Giro d'Italia 2016 Favourites stage 6: Escapees or GC-riders in first mountain stage
Stage 6 is dominated by two irregular climbs at around 18 kilometres. The finish is at the top of the last one, so in order to win you have to be a hell of a climber. Cyclingstage.com takes a look at riders with the necessary skills. (Slideshow route/profile)
What's it going to be? Are the GC-guys going at it head-to-head in the first uphill battle? At the same time the course is perfect for a bunch of escapees to make it till the end. In the first mountain stage of last year's Giro Jan Polanc was the last survivor of an early break to solo to victory, while on the lower slopes of the closing climb GC-guys Contador, Aru and Porte put some time into their opponents.
A likewise scenario is obvious and the likes of Giovanni Visconti, Alessandro De Marchi, Matej Mohoric, Tim Wellens, Davide Formolo, Stefano Pirazzi and Przemyslaw Niemiec will be eyeing up their chances to be in the break.
If the escapees are reeled in time, it will be up to the GC-guys and we will know early on who is in shape and who isn't. Vincenzo Nibali is the man to beat, after all he is the only rider in the 2016 Giro d'Italia who has victories in all three Grand Tours under his belt. Furthermore, he is the only rider who did win a mountainous multi-day stage race this year – namely the Tour of Oman.

Idaho killings: Questions the affidavit still doesn't answer
by: Andrew Dorn
Updated: Jan 7, 2023 / 10:20 AM EST
(NewsNation) – The probable cause affidavit released Thursday laid out in meticulous detail how authorities linked 28-year-old suspect Bryan Kohberger to the Nov. 13 deaths of four University of Idaho students, but many questions remain unanswered.
The arrest document did not explain why the suspect allegedly committed the crime, nor did it state if there was a connection between Kohberger and the four victims.
Here's what we still don't know.
The suspect's motive
While it offered a detailed account of the steps authorities took to identify Kohberger, Thursday's affidavit (which can be read in full here) revealed little about the suspect's motive.
Early in the investigation, NewsNation reported that one of the victims, Kaylee Goncalves, suffered "significantly more brutal" injuries than her best friend Madison Mogen, who was found in the same room.
That detail led many to believe Goncalves was the target of the attack ,but it's still unclear whether she, or any of the victims, were specifically targeted.
Idaho victim's father says he'll face suspect in court
One piece of information the affidavit did offer was that Kohberger — a 28-year-old criminal justice graduate student — posted a Reddit survey asking participants to provide information in order to "understand how emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime," according to the affidavit.
But at this point, any hypothesis directly linking the killings to Kohberger's studies is speculation.
The coroner also determined that there was no sign of sexual assault.
Whether Kohberger knew the victims
We don't know if any of the victims were targeted and we don't know if the alleged killer knew any of them prior to the attack.
We do know that Kohberger's phone was in the area around the crime scene "on at least twelve occasions" prior to Nov. 13, 2022, according to the arrest document.
Authorities said all of those occasions, except for one, occurred in the late evening and early morning hours of their respective days.
In one instance, on August 21, 2022, Kohberger's phone was near the Moscow, Idaho, residence from 10:34 p.m. to 11:35 p.m., according to the affidavit.
It's possible the suspect's previous visits to the neighborhood were done as a way to stake out the area before the attack, the affidavit says.
"I also know that on numerous occasions, subjects will surveil an area where they intend to commit a crime prior to the date of the crime," investigators wrote. "Depending on the circumstances, this could be done a few days before or for several months prior to the commission of a crime."
Why roommate waited to call police
Perhaps the most shocking piece of information to come out of the affidavit was that a surviving roommate told investigators she saw the alleged killer before returning to her room and locking the door without calling police.
After hearing multiple voices in the house around 4 a.m., as well as someone crying, the roommate opened her door and "saw a figure clad in black clothing and a mask that covered the person's mouth and nose walking towards her," according to investigators.
The man then walked past her as she stood in a "frozen shock phase," the affidavit says. The witness described the figure as "5'10" or taller, male, not very muscular, but athletically built with bushy eyebrows."
The roommate then locked herself in her room.
The first 911 call was placed around seven and a half hours later at 11:58 a.m.
"On November 13th, the surviving roommates summoned friends to the residence because they believed one of the second-floor victims had passed out and was not waking up," Moscow police said. "At 11:58 a.m., a 911 call requested aid for an unconscious person. The call was made from one of the surviving roommates' cell phones inside the residence."
Many people have been quick to criticize the response of the surviving roommate but experts say that's unfair, given the circumstances.
"A state of shock can take hours, days, weeks sometimes to wear off, and so that very well may have been the case," said former FBI agent Tracy Walder. "It's really hard to put yourself in a situation like that."
Mental health professionals agreed.
"A lot of people will say, 'Well I would react this way or that way,' but no one really knows until they're in the situation," said psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Bober. "I don't think we can judge too harshly here."
The surviving roommate's eyewitness testimony may end up proving vital to the case. When authorities arrested Kohberger, they determined that he matched the description provided by the witness.

What happened to the murder weapon
Authorities have not recovered the weapon used in the killings but that may not be necessary for a conviction.
Investigators were able to link Kohberger to the crime scene due to a "single source of male DNA left on the button snap" of a "tan leather knife sheath" that was found next to Mogen on the bed where she and Goncalves were discovered, according to the affidavit
The words "Ka-bar" and "USMC" were stamped on the sheath, along with the U.S. Marine Corps insignia, authorities said.
Additional questions: Is there other evidence?
The probable cause affidavit shows what led investigators to Kohberger, but that doesn't mean it's all the evidence they have.
Authorities laid out how they discovered DNA on the knife sheath and how they believe it was tied to Kohberger, but experts say investigators will be able to determine if his DNA is a direct match with the DNA on the sheath.
It's also unclear what additional evidence has been collected from Kohberger's white Hyundai Elantra that's been recovered by investigators.
Whose footprint was identified?
Investigators detected a shoe print showing "a diamond-shaped pattern (similar to the pattern of a Vans type shoe sole)" just outside the surviving roommate's door, according to the affidavit. The affidavit did not say if that print has been connected to Kohberger.
Did the second surviving roommate see or hear anything?
A second surviving roommate, whose room was located on the first floor, made statements to investigators that indicated occupants of the house were home by 2:00 a.m. on Nov. 13.
Authorities didn't say whether that roommate was asleep at the time of the killings — which authorities believe occurred between 4 a.m. and 4:25 a.m. — or if she heard anything suspicious.

