Should You Acidify Your Sparge Water?
Should you acidify your sparge water? Probably not.
Ideas filter into brewing all the time. Most of the time, new ideas simply fall by the wayside. Others enjoy a brief moment of popularity before fading into obscurity. A very few are tested through the experience of brewers, show that they make a positive difference and become a permanent part of the way we brew. One new idea in homebrewing is that you should acidify your sparge water. I will argue that, for most homebrewers, this is not accomplishing anything worthwhile.
The idea behind acidifying your sparge water is straightforward. When you mash, you want the pH to fall into a range (5.2–5.6) that favors the action of the amylase enzymes. As you collect the wort and begin sparging, the pH of the runoff wort will start rising. If it rises above a pH of 5.8, excessive tannins (and silicates) will be extracted from the grain husks, leading to astringency in your beer. The idea behind sparge water acidification is to add acid to your sparge water to prevent the pH of your final runnings from rising above 5.8, and thus prevent your beer from being astringent. I have read from one prominent homebrew author and heard from another that a pH of 5.5 in your sparge water is desirable.
That's the Facts, Jack. But . . .
You've probably heard the saying, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing," and I think that applies here. But let's start by acknowledging that each little piece of the above argument above is true. You do want your mash to fall into a reasonable range (and 5.2–5.6 is the oft-quoted range); you don't want the pH of your final runnings to exceed 5.8 (because excessive tannins will be extracted) and adding acid to sparge water does lower its pH. However, let's take a look at what this argument is ignoring.
The third, and by far most important, thing to consider is that most homebrew does not suffer from being overly astringent. To me, acidifying your sparge water is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Beer has been brewed for centuries without doing this. None of the professional brewing texts I have mention this. (In Germany, while the Reinheitsgebot was in effect, this would not even have been permitted. Incidentally, German brewers sometimes used to late runnings from one beer as part of the mash liquor for the next brew.) If you regularly brew overly astringent beers, adding acid to your sparge water may help. But if you don't have a problem with astringency, why bother?
The husks of malted barley contain tannins. These can be extracted in excessive amounts at higher temperatures and pH levels.
For those with a chemistry background, there's one other way to look at this. Early during the runoff, when your wort is still at or near mash pH, the wort is not only acidic enough to prevent excessive tannins from being extracted, it is also fairly heavily buffered. (A buffer is a substance that resists pH change in a solution, and first wort has plenty of amino acids and other substances to buffer it.) Any acid in your sparge water is not doing much of anything at this point except lowering the buffering capacity slightly. The same amount of acid it would take to lower your sparge water from a pH of 7 to a pH of 5.5 is not enough to change your mash pH appreciably. (It would, however, slow the rise in pH towards 5.8 when collecting wort.) As you collect wort, the amount of dissolved solids (including sugars, acids and buffers) in it decreases and the pH rises. It's only at the point that the pH of the final runnings climb above 5.8 (or slightly before) that acidifying the sparge water would begin to help. And at that point, almost all of the sugars have been rinsed from the grain bed.
If you routinely sparge your grain bed until your final runnings are very dilute, or if you frequently yield overly astringent beers, acidifying your sparge water may be worth considering. (I would argue that collecting less work would be a better solution, but your mileage may vary.) If your beers are not unpleasantly astringent, then adding acid is at best not helping and at worst may add some unwanted flavor to your beer.
How Hot Should Your Sparge Water Be?
How Much Wort Should You Collect?
Well said Chris, Grain is cheap and it is always better to add more grain and stop sparging when you have collected enough sugar to reach your desired gravity following the boil. Of course you should prepare your sparge liquor properly by treating it to get the alkalinity to the level you desire for the beer style you are brewing. Most do this with acid, but there is no need to specifically drop the pH down to the levels quoted in 'home brewing' resources.
I too , don't like the use of lactic or phosphoric for water treatment, as they are not flavor neutral, sulphuric or hydrochloric are much better in that regard, plus they actually add desired flavour ions either sulphate for hoppy beers or chloride for malty ones.
Yes, well said. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing," is a perfect way to sum up these sorts of measures. The bottom line is that, if one takes the time to to think it through, that extra bit of sparging really does not get you much. If you are collecting wort below 1.010-012, you aren't collecting much desirable. It just will not make much of a desirable difference in your final beer (but it could make an undesirable one).
I remember some talk about this, a few years back, on one of the more popular online forums. The whole discussion evolved from a popular desire to raise efficiency to very high levels on the homebrew scale (i.e., commercial levels of 90-95%). As you might imagine, greater sparging was one method, and acidifying sparge water was discussed as a possible countermeasure. I do not recall what all became of the discussion as I stopped following it after a little while. I'd just as soon add a bit more grain than go through all that trouble and risk to save a couple bucks worth of grain.
That said, many homebrewers do enjoy certain challenges.
It's another practice that is adapted from commercial brewing techniques, where the practice is actually fairly common. Is it necessary at the homebrew level? Definitely not, but that won't stop people from doing it. It's also taught in brewing school, so I wouldn't dismiss the practice as entirely folly.
The whole acids adding flavor argument is a bit silly, because the minute amount of acid needed for sparge water acidification would never affect the flavor. It takes about a tablespoon or less for a standard batch size.
I'm not characterizing it as folly. I'm just saying that most homebrewers don't produce astringent beers, and this is likely because most don't sparge their grain beds until the pH rises to 5.8.
As with any tool or technique, it's nice to know in case the circumstances arise in which it was useful. However, as a matter of course, I would recommend not acidifying your sparge water unless you know you are going to be collecting enough wort to put yourself in danger of excess tannin extraction.
Yes, that is another productive way to look at it. Assuming your water chemistry lets you reach a reasonable mash pH, the specific gravity of your runnings is going to be low by the time the pH rises to 5.8. Acidifying your water and sparging longer gains you some extract efficiency, but at the cost of the acid and the time and fuel costs to boil away the extra wort. (For most homebrewers, I would guess that time is going to be the most important of these.) On the other hand, if you just stop collecting wort, you should be fine.
I have tap water with a lot of carbonates in it, and I do sometimes dilute my sparge water with distilled water to reduce their concentration (below the concentration of my brewing liquor). So, I'm not saying that adjusting your sparge water chemistry is always a dumb move. I am saying that — for most homebrewers — sparge water acidification is a solution to a problem that either doesn't exist for them or could be avoided (with little consequence) by stopping wort collection before the runnings climb above pH 5.8.
My water is ridiculously acidic and I had some issues with astringency. A BJCP judge suggested that my sparge water was above 168F when I entered a few beers in a competition. I know this wasn't the case, so I looked to my sparge pH. I didn't want to acidify my sparge water, so I started using 100% RO water. While No measuring acids and I'm assured that my sparge pH will be below 6.0. Since then I have never had astringency issues.
I meant my water ridiculously basic, not acidic. I live in an area on top of limestone so my water has upwards 350 ppm bicarbonate.
I figured you "mistyped." I do a similar thing by sometimes "cutting" my sparge water with distilled water towards the end of wort collection. I just add a bit of distilled water to the HLT every 5 minutes or so and keep the burner on low to heat it. Once it reaches my desired temperature, I just add a little more dH2O. By the end of the boil, the water is very low in any kind of mineral.
I like to add vinegar to my sparge water. It keep my color lighter and acetic acid is volitale in the boil. I use 1/2 gal to 14.5 gal of sparge initially then top off the sparge water with tap water as needed. My water has lots of bicarbonate. Also helps keep the later running smooth and doesn't affect taste. Small amounts of acetic acid can easily enter the yeast kreb cycle.
I use white vinegar as well, but only a small amount (around a half cup) for 4 gallons. I use distilled water for sparging. I only use enough vinegar to bring it down to around 6 pH and then bring the HLT up to a vigorous boil, then wait for it to cool to around 165-170 and begin the sparge. Never had an astringency issue, even with low gravity beers.
The amount of phosphoric acid used in colas is about 1000-fold more than that recommended to adjust sparge water. Measure the pH of Coke or Pepsi sometime. I would be hesitant to state that phosphoric acid would significantly alter flavor at pH 5.2-5.6.
I thought the Germans sprayed their grain with acid and thus were technically still only using grain, thereby conforming to the law, it was a way around it.
I acidify my sparge water with oranges or lemons (perfect for pale ales, IPA's…) and bring the sparge pH down from 7 to about 4. This is for bright session IPA's. The mouthfeel has improved. There is no taste issue.
Citrus zest, whole fruit flesh, or do you just cut them up and put them in the mash?


