In recent times, the company has been sharing hints about the arrival of new DLCs for Black Ops III. These hints were backed-up by posts on Reddit, that suggested an upcoming expansion known as Zombies Chronicles.
Later, these hints and rumours were confirmed, when an early leak from the ESRB's listing, showed a description of a new add-on for Black Ops III. This leak was unforseen and had to be taken down soon after by the officials.
But, that small gap was enough for the fans to take a screenshot of it and release it on the internet. The screenshot outlines the content of the expansion pack, and doesn't contain any in-depth details of it.
However, another leak from a mexican retailer described the DLC as having 8 remastered zombies maps. Since, the leak went viral on reddit, it is unsure whether all the eight maps would be included in Black Ops III's upcoming add-on.
With all these potential information floating around the web, the next move to be made by Treyarch on this situation, is soon to be seen.

AITA to nominate Ankita, Sharan for Arjuna award
Asian Games Medal Winners Ankita Raina And Divij Sharan Are Set To Be Nominated For The Arjuna Award By The National Tennis Federation, Which Plans To Send Former Davis Cup Coach Nandan Bal's Name For The Dhyan Chand Honour.

Asian Games medal winners Ankita Raina and Divij Sharan are set to be nominated for the Arjuna award by the national tennis federation, which plans to send former Davis Cup coach Nandan Bal's name for the Dhyan Chand honour. The 27-year-old Ankita had won a women's singles bronze medal at the 2018 edition of the Asian Games and also dished out a strong performance in the Fed Cup, where she played a key role in India's qualification to the World Group play-offs for the first time. Delhi-lad Sharan had won gold medal in the men's doubles event in Jakarta along with compatriot Rohan Bopanna. He also became India's top doubles player in October 2019 before Bopanna took back the position. The 34-year-old also won two ATP titles in the 2019 season; Tata Open Maharashtra in Pune with Bopanna and at St. Petersburg with Igor Zelenay.
"They are eligible and most deserving this year for the Arjuna honour. We will recommend their nomination," All India Tennis Association (AITA) Secretary General Hironmoy Chatterjee told PTI. Ankita grabbed the spotlight with her gritty performance during the 2018 Fed Cup where she remained unbeaten in singles. Since then she has become India's best singles player on the WTA and ITF circuit, winning six USD 25k level titles and also achieved a career-best singles rank of 160 in March this year. At this year's Fed Cup, Ankita played eight matches in five days, winning two singles and three crucial doubles games with the seasoned Sania Mirza to help India qualify for the play-offs for the first time.
Bopanna was the last tennis player to get the Arjuna award in 2018. The AITA is still deliberating whether Bal's application be sent for Dronacharya award or Dhyan Chand award, which is meant to honour lifetime contributions. "We are contemplating which category is better-suited for Nandan," said Chatterjee. However, reliable sources in the All India Tennis Association (AITA) told PTI that Bal's application will be sent for the Dhyan Chand honour. Bal, 60, appeared in Davis Cup between 1980-83, playing two ties with a 2-1 win-loss record. He remained India's Davis Cup coach for many years. Till date, only three tennis players have got the Dhyan Chand honour Zeeshan Ali (2014) , SP Misra (2015) and Nitin Kirtane (2019). No tennis coach has ever got a Dronacharya award.

OK, first thing you've got to know is that like in comic books and TV, when characters die in the movies, they should stay dead…But they don't. Star Trek II was a resounding success (going on to be most people's favorite of the franchise). And in the aftermath, there was no way they were going to stop making Trek movies. So, along comes Star Trek III. But, one of the three core characters, one of the folks who made Trek what Trek was, lay dead in a photon torpedo casket on the new Eden of the Genesis Planet. What to do? Hey, remember that weird shot from the end of II, where Spock grabs McCoy's head and whispers 'remember?' Yup. Spock ain't all dead. Just mostly dead. If he were all dead, there'd only be one thing to do. Go through his pockets for loose change. But being mostly dead, he's partly alive. Thus, The Search for Spock.
With this movie, we start to see more Klingon culture, which would go on to be developed much further a few years later in The Next Generation TV series. We saw their red lights and bumpy heads, and heard the first snippets of their guttural language in The Motion Picture. But here we see more of their nature. And, we learn more about the Vulcans and their weird mystical beliefs (for logical people, they've got some pretty illogical things going on). And finally, there are the secrets of the Genesis Planet. And we have Kirk's son David back, and Savik the Vulcan (played by a new actress). David seems like less of a twit this time around, but instead, becomes a tragic hero with a flaw inherited from his father.
The frustrating thing about this movie is that it takes the positive, optimistic scientific development (the Genesis Planet) and turns it into a Frankenstein's Monster, a corrupted creation that will eventually destroy its creator. So, in Star Trek II, the morally challenging and interesting question of genetic engineering is turned into an unquestionably anti-science thing, making specific allusions to the Nazis' Aryan myths with all the blonde, blue-eyed, pretty people (Watch Space Seed. The super-people were ethnically diverse.). And then with Star Trek III, the hopeful technology for terraforming is turned into a specifically anti-science thing, an allegory for nuclear weapons. Sigh. With the exception of V'ger (which raises its own questionable ethics), are there any non-negative portrayals of science in this series? Can we get some pro-science stuff in Trek? That would be swell.

