September 28, 2022 September 26, 2022 1 Comment
The Ancient Greeks believed in 12 gods and goddesses who were understood to reside upon Mount Olympus. These deities included Zeus (pronounced "zoose") the king of the gods, Hera (pronounced "hare-ah") the wife of Zeus and goddess of marriage and childbirth, Apollo (pronounced "ah-pol-oh") the son of Zeus, sun god, and god of music and healing, Artemis (pronounced "art-em-is") the daughter of Zeus, twin sister of Apollo, and the goddess of the moon and hunting, Aphrodite (pronounced "af-row-dye-tee") the daughter of Zeus and goddess of love and sexual desire, Ares (pronounced "air-eez") the son of Zeus, god of war and battle, and lover of Aphrodite, Poseidon (pronounced "po-sai-den") the brother of Zeus and god of the sea, storms, and earthquakes, Demeter (pronounced "de-me-tur") a lover of Zeus and the goddess of agriculture and fertility, Athena (pronounced "ah-tee-nah") the daughter of Zeus and goddess of wisdom and war, Hephaestus (pronounced "heh-fai-sch-tus") the son of Zeus and god of fire and art, Hermes (pronounced "hur-meez") the son of Zeus, god of commerce and travel, as well as being a personal messenger for his father, and finally Hestia (pronounced "hess-tee-yah") the sister of Zeus and goddess of the home and family
The First Time a Woman and a Queen Illegally Published a Book in England
March 30, 2022 March 29, 2022 Leave a comment
Queen Catherine Parr was an outspoken evangelist and believed that God had selected her to marry King Henry VIII so that she could spread the good news of the new religion of Protestantism, even going so far as to publish a book entitled "Prayers of Meditations" in 1545 which consisted of a collection of Latin religious texts translated into English, an unprecedented act as it marked the first time a book was published in English by a woman, compounded by the fact that this was the first time a book was published by an English queen. The book became a best seller instantaneously but the publishing of this book was technically illegal as women were not permitted to spread the word of God, and especially not in the English language
The Agama Texts of Hinduism
July 7, 2021 November 22, 2022 Leave a comment
Hinduism is not a religion of the book as there is no central source of authority like the Christian Bible or the Islamic Quran to refer to, however there is no shortage of scripture. The whole canon of Hindu philosophy thrives upon debate and spiritual inquiry, much of it contradictory. Collected all together, these texts would fill many, many volumes of text. The Agamas were created to be a set of rules to guide those who subscribe to Hinduism and its ideological principles. The Agamas are incredibly vast in their range of topics offering instructions upon temple construction, the intricacies of the guru and disciple relationship, and meditation practices, covering every moment of life from waking to sleeping, from birth to death. The agamas originated in Tamil Nadu and are written in the Tamil language. The agamas provided Hinduism a formal structure which are still considered cornerstones in the practice of Hinduism during the modern day

A photograph linked to Lewis Carroll was found in the Musée Cantini, a French museum in Marseille, France, which depicts what appears to be a pubescent aged Lorina Liddell who was the older sister of Alice Liddell, the person whom the fictional character of Alice in Alice In Wonderland was based upon. The photograph is problematic as it displays Liddell, fully nude, from a frontal angle. It's unclear if the photograph was taken by Carroll or only linked to him, and it's not completely clear as to whether or not the girl in the photograph is actually Liddell. The image isn't permitted to leave France, so any study upon the subject must be conducted within the borders of the country. In 1993, Carroll expert Edward Wakeling deemed the photo to be not of Liddell after repeated examination and comparison to other images of Liddell. Nicholas Burnett, a picture conservationist with specialized knowledge in 19th century photography technology has stated that he believes the inscription upon the photograph which states "Lorina Liddell, Carroll, Col, MC" is actually a dealers notation which states what the photograph is of, where it came from, and denotes that it's part of a collection, hence the abbreviation "col". It's unclear what "MC" stands for as the Musée Cantini does not use this abbreviation, but it could possibly stand for "Musée Cantini". Carroll photographed the Liddell girls during the 1860's which is crucial because the photograph in question has a slow growth mold which is difficult to reproduce fraudulently, beneath a thin layer of egg white albumin used as an outer coating. This photograph is known to have been cropped as the negative is larger than the print which is impossible to achieve unless the photograph itself was cut down. Carrol favored using an Ottawa Walls folding camera which is the same kind of camera which created the photograph in question. Finally, the print was made from a wet collodion negative which is a printing technique which Carroll is known to have used. If the photograph was from a later date, it would have used a paper negative which would have caused it to appear less crisp and clear. The evidence seems to suggest that Carroll did indeed take and develop the photograph. Forensic comparative analysis using modern scientific methods of comparing one photograph to another were used to examine the photograph and experts concluded that the girl in the photograph, is indeed Lorina as the eyes, specifically the epicanthic fold of the eyes, matches that of photographs of Lorina when she is in her adult years, as well as her elder years. The nose provides another example of evidence as the width of the nose at the nasion, meaning the point between the eyes and the bridge of the nose, the width of the alae (pronounced "ail-ee") which is the spongy part of the side of the nose, and the nostrils are all broadly consistent with later photographs of Lorina. The lips provide further evidence, and perhaps the most interesting of all the compiled evidence as the lips definitively show a Cupid's bow upon the upper lip, but also a lower lip which is prominent and protruding upon the right side, but not the left. These features forensically demonstrate that there is moderate likelihood that the photograph of the pubescent girl is indeed Lorina. The leader of the forensics team which evaluated the evidence at hand has gone on record to state that because no court case involved, it can confidently be stated that the photograph in question is in fact Lorina, however it should be noted that if a court case were pursuant, the evidence presented may not be enough to garner a conviction as its lacking solid, definitive proof, beyond and to the exclusion of reasonable doubt
The Illusion of Fibonacci's True Name
Fibonacci's name was created in 1838 by the Franco-Italian historian Guillaume Libri, and is short for "filius Bonacci" which means "son of Bonacci" in Italian. Fibonacci is also referred to as "Leonardo Bonacci", "Leonardo of Pisa" where he was born, and "Leonardo Bigollo Pisano" which means "Leonardo, traveler from Pisa" in Italian, a name which Fibonacci actually used himself
The First Time the Acronym "OMG" Was Used
The first time the acronym "OMG" was used in recorded history was by the British Admiral John Lord Fisher in 1917, which he wrote in a letter to Winston Churchill in reference to negative headlines about World War I
The Etymology of the Name "Jehova"
February 12, 2019 February 9, 2019 Leave a comment
The name "Jehova" (pronounced "yah-ho-vah") is derived from the Hebrew name "יְהֹוָה" (pronounced "yo-vah") which is based upon the Masoretic version of the Biblical Hebrew name "יהוה" (pronounced "yah-ho"). The name Jehova and all of its predecessors means "my lord" in Hebrew. The name Jehova is derived from the Greek "Iesous" (pronounced "ease-us"), from which the English name "Jesus" is derived. This Greek name is a rendering of the Hebrew name "ישוע" (pronounced "yeh-shu-ah") which is a variant of the base Hebrew name "יהושע" (pronounced "yo-shu-ah"). In English, this name is referred to as "Joshua". The name "Christ" is derived from the Greek term "khristos" (pronounced "kris-tus") which means "anointed" and is based upon the Greek term "khriein" (pronounced "kree-in") which means "anoint". Both of these Greek terms are derived from the Hebrew term "משיח" (pronounced "mi-sha") which means "messiah". The term "messiah" as well as the Hebrew name "משיח" mean "anointed", as their Greek counterpart does. This effectively means that Jesus Christ, messiah, and Jehova are all the same term with the same meaning as they are based upon the same root words and have the same translation
The Vocabulary of William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare had a vocabulary of approximately 65,000 words although he only utilized 31,534 of those words within his work. To provide a frame of reference, the average English speaking person of the modern day knows 10,000 – 20,000 words despite having an education many orders of magnitude more advanced than what Shakespeare was ever introduced to half a millennia ago
Giorgio Vasari; The Person Accredited with Creating the Term "Renaissance"
The person who is accredited with creating the term "renaissance" is Giorgio Vasari. Vasari published a book entitled "Le Vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori, e architettori" which means "The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects" in Italian. The book is often shortened in its title and called "The Lives of Artists". This book has over the centuries become the most influential art book of all time. Within the preface of the book, Vasari uses the term "rinascita" which means "rebirth" in Italian, to describe what was going on around him. Vasari stated that under the ancient Greeks and ancient Roman's, art and civilization reached it's highest levels of perfection, and that when the barbarians which are modern day Germans, arrived in Italy, the arts as a whole fell to ruins. The Renaissance is considered to have occurred between 1400 – 1600, with the beginning and end dates being slightly vague on each end

