History and Goals of the Burney Society
The Burney Society honours Frances Burney d'Arblay (1752-1840), a woman who recorded everything from Johnsonian wit to George III's fits, from Evelina's entrance into the world to Napoleon's last stand. Her acute observations about her family, friends, and 18th-century society show us how much, and how little, life and literature have changed in two centuries.
Her works played an essential role in the development of the novel and made writing women respectable. Her four novels--Evelina, Cecilia, Camilla, and The Wanderer--influenced and inspired a generation of writers, led by Jane Austen, who repaid her predecessor with a tribute in Northanger Abbey. Burney's father suppressed all but one of her plays in her lifetime, but since the plays were first published as a collection in 1995, her ability as a playwright can now be appreciated. As we read her novels and diaries, we find ourselves drawn into her life, which spanned five reigns. We understand her, suffer with her (her account of a mastectomy without anaesthesia made medical history) and rejoice with her. Her powers of expression and observation make it seem as if she herself has stepped off the page and into the present.
For all these reasons, The Burney Society was founded in New Orleans by Paula Stepankowsky, Lucy Magruder, and Dr. Jacqueline Reid-Walsh. Membership now numbers about 120 in Great Britain, the United States, Canada, and Australia. The purpose of the society is to promote the study and appreciation of Burney's works and of the life and times of her and her family.

Print: Twelve Hundred Times CD package
CD package for Laura's album Twelve Hundred Times. Melbourne-based band Laura asked me to design their latest album package. Laura's music varies in tone and dynamic, but is always layered and textural. The microscopic image of volcanic ash was chosen to represent the themes on this album: "Post WW2 Poland/Europe. Determination and survival. Ash, betrayal, distrust, revenge." The cold greyscale colour and starkness amplifies these themes. I used a spot silver behind the ash image and for some of the text to enhance what would essentially be a black and white CD package.
Print: Dead Letters CD package
CD package for Sealight's EP titled Dead Letters. Sealight approached me to design the band's first CD. Sealight's music is light, textural, organic, and intimate, so I used an image I had taken on Fox Glacier in New Zealand for the cover. I expanded the image concept through the rest of design by incorporating the textural elements of the glacier. The 'lightness' was created naturally by the pale blues and greens of the glacier, and further realised with light-weight and -colour text.
Retouch: Subnormal CD artwork
The artwork for the Subnormal album Theory For Evolution required some heavy Photoshop work to create a fire that would do exactly what I had in mind. Several images of fire were purchased through online stock libraries. Because the images were from different photographers and different shoots, I needed to firstly colour correct them so they were identical in colour, contrast and tone. While this sound easy enough, it requires very carefully adjustment of contrast and colour hue. It it was off even by a little, it could be seen and the images could not be mixed together convincingly.
Print: Yes Maybe No CD Package
CD package design for Laura's EP Yes Maybe No. The band Laura asked me to design a package for their new EP "Yes Maybe No". I liked this project immediately because the title was so ambiguous and intriguing — my mind started thinking conceptually right away. The band had just returned to Australia from a tour across Europe, so I used photographs for the front and back cover which I had shot some years earlier from a plane window on my own trip to Europe.
Print: Subnormal CD package
CD Package design for heavy-rock band Subnormal. As this was the debut album for the band, I wanted to make the design simple, aggressive, and timeless. Something that wouldn't pigeon-hole the band into a certain look or style. As fire is one of the simplest, and rawest forms of power, I chose to use this as a theme throughout the CD package. The album title "Theory For Evolution" represents that as mankind, we are in an age where it is possible to map, or design, our own evolution.
Print: (Re)Capitulate CD package
CD package design for Laura's album (Re)Capitulate. The concept for this project was based on the nature of the album. This album is a live recording, so I chose to make the design raw and spontaneous, just as Laura's music is. As (Re)Capitulate contains songs from Laura's two previous albums, I wanted to represent this visually somehow. I achieved this by taking the child faces painted by artist Heidi Yardley from the covers of each of the two previous albums, and combining them into a single surreal face image.
Print: Kurosawa CD package
CD package design for Kurasowa's album Your Star Has Fallen Over. The concept for this CD package stems from photographs the band members had taken themselves while in France. Upon studying the images, I saw many were of different lighting sources or effects. I chose to run with the theme of 'light', as the images correlated with the title of the album. To make the photographs really pop I reworked them in Photoshop so they all sat on a completely black background.
Print: Avatar CD
CD package for Melbourne post-rockers Season. Season wanted a package design that was as mysterious and deep as their music. The images for the package were shot at the Tate Modern in London during The Weather Project by Olafur Eliasson. The images depict a semi-aplocalyptic dream world, at the same time feeling hot and dry, as well as wet and dense. These concepts worked perfectly with Season's music. The double gate fold design was distinguished among other releases at the time, and there are hidden graphics and text giving further clues to the package concept below the glued pages.

As a Canadian with a wife from Wisconsin, there is certainly never a shortage of cheese or beer in our house. This delicious soup incorporates both into a dish like nothing you've probably ever tasted before. This vegetable broth based soup is hearty, filling and delicious. With a bit of bite from the horseradish, and great depth of flavour thanks to the sauteed onion, garlic and roasted red pepper, this sharp cheddar and dark beer soup is a perfect dish to start off any meal.
Serve it with a hearty bread so your guests can clean the inside of their bowls – they'll be talking about it long after your meal is done.
In a heavy stockpot over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add onions and saute until onions are soft, about 5 minutes, then add garlic.
Cook for 3 minutes more, then stir in flour, and cook for 3 minutes more, stirring often.
Add stock slowly and stir to make sure all flour is dissolved. Add roasted peppers and beer and bring soup to a boil. Lower heat and simmer soup for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Take off heat, slowly stir in grated cheese and horseradish, then puree with a handheld immersion blender.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.


Mark Hunt shaking of the jet lag from a long flight, it's an honor to hold mitts for this uso!!
Mark Hunt has a huge fight scheduled for UFC 200.
"The Super Samoan" will welcome former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar to the Octagon in his first fight back in mixed martial arts since retiring from the sport back in 2011.
To prepare for the bout with Lesnar, Hunt has decided to get some training in with former rival and fellow Samoan and New Zealand native Ray Sefo.
Sefo and Hunt fought in an exciting K-1 World GP tournament in 2001 where Sefo ended up winning by unanimous decision.
Sefo says that Hunt "still hits like a mule," which is evident in his many UFC knockouts.
Who are you picking to win the UFC heavyweight match between Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt? Share your prediction for the fight with us in the comment section!

Q: Derivation of the Energy of the Scalar Field I am trying to derive the energy of the scalar field by substituting the field expression:
$$\phi\left(x\right)=\int\frac{d^{3}k}{\left(2\pi\right)^{3}2\omega_{k}}\left[a\left(k\right)e^{-ikx}+a^{\dagger}\left(k\right)e^{ikx}\right]$$
into the Hamiltonian
$$H=\frac{1}{2}\int\left[\left(\partial_{0}\phi\right)^{2}+\left(\boldsymbol{\nabla}\phi\right)^{2}+m^{2}\phi^{2}\right]d^{3}x.$$
The result is $$H=\int\frac{d^{3}k}{\left(2\pi\right)^{3}2k_{0}}\frac{k_{0}}{2}\left[N\left(k\right)+\frac{1}{2}\right]$$ where $N$ is the number operator.
How can I take the integrals that emerge on this substitution?
The arguments of the exponential functions contain four-vector products whereas the integrals are over spatial dimensions only. Does it mean that the temporal parts should be written as a factor after taking the spatial integrals?
Edit: I have now solved the problem and I am putting my solution for the benefit of other students. Please warn me in case you still detect mistakes in these calculations: page 1 page 2

A: As awful as it sounds, you'll just have to do a painfully long computation here. Take the derivatives you need to take there (time and space for the first and second term in the integral).
You can then use:

*

*The orthogonality of the Fourier expansion: $\int d^3x~ e^{ipx}e^{-ip'x} = (2\pi)^3 \delta^3(\vec{p}-\vec{p}')$

*The commutation relations for the ladder operators: $[a(p),a(p')]=[{a^\dagger(p)},{a^\dagger(p')}]=0$ and $[a^\dagger(p),a(p')]=(2\pi)^32E_p\delta^3(\vec{p}-\vec{p}')$

*The energy momentum relation: $E_p^2 = \vec{p}^2 +m^2$

Perform the integrations over the single terms of $\phi$ and its derivatives separately and add them up. You will see that you're ending up with some of the ladder operator products vanishing due to the E-p-relation, except those you need to build $N(\vec{p})$ (again, use the E-p-relation when adding them up!). Moreover, there will be a bunch of diverging constants left, all involving some integral over $\delta^3(0)$. Absorb them into $C$. It might seem weird but is common practice in particle physics.
If you perform the calculation cleanly, which is no magic but pure work here, you will end up right with the result you want to get. Good luck!

