A plethora of new tracks to excite your eardrums this week, including the return of some veterans. Let's kick off with Ash:
Ash – Buzzkill
Now boys and girls, there's nothing big or clever about swearing – but Tim Wheeler swears brilliantly in this first taster of his band's new album Islands, out in May. This throwaway punky track is far more vital than what's coming out of the serious, chin-stroking artists these days. Welcome back, Ash
John Prine – Summer's End
We've long been fans of John Prine here at RockYouLike. This is the lead single from John's first album of new material in 13 years. Suffice to say, his talent has dimmed not a jot, and we can't wait for the release of The Tree Of Forgiveness in April
The Cars – Drive (demo)
News came through last week that the always brilliant Rhino Records will reissue The Cars' 1981 album Shake It Up and it's 1984 follow-up Heartbeat City as expanded editions on both CD and Vinyl. They've already made available a demo version of the latter album's 'Drive':
A Perfect Circle – Talk Talk
Along with this, the third new track from A Perfect Circle in as many months, came the title and release date of their first album since 2004. Eat The Elephant will be in stores on April 20th
New Album Of The Week:
MGMT – Little Dark Age
RockYouLike loved Ben and Andrew's last album, 2013's MGMT. It didn't do well commercially, and it's taken almost 5 years for the follow-up to reach us. Little Dark Age is a joy from start to finish, our favouorite tracks being 'James', 'When You're Small', and 'When You Die'
Reissue Of The Week:
Ramones – Ramones
If, for reasons best known to yourself, you've not got this album in your collection, you've no excuse now, as Rhino have just reissued it on vinyl. You need hide from the world no longer, redemption is near.

The model rolled out from all three facilities is the Mahindra XUV500.
Mahindra & Mahindra has added a new milestone with the production of the one millionth vehicle at its Chakan, Haridwar and Zaheerabad plants. The model rolled out from all three facilities is the Mahindra XUV500. The company's Nashik and Kandivali plants have already crossed the 1 million production milestone.
Speaking on the significant milestone, Rajan Wadhera, President – Automotive Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, "This achievement is a significant moment in Mahindra's automotive journey. It tangibly demonstrates our spirit of accepting no limits and the relentless effort put in by each of our people across the three manufacturing facilities. We are committed to the Make-in-India initiative and this millionth vehicle roll-out across three different facilities is a fine example of our manufacturing excellence and operational efficiency."
Established in 1985, Mahindra's Zaheerbad facility had achieved 1 lakh production mark in 2005, followed by 5 lakh units in 2013. The Haridwar based plant, on the other hand, was setup in 2005 and operations were commenced in early 2006. While the first 5 lakh units were produced in the first 8 years, the next 5 lakh were manufactured in 5 years. Currently, this facility serves as production hub for 4 models.

Frontier Airlines Kicks Off Large Round Of Expansion From Orlando
Monday marked the start of a big month for Frontier Airlines in Orlando. With 13 new routes starting this month, seven of which launched on Monday and Tuesday, the airline will be building up to offer the most nonstop routes of any airline in Orlando and connect leisure travelers from more destinations to the famous Florida city ahead of the busy winter holiday season.

Frontier is launching 12 new routes this week
From Monday, Movember 1st, through Saturday, November 6th, Frontier Airlines is adding 12 new nonstop routes to its route network out of Orlando International Airport (MCO). Five of these routes launched on Monday:
Fort Myers, Florida (RSW), with daily flights
Harlingen, Texas (HRL), with twice-weekly flights
Pensacola, Florida (PNS), with thrice-weekly flights
Sioux Falls, South Dakota (FSD), with twice-weekly flights
Bentonville, Arkansas (XNA), with twice-weekly flights
Two more routes launched on Tuesday:
Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ), with thrice-weekly flights
Nassau, The Bahamas (NAS), with four weekly flights
The airline will launch nonstop service to El Paso, Texas (ELP) on Wednesday with twice-weekly flights. Then, on Thursday, three more routes will start:
Cedar Rapids, Iowa (CID), with twice-weekly flights
Fargo, North Dakota (FAR), with twice-weekly flights
San Salvador, El Salvador (SAL), with twice-weekly flights
Finally, the 12th route to launch this week from Orlando will start on November 6th. Frontier will launch Saturday-only flights to Cozumel, Mexico (CZM).

The 13th new route out of Orlando will launch on November 11th. Frontier will start twice-weekly flights to Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) from then. This is not the last of growth in Orlando this year. In December, Frontier will go on to launch three additional routes to Antigua & Barbuda (ANU), Belize City (BZE), and the Turks and Caicos (PLS) from December 4th, 11th, and 18th, respectively. All of these three routes will fly once a week on Saturdays.

Building out from a leisure hub
Orlando is best known as a major leisure gateway for Americans. Home to Disney World, a Universal Resort, Seaworld, and more, the city attracts leisure travelers from across the country. These customers are the most important ones for Frontier, and it has oriented a large part of its network to cater to their needs.
The routes to Sioux Falls, Cedar Rapids, and Fargo, among others, are examples of that. As winter-weary families plan their vacations, Orlando is usually a top destination, thanks to all the attractions and warm weather. These are smaller origination markets, so Frontier orients its network around peak-day flying a few times per week.

Orlando is also an origination market, with a population of over 2.6 million people in the metro area. As a result, Frontier is also targeting routes that some of those customers want to go to, like Montego Bay and Cozumel. It will sell connections if the connections work out, but it does not set up its network on a bank structure for hub-and-spoke style operations.
Orlando gets even more competitive
Orlando continues to get competitive from a low-cost perspective. Spirit Airlines has also been steadily growing at MCO, and it has added a few new routes from Orlando. Next year, it will also launch a new flight to Puerto Rico that will also target connecting travelers – something Frontier does not do.

Frontier has historically targeted communities that other airlines are not serving, which will help it succeed in a competitive environment. As an ultra-low-cost carrier, Frontier offers an unbundled product to budget-conscious leisure travelers. All of its aircraft are in an all-economy configuration. It has an all-Airbus fleet, and, through its competitive cost structure, it is able to do plenty of fare stimulation to fill some seats that may otherwise go empty. This is advantageous in a market like Orlando, but the real testament will be how these routes work out.

