Mohammad Azharuddin is an Indian politician and former cricketer. He was renowned as an elegant middle-order batsman and captained India in 47 tests during the 1990s. His international playing career came to a controversial end when he was implicated in the infamous match-fixing scandal in 2000 and subsequently banned by the BCCI for life. In 2012, the Andhra Pradesh High Court declared the life ban illegal. A division bench of the high court set aside the order of the City Civil Court, which had upheld the ban after Azharuddin had challenged it. But by then he was 49 years old and too old to get back on the pitch.We fought in the court for 11 years. Finally the verdict has come and I am happy that the ban has been lifted by the court.In 2009, Azharuddin was elected as a member of the Parliament from Moradabad constituency on an Indian National Congress party ticket.
He had 2 sons Asaduddin and Ayazuddin. His younger son Ayazuddin died in a road accident in 2011.His elder son - Asaduddin Abbas is an aspiring cricketer and has been selected in the Goa State team in September 2018.
Mohammed Azharuddin was an outstanding cricketer who held an excellent record in both Tests and limited overs game. He was a graceful right-handed batsman whose fluid batting style was similar to that of Englishman David Gower. He proved hostile towards spin and medium-pace attack, peppering the leg and off-sides with his classic wristy-flicks and timed stroke play.
Azharuddin was also known for his agility on the field with dazzling catches, amazing diving stops and nippy run-outs. Azharuddin was even a great leader and his captaincy enjoyed tremendous success. The major teams that Mohammed Azharuddin has represented are India, Hyderabad and Derbyshire.
Mohammed Azharuddin had an excellent first-class record of 229 matches, where he scored an amazing 15855 runs. He made his Test debut against England at Kolkata in December 1985. Since then he has played a mammoth 99 Tests, aggregating 6215 runs with 22 centuries, his highest Test score being 199 against Sri Lanka, and 105 brilliant catches. His notable Test performances include his 14 Test match wins as captain, 3 consecutive centuries in his debut matches and shares the record for the quickest Test century by an Indian.
He made his one-day international debut against England at Bangalore in March 1985. Since then, he has played in 334 ODI's, scoring 9378 runs with 7 centuries, his highest being 153(not-out), and 156 stunning ODI catches. He has also appeared in four consecutive Cricket World Cup events, in 1987 as semi-finalists, 1992 Cup event, 1996 as semi-finalists, and in the 1999 Cup event. He has a spectacular 103 ODI wins as captain as well as shares the list with the fastest century makers in one-day cricket, namely Sanath Jayasuriya and Shahid Afridi.
Despite having an outstanding record, Mohammed Azharuddin's tragic fall from cricket came at the peak of his career in the year 2000. This was due to his alleged role in match-fixing, as named in a confession by former South African captain Hansie Cronje, eventually leading to a life ban from cricket, thus ending his dream run.
However, for his immense contribution and dedication in the field of cricket, Mohammad Azharuddin was awarded the prestigious Arjuna Award in 1986, as well as, was honored with the Wisden Cricketer of the Year' in 1991.


A girl who recently celebrated her twenty-seventh birthday was left in shock this morning after discovering that she now suffers from hangovers.
According to reports, Amanda Smith, a trainee dental nurse, claims that she "can't even" and is worried that she "might die".
Reports suggest that after calling into work sick and finally convincing someone to bring her McDonalds, Ms Smith made a full recovery and is now considering continuing her birthday celebrations with another drink.

Q: SPI MOSI line only hits 1.2V for speeds above 500kHz and below 4MHz (3.3V logic) I'm trying to drive a ST7789 TFT display (datasheet) with an ATTiny-416, but for some reason SPI fails at speeds above 500kHz. So far I've had these results:

*

*500kHz: pass

*666kHz: fail

*1MHz:   fail

*2MHz:   fail

*4MHz:   pass

The 4MHz is especially strange. Technically the AVR is operating out-of-spec there, since it runs 16MHz at 3.3V (max is 10MHz for 3.3V)
Here's my SPI routine:
void SPI_init(){
    //PORTMUX.CTRLB |= (PORTMUX_SPI0_ALTERNATE_gc);
    SPI0.CTRLB = SPI_SSD_bm | SPI_MODE_3_gc;
    SPI0.CTRLA =  SPI_MASTER_bm |
                  SPI_PRESC_DIV4_gc |
                  SPI_ENABLE_bm;

    //SPI0.INTCTRL |= (SPI_IE_bm) | (SPI_RXCIE_bm);
    PORTA.DIRSET = (1<<1) | (1<<3);
    PORTA.DIRCLR = (1<<2);

    //PORTA.OUTCLR = (1<<1) | (1<<3);

    PORTA.PIN1CTRL |= (PORT_ISC_INPUT_DISABLE_gc);
    PORTA.PIN3CTRL |= (PORT_ISC_INPUT_DISABLE_gc);
}

uint8_t SPI_write(uint8_t data){
    SPI0.DATA = data;   //write dummy byte

    while(!(SPI0.INTFLAGS & SPI_IF_bm));
    return SPI0.DATA;

Q: How to show that the low energy effective bosonic sigma model is consistent : $\beta^G=\beta^B=0 \Rightarrow \beta^\phi=cnst$ I am totally stuck at an exercise regarding the consistency of nonlinear sigma model...
Let
\begin{equation}
\beta^G_{ab}=R_{ab}+2D_a D_b \phi-\frac{1}{4}H_{acd}H^{bcd}\text{, }\beta^H_{ab}=-\frac{1}{2}D^c H_{cab}+D^c\phi H_{cab}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
\beta^\phi=\frac{D-26}{6}+\alpha(-\frac{1}{2}D^2 \phi+D_c \phi D^c \phi -\frac{1}{24}H_{abc}H^{abc})
\end{equation}
where $\phi$ is a scalar field, $B_{ab}$ is an antisymmetric tensor field such that $H_{abc}=\partial_a B_{bc}+\partial_b B_{ca}+\partial_c B_{ab}$, and we are assuming a curved background spacetime. This means that $G$ is a metric field, $R_{ab}$ is the Ricci curvature, and $D$ is the covariant derivative.
I want to show that  $\beta^G_{ab}=\beta^B_{ab}=0$ implies $\beta^\phi=cnst$. I am given the following hints:
\begin{equation}
2D^a R_{ab}=\partial_b R \text{, } H_{abc} D^a H^{fbc}=\frac{1}{6}D^f H^2
\end{equation}
However, I cannot find a way to show that the covariant derivatives of $\beta^\phi$ vanish... How can one perform such 'magic' manipulation??
Could anyone help me?

