Yes. compassion. Humanity could do with more of that.
Welcome to my Blog Sanjana. That is precisely my point. So much is random chance anyway, so there is nothing wrong about trying to improve the situation for those who where less lucky in the lottery of life.
I agree. Many Indians protest vehemently against reservations for scheduled castes and tribes, while still refusing to eat food cooked by someone belonging to these caste, or letting them enter Hindu temples.
Your post really struck a chord with me – and it's a big debate point here with US elections coming up.

Homeless alcoholics can't just quit
Managing alcohol addiction, including free drinks, has worked wonders — and shows why we must treat addictions equally
Every day, in the shadow of Parliament Hill, 30 homeless alcoholics are fed, housed and served drinks, each hour on the hour, between early morning and evening.
That this "managed alcohol" program run by Ottawa's Inner City Health Inc. in the ByWard Market, is effective, is beyond dispute. For one thing, it has saved the local health-care system in the neighbourhood of $3.5 million by reducing or eliminating its clients' frequent visits to hospital emergency rooms. For another, it has dramatically improved the quality of life for a group of people many would view as beyond hope.
What is remarkable is not so much that the program works, but that it is able to run relatively free of major controversy or political interference. Substitute 30 crack addicts for the homeless alcoholics, and it would be a different story.
In a country where harm reduction is frequently a lightning rod for controversy — whether the issue is free crack pipes or a safe injection site — we have a successful harm-reduction program flourishing in the nation's capital. That's a good thing, perhaps a remarkable thing, but it's too bad we can't extend its creativity to another group also in need of harm reduction — drug addicts.
It may seem counterintuitive to give addicts what is making them sick, but the Inner City Health program demonstrates it can help them live healthier, happier and less disruptive lives. Despite the fact that they are kept "buzzed" all day as a Citizen reporter put it, they are actually drinking less — maybe two-thirds less — than they would have been on the street. They can't panhandle while on the program and must meet strict requirements, which they agree to. And the fact is many homeless alcoholics can't quit. The best that can be done is to manage their addiction.
And that is quite a lot. Managed alcohol serves both its clients and society extremely well. Which makes the question of whether they should quit irrelevant.
Wendy Muckle, a registered nurse who is executive director of Ottawa Inner City Health says addicts have a chronic illness. Helping them learn how to manage their illnesses, she says, is often the only intervention that is effective.
"You get politicians who are basically saying 'These people need to pull up their socks and get cured,' when these people have chronic diseases. It is as stupid as saying a diabetic needs to pull up his socks.
"I think we have to figure out humane and safe ways to support people when they are in difficult periods of their lives, encouraging them to maintain a place in mainstream society."
Unlike the managed alcohol program, Vancouver's supervised injection site, Insite, exists under the constant threat of closure from those whose ideology tells them it should not exist.
But what is the difference between a program that reduces harm for addicted alcoholics and one that attempts to reduce harm for addicted drug addicts? Yes, alcohol is legal and heroin is not, but the amount of damage each substance can do to lives doesn't discriminate between legality and illegality.
In fact Muckle says her view of which drug does the most harm has completely turned around. "Before I started this job, I would have said crack cocaine was the most harmful drug available. I now have to say it is alcohol."
Programs such as Inner City Health can come up with creative solutions to work with alcoholics, but it is much harder and much more political with drug addicts. Muckle says she would love to have a similar program for crack and heroin addicts, if she could. In fact, she believes such an intensive program would not be necessary for most drug addicts.
A safe injection site, she said, would be a "kind of a beginning." From there, a lot more could be done for that population. Something that would have a huge impact is housing.
Many people think residential treatment is the only option for drug addicts. Muckle disagrees. "We have to change the assumptions and provide other kinds of help than we do." For some, residential treatment programs will be entirely ineffective, she says, mainly because they don't last long enough to make a real difference. A long, slow process that includes group therapy, harm reduction programs and some place to live, would have a better chance of succeeding.

to deeply enjoy that finally everything is out of control.
EIGHT brings harmony and resonance. This dynamic expresses the highest power of realization the wave has to offer. Full speed ahead! No ideal time for vacation.
Take care: behind struggle and resistance surprising awareness can hide!
In these 365 days you experience your highest strength of realization and maximum support for your plans. You now have thought enough, out balanced, felt and noticed. Expect from now on many resonances from the outer world as well as ultimate possibilities. If you are clear with yourself, all activities will have a penetrating power. After refilling last year it says now "full speed ahead". No ideal time for vacation.


