VILLANOVA, PA. 5/13/2017 – It was a soggy Saturday at Villanova Stadium. The athletes competed in an all-day, steady rain that did not dampen the enthusiasm of the participants. In the end the Marquette Golden Eagles women's team retained their championship putting 195 points on the board. The DePaul Blue Demons men dethroned Marquette to take the team title by a 204 – 183 score.. Villanova women placed second scoring 176 points, while the men were in third place with 138 points.
DePaul and Marquette were strong in the field events, and that proved to be the difference. DePaul men's field athletes amassed 113 field points. The Marquette women had 144 in the field.
Villanova won a total of eight championships, five by the women and three by the men. Individually, Villanova was led by Siofra Cleirigh Buttner and Angel Piccrillo who had two championships.

On the variation of bi-periodic waves in the transverse direction
Diane M. Henderson, John D. Carter, Megan E. Catalano
Center for Computational Mathematics and Applications (CCMA)
Weakly nonlinear, bi-periodic patterns of waves that propagate in the (Formula presented.) -direction with amplitude variation in the (Formula presented.) -direction are generated in a laboratory. The amplitude variation in the (Formula presented.) -direction is studied within the framework of the vector (vNLSE) and scalar (sNLSE) nonlinear Schrödinger equations using the uniform-amplitude, Stokes-like solution of the vNLSE and the Jacobi elliptic sine function solution of the sNLSE. The wavetrains are generated using the Stokes-like solution of vNLSE; however, a comparison of both predictions shows that while they both do a reasonably good job of predicting the observed amplitude variation in (Formula presented.), the comparison with the elliptic function solution of the sNLSE has significantly less error when the ratio of (Formula presented.) -wavenumber to the two-dimensional wavenumber is less than about 0.25. For ratios between about 0.25 and 0.30 (the limit of the experiments), the two models have comparable errors. When the ratio is less than about 0.17, agreement with the vNLSE solution requires a third-harmonic term in the (Formula presented.) -direction, obtained from a Stokes-type expansion of interacting, symmetric wavetrains. There is no evidence of instability growth in the (Formula presented.) -direction, consistent with the work of Segur and colleagues, who showed that dissipation stabilizes the modulational instability. Finally, there is some extra amplitude variation in (Formula presented.), which is examined via a qualitative stability calculation that allows symmetry breaking in that direction.

Many of our clients take a hybrid approach to app development. By hybrid we mean using technologies such as Phonegap, Cordova, Appcelerator Titanium, and Sencha as part of their technology stack. Hybrid apps can benefit from cross platform mobile testing.
Companies choose the hybrid approach for several reasons. A major factor is the ability to release on multiple platforms at the same time. The decision of whether or not to make a hybrid app comes down to the skill sets of the various team members developing the app. There are also some downsides to going non-native, such as the possibility of limited features, rendering and responsiveness issues, or crashes on certain devices.
Our customers have asked us about the best testing practices for identifying and addressing these challenges. Our response is cross platform mobile testing. Since hybrid apps are developed from a common code base, it makes perfect sense to have functional UI test cases that can be executed on multiple platforms.
What are cross platform tests?
"Cross platform" refers to the idea that the same tests (scenarios) can be executed on multiple platforms and/or device types. Imagine your test framework being able to test your hybrid app on both Android and iOS while remaining robust, lean, and easy to maintain. Below we will discuss cross platform mobile testing for not only Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile, but also different devices, like tablets and phones.
In this article we will show you the benefits of cross platform tests, when you should consider them, and what the best practices are regarding them. We will use the Calabash framework as an example, which in our experience is very good when it comes to mobile test automation.
Let's stick to the Android and iOS example here. If you find that the following scenario describes the same functionality on both versions of your app, why not have it written only once and executed on both apps?
In all likelihood, the same test logic will apply for both your Android and iOS apps. Consider how much time we save by writing the scenario and step definitions once, instead of once for each OS.
Less code not only means that you can script your tests faster, but also that you will save time on maintaining and updating them.
Previously you may have had to write 1 or 2 tests individually, for every platform. Now, if your scenarios are the same for different platforms, you can reuse them. The only layer that will differ is #3, your screen objects. We will explain this in greater detail in a minute.
What apps can be automated this way?
If your app looks and behaves similarly on iOS and Android, or you don't have different user experiences between tablets and phones, there is a great chance you can benefit from cross platform mobile testing.
It's also great for hybrid apps, which are getting more and more popular, since these apps have a consistent look across different platforms.
On the other hand, if your apps are significantly different, it's better to have dedicated tests covering their unique functionalities. In such situations you should consider having only parts of your app tested the cross platform way. The same applies when the apps have different release cycles; it may be the case that some features are introduced on only one platform at first.
Keep in mind the 3 layers we mentioned. It's not always a good idea to make as many of them as uniform as possible. Sometimes it's better to have different step definitions for the same scenarios across platforms.
Consider the WordPress apps. Despite them both being native apps, they have very many similar features, and most of these features could be defined by the same scenarios.
The scenarios below can be used as an example of a cross platform test. This test applies for both the Android and iOS versions of the app.
How do we do it at testmunk?
At Testmunk we use the Calabash framework, together with the screen object approach, to deliver robust tests for our client's apps.
Is the app being tested.
Here we refer to the first screen of the app, which contains the login form; we called it "Welcome screen".
Email is an input field in the Welcome screen.
insert_text is a method used to fill in a field; n this case it fills the email field.
Imagine every screen of your app described this way. This is called the Screen Object or Page Object approach. Your test code is easy to use, organized, maintainable, and hidden from the business logic layer.
Ok, back to cross platform mobile testing. Having screen objects be cross platform is easy. All you really need to do is implement custom screen objects depending on the platforms you need to support, e.g. Android phone, Android tablet, iPhone, iPad, etc.
The details of how to touch a button or swipe a screen on Android and iOS are hidden behind the screen objects.
Cucumber (Calabash) provides a parameter called "profile" (-p) that can be used to load different page objects depending on the platform / device type you test on.
android/phone/ and ios/ipad/ contain the screen objects for each platform.
When executing on our cloud of devices (encompassing multiple platforms and devices), you don't have to worry about your config file. We will make sure that everything works smoothly and your app is ready for all markets.
Cross platform mobile testing is not for everyone or every app. However, cross platform mobile testing can be a powerful tool that saves time and effort, especially as hybrid apps become more prevalent. Many apps have similar user interfaces across operating systems, and these similarities can be harnessed to create tests which work on both Android and iOS (and even Windows Mobile). Cross platform mobile testing is something we embrace and which is becoming ever more important in modern testing. As devices and operating systems continue to fragment, it is imperative to have test scripts which are lean and yet strong, and embracing cross platform mobile testing is one way to help ensure tests remain easy to maintain and update.

