Rebecca Girma, College of Natural Sciences
By Mallory Baker
After graduating with a degree in electrical engineering from college in her native Ethiopia, Rebecca Girma has spent the past two years studying her passion — mathematics — in CSU's College of Natural Sciences. She is receiving her second bachelor's degree this month.
Girma has always loved math, but she recognized that having a math degree in Ethiopia didn't give her many opportunities unless she wanted to go into teaching, a field she didn't see herself pursuing. Soon she realized she loved electrical engineering, but still faced challenges.
"In addition to the education and the difficulty of finding materials, there were many more things I had to deal with, especially being in engineering," Girma says. "Engineering is seen as a more masculine field in general. With maybe five girls in my class, being a female in the field wasn't easy."
Moving to a new continent to take up a new field of study here at CSU wasn't always easy, either.
"The first semester was quite the struggle with adjustments," Girma says. "Especially the food, the food was the hardest. I'm just used to a lot of spices. My hallmates used to really laugh at me because I used so much hot sauce when we would go to the dining halls. They were like, 'They're running out of hot sauce because of you, Rebecca.'"
Overall, however, Girma has thoroughly enjoyed her experience at CSU. She noted that the campus is very student-oriented and provides resources for extra help outside of class, as well as professors who are available to students for further assistance.
Girma also works in the Office of International Programs as a student program coordinator. Serving as a liaison between the office and the nonprofit Fort Collins International Center, she uses her personal experiences to assist international students while they are here.
As a member of the President's Multicultural Student Advisory Committee, she also helps identify concerns and advises CSU President Tony Frank and the administration on opportunities for improvements on issues of diversity and inclusiveness on campus.
Football games will certainly not go down as one of her favorite things to do at CSU, since she still doesn't understand the rules, but International Programs is here to help.
"We have Basketball 101, Football 101 and Tennis 101 for the students, as they may not know the rules to those different sports or have them in their home country," she says. "We try to give new international students a general overview of the rules, and we coordinate with the coaches of the teams to come and talk to us about the rules and how the game is played before going to see a game."
With her experience in math and electrical engineering, Girma plans to become an IT consultant.
"I love being given a problem and working through it, coming up with new ideas and trying them," she said. "They may not always work, but I am persistent."

For so long, global payments have been championed by platforms like Visa, Mastercard and PayPal, who offer seamless, if flawed, payment options for individuals and companies.
In its report, DataLight wrote that while Bitcoin still has fewer users than established payment networks like Visa and Mastercard, these two in particular were established over half a century ago.
Currently, there are about 25 million Bitcoin wallets in the world, per DataLight, while the total number of debit and credit cards in circulation amounts to over 5 billion.
However, according to DataLight, the next few years will bring about advancements in the Bitcoin network that will make the world's most popular digital asset more useful to mainstream consumers.
DataLight also pointed out that Bitcoin offers significantly lower fees on individual transactions conducted. And, the firm pointed out, while Bitcoin has about 10,000 active nodes, the numbers of data centers being managed by Mastercard and Visa are 89 and 119 respectively.
The researchers didn't shy away from the shortcomings of the cryptocurrency, particularly around its rate of transactions processed per second. Currently, Bitcoin can only process seven transactions per second, compared with Visa's 65,000 transactions per second. Scaling solutions like the Lightning Network could be instrumental in Bitcoin's rise.

A: You need a boolean variable to control the exit from a while loop that encloses your code.
While the boolean variable is true you continue your loop reading the user input, processing it and reprinting the menu choices. Setting the boolean variable to false will terminate the loop.
Don't forget to offer an option to terminate the program
Dim runLoop = true
while runLoop
  Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
  Console.WriteLine("1 = option1")
  Console.WriteLine("2 = option2")
  Console.WriteLine("3 = EXIT")
  Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
  Console.Write("Select an option: ")
  opts = Console.ReadLine
  Console.WriteLine("----------------------")
  Select Case opts

Q: Text to column while concatenating select values I would just like to know if there is a simple way of doing a TextToColumns like command where it gets an array and just joins parts of that array down a column.
Example:

Slected TextToColumns string in cell A2: John Doe 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
  Values to be pasted into cell B2: John Doe
  Values to be pasted into cell C2: 1:00 PM
  Values to be pasted into cell D2: 3:00 PM

The code I'm using now is a simple TextToColumns sequence:
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A60").Select
    Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
    TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=False, _
    Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=True, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
    :=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5, 1), Array(6, 1), _
    Array(7, 1))

After the TextToColumns runs I have 3 CONCATENATE formulas to rejoin the values together. I figure there's probably a better way to handle that information

A: Untested:
dim c, arr

for each c in Range("A2:A60").cells
    If Len(c.value) > 0 then
        arr = split(c.value," ")
        c.offset(0, 1).value = arr(0) & " " & arr(1)
        c.offset(0, 2).value = arr(2) & " " & arr(3)
        c.offset(0, 3).value = arr(5) & " " & arr(6)
    End If
next c


What does it mean when it talks of God seeing us when we were being formed and it says "in the darkest part of the earth?
AMP - 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery].
In my opinion, "the darkest part of the earth" does not carry any type of negative connotation. David is just using this metaphor to emphasize the intricate and wondrous development of the fetus in the womb as being done in as inaccessible or unobservable a manner as if it were occurring in the depths of the earth. Even in such a location, we are visible to God, and are not hidden from His knowledge.
I use this verse as a parallel to Genesis 1:2; and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep. Earth relating to the substance that we were created from can suggest that Genesis 1:2; & Psalm 139:15, 16; are both relating to life inside of the womb. "Curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth" can easily be seen as the conception and development of a fetus. This concept is not far-fetched as Jews already understand this and is what Jesus was alluding to in his response to Nicodemus.
John 3:10; Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
To better understand the new birth we should have a good knowledge of what takes place within the womb before birth. We live in a liquid environment, surrounded by water in darkness just as the earth was in the beginning. In the same way that the earth returned to it's former condition during the flood, we must return to the way we were before we were born. The earth that emerged from the deluge was a new heaven and a new earth. Everything from the former earth had passed away. Thus when we emerge from the waters of baptism everything from our former life has passed away and we are new creatures. This may not fit in with what is commonly taught but you only need to read what the scriptures have to say.
My opinion is that the phrase depths of the earth may be metaphorical (euphemistic) or it may reflect a prescientific belief about the origins of the embryo deep beneath the earth's surface. Job 1:21 also closely associates the mother's womb with the earth.

