Poisoning the World: The Secret Service Mysterious Doctor is a Young Beastly Wife Chapter 393
Chapter 393 : The Two were Incredibly Intimate
Because Ji Yunhuang and a few others had very high levels of martial arts, they were barely able to resist the lure of the music and only became slightly intoxicated by it. Now, other than the fact that his face was slightly pale and his clothes were slightly messy, there was nothing else inappropriate.
Once Ji Yunhuang became clear-headed, he immediately looked towards Ning Xuemo, then stared blankly!
Ning Xuemo was in the arms of Master Han Shanyue!
Han Shanyue's two arms encircled her. His hands were even on the pipa in her arms.
The position of these two were incredibly intimate.
"Xuemo!" Ji Yunhuang could not help but shout her name.
"Master!" the little qilin, who had been sleeping in a drunk stupor all this time, finally woke up. It stared incredulously at its owner.
Did Master not hate this Han Shanyue the most?
Why did she permit him to hug her?
The little qilin's cry was very sharp and piercing. It directed the attention of all the people who were currently trying to organize themselves. When they saw the scene of the two people, their jaws dropped and their eyes widened.
Especially those girls. Their eyes were as big as windows!
Was Master Han Shanyue not the type of person who would never get close to any girls?!
How could this be possible? How could he hold that bearer of ill luck so intimately?!
Moreover, this "bearer of ill luck" t.i.tle was something that he had named her!
At this moment, Ning Xuemo also returned to her senses. She gloomily gritted her teeth, "Let go of me!" Her acupuncture point had even been pressed!
Han Shanyue's eyes darkened slightly. He directly let go of her.
Ning Xuemo staggered before suddenly falling to the floor!
It turned out that because she was forced to dance for so long, all of her energy was gone. When Han Shanyue was carrying her, she could not feel it. However, once he let go of her, she then realized that her entire body was like cotton and so she fell down.
She stayed there for a second, unable to resist glaring at Han Shanyue.
Han Shanyue only glanced coldly at her. He turned and, like light smoke, suddenly disappeared out the window…
"Xuemo!" Ji Yunhuang seemed to want to go over to lend her a hand.
However, he himself also stumbled a little. Just then, in the middle of that musical fight, he had used all his energy to keep himself conscious.
"Huang'er," Emperor Le Xuan quietly said from the side. He also cut a sorry figure. If it weren't for the fact that he had to look the part of Emperor, then he would have already been hiding underneath the table.
Now, he was sitting on the ground and had not gotten up yet.
Ji Yunhuang looked embarra.s.sed. Quickly, he went over to his dad and helped him onto his chair.
Then, when he turned his head around to see Ning Xuemo, she had already gotten up and was running towards the window with clenched teeth.
She wanted to see what scoundrel it was that dared to play such a cruel song…
"Haha, little Xuemo, your dance was very beautiful. I will come find you again…" A faint voice with a touch of teasing laughter in it floated into her ears. That voice was very charming with a slight roughness to it and was very pleasing to the ears.
Ning Xuemo's feet stopped and her expression changed!
This voice was so familiar-sounding!
It… It was the voice of that red-clothed evildoer!
How could this be?
Did she not already kick him into the lake to feed the wild beasts?!
Ning Xuemo clenched her teeth and looked outside.
The building they were currently in was built on top of the water. As it was originally made for vacationing during the summer, there were many windows to let in air.
Standing there, Ning Xuemo could see the entire view.
Under the moonlight, the lake around the building was like a mirror. There was no suspicious person anywhere around. Even Han Shanyue, who had just left through the window, could not be seen.
The other people also had similar ideas. Once they could get up, they each ran to the window closest to them to look out, yet no one could see anything.
Did that guqin player leave?
Ooooo, what’s coming up? Is it just me or is that red ‘evildoer’ kind of… cute?
My favorite subjects in school are math (super calming to me. I know, I’m weird) and science (who doesn’t love explosions?) as well as English when we do stuff I like (not doing grammar).
By the way, Joeglens finally showed me how to make those navigation b.u.t.tons on the top and bottom. THANK YOU JOEGLENS. So now you guys can go around easily!
What are your least favorite school subjects?
Love you all! <>

We use culture in the broad sense to mean the knowledge, beliefs, learned behavior, technology, membership signals and bonding rituals of a particular group. Any social group will have unique or characteristic culture.
• The human capacity for culture allowed a new way of life, changing the environment, causing humans to evolve to be better suited to this environment, creating a positive feedback (self domestication.)
• Cultures work to suppress some problematic motivations, while co-opting other motivations to socially useful ends, sometimes sacrificing the interests of the individual.
Historically culture has been closely allied with the concept of language and ethnicity. In addition to providing our language, culture also provides our practical lifeways: how we get food, clothing and shelter, our social norms of the proper ways to behave towards others, and our political structure.

Definition: Materials are deemed in the PublicDomain , except for any express restrictions included in such Materials. Materials are posted with respect for every party's proprietary rights.
The second clause allows PrimarilyPublicDomain text to include material under a more restrictive copyright license, provided that such restrictions are explicitly marked, though the default is public domain. By contrast, the BerneConvention has content copyrighted by default.
Note that in most countries not based on anglo-saxon common law, you cannot waive your copyright; therefore works in the public domain are solely the works whose copyright has expired. An author can license most of his rights away (use, copy, distribute, perform, dramatize, translate) but not all of them (right to be named as the author, right not to be defamed). The most an author can do is promise he won't enforce the rights he cannot license to others. Hence: primarily PublicDomain.
This tag can be used as PermissionTagging - either in signatures, or to mark entire essays, as in these two examples:
This wiki doesn't have enough quotes from Bond movies. --PrimarilyPublicDomain, BondFan
The above text is PrimarilyPublicDomain
They can also be used on a home page as an OpenAuthor? statement:
Content I submit to MeatballWiki is PrimarilyPublicDomain
Finally, a site may decide to be entirely PrimarilyPublicDomain as a copyright policy.
Issues with tags
PrimarilyPublicDomain tags cannot be used on a site that requires an exclusive license to user-contributed content, such as the OpenDirectoryProject. Most sites use non-exclusive licenses. On sites with highly restrictive non-exclusive licenses, you can think of PPD tags as guerilla free-content, deep behind enemy lines. Do try to remember that it's not really a war.
As public domain is not CopyLeft, PrimarilyPublicDomain tags can be removed as appropriate. For example, if you add to some PrimarilyPublicDomain content, and you don't want the derived work (with your additions) to enter the public domain, you may simply remove the PrimarilyPublicDomain tags. There is no legal requirement that PPD (or PublicDomain) content must forever be attached to a banner proclaiming its freeness. Of course, if your additions are minor they might still be redistributable under FairUse or DeMinimis?.
If a site has a lot of PrimarilyPublicDomain text, then the RightToFork and the RightToLeave are strengthened: content can be moved or copied elsewhere without CopyrightParanoia. They can be used to work around a site with a (perceived) deficient copyright policy (see WikiCopyright et al). They allow OpenContent fans to collaborate with those who desire to have All Rights Reserved.
On the downside, PermissionTagging does increase page clutter. Tagging every comment would be insane, but tagging well thought out essays is fine, where someone else might want to take them. Similar tags for CopyLeft licenses are a more complex problem.
CategoryOpenContent, CategoryCopyright
In favour: MartinHarper, SunirShah, ChrisPurcell, BayleShanks
Against its application within MeatBall: HelmutLeitner (against PermissionTagging generally)
I want to extend PPD slightly, adding a social convention to it. "Do not remove a PPD tag without considering why it was placed there. If the main body of text is PPD, seriously consider making your comments and refactorings PPD, even when you normally wouldn't. The tag indicates a desire to keep something freely-distributable, thus removing the tag is equivalent to expressly denying that desire. Equally, keeping your comments your copyright will make the work of those maintaining the PPD material harder if your ideas (non-copyrightable) are useful. This may well be more than you intended to achieve, even though it is within your rights."
Obviously, we have a lot yet to discuss about PPD. I think convention and PPD should make an effective combination, entirely supplanting "open"/"viral" CopyLeft. This is my opening salvo in the argument. -- ChrisPurcell
It's an interesting idea to make PPD "viral" by use of a CommunityExpectation. On the other hand, if someone was to contribute a fascinating idea, but (for whatever reason) didn't want to make their text PublicDomain, I'd rather they contributed that idea than worry about corrupting PPD text. I don't want to get into whether PPD is "better" than the default copyright situation, just note that some people have a preference. --MartinHarper
If they have that strong a preference, and they step on the toes of someone else with a strong preference (they will be using PPD explicitly on the page, rather than implicitly for all their posts), there will be problems. Better to post under the PPD tag - easy enough to do, no? For example, if I post a "how-to-use" description for some tech described on the site, I want people to be able to just copy it. Removing the PPD tag is thus rather rude, and I just want that stated rather than kept an unspoken convention.
Incidentally, does anyone actually have a problem with keeping explicitly-marked text PPD when they refactor it? Assuming, of course, that the reason for having it is more than just "I like making my text public domain", which should be done implicitly anyway (another convention that should perhaps be made explicit). -- ChrisPurcell
My point was really that I'd rather someone contributed below the PPD tag, leaving their comments copyrighted, than didn't contribute at all. I certainly agree with you that stripping PPD tags for no good reason is rude. --MartinHarper
.... and now I feel differently. Strip the PPD tags, by all means, but say that you've done so in the edit summary, so I (or someone else) can grab the prior text from the VersionHistory and put it up on OpenMeatballWiki. That comes closest to achieving the twin aims of free redistribution and free collaboration. Some form of KeptVersions or "pinned" pages would help here, as one could then pin the last known "free" version. --MartinHarper
I'd like to find a way to state the PrimarilyPublicDomain in english, verbed, perhaps in english prime. The best I have so far is: breakset grants full reproduction rights for any reasonable reason. appropriate attribution appreciated.
oh yes as tersely as possible. :) JasonMichaelSmithson
Hi, Great to find this discussion about PrimarilyPublicDomain. I'll need to absorb it! Meanwhile I've been organizing an Open People network http://www.primarilypublicdomain.org/2.html which uses the "OpenAuthor?" idea described above. We're using that as a network for "working openly" and also leveraging the qualitites of such people as the basis for team-building for private work. Also, I've set up a website Working Openly WOW that helps us organize such information. It is a marriage of a directory (edited (by me) with the help of TheBrain http://www.thebrain.com) and the Web (we rely on references to pages, wikis, etc. rather than use a database). I've made a link back to here from http://www.primarilypublicdomain.org/63.html AndriusKulikauskas
if you add to, or refactor, some PrimarilyPublicDomain content, and you don't want your additions to enter the public domain, you may simply remove the PrimarilyPublicDomain tags. The content then reverts to the same status as everything else on the site.
I'm confused. So what then is the legal status of material elsewhere that was copied from said content whilst it was still public domain? It can't be public domain, since you've now retroactively removed that status from the content you've edited - unless you've replaced the content in its entirety, which wouldn't affect pre-copied text. -- EarleMartin
Yes, this is incorrect. I've fixed it. My point was that the derived work can be treated as if it had never been PPD, but it was badly phrased. --MartinHarper
AndriusKulikauskas and NormMegill? have developed the idea towards EthicalPublicDomain, which might be a step forward if ethical standards can be developed that really support a culture of PublicDomain. -- HelmutLeitner

Well, well well - Great Satan's original ganksta think tank reduxes a caveat of sorts about prepping for the aftermath of a Little Satan blitz on Mullahopolis' high priced enrichment entourage of the new clear persuasion.
"What will Iran do in the wake of an Israeli attack that Iran will almost certainly assume has U.S. support?"
Uh, anything they want?
The Revo Guard led counterstrike could swing both ways -
From totally off the hook like launching 11 thousand missiles a minute turning the gulf, Iraq and the Straights of Hormuz into an inferno to "...the first of hundreds of Shehab-3 rockets, pre-targeted at Tel Aviv, lift off from Tehran" to strike Little Satan to Hiz'B'Allah terror cells acting out in malls, schools and daycares within Continental Great Satan to Fajr 5 rocket attacks on Ft Huachuca, Arizona's Army Intelligence School courtesy of Comrade Hugo's HBA buds trekking into Mexico.
"Tehran's counter-punch would not have to be so bold to be effective and deadly.
"A less discussed, but equally dangerous, option for Iran is to dramatically step up its support of insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. This response is far more likely and, consequently, more worrisome.
"Iran already provides financial and military support to Shiite militias in Iraq, including the most violent and extreme among them. Weapons caches that include improvised explosive devices can be traced directly to Iran. Tehran is also a likely source of mortars, short-range rockets, rocket-propelled grenades and a variety of small arms and ammunition.
"Iran has a history of supplying surrogates to do its fighting. Along with Syria, Iran provided Hiz'B'Allah sophisticated weapons used against Israel in the 2006 Second Lebanon War. Perhaps of most concern to Israel was a variety of rockets with ranges of 20 to 100 kilometers. During that war, despite the best efforts of the Israeli Defense Force, the daily barrage of rockets did not end until the cease-fire took effect.
"Hiz'B'allah also employed high-end antitank guided missiles, which took a heavy toll on the Israeli Army, as well as air-to-ground missiles, anti-ship missiles and even unmanned aerial vehicles. None of these weapons has shown up in significant numbers in Iraq or Afghanistan—yet.
"If Iran did introduce them, the level of violence and the risk to civilians and military installations would escalate significantly. Air-to-ground missiles and antitank guided missiles, integrated with improvised explosive devices, would dramatically increase risks for U.S. and coalition soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Particularly worrisome would be the introduction of portable air-defense missiles, commonly known as MANPADS, into Afghanistan. Mobility in Afghanistan depends upon airplanes and helicopters. Threats to flight would severely hamper current operations.
"In this regard, we should remember that what unhinged the Soviet Union in Afghanistan was a similar increase in enemy capability when the United States gave the Mujahedeen Stinger missiles. The battlefield, including cities, could get much deadlier.
"Iran can accomplish this without directly engaging coalition personnel with its own military forces. In essence, it can deliver a Lebanon-like war to Iraq and Afghanistan. It's a scenario the United States and Israel must seriously consider before pulling the trigger.
True! So what?
It also functions as a wonder raison d'etre to forsake attacking nukey stuff and kill the Iranian regime instead!

Key point 8-10.1. The civil courts have consistently ruled that the First Amendment prevents the civil courts from applying employment laws to the relationship between a church and a minister.
A Michigan court ruled that it was barred by the "ministerial exception" from resolving a wrongful termination lawsuit brought by a dismissed minister against the church that dismissed him. A Lutheran pastor's employment was terminated after serving as pastor of a church (the "defendant") for seven years. The pastor (the "plaintiff") sued his former church, claiming that it had wrongfully terminated his employment in violation of the constitution of his denomination, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS). The plaintiff requested that the trial court order the defendant to reinstate him as its pastor, order the defendant to remove any reference to his termination, and order the restoration of his rights under his employment agreement with the defendant. The trial court summarily dismissed the plaintiff's claims, and he appealed.
A state appeals court agreed that the plaintiff's claims had to be dismissed. The appeals court referenced the United States Supreme Court's decision in 2012, in which the Court unanimously ruled that the First Amendment religion clauses prevent the civil courts from resolving employment disputes between churches and ministers. Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. E.E.O.C., 132 S.Ct. 694 (2012).
The Michigan court concluded that the plaintiff "is asking this court to do exactly what the United States Supreme Court said courts should not, i.e., impose an unwanted minister on a church." It quoted the following excerpt from the Hosanna-Tabor case:

Re: The value of the handmade

>>Would you ditch "alternative process photography" and use "handmade
No. I just do not consider an inkjet print to be a photograph in the
strict sense of the term. Converesely, a silver-gelatin print may be
factory-made, handmade, factory-printed, hand-printed, but it will still
remain a photograph regardless.
>>Another point. Quite a few digital printers use techniques to make the
prints look handmade. Gluing prints on canvas and smear wax over the
image, etc. Maybe the name needs to be "old style handmade
Why not call those digital prints what they are (whatever that may be)
rather than trying to change the currently accepted terminology for
photographic processes or try to fool an audience? Why do we have
"digital PLATINUM giclee" or worse, pigmented inkjet prints being passed
off as "carbon prints"?
>>I think the value is connected to the history and small scale
methodology of processes to make the image and the print, not so much
to the photoreactive chemistry. In my view, different appearance of
the finished prints from those of Polymax dipped in Dektol or inkjet
prints may be an epiphenomenon, although it may be more intuitively
obvious distinction to average people.<<
I've seen large photorealistic watercolors, digitally-maniputed inkjet
prints, and gum bichromate prints that have very similar palettes and
textural appearences. I fail to see why appearence should have anything
to do with the classification. All three are prints. They may also
share the identical materials (pigments, vehicles, paper) to some
degree. Two are handmade prints using "small scale methodology of
process". Only one is a photograph. I think the photoreactive chemistry
is the distinction.
Even with an extended history, an inkjet print will never be a
photograph just as watercolor painting will never be a photograph.

Palm Springs Engagement Session with Valerie Star
"When you combine passion with the open canvas of desert scenes, you get an untamed romance that transcends into a bohemian dream. That was the vision captured to amplify Valerie’s flawless style and persona. As a Los Angeles hair and makeup artist, Valerie has graced the faces of over 100 brides and most of L.A.'s top models. And as a social media influencer known as @valerie_star, her cool impeccable OOTD’s and lifestyle shots has scored her tens of thousands of followers and counting. It is with that exact authenticity of style that sets the tone for this engagement session.
Starting the day with tranquil surroundings at Moorten’s Botanical Gardens in Palm Springs, the scene was set inside a “Cactarium” greenhouse with beds of exotic cacti and succulents. Valerie wore a slip dress by Rose and Delilah and draping kimono by Island Bridal, accessorized with a vintage bejeweled headpiece. This look was complimented by her fiancé, Jimmy, wearing a Zara suit. Moving outside the greenhouse into the gardens, were towering cactus and desert plants that fashioned a greenery background which was accompanied by a gorgeous bouquet filled with exotic florals.
Next, the groom took his 1967 convertible Chevy Mustang out to play for a sunset ride on the open desert road. This edgy look was styled with a lace low-back dress by The Jet Set Diaries and hat by Brixton.
Moving forward to a Gothic elegance painted by the sunset. the couple strolled through the desert fields and nestled on a black peacock chair accessorized with beautiful arrangement that included white peonies for a soft touch.
To finalize the day, a dusk scene was set amongst a mountain backdrop; the open desert was adorned with vintage Persian rugs and a dry floral and wheat crescent that hugged the loving couple in the brisk chill of the desert evening. The bridal bouquet made with rare florals made a statement to finish off this romantic look. Valerie wore a dress by Island Bridal, a sheer headpiece by Gilded Shadows and a white fur coat from Forever 21.
This styled engagement session was strategically planned and captured on photo film by photographer, Dennis Coronel and Evelyn of Harlow Planning. Florals designed by Isabelle Canas. Portion of wardrobe care of Bride Boutique LA. Grooms attire by Zara. Hair and make up done by Valerie herself." -Dennis Roy Coronel | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9348103404045104}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '120752', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:I2IXXYTIUMWKQGJA3XYCPVIMYMYTLIHN', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:2182b61a-2e11-45e7-99f0-b41387d73363>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 14, 12, 52, 58), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.185.159.145', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:GPCDOHMXZKRQRKN4UINQYNI7VXNK5SVQ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0b64e78a-ce14-4a80-a4c6-f7d70d477105>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.dennisroycoronel.com/blog/2017/8/15/valerie-s', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:eb3c0b6e-e152-45cf-9865-825a32010c04>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '386', 'url': 'https://www.dennisroycoronel.com/blog/2017/8/15/valerie-s', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-232-130-137.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.030217111110687256', 'original_id': 'cfdc8e024ffc11467ec16ecee6b41e6348a13d15039822d50cd984b7c3ddf4d7'} |
WRAPUP 1-Olympics-London hopes for sunshine and full stadiums
* Monday sees stellar men's 200 freestyle showdown
* Men's gymnastics team final and 10 metres diving on bill
* France steal relay gold, leaving Phelps with silver
* Swimming records for Vollmer and Van der Burgh
* China lead medals table with six golds
By Kevin Liffey
LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - Organisers will hope for fuller
stadiums and drier weather to keep up the momentum of the London
Olympics on Monday as some of swimming's great names slug it out
in a heavyweight men's freestyle clash.
Sports fans from all over Britain, who had been charmed by
the Olympic publicity offensive but let down by a complex ballot
system for the 8.8 million tickets, have been outraged by
footage of empty seats at some of the hottest events including
tennis, swimming and gymnastics.
Organising committee chairman Sebastian Coe said the missing
spectators were mostly officials from sports federations, other
Games officials or their families and friends.
He said organisers were trying to fill spare seats by
inviting local children and teachers to use spare tickets,
selling more tickets and upgrading other ticketholders.
Many of the seats at Sunday's gymnastics were filled by
soldiers taking a break from Olympic security duties.
Those who did witness Sunday's action could have had few
complaints about two world records in the pool, a dazzling
exhibition from the U.S. basketball team and dramatic upsets in
gymnastics and the men's 4x100 freestyle relay.
Even the stormy weather, which held up the tennis and
equestrian competitions and drenched thousands of spectators,
provided its own drama in the women's cycling road race.
Monday sees one of the most anticipated races in the pool,
the 200 freestyle where American Ryan Lochte, Sun Yang of China
and France's Yannick Agnel will all chase a second London gold.
Lochte won gold in the 400 individual medley, trouncing his
compatriot Michael Phelps, Sun triumphed in the 400 freestyle
and Agnel overhauled Lochte to clinch a shock gold for France
with a devastating surge on the last length of Sunday's 4x100
Monday's race includes world record holder Paul Biedermann
of Germany and South Korea's Park Tae-hwan and could decide
bragging rights over who is the best male swimmer at the Games.
Also up for grabs are the men's 100 backstroke, where Matt
of the U.S. qualified fastest, the women's 100
backstroke where Australia's Emily Seebohm almost broke the
world record in qualifying, and the women's 100 breaststroke
where 15-year-old Lithuanian Ruta Meilutyte leads the field.
On Sunday, South Africa's Cameron Van der Burgh and American
Dana Vollmer set world records in the men's 100 breaststroke and
women's 100 butterfly respectively, both erasing times set in
2009 before buoyancy-boosting polyurethane bodysuits were
Van der Burgh became the first South African male to win
individual Olympic swimming gold.
Japan's Kosuke Kitajima, trying to be the first male swimmer
to win gold in the same event at three successive Olympics,
could only finish fifth.
There was a further pool gold for France when top-ranked
Camille Muffat won the women's 400 freestyle.
Phelps's silver in the relay was his first in these Games,
to go with 14 previous golds and two bronzes, and left him one
shy of the all-time record of 18 held by Soviet gymnast Larisa
Monday's weather is forecast to be sunny but British cyclist
Lizzie Armitstead could not have been happier with the
rainstorms that helped her land the host nation's first medal of
the games, a silver.
"What a ride by Lizzie, she was doing a rain dance this
morning, praying for rain. You think I'm kidding - she really
was," Team GB performance director David Brailsford told
Armitstead joined Russia's Olga Zabelinskaya and red-hot
pre-race favourite Marianne Vos in a bold breakaway 50km from
home and, with the downpours weakening the resolve of the
chasers, narrowly lost the final sprint to the Dutchwoman.
The result meant relief for Britain but also for Vos who has
a host of other titles but was desperate for road gold after
finishing second in the last five road race world championships.
Overall, China took a commanding early lead in the rankings
11 medals including three golds.
China's Guo Wenjun retained her Olympic title in the 10
metre air pistol shooting on Sunday while compatriots Wu Minxia
and He Zi took their expected easy gold in the women's
synchronised three-metre springboard diving.
The Chinese team can expect to add another gold by Yuan Cao
and Yanquan Zhang in the 10-metre synchronised platform diving
on Monday and the squad will also try to challenge the American
favourites for the men's gymnastics team gold.
The latest U.S. basketball 'Dream Team', this time featuring
LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, began their title defence with a
slick 98-71 defeat of France, drawing 'oohs' from the crowd with
no-look assists, thunderous dunks and sublime handling.
South Korea's women extended their domination of Olympic
archery by winning a seventh straight team gold although they
needed a near-perfect nine from their last arrow to overcome
China who took their third successive silver.
But there was nothing near perfection from U.S. gymnast
Jordyn Wieber, the world champion who fled from reporters as her
dreams of landing the all-round Olympic crown were shattered.
display meant it was her team mates Gabby Douglas and Aly
Raisman who qualified instead for the individual final.

4 Reasons Why Drivers Are Still The #1 Priority For Automakers
Take that autonomous cars.
This past week was a big one for the world of cars. The New York Auto Show was the obvious mile marker for the mainstream auto industry. All of the reveals and automaker interviews don’t only serve to get us drooling for the next batch of cars, they also help us to get a better glimpse of where the auto industry is headed in the near future. Between SUVs, convertibles, performance models, and improvements on entry-level cars, things seem to be looking good for drivers.
Unsurprisingly, SUVs stole a decent portion of the spotlight at New York. With late 2015 and early 2016 offering low gas prices, SUVs have gotten just the jolt they need to outsell the car. The most surprising answer to the call for mobile living rooms was the Lincoln Navigator Concept. Okay, so realistically there’s no way Lincoln will build the thing with gullwing doors unless they’re competing with the Model X, but it shows that Lincoln is taking SUVs seriously. Other appearances included the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43, and the Maserati Levante SUV, which helped to show the world that the segment isn't going nowhere despite tighter emissions regulations.