Woman escorted off tram by police after launching into homophobic rant in broad daylight
Josh Milton February 12, 2020
An unidentified woman claimed the 'gay community run the police force' before hurling homophobic slurs and being escorted by Australian Federal Police officers. (Screen captures via YouTube)
A woman was caught on camera launching into a homophobic tirade, claiming that the "gay community run the police" before being escorted off a delayed tram.
Commuters boarding a tram in Melbourne, carrying groceries and idly scrolling on their phones, had their journeys rattled by a woman who hurled homophobic slurs against the driver.
Carrying an Aldis grocery bag and wearing a denim vest decorated with badges and iron-on patches, including one saying 'Police', the woman, who has yet to be identified, was videoed yelling into the driver's security glass.
"You are the police!" she said, before turning around and confronting the man filming of assault.
"Want to try again, honey?" she threatened, "you assaulted me on CCTV, honey."
Uploaded Monday, the YouTube video has the description: "Lady loses it with homophobic sluts against tram driver."
With her rant winnowing the carriage, the woman returns to her seat surrounded by grocery bags.
She then accused the passenger filming her of assaulting her and that law enforcement will only come if somebody is physically hurt.
On the halted tram the pair exchange a heated argument as passengers dived deep into the mobile phones. She claimed she did "nothing wrong".
However, the person filming hit back: "But you don't have to get all homophobic on the driver."
She retorted: "Police should only turn up if someone's been assaulted."
"The gay community run the police force."
Woman launched homophobic tirade on Melbourne tram.
The woman continued: "You're not going to threaten me off the train.
"In the '60s, mate, you could do whatever you want."
As the cops arrive, the woman exclaims: "This guy assaulted me."
"Want to talk to me outride about it?" one officer replied.
"Ask him his name, because he assaulted me," he told officers, "he's gay, you're gay, you all protect each other."
She then demanded the cops catch the name of the person filming, refusing to exit the tram carriage until then.
The woman then did one final reprieve: "He's gay [the person filming], he's gay [the tram driver] and you're gay [the police officer].
"You all protect each other," she said while being escorted off the tram, "mate, I've got CCTV.
"I'll get you, you understand me?

Functional airport hotel just 8 minutes from Schipol...very convenient for quick business meetings or layovers. Staff are lovely. Breakfast adequate and not many fascilities from the little i saw. Again, it's an airport hotel so one doesn't expect resort standards.
Breakfast was really good and there were a lot of options-including local honey, which was amazing. The room was extremely nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable and large. I really enjoyed the accommodations of the room itself.
Staff were very helpful. The bedroom was fine and a great bathroom. Big fluffy pillows. This is far out of town but very close to the airport with a free shuttle. Staff explained how to get into the town center and supplied three day passes at 26 euros. We loved getting about on the transport - so easy and practical.
Great staff. Having a shuttle to and from the airport was nice.
The airport shuttle was top notch, got us to and from the airport effectively. The rooms were so nice and spacious, with great bathrooms. The fitness room was really high end and nice to get in a quick workout. The wifi was great too! Staff was extremely helpful. It's next to a lovely park and lake as well.
The location is near airport and they have free shuttle every 30 minutes to and from Schiphol. It is very convenient since it is easy to go to city centre through Schiphol train station. The front desk staffs are excellent, check in process is fast and they allowed us an early check in.

Shuttle from airport. Staff. Publictransport.
The breakfast was really good (not included in the price). The hotel is a very good choice if you are traveling for work or if you need to spend a night near the airport just as I did. The bedroom was big and everything was really clean.
Awkward access by foot from the local bus stop, unclear where to access the reception from the main road. Air conditioning not up to much.
Complimentary upgrade. Polite and helpful staff. Clean.
This hotel was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in absolutely disgusting. Someone threw up near one of the rooms and they never bothered cleaning it up. The shuttle bus was free on the way to the airport then they all of a sudden decided to charge us on the way back.
Comfy bed and only 20 minutes in an Uber to the centre! Great breakfast too!!!
I didn't like their charging me Euro 5 (just 1 time by a reception staff I have not encountered before in previous stays) for a ride to Schiphol. The shuttle will still make the run with or without me as passenger so why not let me ride free. It's one little pleasure that makes me loyal to them.
I like the convenience of FREE shuttle to hotel from Sciphol and vice versa.
The location. It was very far from the city center. It's good for travelers needing to be near the airport in case they had an early flight out the next morning. But it's not ideal for those wanting to be close to the city center.
Room was nicely appointed and clean.
Hotel was very far away from the city and we did not know how to get from city center to the hotel.

How about you? Do you realize that you are loved, cherished and valued by God, along with believe in your heart that He, and He alone, is enough? Here's to not letting the world tell us who or what we should be, but instead let's continue to help each other believe in who we are, which is a child of God, that is precious and wonderfully made and that is enough.

This week we had a marvelous electrical storm to the west of our house. It was far enough away to make Junie Moon the Dog happy, but near enough for some nice photos. Since it was night, I used the same settings that I use for star photography. I put my Nikon D7000 on the tripod, with an 10-70mm lens. I set it for manual exposure, and set the shutter for a 30 second exposure, and turned on long exposure noise reduction. I hooked up my PClix, a marvelous device for taking photos at set intervals. Then I just let it click away.
This experiment is one that I played with while waiting for the time for my Electricity show to start. I started with one balloon, and then added another. Then I began experimenting with other materials, and managed to pass the time very quickly.
This is the Watt is Electricity show that I toured the country with for over 25 years. It covers the basics, including electrostatics, volts, amps, alternating and direct current, making it a great place to start as you study electricity.

Films About Music: Our Favourite Bands Share Their Recommendations (Part Two)
When we asked some of our favourite artists to tell us about their top music-based films, we got so many replies that we couldn't contain them in one article – we posted part one yesterday with the likes of Piney Gir, Urusei Yatsura, Elephants & Castles, French for Cartridge and Flash Bang Band sharing their tips (check them out here), and today we have another six slices of cinematic splendour for your delectation.
Recommended by The Indelicates
Velvet Goldmine is amazing. I hate it when films pretend they're telling the truth (like Saving Private Ryan: so realistic there's blood spatter on the cameras!) – and Velvet Goldmine avoids that trap by being patently, gloriously ludicrous from beginning to end. It starts with an alien delivering the power of glam rock to Oscar Wilde and just gets better from there. People don't even bother to try making theatrical features like it anymore – they've accepted this idea that you can't talk about art or artists or, y'know, caped crusaders, without making everything convincingly realistic and 'serious', but that isn't the only avenue to truth. You can say resonant, achingly truthful things just as well by making stuff up and printing the legend. It feels like there's no way to fund something like that now – so you end up with dreary trash like that black and white Ian Curtis movie which was under the impression that everyone in 1970s Manchester acted like they were living in a cheap knock off of the french new wave where people had yet to invent smiling. Pop Music isn't really like that – it's like Velvet Goldmine: silly, cheap, mawkish, shallow, childish and completely beautiful. So that's why it is the best.

