4.3.3 Stage 3: Passive continental margin formation
Eventually, movement along faults initiated during the continental rifting stage ceases, and the entire continental margin starts to subside. Subsidence at this stage occurs because of lithospheric cooling as the distance between the margin and spreading ridge-axis increases, rather than as a result of tectonic movement of the fault blocks (as during the continental rifting stage). By now, all tectonic activity is focused at the new oceanic spreading axis and the continental lithosphere can b
2.2 Going up: using scientific notation for large numbers
Think again about the value for the total volume of water stored on Earth: 1460 000 000 km3.
When dealing with large numbers such as one thousand four hundred and sixty million (1460 000 000), it is tedious to write the number in words or to keep writing all of those zeros. Worse still, it is very easy to lose some of the zeros or add extra ones by mistake. Fortunately, large numbers can be referred to without having to write out all of the zeros. The powers of ten not
9.2 Antisocial behaviour disease
The psychological arena is hugely complex because there are additional issues of responsibility and treatment. Briefly, society takes a more lenient attitude towards the behaviour of someone who is ill (diseased) compared to someone who is well. The diseased person is not fully responsible for their actions ('They can't help it'). Therefore any individual with antisocial (aggressive) behaviour who is diagnosed as having a disease is largely absolved of blame. Having a disease, means, at l
6.1 The intricacies of neuron growth
Particular nerves, such as those sensory nerves that arise from the nasal retina (the side of the retina adjacent to the nose), cross the midline; other sensory nerves, such as those that arise from the temporal retina do not. This pattern is consistent between individuals, to such an extent that a map of the nervous system is good enough to be used to locate a particular nerve pathway in most people. (See Author(s): The Open University
5.2 Sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area (SDN-POA)
As well as affecting behaviour (Section 3.4) neonatal testosterone also affects the physical characteristics of some areas of the brain. One of these is a small area of the hypothalamus, the medial preoptic area, which, although small, is much larger in males than in females. This size difference is mediated by testosterone.
3.3 Vitamin D
The main role of vitamin D is to facilitate the uptake of calcium from food, through the lining of the small intestine into the blood. It also controls the deposition of calcium in the bones during growth and maintains adult bone structure. If vitamin D is deficient, with less calcium available, the skeleton fails to develop normally. The most obvious symptom is the bowing of the leg bones in children, producing the condition called rickets (Author(s): The Open University
2.2 Vitamin A
Look back at Table 1 and identify the foods that contain vitamin A. On the basis of this information, try to predict where vitamin A is stored in the human body.
Before the 19th century, one of the hazards of long sea voyages was a condition called scurvy, whose symptoms were loss of hair and teeth, bleeding gums, very slow healing of wounds, and eventually death. Hundreds of sailors and explorers died from scurvy until a Scottish physician, James Lind, in the 1750s discovered that adding a daily portion of citrus fruit to the rations of those at sea could prevent the condition, whereas adding cider, vinegar or various other substances that he tested,
After studying this Unit you should know:
that certain minerals are required in the body and that some minerals form essential structural components of tissues;
that sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride ions are important in maintaining the correct composition of cells and of the tissue fluids around them (homeostasis);
that some minerals are essential components of important molecules such as hormones and enzymes;
that the correct
Both vitamins and minerals are essential in the diet in small quantities.The term 'vitamin' was not coined until early in the 20th century, to describe those chemicals in food without which a pattern of deficiency symptoms (often called a deficiency syndrome) occurs. Minerals, also called mineral elements, are those elements other than carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen that are found in the body.
This unit looks at the two main groups of vitamins: the fat-soluble vitamins A, D,
In this unit you have found out that:
The sensation of pain is caused by the release of a chemical (prostaglandin) that stimulates the nerve endings and sends an electrical message to the brain.
Pain can be reduced if the formation of prostaglandin can be inhibited.
Prostaglandin is formed, from arachidonic acid, in a cavity in the active site of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX).

1.8 Enter aspirin!
Aspirin is able to release part of its ester group (Figure 15) in a hydrolysis reaction. Look again at the structure of aspirin, 2.8, and identify this group on the molecule. It is known as an acetyl group and accounts for aspirin also being called acetylsalicylic acid. The acetyl group on aspirin is fairly easily removed and can be available for forming another ester with an —OH group on another molecule; in this case, part of the structure that makes up the inside of the cavi
1.2 How does it hurt?
This is a useful question because once we know the mechanism of pain sensation we can do something about alleviating it.
When tissue is injured there follows a rapid release of 'messenger' chemicals that stimulate the nerve endings. Electrical impulses are relayed through the nerves to the spinal column and to the brain, which registers the sensation of pain. It usually, but not always, also directs our attention to the site where the damaged tissue initiated the pain message.
1.2.3 The transmission of genetic material
The full complement of 46 chromosomes in the human genome, the diploid number, is restored at fertilization. As Figure 3.1 shows, all the somatic cells and cells in the testes and ovaries arise from the same fertilized egg by the process of mitosis; the cells all contain copies of the same genetic material (with some exceptions).
1.2.1 The human genome: chromosomes and genes
Almost all of the different types of cell in an individual contain the same genetic material in the chromosomes, as a consequence of mitosis. You had a glimpse of the appearance of the 46 human chromosomes in Figure 1.1, and in this unit we examine their size, shape and genetic composition.
Chromosomes can be regarded as strings of genes arranged along their length, rather like beads on a thread. Each gene consists of a short section of the DNA that runs the full length of each chromoso
1.1.1 Inheritance of characters
Imagine you have found some old family photograph albums which span many generations. What are the distinctive family features, or characters, that demonstrate the relatedness of individuals? In other words, what characters do they have in common? For example, they might have brown eyes, a white forelock in their hair, ears that are closely attached to the head, that is, without lobes. But you will also notice the striking differences between related individuals. For example, they may differ
1.5 Key dissertation ingredients
A number of ingredients are essential for a satisfactory dissertation:
a thesis, i.e. one coherent overriding 'story' or argument
situation in existing knowledge, i.e. a critical review of prior research which motivates and justifies the research question
contribution of something new
appropriate voice and argument, i.e. the provision of clear and explicit evidence, substantiation, and chain of in