Performance cars of all kinds, but especially the convertible variety, had a field day as well. Mazda revealed the Miata RF (Retractable Fastback) as an attractive hardtop that can lap a racetrack and enjoy sunny skies at the same time. Even Chevrolet surprised the Big Apple with a 640 horsepower topless Hellcat fighter, the Camaro ZL1 convertible. AMG took the wraps off of two versions of the first ever C-Class cabrio. One was the C63 AMG and the other was the C43 AMG, which were two of many in an army of other AMG cars that made it to New York. These cars highlighted Mercedes’ plan to thickly line their pockets on the chrome three-letter badges, even though it seems like they won’t need much help.
The reveal of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 provided Chevy’s answer to the truly epic Mustang Shelby GT350. Meanwhile, a facelift and slight power boost featured on the refreshed Nissan GT-R only proved that the Nissan engineers did things right the first time because they didn’t need to spend too much time on a refresh even ten years into production. A GT3-branded Acura NSX also offered a potential glimpse into what the NSX Type-R would look like. This helped to show that Acura acknowledges the fact that not all purists were too happy with the hybrid drivetrain and $100k plus price tag on the new NSX. While these three cars are not likely to compete with each other, they highlight big steps forward for each manufacturer.
On the lower end of the price spectrum, cars like the refreshed Kia Cadenza and the Hyundai Genesis concept are drawing attention to the rise of Korea’s auto industry by proving that their cars can compete with Germany and Japan and are no longer for those on extreme budgets. Hyundai has done a better job at shedding the cheap car image with unique badges for the Genesis, but this was necessary in order to make a car that could keep up with the BMW 3 Series. A refreshed Acura MDX is Honda's latest attempt to try and steal away some of Lexus' huge sales numbers. Meanwhile, the Civic Si hatchback teased by Honda was a delightful way to learn that cheap Hondas will still be fun.
All of these things mean good news for gearheads. It seems as if cars will be keeping their high-power power plants in an era of downsizing and reaching for better MPG ratings. Increasing the number of luxury options is becoming more of a priority for all automakers from Aston Martin to Kia, and this means we can expect more awesome auto show reveals and a migration of well-designed cars from the top of the automotive totem pole all the way to the bottom. Despite the rise of autonomous cars, the New York Auto Show and recent revelations by automakers show that the person sitting in the driver’s seat is still a huge priority for automakers. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9480852484703064}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '138700', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:KRLDR7A4NHMU7EQQWMT4FRAEUJF4QG37', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:01e36a5e-18ca-46a8-ad0c-c3fb72fa1e0b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 14, 15, 12, 14), 'WARC-IP-Address': '34.197.48.139', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:NZYN5EWJHXTHBSDNGM5GUCIVTVKZDWKG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:1e096cd2-83f3-4e5e-98a2-3f4bd5b89fa8>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://carbuzz.com/news/4-reasons-why-drivers-are-still-the-1-priority-for-automakers', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:83933c5a-1f4b-4084-9a6d-d8566b900cdd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '741', 'url': 'https://carbuzz.com/news/4-reasons-why-drivers-are-still-the-1-priority-for-automakers', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-146-95-138.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.01918894052505493', 'original_id': 'd3c8152a2a55a0e044397ec1502ab72aa1ba475ab8ab6d79839df755b5710fb5'} |
Several programs have formed recently to provide kids with food to take home on the weekends. For many students, their only reliable meals are school breakfast and lunch. Wochit
COLD SPRING — Nearly 40 percent of public school students in Minnesota are eligible for free and reduced lunch. For many kids, school breakfasts and lunches are the only meal they can count on. The weekend can seem very long when you're hungry.
Several small, Central Minnesota groups hope to change that, with programs that send food home with students on weekends. The idea seems to be catching on. Debbie Nelson was ahead of the curve. She founded Rocori Action Packs and has been providing food to kids since 2014. Just this year, Nelson had five groups approach her, asking how to get started.
"That's the exciting part," Nelson said. "Two people could definitely start it. I encourage people to start small."
Rocori Action Packs started with just Rockville. Now they are available in all three elementary schools in the district and have helped students at Sts. Peter and Paul School and St. Boniface School.
Reaching all area students in need could be a lofty goal. Percentages of students eligible for free and reduced lunch in Central Minnesota range from about 16 percent in Sartell-St. Stephen schools to about 58 percent in St. Cloud schools. That is nearly 8,500 students.
Last year, Nelson helped The Weekend Project start in Melrose and Sauk Centre. That project was founded by Luke Blonigen and his wife Leah Blonigen and Mel Wander.
In St. Cloud, two different groups are starting programs. Colt Action Packs starts at Kennedy Community School in May and organizers hope to expand the program next school year. Another group started by four parents at Madison elementary hopes to start next school year and then expand to Lincoln, Talahi and Discovery schools.
Teachers like the Blonigens and Wander see the difference it makes.
"There's a lot less anxiety," Leah said. "Knowing if I'm going home, is there going to be something. If there wasn't something over the weekend, I feel like they were always playing catch up, and trying to make it to the next (meal)."
"Just the kids' attitude. If they don't eat, they're hungry and they're thinking about food all the time. They're not paying attention in class. They're distracted because they're hungry," Luke said.
Surveys from a program in Mankato show others agree. Teachers said they noticed their students showed improved emotional health, increased energy level and improved relationships with school staff.
There's plenty of scientific evidence to back up the connection between food and school achievement. Hungry children have lower math scores, according to the National Education Association. They are also are more likely to repeat a grade, come to school late, or miss it entirely. Students who have breakfast at school exhibit fewer behavioral and psychological problems.
The most difficult part is getting the programs up and running and finding a reliable source of funds to buy food, so they can consistently provide meals.
"You just have to have the funds. Wander said. "It was really hard standing in front of Lions groups and all these people. They didn't believe our communities had hungry kids."
The cost is $5 per bag, per student, coming out to about $180 per year per student. Some families donate $20 a month, to cover one kid for that month. The Weekend Project gives out about 150 bags each week, 85 in Melrose and 56 in Sauk Centre.
It's also just getting the logistics down. Nelson is having a learn-to-pack night on April 4, for groups considering a program. (To attend, contact Nelson.) There are also plenty of starter guides available online from various organizations.
These programs can get very large. Mankato's Backpack Food Program served nearly 177,000 meals to nearly 960 students at 15 elementary schools in the 2015-2016 school year. The number of kids helped is probably larger: 80 percent of students reported sharing their food pack items and 30 percent reported sharing with siblings. About 82 percent of parents reported the packs are sometimes or always their main source of breakfast and lunch for their children on weekends.
In St. Cloud, Suzanne Friedrich and a few other parents proposed a program for Madison elementary. Called St. Cloud Feeding Area Children Together, or FACT Packs, Friedrich said they hope to start at Madison in September and expand to one or two schools in January.
It's a major undertaking. All four schools could include about 1,000 students a week. At $5 a bag, they have to be sure the can sustain the $5,000-per-week tab.
The recently formed Colt Action Packs group at Kennedy Community School in St. Joseph plans to start with about 15 kids and hopes to expand in the fall, said Molly Weyrens, one of the group members.
Sauk Rapids-Rice schools don't have a weekend program yet, but they see the need and have been meeting with outside organizations, said Jenny Bushman, director of teaching and learning. Sartell-St. Stephen doesn't have a weekend program either.
Nelson gets the food from a variety of sources, supporting local businesses if she can, including Teal's Market, Food Pride and Sam's Club. Coborn's helps the program in Sauk Centre. Some sources give them the food at just over cost and other food is easy to buy in bulk.
The food packs contain two breakfast items, two mini meals, two snacks and two fruit products. All are kid-friendly and easy to make. Nelson tries to get the most healthful food she can, and to vary the food from week to week. For instance, she buys unsweetened applesauce and fruit cups with juice. Fresh fruits and vegetables would be nice, but they're not practical, as groups pack a few weeks ahead.
There are no formal income requirements or forms to sign. Anybody can request that their child gets a pack.
"Because we aren't a government-sponsored anything, we don't have to prove to anybody who does and doesn't get it," Nelson said. "I don't know who's on the list. I just know how many go to each school."
And the numbers change continually, as people go on and off the list. In Rocori, they were as high as 94 kids but now prepare about 82.
"I think that first year, we really worked hard on publicity, and getting the word out on what it was, that there really wasn't any strings attached. It's purely a gift from our community." Nelson said. Bags go directly into lockers so a child doesn't have to pick up a bag in front of their friends.
"I don't think they all go home to bare cupboards," Nelson said, but any little bit helps.
"We had a family tell us, oh we're so thankful because we're just kind of on the border and this allowed us to buy socks, or whatever," Nelson said. "Sometimes, it's not because there isn't food at home. It's that there's not an adult at home. Because a pound of hamburger doesn't do — I always joke — my 10th grader a lot of good."
Like food shelves, financial donations are usually best, as the groups usually have better buying-power than the average consumer through deals with retailers. Many groups partner with an already-established nonprofit, so donations are eligible for tax deductions. Rocori Action Packs and the Weekend Project operate out of River of Life churches in Cold Spring and Sauk Centre.
If groups can, they may pack extra food for long breaks.
"Longer breaks were just, you could see the anxiety and the worry. Most people are excited to go home for Christmas break and some kids are wondering what am I going to eat this whole time," Wander said.
Nelson has found volunteers love making the food packs. It's easy and only takes up to an hour.
"The football team, dance team, those are the ones it literally takes 15 minutes," Nelson said. "We cannot get the stuff out there fast enough."
They've had Lions clubs, church groups, sports teams, Girl Scouts and families participate. It's so popular, she has to limit groups to volunteering once per year.
There is still room for growth. Rocori Action Packs cover 11 percent of students, while about 27 percent are eligible for free and reduced lunch.
"We could potentially grow significantly," Nelson said.

How can we get employees to speak up (when they see risky behavior)?
Speak UpVictor has over 20 years experience in the warehouse. You have a few years of experience and were just hired a few weeks ago. Today, you are working as a team, unloading pallets of packaged materials that were delivered from the dock. As both of you approach the first pallet, Victor takes a position directly in front of the strapping that is straining under tension. You see that this puts him in the line of fire. Instinctively, you take a step back when Victor pulls a pair of snips from his pocket to cut the strapping…
Do you speak up? Do you stop him? Are you sure?
Perhaps you would say something. But a surprising number of people in this situation would stay silent. Their thought process would be something like, “Surely he must know how to perform this task safely. He’s done it thousands of times. I’m the rookie here. Who am I to question his experience and job knowledge?”
Peer pressure is a powerful social influence. Most of us are fearful of being considered an outcast if we are the dissenter, especially if we have less informal authority than other people in our natural work group.
You may think of peer pressure as overt statements from co-workers. “Look, this is the way things are done around here.” But this is not always the case. In the scenario above, Victor did not have to remind you about his seniority and experience. It was implied and understood.

After leaving the House, what did Tyler do?
Tyler returned to the practice of law, though he did not enjoy it as much as he did when he was younger. He even got into a fight with someone that he had vigorously cross-examined at an earlier time.

PhD Course: Uses of Art and Culture
When: Monday, June 4, 2018 - Friday, June 8, 2018
Where: Sandbjerg Estate
Recent years have seen an increased interest in thinking about the societal ‘usability’ and ‘impact’ of the phenomena studied by the humanities and, by implication, the societal ‘relevance’ of the humanities themselves and the methodologies of the humanities. This interest has given new impetus to previously understudied questions, such as: Do art and culture function more at a cognitive or an affective level, or can these not be separated analytically? What about the social, political and economic functions of art and culture, and how are these linked to their affective and cognitive functions? Is it OK for an academic critic to enthusiastically identify with aspects of a work or a performance and take this attachment as the object of analysis, or is the point of criticism indeed to be critically detached and at a distance from oneself and the work? In other words, in what mood should we engage with art and culture? And how much should one’s subjective and situated political and ethical outlook be allowed to filter through to and shape one’s scholarly work?
Literature and art have always played an important role in society. How were art and culture used outside of academia in earlier centuries and how are they used today: in reading clubs and groups, in nursing homes, in museums and other cultural institutions, in theatre and art and cultural performances within and without institutions, in libraries, in the rehabilitation of terminally ill patients, in the news, in cultural tourism and as forms of entertainment in all kinds of media? How have theories and practices of art and culture been affected, even transformed, by the strong emphasis on the ‘user’ in the encompassing ‘participatory turn’ ‒ for instance, in the arts themselves, on media platforms and in non-formal education spaces and institutions such as museums? What do all these various uses signify? What changes have they brought about? And how can we approach and understand them methodologically?
At the annual Sandbjerg graduate seminar, we will meet to probe these and other questions across disciplines, including but not limited to literature, art history, museum studies, theatre and performance studies, media studies, musicology, creative writing studies, visual studies and cultural studies. This Call for Papers thus invites interested scholars to discuss how the concept of use is productive for their research in terms of either object of study or method of study.
Ideally, participants may also relate these issues to the bigger question of how their own research is of use, to whom, where and when both inside and outside of academia, perhaps ultimately gaining a more nuanced common understanding of how we can talk about ‘use’ and ‘relevance’ in relation to the humanities.

Giving Myself a Raise
Received Sunday, December 20, 2009
Perspective and Opinion on ISYN I have a question and I would love some advice from all of you.
I'm a college student who does some babysitting for a few families. Right now it is on a strictly as needed basis. One of the families has 4 girls, ages 3-8, and I have been babysitting for them for over 3 years. For one summer I was their live-in nanny, and for another full year I lived above the garage and had regular hours throughout the week. During this time I have never received a raise from them; I still make $10 an hour, which is the rate I agreed upon when I began as an occasional babysitter. I often feel taken advantage of with this family- they arrive home late without calling, I end up paying for things without being reimbursed, etc, and I know that this is mainly my own fault for not speaking up, but still feel that I'm not getting paid what I deserve for the work I'm doing.
The other family I babysit for has only one child, a 1 year old girl. From that family I am paid $12-13 an hour (the mother always rounds up, so my pay varies).
Now my question is this. I have no contract with either family; they simply text me to ask if I'm available on a certain night. Is it okay for me to simply let the first family know that I've decided to raise my rate? I'm not sure how else to go about this, since I'm not really their nanny anymore, though sometimes I feel like I still am, but I know I won't be given a raise if I don't ask for it. I appreciate any advice you can give me
Upstate Mom said...
It's fine to notify a family that as of the new year your rates are going up to reflect the "going market" or something like that. If they choose not to call you after that, that is their choice. Let them try to find someone they trust to watch all of their kids for $10. Can't be done. Happy Holidays.
Ariel-chan said...
I do this sort of business too, and if the family was treating me well I either wouldn't bother (respecting the good relationship we have and the good references I will get from them) or inform them WHY my rate was going up (i.e. I have more experience, I'm CPR certified now, etc). Once you have more to offer a new family, your time is worth more.
On the other hand, I've had a few families do what you're describing- arriving home late, not necessarily paying what you're owed, etc. and those families I usually just stop being available for. They're taking you for granted which says they don't think your time is worth much at all. I would look into getting a new family or two and see how much they appreciate you when they suddenly don't have a babysitter at all.
Nannytoo said...
I think both the pp's are correct. This family is taking advantage of you- one valid option would be to gently "ditch" them. However, if you prefer to ask for a raise, then just say, "After New Year's my rates are going up to $13 per hour" or whatever you decide. It's worked for me in the past. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.988702952861786}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '93667', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:INYO3TF5C5EETIOZETBQTQ7Z65FJ6YHA', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:d2802116-1838-4dd2-b5ee-1de96d21c9ff>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 7, 17, 9, 40, 31), 'WARC-IP-Address': '216.58.217.129', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:MSXKB4IAGX5ULS4BCCWTWMTXFXROYKEA', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:eca20b00-c5a9-4327-a81a-441676e8d46e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://isawyournanny.blogspot.com/2009/12/giving-myself-raise.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:82239040-1b60-4d16-9b2d-56ee885a858a>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '566', 'url': 'http://isawyournanny.blogspot.com/2009/12/giving-myself-raise.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-93-215-215.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-30\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July 2018\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.26688265800476074', 'original_id': '7a42a0b6950446dd2a1370076df1ba5a5fa6ed1c80bfff4a8f48090bad9fc623'} |
Enjoying Free RTG Slots Games
RTG free slots games are excellent choices if you're just interested in passing the time without having to spend a ton of cash to do it. RTG, otherwise known as Realtime Gaming, is one of the leading software developers in the world today. With the backing that they have earned, they are able to create some of the most beautiful, innovative titles in the gambling world. Of course, even though they provide people with the opportunity to win cold, hard cash, you're not obligated to spend a single red cent to enjoy the majority of them. Once you've located a venue, you'll have several different options available to you. You'll be able to decide whether you'd like to download the software or play instantly, or even whether or not you're interested in creating an account so that you can keep track of your progress.
When it comes to RTG free slots games, there may be a bit of advantage in downloading the suite. This is because you'll have access to more titles than you would otherwise, and you'll even be able to customize some options that aren't available to you in the Flash versions. For instance, you can set the Autoplay function to progress through the spins for you rather than clicking the button each and every time, and you can even decide which sounds you'd like to hear as well as which ones you'd rather turn off. These things are more important to some people than to others, so you'll need to weigh the perks against the downfalls before you make your decision.
Finally, there is certainly no shortage of variety with it comes to these slots. Anything that you'd be able to enjoy for real money is available in an unpaid counterpart. People choose the free versions for many different reasons, too. One of the most popular has to do with testing a machine's volatility. If it pays out small amounts frequently, it is said to be highly volatile, while if it pays out larger amounts rather infrequently it is said to have low volatility. Different people enjoy different things, and RTG free slot games give them the opportunity to put things to the test prior to making an investment. There are literally dozens of places online where these titles can be enjoyed, so they shouldn't be difficult to find. In most cases, should you choose to move over to a real money account in the future, you can take advantage of lucrative bonus offers to help you get started. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.976043164730072}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '11607', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:5FYDEFUGSCCT2UN3MK7SFRKKGQZIALGA', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:5c4fffd5-2ef6-43eb-92ef-dd2a4bacb947>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 7, 14, 59), 'WARC-IP-Address': '91.238.162.172', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:7BW5GP3Q6CZSGP2N4HZNQ6BPAIPSJAZ6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8f1b6287-392c-46c7-b798-f8cc726406e3>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.playslotsgames.ca/rtg-slots.htm', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d123fa89-2f89-405c-8dc0-4c46e821c52d>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '427', 'url': 'http://www.playslotsgames.ca/rtg-slots.htm', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-149-111-56.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.10356229543685913', 'original_id': '56a87b9a8932c27b8340766ac9b2e63e8bbaa27747e62a71944034b21feed9bb'} |

MPAA Rating: R for sequences of strong violence and language.

JJ Rating: B
See it again: Maybe.
Own it: I only own the very first one. I love set design, but I wouldn’t buy the film for it.
Recommend it to: Those that like the other ones before, but are not expecting something spectacular.
Lots of people are still dead. Some people are not dead. The some want to continue not being dead. The dead that are alive who are not called zombies are hungry to eat those that are not dead. The company behind it all, Umbrella, still functions. Alice (Milla Jovoich) is standing in their way hindering their need to make more non-dead not zombie people. Resident Evil: Afterlife
The beginning of the film is spectacular. The rain, the crosswalk in Japan, the people, the umbrellas, the way the camera pans…everything was utter perfection. It set up how visually stunning Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The set designs, the cinematography were all phenomenal. I loved it. I don’t normally love 3D at all because I find it to be a gimmick and I know that it was also a gimmick this time to get more money (but I saw 3D it in the morning so it cost as much as if I saw it in the afternoon without 3D) because they, I figure, thought they wouldn’t get as many to see it…so why not make it 3D to eek out more bucks? I thought the 3D aspect was fun. I enjoyed the slow motion tactics, the silly things and the weird way the zombies look. There wasn’t, however, a lot of zombie action as the other films. Though the big guy with the ax (I know he has a name, but I’m not up to speed on the video games--played the first two, that’s it) was pretty darn freaky and Claire (Ali Larter) and Alice fighting him was a wowing fight scene, for sure.
What was a drag had to be the lag time during many parts of the film. It’s only one hour and thirty-six minutes, but it felt so much longer because of the feet dragging of the story. Then there’s the weird way some people died. Specifically one person who is all the sudden shot by a gun, for no good reason, just because. I didn’t understand that death. I was baffled as to why it even happened at that moment, right then. For the storyline it was unnecessary to do it. The character that did it could have gone and done what he had wanted to without killing anyone. Plus, the other characters didn’t even comment about the death afterward. It was awkward.
Oh, but the best character introduction has to be Wentworth Miller as Chris. Fantastic way to introduce someone that was in a show called “Prison Break” in a prison. I was in the theater with, I think, twelve other guys (no women) and I was the only one that laughed. I wonder how many people found that funny like I did. I kept laughing every time they showed him in the prison. Very funny, especially when he says, “Trust me” because he has that look that says “Don’t trust me” even when he was in “Prison Break”. Haha. Loved that aspect.
Shawn Robert plays Albert the baddie, the one that does some major butt kicking through out the film. He has a stone cold face that smirks from time to time at the perfect moment. His mechanical movements and dark demeanor are great contrast to Milla’s Alice who is slightly more emotional and heartfelt. Overall Resident Evil: Afterlife has great acting by many.
Again the fault of the poorness in the movie is due to the script. It didn’t have as much punch as the sets and the look of the film. And, yes, it was sort of like the Resident Evil’s story is in the afterlife and begging to be brought back to “life”. Resident Evil: Afterlife tried to resuscitate the series, but didn’t do such a hot job. Considering the ending teases another film in the future…it won’t be a shocker if it goes on and on like a heart or an energizer bunny.

The Instagram Diet
Who’s ready to lose some weight?
The food porn that currently occupies a good portion of your Instagram feed could be turning you off from the types of foods you’re observing, according to a recent study out of BYU that was published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology.
Research suggests that seeing photos of certain foods, as opposed to eating them, still gives you a feeling of satiation, which makes those foods less appealing when it actually comes time to chow down.
Here’s how the test was conducted: BYU professors Ryan Elder and Jeff Larson recruited 232 people to rate pictures of food. Half of the participants looked at (and rated) pictures of salty foods while the other half rated pictures of sweets. At the end of the rating period, all the participants were fed peanuts.
People who observed salty food the whole time weren’t so excited by the peanuts, even though peanuts never appeared in any of their salty food photos. Apparently, just seeing salty foods made those participants all salted out, satiated on the experience of saltiness without orally consuming any salt.
Luckily for foodies on Instagram, it takes more than a few pictures of a certain food to be satiated on it.

So what do we do with this information?
Well, the way I see it, this is good news. If you think of humans in the context of all animals, with us simply residing at the top of the food chain, our relationship with food is pretty weird. Wild animals eat to survive, and if something tastes good, it’s simply an indication that their body can safely digest that food.
Meanwhile, we’re putting all kinds of crazy chemicals into processed foods that have now made the United States an embarrassingly overweight country. We gorge ourselves on delicious meals like it’s the last time we’ll ever see food, without the slightest consideration that we’ll eat again in a matter of hours.
If anything, our obsession with photographing food is just one more bit of proof that we should adjust our relationship with food. But perhaps this is evolution at play. The more we photograph food, and then stare at it, the less we want it, and eventually Instagram’s #foodporn hashtag will go down in medical journals as the beginning of a new obesity cure (but I doubt it). | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '29', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9582595229148864}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '64575', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:WFC5KP2PFVKYROIMRHNDYHX5PL5W6L2K', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:52f83686-8a8b-4508-ac52-95914474f923>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 14, 15, 45, 34), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.66.2', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:2G67M24LBHJEBLMC4GGORN7UMAFVBNKT', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e9599bd2-5046-4d3f-8972-5f4c9127b7a6>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://techcrunch.com/2013/10/07/food-filled-instagram-feeds-could-help-you-eat-less/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:83933c5a-1f4b-4084-9a6d-d8566b900cdd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '429', 'url': 'https://techcrunch.com/2013/10/07/food-filled-instagram-feeds-could-help-you-eat-less/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-146-95-138.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.023480594158172607', 'original_id': '3a7dd1f8720ae628a64826b421a47d1e6e51a77a8d37fabd9f0de975bc7e84e2'} |
‘Depressed’ Jon Venables ‘Wants To Be Freed For Christmas’
Jon Venables wants to be freed from prison for Christmas as he admits to ‘battling’ depression.
Venables, who is currently serving a three-year sentence for collecting child pornography, is infamous for having killed two-year-old James Bulger with Robert Thompson when they were both just 10 years old.
In November last year, Venables was sentenced to 40 months in prison at the Old Bailey, when his collection of 1,000 indecent images of children and babies was found along with a ‘paedophile manual’.
A source told the Daily Star that Venables has applied for temporary leave over the festive period and that he was anxious to get away from the other inmates.
Their source said:
Prisoners who are coming to the end of their sentence or inmates who are not considered a risk to the public are often released on a temporary licence over Christmas.
James BulgerGetty
Venables may not get his wish however as the British Government says a prison ‘won’t release someone if it thinks they’re a risk to the public or may commit more crime’.
The Daily Star reports that Venables is suffering from anxiety and depression. He allegedly spends his days hiding in his cell where he’s monitored by a special team of guards.
Last year Venables admitted to possessing child abuse images and the ‘paedophile manual’. The court reportedly heard that he had 1,170 indecent photos of children including 392 category A images.
James BulgerGetty
The sentencing judges said the images Venables had downloaded were ‘vile’ and ‘heartbreaking’. He added that the case was ‘unique’ because of Venables’ ‘brutal murder and torture’ of James Bulger.
Venables and his accomplice Robert Thompson murdered James Bulger on 12 February 1993, when he was just two years old.
The two boys led James away from the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle when his mother momentarily took her eyes off him.
Over the next few hours, Venables and Thompson brutally tortured James before he eventually succumbed to his numerous injuries.
Venables and Thompson left his mutilated body on a railway line in the hopes that a train would hit the body and his death would be thought an accident. His body was discovered two days after his murder.
Thompson and Venables were charged with abducting and murdering Bulger on February 20, 1993 after police discovered evidence connecting the pair to the crime scene.
The judge recommended that the boys be sentenced to a minimum of eight years and both were released on licence in 2001 after serving eight years for the toddler’s murder.
Controversially the pair were granted lifelong anonymity and given new identities.
Venables, however, broke his parole in 2010 when he was discovered to be downloading child pornography. He was jailed for a further two years before being granted parole again in July 2013.
When Venables was sentenced last November James Bulger’s mum Denise Fergus branded him a ‘vile, perverted psychopath’.
However, she later said she no longer has the energy to be angry anymore and instead focuses her efforts into looking after her surviving sons.

Frozen pond safety guidelines
With the recent extremely cold weather, ponds across Kansas have begun to freeze over. Invariably, questions arise such as, “How quickly does the ice thicken?” and “How thick does ice need to be to support a person? A car?”. The answers to these questions vary greatly.
Ice accumulation rates can be determined by a number of complex formulas that include temperature, snow cover, wind, and radiational cooling. A simpler method looks at Frost Degree Days (FDDs). This is calculated similar to growing degree days. Take the average temperature and subtract it from the freezing point of water (32 degrees F). Each degree that the average is below freezing is one FDD. After the first ice layer forms, studies have shown that the ice will accumulate at about 1 inch per 15 FDDs. For the questions regarding depth to support various objects, there are tables that indicate 2-4 inches of ice would support a single individual, while 8 to 12 inches of ice would support a car (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/safety/ice/thickness.html). However, all of those guides mention that this is for “clear, solid ice”, and are based on regions with consistent, long-term cold weather, such as Canada, Alaska, the northern United States, and Russia. It should also be noted that these calculations are for still water. Rate of accumulation will be much slower in moving water, and the strength of the ice will be less.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has this advice, “The DNR does not recommend the standard "inch-thickness" guide used by many anglers and snowmobilers to determine ice safety. A minimum of four inches of clear ice is required to support an average person's weight on the ice, but since ice seldom forms at a uniform rate it is important to check ice thickness with a spud and ruler every few steps.” They also note, “Be especially cautious in areas where air temperatures have fluctuated. A warm spell may take several days to weaken the ice; however, when temperatures vary widely, causing the ice to thaw during the day and refreeze at night, the result is a weak, "spongy" or honeycombed ice that is unsafe.” (http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-10364_52261_63242-160657--,00.html).
So despite the recent cold weather, don’t trust that ice on the ponds here in Kansas.

The Path to Happiness
One day a friend asked me whether I knew the path to happiness. Her question made me ponder upon happiness. Yea, where is the path to happiness? Am I now happy? What is the state of my emotional being? And the ultimate question would be: what is happiness?
Does happiness equal having a lot of money? Or is happiness love?
Then I began to do a little research by asking people about happiness. Most of them refer happiness as a subjective feeling of goodness caused by beneficial circumstances such as being loved, having lots of money, having accomplished life time goals, acquiring good fortunes, getting married, having been healed, eating good food, and having other physical pleasures.
I have met the richest people and not all of them are happy. And the most successful people claimed that it is very lonely up there. When they were climbing the ladder of success, they expected that when they reach the top of the world, they would be happy. Instead, they find nothing but loneliness.
When I asked some newly-wed couples, they think they could be happy by being married.
Well... as we; older people; know, obviously that’s not true at all. If by being married we could get happiness then there would be no divorce in the world.
Children have different standards of happiness. A 5-year-old would be happy when his parents bring him to Disney Land. A 17-year might be really offended when his parents take him to Disney Land. On the other hand, he might appreciate and be happy if he gets a car as his birthday present.
All due respects to the people providing the answers above, those circumstances paths to happiness are uncontrollable. When our happiness depends on uncontrollable circumstances, then our happiness is also uncontrollable and unstable.
Happiness should be within us, not depend on unstable circumstances.
Happiness is one of the keys to healthy brain. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.981265127658844}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '18393', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:Z5CYXI2CW3JJ6J3JL474FJ3KNMU5JX2K', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:123793de-a3eb-44eb-bcc2-db34cf4dea7f>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 14, 13, 21, 31), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.54.126.99', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:6NEVJHSITVDLJF5JB3I3B4VQXD7KBDBD', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a67c7ab5-373a-4d15-909c-113630492d9c>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.drleeacademia.com/article/69-the-path-to-happiness', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:b41cfdc0-6ac1-48d3-bdad-14274ffa7c6f>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '323', 'url': 'http://www.drleeacademia.com/article/69-the-path-to-happiness', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-150-98-233.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.7330510020256042', 'original_id': 'a16bfb250b4964b3154fe957d73f5aeb29d928842286cc9a55f13aa7953921f7'} |