A stranger sneezes in my direction. I hold my breath and only breathe when I judge the germs have gone, just like my compassion.


I am considering separating from my spouse/partner, how should we deal with arrangements for the children?
Don't rush into anything; if possible, try to have a calm conversation with your spouse or partner, preferably in a neutral environment and away from the children so that you can discuss any necessary interim arrangements and how to move forward in the longer term.
Each family is unique and it is important that you both continue to communicate to allow you to make arrangements for the children which suit your family.
Remember that even if you cannot continue to be a couple, you will always be your children's parents and they need to be reassured that this will not affect their relationship with both of you. Of course a separation will involve upheaval for everyone, but let your children see that you will both continue to be there to love and support them and that nothing will change that.
Usually it is fairly obvious which parent is in a better position to be the primary carer for the children and so the discussions tend to be more concerned with arrangements for the children to see the other parent. Although there are no set rules which govern how much time children should spend with the parent they do not live with, a typical arrangement is for them to spend alternate weekends with him or her and possibly one evening or night during the week. School holidays are often shared equally, if work permits. Obviously a degree of fl exibility in the arrangements is desirable to allow for work and other commitments. Try to agree how school parents' evenings, plays, sports days etc. will be dealt with as these events can cause children real concern if they fear that there may be an uncomfortable atmosphere.
At all costs, do not use children as pawns or weapons in adult disagreements; they need to be protected from these, not dragged into them.
If you find it difficult to talk to your partner or if you know that there will inevitably be a disagreement over child arrangements, don't worry as help is available. Solicitors who specialise in family law don't just give legal advice; they should be able to put you in touch with counsellors who can provide support, some of whom will even talk to the children to gain an insight into their feelings and wishes. There are also courses available which offer practical support and advice to separating parents.

U.S. stocks closed sharply lower Monday, weighed by a renewed decline in oil prices, as investors awaited key inputs on the pace of economic growth. A swath of major earnings reports, data and the Federal Reserve's statement are all due later in the week. ( Tweet This ) The major averages ended near session lows, as crude oil futures extended losses to trade below $30 a barrel.

Staying at the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Hotel on Mo'orea before the 2 km, 5 km or 10 km ocean swims at the Tahiti Swimming Experience was an incredible experience.
The food was excellent as can be expected at a 5-star hotel. The service and friendliness of the staff was also of world-class quality.
But for open water swimmers, relaxing and sleeping in very well-kept bungalows perched only a few meters above a turquoise-colored lagoon with a reef on the island of Mo'orea is a wonderful experience.
The ambiance of a tranquil ocean, the view of the deep green mountains in the background, the sounds of the birds, and the amenities of each room and the entire hotel was beyond anything that most swimmers have experienced.
At night, the open water swimmers including world champion Aurélie Muller, French star Logan Fontaine and Olympic bronze medalist Marc-Antoine Olivier enjoyed a social function with the local ocean swimmers followed by a full-course meal when celebrated French Olympic coaches Philippe Lucas (2017 FINA Open Water Swimming Coach of the Year, coach of 5 Olympic medalists, 20 world championship medalists, 49 European championship medalists and 7 world record holders), and Stéphane Lecat (10-time world open water champion, French National Team Open Water Program Director, and 2018 recipient of the Irving Davids/Captain Roger W. Wheeler Memorial Award) shared stories of tough workout sessions, dramatic international races, and unknown comeback stories.
On the morning before the races, a full banquet of foods from coconuts and breads to eggs and tropical fruits were spread out for the swimmers to enjoy.
The Internet connection was excellent with routers in each room, but the individual balconies that enabled the swimmers to enter and exit the warm ocean from their own individual rooms and the individual saunas in each bungalow really were impressive.
There may be no other better, more appropriate location for a relaxing night before a warm-water tropical marathon swim. The ambiance is perfect, especially in the company of an international group of swimmers.
Saison 3 of the 2019 Tahiti Swimming Experience will include a 20 km cross-channel ocean swim between Ta'apuna on Tahiti and Plage de Tema'e on Mo'orea in October 2019.