It's still so weird to say out loud and share with people, but its happening! Oh my god it's happening (name that movie haha) Check out my Blog Post Announcement here.
This has been a dream of mine since I started listening to them after Lucy was born. I had never heard of a podcast before this but I very quickly became obsessed. If you were to ask my friends, they'd all say that I would easily find ways to incorporate "so… I was listening to this podcast…" into pretty much any conversation I was having — with just about anyone. Listening to Podcasts became my favourite way to pass time. As a new mom, it was the simplest way for me to "engage" with other adults which left me feeling that much more encouraged instead of isolated in my tiny apartment during those frigid winter months. I also felt like I was being more productive with my time because I could listen while I did just about anything — plus the episodes I was listening to were helping me with my personal, parental & entrepreneurial development and growth.
After listening to a wide variety of podcast shows (some were about home design, Motherhood, side hustles, inspiring interviews with Ms Oprah Winfrey, sermons, and MORE) I started to toy with the idea of doing one myself. Of course, I didn't tell anyone this at first. I just had a baby, I was up to my neck in laundry and dishes and diapers — there was no way that I would find the time to do anything for myself outside of maybe showering a few times a week.
Fast forward another year, and I was still as obsessed as ever (maybe even more). I had the crazy idea of sharing this goal with Jesse and immediately his response was something along the lines of "Finally!! I was waiting for you to say something" haha He knew!! Of course he knew. Not only did he know, but he also thought it was a fabulous idea and would continue to bring it up from time to time over the next few months. Jesse would create space in our weeks that allowed me to get away to blog and do all kinds of research on how to do this whole podcasting thing. It has been so amazing to have someone in my corner who 1- didn't think I was crazy for having such a big and lofty (or so I thought) dream and 2 – who did everything he could to encourage me and push me towards achieving this goal.
"What do you mean, we're going to buy a mic — today?" I said.
3 yes'!!! WHAT?! Two of these ladies, I had never even met or talked to outside of a few comments back and forth on several Instagram posts. I was in shock. How was it that people were already getting behind what I wanted to do without even really knowing me or seeing what I could do? I realized that I was on the right track. God says that he will work all things for good for those who love him — and while that verse sounds all roses and butterflies, I think that it doesn't really mean that I want something cool, so like a good genie, God is going to come through. No, I believe that God put this dream in my heart. I believe that this lines up with the greater calling that God has on my life and He is working things out because I am being obedient, getting out of my comfort zone and pursuing the big dream that he has put before me.
I have been recording, editing and working really hard at putting together some great content for you guys and I am super excited about it.
I Can't wait for you all to listen in and share in one of my biggest goals, to date, becoming a reality!!
What is a goal of yours that you have been keeping on the back burner? Bring it forward and turn up that heat girl!! It's time to start following those dreams and make realities.
So awesome, and Jesse- its just so admirable to think of your spouse in this busy time and not only graciously "allow" but even push to give her her own time. To do that for a someone takes MATURITY and is not a first instinct! And Adrienne to wait and think it through is also pretty amazing, I mean I drop my many and random dreams on my husband like every day and expect him to get on board hahah… I'm excited for your new venture!

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty temporarily corrects these concerns using dermal filler injections and neurotoxins, like Botox® or Dysport. Filler injections, such as Restylane®™, Juvederm®™ or Radiesse®™ can enhance volume to flatten and conceal a bump, while Botox or Dysport can be used to raise the tip of the nose somewhat.
Who is the ideal patient for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
A Non-Surgical Nose Job is perfect for patients who are seeking to improve their profile on a short-term basis and obscure a bump or raise the tip of the nose. The procedure, however, sis not a substitute for a surgical Nose Job; it is a temporary solution that may only last 6 months. Consequently, a Non-Surgical Nose Job procedure is best for patients who are only looking for a short-term correction and who want to improve their appearance for a wedding, party or special event.
How do Surgical and Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty vary?
Traditional Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects the nose's configuration. Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty is restricted with regards to the outcome it can deliver. The procedure cannot make a nose smaller, change the structure of a nose or diminish a large tip or reduce a wide nose; a non-surgical treatment cannot help a patient with breathing issues. Dr. Slupchynskyj collaborates with each patient, listening to individual goals as part of a private consultation. He uses this time to determine whether a surgical or non-surgical procedure is the best option. Even if a patient is interested in a Rhinoplasty, Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty may be the best way to preview a new nose before committing to full-fledged Rhinoplasty.
What is recovery from Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty like?
When a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty is preformed carefully, the procedure takes about 15 minutes with topical aesthetic. Patients often schedule a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty during their lunch break. Since there is no downtime, they are able to return to work immediately and commence their daily routine.
How can you find a provider who specializes in Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
A Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty should be preformed by a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Specialist who possesses a mastery nasal anatomy both externally and internally within the nose. Otherwise, there is a risk that the filler will be placed incorrectly where it may move to different regions around the nose. When preformed by an inexperienced provider, there is always the risk that the bump may seem larger or that the filler may migrate into the nose, possibly blocking breathing passages. A Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Specialist with the expertise and familiarity with the procedure is imperative in order to ensure the safest and most natural results.
Contact Dr. Slupchynskyj's office to schedule your Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty consultation today.
Dr. Slupchynskyj performed Ethnic – African-American Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty with Nasal Narrowing; he applied his Proprietary Nasal Bridge Filling Technique with Alar Base Reduction. The patient is 1 week post-op, ready to go back to work.
20 year old Asian female requested Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty performed with Radiesse®™. The nasal bridge was raised with Radiesse®™ filler. This Non-Surgical Nose Job is perfect for patients that just want to elevate the bridge of their nose and do not need any other work. The procedure is completed in the office and takes less than 20 minutes. Patients go about their day immediately. While not every patient is a candidate, Dr. Slupchynskyj can ascertain that with pre-op photos or a consultation.


NEW YORK, United States- The Detroit Pistons clinched the final ticket to the NBA playoffs Wednesday, sealing their first postseason berth since 2016 with a 115-89 defeat of the New York Knicks.
With Eastern Conference rivals the Charlotte Hornets losing to the Orlando Magic elsewhere in Wednesday's final round of regular season games, the Pistons would have advanced regardless of their result against the Knicks.
Detroit's reward for claiming the eighth and final seed in the Eastern Conference is a first round playoff duel with the Milwaukee Bucks.
"We're still in the growth process," Casey said afterwards. "We're ahead of the curve. This is the first step for us, for our young guys to experience the playoffs and to understand what it takes to get there and hopefully make some noise.
"It's a great first step for our organisation and our fans. We're not where we want to be, but we're not where we were," he added.
Walker's superb display was backed with 22 points from Jeremy Lamb and 18 points from Miles Bridges.
Aaron Gordon added 27 points while D.J. Augustin (18) and Evan Fournier (14) also cracked double digits.