Jon Elster, "Sour Grapes"
I now move on to the second of Jon Elster’s books that I proposed to discuss in the previous post. Please note that, since I’ve dropped several names there — and since I’ll likely be dropping some more here — at the end of this post you’ll find a list of readings referred to in both.
Jon Elster, Sour Grapes: Studies in the Subversion of Rationality (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1983).
I claimed earlier that Elster’s work has some possibly very damaging implications for economics as a rational science, particularly economics done in the rational choice tradition.
By “rational choice”, I refer to an approach to economic analysis that takes as its methodological starting point the idea that the preferences of agents are to be viewed as rational, even if they seem prima facie irrational to the third party observer. An example might be the approach of Nobel Prize-winning economist Gary Becker to a phenomenon like addiction: it may seem as if the choices of smokers are irrational, but they begin to make more sense if we view them as rational from the point of view of maximizing one’s present preferences. After all, if the choice of smokers to smoke were completely irrational, then why is it that when the price of cigarettes goes up, their consumption goes down? Economically, there is much about the behaviour of addicts that displays characteristics of rational economic choice.
(I would counter that this is correct to a certain extent, but that addictive products display a notable lack of demand elasticity — although demand falls when prices rise, the reaction of demand to price is much less sensitive than it is with, say, pickles or ice cream. If the price of heroin goes up, although a few addicts may kick, many will simply steal more purses to keep up with the rise in price. Few turn to crime to support their taste for expensive ice cream. There are many good reasons not to accept a rational choice theory of addiction. For an excellent critique, see Rogeberg 2004.)
Satisfying Preferences: Whose? Which?
Ulysses and the Sirens very much concerns the difficulty of whose preferences are to be satisfied. We might say that, in utilitarian or rational choice fashion, the preferences of all agents are to be given equal consideration. But Elster complicates this by showing us that each of those agents is composed of an indefinite number of intertemporal agents with possibly conflicting preferences, and with no clear cut indication of which of these selves is to have normative priority.
Sour Grapes takes things to a deeper level. Whereas economics pretends to be a descriptive rather than a prescriptive or normative science, Elster examines the nature of desires to demonstrate that it might not be so easy for economics to avoid normative prescriptions. To be more clear: whereas economics claims to be concerned with finding the best way of satisfying the preferences of the greatest number of people regardless of what those preferences are, Elster shows that economics cannot avoid making evaluative judgments about people’s preferences.
Economists are too apt to take people’s wants (or the ordering of these wants, in the form of preferences) as brute facts, as given. Their task then becomes the technocratically straightforward one of figuring out how best to satisfy the greatest number of them.
By contrast, Elster shows that not all desires are worthy of being satisfied. Now, on the face of it this is nothing new; moral philosophers have been saying as much since the time of Socrates. But Elster is not just concerned with the immoral nature of some desires. No economist in his right mind denies that satisfying the desires of sadists is on all fours with satisfying the desires of people with less perverted tastes. But the economist will try to parse this in terms of utility: they will say that as a matter of (contingent) fact, one satisfied sadist must mean one or more normal people must be made very dissatisfied victims of the sadists, the predictable result of which would be net disutility. That, they’d say, is why the preferences of sadists should not be satisfied. But notice that they are still taken into account.
This explanatory scheme might give economists some rationale for discriminating against the wants of sadists, although not on the grounds that the desires of sadists were wrong or immoral. After all, if it so happened that sadists and masochists were evenly distributed in the population and could somehow be paired up, the economists might have to revise their judgment, and take the preferences of sadists (and masochists) seriously.
Elster’s critique of preference-satisfaction has less to with variations in the moral worthiness of desires, and more to do with the fact that some desires are to be preferred to others in terms of their rationality. Indeed, his analysis implies that rationality is so easily subverted, that we ought not to put too much stock in the satisfaction of preferences at all, at least not unless we are willing to roll up our sleeves and examine the nature of the preferences we propose to satisfy.
We tend to think that preferences have at least some minimal rational ordering. For example, it is comforting to believe that our preferences obey the law of transitivity: If I prefer A to B, and I prefer B to C, then all things considered I must prefer A to C. Elster presents a variety of situations in which people’s preferences are not transitive in this way.
Path-Dependency and Context Dependency.
Often our preferences are path-dependent in that they are dependent on my previous history of choices and desires. In other words, they depend heavily on the temporal order in which choices are presented. Preferences are also context-dependent in that they are responsive to changes in the situational variables in the choice-context. Path-dependency is evident, for example, in what psychologists call “availability bias”, the observed tendency of people to prefer that which is most recently presented to them over that which was presented to them earlier. I may prefer A to B and B to C, but where C is presented to me after A, I might prefer C. So what is my real preference, the one that economists should be trying to figure out how to satisfy?
Here’s a rather cute example illustrating both path-dependency and context-dependency. Let x = a Vermeer painting, y = a Renoir painting, and z = a Monet painting. One each of x, y and z is up for auction. Let’s assume I have a lot of money, I’m not a huge fan of Impressionism, and that I don’t currently own a painting by any of these artists. Because I am rich and the paintings are for sale, the feasible set is {x,y,z}. In this situation, I have the following preference ordering: x > y > z. But, if the context is one in which a week earlier I inherited my uncle’s Monet painting, then it becomes conceivable that my preference ordering could be z > x > y (because I already have the beginnings of a Monet collection), or possibly z > y > x (because in addition to the beginnings of a Monet collection, I also already have the beginnings of an Impressionist collection).
The point is that our desires and preferences are closely tied to our previous experience and life history. For example, it is highly unlikely that I will have a preference for fine wines if no wine at all has ever passed my lips.
If Ulysses and the Sirens demonstrated the importance of the time dimension in human preference, Sour Grapes demonstrates the importance of how preferences are formed. Hence the title of the book, referring to Aesop’s fable of the fox and the grapes, in which the fox pretends not to care for the grapes that he cannot have, by telling himself that the grapes are in any case sour.
Adaptive Preferences.
Elster brings our attention to a phenomenon similar to sour grapes, which he calls adaptive preferences. The latter differs from the former in the fact that where the fox pretends not to like the grapes he cannot have, a person with an adaptive preference actually prefers precisely that which he can have over that which he cannot. His preferences are formed out of his feasible set of choices.
This is not just a phenomenon of settling for second-best, because it’s not something that is necessarily conscious. Nor is it necessarily a bad thing, for in countless cases it is a healthy response. After all, imagine how unbearable life would be if we continually felt discomfort at not having the things we want, given that we simply cannot have most of the things we want. Our minds tend naturally to tailor our desires to our possibilities and that’s probably a good thing. It seems only reasonable that our preferences be limited to some feasible set of options.
But adaptive preferences can also have a more sinister aspect. A slave for example might come to “prefer” the life of a slave and to “love” his master, because in the absence of other options, he settles for what he has. Does this mean that the “preferences” of slaves ought to be respected? Can such preferences serve as a justification of the institution of slavery? Economists have few resources to answer these questions because they are normative/evaluative.
It is part of the economist’s training not to care about the ethical nature of slavery, but only whether as an institution it is efficient. In assessing this efficiency they will presumably do a calculation of how well it satisfies the aggregate preferences of society, and within this aggregate, for the purposes of calculation, the desires of slaves are on all fours with – count for no more or less than – the preferences of masters. Therefore, if the masters are happy, and the slaves are “happy” (in the adaptive preferences sense of the term), then, other things being equal, there is nothing (economically) wrong with slavery. Luckily for society, most economists have historically found slavery to be an inefficient institution.
I should like to presume, dear reader, that your intuitions accord with mine in finding that the economist misses the main point. The preferences of the slaves, being adaptive in the worst way, have been perverted. Slaves tailor their desires to their feasible set, but that feasible set has been artificially and immorally limited by the masters. The adaptive preferences of slaves should not count in the way that normal preferences count (I am intentionally using evaluative terminology like “worst”, “perverted” and “normal” here, because they don’t scare me in the way they seem to scare economists and other social scientists). As Elster puts it, “my suggestion is that we should evaluate the broad rationality of beliefs and desires by looking at the way in which they are shaped” (p. 15). Much later on in the book, he elaborates this point:
“[W]e should not take wants as given, but inquire into their rationality or autonomy. These, in the general case, are properties that cannot be immediately read off the wants themselves…. Rationality in the broad sense depends on the way in which the states are actually formed. Two individuals may be exactly alike in their beliefs and wants, and yet we might assess them differently from the point of view of rationality, judgment and autonomy.” (p. 140)
I fear I have not managed to do full justice to the genius of Elster’s book. Sour Grapes is really a virtuoso performance, so far-reaching are the topics with which it deals with and the sources upon which it draws. I mentioned in the previous post that Elster is an analytical Marxist. But even a Marxist is capable of speaking good sense from time to time. By way of an ending to this post, here are some other propositions Elster defends in Sour Grapes, propositions that Marxists (and indeed all social scientists) must grapple with:
1. There is no reason to suppose that beliefs shaped by a social position tend to serve the interests of the persons in that position (p. 143).
2. There is no reason to suppose that beliefs shaped by a social position tend to serve the interests of the ruling or dominant group (p. 147).
3. There is no reason to suppose that beliefs shaped by interests tend to serve these interests (p. 156).
4. There is no reason to suppose that beliefs which serve certain interests are also to be explained by those interests (p. 163).

Jon Elster, "Ulysses and the Sirens"
Methinks this blog has become a little too obsessed with economics. It was certainly never the intention of The Spectacled Avenger to run an economics blog, but unfortunately that is the channel in which his slender genius hath run of late.
I have decided it’s time to switch gears a bit, but like any habit, breaking this one can be accomplished only gradually. As a first step, I propose to discuss the work of a man who is possibly the living thinker with the greatest influence on my thought. He is the Norwegian philosopher, economist, political theorist, social scientists, and all-around polymath Jon Elster. Anyone who has been reading this blog for any length of time should be surprised that I’m such a fan of Elster’s. He is, after all, an analytical Marxist. On the other hand, he’s my favourite kind of thinker: the adventurous type, not afraid of Big Ideas, and also not afraid to use the insights of authors like Montaigne and Stendhal in the service of economics and social science. He has written on such diverse topics as addiction, the emotions, Alexis de Tocqueville, constitutional design in the former communist countries of Eastern Europe, economics, jazz, film, and the conceptual foundations of the social sciences.
So smitten am I with Elster’s work, that I could not limit myself to discussing just one of his books, so I’m discussing what I consider to be his two best, Ulysses and the Sirens and Sour Grapes. As this will be done in two posts, I’ll begin with the former title first.
I consider discussing Elster as a natural step in the process of weaning myself from my late obsession with economics because his work has implications that sap the very foundations of economics as a rational science. It also represents the vanguard of many more recent – and in my opinion less insightful – books in the burgeoning field of what has come to be called “behavioural economics”, possibly the most sensational (and unsatisfying) of which is Richard Thaler’s and Cass Sunstein’s Nudge (Yale University Press, 2008).
In Ulysses and the Sirens: Studies in Rationality and Irrationality, which is perhaps his most-cited book, Elster critiques the notion of rationality in the economist’s sense, as a faculty that is concerned with maximizing the satisfaction of agents’ present preferences. He contrasts this notion of locally maximizing rationality with what can be called globally maximizing rationality. This latter concept is perhaps best illustrated by those interesting situations where the best “strategy” is irrationality.
An example of this is the sort of Cold War nuclear strategy that Nobel Prize-winning economist Thomas Schelling famously explored: as a nation you make a nuclear threat, but the threat cannot be made credible because your opponent knows that you would be irrational (in the locally maximizing sense) to carry through on the threat. So you put in place mechanisms that effectively take the decision to launch out of your hands, mechanisms that will automatically trigger a launch after a certain point has been reached, and which cannot be overridden. This is the idea behind the “fail-safe” deterrent. The deterrent is globally maximizing (or so it is postulated). There is a gain from the deterrent that can only be achieved by seemingly non-rational means. In sum, if you want people to leave you alone, act crazy. And the best way of getting people to believe that you’re crazy is by actually being crazy. The paradox, of course, is that it is no mean feat to go mad on purpose.
On a more mundane level, "rational irrationality" occurs when you make any kind of inter-temporal threat or promise in which carrying out the threat or promise involves some cost to yourself. Let’s imagine that Alice threatens Bob at time 1 with X at time 3, if Bob doesn’t do Y at time 2. Let’s further assume that there is some cost attached to Alice if she carries out X. If Alice is perfectly rational (in the maximizing sense), and if Bob knows this, then if Bob is also rational he won’t do Y – in other words, Alice’s threat will have no effect. This is because at time 3 Alice will no longer have an incentive to carry out her threat. After all, doing so would now represent a net cost to her. The damage has been done; there’s no point in adding to it by incurring a cost that no longer serves a purpose.
Notice that the same incentive structure applies to promises: Alice promises at time 1 to do X for Bob at time 3 if Bob does Y for her at time 2. Assuming both are rational and that X has some cost to Alice attached, Bob will not rely on Alice’s promise because he knows that at time 3 she’ll have no incentive to hold up her end of the bargain. Once Alice has got what she wants, why would she bother to incur the cost of giving Bob what she promised to give him?
(Of course, we should note that this whole dynamic changes where there is the prospect of repeated interactions between Alice and Bob. We're only contemplating one-off interactions here.)
What kind of a society could we expect if it were impossible to make credible threats and promises? Most market exchanges in the form of contracts with intertemporal performance (which is most if not all contracts) in a large and impersonal society like ours would be impossible. In short, if economic coordination and market exchange are dependent on the making of credible promissory contracts, and on making credible threats for breaches of those contracts, then such economic coordination and market exchange would be impossible if human nature were modeled after the economist’s homo economicus, the rational maximizer. Luckily we’re not perfectly rational. We have the ability to bind ourselves to actions that are not strictly rational from the narrow locally maximizing point of view. By “bind ourselves” I mean to bind our selves. In the example given above, it would be helpful if Alice could somehow bind her later self to carry out the intentions of her earlier self. Such self-binding can be done, broadly speaking, in two ways.
Endogenous self-binding. This relies heavily on the inculcation of moral norms, and on emotional responses to those norms. This can come through upbringing or through the kind of character formation recommended in Stoic philosophy. Either way, it is dependent on appropriate emotional response. (Contrary to popular misconception, the Stoics did not advocate the extirpation of the emotions, but rather their harmonization.) In the example of Alice and Bob, Alice might be motivated to carry through on her promise by wishing to avoid the emotional cost of the guilt or shame she would incur for breaking it.
There is a good reason why emotions play this crucial role. Emotions are largely autonomic, meaning they happen whether or not we think it’s in our interests to have them. In our rationalistic culture we tend to view this as a bad thing, as a weakness in which passion overcomes our better judgment. But in the kinds of cases I’ve been describing, our “better judgment” is not better at all, at least not in the overall global sense. If Alice were red-faced with anger, Bob would have a signal that she is capable of carrying out her threat despite her better judgment. The signal gains its efficacy by virtue of the fact that it can’t easily be faked. There are good functional reasons why such mechanisms have been evolutionarily selected. You see, within a framework of strategic interaction, evolution selects for global maximization. And although some responses can be faked some of the time, evolution has also selected for human beings with an ability to sniff out the fakes.
Exogenous self-binding. This is best illustrated by the example of Elster’s chosen title. In order to be able to hear the song of the Sirens, a sound which drove men mad and made them steer into the rocks, Ulysses had his crewmen put wax in their ears and bind him to the mast of his ship. The crewmen were to have their swords drawn and were to ignore any appeals Ulysses might make to be untied. Rather than draw on internal resources for resisting the call of the Sirens, and assuming that he would be weak under its influence, Ulysses relied on externally imposed constraints.
In the example of Alice and Bob, Alice might be motivated to keep her promise because of the existence of an institution like contract law that attaches heavy penalties to such breaches of trust. Similarly, if I want to quit drinking, it might help if I give the keys to my liquor cabinet to a friend. If I want to quit smoking, I might place a hefty side bet with friends so that I’ll incur a financial penalty if my later self gives in to temptation. Thus, my later self will have an incentive to stay quit. If I need to save money for Christmas presents, I might open a savings account that does not allow me to make withdrawals before December, in the knowledge that I am likely to be tempted to spend the money before then. If I am a nuclear-armed nation, I may have a computer system rigged up to launch missiles upon detection of a credible and impending threat, in the knowledge that my later self might have doubts or lack the guts to press the launch button. The difference between endogenous and exogenous self-binding is that while the former depends on internal resources for binding, the latter depends on what could broadly be called "external technologies", whether in the form of artificial incentives or determinative mechanisms. Another term for such technologies of exogenous self-binding is “precommitment”. They constitute pre-commitment because they effectively determine me on a course of action before the occasion for choice even arises.
One can overemphasize the distinction between endogenous and exogenous self-binding. I may refrain from doing something I am tempted to do because of moral principles that have been internalized (i.e. made endogenous) through some process of exogenous moral training (e.g. reward and punishment structures inculcated from parents).
Elster’s work in this area dovetails with work by others, notably psychologist George Ainslie and philosopher Derek Parfit, on the notion of “multiple selves”. Put (over)simply, the idea here is that the human agent is best conceptualized not as one overarching self who has an ordering of preferences and who chooses between them, but rather as an indefinite number of intertemporal selves. In many of the examples we have been considering, the preferences of earlier selves may be thwarted by later selves that give in to temptation.
In situations like addiction, it is taken for granted that the earlier “pre-craving” self knows what is best for the later “tempted” self and so is in a position to constrain the latter through precommitment devices. But one can also conceive of cases where the later self is in danger from the irrational choices of the earlier selves. Indeed, even with addiction, we can take a broader view in which the earlier rational self binds the later irrational self in the interest of some still-later self.
I must admit my own reservations here about the “multiple selves” view of agency. It seems to me that it is difficult to make sense of these various selves wishing to manipulate each other unless we preserve some notion of unified agency, where these various intertemporal selves somehow retain identification with each other. Why would I now wish to go to such great lengths to “legislate” for my later selves, unless I identify them as me? After all, by the time the occasion comes for a later self to act, the earlier self will no longer exist. There seems to be an incoherence lurking here. Still, the “multiple selves” notion is provocative, with far-reaching implications.
Some of these implications are ethical, rather than merely metaphysical: if I am not me, but am rather a series of intertemporal selves, then it would seem that the relation between successive selves is no different than the relation between simultaneous agents, i.e. between different agents at a given time. If that is the case, what right does my earlier self have to limit the choices of my later selves? It is no different than my claiming the right to limit your choices? This is paternalism at best, tyranny at worst.
(On the other hand, we might view a person in the throes of addiction as exercising precisely such a self-tyranny: sacrificing the interests of later selves to the arbitrary desires of the present self. An analogous kind of tyranny occurs at the aggregate level, when a society sacrifices the interests of future generations through deep or prolonged deficit financing for current consumption.)
I could go on exploring the ethical and metaphysical difficulties of the “multiple selves” approach, but I’ll save it for the post immediately following the next one. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '52', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9528849720954896}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '129443', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:HWZRE35ZFVSU7G3SQMTTENFRP2KEG7KV', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c46da29e-49a0-4406-9e15-7adc7c1dc3aa>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 7, 17, 7, 58, 27), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.5.225', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:HTI7HMX4WR5CHHEUHHPW64VLXABX2Z53', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:84ea0d6b-6392-47dd-9865-74aa2df4bde8>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://spectacledavenger.blogspot.com/2010/08/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:f0c17bf5-2cac-4a22-bd08-a5b1f5eec7d8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '4624', 'url': 'http://spectacledavenger.blogspot.com/2010/08/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-225-182-164.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-30\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July 2018\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.021887362003326416', 'original_id': '0aa4f906c650d5ed29c7fd5abf66db167d05b981c651a881965d9a152b2f5a12'} |

Hey guys,
Does anyone know where to find the protocol for pulling sports scores from the internet? Lots of apps available grab sports scores (think SportsTap/Sportacular on iPhone). I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find the protocol so a Mac app that I am working on can get the latest updates.

I doubt ESPN is going to give real-time score data away for free, especially since they pay for it from a provider, STATS, as does everyone else like Yahoo!, CNN, Comcast, SI, etc. They are probably prohibited from rebroadcasting that data in an open web service even if they wanted to. As duggram says, you'll probably have to resort to some sneaky techniques to get that data, or pay STATS, although I imagine it's not cheap.

Generics in EqualsVerifier, part 1: Overcoming type erasure
8 minute read
This is part 1 of a two-part series. This part deals with overcoming type erasure. In Part 2, we will see what EqualsVerifier can do with this generic type information.
Since version 2.0, EqualsVerifier is aware of generics. For instance, it can determine, at runtime, whether a class’s field is a List<String> or a List<Integer>. However, type erasure says this is impossible! If we call getClass() on a list instance, we’ll get a List.class object, which is unaware of the generic paramter. How does EqualsVerifier do this?
Some background
EqualsVerifier works by creating instances of objects, filling their fields with carefully chosen values, and repeatedly calling equals on them to see if something unexpected comes up. However, type erasure causes problems. Say we have the following class:
class ListContainer {
private final List<String> list;
EqualsVerifier can see that this class has a field list of type List. Versions below 2.0 don’t know anything more than that: they can’t determine that it’s really a List<String>, because the generics get erased by the JVM. To work around this, EqualsVerifier simply instantiates a raw List, puts in a few values of type Object, and hopes nobody notices.
In most cases this works perfectly fine, because in most cases, an equals method will just call list.equals(other.list). List’s equals method then simply calls equals on each of its values and it doesn’t matter what the type of these values is. After all, every Java class has an equals method that you can call.
In a small number of cases, this doesn’t work. For example, Android has a type called SparseArray. It’s a generic type that contains a sequence of values, like an array or a list. However, unlike arrays and lists, it doesn’t implement its own equals method. Calling equals on a SparseArray is like calling == on it: it doesn’t matter if two SparseArrays contain exactly the same elements; if they’re not the same instance, they’re not equal. This means that a class with a SparseArray field, has to ‘unwrap’ it in equals:
public class SparseArrayContainer {
private final SparseArray<String> sparseArray;
// ...
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (!(obj instanceof SparseArrayContainer)) {
return false;
SparseArrayContainer other = (SparseArrayContainer)obj;
for (int i = 0; i < sparseArray.size(); i++) {
String a = sparseArray.get(i);
String b = other.sparseArray.get(i);
if (!a.equals(b)) {
return false;
return true;
Now, we get a ClassCastException in the line that assigns an element of sparseArray to a: a expects a String, but it gets an Object. Oops.
Because the generic type is erased at runtime, there’s no way around this issue. Or is there?
There is!
While it’s true for objects at runtime that their generic type gets erased, there is something we can use. In EqualsVerifier, we’re always inspecting a class and its fields, and it turns out that Java does retain the fully generic type of all fields in a class. You can use reflection to access this information. So, for our SparseArrayContainer, we can do this:
Field f = SparseArrayContainer.class.getDeclaredField("sparseArray");
Type type = f.getGenericType();
if (type instanceof ParameterizedType) {
ParameterizedType pt = (ParameterizedType)type;
Type[] genericTypes = pt.getActualTypeArguments();
The type variable has type java.lang.reflect.Type, which is an interface with several impementations. The most important implementation, and also the easiest, is good old java.lang.Class. However, our sparseArray field is parameterized, so we’ll get an instance of ParameterizedType.
On a ParameterizedType (don’t forget to cast first; java.lang.reflect.Type doesn’t declare a lot of useful methods by itself), we can call a getActualTypeArguments() method, which gives us an array of Type. The elements of this array are instances of java.lang.Class. (As said before, java.lang.Class implements the java.lang.reflect.Type interface). In other words, genericTypes[0].equals(String.class). Yay! We have the generic type we want. The rest is just an exercise of filling in the blanks.
It turns out, there’s a lot of blanks to fill in.
First, we need to be able to pass around our new generic type information, where EqualsVerifier used to just pass around a java.lang.Class. java.lang.reflect.Type has all the information we need, but it’s very unwieldy. Time then to build our own container: TypeTag. It looks something like this:
public final class TypeTag {
private final Class<?> type;
private final List<TypeTag> genericTypes;
public TypeTag(Field field) { ... }
// Getters, equals, hashCode left out for brevity.
In order to construct an instance, we’ll need a java.lang.reflect.Field, because as we said before, we need that to access the generic types. (There are other ways to get them; for example, if we can make a subclass of a type and instantiate that, we can use that to instance to find the generic types. However, sometimes types are final and in those cases, making a subclass is impossible. Using a field is much more reliable.)
It does mean that we can’t get the generic types at the top of the chain, though. Say we have the following class:
public final class Entity<I extends Comparable<I>> {
private final I id;
// Constructor, getters, equals, hashCode left out for brevity.
There is no way to figure out that Entity has a generic type parameter I extends Comparable<I> if we only have an instance of Entity. Fortunately, this problem is not as big as it seems, because in all cases, we only need to know the type parameter when it’s used. And when the type parameter is used, it’s used in a field. And we can get at the type parameters of fields!
However, we’re not done yet. Apart from java.lang.Class and java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType, our java.lang.reflect.Type interface has a bunch more implementations, and we need to consider each one.
Consider once again the Entity class above. When we have a java.lang.reflect.Field instance of its id field, we will get an instance of java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable, which is another implementation of the java.lang.reflect.Type interface. This gives us the name (in this case a String "I") and its bounds (Comparable<I>, wrapped in some other instance of java.lang.reflect.Type). The bounds are important, because we can’t assign a java.lang.Object to id, because that’s not Comparable. Note that type variables can be bound to concrete classes (T extends Object), but also to other type variables (T extends U), which complicates matters. To make things even worse, bounds are often even recursive: T extends Comparable<T>!
And it gets more complicated. Consider the following (not even very contrived) example:
public interface Period { }
public final class Per<T extends Comparable<T>, P extends Period> {
private final P period;
private final T value;
When we evaluate the types of period and value, we’ll have to match them up with Per’s generic parameters. Note that I switched the order around, to emphasize that we can’t simply say that the first field we encounter in the class will match with the first generic parameter, and the second field with the second generic parameter. No, we’ll have to match the field’s type’s name with the generic parameter’s name.
Fortunately, there is one thing we can get from a raw java.lang.Class object: the java.lang.reflect.TypeVariables it was declared with. Per.class.getTypeParameters() returns an array of TypeVariable.
So, if we want to determine the precise type of Per’s value field, we need value’s corresponding java.lang.reflect.Field, and Per’s TypeVariable. We’ll call the Per class value’s enclosing class. We’ll put Per’s TypeVariables in a hash map, keyed on the names of the type variables, so we can more easily match them with the types of the fields.
Other implementations of the Type interface
The next java.lang.reflect.Type implementation we have to consider is the wildcard, which can also have bounds. Fortunately, the wildcard only occurs on fields, not on classes, so it’s a bit easier:
private final List<? extends Point> points;
We can safely substitute a boundless wildcard with java.lang.Object, and a bounded wildcard with the bound itself. In the case of the List<? extends Point> above, we can simply pretend it’s a List<Point>. Note that wildcards, as opposed to TypeVariables, can have upper (? extends SomeType) and lower (? super SomeType) bounds. Fortunately, we can treat them the same in this case.
Finally, there’s the GenericArrayType. Fortunately, that one is pretty straightforward compared to the rest. We’ll not look at it in detail.
What do we have now?
All this effort allows us to determine the complete type of any field, and take from that the information that is relevant to EqualsVerifier. For example, take this class:
public class Container<T extends Comparable<T>> {
private final List<String> a;
private final Map<String, List<Integer>> b;
private final List<T> c;
private final List<?> d;
private final List<? super Class<?>> e;
private final T[] f;
This gives us the following TypeTags for its fields:
TypeTag(List, TypeTag(String))
TypeTag(Map, TypeTag(String), TypeTag(List, TypeTag(Integer)))
TypeTag(List, TypeTag(Comparable))
TypeTag(List, TypeTag(Object))
TypeTag(List, TypeTag(Class))
TypeTag has a factory method that takes a java.lang.reflect.Field and another TypeTag that represents the enclosing type, which we need to resolve TypeVariables like T. Then it determines what kind of java.lang.reflect.Type the field is, and recursively resolves it. You can look at the implementation here.
A caveat
You might have noticed that I haven’t discussed multiple bounds, like T extends Interface1 & Interface2, which are also allowed in Java generics. In all honesty, I only thought of them while researching this article. EqualsVerifier 2.0 has been out for several months by now, so I suppose these multiple bounds aren’t used often enough for people to have run into this. Nevertheless, it’s obviously quite high on my list of future improvements.
We have seen how we can determine the full, generic type of a class’s field. In Part 2, we will see how we can put this information to good use.

Can you get a fair trial in a DUI Case in King County nowadays?
Yet another article has come out casting negative light in DUI cases. This one comes my My Northwest titled, “King County Prosecutor says Washington not serious about drunk driving crimes.” By my account that is 6 articles, or news stories in the past two weeks discussing how DUIs are handled in Washington State, how the penalties are not tough enough, etc.
This has created a very negative light in any DUI case. Regardless if it is a person’s first one, they were not involved in an accident, their alcohol level was barely above the legal limit, and they are not going to get another one. If that is you, unfortunately you’re being lumped in with the two drivers who killed innocent pedestrians, and drivers in the past month here in King County.
If you read my blog then you know that Im a Seattle DUI Lawyer. My job is to represent people accused of DUI. Now I can tell you that 99% of my practice is representing good hardworking professionals who have never been involved in the criminal legal system before. They were not involved in any kind of car accident, for the most part their alcohol levels were not very high, and they have been assessed by an alcohol counselor and found they do not have a problem with alcohol and drugs and this was an isolated incident not likely to be repeated. They are scared and I can tell you with a lot of confidence they will never get in trouble again.
Now you can take this anyway you want but in my opinion they are not the problem. Yes they made a mistake. Yes in some cases they shouldn’t have driven after drinking. But you have to remember it is not illegal to consume alcohol and drive. Otherwise there would be no legal limit. How many people out there have ever consumed an alcoholic drink and then drove. Whether you were at a restaurant and you had a glass of wine, whether you met a fried after work for a beer, or you were at a party and had a single cocktail. If you consume alcohol, then you have done that. I guarantee it. And don’t tell me you haven’t.
Now the only difference between these people and my clients is my clients probably had one or two more drinks. Nothing big, nothing extreme. They simply did not realize how alcohol exits the human body, how they could still be over the legal limit hours after their last drink. In fact before people cast stones, I can tell you I have represented lots of people with alcohol levels below the legal limit. In one case I represented a client who had a .03 alcohol level and she was charged with DUI. That is right that is .03, probably half a glass of white wine, and she was arrested and charged with DUI. So the people that have consumed a drink and then drove you could have been arrested for DUI and the only reason you weren’t was because you were lucky.
So what is the point of this article. Well I have a DUI trial next week. And I have a great fear that my client is going to get denied a fair trial due to all the recent events and negative media surrounding DUIs lately. I hope that is not the case because a fair and impartial jury of our peers is what our entire country is built on. But I fear that members of this jury are not going to hear the facts of this case impartially. They are going to have all the recent events in the back of their mind when deciding my clients fate. And worse off I fear they will wrongly convict him because in their minds they don’t want to be responsible for letting a “drunk driver” off the streets.
So what do you think can an individual get a fair trial in a DUI case with all the recent events in King County? Leave a comment.