The Bitcoin Network

So we've been talking about the ability for participants to publish their
transactions and get it into the blockchain, as if this happens by magic.
Of course it doesn't happen by magic in the real world,
it happens through the Bitcoin network.
So what is a Bitcoin network?
It's a peer-to-peer network, so it inherits a lot of ideas from peer-to=peer
networks that have been proposed for all sorts of other purposes.
It's a peer-to-peer network where all nodes are equal.
There's no hierarchy, there's no centralized, special nodes,
no master nodes.
Every node on Bitcoin is an equal peer.
It runs over TCP, it has a random topology, so
there's random nodes are peered with random other nodes.
And new nodes can come at any time.
So you can download the Bitcoin client today,
you can spin your computer up as an node, and you will be a participating Bitcoin
node with equal rights and capabilities as every other node on the Bitcoin network.
Now the network is very dynamic.
It changes over time.
Nodes are coming and going all the time.
Although there's actually no explicit way to leave the network,
instead if you don't hear from a node in awhile, three hours is the amount that's
hardcoded into the common clients, people eventually start to forget you.
So it gracefully handles nodes going offline.
So what does that mean,
that you can simply join the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network at any time?
Well, if this a picture of the network at one moment in time,
obviously scaled down quite a bit with just seven nodes, but this is a picture of
what it might look like, seven nodes, with all random connections to each other.
And notice that the numbers are scattered around here
cuz there's no geographic topology here.
Networks connect other nodes in a random fashion by design.
Now if you launch a new node and say you wanna join the network,
you start with a simple message to one node that you know about.
So all you need to know is how to get to one node that's already on the network,
this is usually called your seed node, and there's a few different ways you can
look up lists of seed nodes to try connecting to.
But you find your seed node, and
you send a special message, saying, tell me all the peers that you have.
Tell me the addresses of all the other nodes in the network that you know about.
And that node will respond and say, well,
I'm peered with nodes one and seven, you can try them.
And then you might go and talk to one and seven and say, hey,
tell me everybody on the network that you know about.
And they'll send you the nodes that they know about, and you can iterate
as many times as you want until you have a list of peers to make connections with.
And then, you can choose which ones to peer with and
you'll be a fully functioning member out of the Bitcoin network.
And again, there's a few steps of randomness here, so, depending on which
seed nodes you used or which of the peers of the seed node you decided to go and
talk to, you'll end up with a random set of nodes that you're connected to.
But that's perfectly fine.
So now that you're a member of the network, what is the network good for?
Well the network maintains the blockchain, so if you want to publish a transaction,
you want to get the entire network to hear about it.
And there's a simple flooding algorithm to make this happen.
So let's say that node four here hears about new transaction, so
Alice wants to pay Bob some money, Alice creates a Bitcoin transaction and
submits it to node four.
Or maybe her wallet software or her exchange does that on her behalf, but
somehow this transaction gets to node four.
Now node four says, great, I've got a new transaction, Alice wants to pay Bob.
Let's tell everybody about it,
sometimes this is called a gossip protocol because it's very simple.
If you have news you try to tell as many people as you can, and
they try to tell as many people as they can.
Much like people gossiping in the real world.
Great, so node four is gonna talk to its neighbors, node three and node two.
And say hey, check out this new transaction.
Alice wants to pay Bob.
And those nodes will add it to their own pool of pending transactions,
so each node maintains a list of all the transactions they've heard about that
haven't been put into the blockchain yet.
And then they can decide to forward that on to other nodes.
So three is gonna talk to its neighbors, and say new transaction for you.
That'll end up in their transaction pools, and so on.
And we wanna make sure that this process doesn't go on forever.
So let's say that node two comes along later and tries to tell node seven, hey,
new transaction, Alice wants to pay Bob.
Node seven is gonna say, that's all right, node two,
I've already heard about that, already got in my memory.
I don't need to forward it further.
So eventually, this thing has to stop because every node will
have heard about the new transaction and they won't forward it anymore.
And remember every transaction is identified uniquely by its hash, so
each node can tell they've seen that hash before and that they don't need to
keep forwarding that transaction so it won't loop around the network forever.
So how do nodes decide when they hear about a new transaction whether or
not they should propagate it?
The most important thing they do is they check to see,
given their view of the blockchain, whether or not this transaction is valid.
So they do all the transaction validation we talked about earlier.
They run script, they see that the script checks out.
They see that the coins that are being redeemed here haven't already been spent.
And if all of that checks out, then this looks like
a valid transaction that they should try to relay, with a couple of other caveats.
By default, nodes won't relay the transaction if it's a nonstandard script.
If the script has any weird features,
if it doesn't match a fairly simple whitelist of scripts that nodes
know about, even though it's a valid transaction, the nodes won't relay it.
They'll also make sure that they haven't seen the transaction before.
That's that condition to avoid infinite loops.
And there's another property which is that they won't
relay the transaction if it looks like a double spend.
So if they've seen a transaction where Alice tries to send some specific coins to
Bob, And then later they see a second transaction where Alice tries to send
those same coins to Charlie, the nodes shouldn't relay the second transaction.
Even though either transaction could be valid, because those coins still
haven't been spent, they'll only relay the first one they hear.
And that's an extra guard against double spending.
But it's important to keep in mind
that all of these checks are just sanity checks.
So well behaving nodes all implement these to try to keep the network healthy and
running properly, but
there's no rule that says that nodes have to follow these specific steps.
So since it's a peer-to-peer network, and anybody can join,
there is always the possibility of a node not following this exact protocol.
Forwarding double spends, forwarding transactions that aren't standard,
forwarding transactions that aren't valid.
And that's why it's important that every node do the checking for itself.
So it's possible that nodes will end up with a different view
of the pending transaction pool based on what they've seen.
So let's go back to this example where
node four originally relayed a transaction where Alice was trying to pay Bob,
and let's say that this transaction hasn't yet flooded to the entire network.
And before it gets to everybody, node one is going to announce a new transaction and
say hey, I just heard Alice is trying to pay Charlie.
Now from node one's perspective this is a valid transaction, and
they haven't seen the other transaction where Alice is trying to pay Bob.
So, node one is gonna implement the protocol normally and
is gonna tell all of her neighbors about it.
Now the neighbors that haven't heard the conflicting transactions yet
will added to their transaction pool.
Whereas other neighbors, like node six in this example,
they've already received the transaction where Alice is trying to pay Bob.
So, node six is gonna say, I don't wanna hold two conflicting
transactions in my pool I'll just keep the one I already have.
The network may end up in a divided state here, where different nodes have
a different view of what the pending transaction pool is, but that's fine.
These transactions haven't been published in the blockchain yet,
so this is just a temporary state where nodes disagree on which transaction should
be put into the next block.
In practice, this is a race condition.
If nodes have a different perspective on which transactions are pending, or
which blocks have been accepted, that's okay in a temporary state.
And eventually, they'll sort it out.
So in the case of transactions, if different nodes have a different view of
the pending transaction pool, depending on who mines the next block,
they'll essentially break the tie with a race condition and decide which of those
two pending transactions should end up being put permanently into a block.
And once one of those two transactions has been put into a block,
other nodes will see that the transaction that they're holding onto in their pool
is now never going to make it into a block, because it would be a double spend,
and they'll just drop it.
So if the transaction where Alice tried to pay Bob successfully makes it into a block
first, the nodes who heard the transaction where Alice tried to pay Charlie
will just say that's not a valid transaction anymore so I can forget it.
So the default behavior is for nodes to just hang onto whatever they hear first,
which means that network position matters.
If two conflicting transactions, or two conflicting blocks get announced at two
different positions in the network, they'll both flood in opposite directions.
And the nodes which end up with one transaction or
the other will depend on which side of the network they started out closer to.
Of course this assumes that every miner implements this logic where they keep
whatever they hear first, but there's no central authority enforcing this.
So every node is free to do whatever logic they want.
So if for some reason if any node wants to, they can choose to implement
any other logic they for choosing which blocks or which transactions to forward.
We'll talk about that more in our lecture on mining,
why miners might want to implement some different logic other than the default.
Now I've been talking mostly about transactions here.
The logic for announcing new blocks, whenever miners find a new block,
is almost exactly the same as propagating a new transaction.
So the same algorithm is used to announce new blocks around the network.
It's the same flooding algorithm and the same gossip process.
And in this case instead of verifying that the transaction is
valid by running a script,
the nodes are going to verify that the new block is valid by computing the hash.
And making sure that it starts with a sufficient number of zeroes,
to meet the difficulty target.
Now validating a block is also much
more in-depth because in addition to validating the header.
And seeing that the hash value is correct,
nodes are asked to validate every transaction included in the block
to make sure that the block contains only valid new transactions.
And the other check, which is this really important critical part,
if it makes BitCcoin consensus what it is, is that nodes shouldn't forward a block,
unless it builds on their perspective of the current longest chain.
So they have a view of the blockchain, and they should only forward new blocks if
they come at the very end of the chain, not at some earlier point.
And this avoids forks building up.
So just like with transactions, nodes can implement different logic if they want.
They're free to relay blocks that aren't valid, or
to relay blocks that build off of an earlier point in the blockchain.
So some nodes may be trying to relay a block
that doesn't extend the current longest chain, that actually builds a fork.
And that's okay, the protocol is designed to withstand that.
So how long does this floating algorithm actually take?
How much latency is imposed here?
This is a graph showing the average time for new blocks to propagate to every node
in the network, and the three lines show the 25th, the 50th, and the 75th
percentile of how long it takes for a new block to reach every node in the network.
And if you look at the 75th percentile there for some of the larger blocks,
and this is heavily dependent on size because of bandwidth constraints that some
nodes have, you'll see that the average propagation time is over 30 seconds.
So this shows that this isn't a particularly efficient protocol.
On the Internet, 30 seconds is a pretty long time for
people to hear about something.
The reason it takes so long is because the protocol is not very efficient.
It wasn't designed to be efficient.
It was designed to be simple and to have no structure so
that every node is equal and they can come and go at every time.
And as a result the topology may not be optimized for fast communication.
A block may need to go through many nodes before it reaches the most distant nodes
in the network.
Whereas if you design a network top down for efficiency you
would design it to make sure that the path between any two nodes was very short.
For Bitcoin, it's more important to have a decentralized structure where all nodes
are equal,
even if that means that the propagation time can be over 30 seconds in some cases.
So how big is a Bitcoin network?
Well, there is no official statistics anywhere,
because again there is no central authority overseeing it.
It's simply whatever the nodes participating.
They are the Bitcoin network.
So it's impossible to measure exactly and it's changing all the time.
But a number of researchers have looked into this and
tried to come up with estimates.
On the high end, some researchers have said that over a million IP addresses in
a given month will at some point be running the Bitcoin protocol and
acting at least temporarily as a Bitcoin node.
But if you look at full nodes that are actually permanently connected and
are fully validating every transaction they hear, and running the full protocol,
it's only about 5 or 10,000, which may be a surprisingly low number.
And in fact, that number may be dropping.
There's no evidence that the number of fully validating nodes is going up.
And there's some concern that the number of fully-validating
nodes is actually going down.
So to be a fully-validating node, you wanna stay permanently connected so
that you hear about all data.
The longer you're offline, the more catch up you're gonna have to do to hear about
all the transactions you missed.
And you're gonna have to stored the entire block chain.
You'll also need a pretty active network connection so
that you can hear every new transaction and forward it to your peers.
So you can see the growth over time here, and
currently it takes about 20 GB to store the entire blockchain.
Which isn't too bad, if you have a few years old PC with an active network
connection you have what it takes to be a fully validating node.
Although you basically need to dedicate that machine to doing that, and
not much else.
Fully validating nodes, maintain the entire set of unspent transaction outputs.
So every coin that's available to be spent, and
remember that those are just unspent output transactions.
Ideally, you'd like to store this in RAM,
so that when you hear a new proposed transaction on the network,
you can quickly check the transaction that it's attempting to claim.
Run the script and see if it the signature is valid.
So currently there are about 12 million unspent transactions.
And that's out of 44 million transactions that have ever been proposed.
So fortunately, that's still small enough to fit
in less than a gigabyte of RAM in an efficient data structure.
So that if you're running a fully validating node,
every time you hear about a new transaction,
you can quickly check, run the redemption script, and see that this is
a valid transaction that you should put in your pending transaction pool.
So in contrast to being a fully validating node, there are lightweight nodes,
also called thin clients or simple payment verification clients.
This is actually the vast majority of nodes on the Bitcoin network, and
the difference here is that these nodes aren't attempting to store
the entire blockchain.
They only store the pieces that they need to verify some specific transactions
that they care about.
So for example if you run a wallet, your wallet might want to be a simple payment
verification node, and if somebody sends money to you, you'll act as a node.
You'll download the bits of the blockchain that you need to verify that the person
sending you the money actually owned it and that the transaction sending it to you
actually gets included in the blockchain, but you won't care about the thousands of
other transactions going on that don't affect you.
Now an SPV client like this
won't have the full security level of being a fully validating node.
And reason is that when they hear a new block,
the only thing they can check is the block header.
They can check to see that the block was difficult to mine, but
they can't check to see that every transaction included in that block is
actually valid, because they don't the entire previous blockchain.
They don't know the entire unspanned transaction output set.
They can only validate the transactions that actually affect them, so
they're essentially trusting the fully validating nodes to have
validated all the other transactions that are out there.
So this isn't a bad security tradeoff.
You're assuming there are fully validating nodes out there that are doing the hard
work, and that if Myers went through the trouble to mine this block,
which is a really expensive process, they probably also did some validation
to make sure that this block wouldn't be rejected.
And the cost savings of being an SPV node are huge.
It's about 1000 times smaller to just store block headers than to store
all of the previous transactions, so
instead of storing about 20 GB of data, you're down to about 20 MB.
Which is something that almost anybody on a PC or
even on a phone can store and act as a limited node in the Bitcoin network.

