More than once I have heard photographers describe their craft as being "all about the light" – thus dismissing things like subject, composition, concept and so on. I absolutely understand how creative approaches to light can make or break a shoot, so I wanted to lay out several approaches and samples for how we can make our light setups more than "natural light vs. artificial light" kind of circular conversations.
This is light that we change or transform either as it lands on our subject or passes through our lenses. The altered light has to pass through another object before it reaches its destination.
An altered light that I commonly get asked to use is gel lighting, gels being colored transparencies that either give a warming, cooling, or radically solid coloration to the light. I've seen many a movie and music video where a dark, surreal atmosphere is communicated through virtue of having different colors on skin or backgrounds. The original Suspiria directed by Dario Argento is a notable example of gel lighting in film. For my purposes, I'll often use a colored gel to colorize a flat white wall into appearing as a color paper backdrop. This absolutely saves on having to haul around a 9-ft seamless backdrop when a gelled LED light or two on a Gorillapod mount fits so conveniently in my backpack.
The altered light can be achieved by using a go-between, or gobo; essentially a stencil that makes light project as a predetermined pattern rather than a wide swath of light. If something blocking the light is moved further from the light source, it's generally considered a flag (blocking the light) or cucoloris/cookie (still creating unnatural patterns). All these objects have the intention of shaping the light so it isn't going all over the place. In the model photography genre, I've seen perhaps 3,000,000 variations of the Venetian blind projection over a naked lady- I've also seen some incredibly complicated and clever uses of go-betweens, essentially creating the idea that we are in a particular environment complete with all the shadows that should be in the scene but none of them are real.
Television sets. Digital or slide projectors. Your phone flashlight. Shop lights. Car headlights. Campfires and candle flames. Holiday lights.
These are scenarios where we mix color temperatures or a number of lights to create interest. I'm not talking about 3 softboxes, I mean more like 20 small flashlights or old lamps mixed with daylight mixed with a bounce. The most famous example off the top of my head is Gregory Crewsdon and his large scale tableaus that are meant to be a heightened reality in cinematic fashion.
Then there's good-old shadows and reflections – the cheapest special effects in the world that so many of us forget about. Shooting the reflected light of a model rather than the model themselves creates a layered effect that a lot of modern viewers may interpret as Photoshop, and combining that reflected light with judicious shadow placement can create a phantasmagoric effect.
It's fairly easy to come up with a neat laundry list of lighting techniques; watch any of the Academy Award-winning cinematographers with a notebook. Investigate the work of Erwin Blumenfeld, see what National Geographic photographers do to get unique lighting looks. Goof around with your drinking glasses and old mirrors. Spend a few dollars on nice lighting gels or pick up a slide projector from Goodwill. These little in-camera lighting tweaks can turn an ordinary shoot into something magical.

The Book of Killowen by Erin Hart
February 28, 2013 by Don Helin
By Don Helin
In her latest novel, THE BOOK OF KILLOWEN, Erin Hart unleashes a plot so powerful that Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN and WHAT WE SAW AT NIGHT says, "Can the arcane science and lore of the Irish 'bog people,' who often died alone and in agony, be fuel for a mystery that actually does what THE DA VINCI CODE tried to do? A thousand times yes, if Erin Hart's storytelling witchery is at work. Intelligent, eerie, utterly compelling."
After a year away from working in the field, archaeologist Cormac Maguire and pathologist Nora Gavin are back in the bogs, investigating a ninth-century body found buried in the trunk of a car. They discover that the ancient corpse is not alone—pinned beneath it is the body of Benedict Kavanagh, missing for mere months and familiar to television viewers as a philosopher who enjoyed destroying his opponents in debate. Both men were viciously murdered, but centuries apart—so how did they end up buried together in the bog?
While on the case, Cormac and Nora lodge at Killowen, a nearby artists' colony and organic farm and sanctuary for eccentric souls. Digging deeper into the older crime, they become entangled in high-stakes intrigue encompassing Kavanagh's death while surrounded by suspects in his ghastly murder. It seems that everyone at Killowen has some secret to protect.
Set in modern-day Ireland, THE BOOK OF KILLOWEN delves deep into the mysteries of the past, revealing a new twist on the power of language—and on the eternal mysteries of good and evil.
Is there anything special you'd like to tell us about THE BOOK OF KILLOWEN?
It's another Nora Gavin/Cormac Maguire story—they're back in the Irish midlands, digging up people who've been buried for centuries in bogs. There's plenty of archeology and forensic science. And like all my other novels, it combines all the layers of history, one on top of the other. I've always been fascinated by the richness of the monastic tradition in Ireland, the centuries that were considered the Dark Ages in Europe, when Irish monks were making the most fantastic books and manuscripts, copying over older works and writing down stories from their own oral culture—as a group, they were really responsible for preserving all the history and literature and science of the Western world at the time. I'm also intrigued by our shifting notions of what a book is—I'm still astonished when I hear people talk about 'physical books.' But the definition of the word 'book' is changing, and it's all very interesting—should a book be a sacred artifact, as it was to the ancient monks, or is it a collection of words and ideas, whatever way those words and ideas are transmitted? In this novel I get to play around with all these ideas, the written word vs. the oral tradition, the unique beauty of a handwritten book, the meaning of the monks' illuminations, the origin of written language, and above all, I get to carry on my love affair with words!
Did any particular event inspire the plot?
Funny you should ask—some particular event ALWAYS inspires my plot! In this case, a 9th-century book of psalms that turned up in an Irish bog in 2006. It was an illuminated vellum manuscript, now known as the Faddan More Psalter, after the place where it was found. It's the only Irish manuscript ever found preserved in a bog, and it had to go through a couple of years of conservation before going on display at the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. Writing an archaeological series set in Ireland, I'll never be stuck for material—it seems like something new is turning up in the bogs, from 3,000-year-old butter to 2,000-year-old wooden roads, to fantastic hoards of gold, to people who might have been human sacrifices. As a crime writer, my first thought when I heard about the discovery of this book from the 9th century was, "Well, where's the fella who was carrying the book?" You know crime writers, always looking for a body.
What are you doing to promote your book?
I'm doing lots of local events in Minnesota, including a launch sponsored by the Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, lots of bookstores and libraries. I've got some guest blog appearances lined up with the Crime Fiction Collective; Jungle Red Writers; Declan Burke's Irish crime fiction blog, Crime Always Pays, and a few others. I'm also hoping to get to a few national events this year—Malice Domestic and Bouchercon and Thrillerfest, and I'm working to arrange some additional book tour dates throughout the spring and summer and into the fall. My husband (Irish accordion player Paddy O'Brien—and yes, that is his real name) often does events with me. This year it's especially exciting because Paddy has a new book out, too—a memoir about growing up in an old thatched house in rural Ireland during the 1950s, THE ROAD FROM CASTLEBARNAGH. So we travel together and do book chats that are combined with images and a bit of music and song.
I'm working on a new novel, so far only known as BOOK FIVE. It'll be set in Ireland, and make connections between the past and the present, since that is my grand obsession as an artist. I can't really say more than that; I don't even know how my stories are going to end until I get there… Writing is a process of investigation for me—almost like archeology—digging and sifting through all the layers of history to find what remains behind, what survives into the present.
When you're not writing, what are you doing (hobbies, family, etc.)?
Reading, naturally! I've always been a pretty voracious reader of crime fiction, and that's still the case. Paddy and I are also movie lovers, so we watch a LOT of films, especially mysteries and crime and thrillers—and Westerns! When I'm not writing or reading or watching movies, I love cooking, hanging out with my extended family at the cabin, having friends over for dinner. And I do love to travel—my family is sort of international, for some reason. I married an Irishman, and my sisters' husbands are from Romania and Cyprus, so we've done big family trips to Cyprus, Ireland, France, a few other places. And of course I have to keep going back to Ireland for research, to replenish the well, so to speak. Such a chore, I know!
Be sure to get a copy of THE BOOK OF KILLOWEN. I know that I will. -Don Helin