Ways to See the West
No matter the route, no matter the ride, there's never a wrong way to see the West.
BY The Editors
As part of our Adventure Bucket List, we've put together a list of the best ways to experience the West.

Raft the Middle Fork of the Salmon
Central Idaho
As the story goes, Idaho's yet-to-be-named-and-charted Salmon River gave Lewis and Clark serious pause in 1805 when local Indians issued the explorers a blunt caveat: If they went down this river, they would not return. Heeding the warning, the otherwise dauntless members of the Corps of Discovery expedition would seek another route on their westward push to the Pacific.
Some centuries and several bucket-list float trips later in beautiful central Idaho, the now-endearing epithet for one of the West's most cherished river systems — coursing through the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness — has stuck. But, to be sure, no one's avoiding this place anymore. Particularly along its premier recreational tributary, the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. According to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture tally, 10,000 enthusiastic visitors are drawn to this river annually.
Described as "not so much a river as an exuberant expression of water at play" by National Geographic, which ranks it among the top five rafting destinations in the world, the Middle Fork is one of the original eight rivers designated in the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System of 1968.
Today, it remains one of the West's wildest but accessible whitewater corridors, winding through stunning canyons to its confluence with the main Salmon River.
"It's really the perfect river — and about as pristine as it gets," says Bob Volpert of Idaho River Journeys, a top local outfitter that has guided rafting and fly-fishing trips down the Middle Fork since 1978.
"Throughout the entire summer you have terrific whitewater — along with hot springs and historic Native American sites along the way, a hearty population of trout, and spectacular riverside hiking in the largest roadless wilderness in the continental U.S.
"If you believe in wilderness values," Volpert adds, "you won't find a place that exemplifies them more than the Middle Fork."

Bask — and Learn — in the Lap of Luxury
Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa, Gateway, Colorado
Strung along the canyon wall over the Dolores and San Miguel rivers in western Colorado's canyon country are the sun-bleached remains of the Hanging Flume, a water channel built from 1889 to 1891 to bring water to the hydraulic separator in a promising mine. The chute was an engineering marvel. It dropped just 90 feet over its entire 10-mile length. But the flecks of gold turned out to be too fine to sift, and the mining company recouped just a fraction of the flume's $165,000 construction cost before shutting down the operation. Mines in the area would fare better in the years to come, when demand arose for radon, uranium, and vanadium, but today only pieces of the weather-beaten white pine flume remain.
It's hard to appreciate the craftsmanship of the 19th-century ruins while white-knuckling a muscle car through the winding curves of State Highway 141. So if you're a Gateway Canyons Resort & Spa guest renting, say, a Dodge Challenger from the getaway's stable of exquisite performance vehicles, consider stopping at an overlook for a better view.
On the other hand, you could keep your foot on the gas pedal and save the sightseeing for your next excursion. At Gateway Canyons, established by Discovery Channel creator John Hendricks, the opportunities to immerse yourself in the incredible outdoors are limited only by your imagination, energy level, and budget. Helicopter tours. Jeep and Pro-Baja truck off-roading. Equestrian, ATV, and UTV exploration. Hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and fly-fishing. Some of those may sound like the activities available at any outdoors retreat, but at this perfectionist's heaven, each and every one is dialed up to the max. Take the chopper, for example. It's not any old whirlybird flying you around the breathtaking sights or chauffeuring you to Powderhorn or Telluride for golf or skiing. No, you will sink into the Tempur-Pedic seat cushions of a Eurocopter AStar AS350 B3, the only helicopter that has ever touched down on the peak of Mount Everest.
"Mr. Hendricks' attitude is, Do it right," Rudy Sharp, Gateway Canyons' vice-president and regional managing director, tells me during a press trip provided by the resort. "If you're going to buy a helicopter, buy the best one."
And if you're going to build a resort, build the most luxurious casitas and lodges possible in one of the world's most awe-inspiring, beautiful places. The resort rests in the confluence of five canyons at the foot of the Palisade rock formation, an eye-popping landmark that looks like an enormous rugged hill sporting a mohawk haircut towering hundreds of feet into the air. The sight of it in the salmon-colored light of sunrise, its shadow stretching across the high desert, will stun anyone into silence. At sundown, visitors can look to the west and take in the grandeur of Utah's snowcapped La Sal Mountains as they change colors in the waning light.
It was tempting to just hike around or find a place to sit down and spend hours gawking at the panorama of gorgeous geology. I could have spent a day simply doing that, taking breaks only to enjoy lobster mac and cheese or elk chile rellenos at the Paradox Grille. But first, I had a thing or two to learn.
Guests are encouraged to come away with new knowledge or skills — or even a new outlook on life — acquired from various resort packages, including a new one called Palisade Ranch, open May 1 through the end of September, that offers a chance to ride with ranch foreman Brian Redmond and learn how to drive cattle. On a trail ride during my visit, Redmond demonstrated endless patience with a horse that wasn't quite in the mood for his first rider of the season. (Then again maybe it was me, a less-than-confident horseman, whom Redmond was being patient with. He was kind enough to blame the animal rather than embarrass me in front of my fiancée.) Ornery equine or not, talking about literature and philosophy with the laconic cowboy poet as our mounts clambered up the dusty trail under a postcard-blue sky was a highlight of the trip.
These edu-taining packages are in keeping with the resort's purpose: to provide more than just a relaxing visit. Managing director Sharp says he would be disappointed if guests didn't learn something or expand their worldview in some way during a stay. He hastens to add that he doesn't want the trip to feel like a classroom lecture but rather like a curiosity-sparking adventure. To that end, Gateway Canyons employs a "curator of curiosity," Zebulon Miracle, a man with a job as uncommon as his name. Miracle, an experienced guide with degrees in history and anthropology from the University of Colorado Boulder, leads "Talks, Walks & Rocks" tours that bring the natural and manmade wonders of the area to life. There's also the Auto Museum, where you can peruse more than a century of cars, including a 1906 Cadillac Model H Coupe and a one-of-a-kind $3.25 million 1954 Oldsmobile F-88 concept car.
If those aren't enough to satiate your inquisitive mind, the resort offers Curiosity Retreats, which Sharp describes as "TED Talks on steroids." No two programs are the same, but depending on the lineup, you might have the opportunity to interact in a small group with nanotechnology pioneer K. Eric Drexler, iconic New Age author Deepak Chopra, or Vint Cerf, one of the "Fathers of the Internet," in between wine tastings, archery, and music performances.
Gold may be what brought fortune seekers to this incredible corner of Colorado at the end of the 1800s, but today the spectacular vistas — and lessons learned — are priceless.