Lukas is a QA Engineer at Testmunk helping some of the biggest iOS and Android apps to establish large scale automated test suites. Before discovering his passion for automation, he worked several years as a mobile app developer. He is passionate about agile and lean methodologies and in his free time he loves to ride his motorbike.

Holiday Lighting Ceremony at The Plaza in Kansas City
Kansas City's Plaza Lighting Ceremony
Traditional Lighting Ceremony
History of The Plaza
Other Christmas Events in Kansas City
Since 1925, The Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri has thrilled thousands of visitors across the world with its old-world design and thousands of lights!
Christmas is a magical time with good deeds and good cheer flooding everyone's heart with joy. Each and every city in the world shares and kick-offs the Christmas season in a special way, and the Kansas City Metro Area, which includes both Kansas and Missouri states, is no different.
In 1925 the Country Club Plaza hosted its first annual lighting ceremony which has remained a tradition for the residents of the Kansas City Metro area ever since. Each year on Thanksgiving night, thousands upon thousands of individuals kick-off the Christmas season in all types of weather and crowd the streets for the illumination of the Plaza Lights.
Entertainment during the Christmas festivity usually includes live music and fireworks. Warm-hearted songs and Christmas cheer fill the surrounding crowds huddled as near as they can move to the grandstand waiting for the flip of the switch.
Suddenly more than 100,000 colorful bulbs outline the fascinating structural designs of the old world style buildings.
How could an area is known for its "pig farming" district to become one of the most socially established areas in the Kansas City Metro area?
In 2007, the historic Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri achieved its 100th anniversary when J.C. Nichols, developer, started to purchase land in 1907. He chose the area near the Brush Creek Valley with the purpose of building a shopping district unlike any other.
Nichols hired Edward Buehler Delk, a renowned architect, to design the shopping district that would be a model for the future. He was recognized in the United States for his innovative architecture throughout the Midwest and Southwest.
For The Plaza, as it is commonly called, Delk designed a retail development area that opened to instantaneous success in 1923. The original architecture still stands as a classically European style shopping district with more than a hint of Spanish-Moorish motif. There are more than thirty statues, murals, and tile mosaics that attract artists and tourists from all over the world.
Built for automobiles and ease of walking, The Plaza was developed with parking lots hidden in convenient and comfortable locations throughout the shopping area. It has been considered not only the first but the longest-lasting "planned shopping center in the history of the world." (Community Builder: The Life & Legacy of J.C. Nichols, by Andres Duany)
"Nichol's Folly," as it was dubbed in the beginning, has continued to remain a success throughout almost a hundred years of change and newer shopping districts. The surrounding area developed with exclusive restaurants, apartments, and hotels as well as other main attractions such as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (opened December 11, 1933).
In addition to Plaza Lights, there are many other Christmas Season events in the Kansas City Metro area. Here are a few that have become traditional attractions throughout the years:
KCK Downtown Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony – includes goodie bags for the first 1,000 children, live entertainment inside and outside the City Hall, and the traditional "Mayor's Christmas Tree" lighting at City Hall Plaza
Legends Outlets Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony – includes live entertainment, a local celebrity, and a visit from Santa Claus to flip the switch
Christmas in the Park at Longview Lake – a drive-thru park with more than 170 lighted animated figures and decorations
Annual Poinsettia Show at the Swope Park Greenhouse – hundreds of poinsettias and hybrids placed in extraordinary settings among fountains and grottos and walkways
Crown Center Ice Skating – among the brilliance of the lights and excitement of Christmas shopping, visitors are able to try a hand an ice skating outside at the Crown Center Ice Terrace

Q: Retrieving sub directory name and using it to call function in linux . Every time calling fun1 with the same sub directory name Suppose inside main directory (A) i have only 2 sub directories B and C:
A:
  -B
  -C

I want to achieve following functionality:

Calling getLangDir function the first time, then I should be able to call fun1(0, A) only if I called getLangDir function for the second time, then I should be able to call fun1(1,B) only.

In fun1 I am using foldernum value and entity->d_name string.
Here in first and second case I am calling like fun1(0,A), fun1(1,A) respectively.
NOTE : Here Using dirent header file. Also not call getLangDir recursively as I want first level subdirectory .
int foldernum=0; //global variable
void getLangDir(std::string dirname) {

    DIR* dir = opendir(dirname.c_str());
    if (dir == NULL) return;
    std::cout<<"Reading directory in:  "<< dirname<<std::endl;

    struct dirent* entity;
    entity = readdir(dir);

    while (entity != NULL)
    {
        if (entity->d_type == DT_DIR && strcmp(entity->d_name, ".") != 0 && strcmp(entity->d_name, "..") != 0)
        {
            if(foldernum==0){
                std::string str(entity->d_name);
                fun1(foldernum,str);
                foldernum++;
                break;
            }
           else if(foldernum==1){
                std::string str(entity->d_name);
                fun1(foldernum,str);
                foldernum++;
                break;
            }
           else
                return;
        }
        entity = readdir(dir);
    }

   closedir(dir);
}

A: I think I understand what you want.
Your overall approach is wrong because maintaining state of functions using global variables is very poor practice, it's hard to debug and it's error prone. And because the whole approach is wrong anyway because you should approach this as follows:

*

*put all filenames of the A directory (B and C in your example) in a std::vector.