Q: Distribution of distances of successive zeros of $f(x)={\rm cos}(x)+{\rm cos}(\alpha x)+{\rm cos}(\beta x)$ Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be incommensurate real numbers.
Consider the function
$f(x)={\rm cos}(x)+{\rm cos}(\alpha x)+{\rm cos}(\beta x)$
and its positive zeros $x_k(\alpha,\beta)$.
Fix $\alpha$ and $\beta$, and consider the distances between successive zeros $z_k=x_{k+1}-x_k$.
The concrete distribution of the zeros depends on $\alpha$ and $\beta$,
but the distribution always shows singularities. Here are some examples
for the first 100k zeros for various $\alpha$ and $\beta$:

The position of the singularities does obviously depend on the continued fraction representation of $\alpha$ and $\beta$, as higher rational approximations to $\alpha$ and $\beta$ will display similar distributions.
My question is: Can one write down explicit approximations for the positions of these singularities in these distributions of the distances between the zeros in terms of the continued fraction expansions of $\alpha$ and $\beta$?
(The distances $z_k$ and $z_{k+1}$ are strongly correlated.)
The function $f(x)$ is almost periodic. In the literature about almost periodic functions I could not locate information about the distribution
of the distances between the zeros.
Mathematica code to generate the images: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B649LNvIOdYnaDctRElFYjQ2RlU

A: The peaks arise from envelopes that arise when the function value nearly repeats. The peaks are at the roots of the implicit equation $\pm {\rm cos}(x)\pm {\rm cos}(\alpha x)\pm {\rm cos}(\beta x)=0$ for the case of the function $f(x)= {\rm cos}(x)+ {\rm cos}(\alpha x)+ {\rm cos}(\beta x)=0$. More details can be found here.

A: Here is how I think of this problem from a ergodic theory point of view. Because the system is ergodic for long time the point $(t [2\pi] , \alpha t [2\pi], \beta t [2\pi] )$ should span $[2\pi]^3 $ with equidistribution . Therefore the distribution of the distance $t$ between two consecutive zeros should be given by the measure of the set defined by
$$\begin{cases} \cos(x)+\cos(y)+\cos(z)=0 \\ \cos(x+t)+\cos(y+\alpha t)+\cos(z+\beta t)=0\end{cases} $$
Let $(u,v,w)$ an orthogonal basis with $u=(1,\alpha,\beta)$ and let $(a,b,c)$ the coordinate of $(x,y,z)$ in this basis. The previous equations give us
$$\begin{cases} a_1=g_1(b,c) \\ a_2=g_2(b,c) \\ t=a_2-a_1\end{cases} $$We can think of $a_1$ and $a_2$ as the fist and second time we cross the set $\cos(x) +\cos(y)+\cos(z) =0 $ starting from the point $(0,b,c)$.
On the $\nabla (g_2-g_1)\neq 0$, the solution is a smooth curve,therefore the singalarities can only appear when $\nabla (g_2-g_1) = 0$. As a conclusion, the singularities should only exists for $t$ such that exists $(x,y,z)$ solution of
$$\begin{cases} \cos(x)+\cos(y)+\cos(z)=0 \\ \cos(x+t)+\cos(y+\alpha t)+\cos(z+\beta t)=0 \\ \nabla(g_2-g_1)=0 \end{cases}$$
This explain the singularity at the boundaries of the set on your first diagram (extremum $\Rightarrow \nabla (g_2 -g_1)=0$ ).
I try to solve the system numerically for $\alpha=\sqrt{2},\beta=\sqrt{3}$ and it gives me $t \approx 2.275$. Does it make sense with your last diagram?

Alpha Bank Romania reports successful closing of EUR 200 mln mortgage bond issue
Alpha Bank Romania announced that it completed the first mortgage bond issue worth EUR 200 million, a first for the banking market in Romania.
With these bonds, Alpha Bank Romania re-finances bundles of retail mortgage loans. The bank plans to issue EUR 1 billion of such debt instruments.
Both local and international institutional investors, such as the International Financial Corporation (IFC) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), bought Alpha Bank's covered bonds, Ziarul Financiar reported. EBRD announced that it invested EUR 40 million, taking a fifth of the whole issue.
"Following the success of Alpha Bank, and in the context of improved legislation, we hope to see mortgage bonds issues from other Romanian banks as well. Several similar programs will improve the resilience of the Romanian banking system, also contributing to increased lending and financial intermediation," said Lucyna Stanczak-Wuczynska, EBRD Director for EU Banks.
The bank plans to list the bonds on both the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

Demystifying the publishing process: What value do open access book publishers add? Part 1
By: Guest contributor, Fri May 7 2021
Academic publishers provide a range of services to authors who are looking to publish a book, whether for sharing their results with the research community, for career advancement, to cement their legacy, to fulfil funder requirements or another reason. But why involve a publisher if book authors want to publish their work online? Why not just self-publish?
Written by Christina Emery - with thanks to contributions from our open access editorial champions.
This two-part blog looks at the value that publishers add for open access book authors, focusing on Springer Nature's imprints, Palgrave Macmillan, Springer and Apress, all of which offer open access options for books. Find part 2 of this blog here.
For a more detailed look at all of the services and functions that publishers generally undertake, you could refer to Kent Anderson's blog for The Scholarly Kitchen, where he lists 102 things that journal publishers do, and Richard Fisher's blog, where he discusses the role of academic publishers.
How do authors choose a publisher?
As a book author, you might carefully choose your publisher based on a range of criteria including reputation of the publisher and their prestigious author list, recommendations from peers, whether there is a suitable book series, and the reach of that publisher to connect your work to relevant communities. If you are publishing an open access book, these criteria might change, as you might need to find funding for an open access fee, or book processing charge, leading to questions such as "what will the publisher be doing for me and my research?"
How do open access books work?
An open access book is a peer-reviewed eBook that can be read or downloaded by anyone, anywhere, immediately upon publication without needing to pay or log in. Authors must be acknowledged, and a Creative Commons (CC) licence indicates how the research can be shared, reused and built upon. Our authors retain copyright and we also provide a print copy of the eBook for purchase.
At Springer Nature there is a book processing charge (BPC) for open access books, which covers all the costs of commissioning, arranging peer review, copyediting and proofreading, production, dissemination and promotion of our authors' work, including online hosting and indexing. The charge also reflects our use of the most open and 'gold standard' licence; CC BY 4.0, which means that we may not make any further revenues from the title through its online access. The BPC is typically funded by the author's funder or institution (read our blog on tips for finding BPC funding). This model allows for the permanent and unrestricted distribution of research in a sustainable way.
If you need just one reason to publish your open access book through a reputable publisher rather than self-publish, then quality assurance is your answer.
Readers need a guarantee that the scientific developments and research theories presented are sound science and high quality content. Our open access books are therefore rigorously peer-reviewed as an integral part of the submission and evaluation process. The peer review system ensures that published research is authoritative and meets the international standards set by each discipline. We engage in a collaborative refereeing process for all of our books including open access titles, and peer reviewers are not informed whether the book will be published open access.
Abstracting and indexing services also boost quality assurance; the Directory of Open Access Books (a discovery service that indexes open access books) requires that all listed academic open access books are subjected to independent and external peer review prior to publication.
Our authors also have the opportunity to publish in book series that are indexed in reputed databases like Scopus.
A world-class editorial experience
Our experienced and dedicated editorial team provides an attentive and personal editorial experience to authors with guidance and support throughout the writing process, from the proposal to the final product.
"I felt very supported by the team and the valuable feedback I received at every stage of the publishing process made a very positive impact on the publication."
- Springer Nature book author survey response
Editors help to shape the book content for the market from the outset, providing invaluable advice. You will work closely with an editor in your field to refine your proposal, both before and after the peer review feedback. You might be interested in publishing in one of our book series; your editor can advise on the best fit and will pitch your book to the series editor on your behalf. Editors also work closely with our dedicated open access support team, helping to identify funding opportunities and navigate institutional requirements.
Molly Beck, Senior Editor at Palgrave Macmillan, shares why our partnership with authors is so important:
"Whether you're looking to publish your first book or you're a seasoned author, your editor is here to support you from proposal to publication. I love working with authors to develop their books from the germ of an idea to an expertly researched work that will advance their field and even change the world."
Publisher prestige
We are proud of our publishing heritage and reputation, and both authors and readers can feel confident in the high quality of our books. Indeed, prestige is important in the world of open access publishing, as there has been an unfortunate rise in 'predatory publishers' who charge fees without delivering the promised services. Reputable publishers are well-known and recognised by online indexers as well as the online checklist Think. Check. Submit.
In this interview, open access book author Dr Sven Teske shares why he chose to publish with Springer:
"I have been a scientist and engineer for more than 25 years, and for all of that time I have referred to numerous high-quality technical Springer published books. So given Springer's reputation and reach, it was an easy choice.