Demonax
This article is about Cynic philosopher. For other uses, see Demonax (disambiguation).
Demonax (Greek: Δημώναξ, Dēmōnax, gen.: Δημώνακτος; c. AD 70 – c. 170) was a Greek Cynic philosopher. Born in Cyprus, he moved to Athens, where his wisdom, and his skill in solving disputes, earned him the admiration of the citizens. He taught Lucian, who wrote a Life of Demonax in praise of his teacher. When he died he received a magnificent public funeral.
2 Lucian's Life of Demonax
The only source known for the life of Demonax is Lucian, who describes Demonax in glowing terms, in contrast to the disreputable Cynics whom Lucian reviled.[1] He is not mentioned by any other contemporary writer. He is mentioned in the 5th century by Eunapius, but only because he knows of him from Lucian's work.[2] It is possible, therefore, that Demonax is a character invented by Lucian. There are, however, some sayings attributed to Demonax found in anthologies compiled by later writers which are not found in Lucian's work.[3]
Demonax was born c. 70 AD,[4] in Cyprus, where he belonged to an influential family.[5] He was led by a love of philosophy to become a philosopher. He was taught by the best philosophers of the day, including Agathobulus, Demetrius, and Epictetus.[5] He eventually moved to Athens, where he seems initially to have offended the citizens,[6] but eventually he came to be regarded with reverence for his resolute character:
To a natural impulse towards the good, an innate yearning for philosophy which manifested itself in childish years, that he owed his superiority to all the things that ordinary men pursue. He took independence and candour for his guiding principles, lived himself an upright, wholesome, irreproachable life, and exhibited to all who saw or heard him the model of his own disposition and philosophic sincerity.[5]
He is described as a peace-maker, able to bring harmony between husband and wife, and to solve disputes between brothers.[7] Lucian compares him to both Socrates and Diogenes,[8] and when Demonax was asked which philosophers he preferred, he is said to have replied, "I admire them all; Socrates I revere, Diogenes I admire, Aristippus I love."[9]
When Demonax was once asked why he never sacrificed to Athena, he replied, "he did not sacrifice to Athena, because she could not want his offerings." Similarly, he avoided initiation into the Eleusian Mysteries, saying, "if the mysteries were bad, no one ought to be initiated; if good, they should be divulged to everybody."[6]
He apparently lived to be nearly a hundred,[9] by which time the Athenians loved him dearly:
Not Athens only, but all Greece was so in love with him that as he passed the great would give him place and there would be a general hush. Towards the end of his long life he would go uninvited into the first house that offered, and there get his dinner and his bed, the household regarding it as the visit of some heavenly being which brought them a blessing. When they saw him go by, the baker-wives would contend for the honour of supplying him, and a happy woman was the actual donor. Children too used to call him father, and bring him offerings of fruit.[10]
He was said to have died (c. 170 AD) by starving himself,[11] and the Athenians gave him a magnificent public funeral.[12]
The crater Demonax on the Moon is named after him. Demonax is also a genus of longicorn beetles (Cerambycidae), characterised in part by possessing several spines on their antennae.
Lucian's Life of Demonax[edit]
Most of Lucian's account of Demonax is filled with pithy sayings in order to illustrate Demonax's wit. Long lists of anecdotes (known as chreia), were often collected concerning philosophers, especially Cynic philosophers, in order to demonstrate their character and wit:
When he once had a winter voyage to make, a friend asked how he liked the thought of being capsized and becoming food for fishes. "I should be very unreasonable to mind giving them a meal, considering how many they have given me."[13]
To a rhetorician who had given a very poor declamation he recommended constant practice. "Why, I am always practising to myself," said the man. "Ah, that accounts for it; you are accustomed to such a foolish audience."[14]
When someone asked him who he thinks as a truly happy man, he replied "the truly happy man is the free man. I'm talking about the one who neither hopes nor fears anything."[15]

:) I just joined today. I found this site while doing a search for "researching scams."
I am a full-time homemaker of 3 girls (4, 3, and 1) and have been searching the internet where I can stay at home and not feel guilty about helping out with the bills. God love my husband, he is the one who wants me to stay home with the kids. (But then again, me loosing my voice, having a mass amount of gray hair or going bald in one spot...I think I would rather go back to work :D ) Just kidding!
I have been scammed so much, that I am skeptical about everything out there. What really pisses me off is the other mother's who state they know how it is, and come join them in their business where you have support, make money and no selling. You know, I like to shoot every one of them! How could they. :eek: Don't they have a heart or conscious? Oh yea, I forgot...money being the root of all evil. They just want you to get them the money! I guess I have too big of a heart or a conscious where I can't sucker people into their webs and make them give up part of their budget. My husband is in the construction business, we have 1 income and when winter comes it's unemployment. So, we live pay-check to pay-check, and I'll be damned if I make another mom give part of it just to make me money.
Sorry....gabbling, can't help it when you have 3 kids and no adult conversation.
Just wanted to say I love this site. I'm glad there are people in here that will speak their mind and tell people up front if your getting scammed or not instead of footing around to make money.
I hope you will continue to enjoy yourself and find this a valuable site for information. It's always nice to have other's opinions and know what their experiences have been Before you make a decision to join a company.

President-elect Joe Biden expected to name Antony Blinken as secretary of state, sources say
By Lara Jakes, Michael Crowley and David E. Sanger
The New York Times |
Then-deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken speaks during a press briefing at the White House on July 28, 2014. (The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON — Antony J. Blinken, a defender of global alliances and one of President-elect Joe Biden's closest foreign policy advisers, is expected to be nominated for secretary of state, a job in which he will attempt to coalesce skeptical international partners into a new competition with China, according to people close to the process.
Blinken, 58, a former deputy secretary of state under President Barack Obama and a guitar aficionado, began his career at the State Department during the Clinton administration. His extensive foreign policy credentials are expected to help calm U.S. diplomats and global leaders alike after four years of the Trump administration's ricocheting strategies and nationalist swaggering.
He has been at Biden's side for nearly 20 years, including as his top aide on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and later as Biden's national security adviser when he was vice president. In that role, Blinken helped develop the U.S. response to political upheaval and ensuing instability across the Middle East, with mixed results in Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Libya.

But chief among his new priorities will be to reestablish the United States as a trusted ally that is ready to rejoin global agreements and institutions — including the Paris climate accord, the Iran nuclear deal and the World Health Organization — that were jettisoned by President Donald Trump.
"Simply put, the big problems that we face as a country and as a planet, whether it's climate change, whether it's a pandemic, whether it's the spread of bad weapons — to state the obvious, none of these have unilateral solutions," Blinken said this past summer. "Even a country as powerful as the United States can't handle them alone."
Working with other countries, Blinken said in the same July forum at the Hudson Institute, could have the added benefit of confronting another top diplomatic challenge: competing with China by choosing multilateral efforts to advance trade, technology investments and human rights — instead of forcing individual nations to choose between the two superpowers' economies.
That likely means diplomatic time spent forging stronger ties with India and across the Indo-Pacific region, where 14 nations recently signed one of the world's largest free trade agreements with China. It also could bring an effort to deepen engagement across Africa, where China has made inroads with technology and infrastructure investments, and recognize Europe as a partner of "first resort, not last resort, when it comes to contending with the challenges we face," he said at the Hudson Institute.
Described by some as a centrist with a streak of interventionism, Blinken has also sought to lessen refugee crises and migration. On the last day of the Obama administration, the State Department set a cap of 110,000 refugees who would be allowed to resettle in the U.S. in the 2017 fiscal year. That number has since dwindled to 15,000 in the 2021 fiscal year.
He has said he will look to further assist Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — the Northern Triangle countries of Central America — to convince migrants that they will be safer and better off by remaining home.
That all will likely leave less time and resources for the Middle East, he has said, although that was the policy area that consumed Blinken in the years after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
He helped craft Biden's proposal in the Senate to create three autonomous regions in Iraq, partitioned by ethnic or sectarian identity, which was widely rejected, including by the country's prime minister at the time. During the Obama administration, Blinken was a key player in diplomatic efforts to harness more than 60 countries to counter the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.
In contrast to some of his pricklier colleagues in the Obama administration, Blinken chatted up journalists in Baghdad in 2012 for insights beyond what soldiers, diplomats and intelligence officers who were hemmed inside the embassy compound could provide.
Before taking a job at the State Department's bureau for European policy in 1993, Blinken had aspired to be a journalist or film producer. He honed media skills by becoming a foreign policy speechwriter for President Bill Clinton and, later, oversaw European and Canadian policy on the White House National Security Council.