For those who do not know, L'Arc (aka L'Arch du Triomphe, The Arch & Royal Arch) is located one block south of Avenida de Amizade/Rua Cicade da Sintra, behind StarWorld, directly across the street from the Encore Macau tower. Here's a map.
Photos and commentary below are from Dramman. He went nuts circling L'Arc and brought back a ton of great photos.
l'Arc: Almost done as you can see. I do not know if the building will look good, or simply garish. The construction in both style and method looks very Venetian-eque. One odd thing, its right next door to the ultramodern Rem Koolhaas-looking StarWorld Casino. The juxtaposition may be hideous... and to think Wynn Encore visitors will be treated to it.
Very astute observations Dramman. I'm leaning towards actually liking the way this compliments everything around it. Seeing European themed architecture shoehorned into one city block with a massive hotel tower sticking out of it is fascinating in it's 'aesthetic distortions' alone. I'm really excited to see how this part of the peninsula is going to evolve when all this stuff is done and perhaps when the MPEL Trinity project comes on line as well. Fascinating.... thanks for taking the time to let us see it from all sides.
Really Really Good Work guys.....i look forward to having a look myself in April.

Marginal seats
Could Labour actually lose seats at the election?
Of course it could. Anything's possible. A more pertinent question would be: which seats might Labour lose at the election?
The party has 16 seats in which its majority is under 1,000. That's one less than the Tories, but I've added a 17th seat to the following list, because it's of particular interest:
That final seat of Morley and Outwood belongs to none other than Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor. It's easy to forget he's actually the MP for a marginal seat, and one that the Tories thought they might actually win in 2010.
His profile is much higher now than four years ago, so I have no hesitation in saying he will not lose his seat.
The constituencies in the list that are marked with an asterisk are those where the Lib Dems are in second place. I also have no hesitation in saying that none of these seats will change hands next year.
That leaves nine seats where the Tories are the next largest party, and for whom these are all key targets.
In three of the nine, the sitting Labour MP is retiring: Glenda Jackson in Hampstead & Kilburn; John Denham in Southampton Itchen; and Austin Mitchell in Great Grimsby.
Hampstead & Kilburn is a genuine three-way marginal: in 2010 Labour got 17,332 votes, the Tories 17,290 and the Lib Dems 16,491. There's simply no way the Lib Dems will do as well next year, so it'll be a question of where those votes end up. I'd wager with Labour.
Southampton Itchen and Great Grimsby are harder to predict, but only thanks to the Ukip factor. If Labour does lose either of them, however, it won't be to Ukip. All Nigel Farage's party will achieve is to suck enough votes away from Labour to tip the seat into the hands of the Conservatives.
Of the other six seats where the Tories are in second place, three have Labour MPs who were first elected in 2010: Bolton West, Wirral South and Derby North. These might be vulnerable, but again only if Ukip disrupts the two-party dynamic.
The other three have more seasoned hands in place: Ian Austin in Dudley North (an MP since 2005), David Wright in Telford (an MP since 2001) and the veteran David Winnick in Walsall North (first elected in 1979).
I'd say incumbency will help this trio to hold on, despite any rise in support for Ukip (which may well happen in Dudley, where Ukip gained seven seats in May's local elections).
Of that list of 17, then, I'd say at the very most five may be vulnerable. But none are lost causes, like many of the Lib Dems marginals. On paper, Labour should hold all of these seats easily. There again, on paper Labour should have gained a great deal more council seats last month than it actually did.
As I said, anything's possible.

Could the Greens complicate things in Sheffield Central?

I think the likely collapse of the Lib Dem vote would be large enough to compensate for any Labour supporters switching to the Greens. It'll be interesting to see how the Greens do, though. They might even push the Tories into fourth place.