Aspects of Ageing
Theories of Ageing
Home >> Ageing
Sociology of Ageing
As we age, our lives change while changing the society too. In fact, society organizes our lives in patterned ways that correspond to being a child, an adolescent, an adult, and an older person. Ageing can be sociologically defined as the combination of biological, psychological and social processes that affect people, as they grow older. Gerontology is studying the aging and the elderly in the population. It is derived from the Greek word geron, meaning "old person. Gerontologists work in many disciplines, including medicine, psychology, and sociology investigate not only how people change as they grow old but also the different ways in which societies around the world define old age.
Growing old is a complex and gradual process having biological, psychological and social dimensions, which not only do not fully correspond with one another but also do not exactly coincide with one's chronological age. It is, however, true that the chronological age is an index of the growing and developmental process that goes on in the biological, psychological and sociological dimensions, and, therefore, the chronological definition of what constitutes old age is useful for purposes of study.
Growing old brings with it distinctive experiences and also significant disadvantages, including lower income and sometimes the experience of prejudice and discrimination, both in and beyond the workplace. For this reason, like class, gender, and race, growing old is a dimension of social stratification. A 1998 report by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA 1998) notes that the population of those aged 65 and older worldwide grew by about 9 million in 1998.
By 2010, this population will grow by 14.5 million and by 2050 it will grow by 21 million. The most rapid growth of the 65 and older group will take place in the industrialized nations of the world, where families have fewer children and people live longer than in poorer countries. In the industrialized countries, the percentage of the older population grew from 8 per cent in 1950 to 14 percent in 1998, and it is projected to reach 25 per cent by 2050.
The populations of most of the world's societies are ageing as the result of a decline in both birth and death rates, although the populations of the developing countries continue to have shorter life spans because of poverty, malnutrition and disease. In nearly all high-income nations, the share of elderly people is increasing rapidly. There are two reasons for this increase: low birth rates and increasing longevity.
The world's average life expectancy grew from 46 in 1950 to 50 in 1985 and will reach 71 by 2025 (UNFPA1998). By that time, some 800 million people will be over the age of 65, nearly a threefold increase in numbers from 1990. This explosion has enormous implications for social policy. More than 150 nations currently provide public assistance for people who are elderly or disabled, or for their survivors when they die. Older people are especially likely to require costly health- care services. Their rapid growth in numbers threatens to strain the medical systems in many industrial nations, where the cost of providing healthcare to older people is likely to overwhelm government budgets.