Fall…..ah! The weather is changing (hopefully), Football consumes our weekends, the Holidays are upon us… oh and um… it’s also the season of the dreadful… FLU Virus!
Many parents ask the question…should my family get the flu shot?!? The answer to that questions is going to be different based on the person answering. The flu shot is very controversial. Many people have their own opinions and theories on the Vaccine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), less than half of adults (aged 18 years and older) received a flu vaccine in recent years. The flu is a highly contagious virus that affects the respiratory tract. Symptoms for the flu include: chills, fatigue, fever, body aches, dehydration and much more. Flu symptoms can mimic the symptoms of the common cold but is much more serious and in some cases even fatal. The CDC recommends that people of all ages get the flu shot. We have 5 great reasons why everyone should get vaccinated sponsored by Rapid Urgent Care
No Appointment Necessary and Usually Covered Under Insurance
Many places other than Doctors Offices offer the vaccine. From Pharmacies to Urgent Cares such as Rapid Urgent Care, you can walk-in and get your flu shot. Most insurances do cover the flu shot at 100 percent and some may have a small co-pay. Just think how much cheaper that is than TamiFlu. Just make sure you have a picture ID and your insurance card when you do go get your flu shot. It also just takes a few minutes. Time well spent!
You Can’t Get the Flu From the Flu Shot
Working in the Medical Field I hear this myth almost everyday- especially during flu season. The vaccination uses a dead version of the virus. However, FluMist, the nasal spray flu vaccine, does contain a live virus. Always opt out of the mist, this is usually just given to children. If you do happen to get the flu after a vaccine it is usually due to the fact that you contracted the virus while your body was developing antibodies to the vaccine. The flu shot can take up to two weeks to start working.
It Can Save Your Life
Do we even have to elaborate?!? Influenza is an extremely dangerous illness. Like mentioned above some people think their symptoms are just the common cold. In most cases the flu can only be diagnosed by a swab (that is VERY uncomfortable). After being diagnosed positive for the flu the patient has to immediately start taking an antiviral medication, TamiFlu. This medication is very expensive and sometimes very hard to find. Some cases of the flu do result in hospitalization and even can be fatal in serious cases. Getting a flu shot does not protect you 100 percent from the flu, but it does give you some sort of protection against the strains of the flu that we will come in contact with that year.
Save Those Sick Days
According to Flu.gov, The flu accounts for 111 million lost workdays and $7 billion in lost productivity and sick days annually. This is A LOT! After a patient is diagnosed with the flu they will be ordered to stay home in bed or even hospitalized. The flu is highly contagious and spread very easily from person to person. This is why we have flu epidemics. So save those sick days for relaxing on the beach with a cocktail!
Sooner, Not Later…
Flu season can start as early as October and can last until March. There is no way to really tell when or if the flu season will be a bad one or not until it hits. Typically the best time to get a flu shot is in the months of October and November. Like mentioned previously it takes about two weeks for your body to build antibodies to the vaccine, that is why the CDC suggests that the vaccine should be received before the flu viruses occur. The vaccine can also run out or be hard to find when we enter the winter months. Don’t wait… vaccinate!

Hindu_Datura,_Indian_Apple,_Jimson_Weed,_Sacred_Datura,_Thorn_Apple_(Datura_inoxia)What does it mean when we talk about vibrational healing? How do things like flower essences and sound WORK anyway?
Good questions! We are all vibrating at different levels, in fact everything is vibrating and it is what gives us substance essentially.
I believe that when we have disturbances on the spiritual, emotional or mental levels it sends our physical vibration out of whack so to speak. It may take a long time to happen, we may live with a lot of stress or abuse for many, many years before illness manifests physically but eventually it does.
Flower Essences are remedies that are made from the vibration or essence of the flower. If you observe a flower or plant growing in it’s natural habitat, it will give you clues as to what its properties might be. In the 1930’s Dr. Edward Bach began to identify the emotional imbalances that he came to see as the real causes of physical illness. He worked with thirty-eight healing remedies whereby each flower was found to embody the positive or harmonizing force for a negative emotional state.
To me, a good flower essence blend is much like a good piece of music. Each remedy works in harmony with the others creating a powerful overall effect of healing.
So the essences can help us heal and bring into balance the emotional states that are keeping us stuck or creating problems in different area’s of our lives even if it has not manifested as physical yet.
Sound or chanting works much the same way, in that the principle vowel sounds resonate or vibrate a particular energy. A (ah) for instance is the sound for Purification. We can use sound to create a resonance of health in our bodies.
It is a beautiful thing really to be able to work with these tools and help people get real results using them. Of course we all have to assist the process by looking at what might come up and allowing the essences or the sounds to support us in our healing.
If you are curious, or would like to find out how vibrational healing might help you, contact me via email or phone to set up a free discovery session.
In the meantime, enjoy the beauty of summer!

What's In A Name
Recently, as you may have read, about 14,000 Democratic voters in central Orange County who happen to have last names like mine received a rather unfriendly letter. Unsurprisingly, officials investigated its source and are now calling for Rep. Loretta Sanchez's opponent, Tan D. Nguyen, to drop out of his [doomed] House bid. But as I read coverage of this developing story, I keep stumbling over the same part:
State and federal officials were investigating the letter, which was written in Spanish and mailed to an estimated 14,000 Democratic voters in central Orange County. It warns, "You are advised that if your residence in this country is illegal or you are an immigrant, voting in a federal election is a crime that could result in jail time."
Immigrants who are adult naturalized citizens are eligible to vote.
[Emphasis added.] As the article says, clearly, "immigrants" are by definition naturalized citizens who would then be eligible to register and to cast votes.
The letter's particularly sinister effect, of course, is to imply that even immigrants - those here legally and eligible to vote (if they've registered, etc) - are ineligible in the same way as those here illegally would be ineligible. As the article points out, a lot of effort goes into bringing immigrants into the political process and encouraging them to vote - so this kind letter draws its potential power right from the natural confusion facing some immigrants who are still navigating the rights and benefits of citizenship.
But here's the thing. If we hadn't, in our effort to scrub clean our language, swapped illegal immigrant for the un-PC illegal aliens moniker, would this letter have been as effective?
There's a lot of intra-community fighting right now, a lot of presumptions and misperceptions, about what The Latino Voter thinks and wants. There's a tendency as well to lump all Hispanics/Latinos/Mexican/Mexican Americans/pick this week's term (I don't even know what to call myself half the time) into one "pro-immigration" category that then gets used to paint us as soft-on-border-security and hippie-loving, knee-jerk lefty freaks.
Except that's wrong.
There's a world of difference between immigrants and those here illegally. That difference absolutely is not accurately conveyed right now with the terms immigration and illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are not immigrants. They are here illegally.
So why aren't we calling it like it is? At one time, the thinking must have gone that softening "illegal alien" to "illegal immigrant" would humanize immigration policy and the view on those here illegally. Except I think we liberal types might have dug our own graves on that one. Now, no one understands what "immigrant" actually means - and the hundreds of thousands of people who have immigrated to this country have a lot more unnecessary explaining to do and a lot more of other people's baggage to work around.
Of course, we'll never really reform anything language-wise. This is why it's best to avoid rebranding our language. We can't control it too long and the natural consequence is, well, the Bush Administration which has seldom used a word correctly in nearly 6 years.
A side note of interest: this Nguyen guy is also an immigrant - one who used to be a Democrat, at that.

A much better copy of the letter, together with a very passable translation, is posted at
Note that the first paragraph specifically urges citizens to vote:
"If you are a U.S. Citizen, I urge you to participate in the democratic process of voting."
By necessary elimination, the rest of the letter speaks to those who are NOT citizens, i.e., illegal immigrants and legal emigrants from Latin America who have not been naturalized. Neither group is allowed to vote.
NOTE 1: In Spanish, the letter does not use the word "immigrant", but "emigrant" - meaning emigrant FROM Mexico and other countries. In other words, people who still define themselves by reference to the country they left behind to live in the U.S.
NOTE 2: Unlike native-born Americans, naturalized immigrants are required to pass a citizenship test.
Bottom line: the letter will not have deterred a single citizen from voting. It is core free speech, whoever sent it out, and certainly does not qualify as a threat.
Illegal voting is a major issue in Orange County. A congressional investigation found:
After a careful comparison between the Orange County voter registration files and INS databases the Task Force was able to clearly and convincingly document that 624 persons had illegally registered and thus were not eligible to cast ballots in the November 1996 election.60

Thank you, Captain. If I had any concerns about people not getting my arguments about the unnatural twisting of language, you've laid them all to rest.
The immigrant/emigrant distinction here is meaningless - I also don't think you know the technical difference between the two anyway.
I'm not sure what your point about the citizenship test is with regards to this letter.
Illegal voting is only a lightening rod issue in Orange County because some have found it a very successful tool for inciting fear and hate. You think these illegal voters are targeting the OC? Just HAVE to mess with the otherwise friendly enclave?
I do not fear for the future of our republic, nor the future of Orange County.
That letter meant to do EXACTLY what people think it meant to do - it wasn't some innocent go-vote message. It was wrong.

Thank you for your response.
I tried not to go into too much detail in the original post to avoid overloading an already overlong post.
I do not believe (naturally) that this is a case of "twisting language". (Like you, I deal with such matters frequently as an attorney.)
The first paragraph of the letter clearly addresses any concerns that naturalized immigrants might be deterred.
This is where the citizenship test comes in - they are REQUIRED to know that they are (now) citizens, and allowed to vote.
The use of the term "emigrant" is relevant because it defines individuals by reference to the country they left. Moreover, as a matter of actual SPANISH usage in the U.S., "emigrado" does NOT include naturalized U.S. citizens. It refers only to (more recent) emigrants from Latin America.
Directly equating the Spanish term "emigrado" with the English word "immigrant" does not tell us how a reasonable NATURALIZED immigrant would interpret the letter as a whole.
CONCLUSION: A reasonable NATURALIZED immigrant could not possibly have been deterred from voting based on this letter.
None of this excuses Tan Nguyen's flip-flopping about responsibility for the mailing, but such electioneering shenanigans (and hand-wringing about them) have been standard operating procedure since the beginning of the Republic.
Captain Nemo.
By the way - may I ask if you read Spanish? If so, would you say the overall impact has been FAIRLY reported in media reports? I note the mainstream media NEVER referred to the first paragraph.

"CONCLUSION: A reasonable NATURALIZED immigrant could not possibly have been deterred from voting based on this letter."
Spoken like an attorney.
I reject your conclusion.
I can read Spanish, however I am not nearly fluent enough to comment on the nuances of a particular word. Even if I take your interpretation of the word "emigrado" at face value, I would STILL have a difficult time applying your reasoning.
Perhaps you're too many leagues under the sea and should come up for some air.
cd said...
By the way, Cappy, if the letter wasn't intended to deter a rightful voter from voting, then what was the intent?
Just a friendly public service announcement for people with Hispanic surnames *in case* they happen to be illegal?
You know, most people who ended up here illegally know they ended up here illegally and also know that because they wer here illegally, they cannot vote.
Are there any reports on the number of American citizens who are not registered to vote who attempt to or do vote?
Back to the database question: what's the most effective way to construct a list to deliver this non-deterrent message? All Hispanic surnames? Hispanic and Asian? What other names can you identify as being other-than-presumably-legal?
Anonymous said...
The letter was presumably intended to scare off non-citizens who had illegally registered as voters. This is a serious issue in Orange County.
A Congressional investigation found that a significant number of illegal votes were cast by non-citizens in the 1996 election that first put Loretta Sanchez in office:
Full report at:
As regards the database - news reports suggest the letter was sent to registered voters with Hispanic surnames and a non-U.S. place of birth. This voter information is made available to anyone interested in convenient electronic by the Registrars of Voters etc.
The U.S. Census maintains a list of Hispanic surnames. Having a Hispanic surname is the Census definition of being "Hispanic". Presumably this means that Vicente Fox is not Hispanic.
Perhaps Captain Nemo's nose has become over-sensitive over years going to sea, but isn't there a whiff of apartheid in the air where the government pidgeon-holes people as "Hispanic" (not including Brazilians and Portuguese), "black non-Hispanic", "Asian-Pacific Islander", etc.? Wasn't apartheid supposed to have ended with the white regime in South Africa?
cd said...
Even IF there were that many votes cast illegally (and noting that no one has presented evidence into an investigation of the number non-Hispanic illegal voters who might've participated), we don't know that those alleged 624 "illegally registered" people CAST ballots, nor do we know for whom they cast ballots and either way - 624 was less than the margin of victory in the district in 1996. Granted, it was a small margin, but still - Bob Dornan, craziest Republican in the west, was going to go down.
Lastly - rumors of Hispanic bloc voting can be greatly exaggerated.

If they were soooooo sure of the soundness of their legal position, why in God's name then, were they so hell-bent on hiding the identity of the author of the letter and using without permission (if we believe Coe) the names of several anti-immigration/immigrant/illegal immigrant organizations?
If you really believe that the letter was some good intentioned effort to preseve the democratic process, you lie.....the whole manner that the letter was produced and sent can only be fairly interepreted as an effort to suppress and intimidate a certain part of the Latino vote.
I am so sick of the excuses for this type of throwback good-ole voter intimidation.

CCTV shows man in a blue hoodi
CCTV shows man in a blue hoodie spoke to missing ABC worker Jill Meagher moments before she disappeared
Police believe he could hold the key to the probe into finding the missing ABC radio worker, who disappeared just minutes from her home in Melbourne’s inner city suburb of Brunswick early on Saturday.
Victoria Police released several minutes of footage today, in which the man can be seen walking in front of the shop Duchess Boutique, between 1.39am and 1.43am Saturday.
Det Insp Potter said: was a casual conversation .
Insp Potter said Mr Meagher was not being treated as a suspect and police do not have a suspect at this stage.
He also said police were “looking more and more” at abduction as a possibility.
Police also believe Mr Meagher was at home when the footage was taken and that Ms Meagher did not come home.
doesn arrive home, no. reiterated that police did still not know what had happened to Ms Meagher after the footage was taken.
Speaking at a media conference this afternoon, lead investigator Homicide Squad Det Insp John Potter said the footage was released in a bid to solve Ms Meagher’s disappearance.

Luke 15:11-32
In her book, The Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver writes: “I could never work out whether we were to view religion as a life insurance policy or a life sentence. I can understand a wrathful God who'd dangle us from a hook, and I can understand a tender, unprejudiced Jesus, but I could never imagine the two of them in the same house. You wind up walking on eggshells, wondering which one is home at the moment.”
What is God like? Is God a “he,” a “she” or an “it?” What is God like? That's an important question that deserves a good answer. Yet, a good answer is difficult. Perhaps that's the reason for today's Gospel story: to give us a more accurate image of God, since when we talk about God we have to use images. But please remember the reality of God is far beyond our images, far beyond the human mind to comprehend!
Today's Gospel recalls the story of the “prodigal son.” I looked up the word “prodigal” in Webster's New World Dictionary and found “prodigal” has two meanings. One meaning is recklessly wasteful. The second definition is: extremely generous. Amazing, isn't it, that one word has two very different meanings! We often call this story of Jesus the story of the prodigal son, but we could more accurately call it the story of the prodigal father. Each is prodigal in a different way. The story is about this father who has two not very likable sons. The younger son would like his father to die so he can get his hands on his inheritance quickly. But to his misfortune the father is still in good health, so this pushy son demands his inheritance on the spot – a most unusual occurrence among Jewish people. He gets the inheritance money, squanders it with a dissolute life and then, realizing his mistake, comes home, smelling like a pig pen.
So what does the father do? He sees his son coming from afar because he's been watching and waiting for him every day. He runs out to meet him, embraces him and throws him a great welcome home party. Not a single wag of the finger! Not a single “shame on you!” Dad is just happy to have son back, and glad there's still time for him to get his life together. The other son? You know the type: plays by the rules, dots the “i”s, crosses the “t”s, but has little heart, little compassion. When Pig Pen brother comes home, the older brother pouts and refuses to join the family celebration. So what does dad do? Again, no wagging finger, no “shame on you!” Just these few words: “You are always in my heart. Everything I have is yours, dear son!”
Perhaps the father might add, “You spend so much time in the cold and dark of life. Here now, take my hand, let's go in together and enjoy the feast. Your brother was dead, and now he is alive. He was lost and now he's found.”
That's the image of God that Jesus wants us to have. It's what God is like: compassionate, patient, willing to wait for us, never looking back, always ready to embrace, always reaching out to us tired, bedraggled sinners and inviting us to get out of the cold and come in to the warmth of love and forgiveness.
The prodigal son was recklessly wasteful, but had a change of heart. The prodigal father personified extreme generosity! That's who God is, that's what God is like! That's what God asks us to be for each other: a people of prodigal generosity, always reaching out, always ready to forgive, to embrace the lonely, the lost, those left out in the cold. May God help us share this prodigal love for one another! AMEN!

What Liberals Really Believe (But Dare Not Campaign On)
. . . at least according to the staff at Slate, which includes one supposed 'conservative'. These staffers hope that, once Obama is elected, the Dems will no longer have to hide their true views. Here is a selection of what Dems hope they can say out loud once the Messiah is properly annointed (the italics are not mine):
I think Karl Marx had some valuable insights into capitalist economies!
Saving the boulder darter was worth a few thousand jobs!
Let's teach evolution in Sunday school!
Higher gas prices are good because they make everybody bike and take public transit like they should!
America's official languages should be English and Spanish!
Big-city values are better than small-town values!
We're undertaxed. Look at Europe!
Let's bring back the era of big government.
The problem with public schools is private schools!
You can see why so many liberals and Democrats keep these views to themselves.
P.S. Isn't it an embarassing contrast to the Republicans, who proudly and openly assert their values because they know the majority of America shares them? Who proudly call themselves 'conservative' instead of hiding behind some label or euphemism (progressive, independent, etc.)?
Who don't pretend to be something they are not?

iPhone Upgrade Is So Money - NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
iPhone Upgrade Is So Money
Latest software means more games for iPhone
Under the Tucson Sun
Quick, get your allowance! More games are coming for the iPhone.
iPhone addicts are going crazy about the latest version of Apple's software for the smartphone, expected by midday Wednesday.
One even coded a website that watches Apple's servers to see when the software package, called iPhone OS 3.0, is available to download. OS 3.0 will work on all iPhones, not just the upcoming 3G S model, which goes on sale Friday.
Why the wild anticipation? Games, games, games.
Users of OS 3.0 can play games against each other head-to-head over short-range Bluetooth wireless connections. If you see another iPhone owner, you can now challenge them to a digital duel on the spot.
But the most exciting feature -- chiefly for game developers -- is the ability to charge people not just to buy games but to buy new levels, mods, and in-game items on the go. At Apple's recent World Wide Developers Conference, reps from video game maker Electronics Arts showed off the ability to buy virtual clothes and furniture in the iPhone version of The Sims, its people simulator.
"Mods," short for modifications, are big sellers for PC games, customizing an already purchased game to give it a new look and feel.
The fact that developers can now sell mods and other add-ons means they'll have more incentive to develop games for the iPhone. That means potentially a lot more fun on the go. And a hole in your wallet, right next to your iPhone. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9234607815742492}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '81514', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:KXOW3FHHRU5VX7ZXMGP4D3AUVNS7S7WP', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:35330131-71f8-4f2d-b629-9a7cbbb38eac>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 3, 53, 12), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.117.39.63', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:KCYB6VLZYT52LW3OSFKOF4RHTQB7HNBE', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:10d6f8f1-3254-4565-a0a8-d1589be71ef8>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.nbcdfw.com/the-scene/shopping/The-iPhone-Gets-Its-Game-On.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:53a5f168-52c2-416a-bf15-74f28109966b>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '268', 'url': 'https://www.nbcdfw.com/the-scene/shopping/The-iPhone-Gets-Its-Game-On.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-81-203-254.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.025545120239257812', 'original_id': '433c1c17f0e268d9a9492796cbdaae2b4314f398b9360689c8049580331273cf'} |
Mussina in command
Orioles: The staff's ace shows his usual pinpoint control whether he's talking about his contract status, an elusive 20-win season or his relationship with any number of pitching coaches.
FORT LAUDERDALE — FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- It's another "red light" day in Mike Mussina's Neighborhood, meaning that if there's been progress in his talks about a contract extension for the Orioles' most dominant pitcher of the past decade, it hasn't reached his ears.
And that's just fine with Mussina.
"I've got all day, but the clock's running," he says, answering an interview request while dropping an obvious double entendre.
In the past five years, Mussina has more wins than Kevin Brown, a lower ERA than Andy Pettitte, more innings pitched than Randy Johnson, more shutouts than Curt Schilling and more complete games than David Cone, Roger Clemens or John Smoltz. What he doesn't have is a 20-win season, a World Series ring or a market-value contract -- say, $84 million over six years.
Mussina says he couldn't care less about 20 wins. His 18 wins last season were enough to make him runner-up to Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez, the only active pitcher with a superior career winning percentage to Mussina's .673. The ring? We'll have to wait and see. The Orioles will first have to find a starter other than Mussina who can win a game this April, something they couldn't do until last April 30.
But whether Orioles officials admit it or not, Mussina's contract status represents the centerpiece for the franchise's future. Cal Ripken turns 40 in August. There might be an entirely new infield next season. And the Orioles now know the 23 teams to which B. J. Surhoff can be traded.
"They've got a lot of decisions to make," says Mussina. "What about Bordy [shortstop Mike Bordick], C. J. [catcher Charles Johnson]? What's Cal going to do? There's a lot to digest."
At 31, Mussina asks tough questions befitting the self-assured stereotype of a Stanford alum. His humor is wry, biting, even sarcastic, an acquired but satisfying taste to those familiar with him but sometimes off-putting and intimidating to those merely passing through. His insight can burn. His curt media performance during the 1997 American League Championship Series remains almost as legendary as his scintillating on-field performance against the Cleveland Indians.
League officials begged Mussina to be more accommodating. Given what he considered a verbal backhand to his question, one writer said, "I hope you tear your rotator cuff to shreds."
No worry. Mussina's arm is fine. Meanwhile, his comfort zone has expanded, at least with local media. This year is going to be fun, he insists, if for no other reason than it can't be as miserable as last.
Following the dismissal of pitching coach Bruce Kison, Mussina perceives a more pitcher-friendly tutor in Sammy Ellis.
But the Orioles' rotation has long been known as a tough bunch. They spit out pitching coaches like sunflower seeds, even in good times, and make no apologies for it.
Scott Erickson was asked during the 1996 ALCS his thoughts on pitching coach Pat Dobson, whom he and Mussina had battled throughout the season.
"Next question," replied Erickson.
Mussina does not consider himself an insurrectionist. Like other pitching elites, he most appreciates being left alone unless he senses a problem.
"If I believe I need to make an adjustment, I'll make it. If I need to change something, I'll change it," he says. "I find it difficult in any situation to have someone jump in and say, `Your way's not right. My way's better.' I'm certainly more skeptical if that's their initial approach. Four or five years ago, I probably would have listened if somebody had said, `You'll be a better pitcher if you do this,' instead of [replying], `This is the way I pitch.' "
As Orioles pitching coach in 1995 and 1998, the more laid-back Mike Flanagan enjoyed a solid relationship with his rotation, especially Mussina. Both are cerebral men just as comfortable discussing modern literature as a circle changeup. Flanagan isn't ashamed to say he has learned from Mussina just as Mussina still feels comfortable approaching Flanagan.
Flanagan says Mussina "knows himself extremely well" and is the "antithesis of high-maintenance."
Ellis has already made the savvy move of seeking his veterans' input while devising his spring training program.
"We're not here to fight with these guys," was how Ellis put it during camp's formative days.
Hardened by history
Recent history has hardened Mussina professionally. He has seen seven pitching coaches come and go in the past seven years. He has developed an additional two pitches but also been disabled the past two seasons by line drives that ripped open his forehead and tattooed his pitching shoulder.

1. What is the difference between a two tine butter pick and an olive fork?
2. Funny you should ask because I just added an olive fork to my collection in Hamilton by Alvin and the only difference between it and a two tine butter pick is that the tips of the tines have very small spears on them. Otherwise they look very much alike. So many pieces look alike, especially when sizes are not consistent between manufacturers. For example I have an ice cream spoon in Old Baronial that is a good 1.5 inches longer than the same piece in Majestic by Alvin, and a third in Old English by Towle that falls somewhere in between. But if they were all the same, it would not be as interesting would it? | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '183', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9754050970077516}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '479461', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:MTOPWTANS52XJ7WOQI4GDQO4KHTE36Q6', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:0cbd57a6-f090-4df1-85f0-7a9a1de80336>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 7, 17, 9, 30, 50), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.7.225', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:ENS46ATWPNSNAMDMKU3B7JH2JMAPNTE5', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:86f8b81d-fac8-4252-8eed-8731009795c1>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://strangeandpeculiarsilver.blogspot.com/2011/02/two-tine-butter-picks.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:3ef4fa97-8aab-403e-9919-48a85d047bcf>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '358', 'url': 'http://strangeandpeculiarsilver.blogspot.com/2011/02/two-tine-butter-picks.html', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-203-174-190.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-30\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July 2018\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.018997013568878174', 'original_id': '565c6375e8490052b01d0d6e2103b5d5a60847ae9aff6ad169f47635b5d6be15'} |
Why are my pets not on the map?
Pip has many ways to maximize its battery life. One of these is to keep the GPS off unless it’s absolutely necessary. So, if your pet is in a “safe location”, near the base station or any paired phone, the GPS will stay off.
If you want to test the GPS, you can take turn off bluetooth on your phone and take your pet for a walk well beyond base station range. When you get out of range, you should see an alert and then you can tap on the map icon to see your pet’s location as a red dot on the map.
Here is a brief video detailing how the map feature works:

Knowing Keratoconus - How to Treat It
Knowing Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a disorder of the eye that can progressively worsen if not treated on time. The disorder causes structural changes in the eye, causing the shape of the eye to turn cone-like, instead of the usual curvaceous shape. The disorder of the eye can over time result in distorted vision, heightened sensitivity to light and occurrence of multiple images.
Though a non-inflammatory eye condition, Keratoconus thins the cornea and causes significant distortion of vision. It is a degenerative disorder, the progression of which is generally unpredictable. The condition may either stop all of a sudden, at a mild stage, or continue for a long period of time and grow severe even.
Occurrence of Keratoconus:
The actual reasons behind the occurrence of the disorder are not exactly known. However, Keratoconus is not a common disease, but not rare at the same time. It is known to affect about 1 in about 2000 people. The eye condition is more common among youngsters, mostly adolescents and is found all over the world. It is also found to be not limited to any specific conditions or follow a particular geographic or cultural pattern. Keratoconus is also found be largely bilateral, which means affecting both the eyes simultaneously instead of just one.
Treatment Options:
The treatment options for the eye condition vary from corrective contact lenses to surgical procedures in complicated cases. For the most part, contact lenses that are designed to push the cornea back into its original shape have been found to be highly effective in treating the condition.
• Contact lenses: Spectacles or soft contact lenses can do the job in mild cases. Procedures such as wearing corrective lenses, known as rigid, gas-permeable (RGP) lenses are often suggested by practitioners. Hybrid lenses that can compress the protrusion of the cornea while providing improved vision on par with RGP lenses are very effective in treating the condition.
• Cross-linking: An effective non-invasive procedure, cross-linking is aimed at strengthening the weak corneal structure by enhancing collagen cross-linking, the ‘anchors’ inside the cornea. This procedure prevents the cornea from bulging out.
• Corneal transplant: Widely considered to be the last option, a transplant becomes inevitable when the cornea thins to a dangerous level, and cannot be treated by the above methods. Corneal transplant may sound difficult, but advanced technology usually warrants a safe procedure, which helps in restoring full vision. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9343708157539368}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '68713', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:OIEDPCGTHTQPX4F6HDJWTC2BAPV5XGPF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:b14f8bc5-28e0-4bd1-a9d2-f71301a6a8f4>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 14, 13, 34, 42), 'WARC-IP-Address': '52.221.102.172', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:V2U3GR7HHH7WBJUL4BSTGE7DQNQGSLTK', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c0331471-d0c8-435e-82af-8bbccbb02db3>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.sehat.com/knowing-keratoconus-how-to-treat-it', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:243f14c9-7606-4dcc-b8ac-6d560a7c5a47>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '399', 'url': 'https://www.sehat.com/knowing-keratoconus-how-to-treat-it', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-152-235-249.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.08184295892715454', 'original_id': '27d2bb70f4885935dfcc5fb7cc95ebd2f01412409c29bd450c245dfdff057d60'} |
The La Junta villagers were part of a vast social and economic network spread across northwestern Coahuila, southern New Mexico and far western Texas known as the "Casas Grandes interaction sphere." Lying some 200 miles west-northwest of La Junta, the prehispanic city of Casas Grandes or Paquimé was the region's dominate center of power, population, and cultural sophistication between A.D. 1200-1450. Adapted from Schaafsma and Riley 1999, Figure 1.