When you're hot, people want what you got.
Enda Walsh's new play BALLYTURK, which opens this summer at Ireland's Galway International Arts Festival with a who's who of Irish theatre onboard, has sold out.
That's not bad work considering the festival doesn't even start until July 14. In GAIF history, a few other shows have sold out before the festival opens, but BALLYTURK sets a new mark for the earliest sell out ever.
And if you are one of the lucky few with a ticket? Prepare for one of the events of the year in the English language theatre world.
Gone, daddy, gone. The tickets, that is.
Imagine a place where you can sea kayak, hill climb, cycle, and trail run in one of the most beautiful landscapes on earth by day and see world class theatre, music, and performance art in an international European town by night.
That place is Galway City and Connemara on Ireland's west coast.
The Galway Arts Festival, one of the mainstays of Europe's annual arts calendar, announced its full 2013 programme today. Always a highlight of the year in Ireland, the festival runs July 15-28 and features artists from around the world.
Theatre is front and center at GAF. Though it is a small town the size of Bend, Oregon clinging to the windswept west coast of Europe's far western edge, Galway features a year round theatre scene on a par with many world capitals. And even by Galway standards the annual festival is impressive. It may not be easy to get there, but once you arrive on the wild and wooly North Atlantic shores, the cultural and natural offerings are simply stunning.
Theatre highlights this year include a chance to see legendary Irish artist Olwen Fouéré and her company The Emergency Room perform RIVERRUN, a new production of Mark O'Rowe hit HOWIE THE ROOKIE, and the touring sensation from South Africa, MIES JULIE. In all, there are 11 theatre and dance shows on offer in 2013.
You can't count on the weather. But the theatre is usually pretty reliable.

Featuring a new range of high-quality, handcrafted yet affordable cymbals developed for a wide range of modern drummers, the TRX Cymbal Co. is proud to introduce CRX Cymbals. The exclusive series includes a full selection of Ride, Hi-Hat, Crash and Effects cymbals in three different tonal/performance categories: Classic, Rock and Xtreme. And, since CRX Cymbals are created from B20 bronze, all three series will sound great in any combination or musical situation.
"Our goal with CRX was to maintain the dark, medium, bright sonic spectrum along with the quality and consistency that remain the foundation of TRX but to do so at a more accessible price point," explains TRX President David Levine. "While TRX Cymbals will continue to be the choice of many of today's top professionals, we are confident that the sound and performance of CRX Cymbals will more than meet the needs of young drummers and part-time players."


From Bryan Talbot, who just released the second chapter of his Steampunk, 'funny animal', Holmesian mystery adventure 'Grandville Mon Amour', which I'll be reviewing soon.
This delightful interpretation of Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol comes from Alice in Sunderland, a compulsively fascinating work of geographical history merged with fiction much like Alan Moore's experiments in From Hell and Voice of Fire to create a four dimensional architecture to a sense of place. Moore did it in From Hell to London and with his home town of Northampton in Voice of Fire, Talbot does it for his hometown of Sunderland with a special emphasis on Sunderland native son Lewis Carrol.
And here's Terry Gilliam's take, a grittier, more medieval interpretation. It's long, but try to stick with it to the introduction of the Jabberwocky himself, the giant puppetry prototypes of the practical effect monstrosities of Gilliam's dystopian classic Brazil. I know that by every objective standard the flashy CGI Jabberwocky of Tim Burton's Alice is more impressive but this creaky giant puppet made of wood and fabric fills me with joy.