SCEE are still continuing their marketing push. There's been a tremendous marketing effort from Sony worldwide since the launch of the PS3 Slim, and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is, in many ways, Sony's crown jewel.
The British Uncharted 2: Among Thieves ad follows the theme of earlier PS3 advertising in the UK, and while we're not sure it carries the same kind of panache we'd like to see from an Uncharted 2 advert, it does a good job of playing into the marketing theme Sony already have running on TV and in magazines.
Playstation branding (and Uncharted 2 in particular) is set to pop up a lot over the next 10 weeks. Sony are sponsoring Sky One & Two Movies, aswell as the Discovery channel's adventure programming and the England World Cup Qualifier next week. Sony will also be advertising in cinemas with the release of Saw IV, Zombieland and Jennifer's Body. So obviously very relevent spots for Uncharted 2 and the Playstation 3 in general.
Exactly what impact the promotions will have remains to be seen, but it's got to be better than nothing, right?


Michigan's night skies are the home of one of the greatest celestial displays in America.
Michigan's night skies are the home of one of the greatest celestial displays in America.
As the sun goes down and the day ends, a luminous view is presented to the traveler who ventures out after dark.
Michigan skies are home to one of the greatest star shows in the United States, and the new Pure Michigan commercial "Dark Sky" offers viewers a glimpse into these stunning celestial displays.
The spot debuted April 5 and will continue to appear in cinemas and on national cable channels across the Midwest through mid-May.
Dark Sky is reinforcing the state of Michigan as a premier travel destination, even after dark.
Aimed at elevating awareness of Michigan as a destination for stargazing and viewing of celestial events such as the Northern Lights, the new commercial reaches both young adventurer travelers and families, inspiring them to seek yet another dimension of Michigan's natural beauty – the night sky.
Dark Sky will air before the start of PG and PG-13 movies playing in 261 cinemas across 2,021 screens in Michigan as well as Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota and Wisconsin. It is also showing on 12 cable channels nationally.
As part of the Dark Sky campaign, Pure Michigan is partnering with The Weather Channel to promote coverage of live meteorological events including the Aquarids Meteor Shower and the Full Strawberry Moon.
In addition, Pure Michigan is continuing its successful partnership with Outside Online to highlight Michigan's night skies.
Custom content promoting the campaign will also be delivered to users via Spotify overlay advertisements.
Residents and visitors travelling Michigan highways can soon expect to see digital billboards showcasing the Dark Sky messaging, offering brilliant views of Michigan's skyscapes.
As home to state-designated Dark Sky Preserves located within six state parks, Michigan offers ample opportunity for stargazing.
Dark Sky Preserves are protected against outdoor lighting fixtures and limit the use of lights by park-goers, ensuring little to no interference for the viewing of celestial happenings for years to come.
In addition,Headlands International Dark Sky Park in Mackinaw City is the only internationally designated preserve in the state and provides an exceptional environment for viewing night sky wonders.
For more information on the Dark Sky campaign, to find dark sky locations and to learn inside secrets for optimal stargazing, visit the Dark Sky landing page.