Blinken grew up in New York and in Paris, graduating from Harvard University and Columbia Law School. He is also the stepson of a Holocaust survivor and has often spoken of the moral example the United States sets for the rest of the world.
"In times of crisis or calamity, it is the United States that the world turns to first and always," Blinken said at a 2015 speech at the Center for a New American Security.
"We are not the leader of first choice because we're always right or because we're universally liked or because we can dictate outcomes," he said. "It's because we strive to the best of our ability to align our actions with our principles, and because American leadership has a unique ability to mobilize others and to make a difference."

The specialist lender says that being able to offer a comprehensive level of integration has rapidly moved from a nice-to-have factor to almost essential.
Paul Burgess, CEO, explained: "The speed of this development has been really noticeable and is probably indicative of the way in which dealers are quite suddenly taking much more seriously the need to offer motor finance online.
"When talking to dealer groups, especially the larger ones that we tend to work with, being able to show a high level of capability when it comes to integrating with their online systems has progressed to become a must-have.
Part of the impetus for increased level of online used car facilitation came from dealer groups who were actively looking to drive their online presence while new car sales remained sluggish, Paul said.
"We have a number of customers who specialise in the mainstream used car market who are having quite a big drive towards maximising the potential of online sales, often based around particular models or types of car at certain price points with PCP.
He added that the picture was complicated slightly by the fact that some established lenders seemed to tighten up their lending rules when it came to online provision.
"This is something that we hear both anecdotally from dealers and from other lenders, that the kind of customer who would be approved if they are sitting across the desk from you is quite often turned down for an online application.
"To some extent, it is understandable – online is a more physically remote process than providing finance for a customer in a showroom, the profile of applicants is often different, and some lenders are nervous. However, it is also indicative of a slightly old-fashioned attitude to digital business and there is no doubt that some dealers find it very frustrating.

Whittier's Poem
In the mid-1880's, a group of Quakers headed west to settle a new colony in California. They settled against the hills and named the new township after Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Whittier's Earliest Photographs
This fascinating DVD takes you back to those first days of Whittier with amazing images and stories from 1880 to 1913. Whittier Boulevard was still the El Camino Real and former Mexican Governor of California Pio Pico socialized with the Quakers at the Bailey's house.
Interview with... "The Oldest Man In Whittier" Born and raised in Whittier, Monte Wicker isn't really "The Oldest Man in Whittier". But, he is old enough to have great stories about the people and places in the photographs, and his childhood neighbors did race horses on Whittier Boulevard with Don Pio Pico.

Unai Emery suggests Xhaka may have played last game for Arsenal
Losing Xhaka a big short-term problem with midfield threadbare for Leicester test

Unai Emery has admitted for the first time Granit Xhaka may not play for Arsenal again, with the troubled midfielder informing the manager he is not available for selection.
Xhaka will not travel to Leicester for tonight's fixture, meaning he will miss a fourth consecutive match since his stormy departure from the Emirates Stadium pitch against Crystal Palace in October. He was relieved of the captaincy this week, and Emery floated the possibility he may have played his final match for the club.
"As a coach I have a responsibility for the team: we need a player like Granit Xhaka," Emery said. "But also, I don't know if he's going to play [for us] again. I don't know because, if he is available in his mind to continue helping us and continue defending the Arsenal shirt, I think time is giving us that solution. Then, if I decide he is in the group with us, if he is ready and 100 per cent in his mind with the decision to help us – we have a solution."
While Emery was emphatic in stating Xhaka's absence is "my decision, 100 per cent", he has had little option but to make that call given the Switzerland international has made his own feelings clear. "He said to me that he is not available yet to play; not Wednesday [the 1-1 draw at Vitória Guimarães], not tomorrow," he said.
Even if the wider ramifications are yet to become entirely clear, losing Xhaka deals Emery a significant short-term problem. Dani Ceballos, who limped off in Guimarães, will miss the Leicester game and Arsenal are running out of recognised first-team midfielders.
"After Ceballos's injury we have one less player to use tomorrow in the midfield and we now don't really have a lot of players to play in this position," he said. "It's important now to [continue] without Granit Xhaka but I don't know; maybe he can play in the future, maybe he can't play."
Transfer request
Arsenal are already making plans for the latter scenario and, when asked whether he had spoken to the club about the eventuality of Xhaka moving on in January and requiring a replacement, Emery said: "Yes, I asked that question. The club knows the player's decision at any moment, and my decision or idea about that situation and the circumstances."
It is hardly outlandish to think Xhaka will seek a transfer as soon as the transfer window opens but the head coach would not say whether the player had already asked to leave. "I am not thinking about that because we are in November and we are going to play a lot of matches in November and December," he said. "We cannot change him in that two months."
Emery was reflective on the subject of Arsenal's season, which feels on a knife-edge going into a meeting with Brendan Rodgers' third-placed side. A defeat would put them nine points behind Leicester and recent performances have offered little encouragement the gap will be narrowed. But Emery pointed out a pile-up of what, in his eyes, are mitigating off-field factors that have weighed Arsenal down beyond Xhaka's spat with the fan base, including the August departure of the former captain Laurent Koscielny and the car-jacking incident that beset Mesut Özil and Sead Kolasinac shortly before the campaign began.
"I'm not really disappointed with our work," he said. "I am being realistic because some circumstances did not help us to achieve the best emotional balance. Özil's circumstances, Kolasinac, Laurent Koscielny's circumstance. Remember also that, if he was here, the captain would be Koscielny and that would give us no problem."
Not imposing
He accepted Arsenal "didn't impose as I want" his plans in recent games, though, and cited the Leicester game as an ideal opportunity to put things right. David Luiz and the new captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will both return to the starting line-up after being rested in midweek and there may well be a second consecutive league appearance for Özil, who was one of the better performers in the draw with Wolves last Saturday.
"The most important thing is our mentality and going there thinking 'We are Arsenal'," he said, and such an attitude will be crucial given that his team have been cast as outsiders to win the game. "We will go there with confidence and also strong in our mentality to be together and go to work against them." – Guardian