Jeep Into the Real Monument Valley
Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Utah-Arizona Border
"So this is where God put the West," John Wayne was said to have pronounced when setting eyes on Monument Valley for the first time.
It all came out of an unlikely location scouting report in the 1930s. Local valley rancher and trader Harry Goulding went to Hollywood and pitched film director John Ford on the perfect western set: a remote patch of Navajo land straddling the far side of the Arizona-Utah border — where a little movie called Stagecoach would then be shot. Over the next 25 years, Ford would return to Monument Valley for six more films, making it the iconic western movie setting of all time, and calling it "the most complete, beautiful, and peaceful place on earth."
Today, Monument Valley (Navajo name: Tse'Bii'Ndzisgaii — "Clearing Among the Rock") remains one of the most distinctly recognizable places on earth to generations of audiences, many of whom have never gotten closer to it than a screen. Its vast, glowing plateau of lone buttes and spires have in "five square miles," as film critic Keith Phipps puts it, "defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West."
Beholding this famed 91,696-acre Navajo Tribal Park unfiltered in person soars beyond the imagination and even all of those classic films. A good start when you're here: Take the park's 17-mile scenic drive that rolls past the Mittens and other celebrity buttes, and then peruse old cultural and Hollywood artifacts at Goulding's Trading Post Museum. Signing up with a knowledgeable Navajo guide, however, will take you even further.
Only authorized Navajo guides can take visitors off the park's well-beaten path and into Monument Valley's haunting backcountry — by Jeep, van, or (our choice) horseback. Trips range from two- to three-hour tours of the valley's hidden arches, spires, natural amphitheaters, and petroglyphs to daylong trail rides with sunrise/sunset photo ops and overnights in a Navajo hogan dwelling. Surely The Duke would approve.

Snorkel With Schools of Salmon
Campbell River, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Tropical fish, colorful coral, and warm turquoise water have their rightful place in the world, but there's a certain remarkable, oft-overlooked, cold-river-borne creature out West that deserves a closer look with mask, snorkel, and full wetsuit.
Salmon.
You've heard about this fish, right? But did you know that hordes of them, probably as you read this, are barreling up the Georgia Strait after years of trans-Pacific migration? And that you can snorkel with them on Vancouver Island's Campbell River (aka "The Salmon Capital of the World"), where half a million salmon complete their incredible journey to spawn and demo one of nature's most extraordinary life cycles?
"It's a mesmerizing experience — floating into a virtual wall of thousands of pink salmon zipping all around you," says Jamie Turko, owner of Destiny River Adventures, a rafting company on the island's central east coast that runs several river journeys, including a one-of-a-kind snorkel trip during the heart of the salmon run. "It's one thing to see these fish in a hatchery," Turko says, "but floating in a back eddy and coming head-to-head with a 40-pound Chinook ... . If that doesn't get you screaming with excitement through your snorkel, nothing will."
Destiny River's three-hour salmon trips run twice daily from mid-July through late September, covering four kilometers of fish-infested river. Passengers learn all about fish ecology from expert rafting guides, before heading downriver into salmon traffic—and at choice spots slipping in for extreme close-ups during an easy float to the Campbell River estuary.

Hit the Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail
Across New Mexico
I am blocks away from the Santa Fe Farmers Market in the city's revamped Railyard Arts District, but already the aroma of fruity heat tickles my nose. As I approach, it intensifies until I get too close to the source — a hand-cranked perforated steel barrel roaster ablaze with blistering green chiles tumbling inside. Their sharp spice shoots straight for my eyes and lungs. I cough and back away from the contraption until the airborne licks of capsaicin — the compound that gives chiles their fierce, compelling kick — are out of range.
If adobe is New Mexico's foundation, the green chile is its heart. "I think of it as the essence of my adopted state," says longtime New Mexico resident Cheryl Alters Jamison, the James Beard Award-winning co-author of The Rancho de Chimayó Cookbook: The Traditional Cooking of New Mexico and creator of the "Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail" for the New Mexico Tourism Department. "The green chile is something powerfully delicious and found very few other places. It offers a shared indulgence and a sense of pride."
I understand this after chomping down on yet another green chile cheeseburger, one of the favored ways of presenting the feisty thick-fleshed pods. The contender on my plate is the signature burger at Santa Fe's Cowgirl BBQ: the Mother of all Green Chile Cheeseburgers. It's a formidable order with green chiles used from top to bottom, beginning with the green chile-cheddar bun. Between the bread is a beef-bison patty mixed with bacon. Tangy melted brie pouring over the sides of the meat, more chopped green chiles soaked in white truffle oil, and a single tomato slice top the order. A couple of bites and I'm reflexively stomping my leg and catching my breath, until the only word I can utter is "Wow."
Farther south, at the Buckhorn Tavern in San Antonio, third-generation owner Robert Olguin's burger — a strata of beef, green chiles, onions, pickles, and cheese resting on a bed of lettuce and tomato and finished with a slather of mustard — has received special recognition from the state legislature. At Sparky's BBQ, Burgers and Espresso in Hatch, things are kept simple but punchy with American cheese and a hearty smear of the smoky green stuff.
But there's more to the green chile than a tasty burger. Ask Southwestern cuisine pioneer and native New Mexican John Rivera Sedlar. For Sedlar, it's as much about identity as what's on the menu — there's essentially no separation between a New Mexican and the state's signature sandwich.
"It's part of who we are," he says. "It was our go-to comfort food as children, and as adults, when you get off a plane, it's the first thing you eat upon your return."
While Sedlar is certainly content to enjoy a homey burger, and offers one on his menu at his modern Southwestern cuisine restaurant Eloisa, he's also interested in applications beyond the beef patty, inspired by an ingredient whose characteristics mirror the climate and people of his home state: "It's bracing and hot and full-flavored and surprising."
Next on my green chile cheeseburger bucket list is the Owl Bar & Cafe in San Antonio. According to owner Janice Argabright, the restaurant's version was born in 1948 when scientists working in labs at White Sands came in for lunch, but the kitchen was running out of clean plates. Instead of washing extra dishes and serving green chiles as the customary side, Argabright's grandfather served the chiles on the cheeseburger. Thus, the Atomic Age introduced the world to a scorching icon of Western eats.

RV the Cal-Coast
Big Sur, Pacific Coast Highway, California
California's showpiece stretch of coast, Big Sur, winds for about 90 gorgeous miles between San Simeon and Carmel-by-the-Sea along the Pacific Coast Highway — summoning waves of joy, awe, and palm sweat all in one movable sitting. Most drivers inexplicably speed through it all in a single day. Whether it's all the hairpin turns, "Rock Slide Area" signs, or that approaching wall of fog wafting in from the Pacific, something about this dramatic American National Scenic Byway seems to whisper, "Enjoy, but keep moving."
Not in an RV.
Renting a cozy midsized motor home on one of the most scenic roads in the West gives you license to rise above the usual Big Sur dash, experience central California's spectacular edge at your own pace — and, best of all, make good use of several RV-friendly campgrounds hiding along Big Sur without having to pitch a tent and rough it.
Explore Sand Dollar Beach. Take a hike into the hills of the neighboring Ventana Wilderness. Lounge on the ocean-facing terrace of Big Sur's storied cliffside restaurant, Nepenthe, with an Ambrosiaburger and sweeping views of the coast. Then pull into Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park in a grove of towering redwood trees and you're home for the night. Slowing down here — with a front-row bed in Big Sur's great outdoors — makes all the difference.

Investing in your most valuable asset
A good employer should know that employees are the most important asset to a business and if you don't invest in them – they'll leave, leading to regular turnover in staff which disrupts the business productivity and growth.
As an employee, you are expected to be productive during a full working day and to achieve that, your environment must be a positive one – both mentally and physically.
According to the HSE, in 2016/7, 31.2 million working days were lost due to work related ill health and non-fatal musculoskeletal problems.
So, how does igroup manage to attract and retain their world class team? Simple – Steve Rastall, Managing Director, is one of those good employers who believes in investing in his team.
"So many people have suffered from back problems during their working life, myself included", says Steve. "Experiencing pain from prolonged poor posture inevitably has a negative effect on an employee's mental state, reducing their concentration and productivity. That's why we've invested almost £2500 per employee, ensuring everyone has new servo driven sit-stand desks, dual screens with anti-glare, multi adjustment chairs, anti-slip mats, headsets, and laptops, which are renewed every two years."
Steve also believes that the business's responsibilities extend further than the physical office environment – atmosphere and team spirit is essential to a positive work place.
"Nurturing a positive environment takes time and effort, and everyone has to participate to make that work. igroup has genuinely nice people working here who are passionate about what they do, which makes that task much easier to carry out, and inevitably creates good office vibe. By rewarding the team regularly with things like exam funding, a great perk box, and regular 'igroup on tour' team trips throughout the year, everyone feels involved and valued."
The recent decision to relocate to Sci-Tech Daresbury Campus has also proved to be another success for igroup's employees. The building provides natural lighting and modern break out areas, along with an on-site restaurant, subsidised gym, and ample parking, for all employees. The campus is positioned just two miles from J11 of the M56 along the Daresbury express way making access very easy and yet still nestled into the Cheshire countryside by the picturesque Bridgewater canal.
Steve says, "It's easy for a company to say they care, and promote a great working environment but very few companies put their money where their mouth is, which is crazy. Looking after your employees does cost money, but the return you receive is priceless."