Kill Or Be Killed With Deniro Farrar & Shady Blaze
Deniro Farrar's sound has always been more akin to West Coast artists like Main Attrakionz and Schoolboy Q than his East Coast and/or Southern counterparts and the Kill Or Be Killed tape sees the Charlotte native matching bars with Green Ova member and East Oakland representative Shady Blaze. The tape is essentially an expanded version of last month's DESTINY. altered and features an drool-worthy list of producers ranging from Green Ova mainstays Ryan Hemsworth and Friendzone to Sines and Lunice's 808s driven take on Bass music. Like the title suggests, Farrar and Blaze are mainly concerned with street realism and their contrasting lyrical styles mash surprisingly well. Astral Plane favorite Haleek Maul features on the desolate Hemsworth produced "Cold Blood" and contributes one of the tapes best verses. Stream Kill Or Be Killed below and head here to download it (name your price).
Lil B and Main Attrakionz Producer Nem270 Releases New EP
It has always astounded me how artists like Lil B and Main Attrakionz, and to a lesser extent A$AP Rocky, will look in the most obscure places for their beats. It is fair to say that Clams Casino would have never reached his current level of fame without Lil B putting him on three years ago. The same could be said for the rising Keyboard Kid, or for what Rocky has done for SpaceGhostPurp or ASAP Ty. That is why it is no surprise that the newest beat tape from Nem270, who has recently produced for Lil B, Main Attrakionz (as well as solo work for Squadda B) and Shady Blaze, is straight fire. Nem, an Ottowa native, has been making beats for the aforementioned artists since 2010, but hasn't received much acclaim until recently. Nem's newest tape, Desktop Pain, is a collection of unreleased beats selected by Brooklyn/Western Massachusetts "download fashion boutique" Triple You Tapes. Like Clams Casino's Instrumentals, the tape easily stands on its own, as opposed to say, the recent araabMuzik (who has some pretty oversized opinions about himself) tape. Some of the beats fit into the ambient range favored by Main Attrakionz ("Desktop Pain"), while others have banging percussion ("Perfect Cold"). Not all are meant to rapped over, but all do stand up well as individual tracks. The EP is a little bit rough around the edges, but should stir up some intrigue in the young Ottawan.

A cinema has apologised to a great aunt who paid to take her nieces to a film, but couldn't get her tickets because of a technical glitch.
The problem meant Alison Brown, of Netherton, and the excited youngsters – sisters Gracie and Evie and their cousin Jessica - couldn't see the new film The Secret Life of Pets at the Odeon Cinema by the John Smith's Stadium in Huddersfield. It left four-year-old Gracie in tears.
To save time Mrs Brown had paid £31.40 online for tickets, popcorn and drinks.
Mrs Brown, 57, who has used the machines before so knows the process, tried the second machine, only to be given the same message.
She struggled to find someone to help, and when she contacted the Odeon's customer services department on her phone, her money was refunded.
She ended up taking the children to KFC instead, and they still haven't seen the film.
Alison Brown, Great Aunt to Gracie 4 and Evie 8, upset over missing their movie at Huddersfield Odeon.
Now the Odeon has apologised.
A spokesperson said: "We are sorry to hear about Alison's experience following an isolated technical error with the in-cinema ticketing machines in our Huddersfield cinema, and have spoken with Mrs Brown to grant a full refund, apologising for the inconvenience.
"We have also offered her and her nieces complimentary tickets to return to our cinemas any time to see The Secret Life of Pets, or any of the other great films showing at Odeon this summer.


A broad smile replaced a tentative look after a second-grader at Eastwood Elementary School in East Alton learned how to multiply for the first time. Her teacher, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville junior Ashley Scottoriva, could not help but to let her own face erupt into a big grin.
Approximately 60 SIUE elementary education teacher candidates completed their final Eastwood Before School Math Group Instruction on Friday, Nov. 2, according to Barbara Martin, EdD, assistant professor in the School of Education, Health and Human Behavior's Department of Teaching and Learning.
Eastwood students receive a free breakfast in the gym each day before school begins. Martin thought it would be good to introduce math into the equation.
SIUE elementary education majors selected those interested in learning and strengthening their math skills and took them to a separate room to play math games. After approximately 15 minutes, the future educators returned to the gym for the second and final group of the morning. The program was offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from Sept. 14-Nov. 2. SIUE students worked with more than 100 elementary learners.
In another case where a student was reluctant to try her hand at multiplication, Katka gave her a gentle nudge.
"The extra practice that SIUE students provided our elementary students was evident on their STAR (Standardized Test for the Assessment of Reading) monthly scores," noted Smith.
The SIUE School of Education, Health and Human Behavior prepares students in a wide range of fields including community and public health, exercise science, nutrition, instructional technology, psychology, speech-language pathology and audiology, educational administration and teaching. Faculty members engage in leading-edge research, which enhances teaching and enriches the educational experience. The School supports the community through on-campus clinics, outreach to children and families, and a focused commitment to enhancing individual lives across the region.
SIUE junior Tyler Wheeler and Eastwood student Zayden Baisull talk multiplication.

Q: How do I keep a value within QLineEdit to retain its value after program is closed? I am using Qt Ruby
How do I keep the value of a user entered QlineEdit to keep its state even after the program is closed, in that way, the user can access the contents the next time he opens the program.

A: Solution 1 - using File.write/read:
edit_widget = Qt::LineEdit.new(parent)
File.write(filename, edit_widget.text)
exit

After the program re-start:
text = File.read(filename)
edit_widget.setText text

Solution 2 - using QSettings:
settings = Qt::Settings.new(filename, Qt::Settings::NativeFormat)

edit_widget = Qt::LineEdit.new(parent)
edit_widget.text = "abcde"

settings.setValue("field1", Qt::Variant.fromValue(edit_widget.text))
settings.sync
exit

After the program re-start:
settings = Qt::Settings.new(filename, Qt::Settings::NativeFormat)
edit_widget = Qt::LineEdit.new(parent)
edit_widget.text = settings.value("field1").toString

Q: On a 50 question multiple choice exam with 5 choices per questions, What are the odds that I get 100% if I were to Guess every answer? What would the odds be to get 100% on a multiple choice exam where I guessed the answer to all 50 of the multiple choice questions (5 choices per questions)?
A 1 in how many chance?

A: In every answer, you have $\frac15$ chance to guess the correct answer. You need that chance to occur all the $50$ time, and since all of your answers are independent events, you need to multiply these probabilties, therefore your chance: $(\frac{1}{5})^{50}=\frac{1}{5^{50}}$, which is not too big, you should learn for your exams. :)


Kochi and Bangalore metro projects epitomize the French willingness to support the implementation of the strategic programs launched by the Government of India for the development of the country.
France, which provided strong support to the Kochi metro project, was represented by HE Mr Alexandre Ziegler, Ambassador of France to India, at the metro inauguration by Hon'ble PM Narendra Modi on 17th of June 2017.
The French Development Agency (AFD) has granted a EUR 360 million (INR 2520 cr) loan to Kochi Metro, its single biggest-investment in India to fund the metro and various urban mobility improvement works. AFD has also provided a technical assistance program to improve inter modality of transport modes and the setting up of a Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority.
On the same day, Bangalore metro phase I, also funded by AFD through a EUR 310 million loan (INR 2170 cr), was inaugurated by Hon'ble President of India Pranab Mukherjee. The metro network will ease traffic congestion, reduce pollution and promote low-carbon mobility.
French companies have played a key role in both projects. Presently, 15 French firms are operational in the transport sector in India and rapidly expanding their market presence for rolling stocks, tracks, traction system, signalling and telecom. Transportation and urban development are key sectors of the strategic partnership between India and France.