Well, might dissaffected Lib Dems defect to the Greens rather than turning to Labour (or staying at home)? And might UKIP reduce the Conservative vote?
How did they win in Brighton? I wonder where they consider their best chance of a second seat might be…
That's a very good question – and one which I might take a look at in a future blogpost!
I doubt Ukip will do very well in Sheffield (the same goes for other large, student-dominated cities), but I take your point about Lib Dems switching to the Greens.
Don't pack those ballot boxes away too soon
There have always been two riders in the independence race – and either could still win

Public Enemy, Neil Diamond & More Inducted into Grammy Hall of Fame

Counting these 25 titles, the Hall, now in its 47th year, encompasses 1,113 recordings.
The Recording Academy has inducted 25 more recordings into its Grammy Hall of Fame. The roster includes recordings that were celebrated in the annual Grammy Awards as well as recordings that either pre-date the 1958 launch of the Grammy Awards or were passed over in the Grammy process at the time.
Recordings in the latter category include Public Enemy's incendiary 1988 album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, which failed to receive a single Grammy nomination, but is now widely viewed as a classic, and Neil Diamond's 1969 smash "Sweet Caroline (Good Times Never Seemed So Good)," which likewise was (inexplicably) passed over in the nominations, but has long been a singalong favorite.
Recordings that were celebrated in their time that were honored include Peter Frampton's blockbuster 1976 live album Frampton Comes Alive!, a nominee that year for album of the year, and Eurythmics' 1983 synth-pop smash "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," which clinched the duo a best new artist nomination that year.
Several of this year's inducted recordings were boosted by being spotlighted in feature films. Dick Dale and the Del-Tones' 1962 hit "Miserlou" was featured in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 classic Pulp Fiction. The Stanley Brothers & the Clinch Mountain Boys' "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow" was revived in the 2000 Coen Brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou? (which won the 2001 Grammy for album of the year). Elton John's 1972 hit "Tiny Dancer" was memorably spotlighted in Cameron Crowe's 2000 film Almost Famous.
Nancy Sinatra's 1966 smash "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" -- one of the first songs with a strong feminist edge to become a mainstream pop hit -- was also inducted. It's the first induction for Sinatra, whose father, Frank Sinatra, has 14 recordings in the Hall.
Several artists who are favorites of Hall of Fame voters added to their tallies of inducted recordings. Nat "King" Cole landed his eighth induction (this time as part of the King Cole Trio). Willie Nelson got his sixth, followed by Elton John (his fourth); Patsy Cline, Bo Diddley, Merle Haggard and Joni Mitchell (their third); and the Allman Brothers Band and Public Enemy (their second).
James P. Johnson's "Carolina Shout" (1921) is the oldest recording that was inducted this year. The Public Enemy album is the newest.
Recordings are voted on each year by a special member committee, with final approval by the academy's national board of trustees. Counting these 25 titles, the Hall, now in its 47th year, encompasses 1,113 recordings. Recordings become eligible 25 years after their release.

Editor's Note: The Recording Academy announced on Jan. 14 that the Police's 1983 classic "Every Breath You Take" was among this year's inductions into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Later that day, the academy announced that the track was not eligible because it had previously been inducted as part of the trio's Synchronicity album.

Nickelodeon Slime Popsicles & Ice Cream Cups Are Coming To Walmart For A Nostalgic Treat
By Lara Walsh
It's a great time to be alive if you've always dreamed of getting "slimed," or, at the very least, covering your tastebuds in Nickelodeon's trademark bright green goo. OK, so you might not be actually tasting the network's OG slime recipe anytime soon, but TBH, Nickelodeon Slime Popsicles and Ice Cream Cups at Walmart sound like they're even better than the original. With patio season just around the corner, these frozen treats are a nostalgic summertime dessert that any '90s kid can get on board with.
From the sounds of things, the original recipe from 1979's You Can't Do That On Television — which was revealed to be vanilla pudding, apple sauce, green food coloring, and a little oatmeal by former Double Dare host Marc Summers back in June 2017 — has nothing on this tasty 2019 update, which is available at Walmart stores starting on Monday, April 29.
On Thursday, April 25, People first exclusively teased that popsicles and ice cream cups inspired by the neon green goo and Nickelodeon's trademark colors were coming to the retailer as an exclusive offering. The ice cream cups, which contain "low-fat vanilla ice cream and green icing swirls" for a slime-infused treat, will retail for $4.97 for 12 servings, meaning you're paying just about 41 cents per cup, according to the product description on Walmart's website. That's a deal that'll make you feel like it's the '90s all over again.
Meanwhile, the popsicles (which go for $2.97 for a pack of 12, or about 25 cents per pop, according to Walmart's website) are a fitting tribute to Nickelodeon's trademark colors with "combination of creamy lemon lime and orange ices," per the publication. If you're looking for a sweet and sour citrus treat to cool you down this summer, this sounds like a pretty good bet.
Unfortunately, there's no telling if this is a limited-edition offering or if these two treats are around for the long run, as Walmart didn't respond to an Elite Daily inquiry on the subject by the time of publication.
Still, I have a feeling that these bad boys will be flying off of Walmart's shelves, considering the superstore's successful track record with Nickelodeon-inspired products. Walmart previously proved that it knows its way around slime-inspired food with its Slime Sauce Ketchup, which it debuted back in June 2018. While I've always thought of the bright green substance as a sweet one, thanks to host Summers' revelation two summers ago, it was fun to have a savory condiment to add some nostalgia to my summer BBQs. The Walmart-exclusive item was a ketchup that had green food coloring added in, which transformed "corn dogs, French fries, and chicken nuggets" or whatever else you wanted to layer it on into a slime-covered meal.
So, while you might not have been one of the lucky few to get slimed at the Kids' Choice Awards on March 23, you can head to your local Walmart and choose from a few different options to bring plenty of '90s nostalgia home to your freezer or your summer BBQ.