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) uses Technical Expert Panels (TEPs) to develop quality measures. The TEPs are a multistakeholder group composed of physicians, policy experts, patients, and other health care providers. The CMS has used TEPs to define quality measures for dialysis facilities.
In April 2015, the ESKD Access to Kidney Transplantation TEP was formed and convened at a meeting in Baltimore, Maryland (1). The TEP was formed with the goal of applying available evidence and the group's experience in providing recommendations to the University of Michigan Kidney Epidemiology Cost Center on quality measures, assessment of current quality measures, and identification of gaps in access to kidney transplantation. Members of this TEP included physicians, policy experts, patients, and other health care providers.
Although the TEP meeting did not result in measure specifications, the discussion centered on five areas.
Eventually, two measure recommendations were made to the National Quality Forum (NQF).
Percent of prevalent patients waitlisted (PPPW) tracks the percentage of patients at each dialysis facility who were on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waitlist. Results are averaged across patients prevalent on the last day of each month during the reporting year.
Standardized waitlist ratio is a measure that tracks the number of incident patients at the dialysis facility under the age of 75 years old listed on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waitlist or who received living donor transplants within the first year of initiating dialysis.
To date, the two recommendations have not been submitted to the NQF.
In this issue of the Clinical Journal of American Society of Nephrology, Patzer and coworkers (2) present a risk-adjusted quality metric, standardized transplantation referral ratio (STReR), to evaluate dialysis facility performance. The introduction of this measure is partially on the basis of the wide variation in transplant referral in Georgia and should provide dialysis facility accountability. Performance is measured on a regional basis, the state of Georgia, with similar patient case mix. Performance comparisons were limited to Georgia, because national transplant referrals are not collected.
The STReR measure compares the observed number of kidney transplant referrals among patients with incident ESKD within a facility (numerator) with an expected number of patients with ESKD in Georgia adjusted for the patient case mix in that facility (denominator). The outcome measure is the risk-adjusted dialysis facility count of adult patients on dialysis referred for a kidney transplant. Facilities with fewer than five patients with incident ESKD were excluded for referral measurement.
The study measured the performance of 249 Georgia dialysis facilities. The majority of the dialysis facilities (77%) had expected transplant referrals. The study was rounded out, with 11% of the facilities having greater than expected referrals, whereas 12% had less than expected referrals. Because information on referral for kidney transplantation is not collected on a national basis, the measured performance is limited to Georgia. Patzer and coworkers (2) are conducting similar studies in other states.
The most striking aspect of this study was learning that kidney transplant referrals are not collected nationally. Because a kidney transplant has been established as a superior treatment versus dialysis, I was stunned. In addition, I learned that a CMS expert panel recommended kidney transplant referrals as a quality metric in 2005 (3). On the basis of that recommendation, there have not been any requirements to track referral data. This lack of national data collection was identified by the April 2015 TEP as a reason to not recommend referral for a kidney transplantation as quality metric.
The absence of national referral data calls into question the overall aim for the CMS ESKD program. On the basis of 2015 Medicare data, there is a significant economic difference between per person per year (PPPY) ESKD dialysis costs and kidney transplantation. In 2015, hemodialysis was $88,750 PPPY; peritoneal dialysis was $75,140, and kidney transplantation was $34,084 PPPY (4). Solely on the basis of economic considerations, it would seem that the CMS would have interest in understanding kidney transplant referrals.
Like other members in the transplant community, I am requesting that the CMS mandate that all dialysis facilities collect and record kidney transplant referrals. I am making this request for several reasons. First, I think that this action would clarify the intentions of the CMS ESKD system to all stakeholders. Second, I hope that it would stimulate research into understanding the effectiveness of patient education on the different modalities for ESKD. Moreover, I would expect that research would be applied to understanding the risk-benefit discussions on modalities for kidney failure. I believe that the absence of these patient conversations has contributed to the discard of 1000 kidneys that could be viable for kidney transplants (5). Third, it would place greater accountability on dialysis facilities. Ultimately, the value of this data collection may be system-wide assessment and evaluation of patient-provider communication in the CMS ESKD system.
Patients with ESKD would be better served with a quality measure other than PPPW. For starters, the term "waitlisted" has such a passive connotation. In my mind, it continues to reinforce the low expectations that patients with ESKD have accepted. Considering that only 13% of patients with ESKD are referred to the waitlist, this measure does not seem to be serving the best interests of patients. The patient community needs to activate their voice and ask for a better quality measure.
The STReR may be a good quality metric to replace the recommended PPPW. After the ongoing studies by Patzer and coworkers (2) are completed, there may be additional information on the validity and reliability of the STReR quality measure. It will be very interesting to learn about referral rates other than those in Georgia. I anticipate that the additional state data will further the case of STReR as a quality measure and my support of it as well.
While we wait for the studies to be completed and published, I am recommending immediate action. I am requesting that the CMS mandate that all dialysis facilities collect and record their kidney transplant referrals. This requirement is long overdue and will serve to clarify the priorities and intentions of the CMS ESKD system. Additionally, it will serve as the foundation for future research to assess and evaluate patient-provider patient communications across the continuum of kidney disease.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - A month after being widely criticized for revealing she has diabetes - as well as a lucrative endorsement deal for a drug to treat it - Paula Deen says she's ready to show a lighter side to her famously fatty Southern-style cooking.
Just don't expect her to swear off butter.
"I am who I am. But what I will be doing is offering up lighter versions of my recipes," the longtime Food Network star told The Associated Press during an interview at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival on Friday.
"I will have a broader platform now, trying to do something for everybody," she said. "But you know, I'm Southern by roots. I was taught (to cook) by my grandmother and nothing I can do would change that."
Food Network General Manager and Senior Vice President Bob Tuschman says the network is open to working with Deen to shape her show's future. "The discussions for what that could look like are just getting under way," he said.
The Food Network did not immediately respond to questions regarding Deen's new approach or whether it was involved in the decision.
But the harshest criticism was triggered by her simultaneous announcement that she also would be a paid pitch person for drugmaker Novo Nordisk's new online program, Diabetes in a New Light, and for its pricy drug, Victoza, which she takes.
"Yes, I am being compensated," she said Friday. "It's the way of the world. It's the American way. But I am taking a portion of that compensation and giving it back to the (American) Diabetes Association."
"It took me 20 years to come out and stand up and say, 'Hey, my name's Paula and I'm agoraphobic,'" she said. "I was so ashamed, so embarrassed. So to do it in two-and-a-half years, I thought it was pretty good."
"I think a few people who have access to a TV camera and ink kind of wanted to hate on me for coming down with something," she said. "But I so don't worry about it."
Deen lives in Savannah, Ga., where she ran a successful catering business, wrote a best-selling cookbook and opened an acclaimed restaurant, The Lady & Sons, before launching "Paula's Home Cooking" on the Food Network in 1999. She won a Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Lifestyle Host in 2007, and has branched out to cookware, foods and furniture bearing her name.
But Deen notes that food is only one piece of the diabetes puzzle - along with genetics, lifestyle, age and race - and emphasizes that she doesn't eat like that every day.
Following her announcement last month, Deen said she had stopped drinking the sweet tea she used to sip all day and had taken up treadmill walking. On Friday, she told NBC's "Today" show that she has been eating less and exercising more.
Deen also has been promoting her son's take on healthy eating, Food Network's "Not My Mama's Meals," which stars Bobby Dean making lighter versions of his mother's recipes.
Though Deen said she last month wasn't planning to change her approach to on-air cooking, on Friday she said that when she begins shooting new episodes of her show this spring, the recipes will offer something for everyone, including people who want healthier recipes.