Penguin Books, I'm going to gift you with some solidarity
Dear Penguin Books UK,
Thank you so much for the New Year package you sent me. It was unexpected and delightful, especially the chocolate Santa, which went down a treat, head first. Over the last year I have supported three great books published by you: The Kid by Sapphire, for which I interviewed the author both in the Guardian and onstage at the Edinburgh International Book Festival; All That I Am by Anna Funder, a major novel which I covered in-depth here for free; and The Pleasures of Men, the first novel by historian Kate Williams, whom I interviewed for The Guardian this week, in glowing terms.
I hope it is obvious from this that I like to stand up for my sisters and am not a handmaiden of the patriarchy. Handmaiden business (I believe "grovelling" is the technical term) is boring, submissive, thankless, degrading - and not reciprocated. The reason I am a women's cultural advocate is because of the marked, obvious and ubiquitous belittlement, marginalisation and under-representation of women in culture and particularly the literary scene, despite women being the vast and overwhelming majority of supporters of all arts both within and without the industry. Some call it the glass ceiling, I call it cultural femicide.
Your surprise package contained five books, of which only one was by a woman: it was Sue Townsend's Diary of Adrian Mole, which I already have, as it's a classic. It was written decades ago. The other books were by Roald Dahl and three current books by Rob Brydon, Lee Evans and J P Davidson. Evans's book is blah. Dahl is a matter of taste - savage, cruelly funny and vivid. I have to admit, I do not respect men who write much-loved children's books but are shit, useless, absent fathers themselves. Brydon's book is gentle, witty, thoughtful and well-written although how much can you do with a person to whom not much has happened?
Davidson's book, Planet Word, accompanies the TV series of the same name, which was presented by Stephen Fry, who wrote the foreword for the book. Planet Word is highly readable, thorough, wideranging, entertaining and impressively complex. In a punchy yet never dumbed-down fashion it covers everything from the origins of language to sign language, dialect development, 'dead' and resurrected languages, swearing and slang, innuendo and euphemism, codes, translation, alphabets, printing, dictionaries, the use of language in advertising and propaganda and much more.
It almost completely ignores women. The final part, The Power and the Glory, has chapters specifically referencing Homer, James Joyce, Hollywood screenwriter William Goldman, Yeats, Shakespeare and Bob Dylan and no women. The vast, near-total, more-than-97% majority of the several hundreds of experts, academics, researchers, quoters, endorsers, literary names, interviewees, case studies, editors, critics, writers or anything-at-all mentioned on every page of the book, which I have read in full, for free and on my own time, are white men.
On Planet Word, women barely exist. Davidson's bibliography at the back of the book covers works of poetry, fiction, social science, anthropology, reportage, literary criticism and cultural commentary and spans many decades. It names 63 male authors and only 7 women, of whom 2 have co-authored books with men. 2 of the books are sole authored by women and one is co-written by 2 women. The last is a collection edited by Nancy Mitford. Of the 63 men recommended in the bibliography, the overwhelming majority of whom are sole authors, several (David Crystal, Henry Hitchins, Stephen Pinker and Christopher Ricks) have had at least 3 separate titles mentioned. It is made insultingly clear just which inhabitants of Planet Word are considered worth reading in any genre or field, from any time, with any approach or structure or voice, and which are not.
As ever, bias is made absolutely obvious by people's behaviour, with comical transparency. What's so funny - as if I weren't already laughing so merrily that I can barely type - is what Davidson's acknowledgements reveal about the way male power is supported by countless highly competent, intelligent and efficient women and how it is then used, taken and passed on by the man to help... other men. Virtually all the behind the scenes work is done by women. The editors of the book at Penguin are both women - Laura Herring and Louise Moore. The production team for the TV series are all women - Annie Macnee, Lucy Wallace, Lucy Tate and Clare Bennett - while the sound and editing are all men (nice traditional divisions). The "back-up" team at the production company are all women - Gina Carter, Zoe Rocha, Emily Martin. The BBC series was commissioned by a woman and a man - Mark Bell and Janice Hadlow.
But, when it comes to the people who are bigged up in lavish terms as on-screen experts, analysts and endorsers, rather than sheer labour, Davidson gives a list of 4 men and just 2 women. "In particular I would like to thank," he continues, then mentions four more men, all writers and commentators, one of whom is the literary editor I mentioned in this column, who turned down a (future prize-winning) novel with the words, "Oh, don't you know I never read women's fiction?"
This is the kind of utterly naturalised, casual, automatic and endemic bullshit that women writers, academics, editors, experts, artists, politicians, producers, directors, medics, journalists, lawyers, scientists, thinkers, activists, students and speakers encounter all day, every day. Meanwhile, dozens of women work diligently behind the scenes, using all their energy and expertise to ensure that a woman-ignoring, woman-exploiting man is a success, in an area of cultural life where (as any publishing person knows) women make up the great majority of readers and literary festival attendees. I do not use up my time helping to sell copies of books that feature 63 men and 7 women writers in their bibliographies, when we all know that (again) the vast and overwhelmingly major majority of purchasers, readers, writers, promoters, agents, editors, PRs, executives and production managers of books are women. For a book about words and language, and in a field where, again-yet-again, the overwhelming majority of language and English teachers, literature academics, literature students, creative writing students, library workers and translators are women, Planet Word delivers us a good hard slap in the face, just so we know who's boss.
Penguin, I have faithfully done my duty. I studied your books, including those by authors who've made it totally obvious that they will not be reading anything at all by any woman (or inviting her to speak on a major TV series) on any topic or genre or category, from any decade, although they will happily use up women's labour to help their own careers and then promote other men. I have now put all the books in my recycling bin and they have been taken away to be made into deluxe Charmin for women to wipe their bottoms on, in the spare moments between doing the lion's share of all domestic labour + childcare + exploited full-time work outside the house, just under the glass ceiling + trying to fight seemingly intractable cultural contempt in which their achievements, words, thoughts and ideas are ignored as if we do not exist as intellectuals, only as workhorses.
I am grateful for one thing, however. The manworshipping package contained a list of fresh, original and exciting new releases for Spring 2012, many of which caught my eye and which I am delighted to preview here. The overwhelming majority of the books on Penguin's list are by women. They are all extremely strong titles in their categories or genres. The list makes it clear that Penguin is obviously a supporter of women's talents, a sharp observer of readers' interests and a champion of smart, exciting books by new and established voices. So, what happened? I do not consider it any kind of New Year's gift to be given the opportunity to worship men who seem unaware that women exist as anything other than plentiful, useable (and usually overworked and underpaid) labour, diligent workers to be thanked briefly in the acknowledgements after 300+ pages, multiple Notes and a full Bibliography from which they have been rigorously, near-totally excluded.
Here are some great-sounding Penguin titles for Spring 2012:
The Pleasures of Men by Kate Williams. A darkly thrilling trawl through murky Victorian London as a young woman becomes obsessed by a notorious serial killer, The Man of Crows. Out now. A link to my Guardian article on this is here.
The Woman Who Went To Bed For A Year by Sue Townsend. Townsend brings her classic blend of social satire, sharp observation and broad comedy to the story of a woman who decides to ditch the Fantasy Dream Wife And Mommy identity, tell society to go stuff itself and retire to bed, leaving her ungrateful brats and husband to Deal With It. I cannot wait to read this. It's out on 1st March.
The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty. Looks like a slick and fast jaunt through 1920s Broadway as New York's lights beguile two women who dive into its roaring 20s flappery delights. I love this kind of aspirational, glam, brittle-edged story. Out 26th April.
The biggest 'event' on the list will be Saved by Cake by Marian Keyes, an enormously popular author of genius (and former Orange Prize judge, yo!) whose books have been unjustly belittled as 'mere' 'chick-lit' but who is screamingly funny and has the gift of tackling any topic from alcoholism to domestic abuse in a way that is utterly natural, realistic and often heartbreaking. There is nothing lightweight about this author, she is prolific, fearless, intelligent, frank and enormously gifted. So it has been a real blow to fans to learn of her struggle with depression ...a struggle which she's won, with typical wit, through the Zen of Baking. Keyes starts out as a total kitchen novice who bakes a cake for a friend and realises that her spirits are rising along with her sponges. This book describes how she kneaded, beat, whisked, rolled and cooked her depression away. I even love the cover, a pastel and turquoise spoof of the Dream Mommy Domestic Goddess manuals which seem to be all the retrosexist rage these days. The book's out on 26th February.
There is now a very brief Mumsnet thread on this, in which one comment really stood out:
Bidisha's post ... highlights that the majority of the behind-the-scenes people who make things happen in the book/meedja/culture world are women... but the people in the spotlight are still mostly men.
My first job was at a company which, like Penguin, was owned by Pearson. We were all invited to the Pearson AGM and I vividly remember sitting in the hall amidst fellow employees who were probably 80% female. On stage was a woman - our ceo, Marjorie Scardino - surrounded by several middle-aged men in grey suits. The disparity between the gender balance of the employees and the gender balance of the top management struck me very forcibly...

I fear there has been some innocent miscommunication on behalf of Master Weaver – Xerx'ses. Below is the excerpt from the missive of his second monthly report where he was merely voicing thoughts he couldn't prove one way or the other.
Now as you can see he never asked his "Second" to look into anything regarding the Mistress Internalist. He absolutely did share his thoughts about a perplexing situation. He is interested if finding out about Lictalon the Great's life as the former Ruler of Hades. He hopes it will give us some kind of edge when we go to face Modeus. I can assure you he has taken your warning about pursuing the topic to heart and has dropped anything regarding the third head of the Tri-Arcanum. Again, may I offer my thanks in your discretion and handling of the matter to one new in their office. It makes me proud to be a member of your branch of the guild, Master Wesvon.
Sent to Master Wesvon upon the morning of the 16th of Corg and a back up with the Pontiff as well.
Keeping Wesvon on our side of things is pretty important, because even just his indifference could hurt us.
This is an awesome explanation and clarification.
I am so happy the picture worked out since it was done in ink styles for #Inktober which is a Artist holiday / thing now. Thank you for clearing up anything with Wesvon.
Fingers crossed that Wesvon doesn't get bent out of shape at the implication that Indaris read and decoded the letter which was sent to Xerx'ses.
Indifference aside, if the world is in chaos things could be difficult for the Tri-Acanum…unless he likes his chaos hot & in your face.
I doubt he'll be upset given how many parties he hosts. He'll likely think Xerx'ses just shared the note with another member of the Guild.
I agree that the picture is one of the best!


When a helicopter crash kills his parents, young Tarzan is lost in the remote African jungle. He is rescued by Kala, a gentle ape and for the next fourteen years he lives as a mountain gorilla. When he encounters pretty teenager, Jane Porter, he must come to terms with the emotion of his first human encounter. Together with Jane Tarzan must also battle a new tribe leader and the threat of an ecological disaster when a mercenary army is dispatched by the evil CEO of Greystoke Energies, a man who took over the company from Tarzan's parents.