Price: Currently on sale for $40 USD in a complete package right here.
Options: Lots of different packages.
Pros: The grenades are very easy to assemble and use, and the ingredients are completely innocuous. I completely underestimated the volume of the grenade, and the first blast made my ears ring (the Sly Profit's padded ears helped out nicely for the second test, but it was still freaking loud, in a good way). There was no damage to anything around the grenade, including the thin cardboard box next to the grenade during the second test. The price is fair, and the package currently on sale is a great deal. The pouch included in the package is of a nice quality.
The dent that was the culprit of the failed detonation.
Cons: As can be seen by my blooper above, you can easily shatter the thin plastic shell if you throw it too hard, so the grenade either needs to be tossed softly or in an underhand rolling fashion. The "explosion" can leave a bit of a sticky spot on the ground, but nothing that a rinse can't fix.
Overall: The Cidasoft grenades are a good alternative to 12 gram sound grenades. I didn't test out the grenades with bbs as I wanted to focus on the paintball applications, and as far as those went I think these fill their role perfectly. However, until biodegradable bottles are released (in the works) I would only use these in a CQB environment. If you're on the fence about it, there are some very affordable small packages on Cidasoft's website that you can expand later with more shells or detonators.

Awakening (a.k.a. spiritual awakening) is the process of expanding awareness and understanding of the realities of ourselves and the world in which we live. The more an individual sees, realizes, and understands things, the more awake they are.
Awakening is a process that occurs as the consequence of one or more discrete Connection Experiences.
Carl Jung is on record as recommending "Spiritual Awakening" as the only cure for the intransigent alcoholism of the morbidly addicted.
Awakening as a process may be distinguished from an Awakening Experience, which is a discrete low power Connection Event that leads to enhanced understanding and insight.
Spiritual awakening (or just awakening for short) is typically a volunteer process. It is initiated by intent and (sometimes) facilitated/accelerated with Connection Supplements, Connection Appliances, and Connection Practice. In certain situations, Forced Awakening may occur.
Spiritual awakening a biological process that, under healthy conditions, occurs naturally, without intervention, as part of the maturation process of the Physical Unit. The natural process of spiritual awakening can be subverted by Toxic Socialization and associated practices. When the natural process of awakening has been subverted, remedial training and healing are typically required.
Spiritual awakening is a significant process that implicates all aspects of an individual's psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual life space.
Spiritual awakening may be initiated via a simple statement of Intent. The intent may be verbal, as in the case of Awakening Mantras, or it may be visual, as in the case of Awakening Visualizations. Connection Supplements may also be used to facilitate short-term (a few minutes to a few hours) Connection Experiences.
Awakening (i.e. drawing Consciousness into the vessel) is a complicated and, owing to failures in this planet's Toxic Socialization process, challenging process. In many cases, professional psychological, emotional, and sociological supports are required in order to fully awaken an individual.

Martin passed Augie Garrido as college baseball's all-time coaching wins leader last month. His two-year contract expires this year, and he said he would meet with athletic director Stan Wilcox to determine whether he will be back for a 40th season.
If Martin returns, he would need 13 wins to reach 2,000 and would get another chance to chase his elusive first national championship.
Mississippi State has had an emotional season as well. Andy Cannizaro resigned Feb. 20 for off-field conduct and pitching coach Gary Henderson took over as interim coach.
The Bulldogs had to play their first 11 games away from home — unusual for a team in the South — because of construction on Dudy Noble Field. They lost seven of their first nine Southeastern Conference games and went into May as no lock to make the conference tournament, let alone the NCAA Tournament.
They swept top-ranked Florida to finish the regular season, and after going one-and-out in the SEC Tournament, they lost 20-10 to Oklahoma in their regional opener.
Down to their last strike against Florida State, MacNamee sent Drew Parrish's 3-2 changeup over the left-field wall to keep the season alive and make Mississippi State 10-1 against teams ranked in the top 10.
Parrish returned to the mound in the ninth after a rain delay of more than two hours. Parrish had thrown 109 pitches through eight innings. Martin said pitching coach Mike Bell had Parrish throw every 15 minutes to stay loose during the delay, and he didn't second-guess his decision to send him back out.
SEC: 7-2 on Saturday, 14-3 through two days; Big 12: 4-1, 8-2; Pac-12: 2-2, 6-2; ACC: 3-3, 6-6; Big Ten: 3-1, 4-4; American: 2-2, 4-4.
The Oregon State Beavers didn't forget how their 2017 season ended, with LSU beating them 3-1 and 6-1 in the College World Series and holding them to a combined five hits.
They got some payback with their 14-1 win on their home field. It was LSU's most lopsided loss in an NCAA Tournament game since Cal State Fullerton beat the Tigers 20-6 in the 1994 CWS.
— Auburn ace Casey Mize, projected to be the No. 1 pick in the Major League Baseball draft Monday, allowed one run and four hits and struck out 11 in seven innings of a 12-1 win over Army.
— Three other projected first-rounders carried their teams. Florida's Brady Singer gave up two runs over seven innings as the No. 1 national seed and defending champion Gators held off Jacksonville 3-2. Mississippi's Ryan Rolison struck out 13 and allowed four hits over seven innings in a 9-4 win over Saint Louis in a first-round game. Stetson's Logan Gilbert struck out 14 in seven innings of a 10-3 win over Oklahoma State.
— Freshman Max Meyer struck out six in three innings of one-hit, shutout relief as Minnesota beat UCLA 3-2 in 10 innings to move within a win of its first super regional.
— Nathan Wiles pitched 8 2/3 shutout innings as No. 3 regional seed Oklahoma beat No. 4 Samford 4-0.
— Josh Hiatt allowed one run while recording a nine-out save in North Carolina's 4-3 win over Houston.
— Brian Brown scattered eight hits and struck out eight as North Carolina State bounced back from its first-round loss to Army to beat Northeastern 9-3.
— Kacey Murphy threw eight innings of two-hit, shutout ball in Arkansas' 10-2 win over Southern Miss.
— Tim Cate pitched 5 1/3 innings of two-hit, shutout relief as UConn came from behind to end LIU Brooklyn's first NCAA appearance since 1972 with a 10-3 win.
— Cal State Fullerton freshman Jace Chamberlin, nicknamed "Jumbo" at 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, hit a pinch home run — the first homer of his career — with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to beat No. 2 national seed Stanford 2-1.
— Kody Clemens, son of seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens, hit his 22nd and 23rd homers in Texas' 8-3 win over Texas A&M.
— Nick Kahle's grand slam highlighted Washington's 11-6 win over host Coastal Carolina and pushed the No. 3 regional seed Huskies within one win of a super regional.
— Jonathan India, Wil Dalton and Jonah Girand hit solo homers to account for all of Florida's runs against the Dolphins.
— Tucker Bradley hit one of Georgia's four home runs and had four RBIs in an 18-5 first-round win over Campbell.
— Chris Crabtree's three-run double started an 11-run ninth for Duke, which came back from an 8-1 seventh-inning deficit beat Campbell 16-8 for its first tournament win since 1961.
— Kep Brown had four hits for No. 4 regional seed UNC-Wilmington, including a bases-loaded single in the 13th to give the Seahawks a 4-3 walk-off elimination-game win over Ohio State.
— David Villar hit the tiebreaking, two-run single, Joe Genord followed with a three-run homer, and South Florida ended Hartford's first tournament appearance with a 9-4 win in 11 innings.