Determine the gallons per minute (GPM) rating for your hydraulic system. Most basic systems will have pumps that move from .5 to 1 gallon per minute. If you have additional equipment or clamps attached to the unit or you have an increased capacity, this may increase or decrease slightly, depending on the tax of these additional pieces.
Note the size and power of the motor in your hydraulic system. The horsepower of the pumping unit will be the primary element that determines the pressure needed for your hydraulic system.
Measure the size of the pump reservoir. This is typically anywhere from 1 to 5 gallons in capacity. The reservoir capacity will not only help you determine the hydraulic pressure needed, but it will also indicate just how long your hydraulic system can work without being depleted.
Review the instruction and owner's manual for your particular hydraulic lift system. These documents have important data about your specific machine's pressure requirements and should be your primary information source for all adjustments to your lift. For instructions, you can also try Autoquip, a major retailer of hydraulic lifts that has a special literature page with manuals in PDF format (see Resources below).
Maintain relief-valve settings. These settings are set by the manufacturer to specific design and code requirements, so adjusting them can destabilize the entire system.
Calculate the compressibility of the fluid you are using. You should always use the specific fluids outlined in the users manual of your hydraulic system for best performance. However, if you find it necessary to use some other fluid, you can use a relatively simply equation to determine the compressibility for your hydraulic system. You can find this equation, along with many other useful equations, in the Precision Fluid Power website glossary (see Resources below).
Don't mistake regular fluid weeping for a leak. If the liquid is pooling at the base of the pump after cleanup, you may have a leak that will affect your hydraulic pressure. However, if there are beads of fluid along working parts, this is likely normal and necessary leeching of the hydraulic fluid as it is used in the pump.
Improper pressure levels can lead to such dangers as burns from the spray of fluid, exposure of hydraulic fluid to the skin and bruises and injuries incurred from loose hydraulic lines.
Never remove or adjust components without releasing the pressure contained within the system.
Hydraulic systems normally work with fluids that are stored under a great deal of pressure. Having the right amount of pressure for hydraulic systems can increase work efficiency and reduce mechanical failure and injury. Luckily you can determine the pressure needed in your hydraulic system relatively easily and in a number of different ways.

Wall Tent eave stake requirements vary depending on how windy the area is where you camp.
Almost any stake is adequate for staking down the walls. The primary purpose of these stakes is to keep the walls down to prevent wind from blowing in under the walls.
Tent stakes in stores for staking out the ropes are inadequate in windy conditions. Some tent companies provide large nails/spikes with their tent. However, in windy conditions these nails/spikes are not adequate.
If you are going to be camping in possibly windy conditions I suggest you use rebar for stakes, 1/2" or 5/8". Rebar can be purchased at a lumber yard and the lumber yard cuts the rebar for you free or at a nominal charge.
Another option for eave stakes is metal concrete stakes. More expensive, but also makes a very good eave stake.
Minimum stake length is 18"-24 ". 12" of the rebar is driven into the ground at a 45 degree angle.
Leave 6-12" above ground. Tie the tent eave ropes to the bottom of the rebar. If you have a fly, tie the fly ropes near the top of the rebar. Tying the fly ropes high on the rebar will provide a gap between the tent and the fly.
If you are in windy conditions I do not recommend a gap between the tent and fly as the wind will get under the fly and cause loud flapping and possibly ruin your fly.
The tent eave ropes and the fly ropes will not come off the rebar because the rebar is driven into the ground at a 45 degree angle away from the tent.


Another month, another solid reading for the overall economy and the manufacturing segment in particular. Today's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) reported by the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) is another meaningful indicator that suggests last week's revised steep drop in reported 1st quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will likely prove to be statistical "noise".
""The past relationship between the PMI® and the overall economy indicates that the average PMI® for January through June (54.0 percent) corresponds to a 3.6 percent increase in real gross domestic product (GDP) on an annualized basis. In addition, if the PMI® for June (55.3 percent) is annualized, it corresponds to a 4.0 percent increase in real GDP annually.
The +3-4% implied GDP growth rates are a far cry from recession or serious economic trouble that some pundits gleaned from last week's rotten GDP report.
Most importantly, the key leading indicator within the PMI report (New Orders) also continues to suggest the expansion has solid underpinnings. The table below contains the details of today's report.
In financial statement analysis at the company level, assessments about the "quality" of earnings reports are common practice. The assessments attempt to render judgment whether companies are "reaching" and doing unsustainable things to match or exceed quarterly earnings forecasts to please and appease investors.
Perhaps the "quality" concept be applied to macroeconomic reports as well. Our belief is that while the pace of economic expansion is slower than most anyone wants, it is high-quality in the following sense. Growth is occurring without—so far–the types of excesses in debt and inflation that can boost growth for a period of time, but ultimately prove unsustainable (or intolerable by policymakers) helping sow the seeds of the next recession.
"High quality" in this context likely means a long business expansion lies yet ahead. This should provide a decent runway for corporate earnings growth and the stock bull market. The domestic manufacturing sector continues its renaissance as new productivity tools enabled by technology proliferate.