Q: Adding IBAction to a UIAlert I was trying to get my UIAlert to do two different actions when the buttons are clicked. When the user clicks restart, the game restarts and when main menu is clicked, the game should go to the main menu. The reset button is working fine but the IBAction keeps giving me errors about switching views.
// called when the player touches the "Reset Game" button
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    // the user clicked one of the OK/Cancel buttons
    if (buttonIndex == 0)
    {
        [self resetGame];
    }
    else
    {
        - (IBAction)showFlip:(id)sender {
            Menu *menuView = [[[menu alloc] init] autorelease];
            [gameView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
            [self presentModalViewController:menuView animated:YES];

        }

    }

    }

The reset works fine but I am getting two errors on the IBAction. 'showFlip' undeclared (first use in this function) and  expected ';' before ':' token. Don't understand why it would say this because when I post the IBAction outside of the alertview it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

A: You are defining a method, not calling one! This code
- (IBAction)showFlip:(id)sender {
            Menu *menuView = [[[menu alloc] init] autorelease];
            [gameView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
            [self presentModalViewController:menuView animated:YES];

        }

should not live inside this function. Pull it out to be
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    // the user clicked one of the OK/Cancel buttons
    if (buttonIndex == 0)
    {
        [self resetGame];
    }
    else
    {
        [self showFlip];
    }
}

-(void)showFlip{
    Menu *menuView = [[[menu alloc] init] autorelease];
    [gameView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
    [self presentModalViewController:menuView animated:YES];
}

A: You should try this:
// called when the player touches the "Reset Game" button
- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    // the user clicked one of the OK/Cancel buttons
    if (buttonIndex == 0)
    {
        [self resetGame];
    }
    else
    {
        [self showFlip:nil];
    }
}

- (IBAction)showFlip:(id)sender {
    Menu *menuView = [[[menu alloc] init] autorelease];
    [gameView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
    [self presentModalViewController:menuView animated:YES];
}

Sir John A. and D'Arcy McGee -- the Judgement of Our Times
We keep judging the conduct of past generations. In Canada, the controversy continues about whether to remove statues of Sir John A. Macdonald. And last week in Ireland, D'Arcy McGee -- who delivered the support of Irish Canadians to Sir John A. and for Confederation -- stood on trial before a jury of his... well, not his peers, exactly, given that his jury was very much alive while he, the witnesses, and the court officials were not!

With the constant news coverage of Ebola quarantines and the CSI-like tracking of the potential whereabouts of potentially infected healthcare workers, it is understandable if employers are concerned about their legal obligations regarding Ebola exposure or quarantine issues. Generally, Ebola is only transmitted by close contact with bodily fluids of an infected individual. However, the virulent nature of the disease as well as the high mortality rate (between 50-90 percent) has caused a media frenzy regarding the potential for an epidemic once the first case of domestically transmitted Ebola was confirmed. There are a number of federal and state laws which might impact an employer in responding to employee exposure events or the hysteria of an Ebola epidemic which might affect their workforce. OSHA has created a webpage which provides information on the medical background of Ebola, hazard recognition, applicable legal standards as well as potential safeguards for those employees most likely to experience exposure to infected individuals as a part of their job duties. Healthcare workers, mortuary workers and airline/travel personnel are the individuals most likely to encounter Ebola as part of their work duties. An employer has an overall duty to provide a safe workplace free from known hazards pursuant to OSHA's general duty clause. There are a number of ways in which your employees may be exposed to Ebola: a) your employees are required to travel to African countries with known outbreaks (Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone), b) you have employees who have visited relatives in those countries; c) your employees are healthcare workers who have been actively caring for Ebola infected patients; and most recently, d) your employees may have had contact with some of the individuals who have been infected with Ebola in the United States prior to their hospitalization (i.e., rode on the same plane as the nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola). While an employer has an obligation to provide a safe workplace, it would be potentially unlawful to immediately discharge an employee who may have been exposed to Ebola. An employee who has been exposed or is believed to have been exposed could claim that such treatment is unlawful discrimination on the basis of a disability as prohibited by the ADA. Even an employee who does not have the condition can claim that he or she is "regarded as" having a disability and thus would be covered. An employer must have more than simply a suspicion or fear of infection to utilize the defense that the employee poses a "direct threat" to the health and safety of the employee or others in order to terminate them. If the employee has been exposed to Ebola but is not symptomatic, to the extent that the employer concludes that providing a leave of absence during the 21-day incubation period is the appropriate course of action based on all the facts and circumstances, consider providing a paid administrative leave during that period. Of course, should the individual develop symptoms, he/she would be off work pending confirmation and treatment, and this leave time would likely be covered under the FMLA as well. Employers need to be careful not to react too quickly without sufficient medical information. As we have seen with the nurse in Maine, even where a state asserts that a mandatory quarantine is required as a matter of public safety, it has been rejected when the nurse had no symptoms and tested negative for the Ebola virus. The notice that one of your employees has potentially been exposed to an infected individual may cause your other non-exposed employees to refuse to report to work. If other employees refuse to work with that employee, terminating those employees based on their fear of catching Ebola could be an unfair labor practice if the actions taken by multiple employees are deemed to be "protected concerted activity" under the National Labor Relations Act for the mutual aid and protection of the workforce as a whole. If the potentially infected employee is put out on some form of administrative leave, then other employees would not have cause to refuse to come to work. Employers face myriad legal issues surrounding the Ebola outbreak and would be well-advised to seek legal counsel before taking action against either an employee suspected of being infected or other employees reacting to such news.