BuildBrighton RFID door system - ready to go live!
It was touch and go for a while at the last BuildBrighton meet-up. The ethernet module was proving most disagreeable - sometimes it worked, sometimes not. Sometimes it seemed like the server wasn't listening, sometimes the response came back almost instantly.
So to just get a serial-to-ethernet (and back again) interface working, we threw an Arduino Mini Pro onto a board and loaded in the UIPEthernet library. Everything was screaming "nooooo! Learn to do it properly" but we just needed some results - and quickly. So Arduino it was.
Even using a library, the response was intermittent, until Steve discovered a single line of code that seemed to fix things: Ethernet.maintain() is a function call that makes ethernet connections much more robust; and suddenly our project worked first time, every time.
Here's a quick video of it working:
The video shows the members website where keyfob IDs can be assigned to members, and credentials set (who can open the door, who can use the CNC etc.)
When a key is presented to the reader, it seamlessly queries the website and pulls down the latest credentials for the keyfob. The video also shows that keys can be revoked by unticking the "is a valid key" box - when the updated keyfob is presented to the reader, the hardware shows a message "not valid" (and refuses to activate the relay which activates the door). In the same manner, we can easily activate new keyfobs, and add "permissions" to different users, all through the web-interface.
Having proven that the system works end-to-end, we just need to package the circuit up so that it can be put into a suitable enclosure and mounted outside the main BuildBrighton door. We've already had a lot of interest in the new door entry system, with quite a few members being given their own keyfobs, ready for when the system goes live. With a bit of luck, it'll be some time tomorrow evening! | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9495293498039246}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '100964', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:XB3ZBPX2A2YLWUJQK3NY2TOS5BJISXCX', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:bd62dfbb-fb23-458b-8ecc-acb5d7e029f4>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 11, 21, 16, 5, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.3.33', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:RVZZCFEVHZ6D6L223QX3FTMM5Z3UQQBC', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:2358a575-a848-4dec-85d7-68db54767a8e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://nerdclub-uk.blogspot.com/2014/03/buildbrighton-rfid-door-system-ready-to.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:dca06ce7-58fb-4c6d-9443-967d20155bf7>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '327', 'url': 'http://nerdclub-uk.blogspot.com/2014/03/buildbrighton-rfid-door-system-ready-to.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-47\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-229-80-62.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.07884424924850464', 'original_id': '9c536eee4680d90dd1b880a52b8b0680ac2e5a811213f2bb3db1a3632abae380'} |
• Sundowners, The - 1950
The Sundowners, starring Robert Preston, Robert Sterling, and John Drew Barrymore, is a western film released in 1950 portraying three brothers in a feud with neighboring ranchers. The film details the conflict with the ranchers as well as the conflict between the Cloud brothers on how to handle the situation. The film explores one brother’s fight for what he believes in and the unscrupulous means in which he uses to get his way. Unfortunately, his actions end up influencing the youngest brother. The third brother sees how the youngest is turning out and intervenes by trying to stop the other brother. The film tends to be less reliant on action than other traditional westerns, but makes up for it in many ways including well written dialog and superb delivery. The film was shot on location in Texas, and the scenery certainly adds to the likeability of the film.

Oral administration of insulin basically comprises drugs, insulin, and oral medication procedures. Oral administration of drugs has substantially improved the quality of life of diabetes patients, especially those administered with insulin. Oral route has many advantages compared to the other routes of insulin delivery; such as higher patient agreement, quick hepatic insulinization, and prevention of peripheral hyperinsulinemia. However, possible adverse effects of oral administration are; hypoglycaemia and weight gain.
Oral delivery of insulin remains a challenge and emerging researches are underway as scientists attempt to improve them consistently. Challenges faced in the formation of oral insulin are:
1. Degradation of insulin by proteolytic enzymes in the stomach
2. Making the insulin accessible to the liver and
3. Restricted absorption of insulin across the intestinal epithelium.
Protein encapsulation into nanoparticles is one emerging oral insulin variety of medication as it promotes insulin para-cellular or transcellular transport across the intestinal mucosa. Clinical tests indicated positive results of patients undertaking oral insulin. Major pharmaceutical companies are nowadays involved in the development of oral insulin. They are investing exponentially in oral insulin research. Thus, oral insulin is not a myth but a reality which will see more of in the upcoming years. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9080169796943665}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '111808', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:L2FKBYD2HVMQG6NNIOX7NBQQGJEMENUS', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:c0a8e923-45c0-43a1-9c55-13e7571ec06e>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 14, 10, 34, 31), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.0.48.67', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:7S52ZT6SRBY72C7CJKFY6ME7T4NH5SHP', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:c7d11a10-f6e4-4745-b055-3ea11a3b2d08>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.netmeds.com/health-library/post/oral-insulin-myth-or-reality/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:ddabfe68-3ee6-4fa2-8eef-3b0648f4d263>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '195', 'url': 'https://www.netmeds.com/health-library/post/oral-insulin-myth-or-reality/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-165-185-158.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.3439715504646301', 'original_id': '927ee3da0e2a1be2fb8f1430043d3e8deec1fe20b86364380c17f1c8ab992806'} |

Proceed With Caution: Mississippi-ish Pot Roast
I've been hearing a lot lately about a pot roast recipe that has "taken the internet by storm". You've probably heard about it too, and maybe like me you haven't tried it because, well, because it just doesn't sound like something that would take the internet by storm in these enlightened times.
The ingredients are something that you find in one of those community cookbooks. Lots of sodium and a bunch of dried stuff, with the stars of the show being a pretty cheap cut of beef and a handful of super vinegary salad bar peppers. Doesn't sound like something that you would find outside of your grandparents' 1970s dinner table does it?
OK, so I got a wild hair yesterday, and with nothing better on the suppertime calendar, I bought the stuff that I remembered seeing in the recipes for this dish. Why I didn't just check the recipe on my phone, I do not know, but I didn't. I guess at my age, this is what is called living on the edge.
So I got home with my bag of groceries, checked the recipes on the internet and realized that I didn't have any dried au jus gravy mix. Refusing to go back to the store for a mix, I improvised. I crushed a few bouillon cubes, added a couple of dashes of garlic and onion powders, and very thinly sliced some yellow onion (because I think everything is better with onions).
I added the rest of the ingredients, threw it all in my slow cooker and let 'er rip for about 3 hours on high. The result? A pretty darned good pot roast. A surprisingly good pot roast in fact. It was just a little bit spicy with a savory sauce that was really perfectly seasoned. Color me surprised!
Now, before some troll pops up and leaves a comment about me killing my family with high sodium and preservatives (like has happened before), I must warn you all. Don't eat this stuff every night. Serve with healthy sides. Use these ingredients with caution. Thoroughly enjoy every delicious bite!
Mississippi-ish Pot Roast
My recipe here is a bit different from the original, but the credit still belongs to Mississippi mom, Robin Chapman. As the story goes, she adapted a recipe that she got from her aunt for roast beef sandwiches. She passed it on to a lifelong friend of hers, who then published it in her church's cookbook. From there a popular blogger published it on the internet and the rest is history. For Robin's original recipe and a cute video of her on GMA, please click here.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 pound chuck roast
Coarsely ground black pepper to taste
1 envelope dried ranch dressing mix
1 envelope au jus or French onion soup mix (or like I did, 2 beef bouillon cubes crushed, a pinch of granulated garlic and onion powder and 1/2 of a small onion, finely diced)
8 - 10 pepperoncini peppers, whole or very coarsely chopped
Pour vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat or slow cooker if yours has a browning feature. Once oil is shimmering and hot, add chuck roast, that has been peppered to taste, and sear on both sides.
If using your slow cooker, preheat it to low or high (depending on how long your have to cook it) and transfer the meat to it. You can also use a deep sided skillet and cook, covered on top of the stove on low, or cook low and slow in your oven (about 300 degrees for 2 - 3 hours) until tender.
Once it is in the pan you plan to cook it in, sprinkle both packets over the top of the roast followed by the pepperoncini. There is no need to add any liquid if your roast is tightly covered. It will produce its own sauce from the moisture in the meat. OK, If you love some extra sauce, then you can add some water a half cup at a time, but you really don't want to overdo it. Cover and cook for up to several hours (this will depend on your cooking method) or until tender.
Once done, you can serve in portions with rice or mashed potatoes or shred with two forks and serve on crusty bread rolls.

Opportunity Knocks: Media Trading Desks Move In-House
It’s anticipated that by 2022, 80% of the advertising process will be automated. With the remainder of the process made up of elements that rely on human drivers, such as brand value and storytelling, we will have reached peak automation. Programmatic is playing a huge role in this transition, dominating the majority of mobile display and TV advertising. With the promise of more targeted ads, more and more marketers are pointing their budgets in this direction. The consequences of this, however, could have a lasting impact. Larger agencies are already introducing their own Programmatic teams, whilst Adobe believe that 62% brands will bring their media buying in-house by 2022, opening the door for an array of new opportunities. Moving Home There are several reasons that brands are choosing to bring their media buying in-house. First and foremost, with more and more budget directed towards Programmatic, the ability to automate their buying has a significant appeal. With the technology now available to do so, keeping this in-house has a number of benefits: Control: Brands can have greater control over how they spend their budget, giving them more autonomy over every stage of the process. Transparency: By owning their media buying, brands can gauge a better understanding of their ROI. Engagement: Customers continuously move from channel to channel. Keeping buying in-house helps brands keep up. Leverage: Brands can leverage their first-party data to create and execute in-house strategies. The last of these is particularly important. Following the introduction of GDPR, brands are under a significant amount of scrutiny regarding how they use customer data. By keeping this in-house, brands can have more control over how their data is both stored and used, without sharing it with third parties. Making the Investment Naturally, this change to the advertising landscape is already having implications across the wider industry. Sir Martin Sorrell, formerly of WPP, believes that brands moving in-house will be a “short lived trend” brought on by a reaction to “serious economic conditions”. However, this may not necessarily be the case. In addition to the benefits listed above, the significant investment required to move Programmatic in-house means that brands are likely to look to this as a longer-term solution.This not only involves investment in a DMP and the right technology but, more crucially, in building the right team. Without this team, any in-house venture is unlikely to succeed, regardless of technological investment. On Your Doorstep The good news is that this provides several new opportunities for Digital Analytics professionals. With 39% of Marketing Executives believing that a skills shortage is responsible for holding back Programmatic growth, there is a huge demand for the right talent, both permanent and contract. And, with this skills shortage, there is opportunity for Web and Marketing Analysts to expand their skillsets and move into the position of Media or Audience Analyst. By upskilling in media trading platforms such as AppNexus and DoubleClick, digital analysts can further enhance their expertise. When combined with the ability to visualise using Python or R they find themselves well positioned for some of the most in-demand roles around. If you’re looking for the opportunity to play an instrumental role in growing an in-house team, we may have a role for you.

From Idea to Impact: How Charities Use Data
It’s that time of year again. As the festive season draws near and we pull together wish lists, many of us also begin to think about how we can give back. Given that the UK spent over £7 billion this Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend, it’s not surprising that the idea of Giving Tuesday is becoming more and more popular. But with 160,000 registered charities in the UK alone, institutions are turning to data to find new ways to stand out and make a greater impact. Far from just running quarterly reports, charities are now utilising the insights they gain from data to inform their strategies, improve their services and plan for the future. IDEAS Given that not every charity is lucky enough to go viral with an Ice Bucket Challenge style video, there is a need to find other ways to stand out in such a crowded market. As such, many are looking to the data they have collected to help create a strategy. Macmillan Cancer Support, one the UK’s biggest charities, wanted to see more success from one of their main fundraisers, ‘The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’. The event, which sees volunteers hold coffee and cake-fuelled gatherings across the country was revolutionised by data. By engaging with their database and researching what motivated fundraisers, they refocused their marketing around how the occasion could create an opportunity for people to meet up and chat, such as swapping ‘send for your free fundraising pack’ for ‘order your free coffee morning kit’. Whilst these amends may seem superficial, they had a major impact increasing funds raised from £15m to £20m. Some brands have taken this idea even further, using Data & Analytics tools to engage with potential donors. Homelessness charity Cyrenians’ data told them that there were a number of misconceptions about rough sleepers, including 15% of people believing that they were homeless by choice. To counter this they created an AI chatbot, named Alex, that allowed users to ask questions they may not have been comfortable asking a real person. Another charity using data tools to counter common misconceptions is Dyslexia Association. Their Moment of Dyslexia campaign saw them utilise facial recognition technology; the longer a person looked at their digital poster, the more jumbled up the words and letters became. By harnessing both insights and the technology made possible by data, they were able to offer an insight into what dyslexia is like for people who previously didn’t understand. INDIVIDUALS A big issue facing a number of charities is trust. Following a series of recent scandals, the public are more sceptical than ever of how charities are run, and their use of data is no exception. This ‘trust deficit’ has resulted in vast amount of potential donors staying away, with recent research highlighting that only 11% of people are willing to share their data with a charity, even if it means a better service. Whilst charities with effective Data Governance are able to use their vast amount of data to enhance those business, those who mismanage it are likely to suffer. Following a cyber-attack that exposed the data of over 400,000 donors, the British and Foreign Bible Society were fined £100,000. As hackers were able to enter the network by exploiting a weak password, this serves as a timely reminder that our data needs not only to be clean, but secure. Financial implications aside, improper data usage can also do irreversible damage to a charity’s reputation. St Mungo’s has faced criticism for passing information about migrant homeless people to the Home Office, putting them at risk of deportation. Whilst they were cleared of any wrongdoing by the ICO, this controversial use of data has had a negative impact on the charity’s image. With a decline in the number of people donating to charity overall, anything that can put people off further is bad news. IMPACT Whilst there is more demand than ever for charities to share their impact data, there is also more opportunity. With Lord Gus O’Donnell urging charities to make data an ‘organisation-wide priority’, many are going beyond publishing annual reports and fully embracing a culture shift. Youth charity Keyfund have been able to justify how the spend their funds based on their impact data. Having heard concerns from fundraisers regarding whether their leisure projects were effective they looked at the data they had gathered from the 6,000 young people they were helping. What they found was that not only were their leisure projects effective, they had an even more positive impact than their alternatives, particularly for those from the most deprived area. This allowed them to continue to support these programs and even increase funding where necessary. Going one step further are Street League, a charity that use sports programmes to tackle youth unemployment. Rather than share their impact data in quarterly, or even annual, reports they moved to real-time reporting. Interested parties can visit an ‘Online Impact Dashboard’ and see up-to-the-minute data about how the charity’s work is impacting the lives of the people it is trying to help. This not only allows for the most relevant data to be used strategically, but also supports the business holistically, gaining donor both attention and trust. To stand out in the charity sector institutions need to take advantage of data. Not only can this be used to generate campaigns and streamline services but, when used securely and transparently, it can help rebuild trust and offer a competitive edge. If you want to make the world a better place by harnessing and analysing data, we may have a role for you. Take a look at our latest opportunities or get in touch with one of our expert consultants to see how we can help you.

Collecting Colonial Material
Collecting colonial numismatic material allows you to avoid the monotony of collecting regular U.S. Mint issue coins by variety or type. The number of different types and varieties is much greater. It also allows you the thrill of chasing many rare varieties which still remain surprisingly affordable compared to U.S. Mint coins of similar rarity. You can also enjoy comparing the wide variety in style and craftsmanship found. There is a special charm to the crudeness of some of the coins, as well as great beauty to be found in some of the tokens, medals, and currency designs of the period. Colonial numismatics ties in very closely to the history of the period. You can learn about the colonial economy, about the relations between England and her colonies, and the relations between England and the rest of Europe and America (Betts medals). Equally fascinating are the stories of entrepreneurs of the time such as John Hull, William Wood, Dr. Samuel Higley, John Chalmers, James Jarvis, Gouvemeur Morris, Capt. Thomas Machin and the many businessmen and rogues that participated in the state coinage business during the Confederation period. In addition, there are the multiple colonial currency issues. You can learn how the colonies were pioneers in the use of paper money and the stabilizing role of paper money in the colonial economy.
What to collect?
Colonial Currency
There are multiple ways to start a colonial collection. You can start with a basic colonial coin type set. This carries you from 1652 into the post-Confederation period. State coinages also offer a very popular and varied field. You can select from Massachusetts silver, Massachusetts copper, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Vermont coppers, and New York-related issues (none officially authorized). The Fugio cents represent the first coins issued under the authority of the United States in what proved to be a largely unsuccessful venture. You can also collect some of the private, speculative issues like the Continental “Dollars,” the Constellatio Novas, and some of the early Washington issues. The field of “Washingtonia” allows you to focus either on the early coin patterns, expand into the later (1790-1810 ) tokens and medals, or go into the endless variety of Washington issues that have surfaced throughout the history of this country. Colonial currency can be collected by state or Continental Congress issues, or by dates, denominations, signers, and by relation to important historical figures like Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere. From the purely historical perspective, Betts medals represent an excellent series.

Do lesbians like breasts
Lesbian boob fetish
The way I finally overcame it was prozac. Over the past seven years, I've posed this question to hundreds of teenagers and young adults across the United States. Amateur naked women videos. Do lesbians like breasts. But today, no boy wants to admit that he's the weirdo who doesn't look at online porn. Seems to me that comparing current studies of YOUNG women with older studies of the entire female population is comparing apples and oranges.
The work is never done. Do women feel differently about a gay man touching them than they do about a straight man doing the same? Men are just as likely to be bi as women. The other has to do with social skills and social anxiety. The most frustrating thing is I don't know a guy who could even comprehend the conversations we have.
Do lesbians like breasts
But I have to wonder: Do you suppose that such a trend would force more girls into eachother's arms? I'm happily married for a long time now but this has just taken on a life of it's own. To ensure passivity and to enhance the feeling of or actual female submissiona partner may also take part in bondage such as handcuffs or in other BDSM activities.
Heterosexual people are often attracted to multiple opposite sex partners but to one degree or another, choose to keep their pants on and be true or not to their spouse or significant other. Sexy girls working out nude. I've tried focusing on everything I can, eyes, hair, eyebrows, etc, but nothing works.
A vast majority are doing internet dating who are regular schmoes. Can't stop playing with them into them. Research showed that lesbians have an increased risk of breast cancer because they have not been pregnant nuns too!
I am female and like looking at my boobs as much as I can. Hilary, 50, echoed the sentiment, and says she has even used lesbian porn as a kind of instructional tool for her fiance. We are afraid of being judged and side by side we are judging ourself sub-conciously.
I like H-cup or larger and I like both natural and implants. Are there any cold sores on her lips? In other words, just good sex. This tension is so conscious in our head that we tend to do things that we want to avoid like looking at private parts. Melissa Murphy Melissa's instagram: It was hard to bring it up at first, but once you get it out I was ok, because that's what I was there for, help.
Lesbian cheerleaders having sex
I'm talking generalities here--I know many people who still have the old school mindset or religious views. My best guess comes down to mate selection: You know it feels really very nice when we know we are not alone with a problem like this. Naked kellita smith. Once again, after a moment of hesitation, all of the hands in the room went up.
We have rights, too! Therapy, Yes I'm ready but I really want to talk to someone who has this problem too.
Socializing is not just "talking to girls at parties" anymore. C or D cup. Do lesbians like breasts. She's probably one of those people who thing that lesbians are attracted to the political idea of not being with a man. But, everyone's different and there's absolutely no reason to think that your feelings are abnormal.
Does it mean I am mentally done?? Some of the Same issue as others here, I'm female, im a manager of eight female employees all different ages, sizes, races, I'm married.

IOW, I seriously doubt the supposed increased prevalence of girl bisexuals is much more than a fashion statement and a put-on. Is it an organic brain malfunction, chemical hormone imbalance, inherited, or just plain learned behavior? You know human is a social animal. I am learning to release stuff and move on. But if a young boy wanted to explore his sexuality with another male that is considered a 'feminine' thing and that is discouraged.
Why are straight women watching so much lesbian porn? Always consult with your psychotherapist, physician, or psychiatrist first before changing any aspect of your treatment regimen.

Dragon dreams
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
(Redirected from Dragon dream)
Jump to: navigation, search
© Fantasy Flight Games

Dragon dreams affect those with the blood of the dragon, who are known to have premonition-like dream ability - they are no ordinary dreams. They often involve dragons but not always.
Dragon dreams appear to have haunted those with the blood of the dragon throughout the generations; some more than others.
Members of House Targaryen and House Blackfyre have had these dreams.
Daenys The Dreamer
When Daenys Targaryen was still a maiden,[1] she had visions, including a powerful prophetic dream that Valyria would be destroyed. Her father had enough faith in her prophetic abilities to relocate his family to Dragonstone. Valyria and all the other dragonlords were destroyed twelve years later.[2]
Daenerys Targaryen
Daenerys Targaryen has dragon dreams preceding the birth of her three dragons. She dreams of a black dragon prior to her wedding day:[3]
Newly wedded, when she is despairing in the Dothraki Sea, and feeling that she cannot go on, she dreams of a black dragon.[4]
After the birth of her three dragons, Daenerys Targaryen seems to no longer be dreaming of the black dragon, but she is plagued by other dreams and visions.
The night before the sack of Astapor, aboard the Balerion, Daenerys Targaryen has what may be a prophetic dream that may involve the Others:
As Queen of Meereen she chains Viserion and Rhaegal in the darkness of the Great Pyramid's pit and Drogon is lost to her in the Dothraki Sea. She is finding herself vexed by nightmares, and her dreams have changed, no longer offering her succour:
Maester Aemon
Maester Aemon tells Samwell Tarly:
As he weakens he spends more time sleeping. Sometimes he would call for Sam, insisting that he had to tell him something, but he would often forget what he meant to say by the time Sam arrived. Even when he did recall his talk was all a jumble. He spoke of dreams and never named the dreamer, of a glass candle that could not be lit and eggs that would not hatch. He said the sphinx was the riddle, not the riddler. He asked Sam to read for him from a book by Septon Barth, whose writings had been burned during the reign of Baelor the Blessed. Once he woke up weeping, wailing:
the dragon must have three heads…but I am too old to be one of them. I should be with her, showing her the way, but my body has betrayed me. [8]
He mentions "the prophecy" and his "brother’s dream" to Sam - but does not mention what prophecy or which brother to Sam, or what the dream entailed. [8]
Daeron Targaryen
Prince Daeron Targaryen told Dunk about a dream he had. A great red dragon would fall on Ser Duncan, dead, but the knight would walk off alive. He said he did not know what it meant, but that his dreams came true and that he was scared of Dunk. The dream turned out to be metaphorical, referring to the death of Prince Baelor Targaryen.[9]
Prince Aegon Targaryen mentions another dream of Daeron's:
"I'm not stupid, ser. Someday the dragons will return. My brother Daeron's dreamed of it, and King Aerys read it in a prophecy. Maybe it will be my egg that hatches. That would be splendid."[10]
Daemon II Blackfyre
Daemon II Blackfyre, in the guise of 'John the Fiddler', talks to Duncan, saying that he recognized him on the road. Duncan had appeared to him in a dream in which Duncan wore the all-white armor of the Kingsguard. The Fiddler says his dreams always come true, as he dreamt his brothers dead once and also a dragon hatching from an egg at Whitewalls.[10]
There have always been Targaryens who dreamed of things to come, since long before the Conquest.[10]

<< but I have increasingly started wondering--what happens to Jamie now? I
mean, he's saved the world, but is he going to be miserable for the rest of
his life? What kind of man will he grow up to be, if he's allowed to grow
up? >>
I think that that comment at the end of "I'm young, I can keep them away
longer", or however it was phrased, was an indication that Jamie probably
WILL physically grow up. But it is going to take a small part of forever
before he does it. One indication is that the hundred years that he has
walked the bounds already hasn't physically aged him even one.
And, as for his sacrifice of walking the bounds to keep THEM away; It IS a
sacrifice, true, but not as dire a one as his first hunderd years on the
bounds would have implied. In the first place, he is no longer being yanked
from one place to another on THEIR whims, so he is now in control of where he
goes and when. And I rather suspect that he was able to improve the shining
hour that he spent on Konstam's world aquireing demon sensors and/or whatever
other navigational aids that Konstam's world uses which will improve the
control he has over his life tremendously.
But the first hundred years will be the hardest, as he sees Helen and the
rest grow older, while he stays, apparantly, the same. And the lonliness may
well tempt him to linger in a world, sometimes.

Green leader James Shaw has dismissed talk of a possible Green-National deal as "noise and no signal."
He said there was no substance to the speculation and while he had said he was happy to talk to National leader Bill English if he called, English was yet to call.
"So as far as I'm concerned everything else is pure speculation."
He believed there was a high chance of a Labour-NZ First-Green Government and said he was not worried the Greens would get locked out by NZ First in a repeat of 2005.
"A lot has changed in the last 12 years."
He said the most stable option was a coalition government rather than having one party offering support from the cross benches.
The cross benches are among the nine permutations NZ First Leader Winston Peters has said are before him.
Asked if that would encourage Shaw to talk to National to try ensure a more stable government, Shaw said he would deal with that if it arose.
"I don't think that's a realistic proposition. I think that's pretty unstable but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
Shaw said he did not expect to hold further talks until after special votes.
Winston Peters has declined to comment to meida at the airport this morning except to say 384,000 special votes were yet to be counted.
The Green priorities included climate change, poverty and clean rivers - but he would not say if the Greens would be willing to drop proposals such as a water tax or nitrates levy to get into government.
"It's a negotiation. Nobody gets everything they want."
He said in "mature" MMP environments such as Germany it was not unusual for negotiations to take some time. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '22', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9870674014091492}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '111419', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:XXPXU2GF7QX75IQQPJ3DKRWMANQEBFKG', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:8416b002-4754-44b0-ac6a-86cf21a4bfb7>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 7, 17, 6, 16, 28), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.50.225.179', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:MYV6F3ISSFMXUTM4GTYJMNMV2ZP257UB', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8da67e4a-6172-4843-87b0-e95c4df53f04>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11928987', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:5c7f1b44-dbfa-4968-8a6d-b8e847c7338a>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '313', 'url': 'https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11928987', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-33-201-248.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-30\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July 2018\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02081054449081421', 'original_id': 'f2bc9fa9a6d88cd78f409c44cd71810ad6178a21ae29884c9d67632327648bbd'} |

Assuming little to no debt, is it wise to go through law school and get your JD if you really don't want to practice?
I hear advice both ways - that a JD is one of the last professional degrees that can help in many contexts, that it is a flexible degree, and that the skills taught in law school are applicable to many fields. I also hear that you lose the motivation to succeed in law school if you don't have a goal, or aren't sure about being there.
That said, would you do it? What do you think?
Do you really think you were going to get into that school anyway? Or is it some pseudo-noble, grand ideal of a meritocracy that you're falsely hiding behind?
Please, indulge us. Why the concern for "equality" now, in this very specific context?

The Evolution of the Backpack: an Origin Story
We take it for granted, but this year we celebrate 50 years of what we know as the student book bag. Here’s how it came about…
Words by Amanda McCorquodale
As a backpack’s sole purpose is to help you forget about the heavy load you’re carrying, you could be forgiven for not giving them a second thought. But this year, the student backpack as we know it (that is, made of lightweight nylon with zippered compartments) celebrates its 50th anniversary, and we thought it deserved a moment of our attention.
Cultures throughout time have figured out some way to carry things backside, but how did the trusty campus backpack or bookbag come about? Well, it was a slow journey of about 700 years, followed by an accelerated half century of American entrepreneurship and ingenuity. So let’s take a look back at the evolution of the backpack.
13th to 16th Centuries
At this point, the only folks carrying around books are monks, clergymen and aristocratic nobles, and they used girdle books to go hands free while keeping text close by. These books had a loose leather binding with a long, tapered tail that could be tucked into a person’s girdle or belt. The books hung upside down so that they could be swung right-side up for reading.
Now comes the American ingenuity. In 1920, Lloyd F. Nelson, considered the father of the outdoor sporting industry, strapped an Inuit pack made of sticks and seal skins to his back as he hiked Alaska. He eventually tweaked the frame design for better weight distribution and began mass producing the “Trapper Nelson’s Indian Pack Board” two years later.
At the turn of the 20th century, school children bound their stack of schoolbooks in a book strap, a glorified leather belt, to be slung over the shoulder or alas, likely swung at schoolyard peers.
By the 1930s, however, book straps fell out of favor and kids simply — wait for it — carried school supplies in their hands. Other students relied on single-strap leather briefcases called satchels.
Back on the trails, most hikers were using rucksacks, typically bags with one opening that is tied or cinched closed. Yet mountaineer Gerry Cunningham was unsatisfied with how rucksacks slid around his back, so he spent hours on his mother’s sewing machine to create the first-ever zippered backpack out of canvas cloth.
Cunningham continued to make improvements on his backpack, eventually releasing a nylon version called the Teardrop Backpack that was lighter and stronger than its canvas predecessor and is the prototype for backpacks made today.
So how did backpacks make the leap from hiking gear to the backs of school kids like Data on The Goonies? Around the time of Cunningham’s Teardrop, outdoor company JanSport also released a nylon Ski and Hike daypack. When a sports shop inside a University of Washington bookstore began selling it, students co-opted the hiking backpack for carrying books in order to shield them from the Pacific Northwest’s near constant rain.
Lands’ End releases a simple version in just four colors made from nylon to be “kid-proof” and featured little more than an extra back pocket. Today they’re crafted with rugged polyester, plenty of pockets and tons of fun designs.
1984 – Today
Since then the student backpack has remained more or less unchanged, although there have been some experiments in innovation: The aughts saw the rise of rolling backpacks to save students from back pain. Some districts began requiring clear or mesh backpacks for safety concerns. Yet the majority of students still use the design dreamed up 50 years ago – at least for now…

TouchGen: Snappy Dragons 2 review
TouchGen: Snappy Dragons 2 is obviously a sequel, but as I missed the first one this was a new experience for me. Any game featuring an animal that sends any kind of object flying from left to right fall into the Angry Birds clone genre. In the case of Snappy Dragons 2 this is partly true. Yes, you fire from the left, and you try to kill something. There the similarities to Angry Birds end, and there are other games that I can see inspiration from. Worms, Scorched Earth and iShoot are games that come to mind when it comes to blowing away the levels to reach the evil wizards. There are however some unique features such as having to save baby dragons by blasting their cages open, but then not firing at them again because that kills them.