Although we are country mice we do venture down to the city now and again, as we did Monday evening to meet friends for dinner. It is super uncool to arrive at a downtown San Francisco destination in a private automobile. Ambulation, Uber, skateboard, bike, even Segway would be better. But for us there isn't a faster way to get there and back during non-commute hours so we drive. And when there's no traffic that mostly makes sense. Mostly, of course, doesn't include that final variable: parking.
Villain: We close at 9.
Jon: OK. How much for 2 hours?
Saviour: We close at 9.
Jon: That guy says I can park in front but I figured I'd check with you.
Restauranteur: Who the hell is that guy to say who parks in front of my restaurant?
J: That's why I'm checking. So, it is OK?
Author Jon UdellPosted on 29 Oct 2015 Categories .
As a Philadelphian, pretty much everything about this story is completely alien to me. (1) Parking garages that close at 9 PM, (2) Parking garages where you can actually leave after you find out how much it costs to park there, (3) Parking garages where the attendant tells you a place you can park for free, (4) driving to a downtown restaurant being uncool, (5) there being an empty loading zone parking space in front of a downtown restaurant (6) that isn't taken up by super-expensive valets who are going to charge you $35 to park your car in either Garage 1 or Garage 2.
Actually, the only thing that wasn't alien was the line "Who the hell is that guy to say who parks in front of my restaurant?" That guy might have been from Philly, originally.
I think he's from Hunan Province, actually.
I, however, am also from Philly and I share your bewilderment.
I can attest to the accuracy of this story.
The mysteries of parking are eternal.

ORANGE, Calif. (July 23, 2018) – Immediate controversy ensued after the reading of the official scoring between lightweights Zhora Hamazaryan and Thomas Mattice.
Artie Pelullo, who co-promotes Hamazaryan with Thompson Boxing, will appeal the outcome of last Friday's Zhora Hamazaryan – Thomas Mattice fight with the Iowa commission. Mattice won the 8-round fight by split decision.
Pelullo spoke to Iowa Commissioner Joe Walsh after the fight on Friday, which took place at the WinnaVegas Casino.
The bout was seen by a nationally televised audience as the co-feature of a ShoBox: The New Generation card on SHOWTIME.
In the fight, Hamazaryan scored an explosive 2nd round knockdown; rocked Mattice several more times, and dominated the action. Hamazaryan badly hurt Mattice in round seven. Most people who saw the fight thought that Hamazayan won 6 rounds to 2, plus the 2nd round knockdown.
Hall of Fame SHOWTIME announcer Steve Farhood called the the decision one of the worst in the history of the series, while his fellow Hall of Fame broadcaster Barry Tompkins went even farther by calling it the worst decision in 40 years.
Scores: Hamazaryan 77-74 / Mattice 76-75 twice.

The Court as Archive
In this seminar, I will outline research that I have conducted (with Professor Kim Rubenstein and Ann Genovese) for a recently completed project entitled 'The Court as Archive: Rethinking the Institutional Role of Superior Courts of Record'. This project engages a unique investigation into the institutional purpose and civic responsibilities of courts through their archival role. While it has long been acknowledged that courts have constitutional and procedural duties to documents as a matter of law, this project asks what obligations courts have to care for those materials in a way that understands their public meaning and public value for the communities they serve, in the past, in the present and for the future. Located at the Federal Court of Australia, the project set out to interpret and clarify the unique role of this court as a site of production of significant national archives as a result of its particular jurisdiction, including native title, human rights and migration. The project resulted in the recent publication of an edited collection called The Court as Archive (ANU Press, 2019): press.anu.edu.au/publications/court-archive.
This project joins contemporary scholarly interest in, and interventions into, how archives are perceived and used, making visible and scrutinising the 19th century presumption that state archives exist to sustain and promulgate a particular account of history as that of the 'nation'. In settler colonial contexts such as Australia and Canada, this scrutiny and rethinking of archives has been driven by Indigenous critique and has been a catalyst for moves towards decolonisation of settler colonial archives and has notably coalesced around legal and political responses to the history of the removal, institutionalisation and abuse of Indigenous children. In the second part of the seminar, I will outline research I have conducted into disputes that have arisen in Canada about destruction of legal archives produced for the purpose of assessing reparations for First Nations, Inuit and Métis people under the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement (IRSSA). These disputes highlight Indigenous peoples' mistrust of state and institutional legal archives, demands for control of archives and legal actions for destruction of records in the important and challenging process of decolonising settler colonial archives.

Her research focuses on analysis of legal decision-making, court processes and evidentiary assessment, drawing on approaches in the humanities, particularly theories of documentation, settler-colonialism and feminism.

I've had the advantage of seeing this DVD and you're wondering whether to go for it or not. Let me say this emphatically: if this was a Practical Magic product I would be really proud. Sure, there are a few Americanisms, and if you're reading this in the US then great! If you are reading it outside the US, I'd say that the material is entirely adaptable, and 95% of it needs no adaptation.
Norm is not only a terrific performer, he's also a great teacher.

