Why on Earth is the God-Emperor attacking Ann Coulter?
I think the president's response is better understood via the socio-sexual hierarchy than through politics. Trump knows better than anyone else that he's failing to deliver. He can sense his support crumbling; alphas are very sensitive to these things. And alphas highly value female opinion, as it is female approval of them that most clearly highlights their distinction from men lower in the hierarchy.
So, Coulter's brutal appraisal of the president's near-complete failure on the most important issue of his campaign stings him to his core. Coulter, by the way, almost certainly knows this and she is not attempting to tear the president down, but rather to motivate him to stop listening to the cucks and foreigners and bad economists around him and start living up to his promises.
The challenges are manifold, even though Trump is genuinely doing more to address the problem than any president since Eisenhower and he is meeting staunch and formidable opposition. But he is betrayed by his own preference for negotiated settlements and expectations of rational behavior on the part of his opponents, and by his own civic nationalism. Unless he is willing to declare no-quarter, go scorched earth on the issue, and actually behave as if he is facing a genuine national emergency of existential proportions - which he legitimately is, whether he is able to grasp that or not - he is going to fail on all three of the primary issues upon which he was elected.
That doesn't mean he has been a failure. Far from it! He has been an excellent president and he will be justifiably re-elected in 2020. The problem is that after more than 50 years of relentless foreign invasion, the situation is so dire that mere excellence will not suffice.
The social science backs up common sense and observation concerning the terrible social policy of encouraging women to work outside the home rather than marry and raise children.
Whatever the theoretical benefits of doubling the percentage of women in the workforce were, the material costs to society have dramatically exceeded them. This is not about women working per se, as one-third of women have always worked, but the change since 1950 is that most young marriage-age women now work so that old men can collect Social Security, watch TV, and play golf instead of working as they always had before.
The results have been not merely dyscivic and dysgenic, but downright dyscivilizational. And regardless of what you think on the matter, it is clear that a society which encourages widespread female education and employment is not sustainable and is guaranteed to collapse sooner rather than later.
This is what software engineers describe as "a feature, not a bug." It's also Exhibit 47,339 in Why Female Suffrage was a Cataclysmic Mistake.
There are other factors, of course, particularly the dysgenic effects of female education. One has to wonder what the point of educating women is supposed to be when the next generation of women are going to be considerably less intelligent because so few of the highly intelligent, highly educated manage to replace themselves.
But the sheer magnitude of the movement of peoples is the more significant factor. This is why the infrastructure in the USA is never going to return to the state it was in previous decades. The society simply isn't intelligent enough on average to maintain it any longer.
Free speech advocates celebrate! The Irish can now blaspheme freely!
Ireland has voted to remove a reference to blasphemy as a punishable offense from the country's constitution, paving the way for repeal of a law that criminalizes public utterances judged offensive to religious sensibilities.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that the true battle is neither Left vs Right nor even Globalist vs Nationalist, but rather Christianity vs Satanism in all its many guises.
The problem of the machine not spitting out results preferred by those using it is hardly new. And while the article claims that "gender bias was not the only issue" and that "problems with the data that underpinned the models' judgments meant that unqualified candidates were often recommended for all manner of jobs" is almost certainly true, the problem is that Amazon did not give its AI a fair shake.
Amazon simply assumed that the undesired preference for male employees and "unqualified candidates" was a bug rather than the feature that it may have been. If the AI actually worked, then it would have undermined not only the concept of sexual equality, but credentialism as well. But instead of actually allowing the experiment to proceed and seeing if those unqualified male candidates recommended by the AI were successful employees, they chose to kill it on the basis of its violation of their preconceived ideas.
It's too bad that they didn't allow the experiment to play out, because the complete destruction of corporate credentialism is desperately needed in today's increasingly competitive global marketplace. Then again, given how Amazon already dominates the online retail space, it's probably just as well for their competitors that they turned away from the possible advantage the AI-HR system might have given them.
When somebody says, well to answer that question you need to know about this process, that process and the other he's all up in their face about being evasive, or having "admitted" to not knowing something that is impossible to know.
Because unlike you, I understand why they are being evasive. Do you think I don't know that they don't have the information required to answer the question? What they are trying to do is avoid the obvious follow-on questions... because eventually, the lack of quantification makes it obvious that THEY HAVE NO PREDICTIVE MODELS. The theory is not only not scientific, it is entirely useless.
That's the dirty little secret of evolutionary science. It is pseudo-scientific onanism. You can be an excellent genetic scientist and believe that DNA was coded by aliens from Alpha Centauri. Think about it; on the basis of the timescales alone, evolution by natural selection is not only bound to be unscientific in the testable hypothesis test, but is quite manifestly useless in almost any scientific capacity.
That's why after 200 years, most evolution-related papers are still largely concerned with trying to prove that evolution is real. That is not the mark of a strong or useful hypothesis.
Could I be wrong? Sure. I'm a skeptic, not an absolute denier. But note that my predictions of increasing genetic complexity and less and less credible "epicycles" required to explain away that complexity are being born out.