20 SEP 2015 Report Talence, France
Coertzen and Zsivoczky-Farkas turn the tables to win in Talence
South Africa's Willem Coertzen and Hungary's Gyorgyi Zsivoczky-Farkas both put in storming second-day performances to secure wins at the 39th Decastar combined events meeting on a sun-drenched Sunday (20) in Talence.
Day two of action in the southwest of France also brought the IAAF Combined Events Challenge series to an end for 2015. Russia's Ilya Shkurenev finished in third in Talence to secure the decathlon title, while Latvia's Laura Ikauniece-Admidina – who was not competing in Talence – was gifted the heptathlon crown after Nadine Broersen, the only woman able to displace her at the top of the standings, withdrew injured during the long jump.
Trailing Ukraine's Oleksiy Kasyanov by 72 points at the halfway stage, Coertzen had work to do on the second day in Talence.
The gulf widened after the first event of the day, as Kasyanov clocked a PB of 13.92 in the 110m hurdles; the fastest time of the field. Coertzen was second fastest overall with 14.27 to leapfrog Kurt Felix, who clocked a 14.85.
In the discus, Kasyanov was again the best in class, throwing 48.35m in the first round.
Coertzen posted a best of 43.69m, while Felix's 45.09m saw him move back up to second overall, and at that point it looked like the Grenadian would be the more likely challenger for the win.
With a 199-point gap between first and second, Felix needed a strong pole vault if he was to put any pressure on Kasyanov, but the Pan American Games silver medallist failed all three attempts at his opening height of 4.25m to put him out of the running.
With the raucous crowd spilling on to the track, just yards from the pit that had been set up in front of the main stand, Coertzen took up the mantle. He cleared a personal best of 4.65m, eclipsing Kasyanov's 4.55m best to reduce the gap to 184 points.
Shkurenev was the clear winner of the event with a 5.25m best, moving him from ninth to third place in the standings.
Coertzen followed up his PB performance in the pole vault with a javelin throw approaching his best. His 67.21m was the longest effort of all the athletes, while Kasyanov's 46.98m effort was the second shortest. Shkurenev recorded a solid 60.09m to cement his third place standing.
Those javelin heroics brought Coertzen's tally to 7479, giving him a 119-point lead going into the 1500m decider. With the home straight cast in long, lazy shadows on a blissful autumnal evening, the South African eased home in 4:35.64 to wrap up the win with 8187 points.
"Usually the javelin is my strong event and I know Kasyanov's is not the best so I was waiting and waiting in anticipation for the javelin," said Coertzen after becoming the first African winner at the Decastar meeting. "And then the 1500m – I can run a lot quicker than that but I just had to do what I needed to do. Basically I just took a nice little jog around the track."
That nice little jog was indeed enough, as Kasyanov was four seconds back to finish in second with 8043.
The French crowd were wooed by home favourite Gael Querin, who had earlier posted a personal best of 5.05m in the pole vault, and won the 1500m in 4:20.44 to finish fourth overall with 7914.
Meanwhile, Shkurenev was in cruise mode as he finished his day with a 4:41.44 1500m to amass 7973 points, confirming him as the year's Combined Events Challenge champion.
Zsivoczky-Farkas takes advantage
She might have been down in fifth and 191 points off the lead overnight, but Gyorgyi Zsivoczky-Farkas wasn't in the mood for coasting.
In front of a packed and noisy stand at the Stade de Thouars, she recorded the second-best mark of the day in the long jump, going out to 6.26m to move up to fourth.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson, leader after day one, recorded only one legal jump, a second-round 6.17m effort. Her lead was cut to a single point as Anastasiya Mokhnyuk notched a leap of 6.32m with her first jump that she didn't improve on.
Nadine Visser looked disappointed with her best effort of 6.09m, which meant she dropped to third, 48 points off the lead.
Her fellow Dutchwoman Nadine Broersen retired injured following two fouls, scuppering her chances of retaining her Combined Events Challenge crown.
It soon became clear that Johnson-Thompson was also struggling with injury.
She attempted only one throw in the javelin, posting 29.15m off a short run up in round two that proved to be her last involvement in the competition.
Mokhnyuk's second-round PB of 39.76m gave her the overall lead, 76 points ahead of Zsivoczky-Farkas, who threw 45.82m to move into second.
Nadine Visser's best of 38.14m meant she stayed in third, just two points behind Zsivoczky-Farkas. Ivana Dadic threw a PB 52.48m – the best throw of the day – to move into fourth overall.
With just 78 points separating the top three, the 800m provided a dramatic end to the contest. Zsivoczky-Farkas came home first in a personal best of 2:11.88 to win with 6306 – the second-best haul of her career.
"I never thought that I could win this Decastar," said a delighted Zsivoczky-Farkas. "I always want to do my best and focus on the event I'm doing. I was very happy because this is my second-best result and I did two PBs here. It's a very good atmosphere here, it's good to compete here because the people are very supporting and it helps a lot."
Mokhnyuk's 2:17.75 in the 800m meant she just clung on to second place with 6269 points ahead of 20-year-old Visser, who ran a personal best of 2:13.08 to finish with 6257. Fourth place went to Dadic, who improved her own Austrian record by scoring 6151.

Here's something that will make your blood boil. Take a look at these pictures I took at Yokuts and Beach parks down by the Kern River. What are people thinking?
They probably care for their homes as well as they care for our parks and common areas.
You wanted water in the river. These are the type of people you attract. Congratualtions.
Send them home and let them trash their own country.
Very disheartening. This is OUR community. Have some respect for yourself and others - clean up after yourself.
Unfortunately I doubt those who cause the mess will ever change their (or their children's) ways or read this for that matter.
It's troublesome to think that the river could be a great asset to this community, only to be treated like a infinite water source for ag and a trash receptacle for recreation seekers.
It is a terrible thing but complaining will only get you so far. How about organizing a clean-up crew? I walk the bluffs all the time and whenever I see trash, which is not often, I pick it up and run it to the trash can. Are there receptacles near the river along those parks? Can people be cited for trashing up the area? Can signs be posted? I think a clean-up drive on a weekend when people are out there would do some good and serve as a way to show the messy ones that they need to quit being kids and clean it up. We need to lead by example. Or call the city or county and get those Work Release Program or juvenile inmates out there to clean up the mess. I have seen them along the freeways and it seems to help.
Isn't it illegal to drink at parks and river? Sounds like police to do some patrolling and citations.
I was in favor of water in the river until now. I've changed my mind. Post these pics in The Californian, please.
Why would anyone want to swim in this river? It truly looks like a third world country. They are probably crapping in the river too. YUK. Similar to what a WalMart parking lot looks like.
I drive by this everyday from Round Mountain road. I was just commenting to my wife about the mess down by the river. It's Horrible.

What is the test applied in medical malpractice cases in Canada where a specialist failed to possess or exercise reasonable degree of learning and skill possessed by the average specialist?
The following excerpt is from Crawford v. Penney, 2003 CanLII 32636 (ON SC):
The last sentence quoted is consistent with the test applied in Canada in medical malpractice cases where negligence is established by proof that the specialist failed to possess or to exercise the reasonable degree of learning and skill possessed by the average specialist in the field. See Wilson v. Swanson, 1956 CanLII 1 (SCC), [1956] S.C.R. 804, at p. 817. Professional opinions expressed have an important bearing on the latter test but, in my view, it is for the trier of fact to weigh the conflicting testimony and ultimately assess the weight to be given to the evidence.

Nowadays, lots of men and women install patio inside their basement. This ideas will be ideal, particularly for family members that dwell in a little property. There are many kinds of patio awning ideas. The designs are made to meet men and women's needs and tastes.
Gray is going to likely be the very first option we wanted for your requirements personally. Gray is neutral and trendy. The correct application will create your patio seem more spacious and great. You may utilize it for the wall, vanity, or even the drapes at the patio like drape, dividers, and also many more. For your optimal/optimally outcome, you better combine it together with almost any comparison colour.
The patio cabinet we purchase should: Be nontoxic cloth, Be ageless and be powerful adequate to handle rust, humidity, scratch, stain, mould, etc.. To buy this variety of cupboard is not that basic even to get a patio with sauna facility. We will need to understand a few critical things for example below.
Soft jelqing could be your consideration for patio tone. It gives warm and cozy mood. Aside from that, it's quite convenient when it regards the comforting disposition. It might be combined with other contrast colors such as light blue, green, and pink. Soft taupe may be the appropriate choice if your objective is attracting the lavish shades in your house patio.
You can always do this step into DIY mode. Supplying an open plate over the vanity can enable the occupants keep close with all the towels immediately after washing machine . Just ensure that the shelf is matched with all the patio model. Of course in the event that you only require something fresh, you can place a coat rack at the patio for towels stand alone. It looks fantastic and exclusive on your patio. Besides that this is only one of those patio awning ideas.