Tag Archives: stolen election
by JohnAllman.UK | Wednesday 20th January 2021 · 23:56
In the still-unfolding, still-unfinished aftermath of the bitterly disputed US Presidential Election of 2020, it seems like only yesterday – because it was only yesterday – that the United States of America was reportedly teetering on the brink of turmoil on the streets. Turmoil that would be at least a nuisance and, perhaps, far worse, internecine. The nation had also seemed to be in peril of the state meting out repression upon those who manifested their heterodox belief in a theory opposed to the alternative theory in which believe those who now have the upper hand politically.
Today, President Biden spoke fine words of peace, unity and reconciliation in his Inauguration Speech. This is welcome, but we've already seen how he is capable of that in one breath and saber-rattling in the next. (In fact, he did it today.) Biden's sincerity will be tested. Actions speak louder than words and sometimes contradict the actor's words, or tell us which mutually contradictory sayings of the actor to believe and which to put down to empty, schmaltzy virtue-signaling.
It wasn't a promising sign that Biden characterised his inauguration as a "victory for democracy", knowing that tens of millions in the USA still consider it to have been a defeat for democracy and many more than that all around the world don't know what to make of it.
A real victory for democracy would bring peace. But that peace would be at a heavy price for a politician, an unfashionable curiosity as to the truth in a post-truth world. For democracy to win and unanimously to be seen to have won, experts in probability and statistics must first do some data collection and analysis that the new Administration has ordered to be done. Both Biden and Trump alike will have to agree to follow the science, whether it brings good news or bad for their political ambitions.
No science, no peace. Or at best precious little peace, because any peace will be founded on ignorance and fear, not truth and respect.

The Art Gallery Scene of Hot Springs
Central Avenue, the main thoroughfare of downtown Hot Springs, was named one of the 10 Great Streets in the U.S. this year by the American Planning Association. The street is home to many eye-catching sights, including Gallery Row.
"Our galleries downtown are all within walking distance of each other and each is committed to creating a comfortable environment for experiencing works of art," said Alison Parsons, owner of Alison Parsons Gallery at 802 Central Avenue. "To get its true sense of significance one must experience art in person."
According to Parsons, who grew up in Hot Springs and opened her business in 2006, galleries plays a vital role in the city. "They are a place to build a community, an art ecosystem, cultivating relations between artists, collectors, our residents and visitors," she said.
Parsons, who is well known for her colorful paintings that capture local scenes like Bathhouse Row and Oaklawn, said each gallery in town exhibits a diverse range of art by local, regional and international artists. She added that Hot Springs is a resort town and the galleries are centrally located and within minutes of parks, lakes and area attractions.
The town is home to both a thriving and supportive arts community and also Gallery Walk, a monthly series that highlights new art exhibitions and showcases local art galleries and studio spaces. During the event, which is held the first Friday of every month, galleries stay open late and artists are also often present to discuss their work.
Among the many galleries that take part in this monthly series is Justus Fine Art Gallery, located at 827 A. Central Avenue. Dolores Justus has owned the gallery for around10 years and her space, which hosts new exhibits every month, features her own work along with work by many other established Arkansas artists including noted sculptor Robyn Horn.
"The galleries have played a big role in the development downtown," said Justus. "There have also been a lot of collaborative events between the galleries and artists, with many of the other art events and programs including music, film, poetry, theater and arts education."
Justus, who is also a painter and has lived in the city for over 20 years, said the Italian artist Benini helped spur the art scene in Hot Springs when he opened a gallery in town in the late 1980s, but prior to that, there was already a strong creative culture in place. Local artists such as the Larsons at Fox Pass Pottery, pen and ink artist Gary Simmons, and others had already laid an important foundation for the further development of the arts.
Justus stated that now Hot Springs has become a destination for art collectors and appreciators. "The galleries and other exhibit venues offer a range of work from artists who are just starting out, to those who are in prominent museum collections," she said.
"For the gallery owners, it is certainly a labor of love," she added. "I hope with a lot of the improvements that are happening downtown, the arts will continue to grow and develop. The fine art galleries and wide range of culture offering in Hot Springs are something for the community and state to be really proud of."

They say you don't get something for nothing. They're demonstrably wrong. For example, in July, you've been able to get at least six somethings for nothing. They're all PC games as well, as it happens. Here's the best in freebie entertainment from the last month, ready to play on your personal home computer video game entertainment systems.
Valve Software. Grab it on Steam .
You'd have been hard pressed this month to have avoided Alien Swarm , Valve's free co-op shooter. Announced and then released in quick succession, it's a game that's managed to make quite some noise in the past couple of weeks - and with good reason.
A standalone, Source Engine-powered update to the classic UT2004 mod of the same name, this top-down shooter is a wonderfully polished effort. Occuping a sort of middle-ground of an Alien Breed/ Left 4 Dead/ Team Fortress 2 triangle, it contains a whole load of squad-based fun. Just be sure to hone your gun-toting and teamwork skills: it's not by any means an easy ride.
The Peanut Gallery . Play online .
pOnd is a little bit special. Interpret the word 'special' as you wish. Here's a web game which rests on an interesting and unexplored mechanic: that of breathing. You're on a relaxing walk in the countryside, inhaling the crisp air deeply. That's your somewhat unusual core mechanic in this quirky one-button game.
To be fair, it's not the most exciting setup. And admittedly, while the opening is interesting, it begins to get somewhat tedious rather quickly. However, it sure knows how to up the ante again towards the end. Make sure you play at least until you arrive at the pond, as there's a properly magical scene awaiting.
Rekcahdam . Download it here .
This is a smart and stylish shoot/puzzle-'em-up that combines Braid with P.B. Winterbottom and adds just a dash of classic side-scrolling action. In this black and white world, glowing objects can be interacted with. But many require more pairs of hands than are attached to your macho body. And there's baddies to be fought, as well. Scary baddies with scary guns.
Fortunately you've also the power to open up a wormhole, which effectively allows you to send a helpful clone of yourself through time loops. It's not a long game if you know what you're doing, but some of the puzzles are challenging enough that it'll take you a few goes - not to mention a whole truckload of brainpower - to get them right.