Medical errors are not infrequent, in fact, a report published by the Institute of Medicine estimated medical negligence-caused deaths are as high as 98,000 per year, twice the number of people who die in car accidents.
It may be safe to assume that people who have been injured or have loved ones who have died, due to medical malpractice or negligence, may not know how to bring a medical malpractice suit or even whom to sue.
Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider (or a hospital) does something that is not in good practice, or fails to do something necessary for the patient's care.
In Florida, the lawsuit must be filed within two years from the time the patient knew, or should have known, that the injury occurred and there was a reasonable possibility that medical malpractice caused it.
Unless there is fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment, one can never sue a health care provider more than four years after the actual malpractice incident.
One significant exception in Florida is "Tony's Law" which was enacted in 1996. If a malpractice incident occurred after July 1, 1996, the four-year statute of repose cannot cut off a child's malpractice claim before the child's eighth birthday unless the parents or guardians knew, or should have known, about the injury and the reasonable possibility that medical malpractice caused it.
The timeframe of a medical malpractice case varies from case to case but normally it will take one to three years to bring to conclusion. About 80% of our medical malpractice cases usually end in a settlement.
Every medical malpractice case has unique circumstances – no matter how similar they appear – so any settlement that we have obtained in the past shouldn't imply that you will get the same result. View some of our most noteworthy medical malpractice settlements.
A medical malpractice case involves many costs including experts, courtroom exhibits, and technology to demonstrate how devastating the injury is. Our typical malpractice case will run between $50,000 to $200,000. Therefore, we hand-select the cases that we feel confident are winning cases.
Just like with all of our personal injury cases, we handle medical malpractice cases on a contingency basis which means that you won't be charged any attorney fees unless we win.
If you have a medical malpractice or hospital negligence case that you would like to discuss with us, contact our West Palm Beach personal injury law firm toll-free at 1-888-666-0523 or (561) 684-2500.

How do you feel about having an employment position which brings you a nice amount of $50,000 in a year? Sounds attractive, does not it? And, probably, you would not believe a person who claims that it is quite possible for you to make at last as much as $50,000 after successful graduation from an online associate degree program. Additionally it should be mentioned that $50,000 a year is not the limit. Another point to remember is that information technologies are demonstrating fastest rates of growing and are forecasted to increase growth rates in near future. Notwithstanding the current recession the area of information technologies still shows increase of salaries for associate degree entry-level jobs!
The above-described possibilities may seem unbelievable to you, but we can guarantee that they are absolutely viable options for students with computer associate degree who are determined to seek careers in the information technologies field. Apply for an associate degree in computer science, computer programming, or computer engineering at one of reputed accredited online programs and the road to attractive and exciting careers in IT area will open before you.
In order to prove that the statements you have read above are not just hollow words get familiar with three employment options you will be entitled to upon successful graduation with an associate degree in any field of applied science which is related to computers, software and information technologies.
Probably, not many people are aware of the fact that the demand for software developers is experiencing an unequalled growth of demand and because of that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has made this professional specialization No. 14 on their list of the 30 fastest-growing professions all over the nation. The reason for that is easy to explain: more and more people are using personal computers and computer-based gadgets, such as smartphones and PDAs and they are all interested in getting more and more applications for their devices, to make them run faster, to be more powerful, reliable, functional and convenient to use. It is no wonder that some software developers of iPhone applications were able to become millionaires overnight, because they were exactly those professionals who invent and develop software application that people need more and more.
In our everyday life individual people and corporations make more and more use of computer networks and Internet. Today's life and business activities are difficult to imagine without round-o'clock access to the World Wide Web or your local network. The personal and professional information is now available online and its privacy and security are threatened by hacking attempts. As a network security specialist you will be always in great demand, since your professional skills allow implementation of security measures to protect your company's network from illegal attempts of computer criminals to crack into classified information and inflict damage to the business.
A webmaster is an important person in the Internet related community. The primary responsibility of a webmaster is to take care of the integrity of Web-site computer code and flawless performance of the site database, so such a professional is highly sought by businesses, firms and organizations which depend on their Internet sites and their excellent performance. Additionally, a webmaster often also plays a considerable role in designing a site's look, feel, and navigation. It might be a rewarding and exciting career for a computer specialist with affection and talent for working with graphics, design, and layout.

Q: Complex Multiplication and algebraic integers Let $q=e^{2\pi i\tau}$ and
$$E_2(\tau) = 1 - 24 \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{nq^n}{1-q^n}$$ be the Eisenstein Series of weight $2$
and let $E_2^*(\tau) = E_2(\tau) - \frac{3}{\pi\cdot Im(\tau)}$ be the corresponding almost holomorphic modular form. Then let
$$\eta(\tau)=e^{\pi i\tau /12}\cdot\prod_{n=1}^\infty(1-q^n)$$
be the Dedekind $\eta$-Function.
Question: How can I prove the following statement from here:

Let $\tau$ be any Complex Multiplication point. By basic theorems of complex multiplication, if you choose a suitable period
  $\omega(\tau)$, $E_4(\tau)/\omega(\tau)^4$, $E_6(\tau)/\omega(\tau)^6$,
  and $\sqrt{D}E_2^*(\tau)/\omega(\tau)^2$ (with $E_2^*(\tau)=E_2(\tau)-3/(\pi \cdot Im(\tau))$ and $D$ the discriminant of $\tau$) will be algebraic numbers of known degree, and if you choose
  $\omega(\tau)=\eta(\tau)^2$, they will even be algebraic integers.

Partial Solution for $E_2^*$:
Francois Brunault pointed out that this statement can be found in Prop. 5.10.6 on p. 202 of Cohen/Strömberg's book Modular Forms: A Classical Approach.
Unfortunately, the proof of this proposition starts with "we only prove algebraicity, not the integrality". Who can help with proving the integrality? Since I am no expert in complex multiplication, I am looking for a rather detailed answer, or for a reference.
Complete Solution for $E_4$ and $E_6$:
The statement that $\frac{E_4}{\eta^8}$ is an algebraic integer follows from
$$\left(\frac{E_4}{\eta^8}\right)^3 = j(\tau)$$
and the statement that $\frac{E_6}{\eta^{12}}$ is an algebraic integer follows from
$$\left(\frac{E_6}{\eta^{12}}\right)^2 = j(\tau)-1728$$
with the absolute invariant $j(\tau)=\frac{1728E_4^3}{E_4^3-E_6^2}=\frac{E_4^3}{\eta^{24}}$ which is an algebraic integer (see Silverman, Advanced Topics in the Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves, Theorem 6.1, p. 140).
EDIT: Complete Solution for $E_2^*$:
The answer of Michael Griffin (see below) can now be found in more details in the appendix of this arXiv-preprint.

A: I have seen this statement about $E_2^*$ tossed around off-handedly by experts a number of times, but never seen a complete proof referenced.
The tools to prove it are (mostly) in Masser's "Elliptic functions and transcendence", Appendix 1. There, Masser gives a formula for certain non-holomorphic modular functions. One of these fomrulas (Lemma A3) can be re-written as
$$E_2^*(\tau)\left(\frac{\pi}{\omega_1}\right)^2=-\frac{3S}{\sqrt{D} ~\tau},$$ where $(\omega_1,\omega_2)$ are choices of periods of a CM elliptic curve with rational equation, $D$ is the discriminant of the CM point $\tau=\frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2}$, and $S$ is a sum of division points on the curve. If $\tau$ satisfies the reduced, integral quadratic, $C\tau^2+B\tau+A$, then Masser points out that by a theorem of Baker, $(AC)^2\wp$ is an algebraic integer. Moreover, the norm of $\tau$ is $A/C$, and so it's clear the only additional primes that could divide the denominator are divisors of $AC$.
On page 118 of Masser, he offers formulas for the function
$$\gamma(\tau)=\frac{E_2^*(\tau)E_4(\tau)}{6E_6(\tau) j(\tau)}-\frac{7j(\tau)-6912}{6j(\tau)(j(\tau)-1728)}$$
at CM points, in terms of singular moduli of $j(\tau)$. The Gross-Zagier formula (which gives a factorization for the norm of differences of singular moduli) can then be used to show that no primes that split in the CM field can divide the denominator. Any prime dividing $A$ or $C$ is either split or ramified in the CM field. None of the split primes can divide the denominators. A more careful use of the Gross-Zagier formula shows that the ramified primes appear no more than expected, and so $\sqrt{D}E_2^*(\tau)\left(\frac{\pi}{\omega_1}\right)^2$ must be an algebraic integer.