Motorists are either cutting back on crucial car maintenance or making lifestyle sacrifices to keep their vehicles on the road, according to a new report from Halfords.
More than four-fifths (84%) of motorists consider their cars as essential to everyday life, with the lack of affordable public transport or alternatives to the car seemingly in short supply.
Ongoing financial uncertainty has reportedly nearly all drivers changing the way they drive, with a whopping 92% admitting that they break less harshly and accelerate more slowly in a bid to keep fuel costs down.
Despite escalating fuel costs and rising car insurance premiums, 63% said they got behind the wheel on a daily basis and 42% claimed to drive for more than two hours a day.
Some 44% claimed their main reliance on a car was down to their commute to work, while 24% said their main reason for car dependence was to complete the weekly grocery shop.


You want the best protection available for your loved ones. Years after you select a Wilbert® brand reinforced burial vault, you'll know that you made the right decision by choosing the highest level of protection.
A burial vault is a lined and sealed outer receptacle that houses the casket. It protects the casket from the weight of the earth and heavy maintenance equipment that will pass over the grave. It also helps resist water and preserves the beauty of the cemetery or memorial park by preventing the ground from settling.


Can Born Again Christians Get the Mark of the Beast?
In this video I give two reasons why it's impossible for born again Christians to get the mark of the beast. The first reason is to do with God's assurances, and the second – with time.

Q: Planck's postulate for oscillators or for light? I know that Planck originally postulated that the energy of an oscillator in a black body was quantised to $E=nh\nu$ but did he know at the time that this meant the energy of light was also quantised (since all light has to be made from such oscillation)?

A: Planck published several works on the theory of blackbody radiation based on different ideas, but generally the use of integer counting of energy he meant to be used for the energy of material oscillators. He did not believe the quantization applied to light itself - he assumed Maxwell's theory with its differential equations and derived his spectral function (Planck's law).
In contrast to widespread belief, Planck did not introduce quantization of EM field and he did not introduce photons. Other people after him did that.

Ribonucleoprotein, U1 Small Nuclear
"Ribonucleoprotein, U1 Small Nuclear" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus, MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure, which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
A nuclear RNA-protein complex that plays a role in RNA processing. In the nucleoplasm, the U1 snRNP along with other small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (U2, U4-U6, and U5) assemble into SPLICEOSOMES that remove introns from pre-mRNA by splicing. The U1 snRNA forms base pairs with conserved sequence motifs at the 5'-splice site and recognizes both the 5'- and 3'-splice sites and may have a fundamental role in aligning the two sites for the splicing reaction.

From Bicol, a Southern Tagalog trip is feasible if you leave by night and arriving early to your first destination. Here's the catch though, take a bath at night because the moment you wake up, your off to your first tourist destination.
Here are at least four destinations on the map (A to D) that you can reach in a day that I was able to do, shopping included, in Marikina's rival when it comes to affordable but quality fashion. Hope this itinerary works for you too.
We left Naga at 10PM and arrived in Lucena (Junction) going to Tayabas as early as 4am for breakfast. From there, we traveled to Lucban for Kamay ni Hesus as our first destination and dozed off a little and waited for 7AM for the gates to open (See photo below for grotto and mass schedule). I already wrote a blog about Tayabas, Quezon entitled 3 Things You Can Do in an Hour in Tayabas, Quezon. You can also visit Taal, Batangas for a day should you wish to continue this itinerary the following day. CLICK HERE for a possible itinerary for a day in Taal, Batangas.
1. Kamay ni Hesus Shrine. Lucban being known for Pahiyas Festival, is also now a sought-after pilgrimage destination known for its miraculous healing masses. The hill that leads to the Risen Christ statue on top paves the way for Catholics to go through the Stations of the Cross from the base. Thousands of Catholics flock here during the Holy Week and yes I have seen how big the crowd can be during those days. Been here twice, photos below was on lean months but flow of tourists / pilgrims is indeed steady.
The gate of the shrine.
A replica of Noa's Ark. There's a nice clean pond nearby the ark.
The view when you reach the top of the grotto.
Buy Lucban Longanisa, priced per dozen, plus many other local delicacies and souvenir items you can find outside the gates of the shrine.
After Lucban Quezon, it's now a scenic, mountain side trip going to Laguna. You can actually add a quick stopover in another church in Majayjay which is equally beautiful with that of the next destination.
2. Red-Bricked Liliw Church in Laguna or St. John the Baptist Church is definitely one of my favorites. The redness of the bricks make it look elegant and rustic at the same time. It's a bit dark inside the church but the light coming from the stained glass windows will actually make it feel more peaceful. Because the church is made of bricks it actually feels a little cold inside.
Noticed two other prayer rooms on both sides of the church.
There's a nice museum depicting the history of the church and these volunteers will be there to assist and guide you. There's a very minimal fee. Taking pictures inside the museum is prohibited.
Buy shoes, sandals, bags in Liliw. Just right outside the street of Liliw Church is a long stretch of shoe stores for men, women and children. I could not even count all of them left and right. Sandals starts as low as P100. Sometimes you'll even see items which you can see in malls but unbranded just yet and way too far from the mall price. So it's a must to hoard este buy shoes when visiting Liliw. For those considering to venture into the business of reselling, you can consider Liliw and just choose among the stores here who can be your supplier.
3. Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery - We then traveled to Nagcarlan, Laguna to visit this aesthetically beautiful final resting place. The burial site is actually located beneath a church. In history, it was built for funeral masses in 1845 by Franciscans where it paved way for the underground graveyard which is said to be 15 feet below the church.
There was no "no photography" sign in the crypt, that's why I was able to take photos. But then my colleague told me that it's not allowed according to the caretaker. But if you will, always remember that always practice the NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY when taking pictures of old structures.
It's also cold inside the crypt, just don't forget to give due respect to the place.
There's also a museum at the left side of the gate with an audio visual presentation about the history of the underground cemetery. The Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery is open from Tuesdays to Sundays, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
4. National Shrine of Padre Pio, Sto. Tomas Batangas - The shrine under the Archdiocese of Lipa is around 84 kilometers or an hour and half drive from Metro Manila. From Bicol, upon reaching Sto. Tomas, turn left near the over pass where there's also a signage to guide you and you can always use Waze or Google Maps. From the main highway it's about only about a kilometer or two. Same as Kamay ni Jesus in Lucban, the Padre Pio Shrine is also flocked by Pilgrims especially during the Holy Week season.
There are two main domes where masses are held, this one is near Mary, of Mother of Mercy Belfry and the other one on the side near the parking lot.
Many pilgrims get holy water from this sanctuary.
So there, we were able to visit these places all in one day. We headed to Lipa City at stayed at Zillion Builders Pavilion and stayed for the night after the long day. Zillion Builders offers a practical alternative to staying in a hotel with basic accommodations including a clean, comfortable place to rest with it's ideal location just right beside SM City Lipa. A single room can accommodate 4 people with two double decks. There are other types of rooms available, you may just visit their website for more details.
There are many other places in Quezon, Laguna and Batangas that you can surely visit but I can say that this itinerary is very feasible.


There are 40 fantastic vendors at this year's Terra @ Home Market. Head to the Milton Terra Greenhouses location for a selection of everything from meats and jewellery to baked goods and produce (and more)!
The market runs every Saturday from January 11th to April 5, 10am to 3pm. Even if you don't arrive hungry, your taste buds and sense of smell will take over.
Click through the photos to get a glimpse of what's available this year.


The traditional British Christmas tree! This is a strong and sturdy tree with an excellent shape. It has a broad spread, short light-green foliage and a classic pine fragrance. It doesn't hold its needles quite as well as the more resilient Nordmann Fir, and its small sharp needles are prickly; not a family-friendly tree. However, its great ability to withstand cold and damp make it an excellent choice for outdoor display where its tendency to drop needles is less important than its outstanding classic shape.