Hey, My TV Just Crashed!
There's a little-known fact: you don't need to buy set-top boxes or gaming consoles to enjoy digital media on your TV. Unfortunately, buying more hardware is oftentimes the easier–although more limited–option at the moment.
I just got a great deal on a nicely equipped Samsung LCD television. It comes equipped with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) client software. DLNA is an industry specification that allows devices to share content over a home network.
DLNA servers share content that is played and viewed on clients like televisions. Samsung provides free software to turn your PC into a home media server.
Easy, you might think. Wrong. Samsung's DLNA server software only works on Windows, and the application's interface is hardly intuitive. Weaker yet, the client can only play a limited volume of codecs, and has no support for copy-protected media. The average non-geek would be in over his or her head.
I have a Mac, so I loaded the software onto Windows 7 via Parallels. My TV did not recognize my virtualized DLNA server. So, I then did some digging on Google, and happened upon a very helpful blog post reviewing DLNA servers for Macs.
After reading through the blog, I installed software called EyeConnect. EyeConnect worked, but much of my media library was off limits due to Apple's DRM restrictions. Pictures did not display at all, for whatever reason.
However, EyeConnect inspired me–it had plug-ins. Why couldn't it have plug-ins for Hulu or NetFlix? That led me to PlayOn. Playon streams video from an impressively broad selection of sources, but wasn't available for my Mac. I eventually got it to work in Windows after tweaking Parallels' settings.
My Samsung recognized PlayOn, but the experience left me unconvinced. Hulu videos either wouldn't load (citing codec issues) or would take a long time to load – even over a Wireless-N broadband router. My TV also crapped out several times, forcibly rebooting itself.
Now, I am at a crossroads. Do I run LAN cable across my living room floor and into my bedroom to hook into my Mac (or drill through the wall of my apartment)? Since my Samsung does not include Internet widgets for direct access to online video and audio, as some new models do, it may be my most economical option.
A Boxee box or gaming console would also work, but why buy additional hardware when I already have the plumbing? More interoperability testing is desperately needed. Psst…Apple–how about opening up Apple TV to developers (and ditch the DRM)?
I still think DLNA shows promise, but years after its debut, it still doesn't feel like it's ready for promise–which might help explain why it's never become a household name. I'm also pleased with my Samsung flatscreen, but I've got to say: Until today, I never saw a TV set crash.
I use PlayOn with my PS3 and Xbox 360. It's not perfect, and used to be a lot worse, but it seems to get more stable with every update. A one time $40 charge gets you access to Hulu, CBS, NBC and more, plus you can install scripts that let you access even more Web video sites, like Adult Swim and the Food Network.
That doesn't really help you, I know, but I definitely recommend it for anyone who has a gaming console and wants to catch up on LOST on the big screen.
@jared The PS3 might be a fun solution. It's been forever since I've played games. The Wii looks good too – especially with the interactive games like bowling and tennis.
When I had my Mac I discovered PS3 Media Server to serve videos to my PS3 (but it will serve to any DLNA device, such as an XBox, and most likely to your TV). I can't recall the link, but it's a Java based app, runs in Windows, Mac or Linux. Great little app, does on-the-fly conversion as well if you've got a machine powerful enough to handle it.
@ryan I tried that, but it wouldn't recognize the TV client device.
Excellent post. This is the kind of article I keep coming back to Technologizer for.
It's amazing someone would release a product so poorly thought out given that AppleTV, a decent product, has had only modest success. And, to bring it out without easy Mac support is a real head scrather. They should oust the project manager.
Of course, this is Samsung we are talking about. I have a Samsung "dumb" phone. It is horrible; it is worse even than similar offerings I've owned from Motorola. To be worse at interface design than Motorola takes real, if perverse, talent.
I too recently purchased a Samsung 8000 series LED HDTV and have a (new) iMac. Since I use a TivoHD for all viewing, I run pyTivo on the iMac. All the HD videos on my iMac are available from the TivoHD.
Not a cheap solution since it requires TivoHD, but installation on Mac was a breeze and it works reliably.
The @Internet widgets available for Samsung HDTV are a joke… no web browser and very, very, very slow. A total waste.
The Sumsung DLNA software is indeed quite poor, although the latest release does at least work without crashing. I've found that Nero's MediaHome server is much more robust and easier to set up. It was a throw-in with their new Media Suite. Windows only, though, I believe. And it can be slow loading files.
I just have an old PC hooked up to the TV. It can play any video file my desktop can, and with VLC I can stream videos to it if I'm feeling too lazy to copy them over FTP. It can do Hulu, Clicker, YouTube, Netflix, just about any video file, it doesn't need any special software, and because it's still a computer it can run be used for gaming. (Well, anything that runs on a 2.6 gig Pentium 4, anyway.) I've got a homemade serial port infrared reciever, WinLIRC, and AutoHotKey set up, so it works with either an old VCR remote or the DVD player remote for the Playstation 2.
It's a little more work to set up, but in my opinion it pays off with a much nicer, more flexible result.
I say LAN cable. It would pull all of your decor together, no matter what decor you have!
Also, if you got an old computer (some old laptops are good for this too, as long as your TV has a VGA connector), you can use that as a media server, hooked up to your TV. Even the old Pentium 4s can throw out 1080p given the correct 3D acceleration. Put a two terabyte hard drive and Blu-Ray drive in there and you have plenty of room for full-resolution Blu-Ray rips.
The DRM is there because movie companies won't license their titles for DRM-free sales. That's why there is DRM on DVD and Blu-Ray and Netflix also.
The AppleTV that's open to developers is called "Mac mini". The AppleTV has the equivalent hardware to a DVD player, it's just a DVD player with the disc part replaced by a hard disk and Wi-Fi. The CPU is not powerful enough to decode video and it's supposed to sleep most of the time so as not to burn a hole in the box. The video is decoded by the GPU which can only decode MPEG-4 in the same way a DVD player can only decode MPEG-2.
DLNA is basically a really bad AppleTV with a TV built in. I would just have purchased an AppleTV and a large computer display and that would be that. I'm much happier with FrontRow instead of DLNA.
> Until today, I never saw a TV set crash.
DLNA runs Windows, right? Can it get viruses?
What tweaking was needed in Parallels settings to get PlayOn to work please? I'm trying to get a DLNA server running on a mostly idle Windows 7 VM but my TV doesn't see it.

Nedved: 'Dybala? We're still working'
Juventus Vice-President Pavel Nedved refused to rule out a sale of Paulo Dybala while describing the Bianconeri's Champions League group as "tough."
Nedved was in present for the group stage draw as well as the annual award for the Champions League player of the year, won this year by Virgil Van Djik.
"Maybe I expected Cristiano Ronaldo to win the award, but we accept everything," Nedved told Sky Sport Italia.
"It's a tough group for me, not easy at all, but it's the Champions League and there are no easy groups.
"The objective is to get past the group phase, that is the first step. We changed a lot, I believe we improved, have a new Coach and players, so I believe we are ready for a great season.
"We know Atletico Madrid, we already faced them in pre-season and it is always tough against Cholo Simeone. Leverkusen are very tough, especially on their travels.
"Lokomotiv Moscow have a lot of foreign players and it's a long trip to get there. We've got a lot of issues to deal with, but we are confident.
"Sarri? We announced it is best for him to stay out for two games. I think we'll see him straight after the break for international duty. Pneumonia is nothing to be sniffed at, it's best he takes time to fully recover.
"Dybala? I think as long as the market is open, we work both looking in and out. Anything can happen, every team is working to bring players in and move players out. We are no different."