A: The statement about $E_2^*(\tau)$ is Proposition 5.10.6 in Cohen-Strömberg, Modular forms: a classical approach.

"With the DIA smearing one of the whistleblowers and the Pentagon blocking Congressional investigations, it certainly appears that Weldon is right about the cover-up. If Able Danger was "simply irrelevant", we would have had a hearing in no time on it and allowed it to pass discredited into history. Instead, both the Pentagon and the Congress appear scared to death of Able Danger. Why?"

I used Antique Glimmers to create the background for this stamp. Then I used Memento Black ink to stamp the Key Script background stamp over all. http://techniquejunkies.com/key-script/ I swiped my anti-static sack over the vellum so I wouldn't get stray dots. Then I stamped the Bold Eiffel stamp http://techniquejunkies.com/bold-eiffel/ and the word Paris http://techniquejunkies.com/fancy-paris/ near each other on a piece of vellum. I used Versafine Black ink and used a glittery black embossing powder over all and heat set it. After it had cooled a bit I tore the vellum b fore I mounted it. I ran the vellum through my Xyron machine to apply adhesive. To get the ribbon, I used seam binding which I had purchased on a large spool of white seam binding -- such a huge saving! I used 2 markers (red and yellow) and only let the marker sit on an edge, pulling the seam binding under the marker's brush tip. I did that on each side and the marker ink was NOT evenly distributed on the edge. Some places were darker than others. Then I spritzed the seam binding with just enough water to make the ink run on the seam binding. Then I took it over to my "non-stick" round cake pan (which I bought at a flea market for a quarter) and laid it inside. I dried it with heat gun and tied it around the card. Then I adhered the vellum over top.
As you can guess, by the time I finished this card my fingers were very inky! Will you get your fingers inky today?
Watercolor New York - Awesome Stamp!
One of the things I love about Technique Junkie Stamps is that Pat Huntoon keeps updating the stamp line with new stamps every month! That is so fun! This is a stamp that was added to the line a few months ago, but I only recently got this stamp. And since I really enjoy watercoloring, it was a perfect stamp for me! So I have three cards made to showcase this stamp for you today. I hope after you see the stamp made into these three cards, you will say I love this stamp and I must have it --- NOW!!
For this card I used the Antique Glimmers technique trying to keep most of the gray area at the bottom of the card stock. I used Shimmery White card stock from Stampin' Up. It is a beautiful card stock. It takes watercoloring very well. I inked the image with Stazon black ink so the amount of water I used would not cause the image to distort and blur. After I stamped the image on the card stock with the Antique Glimmers applied, then I used Peerless Watercolor paints http://techniquejunkies.com/peerless-watercolors/ which Pat sells on the Technique Junkie website. These colors are very intense and of so very portable! I used these paints to deepen the colors and to add additional texture to the image. The word stamp is called Good Friend -- http://techniquejunkies.com/a-good-friend/ -- and I think this saying is so very true. We have friends from many years ago and they are truly a treasure for us! I stamped it on vellum with a hint of mauve and adhered with adhesive from my Xyron machine.
This is the second card I created with this stamp.
I stamped this image with Stazon ink on watercolor paper. Then I spritzed a fine mist of water all over the card stock and I applied just dabs of the intense color from the Peerless watercolor palette. I spread the colors on the area where I wished it to be. Then I quickly grabbed my heat gun and dried the card stock to stop the blurring. Then I squeezed a small amount of water from my water brush onto the next areas I wanted to add color and spread it around. Then I added a few dabs of that intense color on the wet area until I got the look I was looking for. I grabbed the heat gun again and dried the card stock. Then I repeated this process until I was finished with painting. Then while the sky was still damp I sprinkled tiny bits of Perfect Peals to sort of imitate rain. The stamp for the verse is called Dance in the Rain - http://techniquejunkies.com/dance-in-the-rain/. I thought it was perfect for the gray, rainy NYC skyline. I stamped it with Stazon black right on the sky.
Have you ever seen or used the Peerless watercolors? They are just wonderful to use with a water brush where you put water in the barrel of the brush. Makes them easy to use, and very portable.
My last card for you today still uses this same Watercolor NY stamp but I have applied a different technique. I truly wish you could see this card -- the scan doesn't do it justice. I used a technique from the December 2010 Technique Junkie newsletter called Deconstructed Collage. The base layer of the card is stamped with black Stazon on Stampin' Up's Shimmery White card stock on three pieces of card stock. Then I painted Twinkling H2Os all of this layer. The same colors were used to paint the other two sheets of card stock. Then I cut out sections and built up the layers.
I used a yellow marker to color areas for windows. I used a Star Dust glitter gel pen to add highlights here and there. There are a total of three layers. Can you see the layers? The sentiment is from the stamp set called Mae West Sentiments - http://techniquejunkies.com/mae-west-sentiments/. I only used a small section from the stamps. It is stamped with just a black marker on vellum and quickly covered with black embossing powder, and finally heat set. Because all ink dries so slowly in vellum, it is easy to heat emboss. I used one of my Zyron machines to apply adhesive and adhere to the skyline.
I hope you have a look around the Technique Junkie website. There is so much yummy stamping goodness to discover. There are not just stamps but lots of other things.
And if you see a stamp that interests you and to see cards made with that stamp, hover over the stamp image with your mouse. You should see the words "Quick View." Click on that and a larger image of the stamp will show up. Now you should see the words "View Details" on the right. Please click on that and you will see cards or projects some of the Design Team members (or Pat herself!) have created with that stamp. I will say that not every stamp has samples in a gallery because this is a relatively new feature for the TJ website. The Design Team does not own every stamp that Pat produces. Oh, we wish we could but money is a limitation for everyone! Go look and see what you can find!
Today I want to show you two cards using the same stamp.
This stamp is called The Best Gift - http://techniquejunkies.com/the-best-gift/.
I used the Antique Glimmers technique in different ways on these two cards. For the burgundy card, this technique is on the panel where the birds are stamps. Then that is layered on three pieces of card stock to get the look I wanted. That was then layered on the burgundy background card stock.
For the green card, I used a piece of background paper that had a lot of open areas and was light in color. Then I used that piece and applied the Antique Glimmers technique to it. The back panel also has similar colors for the Antique Glimmers technique.
Both cards have different embellishments and you see I have two different looks for these cards.
Have a lovely inky day!
One of my doctors is adopting two little blonde girls who are sisters. My doctor won't show me a picture until it is finalized so I really have no idea what they look like except she told me they are blonde. I know the girls are sisters an the adoption will be finalized sometime in May -- now! So I made her a card to celebrate. I already sent the two girls a small gift to have on the plane. It wasn't much - just a doll, a note pad, and a small tote bag for each girl. Each gift was small - and not heavy because I well know the weight restrictions for luggage. This was so that the girls will have something to play with on the plane ride to their new home.
The stamps for the little girls having tea is from Lily of the Valley - an English company with FREE shipping for stamps. The verse is from Sweet and Sassy Stamps. It is in a Adoption word set on her web site.
I used both water coloring and Copic markers to color these two sweet girls.
I will be praying for my doctor and for the children. The children are not from this country, and my doctor doesn't speak their language. Both are going to have "culture shock." I cannot imagine doing this.
Have an inky day today!
I have a friend who is going through a difficult time right now. I think it is good to send encouraging thoughts, prayers, and cards during such times. She said to me on Saturday, that even though she was upset, she pulled herself up, put on her Big Girl pants and did what she had to do. So I created this card just for her. I think she will laugh when she gets it in the mail.
The girl stamp is from Stamping Bella. The inside stamp --also from Stamping Bella - says "You can handle it, you've got your Big Girl pants on." The verse on the front is from an unknown vendor -- from before I needed to keep track of the correct vendor for each stamp. I used Copics to color the image.
Send an encouraging note to someone soon.