The film is original and pretty whacked out in its depiction , it has some interesting moments and it's a decent trip into the mind of someone trying hard to break the habit but has temptation and a fucked up family trying to ruin him. Very bleak comedy. Interesting.

Eraserhead is both shocking and unique, as this movie drives into the mind of a man who's having a living nightmare of rising a child that he never asked for, the environment that he's living in and just how unhappy he is. What David Lynch is so good at doing is making he's movies feel like a nightmare or a dream, just by how it's directed and shot creates the effect perfectly, and Eraserhead is the icing on that cake. Watched the movie twice already and after thinking about it; Eraserhead is a work of art.

The story itself has a cool central premise and the performances are generally fine although the character of Dr Ross is terribly miscast and just looks like a thug in lab coat. The dour ending, though meant to be poignant comes off somehow as mean spirited. Despite it's flaws and TV movie feel I still find it entertaining and do return to it every so often.

Sometimes This is Hard and I Make Weird Decisions
Sometimes This is Hard and I Make Weird Decisions
My flight to Dakar left Dar Es Salaam at 6 am this morning. Flew to Johannesburg, 10-hour layover, then another 8-hour flight up the continent's west side to Senegal's coastal capital.
I've wanted to go to Senegal for years. Music, dancing, fashion, beaches, mangroves, French – it has a lot of things I like. It's a lot more dangerous than Tanzania, sure, but I figured whatever risks are present could be overcome by reaching out to a network of acquaintances and just keeping my wits about me. I've been excited about this trip for months.
Around mid-afternoon a friend from Arusha sent me an Instagram message to say goodbye and to see how my flight was going.
I sent a short response: “No idea. I didn't get on the plane.”
“Shit Hil, isn't that an expensive mistake?”
It wasn't a mistake. I just didn't get on the plane.
There are worse problems to have than too many friends, too many streets to learn your way down, too many houses that feel like home.
I could be working a job I hate, living my life in a town I never liked, stuck in a shit situation that just kind of happened that has no end in sight. It could be a failed marriage, an unplanned pregnancy, a violent childhood, an unexpected death, a systemic oppression, a miscarriage of justice, a chronic illness, a cycle of poverty. A famine a fistfight a fatwa.
My problems aren't problems at all. Just the inevitable emotional upheaval that results from the constant movement I've chosen, and the accompanying need to swallow it and carry on.
I've been on the road now, in some capacity, for just under a year. Ten months of no home, no structure, no routine. It's beautiful, it's inspiring, it's incredibly fun, it's an absolutely unbelievable privilege for which I am unendingly grateful.
It is also, at times, really fucking hard.
In a time of constant movement, there are nonstop hellos and constant goodbyes. Every day brings new friends, new experiences, new people to love and then leave.
Strangers become acquaintances quickly, acquaintances become your new best friends. You have unusually vulnerable conversations with people you've met an hour earlier, rely heavily on the integrity of people you've known for eight minutes, spend a month living in the home of someone you'd only met a months previous.
The hello part is amazing. The openness you feel towards strangers is a welcome change from the ho-hum way we interact with our neighbours at home. But with every hello comes a goodbye. You get on a bike, get on a bus, get on a plane, leave forever.
When I walked through Arusha on my last day carrying my two backpacks, I expected what you'd expect for mzungu walking through town with luggage – a hustle and a hassle. I expected offers of fraudulent safaris and attempts to sell knock-off Maasai jewelry. Instead I got hugs and handshakes and whole lot of “Rafiki you'll come back soon right?”
I just say ndiyo (yes) and smile. In 10 months of constant goodbyes, I've become adept at smiling as I walk away. It's a cold skill to master.
Leaving is just leaving, I've learned to do it quickly. To say kesho (see you later) when we both know it's actually kwa heri (goodbye). To kiss a person at the departure gate and walk away, don't look back, pretend it didn't feel like love. To not cry until you get on the plane, to not cry at all.
Travelling alone leaves you open to the world, but vulnerable to the nonstop loss of the relationships you build along the way. When you leave, you leave alone, bringing nothing but the memories with you. Your heart simultaneously full to the point of bursting, but constantly making room for new people and increasingly incapable of hurting you as you fortify the walls around it.
My heart is full and I'm heartless.
It's something Joelle and I talk about a lot. I'm travelling, she's moved across the world. My situation is temporary, hers is as permanent as anything can be guaranteed.
She chose love and stayed in a place a million miles from home. A decision she doesn't regret one bit but it's not without its drawbacks. In this world there are few benefits without costs.
Joelle's little sister reads every one of my blog posts so she can feel closer to Joelle's new life. You can call home, but you can't video conference hugging your parents. You can't Skype your friend's wedding, can't WhatsApp hiking with your sister, can't Facetime festival season, can't iMessage kicking back with your roommate.
I think about my family every day. Think about my friends back home, concentrate to make sure I still remember the inflection in their voices and the way they move around a room. I text them when I remember but I don't remember often enough.
I think about the people I've met on the road and wonder if it meant as much to them as it did to me. Think about messaging people I only spent a day with to be like, “Hey hope everything's good with you just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know I fucking love you and I miss you so much.”
I miss the hell out of people I have no idea when I'll see again. If I'll see again.
I miss you and I love you so very, very much.
It's a privilege to travel the world, I'm the luckiest person I know and I know that. It's not hard, but it's not that fucking easy either.
On what was supposed to be my last day in Tanzania, I took a phone call from a friend in Arusha while lying on my back in my hotel room in Dar. The sound of his voice made the tears roll down my cheek and into my phone so quickly I was worried they'd short-circuit the phone. Short-circuit my heart.
Until yesterday, I hadn't cried in 10 months. Yesterday tears were my auto-response.
I called Joelle while she was at work in a small-scale panic, like, Joelle I have 8 hours until takeoff, 8 hours to decide if I get on this plane or not. Called my mom in Vancouver at what would be 2am for her and tried to wake her up.
When that was unsuccessful I called my friend in Arusha, we'll name her Cathy, like “hey I hope you're not busy because I think I'm losing my mind.” If I couldn't talk to my mom I at least needed the advice of a woman her age.
We went over the pros and cons. Money? Fuck it. Safety? Stay. Adventure? Go. Emotions? Stay.
“Hil I think you're making all these phone calls because you're looking for somebody else to justify for you what you don't even need to justify to yourself. You obviously don't want to leave, so just stay.”
I hung up and brought my Lonely Planet guidebook for Senegal to the bookshop down the road, traded it for a discount on a Swahili exercise book. The bookshop owners, a hilarious older British couple, knew I was supposed to leave the next morning and inquired as to why I'd be making this particular exchange at this particular moment.
- I'm not going.
“Why not?”
- I don't want to.
“That's as good of a reason as any. Karibu tena. Welcome back.
- Asante. It feels good to be home.

"Perception" - GCR / RV SITREP - Sunday - May 15, 2017
Received via email.....
Happy Mother's Day!
May the Divine Feminine continue to gain power and strength, retaking her vaulted vibrational throne as Gaia's dominant human experience!
Let the new earth be born today!
The cabal has tried various attempts this weekend to stop RV with a massive 20 country cyber attack, fake North Korean nuke launch and even a legal UST sanction not allowing Americans to redeem foreign currency.
All of those desperation moves we're anticipated and countered quickly.
The threat of hijacking existing sovereign nations nukes however is still a very real threat and considered the biggest potential disruption to human progress.
Ukrainian and Israeli nukes have been eliminated, but France is still an option until 6pm EDT or midnight in France.
Know President Hollande is full cabal and cannot be trusted, and as of 10am EDT had yet to turn over the nuclear codes which legally he doesn't have to do until midnight French time.
This is why the world waits on France and not Iraq. But hey, those big Iraqi freedom flags are very colorful.
Mosul. Mosul. Mosul.
Meaning, the cabal is still negotiating with terror--for what we have no idea, but they are clearly taking this transition down to the last possible second because that's what scorpions do--they sting... as it is their nature.
The NPTB have threatened Trump, Netanyahu and Poroshenko with instant public removal and elimination of amnesty packages (including currency exchanges) so as not to block the RV this weekend.
They even have them all in secrete "House Arrest" (that includes Trump, Poroshenko, Netanyahu and Hollande).
Comey was a diversion for the real meat of the 2006 Trump investigation/evidence which is the NSA/Pentagon (Republic)--who were onto the Mossad/Trump psy-op well over two decades earlier.
They have taped conversations (and videos) of Trump in treasonous activity, which means they like the Russians and Israeli's, they have Donna by the short hairs and why this current political situation is so incredibly confusing.
Trump has been compromised by three different elements of power for decades. And Mossad has controlled him since birth--creating the whole business man extraordinaire image in fact.
Scary that 66 million plus people voted for him. Even more scary that 69 million plus voted for Hillary Clinton, who was compromised far worse, and for far longer--including the whole 9/11 - Saudi Arabia - ISIS formation crimes against humanity on her resume.
Know the NPTB can end a Presidency (his or hers) at any hour of any day. That said, they too are negotiating by holding back the RV--which is the true death blow the cabal (i.e. infinite liquidity to the masses).
Trump is not part of the restored Republic in any way--rather he's being used as a media political patsy to smoke out deep cover cabal agents posing as white knights--which indirectly serves the Republic's mission.
Some of these names would drop your jaw and have you running straight to D.C., Wall Street and Hollywood with loaded automatic weapons.
Please don't. It's enough to know the whole system was rigged against humanity and no longer will be. Choose instead to focus on the future blessings not past sins.
When Trump knee jerked and fired Comey this week it was because he was ordered too by Mossad--as the NPTB were prepping to formally bring charges against both Netanyahu in Israel and Trump in Washington, D.C..
They needed instant leverage. Instead they weakened their position from a perception standpoint.
Everyone is using Trump's high profile Presidential pulpit for their own purposes, but his sheer incompetence and compromised history gives the global media a lot of red meat to report on.
Still he lives by the tweet but will soon die by the tweet. We just have to deal with the fallout nonsense until we don't.
The question now is when do they brandish the sharp sword and "kill the bull" in order to roll out the RV. As they are one in the same.
On Mother's Day? In celebration of the Divine Feminine? Maybe. Certainly markets being closed for another day is a positive.
But we know the entire financial system (banks and markets) have already been transitioned from malevolent to benevolent (as have the new currency rates on back screens), so what's the hold up?
Complete and total annihilation of the cabal. Safely and invisibly. It's the only explanation.
Remember, when it comes to delivering a safe RV, perception means more than reality.
Thus, the take down of public figures, especially well known world leaders, is a delicate game that must be slowly massaged away--not the more popular band aid ripping philosophy of D-Land desperates.
Slow is fast and fear dangerous when attempting macro-sized changes.
So is your RV glass half full or half empty? Either way, your 100% correct because the RV's structural reality deems it done as of today, yet your perception may still scream not yet... or worse, not ever.
Can't help ya there.
Just be advised that Russia/China/Republic would never allow anyone into the WH they didn't have full control over, including the instantaneous ability to remove him / her from power at will.
This is why our military has been fully deployed again as of Friday afternoon and were told its "jump weekend." They're still in position at this hour on Sunday... and you guessed it... waiting.
Redemption center and call staff are still awaiting the 800# release. They are bored as hell and don't know what the f-@! is going on, and anyone saying otherwise is is lying.
Many in both camps are having to spend yet another empty holiday away from family (all be it paid). Yet everyone believes we're in the final execution phase, with no one certain of critical event timing.
Well planned, Fighting Joe. We're all in the dark... and yet... we can see what you're doing plain as day via technology and digital media.
Analyst thinking is that once the French nuke codes are passed on to Macron, and proven authentic, structurally we can begin.
The whole Daesh/ISIS conundrum is not the main issue--never was--mass destruction is and remains the top priority to preventing global calamity.
Sunday evening is the start of the business / market week in Asia, as well as the safest time to release the RV from a traffic perspective, plus the natural distraction of getting mentally ready for work on Monday morning is an organic flash bang.
Don't discount an artificial flash bang appearing suddenly around some Trump leak later in the day--specifically one from the NSA's audio recording pool with Trump discussing Russian sanction relief in exchange for real estate purchases above market value.
They have a whole library to choose from.
That would eat up the news cycle for a few weeks as well as guarantee his exodus from power. Two birds, one stone.
Trump's arrive, raise hell and leave philosophy might be very fitting, but it is not going to be pretty few weeks for the Orange One. Nor America for that matter. But it should be heaven on earth for the chosen and awakened currency holders.
We shall see. Perhaps as soon as later today. Keep the faith. The RV is real and really here and now.
God is with us. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.954384982585907}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '318665', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:4ETNTZVG2XHTIVGULHRV2LERQMON6ITN', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:0604ed79-efaf-4fb7-90c5-302690af9324>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 6, 13, 58), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.5.243', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:XPBTSHSKEQUKQXZWMEMZ2OK4DHDH4FO7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:eb3e2e9f-a1f9-4e9c-bf30-1d5938eb4b9d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.ascensionwithearth.com/2017/05/perception-gcr-rv-sitrep-sunday-may-15.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d123fa89-2f89-405c-8dc0-4c46e821c52d>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1199', 'url': 'https://www.ascensionwithearth.com/2017/05/perception-gcr-rv-sitrep-sunday-may-15.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-149-111-56.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.04926043748855591', 'original_id': '486777f6e2ab58f216d9dd387e523f3021c55e8a1f0165548c90bd16eb18cba4'} |
How many times have you entered a clothing store only to see that pair of jeans that you bought last week going on sale for half of the price? This is actually a common experience that little people know about; however, the shoppers that know how to find a good deal in a clothing store will be able to buy those jeans for half of the price that you paid! Let's assume that the pair of jeans that you bought cost $80; if you had bought them one week later you would have saved $40. Furthermore, when you take those savings and multiply them by the 8 pairs of jeans that you have, you will quickly realize that you could have potentially saved yourself $320. These savings can quickly accumulate once you have learned how to find good deals in clothing stores.
With the right knowledge and skills, finding good deals in clothing stores can be rather simple. This article will provide you with tips on how to look for those great deals in the clothing stores that you most commonly shop at; read them over, and you will surely be saving money on your clothing purchases in no time!Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 T ShirtCredit:
Look For The Clearance Section
It is almost necessary for a clothing store with relatively high volume to have a clearance section; moreover, this is the place that you will generally find the best deals. Clearance sections are usually filled with discontinued clothing, extra large and extra small clothing, and clothing that is more than one season old; if you are willing to buy any clothes that fall into this category, you will be able to find a good deal in the clearance section of a clothing store. You can typically expect the clothes in the clearance section to be marked down by 50-80 percent; nonetheless, this is probably the best deal that you will encounter in a clothing store.
Look For Clothing Defects
Managers of clothing stores are willing to throw the ticketed price in the garbage and give you a good deal on clothing if you can find a defect in it. Some common defects to look for are small rips, loose threads, missing buttons, and broken zippers. Ideally you should look for defects that can be easily repaired; however, if you are willing to wear the clothes without fixing the defect, then you can easily get a good deal without having to repair anything. You can typically expect to save between 10 and 15 percent on defective clothing depending on the type and significance Diesel Only The Brave Nanar T ShirtCredit: Amazon.comof the defect; it may not seem like a great deal of savings, but they can sure add up after a year's worth of shopping.
Wait Until The Next Season
Clothing stores experience the same seasons as the world; they get new shipments of clothing in the spring, summer, fall, and winter. With that being said, you can find good deals on clothes if you decide to buy them at the right time. When was the last time that you saw a winter jacket being ticketed at its full price during the middle of the summer? Clothing stores prefer to get rid of their old merchandise so that they can make room for their new merchandise; they mark down their clothes when the season is over so that they can sell them quicker. By buying your clothes after the season has finished, you can get a good deal in a clothing store while buying perfectly good clothing. This method is the most effective for people that can plan ahead because they can buy their clothes during the season prior and get a good deal on them. For instance, if a person purchases a winter jacket for the winter of 2010 in the spring of 2009 they would have paid 1/3 of its original ticketed price at most! When used effectively, buying out of season can allow you to find good deals in clothing stores.
Keep Your Eyes And Ears Open For SalesZoo York Blue Lounge Lizard T ShirtCredit:
Aside from the private sales that clothing stores hold for friends and family of the employees, most sales are announced; moreover, there is no better way to get a good deal on clothes than by a simple sale. Sales in clothing stores usually consist of one whole type of clothing being on sale (such as all jeans), usually offer 20-40 percent off of the original ticketed price, and usually announce the sale about a week before it actually begins. As long as you are willing to keep your eyes and ears open for these sales, you will be able to score a good deal on the clothes that you buy. The only thing that you must be aware of is that they usually only order a limited quantity of the clothes that are going on sale; so get there early to ensure that you get a good deal on your clothes.
Look For Closing Blowouts
These closing blowout sales rarely happen; however, when they do you can be sure that you will be getting a good deal on your clothes. These sales occur when a store is moving locations or closing down entirely, and offer extremely good deals on their clothes. The key to this method is to wait until the last possible day before they close down and attempt to buy the clothes then; by doing this you will ensure that you get the absolute best possible deal on your clothes. These stores usually drop their prices lower, and lower as the last day approaches as an attempt to ensure that all of the clothes sell; by using their method to your advantage, you can find deals that will make your friends' jaws drop to the floor!
Looking good can sometimes be expensive; however, with the right knowledge and skills you can significantly cut the cost of your clothes. It is obvious that some sacrifice in various comes with the ability to get such good deals on your clothes; but the amount of sacrifice is miniscule compared to the amount that you can save. Use the tips that are provided in this article to get good deals in clothing stores, and you will surely keep your wallet full while you fill up your closet as well! | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.971680462360382}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '58999', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:XGYPZREEM5GSIH63OH4IQMCBRZJGBSFM', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:35cee8c8-a920-4824-847b-6e0537f900ce>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 6, 13, 3), 'WARC-IP-Address': '204.187.12.70', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:UJ52CO6Z6ZNJDXE2TOK72P4XWKXDBS4M', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:32222334-b981-4a15-bd96-0f8a0f7675b4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.infobarrel.com/Finding_Good_Deals_In_Clothing_Stores', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:cc391800-58e4-422f-b1df-50553e61a9b6>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1062', 'url': 'http://www.infobarrel.com/Finding_Good_Deals_In_Clothing_Stores', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-152-117-40.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.025464415550231934', 'original_id': '81a4666b77a0e33910743e5b73f937e93b57e9de17e5d85aaa8da0f8eb8c5840'} |
How to Make Ginger Powder and Instant Ginger Tea (Salabat)
Ginger has many health benefits. We usually consume it as tea or as spice and flavor. Some people consume it as is. They chew it like a candy!
Ginger health benefits
remedy for cold and flu
remedy for upset stomach and aids in digestion
improves blood flow
kill many intestinal parasites
can improve voice
stimulate respiratory and nervous system
cures morning sickness in pregnant women
breath freshener
relieves dizziness and motion sickness
help lower cholesterol
ease menstrual cramps
During peak season, preserve some ginger for later use.
It can be preserved by drying or processing into instant ginger tea and powder.
Make Ginger Powder
1. Select good quality ginger and wash to remove soils and other foreign objects.
2. Cut into thin slices. Spread evenly in trays.
3. Dry under the sun or in oven under moderate heat or 70ºC.
4. If desired. Pulverize using blender or grinder.
5. Pack and seal tightly.
Make Instant Ginger Tea
2. Cut into thin slices. Blend using waring blender or grind.
3. Extract the juice using cheesecloth. You may skip step two and use heavy duty juice extractor.
4. Add one cup sugar to every cup of ginger extract. The type of sugar to use depends on your preference except artificial sweetener.
5. Boil vigorously in high fire with continuous stirring to avoid scorching.
6. Switch to low fire when the solution thickens.
7. Start to test for the end point. Get small sample with a spoon and cool immediately. If the sample become hard and can be pulverized, the instant ginger tea is ready.
8. Keep on testing every 5 to 10 minutes. Overcooking will cause the sugar to caramelize and ruin product.
9. Pack in clean jar and seal tightly.
For those sugar haters. Dried ginger powder can also be use as tea but it needs brewing, brew it like coffee.

1. Very informative, however if there would be a training on ginger processing it would be very clear and beneficial
2. Can i preserve the ginger powder mixed with sugar (not using process how to make instant ginger tea) in an airtight bottle? How long will it last?
3. I try making instant salabat powder but unfortunately it end up into caramel , I try again but the same thing it was no successful to be in powder form, how would I know that it is being over cooked
1. Buy a candy thermometer. It is ready when the temperature reaches 115C. Remove from heat and continue stirring. Alternatively, when the solution starts to thicken, get a small sample ever five minutes and let it cool quickly.
4. Make pickled ginger.
this is the pickling solution:
1 cup sukang sasa or tubo or niyog or apple cider
1 heaping Tbsp salt
6-8 Tbsp sugar
optional: add slices of garlic and red onion (sibuyas tagalog is best)-
1. you may use the pickling solution for any atchara: native- pinag-halong nilagang talong, ampalaya, body ng kangkong, okra, sitaw.
or fresh papaya or sayote or labanos – (cut the salt in half pag heto ang ginamit, and use half vinegar & half pineapple juice for the pickling solution).
papaya should be grated
sayote any cut will do- (from parang tooth pick, to parang french fries, manipis na palapad or simple grated etc..) sprinkle 2 Tbsp salt for every kilo material.. let stand for about 2 hours then DRAIN DO NOT WASH WITH WATER. mix spices and additional veggies like carrots & bell pepper, raisins and pineapple tidbits if desired.
put in jar- pour pickling solution and serve after 24-48 hours.
1. sift out the large particles. Pass it through coffee grinder ( like the one used in bars ). Then sift out the large particles again. Repeat until all big chunks are gone.
customer usually never pay attention to particle size differences. Take muscovado sugar for example. People would think it is fake if the numerous hard chunks are not present.
5. About honey with instant Ginger drink. Gold kili us honey not sugar. I think honey will not be the same added like sugar. Please check Gold Kili instant honey with Ginger drink.
1. I cannot tell exact value, but, the at least one year assumption is safe. It may decrease or increase depending on how airtight it is, product moisture content and other ingredients added.
You can do actual shelf life test by storing a retention sample every production batch.
Switch to opaque packaging to further lenghten shelf life. Light is also a great factor in effect.

7. I want to start my own processing unit for processing dry ginger from ginger. but i don’t no any information relates to that like as cost of unit, market strategies for dray ginger so please help me that you possible. i m leave in India Sangli district.
8. Thank you for posting this. It is very informative. I have one question. Is the way to dry ginger and make it into powder applicable for ginseng too? I am interested to do the same thing to ginseng, as it is also one of the “super” herb. Thanks.
9. Sir please help me how to make genger business give me information i have land i want to plant genger. Im from Philippines .thanks a lot
well, keep up the good work fellows.
11. An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I do believe
that you should publish more on this issue,
Keep it up
13. Thanks for the info above i want to start a bussiness concerned with ginger powder want to get video clips to view the process
14. everyone seems to b talking abt the process but can someone plz tell me how long will it take to dry the ginger in the oven at 70deg centigrade?
1. I am sorry, I cannot give you exact answer. There are other things affecting the speed of drying beside temperature.
1) particle size. finely ground ginger will dry faster than course ground, chopped and whole ginger.
2) presentation. the thinner spread on trays, the faster the drying time will be
3) air flow in and out the oven. air carries moisture. more efficient air flow = faster drying time.
4) oven load. oven will have a hard time drying too many ginger at a time. varying the load each time will also vary the drying times.
Set the above parameters first then dry it down to customer’s specification. e.g. 6% moisture content.
hope it helps!
15. Hi, I made this last night and was really happy with the result. Had to work very quickly though as once it starts to powder as it set like cement! Thankyou for posting this recipe.
16. How best to make tea with the ginger powder? If you soak it in boiling water in an infuser will that work? Or will the heat destroy some of the properties? Thanks for your input…

18. DEAR SIR,
1. You mean ginger powder! The process flow is very simple as written in article. The equipment you need are slicer,dryer and grinder. The equipment size depend on the volume of production you desire.
2. Dear Rajesh Jee,
This is Mr. Aryal from Nepal. I have already started such business in Nepal. The components are thats all what Mr. Marvin said to you. but if you need higher quality ginger powder you have to peel out the ginger for that feeling machine also needed. In ours there is good production of ginger soo we can make a partnership as well for the sector development there by sharing our ideas and market situation.

19. Dear Sir/Madam
I want to know how to make natural ginger granule to be added to tea leaves.Your advise will be highly appreciated.
Kind regards
1. @Hirantha – In that case, you need to slice the ginger as thin as possible. The thinner, the better. Dry it under the sun, in oven (not more than 70 degree centigrade) or just air drying at room temperature. Less temperature treatment is recommended to avoid destruction of potent substances. Then grind after drying. You may also refer to basic principles of dehydration here. Hope it help!
20. Good evening.Would you be so kind letting me know how to consume ginger extract?I have a juice extractor and got the root juice.It is very strong.What is the amount I should consume?Is this the correct form to use it?Is it good for the immune system? Thank you for your time an valuable help.Please answer my request.
1. Extracted juice without application of heat is the best. Heat might destroy some potent properties. Pure ginger extract is really strong, diluting in water and adding sugar ca be done. It is also good for the immune system.
1. @Drew honey cannot be added. Like corn syrup, honey also prevent crystallization of sugar. You gonna end up in a hard ginger candy.

Ok so parental allienation is to be scrapped as of June - brilliant, dont know how it happened just glad it did.
SO, what are peoples thoughts could we start the ball rolling with a petition to stop over nights for children under 8 and set an age at which a child can say what they want say 12 or 13?
I am not advocating a move towards shutting dads out of kids lives ! Just that kids have a right to feel they have a home and are not a bit of furniture to be handed around. They have a right to feel secure, build a network of friends, know where there things are but most of all to be heard.
Yes i know all the men will say well i will be the primary carer but lets get down to raw basics. If you take a cub from a lion what happens ? She attacks to protect her young. She is not a bad lion it is just biology, mums are programmed to raise and care for the young, men are programmed to hunt and gather. What the family court is doing is trying to change biology and in the end they will cause enourmous damage to the young ones of Australia.

absolutley count me in, my poor kids and they are only young, have just spent the weekend with the x, but because monday was a public holiday he got to keep them that day / evening as well to before school on tuesday morning, i now have to pick my baby up from school, bring the child home from school and literally hand the poor kid back to their dad for another night. that is 5nights in total for 2 kids aged under 6.
even my child's school has said that this is crazy, and totally unfair on children so young. yes i do my x to be a part of my kids lives but not like this, it is to hard on them

Coming from someone who doesn't receive child support, even know the whereabouts my son's father, tries desperately to stay in contact with my ex's family (they don't know where he is) who live in a different state and visit at least once a year so that my son can have full sense of origin not just half of one, who grew up not knowing her father because he died at a very young age and who's mother never kept in contact with his family or even has a photo, LIMITING KIDS ACCESS FROM A FATHER WHO GENUINELY LOVES THEM AND WHO WANTS TO BE IN THEIR LIVES SEEMS PREPOSTEROUS. Analogically referring women to a vicious creature like a lioness makes me feel there are more than this one issue going on and there are other animals in nature who are far more sophisticated and who prove that co-operation can be more beneficial. When you think about it, why else would humanity be trying for thousands of years to get it right? I am sure individual circumstances would warrant different outcomes but a petition like this would have no validity on a wide scale; this is why a court system is in place. Not everyone is going to happy with their outcome but would you rather live in countries where mother's have no rights to their children?
By 2tired
Although I underrstand what you are expressing, many children are sufferring with having to go to dads overnight (sometimes many nights) and I am not speaking of the cases where both parents get along and both have positive, healthy relationships with children (as generally speaking these are not the one going into court rooms as the parents discuss and come to arrangements in the genuine best intrest of children themselves). I am talking of the children (and their mums) who have escaped abusive relationships, my son and daughter were 6 and 7 when dad wanted them for the first time in their lives- he went from seeing them for 20 minutes approximately once a month to demanding them 50% of the time to stop us from relocating 2 hours away (and to hinder my new relationship).
I wont go into detail about how my children suffered(feel free to look up some of my previous posts though, and that of some of the other mums whose only desire is to create a happy and healthy life for their kiddies) but I will say count your blessings that your ex cant be found, and isnt causing your son any pain or stress over that caused by his absence.
I didnt mean this to sound so cold or condascending and although I know that a petition such as this one will most likely do little to Nil I would still happily sign it.

I'm the mother of the "I will never forgive...." submission to the Family Law (family violence and others measures) 2011 Bill. Part of a parental arrangement that cooperated with over nights, travel etc. We were wrong. We were very wrong. I support this activism and I think it goes to the heart of attitude changes that are needed in the community and between parents. There are things we need to insist upon from our children, this kind of existence is not one of them.