Q: ASP.NET: How to access parent list item element from linkbutton? I have the following situation...

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server">Link</asp:LinkButton>

I'm wanting to be able to set the class (or add to the class attribute) of my list item when I click on the button.  So once I click on the LinkButton I want the code to change to something like the following...

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server">Link</asp:LinkButton>

Thanks!

A: It is better to perform this on the server, as the response will re-render the page. Thus, making JavaScript changes non-applicable:
Dim parent As HtmlControl = LinkButton1.Parent
parent.Attributes("class") = "selected"

A: using jquery it can be as easy as this

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#<%=LinkButton1.ClientId %>").addClass(localStorage.style);
});

    $("#<%=LinkButton1.ClientId %>").click(function () {
          $(this).parent("li").addClass("selected");
           localStorage.style="selected";
        });

The graph shows per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in China until 2017, with forecasts until 2023. In 2017, per capita GDP ranged at around 8,643 U.S. dollars in China. That year, the overall GDP of China had amounted to 12.01 trillion U.S. dollars.
Gross domestic product is a commonly-used economic indicator for measuring the state of a country's economy. GDP is the total market value of goods and services produced in a country within a given period of time, usually a year. Per capita GDP is defined as the GDP divided by the total number of people in the country. This indicator is generally used to compare the economic prosperity of countries with varying population sizes.
In 2010, China overtook Japan and became the world's second-largest economy. As of 2012, it was the largest exporter and the second largest importer in the world. However, one reason behind its economic strength lies within its population size. China has to distribute its wealth among over 1.3 billion people. By 2014, China's per capita GDP was only about one seventh as large as that of main industrialized countries. When compared to other emerging markets, China ranked third among BRIC countries in terms of GDP per capita, followed only by India.
According to projections by the IMF, per capita GDP in China will escalate from around 3,740 U.S. dollars in 2009 to 10,586 U.S. dollars in 2019. Possible reasons for this are the soaring economy and low population growth. China's economic structure is also undergoing changes. A major trend lies in the shift from an industry-based to a service-based economy.
How important are savings of individual citizens for the development of the country?


I think the 'caring about the why' ship has long since sailed.
Probably not, you're kinda thick.
I would suggest an uptick in stress brought upon him by making 2 major life altering changes. Starting a new job whilst also moving cross country. Either of those in isolation would be stress benders but combined it appears it overcame his impulse control. Not making excuses and may well be off the mark but that is my take.
He also said something about going off his meds. No idea what meds, but that could account for a lot.
He later admitted to lying about the meds to get sympathy.
"'Wretch!' I said. 'It is well that you come here to whine over the desolation that you have made. You throw a torch into a pile of buildings, and when they are consumed, you sit among the ruins and lament the fall. Hypocritical fiend! If he whom you mourn still lived, still would he be the object, again would he become the prey, of your accursed vengeance. It is not pity that you feel; you lament only because the victim of your malignity is withdrawn from your power.'"
Speaking of Jonas, I met his cousin, the author Michael Stackpole today. Nice guy.
I don't wander out of General Discussion much so I totally missed this. Our community has dwindled quite a bit and Jonas was a somewhat frequent poster. I'm really opposed to these types of bans. They hurt us more then they help us.
Sure, take away his moderator status, I have no problem there but outside of spammers, a perm ban should never be an option. Let there be a couple days or a week long cooling off period. Ban again for short periods as necessary.
A perm ban is a nuclear option, this is crazy.
Then you have no idea whats going on and should go away.
Wow Dude, harsh! Lighten up, life is too short.
What I do know is that someone who used to post frequently in General Discussion hasn't been and although I saw the orange tag by his name, I thought it was some kind of a joke since he was a mod and all. I'm just now coming to find out that he will be gone at least a year and that just isn't right.
What Nadiar said stands, valas. It sounds like you haven't read the thread.
I've read both of them before I posted.
I think people should be entitled to pst their opinions here without being attacked regardless of how you feel about those opinions folks. As long as its civil and rational everyone should feel they can talk about mod decisions here without being jumped on.
It is kind of absurd to categorize dissenting opinions as attacking the individual on a discussion board.
edit: Also, I just realized what I said earlier may have been misconstrued to mean you should leave the site. I'm just saying if you don't know the details, you should ask for details, or not contribute an opinion that will confuse the problem. Hence "get out of the thread"

I agree he abused his Mod status and without question, that should be revoked.
To me the problem comes in anytime we go for a long ban when all that is needed is a cooling off period. I get it that his throwing a tantrum is not helping his case with you but I suggest that the problem is with the use of "perm" bans at all.
I don't have a problem with a short suspension for a few days, to allow for a cooling off period and then use additional short suspensions as necessary.