Is it possible to grow plants with 40 watt Fluos?
Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by yinyang, Apr 27, 2006.
i just came back from canadian tire and they didnt have anything much stronger than that in the fluos section. I was just wondering if this could work on my babies. And if not what light and wattage would would be the best to use all around?
So I guess no.. you can't grow a plant with 40 watts.. you could keep it alive.. I doubt it would gro much though..
You maybe disapointed in the final result using 40 watt fluoros, or you might be happy as hell if a bud actually grows.
Seems people around here use this forum for bussiness growing, and if so, HPS is the way to go. Still, i do encourage didactic self growing, even though its not going to be a cup winner cannabis.
And moneywise, a 40 watt bulb will do pretty much nothing on your bill. So, try it, and decide for yourself if you are comfie ith getting little bud for little money.
Ok, thx alot guys. got some quick answers on this one. Now if youll excuse me ill be leaving to get better lights.
yea im thinking about getting another 40 watt light which would give me 80. its only temporary until i put them outdoor.
but i might buy an HPS light for the few im keeping inside.
Odd question, but is it possible to grow other plants (not marijuana) in grow rooms?
Is it possible to clone plants outdoors?
Is it possible to grow opiate plants?
Is it possible to flower with fluros???

Evisas has become really popular in the last few years since it already part of many countries' visa policies. Included in those countries is Turkey that is currently issuing evisa to citizens of 40 countries. The list will be lengthened in the future, definitely. If you are one of lucky people who no longer need to take a trip to the Turkish embassy, you can apply online and have the visa in as fast as 15 minutes.
All you need to do is access iVisa's website and use the Visa Checker to find out whether or not you are qualified for a Turkey evisa. To utilize this tool, insert Guinean as your nationality and Turkey for destination. Your eligibility status will be displayed in just a second. Additionaly, you will be able to apply right away if you are eligible.
What are the requirements for Guinean?
Passport – getting a Guinean passport is quite easy these days, so you should be able to obtain one fast. If you do have one, make sure that it remains valid for the duration of your trip. Just take a quick look at the expiry date.
Acquiring a Turkey evisa using iVisa's services is simpler than travelers, including Guinean, may think. Honestly, it should only take 5 minutes to finish filling in an online form which is divided into two simple steps.

The Turkey evisa you receive is valid for 180 days after issue, and it allow Guinean 30-day stay in Turkey. US, UK, and Netherlands citizens are allowed to stay for up to 90 days in Turkey.

Oscar nominations 2021: Steven Yeun becomes first Asian American nominated for best actor
David Fincher's "Mank" led nominations to the 93rd Oscars with 10 nods, and for the first time, two women - Chloé Zhao and Emerald Fennell - were nominated for best director. Here's a look at nominees in key categories.
LOS ANGELES -- Included in a year of Oscar firsts is the only Asian American ever to be nominated for best actor.
Steven Yeun, who plays Jacob in the tender family drama "Minari," is the first American of Asian descent to score the award show's top acting nod. He joins nine other actors of color nominated, a record, including fellow best actor nominees Riz Ahmed ("Sound of Metal"), the first person of Pakistani descent nominated in an acting category, and Chadwick Boseman ("Ma Rainey's Black Bottom"), who was nominated posthumously.
Yeun's co-star Yuh-Jung Youn also received a supporting actress nomination, and "Minari" totaled six nods.
"Minari" follows a Korean family who moves to a wide-open Arkansas plot to farm the land, a film loosely based on director Lee Isaac Chung's own American immigrant experience.

Yeun too is a child of first-generation immigrants from Korea. The 37-year-old actor was born in Seoul, but his family emigrated when he was 4 and ultimately settled in Michigan.
Yeun told the Associated Press that he brought his father to the film's premiere, and at the end, they stood up, hugged and sobbed.
"This movie is a feeling for me. The feeling is the thing that keeps it connected to everybody," Yeun said. "I don't know how it's getting its way out there, specifically. But I just do know the feeling is getting out there."
Yeun's additional acting credits include "Burning" and "The Walking Dead."

Sentries stand on guard at the National War Memorial
PHOTO: Handout photo, The Argylls of Canada - 91st Canadian Highlanders Facebook page
Cpl Cirillo, left, and Cpl Stevenson of the The Argylls of Canada - 91st Canadian Highlanders on Guard at The National War Memorial in Ottawa. Cirillo was shot and killed while standing guard at the memorial on Oct. 22, 2014.
by Chris Cobb,
They stand guard holding rifles that aren't loaded, in a show of respect for those who have fought and died for this country.
It was only months ago that members of the Canadian Forces started spending longer hours standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The first sentries were posted for the full working day – 9-to-5 – in August after restorative work on the National War Memorial was finished. Their last duty was to be Nov. 10, the day before Remembrance Day.
The rotation was then to begin anew on April 9, which marks the anniversary of the start of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
The armed forces have served as sentries at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during July and August since 2007 – a year after three young men were photographed urinating at the monument on Canada Day and caused a national outcry – especially from veterans groups.
Outrage heightened when the Citizen published a front-page photograph of the incident, and it moved then newly-minted Prime Minister Stephen Harper to phone an area radio station.
"Obviously, it's a terrible thing to do," said Harper. "Certainly, my impression is that doesn't represent in any way the views of any segment of Canadian society."
Those skateboarding and pulling bicycle wheelies in and around the monument also contributed to the decision to have a greater military presence at the site and to reinforce the message that the site was to be treated with dignity rather than as a public playground.
The National Sentry Program expanded the rotation of sentries to the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Special Operations Command.
The plan was to recognize special military anniversaries with sentries from units whose history is associated with those events.
The remains of an unidentified Canadian soldier who died in the First World War were repatriated from France in May 2000 and, in a special ceremony, buried in a special tomb in front of the war memorial. It honours more than 116,000 Canadians who died in the Great War.

Servest has announced the acquisition of Pro-Check Environmental Services Northern as it seeks to extend its services in the pest control sector.
Although the terms of the deal were not revealed, the announcement stated that growth within the pest control market was a "key value driver for Servest".
Pro-Check Environmental Services Northern has been in business since 2000 and serves companies and councils mainly in Scotland.
In addition to pest control, it also offers cleaning, hygiene and environmental services.
Founder Jim Devaney will now take on the role of area manager for Scotland.
The purchase is the third in four months for Servest and the close proximity of the Pro-Check premises to that of Arthur McKay's head office - acquired by the company in late 2016 - is also said to provide further opportunities.
Servest chief executive officer Rob Legge welcomed the Pro-Check team and said the move is part of his company's growth strategy.
"The acquisition marks an exciting start to the year as we continue to grow," he said.