Earls Court Gallery
At Earls Court Gallery, we create opportunities for artists to share their voices and unique perspectives. We work hard to break down barriers and open doors when we curate our gallery. Making sure that we convey the artists' message and enable anybody and everybody to appreciate an artwork's full impact.
Earls Court Gallery was established in 1973 by Bob Daniels and Doug Nixon as a print and framing gallery. The location was at 78 George Street in Hamilton's Hess Village. In 1977, the second-floor gallery was opened and featured various printmakers from Open Studio in Toronto (Ann Meredith Barry, Jo Manning, Moira Clarke) and other local artists.
In 1980 we moved to 105 George Street where we continued to represent and exhibit the work of local and Canadian printmakers, like David Blackwood. We also began to exhibit the work of local artists who worked in various mediums such as oil, acrylic, watercolour, and mixed media.
We continued at this location for the next 29 years until September 2009 when we moved into the current and much larger location at 215 Ottawa Street North in Hamilton. This location has a 1600 sq. ft. gallery and a 1000 sq. ft. framing facility. The main gallery space showcases the work of local and Canadian artists. We have approximately 9 exhibitions a year. In January 2013, we added 1,000 sq. ft. of gallery space dedicated to primarily Canadian historically significant works.

Inferno is one of the most detailed accounts of what Hell might feel like. The end results aren't pretty.
The ones who really have it bad are the ones trapped in Hell's Vestibule — The Opportunists. As they never took sides between good and evil in life, so is their fate in death. They're not actually a part of Hell, and they have no chance at redemption. They just have one small place to be tormented for eternity alone by themselves.
The Second Circle, meant for people overcome with lust, dooms its inhabitants to be buffeted about by the terrible winds of a violent storm, never knowing rest. While this isn't a particularly harsh punishment by the poem's standards, the idea of being eternally blown around by such powerful winds is still a pretty terrifying thought.
The Fifth Circle, meant for people who succumbed to anger and sorrow, is filled with inhabitants so controlled by their emotions that they alternate between mindlessly attacking every person around them and hopelessly sinking to the bottom of the Circle's filthy waters. This see-saw of destruction and despair continues for eternity.
The Seventh Circle, appropriately for punishing the violent, has some very brutal punishments.
The first ring is meant for people violent against their proverbial neighbors. It contains the Phlegethon, a river of boiling blood filled with murderers, warmongers, plunderers and tyrants. It gets worse: if somebody rises too high from the river, they get shot by the centaurs patrolling the banks.
The second ring is for people who were violent against themselves. It contains the Wood of the Suicides, a dark, scary forest full of gnarled trees and dangerous thorns. Where are the people? Well, they are the twisted, broken trees. Oh, and they still bleed and feel pain, which is a problem since the trees are constantly being attacked by harpies.
Speaking of the second ring, it also contains the violently profligate. They get eternally chased through the Wood of the Suicides by ferocious hounds, who savagely maul them when they catch them.
The third ring is meant to punish those violent against God, art, and nature. It's a huge, sandy desert where fire constantly rains down from the sky.
The Eighth Circle of Hell, Malebolge, which punishes the fraudulent and malicious. It's probably the closest the poem gets to depicting Fire and Brimstone Hell, and it puts many other similar portrayals to shame.
The Ninth Circle of Hell, meant to punish traitors, is a huge frozen lake called Cocytus. The inmates here are trapped in the lake's ice.
The final part of the Inferno, where the three worst traitors, Judas, Brutus, and Cassius, are being eternally chewed in Satan's three mouths in the very center of hell.
The nightmare fuel doesn't stop when Dante and Vergil leave Hell. When visiting the second terrace of Purgatory, meant for the envious, they see that the souls in it have their eyes sewn shut.

Dopo la riunificazione della Germania (1990), acquisì la cittadinanza tedesca.

Biografia
Gareggiò unicamente per la nazionale tedesca occidentale nella specialità del singolo.

Prese parte a due edizioni dei Giochi olimpici invernali: a  vinse la medaglia d'argento, dopo che le tre slittiniste della Germania Est che la precedevano in classifica vennero squalificate per aver riscaldato i pattini delle proprie slitte, una pratica proibita che rende minore l'attrito delle lame sul ghiaccio, ed a , in quella che fu la sua ultima gara a livello internazionale, giunse in decima posizione.

Prese parte altresì a cinque edizioni dei campionati mondiali, conquistando una medaglia d'argento ed una di bronzo, rispettivamente a Schönau am Königssee 1970 ed a Schönau am Königssee 1969. Nelle rassegne continentali vinse il titolo europeo a Schönau am Königssee 1967 e la medaglia di bronzo ad Hammarstrand 1970.

MV Review: Lucie,Too – EGOIST
Utsunomiya's girls pop band Lucie,Too released in October the music video for the song EGOIST, totally in 90s style. From the dimensions of the screen to the classic outfits and accessories. The members did think of everything to give you the total vibes that fit with the 1990s, including with the after editing of the video which makes the colours look distorted and older. The description the girls give in English was "Every girl needs a life makeover", with a winky face.
In the short mellow song, only 2 minutes and 13 seconds long, the trio shows two different outfits of each member. One moment you see the girls clothed in polka-dot dresses with colourful accessories, and at another moment the girls are clothed plain with a shirt and pants. The kissy lips marks on the face of drummer Naho are made by the singer Chisa, this precise moment has been photographed and is used for the cover of the EP exlover. In both looks, the band members do differently. While in plain clothes, the girls are not that outgoing as in the polka-dot clothing.
The song starts with a fast tempo of the instruments, but gets slower when singer and guitarist Chisa starts to sing. The dulcet tones of her voice make the song sweet like honey, while she is singing about making contact with the other person she has an interest in, while the other isn't aware of it, because it hasn't been made vocal that there is interest. The frustration of this situation can be heard in the voice during the refrain.
EGOIST is one of the songs that can be found on the live-limited EP exlover of the Japanese band. While Lucie,Too is an indie band with a following of more than 9000 on Twitter and Facebook altogether, the music video of EGOIST has been watched more than 250.000 times, which was a reason to celebrate it on their social media.
Rating: 75/100