Last year, during Easter, we were actually out camping in our new RV. Luckily, the Easter Bunny can find you anywhere, and if your kids are outdoorsy like mine, the chocolate alternatives to fill their baskets up with is overwhelming.
Need some ideas for your Easter egg hunt this year? Check out our Outdoor Easter Egg Hunt for a great time.
I especially love the headlamp idea! My kiddos would flip of those!
They have been a popular item at my house. Gulp – only one kid has one so Mommy is constantly sharing hers. I think that one might hop into the little one's basket!
Those are such fun ideas! We've never done Easter baskets, but I know my kids love all those things!!
Thanks! We think so too – what are you celebrating instead of Easter?
That is a great list and I'm going to use it this year to help make things easier. I book marked and shared. Great post!
Thanks, Jodi! Hope it helps.

Q: How to solve type object 'Series' has no attribute '_get_dtypes' error using modin.pandas? I am using modin.pandas to remove the duplicates from dataframe.
import modin.pandas as pd
import json, ast

df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['contact_id', 'test_id'])

df['test_id'] = df['test_id'].astype(str) # Coverting test_id column data type to string
df = df.drop_duplicates(subset=['test_id', 'contact_id'], keep='first') #removing the dupplicates row
df['test_id'] = df['test_id'].apply(ast.literal_eval) # converting test_id column data type to dict

Getting below error
type object 'Series' has no attribute '_get_dtypes'

Can anyone guide me how can I fix this?

A: It looks like that Modin version, which you are using, is old enough. I don't have the issue on the latest master. Please, try install Modin from sources:
pip uninstall modin # remove current Modin at first
pip install git+https://github.com/modin-project/modin

By the way, Modin released 0.9.0 version recently. You can also try to install it.
pip uninstall modin # remove current Modin at first
pip install modin


Abbey Wood is a purpose-built site in Filton, Bristol, United Kingdom, that houses the Defence Equipment and Support procurement organisation.
The building project involved over 130,000 m² of buildings including offices, restaurants, library, sports facilities, training rooms, auditoria and conferences rooms, support facilities and a crèche together with landscaping and external works.
The design team still clearly feel a sense of pride for the building and DQI post occupancy evaluation revealed that many users have echoed this sentiment.
The healthier working environment created has reduced absenteeism and people have become more environmentally aware since they have been in the building.
The evaluation also shown that there is a need for more flexibility in the size of meeting rooms, in particular there is a need for more smaller 2-4 person size rooms.

Rival Consoles
Night Melody / Articulation
Erased Tapes
Some of London-based electronic songwriter Ryan Lee West's most recognised work to date comes in the shape of spontaneous EP or so-called mini album releases— clocking in just under the 40-minute mark, keeping their contents urgent, immediate and to the point.
As with his 2013 EP Odyssey and 2014's Sonne, which were later compiled to a full-length release titled Odyssey / Sonne in 2015, there is a similarly strong synergy between his 2016 mini album Night Melody and this year's Articulation — made available on CD and digital formats under the title Night Melody / Articulation.
His 34-minute, 6-track mini album Night Melody was born out of and shaped by long hours working into the night. It's nocturnal in sound; mysterious in the way that the early hours so often are. The opening statement Pattern Of The North starts off with a collage of spliced synth melodies, inspired by anxiety that accompanies going home for Christmas. It's followed by Johannesburg, an early sketch gradually filled out during his tour in South Africa. The closing statement What Sorrow is a fitting end to the album, building from gentle melancholia to a joyous crescendo. It's a sensibility that's central to the record; joy and sorrow both find their counterpoints.
July 31, 2020 saw the release of his highly anticipated new album Articulation with an equal running time of 34 minutes. Lead track and album centrepiece 'Articulation' links the record back to the analogue fluidity and colour of 2016's Night Melody. The division of varying time signatures, intertwined with a complex structure of notes, creates an expression of a moving structure and conjures a dreamy, motorik energy.
Articulation was conceived with a very visual way of thinking, unusual for the London musician and producer. During the writing process Ryan drew structures, shapes and patterns by hand to try and find new ways of thinking about music, giving himself a way to problem-solve away from the computer. The album title references a piece by the avant-garde contemporary composer Györgi Ligeti, though not for its music, but for the non-traditional graphic score that accompanied it.
The idea of using analogue drawings and tools to bolster digital creations can be heard in the structure of the pieces that make up Articulation from the broody techno opener 'Vibrations on a String' all the way to the album's boundless closer 'Sudden Awareness of Now'. Rising out of birdsong heard from his studio window, it has a particular urgency about it and seems to perfectly capture a longing for escape. Built around a simple and repetitive melodic theme, expanding and retracting over the course of its seven-minute odyssey.
Barry says: Rival Consoles' albums are a thing to behold, hugely cinematic journeys of depth, intricacy and groove. the EP's are like snapshots of these, a short-movie if you will. Now they've collected two STUNNING EP's together onto one easy to digest CD. What are you waiting for?