Obama Book Reflects on Russia's World Status – and RT Distorts What It Says
William Echols
Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) talks to U.S. President Barack Obama (R) during a meeting at the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, China on September 5, 2016.
Russian state broadcaster
"If it wants to be taken seriously on the world stage, Russia should take a leaf out of Washington's book and deploy more of its soldiers in other countries. That's according to former U.S. President Barack Obama."
Source: RT
On November 17, the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama, released his memoir, "A Promised Land."
Obama has promoted the book as "an honest accounting of my presidential campaign and my time in office," covering a wide range of issues, from the global financial crisis that confronted him in 2008 to his controversial escalation of the U.S. drone program.
A member of a security detail keeps watch as President Barack Obama and Chancellor Angela Merkel meet in the German Chancellery in Berlin, Germany on November 17, 2016.
Regarding foreign affairs, Obama took aim at Russian President Vladimir Putin. He said Putin had become "sharply critical of American policy," and that "when U.S.-backed initiatives came before the U.N. Security Council, [Putin] made sure Russia blocked them or watered them down — particularly anything touching on human rights."
Obama's book is unsparing toward Putin, calling him a "physically unremarkable man" who, "with the fastidiousness of a teenager on Instagram … [projected] an almost satirical image of masculine vigor."
He further likened Putin to a Chicago-style ward boss, "except with nukes and a U.N. Security Council veto," who treated life as "a zero-sum game" where "a lack of scruples" and "a contempt for any high-minded aspirations beyond accumulating power, were not flaws" but "an advantage."
Russian-state broadcaster RT focused on the former U.S. president's characterization of Russia's international status in a news article headlined: "Russia isn't a 'superpower' because it doesn't project 'military power across the globe' says former US president Obama."
Summarizing Obama, the article's anonymous author writes:
"If [Russia] wants to be taken seriously on the world stage, Russia should take a leaf out of Washington's book and deploy more of its soldiers in other countries. That's according to former US President Barack Obama."
This, however, mischaracterizes what Obama wrote.
Nowhere does the former U.S. president state that Russia should deploy more troops in other countries to be taken seriously, nor did he say Russia is not a superpower because it "doesn't project military power" across the globe.
Rather, Obama argues that Russia is not a superpower because it lacks the capability to broadly project power like the U.S.
"Despite having a nuclear arsenal second only to our own, Russia lacked the vast network of alliances and bases that allowed the United States to project its military power across the globe," Obama wrote.
GERMANY -- Two activists dressed up as U.S. President Trump and Russian President Putin ride two atomic bomb models during a protest for a world without nuclear weapons in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, July 30, 2020
It is open to debate whether or not Obama is right on that count. But it's a far different point than the misrepresentation published by RT.
Russia, in fact, has projected its military power beyond its borders, invading Georgia and Ukraine, as well as intervening militarily in Syria in 2015 and deploying troops to Venezuela in 2019.
And, as has been the case with its 2014 annexation of Crimea and continued military involvement in eastern Ukraine, Russia has actually sought to obscure its role in various conflicts by deploying state-backed mercenaries or unmarked soldiers.
The U.S. Africa Command has accused the Kremlin-backed Wagner paramilitary group of interfering in Libya. Moscow has denied that, although independent United Nations monitors have confirmed the presence of Wagner fighters in the North African country.
The U.S. State Department believes as many as 2,500 Wagner troops were active in Libya during the first quarter of 2020.
Wagner mercenaries have also been reported in the Central African Republic, Sudan, Mozambique and Madagascar.
In August, Germany's Bild newspaper, citing the country's Foreign Ministry, reported that Russia seeks to build military bases in six African countries.
On November 11, Russia's Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin approved a draft agreement on establishing a naval logistics base in Sudan to "meet the goals of maintaining peace and stability in the region."
In July, 33 members of Wagner were detained in Belarus, with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko claiming they were there to interfere with the August 9 election. On August 14, all but one of the mercenaries — a Belarusian national — were sent back to Russia.
Russia has also deployed "peacekeepers" in several neighboring states that have frozen and hot conflicts that erupted with the collapse of the Soviet Union, including Moldova, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