Poetry at Beinecke Library
Susan Howe Awarded Bollingen Prize
Posted in Announcements, Beinecke Collections, Poetry at Yale by beineckepoetry on February 24, 2011
Susan Howe has been named the 2011 winner of Yale University's Bollingen Prize in American Poetry.
Of Susan Howe's most recent book, the three member judging committee said: "Susan Howe is a fierce elegist. That This, prompted by the sudden death of the poet's husband, makes manifest the raw edges of elegy through the collision of verse and prose, visionary lyricism and mundane incident, ekphrasis, visual patterning, and the reclamation of historical documents. The book culminates in a set of luminous and starkly condensed lyrics moving increasingly toward silence."
Born in 1937 in Boston, Massachusetts, Susan Howe is the author of numerous previous volumes of poetry, including The Midnight (2003), Kidnapped (2002), Pierce-Arrow (1999), Frame Structures: Early Poems 1974-1979 (1996), The Nonconformist's Memorial (1993), The Europe of Trusts: Selected Poems (1990), and Singularities (1990). Howe is also the author of two books of criticism: The Birth-Mark: Unsettling the Wilderness in American Literary History (1993), named "International Book of the Year" by the Times Literary Supplement, and My Emily Dickinson (1985). Susan Howe was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1999 and a Chancellor of The Academy of American Poets in 2000; she has been a fellow at The American Academy in Berlin and a distinguished fellow at the Stanford Institute of the Humanities. She held the Samuel P. Capen Chair of Poetry and the Humanities at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and has recently taught at Princeton, University of Chicago, University of Utah, and Wesleyan University.
Of Susan Howe's work, the judges said: "In more than three decades of writing, Susan Howe has discovered the ground of a new American poetry, one that combines the most unlikely elements: history and mysticism, Puritan New England devotional writing and the Irish folk Ballad, visual lyricism and dramatic narrative, scholarship and memoir. Her work has transformed key sources from the American literary and philosophical traditions—Dickinson, Melville, Perce, and Edwards. 'More and more,' Howe writes in That This, 'I have the sense of being present at a point of absence where crossing centuries may prove to be like crossing languages.' Susan Howe has given American poetry a new voice and a new language."
The Bollingen Prize in American Poetry, established by Paul Mellon in 1949, is awarded biennially by the Yale University Library to an American poet for the best book published during the previous two years or for lifetime achievement in poetry. From its controversial beginnings in 1948, when the Fellows in American Letters of the Library of Congress awarded the prize to Ezra Pound for The Pisan Cantos, the Bollingen Prize has honored the literary accomplishments of poets whose work continues to define modern American literature. The prize includes a cash award of $100,000. Among the most prestigious prizes available to American writers, the Bollingen Prize for Poetry has been a force in shaping contemporary American letters. Early Bollingen Prize winners—Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, Marianne Moore, E.E. Cummings—are today widely considered to be writers whose work defined a new American literature of the twentieth century. More recent winners—John Ashbery, Robert Creeley, Louise Glück, Anthony Hecht, John Hollander, Gary Snyder, Jay Wright, and Adrienne Rich—represent exciting stylistic diversity in American writing. Throughout its history, the Bollingen Prize for Poetry has recognized and celebrated the very best in American poetry.
This year's judges were poet Peter Gizzi, literary critic Marjorie Perloff, and poet and playwright Claudia Rankine. Peter Gizzi is the author of numerous collections of poetry, including most recently The Outernationale; Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Gizzi is currently The Judith E. Wilson Visiting Fellow in Poetry at Cambridge University. Marjorie Perloff is the author of nearly twenty books about modern and contemporary poetry, including most recently Unoriginal Genius: Poetry by Other Means in the New Century. She is Professor Emerita of English at Stanford University and currently Scholar-in-Residence at the University of Southern California. Claudia Rankine is the author of several collections of poetry, including Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric.

After some successful productions for Kylie Minogue, Tina Turner or Tom Jones, and a lot of high standard releases it was time for 7th District to recharge the battery to full maximum. Now they are back strong as ever.
The new single is more than a smart surprise. "Schmetterlinge im Bauch" is the first song from 7th District in German language. The idea to the lyrics came allegedly due to the intense consumption of the American tv-series Californication with David Duchovny as unproductive writer Hank Moody.
"Schmetterlinge im Bauch" is a songline which in this special case sounds better in German than in English (Butterflies in my stomach). German language poetry is hardly known in the international context and the implementation is not so easy. The result is all the more remarkable.
The vocals of Leon Oak give the track its dreamy nuance. "The song conveys a nice feeling of ease. Imagine, one is lying on a meadow, the sun is shining and you dream of a girl", describes Leon Oak his relationship to the track. "I usually sing melancholic songs. It was a challenge for me to interpret a positive pop song. But it was great fun. I was surprised how well the song fits my voice."
Leon Oak, 22 year old singer from Lower Bavaria, made famous by "I'm So High" with the DJ Duo Norwood & Hills is one of the most exciting young voices in Germany.
7th District creates reliable, reduced beats with punctured Deep House sounds bold to perforate. Always danceable, but maintaining the positive basic mood. This cleverness makes "Schmetterlinge im Bauch" to a smart pop song.
"Schmetterlinge im Bauch" is one of those songs that you can become addicted to after listening once. At the Tiburon Beach Club on Formentera pretested and enthusiastically approved by a critical audience.
Are you ready for a cool slice of "butterfly" feeling?
On Remix duty we start off with Sascha Kloeber from Germany, who's remix adds in a bit of a cool casual sounds combined together with a fresh tech electronica feel. The level of depth in this superb remix means that you'll hear something new on every listen.
Up next we have Dj Blackstone stripped back and dancefloor infused Remix, which keeps the integrity of the original while adding in his signature melodic sound. DJ Blackstone is well known for his remixes. He had an successful release on Uk´s Label Zulu Records.
Last but not least Remix comes from DeepFM, who is quickly becoming a common name on the Royal Plastic Label. They offers up the most Beach Club oriented track off the single, with house tinged and lush grooves woven together with intricate and lovely melodies, showcasing the moody melody from the Original as a centerpiece.
Phones all over Ibiza are up searching for this song at Shazam.