This is a Mother's Day card I created for one of my daughters. It uses Heart of the Home stamp http://techniquejunkies.com/heart-of-the-home/ and Whimsical Garden http://techniquejunkies.com/whimsical-garden/.
I used Antique Glimmers technique (see - I said it was a favorite technique!) to create the background paper for the stamp. Have you tried the Antique Glimmers technique? Then I layered it on some black card stock and then some designer paper from Lily of the Valley.
Add some ribbon and some bling - and it is done.
I hope you get inky and do some stamping today.
This blog post demonstrates how two different stamps were used for the same technique, but the embellishments, layout, and greeting stamps are different. The technique is called Slide Show and is from the April 2014 Technique Junkie newsletter. Both cards were colored with my Copic markers.
This flower stamp is called Dogwood Blossom - http://techniquejunkies.com/dogwood-blossom/, and the words are Be, Believe, Become - http://techniquejunkies.com/be-believe-become/.
My next card uses this Pansy stamp - http://techniquejunkies.com/pansy/.
The greeting is One Must Live - http://techniquejunkies.com/one-must-live/.
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day with your families.
Any one who has followed me on the Technique Junkie Design Team blog posts has surely noticed how I love using the Antique Glimmers technique on cards. What do I love about it? It is easy. It is fun. It is "messy." It is different every time I use it. It creates beautiful backgrounds. You can easily stamp on it. So today I have three different cards to share with you that I used this technique somewhere on the card. I created these cards some time ago.
Have a wonderful Saturday! Get inky!
More May Releases - What Fun!
Wasn't the Blog Hop for the May Release of the Technique Junkie Stamps just awesome? How fun to see the new stamps and to see how the different members of the Design Team used the new stamps! I have two new cards for you this morning from the May Release. I used both of these same stamps in my blog post on Friday. I hope you enjoy them.
Mt first card today is Free My Soul - http://techniquejunkies.com/free-my-soul/.
The background is an embossing folder which I have sponged over ink to bring out the highlights of the embossing. My stamped image was stamped on card stock that I used the Antique Glimmers technique. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used a white gel pen to bring the words. I then used a Stardust Glitter over the white gel pen.
I love the Star Fish Background stamp - http://techniquejunkies.com/starfish/ .
I stamped the image on a sheet of Cougar White card stock which I used the Antique Glimmers technique. I then used sponge daubers with a variety of dye based inks to highlight the starfish and different shells. Then I used these two die cuts from chip board that I cut out. I used a technique from Powder Keg to emboss these two die cuts. I first pressed the shapes onto my Versamark ink pad and covered them with a base color that is now not very visible. Then using the only the flowers in the Whimsical Garden stamp - http://techniquejunkies.com/whimsical-garden/ - I inked the flowers with Versamark and stamped over the heat embossed die cuts over and over layering the colors. The inked image on the die cuts was from different areas of the Starfish stamp itself. Then I used black embossing powder. I used the little dotted sections for that. I still thought the die cuts needed a little more color so after heating the embossing powder, I just sprinkled a tiny bits of a few other colors. I will never be able to duplicate exactly what I did! And that is just fine.
Now I want to remind you of the sale on the May Release Stamps -- You do not want to forget that!
And the sale is only on until Friday. So don't delay in choosing what you want. All of the stamps come with cling foam and are ready to stamp!
I hope you have a wonderfully INKY day!
Welcome to this stop on the Technique Junkie Stamps Blog Hop featuring the May Release of new Technique Junkie stamps!. New stamps are being released today for Technique Junkie stamps. I love the many varieties of Technique Junkie stamps. There are so many varieties -- please go to the new website and poke around! http://techniquejunkies.com/ . And to celebrate the new May stamp releases, Pat is very generously offering a 15% discount for one week on all of the May stamp releases! Go here to see them all: http://techniquejunkies.com/may-2015-release/.
Pat Huntoon has worked hard for months merging the two websites. I know that was shared with the April Release blog hop but it is worth saying again because she keeps improving the new web site.
If you are starting here please go back and begin the hop here: http://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com/. I am the second blog in the hop.
I was quite sad at the time of the April TJ Release blog hop because I was too ill to participate but I am almost at "full speed ahead" mode now. I created a lot of backgrounds today and stamped a lot of new stamps today as well. Now I will work on actually making those items into cards and projects.
I have four cards for you today. Some of these cards use a previously released stamp --but every card features a "newly released" stamp.
My first card uses the stamp "Free My Soul" SD600 - http://techniquejunkies.com/free-my-soul/. When my husband saw this card, he said, "I love that song!"
I used background paper with musical notes. Then I used a tag and cut it out with a die. I used the Antique Glimmers to create the background and out of the scrap from the tag I cut out three birds. I colored them with Distress Stains using a black marker to add details. The stamp was inked and stamped with dark brown ink. I used a clear glitter pen to add highlights to the words. Various ribbons were added to the top and stapled down.
My next card features the "Kitty Profile" S625 stamp http://techniquejunkies.com/kitty-profile/ which I have used before. The NEW stamp is "You Make Me Proud" SD612 http://techniquejunkies.com/you-make-me-proud/. What a wonderful stamp for a congratulatory card! How terrific for any person to hear that they make someone proud!
I applied Distress Stains to a manila tag. Then I inked up the Kitty Profile stamp with black Stazon and stamped it at an angle on the tag. I mixed brown and gold Smooch Paints to color the eyes and used a white gel pen to add a highlight to the eyes. I also used the white gel pen to highlight the whiskers, and a clear glitter pen to add additional highlights. The leopard print background paper needed to be toned down a bit so I covered the paper with white Distress Stains. I heat dried it right away sol it would have a transparent feel. Threading some ribbons and tying them off with gold cording to finish the cat. The saying was stamped with black Versafine black and heat embossed with black detail powder. After I cut around the words, I layered it on black card stock, and cut around it again. The tag was also layered on black card stock.
My next card features the lovely background stamp full of starfish - "Star Fish" S629 http://techniquejunkies.com/starfish/, and the verse "Needed To Be" on this web page - http://techniquejunkies.com/needed-to-be/ .
I stamped two sets of images, and colored both sets with my Copic markers. Then I selected two starfish to cut out and pop up with pop dots. I used Glimmer Spray to add interest to the focal points. I stamped the verse on Vellum with Versafine black ink and heat embossed detail black embossing powder. I cut the verse in half, and tore the edges around the other three sides of the verse. I ran the verse through my Xyron machine to add adhesive to the back of each section. The black pearls were added as a final embellishment.
My last card features two ladies I love! I have used them on many cards before - "Hat Ladies" - http://techniquejunkies.com/hat-ladies/. There is a different verse on the stamp, and I was very careful to not ink up the verse. I wanted to use the new May Release stamp "Good or Evil" SD602 http://techniquejunkies.com/good-or-evil/.
I used a center stair step die to create this card. I used Copic markers to color these adorable hat ladies. I used a flower stencil with Distress Inks to create the side panels. The verse "Good or Evil" SD602 as soon as I read it I thought of these two ladies.
And in case you haven't seen the new Technique Junkie website -- Pat has new art products on the website. Pat Huntoon is ALWAYS looking for and finding new toys for stampers to use. The new things include stencils, art anthology colorations and art anthology dimensional mediums. I will tell you -- they are on my Wish List!
This is the entire blog line-up. Make sure you visit them all - you will be glad you did!
And lastly, I have one double of a new TJ stamp. It will be a surprise to one lucky winner. How can you become the winner of this stamp -- which will be a surprise! When there are a minimum of ten comments on THIS Blog Hop blog post, I will draw the name of one of the commenters. However, to claim your prize you must put your email address in your comment. Please for your internet safety, type your email address in this format: friendly stamper at email provider dot com. When you write it this way scammers will not easily seize it.
Have a wonderful day! I hope you visit every blog in the above list! I am sure they will all be terrific -- as they sure were on April 1! Now hop along to Pam DeChellis's blog -- http://journeyawakensthesoul.blogspot.com. It will be wonderful!