Morgan comes into her own in The Panther Moon.
Morgan is a wolf shifter and a member of the Wapicoli pack. She is the fabled Seventh Morcant, gifted by the Star People with the sacred Moonstone. The Moonstone allows her to channel blue energy and zap her enemies. Jackson is her future mate and the seventh Wapicoli. As a direct descendant of the Star People it is his destiny to become the White Wolf and Chief of his people. For now, Chief Okema is still in charge and keeps a protective veil over Wapicoli lands so that the wolves are hidden from their many enemies. Except that Okema is missing and the veil is down.
As the novel opens, Okema disappears and the veil over Wapicoli lands goes down. Morgan and Jackson take over as co-chiefs and travel to the hermit Randalf for advice. They are surrounded by enemies both new and old. Eve and her coyotes, Mateo and his band of city panther shifters and the new threat of vampires. They must gather old allies and forge new alliances if the pack hopes to survive. Morgan must also contact the Star People and seek their help in the coming battles.
This is very much a book at the mid-point in a series. It draws on what has come before and also heavily foreshadows what is to come. Though the author doesn't mention it, reading this out of order is incredibly confusing. The novel lacks the summary section at the beginning that many serial books have and without it the reader is thrust directly into the action with assumptions made about their knowledge that aren't necessarily true. The storyline was hard to follow because it was constantly broken up by the insertion of pop culture references that felt forced as they broke the flow of the narrative and added little to the story. Overall, if you start with the first book and enjoy celebrating geek culture this will be your thing.
An ordinary girl is transformed into a superhero.
Verity Chambers lost her eyesight in a car accident when she was twelve. Her parents decided that her sweet sixteen birthday present should be an eye transplant. Verity is at best ambiguous about the idea of become sighted again but her parents throw her into therapy until she learns to see. The trouble starts when she is given not a normal pair of eyes but the eyes of the last veil-seer. The veil-seer is the only one who can pierce the veil between the worlds and see the otherworldly creatures that walk beside mankind. Cassandra appears at the hospital when the bandages are removed and whisks Verity off to Haven.
According to Cass, Haven is a sanctuary for half-breed children who fight the dangerous others. Verity soon learns that all is not as it seems at Haven. She meets Haydn who runs Haven's competition Helm and has a surprisingly similar mission statement. She stays at Haven in spite of Cass' increasing abuses and her own feelings of isolation because she is attracted to Kaydn, Haydn's brother. Things start to fall apart when Verity realizes that Cass and Kaydn are an item. However, she is still willing to stick things out until Kaydn betrays and almost kills her. At that point, Verity asks Haydn to take her home and she tries to go back to her family. Can Verity still have a normal life or will she be forced to go to Helm to protect those she loves?
Johns' book explores how the brain functions. He talks about how we are the result of a blend of natural instinct and nurture. Humans bond with their primary caregiver and this shapes how they interact with others and who they are attracted to later in life. Johns explores the common theory that children develop most of their core identity in the first six years and that abuse within that key time frame can seriously stunt development. He discusses the idea of brain maps and that certain ideas, concepts and feelings are soft wired not hardwired into us. This means that those habits can be changed over time.
While I rarely comment on the layout of books since a good layout should invisibly support the story this layout puts itself forward. The choice of a blue background instead of the more traditional white is odd and never explained. For instance, a children's book about the sun might have a yellow background. The color blue doesn't seem to have a link to the material and so ends up alienating the reader as it constantly separates them from the text.
The table of contents is also strange as it appears to list images and tables instead of chapter headings or perhaps as well as chapter headings. A separate list of illustrations would add clarity here if the author wishes to include that information. HTML 4 is an odd choice for writing a book. The urge to be different and stand out from the crowd is understandable but the wheel is still used today for a reason. Book design is the place where a book should be marketed but an author needs to remember that the primary purpose of a book is to be read and if the layout interferes significantly with that goal than it is time to try something else.
The core material Johns is presenting is not new but he is correct that it is often not presented in a way that is accessible to a lay person. Unfortunately, Johns inserts his marketing ideas into his writing and this creates an authorial voice that talks down to readers. It is important for an author to consider the audience for his book, but they do not need to include this information within the book. They also do not need to explain their voice or word choice. Doing so says that the author lacks faith in their readers and it becomes annoying. All in all, this book has possibilities but as it stands it needs more work.
Liz Jekyll is the Omega wolf-were of pack Beo. An Omega wolf, in Jenny Schwartz' world, is the emotional center of the pack. Liz's grandfather is the leader of the pack and, amid rumors that he will soon designate a replacement, his granddaughter has found herself overrun by beaus. Her most persistent suitor is Brandon Moffat, the only one of the three front-runners who is still single.
Brandon believes Liz's hand in marriage will be the edge that wins him the leadership. Liz isn't interested in marrying Brandon, but is unwilling to hurt his chances by publicly discouraging him. She is also hiding a secret that makes it hard for her to get close to anyone right now.
When Brandon refuses to heed her hints, Liz turns to Carson Erving, an alpha wolf-were and American biologist. Carson has his own secrets that have made him fight his growing attraction to Liz lest he bring her into a dangerous situation. Still, when Liz claims him as her boyfriend, he is all too happy to play along.
Then it is revealed that Liz is harboring Daria Gretsky, the chief witness against human trafficker Andrew Thirkell. Carson, though he is involved in growing gentian, a plant believed to be the key to immortality, puts his plans on hold to protect Liz and ensure Daria is cared for. Once it becomes clear that Liz is a target and one of their own has betrayed the Beo pack, the hunt is on, but will justice or revenge prevail?
Jenny Schwartz writes with a light touch. Her novel is fast paced and the reader comes to know both Carson and Liz. There is also a side story where Albert, the mage who warded Carson and Liz's homes, romances Daria. The antagonist of the story is less well developed, as the reader comes to know him only in broad strokes. He appears to be motivated simply by greed; it would have been nice to gain some more insight into his character. The man gives up a respected position in his community, the support of his peers, and a loving family to become a slave trader. Some insight into his thought process would be nice. Even if his thoughts are something along the line of it's easy money and no one will ever notice, which appears to be how Ms. Schwartz is characterizing him.
A more minor irritant is that the author calls the weres wolf-weres instead of werewolves. She does introduce other types of weres such as leopards in the novel and this appears to be the reason for her odd terminology, but the grammatical inversion is annoying and slows the pace of the novel. This term may also be an attempt to purposefully alienate the reader, in which case it works, but a better way would be to stick with traditional naming schemes. Always make your novel unique in positive ways, such as the Gentian plant that holds the promise of immortality, and the fact that Ms. Schwartz' weres aren't already near immortals.
Moristoun by Kevin McAllion is an introspective look the reasons for suicide. It is a deeply intellectual world. McAllion dissects the modern world and takes an in-depth look at the dark side of consumer culture. The secrets of Moristoun unravel as the novel progresses and the main character James Patrick McSorely is left to decide what meaning he finds in life. The novel looks at the world through a dark and dispirited lens yet the characters still manage to go on.
The novel begins with Moristoun's lawyer Buchan. Buchan is assigned McSorely as a case at and decides to lure him to Moristoun. At the same time, Hogg is on trial for attempted murder. By hiring McSorely to assist in Hogg's case and watch over the newly orphaned Munchkin (a Scottish Deerhound whose owner has passed on) Buchan hopes to bring meaning back into McSorely's life. McSorely becomes fascinated with Hogg's case but he doesn't truly come back to life until he meets Gail at her father's pub the Tortured Soul. Attracting Gail's attention motivates McSorely to try reading and to attempt to win Hogg's case. Sadly, Hogg's case is hopeless and McSorely cannot bring himself to finish Gail's favorite book. When he enters the jail to speak to Hogg after sentencing in one last attempt to be the hero McSorely is told the secret of Moristoun. Will he destroy Gail in his attempt to live happily ever after or will Buchan reach the in time?
Moristoun is an incredibly thought provoking book. While for the most part it offers a bleak look at our consumer driven, technology-laden society it also offers hope. The message is as long as you stay in the game, stay alive, some good can still come your way. Gail acts as a beacon of light in the despair that consumes Moristoun. She knows what the world is like but she is still eager to get out and be a part of it. Moristoun is well written though it tends to have a highly intellectual tone that talks down to those how don't understand it. Less dense language would make the novel more approachable to a wider audience. The novel does preach at times but avoids organized religion in favor of a more spiritual view. Overall an interesting take on what happens to those who commit suicide. Reminiscent of the movie Wristcutters: A Love Story.