The Ramones: Rock & Roll High School
Recommended by CuT
When Joyzine hit us up for our selection of our favourite music film, we sent back an immediate YES, we would love to. Then almost as quickly came the confusion… there are so many brilliant (Bob Dylan, No Direction Home) and inspiring (Joe Strummer, the Future is Unwritten) and hilarious (Spinal Tap/ Metallica Monster) films about music, which one should we pick… Dig!
More procrastination followed, whichever one you pick it's going to project a certain aspect of your psyche… your band's ethos carved into the digital wall of Joyzine for future punk rockers to stumble across in thousands of years, when they look back at all the junk of our age, and laugh at our naive lives of consumption and destruction… a golden age of greed and narcissistic indulgence.
To CuT a rambling existential nonsense short, we pick The Ramones, Rock & Roll High School. THIS IS PUNK ROCK REVOLUTION IN ACTION, THIS IS THE FALL OF THE ESTABLISHED ORDER, and it's really fucking funny too. Our favourite moment comes when they blow up the school while playing the title track.

Slint: Breadcrumb Trail
Recommended by Kagoule
Lance Bangs' documentary tells the story of Slint and their seminal 1991 album Spiderland through live and behind the scenes footage along with interviews with the band and contemporaries including Steve Albini, Ian MacKaye and James Murphy.
Watched it three times in a row. Made me rethink everything. Sat frozen for 6 hours then spent the rest of the night writing really slow heavy guitar riffs. Never before has a band made such an impression on me. Absolutely beautiful.

Oil City Confidential
Recommended by Peter Adams of Hey You Guys & And What WIll Be Left Of Them?
I don't know about you but I find Julien Temple films can be a bit much. Yes they're fantastic collages of sound and visuals but they sometimes get a bit overwhelming and I forget that I'm watching a documentary.
Not so Oil City Confidential, the story of pub-rock pioneers Dr Feelgood. Yes it's just another story about a band; in fact it's a story about a band you may never have heard of. And yes, we all know exactly how that story plays out. They form, struggle a bit, have some success and then fall apart; the same as every band ever worth telling the story of. But this one is ten times better because it's about you, me and anyone who ever had a tiny desire to break out of their hometown.
This is being in a band the way you dreamt it would be back when you were 15 years old. You and your mates get into a clapped out van, get out of your stifling hometown, piss off to London and get famous on your own terms. There's no bright lights/big city, just the grotty 70's pub rock circuit. There's no Machiavellian master plan, just four dickheads in cheap suits accidentally rocking out in front of young Princess Di whilst building all their mythology from their own back pockets… Yes, for Dr Feelgood it really happened, and all that follows – all the inevitable break ups, recriminations, cock ups and confusions – is at least dealt with in good humour. After all, it's hard to do much else when you never really expected to be doing any of it in the first place.
Favourite musical moment… Dr Feelgood have gone on to be a "this is my father's axe" band. They're still going, but with absolutely none of the original members. Yet their legacy lives on and not only do they still tour but they hold a weekend festival every year on their home territory of Canvey Island. There's a shot in the movie, a real blink and you'll miss it moment, when Wilko Johnson (founding guitarist and first to quit back in the 70s) hops on stage to play with the latest incarnation of the band he started so many decades before. Proof that sometimes what create can have a greater legacy than you ever considered possible.
And What Will Be Left Of Them?'s retrospective singles collection, 'A, B No Sequel' is out now.
Hey You Guys are currently working on their second album, the follow up to 2013's 'Gasp! Shock! Horror!'
The Harder They Come
Recommended by The Severed Limb
My favourite music film is The Harder They Come (1972). It's said to be the film that brought reggae to the world and I still think it's one of the best soundtracks ever. Jimmy Cliff is incredible in the lead role and my favourite part is when he's delivering something to a recording studio and he sneaks in to watch Toots and the Maytals record 'Sweet and Dandy'. He's trying to break into the music business but has no luck. We all know how it feels!
The Severed Limb play Brixton Windmill on 24th September, followed by shows at The Bell Inn, Bath (07.10), Camden Blues Kitchen (08.10) and a Halloween show at Cafe Cairo in Brixton on 31st October. Their album 'If You Ain't Living, You're A Dead Man' is out now on Damaged Goods Records.
Recommended by Cosmo House
Our choice has got to be Blues Brothers (1980)! When I asked the band for their favourite moment/song they said "literally all of it"' which I guess has to be our answer, there are cameos from so many of our influences like Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, not to mention Cab Calloway singing 'Minnie the Moocher' which we have been known to cover – particularly when in an overcrowded bar with a sweaty and slightly boozy audience!
Cosmo House will be our special guests on The Joyzine Radio Show on Wednesday 7th October ahead of the launch of their new EP. They play The Chapel in Bethnal Green on 1st October.

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by Chillin, Jun 27, 2003.
my plants have been in 12/12 for about 6 weeks and i have looked at the buds and it seems like the bottom and some buds are 70% brown hairs and look ready but others are not ready at all. what can i do?? do i pick the buds off that are ready and leav the rest grow???
Also what is the best way of drying the buds????
Well will be soon ay!
HIGH All, six weeks is a little early...the best way to tell if your Buds are near ready is to look at the trichomes if most are a cloudy color then it's time.
Get yourself a cheap 30x + magnifying device and then examine the trichomes (the lovely pretty shiny specs) in more detail.
Trichome condition at harvest is pretty much personal preference. If you want a couch-lock, OMG stone, wait until the trichomes change to cloudy white or amber. If it's an energetic high you are after then harvest when the trichomes are colourless.
"When the glandular trichomes are clear with very little, if any coloration, THC levels are at their peak with CBD and CBN both at levels that will not overly influence the THC with their sedative effects. Some prefer more overwhelming narcotic type effects, allowing the resin glands to cloud and begin to amber or darken to increase overall cannabinoid content. The resin glands appear and therefore will mature at different times. A compromise is made when determining the desired overall maturity level to harvest. It depends on the growers preference in effect and palate."
I tend to trim take of the top bud and leave the lower ones a few days to fill up when growing a non FIM'ed plant.
I also agree with Greenbudz (though again this is personal preference grower to grower) to remove leaves as early as possible. Not only will it save you work (and trichomes) later it will also lower the time of the initial drying stage and minimise the risk of mold.
Further it is not a good idea to have any direct air movement on the hanging buds when drying. This will make then dry quicker and make a more harsh smoke. That kinda homegrown taste. Y'know?
The drying process should really take as long as is possible without letting mold get your buds.
I tend to hang for only a few days til most of the moisture has gone then lightly pack into airtight containers. Everyday I empty and repack these (to let fresh air in). This process is repeated for two weeks to cure the bud.
The quality of smoke is worth it.
I have to harvest my buds while the trichs are still mostly clear. I need the Cerebral/energetic high. When I am forced to buy and all I can get is the over done stuff, I can only take the tiniest of doses, or I'll walk in circles trying to do chores! I can go off my meds and do that!
Sloooooow drying really is worth the wait. I have an unused closet that gets my larger branches/buds, clipped to hangers. The little ones get clipped with clothes pins to the stapled lip of a brown paper bag, which also goes into the closet. The doors stay closed as light can cause breakdowns in the thc. There should be ventilation, but as sureshot says, no direct breezes.
Bud Rot = Early Harvest :'( Need Help!