Web Traffic is surprisingly strong considering the very poor job I've done adding quality content to the site lately.
It has been a year since we started posting actual Google Analytics and Adsense statistics for DisplacedGuy.Com. They have become very popular but we've been told that it is hard to locate each of the reports especially for new readers who would like to view them from the beginning in order.
March 2011 turned in around $9.11 in Adsense revenue just down from February 2011 at $9.83. The highest revenue month is still October 2010 at $14.71. Most of the newer sites, deployed after DisplacedGuy.Com have overtaken it for adsense revenue because they cover niches that are better suited toward monetization with Adsense ads.
I need to learn other ways to monetize websites. Look for info on this soon.
I need to share techniques learned for using Adsense Channels.
Here are some graphics for the month. If you have any specific graphics you'd like to see please say something in the comment or email me.
This has improved to over three pages per visitor which is respectable for a site like DisplacedGuy.Com especially considering that the number of articles written per month is down severely in 2011. I am very open to guest bloggers please don't be afraid to contact me about a guest article, see my prior article which talks about different ways to generate traffic and steal traffic from your competitors without them even knowing it (ethically and legally of course).
Bounce Rate in Google Analytics is looking very nice for the month. This means fewer visitors are leaving the site before reading an article. Bounce Rate is a good measure of quality, the lower the better.
Remember that some data may be reported in multiple channels artificially inflating total earnings numbers. These are for channels spanning a few of my websites, I greyed out some that were obvious entries for the other sites. This should illustrate a new strategy I'm using in creation of Adsense Channels.
You are allowed to attach five channels to an Ad, so I created five distinct "groups" as suggested by the help in Google Analytics. One is for the domain, one for position (e.g. Top, Middle, Bottom), one for size, one for demographic, and finally one for category. This gives you a nice view across multiple domains about which things work, notice "Above the Fold" is a top performer. If you do this and allow advertisers to see your channels they can choose to advertise on your website using your custom and easy to understand channels!
This has been another slow month for article writing. I encourage anyone to contact me about guest blogging to help promote your website! See this article for details about how to guest blog and steal your competitors readers.
Have you ever considered about adding a bit more than your articles?
Thanks for providing us such a great information…It is very useful and fantastic post!!!

Please help me welcome today's guest blogger, Michelle Cooper. Michelle, a librarian at Henderson Middle School in Henderson, Texas, is passionate about helping young people succeed by promoting information literacy, creativity, research, and problem solving. She is an Outstanding Texas Educator, Co-founder of #TXLchat, Texas Accelerated Library Leader (TALL Texan) 2013, Nerdy Book Club Blogger, guest speaker at the School Library Journal online event The Digital Shift: Reinventing Libraries, and a frequent presenter for education associations. For more information about Michelle (aka The Library Lady) visit her blog.
Librarian: The Best Job in the World!
The only experience better than reading a good book is sharing that book with a young person. I am fortunate enough to have that opportunity every single day. Most days students rush in and out of the library finishing up assignments, researching topics of interest and searching for a good read.
One day, I noticed a change. Students began getting busier and busier. I saw them check out books less often. Students told me repeatedly, "Mrs. Cooper, I do not have time to come to the library!" Listening to them tell me why they could not spend time reading made my heart hurt. I knew something must be done. So, I decided to bring the library to the students.
On Fridays, at lunch, I dress up in an outlandish costume and push a cart of books to the cafeteria. I check the books out using the library app we have at Henderson ISD. I decided to dress up, so the students would not be able to miss me in the busy cafeteria. Dressing up for me really has two purposes. My costumes make everyone laugh and spread cheer. Secondly, it is a conversation starter with the students. I love getting to know our young people and helping them with their studies. The cafeteria is a relaxed social setting, and the students feel free to share all their great ideas and dreams with me. When students need academic help, they now see the librarian as their first resource. In addition to all the fun I have had, book circulation increased nineteen percent as a result of bringing books to the students.
I became a teacher and a librarian because I truly want to make a difference in the lives of our students. I am passionate about helping young people succeed. The students are the reason I love my job. They have great ideas to share, and I learn so much from them. I could not imagine having a different occupation. I am blessed to be a librarian at Henderson ISD.
Thank you Michelle for focusing your passion for sharing books with students in such a creative way!
Such great costumes!! And what a great way to connect with your students!
Michelle, you are AWESOME! How cool/special that you take the time to bring the books to them (and in costume, no less). I guarantee that you will be remembered by the students the rest of their lives, not only for the reading material you brought them, but for the enthusiasm you do it with . Well-done, you!

Marshall Dennehey attorneys successfully argued the appeal of a summary judgment motion before the Appellate Division, First Department, affirming the trial court's order granting summary judgment to its client. We represented the owner of a construction project, a high-rise residential building. The plaintiff worked for a cleaning company that performed "final cleans" of the apartments, which consisted of cleaning each apartment after construction was completed. The plaintiff fell from a kitchen counter while cleaning the top of a cabinet. The main issue in the case was whether the plaintiff's work qualified for protection under Labor Law 240(1), which imposes absolute liability on owners of construction projects for workers who fall from a height. Protection under 240(1) depended on whether the plaintiff's "cleaning" work was protected under the statute, which required the application of a four-factor analysis from a recent Court of Appeals case, Soto v. J. Crew, Inc., 21 N.Y.3d 562 (2013). In one of the first appellate cases to interpret Soto, the court upheld the trial court's decision.


It's really important to make sure you are realistic about the price you will receive for your property - you don't want to set the price too high that it's difficult to sell, or too low that you end up losing money!
When selling your Spanish property, there are a number of things that you will need to consider and one of the most important of these is the price that you will receive for your property. Judging the market is key here, but then it is also very important to ensure you make your money back. If you set your property price too high then it may not sell, but too low and it may be snapped up straight away and lose you money.
We recommend enlisting the help of the estate agent who helped you find your property in the first place. In theory, your property will be attractive to other British expats, so they should know the best ways to get their attention. They should also be an expert in the local area, meaning you can trust their advice on a variety of subject about the local area and the price that you should receive. To sell your property, it will be in their interest to advise you well so that they receive your commission, so it's important to trust them.
Research the market: assess market reports for properties in the area, and any trends. Your agent should be able to make sure you understand your options and how the market is looking.
Get to know the local area: conduct research online, and see what else is available in the area. Look at the similar properties that are currently for sale, along with their expected prices, as well as those similar properties that have already sold – and how much they went for. This will enable you to make sure your asking price is competitive.
Think about how your buyer will look at your property: does your property offer good prospects to the new buyer? Are there particular features that you think would be attractive that you could highlight; equally, are there features that you think you need to change to ensure a sale?
Understand all costs: make sure you are fully aware of all the costs that you will need to pay, including all taxes, fees and expenses. If you look at the eventual selling price as a gross amount, you will be able to able to deduct these costs to understand your net return.
Make sure you are happy to sell right now: you may get more money if you wait to sell the property… although of course, you may get less! It's a good idea to weigh up your options in the market to see if if you can afford to stick around.

After These Revelations, No Wonder Why Federalist Co-Founder Called Comey the 'Most Corrupt...Individual' to Ever Serve the FBI

There was a time where I like James Comey. I thought he was a professional, impartial, and someone who was in a hopeless situation concerning the 2016 election. Any conclusion he made about the FBI's review of the Hillary Clinton email server was going to be trashed. If he recommended charges, the Democrats would go nuts. If he didn't, the Republicans would go nuts. And any decision would be seen as the bureau weighing in heavily on a political matter. It was a no-win situation. The FBI was going to be torched no matter what it did—and it did have cause to investigate whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information while serving as President Obama's secretary of state. All official business was done on that homebrew server that was unauthorized and unsecured. And yes, it was breached by foreign entities.
Graham: "The former FBI director James @Comey said this week that your report vindicates him. Is that a fair assessment of your report?"
Horowitz: "The activities we found here don't vindicate anybody who touched this."