By Paul Woodward, March 2, 2018
Frans de Waal asks: are we smart enough to know how smart animals are?
Just as attitudes of superiority within segments of human culture are often expressions of ignorance, humans collectively — especially when subject to the dislocating effects of technological dependence — tend to underestimate the levels of awareness and cognitive skills of creatures who live mostly outside our sight. This tendency translates into presuppositions that need to be challenged by what de Waal calls his "cognitive ripple rule":
Every cognitive capacity that we discover is going to be older and more widespread than initially thought.
In a review of de Waal's book, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?, Ludwig Huber notes that there are a multitude of illustrations of the fact that brain size does not correlate with cognitive capacities.
Whereas we once thought of humans as having unique capabilities in learning and the use of tools, we now know these attributes place us in a set of species that also includes bees. Our prior assumptions about seemingly robotic behavior in such creatures turns out to have been an expression of our own anthropocentric prejudices.
Huber writes:
Various doctrines of human cognitive superiority are made plausible by a comparison of human beings and the chimpanzees. For questions of evolutionary cognition, this focus is one-sided. Consider the evolution of cooperation in social insects, such as the Matabele ant (Megaponera analis). After a termite attack, these ants provide medical services. Having called for help by means of a chemical signal, injured ants are brought back to the nest. Their increased chance of recovery benefits the entire colony. Red forest ants (Myrmica rubra) have the ability to perform simple arithmetic operations and to convey the results to other ants.
When it comes to adaptations in animals that require sophisticated neural control, evolution offers other spectacular examples. The banded archerfish (Toxotes jaculatrix) is able to spit a stream of water at its prey, compensating for refraction at the boundary between air and water. It can also track the distance of its prey, so that the jet develops its greatest force just before impact. Laboratory experiments show that the banded archerfish spits on target even when the trajectory of its prey varies. Spit hunting is a technique that requires the same timing used in throwing, an activity otherwise regarded as unique in the animal kingdom. In human beings, the development of throwing has led to an enormous further development of the brain. And the archerfish? The calculations required for its extraordinary hunting technique are based on the interplay of about six neurons. Neural mini-networks could therefore be much more widespread in the animal kingdom than previously thought.
Research on honeybees (Apis mellifera) has brought to light the cognitive capabilities of minibrains. Honeybees have no brains in the real sense. Their neuronal density, however, is among the highest in insects, with roughly 960 thousand neurons—far fewer than any vertebrate. Even if the brain size of honeybees is normalized to their body size, their relative brain size is lower than most vertebrates. Insect behavior should be less complex, less flexible, and less modifiable than vertebrate behavior. But honeybees learn quickly how to extract pollen and nectar from a large number of different flowers. They care for their young, organize the distribution of tasks, and, with the help of the waggle dance, they inform each other about the location and quality of distant food and water.
Early research by Karl von Frisch suggested that such abilities cannot be the result of inflexible information processing and rigid behavioral programs. Honeybees learn and they remember. The most recent experimental research has, in confirming this conclusion, created an astonishing picture of the honeybee's cognitive competence. Their representation of the world does not consist entirely of associative chains. It is far more complex, flexible, and integrative. Honeybees show configural conditioning, biconditional discrimination, context-dependent learning and remembering, and even some forms of concept formation. Bees are able to classify images based on such abstract features as bilateral symmetry and radial symmetry; they can comprehend landscapes in a general way, and spontaneously come to classify new images. They have recently been promoted to the set of species capable of social learning and tool use.
In any case, the much smaller brain of the bee does not appear to be a fundamental limitation for comparable cognitive processes, or at least their performance. Jumping spiders and cephalopods are similarly instructive. The similarities between mammals and bees are astonishing, but they cannot be traced to homologous neurological developments. As long as the animal's neural architecture remains unknown, we cannot determine the cause of their similarity. [Continue reading…]

International Festival for Contemporary Dance and Performance
Digital Antistatic
Choreographic Convention V
Nonument
"Graffiti artists, adventurers, travellers and other curious folks break into this riddled 'chapel' of a fictional future through any possible crack. Landed on a mountain top like a forgotten flying saucer from another galaxy, the Nonument asks: What meaning are we going to give it? Or how much dynamite are we going to put in it."
National ICARUS Award 2019 – Nomination for Contemporary Dance and Performance
A screening of a movie, shot during the first presentation of the performance on the 14th of September, 2019, in front of the House of the Bulgarian Communist Party on Buzludzha Peak.
Nonument is a performance, utilizing the format of a Radioballe through a prerecorded audio-play. It was first presented on 14th of September 2019 in front of the House of the Bulgarian Communist Party on Buzludzha Peak. Led by an audio file, which each member of the audience listens to on their own with a headset, the participants take a walk around Buzludzha Monument, experience its architecture, revisit historical scenes and are invited to perform casual gestures, which are delicately reminiscent of the protest performances of Jiri Kovanda in Prague in 1976 or of Erdem Gündüz at Gezi Park in Istanbul in 2013. The film captures the experiences of the audience and tells about the monument from an unexpected angel.
Nonument is the third collaboration between the Bulgarian artists Stephan A. Shtereff and Emilian Gatsov-Elbi, and the German collective LIGNA. It was preceded by Secret Radio (2014) and Rapture and Rage: Studies on the authoritarian character (2017).
"Today, Buzludzha's Nonument is falling apart. It spiritually evaporated as soon as it was built. Its bright star is no longer visible, neither to the North nor to the South. This "home" of ideology today is a ruin. House of Ruinism? Of Buzludzhanism? Of Pessimism? Graffiti artists, adventurers, travellers and other curious folks break into this riddled "chapel" of a fictional future through any possible crack. Landed on a mountain top like a forgotten flying saucer from another galaxy, the Nonument asks: What meaning are we going to give it? Or how much dynamite are we going to put in it." – Stephan A. Shtereff.
Stephan A. Shtereff is an artist and a producer. He hold a degree in Synthetic Stage Arts from University of Plovdiv, graduated from Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University, International School of Theatre Anthropology and Body Unlimited program of Arts Academy of Novi Sad and was awarded DanceWeb scholarship. He is actively involved in the local and the international theater and dance scene, as well as cinema and television. Director of the Informbureau Association; Co-founder of Antistatic International Festival for Contemporary Dance and Performance; European Theaters' Night; Nomad Dance Academy Bulgaria and Toplocentrala Association
The performance is part of M.A.P.S. project and "MemoryBUT" project, funded by The National Culture Fund, and is realized in collaboration between the Museum of Humour and Satire (Bulgaria), Informbureau Association (Bulgaria), MoTA (Slovenia), WHMEDIA (Austria), Tačka komunikacije (Serbia), Centre for Central European Architecture (Prague), ArtOS Foundation(Cyprus) and with support from Creative Europe Programme of the European Commission, the National Culture Fund of Bulgaria and with the collaboration of Stara Zagora Regional Government.