NDFP: OPAPP irrelevant and anti-peace under Galvez
February 6, 2020 /in News /by Kodao Productions
The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) has betrayed its mandate to push for peace and had been irrelevant for a long time, the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) said.
"Instead of promoting peace negotiations, OPAPP has been demonizing the revolutionary forces, as well as the Chief Political Consultant of the NDF, Prof. Jose Maria Sison, with worn out lies long debunked by fact and evidence, NDFP Negotiating Panel chairperson Fidel Agcaoili in a statement, Thursday, February 6, said.
Agcaoili added OPAPP is acting against the interest of the Filipino people who have been clamoring for the resumption of peace negotiations between the NDFP and the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP).
The NDFP blames presidential peace adviser and retired Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief of staff Carlito Galvez Jr. for turning OPAPP into the military' psychological warfare machinery.
It said the OPAPP now denies the existence of the armed conflict between GRP and NDFP forces, particularly the New People's Army (NPA).
In an article published on the OPAPP website Saturday, February 1, Galvez alleged Sison and company are working overtime to sabotage the GRP's anti-communist insurgency programs for fear of becoming irrelevant.
"The armed struggle has no legitimacy in a civilized society. Armed violence is an anathema of peace and development, and the CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines)-NPA should be disbanded," Galvez said.
The NDFP retorted that all Galvez had been consistently doing is attacking peace process and all signed agreements between the GRP and NDFP.
The group added Galvez even terminated the appointment of the members of the government's negotiating panel and the services of its Joint Secretariat in the Joint Monitoring Committee, the office tasked to oversee the implementation of thr GRP-NDFP Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law.
"Just as the call for the resumption of the peace negotiations is gathering strength and the Duterte regime appears prodded back to the negotiating table, OPAPP seems hell bent on derailing every effort to resume the peace talks," the NDFP said.
"OPAPP has long lost all credibility as it is exposed to be sinister, corrupt and a saboteur of the Filipino people's aspiration for a just and lasting peace. It has indeed become irrelevant," the group added.
The NDFP also slammed OPAPP's latest press release proclaiming the so-called successes of President Rodrigo Duterte's Executive Order 70 creating the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).
Presidential peace adviser Carlito Galvez Jr. (OPAPP photo)
State terrorism and corruption
The NDFP said NTF-ELCAC is an integral part of the government's counter-insurgency program Operation Plan Kapanatagan that has been "terrorizing and wreaking havoc on communities through sustained military operations."
The group said EO 70's other human rights violations include indiscriminate aerial and artillery bombardments of villages, assasination of civilians, illegal arrests, detention and torture of suspected NPA sympathizers, and with hunting or red-tagging of churches and organizations as well as their leaders.
But aside from unleashing state terrorism on the people, the NDFP said the NTF-ELCAC is rife with corruption.
"With a P21 billion budget, the NTF-ELCAC, under the rubric of localized peace talks and the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), has been devising all sorts of money-making schemes to line the pockets of military and police commanders and local bureaucrats," the NDFP said.
According to the NDFP, implementers of the task force also commit the following:
1. Buying off (with kickbacks) city and municipal councils into declaring the NPA persona-non-grata in their areas;
2. Manufacturing fake surrenderees to obtain the reward and integration monies (as recently exposed in the photoshopped picture of previous surrenderees and the alleged surrender if Alde Salusa, a military agent who killed anti-mining activist Datu Jimmy Liguyon);
3. Appointing paramilitaries Alamara and New Indigenous People's Army to local councils that extend permit fees to mining and logging companies as well as multinational agribusiness corporations for the exploitation of ancetral lands; and
4. Renegotiating a bigger amount of "settlement" with the previously surrendered and paid Rebolusyonaryong Partidong Manggagawa ng Pilipinas/Revolutionary Proletarian Army/Alex Boncayao Brigade-Tabara Paduano Group in a new agreement called Clarificatory Implementing Document. # (Raymund B.

Do Cranial Bones move?
One of the components of the cranial concept for practitioners who practice cranial manipulative therapy is that the bones of the head move along the sutures. The movement can be described as an expansion and compression that take place much how the rib cage moves during respiration. This idea has been highly controversial since it was first presented to the world over 60 years ago. To this day, there's plenty of criticism that this concept is based on 'pseudoscience.' Many state that there is 'no research' supporting this idea. This statement is incorrect. There may not be sufficient evidence at this time supporting this idea. However, there is much more research showing that there the bones of the head can move, than there is research showing that the bones of the head do not move.
I'd like to to discuss 5 reasons I have found that support the bones of the head do move.
Reason 1: Embryological
Why are there sutures in the head? If you look at a skull, there are sutures throughout the head making each bone identifiable. This may seem insignificant as evidence but during development, there are many bones that form in separate parts and do actually fuse to form one bone. For example, each pelvic bone develops as three separate parts (ischium, ilium, and pubis) that fuse into one bone with no sutures between them. There are many examples of this during development. This even takes place in the head. The occiput forms by the fusion of 4 separate components. This fusion is complete and does not have any sutures between them. There are sutures between the occiput and the bones it articulates with. Clearly the human body would be capable of completely fusing the bones of the head if it intended it to do so. This fusion, however, does not take place or one would be unable to distinguish each separate bone of the skull once fusion had taken place. In addition, skulls can be disarticulated using the expansive properties of rice to separate the bones at the sutures. So if the body is capable of completely fusing the bones of the head, then why does it not do this?
Reason 2: Adaptation
Although there are not large amounts of movement in the head, there is some. Proper motion allows the head to be pliable to better absorb the shock of a trauma or changes in intracranial pressure. Part of the purpose of the skull is to encase and protect the brain. If one receives a blunt trauma to the head, the pliability allowed by movement of the bones of the head allows the bones to absorb much of the impact. This would allow the brain to be less affected by the trauma. If the skull fused, then the skull would be very hard like the outer casing of a helmet. A blunt trauma would break the skull easier like an egg shell and the force would be transferred to the brain more strongly. By not fusing, the head can then change and adapt better to changes in intracranial pressure. If a scenario occurs where the pressure in the head changes (such as flying or having a cold), then it would be helpful for the bones to be pliable and expand. That way, when the pressure in the head changes, the effect on the brain is minimized. Therefore, in terms of being able to handle traumas and changes in pressure, it would make sense of the head to be able to expand.
Reason 3: Braces
We have evidence that the bones of the head can move all around us. If the bones of the head fuse and could not move, there would be no reason for braces. Braces are based on the idea that the head is pliable and can be reshaped to align teeth.
Reason 4: Motion Testing
Part of the reason that there is so much controversy about whether or not the bones of the head move or not is because most practitioners put their hands on a persons head and palpate the subtle movement taking place under their hands. Others who come along who cannot palpate this motion, then argue that this cannot be felt. Although I can feel this subtle motion, I feel restrictions in the cranial bones by getting a hold of the accessible bones of the head and move them through their range of motion. I compare how one side moves compared to the other. Usually one side moves better than the other. Under normal circumstances each bone has a small range of motion. There is significantly more motion than taking a plastic skull and trying to move it. By understanding where there are restrictions in the sutures, then I can work on freeing them up until both sides feel more symmetrical in their movement. I prove this idea to myself every day that I am at work.
Reason 5: Layout of Sutures
Finally the last piece of evidence I have found is in the sutures themselves. This goes back to anatomy. If one studies the way the motion described in the skull and the anatomy of the sutures, then one could see this idea as being plausible. There are different types of sutures and they articulate differently depending on the area. For example, the frontal bone overlaps the parietal bone medially, but as one moves out further along the coronal suture, there is a transition spot followed by the parietal bone overlapping the frontal bone. The sagittal suture for example, acts more like a hinge and the suture is put together in a way that allows for this type of a function. These are just a few examples although this takes place with the way all the bones articulate with each other. Simply put, the bones of the head act like a 3D puzzle that allows the head to go through its motion. In addition, dural membranes in the head come out externally through the sutures. Evidence for this is that epidural bleeds in the head do not cross suture lines because the dura travels externally at the sutures. The dural membranes inside the head act as a barrier preventing the bones of the head from fusing completely.
We also know now that there are structures inside the skull that we are affecting with cranial manipulative techniques. The tentorium, cranial arterials, CSF, also transmit pain information to our brain. This can be attenuated with cranial technique.
I will post a video of the skull bones moving in real time!