What About Theocracy?: Part 2
Sep 3, 2008 by American Vision Leave a Comment
Plenty of evidence from daily news sources plus personal experience has persuaded many that our culture is coming unglued. But agreement ends on the question of the cause of the coarsening values and the definition of the moral yardstick being violated. Is it God's or man's standard? In the final analysis, unless a polarized nation figures it out and begins to obey God and trusts in Him and not men, society's moral unraveling means a political and spiritual tragedy of Katrina-like proportions. The lies of "theocracy-threat" con men are a clear and present danger to consensus because their true intention is that a Godly, society-saving new direction must never be attained.
With this in mind I have a personal story. It underscores the theocracy threat message foisted on us by leftist activists in media, education and even by groups of left-liberal Christians. (These were well-described here last Friday by Joel McDurmon.) Last week I suggested that, post Saddleback, James Dobson might begin leaning toward McCain, and in fact he's now 100% on board. So "you ain't seen nuthin' yet" per the depth and power of the anti-theocracy campaign certain to go into high gear with the VP choice of the evangelical Gov. Sarah Palin. I hope my story illustrates why you need to pay attention.
In 1967, as a single Army officer in Viet Nam, I extended my tour by 9 months. A happy benefit was a 30 day leave. But once back home in Michigan, I was treated, unhappily, to nightly news distortions by the networks and media guru Walter Cronkite as they harangued against the U.S. presence in SE Asia. This was shocking since I, from my vantage point in Saigon where I played a small role in initiatives to "win hearts and minds," believed things were going pretty well. Over and above his single-minded focus on casualty figures and body bags, my main discovery about "the most trusted man in America" was how media was using the pro-victory passion of most Americans as an excuse to imply that they were dangerously stupid in all sorts of other areas too. Being pro-war meant that despised conservatives were equally likely to be guilty as follows:
As a group and by definition, conservatives are automatically knee-jerk patriots, pro-war, pro-draft and pro big government intrusion into private lives—ala 1930's Germany. We also upped Cold War tensions by opposing conciliation with the Soviets. The media were tireless in undermining traditional values and implied that "you anti-feminist, right-wing, eco-despoiling, racist bigots" should wake up to the pro-pacifist spirit of 1960's Marxism as displayed in liberal academe, media, and Beltway circles where the "best and the brightest" lived. The beautiful people exemplified love, peace, and "do your own thingism," while we were pilloried as moral has-beens. And, oh yes, God was dead too. Being conservative meant you'd never appreciate the likes of hippy, acid-dropping Timothy Leary, who, with others, wanted us to "turn on, tune in and drop out" either attitudinally or via drugs. When my leave was up, so intense and blatant had been the received media innuendos that while looking out the window at 30,000 feet, high above northern Lake Huron (and directly over the site of my month's leave and also where this article chances to be written), I won't forget my relief as I headed back to Viet Nam where greater truths still prevailed and genuine headway was being made in giving a decent and trusting people a chance at freedom. Which is not "the way it is" there today. But what you must remember is that this media campaign of lies was highly effective in "programming" a naïve populace, and the damage done to our national psyche still remains 40 years later. Lies do work.
Now to the main point: For those "guilty" of the above charges, the media-abetted left wasted no time inventing a value-loaded, short-cut word by which they falsely labeled the countrymen they saw as being the real enemy. And the term was used with a timing, venom and cleverness as tough to counter as the inference in, "when did you stop beating your wife?" The word I refer to, and was the frequent victim of, both in and out of uniform, was "fascist." A lot of hate went into that word as it was used to intimidate and silence. It also illustrates the ad hominem fallacy at its best; or in this case, at its worst.
And so it is today. "Theocrat" is on track to become the direct successor clone of "fascist," and though it seems to be working, we must not let it. It's thwarting the uninformed and timid, and those who would and could be God's activist remnant; those who, with pastoral guidance, could help (as with Gideon's 300) to restore decency and direction to the land. It's a challenge we can't ignore as we recall the enormity of the "fascism" slogan's successful dirty work then in weakening national resolve, in leaving Viet Nam communist, in seeing 50,000 young men dead for what, and creating a nation that remains bitterly divided politically and philosophically. Even in 2008, 1960's trained professors are still teaching today's teachers to fling "no God, no absolutes, if-it-feels-good-do-it, the U.S. and Christianity are the enemy" lies at impressionable minds.
I can't stop without first equipping you with the true definition of theocracy so you can counter the contrived charge that Christians lust to usher in a "dictatorial theocracy." You'll recall that theocracy means "rule by God." So, when bad men—even if they say they're Christians, Jews, Muslims or Humanists—set up, by force, brutal governments in the name of some deity (man, actually), then the correct pejorative title for that rule is not theocracy, but ecclesiocracy, or civil rule with some sort of sham religious theme. (Secularism is also a religion.) But theocracy pertains exclusively to the fact that all 7 billion of us live on a planet in which the Trinitarian God already rules, 100%, over every man, woman, rock, molecule and atom.
This cosmic, indisputable fact takes "theocracy" totally off the table as a threat and as a psychological weapon. When good Christians are accused of being "theocrats" by the God-haters, our response is, first, to be aware that their pretend concern is not about saving the Constitution or insuring that freedom won't go the way of the buggy whip because of a mob of frothing-at-the-mouth Christians. It's about their pathological hatred of God and how to erase Him from the public mind. Second, the rule that good Christians are most interested in re-instating is the toughest one of all, "self-ocracy." That is, self-government, combined with self-reliance. Without self-government not even millions of rules will bring world honesty, civility and peace. Third, God intends for us as his agents to achieve the Great Commission and the Cultural Mandate. So, yes, we want His precepts, His standards, to prevail across the earth. But this means we will persuade, not dictate; teach by example, not by edict; lead from the bottom up, not from the top down, and convince those around us to voluntarily see the truth of the Gospel and covet to share it—happily—along with us. Every time you hear a "theocracy threat" pejorative it's time for a letter to the editor, phone call to a call-in show or letter to your pastor asking him to help clarify the argument.

Social Inbox Aggregator For Enterprise PLM?
The market of social is growing up. Social software is trying to get into enterprise space too. Engineering and Manufacturing companies are definitely in the spot. Today, communication is mostly Emial and data sharing is mostly Excel. What will come next?
I found an interesting summary in the blog post written by Jeremiah Owyang (Customer Strategy) and Ray Wang(Enterprise Strategy), Industry Analysts at the Altimeter Group. Here is the list of Enterprises SIAs.
I specially liked Gist.Their product accumulates and aggregate multiple social information streams. Take a look on the following video.
What is my take? Business relationships are important. An ability to save some time and communicate can be very valuable. Manufacturing is complicated. SIA tools may be an interesting option to collaborate to them.