Statue 'sings' Monroe's praises
Just read a letter to the editor from an offended Palm Springs resident, who haughtily sniffed "Ick," the "Forever Marilyn" statue does not belong in the downtown Palm Springs park ("Marilyn statue wrong for downtown," Oct. 2 letter). The author of that letter sees it as a "throwback to a darker time."
When the Marilyn statue was here a few years ago, we always brought our out-of-town guests to see her and they all loved her just as much as we did and still do. None of us have ever seen anything "dark" in the unadulterated exuberance, joy and natural beauty of Marilyn standing over that subway grate with her skirt billowing around her.
Marilyn was in charge of her own beauty and sexuality and that is something all of us should celebrate. So what if a few adolescent dolts (both the young and old ones) look up her skirt? Most of the rest of us can enjoy a truly vibrant work of art that sings the praises of an iconic legend.
If there's anyplace that Marilyn truly belongs, it's right here in Palm Springs.

Reports dispute Thiessen stance
Re: "Why is the media trying to absolve the Bidens?," Oct. 4 column by Marc a. Thiessen
Once again, Thiessen lets his support for President Trump override his credibility.
Every government response (except Trump's) and every news organization (except Fox News) makes it clear that there is no substantiated or credible evidence of wrongdoing by Biden.
Stephen Moses, Palm Springs
Military organization marks milestone
What is now the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) was founded in Los Angeles in February 1929 as TROA (The Retired Officer Association). It's leaders hoped to collectively assist and advise other military officers. This concern for others fostered natural fraternal relations among members from all seven branches of the uniformed services.
TROA headquarters moved to Washington D.C. in 1944 with a membership of 2,600.
In September 2002, the association was renamed to the Military Officers Association of America to better include active military officers.
MOAA now has more than 380,000 members. MOAA's purpose includes career transition assistance, improved member products, military benefits counseling, educational assistance to children of military families (to include enlisted families), and strong involvement in military professionalism activities.
The MOAA advocates for a strong defense. It plays an active role in military personnel matters and especially proposed legislation affecting the career force, the retired community, and veterans of the uniformed services. MOAA lobbies on issues, but doesn't advocate on candidates or parties.
The Palm Springs Chapter of the MOAA is celebrating it's 50th Anniversary on Oct. 18, 2019, at the Desert Falls Country Club. This event is open to former/active duty/retired officers. Information: (760) 399-9433.

Rob Morrison, Executive Director of NASADAD, with Kathy Stone (IA), recipient of the 2016 Ramstad-Kennedy Award.
Earlier this month Kathy Stone, Director of Addiction in the Iowa Department of Public Health and NASADAD member, received the ninth Annual Ramstad-Kennedy Award for Outstanding Leadership by a Single State Authority (SSA). In particular, Ms. Stone was honored for her leadership in recovery support programs across Iowa and across the country.
The Ramstad-Kennedy Award was established in 2008 to recognize an SSA Director who has demonstrated exceptional leadership in support of recovery and National Recovery Month, and to acknowledge Congressmen Jim Ramstad (R-MN) and Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) for their commitment to recovery and recovery-oriented policies. This year's Ramstad-Kennedy award was presented on August 10th at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Block Grant Conference. Ms. Stone received the award because of her leadership and innovation in promoting the goals of National Recovery Month in her State; expansion of Recovery Month activities within her agency and throughout local communities; and support for recovery organizations in their State.
In a statement, Congressman Kennedy said that "… all of the recipients, including Kathy Stone, have been champions of recovery for not just those suffering from a substance use disorder but also for all their family members who themselves are affected by the family disease of addiction." The award was presented in advance of the 2016 National Recovery Month, which will be observed in September with the theme Join the Voices of Recovery: Our Families, Our Stories, Our Recovery.
NASADAD has released an updated section-by-section analysis of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA; S. 524), as passed by the President. CARA includes various provisions to address opioid use disorders, including those related to prevention and education, treatment, recovery, law enforcement, and services for women, families, and veterans. After passing the House with a vote of 407-5 on July 8th and the Senate with a vote of 92-2 on July 13th, the bill was signed into law by President Obama on July 22nd.
Access NASADAD's section-by-section analysis of the bill here.
President Obama plans to deliver a speech at the 2016 National Rx Drug Abuse & Heroin Summit on 3/29 at 2:15 PM EST. The President's remarks will discuss the actions currently being taken to prevent the spread of opioid use disorders and will examine future policies for expanding access to the best drug treatment centers for christians.
"Expanding access to treatment through doctors, community health centers, and state programs.
Investing in partnerships between law enforcement and communities.
Working to save more lives by making the overdose reversal drug naloxone more readily available to first responders.
Ensuring those on Medicaid and CHIP can access mental health and substance use services as readily as medical services.

Q: Pointing some file from the parent directory in PHP I am using XAMPP server in my local machine. Let's assume my directory structure is as below
-api/
  - products.php
-includes/
  - settings.php

So from products.php page if I want to include settings.php file then I use include './includes/settings.php'; in my local machine, and it works fine. But when I move it to the remote server then I have to use include '../includes/settings.php';. The difference is ./ and ../. Why this differ in local and remote server and what is the solution ..??

A: to avoid any problems try to use DIR it will give you the path compared to where your current file exist, also try to use include_once instead of include.