College football College sports Football Sports General news
Division I FBS Ind Liberty Sun Belt Coastal Carolina SEC Georgia Big 12 TCU Oregon Pac-12 UCLA
AP Top 25: No. 1 UGA leads unchanged top 5; Ducks, UCLA slip
By RALPH D. RUSSO - Nov. 13, 2022 01:47 PM EST
Oregon wide receiver Kris Hutson (1) kneels in the end zone after the final play fell short against Washington during the second half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 12, 2022, in Eugene, Ore. (AP Photo/Andy Nelson)
No. 1 Georgia led an unchanged top five in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday, while the rest of the Top 25 was shuffled after eight ranked teams lost — including two big upsets in the Pac-12.
For the second straight week, the Bulldogs received all but one of the 63 first-place votes in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank. No. 2 Ohio State received the other first-place vote.
No. 3 Michigan, No. 4 TCU and No. 5 Tennessee held their spots after victories Saturday, with only the Horned Frogs facing a real challenge.
Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and Tennessee won by a combined 203-60 against conference opponents.
Home losses by Oregon (to Washington) and UCLA (to Arizona) shook up the rest of the top 10. No. 6 LSU and No. 7 Southern California each moved up a spot.
The last time two top-10 Pac-12 teams lost at home during the same weekend was Oct. 2-4, 2014, when No. 2 Oregon fell 31-24 to Arizona 31-24 and No. 8 UCLA was defeated 30-28 by Utah.
Alabama jumped two spots to No. 8 after it fell to a season-low No. 10 last week. Clemson moved up four spots to re-enter the top- 0 at No. 8 and Utah climbed to No .10.
POLL POINTS
Georgia is closing in on a school record.
The Bulldogs are No. 1 for the ninth time this season, matching the total from last season, when they won the national title for the first time in 41 years.
Georgia has been at No. 1 a total of 33 times in school history, one behind Michigan for 12th most in the history of the AP poll.
The Bulldogs are at Kentucky next week and close the season against Georgia Tech. Barring a major upset, they'll go into the Southeastern Conference championship against LSU with 11 weeks as the country's top-ranked team.
Of the four teams that moved into the rankings this week, Coastal Carolina is the only one making its season debut. The 23rd-ranked Chanticleers have now reached the Top 25 in each of the last three seasons.
— No. 22 Cincinnati is back in. The Bearcats give the American Athletic Conference a season-high three ranked teams along with No. 17 Central Florida and No. 21 Tulane.
— No. 24 Oklahoma State returned after snapping a two-game losing streak by beating Iowa State.
— No. 25 Oregon State is also back. The Beavers broke a nine-year poll drought two weeks ago, immediately lost a close game at Washington and dropped out, and then moved back in Sunday after beating California.
Texas' season in the rankings: Unranked for the first two polls, moved in for two weeks in September, out for two weeks, in for two weeks, back for a week and now gone again.
— Illinois tumbled out after a second straight home loss.
— North Carolina State is unranked for the first time this season after the Wolfpack was upset at home by Boston College.
— Liberty's time in the Top 25 lasted a mere week. The Flames followed up a victory at Arkansas to move into the rankings by losing at UConn to fall out.
The Ducks and Bruins getting toppled crushed the Pac-12's hopes of putting a team in the College Football Playoff. One consolation prize: The conference now has more ranked teams than it has since Sept. 15, 2019.
Pac-12 — 6 (Nos. 7, 10, 12, 15, 16, 25).
SEC — 5 (Nos. 1, 5, 6, 8, 14).
ACC — 3 (Nos. 9, 13, 20).
American — 3 (Nos. 17, 21, 22).
Big Ten — 3 (Nos. 2, 3, 11).
Big 12 — 3 (Nos. 4, 19, 24).
Sun Belt — 1 (No. 23).
Independent — 1 (No. 18).
RANKED vs. RANKED
The Pac-12's big games lost some luster, but they're still at the top of the marquee.
No. 7 USC at No. 16 UCLA.
No. 10 Utah at No. 12 Oregon.

Scariest Asylum Practices
My oldest sister was a runaway as a teen and my parents caught her smoking pot. They didn't know what to do with her and in 1970, the option for them was to put her away in a mental hospital where the people working there assured them that she needed to remain. Over the years there, my sister received so much electroshock therapy that she lost all memory of her childhood or any experiences she ever had with us. She was a shell of the person I knew when she came out and it took us decades to rediscover each other and forge a new relationship. It was archaic to say the least, and that was in 1970!
Imagine the way mental patients were treated in the past. There was a great deal of shame in having a mentally ill person in a family. They were often carted off to places that then treated them as spiritually deficient and sometimes even evilly possessed beings. Understaffed, not monitored, and run by greedy people, they were often starved, frozen, tied down, locked in cages, and treated by barbaric means. Imagine being in your most fragile emotional and mental state and also being physically harmed!
Around the mid-1700s, Dr. Boerhaave invented the "gyrating chair." This became a popular tool in Europe and the US. This instrument was intended to shake up the blood and tissues of the body to restore equilibrium, but instead resulted in rendering the patient unconscious without any recorded successes.
Walter Freeman, an American physician, with his colleague James Watts, performed his first lobotomy operation (cutting connects to the prefrontal cortex of the brain) in 1936. With good results at calming patients, he went on to perform thousands more. He is also famous for inventing what is called ice pick lobotomy. Impatient with the difficult surgical methods pioneered by Moniz, he found he could insert an ice pick above each eye of a patient with only local anesthetic, drive it through the thin bone with a light tap of a mallet, swish the pick back and forth like a windshield wiper and -- voilà -- a formerly difficult patient is now passive.
Freeman recommended the procedure for everything from psychosis to depression to neurosis to criminality. He developed what others called assembly line lobotomies, going from one patient to the next with his gold-plated ice pick, even having his assistants time him to see if he could break lobotomy speed records. It is said that even some seasoned surgeons fainted at the site. Even Watts thought he had gone too far.
Between 1939 and 1951, over 18,000 lobotomies were performed in the US, and many more in other countries. It was often used on convicts, and in Japan it was recommended for use on "difficult" children. There are still western countries that permit the use of the lobotomy, although its use has decreased dramatically worldwide. Curiously, the old USSR banned it back in 1950 on moral grounds!
In the 1950s, people began getting upset about the prevalence of lobotomies. Protests began, and serious research supported the protesters. The general statistics showed roughly a third of lobotomy patients improved, a third stayed the same, and the last third actually got worse!
Times have certainly changed in helping those suffering mental challenges, but we are still a long way from knowing what causes such changes and how to rectify them with a cure. Medications, cognitive behavioral therapies, and occasional electroshock therapy are some of the tools on hand, but it is the hope that some day something more permanently effective will make such institutions no longer necessary.
If you want to see one of my favorite documentaries ever and that is absolutely creepy-rama, check out "Cropsey," about two locals in NY who check out an old abandoned mental facility that was closed down after extreme abuse was reported. An ex-worker from the place was later found to kill children in the area with disabilities.
Now, for a totally creepy film about mental health abuses, try "The House On Haunted Hill," 1999 version.
Or, try this one about escaped mental patients going after their new psychiatrist (Alone in the Dark) -
Are asylums haunted?
Given the degree of agony and emotional outbursts, the electrical and chemical adjustments made to the individuals within, and the fact that many institutions were built of stone long ago when we didn't know how to handle mental illness, yes, they are likely some of the most haunted places in the world. A good deal of patients were buried on the grounds, as families had long ago abandoned them.
Let's look at Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia. If you add up the waterways, cemetery, geology, that it is the second largest sandstone structure in the world, that it housed patients from 1864 until 1994, it is the most ideal spirit vessel ever created.
Today, they offer Ghost Tours and with good reason. Nearly every possible type of haunting has occurred in this massive structure. If you add in things like Feng Shui, you might find even more reason for the dead to linger.
People don't usually consider this, but by the standards of feng shui and the way energy travels, a hallway with staggered doors is likely to be more haunted than one where doors face each other.
Energy comes through windows, crosses the room, out the open doorway and into the opposing open doorway and out the window. You have a straight line of energy traveling.
But, if doorways are staggered, you have energy coming through the window, through the open doorway, hitting a wall and tangling in a back and forth pinball machine type zig-zag down the hallway causing a constant disruption like an endless mirror reflection.
On April 27th, there will be a post up on here about a checklist of what to look for in a location to see if it has haunted potential before even investigating.
Here's some of the most haunted asylums in America.
Pennhurst Asylum
Athens Lunatic Asylum (The Ridges)
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Rolling Hills Asylum
Danvers Lunatic Asylum

The House of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, a branch of the Wittelsbach dynasty, was the ruling dynasty of Sweden from 1654 to 1720.