Linux.conf.au 2012: planes, sounds and freedom
by Stilgherrian in Australian Technology , in Social Enterprise on January 20, 2012, 10:48 AM PST
For security researcher, software hacker and activist Jacob Appelbaum, the equation is clear. Anyone working on surveillance or censorship technology is part of a serious global problem.
"When someone says that they are in favour of internet filtering, what they're actually saying is that they're in favour of you being ignorant and them having power to be your master. I reject that," he told the Linux.conf.au 2012 (LCA) conference in Ballarat yesterday.
Appelbaum is one of the key developers of The Tor Project, software that enables its users to communicate anonymously on the internet, and he's represented controversial whistleblower site WikiLeaks.
As a result, he has become a target for US law enforcement agencies, who have detained him a dozen times at border checkpoints and seized his laptop and mobile phones.
In this final of four daily podcasts from LCA, you'll hear Appelbaum discuss the links between the western intelligence agencies such as Australia's Defence Signals Directorate (DSD), security vendors and Middle Eastern governments for which he has little regard.
You'll also hear David Rowe explain Codec 2, audio compression software that can transmit intelligible speech in as little as 1400 bits per second.
Rowe's motivation was to bring telecommunications to people and areas where power was limited. But another potential application is low-power battlefield communication, and that led to Codec 2 being placed in the same category as nuclear technology or the ingredients for chemical weapons.
And Andrew Tridgell, best-known for his role in developing the Samba networking technology, introduces us to his recent work with semi-autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including geofencing --- giving the aircraft a geographical boundary within which it must operate.
The hobby is much cheaper than it used to be, and Tridgell suggests contacting the Model Aeronautical Association of Australia, the Canberra Model Aircraft Club and online UAV community DIY Drones.

Zakk Sabbath to Re-Record Black Sabbath's Debut Album in 24 Hours
Zakk Wylde is one of the world's biggest Black Sabbath fans. Hell, he even started Zakk Sabbath so he could tour playing the heavy metal architects' material. The guitar legend is now gonna take his Sabbath fandom one step further — re-recording the band's debut album to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
In the spirit of the original album, Zakk Sabbath will cover Black Sabbath completely in analogue, direct to two-inch tape. The band will also track the entire record in the space of 24 hours, just like Sabbath did five decades ago.
"Vertigo Records issued the debut album by Black Sabbath on Friday, February 13, 1970, and the world was never the same," Zakk Sabbath write. "Legendarily recorded in a single day in October 1969, the earthmoving self-titled set closed the book on hippie optimism with its dark magic and ushered in a brand new genre, setting the metal template for decades to come."
"Exactly 50 years to the date later, Zakk Sabbath will celebrate the first chapter in the Sabbath catalog with a reverently rendered tribute, simply titled Vertigo. Our aim is to faithfully re-record the album in the spirit of the original recordings: live in a fully analogue studio, direct to two inch tape, in a single 24 hour period. A film crew will document the process, culminating in a single album and DVD release limited to just 500 copies and delivered to purchasers on February 13, 2020."
Unfortunately, all 500 pre-orders have already been sold, but we're sure the Internet will make Vertigo extremely available.
Zakk Sabbath will tour North America this August with special guest Don Jamieson. Click here for the full list of dates.

Researchers literally looking into the minds of psychopathic criminals have found out some interesting information about their to feel empathy, publishing their results in the journal Brain. The researchers took people in prison in the Netherlands, who were diagnosed as "psychopaths," and compared their brain scans — using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) — of activated brain regions to those of individuals without the psychopathic condition.
Both groups were placed into an MRI machine and subjected to an fMRI, or functional MRI scan, which detects where oxygen is flowing in the brain. This lets researchers know which regions of the brain are using more energy, and therefore are becoming activated in certain situations. The study's participants were then shown a series of videos without any real instructions.
The videos showed hands touching each other in different ways, including in a loving, painful, rejective, and neutral way. The convicted criminals who were diagnosed with psychopathy were then told to watch the same clips again, but were also told to try to feel emotion as the clips were played. The fMRI showed that the subjects who were diagnosed with psychopathy were able to turn on the empathy centers of their brain, and have their scans resemble those taken from individuals who had not been diagnosed with the issue.
Empathy is one's ability to feel what others are feeling indirectly, and the related system in place in the brain is called the "mirror system." People who are diagnosed with being psychopathic have less of a response to pain, and the pain centers of their brains are not active when they see others in pain.
"The predominant notion had been that they are callous individuals, unable to feel emotions themselves and therefore unable to feel emotions in others. Our work shows it's not that simple. They don't lack empathy but they have a switch to turn it on and off. By default, it seems to be off," Christian Keysers, from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, told BBC.
In the end, the research suggests that people with the psychological diagnosis can have the same areas of their brain activated as healthy individuals can. But the research does not go into whether the study's psychpathic participants could actually feel empathy on demand, rather than just regions of their brains being activated. "Psychopathy may not be so much the incapacity to empathize, but a reduced propensity to empathize, paired with a preserved capacity to empathize when required to do so," said Valeria Gazzola, one of the study's authors.

Q: Blank audio recording hack causes huge file To keep my iPhone app active in background at all times, I am using the audio recording hack where I start an audio recording session when app resigns foreground. This works fine but there are two concerns:

*

*If it goes over several hours, the recorded audio file size will be huge and that will cause storage issues. I tried stopping and starting recording every few seconds but that does not work since app deactivates in background, as soon recording stops. Is there a better way to deal with this issue?

*What would be the ideal audio recording settings/format for this recording, which will least stress the CPU, Battery and memory?