*for each string in the vector: call fun1(foldernum ,element);
Code outline:
std::vector<std::string> files;

GetFilesFromDirectory("A", files);

for (auto foldernum = 0; foldernum < files.size(); foldernum++)
{
  fun1(foldernum, files[foldernum]);
}

void GetFilesFromDirectory(std::string dirname, std::vector & files)
{
  // fill the files vector with filenames of dirname
  DIR* dir = opendir(dirname.c_str());
  ... // 4-5 five more lines you should be able to write on your own
      // hint: use files.push_back(entity->d_name) at some point
}

You might need to add some error handling.

        public TextView item1;
        public TextView item2;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View v = convertView;
        ViewHolder holder;
        if (v == null) {
            LayoutInflater vi =

        if (custom != null) {
            holder.item1.setText(custom.getCreateByFullName());
            holder.item2.setText(custom.getTitle());
        }
        return v;
    }

*

*Can anyone explain me on the parameters of the overridded method. [getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)]. I need to know what does each argument do?.

*I have a static class ViewHolder holding my view components, then why do i create a nerw instance holder.

A: For the getView method :

*

*position is the index in the list, you will use it to get the current object from the data source

*convertView is a View... which is a view returned by the getView method for another position, so you don't have to inflate the view for each row, you can reuse one.

*parent is probably the container, but I never used it.

Will Patients Accept Randomization to Psychoanalysis? A Feasibility Study
Eve Caligor, Mark J. Hilsenroth, Michael Devlin, Bret R. Rutherford, Madeleine Terry and Steven P. Roose
The feasibility of using a randomized design in a psychoanalytic outcome study was evaluated. Our hypothesis was that it would be feasible to randomize patients to psychoanalysis three or four times weekly on the couch for five years, supportive expressive therapy once or twice weekly for up to forty sessions, and cognitive behavior therapy once or twice weekly for up to forty sessions. Successful randomization was defined as a 30% recruitment rate among eligible patients. Recruitment began in September 2009 and closed in April 2010. A total of 132 subjects responded to study advertisements, 107 of whom (81%) were triaged out. The remaining 25 were scheduled for the first of two clinical interviews, and 21 of 25 (88%) completed the interview. Eleven of the 25 (44%) were determined to be eligible based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eight of the 11 accepted the idea of randomization and completed the diagnostic assessment phase. Calculated on the basis of 8 of 11 eligible patients accepting randomization, the 95% confidence interval was that 39% to 92% of eligible subjects would participate in a larger study of this design. Our findings support the feasibility of implementing an RCT comparing psychoanalysis as defined by the American Psychoanalytic Association (three or four times weekly on the couch for approximately five years) with shorter-term dynamic or cognitive behavioral therapy once or twice a week. Pre-treatment characteristics of these eight patients are presented, as are initial reliability data for the treatment adherence scales used in this trial.


I am starting a new blogging format for my sessions. Instead of posting a dozen photos at once, I'll stick to just a few to highlight at a time. I know, I'm a tease. This is S. One of those clients who I can see transform. It's not the makeup or the photos. It's that swing in her step after a shoot. I had to wait until her husband was gifted with the album, but I've been dying to share. Thank you, S, for letting me share your beauty. I can't wait to have you back in the studio.

Building Rep Says Member Engagement Is What Makes Unions Strong
by Laurel Killough on May 4, 2018
Member engagement is vital to a strong union, says Darien Building Rep Katy Gale. When members are more engaged, she explains, they feel empowered and capable of effecting change.
"My local has taken member engagement really seriously," the fifth grade Hindley Elementary teacher says. "We have made it a point to meet one-on-one with almost every member and really listen to them and hear about what's important to them. Now we can move forward and develop a plan to meet everyone's needs."
Gale describes the one-on-one conversations, which open up the lines of communication and strengthen relationships between members and local Association leaders, as "phenomenal."
She encourages other union leaders, "If you haven't done it in your local, do it."
With so much competing for teachers' time and attention, Gale says she makes sure her members know, "The union isn't me. The union isn't our CEA President Sheila Cohen. The union is all of us working together."
As a building rep, Gale makes sure teachers are informed about the issues that affect them in their school, district, town, state, and nationally. With an important election coming up this fall, Gale reminds members about the power they have to elect pro-public education candidates.
"It's so important for teachers to get out and vote in November because we will be electing the people who represent us and the families of the students we teach," Gale says.
She adds, "We have the power to elect people who can do right by public schools and by the communities that we live in. That's on us."
If you are looking for assistance with one-on-ones or training in teacher organizing, contact your local president, CEA UniServ Representative, or CEA Training and Organizational Developmental Specialist Joe Zawawi.