Herald Our Humanity By Paulyne Pogorelske
Date: January 13, 2011Author: Paulyne Pogorelske 0 Comments
A few years ago, I watched the most horrifying and depressing movie I have ever seen. Called OSAMA not as in bin Laden, but rather, Osama is the name of a 13-year-old girl living in Kabul in Afghanistan when the Taliban powered over the city. The only child of a struggling, impoverished single mother who was forbidden by an insane law to work because of her gender, the teenage Osama, also a victim of the female ban on employment, decides to adopt the guise of a young boy in order to obtain work to buy food and fend off starvation (their poverty is palpable). As a boy, Osama finds employment in a bakery, but the Taliban uncovers her ploy and what then ensues is truly horrific. She is hung upside down by her arms for days in the street for all to see and after being tortured in even more evil and perverse ways, the final, sadistic cruelty has her imprisoned in the domestic environs of a Taliban senior, a haggard, grey haired monster aged in his 70s, or even older, where she is forced into slavery as his domiciled sexual plaything. Often at the movies, I shed tears, sometimes in joy, other times in sadness, but during OSAMA, I just sat stock still, totally shocked into an almost dehumanized demeanour as the depravity and disturbed iniquities of the Taliban unfolded before my eyes. As I walked out of the cinema, my mute numbness was transcended by a burst of hysterics, a flood of tears washing down my face as I confronted this was no celluloid fiction, but a narrative all too real and frightening. Our world had gone really mad.
Nearly ten years ago, Western allies walked into Afghanistan to wage war against the Taliban. They are still there, (some countries such as The Netherlands have pulled out) and while many soldiers have died and some US military personnel denounce the Kazai Government as corrupt (what are we fighting for?) and a few tribal warlords masquerade as friends when they are really in support of the Taliban, international debate rages over an unwinnable war (so why are we there?) Certainly, I'm as horrified at the inhumanity (or call it insanity!) of man to man that is the tragic reality of war as I was by the movie; the mounting death toll of bloody murder and the painful, crippling injuries of both mind and body to the soldiers and many civilians as the torment of the fight against the Taliban only intensifies. During my adolescence, I took to the streets against Australia's presence in Vietnam; it was a civil war where our troops had no place, but as far as Afghanistan is concerned, I feel very differently. The haunting visage of Osama and all females living under the rule of the Taliban are prisoners in their own country and the war there is not just a war for power and control of the country to establish democracy and freedom (it's all relative!), but for me, it's a war for humanity; a quest for all human beings in Afghanistan to live without fear, without persecution, without oppression and without the enormity of Taliban insanity. It is a conflict for the courageous defenders of our humanness, the hearts and minds that make all Afghanis real human beings, lest their country sink into an abyss of abject misery and madness for decades ahead. Yes, we can truly lament the loss of life, but what is the price of being human? And do we in the West and particularly in Australia, abrogate our responsibility to those in other countries forsaking our own humanity simply because Afghanistan doesn't seem to matter in the safety of our suburban wonderland. Why should our young men and women soldiers die fighting in a war where victory seems more and more unlikely every day and where suspicion and distrust of government and civilians alike renders the cause as hopeless?
For many months, I've argued with myself about the validity of this war as the covert corruption and wholesale slaughter of our troops splashes across our TV screens, but I have also been unable to shake OSAMA from my psyche. Whenever I read or see the latest immoral or iniquitous happening in the country, I recoil in horror, in sadness and sometimes, in tears, but I embrace a reality that dictates we DO have an international responsibility to other human beings when the essence of that very humanity is threatened, no matter where people are. Certainly, as a Jew, I will never forget that the British waged war against Hitler; fighting for a world where people could live as real human beings with dignity, respect and free of totalitarian authority. (While the war against Hitler was not an act of altruism for the Jews, the fact that many Jews survived was a fortunate by-product of the war). Without that war, I wouldn't exist and while all wars are horrific and insane (I'm still a peacenik in spirit), reality sometimes makes them inevitable when rational dialogue is buried under a mountain of megalomania. And OSAMA is as etched in my mind as much as the Holocaust. Of course, life is precious, but ignorance or disinterest about the heinous crimes of the Taliban is no justification for apathy. Doing nothing is tantamount to complicit endorsement of its madness.
And while survival in the war ravaged country is tough at the very least, staying alive is only a beginning; a good quality of life is paramount in the people's need to be fully realized human beings, they need to have safe shelter, healthy food and security of love and care, the best education for both girls and boys, high standard medical attention and of course, decent employment to ensure they can meet the costs of looking after their families and themselves. And all of this rests on a premise of peace, of freedom, of a new kind of morality that destroys all credibility of the Taliban and the carnage it wreaks. A Utopian ideal? Maybe, but where would we be in The West without the idealistic and valiant pioneers who struggled so defiantly and endlessly for democracy and freedom and for equality of opportunity for all females? It might be passé now to think of Australia as The Lucky Country as Donald Horne penned in the 1960s, but as a female who grew up with a great education (despite my family struggling financially) and employment (even tho' it was sometimes less than what I really deserved), I only have to remind myself about OSAMA to realize we are overwhelmingly still, a Very Lucky Country. (No country is perfect!) And we have a duty, a moral right to ensure other human beings around the world must have every chance to live as we do. I thank all the military personnel engaged in the conflict; those who risk their lives every day to usher in a new regime of prosperity and peace; it's without doubt, a long and winding road as they toil at destroying the Taliban, but as the pubescent image of Osama will always remind me, I can only hope that the war is indeed a victory for humanity with all its riches and spoils.