DIR : The directory of the file. If used inside an include, the
  directory of the included file is returned. This is equivalent to
  dirname(FILE). This directory name does not have a trailing slash
  unless it is the root directory.

include_once __DIR__.'/../includes/settings.php';

A: There might be some difference between how your local machine and your server sees directory structure. One way to get around this is to use namespaces and "use" statements.
In your products.php at the top of the class page create a namespace. Something like:
namespace YourProject\Api;

use YourProject\Includes\Settings;

And in your settings.php class use a namespace (and any use statements you may need.) Something like:
namespace YourProject\Includes;

use YourProject\Api\Products;

You can then create new objects that you may need such as in your settings class:
$products = new Products();

Or in your products class:
$settings = new Settings();

Check Namespace and Importing from the PHP Docs for more info.

Nic and I have tomorrow off work to go to Harry Potter World! SO excited.
So along with the excellent feeling of having a long weekend, I'm also basking in the fact my health is on the up! I'm still wheezing away, but I cycled to work again, and managed a longer detoured 13 mile cycle home with Nic. Here's a photo of us in Dulwich Park, along with a couple out takes. Happy Thursday!
24/07/15 – Harry Potter World!
I like the bottom one!

Rafael Antonio Caldera Rodríguez (Spanish pronunciation: [rafaˈel anˈtonjo kalˈdeɾa roˈðɾiɣes]; 24 January 1916 – 24 December 2009),[1] twice elected President of Venezuela, served for two five-year terms (1969-1974 and 1994-1999), becoming the longest serving democratically elected leader to govern the country in the twentieth century.[2]
Widely acknowledged as one of the founders of Venezuela's democratic system,[3] the main architect of the 1961 Constitution, and a pioneer of the Christian Democratic movement in Latin America, Caldera helped forge an unprecedented period of civilian democratic rule in a country beleaguered by a history of political violence and military caudillos.[4]
His leadership established Venezuela's reputation as one of the more stable democracies in Latin America during the second half of the twentieth century.[5]
After graduating with a degree in law and political science from Central University of Venezuela in 1939, Caldera embarked on a 70-year long career that combined political, intellectual and academic activities.

Holy....nearly 2000 Favs and I got just today around 4400 views, still counting. How is that possible??
OH MY GOOOOOD THANK YOU!
Wow! I honestly thought these were real! The amount of detail you've put into this is astonishing! Everything from the detail in the gold, to the reflections inside the crystals looks completely real in every way, and that isn't easy to achieve. The only thing that concerns me is the background. It lacks detail. I don't really mind, as it isn't the main focus of the piece. Also another thing that needs changing is the light angle. On the green and red gems the light seems to be coming from the top right, but on the blue gem, it seems to be coming from the top left. Or maybe that's just me. Either way, this a great piece deserving of all the respect it recieves. Well Done!
204 out of 208 deviants thought this was fair.
The Goddesses truly reside in these stones! Least, that's what I said when I first seen this while browsing for images of Nayru's Spiritual Stone for my next tattoo. Regardless, one look at this and I swore to my friend they were real. With further inspection and reading, I felt a little crushed that they weren't! The detail and intricate textures you've used to rough out the gold etchings to give it a shimmer is absolutely sublime, the technique with the crystals themselves is spot on, and though I questioned the "black" dot on Nayru's bottom right pearl, further inspection proved to me that it was, in fact, shading done extremely well! The impact alone on this is a print I wish I could buy if only given a stunning background to fit it in!
just realized they aren't real....it's gonna take awhile to pick up all the money off my keyboard. NICE JOB!
If I hadn't read the comments, I would still be thinking these were real. An amazing job, keep it up!
I could have sworn that these were real! This is an amazing rendition!
Hey! This is completely amazing and wonderful and just wanted to let you know that you helped me out tremendously when I used this picture as a reference found right here ! Thanks so much!
before the picture is actually used or published in an edited way.
oh I'm sorry! I figured that since I just referenced the pictures for coloring purposes it wouldn't have been a problem. Again, I apologize. Thanks again!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW *____* It's sooo amazing brilliant work !
I'm starting out my own 3D Design course may I print this image and use it in my sketch book for things that Inspire me and that will influence my object design direction in my course notes, please?
Sure as long as you don't change it or use it in other artworks.
No problem! It's just for a reference to other work I've seen and admired and i really liked this! Thank you!
I can definitely see why this is your favourite picture! They are gorgeous!
Almost like something you'd seen in a fine jewelry store.
Lmao I totally thought this was something I could buy. This is awesome work. Keep it up!
These aren't real?? you sure??
Ffff I thought those were real!
do u sell these? i must have them!!
aww thats sad, i had a feeling they werent, but my heart wouldnt let me admit it lol either way they look awesome!
Somebody should make these for real, I would throw money at them! This looks great!
The reflections in the gold is class A stuff.
WOW i thought these were real till i read the critique so good! love it!
Niceeee,.. Where can you get those? They are beautiful, even without any more effects!!