Adding Business Value Group has been founded on the principle of applying industrial expertise to consulting business: collaborative work, cost cross-sectional vision, project management, planning, analytical methodology, lean management.
ABV strategic management allows you to reduce the gap between your present situation and the regulatory framework or market potential opportunities. Our exchanges will bring meaning, innovation and creativity to our missions, in order to multiply value for your company.
The ABV scheme consisting of "project manager" and "hyper-specialist" is organized on a project-oriented basis to guarantee the achievement of the set objectives, as well as the quality of audit reports, support and other services.
Within such collaboration scheme, everyone brings its contribution, expertise, vision and company knowledge, in order to meet your requirements most precisely. This is an easy idea: our activity is based on the principle of sharing.
The Big Idea: first of all, our collaboration is team work, with you and your team, with our management project and our expert consultant, with ABV community.
There is no time sheet. Quality is the only refence of the audit mission and our remuneration is based on a success-fee basis, according to the objective we have agreed with you.
Challenging the "hyper specialist" expert compels him or her to be able to offer a high level service, in an educational orientation, more transverse in the analysis and the results presentation.
Bringing a management vision; i.e.: a current report of the present situation, of risks, of opportunities and operational possibilities for your company's strategic cost management.
Bearing in mind your management decisions, you will be totally free to make up your mind as fas as the implementation of our studies is concerned. We will stay constantly by your side according to your needs.
At a time when companies have to face multiple challenges, they need consulting services capable of making analyses, comments and recommendations to be in a position to make the right decisions within the good timing. The consultant must not only guide but also be able to support operationally.
Our strength: our cross-sectional knowledge of companies enables us to have a view of costs in their context. Thus, we can study all optimisation possibilities for your company be it upstream or downstream activities, in order to bring you management vision for your cost management.
Our work method is the result of ABV Group founders' industrial experiences.
Listening phase, exchange of experiences, information collection, study by consultancy firm, in-house validation of recommendations then audit presentation, audit report, client decision, skills transfer and support to implementation, follow up, watch, and assistance.
This methodology is not really "business-oriented". It is basically cross-sectional and can apply whatever the issues or the know-how.
It allows, for instance, to adapt purchasing practices from automobile industry to food industry, broadening the scope of possibilities.
This is also secure for both of us. In fact, our methodology allows several audit missions to be followed easily, whatever the areas of study or expertise.
As a matter of fact, the process used for carrying out the audit mission is self-enhancing, because it allows our partners to keep their management freedom and share easily their skills.
"An example among others. In the scope of an audit mission regarding vehicle fleet, the administrative director could not attend the mission's first meeting for more than a quarter of an hour. Four hours later, he was still there and was completely involved given the quality of our expert consultant and the significant number of savings opportunities… It resulted in 18 % budget savings, with a recovery of 1 million euros, a 100 % brand new fleet and more than 300t/year of CO2 savings."


On this episode of PhilosoChat, I welcome the very successful conservative commentator, Blonde in the Belly of the Beast. We will be discussing the relationship between men and women in a feminist dominated culture. What has feminism done to these relationships, and how can they be improved?

The Constitution Party's Donald Trump Dilemma: Version 2020
The Constitution Party (CP) will be choosing it's Presidential nominee this Friday evening via teleconference, as its previously scheduled National Convention in St. Louis was cancelled due to the Coronavirus lockdown. In 2016 prior to the CP National Convention, I wrote an article entitled "The Constitution Party's Donald Trump Dilemma" in which I explained why the CP needed to be very careful about how it handled Trump and the Trump phenomenon. Well, here we are four years later, and I believe a similar article is in order. Trump has proven to be such a divisive figure, inspiring both great love and great hate, that the political dynamics I was commenting on in 2016 are even more entrenched than they were four years ago, and the CP needs to position itself wisely if it wants to be more relevant to the broader debate.
First a little history for those not familiar with the Constitution Party. The Constitution Party is the only "further to the right" (of the Republican Party) party with a relatively national profile. There are "more conservative" (than the GOP) parties at the state level or that exist primarily as internet entities, but none have a significant national presence. It is appropriate to think of the Constitution Party as the conservative equivalent of the Green Party, which is the only "more liberal" (than the Democrat Party) party of any national prominence on the left.
That said, the Constitution Party has always suffered from a bit of an identity crisis. Is the CP a "three-legs-of-the-stool" movement conservative party that is just more so than the GOP? Is it a Constitutionalist Party? Is it a "religious right" party? Or is it a Buchananite, paleoconservative, more populist party? The answer to all these questions is to varying degrees "yes," but I believe it is very helpful to look at the history of how the CP came to be to help us sort this out.
The CP was initially formed in 1992, then known as the U.S. Taxpayers Party, as a collection of already existing state parties, to be a potential vehicle to carry on Pat Buchanan's insurgent Republican primary challenge of George Bush 1. While that was not to be, the CP has from the beginning represented not just a more conservative by degree party, but a different kind of conservatism party, especially on the three seminal issues that made Buchananism unique - immigration restriction, opposition to free-trade ideology, and nonintervention on foreign policy. These Buchananite/paleo elements have always been reflected in the CP's party platform.
While the CP, like all alternative parties, has long been plagued by certain internal strifes, I believe that this failure to understand the CP as a more paleo party, and not just the GOP on steroids, has been the most fundamental external mis-perception of the Party, and it is here that the CP runs square up against its Trump dilemma.
While Trump is most certainly not a perfect human being or a perfect conservative of whatever sort, he has been closer to right (especially rhetorically) on that cluster of three issues than any other significant Republican candidate since Buchanan. So the CP criticism of Trump cannot be simply from a more purist movement style "conservatism" perspective like much of the professional NeverTrump crowd. It can't be that Trump is a protectionist, nativist, who is insufficiently enthusiastic about starting more foreign wars or else the CP could just run Evan McMullin or some other NeverTrump Twitter warrior. The criticism has to be from the perspective of being more Trumpian than Trump on those three issues, especially foreign policy where Trump has the most failed to live up to his promise of a more America First foreign policy.
CP members need to recognize that conservative vs. liberal is not the only political dynamic at play these days. Increasingly, here and across the globe, the emerging dynamic is populist nationalism vs. neoliberal globalism. While this may present challenges with just how to reconcile certain aspects of populist nationalism with authentic conservatism and Constitutionalism (government spending in particular comes to mind), this is undoubtedly a fertile dynamic for the CP to exploit if it plays its cards right because it is and always has been on the right side of the anti-globalist divide on the three key issues discussed above - immigration, trade and foreign policy.
The CP will be making a mistake if it chooses to simply position itself as the "more conservative than thou" or "more righteous than thou" Party. It needs to position itself as the "more Trumpian than Trump" Party but without the personal baggage and foibles of Trump. A Party that is poised to lead the nationalist battle against the forces of globalist homogenization that threaten to level us. Joining with the forces of globalism as just another voice of inchoate anti-Trumpism would be highly counterproductive.