Interview #45 — The Vox of which populi?
October 12, 2020 October 9, 2020 Leave a comment
In this interview with Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte we talk about Vox, the end of Spanish exceptionalism, and the turbulent changes in the Spanish political landscape. While several aspects of Vox seem to fall neatly in the populist far right category as we see it across Europe, other aspects are rather peculiar. In particular, while immigration does not seem to explain much of the vote for Vox, the Catalan issue and Spanish nationalism deeply define the motivations of Vox's voters.
The picture above was taken in Lisbon, Portugal, and shows a poster of Chega, a populist far right party similar in many aspects to Vox. Chega obtained one seat in the Portuguese parliament in 2019, thus shaking Portuguese exceptionalism. The party's leader, André Ventura, in the poster is conveying the following message: "Of the storms we'll make hope. For Portugal, for Portuguese people". The poster has been modified and now reads: "For Portugal, for everyone".
Populism in Power: Law & Justice vs liberal democracy
What happens to a country when a populist party rules? What happens to liberal democracy when the populist idea of power is implemented? Bartek Pytlas illustrates the case of Poland to answer these questions, and examines the rhetoric toolbox used by the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) in order to control the state media, the Constitutional Court, and to fight against the European institutions.
We're all supposed to be praising Beata Szydło for the grace with which she has accepted her defenestration, but I remember her disgusting exploitation of terrorist attacks in the UK to argue in favour of her government's domestic policies. Not easy to forget.
— Ben Stanley (@BDStanley) 8 dicembre 2017
As well as Orbán in Hungary, the PiS government is undermining checks and balances, minority protections, and in general all the mechanisms that make liberal democracy *liberal*. All of this, while being part of the European Union (the same that five years ago won the Nobel prize for peace) and going against all its most important principles.

Interview #13 with Benjamin Moffitt – Populism "Asian" Style
January 18, 2017 July 13, 2017 2 Comments
Street Art From Japan
There's people in this country who are sick and tired. Tired of hearing all the rhetoric, tired of Washington failing us while they pat their own backs. Finally someone comes along who says what he feels. That's why people like him: because say what you want, at least he doesn't sound like another politician. [1]
In this interview, Benjamin Moffitt describes his approach to populism as a political style, and offers a crucial overview about differences and similarities between Asian and European populism. Benjamin Moffitt is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Government, Uppsala University, and an Associate of the Sydney Democracy Network. He is the author of 'The Global Rise of Populism: Performance, Political Style, and Representation' (Stanford University Press, 2016).

(Cambridge University Press, 2012) as well as the co-editor, with Juan Pablo Luna, of The Resilience of the Latin American Right (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014). His new book Populism: A Very Short Introduction, written together with Cas Mudde, will be published by Oxford University Press in February 2017.
The interview is very dense and full of insights about populism in Latin America and beyond, opportunity structures, political actors and parties, similarities with Europe, and peculiarities of the Chilean case. Enjoy the reading. Continue reading →

Half a gram of coke in one line

Life of a coke dealer

Early Life And Background
I took hits of marijuana approximately 68 days ago. WFH IS less productive: One in four bosses claim staff working from home are less useful than when in the That means that the time required for cocaine levels to decrease by half in the body is somewhere around 60 minutes.
I was racing toward the poorhouse at breakneck speed. I have used one gram of coke this past Friday the 15th. Within that time period, there's usually one day where a couple friends join in and we rail through quite a bit of the pile.
Shutting down labs a day nationwide isn't going to make a dent, and locking up every meth user is a costly waste of time. My real job couldn't be blamed: following in my father's footsteps as an insurance adjuster, I had worked my way up to managing the claims department at a big grocery chain. I also observed first-hand how prolonged meth use ravages the body, particularly teeth. How long till i can breast feed my 25 day old baby again?