How deep is a vagina? What to know
Medically reviewed by Cynthia Cobb, DNP, APRN, WHNP-BC, FAANP — Written by Rachel Nall, MSN, CRNA on January 12, 2020
What affects size?
Vagina size and penis length
A woman's vagina is a sex organ as well as part of the birth canal. Just as women can have different sized breasts, hands, and feet, the size and depth of vaginas can also vary.
According to one study, the average depth of a vagina is about 3.77 inches, which is 9.6 centimeters (cm). Other sources suggest that the average range of size may be about 3 to 7 inches (approximately 7.6–17.7 cm)
However, these variations in size are not usually apparent, even to a sexual partner.
Size and appearance of the vagina
The depth of the vagina is measured from the opening of the vagina to the tip of the cervix, which opens into the uterus.
A report in the BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology said that the average depth of the vagina is about 3.77 inches (9.6 cm), but that vaginal depth and appearance can vary widely.
In fact, the depth of the vagina (from the opening to the tip of the cervix) can measure anywhere up to 7 inches (17.7 cm).
The vagina is the canal to the cervix, which separates the uterus and the vagina.
Several types of tissue line the inside of the vagina, including the mucosa. The mucosa is made up of specialized cells that secrete a lubricating fluid, which helps the vaginal walls to stretch.
The exterior portion of the female genitals is the vulva. The vulva includes the labia minora and majora — the lip-like parts of the female genitals.
The appearance of vulvas varies widely. The skin may be the same color or darker than the rest of the body. The labia majora, which are the external "lips," can vary from around 2.7 to 4.7 inches (7 to 12 cm) in length.
The clitoris ranges from about 0.1 to 1.3 inches (5 to 35 mm) in size but swells and enlarges if a woman is aroused.
What affects vaginal size?
The vagina's size and depth changes in certain situations. It can stretch to accommodate the insertion of a tampon, a finger, or a penis.
During arousal, more blood flows to the vagina. This causes the vagina to elongate and the cervix, or tip of the uterus, to lift up slightly, allowing more of a penis, finger, or sex toy to fit in the vagina.
While a vagina expands during arousal, a large penis or sex toy can still cause discomfort when having sex.
How does the vagina change over time?
Studies have not found a difference in vaginal length in women who have given birth and those who have not.
The vagina will not change in appearance, as it is internal. In fact, research has found no link between the depth of a person's vagina and their age.
However, the labia may appear smaller over time. This is because the amount of estrogen in the body decreases with age, which can reduce fat and collagen.
The genitals may also appear to change color, becoming lighter or darker with hormonal changes over time.
Some women may find that their vagina feels different following childbirth. While the tissues in the vagina do stretch to accommodate a baby, this is not permanent.
Research has found no difference in vaginal length between women who had given birth and those who had not.
If a person thinks their vagina feels different after childbirth, a doctor may recommend Kegel exercises, which involve squeezing and releasing the muscles used to control urination to help strengthen the pelvic floor.
The average erect penis is about 33 percent longer than the average vagina. While both penis and vagina sizes can vary, these organs can usually accommodate each other.
A 2015 study found the average erect penis length to be just over 5 inches (13.12 cm). Some women may report discomfort if their sexual partner has a penis that is larger than average.
It may be painful or uncomfortable if an object such as a penis or sex toy hits the cervix. Having adequate lubrication and communicating any discomfort to a partner can help keep sexual activity pleasurable.
Changing pads and tampons frequently will help to keep the vagina healthy.
Tips for keeping the vagina healthy include:
avoiding douching or using highly fragranced bath products, tampons, or feminine hygiene sprays
changing out of wet clothing and swimsuits as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of infection
changing pads and tampons frequently
using protection during sexual activity
refraining from wearing clothing that is too tight, which can contribute to irritation and excess sweat
urinating after sex to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs)
The depth and appearance of vaginas vary greatly between individuals. Usually, the depth of the vagina is between 3 and 7 inches.

INJURIES AND SUSPENSIONS DEPLETE ALBION SQUAD
BURTON Albion's squad will be severely depleted for the visit of Brighton on Saturday.
Injuries and suspensions have hit the Brewers hard and Nigel Clough admits that he will be struggling for numbers.
Kyle McFadzean will be on the sidelines – notching up the second game in his three-match ban. Ben Turner is also suspended after picking up a fifth booking against Fulham on Tuesday.
Tom Flanagan, Lucas Akins Stuart Beavon, skipper John Mousinho and Damien McCrory are all carrying injuries. Chris O'Grady can't play as he's on-loan from Brighton.
Clough said: "I'm not sure we can even name 18 on Saturday – we might struggle to get seven subs out there. We are hopeful one or two players might be back.
"We had a depleted squad at Fulham but have now lost Ben Turner and Stuart Beavon picked up a knock and Damien McCrory came off injured so it will be a test on Saturday.
"Tom Flanagan is closer than John Mousinho but there's fair chance both will be out. We might have to revert to a back four again, depending on the personnel available.
"Lucas felt his hamstring at Wolves. You have to be very careful with these things.
"What we will do is try and get a team out to compete - as always."


Mojiang Northern Tropic Mark Park (hereinafter referred to as the Park) is located in the west of Mojiang County and on the east of Mojiang section of the Kunming-Bangkok Thoroughfare. It is a site that people must pass through from Kunming to Xishuangbanna and to Pu'er. With its tourism resources such as unique astronomy, geography, landscape, landscaping, sculpture and folk culture, the Park is distinguished from other tourist sites on the west line from Kunming to Pu'er, and has become a bright pearl on the tourist lines of southern Yunnan and even South East Asia. Now, the Park is also a National AAA Level Scenic Spot, known as the "First Scenic Spot by Kunming-Bangkok Thoroughfare".
As the provincial patriotism education base and astronomical science popularization education base, it is currently the largest Northern Tropic Park with the richest content in the world. The Northern Tropic is the central axis of the scenic spot, which consists of 15 attractions, and the astronomical science telescope with the largest diameter in Yunnan known as "Number One Telescope in Southern Yunnan" is also located in the Park.
The Northern Tropic, like a magic ribbon, happens to circle around the golden ratio point on the Earth's axis at 23° 26' north latitude. Depending on the magic Northern Tropic, Mojiang has created the mysterious "twin phenomenon", and tells the miracle story of twins under the combined effect of the Northern Tropic magnetic field and the magic water in the twin well in a unique way. On the summer solstice each year, the astronomical wonder that "a pole casts no shadow though it is set up" will appear at the Park, so it is also poetically called "the place where the sun turns around"!
Welcome to Mojiang Northern Tropic Mark Park. Here you can experience the tropic culture, taste Hani food and explore the secret of twins!