James Comey's leadership at the FBI is being exposed today as reckless and incompetent (at best), corrupt and malicious (at worst).
And Democrats still think Trump *obstructed* justice by firing him.
THANK GOD @realDonaldTrump FIRED COMEY.
— Larry O'Connor (@LarryOConnor) December 11, 2019
Comey was fired for cause over mishandling the email probe, specifically going around then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and announcing an end to the investigation, along with the decision to not file charges against the former first lady. And now, we've all learned that he was just as shady as the rest of the resistance crowd at the Department of Justice. First, the DOJ inspector general's report on FISA abuses during the 2016 election exposed the ex-FBI director as a total liar when it comes to knowing the origins of the Trump dossier. He knew it was a Clinton-funded opposition research project, despite saying he didn't know what the deal was with the document with Fox News' Bret Baier (via The Federalist) [bold text indicates IG report] :
In April 2018, former FBI Director James Comey appeared on Fox News with Bret Baier. Looking back at this clip after the release of the Inspector General's FISA report, it is evident Comey lied to Baier about knowing Christopher Steele's dossier was funding by the Democratic National Convention and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
During the interview, Baier pressed Comey about his knowledge on the Steele dossier. Comey claimed he did not know for a fact that the Steele dossier was funded by the DNC or the Clinton campaign.
The IG report shows that Comey was indeed informed of the funding of the dossier. According to the report, on October 12, 2016, then-National Security Division (NSD) Assistant Attorney General Stuart Evans raised concerns to both Comey and Andrew McCabe about the DNC and Clinton campaign funding the Steele dossier.
On October 12, 2016, Evans's concerns about Steele were briefed to Comey and McCabe in a meeting attended by at least [E.W] Priestap, [Peter] Strzok, Lisa Page, and the OGC unit Chief. According to notes of the meeting, the group discussed that Evans was concerned Steele may have been hired by someone associated with Hillary Clinton or the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and that the read copy of the FISA application would not be filed with the court that day so that Evans could further assess the potential bias. …
Following the meeting, the OGC Unit Chief emailed [Deputy General Counsel Trisha] Anderson and and the OGC Attorney on October 12 and advised them that the concerns Evans had raised were discussed with Comey and McCabe.
Nonetheless, Comey lied to Americans in order to keep up the appearance that the Steele dossier was in some way legitimate or that he was unaware of its illegitimacy.
And remember how he denied there was a Trump wiretap …until we discovered that Trump Tower was indeed…wiretapped, as Paul Manafort's apartment in the building was under surveillance (via WSJ):
Wait... @Comey told me there was no wiretap!!! https://t.co/GCsD3UmRXb
CNN reported …that the FBI obtained a warrant last year to eavesdrop on Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump's campaign manager from May to August in 2016. The story claims the FBI first wiretapped Mr. Manafort in 2014 while investigating his work as a lobbyist for Ukraine's ruling party. That warrant lapsed, but the FBI convinced the court that administers the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to issue a second order as part of its probe into Russian meddling in the election.
Guess who has lived in a condo in Trump Tower since 2006? Paul Manafort.
The story suggests the monitoring started in the summer or fall, and extended into early this year. While Mr. Manafort resigned from the campaign in August, he continued to speak with Candidate Trump. It is thus highly likely that the FBI was listening to the political and election-related conversations of a leading contender for the White House. That's extraordinary—and worrisome.
Mr. Comey told Congress in late March that he "had no information that supports those [Trump] tweets." Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was even more specific that "there was no such wiretap activity mounted against—the President-elect at the time, or as a candidate, or against his campaign." He denied that any such FISA order existed. Were they lying?
James Comey is the most corrupt, duplicitous, dishonest individual to ever serve as director of the FBI. He is a liar, a leaker, and a disgrace.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) December 9, 2019
It's no wonder why Federalist co-founder Sean Davis ripped into Comey, calling him one of the most corrupt and duplicitous people to ever run the FBI. With all of the dirty laundry being aired, and this just scratches the surface, it's not wrong to say that.

Reading: Aborted and Refractory Status Epilepticus Compared
Aborted and Refractory Status Epilepticus Compared
Clinical and EEG characteristics, etiologies, treatment response, and predictors of long-term outcome were determined in 154 children with status epilepticus (SE) hospitalized at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, 1994-2004.
Keywords: Status Epilepticus, Refractory SE, Nonconvulsive SE
How to Cite: Millichap, J.G., 2008. Aborted and Refractory Status Epilepticus Compared. Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 22(5), pp.39–39. DOI: http://doi.org/10.15844/pedneurbriefs-22-5-8
Clinical and EEG characteristics, etiologies, treatment response, and predictors of long-term outcome were determined in 154 children with status epilepticus (SE) hospitalized at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, 1994-2004. Patients with status aborted with medication (ASE) in 69% were compared to 39% with refractory SE (RSE). SE was defined as continuous tonic-clonic or electrographic seizure activity for at least 10 min or intermittent seizure activity without recovery of consciousness for at least 30 min [1]. Etiology of SE was acute symptomatic in 26%, remote symptomatic 35%, idiopathic 20%, and febrile in 10%. RSE compared to ASE was significantly associated with a higher family history of seizures, higher number of seizures and AEDs, nonconvulsive SE, and focal or electrographic seizures on initial EEG. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher with RSE (13.3%) than ASE (2.1%). RSE patients developed more neurological deficits and more epilepsy at long-term follow-up than ASE children. More aggressive treatment resulted in better responses and outcomes. Poor outcome risk factors included long seizure duration, acute symptomatic etiology, nonconvulsive SE, and young age (<5 years) at admission. Prospective, randomized trials of different treatment protocols are advocated. [2]
COMMENT. Status epilepticus in children is refractory in 40%, and RSE is related to family history, number of seizures and AEDs, nonconvulsive status, and initial EEG abnormalities. Etiology is an important determinant of outcome, especially acute symptomatic causes. Identification of these risk factors should lead to more aggressive therapy and better outcome.

Recently I was working on a project that contained an ASP.NET Wizard Control. The control was configured to allow non-linear progression through the WizardSteps. I realized that I needed to know which step the user had been on previously, as that would determine which control would have focus in the current step.
So I Googled, and was able to find out that I could use the Wizard Control's GetHistory method to find the previous step. GetHistory returns a collection of the WizardStepBase objects that have been accessed, arranged in the order that they were accessed – the first object in the collection is the WizardStep that was accessed last, the next is the WizardStep that was accessed second-to-last, etc.
OK, so far, so good. But the MSDN documentation didn't include an example of how to use the GetHistory method, and neither did the couple other mentions I found in other articles – they all said you could do it, but they didn't say how.

The week was uneventful, the slowest since the last week in January, with only 9 sales, far below the 2011 average of 16 sales. We had a gust of activity from February thru April, when a lot of the upper end inventory sold. For example: Some of the new construction, like the Laureate Condo at 2150 Broadway, sold half of its 70 units since the end of February. But after an accelerated Spring market, it seems we are now settling down.
The No. 1 listed sale of the week goes to a three bedroom apartment in the Pierre Hotel at 795 Fifth Avenue, asking $10,995,000. It sold within 4 months, and its defining feature is three major rooms overlooking Central Park. The monthly maintenance is $9,641, and owners have access to all the hotel services.