Kevin Hart Suffered Multiple Spinal Fractures In Labor Day Crash
September 10, 2019 Humor
Kevin Hart was involved in a major car crash on Labor Day, riding as a passenger in an old Plymouth Barracuda with two other people that somehow went off the road and ended up in a ditch. Now, TMZ has collected some new details on the crash, and it sounds like Hart's injuries might be even more extensive than initial reports suggested. According to unnamed sources, naturally, Hart suffered multiple spinal fractures in the crash, and while an initial surgery to fuse two of them was a success, TMZ's very dramatic report notes that he's still "going through hell" and has been "heavily medicated" to deal with the pain. He is still expected to make a full recovery, but it could take "several weeks—if not months," so it stands to reason that some of his upcoming projects will probably be impacted (though nothing has been officially announced).
Meanwhile, TMZ's search for any, you know, TMZ-friendly angles to the crash has apparently come up empty: The site's sources say that Hart had spent the day with his wife at home, and he and the other two people in the car had not been on a "wild night out on the town at a bar or restaurant" before the crash.
The driver, Jared Black, apparently suffered similar injuries to Hart, but his current condition has not been confirmed.

All base ten decimal numbers converted to 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point
How to convert numbers from the decimal system (base ten) to 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point standard
Follow the steps below to convert a base 10 decimal number to 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point:
2. First convert the integer part. Divide repeatedly by 2 the positive representation of the integer number that is to be converted to binary, until we get a quotient that is equal to zero, keeping track of each remainder.
3. Construct the base 2 representation of the positive integer part of the number, by taking all the remainders from the previous operations, starting from the bottom of the list constructed above. Thus, the last remainder of the divisions becomes the first symbol (the leftmost) of the base two number, while the first remainder becomes the last symbol (the rightmost).
5. Construct the base 2 representation of the fractional part of the number, by taking all the integer parts of the multiplying operations, starting from the top of the list constructed above (they should appear in the binary representation, from left to right, in the order they have been calculated).
6. Normalize the binary representation of the number, shifting the decimal mark (the decimal point) "n" positions either to the left, or to the right, so that only one non zero digit remains to the left of the decimal mark.
7. Adjust the exponent in 11 bit excess/bias notation and then convert it from decimal (base 10) to 11 bit binary, by using the same technique of repeatedly dividing by 2, as shown above:
Exponent (adjusted) = Exponent (unadjusted) + 2(11-1) - 1
8. Normalize mantissa, remove the leading (leftmost) bit, since it's allways '1' (and the decimal mark, if the case) and adjust its length to 52 bits, either by removing the excess bits from the right (losing precision...) or by adding extra bits set on '0' to the right.
Example: convert the negative number -31.640 215 from the decimal system (base ten) to 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point:
|-31.640 215| = 31.640 215
4. Then, convert the fractional part, 0.640 215. Multiply repeatedly by 2, keeping track of each integer part of the results, until we get a fractional part that is equal to zero:
1) 0.640 215 × 2 = 1 + 0.280 43;
2) 0.280 43 × 2 = 0 + 0.560 86;
10) 0.790 08 × 2 = 1 + 0.580 16;
0.640 215(10) = 0.1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100 1010 0(2)
31.640 215(10) = 1 1111.1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100 1010 0(2)
7. Normalize the binary representation of the number, shifting the decimal mark 4 positions to the left so that only one non-zero digit stays to the left of the decimal mark:
31.640 215(10) =
1 1111.1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100 1010 0(2) =
1 1111.1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100 1010 0(2) × 20 =
1.1111 1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100 1010 0(2) × 24
8. Up to this moment, there are the following elements that would feed into the 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation:
Mantissa (not-normalized): 1.1111 1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100 1010 0
9. Adjust the exponent in 11 bit excess/bias notation and then convert it from decimal (base 10) to 11 bit binary (base 2), by using the same technique of repeatedly dividing it by 2, as shown above:
Exponent (adjusted) = Exponent (unadjusted) + 2(11-1) - 1 = (4 + 1023)(10) = 1027(10) =
100 0000 0011(2)
10. Normalize mantissa, remove the leading (leftmost) bit, since it's allways '1' (and the decimal sign) and adjust its length to 52 bits, by removing the excess bits, from the right (losing precision...):
Mantissa (normalized): 1111 1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100
Exponent (8 bits) = 100 0000 0011
Mantissa (52 bits) = 1111 1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100
Number -31.640 215, converted from decimal system (base 10) to 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point =
1 - 100 0000 0011 - 1111 1010 0011 1110 0101 0010 0001 0101 0111 0110 1000 1001 1100

The King's Affection revolves around the royal twins, born of the Crown Princess Consort. As twins are usually taken as a bad omen, the princess is sent out of the palace to save her from death. When the prince dies a few years later, the princess (Eun Bin) starts living as Prince Lee Hwi. Things get complicated when she starts falling for Jung Ji Woon (Rowoon), her teacher.
Cosmo girl,
Park Eun Bin,