Background: No drug treatment capable of restoring locomotor capabilities in patients suffering a motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) has ever been developed. We assessed the safety and efficacy of an activator of spinal locomotor neurons in humans, which were shown in paraplegic animals to elicit temporary episodes of involuntary walking.
Methods: Single administration of buspirone/levodopa/carbidopa (SpinalonTM), levodopa/carbidopa (ratio 4: 1), and buspirone or placebo was performed using a dose-escalation design in 45 subjects placed in supine position who had had an SCI classified as complete (AIS A) or motor-complete/sensory incomplete (AIS B) for at least 3 months. Blood samples before and at regular intervals (15, 30, 60, 120, 240 min) after treatment were collected for hematological and pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses. Electromyographic (EMG) activity of eight muscles (four per leg) was monitored prior to and at several time points after drug administration.
Results: SpinalonTM (10-35 mg buspirone/100-350 mg levodopa/25-85 mg carbidopa) displayed no sign of safety concerns - only mild nausea was found in 3 cases. At higher doses, 50 mg/500 mg/125 mg SpinalonTM was considered to have reached maximum tolerated dose (MTD) since 3 out of 4 subjects experienced related adverse events including vomiting. PK analyses showed comparable data between groups suggesting no significant drugdrug interaction with SpinalonTM. Only the SpinalonTM–treated groups displayed significant EMG activity accompanied by locomotor-like characteristics - that is with rhythmic and bilaterally alternating bursts.
Conclusion: Therefore, this study provides evidence of safety and preliminary efficacy following a single administration of SpinalonTM in subjects with SCI.

Stand Up è il secondo album del gruppo di rock progressivo inglese Jethro Tull, pubblicato nel 1969.

Il disco
L'album, diversamente dal precedente This Was, è caratterizzato da un allontanamento dalle sonorità blues verso un sound più vicino al rock; ciò è probabilmente dovuto all'abbandono del chitarrista Mick Abrahams per contrasti con Ian Anderson che diventerà così leader del gruppo. Il nuovo chitarrista Martin Barre sarà l'unico membro, insieme a Anderson, a rimanere nel gruppo fino al suo scioglimento.

In Stand Up vengono utilizzati strumenti all'epoca inusuali per la musica rock dell'epoca come la balalaica, il mandolino e l'onnipresente flauto traverso. La copertina dell'album rappresenta i Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson, Martin Barre, Clive Bunker e Glenn Cornick), al suo interno vi è un pop-up dei membri del gruppo.

Stand Up può essere considerato come il "crocevia" nel quale prendono forma i vari stili e generi che i Jethro Tull affronteranno nei decenni successivi. In esso sono contenuti, infatti, i primi abbozzi di musica medievale (Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square), di rock e progressive rock (Nothing Is Easy o We Used to Know), di musica orientale (Fat Man) e di folk acustico (Look Into the Sun, Reasons for Waiting).

 A New Day Yesterday - 4:10
 Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square - 2:12

 Sweet Dream - 4:02
 17 - 3:07

A New Day Yesterday
Brano che denota l'ancora forte influenza blues presente nell'album. Il testo lamenta una relazione amorosa impossibile a causa di suoi impegni. La canzone è stata spesso riproposta dal vivo in diverse versioni radicalmente riarrangiate.

Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square
Così come Song for Jeffrey, anche la seconda traccia dell'album si riferisce a Jeffrey Hammond, amico di Anderson che, due anni più tardi, diverrà il secondo bassista della band per ordine cronologico.

Bourée
Pezzo storico della band; si tratta di un rifacimento in chiave moderna della Bourrée inserita nel quinto movimento della suite in mi minore per liuto (BWV 996) di Johann Sebastian Bach.
Il pezzo è strumentale ed esalta i virtuosismi di Ian Anderson al flauto traverso e Glenn Cornick al basso.

Back to the Family
La canzone riguarda il doppio stato d'animo che il narratore prova in riferimento al proprio stile di vita. Da una parte lo stress che non gli concede un attimo di pace: tornare a vivere in famiglia sembrerebbe la cura migliore. Dall'altra parte, una volta ritornato alla vecchia casa, la noia che lo investe facendogli ricordare i motivi per i quali se n'era andato di casa. Inizia a sentire la mancanza della vita in città, pur con tutti i problemi ("I think I enjoyed all my problems").
Ma una volta ripreso quello stile di vita, ritorna lo stress e la voglia di cambiare, come in un circolo vizioso.

Look into the Sun
Una canzone acustica d'amore.

Nothing Is Easy
Celebre l'attacco con un la sostenuto al flauto (divenuto un sol nelle odierne esibizioni live), per poi proseguire con un rock molto frenetico. Il testo, come si intuisce dal titolo, suggerisce che non c'è nulla di facile e che per superare ogni genere di difficoltà conviene fare buon viso a cattivo gioco.

Fat Man
Si tratta di un pezzo umoristico dall'aria orientaleggiante in cui Anderson semplicemente dice che non vorrebbe essere un uomo grasso e che è felice di essere magro. Vengono passate in rassegna diverse situazioni in cui l'uomo magro è avvantaggiato rispetto all'uomo grasso, tranne nel caso in cui rotolassero entrambi dalla cima di una montagna e quest'ultimo vincerebbe di sicuro. La canzone è forse una delle primissime esperienze di musica orientale della band e di Anderson che, molti anni più tardi, riprenderà questo genere.

We Used to Know

Il testo riguarda con ogni probabilità la dura vita dei componenti della band alla fine degli anni sessanta. La progressione armonica del brano ricorda molto quella della successiva Hotel California degli Eagles, al punto che sono in molti a sostenere che We Used to Know sia stata in un certo senso il banco di prova per il più famoso brano della band statunitense.

Reasons for Waiting
Altra canzone d'amore acustica, sulla scia di Look into the Sun.

For a Thousand Mothers
La canzone riflette il difficile rapporto di Ian Anderson con i propri genitori, una topica che sarà presente in diverse canzoni del successivo album Benefit, ma anche nella stessa Back to the Family.
Dal testo traspare un sentimento di rivincita da parte del narratore nei confronti dei genitori i quali sostenevano, prima della raggiunta fama, che il figlio non sarebbe mai diventato ciò che ora è (Saying I'll never be what I am now).
Il titolo ("Per mille madri") e la dedica finale suggeriscono che la canzone sia dedicata a tutti quei genitori che non concedono ai figli lo spazio per muoversi e per trovare se stessi, per scegliere la propria strada, anziché quella disegnata da mother e father.

Living in the Past
La prima bonus track inserita nella rimasterizzazione del 2001 è uno dei classici della band, edito nel 1972 nell'omonimo album.

Driving Song
Come Living in the Past anche Driving Song è stata pubblicata per la prima volta nell'album Living in the Past. Il testo commenta la dura annata in termini di impegni che dovette sostenere la band quell'anno, tre tour negli USA e due in Europa per un totale di centoquarantasette concerti, oltre alla registrazione di Stand Up.

Sweet Dream

Terza bonus track dell'album, inserita nella raccolta Living in the Past ma edita come singolo nel 1969, il testo tratta di un uomo che cerca di attrarre una giovane adolescente, promettendole l'esaudirsi di tutti i suoi desideri, anche se in realtà la vuole sfruttare come prostituta.

17
Quarta e ultima bonus track edita nel 1969 come lato B del singolo Sweet Dream. Il narratore ricorda di quando aveva diciassette anni (ne aveva ventuno quando fu composta) e della vita spensierata di quell'età.