Effects of Dietary Ascorbic Acid on Blood Haematological Profile, Serum Biochemical Components and Tonic Immobility Reaction of Male Turkeys under Summer Condition
KONCA Y. , KIRKPINAR F., ÇABUK M.
JOURNAL OF POULTRY SCIENCE, cilt.46, ss.105-111, 2009 (SCI İndekslerine Giren Dergi)
Doi Numarası: 10.2141/jpsa.46.105
Dergi Adı: JOURNAL OF POULTRY SCIENCE
This experiment was performed to determine the effects of dietary ascorbic acid (ASA) supplementation oil blood components, leukocyte and tonic immobility of male turkeys under summer conditions. A total of 120 one-day-old male turkeys were fed with three different diets. The experimental diets were: control without ASA (ASA-0), 150 mg of ASA/kg (ASA-150) and 300 mg of ASA/kg (ASA-300) of diet. The turkeys received the experimental diets for IS weeks. Diets ill mash form and water were provided ad libitum. In the ASA-150 and ASA-300 groups, the eosinophile and basophile ratios were higher than those of the ASA-0 group at 12 weeks of age (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001), but lymphocyte (L), heterophil (H), monocyte, H: L ratio and tonic immobility were not influenced by the ASA levels (P > 0.05). Both dietary ASA levels caused a quadratic decrease in serum cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) (P < 0.05), whereas dietary ASA caused a finer increase in serum iron concentration of turkey. (P < 0.05). Serum glucose, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL), total protein, albumin. globulin. lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), urea, Uric acid and alpha amylase were not affected by the addition of ASA to the diets (P < 0.05). As a conclusion, blood haematological profile, serum biochemical components and tonic immobility of turkeys were not significantly affected by dietary ASA levels at chronic high summer temperatures in general. and, therefore, there is no need for ASA supplementation in turkeys' diets under summer temperatures that do not exceed 31.7 degrees C.

Abstract Ventilatory Response to Carbon Dioxide during Moderate Exercise: Masayoshi TAKAHASHI, et al. National Institute for Resources and Environment-Elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is one of the most important physiological stressors with closed-circuit breathing-apparatus (CCBA). We determined the ventilatory response to CO2 during moderate exercise by measuring the relationship between VE and PETCO2. Based on our findings, it is recommended that the permissible inhaled CO2 limit for CCBA in the Japan Industrial Standard (JIS) be lowered from 3% to 2%, and that the members of a rescue or fire fighter team who use CCBA be selected on the basis of their ventilatory sensitivity to CO2.