The United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) face daunting challenges in the Baltic region. Russia is behaving aggressively. Its military is more capable than it has been at any point since the end of the Cold War. More importantly, Russia is finding creative ways to subvert the status quo and to sow discord without triggering Article 5 of NATO, which declares that an attack against one member is an attack against all.
These problems are formidable, but we have reason to be optimistic. Far from shattering NATO's cohesion and undermining its resolve, Russian aggression has reinvigorated the alliance. Nor is Russia an unstoppable adversary. It has many weaknesses. Indeed, Russian fears over those vulnerabilities might be driving its aggressive foreign policy. Even if this is not the case and Russia is indeed a relentless predator, it is nevertheless a vulnerable one.
The United States and its NATO allies can take advantage of these vulnerabilities. After assessing Russian intentions, capabilities, and limitation, this monograph recommends a hedging strategy to improve early detection capabilities, enhance deterrence in unprovocative ways, and improve regional defenses against a hybrid threat. Achieving these goals should help the United States deter Russia and reassure regional allies more effectively while managing our own worst fears.

Nova Scotia veteran whose medals were stolen receives good news
December 28, 2021 by Editorial staff
A Nova Scotia veteran who had his medals stolen from his hotel room earlier this year will soon have a new Meritorious Service Medal.
Michael Deutsch, a retired Major recently posted to CFB Greenwood in Nova Scotia, stayed at the Lord Nelson Hotel in November to visit his two sons.
He had planned to attend the Remembrance Day ceremony in Halifax. He brought his uniform and medals, but a back injury prevented him from going.
During a visit with his family that week, Deutsch returned to his hotel room to find that he and his wife had been stolen and that four medals were among the missing items.
Adam Deutsch, Michael's son, said the story struck a chord with many Canadians. The family heard from people across the country, including former colleagues.
Then Michael Deutsch got a call from the Governor General's office.

He was told that his Meritorious Service Medal was being remelted into the original mold and that he would soon receive a replacement.
"There will be an 'R' on the medal to indicate it was a replacement," said Adam Deutsch in a recent interview. "But beyond that, it will be exactly the same.
"He was over the moon … He was so happy."
The only cost for Michael Deutsch will be to have his name engraved on the medal, which his son called marginal.
Adam Deutsch said a request has also been made to National Defense Headquarters for the replacement of the other stolen medals and he is optimistic that this will happen.
He said Michael Deutsch, who served for 41 years, did not expect the influx of support he received.
No progress in the police investigation
The Canadian Forces community is large, but tight-knit, said Adam Deutsch.
"They stepped in when they needed it," he said, adding that some had offered to help find the medals.
"The whole situation just got a lot bigger than expected and it was great to see how positive everyone was."
Michael Deutsch reported the incident to Halifax Regional Police.
Her son said the last update they received from investigators was an email from December 1, but no progress had been made in the case.
Lt. Yanick Hamel, spokesperson for the Canadian Armed Forces, said the organization does not systematically follow up requests for replacement of lost, stolen or destroyed medals.
However, he said there had been 500 replacement requests since 2019.
"Most of the claims are the result of losses in moves with much smaller numbers for break-ins, house fires and other circumstances," Hamel said in a statement.
He said there is no registry for lost or stolen medals. However, all replacements are marked with an "R" to make it easier to identify the original if it were to surface.

Wondrous Brutal Fictions - Eight Buddhist Tales from the Early Japanese Puppet Theater (Hardcover, New)
R. Keller Kimbrough
Ships in 10 - 15 working days
"Wondrous Brutal Fictions" presents eight seminal works from the seventeenth-century Japanese sekkyo and ko-joruri puppet theaters, many translated into English for the first time. Both poignant and disturbing, they range from stories of cruelty and brutality to tales of love, charity, and outstanding filial devotion, representing the best of early Edo-period literary and performance traditions and acting as important precursors to the Bunraku and Kabuki styles of theater.
As works of Buddhist fiction, these texts relate the histories and miracles of particular buddhas, bodhisattvas, and local deities. Many of their protagonists are cultural icons, recognizable through their representation in later works of Japanese drama, fiction, and film. The collection includes such "sekkyo" "sermon-ballad" classics as "Sansho Dayu," " Karukaya," and "Oguri," as well as the " "old joruri"" plays "Goo-no-hime" and "Amida's Riven Breast." R. Keller Kimbrough provides a critical introduction to these vibrant performance genres, emphasizing the role of seventeenth-century publishing in their spread. He also details six major " sekkyo" chanters and their playbooks, filling a crucial scholarly gap in early Edo-period theater. More than fifty reproductions of mostly seventeenth-century woodblock illustrations offer rich, visual foundations for the critical introduction and translated tales. Ideal for students and scholars of medieval and early modern Japanese literature, theater, and Buddhism, this collection provides an unprecedented encounter with popular Buddhist drama and its far-reaching impact on literature and culture.
American Sutra - A Story of Faith and Freedom in the Second World War (Paperback)
Duncan Ryuken Williams
R433 R396 Discovery Miles 3 960 Save R37 (9%)
A Los Angeles Times Bestseller "Raises timely and important questions about what religious freedom in America truly means." -Ruth Ozeki "A must-read for anyone interested in the implacable quest for civil liberties, social and racial justice, religious freedom, and American belonging." -George Takei On December 7, 1941, as the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, the first person detained was the leader of the Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist sect in Hawai'i. Nearly all Japanese Americans were subject to accusations of disloyalty, but Buddhists aroused particular suspicion. From the White House to the local town council, many believed that Buddhism was incompatible with American values. Intelligence agencies targeted the Buddhist community, and Buddhist priests were deemed a threat to national security. In this pathbreaking account, based on personal accounts and extensive research in untapped archives, Duncan Ryuken Williams reveals how, even as they were stripped of their homes and imprisoned in camps, Japanese American Buddhists launched one of the most inspiring defenses of religious freedom in our nation's history, insisting that they could be both Buddhist and American. "A searingly instructive story...from which all Americans might learn." -Smithsonian "Williams' moving account shows how Japanese Americans transformed Buddhism into an American religion, and, through that struggle, changed the United States for the better." -Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer "Reading this book, one cannot help but think of the current racial and religious tensions that have gripped this nation-and shudder." -Reza Aslan, author of Zealot
Ten Tales from Tibet - Cultivating Compassion (Hardcover)