Title: Beauty Parade
Various shots document a beauty contest on a sunny day at Tynemouth open air pool on Longsands seafront. Women contestants in swimsuits and high heels sport numbers on their wrists and parade around the pool, stopping to pose for crowds. A man in a nautical hat supervises at the poolside. An audience watches from the stepped concrete seating beside the pool. The competitors line up in a row to pose, then continue around the pool.

Queens of the seaside
Focused on beauty in swimwear at the Tynemouth outdoor pool in the early 1960s.
In the early 1960s, with women's lib just a twinkle on the horizon, the Tynemouth lido on the rocks is the much-loved 'show pool' backdrop for a popular spectacle of style and glamour in swimwear. This colourful snapshot of the would-be winners of the Miss Tynemouth Bathing Beauty contest, eased into high heels, parading poolside, was a joint production by two Northumbrian brothers born in Blyth.
Calling themselves Frandean Productions, the brothers worked together on amateur films and home movies made between 1934 and 1967, Frank Wilson as cameraman, and Edgar Dean Wilson as editor. During World War Two Edgar was in the Royal Air Force, based in Tynemouth, installing cameras in planes. He continued in the family firm of decorative plasterers after the war. Frank was in the army, possibly involved in the D-Day landings, and then worked in his father's pharmacy in Tideswell, Derbyshire, until taking a job with the Co-operative pharmacy, Newgate Street, Newcastle.

The story begins as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg team up to become underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful. On a shoestring, they create a platform that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously leak covert data, shining a light on the dark recesses of government secrets and corporate crimes. Soon, they are breaking more hard news than the world's most legendary media organizations combined. But when Assange and Berg gain access to the biggest trove of confidential intelligence documents in U.S. history, they battle each other and a defining question of our time: what are the costs of keeping secrets in a free society-and what are the costs of exposing them?

When I start learning new things, I like to come back to its source and discover where it comes from.
When you look at the Agile movement history, every source is pointing to the Agile Manifesto, back in 2001.
At that time, a new project management methodology known as XP programming was trendy in software development. Other methodologies referred to as "Lightweight methods" were also emerging.
17 active leaders involved in these communities decided to meet at Snowbird Utah February 11-13 2001 to discuss what was common or what was different between all these methods in the field of software development. From these, emerged the agile manifesto, a statement of 4 values that capture the core ideas that all the participants shared during the meeting.
The agile movement was born.
Every value has the same syntactic construction: "statement A over statement B".
This construction acts the necessity of reestablishing a new balance between the two statements. It is not a complete denial of statement B, neither it is an absolute supremacy of statement A. We should consider giving more importance to statement A than to statement B.
When it comes to do some work, we often hide ourselves between our management processes and our tools.
We often forget that processes and tools are not working alone and that there are actually people who are still doing a major part of the work.
So work is all about people interacting with each others to complete some tasks.
In the late 90s, these interactions were really procedural because of work segmentation and specialization. Collaborators in big organizations were often working in silos and disconnected from the customers they served. Employees were mainly considered as valuable resources.
To overcome these communication problems, agile methodologies rely on frequent inspect-and-adapt cycles, on trust and respect between stakeholders, and on transparency of the data, actions and decisions.
Being agile is refocusing on people and how they work together. If you have it wrong, processes and tools won't be of any use.
In the typical waterfall approach, customers are audited to write down a requirements document. Then, the product is built while giving more documents to the customers about the production state. Then the product is tested and if tests passed, it is delivered to the customers.
The problem is that after the initial customer interviews, changes in requirements are hardly managed during the production process, and have to wait for the end of the build-test cycle.
So a lot of effort are wasted on deliverables that won't fit customer needs.
Agile methods state that it is better to deliver working software at set intervals than docs about the production state. It means that you have to split up the end product in small pieces of working software that you can demonstrate to your customer.
This way, it is more likely you save time and effort working on useful deliverables, and get happier customers.
Linked to the previous statement, having customers engaged during all the design and production process, instead of at the contract negotiation only, helps producing meaningful products.
A contract isn't a substitute for communication.
The Agile Manifesto acknowledge that succesfull company listen carefully to their customers at any time in their development process and are able to adapt to follow changes.
Having a plan is great, being able to change it is better.
Processes tend to rigidify organization, leaving them unable to adapt to situations like a customer changing its mind.
Agile Methods assert that we should welcome change, instead of fighting it.
Most of the agile methods set up iterative and incremental production, to give some place to feedback and learn from them.
We lean to rigidify all our behaviors and processes to feel safer about uncertainty.
This behavior leads us to waste so much effort and time when things don't go according to plan. Moreover, team mates feel bad about producing wasted work, and customers don't get what they asked for.
The Agile Manifesto stands for bringing back adaptability and flexibility to the table.
It promotes communication and collaboration between stakeholders, continuous improvement of the company and people, and iterative and incremental production on which feedback are asked for regularly.

What to consider when selling a business | Bryan E. Kuhn, Counselor at Law, P.C.
On behalf of Bryan E. Kuhn, Counselor at Law, P.C. posted in Sales & Dissolution on Thursday, June 7, 2018.
Like all big things that require intense preparation, selling a business can be a messy affair filled with intricate details. The process can also be quite emotional, especially for an entrepreneur who started a company from the ground up. Therefore, any business owner in Colorado planning to sell the fruits of their hard labor should take several factors into consideration.
Bearing that in mind, the factors can be broken down into two main categories: Some aspects pertain to the business itself while others relate to the business owner. Starting with the former category, the first thing that should be scrutinized is the business valuation, be it through precedent transaction analysis or discounted cash flow. Additionally, it is important to always question the timing of the sale; businesses are best sold when they are at their prime rather than when they are in a decline. Finally, owners need to be ready to answer numerous questions about their businesses, including how the valuation was performed, why the business is being sold and how sustainable the business will be.
On the other hand, the owner has to be willing to look inward and consider their plans for the future. It is worth remembering that without plans, it is easy to feel weighed down by a life that's lost its purpose. Over and above, business owners need to emotionally fortify themselves before delving into the whole process. Not only is it emotionally stressful to part with a business, but it is also draining to go through the entire process of fielding questions and working with complete strangers.
Because of all of this, a business owner considering a sale may seek the services of a lawyer. After all, the exhaustion that comes with the process can cause a business owner to make a careless mistake that could have been avoided had there been someone in their corner.