The InCommon Certificate Service, created by and for the higher education community, provides unlimited SSL/TLS and client certificates for one low membership fee. This includes unlimited Organizational Validation (OV) SSL/TLS certificates, Extended Validation (EV) SSL/TLS certificates, client (or personal) certificates, and code-signing certificates.
The higher education community developed this service to reduce the cost of certificates to campuses. Because InCommon is a non-profit, community-driven organization, the program provides value and benefits to the subscribers (rather than providing profit for the certificate provider). The program offers unlimited certificates for a single annual fee, which is expected to reduce the cost of certificates for many institutions.
Comodo is the certification authority and InCommon has contracted with Comodo for deep discounts that are made available to colleges and universities. As a commercial certification authority, Comodo has extensive knowledge of the marketplace and attractive features. Comodo has been operating a similar service with TERENA, the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association. TERENA's positive association with Comodo, and its significant software development using the Comodo APIs, made this partnership attractive to InCommon and Internet2.
Any higher education institution with its primary location in the United States, who qualifies for a domain in the .edu name space, may subscribe, as well as not-for-profit regional research and education networking organizations in the United States. Subscribers must be InCommon participants or must join InCommon to be eligible for the Certificate Service.
Not-for-profit regional research and education networking organizations with primary offices in the United States that are not housed within an otherwise eligible educational institution may join this program by paying an annual fee of $2,000. No further discounts are applicable to this fee. In all cases, participation in this program is solely to allow the organization to acquire certificates for staff within that organization and for servers and services operated directly by the organization. Participation explicitly excludes the ability for the organization to issue certificates to members of the organization or to resell the service to members of the organization. This fee also applies to any non-Carnegie classified organizations who qualify for participation (i.e., organizations in the United States who currently have a .edu domain). All participating organizations must still join InCommon as is required for all participants in this program.
Yes. You must join InCommon but you don't need to use the federated identity services.
No, but we are investigating using federated identity management to simplify access to the InCommon Certificate Manager (CM).
This program is an extension of the trust services already being provided and managed by InCommon, and will require InCommon resources, including staff time and effort. In particular, implementation of this program will take advantage of the Registration Authority (RA) already managed by InCommon for establishing a trust services infrastructure with participants.
Please see the official fee schedule. Internet2 members receive a 25 percent discount.
InCommon is wholly owned by Internet2, and Internet2 is providing the initial capital required to launch the program.
There is a Certificate Service Subscriber Agreement stored in our document repository. The Subscriber Agreement is an addendum to the InCommon Participation Agreement. InCommon participation is required to take advantage of the certificate service.
Initially, institutions are required to commit to participation for an initial term of three (3) years, with the certificate service fee billed annually.
InCommon operates the Registration Authority, leveraging its current processes for verifying organizations and identity proofing officials authorized to act on behalf of an institution for certificate issuance. These individuals may be the same or different than the current InCommon administrators. It is expected that at each institution a small number of people (typically two or three) will be authorized to manage the overall institutional certificate program.
Once an institution authorizes specific individuals, they will use the InCommon Certificate Manager (or the API) for requesting individual certificates. InCommon is, by design, not in the path of certificate issuance or revocation (or even in the path of authorizing second-level personnel), only the vetting of the top-level certificate program administrators and the domains they are authorized to administer.
Comodo hosts both a GUI (called the InCommon Certificate Manager, or CM) and an API to their service for certificate issuance, management of second-level personnel and institutional policies for certificate structure, as well as support in matters such as certificate revocation.
The CM is the web-based interface used to request and manage your certificates.
An RAO is not permitted to create another RAO account. Only an MRAO may create an RAO account.
Typically, the RAOs for an organization are appointed at the time the organization subscribes to the Certificate Service. To later add another RAO account (up to a maximum of three RAOs), the vetting process described on the Certificate Service subscription page is followed.
For security reasons, we no longer issue certificates with 1024-bit keys. Comodo will no longer accept Certificate Signing Requests generated with keys of less than 2048 bits. Existing 1024-key certificates may be used until they expire (but at your own risk of course).
Yes, private label CAs are available under our agreement with Comodo. Intermediate CAs with campus-specific profiles and practice statements are available to members who desire this functionality for an additional cost.
This functionality is anticipated for a later release of the program based upon demand from the InCommon community. Our agreement with Comodo allows for cross-signing of other CAs at an additional cost.
The InCommon Certificate Service provides for unlimited Organizational Validation (OV) SSL/TLS certificates and unlimited Extended Validation (EV) SSL/TLS certificates.
See the CA/Browser Forum FAQ for definitions of these general terms.
No, the InCommon Certificate Service does not issue Domain Validation (DV) SSL/TLS certificates, which are the lowest form of SSL/TLS certificate. Instead, we issue Organizational Validation (OV) SSL/TLS certificates and Extended Validation (EV) SSL/TLS certificates.
Note that all OV SSL/TLS certificates are domain validated. Likewise, all EV SSL/TLS certificates are organizationally validated. So in that sense, all SSL/TLS certificates issued by the InCommon Certificate Service are domain validated.
Any domains administered by the institution (e.g., a professional society with a .org domain or even a .com domain) can qualify, as long as the institution can prove that it is the administrative manager for that domain. The key requirement is that the institution be the administrator of record for these domains and organizations.
The certificate program allows institutions to issue so-called wild-card certificates. Traditionally, a primary advantage of wild-card certificates has been to allow a reduction of the number of certificates purchased. Given that in this program there is no longer a price penalty for issuance of additional SSL/TLS certs, institutions may wish to reconsider the use of wild-card certificates, as it is generally believed that such certificates reduce security due to the extra burden of managing private keys in multiple locations.
A browser would reject an SSL/TLS certificate if the root certificate was not contained in the browser's trusted certificate store. Certificates issued by the InCommon Certificate Service are rooted in a CA certificate trusted by all known browsers. Therefore this is almost certainly not the problem.
Is your SSL/TLS certificate rejected by multiple browsers, say, three or more browsers not all on the same platform? Then most likely the SSL/TLS certificate and its private key have not been installed on the server, at least not correctly. Read your server documentation carefully, paying special attention to any recommended security practices.
Is your SSL/TLS certificate rejected by some browsers and not by others? Then it's almost certainly the case that the intermediate CA certificate in the certificate chain has not been configured correctly on the server. (A certificate issued by the InCommon Certificate Service has a chain length of three, with one intermediate CA certificate.) Consult your server documentation how to install the intermediate CA certificate on the server.
As it turns out, you can save yourself some time by not using a browser for testing purposes. The reason for this is discussed in subsequent FAQ entries. Some tools that have been found useful for testing are also mentioned.
See the InCommon Certificate Types for answers to this and similar questions.
No, you do not need to install any certificates in the browser. The AddTrust External CA Root certificate, which is required for browser access, ships with all known browsers. In general, intermediate CA certificates are passed from the server to the browser as needed, so yes, there is a CA certificate bundle that needs to be installed on the server, but not in the browser.
If you are a site administrator testing a new server configuration, there is one caveat, however. Some browsers (such as Firefox) will store intermediate CA certificates received from a server in the browser's certificate store, so unless you're careful, you may be tricked into believing your server is configured correctly when in fact it's not. Be sure to remove intermediate CA certificates from your browser's certificate store before testing your server configuration.
In either case, if certificate validation succeeds, you know your server is configured correctly. Note that /etc/ssl/certs/ and AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt contain root certificates only; no intermediate CA certificates are included.
You can also use the COMODO SSL Analyzer to test a server installation.
A subscriber to the InCommon Certificate Service may issue unlimited client certificates for no additional fee.
Three key usage types of Standard Assurance Client Certificates are available to subscribers: signing-only, encryption-only, and dual-use client certificates.
Use cases that involve the long-term encryption of data or documents raise the issue of key backup and recovery. Accordingly, key escrow, a service offered for no additional fee to subscribers of the InCommon Certificate Service, provides for backup storage of users' private keys.
Currently, we offer only Standard Assurance Client Certificates. The InCommon PKI subcommittee will ensure that future client certificate types align with emerging InCommon Identity Assurance Profiles (Bronze/Silver).
Yes, code-signing certificates are available, and they are included in the base price as well.
This issue is discussed further in the Comodo knowledgebase.

Sale overview
HONG KONG – The sale was a confident display for the pan-Asian platform of Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art that Christie's has built. In total, 11 new world auction records for the artists were set and the sale was Christie's 2nd highest total for an evening sale in Asia.
The auction opened with enthusiastic bidding from both the floor and overseas collectors vying for Southeast Asian modern and contemporary works. From the start, new records were set for Singapore artist Cheong Soo Pieng (1917-1983) with his Making Up depiction of a Chinese opera artist. The momentum continued with Victorio Edades's (1895-1985) American Football Player and Nguyen Phan Chanh's (1892-1984) La vendeuse de betel (The Betel Nut Seller). Le Pho's (1907-2001) View from the Hilltop set a new world record for both the artist and any work of Vietnamese 20th century and contemporary art at auction.
To date, the sale was one of the strongest showings we have had for Asian art across geographies, from Southeast to North Asia. Japanese Gutai works from Asian's first avant-garde movement and Korean artists had exceptional results. In addition, since its inclusion in this category three years ago, Southeast Asian works have also grown from strength to strength and have truly expanded beyond their geographic boundaries to gain acceptance from a wider audience. 20th century Chinese masters like Sanyu continue to be highly sought after. It is encouraging to see that great Asian art continues to resonate with art lovers everywhere, with interest growing among a younger generation of collectors," said Eric Chang, Deputy Chairman of Christie's Asia and International Director of Christie's Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art Department.

Using a duplexing printer (one that automatically handles double-sided printing) with ClickBook is easy. ClickBook sends out only one print job for both the front and back sides, so you skip the step of reinserting the printout stack and then printing the second print job.
ClickBook will automatically setup printers that automatically duplex during the installation.
2. Open ClickBook then go to File> Printer Setup..
3. Choose your printer model from the Printer list.
5. Make sure 'Automatic' or 'Reverse' is selected in the 'Duplexing' section.
Note: Some printers interpret the duplex request differently. For certain printers the portrait layouts on portrait paper like 4-Up Book (folded) rotate differently than portrait layouts on landscape paper like the Side-by-Side (folded) layout. If only one of these layouts is upside-down on the back side, choose the "By Layout Fix" option.