R241 R187 Discovery Miles 1 870 Save R54 (22%)
"This special little book is one to own and keep. Quickly read it through then return again and again to slowly absorb the simple wisdom of the tales and be inspired by the stark soaring photographs of Tibet's landscape." - Cygnus Review Ten Tales from Tibet offers ten gentle, yet powerful, lessons exploring compassion, the very essence of Buddhism. A collection of poetic re-tellings distilled from ancient oral tradition, the stories have been specially chosen by Lama Lhakpa Yeshe because they demonstrate a beautiful wisdom in a simple, yet profound way, and teach us how to nurture the singular human quality that defines us all. Introduced by global peace and environment campaigner, Satish Kumar, a pupil of Lama Lhakpa Yeshe, and illustrated with photography by fellow Buddhist Matthieu Ricard, this is a beautifully crafted book and unique guide to opening our hearts and minds by cultivating compassion--helping others and ourselves--to find joy, peace, and happiness.
The Canonical Book of the Buddha's Lengthy Discourses, Volume 3 (Hardcover)
Shohei Ichimura
Ships in 7 - 11 working days
This is the third and concluding volume in this translation of The Canonical Book of the Buddha's Lengthy Discourses (Taisho 1). Volume 3 contains sutras 21-30 and was preceded by Volumes 1 (sutras 1-10) and 2 (sutras 11-20). The importance of the work may be signified by its position as the first work to lead off the Taisho edition of the canon. The BDK English Tripitaka Series is an ongoing project to translate the complete Taisho edition of the Chinese Mahayana canon. The work is translated by Shohei Ichimura from the Chinese Chang ahan jing. The Chang ahan jing was translated into Chinese from the Sanskrit Dirgha Agama in the fifth century by the monks Buddha yasas and Zhu Fonian. One of the four Agamas upheld by the orthodox Dharmagup-taka school, the Dirgha Agama has many parallels with the Pali Digha Nikaya preserved in the Theravada tradition, but it is unique in two ways. First, the Agama editors organized the sutras in four major sections, reflecting their major concerns: (1) the centrality of Shakyamuni Buddha as the primary subject, (2) the importance of the Dharma and doctrine, (3) the resultant practice, discipline, and advanced spiritual states, and (4) a record of the cosmological origins of the world. Second, the "Sutra of Cosmology," which is not found in the Pali Digha Nikaya, was added as the last text in the collection in order to present the Buddha's teaching more effectively and attractively to a non-Buddhist audience. Some scholars suggest that the underlying principle of the Chang ahan jing reflects a conciliatory impulse intended to bridge the early Buddhist teachings with Mahayana Buddhist teaching and scriptures.
Eminent Buddhist Women (Paperback)
Karma Lekshe Tsomo
R651 Discovery Miles 6 510
"Eminent Buddhist Women" reveals the exemplary legacy of Buddhist women through the centuries. Despite the Buddha s own egalitarian values, Buddhism as a religion has been dominated by men for more than two thousand years. With few exceptions, the achievements of Buddhist women have remained hidden or ignored. The narratives in this book call into question the criteria for eminence in the Buddhist tradition and how these criteria are constructed and controlled. Each chapter pays a long-overdue tribute to one woman or a group of women from across the Buddhist world, including the West. Using a variety of sources, from orally transmitted legends to firsthand ethnographic research, contributors examine the key issues women face in their practice of Buddhist ethics, contemplation, and social action. What emerges are Buddhist principles that transcend gender: loving kindness, compassion, wisdom, spiritual attainment, and liberation."
Transcending Time - An Explanation of the Kalacakra Six-session Guru Yoga (Paperback)
Gen Lamrimpa; Translated by B. Alan Wallace
Inspired by years of scholarly training and decades of solitary retreat, Tibetan monk Gen Lamrimpa offers a concise overview of all phases of the Kalachakra practice: the preliminaries, the initiation, and finally, the stages of generation and completion. With remarkable clarity, he makes the Six-Session Guruyoga practice accessible to all practitioners, and deepens our understanding and appreciation of this sublime teaching of the Buddha.
Gen Lamrimpa begins this eminently practical explanation by emphasizing the importance of a compassionate motivation for spiritual practice. He then explores the nature of suffering and the cycle of existence that traps all living beings, and concludes with a detailed account of the Six-Phase Yoga, which is meant to be recited and contemplated three times during the day and three times at night. Alan Wallace's introduction illuminates both Kalachakra's rich history and Gen Lamrimpa's unique contribution to our understanding.
This book provides a clear explanation of Kalachakra as set forth within the context of the Six-Session Guruyoga, a daily meditation practice for initiates. "Transcending Time" presents all phases of Kalachakra practice--the preliminaries, the initiation, and finally, the stages of generation and completion.

Living Karma - The Religious Practices of Ouyi Zhixu (Hardcover)
Beverley Foulks McGuire
Ouyi Zhixu (1599--1655) was an eminent Chinese Buddhist monk who, contrary to his contemporaries, believed karma could be changed. Through vows, divination, repentance rituals, and ascetic acts such as burning and blood writing, he sought to alter what others understood as inevitable and inescapable. Drawing attention to Ouyi's unique reshaping of religious practice, "Living Karma" reasserts the significance of an overlooked individual in the modern development of Chinese Buddhism.
While Buddhist studies scholarship tends to privilege textual analysis, "Living Karma" promotes a balanced study of ritual practice and writing, treating Ouyi's texts as ritual objects and his reading and writing as religious acts. Each chapter addresses a specific religious practice -- writing, divination, repentance, vows, and bodily rituals -- offering first a diachronic overview of each practice within the history of Chinese Buddhism and then a synchronic analysis of each phenomenon through close readings of Ouyi's work. The book sheds much-needed light on this little-known figure and his representation of karma, which proved to be a seminal innovation in the religious thought of late imperial China.

Russian Orthodoxy and the Russo-Japanese War (Hardcover)
Betsy C. Perabo
How should Christians think about the relationship between the exercise of military power and the spread of Christianity? In Russian Orthodoxy and the Russo-Japanese War, Betsy Perabo looks at the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5 through the unique concept of an 'interreligious war' between Christian and Buddhist nations, focusing on the figure of Nikolai of Japan, the Russian leader of the Orthodox Church in Japan. Drawing extensively on Nikolai's writings alongside other Russian-language sources, the book provides a window into the diverse Orthodox Christian perspectives on the Russo-Japanese War - from the officials who saw the war as a crusade for Christian domination of Asia to Nikolai, who remained with his congregation in Tokyo during the war. Writings by Russian soldiers, field chaplains, military psychologists, and leaders in the missionary community contribute to a rich portrait of a Christian nation at war. By grounding its discussion of 'interreligious war' in the historical example of the Russo-Japanese War, and by looking at the war using the sympathetic and compelling figure of Nikolai of Japan, this book provides a unique perspective which will be of value to students and scholars of both Russian history, the history of war and religion and religious ethics.

Buddhism Without Beliefs (Paperback, New edition)
Stephen Batchelor
In "Buddhism Without Beliefs," author Stephen Batchelor reminds us that the Buddha was not a mystic. His awakening was not a shattering insight into a transcendent truth that revealed to him the mysteries of God, and he did not claim to have had an experience that granted him privileged, esoteric knowledge of how the universe ticks. What the Buddha taught, says Batchelor, is not something to believe in but something to do. He challenged people to understand the nature of anguish, let go of its origins, realize its cessation, and bring into being a way of life. This way of life is available to all of us, and Batchelor explains clearly and compellingly how we can practice it and live it every day. Each chapter of Batchelor's book examines how to work toward awakening realistically, with the understanding that embarking on this path does not mean never deviating from it.

Sarnath - A Critical History of the Place Where Buddhism Began (Paperback)
Frederick M. Asher
Sarnath has long been regarded as the place where the Buddha preached his first sermon and established the Buddhist monastic order. Excavations at Sarnath have yielded the foundations of temples and monastic dwellings, two Buddhist reliquary mounds (stupas), and some of the most important sculptures in the history of Indian art. This volume offers the first critical examination of the historic site. Frederick M. Asher provides a longue duree (long-term) analysis of Sarnath-including the plunder, excavation, and display of antiquities and the Archaeological Survey of India's presentation-and considers what lies beyond the fenced-in excavated area. His analytical history of Sarnath's architectural and sculptural remains contains a significant study of the site's sculptures, their uneven production, and their global distribution. Asher also examines modern Sarnath, which is a living establishment replete with new temples and monasteries that constitute a Buddhist presence on the outskirts of Varanasi, the most sacred Hindu city.
Vivid Awareness (Paperback)
In the summer of 1957, the revered Buddhist teacher and scholar Khenpo Gangshar foresaw the difficulties that would soon fall upon Tibet and began teaching in a startling new way that enabled all those who heard him to use the coming difficulties as the path of Dharma practice. The teaching consisted of the essential points of mahamudra and dzogchen, both view and practice, presented in a way that made them easy for anyone to use, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche was one of the grateful recipients of these teachings, which he regards as among the most important he has ever been given. He transmits them here, for the benefit of all of us who strive to practice in challenging times. They include contemplations on the ephemeral nature of both joy and suffering, meditations for resting the mind, and guidance for cultivating equanimity in any situation.