What is the sample volume of the 3000TA analyzer (with no cal valves) ?
Why am I getting error messages while zeroing the 3000T instrument?
What is the maximum resistance that can be used in series with the 4-20mA output (isolated) on the 3000 models?
What is the maximum resistance that can be used in series with the 4-20mA output (isolated) on the 3190 and 3290 models?
What is the power consumption for the Model 3020T?
How do I cold start a 3000 series instrument?
Can you recommend a manufacturer and model for a 0.5 micron filter?
I am getting a Preamp 2 fault message on my Model 3000PA. What does that mean?
What do the error codes mean for the 3000 series?
How do I reset the password on my 3000 if I have forgotten the old one?
For the 3000PA / PB and 3000TA / TB, please clarify for each exactly what conditions will cause the system alarm to activate.
What is the procedure for connecting a PC to the Model 3000T?
For the 3000TA, what is the exact format of the RS-232 message?
What material is used in oxygen scrubbers?
What is the size of the orifice in each of the restrictors on the 3000TB?
Recently we installed a new B-2C cell in our analyzer, and now we are experiencing problems.
We obtain erroneous readings, under zero or off-scale (like a negative concentration of oxygen). Then, after a few hours, it starts to read, but suddenly goes off-scale again. This is a cycle.
We are purging the analyzer continuously with nitrogen (N2: 99.999, O2<2ppm), and using a sampling manifold. We feed natural gas with a 2.60%mol of CO2 to the analyzer. We measure oxygen content in natural gas.
Should we use another class of cell?
When we lose A/C power to our location (it is a remote pipeline site) can we set up the analyzer to come back up in the correct range (fixed LO Range 0-5 ppm) and with the same calibration settings? Or could this be accessed by the RS232 port remotely to reset the analyzer?
How do I replace the membrane keypad on my 3000TA?
We are installing an oxygen analyzer (ppm O2 in N2 and Argon). The analyzer will be 150m away from the process connected by tubing. Will it work correctly despite the distance?
What is the expected Hysteresis effect on the Alarm Setpoints and Alarm Reset?
Example: With Alarm Setpoint as 0.65%, the alarm is activated and resets at 0.55% with the difference of 0.1%.
What is the resistance of the Micro-fuel Cell adapter thermistor at 25 Deg C. Is it 10 K or 16 K ohms?
Regarding my 3000TB, the D/A converter for the 4-20mA output needs calibration. At a reading of 10 ppm gas, 1% of a 1000 ppm scale, the local display reads 10 ppm but the mA reading is 4.24 mA. It should be 4.16 mA. What do I do?
Where can I find the 4-20 mA output modules on the computer motherboard?
We are servicing a 3000P analyzer and have found the sample inlet fitting at the rear of the instrument contains a small sintered filter that is blocked. What part is this?
Do you have technical specifications for pneumatic valves from Nupro-Swagelok?
When the 3020 and 2020 analyzers go into calibration mode, what happens to 4-20 output? Does it freeze at the last reading?
What is the spike period for the 3000T?
How do atmospheric conditions impact O2 sensor readings?
Do you have a replacement part number for the key pad with the buttons mounted on the board?
I purchased a new sensor for my 3000MB due the existing one having been damaged due to liquid intrusion. I would like to know if you have instructions available for replacing this sensor?
How do you remove the rear-panel accessing board on the 3000 unit?
On the 3000PB, what parameters contribute to the System Failure Alarm?
On the 3000PB, is there a way of detecting Cell Failure that can be tied into an alarm?
On the 3000PB, do you have information on Cell failure (MTBF)?
How do you install a probe hold-down clamp for the 3000PB?
I am running some tests on a 3000ZA unit. It calibrates OK on the 0-100ppm range but when we go to the 0-100% range and apply air it reads 99.99%. If I try to cal on 20.9% the unit just says out of range. Can this only be calibrated on 80% plus O2 gas?
I have a heater or heater circuit failure on a 3000TB. What parts do I need to buy to fix it?
How does the heater circuit work in the 3000TB, when the AC power is 110 or 220V?
Can I block the inlet and outlet of a unit purged with nitrogen to prevent oxygen contamination?
My Analyzer is set up for the B1 sensor, can I use the A5 instead without making any hardware changes?
3000TA has a sample volume of 1.65 inches cubed.
When the 3000T enters zero mode, the instrument constantly checks whether the amplifier has dropped to the 0-10 PPM gain, the highest gain. In the AUTO mode, it will not zero the instrument until reaching this gain.
And the instrument will continue in zero mode. Thus the operator must wait until the reading drops further. If the analyzer reads less than 10 PPM, the analyzer will accept the zero.
"CELL FAIL / ZERO HIGH"
And the system alarm will close to indicate the analyzer senses the cell output, although less than 10 PPM, has not dropped as far as possible. A good zero level is a reading of less than 5 PPM.
Did the sensor need more time to stay on "zero" gas to drop to a reasonable level?
Is the zero gas acceptably pure?
Is there a leak in the system that does not let the sensor drop further?
When the sensor is old, the offset of the cell becomes larger, making the cell sluggish when lowering to a zero reading. If this is the case, replace the cell.
The only way to cancel an error message is to turn the instrument off and back on again. Press the Escape key on a standard 3000T or 3010T, or the Enter key on the 3020T to return to a previous calibration. Remember the instrument did accept the zero. The system alarm will reset too. You can keep working with this zero calibration if you prefer, but Teledyne recommends considering the above trouble-shooting questions.
The maximum resistance is 1.0k Ohms.
The maximum resistance is 500 Ohms.
The power consumption is 150 watts.
Cold start procedures can be found here.
We recommend Swagelok / Nupro part number SS-4F-05.
The failure code Preamp 2 indicates there is a problem with either the thermistor or the pre-amp board in the instrument. A troubleshooting procedure for this issue can be found by downloading this PDF file.
The only way to reset the password is to do a cold start. This will reset everything else too.
- Turn the instrument off and then back on.
- During the introduction screen, press the System key for factory defaults.
- Recalibrate, and check range and alarm setup.
A failure during an operator initiated self test will trigger the alarm.
The instrument checks the power supply every 10 minutes. If the power supply voltages go out of specification, that will trigger the alarm.
If the sensor zero offset is too high ( >5ppm O2 approx.) after the zero function, it will trigger the alarm.
A failure to span due to the sensor output being too low will trigger the alarm.
This procedure can be found by downloading this PDF file.
It will send nothing while the instrument is in self-diagnostic mode, collecting electronic zeroes, while in the span mode, and while on the zero mode.
2. 0.00 is the oxygen concentration.
4. RA means the instrument is set to auto ranging \ RF means the instrument is set in a specific range of interest. The range the instrument is on follows: LO, MED, HI, or CAL.
7. Carriage return is at the very end to start a new line.
The scrubber material is Copper Oxide and Aluminum Oxide catalyst.
The B-2C sensor will not work for high CO2 levels. This will damage the sensor. You should use an A-2C sensor and purge the unit at all times with a similar level of CO2 when not in use.
The analyzer is already designed to do just that. After a power loss the instrument will retain the previous settings, unless someone physically switches the unit to return to factory default settings.
When power is returned to the analyzer, the analyzer will automatically do a self diagnostics, and will give you the option to either turn switch to 'Enter' position keep the previous settings, or to turn the switch to the 'Escape' position to return to the factory default settings.
After one minute and no choice is made, the analyzer will automatically return to the previous settings that you had selected in the set-up mode.
So no action is required from you. To keep your all previous settings, including your (fixed Low range 0-5ppm), and the calibration span gas value setting.
A short power interruption will not affect the calibration. however, if the power loss is long-term, or if the sensor is old, the output may have drifted and re-calibration would be required. Periodic recalibration is part of normal maintenance of the analyzer.
The membrane keypad can be replaced by first removing the lock retainer and then the lock assembly. Peeling off the old membrane, and clean off the glue from the surface before installing the new membrane keypad. Care must be taken when installing the new membrane. make sure it is aligned properly before it is sticking it to the surface, as it will be damaged if lifted again.
P/N D76672 is the keypad.
P/N B76673A is the 3000T ID label, to be installed on the keypad.
The easier solution is to replace the complete door assembly, which is ready for installation. This complete door assembly (P/N C66285A) also includes a new display pc board assembly.
A 150 meter run for a sampling line won't be an issue provided that 1) line execution is done with internal corrosion free material (stainless steel is recommended, plastics must be avoided), 2) high quality fittings are used, and 3) there are no multiple moisture accumulation points.
If the line cannot be installed with a single slope with the bottom point at the process tap, then one single bottom point should defined at any position along the line run. At this bottom point a water purging valve should be installed.
The only problem related to distance is the lag time from sample take off to actual analysis.
When analyzing O2, N2 or Ar in liquid storage tanks, lag time is not a problem. However, if the measuring is done for process control purposes, the purging flow may need to be increased for speedier measurement. In such a case our Teledyne InstaTrans transmitter is recommended, and a 4-20 mA line instead a gas sampling line is required.
The code includes a 0.1% O2 hysteresis for alarms -- that is, the alarm will be set at the threshold.
The alarm will be cleared at 0.1% O2 below the threshold for a HI alarm.
The alarm will be cleared at 0.1% O2 above the threshold for a LO alarm.
The thermistor in the cellbock assembly for 3000 series analyzers is 16k ohm at 25 Deg. C.
There is no adjustment possible on this unit. Instead, th ere is a offset error up to one percent of range between the display and the analog output.
If you are running at 10ppm concentration, consider programming a lower range from analysis (say from 1000 to 100ppm or less), so the analog output error due to offset would go from 10ppm to 1ppm.
as a separate circuit board mounted on the top.
That would be the flow restrictor. Replace it with P/N R2324 (install at inlet).
The restrictors are also included with the restrictor Kit p/n A68729. Refer to Appendix page A-7 in the 3000PA instruction manual.
For 3020T, 3020P, and 2020 the analog output tracks when the analyzer enters calibration.
There are the two options for replacement of bad keypad.
1) For just the keypad replacement, order P/N D76672A (membrane keypad), and 3000TA label p/n B76673A.
2) The complete door assembly (including display board) for a model 3000TA is p/n C66285A.
To replace the sensor only new nuts and ferrules are required.
The sensor is located behind the swing out door.
The sensor is item 1.
The mounting bracket is item 14.
The mounting plate it item 4.
There are four rubber vibration damping mounts Item 13.
Remove the sample lines by disconnecting the unions item 30.
Remove the retaining screws for item 14 (items 16 & 17).
Remove the 15 pin D-sub wiring cable from the side of the sensor.
Remover the sensor from the mounting plate item 4 by removing the two mounting screws.
Note, new nuts and ferrules on must be installed on the sensor. This should be done prior to installation.
When installing the nuts and ferrules be careful not to loosen the connection on the sensor to prevent leaks Install the new sensor by reversion the above process. When connecting the sample lines, do not allow the sensors gas connections to rotate.
Flow N2 or O2 gas through the unit for 24 hours and adjust the zero and span pots as described in the users manual.
then the system alarm is actuated.
Also, every 10 minutes or so, the 5V and 15V power supplies are tested, if they get an error then the system alarm is actuated.
The only way to clear the system alarm is to restart the analyzer.
In a micro fuel cell sensor for Percent O2, one mode of failure is the signal drops out when the lead anode is fully depleted (as happens in a battery also). So one can detect this condition by setting a low O2 alarm. However, if your process you are monitoring has no O2, or very little, this approach may not be useful. This can be programmed in the field by the user. The loss of signal is not the only failure mode, however. Others are possible, depending on the application and types of gases present, if there is water or other condensibles, etc.
No, we do not publish an MTBF number on the sensors. In clean, dry inert gas applications, at room temps, the sensors will typically last from 6 months to a year in service, but since the lifetime is heaviliy application dependent, it has been difficult for us to publish this type of statistic that could be used in a SIL calculation. We have many users in the petrochem industries that use them in very nasty applications, in which cell life is short just do to the chemical exposure, and temperatures, etc.
These are the parts needed to install a probe hold-down clamp.
The mounting pad with the two spacer is to be installed under the receptacle, and the clamp is held over the probe by two #6 x 32 screws into the threaded spacers.
Each sensor need to calibrate independently so You need to select which sensor You are calibrate, i.e.: Low, Med or Hi.
The message during calibration means that the output of the sensor is too high, the amplifier is out of scale. This is strange, since you have a 0-96% sensor and you are feeding air. That is pointing to the sensor being bad because it has too much output or the amplifier being bad by having wrong voltages applied to the sensor.
You will have to remove the back panel of the analyzer to have access to the amplifier.
Use DVM to measure the sensor heater voltage, keep black lead at TP5, then move red lead to Q6-pin 3 (the left lead when looking from the backpanel), it should measure 3.6 vdc +/- 0.2 vdc.
If these voltages are Ok, the sensor needs to be replaced, if not, probably the amplifier board. The problem is, if the amplifier is applying voltages that are too high, the sensor may be damage as a result, so it would advisable to replace both.
Please see the attached print for parts and Teledyne part numbers.
The unit is not designed to hold a low oxygen reading with no flow. Without flow, ambient O2 will leak in and cause the reading to rise. Special versions of the unit equipped with isolation valves are available.