About Entrainment
In 1665 the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens noticed that two pendulum clocks in his room tended to Swing in Sync. The same happens with fireflies, cardiac pacemaker cells, menstrual cycles, birds in flight, walking, dancing, circadian rhythms in animals, quantum gravity theory, dialogues and people in a crowd.
Two connected Systems always Entrain because Every System in our Universe Vibrates and is connected.
Birds in Sync
When the Parts are connected, the Rhythm of the Whole controls the Rhythm of the Parts.
The transformations of the seperate parts takes place in two steps. In the first step the variance of the frequencies of the parts is reduced but the oscillators remain incoherent, each running near its natural frequency, until a certain threshold is crossed. Then the oscillators begin to synchronize spontaneously. The effect is somewhat like the outbreak of synchronous applause after a magnificent concert.
To make the transformation possible the Parts have to adjust their behavior. They have to move with the Rhythm of the Flow of the Central Clock. At the end of the transformation from isolated Parts to the Whole the Parts are the Same. They are Copying each other.
When people are copying other people they lose their identity and move into a trance-state. The same effect can be accomplished with hypnosis. When people are in a trance-state it is easy to manipulate them.
About Copying
Humans are Copiers. When we look at the Science of Coupled Oscillators it becomes clear that Copying is not an intentional act. People and other Systems are more or less forced to copy others when the frequencies of their systems are within a certain bandwith.
When people are close and are focused on a shared target (a soccer match, a concert, a conversation, a dance, a common goal) the human parts start to synchronize and become a Crowd, an entity that starts to act on its own.
About Communication
The word "communion" means "becoming a union". All communication arises through Synchronization. All communications are dances that coordinate the rhythmic processes shared among the engaging systems.
Communication is not a transmission of information, but rather a coordination of behavior among living organisms through Mutual Structural Coupling. Just like the Crowd, a communication, starts to live a life of its own, when the exchange of the vibrations of the conversation starts to synchronize. This happens within seconds.
In the 1960's, William Condon of Boston University School of Medicine pioneered the empirical study of communication as coupling. In the microanalysis of a few seconds of film he was astonished to find how the voice and bodily movements of speaker and listener were coordinated within intervals as short as 20 milliseconds.
Condon introduced the term entrainment to describe the coupled behavior. He noted that: "Communication is thus like a dance, with everyone engaged in intricate and shared movements across many subtle dimensions, yet all strangely oblivious that they are doing so".
Coupling begins with getting the attention of other organisms, or more accurately, with distracting the organisms from other engagements so they are able to discern and respond to this engagement.
When the Oscillations of two Systems are outside a certain bandwith it looks like the most powerful system takes over control. The frequency of the synchronized system is a mean and when big numbers and small numbers are added the small numbers simply disappear. This situation is called an Overload.
Overloads are able to kill small systems because the small system is unable to cope with the huge pertuberations. People with a Dominant Personality are able to force (to entrain) Dependent people to copy their behavior.
About Synchronization
A System of N coupled different oscillators creates a very complex almost unsolvable mathematical problem. In 1975 Charles Peskin formulated the conjecture that Systems would eventually synchronize even when the parts are not identical. In 1990 the conjecture has been proven by Strogatz and Mirollo.
Systems of Coupled Oscillators show four states called Phase Locking (Synchronization), Phase Drift ("Chaos") and Amplitude Death ("Order"). In the last state the oscillations stop completely. The fourth state called a Chimera is a combination of a synchronized and a drifting state.
The most important issue to notice is the fact that the state of Amplitude Death is what we call Order. It is an exceptional state that can be reached when the exchange of information between the states is "compensating" the vibrations of the states or when the System is "compressed" into a Singularity.
Most Systems are oscillating ("Cyclic") and are in a Phase Drift ("Chaos") or a Chimera trying to reach some sort of Synchronicity with the other connected Systems. In Nature every System is connected to every other System because of the Electro-Magnetic (and Sound) Fields they share.
Systems of Coupled Oscillators behave differently when the connections between the parts are delayed. It this case highly identical parts start to behave as not identical parts. When a delay occurs the stable rhythm of the heart can suddenly stop, resulting in a sudden death.
About the Circadian Clock
In order to cope with and to predict 24-hour rhythms in the environment, such as light and darkness, temperature or the availability of food, most, if not all, organisms have Circadian ("Daily") Timing Systems. These systems generate circadian rhythms in a wide range of behavioral and physiological processes.
For most animal species, a main circadian pacemaker has been identified in an anatomically defined location in or close to the brain. During the last years, however, it has become clear that circadian systems are complex and that additional oscillators exist, both within and outside the central nervous system.
The Peripheral Circadian Clocks are situated in the Heart, the Liver, the Lungs and the Kidney. These organs are the same "organs" that are used in Chinese Acupuncture which is not strange because the Aim of Acupuncture is to Balance the Electro Magnetic Field in the Body.
For a correct functioning of the circadian timing system, these oscillators should be synchronized to one another and properly phased to the environmental cycle.
Synchronization between the oscillators occurs via interactions or coupling pathways, whereas the light-dark cycle is used for synchronization to the outside world.
The most important mammalian circadian pacemaker is located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) at the base of the hypothalamus in the brain.
From the suprachiasmatic nucleus, nerve impulses travel via the sympathetic nervous system to the pineal gland and inhibit the production of melatonin. At night, these impulses stop and melatonin production ensues and is released into the body.
In fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds, the pineal gland appears to be directly sensitive to small amounts of light that penetrate the skin and skull.
In mammals, with increased development of the cerebral hemispheres, the pineal body came to lie deeper within the brain and indirect stimulation of the pineal gland by light via the retina came to be more important. The Suprachiasmatic Nuclei are connected to the Outer Eye and the Inner Eye, the Pineal Gland.
The Pineal Gland is called the 6th Chakra, the Third Eye (or the Eye of Horus), the Seat of the Imagination. The Imagination, the Central Clock of our Body, is "in control" of all the other Clocks in our Body.
With the Help of our Imagination we are able to Cure and to Kill the Body.
About the Pineal Gland
The Earth is a huge magnetic sphere. The E/M field of the Earth varies in strength and consistency through the ages. Our bodies own magnetic frequencies and our bio-field patterns react to this variance of the Earth's field.
The pineal gland is the principal structure in the brain that is directly sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field. The Pineal Gland Senses the Field. To sense the Field the Pineal Gland contains small calcite crystals.
Our bone structure Converts Vibrational Energy into Magnetic and Electric Energy. When the bone is bent it produces an E/M-field. This E/M-field interacts with the Pineal Gland and creates a Feed-Back Cycle.
The E/M-field of our Body, the Aura, is a combination of all kind of waves. A special type of wave-structure is called a Standing Wave.
When the E/M-field acts as a Standing Wave all the waves are in harmony and conserve structure. The Human body is in harmony when the total field of all the separate E/M-fields of the Body act as a Standing Wave.
The Standing Wave appears when the Spinal Wave of the Vertebrae of the Body is in a special Alignment. If this happens the Standing Wave of the Spine Resonates with the Standing Wave of the Earth. At that moment the Kundalini Rises and the Pineal Gland reacts with a Huge Mystical Experience.
About the Heart
The heart beats about once a second throughout your life. These regular contractions pump blood to the Upper (Head) and the Lower part of the body and are driven by electrical impulses from a natural pacemaker inside the heart.
This pacemaker, known as the sino-atrial node, responds to signals from the Central Circadian Clock situated in the Hypothalamus that changes the heart rate according to the body's needs ("the action potential"), making it slower when resting and faster during exercise.The rhythmic contractions of the heart are triggered by waves of electrical activity that spread from the sino-atrial node throughout the heart muscle.
There are small fluctuations in the time intervals between beats that are fractal in nature, and a loss in this variability is a sign of cardiac ill health. However, a cardiac arrhythmia, in which the rhythm of electrical waves that drive the heart is broken, can be lethal.
A loss in the synchronized rhythm of the heart causes different parts of the atrial or ventricular muscle to contract at different times, undermining the pumping action of the heart. An arrhythmia therefore leads to the mechanical failure of the heart.
The propagation of excitations in heart tissue can be described in terms of travelling waves with a velocity of about 0.5 m s-1 and an amplitude given by the action potential. Since the action potential lasts for several hundreds of milliseconds, a single wave extends over a distance of about 10 cm. This means that a normal human heart is hardly large enough to contain a single wave.
In the heart the wave propagates around a circular obstacle. The wave repeatedly travels along the same path at a frequency given by the wave velocity divided by the circumference of the obstacle.
If the radius is gradually decreased, the frequency increases until the wavefront of a new wave catches up with the tail of the previous wave. If the radius is made even smaller, the wave is forced to adopt a spiral shape that continues to rotate around a central core. Spiral Waves have been observed in numerous chemical and physical experiments.
The Wave Structure of the Heart resembles the Wave Structure of the Universe. This could be the reason why the Heart plays such an important role in many Religions.
When the Wave Structure of the Heart is coherent with the Wave Structure of the Whole, the Rhythm of your Life is in Sync with the Rhythm of the Universe.
The Pacemaker Cells are called the Heart Chakra, the 4th Chakra. The Heart Chakra acts as the Balance Point for all the Chakras.
The Balancing Point is the Middle of two Triangels related to the Head and the Body that rotate With- and Counter-the-Clock creating a Moebius Ring. The Pineal Gland, the Central Clock, is part of the Upper Triangel of the Mind.
Chemical Spiral Waves
About Cymatics
In 1967, the late Hans Jenny, a Swiss doctor, artist, and researcher, published the book Cymatics, The Structure and Dynamics of Waves and Vibrations. In this book Jenny showed what happens when one takes various materials like sand, spores, iron filings, water, and viscous substances, and places them on vibrating metal plates and membranes.
What then appears are shapes and motion- patterns which vary from the nearly perfectly ordered and stationary to those that are turbulently developing, organic, and constantly in motion.
When Jenny experimented with Fluids of various kinds he produced Wave motions, Spirals, and wave-like patterns in Continuous Circulation.
These patterns are the same patterns that are produced by Coupled Oscillators. This is not strange because Sound Waves are highly comparable to Electro Magnetic Waves.
With the help of simple tools it is possible to Simulate the Creation and Expansion of the Universe.
We don't need very complicated tools to observe the Whole. The Whole shows its patterns everywhere, even in your bathtub.
The Whirpool Galaxy
About the Creation of the Universe
In beginning the Void, the Zero Point Field, rotated in Silence until a Huge Action Potential disturbed its Eternal Rest.
The Void was in a state of Amplitude Death until a Statistical Fluctuation, an Act of Creation, moved the System into a Chimera and later a Phase Drift.
Out of the Phase Drift Two Coupled Oscillators (Yin & Yang) appeared that moved With- and Against the Clock creating a Spiral Motion, a Vortex.
The Two Coupled Oscillators were each others Complement because two Coupled Oscillators are always Complementary.
After a while the Phase Drift generated Four and More Oscillators and Space started to Expand.
The pattern of this Expansion is governed by the Metallic Mean, which generates Fluent or Quasi Crystals. Fluent Crystals are the basic structure of the Electro Magnetic System of the Human. Scientists believe that the basic structure of our Universe is a Fluent Crystal, a Hall of Mirrors.
Quasi Crystals
Space stops expanding when the Unbalance of the Energy of the Act of Creation is compensated by the amount of Oscillators (Strings) of Expanding Space.
At that moment the Universe will move into the State of Synchronization and all the Parts will move with the Rhythm of the Central Clock, the Tao.
When this happens the Universe starts to contract until Space has reached the Void.
In the last step the Oscillation will stop and the Void and Amplitude Death will appear again.