Step Up Transformer Application - Distribution Transformer Manufacturer
Step Up Transformer Application
A transformer is a passive device, which does not provide energy, and its load capacity depends mainly on the driving power of the primary drive circuit. If the output resistance of the driving circuit is low and the output current is larger, the load capacity of the high frequency transformer is also stronger. Of course, the thickness of the wire in the transformer's own winding will also limit the maximum output power of the transformer. If the output of the transformer is too large, it may burn out the winding. However, when the load is increased, the voltage drop is severe, which is mainly due to the internal resistance of the primary drive circuit of the transformer. To this end, a primary power amplifier can be added at the front of the transformer to increase the power of the transformer.
The function of the transformer in the power system is to change the voltage to facilitate the transmission of power. When the voltage is increased by the set up transformer, the line loss can be reduced and the economy of the power supply can be improved to achieve the purpose of long-distance transmission. The set up transformer is a kind of transformer type, which has the function of voltage compensation, which is also referred to as the set up compensator. In fact, most transformers are divided into two types: set up transformer and step-down transformer. The two types of transformers are diametrically opposed in terms of voltage. The secondary coil of the set up transformer is more than the number of turns of the original coil, and the voltage grade is 220 V, 380 V, 400 V, 415 V, 480 V, 500 V, 515 V, 660 V, 690 V, 1140 V to 60 KV, etc. It adopts imported silicon steel sheet, high quality oxygen-free copper wire, which has the advantages of small volume and good quality. It is widely used in construction projects, where the line is too long to meet the needs of the voltage used, and the undervoltage compensation is applied in different occasions such as imported equipment matching and different grades of voltage abroad. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.935164988040924}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '56411', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:OTXQ3U3ETXYYIH7GLP4IKNDZNQ43KULC', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:636c99d0-2fbf-49ea-bf28-12fde4ac2084>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 3, 47, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '47.89.211.179', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:BH37B6VEWGAOXOU46QBQQJR5G6CYH7M5', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:cf62b20e-f3ec-490c-86ae-a4457bf3a211>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.zjyb-electric.com/step-up-transformer-application.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:53a5f168-52c2-416a-bf15-74f28109966b>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '368', 'url': 'http://www.zjyb-electric.com/step-up-transformer-application.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-81-203-254.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.06832230091094971', 'original_id': '7f9212a303f92193585cf8a195db0aceefc8e9d080a1347f23f26b30c7f8dc28'} |
Building My First App: The Process
A ton of beginners believe that they need to learn an immense amount of code before they can ever build anything useful. I’ve felt like that before, hell I still get that feeling of extreme self-doubt but its less frequent than before. I’m here to prove you CAN build an app that serves a purpose with very limited programming knowledge. There’s a few prerequisites that you must have that are not even coding related before you decide to build just anything. I’ll list the ones I find most important:
1. Do you really want to solve problems and build things that make a difference for people?
2. Can you identify a need or want that you have a desire to solve?
3. Are you willing to put aside leisure activities to solve this problem?
I find the most successful programmers are not the people with the best coding skills, its the people who want to genuinely make a difference. If you’re still struggling with those aspects then you maybe need to re-look at the whole reason you are in this game.
Ok so if you’ve got those 3 questions above answered, then we can move on. Just as a little background, I currently work at a marketing agency and we use a program called Google Adwords to setup and deploy advertisements. Without getting into too much boring details, we use these things called ‘keywords’ to basically figure out who we want to show the ads to when people search for things on Google. There’s a few modifications we can make to these keywords to alter their properties. For example, I can take the word “find a plumber” and change its properties in 3 different ways, like this:
+find a +plumber
“find a plumber”
[find a plumber]
I used to manually adjust these keywords one by one so it took a stupid amount of time to complete. I knew there had to be a better way, so I searched around and found this cool website called Keyword Toaster. This was great because I could now save a ton of time by just copying/pasting my chunk of keywords here and have this website convert them for me. Though, there were a few problems I identified that I feel could be improved:
1. Prepositions shouldn’t be include for modified broad keywords
2. I had rather edit the keywords in the same window as Adwords
So it dawned on me, what if I just made a Chrome Extension that fulfilled these needs? All the app is essentially doing is taking a string, altering it, then returning the altered string in an output box. Easy right? Well, kinda…
I looked into what it takes to create a Chrome Extension and found that I should primarily be using Javascript. One thing that made me go with a Chrome Extension is A) I could use the extension in the same window as Adwords and B) No backend/server-side coding needed. I rarely see anyone suggest creating a Chrome Extension to newbies but this was the easiest, most straightforward platform to launch my simple app to the world.
Alright so, I had a minimal amount of JS knowledge beforehand but I knew I really needed to brush up on the basics. So I went through a highly recommended course on that taught me these essential concepts:
• How to read Javascript
• How to debug
• Functions/Arrays
• Basic DOM manipulation
The course basically teaches you how to create a simple Todo app in your browser. This is perfect because all a Todo app does is take an input and display an output. If you think about it, that’s almost the core function of most applications at a very basic level. So what I did was run through the whole course once, then a second time. During the second pass of the course, I essentially took what was being taught and applied to to the concept of the app I was trying to create. I was able to take 80% of the code taught and use it in creating Keyword Modifier. The only real difference in this case was altering the output, which I accomplished with a little REGEX.
To live test the code I was writing I used This made it super easy to see my changes in real time for an app of this size. I wasn’t overly worried about CSS so it looked pretty fugly but all I cared about was the core functionality. Trust me, I make it sound like this was a simple process but even though most of the code I used was from the Watch and Code lesson, I had to reach out to people on different Slack channels and refer to Stack Overflow countless times for help.
After many months, my first little application was born on the Chrome Web Store. Here is a link to the first version I had initially launched.: . Its a little cleaner now after some refactoring and added functionality, so you will see some minor changes to it if you download it today.
The point of this whole article is to prove that if you have the desire to create and build, its going to carry you through the hurdles of coding regardless of how little you know.
If you’re reading this and currently struggling with your idea for an app, leave me a comment! I’d be happy to talk about your process and help you along.
Changing My Mindset: Coding is a Marathon
Photo by Robert Murray on Unsplash
I used to hold this idea that learning code was something that I needed to plunge full force into. Spend hours each day coding until I couldn’t stand to look at my screen any longer and get up to speed as quickly as possible. While Im sure this can work for some people, it sure as hell flopped for me. Only until recently have I changed that awful “sprint” mindset where I attempted to get the most done in the shortest amount of time. Although some blame should be placed on these coding ‘bootcamps’ that have been popping up all over the place promising to get you job ready in as little as 3-6 months. This propagates this ‘sprint’ learning mindset that many people then adopt as the norm for a code-learning timeframe.
If you’ve done any programming, you know that it is like learning an entirely different way of thinking. You’re essentially re-wiring your brain to follow an oder of operations that feels almost inhuman (which well, it is). For me to get my mind wrapped around a lot of these concepts it took time to let these concepts marinate. After trying and failing for many months to put in multiple hours of coding every day, I finally had a series of breakthroughs that changed my thought process on the whole thing.
1.) I realized that I will forever be learning how to code and that there’s no end-game to this. Once that reality hit, this learning time-frame which was arbitrarily short and ever moving forward was abolished. I now realized I can easily learn in little chunks every day and be better off than attempting to blast ass through huge concepts in record time.
2.) I surprisingly found out that Im most receptive and learn best early in the morning before work. This was mind-blowing because I’ve always been a night owl and have done any and everything after 5pm. Once I realized this I made it apart of my routine to wake up an hour early and code in my company’s cafe until 8am hits. I’ve tried coding at home and have a lot less luck than if I leave the house.
3.) Much like having a workout buddy in the gym makes you more accountable, having a coding buddy is just as beneficial. So every morning me and a coworker meet up to work on our own projects. My coworker actually isn’t even learning code, she’s just working on her own side project but the fact that we both set a goal to meet every morning helps keep us accountable and consistent.
There ya have it, those 3 changes above have made a world of difference for me. Ironically, the whole idea is to do less but do less more often. Its consistency that has been the driving variable of success these past few months. Lastly I want to mention that I’ve included a new portion of the site dedicated to my daily coding activities. I initially kept a log of what I learned/accomplished in a Google Doc but I figure might as well share it with the world. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9698055982589722}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '42871', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:JWMEHEZSNB7ZV6SM743TYMDOPJI3LVZR', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:8f7bf196-ed0a-4c77-aaeb-d48c72b4ce2a>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 6, 34, 39), 'WARC-IP-Address': '173.236.180.159', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:HGCIDCWX6WTMH6RNVII5TPCOUDKJG2QA', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:3f583c23-c55a-4743-8072-24dba550591e>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.bennettdungan.com/category/blog/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:515a35ce-2e94-487b-b261-f8ae58aed7c7>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1438', 'url': 'https://www.bennettdungan.com/category/blog/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-149-111-56.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.032769083976745605', 'original_id': '1016ad54957e6d47cd36b763d1006b932d54a5d45237091942cb91b8b7bfc03d'} |

: What type of person do I hire to do such a conversion? Can a GC do it or am I better of with some sort of consultant helping the process along?
++ An experienced major plumbing/heating contractor should be able to handle it.
: : ++ What's 'normal'? You'd change when the old steam boiler died. Then it would be worth it over the next decades.
: ++++That sounds like at best a 10+ year payback versus just a new steam boiler.
--Yup, the choice is to leave it as is and pay for double the fuel forever, or invest in saving fuel now. 10-year payback is nothing compared to 4 owners paying for a white elephant over 100 years.
: : : How can you run the water at the same temperature as the steam?
: : ++ Set the high limit to 225F. Steam or water inside a radiator at 215F provides the same heat output.
: ++++Won't the water be steam above 212F or not because of the system pressure or does it get superheated?
-- Water boils at 250 F when under 15 psig. It would only need get to that for 2 weeks out of the year with a water system. Heat loss depends on the cold temperatures, not all year in warmer weather. Steam ALWAYS has to reach 215F ALL heating season.
Can PEX take such hot water?
++ Yes, with proper support.
: : ++ When the new boiler is a water boiler it will be smaller right away as you'd size for the actual heat loss instead of total steam radiation plus 50%.
: ++++ Is the heat loss always less than the steam system size?
++ Yes, when there is enough steam radiation to heat the house to begin with.
What about rooms that haven't needed heat with the steam system such as an enclosed porch mudroom? I am concerned these may not get warm enough with hot water.
++ Reminds me of the old saw: The back porch radiator always worked before you repaired the system. (It's obvious the pipes were disconnected ages ago.)
C'mon now. Stop leg-pulling. Either the porch had a steam radiator to heat it or not. You are asking if a system can heat a house after you put a new addition on it. Of course not, you'd have to plan for whatever addition in advance.

History Of The Empire
History of the Empire
Long ago, before the Empire was founded, this continent was torn by a centuries-long war. Many kingdoms rose only to fail in the constant struggle for dominion
It is told that from amidst this relentless warfare emerged one benevolent king, who established the kingdom that was to become the foundation of our Empire.
Although it is now difficult to believe, humans and Gurak coexisted alongside one another in that kingdom of old. The humans with their knowledge and wealth, and the Gurak with their physical strength and technology, strove together to build a great civilization. However, as time passed, the humans, fearing the technology and strength possessed by the Gurak, sought to rule supreme. This evolved into an elitism that was to mark the beginning of the persecution of the Gurak.
The reigning king did not have the power to halt this social changes, and was ultimately forced to make the decision to banish the Gurak and reform the kingdom anew. Through these actions, he was able to bring further wealth to the humans and united the citizens in a common cause. He hoped only to reclaim the peace and order that had vanished from the kingdom.
Thus the Gurak were banished to a land in the far south, whilst those who had fought well in the conflict to expel the Gurak were granted land and status, in what would become the foundation of the nobility. The Kingdom expanded into a great Empire spanning the entire continent. Yet this peace would not last forever, history was doomed to repeat itself.
In time, the lords of the Empire grew to crave independence, leading to civil wars over political power and territory. Very soon, these many small conflicts grew into a great war, engulfing the entire Empire.
Yet this war came to an abrupt and unexpected end. The lord of Lazulis Island – founder of the great House of Arganan – built a weapon more powerful than any seen before or since. In the face of such a threat, the warring factions laid down their arms and sought peaceful negotiations with the Empire.
With such a weapon, it would have been a simple task to seize control of the entire continent. Yet the Arganan founder sought only peace. He used the weapon as a deterrent, nothing more, thus securing the stability and prosperity that our Empire has enjoyed ever since. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9738774299621582}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '29227', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:JORRF4YEXL3UDIZLCRJWQCBKI6ABNQYF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:814f570a-93d4-4f5c-b136-02b579ba3169>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 1, 19, 8, 23, 10), 'WARC-IP-Address': '18.233.154.220', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:YIDAZA2PD2W3R3LM3QLVSYP3J6TP3VL6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:9ac551c4-df63-465f-9904-4fd37ca57d02>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://thelaststory.wikidot.com/history-of-the-empire', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:8bb5c5de-7eb4-4235-8e02-61fb0aae75db>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '404', 'url': 'http://thelaststory.wikidot.com/history-of-the-empire', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-154-0-44.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.09756839275360107', 'original_id': '6b2460b14cf2652f914773dffff45cd1eb573777922dc0e5e8553663ce99fc6f'} |
GridTTY applet
The GridTTY applet acts like a non-scrolling 80x24 monospace text display. The cursor follows the mouse when the mouse is moving, allowing the user to position text anywhere in the screen space. As the user types, each non-control character is inserted into an 80x24 array and displayed on the screen at the current cursor position, which advances appropriately. The GridTTY applet understand the arrow keys, the backspace key, the return key, and the delete key, as well as simple text wrapping. The delete key has the traditional Unix interpretation of killing the text from the curent cursor position to the beginning of the line.
The GridTTY applet dynamically chooses an appropriately scaled font at run time, and maintains an internal representation of the page which allows the page to be redrawn in response to EXPOSE events. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9024409651756288}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '1464', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:EYQHN4G5YVXZZNB5N7HAQD33OP65EIAK', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a0ea2072-9c51-4477-a10a-e861b71cf109>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 14, 16, 0, 49), 'WARC-IP-Address': '18.85.21.41', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:I4YZEGOLWPJLFZM43FTVHQ2SCL7YO3TI', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:355c4490-4a9e-4245-9409-2e22a3bc21e4>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://acg.media.mit.edu/people/rich/mas962projects/ps2/p2/index.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:d96b1710-3df9-4306-9088-6dd829cc4c36>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '138', 'url': 'http://acg.media.mit.edu/people/rich/mas962projects/ps2/p2/index.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-81-186-35.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.7603853344917297', 'original_id': 'd083086b3c4070dcf147fda4877d7a0c11849032db72079144045480e65dd517'} |

Puerto Rico is where four centuries of Spanish Caribbean culture comes face to face with the American convenience store. This leads to some strange juxtapositions - parking lots and plazas, freeways and fountains, skyscrapers and shanties - but it's all apiece with the Caribbean's hybrid history.
Puerto Rico is 100 long by 35 miles wide and as a result of its geographical position in the center of the arc of the Antilles, Puerto Rico is essentially a crossroads of Hispanic and Anglo cultures. Despite it's very diverse influx of cultures, Puerto Rico has been a part of the United States since 1898 and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917.
Since the first humans came ashore thousands of years ago, the island that is now known as Puerto Rico has sheltered Indians, Spaniards, Africans and Anglos. The Spaniards had the earliest and greatest influence to the Island at their arrival in 1493. During their 400-year tenure the Spaniards laid the bedrock of the language and culture. They built cities and towns, fortresses and churches, lighthouses and roadways. They brought slaves from Africa to work in the fields, who, in turn, contributed the spice of their culture, enriching the language, music and diets.
Close to 4 million people live on the "Island of Enchantment," with more than a million in the greater San Juan metropolitan area alone. It is a vibrant, modern, bilingual, multicultural society, one that has been molded by Spanish, African, Indian and U.S. influences. Residents of Puerto Rico have much in common with their fellow Americans in the continental United States, yet they retain a decidedly Hispanic heritage.
The climate is as close to perfect as it can get, averaging 83°F (22.7°C) in the winter and 85°F (29.4°C) in the summer. In other words, it's always summer! The trade winds cool the coastal towns and the temperature decreases as you go up into the higher mountains.
Puerto Rico is in the Atlantic Time Zone, but does not observe Daylight Savings Time. The island uses standard U.S. electric current. European appliances require an adapter.

Book Review: Heading Out to Wonderful
I admit up front that I was not a huge fan of Robert Goolrick's previous novel The Reliable Wife, so I was a little reluctant to pick up his new one called Heading Out to Wonderful. Luckily I had a little prompting from Craig "Call me Peaches" Popelars at Algonquin, who told me that he thought I'd love it. As usual, he was right. Damn his eyes.
If you read enough books or watch enough movies, after a while you develop certain expectations built into certain plot points. Thus, in chapter one when a mysterious drifter rolls into a small Southern town with nothing but his truck and two suitcases, and when those two suitcases are filled with nothing but cash and a set of the sharpest butcher knives anyone has ever seen, you know that by the last chapter there's no way that everything can end well. Just a fact of fictional life.
That's essentially what happens in Goolrick's book, but he does stand certain of the reader's expectations on their heads, and that's what makes for an intense but heartfelt read. You know something bad is going to happen, but it's not precisely clear at first just what path the badness is going to take: will somebody end up butchered & barbecued, a la Fried Green Tomatoes? Will the evil spring from the handsome stranger, or will it be exacted upon him by the small, xenophobic town? Is the handsome stranger's intense relationship with the young boy more insidious than it appears on the surface or is it completely innocent?
Add in a curious five year-old narrator, a small town full of busybodies, a racial divide, old time religion, a near-death resuscitation, and a man who's so rich and so mean, he has to buy himself a pretty young mountain girl for a wife, and you've got the makings of a pretty great story.
The opening paragraphs are some of the best meditations on memory that I have ever read. The book is narrated by Sam, who is an old man looking back on what happened when the drifter came to town and his family took him in:
The thing is, all memory is fiction. You have to remember that. Of course, there are things that actually, certifiably happened, things where you can pinpoint the day, the hour, and the minute. When you think about it, though, those things mostly seem to happen to other people.
This story actually happened, and it happened pretty much the way I'm going to tell it to you. It's a true story, as much as six decades of remembering and telling can allow it to be true. Time changes things, and you don't always get everything right. You remember a little thing clear as a bell...while other things, big things even, come completely disconnected and no longer have any shape or sound. The little things seem more real than some of the big things....I'm not young any more, so sometimes I can't tell what things are the things I remember and what things are just things that other people told me They tell me things I did, and a lot of them I don't remember, but most people around here aren't liars, so I just go on and believe them, until it seems that I actually do remember the things they say.
This is not exactly a Southern gothic tale, though it has elements of that. Mostly it's the story of quiet people after the war, who are on the cusp of modernity and who know their simple, seemingly charmed way of life won't last forever. It's the story of otherwise good people who choose to let evil into their hearts, and the blinding love of a small boy for a man he calls Beebo, who instinctively knows something about protection but is too innocent to understand what happens around him. I highly recommend it. I've already passed my reading copy on to my husband and he's barely spoken to me since--that's how involved he is with it.

Awwww. Brogan often sticks his leg through the slats like that too except when he's awake and he does it, he twists so much trying to get it out that I have to go in and rescue him. He does it so much that when he whines/cries because of it, I can tell what he's done.

Grief Trophy
Is there a hierarchy to grief?
I’ve asked myself this question on more than one occasion.
I’ve been told many times that a death by suicide is different, that it’s somehow worse. I never really understood why.
Is my experience any worse or better than someone that has lost a loved one to a horrific accident?
Why are some deaths considered “the worst,” and some deaths seemingly don’t carry the same weight when compared to another. Why is it that a death of a child seemingly trumps the death of an elderly parent? Or when a devastating loss to a natural disaster is worse than losing everything to a broken relationship?
Who is to judge? And is it really a competition anyone wants to win?
There is no hierarchy and there is no “worst” pain. Every one of us has our own experience that is uniquely ours. Yours is yours and mine is mine.
We would not compare happiness to one another, so why do we feel entitled to hurt more because of our circumstances?
Let’s take off the judgemental grieving goggles and start looking at the healing process.
When we carry around the notion that we cannot feel better because no one will ever understand the pain that we are going through, it can be very isolating. Just as no one understand your pain, no one exactly understands your joy.
Why? It simple. It is not their experience, it is yours.
Grief that goes unhealed is raw and unrelenting.
The burden of carrying grief around with you because you believe you cannot heal it, you shouldn’t heal it or it’s all you have left...this is the worst grief.
There are no winners. You can heal from your pain and maybe even help others in the process.
And the first step is to put down the grief trophy. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9618923664093018}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '63838', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:5O4TFTNA5OEEOEJKVKH6YW2LBDJBCUNE', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:447962c6-8e72-4dfd-b932-07eba979c3db>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 7, 17, 9, 29, 7), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.49.23.144', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:WBNBMQGVV5DGQ5A2T7FF47UHMBHMPQSR', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:9c874386-1662-4a02-992e-97265c6c1f02>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.sueburhoecoach.com/blog/grief%20trophy', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:43e7c333-c420-4832-b662-98571dcb9c34>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '308', 'url': 'http://www.sueburhoecoach.com/blog/grief%20trophy', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-170-165-224.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-30\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for July 2018\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.9142546653747559', 'original_id': '6f6e73b66394ed39de4b2ed62833a1525654e17bb445f658bcf55b71a4f9f5d2'} |
Psalm 148 Explained
Psalm 148
All creation to praise the Lord
Psalm 148: Since nothing in heaven above or on earth below is left out in this praise psalm, it may appropriately be designated as the psalm of universal praise. Its structure is quite distinct: there are two calls to praise, each ending with a cause for praise. The psalmist first calls on the heavenly beings and the heavenly bodies to praise the Lord (verses 1-4), because of His creative power (verses 5-6). Then the psalmist issues a second call to praise addressed to the earthly beings and earthly substances (verses 7-12), because of the glory of the Lord and of His people (verses 13-14).
Verses 1-14 (see note on Psalm 146-1-10). There is a connection between the creation praising God and His involvement with Israel.
I. Heaven’s Praise (148:1-6).
A. Who? (148:1-4);
B. Why? (148:5-6).
II. Earth’s Praise (148:7-14).
A. Who? (148:7-12);
B. Why? (148:13-14).
Verses 1-14: A representative sample of God’s creation in the skies and heavens.
The universe praises God because God spoke it into being (148:5). God did not need an evolving series of events or cosmic explosions to create the “heavens” and “earth” and all their inhabitants. God spoke- and they were. In return, they praise Him.
Psalm 148:1 "Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights."
Or, hallelujah: Which, in some versions, and with some interpreters, is the title of the psalm. Expressive of the subject matter of it, the praise of the Lord. And is an exhortation of all creatures to it.
"Praise ye the Lord from the heavens": On the part of the heavens. Let those who dwell in heaven begin the song.
"Praise him in the heights": All that are in the heights. Meaning, in the highest parts of the universe, or the heavens.
There is nothing so high above that it should not praise the Lord. He is the Creator of even the heavens and all they contain, as well as the earth and all it contains. This praise is not just to be limited to the heavens but also should extend to the angels, and the cherubim, and seraphim. The archangels, as well, should praise Him. We know that one of the things that the angels do always in heaven, is cry Holy, Holy, Holy.
The Targum adds, who minister before him. The ministering spirits, the angels of Jehovah, even of Christ, who are his creatures, and at his command. And whom he sends forth to minister to others (Heb. 1:7). And great numbers there are of them, thousands and tens of thousands. Yea, an innumerable company; and all of them are under obligation to praise the Lord for their creation. For invisible spirits, as well as visible bodies. Even the celestial thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, were created by Christ (Col. 1:16). And for their preservation in their beings, and confirmation in that happy estate in which they were created. Being chosen and secured in Christ, the head of all principality and power, and so stood while others fell. And also for the various excellent powers, and faculties and properties, they are endowed with. They excel in strength, are possessed of great agility and swiftness and have a large share of knowledge, of things natural, civil, moral, spiritual, and evangelical. They are perfectly holy, and without sin; and happy in the enjoyment of God, in whose presence they always are, and whose face they continually behold. And will ever remain in this state, being immaterial and immortal beings. And as praise is their duty, it is their work. In this they were employed at the creation of all things, then these sons of God and morning stars sang and shouted for joy. And at the incarnation of Christ, when they worshipped him; at the conversion of every sinner. And frequently join the church in this service, and will be concerned in it to all eternity. And when the psalmist calls upon them to engage in it, it does not suppose that they were deficient in it, or backward to it. Or that he had any authority over them to require it of them. But it shows his great desire that the Lord might be praised by the noblest creatures, and in the best manner that could be. And how much his heart was in this work. And he does it to stir up himself and others the more unto it, from this consideration. That if those heavenly creatures should praise the Lord, then much more such as he and others, who were so very unworthy of the divine favors, and so much beholden to the Lord for them.
"Praise ye him, all his hosts": Meaning either the angels as before, sometimes called the hosts of heaven, and the heavenly host. There being armies and legions of them, and these encamping about the saints in a military way (see 2 Kings 19:35). Or else the celestial bodies, the sun, moon, and stars, as follow, sometimes called the host of heaven; and who are represented as militant (Gen. 2:1; 2 Kings 21:3).
The few glimpses that we have had into heaven, has also told of the praise and worship that goes on continually. Even the 24 elders bow down before Him and cry out in praise.
Psalm 148:3 "Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light."
The “sun” praises God in its brilliance all day long. And when the sun goes down, the “moon” rises and continues praising God all through the night. The light of His praise never goes out.
The sun and moon have been the object of pagan worship. They should not be worshipped, because they are God's creation. We spoke of the fact that they are fixtures that we see the Light in. They are not the source of Light. Jesus is the source of Light. He is the Light.
Psalm 148:4 "Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [be] above the heavens."
“Waters … above the heavens” (compare Gen. 1:7).
This is speaking of the vastness above the heavens. Even this vastness is in God's control. We know that there are at least three heavens, because Paul was carried to the third heaven.
Verses 5-6: He emphatically ascribes creation to God alone.
Psalm 148:5 "Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created."
Set forth the glory of the nature and perfections of God, and celebrate the praise of them. Even all celestial creatures, the angels, the hosts of heaven, the sun, moon, and stars; the heavens, and the heaven of heavens. And the waters above them; and that for the following reasons.
"For he commanded, and they were created": They are all his creatures, and therefore should praise him. He is the "Father of spirits", of angelic spirits, as well as the spirits of men. And the "Father of lights", of all the luminaries of the heavens. And he has made the heavens themselves, and all their hosts, and the firmament dividing the waters above and below. And all this by an almighty "fiat", at a word of command. He spoke, and they came into being at once (Heb. 12:9; James 1:17).
This is reason enough for all of these things to praise God, He is Creator. They owe their existence to their Creator.
Psalm 148:6 "He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass."
Jeremiah 31:35-37; 33:20-22 might be in mind in the sense that the certain, fixed order of creation was a witness to God’s unbreakable covenants with Abraham and David.
Not only did God create all of the heavenly things, but he established an order where they would stay in orbit and not fly off into space and burn up. They are like people here on the earth in that the life of the sun, moon, or stars is determined by the usefulness it has to God. When He tells the sun to stop shining, it will.
Psalm 148:7 "Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:"
Let his praise resound from all creatures on earth, and reach him in the highest heavens. This phrase comprehends all terrestrial beings afterwards particularly mentioned. All in the globe, consisting of land and water, all that arise from it, are upon it, or within it.
"Ye dragons, and all deeps": Either land dragons, or rather sea dragons. The water or sea being the proper place of them (Psalm 44:19). These, as cruel, as poisonous, and pernicious as they are, are made to honor and praise the Lord (Isa. 43:20). And such as are mystically signified by them, as Satan. Tyrannical and persecuting princes, and antichristian ones, as Pharaoh king of Egypt. Rome, Pagan and Papal; out of whom the Lord has or will get himself praise in the deliverance of his people from them, and in the destruction of them. And in the confessions they have been obliged to make of him (Rev. 12:3). These seem to be set in contrast with the angels. The word is used for the great whales the Lord made, which are thought to be the same with the "leviathan" of Job. Of whom so many things are said, which declare the power and wisdom of God in the formation of it (Gen 1:21). And these may be put for the innumerable creatures in the sea, which in their way show forth the praise and glory of God (Psalm 102:24). As "all deeps" do. Deep waters, especially the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants of them. Where the wonders of God are to be seen, and give occasion to those that go down to the sea in ships to praise his name (Psalm 107:23).
Even the devil himself, is a creation of God. When the praise is commanded to go forth, it does not even exclude the evil things of the earth. The devil will operate his little lying, cheating, deceiving ministry here on the earth, until the Lord says it is enough. We read that Satan will be locked up in chains for one thousand years and will not be able to deceive during that time. The praises from up in the heaven can join with the praises floating up from the earth. This just means that all of God's creation will praise Him.
Psalm 148:8 "Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word:"
The “wind” and the “Word” praise God. The word wind in the Old Testament Scriptures is the same word translated “Spirit”. There are two things which without, none can ever come to know Jesus Christ: The Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
“Fulfilling His word”: Another way of saying that God sovereignly oversees weather.
A strange phenomenon happened in the days of Pharaoh, because God commanded it to. Fire mixed with hail fell on the Egyptians. These two elements generally are not together. This just shows more clearly that all elements must obey God. In the snow and vapors, we see opposite elements cooperating again. Vapor comes from heat and snow from cold. The winds must obey His voice, as well. They blow, when He gives them permission to blow.
Psalm 148:9 "Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:"
Which are originally formed by the Lord, and set fast by his power and strength. These are the highest parts of the earth, and are very ornamental and useful. They include all in them and upon them. The trees and herbage that grow upon them, gold, silver, brass, and iron in them. All very beneficial to mankind, and afford matter of praise to God for them (see Isa. 55:12).
"Fruitful trees, and all cedars": Trees bearing fruit are the fig trees, pomegranates, vines, and olives, with which the land of Canaan abounded. And such as bear lemons, oranges, plums, pears, apples, cherries, etc. Which produce fruit for the use, pleasure, and delight of man, and so a means of praising God. And "cedars", the trees of the Lord which he hath planted. Though they bear no fruit, yet very useful in building, and were of great service in the temple at Jerusalem. And which are put for all others of like usefulness, and minister just occasion of praise (see Psalm 96:12).
We seldom think of something as big as a mountain stopping to praise God. We do know, that when the presence of God was on the mountain the mountain quaked. Fruit trees bear fruit, because they are commanded of God to do so. Even the cedar, which is thought to be the strongest tree in the forest, must praise its Creator.
Psalm 148:10 "Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:"
Wild and tame. The beasts of the field, and the cattle on a thousand hills, which are all the Lord's. Made, supported, and supplied by him. He gives them their food and drink, which they wait for and receive from him. And in their manner, praise him for the same. And these are useful to men for labor or for food. And therefore, should praise the Lord for them (see Isa. 43:20).
"Creeping things, and flying fowl": Of "creeping things" some belong to the sea and others to the land (see Psalm 104:25). And there is not the least creature on the sea or land, the meanest reptile or worthless worm, but is of such exquisite workmanship as gives praise and glory to the Creator. And so does every fly and every insect, as well as "flying fowl" of the greatest size. As the eagle, vulture, etc. These, though they fly in the air, had their original from the waters (Gen. 1:20).
This is just saying that even the animals that were thought to be ferocious on the earth, are part of God's creation and must praise Him, as well. It may soar above the earth like a bird, but it cannot soar above God.
Psalm 148:11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:"
"Princes, and all judges of the earth": Those of exalted rank and those high in authority. This is proper in itself considered, as they are people like other people. And proper as an example to the rest. None of any rank are exempt from the obligation to praise God; none are cut off from the privilege.
The kings and judges of this earth who have much authority, will someday stand before the Judge of all the earth and be judged themselves. They too, are part of God's creation and must praise Him. They have been placed in a place of authority on the earth, because God ordained it. They will be dealt with the same as the rest of God's creation.
Psalm 148:12 "Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:"
Those in the morning of life, just entering on their career or just forming their character. With ardor, elasticity, cheerfulness and hope; let them consecrate all this to God. Let all that there is in the buoyancy of their feelings, in the melody of their voices, and in their ardor and vigor, be employed in the praise and the service of God.
"Old men, and children": Old men, with what remains of life. And children, with all that there is of joyousness. Let all unite in praising God. Life, as it closes, life, as it begins, let it all be devoted to God.
There is no male or female with God, because He deals in the spirit and not in the flesh. It is only in the flesh that we are male and female. There is neither young or old with God either. The time element in heaven is just one eternal day. All of God's creation must praise Him. Mankind who is made in God's image, should be even more apt to praise Him. Christians even more than sons of men, should praise Him. He is our Father, and we have been adopted into His family.
Verses 13-14: Two reasons are given for earth’s praise:
(1) His name alone is exalted in heaven (148:13); and
(2) He has exalted Israel on earth (148:14).
His nature and perfections, and celebrate the glory of them. And his wonderful works, and the blessings of his goodness, both of providence and grace. Even all the above creatures and things, celestial and terrestrial, for the following reasons.
"For his name alone is excellent": The name of the Lord is himself, who is excellent in power, wisdom, goodness, truth, and faithfulness. And in all other perfections of his nature. His works, by which he is known, are excellent. Both of nature and of grace, and proclaim his glory. His Son, in whom his name is, and by whom he has manifested himself, is excellent as the cedars. And so are all his precious names by which he is called. And such is the Gospel, by which he is notified to the world. Nay, the Lord's name is alone excellent. All creature excellences are nothing in comparison of him, in heaven or in earth, those of angels and men. And therefore, should be praised by all, and above all.
"His glory is above the earth and heaven": There is the glory of celestial and terrestrial bodies, which differ. The glory of the sun, moon, and stars, and of one star from another. But the glory of the divine Being, the Creator of them, infinitely exceeds the glory of them all. His glorious Majesty resides above heaven and earth. The heaven is the throne be sits upon, and the earth the footstool he stands on. And Christ, who is sometimes called his glory, and is the brightness of it (Psalm 63:2). Is exalted above every name on earth, and is made higher than the heavens, and so is exalted above all blessing and praise (see Psalm 8:1).
Now we see another very good reason to praise Him. LORD in this, is Jehovah. There is none greater. There is none even close to as good. His glory exceeds all others in heaven, in earth, and under the earth. If there is any other place that exists, He is above that, too. He is God. He is Highest Supreme God.
Psalm 148:14 "He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD."
“The horn”: Refers in general to the strength and prosperity of the nation, which became the cause of praise for Israel. This suggests that Israel will enjoy better times than in the past, e.g., during David’s and Solomon’s reigns or after returning from the Babylonian Captivity.
“A people near unto him”: Compare also “My chosen people” (Isa. 43:20), and “His own possession” (Psalm 135:4).
Notice that we should not lift our self up, He lifts us up. He lifted us up so high that we are His family. The horn symbolizes strength; He is our strength. The praise that we lift to Him should be continuous. It should never end. We of all of God's creation, are the most blessed. He sent us a Deliverer, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Praise Ye the Lord. Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Spiritual Israel and Physical Israel Praise with all that is within you.