This is a favorite and regular dish in the Sark household and always eaten with the bulgur wheat meat-filled kibbeh footballs. The soup is easy. The kibbeh, if done traditionally, require skills that dr bob could not pick up in one sitting, while ani refuses to get involved with it because of the labor intensive process of forming the little suckers, so we have to rely on Isgouhi for this treat. The combination of the yogurt mint flavor and the kibbeh is exceptional, so an alternative solution to this problem must be found.
Boil the rice in water with a pinch of salt until the rice is softened, about 15 minutes.
Wisk together the yogurt, egg, salt and juice of 1/2 lemon until smooth.
Stir the yogurt mixture into the rice with the additional water and stir over high heat until it boils (about 10 minutes).
Turn the heat down to medium and add the mint, butter and salt, and continue boiling another 5 minutes.
Taste. If the yogurt is not tart enough (storebought versus homemade), add the remaining juice of 1/2 lemon.
Add the kibbeh (whether raw or baked) to the yogurt soup, bring to a boil and continue boiling about 10 minutes.
Serve 2 or 3 kibbeh per bowl in the yogurt soup.
Remove the uneaten kibbeh from the soup before storing leftovers in the refrigerator to prevent them from thickening the yogurt soup and absorbing too much of the yogurt soup in return. Return the kibbeh to the yogurt soup to reheat.
The grains of rice should lose their identity in the soup, so one needs a long grain rice which will do that.
Here is a sheet of them just removed from the oven, and then swimming in the yogurt soup, and a couple of serving shots:  .
The flat sheet version of kibbeh will ultimately prove to be our unskilled solution to this problem.

Laura-Leah Shaw, REALTOR® from Vancouver, selected for national award celebrating wide range of philanthropic work
OTTAWA, March 27, 2017 – The Canadian REALTORS Care® Foundation has named Laura-Leah Shaw, of Vancouver, British Columbia, the recipient of its national award – the Canadian REALTORS Care® Award 2017 Proudly Presented by REM.
Shaw, of RE/MAX Crest Realty Westside, was selected because of the multitude of charities and activist organizations she actively supports. From supporting Vancouver-based homeless shelters and spearheading animal rights' groups, to dropping off items at city food banks and being the longest-serving volunteer of the REALTORS Care® Blanket Drive, Shaw fully devotes herself to helping others.
For more than 15 years, Shaw has been collecting healthy food options for the Lookout Society, an emergency aid organization helping Vancouver's most vulnerable. Last year, she delivered more than 2,500 boxes of food – as well as furniture, clothes and appliances – to the Lookout Society and similar organizations in the city's poorest neighbourhoods. She was also the first REALTOR® to join the HomeStart Foundation more than 11 years ago, helping those who are less fortunate complete their home.
As well as going above and beyond caring for humans, Shaw is passionate about the welfare of animals. She's president of the Anti-Vivisection Society of British Columbia, advocating for an end to animal testing, has been volunteering with the Vancouver Humane Society for 12 years and estimates having saved the lives of thousands of animals.
"Laura-Leah is a relentless force for good in her community," said Ralph Fyfe, chair of the Canadian REALTORS® Care Foundation. "Her noble commitment to helping others and working towards creating a cruelty-free world is truly inspiring."
In recognition of the award, the Canadian REALTORS Care® Foundation will be donating $5,000 to Animal Justice Canada – a registered non-profit animal law organization close to Shaw's heart.
"Being honoured with the Canadian REALTORS Care® Award is truly humbling. It's not an award for me, it's an award for all the people and animals in need that we can touch and help," Shaw said. "Helping those in need feeds my soul. I hope to be able to use the award to bring new ideas of how to help and encourage the generous giving spirit in even more REALTORS®."
The Canadian REALTORS Care® Award was established in 2015 to honour REALTORS® who do outstanding charitable work in the communities where they live and work. The Foundation's inaugural winner was Vince Mirabelli of Thunder Bay, Ontario. A selection committee reviews nominees and chooses a winner based on the REALTOR®'s personal contribution and commitment to supporting one or more registered charities in Canada.
About the Canadian REALTORS Care® Foundation
The Canadian REALTORS Care® Foundation is the REALTOR® community's national charitable foundation, founded in 2007 and funded by the Canadian Real Estate Association. Our Foundation is dedicated to inspiring, supporting and sharing REALTORS®' charitable achievements in their communities and raising awareness about the charities they care about.
From 2012 to 2015 alone, the Canadian REALTOR® community reported giving in excess of $91.2 million to the various charities close to their hearts. Please visit www.REALTORSCare.ca to learn more about how REALTORS® are making a difference in communities across Canada.

This meal is simple to make following the directions carefully is the key to success. Please read about my tricks discussed above before diving into the recipe. These tricks were learned over a course of years of making this recipe. Be sure to always start with preparing your vegetables and measuring all the ingredients before you start cooking, this will ensure that you don't forget something essential.
Be sure to use a cast iron or stainless steel skillet large enough to cook all of the meats. I use cast iron when ever I can. Also use a tall and heavy stainless steel stock pot to cook everything in. I avoid using nonstick stock pots for recipes that don't need them. It saves on their wear and also cooking food on high heat can damage nonstick ware.
When making sausage cabbage stew it is important to sauté the meat to until the sausage and meat balls are light brown before starting. The process of browning induces a chemical reaction called the "Milliard Reaction" which basically reduces some of the meat tissues to sugars, and the sugars are what burns, and this builds color, flavor, and texture.