Be sure to print out the Activities Checklist and complete the action items for points. You will be asked to submit this checklist to Employee Wellness at the end of the program for credit.
Personal Health Record Activity #1: Getting Started. To get started on completing your Aetna online Personal Health Record (PHR) simply login to www.aetna.com.
From the home page click on "Personal Health Record" located under the Stay Healthy menu.
This week's goal is to complete the Personal Information, Emergency Contact and Insurance sections.
Many of the common conditions we face in life aren't life threatening, or debilitating in the long run. But, these common conditions are almost always discomforting and troublesome. These two chapters will discuss things you can do to reduce your chances of getting these illnesses and self-care techniques to help find relief.
Begin this week by reading Chapters 1 & 2 in the Self-Care Essentials book.
Personal Health Record Activity #2: Review Your Immunization Records. Your goal for this week is to login to the Aetna online Personal Health Record and review the "Immunizations" section listed under "See All PHR History".
Though aches and pains are a common part of life, we don't have to resign ourselves to suffering with them. There are a number of resources and strategies to help prevent aches and pains from occurring – as well as speed healing when they do occur.
Begin this week by reading Chapter 3 in the Self-Care Essentials book.
Personal Health Record Activity #3: Review your Health Resources. Your Aetna online Personal Health Record (PHR) can also help you find helpful information and tools to manage your health.
Your goal for this week is to login to the Aetna online Personal Health Record and review the "Find Health Resources" section.
Science tells us we often inherit a predisposition to certain chronic diseases like heart disease and high blood pressure from our family members. But we also "inherit" learned health behaviors like unhealthy eating habits, cigarette smoking, and sedentary living from the family members we spend time with as a young person.
And it is often these learned behaviors that contribute to the development of chronic disease. For instance, children who are raised with parents who do not regularly exercise are less likely to be physically active as adults when compared to children brought up in a family that participates in regular exercise and recreational activities.
That said, adults should aim to be healthy role models for the young people in their lives. Encourage family walks, healthy snacking, good sleep habits, and an overall healthy lifestyle and you will help place young people on a path to lifelong good health and well-being.
Begin this week by reading Chapter 4 in the Self-Care Essentials book.
Your goal for this week is to login to the Aetna online Personal Health Record and review the "Vitals & Trackers" section listed under "See all PHR History".
Speaking of Medications…Once you have your list of medications completed, consider cleaning out your medication cabinet. In fact, make it a semi-annual habit to sort through the over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications on hand and discard expired drugs. It is also a good time to restock your supply of staple OTC meds like pain relievers that you like to keep on hand for minor injuries and illnesses. Nobody likes heading out in the middle of the night or when you feel lousy to purchase these types of items. It is all part of being prepared for medical self-care.
Begin this week by reading Chapter 5 in the Self-Care Essentials book. It is also recommended you go back and review Dancing with Your Doctor on pages 16 and 17.
Your goal for this week is to login to the Aetna online Personal Health Record and add/update the "Health Team", "Family History" (optional) and "Medications" section listed under "See all PHR History". Enter facts about the doctors, dentists and others who help care for your health. You can also list pharmacies you use. You may find names here who are not your usual health providers. These people may have provided care behind-the-scenes.
Bonus points for scheduling your annual physical or preventive biometric screening with your PCP.
Bonus points for completing your online health assessment. Online Health Assessment Instructions.
Now that your Personal Health Record is complete, save and print a copy then find a spot where it is readily accessible to you, as well as, family and friends. More important than finding the right location is to make sure that you let others know where they can locate it if you are unable to communicate with them.
Consider storing it with other important documents in your office or in a desk drawer. Or designate a kitchen or bedroom drawer for a printed copy of your PHR, as well as, your Self-Care Essentials book. Let others know and be sure to update your manual on a regular basis so that loved ones and care providers will have the most up-to-date information to guide their health care decision making process for you.
Begin this week by reading Chapters 6 & 7 in the Self-Care Essentials book.
Personal Health Record (PHR) Activity #6: Print Emergency Card under your PHR.
Personal Health Record Activity #7: Print and Save your PHR.
Your goal for this week is to login to the Aetna online PHR and add/update the Emergency Card and Print and Save your PHR.
Bonus points for sharing your Personal Health Record with your Primary Care Physician.
If you have not completed all of the items on the checklist, take some time now to do so. Don't forget to submit your Activities Checklist to Employee Wellness within 30 days of completing the program.
Don't stop there, however. Use the information in your Personal Health Record to monitor your health status over time and to empower you to take an active role in your ongoing health and health care decisions.


Hands up I admit it, I'm 26 and I've never roasted a chicken in my life.
I always buy chicken breasts as I'm terrified of trying to cook a chicken and killing everyone or something.
I have a chicken, he's in my fridge just now destined for the oven on Friday.
What do I do? Need a basic idiots guide from taking him out of the plastic to serving him and all steps in between. Does foil feature? I vaguely remember mother doing something with butter on the skin, and pulling bags of grossness out of the cavity. She also had a thermometer to stick in his bum but I don't have anything that fancy.
He's 2.348kg(quite a big guy for the 2 of us). Please help me.

The cooking instructions will be on the label, but to be honest I just stick it in the oven at 200 till the juices run clear.
This is just how I do it, rightly or wrongly!!
After taking the chicken out of the wrapping I rinse it under the cold tap, inside and out then drain it on some kitchen towel.
At the high end of the top of the chicken it is possible to get a flat palm between the skin and the breat meat. If you are happy to do this make a pocket under the skin with your fingers being careful not to break through the skin as you go and fill with a THIN layer of butter.
I put some mixed herbs, salt and pepper over the top then a couple of rashers of bacon. I usually put a whole lemon into the cavity for flavour aswell. Make sure you peirce the lemon with a fork several times before putting it into the chicken as exploding lemon is no fun.......I found that out the hard way!!
Put the chicken into a roasting pan and put into the oven when it reaches the correct teperature.
I usually allow about 1.5 hours but do check on it a few times and adjust the temperature if needed. When you think it is cooked stick a skewer into the deepest parts of the fleash, if the juices which come out are clear then its cooked!!
All the best with your first roast chicken!!