XI. Tommy Grows Too Careless
By the time summer was nearly over, Tommy Fox was much bigger than he had been in the spring. So many things had happened, and he had learned so much, that he began to be quite bold. And he had grown so saucy that his mother often had to scold him. Tommy had fallen into the bad habit of going about calling all the forest-people names; and in that way he had gained for himself the ill-will of all the creatures who lived near the foot of Blue Mountain. It interfered with his hunting, because whenever he started out to get something to eat, as soon as they saw him the forest-people told one another that he was coming. Old Mr. Crow especially was the worst of all. He was forever calling "Stop, thief!" after Tommy Fox; and then he would haw-haw in a manner that was frightfully annoying. In fact, he made matters so unpleasant that after a time Tommy began to roam far down the valley, along Swift River, where he tried to catch fish. The fish, at least, couldn't call him names, and there was some satisfaction in that fact, even if he hadn't much luck as a fisherman.
And just for excitement Tommy began to worry Farmer Green's Spot. He delighted in barking at Spot. And Spot would always stop what he was doing and rush pell-mell after Tommy Fox.
Then Tommy would skip away with a laugh. First he always ran for the river, and jumped from one stone to another, and waded where the water was shallow.
Then he would dash off through the meadows, leaving so crooked a trail behind him that when Spot at last found the place where Tommy had left the river, he never could follow him very far.
But one day Tommy stumbled upon Spot quite by accident. There was no wind at all that day, to bring any scent to Tommy's sharp nose. And he suddenly found that Spot was right in front of him, between him and the river.
Tommy Fox turned and ran. He laughed, too; because he felt quite sure that he could outwit old Spot. And he leaped and twisted and turned about, and made so many circles, that he felt sure Spot couldn't follow him.
Yes--Tommy felt so safe that he stopped running and was trotting slowly along through the field in which he lived. He was almost home, when he heard a noise behind him. He looked around and to his great surprise there was Spot almost upon him.
There was no time to lose. There was only one thing Tommy could do. The door of his mother's house was only a short distance off and Tommy made for it. Luckily, he managed to reach it. Once inside, he could hear the dog Spot barking in the opening. But he knew that Spot was too big to follow him.
Although Tommy was very glad to be safe at home, he was worried. For now Spot know where he and his mother lived; and they would have to move. Tommy was afraid his mother would be very angry with him for being so stupid as to let Spot follow him. But he couldn't help it now.
Meanwhile, old Spot continued to bark, and scratch at the door of Tommy's home. But at last he stopped. And all was still.
Tommy wondered where his mother was. She was not at home. And he wanted to see her, even if he was afraid that she would punish him. For Tommy did not know exactly what to do. He did not dare go out for fear Spot might be lying in wait for him. So Tommy stayed there. And still his mother did not come home.

„Topkapi Palce and Galata Tower“

Über dieses Bild:
One of the most astounding and popular places to visit in ?stanbul is Topkapi Palace, the symbolic and political centre of the Ottoman Empire in between the 15th and 19th centuries. It stands on the tip of land where the Golden Horn, the Sea of Marmara and the ?stanbul strait come together, and is a maze of buildings centered around a series of courtyards, typical of Islamic tradition. Such is the complexity of each building, it will take many hours in order to be explored properly.

For some time now, Stefan Molyneux has been posting countless new photographs of himself with baby Isabella on FreeDomain Radio.
That’s really surprising, when you consider that most FDR True Believers condemn the pride their parents showed in them. They’ve been told that it was all selfishly motivated, something the parents were taking credit for. You know, just another example of parental narcissism. (Hey, I just report the facts—don’t blame me if they don’t make sense.)
True Believers have accepted with all their hearts the Molyneux revelation that “nearly all parents are horribly bad.” That is, of course, until Molyneux came along, sired Izzy, and is now blazing the trail of perfect parenthood for all of us. (Thanks, man!)
And so Izzy has become a symbol. To the True Believers, a symbol of what the world might be like if everyone had really good parents. A symbol for their own lost childhoods that became instead the damaged “inner child” they must now carry around inside, the child unforgivably ill-used by their own horrible parents. A symbol for the children they hope to bring into the world.
A symbol for the future.
Izzy has been exposed to the world enough, so I’ll just gently tiptoe around a reality, a cynical little reality almost obscured by all those symbols. By constantly posting Izzy’s pictures, using her as little more than an advertisement for himself and his own perfect parenthood, using her as part of his promotion of FDR, Molyneux is simply exploiting his poor daughter in a way his True Believer‘s parents never even dreamed of.
But hey, good marketing is where you find it, right?

Doing the right thing: a history of California's marriage laws
I was all set to write a post about the Cable Act (will return to this in a moment) when I heard the great news last night that the California Supreme Court overruled a previous ban prohibiting gay marriage.
[This is Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin, who were joined as "spouses for life" at SF City Hall on February 12, 2004. Unfortunately, their union was nullified in August 2004 by the California Supreme Court. But thanks to yesterday's ruling, their marriage will once again be validated by the State of California.]
When Gavin Newsom was interviewed on CNN and asked why the Supreme Court could do this when the majority of voters in California had approved a state law in 2000 codifying marriage as being between a man and a woman, Newsom invoked California's anti-miscegenation laws of the 19th and early 20th C. and quite astutely noted that if Californians were polled in 1948 about whether they approved of marriage between people of two different races, a majority would have voted in favor of prohibiting miscegenation/inter-racial marriage. Yet clearly history has shown that the will of the majority does not always make things right, and that legally the RIGHT thing to do was to abolish such laws--to allow people to marry whoever they want.
And this is SO TRUE.
Once upon a time, there were anti-miscegenations laws that prohibited marriage between people of different races. Actually, it was more specific than that. Most anti-miscegenation laws didn't really care if African Americans married Latinos or if American Indians married Asian Americans (or, if we are going to keep to the language of the 19th and early 20th C., they didn't care if blacks married Mexicans or if Navajos married Chinese). Instead, the majority of laws were specifically designed to ensure white purity and to punish any transgressions of white Americans crossing the color line.
One of the most shocking results of this adherence to the color line was in the Cable Act (1922-1936):
The Cable Act specifies that any U.S.-born woman marrying a "person ineligible for citizenship" would automatically lose her U.S. citizenship. In a marriage terminated by divorce or death, a Caucasian woman could regain her citizenship, but a Nisei woman could not, because she was "of a race ineligible for citizenship."
The important point to note in this quote is that the ONLY race and hence only aliens "ineligible for citizenship" were Asian immigrants--which in this time period meant predominantly Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indian people. Thus, our country's earliest anti-miscegenation laws specifically targeted Asians--using not just the Cable Act but anti-miscegenation laws to prevent Asians and whites from marrying.
Thankfully, as Mayor Newsom pointed out, the Supreme Court of California was wise enough in 1948 to realize how unlawful anti-miscegenation laws are:
In Perez vs. Sharp, the California Supreme Court rules against anti-miscegenation laws, stating that they were based on racial distinctions that were "by their very nature, odious to a free people."
[For more on a timeline of events that influenced inter-racial marriages, click on this link, which is the same site that I found the quotations above.]
And if it hadn't been for the repeal of The Cable Act in 1936 and California's anti-miscegenation laws in 1948 (and the repeal of the nation's anti-miscegenation laws in 1967), we never would have a family like Jon and Kate plus eight (you have to imagine that in the mid-1930s this image would have scared the hell out of some folks. Actually, I'm sure this image scares the hell out of some folks now).
Most rational folk take for granted inter-racial marriages. Even people who wouldn't necessarily want their son/daughter to marry across the racial divide would be hesitant to turn back Loving vs. Virginia, understanding marriage to be a private affair between two consenting adults.
And I hope that one day in the not so distant future, this is the attitude our society will have about same-sex marriage. That the whole idea that once-upon-a-time people actually tried to pass laws restricting marriage on the basis of sexual orientation or gender was LUDICROUS and THANK GOODNESS we no longer live in the late 20th C. when such draconian and antiquated ideas about love and marriage were in place.

I have had an opportunity to read thru your blog...well...this first entire page. I am bi-racial (Chinese/Black), my husband is bi-racial (Filipino/Black) and my children...are OUR little mixed race americans...
I love the insight in your writing style and I will definitely have to add this site to my blogroll. I notice as I've gotten older, culture and heritage have been playing a larger roll in my life and the lives of my children.
Thank you for a job well done...

While killing time at work on Thursday, I read several articles about the California ruling. I never understood how a same-sex couple - let alone a same-sex couple deciding to get married - actually affects the daily habits of 'traditional' couples and mindsets to begin with. Your post gives much more insight to how the state and Gavin Newsom found the ban unconsitutuional and ever-so-wrong to begin with.
I see it this way, my fellow straight folks haven't done such a great job with the sanctity of marriage. There are plenty of homosexual couples would would probably honor those vows better anyway.
I wonder now if my home state will follow suit, considering the contrasting cultures between those upstate and downstate (NYC and the surrounding areas).

That girl tam,
Thanks for stopping by, for leaving a comment, and for the compliment--I blush!
Please feel free to leave as many comments as you like. I find your observation about kids and culture to be really true.
I really don't know where the fear/anxiety and downright hatred is coming from. I mean, as you so astutely note, it's not like straight folks have been doing such a stellar job with marriage. The truth is, marriage is HARD and requires a great leap of faith.
It also seems like if anti-gay marriage groups want to make the argument that same-sex unions will lead to the instability of society, it is completely illogical--because marriage as an institution is one of the most conservative, traditional, and entrenched institutions we have. If we want to stabilize society, we should insist that EVERYONE be married.
Of course, it begs the question: just what does a stable society look like? Certainly one in which we are waging war overseas, levels of poverty rise, educational opportunities are shut off for certain constituents, doesn't seem very stable, and I'm not sure we can pin this on gay people wanting to get married...
Eastern Reflections said...
Crazy isn't it? The government setting rules about who is worthy to marry and who is not? And that it still happens today!
Lebanese women have been demanding more rights for themselves and their children b/c Lebanon has a law that any Lebanese woman marrying a foreigner not only loses HER citizenship, but her children aren't considered citizens. Lebanese men though can marry foreign women and their children are considered Lebanese. Many other Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia have the same law (A college professor of mine who was from Iran was married to a Saudi woman, but her government didn't recognize their marriage as valid, so they live outside her home country)
Oman has a law in which their citizens can only legally marry other Gulf citizens, and even then you need permission (But from what I hear, it's not really enforced...but if an Omani citizen marries a foreigner, they may have difficulty finding a government job)....
Sadly, it still exists in other countries....I hope a new precedent is set in Lebanon and Lebanese women keep fighting, and it will inspire other women to demand more rights from their governments. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '14', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9717952013015748}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '92351', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:K6ORVUKIY7T76NDLO4ZMG7ZZXCXACU2T', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:52269728-c03a-497b-86f2-4446fbbaa540>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 12, 14, 12, 10, 5), 'WARC-IP-Address': '172.217.3.33', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:A4S4O736R7MWUDRGWG4K4MUARV6SHMEF', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:8370b420-5ad1-4f7c-aa40-3bfac8fcadb3>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://mixedraceamerica.blogspot.com/2008/05/doing-right-thing-history-of.html?showComment=1211032680000', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:6863f8b0-5212-4ff4-adbc-0dadd562daf0>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1313', 'url': 'http://mixedraceamerica.blogspot.com/2008/05/doing-right-thing-history-of.html?showComment=1211032680000', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-51\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for December 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin ([email protected])\r\nhostname: ip-10-81-186-35.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.1208067536354065', 'original_id': '86d6d630f04985713a806bb5885eec69085d45f76cbc1774712c37d6cb2a6fdc'} |
Upgrade Kibana from 4.4.1 to 4.5.3
(bowow) #1
I currently have the Kibana version 4.4.1. I noticed that a new version has been released that fixes the tile map visualization (4.5.3). I want to upgrade to that while still keeping the dashboards and indexes. What are the steps to upgrade?
I could not find anything in the docs.
(Mark Walkom) #2
How did you install KB to start with?
(bowow) #3
I used the yum command to install the rpm package..Does the upgrade follows the same process?
(Mark Walkom) #4
Yep, just update the repos to point to 4.5.

Libya rescued 10,000 migrants this year, says Germany
Libyan coast guards have saved some 10,000 migrants at sea since the start of this year, according to German authorities. The figure was provided by the foreign ministry during a debate in parliament over what the Left party said were "inhumane conditions" of returns of migrants to Libya. Libyan coast guards are trained by the EU to stop migrants crossing to Europe.

The Debt Crisis
Countries in black are already in debt crisis. red denotes a strong risk, orange denotes a real risk.
[PROUT Globe] – The term ”debt crisis” describes the situation where countries are unable to pay their foreign debt. Topically, African and Latin American countries have been compelled to spend the major part of income from their exports on paying off foreign debt, forcing them to take new loans to pay old loans. The result: the more they pay the more they owe, and the less income from exports goes towards internal development in those countries.
At present, one in four of the world’s countries are in a debt crisis or near to it. These 50 countries total 436 million people. As clear from recent developments in Europe, one country’s debt crisis affects its neighbours, other countries in the region, and directly or indirectly the rest of the world. In this way, the continents of Africa and Latin America are particularly hard hit by the debt crisis, which continues to affect the entire world as well.
Under exploitative capitalism, massive debt does not equal debt crisis. The Economist's debt clock displays a running account of accumulating national debt all over the world. It indicates that the greatest debtor nations are not those who are in or near debt crisis. Rather, most of the countries in the debt crisis zone are poor and have relatively little debt compared to rich countries.
Hence, under exploitative capitalism huge debt = wealth and power.
Debt crisis is a vicious circle that needs to be stopped and set right. PROUT suggests the following remedies for ending the debt crisis:
• A system of basic protection of local economies should consist of both prioritising local produce and prohibiting exports of local raw materials.
• Further on, a system of cooperative free trade should be evolved to remove import- and export duties on consumable commodities, but only once basic self-sufficiency is attained – i.e. countries that are basically self-sufficient may engage in such free trading. This means that overproduction in one place can be consumed by other countries.
• Barter (exchange of goods) and not purchases by money transactions should be the preferred basis of trade among those basically self-sufficient countries.
As is evident from the above, PROUT is only possible in the absence of exploitative capitalism.

Boo Government
I spend too much time on Reddit. I freely admit this. I’ve curated my feed to focus primarily on writing, but with plenty of forays into other topics like Art Deco design features, astrophotography, history, retrofuturism, and artwork to inspire my stories, like Imaginary Technologies. I’ve also been a long-time subscriber to the Marvel forum, since I love all things Marvel comic related, especially the recent crop of movies. So when a recent post went off about how the Avengers got jobbed by the Sokovia accords since the government had done at least as much damage to the world as the Avengers had, I joined in. I decided to do a break down of each movie and how much the government was to blame for the death and destruction rained down about the civilian population.
Note: it turns out to be hard to cleanly delineate between the “Boo, government!” and “Way to go, government!” ratings. Sometimes the government took an action off screen that led to the results on screen. Sometimes their actions were more overt and less obvious. But I’ll attempt to explain my logic as I go through each of the man movies that Marvel has released as we examine the theory that “Government is more destructive than the super heroes they want to control.”
Ironman: in this movie, an industrialist who sells military equipment creates his own suit of armor after stealing Tony’s arc reactor, causing damage to a Stark facility as well as several local traffic incidents, and quite probably several sets of soiled underwear. I want to say “Boo, government!” here because of how other Stark weapons often ended up in the hand of foreign armies, but that really was Obadiah who took action without government authorization.
RESULT: No government action caused damage. “Yeah government!”
The Incredible Hulk: (note: this film IS part of the MCU canon, and you can’t say otherwwise, na na, neener, neener). General Ross makes mistakes that leads to a South American bottling facility, an American college campus, and eventually a big swath of Harlem, New York, being trashed. He is clearly working for the government to try and capture the hulk, but had he not taken action, nothing would have been damaged.
RESULT: Government activity totally confirmed. “Boo government!”
Iron Man 2: A mean industrialist working under government contract gets his hands on the arc reactor design and they trash the Stark expo.This is done with clear government authority, who wants the technology under their control.
RESULT: Government activity confirmed, though back stage. “Boo government!” Though mostly not your fault I’m sure that the industrialist turned out to be a ninny. Still, BOO!
Thor: Thor arrives on Midguard (aka, Earth, aka, “The planet that gets its ass kicked often by intergalactic assholes”) and has to fight a metal monster sent from Asgard to kill him, resulting in a small town being devastated. However, the government has nothing to do with any of this… unless you count Odin as government, and Loki as government when Odin is temporarily incapacited. Local earth government, though, is what we are concerned with here, and their only action is to build a nice roof over Mjolnir to keep it warm and dry when it rains.
RESULT: Government not responsible, and quite helpful. “Yeah government!”
Captain America: Well, it was set in WWII. I suppose this is ALL about bad governments doing bad things to good people.
RESULT: Government totally responsible for the death of millions and turning Cap into a cap-cicle. “Boo government!”
The Avengers: It’s the government’s activities in researching the Tesseract that brings Loki to earth. Later, the world security council totally thinks its an awesome idea to nuke one of earth’s biggest cities to stop an invasion, which the Avengers manage to prevent. I mean, that’s a TOTAL douche move.
RESULT: Government fairly responsible here for the results, even if the invasion wasn’t their idea. “Boo government!”
Iron man 3: Killian’s research is not funded by government action. Therefore, I can’t really see much government fault here except James Rhodey’s actions as the Iron Patriot, which he wasn’t always in control of.
RESULT: Government not really responsible. “Yeah government!”
Thor:Dark World: Galatic elves shitting all over the universe are… really stupid. But the damage done to Greenwich, England, had nothing to any local earth government actions.
RESULT: Government not responsible. “Yeah government!”
Winter Soldier: Oh fuck, the government just TOTALLY trashed a big portion of DC and rained death and destruction on millions, and was about to straight up murderize millions with their uber new flying death ships. Sure, blame Hydra, but it was you government folks who let them sneak in under your noses. FAIL! Bigly! You let Trump in, and this is… I mean HYDRA… oh never mind, they’re pretty much the same thing.
RESULT: Government totally and awesomely responsible. “Boo government!”
Guardians of the Galaxy: No local earth government involvement here. We are all Groot.
RESULT: Government not responsible. “Yeah, government!”
Avengers: Ultron: Alright, this one requires a more thorough breakdown. By now the Avengers are clearly working on their own with no SHIELD oversight (since SHIELD shit the bed bigtime in Winter Soldier). Tony creates a weirdo murder bot who goes on to star in Syntax, Linux, and Video Tapes. Okay, maybe not. Well anyways, the murder bot weirdo gets the bright idea of dropping a whole city on the planet from a great height (which, I have to admit, is quit possible the most stupid AND awesome idea of a super villain ever) which will wipe out life on earth. The remnants of SHIELD do show up at the end to help save Sokovians, so… good? Mostly? We’ll go with that.
RESULT: No real government involvement in the murder bot plot. “Yeah government!”
Ant-man: The government backed the original ant-man research, through SHIELD (of course, those fuck ups). That research was later recruited by a rogue scientist, who hoped to sell it to other goverments and/or crazy ass TRUMP… um, HYRDRA… people, depending on who had the most money. Government? Not government? Meh… I’m going with government.
RESULT: Tenuous government connection. “Boo government!”
Captain America: Civil War: and now we reach the accords, so I think we can stop keeping tally from here on out… but where would the fun be in that? Here, once the accords are in place, Tony and his team are acting for them, with their express permission. Thus, all the damage after the first half of the film is directly attributable to government forces, and the airport takes the brunt of the damage. Ho, ho, ho!
RESULT: Government responsible for all the damage in the second half. “Boo government!”
Doctor Strange: There was no real government involvement here, and no lasting damage was done thanks to the deus ex machina of the time stone.
RESULT: Government not responsible. “Yeah, government!”
Guardians 2: no government involvement here except for some wacky genetically superior and mondo stupid alien cultures. Golden people are DUMB! Also note, EGO is a real mysogynistic creep with icky needs. Bleck.
RESULT: No government (local earth, not dumb gold people) involvement. “Yeah, government!”
Spider-man: Homecoming: Hmmm… I’m going to let the government off the hook since they didn’t directly get involved and were actively trying to protect the alien technology from outside use, although their lack of any real security led to the Vulture getting all that juicy tech.
RESULT: No government involvement except stupidity. “Yeah, government!”
Thor: Ragnorak: Almost totally in outerspace. No local earth involvement other than kicking old folks out of their group home, you bastards.
RESULT: Minor government involvement in treating old folks like they’re dispensable. “Meh, government.” (Fine, fine… “Yeah, government!”)
Black Panther: The CIA was involved heavily, and as king of Wakanda, T’Challa himself is government. Therefore, much of the damage here can be attributed to the actions and poor choices of government. Yes, the whole thing is a vengeance story, but who started the whole vengeance line? T’Challa’s daddy, that’s who. Thanks Uncle James!
RESULT: Government involvement. “Boo, government!”
Avengers: Infinity War: I don’t really see any government involvement here, and most of this takes place off-world anyways, so there’s limited damage to earth.
RESULT: No government involvedment. “Yeah, government!”
“Boo, government!” – 8
“Yeah, government!” – 11
Well government gets off the hook, although just barely. And if you look at everything up to the accords, “Boo, government!” takes the lead, 7 to 6. So I’mma just gonna say, “Boo government!” You did as much damage as the Avengers and were equally responsible. Why don’t you govern yourself, you creeps?
See? I really waste too much time on Reddit….

Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater Birthday Cakes
Happy Birthday Micah!!!
Micah had his birthday last month and he LOVES Cars! I was trying to figure out how to make him a lightning McQueen cake and Tow Mater cake that didn't take a ton of time. The idea of a Rice Krispy Cake came to mind. So I used cocoa krispies to form Mater and fruity pebble krispies to form Mcqueen. They turned out pretty well! I was excited that when the guests showed up, they at least knew who they were ;)
Here's some of the party crew! We started with some scooter races.
I made some ice favors. It's a fun activity for a hot summer day. They had a bunch of fun with this! You fill up a balloon with water and add a small toy or party favor to it. Then you freeze it over night. Before you are ready to play, you cut away the balloon and you have an ice ball with a small toy inside! You have to try to melt the ice ball to get to the toy. After handling the ice to cut away the balloons, my hands were hurting, so I knew the kids hands would be too. So I added some water to our baby pool for them to push the ice around in to help melt it.
Next, they had to transfer water from one big bucket to another with a cup.
Our youngest guest even enjoyed this game!!!
And we sent them on a candy scavenger hunt in the backyard!
Make a Wish!
All the gang eating their Rice Krispy cake!
Buddies since birth!
Micah enjoying some birthday goodies!
The party turned out great! The weather was great! And I can't believe I have a five year old little curly head boy!

How do they make my
water drinkable?
What really happens?
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to walk down to the neighborhood pond, river, or lake and simply drink the water with no fear of getting sick? Unfortunately, almost all sources of water carry microbes, chemicals, or bacteria that can be harmful to humans if it is drunk. Therefore, water has to be treated with a very well defined process in order for it to be considered safe water by the EPA. What are these steps?
1. COAGULATION & SEDIMENTATION: One of the first steps in most conventional water purification processes is the addition of chemicals to assist in the removal of particles suspended in water. The water is treated so the particles in the water will clump together and settle to the bottom.
2. FILTRATION: Once the large clumps are removed, the water passes through a series of filters to remove the smaller particles in the water. Cross flow membrane filtration removes both salts and dissolved organic matter, using a permeable membrane that only permeates the contaminants. The remaining concentrate flows along across the membrane and out of the system and the permeate is removed as it flows along the other side of the membrane.
3. DISINFECTION: Finally, the water is treated with a disinfectant, like chlorine, that kills all bacteria and other harmful microbes in the water that are harmful to humans. Disinfection is one of the most important steps in the purification of water from cities and communities. It serves the purpose of killing the present undesired microorganisms in the water; therefore disinfectants are often referred to as biocides.
4. DISTRIBUTION: Once the water is treated, it is then piped throughout the town, city, or municipality where it eventually makes its way into the plumbing of each individual home.