Caesalpinia decapetala - (Roth.)Alston.
Common Name Mysore Thorn, Shoofly
Family Fabaceae or Leguminosae
USDA hardiness 7-10
Habitats Hedges and open bushy places[146]. Swampy localities and ravines to 1800 metres[158].
Range E. Asia - Himalayas to China.
Weed Potential Yes
http://www.hear.org/starr/
Caesalpinia decapetala is a deciduous Shrub growing to 3 m (9ft 10in).
It is hardy to zone (UK) 8. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by Insects.
It can fix Nitrogen.
Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and prefers well-drained soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils and can grow in very alkaline soils.
It cannot grow in the shade. It prefers moist soil.
C. sepiaria. Roxb.
Woodland Garden Sunny Edge; Dappled Shade; Hedge;
Anthelmintic Antiperiodic Astringent Emmenagogue Febrifuge Laxative Purgative
Anthelmintic, antiperiodic, astringent, febrifuge[158, 178]. The leaves are emmenagogue and laxative[240, 243]. They are applied externally to burns[240, 243]. The root is purgative[240, 243].
Hedge Hedge Tannin Wood
The bark is a rich source of tannin[158, 272]. Plants are often grown as field boundaries in Nepal[272]. An excellent hedge plant[240]. However, due to its doubtful hardiness it is not a good candidate for this use in Britain. Wood - moderately hard[146]. Environmental Uses include: Agroforestry; Boundary, barrier or support; Soil improvement. It is used as an Ornamental.
Hedge Hedge Nitrogen Fixer
Requires a sunny position[11], succeeding in any moderately fertile well-drained soil[200] including limy soils[182]. This species is on the borderline of hardiness in Britain. However, C. japonica, which is considered to be no more than a variety of this species by many botanists, succeeds on a wall at Wisley to the west of London and is said to be hardy to about -10°c[184]. Its natural range is Japan where it grows at heights up to 2000 metres on rocky mountain slopes in the cooler regions of the country[11, 200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria, these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby[200]. It has a special soil tolerance for shallow soils.
Seed - pre-soak for 12 - 24 hours in warm water and sow in a greenhouse in early spring[200]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter, planting them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Softwood cuttings in sand in a frame[200].