January/February 1993: The author, 'Billy' Arjan Singh was one of the first to blow the whistle on the sinister motives of the shikar operators who insisted on minting fortunes out of shikar, even when presented with evidence that the great cats were headed towards extinction.
Today, two decades after Project Tiger was launched, Billy shares with Sanctuary readers his concerns for the deteriorating environment in which tigers are sought to be protected and offers some radical views on how the problems facing the tiger might be solved.
IN NOVEMBER 1969, the General Assembly of the International Union for Nature and Natural Resources met in New Delhi. Amongst other papers presented was one by Kailash Sankhala stressing the deteriorating status of the tiger, seeking intervention in its protection. At the conclusion of deliberations, which generated a great deal of sympathy and alarm at the declining census figure of 1,827, I submitted a resolution calling for a ban on tiger shooting, which supposedly earned much-needed foreign exchange for the country. The Assembly then passed a resolution proposing a moratorium on hunting until further studies and protective measures ensured favourable population trends, and also suggested its replacement by the tourist potential of the tiger.
The acceptance of the Resolution put 26 Shikar Companies out of business. Although expressing concern for the deteriorating status of the tiger, the outfitters still did not see fit to transfer their resources to tourism. Instead, they claimed that tiger-hunters were prime conservationists as their activities kept poachers away. One of them even submitted a writ petition against the Sundarbans Tiger Reserve in the Supreme Court. Having failed in his attempt he thereafter went on to open a hunting business in Indonesia!
In 1970, at a joint meeting of the IUCN and WWF in Switzerland, Guy Mountfort proposed an all-out effort to save the tiger. He was authorized to offer a million dollars to the Prime Minister of India to assist in the setting up of a project to protect the Indian tiger. Mrs Indira Gandhi reacted with alacrity and appointed a Task Force which initially identified nine project areas. A Steering Committee headed by Karan Singh, Minister for Tourism and Chairman of the Indian Board for Wildlife, was also set up.
Unfortunately, however, the Project took off on the wrong foot. Forests were on the State list of subjects in the Constitution and as wildlife was to be found mainly in the forest, the subject was attached to the Forest Department. The Forest Department is a commercial organization, and the priorities for postings amongst its staff incumbents are with Social Forestry, the Forest Corporation, the Plantation Division and the Territorial Division. Wildlife, with no economic affiliation, is shunned by all administrative personnel and is considered a 'punishment posting' for drop-outs, the inefficient and the corrupt. Moreover, though wildlife areas must be viable, the various departments are not willing to allocate further land to wildlife, particularly as the Wildlife Act does not permit commercial operations in these areas. Furthermore, tree felling amounts to habitat destruction and militates against the concept.
It is obvious that forestry operations cannot be permitted in wildlife zones, and equally obvious why the Department will not allow forested areas to be transferred to wildlife. Wildlife and forestry are antagonistic subjects and cannot meaningfully be managed by the same facility. A clean forest floor is the dream of a forester. It is an anathema to the wildlifer. The precept that wildlife will exist where there are forests is entirely misplaced; trees may be planted, but extinction is forever. The aesthetic reason for saving wildlife because of the animism in the Hindu religion is an out-dated concept which the forests, unlike the days of the Emperor Asoka, cannot apply today.
PROJECT TIGER WAS inaugurated at the Corbett National Park in 1973. The fund-raising appeal by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands caught the imagination of the world, and 1.8 million dollars was collected, mainly from school children, in a year. The euphoria of accomplishment inspired this international effort to save the tiger and originally a species-oriented project became the spearhead for the salvation of the ecosystem. The numbers game, however, continued to dominate the effort, and census figures were inflated to impossible numbers by Field Directors relying on pugmark tracings by untrained and irresponsible personnel. The Corbett Park figure, for instance, was probably at a saturation density of 44 in 1972, but was escalated to reach a figure of 112 by 1985-89! The Dudhwa National Park eventually hit on an ad hoc number of 51, based on pugmark tracings of tigers, some showing five toes! Compared to the Serengeti National Park in Africa with a 5.5% increase for the highly social lion, an overall increase of 25% was sought to be presented for the solitary tiger. Censuses were actually treated as status symbols by individual Directors, each claiming to have more than the other at 'his' reserve! My suggestion at an Indian Board for Wildlife Meeting that Field Directors should be switched around, during census time, was, needless to add, disregarded.
COUNTING TIGERS and presenting unbridled figures continues to be the order of the day. The figures, however, began to look so ridiculous that it was inevitable that realistic estimates led to a 'population crash'. One by-product of this has been the reverting to species-oriented management in an effort to preserve the ecosystem.
The various State Forest Departments have had charge of wildlife for nearly forty years, during which period its status has continued to deteriorate due to adverse pressure from an exploding population. Forests and Wildlife were put on the Concurrent List, but the States continue to disregard the advice of the Centre. The Forest Department is thus still in absolute charge of wildlife. A separate cadre for wildlife exists in name only. The posts of Honorary Wildlife Wardens, selected from committed individuals, have been largely abolished. Persons who clash with the functioning of a corrupt Department are harassed and victimised. I speak from personal experience.
There are two methods of initiating reform. To examine why a thing cannot be done, or how it can. The time has come when policy makers must accept that there is no choice. The Forest Department, with their parochial commitment to the local public who are antagonistic to wildlife, cannot be its saviours. Unless tigers can be given a weighted franchise, wildlife should either have a separate service, as in the United States of America, or be attached to the Ministry of Tourism, as in Africa.
I shall now examine the overall methodology whereby conservation of wildlife could shake loose from the stranglehold of the Forest Department and function in some other manner, for the onus is on the policy makers to be the crusaders and for seasoned administrators to decide how the mass genocide of a vote-less species may be averted.
The committee which recommended the creation of the Department of Environment, of which I was a member, submitted its report to the Prime Minister on 15 September 1980. At the conclusion, I submitted a note which read: "I maintain, with absolute conviction, that the fragile status of wildlife, which has deteriorated to crisis proportions due to abusive practises as a state subject should be taken over immediately by the Department of Environment to be administered by a Central Wildlife Service". The Committee Report also includes a note by Dr Nagendra Singh, President, Indian Academy of Environmental Law, which says: "In regard to the protection of wild animals and birds, not only can the Central Government control their protection and preservation, but certain forests and sanctuaries of national importance can be acquired by the Central Government under its powers of acquisition of property under Entry 42 of the Union List. In the State of West Bengal vs the Union of India, 1964, the Supreme Court has held that the Union could acquire lands including forests and sanctuaries. The power of Parliament conferred by Entry 42 is not restricted and is capable of being exercised in respect of the property of the States as well.
Some of us, having lost faith in the intentions of politicians, wonder whether perhaps the time has not come for the army to be invited to assist in protecting wildlife – as it is already doing in several frontline areas. The idea is not so far-fetched as it may sound at first. In Nepal this is indeed the role of the army. Units or Training Centres, close to Parks, could easily 'adopt' wildlife areas. Occasional flag marches, in addition to regular training programmes for armed forces would certainly discourage the intrusion of poachers and plunderers of all kinds.
If this is the only way to save the tigers of India, then so be it.


Speaking at the team's first press conference before around 11 Socceroos took part in the team's first training session in Melbourne, Postecoglou was upbeat about the impact the national team can make in January, one of the most crowded months in the sporting calendar.
"You've got a test match going on across the road, the Aussie Open tennis in a few weeks and we just had 20,000 fans at AAMI Park for Melbourne Victory last night, " Postecoglou said.
"And no doubt from our perspective we'll be looking to make the Asian Cup the biggest tournament in the next month or so in this country."
The squad is set to arrive over the next few days with games being played in Europe.
By Wednesday there should be the entire 23 players in camp when the final two arrivals fly in.
As for what he'll do with his squad over the next 12 days, Postecoglou said it wasn't about physically "smashing them" in the lead up to the first game on January 9 against Kuwait at AAMI.
"It's a bit more scientific then smashing the boys," he explained.
"We're in a pretty good position with most of the boys playing up until now. There are a couple of exceptions such as Alex Wilkinson in Korea and Timmy Cahill.
"But even with those guys we've been across them with daily contact making sure they are doing the work is needed.
"The next nine of ten days is really just about fine-tuning our game-plan and making sure the players are comfortable about how we want to approach things.
"And seeing who's up for it in that first XI. I'll make it nice and competitive so every one of the boys is ready to play come January 9.
"So from our perspective the works starts today even though not everyone is here."

D.C. United is an American soccer team. Based in Washington, DC, they play in the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer (MLS). Their official nickname is the "Black-and-Red"; the team's home kit(uniform) is largely black.
The team ground is the 56,454-seater RFK Memorial Stadium on East Capitol Street, which is owned by the government of the District of Columbia and was once the home of the Washington Senators and the Washington Redskins. The city is considered to be one of the most supportive of soccer in the country. United's main supporters' club, which is possibly the largest in the country, is called the Screaming Eagles. Other supporters' clubs include Barra Brava and La Norte.
The club was one of the founding members of the MLS in 1996 and was initially the most successful. They won the first "double" in U.S. soccer history in 1996, beating Los Angeles Galaxy to take the MLS Cup and the A-League club Rochester Raging Rhinos to win the US Open Cup. They have also been successful in CONCACAF competitions, winning the Champions Cup and the Interamerican Cup in 1998. From the back of domestic success, the club's first coach, Bruce Arena, went on to direct the national side. Almost unbeatable throughout the 90's, United slumped from 2000 on under Thomas Rongen. Two lackluster seasons led to the departure of Rongen and his replacement by Ray Hudson in 2002. In Hudson's first season, the club won the curious Atlantic Cup.
Famous past players for United include the US internationals Roy Lassiter, Eddie Pope, Jeff Agoos, John Harkes, Tony Sanneh, Ben Olsen, Carlos Llamosa, and most recently Bobby Convey, who was transferred to Reading_F.C in the English Football League Championship on July 22, 2004. Foreign stars included Marco Etcheverry, Raul Diaz Arce, Jaime Moreno, and Hristo Stoitchkov, .
On November 18, 2003, MLS made sports history by signing Freddy Adu, a prodigy of a football player, at the age of 14 and on January 16, 2004 he was selected by United with the first pick in the MLS SuperDraft. When Adu entered United's regular-season opener as a second-half substitute on April 3, 2004, he became the youngest player in any professional sport in the United States since 1887.