About the Good, the Bad and the Nothing
Sometimes You want to do the Good Thing and the result is a Bad Thing.
Sometimes You start an Activity with a Good Intention but the Activity runs completely Out of Hand because You were unable to Predict all the effects.
Sometimes an Activity starts with a Good Intention and Ends with a Good Result but much later You discover that you have started a Chain of Activities and the Result of the Chain is Bad.
Good and Bad are Context Dependent.
Look at this little Story:
A Chinese farmer awoke one morning to find a horse grazing in one of his fields. Since nobody came to claim the horse, the farmer used it to plow his uncultivated land. "What a good this horse is for you," said his neighbor. "We'll see," said the farmer. Soon after, the farmer's 18-year-old son was riding the horse when it shied at a snake. The youth fell off and broke his leg. "What an evil this is for you," said his neighbor. "We'll see," said the farmer. Soon after, the warlord's agents combed the village, conscripting young men for his army. Because of his broken leg, the farmer's son was not taken. "What a good this is for you," said his neighbor. "We'll see," said the farmer.

About the Golden Rule of Ethics
The big problem is that we attach a Value to the Intentions or the Consequences of an Activity and this Value has just two Names named: "Good" or "Bad".
When the E-Valuation is "Good" we Feel Good. When the E-Valuation is "Bad" we feel Anger, Sadness, Guilty, Depressed or Worse. The Names of the Evaluation trigger the Emotions Deeply.
Most of the time we feel Guilty without any need to feel Guilty because we are not in Control of Everything that Happens.
The Ego, our Identity, is not able to stand the Lack of Control it has on the Outside World.
Humans need the "Illusion of Control" to sustain their Identity. Deep within they don't want to believe that Other Human Beings or the Forces of Nature ("the Acts of God") are also Active Agents.
The Science that is trying to define the Good and the Bad is called Ethics.
Ethics is the Philosophical Study of "the Moral Value of Human Conduct and of the Rules and Principles that ought to govern it" or "the principles concerning the distinction between Right and Wrong or Good and Bad Behavior'
The most important Rule of Ethics is the so called Golden Rule : " We should do to others what we would want others to do to us" or "do not do to others what you would not like to be done to you".
The Golden Rule of Empathy and Forgiving is the most important Ethical Rule in many Cultures all around the World.
The Golden Rule uses the Principle of Self-Reference. Something is Applied on Itself.
When we apply the Principle of Self-Reference to the Bad, we move into the Domain of Lady Justice.
Lady Justice: An Eye for an Eye (Revenge)
About Justice and Revenge
When Bad People don't want to use the Good Golden Rule some cultures use the Rule "An Eye for an Eye" (Revenge) to do Justice to the Bad Ones. When you do Bad to a Person, the Bad Behavior is Applied to Yourself. "Eye for an eye" is used to make Bad People Aware of the Good Golden Rule.
The interesting point is that the combination of the Golden Rule and the "Eye for an Eye"-Rule (called Tit-for-Tat) is the best way to solve the Iterated Prisoners Dilemma, a Chain of Conflicts.
Strangely enough The Good (now called Cooperation) is Accomplished when you just Imitate the Behavior of the Others.
There is One (fatal) Exception to the Strategy of Tit-for-Tat. If you want to operate On Your Own and You think You don't need the Others to Survive the best Way to Operate is to Betray Every Body. Bad Behavior provides you with a Huge Economic Win but also with a Huge Social Loss.
When you Betray the others, You have To Protect Yourself for the Revenge of the Others.
To Compensate your Social Loss You have to Buy the Others (Lawyers, Mercanaries, ) or (worse) you have to Force the Others with Violence to Cooperate with You. In the first Case you lose a lot of Money and in the last case the Amount of Revenge increases exponentially.
To Survive you always have to Balance the Social ("the Other") and the Economic ("the Ego"). The "easy way' is to do the Good and the "difficult way" is to do the Bad.
Cooperation is a highly Effective and Efficient Method to accomplish the Good for Your Self and the Others because Good Behavior attracts Good Behavior and Bad Behavior attracts Bad Behavior.
About the Seven Virtues.
To do Good or to do Justice you have to Apply the Same to the Same because The Same Attracts the Same.
The Same not only Attracts the Same. The Same Repels the Not-the-Same.
The Same Law: "Look-A-Likes Like Each Other and Repel the Organisms that are not looking alike" (called Genetic Similarity Theory) also explains Evolution. This rule was detected by Charles Darwin when he wanted to explain the huge amount of Cooperation in Nature.
When you Apply the Same to the Same (Self-Reference) it generates a Fractal Structure in which the Same Structure Repeats Itself on Every Level ("As Above, So Below").
It Looks Like there is a Universal Moral Law that explains Behavior on Every Level of the Universe.
Some Scientists believe the Moral Laws are Eternal Truths. This believe has a long History that goes back to Ancient Rome (Cicero), Ancient Greece (Plato, Socrate) and Ancient Egypt (Ma'at).
During the Renaissance ("Rebirth") the Moral Principles of Rome, Greece, and Egypt were reborn and transformed into Moral Systems based on the Four (Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude) or the Seven Virtues (The Four Virtues & Faith, Hope and Love).
When you understand and apply the Universal Moral Laws you use the Virtue of Prudence (Wisdom, Knowledge). To Apply the Golden Lesson you need to have Courage and a Strong Will, the Virtue of Fortitude. When you keep the three Virtues (Wisdom, Justice and Will) in the right Balance you are practising the virtue of Temperance.
They last three virtues are derived out of the First Letter to the Corinthians written by Paul:
"If I speak in the tonguesof men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love".
The Golden Rule of Ma'at (Forgiving and Empathy)
About the Temperance of Ma'at
Ma'at (later named Sophia ) was one of the (3×3) Nine Egyptian Neteru . She represented the Virtues of Truth, Balance, Justice, and Order. Just like Lady Justice she uses a Scale.
The dead person's Heart was placed on the scale, balanced by the Feather of Ma'at. If the Heart weighed the same as the Feather of Ma'at, the deceased was allowed to go on to the Eternal Afterlife and gained Immortality (Heaven).
If the deceased had been found not to have followed the concept of Ma'at during his life (if he had lied or cheated or killed or revenged) his heart was devoured by a demon and he died the final death and was Reincarnated (Hell).
The Human, the Talking Baboon, had to start all over again to Learn and Apply the most important Golden Lesson of the Universe.
The way of Ma'at was to Act out of the Center of Conscioussness, the Heart. Acting out of the Heart is called the Virtue of Love.