A: It's the same problem I was having:
HttpUrlConnection returns FileNotFoundException if you try to read the getInputStream() from the connection.
You should instead use getErrorStream() when the status code is higher than 400.
More than this, please be careful since it's not only 200 to be the success status code, even 201, 204, etc. are often used as success statuses.
Here is an example of how I went to manage it
... connection code code code ...

// Get the response code
int statusCode = connection.getResponseCode();

InputStream is = null;

if (statusCode >= 200 && statusCode < 400) {
   // Create an InputStream in order to extract the response object
   is = connection.getInputStream();
}
else {
   is = connection.getErrorStream();
}

... callback/response to your handler....

In this way, you'll be able to get the needed response in both success and error cases.
Hope this helps!

FITCHBURG -- Mark Pierce will serve as interim principal of the McKay Arts Academy until the end of the year while the district looks for a leader to oversee the school's turnaround.
Acting Superintendent Bob Jokela announced the change Friday, which coincides with a transfer of ownership of the school principalship from Fitchburg State University to Fitchburg Public Schools. McKay, which serves pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students, is located on Fitchburg State's campus.
"Mark brings school leadership, academic coaching, and student discipline background and experience," Jokela said in a statement.
Pierce was previously a math coach and an assistant principal at the high school.
His experience also includes helping Fitchburg High School with its voluntary turnaround through the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and having a relationship with DESE's Statewide System of Support for McKay, which is classified as a turnaround school, according to the statement.
Turnaround schools are ones that receive support, resources, and training to help improve student learning through the DESE.
Pierce takes over from Lourdes Ramirez, who was an associate dean and principal of McKay since 2015. She has assumed a new position with Fitchburg State, according to the statement.
The job posting for a turnaround principal for the 2019-2020 school year was posted Saturday on School Spring, a job board for education positions.
Responsibilities for the job include establishing and implementing a vision for the school to improve teaching and learning outcomes and maintaining high expectations for all students.
Applications are due March 29 and the new principal would start July 1.

Retailers: Gamers are ditching the PS3 for Xbox 360
By Matthew DeCarlo on May 12, 2011, 17:16 73 comments
Sony's ongoing PlayStation Network outage is coming back to hit the company where it hurts: in the pocket. Edge spoke with various UK retailers who say customers are growing impatient with the inability to play games online, which has resulted in declining PlayStation-related sales along with a growing trend of PlayStation 3 returns.
One store manager said PS3 trade-ins have increased by over 200%, with about half of the customers requesting cash and the other half taking an Xbox 360 in exchange. A retail employee at another store reported a similar trend of PS3 trade-ins, with many disgruntled Sony customers returning their console for an Xbox 360 -- especially the "hardcore online shooter crowd."
Tom Mestagh of GameSwap, an independent Belgian retailer, echoed those findings. Although it's common for people to sell their consoles for quick bill money, Mestagh has observed a difference in recent dealings. Instead of selling just their console, people are bringing their PS3 with all their games and they want an Xbox 360, not cash. He also noted that those customers tend to be Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2 players.
Edge compared recent game sales from before and after the outage. In mid to late March, 49% to 52% of Black Ops sales were for the Xbox 360 while 37% to 40% were for the PS3. On April 30, 10 days into the outage, Black Ops sales were divided 59% to 30% in Microsoft's favor. That gap widened last week with 66% of sales on the Xbox and 24% on the PS3. FIFA 11 shows the same trend with PS3 sales falling from 37% to 21%.
Unsurprisingly, retailers also said that Sony's customer satisfaction has plummeted. "Overall, people that have traded with us seem annoyed at how Sony has handled all of this, and say they would not trust them with details again in the future," said one source. Edge made it clear that its report is based on a small sample and that UK hardware sales are rarely broken down by platform, so we may never see the big picture.

I got a tube of Yes to Tomatoes Daily Clarifying Cleanser for the husband, which was kind of funny as tomatoes are the one vegetable he won't eat. I always tease him about it: what kind of a vegetarian doesn't like tomatoes? Seriously, The Blond likes okra well enough but won't touch a fresh tomato (he doesn't have a problem with cooked, roasted or sun-dried. Just not the juicy fresh ones that I practically live on). But I got him to say Yes To Tomatoes in this case.
The husband has a combination skin that can get dry in places but is also prone to clogging. He does all the yard work as well as various home maintenance projects outside and ends up quite grimy, which requires an effective cleanser. Yes To Tomatoes seems to have been doing its job in this regard, and since I've borrowed the cleanser several times to use with my Clarisonic, I can tell you that the texture is pleasant, the cream foams nicely for an SLS-free product and doesn't irritate my skin (I do need a good dose of hydration afterwards, but that's expected). Yes To Tomatoes is rich in lycopene, aloe, and is supposed to be 95% all natural and certified organic, but it is a scented product (I like the fragrance they used. It's light and soapy), so take that into account if you're sensitive. The husband claims it smells like tomatoes which puts him off from using it too often. I have no idea what he's talking about.
Water, Lauryl Glucoside, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Extract, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Extract, Citrullus Vulgaris Seed Oil (Watermelon), Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos/Red Tea) Leaf Extract, Maris Limus (Dead Sea Mud), Water, Lauryl Glucoside, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Extract, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Extract, Citrullus Vulgaris Seed Oil (Watermelon), Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos/Red Tea) Leaf Extract, Maris Limus (Dead Sea Mud), Citric Acid, Phenethyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Alcohol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Fragrance.
Bottom Line: It works, but I'll have to find the husband something different.
Yes to Tomatoes Daily Clarifying Cleanser ($9.99) is available at Ulta, Target, and drugstore.com.
What a funny post! I reellg don't know anyone who doesn't like tomatoes..,! It's interesting that the ingredients include watermelon seed oil and roobois... Sounds like something I would like to try.