You make it sound so easy! I'm so scared of chicken it's really quite pathetic.
Really, dont be. You will be fine and I am sure others here will have many more hints and tips to give you aswell.
Hi Sparklewing you'll be fine!!
Now does it have a cooking time in a little circle on the front of the package?? Often now they have 'cooks in 1hr 10mins' etc somewhere on the front.
What sort of oven do you have? Gas or electric and is it a fan or normal oven.
this will also come in useful to me as i dont have any idea how to cook a chicken either!!
i am having to do all the cooking now as my H has injured his hand and cant cook.. so its a real learning curve for me to !!!
Rinse inside and out (be careful to wipe up any splashes near the sink with hot, soapy water).
Most chickens nowadays are sold gutted so there should be an empty cavity inside it. Cut a lemon in half and stick it up its bum. Peel a few cloves of garlic and shove those up there too.
Slice some thin slivers of garlic. Make tiny slits in the chicken skin all over with a sharp knife and push in the slivers of garlic. Rub all over with olive oil and sprinkle over a thick layer of mixed herbs. Cover loosely with silver foil and put in a pre-heated oven. Cooking time depends on the weight obviously, but the label should give you some idea. A chicken for two people normally takes at least an hour and a half, plus 20 minutes standing time (take out of oven and leave covered to allow the juices to settle in the meat). Make sure the juices run clear before you serve it (also, you can stick a knife in between the leg and side to check if the meat is cooked). During the cooking time, make sure you baste a couple of times(ie, drizzle the juices and oil that have collected in the roasting tin over the chicken).
Really, it's easy. Once you've done it once or twice, you'll realise a roast is really a very easy meal. Once you've prepped, made sure the chicken and roast potatoes are in the oven and the veg is ready to go, you can b*gger off down the pub for a couple of hours and come back to a lovely meal!
It's an electric oven no fan but it tends to speed cook stuff. It DOES have a time on it! Who'd have thunk it 2hrs 10 minutes apparently.
If they are there they will be in a plastic bag inside the cavity, not many chickens are sold with them nowadays...a shame as they make lovely gravy.
Leaving a chicken in the fridge until cooking it on Friday is a bit too long, in my opinion. Do you have a freezer? If so, I'd bung it in there and get it out again on Thursday evening, if the meal is for Friday night's dinner.
Roasting a chicken is easypeasy (when you've done it a time or two!) Have you a friend or relative nearby who would actually prepare and cook one in front of you so that you get the opportunity of seeing first hand how it's done. Sometimes being shown is much easier than trying to follow written instructions but worrying about it! Good luck and I'm sure it will be fine.
I never wash my chicken as you can spread any bacteria much more easily by splashing the water around/drips etc - saw it on a programme recently It was about turkey but the principle is the same.
All I do with mine is take it from its packaging, sling it in a roasting dish, rub butter on the skin and a sprinkle of salt (or a chicken oxo cube is scrummy), shove 2 bay leaves and sometimes an onion up its bum and in the oven it goes. I rarely use foil.
I put it on 200c for 20 mins per 500g plus 20 mins.
Don't be scared of cooking a roast chicken - once you are used to it you can eat rubber chicken for a week !!!!!!!!!
Other flavours I like are a few garlic cloves and a lemon split in half popped inside before roasting.
How can you tell when the juices run clear as stupid as it sounds I can't really tell the difference? It always looks pinky brown to me even when it's definately cooked.
No-one I can watch unfortunately.
I thought you weren't supposed to wash poultry. Someone (was it Anthea or someone else?) said that this spread germs around the kitchen and cooking would kill any germs on the bird in any case.
I like to stick a lemon in the cavity, or you can stick a peeled onion in if that's what you've got.
I used to be terrified of cooking chicken thinking there must be something terrible difficult about it, but you basically remove all the packaging, read the label, stick it in the oven (with as much or as little faffing about as you want), cook for the allotted time, check the juices are clear, leave to rest for 10-15 minutes, carve, and eat.
It's nearly as easy to roast a chicken as to stick a ready meal in the oven!
As long as you keep both raw and cooked chicken at a safe temperature, wrap them securely, NEVER store them next to each other and wash yourself and utensils thoroughly after use, you really are not in much danger of killing yourself or anyone else by cooking chicken I never ever bother with all that rinsing the carcase out malarkey. Actually its a damn shame that most fresh birds now come without the " unspeakable bits " - they are the giblets and they can be simmered to make stock for the basis of a lovely gravy !!
Good luck with it ! hope you will make stock/soup with the carcase - pick as many scraps as you can off it first to go in the soup later, and don't forget to pick meat off the back - people often don't bother but there are lots of tasty little scraps to be had there !

" Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams.. "
Wednesdays dinner will be fantastical thank you very much.
Plan is to have roast Wednesday, Fahjitas Thurs, curry Friday and possibly a pie if I can eke it out enough.
How long can I keep the leftovers in the fridge? Should I freeze the chicken for the curry and pie and take them out to defrost the night before I plan to cook them? and is it a case of throwing the thawed cooked chicken into whatever I'm cooking and making sure it's toasty hot before eating or would I be better blasting the defrosted chicken in the microwave until burny hot and then adding to whatever I'm cooking?
i'm nearly 20-10 and i've never roasted a joint either!!! i always buy ready cooked or them joint pieces that you just shove in the oven in the tin foil!!


What's trending in video in 2019?
It's time to put the cheese platter away, have a proper shower and get all of that beach salt out of your hair and head back to work. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But what is exciting is that a new year brings new ideas, trends and possibilities. And in our world of video content, that gets us pumped up. In 2018 we saw the use of video explode for both individuals and companies. The popularity in Instagram Stories and Instagram TV saw everyman and his dog (literally) creating their own broadcast channel with just the use of their phone. So what's next? We had a look into the Clothesline crystal ball and this is what we reckon.
Way more live Q&A and AMA.
Reddit started the "Ask Me Anything" format and it went nuts! Who doesn't want to know what Gwyneth Paltrow had for breaky? Online Q&As have brought people together to geek out on topics they care about and be able to form a connection with the host. This connection is really the important aspect of this new medium. Every day joe shmoe's can hear from and communicate with people that they generally wouldn't be able to. And visa versa. This isn't going away anytime soon.
We're all about sharing free content here at Clothesline, we're all in this together as Ben Lee said. However, if you've spent a years building up a captive audience, you might want to consider charging for some of your educational content. People are happy to pay for good content which is valuable to them. But make sure that your video is produced well. It's hard to learn when you're watching a video that has bad audio and is ever so slightly out of focus.
-51% of marketing professionals worldwide name video as the type of content with the best ROI.
-Marketers who use video grow revenue 49% faster than non-video users.
-By 2019, internet video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer Internet traffic.
So get excited people! 2019 may be the year of the pig but it's definitely also the year of the video. So if you haven't given video a shot now's the time and if you need advice on how to go about it, drop us a line.

Covert operations: Your brain digitally remastered for clarity of thought /
Current page: Covert operations: Your brain digitally remastered for clarity of thought
Stephen LaConte
The sweep of a needle across the grooves of a worn vinyl record carries distinct sounds: hisses, scratches, even the echo of skips. For many years, though, those yearning to hear Frank Sinatra sing "Fly Me to the Moon" have been able to listen to his light baritone with technical clarity, courtesy of the increased signal-to-noise ratio of digital remasterings.
Now, with advances in neurofeedback techniques, the signal-to-noise ratio of the brain activity underlying our thoughts can be remastered as well, according to the recent discovery of a research team led by Stephen LaConte, an assistant professor at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute.
LaConte and his colleagues specialize in real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging, a relatively new technology that can convert thought into action by transferring noninvasive measurements of human brain activity into control signals that drive physical devices and computer displays in real time. Crucially, for the ultimate goal of treating disorders of the brain, this rudimentary form of mind reading enables neurofeedback.
"Our brains control overt actions that allow us to interact directly with our environments, whether by swinging an arm or singing an aria," LaConte said. "Covert mental activities, on the other hand — such as visual imagery, inner language, or recollections of the past — can't be observed by others and don't necessarily translate into action in the outside world."
But, LaConte added, brain–computer interfaces now enable us to eavesdrop on previously undetectable mental activities.
In the recent study, the scientists used whole-brain, classifier-based real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging to understand the neural underpinnings of brain–computer interface control. The research team asked two dozen subjects to control a visual interface by silently counting numbers at fast and slow rates. For half the tasks, the subjects were told to use their thoughts to control the movement of the needle on the device they were observing; for the other tasks, they simply watched the needle.
The scientists discovered a feedback effect that LaConte said he had long suspected existed but had found elusive: the subjects who were in control of the needle achieved a better whole-brain signal-to-noise ratio than those who simply watched the needle move.
"When the subjects were performing the counting task without feedback, they did a pretty good job," LaConte said. "But when they were doing it with feedback, we saw increases in the signal-to-noise ratio of the entire brain. This improved clarity could mean that the signal was sharpening, the noise was dropping, or both. I suspect the brain was becoming less noisy, allowing the subject to concentrate on the task at hand."
The scientists also found that the act of controlling the computer–brain interface led to an increased classification accuracy, which corresponded with improvements in the whole-brain signal-to-noise ratio.
This enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, LaConte added, carries implications for brain rehabilitation. "When people undergoing real-time brain scans get feedback on their own brain activity patterns, they can devise ways to exert greater control of their mental processes," LaConte said. "This, in turn, gives them the opportunity to aid in their own healing. Ultimately, we want to use this effect to find better ways to treat brain injuries and psychiatric and neurological disorders."
"Dr. LaConte's discovery represents a milestone in the development of noninvasive brain imaging approaches with potential for neurorehabilitation," said Michael Friedlander, executive director of the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute and a neuroscientist who specializes in brain plasticity. "This research carries implications for people whose brains have been damaged, such as through traumatic injury or stroke, in ways that affect the motor system — how they walk, move an arm, or speak, for example. Dr. LaConte's innovations with real-time functional brain imaging are helping to set the stage for the future, for capturing covert brain activity and creating better computer interfaces that can help people retrain their own brains."
The study appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the article "Brain–computer interfaces increase whole-brain signal to noise," by T. Dorina Papageorgiou, an instructor of neurology at Baylor College of Medicine; Jonathan Lisinski, a research associate at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute; Monica McHenry, an associate professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Houston; Jason White, a research associate at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute; and LaConte, who, in addition to his position at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute, is an assistant professor in the Virginia Tech–Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences.