Ma'at was also the God of Balance, Rythm and the Cycles. The Good and the not-Good moved the Cycles of the Universe.
The Good and the not-Good came out of the Same Source, the Void, the Sekhem, the Source of Infinite Potential and Love.
The Tree Faces of Shiva (Creator, Destructor and Brahman (Void, Love, Infinite Potential))
About the Trinity of the Mind
In the Eastern (Gnostic, Egyptian, Indian, African, Mystic) Believe System the Good and the Bad are both created by the Demiurg (or the Logos, "In the beginning was the Word and Word was God") one of the Creations of the Void. The Void exists outside our Level of Existence. The Void is a Mystery.
The Good and the not-Good, the Bad, are Complementary Opponents. Their Union is the Whole. They Share the Void, the Empty Set. The Empty Set contains Everything that is Impossible.
The Good and the Bad Move the Cycles of the Universe. They represent the E-Motions (Expansion (Desire, Creation) and Contraction (Control, Destruction)) of the Void.
The Good and the Bad Cooperate by Competing to bring the Lonely Souls back to the Void.
The Good, the Creator, and the Bad, the Destructor, are Two Faces of the Same Entity, the Spiritual Trinity, who came out of the Nothing.
The connection with the Void can be found in the Middle (the Golden Mean) of the Body, the Heart, the Link between the Triangel of the Material World (the Body) and the Triangel of the Spiritual World (The Mind).
The Heart, the connection with the Void, is the Seat of Consciousness. It is also the Seat of the Emotions (Soul).
When the Heart Weights like a Feather, the Upper (Mind) and the Lower Trinity (the Body) connected by the Emotions are in Balance.
The Bad and the Good are Attractors. When the Attraction becomes too High you get Addicted to the Bad or the Good. A huge Expansion is compensated by a huge Contraction to Balance the Cycle. When you want to avoid the Pain of Contraction you have to Balance your Life.
The Two Triangels with the Heart in the Middle are the Same As the Seven Chakra's (2×3+1) and the Seven Virtues of the Renaissance.
The Seven Chakra's together with the Spiritual Trinity are Similar to the Tree of Life, The Egyptian Pesedjet/Neteru and the Jewish Sephirot (3×3+1).
The Seven Chakra's
About the Trinity of the Body
When Body and Mind are in Balance, the Ideas of the Spiritual Trinity are received by the Trinity of the Mind and are Implemented by the Trinity of the Material Body in the Material World (Earth).
When the Mind is not connected to the Body and the Spirit, the Ideas become Abstractions (only Words) or the Impulses of the Desire of the Body Takes over Control.
When the Mind is not connected to the Spirit Innovation stops and Old Ideas (the Seeds) Repeat Themselves All the Time. The Human becomes a Machine Caught in the Wheel of the Good and the Bad.
The One, the Spiritual Trinity, who is The Void, the Good (the Creator) and the Bad (the Destructor), uses the Strategy of Tit-for-Tat, the Trickster.
The Trinity Imitates the Behavior of the Humans or We the Humans Copy their Behavior ("We are made in the Image of God")!
The One wants to make the Humans Aware of the Fact that the only way to Survive the Infinite Chain of Conflicts (Dilemma's, Contradictions), which is Life, is to Cooperate (Live out of the Heart) with the Infinite Potential, the God of Love.
The Big Implosion
About Destruction
The Golden Rule of Ethics tries to avoid the Negative Emotions, the Emotions of Loss. It wants to Create a situation were Everybody is Happy.
The Golden Rule of Ethics helps a lot to Evaluate our Intentions and the Consequences of our Intentions but the effect of our Collective Actions on the Bigger Structures is almost Unpredictable.
It would help a lot if we could Expand our View from the Emotional Human Other to "all the Other Life-Forms" that are in Existence.
In this case we have to Understand the Effects of our Behavior on the Negative Emotions of the Bacteria, the Plants, the Animals, Earth and even the Universe.
It is not clear if our Emphatic System is able to Imagine the Inner World of the other Life Forms.
If the Act of Destruction is felt the same by all these Organisms it will be simply impossible to Live.
We have to Destroy Others to stay Alive.
The Universe Destroys to Stay Alive.
The Destruction of the Old is needed to Create the New.
At this moment we are confronted with a World-Wide Crisis on many Levels of Existence. The Collective Behavior of the Human Race is Destroying our Environment.
The Collective Desire to Create and Expand has reached the Limits of the System we Live in.
It is almost impossible to Control this Expansion. The Control Systems have also reached their Limits.
The Two Complementary Forces, The Good and the Bad, Expansion and Contraction, Desire and Control, have both reached their Outer Limits.
If they both reach the Limits the Expanding Balloon of our Outer Universe will Explode in Itself (Implode) and move through the Void to another State. There is Simply no Space Left to Expand.
If this happens the Expansion of the Outer World will be Transformed into an Expansion of the Inner World.
The Big Bang, the Big Explosion, the Sublime Act of Creation, will Repeat itself and the Big Implosion will Create a New Universe.
The Flow of Time
About Not-Acting
Wu Wei (Not Acting, Acting without Effort) is an important concept of Taoism.
When you want to apply this concept you have to Know Everything There is to Know about the Cycles and the Forces of Nature. Wu Wei is only possible when you have aquired the Knowledge and the Wisdom of Ma'at/Sophia.
Most of the Time the Power of the Cycle is so Strong that it is impossible for Us to influence the Flow of Time.
Sometimes on a Rare Moment on a Special Place the Cycles can be Influenced.
Only at that Special Magic Moment the Human is able to do the Good or the Bad.
At all the other Moments History Takes its Course. The Good and Bad Forces, the Acts of God, Act without our Consent on the Higher Levels of Our Universe. It is a Waste of Time and Energy to Oppose these Forces.
Most of the Time we are Pushed by the Forces of Nature. We Act without Effort.
In Ancients Times the Forces were called Gods, Angels or Devils. At this moment we Name these Forces with Different Names (Gravity, the Strong and Weak Force and the Electro-Magnetic Force) but the Effect of the Forces on our Field of Existence stays the Same.
At a Magic Moment Everything, even the Impossible, is Possible. At such a moment we are "in Tune with" the Empty Set, the Void, the Sekhem, the Tao, the Field, the Love, the Mystery, the Unspoken.
The Emotions of Loss are created when we Lose Something.
If you Own Nothing You have Nothing to Lose.
If you Expect Nothing, Every Thing will Happen.
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
Therefore the Master
can act without doing anything
and teach without saying a word.
Things come her way and she does not stop them;
things leave and she lets them go.
She has without possessing,
and acts without any expectations.
When her work is done, she takes no credit.
That is why it will last forever.
(Tao Te Ching, Chapter II)