The Constitution party needs to be a CONSTITUTIONAL Party and cannot afford to nominate a Trump Like candidate for President Don Blankenship. It wAs laughabl3e that Janine Hanson a Delegate from Nevada refered to a man that was the CEO of a Mining Company that resulted in thje death of 29 minors, then wrote a book blaming the Obama Administration for the loss of life. Enough is enough of these candidates that cannot accept responsibility for their own areas of responsibility. At work when I make a mistake I admit I made a mistake. With four other candidates seeking the CP Nomination for President, I hope the MAJORITY of the CP Delegates choose so meone other than Don Blankenship as the CP Nominee. There are TWO Virginians seeking the CP Nomination for President, and one is a hispanic woman, but either of them have REAL INTEGRITY and are not responsible for the death of 29 minors. It should not matter to anyone whether Don Blankenship was convicted of any crime, it should matter that there was sufficient evidence to go to trial and therefore he lacks the integrity to represent the Constitution Party and the one thing this party does not need is NEGATIVE Press Coverage which will come if he is the Presidential Nominee of the Constitution Party.

Last night I watched Mad Hot Ballroom, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's a great movie to watch if you're depressed, especially. I had a big grin on my face the whole time (trailer here). The premise is that several classes of fifth graders in New York City public schools take ballroom dancing lessons and compete for a top prize. The children are in that awkward stage, but they are all so adorable. The documentary doesn't explore the class implications of ballroom dancing except to mention briefly that ballroom dancing isn't just about dancing, but also about etiquette and learning about other cultures, and the camera doesn't follow the kids very closely into their home lives, though they are interviewed about how they feel about dancing and a few other innocuous topics. The teachers seem to be lovely people; they clearly care a lot about the children, and they even choke up when talking about them and the effect dancing has had on them. If you're like me and love dance movies, this movie will make you feel all squeeful and joyous. This is why I love Netflix.
A couple of nights ago, I watched Long Day's Journey into Night.
I've written about how great art produces in me a sensation of erasure (the mental Etch-a-Sketch). This play/film certainly did. I had shied away from watching it in the past, mostly because I was worried that I'd be sucked into all the emotional labor. I was, but I was able to aestheticize it, I guess, due to the performances.
I was always able to perceive that performance layer of it -- in other words, the actors didn't manage to slip underneath the characters -- especially in the case of Katharine Hepburn. This is due to the fact that she's a star, not anything about her performance, which was stunning. Her face, for example, would instantly go from a placid, faraway look as she remembered the past to a scrunched-up, tortured look as she snapped back into the present. Ralph Richardson's performance was distracting in that he was overacting, but I understand that that's part of the character, a would-have-been Shakespearean actor.
Jason Robards' performance was, apparently, the one that made him famous, and it was definitely great, but I liked Dean Stockwell's performance even more, particularly the scene in which he recites Baudelaire to his father. Also, who knew Stockwell was so hot back then?
1. The decision to zoom the camera way out, then back in, then way out again was an unusual one, but understandable given the withdrawal of Mary Tyrone during her monologue at the end.
2. I found myself wondering if that play could even be written or imagined now. Do families ever engage that deeply with each other anymore? (Or did they then, for that matter?) I'm thinking particularly of the card game scene between Edmund and James near the end. Wouldn't the 23-year-old son, upon arriving home, just creep upstairs to his room and listen to some music on headphones, or get on the internet, or watch some TV?
Stage Door is an excellent film, by the way; I highly recommend it.

HomeChicago Police released a video of Smollet with wearing ropes and bleach!!!
Chicago Police released a video of Smollet with wearing ropes and bleach!!!
By Mrunal Tadas
There's again, a new turn with the Jussie Smollett case. The Chicago police are not stopping anywhere soon. The Police have recently released hundreds of files from the investigation from the Smollet's claim that he was reportedly assaulted by two men.
Recently footage was released which includes a video in which Smollett is seen with the rope and face isn't showcased clearly, it is blurred. In the video, the Empire actor is seen wearing a white rope. When asked about the rope, Jussie said I wanted you all to see.
When he was talking with the cops, he realized he is been recorded in their camera and said, he wants the camera's off as he is not comfortable to proceed.
Meanwhile, in the video, it is also recorded that he is telling the police that he also bleach on his body. This video was released after the State judge suggested that a special prosecutor will be appointed in the Jussie's case. Well, Empire's sixth and the final season was announced, and when asked about Smollet, Fox said, they have no plans to bring Jussie Smollett back! It was totally confirmed when Daniel himself announced that Smollet won't be returning to the show.
That means it is sure, we won't see him in the final segment. It is also been said, that due to all of these recent things happening with Smollet has been the trouble to the show. He also filed a false report and attracted the sympathy for being subjected to a racial and homophobic attack. Due to this, he totally messed up a lot.
Now let's just stay tuned, to know what will happen next.