Iggy Azalea Says Britney Spears' People had to Search her House Before Lunch Date
Bianca Gracie
Spill The Tea
Iggy Azalea has been caught in an ever-growing web of feud rumors since the start of her career, but during an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, she squashed all the claims. First off, there is zero beef between her and Britney Spears.
"We're cool, we always have been. We never had a fight!" the 25-year-old rapper stated about her "Pretty Girls" co-star. On the flipside, though, I-G-G-Y also revealed that Spears' team (the popstar is under a strict conservatorship) searched her home for substances prior to recording the collaboration:
"They came and checked my place to make sure I wasn't trying to stash anything weird and, like, get it to her or something...to make sure I wasn't a bad influence. And I'm not. I passed the test! I mean, I don't have like a crack den."
If that tidbit wasn't enough of a bomb-dropper, Iggy continued to discuss her alleged feuds in a segment appropriately titled "Spill The Tea." When asked about Macklemore (who name-checked her on "White Privilege II"), she said "I don't think it was intended as a diss, but at least I would have been prepared when the headlines came out. Like, 'All right, at least I know what it is.' At least I wouldn't have been blindsided." C'mon, Macklemore—pick up the phone and call Iggy!
The "Team" artist also touched on her supposed beef with Nicki Minaj, who infamously shaded her lyric skills at the 2014 BET Awards. "I have just as many people on my credits as she does on hers. I know I write mine, and if she writes her, I believe her, too," Iggy said.
Despite being the center of too many beefs to keep track off, we applause the rapstress for always keeping her cool.

I have rarely been one to argue vehemently about the main tower collapses. Not that I believed their authenticity but because WTC VII and the Pentagon are easier targets. VII had no airplane and was 300 feet away. The Pentagon had only a 16 foot hole in it for 1/2 an hour.
If we can disprove either of those targets, then the more difficult challenge of WTC I and II becomes less difficult. Actually I think those targets have been disproved due to the science involved.
1) Howard Dean was well in first place until he questioned possible Bush complicity in 9/11. I do not think it was proper for Dean to publicly question Bush's involvement, I also find the mysteriously rapid disappearance of Deans popularity a bit puzzling. Seems that Kerry leapt from 5% to first place about time. My memory is a bit rusty.
2) Seems that a Congressperson that did question 9/11 lost her job pretty quickly.
3) Seems that not one Congressperson or Senator is willing to publicly question 9/11.
4) I do not know anyone who has studied 9/11 that is not highly suspicious. After all, 757s do not leave 16 foot holes in concrete walls etc, etc, etc.
HAD THEY BEEN FALLING THROUGH JUST AIR …. MIRACLE?? NOT REALLY.
Those falls were perfect implosions. Only one thing can do that--just as you state.
It is horrifying the resistance I find to these facts...both because the matter is so basic to what is going on ... 9-11 is the foundation for the blank checks and license to kill granted to a corrupt regime but the whole thing illustrates the woeful lacking of math and physics skills displayed by the typical American.
For the actual fall times to be accepted as "pancaking" (which would have required up to 95 seconds for the twin towers to fall) or the symmetry to be accepted as having been triggered by a non-symmetrical event or, in the case of # 7, newly invented "symmetrical debris" from 360 feet away is nuts.
The fastest possible fall for the roof of the 1360 foot towers to the ground would be 9.22 seconds in a vacuum...actually falling in 10.5 seconds as they did ... which can only be justified if explosives were pre-wired and managed by experts.....only....and, that should have every Americn screaming.

Today, the Federal Communications Commission voted to adopt FCC Chairman Pai's "Restoring Internet Freedom" proposal, walking away from the agency's longstanding commitment to protecting the Open Internet and ensuring that broadband providers do not discriminate against internet content or services. Chairman Pai's proposal to repeal the net neutrality rules is a deeply troubling and radical break from an almost 20 years of bipartisan FCC tradition of protecting the Open Internet.
The agency's new proposal downgrades broadband from a "telecommunications service" under Title II of the Communications Act, to a mere "information service." The Order eliminates the existing network neutrality rules ("no blocking, no throttling, and no fast lanes") that protected the Open Internet for two years. Millions of Americans expressed support for these rules by submitting comments with the FCC leading up to the 2015 Open Internet Order, and millions of Americans have opposed FCC Chairman Pai's proposal to roll back these rules since he announced it last spring.
"Today's vote is an unprecedented abdication of responsibility by the FCC to protect free expression online and to promote a free market for innovation. For almost 20 years and through agency leadership from both parties, the FCC has used its power to protect an Open Internet through net neutrality policies, rules, enforcement actions, and merger conditions. With this vote, Chairman Pai, Commissioner O'Reilly, and Commissioner Carr have not only left the American people without clear rules to protect an Open Internet, but also put us all at the mercy of local monopoly broadband providers like Comcast and Verizon to voluntarily commit to not harm competitors or maximize profits. We are grateful to Commissioners Clyburn and Rosenworcel for their steadfast and passionate defense of the 2015 rules. They continue to be champions for the public interest in their vocal opposition to this vote.
"The impact of this vote is clear. It is now legal for your broadband provider to block a legal website or service without consumer consent. It is now legal for broadband providers to set up their business to discriminate against some content and favor their own. This is not make believe or hysteria, but fact. Broadband providers have done it before and said publicly that they will do it again. By entirely eliminating its rules and oversight role, the FCC has effectively given broadband providers the green light to press forward with anticompetitive and anti-consumer business models. Chairman Pai has put his faith in the FTC, but Congress has not given the FTC authority to make brightline rules preventing blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization. All we are left with is big cable and telecommunications companies telling us to 'trust them' not to violate net neutrality principles.
"Other consequences will follow as broadband providers exploit their newfound power. Americans should worry about their broadband bills and the prices they pay for online applications and services rising not only because many areas lack broadband choice, but also because some sites and web services may have to pay for prioritized access online, ultimately passing those costs on to consumers. We don't know how far broadband providers will take this gatekeeper power. They have used it in video entertainment services, but what sector is next? Social media? Education? Home alarms and emergency services? Time will tell, as broadband providers now have the authority to normalize selling broadband like they sell cable television -- where the company decides where you can go online and sets packages and tiers which require more money to reach more of the internet. We have not seen this yet, but without net neutrality rules, it can become reality.

Not Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor or Ranveer Singh but it is Sanjay Leela Bhansali who decides who attends all Padmavati events!
In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum historical Padmavati, Deepika Padukone plays Rani Padmavati, a woman adored by her husband Maharawal Ratan Singh (Shahid Kapoor) while Sultan Alauddin Khilji (Ranveer Singh) gets obsessed with her beauty. As a woman with two men fighting over her on screen, in real life too, Deepika Padukone is facing an opposite issue – there have been reports that her two heroes Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are upset because she attended the event alone without informing them. We tell you what really happened.