Since children can spend a considerable amount of time with their caregivers, choosing the right one can make a big difference in your child's future.
If you are the parent of a young child, at some point during the next few years you'll need to find care for your child. This may happen because you return to work, or simply to allow you as parents to attend social events. Whatever the reason, finding quality childcare will require careful consideration.
Child development experts tell us that children's early years set the foundation for the rest of their lives. Since children can spend a considerable amount of time with their caregivers, choosing the right one can make a big difference in your child's future.
Katina Feggos, who has several years of experience as a child and family counselor, suggests that parents should look for a care giver who can help their child develop in positive ways. "To find the best care for your child," says Ms. Feggos, " you must take into consideration your child's social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development as well as his/her personality. Consider such things as how active your child is; how he/she gets along in a large group; the importance of consistent discipline; the need for a balance of active and quiet play; and the type of experiences you would like your child to have. If you choose a warm, nurturing caregiver, then your child can benefit from non-parental care." Beyond your child's needs, it is important to consider your own schedule. Do you need to have childcare close to work or home? Do you need your child to have meals while in care or to be with siblings?
Once you've developed a list of potential childcare facilities that could meet these needs, it's important to start looking at specifics. The caregiver's qualifications are important, and whether or not they can provide references. How many other children are enrolled? How old are they? What are the activities for a typical day/week? What are the lunch and snack provisions? Are there any special features of the program? What is the policy regarding payment for days when a child is absent? Are there extra charges beyond the normal fees? Are tax receipts provided?
Ms. Feggos suggests that you interview the care provider or centre staff, then set a time when you can observe the facility and take your child along. Note your general impression of the overall environment and your child's reactions. Ask specific questions about staff or care provider's qualifications. Ask to see equipment and toys. Ask about activities and the daily routine, including outings and what arrangements are made to ensure safety on the outings. Ask about alternates and substitutes. Who else might be looking after your child if the caregiver is ill, on vacation, or has an emergency? Discuss who else may be in contact with your child such as the care provider's spouse, teenage children, boarders, and neighbours. You have a right to screen anyone who may be involved with your child. Ask specific questions such as, "What do you do when a child in your care bites another child?" Ask for references.
If a potential care facility does not feel right to you, maybe it isn't. You need to be committed to the choice that you make, because the more positive you are, the more positive your child will be.