By this point it had splintered into several different houses. The Royal House of Sweden was represented by the branch Palatinate-Zweibrücken-Kleeburg.

The ancestor of the House of Palatinate-Zweibrücken was Stephen, Count Palatine of Simmern-Zweibrücken (1385–1459), a son of King Rupert of Germany.

The Perfect Cure: What We've Learned About Drying Marijuana After Decades of Trial and Error
Our columnists from the Emerald Triangle share tips for one of the most vital steps in cannabis harvesting. As Nikki and Swami say, "The key to a good cure is to be kind to your girls!"

Crafting the perfect cannabis flower is a demanding process from seed to sale, and the drying and curing stages are critical aspects. Far too many farmers work hard all summer in their gardens, only to blow it during these vital steps. Many harvest too early; others too late. The master growers, however, know exactly how to pamper their buds from the time they are cut until they are packaged and ready for enjoyment.
Back in the earlier days of the Emerald Triangle, when hiding from the cops and growing under manzanita bushes was the norm, you could sell marijuana for $4000 a pound. During the curing process, residents hung plants under canopies or plastic carports, and everyone prayed that the rainy season would hold off for a while. When it didn't — which was more often than not — weed would be trimmed and sent off to market before it was properly dried. I remember one instance of a farmer leaving open grocery bags filled with pounds of pot on the back seat of his car to finish drying as he drove them to the dealer. The demand was high; people were happy to pay lots of money for whatever they could get.
Things have changed in the decades since, and you can apparently teach an old farmer new tricks, as we've all learned over time what helps and hinders the drying process, known in the business as 'curing.' For example, never try to rush the drying process by using excessive heat — it will greatly diminish the quality of your bud. Never put your flower away in plastic bags unless you're certain it's fully dried, or you may open it up later to find a moldy mushy mess. Every year, we try to use less plastic in the harvesting process in order to create less landfill.
Years ago, a longtime grower friend taught us the secret of using unbleached Kraft paper to wrap the cannabis when it comes down from drying. We buy it by the roll and make tall cones to hold the bucked branches. After a few days in the cone, when the flowers are feeling dry enough, we'll close up the top and continue to let it dry a few more days. A skilled farmer can tell when the level of humidity in the bag is just right with just his or her fingertips. At that point, the cannabis goes into big plastic tubs, carefully marked to separate strains and plants.
It doesn't stop there, though. A burping schedule is recommended, which means popping open the tubs and bags every few days over a couple of weeks or so. When the stems are easy to snap, you know that the cannabis is fully dried. At this point, it's ready to be trimmed and packaged. Traditionally, trimmed flower is put in turkey bags, which have been popular for years since they actually seal odor, making it best for transportation reasons. But now that we are entering this new era of legality, other options are available. On our farm, we choose to treat our girls like real princesses. In order to preserve the freshness of the plants, we gently place each bud into violet blue apothecary glass jars, which we seal tightly and then transport to the dispensary — not unlike how a vinter carefully bottles wine before distributing it. This offers consumers the assurance that no one else has touched the product since it left the farm.
The weather during harvest plays a key role during the curing process, too. If it's rainy, you'd better have your dehumidifiers ready to go. If the weather is sunny, be sure it doesn't crisp up your plants by drying them too fast. The humidity levels should be around 65, and fans are essential to keep the air flowing. It's kind of like Goldilocks — you want the conditions in the dry shed just right…
In the old days, farmers used to do a "wet trim," cutting all the leaves off the buds as soon as they were harvested. The theory was doing a good scissor trim before hanging them to dry would foster tighter buds, but it also means more handling of the plants. As Master Hashishin Frenchy Cannoli once explained to us, "It is all about keeping the trichomes intact." To that end, we recommend a quick yellow or fan leaf plucking before hanging, while leaving some leaves on the plant to protect the precious buds while they dry.
Some farmers use a trim machine to save on labor expenses, but it shows in the final product. While serving as judges in the Emerald Cup, Swami and I can spot a machine trim job by eye — and believe me, these plants never win. Under a scope, it is easy to see how the tops of the trichomes have been literally knocked off, reducing potency of the bud. Treat your girls with care and respect and they will love you in return. Don't scalp your daughters — pamper them!
Every farmer has their own techniques, developed after years of trial and error. There are a few of us even experimenting with curing, with certain farmers trying to "lay down" some jars of flower for upwards of nine months, and sometimes as long as a couple years, to see how aging affects the crops. So far, the aged cannabis we've tried is more mellow on the body, but still very stony. Typically, we prefer to not smoke our cannabis until after January — at the earliest — allowing it time to fully cure and come into its own. The key to a good cure is to be kind to your girls. Like Otis Redding said, "Try a little tenderness"... you will be rewarded.
Stay tuned for more dispatches from the Emerald Triangle, as Swami and Nikki will continue detailing the harvest process of their crops from seed to sale. And visit their website for more on the veteran growers.
Known as "The Cannabis Couple," Nikki Lastreto and Swami Chaitanya have been proudly promoting cannabis use for decades. As cannabis cultivators in Mendocino County, the heart of the legendary "Emerald Triangle" region, Nikki and Swami are behind the brand Swami Select, producing taste and pure flowers grown in full sun with organic methods, plus that extra little Swami touch.

The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school. It makes science attractive and not the usual intimidating subject. The kit unleashes a scientist in each and every learner that uses it.


"Claudia is amazing to work with no matter what task she is asked to solve or complete. Her voice over technique and skill is incomparable. She is able to take a sample script and add to it, take away where needed, and ultimately perfect the intent of the words to meet the needs of the listener and brand she is working with.
"Hiring Claudia was one of the best decisions I've made in my professional career. Claudia is meticulously detail oriented and has a knack for "seeing around the bend" then taking appropriate actions to circumvent potential problems. She takes initiative when she sees a task that needs to be done and completes that task beyond expectations.
Claudia is very personable with a constant disposition that makes everyone around her at ease and comfortable. Smiling under pressure is not a talent everyone has but she does it with style under the most adverse conditions.

Q: Dropbox sync API does not returns file with no extension I was working with dropbox sync api on android platform, all seems to work smoothly except following case:
When i upload a file on dropbox which has no extension, then a call to listFolder(dbxPath) does not return file that had no extension.
I am uploading file through Linux platform, e.g A filename XYZ which is text file on linux.
but when i changing the filename of the same file to XYZ.txt, then, listFolder(dbxPath) returns the info about file.
It would be nice if someone explain this behavior, and possible solution too (as dropbox application is able to show XYZ file).

A: Moving this to an answer... the issue is that you have "documents" permission, and that doesn't include extensionless files.
See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/devguide#app-permissions for the full list of file extensions supported by each file type.