A $32 hacking tool can open your garage door and unlock your car – Geek
Arduino, Cybersecurity, Hardware hacks, RF
http://mobile.geek.com/latest/257592-a-32-dollars-hacking-tool-can-open-your-garage-door-and-unlock-your-car?origref=
Cheap hardware can mess up with the security of rf remote locks that use "secure" rolling code system… for example open car door.
Meet RollJam, the $30 device that jimmies car and garage doors
Widely used keyless entry systems can be hacked in seconds with wallet-sized device.
http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/08/meet-rolljam-the-30-device-that-jimmies-car-and-garage-doors/
Over the past decade, keyless entry systems have largely displaced traditional physical keys as the means for locking and unlocking cars and garages around the world. Just push a button and the electronic devices transmit a secret code that activates or deactivates the lock, saving people the hassle of manually controlling it.
Now, serial hacker Samy Kamkar has devised RollJam, a $30 device that steals the secret codes so attackers can use them to gain unauthorized access to a car or garage. It works against a variety of market-leading chips, including the KeeLoq access control system from Microchip Technology Inc. and the High Security Rolling Code generator made by National Semiconductor. RollJam is capable of opening electronic locks on cars from Chrysler, Daewoo, Fiat, GM, Honda, Toyota, Volvo, Volkswagen Group, Clifford, Shurlok, and Jaguar. It also works against a variety of garage-door openers, including the rolling code garage door opener made by King Cobra.
Jam, steal, replay
RollJam uses a clever hack to exploit this system whenever it's within range of a key and lock. The device contains two radios. The first jams the airwaves to prevent the lock from receiving the rolling code sent by the electronic key. Since the car or garage door doesn't unlock, a user almost certainly will press the lock or unlock button again. Once RollJam has collected the latter rolling code, it uses the second radio to broadcast the earlier rolling code to the lock. RollJam then stores the latter rolling code. Because the code was never received by the lock, it remains valid. By replaying it later—say, after the car owner has locked the car and walked away—RollJam is able to unlock the car or garage. Kamkar said he has tested the device on several makes of cars and all were susceptible.
The reason many electronic locks are vulnerable to RollJam is that the rolling codes are invalidated only after it or a subsequent rolling code is received. Devices like the RSA SecurID, by contrast, cause validation codes to expire after a specific amount of time.
At the moment, RollJam is about the size of a wallet, but with additional work it could be the size of a car key.
This Hacker's Tiny Device Unlocks Cars And Opens Garages
http://www.wired.com/2015/08/hackers-tiny-device-unlocks-cars-opens-garages/
The next time you press your wireless key fob to unlock your car, if you find that it doesn't beep until the second try, the issue may not be a technical glitch. Instead, a hacker like Samy Kamkar may be using a clever radio hack to intercept and record your wireless key's command. And when that hacker walks up to your vehicle a few minutes, hours, or days later, it won't even take those two button presses to get inside.
At the hacker conference DefCon in Las Vegas tomorrow, Kamkar plans to present the details of a gadget he's developed called "RollJam." The $32 radio device, smaller than a cell phone, is designed to defeat the "rolling codes" security used in not only most modern cars and trucks' keyless entry systems, but also in their alarm systems and in modern garage door openers. The technique, long understood but easier than ever to pull off with Kamkar's attack, lets an intruder break into cars without a trace, turn off their alarms and effortlessly access garages.
ollJam, as Kamkar describes it, is meant to be hidden on or near a target vehicle or garage, where it lies in wait for an unsuspecting victim to use his or her key fob within radio range. The victim will notice only that his or her key fob doesn't work on the first try. But after a second, successful button press locks or unlocks a car or garage door, the RollJam attacker can return at any time to retrieve the device, press a small button on it, and replay an intercepted code from the victim's fob to open that car or garage again at will. "Every garage that has a wireless remote, and virtually every car that has a wireless key can be broken into," says Kamkar.
This $30 device defeats almost any keyless car or garage door
http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/10/hacking-device-lets-thieves-open-your-car/
Car makers came up with "rolling code" after thieves figured out how to wirelessly steal codes from early keyless devices. The system works by changing the passkey every time you use a fob, preventing it from being used a second time. In theory, that makes any stolen code useless to an attacker. As with many of his hacks, Kamkar's workaround is simple yet ingenious. Rolljam blocks the remote signal from reaching the vehicle with a pair of radios, then uses a third one to record the wireless code.
Naturally, the mark will try to use the fob again, and once again, Rolljam will jam the signal and steal the second code. But this time, Kamkar's device will re-transmit the first code and unlock the car, so the victim thinks everything's alright. Since your vehicle didn't receive the second code, however, it can now be used by a thieves to steal your car anytime they want. If the device is placed in proximity of a car or garage, it can keep stealing and retransmitting codes, ensuring it always has a fresh, working one.
My own car is fully susceptible to this attack. I don't think that's right when we know this is solvable.
RollJam — $30 Device That Unlocks Almost Any Car And Garage Door

Can other people unlock my car door with their remote?
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/automotive/unlock-car-door-remote1.htm
Rolling Codes and Encryption
Modern keyless entry system broadcast on a frequency between 300 and 400 MHz (megahertz). But if your keyfob sent out just a single signal, then every fob would open every car of that make and model. To ensure that no one can use his or her fob to open your car door, it's necessary produce a signal that is unique to every car.
This is where rolling codes, also known as hopping codes, come in. Whenever you press the button to unlock your car, the exact frequency transmitted by the fob is changed, and the receiver inside the car only grabs onto that particular signal. In other words, the code "rolls" or "hops" each time you use it. A controller chip inside the car receives the signal and is responsible for changing the code each time the lock or unlock button is pushed.
Before this rolling code system was developed, thieves were able to use electronic devices called "code grabbers" to lock onto your keyfob's unique signal. With rolling codes, the signal is unique every time, rendering a code grabber device useless [source: Lake].
In addition, the code is stored inside the car, not within the keyfob. A thief would need to break into the car to access the code, which defeats the purpose of getting it in the first place.
The numbers generated when the code hops is random. However, in theory, an astute hacker dead-set on stealing your car could find a way to anticipate the next code in the sequence. For this reason, the codes are encrypted as well, making each electronic keyfob have billions of possible codes.
However, no security system is totally foolproof. In 2007, a group of researchers discovered vulnerability in the algorithm used by nearly every car manufacturer to encrypt their security codes. With this vulnerability, they found they were able to unlock any car made by that automaker with the keyfob from just one of them [source: Zetter].
RF Hacking: How-To Bypass Rolling Codes
http://hackaday.com/2016/03/06/rf-hacking-how-to-bypass-rolling-codes/
The RF signal transmitted from a modern key fob and received by the associated vehicle is only used once. If the vehicle sees the same code again it rejects the command, however there is a loophole in those carefully chosen words. The code must be received by the vehicle's computer before it can be added to the list of spent codes. [AndrewMohawk] goes through the process of intercepting a code sent from a key fob transmitter and preventing the vehicle from receiving it in a thorough post to his blog. You can see this attack working in his studio quality reenactment video after the break.
[Andrew] uses the YARD Stick One (YS1) which is a sub-GHz wireless tool that is controlled from a computer.
Bypassing Rolling Code Systems
http://andrewmohawk.com/2016/02/05/bypassing-rolling-code-systems/
This blog post will discuss the implementation of Codegrabbing / RollJam, just one method of attacking AM/OOK systems that implement rolling codes (such as keeloq) — these systems are commonly found on modern vehicles and entry systems such as gates and garages. This technique has been used and spoken about for a number of years (Marko Wolf describes it in "Security Engineering for Vehicular IT Systems" from 2009).
However the advancement in easy to use and cheap hardware has made this a readily available research path for almost anyone. Samy Kamkar showed it at Defcon 2015, you can read about that and his device at http://www.wired.com/2015/08/hackers-tiny-device-unlocks-cars-opens-garages/.
For this post already knowing the basics of AM/OOK and retransmitting these codes is pretty useful. If you are unsure feel free to check out the previous entries on Hacking fixed key remotes with (only) RFCat

YARD Stick One (Yet Another Radio Dongle) can transmit or receive digital wireless signals at frequencies below 1 GHz. It uses the same radio circuit as the popular IM-Me. The radio functions that are possible by customizing IM-Me firmware are now at your fingertips when you attach YARD Stick One to a computer via USB.
YARD Stick One comes with RfCat firmware installed, courtesy of atlas. RfCat allows you to control the wireless transceiver from an interactive Python shell or your own program running on your computer.