In the U.S., fraud is a huge "business." Billions of dollars are lost each year due to an abundance of fraudulent schemes. A few of the popular types of fraud include credit card fraud, insurance fraud, prescription drug fraud, and check washing fraud.Every industry is continually fighting fraud with new technologies in an attempt to stay a step ahead of the fraudsters. For example, a recent change in the credit card industry to prevent credit card counterfeiting for card present transactions was to include chips in the new EMV (stands for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa) credit cards.One type of fraud I'd specifically like to bring light to is fraud surrounding paper checks. Yes, I'm talking about those old-fashioned pieces of paper used to pay for goods and services. They are used much less frequently these days for in-store purchases; however Inflatable Hands , they are still a very popular way for payments in business to business (B2B) transactions. Value Pens Overall check fraud exceeds $18.7 billion annually in the U.S. according to the FBI.Because paper checks are commonly mailed, they can easily be intercepted by those looking to get their hands on them for deceitful purposes. Check washing schemes account for over $815 million dollars in fraud annually. Checks are often "washed" in order to change the "Pay To" fields as well as the "Amount" fields so they can be cashed or deposited into temporary fake checking accounts.However, there are ways to prevent these check washing schemes and reduce your chances of being victim to this type of fraud. You can use pens with Anti Fraud Ink. Even better, you can get promotional pens with Anti Fraud ink and give out to your employees and customers to help prevent them from being victim to check fraud.According to the 2015 AFP Payments Fraud and Control Survey, checks are the most targeted method of fraud (77% of the time)!But have no fear; there are pens available with an anti-fraud ink that prevent check washing as well as document fraud. wholesale Folding Cups These anti-fraud ink pens utilize an ink that becomes trapped in the paper making it virtually impossible to erase or wash off with common chemicals used in check washing. The ink is also fade resistant from UV light.Below are 5 different pens that are not only affordable, but they are also great looking pens that will prevent check washing. These are perfect promotional giveaways for banks and credit unions to show customers they are serious about check safety and preventing check fraud.


For the past few years the Friday after Thanksgiving has become the day for us to get our Christmas tree. That probably has something to do with the fact that our son, Adam and his family are often here to help. Adam always does a great job of putting it up and stringing the lights. When he was younger I spent a lot of time training him on proper Christmas tree lighting so I figure I'm now reaping the rewards of my hard work. Ha!
Charlie was concerned that some of the ornaments didn't seeming very Christmasy. For instance, we have one ornament of a trolley car that we got when we were on a family trip to San Francisco 25 years ago. Charlie's question was "What does a trolley car have to do with Christmas?" It wasn't until after he left that I came up with a good answer, "Every ornament represents a friend, family member, or special memory. Thus, it's a tree full of love and memories. True, they might not all point to Jesus, the reason for Christmas, but each one reminds me of a special gift from God that has been a part of my life. Of course, some of the ornaments have stories that I can no longer recall so I just have to assume it's a good one.
I thought I'd share just a few of my ornament stories with you.
First off, the Hallmark store ornament was given to me by my mom in honor of my grandfather. My grandfather, whom I called Boppa worked for Hallmark for many years, starting in the mailroom and working his way up to Vice President. He had dropped out of high school after his dad died to take care of his family, but Mr. Hall saw in him the determination and intelligence to make a difference in the business. I was always very proud to call him my grandpa and every year when I see this ornament it reminds me of the times we spent together.
This next ornament came from my mom's stash when she was getting rid of some of her ornaments and it definitely falls into the "has nothing to do with Christmas" category but hey, how many people do you know with a red and silver mushroom on their Christmas tree? I keep it because it's quirky and makes me laugh.
My grandmother Gall (my dad's mom) knit a bunch of these bells in red and white (really, it's not yellow, even though it appears that way in the picture.) She and my grandpa had a huge holly bush in their front yard and at least for a few years, they would cut a branch of it and use it as their Christmas tree. My grandma would decorate the tree with the red and white bells she had made and I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen. I still have a couple of the bells and I've passed down one to each of my kids to remember their great-grandmother by.
When I was a little girl my grandmother Stevenson sent me a new ornament every year (at least I think it was every year). Anyway, I have two of these "egg" ornaments. This one with a manger scene and another with a ballerina (because I was very into ballet) but the ballerina has balance issues these days and I can't seem to get her to stand on her toes in an upright position. Of course, she's better off than I am–I don't seem to be able to stand on my toes at all!
I could go on for days telling you about my ornaments but I'll end with just one more. Every time we go on a mission trip, visit a foreign country, or even just take a special trip here in America I pick up a new ornament. It's not that I need more ornaments, mind you, (though I might benefit from another tree) I just like having the memory (and I don't buy a lot of other mementos, much to John's dismay). I also get one for each of our grandkids so someday they'll have a bunch of memories from Nana and Boppa for their tree.
Sometimes I have to be VERY creative when searching for ornaments because some places just don't sell Christmas ornaments in March, and Muslim countries are short on Christmas stores (go figure). We brought this next ornament home from Russia several years ago. The orphans that we worked with there had made an ornament for every team member before we arrived. They were such sweet kids and I still remember the tearful goodbyes when we left them.
The ornament in the picture at the top of this blog post was given to me by a friend who works with the mission organization we worked with in Russia. She made it for me one year and I love thinking of her when I put it on my tree.
I hope you have lots of special memories hanging on your tree and they bring you as much joy as mine bring to me. My suggestion is to write down the stories now, before you forget. Just sayin'.
This entry was posted in My Everyday Life and tagged Christmas Tree, memories, ornaments on November 27, 2017 by Nancy.
Loved your Christmas tree share. My tree has 2 clusters of my grandma Lukecart's Bells… 3 egg ornaments of wizard of oz made by my sister & many homemade dough ornaments… plus a bazillion more beautiful homemade ornaments from years of our families annual ornament exchange. When my children left home they had a beautiful, priceless collection of roughly 15 years of ornaments. They truly are priceless pieces that keep loved ones close. There were years I left my tree up until mid January because it was so hard to put them away. My scarecrow, tin man & lion remain out all year on an ornament stand. Thank you Jesus for the precious memories!
Amen, Dianne! So thankful for the memories!
I had a few ornaments I wanted to crush this year. And I nearly did. They just made me sad. But rather than impulsively do something I couldn't undo I phoned a friend. She suggested I hide them on the backside of the tree because sometimes things need to become hidden things that can use hiding time to transform into something sweet. She's a pretty wise friend. This worked well for 28 hours. Then my children knocked over the tree and the backside became the topside and things came out of hiding. In case you're wondering, 28 hours of hiding was not enough time to sweeten those ornaments. I hope by next year they are ready to return to the front.
I'm sorry you have some bad memories on your tree but I think your friend is wise in her suggestion. Sorry to hear about the tree topple. We've had that at our house, too. Never any fun.