@ Yubaru Well, the cops were there directing us during the parade and no one was arrested . I find it hilarious that someone was trying to quote indecency laws.
I guess for me at the end of the day is why MUST I be expected to support gay rights (whatever that means)? Do Man-boy love groups asK me to support them without question?
Wow! I'm actually appalled that you think that homosexuality is being crammed down your throat. And to compare homosexuality with pedophia?! Really?
!No one is forcing you to support gay rights or marriage. It's that now , it's more out in the open. No one has to be ''in the closet'' anymore, unless they choose to.
I CHOOSE to support gay rights. Me: a straight and married female. It's people like you that now gays are louder and prouder! I've witnessed first hand what denying your sexuality can do to a person. My sister didn't come out for years ,in fear of being ostracized by family and friends. She lived in a miserable existence and almost killed herself over it. When she finally came out, it was so liberating for her. I am so proud of her! She's now happy and healthy, being who she truly is.
Yesterday, I marched at that parade, for my sister and my friends who deserve to be free to love , be married, have a family and happy, like heterosexuals can be.
You're right Lowly. Maybe ''outlandish'' was the wrong choice of words. Maybe ''campy''. I took photos with them yesterday. Nicest guys and really cool.
@some14some, sooooooo that's all you took away from my comment. sigh. And as always, people judging from behind their comp screens.
Again, my point was that the press chose the most outlandish pic they could find instead of maybe the ones of people with ''normal'' clothes on. Makes for a better debate doesn't it.
I attended this event yesterday and was in the parade. Not everyone was dressed like this! It was only a few and some staff. I was there to show my support to my friends and a family member who are in the LGBT community. All I saw there was love, unity and sparkle.
So people who talk about the costumes because of one photo, really should stand back. If you weren't there, you have no room to talk and judge the whole event by one photo. And this was mild compared to the pride parades like in San Francisco and New York.
Maybe some folks should actually GO to the event before making comments about it.
I'd check out. Hopefully, it's a no smoking bar.
I'm proud that my country, Puerto Rico won. As we say in in PR ....WEPA!!!! Good try, Japan. Now DR is the team to beat.
I'm confused about the ''2 year ''thing. Did he know her? How did he know her routine so well?
The whole campaign to get rid of chikans hasn't worked. For the ''Ladies Only'' cars usually have men in them.
I'm happy and proud to have 3 cultures in my life. I was born in Puerto Rico, raised in NY, and married to a Japanese man. I'm proud that I can share my Puerto Rican and American culture with my Japanese family. However, I do have my ''Puerto Rican'' pride, because it's how I was raised at home.
It doesn't matter where you call home, as long as you don't forget where you're roots are.
@basroil. I get what you're saying. The photo of the Vietnamese girl being burned by napalm, 9/11 pics etc. But what photo journalistic integrity did this photo have?
From what I read in other articles, the pusher had been harassing and cussing at other passengers. The poor guy who got pushed ,was trying to calm him down and instead was catapulted into the tracks. There were other folks on the platform,but they ran away. I'm pretty sure if you saw somebody getting stabbed, shot or thrown down like that, many of you wouldn't stick around to see what happens next. Unlike Tokyo, people don't only carry knives.
Having said that, the photographer guy doesn't get a pass. His excuse was that he wasn't strong enough to lift the guy up. But yet he was snapping away during the man's final moments. That's not self-preservation, it's perversion.
Is this movie in the theaters or on T.V. I would love to watch it! ''Audition ,still haunts me.
Heartbreaking story. I'm speechless. Thanks for sharing.
Go Red Birds! I love the Cardinals!!
How about one for the women? Girls need cuddling too LOL!
Geez! It's like the town in ''Footloose'' squared!
RIP to all the victims and their families.
@smithinjapan I guess they have forgotten that little gem called ''Zero Wing'' and the awesome phrase ''All your bases are belong to us''.
If you're a true gamer, you will know this phrase.
Oh I forgot and I kick myself for forgetting to add to the list ''Poltergeist''.
I agree with some on this list , but ''Sleepy Hollow'' ''Underworld'' movies and Van Helsing''? The anime'' Hellsing'' is more scarier than that movie.
2) Suspiria - Dario Argento :if you don't know him, please try his movies.
3) Last House on The Left- the original Wes Craven one, not the remake.
5) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- Leatherface and cannibal hillbillies..
7) Ring- the original, because the sequels bordered on the ridiculous.
10) Glitter- Nothing is scarier than watching Mariah Carey act. Okay, I'm kidding. ''Wrong Turn''.
My YureKuru did not go off either. The place was shaking hard and it was silent. I thought my settings were wrong.
@magpie Yes, I have seen depression in it's worse form. I suffer from bipolar disorder as well as depression. But I didn't go out and kill anyone or ever wanted to harm my children.
I know what it's like to wake up every day wanting to die or have moments when you think you're in a black hole and thinking you can't get out. Or thinking you're worthless. At my worst, not eating or bathing for days. But mostly, my thoughts were harm to myself,not to others. Even in my darkest moments,never, EVER, did I think of harming another human being. I still knew the difference between right and wrong.
I can understand schizophrenia ,where a person cannot help doing what they do because they hallucinate or have voices in their head. But this guy didn't seem to suffer from that. He was selfish to take another life and make a half-hearted attempt to kill himself.
Poor little girl, she didn't deserve to go out like that. All children ask of us is to be loved and taken care of. And she was betrayed in the cruelest of ways by the person who was to protect her. I hope her dad does time in jail. As this is Japan, he may plead insanity and get off light. But the child deserves some kind of justice.
I really hate the excuse that ''depression'' made someone kill their child.
So the slurping is okay? Pot meet kettle.
I never thought I would see such homophobic comments on this thread- oh wait, I forgot momentarily where I was.
Why is that people treat homosexuality like it's threatening THEIR way of life? I just don't get it. My sister hid her homosexuality for so many years. It drove her to the point of being an alcoholic. I can't imagine what it's like to have to hide who you are just to satisfy the norm. Finally,when she came out, it was as if a weight was lifted from her shoulders.
I am so proud of her and happy to see her with her wife, who loves her and adores her. Call me a liberal,call me abnormal for wanting gays to have the same rights to marry and have a family like I do. Thumbs me down ,if that is what gets you through the day.
I'm always astounded at how the scammers pull it off. Don't the grannies or mamas ask questions? Or do the scammers know that their targets have sons?
I don't mean to sound stupid, but I really don't get how folks can be so easily bamboozled.

When it comes to travelling, it is needless to say that there is no better time or season for it. Every time is a perfect time to leave all of life's stresses behind and take the next flight out to our dream destination. Hence, it makes sense to do away with the stresses of vacation planning and to make it as simple as possible to travel – even for last minute trips.
Travel stress is a common phenomenon but it should not stop people from taking time off their allotted annual leave to see beyond the green side of their own grass. In fact, if anything it should be something which everyone should resolve to start doing more this year. After all, one of the greatest gifts of life is to travel hassle free.
Well, how about an app that kills two bird with one stone? Every frequent traveller would understand the pain of having multiple tabs open at once as they have to navigate between a myriad of sites just to settle one vacation alone. Now there's an app to give travel junkies less of a headache as we get to book out flight and accommodation in one single portal – and under sixty seconds to boot.
Meet Traveloka, the app which houses hotels and flights under one simple app. It gives us plenty of options to choose from and has the benefit of a fuss-free interface. After all, with a tagline, "Travel, made simple", it is their aim to provide an experience which is as seamless as possible.
Here are 5 simple steps to sail through your travel booking experience and the first thing to do in order to get a quick, honest experience with travel booking is to download the Traveloka app via app store or Google app store. Next, you are sixty seconds away from completing your next travel arrangement.
1. Search your flight on the app.
There are a plethora of flight service providers on the app, be it low cost airlines or premium flights, and the choice lies in the hands of the traveller, and what they wish to have for their trip. Traveloka is the largest flight and hotel booking platform in Indonesia, and they also offer competitive prices both in Singapore and Malaysia.
Filling up your personal details is something most of us can do even in our sleep. As such, it's nice to see how there are under 10 steps to fill in with the personal details section of the app, inclusive of name, birth date and passport details. For frequent travellers, this is a piece of cake but even if it's your first time using the app, it is a straight forward process. An added benefit with Traveloka is that they secretly reward past travellers as it auto saves all your past travel partners' details, hence you can do away with typing the details all over again.
With TravelokaQuick, you get to save your credit card details in advance so payment can be made in less than one minute. We all live in a generation whereby we want things to be quick and easy, and this is the same with our payment plans. Hence, it's good to know that with the app, there are no underlying prices that we do not know about, as what you see is what you pay. Where there are credit card charges with other flight provider platforms, there aren't any with Traveloka, so you get to save that extra bit more on your vacation.
4. Repeat the seamless process with hotel booking.
The same process can be repeated with the hotel booking, where all you have to do is to pick your hotel of choice, and fill in your personal details prior to making the payment. Whether you prefer living in a certain area, or accessibility is on the top of your travel plans, the app has got you covered with their endless search option.
5. Review your travel plans.
For anxious travellers, they would be glad to know that the app is literally just as important as their passport, and in fact, besides that, this is the only other tool they would need for their trip. With the 'My Booking' tab, all necessary details are housed in one single section and it makes travelling all the more easier. After all, it stores all your flight e-ticket and hotel vouchers and both can be shown at the airport and hotel check-ins so you can have a seamless and paperless transaction.
For those who choose to travel, it is wiser to go with the option that is as easy as can be. There are many choices available and ways to make our travel experience better, but don't we all want something that we can go back to time after time with each vacation and not be disappointed?
We live in a day and age where we have the privilege of being informed. Back then, it may not be possible to book our hotel and flight with such precision and ease, but now that we are able to do so, it is the smart route to take. After all, don't we all just want to get the travel planning out of the way as quickly as possible, so we could head on and enjoy that well deserved break? Perhaps now we can – in sixty seconds or less too.