Andy Greenberg / Wired:
Researchers find 24 cars from 19 manufacturers vulnerable to radio amplification attack that extends range of key fobs to open cars, start ignitions
Radio Attack Lets Hackers Steal 24 Different Car Models
http://www.wired.com/2016/03/study-finds-24-car-models-open-unlocking-ignition-hack/
For years, car owners with keyless entry systems have reported thieves approaching their vehicles with mysterious devices and effortlessly opening them in seconds. After having his Prius burgled repeatedly outside his Los Angeles home, the New York Times' former tech columnist Nick Bilton came to the conclusion that the thieves must be amplifying the signal from the key fob in the house to trick his car's keyless entry system into thinking the key was in the thieves' hand. He eventually resorted to keeping his keys in the freezer.
Now a group of German vehicle security researchers has released new findings about the extent of that wireless key hack, and their work ought to convince hundreds of thousands of drivers to keep their car keys next to their Pudding Pops.
"This clear vulnerability in [wireless] keys facilitates the work of thieves immensely," reads a post in German about the researchers' findings on the ADAC website. "The radio connection between keys and car can easily be extended over several hundred meters, regardless of whether the original key is, for example, at home or in the pocket of the owner."
That car key hack is far from new: Swiss researchers published a paper detailing a similar amplification attack as early as 2011.
list of vulnerable vehicles from their findings, which focused on European models:
The ADAC researchers pulled off the attack by building a pair of radio devices; one is meant to be held a few feet from the victim's car, while the other is placed near the victim's key fob.
The full attack uses only a few cheap chips, batteries, a radio transmitter, and an antenna, the ADAC researchers say

Q: Multiple Pentaho Transformations 'Variables?' I am using Pentaho Data Integration Software.
I am currently running a Pentaho Job as an ETL. I ETL data from multiple places and put them into a single database table. The schema for all of the places i ETL from are exactly the same. So, other than database connections and a single 'variable' that stores where that data came from, the transformation in Pentaho is exactly the same for each one. So i have a job, that runs each of these transformation.
The problem comes in, when i want to make a change. I need to change 6 transformations every time. What i want to do, is somehow set something like a variable in Pentaho, that tells it to run a single transformation, 6 times, with different database connections, and perhaps a single variable.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advanced.

A: If i have understood your question correctly, you need to loop multiple transformations using a single KTR file (assuming there is only one database type).
PDI provides you with a step called "Copy Rows to Result", where you can store the credentials of your database in multiple rows and for every run of the Job, it will use different connections and run the transformation multiple times (6 in ur case).
Note: I have assumed that you are having only one database type e.g. : mySQL but with different credentials.
Hope this helps :) I would be happy to provide you sample code in case you need it.

A: Well, why don't you use a job that will pass the host/user/password as variables? That way your whole data flow will be generic.
Hope this answer will lead you into the right direction!

I love the easiness of ordering online with Bangkok Thai. They never disappoint in the food department, we have been here three times and each time everything has been amazing. From the flavour to their great customer service! Thank you for the great food! Can't wait to order from here again!
My favorite Thai food joint in the valley. They never disappoint. Food is superb, coconut ice-cream is a great ending to a spicy meal.
Very tasty at a good price. The online ordering was also a plus.


I just finished reading Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr, which is one of those Christian books that's part devotional and part self-help. The book focuses on "two halves" of spiritual development, or what members of the resistance have dubbed "being woke": at some point in your spiritual life, you begin to realize that just because a group calls itself "Christian" does not mean everyone within it is alike. Not every Christian has the same questions, the same doubts, and the same experiences.
When lived experiences conflict with what you've been taught about God and the Bible, spiritual stretching is inevitable. It may be that some of our spiritual needs are better met in places outside of church or bible study.
As an Episcopalian who believes in a "Lord, help my unbelief" sort of way – and one from a secular Jewish background as well – I've probably experienced more than two halves of spiritual life already, and with more to come (I realize that means I'm no longer talking about "halves," but I have two English degrees; what do I know about fractions?). "Double belonging" is second nature to me.
A kind of "double belonging" is characteristic of people at this stage. No one group meets all of their needs, desires, and visions. I bet that if you've lasted this long with this book, you yourself are a "double belonger," maybe even a triple or more! Colonized people, oppressed people, every kind of minority have had to learn several levels of belonging to survive and get through the day; for us more comfortable folks it is still a stretch, but finally a stretch that many are making, perhaps without even realizing it.
Sometimes it only takes a single paragraph for a book to earn a place on my "kindred spirit" shelf, and this is one of them.
For me, one example of "double belonging" is the fact that I own several bible translations for different spiritual phases. When I'm curious about the Jewish interpretation of a passage, I have two study bibles: one for the old Testament and one for the new. When all things faith seem frivolous, there's Eugene Peterson's "The Message." And when I'm not energetic enough to read entire passages, but know I need to read something anyway, there's Stephen Miller, whose "Complete Guide to the Bible" thoroughly summarizes each book, with the inclusion of pictures and historical footnotes.
Recently, I found myself missing Friday night Shabbat services, and started attending the Hillel Jewish Student Center on campus. There I befriended the director and his wife, two of the few people there who are close to my age (that is a problem when your only options for Jewish activity are the one synagogue whose members are mostly families with young kids, or the student group where 90% of members were in diapers when 9/11 happened). They recently started a "Torah study" group, which I attended for the first time last week.
I can't explain just how refreshing it was to read the Bible like a Jew again, which means not only analyzing the text line by line (we really did spend an hour and a half just talking about the first two lines of Genesis), but parsing each Hebrew word, discussing the context, and debating the various ways in which rabbis have interpreted those words through the ages. It wasn't just the intense level of study that I loved – Christians do that in bible studies, too – but how much raising questions and agreeing to disagree was such an integral part of the event. I'd become so used to taking one scriptural interpretation for granted (and being given dirty looks if I brought up an alternative one) that a group like this is feeding my spiritual hunger better than any Christian one has lately.
Part of me feels guilty for thinking that, but the Old Testament is still God's word – and you can never have too much knowledge.

Thanks for reminding me of this book. I've had it in my bookshelf for about 10 years. Now might be the time to take it out again.
I especially enjoyed your enjoyment of Jewish "bible study." I had recently heard that there is a Jewish tradition of sort of theorizing and hypothesizing various scripture—sort of friendly debating a passage ad nauseam (without the negative connotation). As I've encountered others with this perspective, I'm convinced that there is a depth and a freedom in this perspective that could be life changing.
Beth Caplin shares her spiritual journey on interwoven paths.
I have long found that I can't claim any particular, or single defined religious or spiritual membership identity. "Double belonging", much as I like the phrase and metaphor, feels close, but not quite catching my experience. The belonging part doesn't fit, and it is more than two as well. Perhaps, "inhabiting multiple metaphors" might work. It puts the emphasis on seeking the metaphor that best fits or serves in the situation, rather than trying to make the situation fit into a given metaphor. The stretching feeling does fit.