do you like brahms,
hello my twenties,
k-entertaiment,
k-dramas,


Consider this your city guide.
When she filmed The Vampire Diaries in the Georgia capital, the star of this month's The Final Girls couldn't resist the city's Southern charms.
Octane Coffee was what I would have every day before work.
The brunch at Superica was awesome. Another spot is Parish, with New Orleans-style food in an antiquated farmhouse setting.
Paris on Ponce is filled with eclectic antiques and home decor items.
Sugarboo & Co. has unique jewelry, cool flasks, and wineglasses.
Ormsby's is a bar with fun games. I'm a kid stuck in an adult's body!
The Plaza Theatre is a historic gem, dedicated to independent, foreign, and art-house movies as well as cult classics.
The BeltLine is a 22-mile loop. I loved running from my house up the BeltLine to Piedmont Park.
Atlanta Hot Yoga. I'm a big yogi.
The Krog Bar. A really great atmosphere if you want to go somewhere and not be bothered.
I "make" my best friend, Riawna Capri visit to hang out and cut my hair. She co-owns the incredible L.A. salon Nine Zero One.
Kimball House in Decatur. Vintage-y vibe with a handsome bar for oysters and cocktails.
St. Cecilia is classy and close to everything. The decor is inviting, clean, and modern.
Thai food from Surin. Super yummy, casual, and authentic. I've been to Thailand so that's saying a lot!
R. Thomas Deluxe Grill. All-organic food joint open 24 hours, which is great for a night shoot! And they have talking parrots that just hang around the restaurant.
YEAH! Burger—amazing amazing amazing. Organic grass-fed meat, bun (or gluten-free bun!) They also have gluten-free French fries or truffle French fries. This place is the bomb! My favorite pizza spot is Ammazza, out of this world flavor. Love this joint.
Starlight Six Drive-In is one of the last drive-in movie theaters in the country. It's a fun experience!
The 1920s Fox Theatre is my favorite place to go see a show, whether it's a Broadway play or an Ellie Goulding concert. My favorite thing is the ceiling, which features animated clouds and stars that make you feel like you are outside!
Eddie's Attic, a great, intimate venue. I've been introduced to some amazing talent on open mic nights.
MJQ. NOT a "club" atmosphere with booths/bottle services, but an underground dance spot only open on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room & Ping Pong Emporium. The decor is interesting to say the least. Not a place for those easily offended.
A version of this article appears in the October issue of Marie Claire, on newsstands now.

I have been asked to make some of the demo files available for the web cast I did this week ( click here ). I have placed some of the files in a OneDrive folder here : click here to view. There are three demos, and they all involve linking Visio shapes to data. I have also provided the sample AutoCAD R2013 file, which can now be inserted into Visio Pro for Office 365 documents.
In the Site Plan example, the visibility event shapes are toggled off/on according to the Day selected in the page Shape Data. The above animated gif was recorded using the following macro.
I then use SnagIt from TechSmith ( https://www.techsmith.com/ ) to record the Visio page, and save as an animated gif.


Immediately after deploying Skype, its CEO defended their decision to use a proprietary system rather than use the SIP standard. He was widely quoted as having dismissed the SIP option to be inferior. This has sprung up in Skype Forum. Muppetmaster informs us that one of the Skype configurable parameters is labeled SipServers and an item under it is called DirectlyConnected. He goes on to suggest that this is evidence that Skype client runs SIP when it wants to interconnect to PSTN. A few days back DGLewis raised this same point. In that context I commented that there are operational benefits in Skype client following the same procedure independent of whether the call terminates at PSTN or not. This entry does not revisit that issue, but explores why Skype may not be satisfied with SIP and concludes that SIP can easily accommodate these requirements.
A communications protocol needs to identify the end-points involved in the session, specify the mode and format of the communication and finally identify any network resources it may want to use during the session. All protocols do these in one form or another. Q.931 of ISDN and H.323 are competent in this respect, contradicting the widely held belief. SIP does these as well. So what are missing from SIP (or for that matter H.323) that Skype would need. I can think of two things.
The first one is these protocols use UDP to transport the media packets, but many firewalls block UDP traffic. In these cases, unlike the standard protocols, Skype uses TCP in these cases. This is counter to the established security policies and hence it is not advisable that standard protocols be extended to use this scheme.
The second one involves NAT traversal. The standard scheme is to use Session Border Controllers and use UDP Hole Punching for optimization purposes. The two standard protocols use one set of port(s) to carry the signaling information and other port(s) to carry media. Because of this, the optimization scheme does not work if even one of the end-points is behind an asymmetric NAT. On the other hand, if the media port can receive limited signaling information then we can devise a method by which the optimization procedure will work as long as both the end points are not behind asymmetric NATs. Interestingly, according to Baset and Schulzrinne, Skype does not use this scheme.
So it is not clear what Skype achieves by using a non-standard signaling protocol.
Maybe there's a division here between "SIP the abstract protocol" and "SIP the API implementation reality". The problem Skype has is that everything is so dynamic and unstable in its environment; all the proxies can come and go, timeouts might take forever, nodes may partially fail. So perhaps to be able to set up a call and keep it up they've had to re-implement the same basic concepts, but also optimise it to take account of the rotten network environment. Cached data might be passed up and down chains of proxies and supernodes, multiple responses/options ("he could be here, here or here") included where standard SIP might only offer one, etc.
This is just a SWAG based on my Oracle experience and I have zero evidence.
What if the whole thing was deleberatly done for misleading the user?
How can you say to have an innovative technology and then using what all others used since long?
In principle Free World Dial up was there much before them and so VoIP.
I do not think they invented the hot water, they just used it in a most clever way and built a very good market product out of it.
How long it will last that has still to be seen as how much revenue it will produce.
Pursuing your line of thought, data exchanges between proxies and supernodes could have been done outside of SIP (after all SIP is "immensely extendable"). Also, won't forking have handled the scenario you are alluding to in your comment? My puzzle is given that under normal conditions Skype provides directory service and assists in NAT traversal, why SIP is not sufficient. IF I want to replicate Skype, then I need to understand this.
They are probably misleading the industry players and not users, for users are getting the service they were promised. Even though FWD and other VoIP players have preceeded Skype, we must recognize that Skype is the first one to use wideband codec. All the others were busy imitating POTS (not just PSTN) both in the technical architecture and in their business models. I agree with the uncertain economic viability; but then it is true for all VoIP service providers.