Q: Compare rows of a data frame and remove them under conditions I have this data frame:
name school age
 jon  a      10
 jon  a      15
 jon  b      20
 jon  c      25
 jon  x      30
 jon  y      60

I want to compare row1 with row2 and row2 with row3 and so on. and when age1>age2 remove the row
of age 2
so the final output for this example will be like this:
name school age
 jon   y     60

this the code I wrote
Name <- c("Jon", "Jon", "Jon", "Jon", "Jon", "Jon")
school <- c("a", "a", "c", "b", "x", "y")
Age <- c(10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 60)

dfOriginal <- data.frame(Name, school, Age )

for(i in 1:nrow(dfOriginal))
{
  age1 <- dfOriginal[i, "Age"]
   #print(age1)

  for(j in 2:nrow(dfOriginal))
 {

age2 <- dfOriginal[j, "Age"]

if(is.na(age1) | is.na(age2))
  break

if(age1 > age2)
  dfOriginal <- dfOriginal[-c(j),]

if(age2>age1)
 dfOriginal <- dfOriginal[-c(i),]

if(age1 == age2)
  dfOriginal <- dfOriginal[-c(i),]
 }
}

but this code gives me this result:
 jon c 25
 jon y 60

A: you don't need to compare any of these. What you need is:

*

*Arrange the values in decreasing order.

*Choose the highest values.

#let's assume that your data is stored in a dataframe called df
install.packages("dplyr")
library(dplyr)
df = as_data_frame(df) #convert your data to a dataframe to be sure
df <- df %>%
  arrange(desc(df)) #now you have an arranged dataframe

df <- df[1,] #I assume that your headers are not in the

Farinelli was not only a phenomenon who enraptured the audiences of Europe's most famous theatres with his prodigious vocal virtuosity, but he was also a highly sophisticated musician who successfully exported and exploited Italian music, showing it to its best advantage. His inborn diplomatic skills along with his deep and genuine humanity and his interpersonal skills were important in the singer's transfer to the royal court in Madrid at the service of Phillip the V, Ferdinand the VI, and Carlo the III. Thanks to Ferdinand the VI above all, Farinelli was awarded prestigious aristocratic titles and the services he rendered went beyond the boundaries of music: he became a rich and powerful man who also wielded considerable influence in the political sphere. Perhaps it was because of this very power that Carlo the III had him sent away from Madrid in 1759. His return to Italy in 1761 marked the beginning of the last phase of his life, in which the "pilgrimages" famous young musicians, among them the young Mozart, made to him in his regal villa in Bologna were his sole relief. Carlo Broschi studied music in Naples under Niccolò Porpora, one of the most famous opera singers in Italy of the 18th century. In Spain, he worked with Domenico Scarlatti. Both of these composers contributed to refining his musical taste, especially from an instrumental point of view: it is well known that Farinelli not only sang, but was also a good harpsichordist and violist da gambo. During his stay in Spain, he enjoyed composing arias and sonatas for keyboard instruments. Moreover, he reworked a few of the "Arie da baule", composed by others but which had brought him fame in theatres throughout Europe. Among Farinelli's slim musical productions are the six arias he sent on March 30th 1753 and dedicated to the enlightened sovereign, Maria Theresa from Austria, the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, a great lover and admirer of the Art of Music.