NewsMost WantedRecent Arrests & Crime Reports
In June of 2007 the Lee County Detention Facility moved its operations to the newly constructed W.S. "Buck" Jones Detention Center. Utilizing the existing jail, the capacity of the current facility increased to 420 inmates. Also beginning in June '07 the Lee County Detention Facility became the only operating jail facility in Lee County. The cities of Auburn and Opelika have closed their facilities and all their inmates are now housed in the county jail. We are currently averaging some 380 inmates per day up from an average of 275 inmates per day. Through a dedicated staff the Lee County Detention Facility is considered to be one of the most efficient jails in the southeast.
Please check out our many resources and check back often for updates.

A copy of the inmate handbook that is given to every inmate is available here: inmate-handbook
Video visitation is the system the Lee County Detention Center uses to conduct inmate visitation. The inmate, who is at a remote location, and you, the vistor, will sit at a video station consisting of a monitor, camera and receiver. Your visit will last 30 minutes and you will be given a two minute warning of the time your visit will end. Inmates are allowed one visit per week.
If you wish to see an inmate, you must arrive no later than 10 minutes before the start of the inmate's visit. Anyone arriving after the visit has started will not be allowed to see the inmate unless the inmate is being seen by someone else and there is an available slot for you to sign in.
Visitors will not be allowed to "swap" visits with another person, meaning the first four people who sign in to see an inmate will be the only four allowed to see this inmate for that day. Visitors who have not signed up to see an inmate will not be allowed past the front desk. There will be no pocket books or purses allowed beyond the front desk. Food and drinks will not be permitted.
An inmate's visitation time is determined by the area of the Detention Center he or she is being housed in at the time of the visit. The inmate is allowed only four visitors per visit, including children, and all visitors must have a picture ID to be allowed to visit. All children who do not have a picture ID or school ID must have a social security card or birth certificate present before entering. Visiting times will not be changed and no inmate will be allowed to have a visit on any other time except his/her regular visit time.
Contact visits between inmate and visitor are prohibited.

Cameron Depot
SC PICTURE PROJECT 4 Comments
SC Picture Project / Calhoun County / Cameron Depot
The Calhoun County town of Cameron is named for the conductor of the first train to roll through the community in the 1890s. The Manchester and Augusta Railroad built a line through the town in 1894, and the community was incorporated as Cameron in 1896. Soon afterwards, the Manchester and Augusta line became the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL), and this passenger depot was built for the ACL rail line in the early twentieth century. The railway through Cameron later became the Seaboard Air Line. Today the town owns the former depot, which has been restored and relocated form its original location parallel to the tracks, though it still stands near the railroad tracks.

Hi, I was wondering if a train still runs past the cotton & seed plant? Thank you, Kelly, Summerville.
SC Picture Project says
Hey Kelly, yes it does! The train is still active right through the "Pretty Little Town" of Cameron, the Cotton and Seed Plant is right across the tracks.
Jackie Smith says
I have taken a more recent picture of this depot and it has the flags in front of it. I do believe it represents the town and history with a better image if you would like to see it
We would absolutely love to see it! Would you mind submitting it via email? Our email address is share@scpictureproject.org. Thanks so much Jackie!