Дерево — это связный ациклический граф. Связность означает наличие маршрута между любой парой вершин, ацикличность — отсутствие циклов. Отсюда, в частности, следует, что число рёбер в дереве на единицу меньше числа вершин, а между любыми парами вершин имеется один и только один путь.

Лес — множество деревьев.

Ориентированное (направленное) дерево — ацикличный орграф (ориентированный граф, не содержащий циклов), в котором только одна вершина имеет нулевую степень захода (в неё не ведут дуги), а все остальные вершины имеют степень захода 1 (в них ведёт ровно по одной дуге). Вершина с нулевой степенью захода называется корнем дерева, вершины с нулевой степенью исхода (из которых не исходит ни одна дуга) называются концевыми вершинами или листьями.

Связанные определения
 Степень вершины — количество инцидентных ей ребер.

 Концевой узел (лист, терминальная вершина) — узел со степенью 1 (то есть узел, в который ведёт только одно ребро; в случае ориентированного дерева — узел, в который ведёт только одна дуга и не исходит ни одной дуги).

 Узел ветвления — неконцевой узел.

 Дерево с отмеченной вершиной называется корневым деревом.
 -й ярус дерева  — множество узлов дерева, на уровне  от корня дерева.
 частичный порядок на вершинах: , если вершины  и  различны и вершина  лежит на (единственной!) элементарной цепи, соединяющей корень с вершиной .
 корневое поддерево с корнем  — подграф .
 В контексте, где дерево предполагается имеющим корень, дерево без выделенного корня называется свободным.

 Уровень узла — длина пути от корня до узла. Можно определить рекурсивно:
 уровень корня дерева  равен 0;
 уровень любого другого узла на единицу больше, чем уровень корня ближайшего поддерева дерева , содержащего данный узел.

 Остовное дерево (остов) — это подграф данного графа, содержащий все его вершины и являющийся деревом. Рёбра графа, не входящие в остов, называются хордами графа относительно остова.

 Несводимым называется дерево, в котором нет вершин степени 2.

 Лес — множество (обычно упорядоченное), не содержащее ни одного непересекающегося дерева или содержащее несколько непересекающихся деревьев.
 Центроид — вершина, при удалении которой размеры получившихся компонент связности не превышают  (половины размера исходного дерева)

Двоичное дерево

Термин двоичное дерево (применяется так же термин бинарное дерево) имеет несколько значений:

 Неориентированное дерево, в котором степени вершин не превосходят 3.
 Ориентированное дерево, в котором исходящие степени вершин (число исходящих рёбер) не превосходят 2.
 Абстрактная структура данных, используемая в программировании. На двоичном дереве основаны такие структуры данных, как двоичное дерево поиска, двоичная куча, красно-чёрное дерево, АВЛ-дерево, фибоначчиева куча и др.

N-арные деревья
N-арные деревья определяются по аналогии с двоичным деревом. Для них также есть ориентированные и неориентированные случаи, а также соответствующие абстрактные структуры данных.

 N-арное дерево (неориентированное) — это дерево (обычное, неориентированное), в котором степени вершин не превосходят N+1.
 N-арное дерево (ориентированное) — это ориентированное дерево, в котором исходящие степени вершин (число исходящих рёбер) не превосходят N.

Свойства
 Дерево не имеет кратных рёбер и петель.
 Любое дерево с  вершинами содержит  ребро. Более того, конечный связный граф является деревом тогда и только тогда, когда , где  — число вершин,  — число рёбер графа.
 Граф является деревом тогда и только тогда, когда любые две различные его вершины можно соединить единственной простой цепью.
 Любое дерево однозначно определяется расстояниями (длиной наименьшей цепи) между его концевыми (степени 1) вершинами.
 Любое дерево является двудольным графом.
 Любое дерево, множество вершин которого не более чем счётное, является планарным графом.
 Для любых трёх вершин дерева, пути между парами этих вершин имеют ровно одну общую вершину.

Подсчёт деревьев

 Число различных деревьев, которые можно построить на  нумерованных вершинах, равно  (Теорема Кэли).
 Производящая функция

 для числа  неизоморфных корневых деревьев с  вершинами удовлетворяет функциональному уравнению
 .
 Производящая функция

 для числа  неизоморфных деревьев с  вершинами можно представить с помощью перечисляющего ряда для корневых деревьев:

 При  верна следующая асимптотика

 где  и  определённые константы, , .

Кодирование деревьев
 Дерево можно кодировать наборами из нулей и единиц. Рассмотрим, например, укладку дерева на плоскости. Начиная с какой-либо вершины будем двигаться по ребрам дерева, сворачивая в каждой вершине на ближайшее справа ребро и поворачивая назад в концевых вершинах дерева. Проходя по некоторому ребру, записываем  при движении по ребру в первый раз и  при движении по ребру второй раз (в обратном направлении). Если  — число рёбер дерева, то через  шагов мы вернемся в исходную вершину, пройдя по каждому ребру дважды. Полученная при этом последовательность из  и  (код дерева) длины  позволяет однозначно восстанавливать не только само дерево , но и его укладку на плоскости. Произвольному дереву соответствуют несколько таких кодов. В частности, из этого способа кодирования вытекает следующая грубая оценка на число деревьев с  вершинами:

 Код Прюфера сопоставляет произвольному конечному дереву с  вершинами последовательность из  чисел от  до  с возможными повторениями. Например дерево на рисунке имеет код Прюфера (4,4,4,5). Между деpевьями с помеченными вершинами и их кодами Прюфера существует взаимно однозначное соответствие. Из кода Прюфера выводится формула Кэли.

 Дерево можно задать в виде стpоки, содержащей символы, помечающие вершины деpева, а также открывающие и закрывающие кpуглые скобки. Между деpевьями и их линейными скобочными записями существует взаимно однозначное соответствие.

Q: Ubuntu not recognizing rails after successfull installation, using zshrc I'm using ubuntu, zshrc, and after installing rails, using
gem rvm all do gem install rails

and getting a successful install, i'm getting a
zsh: command not found: rails

I'm guessing this has to do with my ~/.zshrc file
I have this at the end of it:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

I'm a noob at understanding how paths work, any idea how to get terminal to recognize rails commands?

After a brief evaluation of the behavior of the Economy Plan during the first quarter of this year, Ricardo Cabrisas, Cuba´s Minister of Economy and Planning, presented the proposal of guidelines for the elaboration of the Plan of the Economy and the Budget of the State for 2018, in which it was considered to consolidate and guarantee the continuity and sustainability of what was approved in the 2017 Plan.
He said that priority will be given to the "support for production levels and investments associated with exports, development and infrastructure programs and the demands of tourism; food production and import; increasing production of construction materials and agricultural inputs; and guaranteeing education, health and basic services to the population.
Cabrisas stressed the need for the 2018 Plan to be distinguished by the search for coherent and sustainable solutions, with the purpose of forming a plan to ensure growth, maintaining macroeconomic balances, continuity of main development programs and a slight advance in the process of transformation of the country's economic structure.
In this sense, the essential premise lies in the ability to meet production and service commitments, with efficient savings and readjustment of expenditure indicators below the 2017 Plan.