Q: Mongodb MapReduce for grouping up to n per category using Mongoid I have a weird problem with MongoDB (2.0.2) map reduce.
So, the story goes like this:
I have Ad model (look for model source extract below) and I need to group up to n ads per category in order to have a nice ordered listing I can later use to do more interesting things.
# encoding: utf-8
class Ad
  include Mongoid::Document
  cache
  include Mongoid::Timestamps

  field :title
  field :slug, :unique => true

  def self.aggregate_latest_active_per_category

    map = "function () {
        emit( this.category, { id: this._id });
    }"

    reduce = "function ( key, value ) {
      return { ads:v };
    }"

  self.collection.map_reduce(map, reduce, { :out => "categories"} )

  end

All fun and games up until now.
What I expect is to get a result in a form which resembles (mongo shell for db.categories.findOne() ):
    {
      "_id" : "category_name",
      "value" : {
          "ads" : [
                          {
                            "id" : ObjectId("4f2970e9e815f825a30014ab")
                          },
                          {
                            "id" : ObjectId("4f2970e9e815f825a30014b0")
                          },
                          {
                            "id" : ObjectId("4f2970e9e815f825a30014b6")
                          },
                          {
                            "id" : ObjectId("4f2970e9e815f825a30014b8")
                          },
                          {
                            "id" : ObjectId("4f2970e9e815f825a30014bd")
                          },
                          {
                            "id" : ObjectId("4f2970e9e815f825a30014c1")
                          },
                          {
                            "id" : ObjectId("4f2970e9e815f825a30014ca")
                          },
                          // ... and it goes on and on
          ]
        }
      }

Actually, it would be even better if I could get value to contain only array but MongoDB complains about not supporting that yet, but, with later use of finalize function, that is not a big problem I want to ask about.
Now, back to problem. What actually happens when I do map reduce is that it spits out something like :
{
    "_id" : "category_name",
    "value" : {
        "ads" : [
            {
                "ads" : [
                    {
                        "ads" : [
                            {
                                "ads" : [
                                    {
                                        "ads" : [
                                            {
                                                "id" : ObjectId("4f2970d8e815f825a3000011")
                                            },
                                            {
                                                "id" : ObjectId("4f2970d8e815f825a3000017")
                                            },
                                            {
                                                "id" : ObjectId("4f2970d8e815f825a3000019")
                                            },
                                            {
                                                "id" : ObjectId("4f2970d8e815f825a3000022")
                                            },

   // ... on and on and on

... and while I could probably work out a way to use this it just doesn't look like something I should get.
So, my questions (finally) are:

*

*Am I doing something wrong and what is it?

*I there something wrong with MongoDB map reduce (I mean besides all the usual things when compared to hadoop)?

A: Yes, you're doing it wrong. Inputs and outputs of map and reduce should be uniform. Because they are meant to be executed in parallel, and reduce might be run over partially reduced results. Try these functions:
var map = function() {
  emit(this.category, {ads: [this._id]});
};

var reduce = function(key, values) {
  var result = {ads: []};

  values.forEach(function(v) {
    v.ads.forEach(function(a) {
      result.ads.push(a)
    });
  });
  return result;
}

This should produce documents like:
{_id: category, value: {ads: [ObjectId("4f2970d8e815f825a3000011"),
                              ObjectId("4f2970d8e815f825a3000019"),
                              ...]}}

Talk To A Permanent Makeup Artist!
Best microblading course hands down! I've had the best experience possible with Kim and am so greatful to have had found this class. I've learned so much in the 4 days I was there and it couldn't have been better! They are most down to earth, sweetest people ever and I regret it not one bit!!! This class was challenging but very informative at the same time. I've learned so much and have come such a long way from my first day at the academy but I'm humbled and so so greatful to say I have successfully completed this course and graduated with a certificate in eyebrow (microstroking/microblading) techniques. I highly recommended this course or any of her courses to anyone ready for a challenge and up to change people's lives. Thank you so much to the two wonderful ladies who instilled so much knowledge in me, who helped turn my dreams to reality and helped guide me throughout this process! You are now my 'Ohana. No matter what they will always be there for me to count on! And that's what matters most!
Perfect from start to finish!! I called to make an apt. for microblading & the woman on the phone was so sweet & accommodating 🙂 When I arrived for my apt. I was taken in right away and they made me feel so comfortable and at home. The process was explained to me before I started so I knew what was happening at every step w/ no surprises. While Kim was microblading my brows, she made sure I was comfortable and I loved how attentive they were on cleanliness & keeping things sterile. Her touch was gentle & I could barely feel a thing!! Overall an amazing experience and worth every penny!! I'm already looking forward to my follow up visit 🙂 I HIGHLY recommend A Perfect Look for all your permanent makeup needs!!
The girl working upfront l, Shantel, was really helpful and friendly, she helped to make the experience comfortable but still professional. Kim is absolutely AMAZING at what she does. I just moved back from California and normally have only gone to my main person to do my brows but after a friend referred me to A Perfect Look, and reading the all the reviews I can happily say all my expectations were beyond met! I will be seeing Kim from now on!
Kim is amazing. Professional and soft handed. She does an unbelievable job and I felt 100% comfortable. I was at the tail end of my chemotherapy so I did not have any eyebrows. She left me with beautiful eyebrows that helped me with the confidence I needed.
Wonder experience at this salon. Kim did the best correction job on my brows. Had it done in California 5 years ago and it was horrible. This was the best experience ever! Thank you for your professional work to make my brows look fabulous with the perfect shape and color. See you when I return! Jaydee Bakersfield, Ca.
Kim was fantastic from start to finish, she was so kind over the phone and interested to help as a professional. The facility was easy to find and so inviting. Once I got there Kim consulted with me discussing my likes and dislikes, there was no pressure or rush, she made sure I was totally comfortable (with a blanket and pillow). She gave me great brows with no pain at all. The whole experience was wonderful, I will recommend Kim and continue to go back to her for years to come, she is a true professional!
I went into see Kim for eyebrows and I got so much more! Kim is a a very in tuned loving person as well.. She has perfected her art to be the very best in Maui…I would have never gotten something like this done unless I felt complete trust and openness about what was to take place…the service was impeccable and I am SoHappy with my eyebrows!! I was always drawing my eyebrows in (crocked I might add)..now I feel so comfortable swimming..sweating and having no worries if my eyebrows will stay on..I highly recommend Kim for any perfect look you want! My eyebrows are beautiful… And so many of my friends made wonderful comments right away Thank you Kim!! Have great holidays!!
Love, love, love my eyebrows! Kim was so professional, pleasant and her studio very comfortable. It was painless and the results beautiful! I wake up in the morning now and don't have to struggle with filling in my thinning eyebrows. I have received many compliment. Thank you Kim!!!