What will Android 5.0 bring us?
There is so much good stuff in the Android universe. We have amazing phones, tons of apps and games and the best operating system around. Even with all that awesome at our fingertips, we are still looking to the future of Android. With Google I/O closing in, we expect to see the next iteration of Android. What will we see? What's it called? When can we have it?!
So many questions, and so many long months of waiting. Waiting in pure agony, fretting about what's coming around the corner. We know it's going to be good, but how good? Let's take this opportunity to ruminate and be hopeful. Let the speculation begin!
Google Now, the search and voice assistant for Android, is already the best around. Faster and more accurate than its competition, it's the most intuitive interface ever. Someone have a birthday? You might forget, but 'ol Google Now won't. When does that package arrive? Just pull up Google Now!
Even with all it does for us, it can improve. The voice actions are a little hit-and-miss, and its email intuition is suspect at times. Sometimes it notices when an email has packaging info, sometimes it doesn't. Those kinds of things improve with feedback and time, so look for Google to polish the edges of Google Now just a bit. It would be nice to be able to launch an app or play music just by barking orders and the inclusion of offline voice typing we have now lends itself to that. I know we're going to have cars that drive us around someday, but until then it's hands free driving.
I love Google Tasks. I know, I know… there are a bunch of really cool note taking apps with wonderful integration. You know what? The Google Tasks Chrome extension is phenomenal. Simple, clean, effective… and it links to my Android widget in real time. That widget is a third party widget, and isn't really integrated across the board.
It would be nice to have an official Google Tasks app and widget which was baked into Android 5.0 like all the other Google services. With so much talk of which note taking app is everyone's favorite, I think some official Google Tasks incorporation would work well.
By going all-in and adopting Tasks, Google could have a huge hit. Having that feature sync across multiple platforms would be the best part. Just starting with inclusion in the header bar would be nice, but why stop there? It's integrated with GMail, but not well. We have a ton of white space in Google+, so it has real estate available. It has a naturally symbiant relationship with Google Drive that is being ignored, also.
Think of it… you look up an address in Maps, and Google Now picks that up and gets you directions. The calendar notification that pops up on your phone knows you have a note about this event in Tasks, and links to it (Calendar and Tasks work together now, just not that well). That note keeps you aware of what you need to do at this location, which involves bringing a Google Drive document. You link to that document in Tasks (which could be integrated into Drive to make that easy), so when you get there it's simply a matter of opening Tasks and getting things done. Tasks could be a bit of a hub for productivity. How great would that integration be?
As with just about any other Android update, we'll get a camera fix. I like the camera on Jelly Bean a lot. The zoom is intuitive to how we interact with our devices, and the menu popping up wherever you touch is sublime. The panorama feature is still amazing, and the filters make photos fun again.
What does need improvement is photosphere. A really cool addition, it just doesn't work that well. The "stitching" of the photos is usually off, often by a lot. I'd like to be able to say it's my fault, but I just go where the next little blue dot is in photosphere. I have very little control on how the photos get cobbled together.
I'd also like for there to be some sort of Snapspeed integration. Google spent a lot of money on that acquisition, so I'm expecting it to be baked straight into the camera function at some point. With so many cool effects for pictures, it seems only natural to make it an integral part of the camera. Experienced photographers everywhere would love to be able to tinker with the shot before it's taken.
Better lock screen widgets, and more of them. Right now, Google's selection of lock screen widgets is weak. If lock screen widgets are here to stay, we need some variety. Checking the clock or email is great, but what about all the other great stuff Google has to offer us? I'd love to get a Google Currents widget with a shortcut to Android Authority!
Google has so many amazing services, it's hard to believe it didn't have more lock screen widgets available when it launched Jelly Bean. The possibilities are endless, really. A map widget for lock screens would be great, especially for travelers. With Ingress taking off, maybe we'll see a widget available for it. It makes sense to have a Play Store widget, also. Linking directly to your revenue stream seems like a no-brainer for Google.
The quick settings menu is a stroke of genius. No more diving deep into the menu, or occupying screen space with a bulky widget. Now, it's a simple drag-down menu. All the normal stuff is there, like Bluetooth, WiFi, and Airplane mode. Definitely more handy that what we dealt with before, but it can improve.
The only niggle I have with the quick settings menu is the lack of customization. I travel quite a bit, but someone else may not. A person who doesn't travel has very little need for Airplane mode. Sure, Airplane mode is just a name, but for what it accomplishes in turning off all transmission ability, people just aren't looking for that. The point is to be connected, not turn the world off. It would be nice to be able to add and remove functions. It would be especially cool if we could bury apps in there, specifically apps that control services. Each user has their own needs and wants and settings are an integral part of how we each use our device.
Google Talk is one of my favorite things on earth. It's the easiest chat function, and travels across platforms. I can be chatting on my desktop, leave the house and continue on my phone or tablet. I never miss a beat with a conversation and I don't have to make excuses for why I can't chat anymore. With text only working cross platform if you're registered with Google Voice, Google Talk is really the best option.
Then again, Google+ has a messenger function while Google Voice integrates with text messaging. You can video chat from either Talk or Messenger, but not Voice. It would be great to see all these consolidated into one amazing chat function. A nice cross-platform tool that unifies those disparate services. Android has a problem with fragmentation, both in OS and services. It needs to be addressed on all fronts, and combining these services is a great place to start.
Maybe we're ready, maybe we're not. If we are, then Google needs to start getting ready now. If we're getting Glass in 2014 as predicted, it needs integration now. That's right, our new Android update may come with some very deep Google Glass features built in. As we prepare for the probable launch of Google Glass in 2014, it makes sense that the head-wear will run Android. The issue may be that Google Glass needs a hacked version of Android, so the full version may just not be in the cards.
In reality, we have no concept of Glass. We have no real idea what Google Glass is supposed to be, or do, or how it's intended to work with us in our world. We know it's pretty cool, and puts a camera on our head. We know it is meant to show us things on this little screen in front of our eyes. We know it will make pirating movies easier. You know what, forget that last one. I shouldn't have even said that.
Seriously though, if Google Glass is really gonna happen, Android will have to see some integration. While Google Glass is a pretty cool concept, I don't see it as a standalone piece of hardware. I see it as a complement to your Android device. I don't think we've thought much beyond pictures and video, and it will give a great first-person perspective, but what else? If Google Glass is going to have voice integration as we've heard, then the aforementioned updates to Google Now will have to occur. It makes the most sense for the glasses to run Google Now for that function.
Rumors abound that the new Android will bring us an updated user interface. I can't see that happening, honestly. I think the point is to even out the changes, not increase the quantity of them. If you recall, Google recently asked developers to produce apps that were tablet friendly, and gave them a checklist of sorts to follow to accomplish that goal. Making them fit into the UI was a large part of that.
If you really want to raise the ire of a developer, change something without giving them proper notice. Developing apps is not easy, and changing the way you want it to look would go over really poorly with the group you're asking to support your platform. While for us as users it's fun and cute, to someone making their living from development, it may not be. I think there may be some very minor UI tweaks, but don't look for something like we saw when Gingerbread morphed into Honeycomb.
No, not for Android 5.0. I'm talking about battery life. More to the point, a battery management widget. There are many apps and widgets available from developers. Good ones, too, but I'd like this kind of thing to be built right in to Android. It seems that everyone's complaint with their awesome new Android phone rounds into a battery life discussion at some point. With so much focus on battery life, Google should really integrate some robust battery management features.
While something as simple as a 'battery saving mode' would be great, I'd like to see a little more depth. For instance, perhaps the ability to program how your phone acts during certain hours of the day. If you're at the office from 9 to 6 on weekdays, maybe the phone could be programmed to stop accessing data service for those hours. You may be at your desk, and having the phone accessing the same data as your desktop can is just wasteful. It could also be useful for task management. If your Google Play Music turns off at noon, you can spend the afternoon working diligently rather than fiddling with a playlist. If I can program an NFC tag to do these things, I should be able to get straight to the heart of the matter with my device settings.
Google, if you're listening, please hurry. Once the rumors start, I get restless. Just bump up I/O and give us our new dessert! Each Android iteration is a wonderland of fun, both exciting and revolutionary. Whatever Google does, I'm sure it will be amazing. I understand going into it that it won't have everything I want, but more than I need. Just, you know… don't forget December this time.
Like each Android release, it drives the roots deeper. As Android gets better, everything else seems that much further behind. Each Android iteration cements the OS's place in this world, and this release may do so more than we know. If you've noticed, I never referred to the new iteration by name. We've heard 'Key Lime Pie' tossed around, but nothing official has been announced. So, what would you name our new Android baby?

Q: What permissions do I need to grant a user that wants to view the definition of a stored procedure, function, view or trigger? If I want to allow a user to see the definition of a database object that they are not allowed to select or execute how would I do that?

A: With a few exceptions like pg_authid, all PostgreSQL metadata tables are readable by PUBLIC, that is everybody. In particular, you can get the function definition with