How to Protect Yourself from Phishing Scams | Private Email
How Reagan's Administration Fought Scammers—and How you can Protect Yourself from Phishing Scams
While they have considerably changed in scope and reach, scams have been an unnecessary reality in American society for as long as anyone can remember. From fraud impacting the government to individual attacks against private citizens, scams have resulted in widespread financial loss, and put public faith in organizations, including the government, at risk.
When Ronald Reagan was in office, he made fighting scammers a top priority. This goal was in keeping with his overarching mission of cutting waste, right-siding the financial health of the government and encouraging accountability. Reagan incorporated this aim into all of his major programs and policies, such as his tax reform efforts, which closed loopholes and penalized tax dodgers.
The president also instated the Council on Integrity and Efficiency to root out any wasteful or illegal actions taken by federal employees or those scamming the federal government. He set up a hotline for individuals to report scams and promised confidentiality and protections against retaliation. "We are going to follow every lead, root out every incompetent, and prosecute any crook we find who's cheating the people of this nation," he pledged in 1981.
That same zero-tolerance attitude is still needed to fight today's scams; however, the form such fraud takes today is decidedly different, as it's most often conducted online, primarily through email. For example, phishing—in which scams disguise an email as having come from a legitimate source to solicit users' personal data—have become all-too-common. So how can you protect yourself from phishing scams?
Using a private, conservative email service is one of the best ways. Phishing scams can easily sneak into public email accounts, which have few security restrictions. Instead, a private email service offers built-in security measures, such as end-to-end encryption that ensure only valid, non-automated emails make it to the user's inbox. As digital fraud becomes more and more sophisticated, it becomes even more difficult to protect yourself from phishing scams, but common-sense approaches like a private email service are the first lines of defense.


Enegia, Finland's leading independent energy expert, is to sell its energy market services business to Gasum, the leading gas sector player in the Nordic countries. The acquisition will intensify Enegia's strategy in the strongly growing EnerKey energy management services.
"With the transaction Enegia will become a focused EnerKey-driven expert in energy management and the reorganization of Enegia's strategy started last year has now been completed We're happy that Gasum as the new energy market services owner will strengthen the further development and expansion of this business as well," says Enegia Group Oy Managing Director Kalle Ahlstedt.
"The EnerKey energy management system is the undisputed market leader in property energy data management in Finland. There is also growing international potential for these scaleable services, which creates excellent preconditions for future growth and success," says Ilari Anttila, who became CEO of Enegia Energy Management Services Oy in May.
"As the new owner, Gasum will enable the development of energy market services to be taken to a new level drawing on the diverse excellence of both companies in the energy industry," notes Vice President, Enegia's Energy Market Services Mikko Askolin.
"The energy sector and gas market are changing rapidly. The competencies of Enegia's experts will diversify and strengthen Gasum's service mix. The acquisition will enable us to offer more comprehensive services to our current customers and lead the way in the energy sector," says Gasum CEO Johanna Lamminen.


NEW DELHI (AP) — When former President Barack Obama spoke to a leadership forum in India's capital on Friday, he never once used the words "Donald Trump" and was careful to avoid any direct reference to his successor in the White House.
"Which my daughters think is odd. They were explaining to us how if you put a period at the end of a sentence it sounds harsh. I said, 'No, that's English. That's how you know the thought is finished.'"
He said he sees people getting in trouble for their tweets, and says they should follow the old advice of thinking before you speak: "Think before you tweet," Obama said. "Same principle."
He said social media is a powerful tool, for both good and ill. "And look, I've got 100 million Twitter followers. I actually have more than other people who use it more often."
Obama said he could have a debate about climate change with people who said fossil fuels were necessary for growth in poorer nations like India or people who said humans should adapt. But he said he couldn't debate with people who claimed it wasn't real.
"If you're saying it's a hoax, then there's no way for us to bridge our differences in a constructive way," Obama said.
"It's an agreement, even though we have a little bit of a pause in American leadership, that is giving our children a fighting chance," Obama said.
"And so if you see a politician doing things that are questionable, one of the things as a citizen is to ask yourself 'Am I encouraging, or supporting or giving license to the values I'm hearing out of the politician?'" Obama said. "Because frankly, politicians tend to be more of a mirror and more of a reflection of forces in the society."
"We had no evidence that the Pakistan government was aware of bin Laden's presence there," Obama said. "That is something, obviously, that we looked at. I will leave it to you to characterize beyond what I just said."
Obama didn't answer directly. He said Americans could often be kind and noble, and at other times cruel and shortsighted.
"It is just this cacophony of life. And it throws up all kinds of variety," he said. "And there are political trends in America that I don't agree with or abide by, but I recognize as part of a running thread in American life."


Since launching her first web design firm in Houston in 1997, Colvin has worked with a range of clients throughout the U.S., Brazil and the United Kingdom.
Kristi's portfolio includes work for small businesses (Like Minds, Quickie Chick, Meers Agency, Broadsuite, Inc.) to larger brands with lots of fans and users (Sporting Kansas City, Kansas City Chiefs, John Deere, Home Depot, Sourcefire, Visual CV.) Colvin has extensive experience designing enterprise software in the oil/gas and security sectors for firms in Houston, Dallas, Boston and Washington DC. Product line design and integration is a specialty she can bring to your large-scale, complex UX projects. Or… she can create an over-the-top brand that features a fishnet-wearing dog with her stylish llama pal, like ID & Spin has for her own landing page platform.
Colvin's eye for appealing design and talent for UX that gets inside your users, readers or prospects heads will have you wondering why you ever thought building your own brand was a viable solution for growing your business.
She also added tremendous value to our products by establishing and running our user experience lab. For the first time, developers got to watch their products being used by customers. This is a powerful experience that motivates them to change the functions of their products. It is much more potent than saying "marketing told us to do it." It also sent a great message to the customer, letting them know that we valued their input. It was a great experience.

The collection includes photographs, sculptures, paintings, watercolors, jewelry, cases, nameplates and other handmade items from incarcerated Japanese Americans that are typically seen at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.

West Linn author Mike Thaler regularly conducts readings from the dozens of children's books he has written in his 53 years as an author.
When Mike Thaler, the creator of the popular children's book series "The Black Lagoon," which turns 25 this year, moved to New York in the 1960s, his initial goal was to publish adult cartoons.
After selling his first cartoon picture story called "The Fallen Star" to Harper's Bazaar, his work was noticed by Ursula Nordstrom, the publisher and editor-in-chief of juvenile books at Harper & Brother's Publishers (now HarperCollins), who also discovered Maurice Sendak, the author of the children's classic book, "Where the Wild things Are."
"Ursula liked 'The Fallen Star' and asked me if I had ever thought of writing a children's book, and I said yes," Thaler explained.
The timing could not have been better -- his $100 rent was due.
So, Thaler then sat down to write "Magic Boy," published in 1961, and Nordstrom gave him a $100 advance to pay the rent.
After publishing "Magic Boy," Harper's published subsequent books, before Thaler switched publishers. Scholastic is the original publisher of the Black Lagoon series, which debuted in 1989 with the original book, "The Teacher from the Black Lagoon."
Black Lagoon became a series of 45 books, including chapter books, with 22 million books sold.
To celebrate, Scholastic is releasing three new books in the series.
Tara Perkins, teacher-librarian at West Linn's Cedaroak Park Primary and Sunset schools, said the Black Lagoon series is popular for all grades.
"What appeals is the concept. With kids just entering school, it's such a new experience and he plays off of that. The humor and the suspense appeal, and in the end it's all OK," she said.
Thaler has written more than 200 children's books in his 53 years as an author.
An Arizona newspaper dubbed him "America's Riddle King," because he had written 45 riddle books.
His newest series of books, "Tales from the Back Pew," is published by Zondervan. And he's writing another series with Hubie, the hero of the Black Lagoon series.
After having written books for so long, Thaler's seen the change in the publishing world, noting how simple things were when he first started.
He's honored that his books continue to be published.