China's photovoltaic (PV) module producer Risen Energy has secured an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract from Xinghai Group in Vietnam.
Under the contract, Risen Energy will provide EPC services to Xinghai Group's 4/5 solar power project in Loc Ninh. The company has also agreed to supply Jaeger monocrystalline PERC PV modules for the project.
Rise Energy claims its Jaeger components are light-induced degradation resistant, as well as light- and high-temperature-induced degradation resistant.
The company says the components will lower the levelised cost of energy while enhancing revenue from the facility's power generation. It intends to ship the components by December this year.
Xinghai Group's 4/5 has a combined capacity of 250MW. The company says it is one of the largest privately-funded EPC projects in the world. It is expected to help the company in improving its competitiveness in the Vietnamese market after it is connected to the grid.
A statement from Risen Energy said: "We are very delighted to partner with Xinghai Group on this project. The collaboration will not only further consolidate the company's market position in Vietnam, but also drive the development of the clean energy sector in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
"We will continue to make full use of our advantages to meet the diversified needs of customers worldwide and provide them with higher-quality PV products and services."
Last October, Risen Energy secured a contract to supply its solar PV modules for a power station in Malaysia. The company will deliver Jaeger 144 modules, which have an output power of up to 395W each.

March Madness: Boys' Quarter Finals
March 12, 2011 By appellationmountain 19 Comments
1905 Basketball Team from paukrus via Flickr
Thanks to everyone who voted in the first round of March Madness. The results were fascinating! We've gone from sixteen to eight.
The closest match-ups? Liam lost to Archer by just three votes. The biggest trouncing was Eamon, with 83% of the vote compared to St. John's measly 17%. My biggest disappointment was that Gray failed to make it out of the opening round.
But all that is in the past. Vote now and help us whittle it down to just four!
The dashing Dashiell (1) versus the pointed Archer (8)
It's the Celtic showdown: cheerful Eamon (2) versus friendly Finn (10)
Two rarities-on-the-rise face off: Huxley (3) versus Cian (6)
Possibly the most conservative names on the list: Tobias (13) versus Nathaniel (12)
March Madness: Boys' Opening Round
March Madness: Boys' Semi-Finals
March Madness: Boys' Final
March Madness 2011: The Victors!
Baby Name of the Day: Flint
Nathaniel won! Poll closed and Nathaniel is clearly the winner of the contest with Tobias. Yet Tobias was advanced to the next bracket. It looks like a do-over is needed for the boys' semi-finals.
silly eagle books says
Well, I just found a book called Finn and the Giant by Reg Keating for any parents of little Finns out there…it's got really cute illustrations.
My tough choice here was Finn vs Eamon. I am completely not into Celtic names, so I went with the more popular Finn.
Filipa says
I'm glad Cian is still on the run, but I prefer Ciano…
SadieSadie says
I love Eamon and I really hope it wins. I am kind of ambivialnt about Huxley and Cian but I love Nathaniel a lot!
Well, it looks like I'm playing devil's advocate (at least in the comments) by expressing my continued fondness for Finn. I realize it's becoming very popular, and that's unfortunate, but there's something about it that's so young, literary and handsome — I always think of Ethan Hawke's character in the '90s film adaptation of "Great Expectations."
I also still love Liam, and Gray does nothing for me. The color gray? If I were to name someone after a color, I wouldn't use that one.
My faves aren't in the lead 🙁 I seriously do not understand how Finn could be beating Eamon. I am beyond tired of Finn, not to mention that a fin is something a fish has…not something I want to associate with a child. *sigh* And I voted for Tobias over Nathaniel because I love S-enders!
I agree – Eamon is handsome (Irish Gaelic for Edmund I've read), while Finn is part of a fish (or at least that's my association).
Bek says
Put me in the "Sorry to see Gray go" camp! I was really disappointed when I saw it wasn't going to make it past round 1.
I'm beyond tired of Finn, and Eamon is so handsome! But I have a feeling Finn will push Eamon out, though it may be a bit close.
I'm with you, Lola, on choosing the lesser of two evils with Nathaniel and Tobias. I don't know why, but Tobias is just one of those names – I just can't bring myself to really like it. I think Nathaniel is so handsome, but I know so many (plus Nathans), that is has lost luster.
Emmy Jo says
I picked Archer, Eamon, Cian, and Tobias.
Archer vs. Dashiell — Dashiell is nice-sounding, but since I'm not personally familiar with the work of Dashiell Hammett, it would be an odd choice for me. And while I'm all in favor of literary names, there's something that feels a little pretentious about using an en vogue literary choice — like Atticus, Holden, or Dashiell. Of course, I know plenty of people find my son's name pretentious, so I don't mean to offend when I say this.
Eamon vs. Finn — Since I know that Finn is everywhere, it's starting to lose its appeal as an interesting choice. Plus, I like the friendly, open sound of vowel-beginners (like Eamon, Ewan, Owen, Evan, etc.).
Huxley vs. Cian — Both are cool names, though neither is one I'd ever use. I ultimately went with Cian. I think I prefer Cian pronounced as one syllable (like the word "keen"). Pronouncing it as two syllables causes it to blend in with other Irish choices (like Ciaran, Keenan, etc.).
Tobias vs. Nathaniel — This one was easy. One of my beloved S-enders vs. a name related to that of my ex-boyfriend? Definitely Tobias!
I'm disappointed that Gray didn't make it as well! I think its so Handsome and fresh!
KatieB says
Gray/Grey is definitly one of my favorite names. Though I'm not too keen on Grayson.
Lyndsay says
This was really easy for me again, though I expect next week will be much harder! So far, I've got two in the lead.
Well, I just knew going in, that I wasn't going to be in the popular vote. I adore St. John! *sigh*
The only one that gave me fits was Tobias/Nathaniel. I'm not really fond of either name. But I did vote for what was for me, the lesser of two evils.
I'm betting that Finn wins despite me. I'm *so* tired of Finn already! But that's just my best guess, of course! 🙂
That was still fun!
youcantcallitit says
But how many people are going to know to say "Sinjin?"
I voted Eamon out of Finn fatigue (and because I really do think it's handsome) and Tobias and Nathaniel gave me fits but only because I love both so much!
Most of the people I know already know to say Sinjin, because there's one in our circle of friends. It's more an opportunity to teach for me, rather than worrying no one would say it right. I think St. John's so dashing. Too bad I went to St. John's grammar school! My brother would think I was crazy. Still, love the sound! 😀
I actually know a St. John who had his name legally changed to Sinjin because he was so tired of the mispronunciations.
SilentOne says
Well, I got just over half right on my bracket for who'd advance to this round. Guess all that research I put into making my predictions wasn't really worth it. Hopefully my basketball research will pay off a bit more.
Sunday Summary: 3/13/11 | Appellation Mountain says:
[…] you have yet to vote in the March Madness Quarter Finals, Girls and Boys, there's still time.

Q: Android color picker with TextInputLayout OutlinedBox style in my Android app I use TextInputLayouts with TextInputEditTexts for user input and now I want to add a color picker that works like this picker from another app:

Is it possible to make it look like the other TextInputLayouts with the OutlinedBox style? I tried putting the color picker into a TextInputLayout but it seems to only accept EditTexts.

A: Add background to your Layout instead of TextInputLayout, because TextInputLayout is used for EditText views.