From Google Ventures to GV
New Visual Identity & Website
gv.com
Because of the Alphabet reorganization Google Ventures was no longer a part of Google and needed a new name, visual identity and positioning. Google Ventures was to become GV. This new identity needed to be clearly differentiated from Google but at the same time evoke and communicate the long and still ongoing connection with Google.
The foundation of the new GV identity is based on the colors of GV's portfolio companies as well as a slimmer version of the Google G. The V in the logo is created by a negative space between the cut G and the slash-like image. The slash is a metaphor for the intersection between Google and the portfolio companies which is what makes GV what it is today. This metaphor echoes throughout the whole application of the visual identity with large slashes as layout elements & multiple color patterns based on brand colors from portfolio companies. Even the GV website has a unique layout system and color themes based on this metaphor.
"The slash" symbolizes the intersection between investor and investment. Without each other neither would exist. The slash can be used in many different ways. As a super graphic on it's own but more commonly as a pattern with colors. Large slashes can also be used to crop images and create grids for layouts.
"It's the sharpest and best looking logo in Googles history"
- The verge
If you are reading this, it is because your browser does not support the HTML5 video element.
GV doesn't have its own brand color palette. Conceptually, GV exists because and for its portfolio companies. Therefore the GV visual identity has multiple color palettes derived from all of the portfolio companies. The color palettes have specific orders to them to form patterns.
GV + Company
When the GV brand is combined with a specific portfolio company the color palette changes to that specific company.
The new visual identity informed more than just what the eye can see. We created a unique diagonal grid out of the slashes which guides all of the layouts. This even made it into the code of the website it self.

Out of the Grey è il terzo album della band statunitense The Dream Syndicate, pubblicato nel 1986.

Il Disco
A due anni di distanza dal precedente Medicine Show, nel 1986 esce Out of the Grey, dopo l'ennesimo cambio di formazione e di etichetta discografica, dalla A&M alla Big Time Records. Steve Wynn e Dennis Duck sono i soli rimasti della line-up iniziale. Mark Walton al basso ed il produttore Paul B. Cutler alla chitarra solista completano l'organico. Il sound si fa meno aspro ma anche più maturo grazie all'apporto di Cutler ed il disco viene promosso per la prima volta da una tournée europea che tocca anche l'Italia. Boston è diventato un cavallo di battaglia nei concerti di Steve Wynn.