The Marcus King Band To Headline Irving Plaza In New York City
May 24, 2018 Lauren Jackson CEG Presents, Irving Plaza, Nolafunk, NYC, The Marcus King Band
CEG & Nolafunk are thrilled to present singer, songwriter, guitarist, and bandleader Marcus King with his full band live at Irving Plaza on Friday, November 16, 2018. Musical support act to be announced.
Raised in Greenville, South Carolina, King was brought up on the blues, playing shows as a pre-teen sideman with his father—bluesman Marvin King, who himself was the son of a regionally-known guitarist—before striking out on his own. Going beyond the sonic textures of his acclaimed 2015 debut album, Soul Insight; The Marcus King Band broadens their sound, touching upon everything from funky R&B to Southern soul and Americana in the process. His band gets in on the action too, stacking the songs with blasts of swampy brass, a lock-step rhythm section and swirling organ. Ever the multi-tasker, King bounces between several instruments, handling electric and acoustic guitar — as well as pedal and lap steel — while driving each track home with his soulful, incendiary voice. The Marcus King Band features Jack Ryan on drums and percussion, Stephen Campbell on bass, Dean Mitchell on saxophone, Justin Johnson on trumpet, trombone and backing vocals, and DeShawn Alexander on keys. Joining the band on the new album are a number of mentors and collaborators, including Derek Trucks (who plays guitar on "Self-Hatred").
At only 21 years of age, Marcus King's dazzling musical ability is evident throughout The Marcus King Band, the young phenom's 2nd full-length LP and first for Fantasy Records. Having spent the past year tirelessly playing ever-larger venues and festivals to a burgeoning fan base, The Marcus King Band was written on the road and recorded during a series of live takes at Carriage House Studios in Stamford, CT. The album captures the energy of the band's blazing live show, as well as the talent of a rising young songwriter reaching well beyond his years. Operating within the fiery brand of American roots music that King calls "soul-influenced psychedelic southern rock," the album highlights King's gorgeous, rough-hewn vocals, soaring guitar work and heartfelt songwriting all amidst a group of masterful musicians who, together, are quickly becoming one of the country's most sought after live acts.

The concentration of free electrons by the skin effect is possible with the help of an alternating current through a conductor. However, a conductor has hardly any energy consumption by itself so the power source must have a load to ensure a suitable flux of free electrons through the conductor.
The image below (10) shows a lamp ballast of a fluorescent light tube and a dimmer to regulate the internal resistance by increasing the frequency from 50 kHz to 100 kHz. The 1 to 10 volt dimmer has an on/off push switch and turning the knob regulates the output frequency of the lamp ballast. The ballast is suited for 1 fluorescent light tube in the range from 14 to 35 Watt. The power consumption of the lamp ballast itself is about 4 Watt.
The skin effect inside the reactor can be established by connecting the electrical input and output of the reactor to an output line of the lamp ballast. This forces the free electrons to the surface area of the conductor by the electrons involved by the power consumption of the light tube.
When I replace the zeolite/nickel mixture by a solid nickel rod I can measure the voltage and the waveform of the electric current that flows through the dummy reactor. In this way it is possible to observe the differences between the 2 configurations with 2 conductors (see "skin depth"). The outer tube is aluminium because it was impossible to buy a short nickel tube (only high quantities are available for industrial purposes).
Figure 11 shows the "dummy reactor". The direction of the electric current in both conductors is the same (configuration I). The other configuration (II) opposites the current in both connectors: B is connected to D and C is the output to the fluorescent light tube.
The thickness of the skin depth is minimal when the current flows in opposite direction inside both conductors. However, there is another mechanism that can periodically concentrate electron waves with the help of elastic vibrations. To get these elastic vibrations inside the zeolite mixture the electric current has to flow in the same direction inside both conductors.
The alternating current of the experiment with the dummy reactor (figure 11) was 235 Volt and the power consumption 20,5 Watt by 0,09 Ampere (inclusive the dummy reactor). The first test was configuration I (current in both conductors from left to right). The image below (12) showed the diagram (oscilloscope). The measurement was done between the connections A and B (see figure 11).
Configuration II – current in opposite direction – was tested in exactly the same way as configuration I. I expected a small difference between both diagrams because of the influence of the opposite direction of the current in both conductors. However, both are nearly identical. In other words: there shows to be no observable difference between configuration I and configuration II. Maybe that the next experiment with the "real" reactor will show some kind of deviation.
The reactor – filled with a 40% zeolite and 60% nickel powder mixture – is connected to the high frequency lamp ballast (see figure 10). However, increasing the frequency of the lamp ballast will decrease the power consumption because this feature of the lamp ballast is meant for dimming the light tube. The diagram below shows the power consumption in relation to the fluorescent light tubes (1 tube of 19 Watt or 2 tubes in series to get 38 Watt).
Measurements during the experiment are done with the help of an oscilloscope (connected to point A and B in figure 14) and with the help of a simple glass tube thermometer (max 110 degrees Celsius), resting upon the stainless steel thread end.
I have done a couple of measurements but there was no raise of temperature. The cause was not difficult to understand. The amplitude of the 50 kHz alternating current was decreased a lot in relation to the dummy reactor so I have to conclude that the skin effect was not optimal (see figure 15).
Vrms is decreased from 1,19 V (diagram figure 12: dummy reactor) to 0,01633 V (nickel/zeolite reactor). It is a bit difficult to draw conclusions because the adjusted frequencies were not noted. However, the overall power consumption didn't differ much so the result is a bit awkward.
After all, fusion of the hydrogen will produce oxygen atoms and there is a chance there is an explosion within the reactor after some time. I have to eleminate the risk before I try another configuration.

The Automatic Bandwidth Limiter feature is intended for use with Cable/DSL internet connections. It uses ICMP pings to measure congestion and adjusts the bandwidth throttle to maintain a rate just below full capacity. You can access this feature from the Bandwidth View, by clicking the 'Details' button.
This feature may not work on all internet connections. If you are having problems getting this to work, it is best to not use it and simply set a reasonable outgoing throttle rate as described on the Optimizing Tixati page.
Cable and DSL modems often have a large send buffer, which can hold approximately two seconds worth of outgoing traffic. The equipment on the other side of the connection (DSL line card or Cable head-end) also has a large buffer that can hold about two seconds worth of data before it is transmitted in the opposite direction, to your home. Because of this, when you are utilizing 100% of your connection speed, these buffers fill up and delay ALL traffic, and this can impact performance significantly.
The solution is to limit traffic flows to just under full capacity. This keeps the buffers in a near-empty state, and keeps latency (delay) to a minimum, which allows downloading, web browsing, and almost any other activity to proceed without hindrance.
First, a traceroute is used to find the first publicly-addressed router between your computer and the rest of the internet. This router is then pinged every two seconds and the high and low ping times are applied against a set of configurable rules that determine when to raise or lower the bandwidth throttle.
The status section allows you to start and stop the automatic adjustments, and shows several pieces of information about the current state of the throttle and the ping measurements.
The lower right side of the window shows the current throttle state.
The 'Maximum' is the user-configured maximum rate set in the Bandwidth View.
The 'Gate' works as a secondary maximum, which keeps the throttle from being raised more than 20% above peak traffic levels within the past 90 seconds. This stops the throttle from climbing out of control when traffic levels are below the current 'Throttle' and latency is low.
The 'Minimum' can be changed under the Rules tab.
These are the rules that determine when the throttle is raised or lowered based on ping times.
You may have to experiment with different target ping times and In:Out throttle ratios to suit your internet connection.
These should work well for most users.
This is the same as the standard rules, except the target ping is 170ms instead of 135.
This is the same as the standard rules, except the target ping is 120ms instead of 135.
The In:Out ratio is 6.5:1 instead of the standard 5:1. This may work better if your internet connection has a very small upload capacity compared to the download capacity.
The In:Out ratio is 8:1 instead of the standard 5:1. This is for users with extremely small upload capacity.
These rules adjust the throttle more slowly than the standard rules. Use these if your throttle is oscillating too much.
These rules have a narrower window of tolerance for ping times, and will adjust the throttle more often and quicker than the standard rules. Use these if you need more aggressive adjustments.
These rules are experimental, and work using average ping times only instead of the high/low system in the other rule sets. Most users have poor results with these rules.
This tab allows you to change the way traceroute and ping are used to measure latency. Changing these settings is not recommended.


San Francisco is suing five of the world's largest oil and gas companies for the costs of sea walls and other infrastructure needed to protect against climate change.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in California court accuses the companies of ignoring warnings that fossil fuels would cause catastrophic global warming and mounting campaigns to discredit climate change science. It says the companies have created a public nuisance. The neighboring city of Oakland filed a separate, but similar suit.
The five companies include Chevron, Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips. Chevron said in a statement that it welcomes serious attempts to address climate change, but these suits do not do that.
ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips did not immediately comment.
At least two other California counties and one city have filed similar suits.