Hayley is one of SRSB's clients and is also an active supporter of our charity. She was first diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, also known as RP when she was 22, and when this happened she went into denial for the first few years.
Hayley felt that she had a normal life; married with three young children, worked as a a staff nurse, drove a car, went out socially and had her independence, which she took for granted. Then her night vision became worse and she was told she couldn't drive, which is when she felt her life stopped being normal.
She first became involved with SRSB quite by accident after her sister came across us because of her work, and following a phone call a visit was arranged to our Mappin Street Centre. "That first visit I remember clearly like a weight had lightened, I'd found somewhere that understood my frustrations and just as important could help me. And as if fate had intervened at the right time it happened to be the same time that the meetings for the support group for RP had started up.

Annahita Parsan född 1962 är en svensk-iransk präst och föreläsare.

Biografi
Parsan växte upp i Iran, gifte sig som 16-åring men blev kort efter första barnets födelse änka då hennes man dog i sviterna efter en bilolycka. Hon gifte om sig med en man som strax började misshandla henne. Hennes försök att skiljas hindrades genom hot att anklaga henne för otrohet, vilket efter den islamiska revolutionen 1979 med ringa beviskrav innebar risk för att bli stenad till döds. På grund av det politiska läget blev det omöjligt för Parsans man att stanna i landet, och hela familjen tvingades fly från Iran via Turkiet till Danmark.

Misshälligheterna i familjen fortsatte i Danmark, och efter sex år flydde Parsan till Sverige där hon under flera år vistades på skyddade boenden, bland annat i Vadstena kloster. Olika händelser och möten gjorde att hon 1994 blev kristen, öppnade eget skrädderi och jämsides började studera till präst i Uppsala. I januari 2012 vigdes hon till präst i Svenska kyrkan och kom samma år till Hammarbykyrkan i Stockholm, där hon alltjämt (2019) arbetar. Hennes förkunnelse har nått många farsitalande och gett en stor tillströmning av besökare i Hammarbykyrkan, något som bidragit till att hon 2018 tilldelades Evangelistfondens pris "Årets evangelist".

Parsans livsberättelse har återberättats bland annat i SVT2 och TV4 samt getts ut i boken Flykten till livet.

Utmärkelser
 2018 – Evangelistfondens pris "Årets evangelist" med motiveringen "Årets evangelist Annahita Parsan flydde 1984 från Iran. Idag är hon ledare för den persisktalande församlingen i Hammarbykyrkan och en av Sveriges mest välkända präster. Efter en lång och smärtsam resa genom livet där hon varit flykting, fått utstå misshandel och förtryck har hon med Guds hjälp blivit upprättad till den fruktbärande tjänst för kyrkan som hon står i idag."

The grievance process in prisons was ESTABLISHED TO GIVE PRISONERS A LEGITIMATE MEANS OR AIRING THEIR COMPLAINTS – as a direct result of the Attica Rebellion (1971). The Attica Rebellion occurred because prisoner had a no legitimate means of having their grievances and complaints heard by the prison administration.
NV-CURE would like to see the NDOC STOP RETALIATION against prisoner for filing grievances and lawsuits.
NV-CURE has been trying to stop this retaliation for a very long period to time. Nothing has been done to stop it. The retaliation has not stopped and has, in fact, increased. Something must be done.
We want the retaliation in Nevada prisons to stop and we would sincerely appreciate the Director taking action to stop it.
Retaliation is running rampant within NDOC.
and when I received my property two days later, many items were missing, including such things as my CD-player, AC/DC adaptor, beard trimmers and other small items like bowls, watch, etc.
All of the appliances were on my property card and were inventoried prior to transfer, but they have now vanished.
Property officers also removed my heart- and bloodpressure medication from my property and now I have gone eleven (11) days so far without any medication even after filing an Emergency Grievance and kites to Medical.
Now let me tell you about the food that is being served here at ESP now.
Meals are now served on small styrofoam trays (very small), the portions have been cut down to maybe a quarter of regular, and now we are served only items like hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken patties every day.
Tonight's dinner was one chicken patty, eight french fries and a bun, no desserts or anything. Lunch was two slices of bologna, four slices of bread, and two crackers period. Breakfast was one fried egg, five tater tots, two table spoons of oatmeal and the same of fruit cocktail. This is no way nutritionally adequate compared to a 2000 calorie diet standard set by federal guidelines for dietary standards.

Rail Shuttle Bus Bay 1- a constant, free shuttle bus service operates to/ from the Main Terminal to/ from Luton Airport Parkway Station.
Now there's a hassle free, great value way of getting to and from London Luton Airport. This dedicated airport coach link service runs from Milton Keynes railway station direct to the airport terminal. Conveniently timed to connect with Virgin Trains services to/from the West Midlands and the West, the service runs hourly from early until late, seven days each week. A full range of great value all-inclusive fares are available from all stations across the Virgin Trains network.
Luton airport is located off Junction 10 off the M1. Unfortunately this stretch of the M is nearly always very busy and virtually grid locked early morning and evening and customers should add at least an hour to their journey time. Due to Easyjet passengers are prepared to travel considerable distances to take advantage of low fares and the catchment area for Luton airport has increased substantially. For drivers traveling a long distance we recommend that they bear the following in mind.
1)	Allow plenty of time to get to the car park.
2)	Make use of a RAC or AA route planner.
3)	Make sure there are no major roadworks.
4) Check the weather forecast, heavy rain alone can slow the motorway down to a snail pace.
5)	Take your local map whether parking at luton airport or ourselves.


I've been concentrating on preparing figures for my next game, a Weird War II adventure using ther Savage Worlds system. But i've painted quite a few figures for our Dungeons & Dragons games. Using figures just makes life so much easier for everyone and helps to focus our imagination.
The first figure i'm going to share is my Paladin mounted on his trusty Griffin. I was particularly pleased with how well this came out. I'm not the best painter in the world by a very wide margin, but I enjoy it and like what I produce. I won't win any competitions but the standard I can manage is perfectly fine for a table top game between friends.
For main player characters and big nasty Non Player Characters (especially recurring Nemesis types) I generally prefer good quality figures from Reaper Miniatures or Hasslefree.
However, there a huge number of good miniature makers out there and i'd encourage you to try some of the smaller companies like Crooked Dice Games Studios and anything at all from Foundry Miniatures Fantasy ranges which includes everything from Elves, Knights, Orcs, 2000AD characters and the excellent Street Violence range.
As is usual when preparing figures for a tabletop game, your probably going to spend a lot more time on the player characters than on the poor unfortunate grunts they're going to be beating up. Which is a good thing because you'll probably need a lot of grunts. I've painted loads of Orcs, Dwarves, Humans and Dark Elves for our games and I feel its important that they look good without taking so much time that they're not ready when you need them.
I really like Mantic for the rank & file NPCs, you just get so much for your money. For £20 you can often get up to 30 figures and the quality is very good. Admittedly the range of poses is limited but its never bothered us in our games so far.
Another good place to get large numbers of figures is of course Ebay. I picked up a job lot of Lord of the Rings Orcs and Rohirrim which i've painted in a more Dungeons and Dragons style. Cheap well sculpted figures that fill up your GM's dungeon nicely but don't break the bank.
I suspect this blog is read by me and me alone, but it serves its purpose to remind me of my progress and achievements. If anyone else stumbles over it and gets some enjoyment or inspiration then that's a bonus!
Now you have a new reader other than yourself!
Well your very welcome Jose! Don't be shy about telling me what you would like to see posts about.