How Men Who Refuse Polygamy Contributing To Prostitution – Ned Nwoko
A Nigerian lawyer and politician, Prince Chinedu Munir Nwoko, popularly known as Ned Nwoko, has revealed that men who do not marry more than one wife were contributing to immorality in society.
The former lawmaker, who stated this in his recent interview with the Guardian, urged Nigerian men to emulate the northern men by marrying more than one wife.
According to him, "Many women are out there without a husband, especially in the southern part of the country, and there is a high level of prostitution. If the southern men emulate their northern counterparts by marrying more than one wife, that could probably change the situation.

"An average southerner may have one wife with girlfriends, and he is spending money on the girlfriends, sometimes even more than his wife.
"For instance, the man, who has three wives, concentrate on them, every money he makes is spent on his family, and he is more likely not to have a girlfriend or concubines. The money those with several girlfriends spend on them is a gift, not an investment in the family."
Nwoko, who has multiple wives, noted that he and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, are serving Nigeria by marrying many wives.

Ned, who further claimed to have the same background as Ooni, explained that their grandfathers were kings and had served Nigeria in that capacity. "And we are now also serving Nigeria by marrying many wives."

Orange Dreamsicle popsicles were a staple of my childhood – hopefully they were a part of your childhood too!
The sweet and creamy flavor combined with the heat of the summer made for an impossible-to-resist combination that I indulged in most day during my childhood.
My Keto Dreamsicles are so good, they'll take you back to childhood – and you won't miss the carbs!
The goal with these is for them to turn out creamy, not icy like some of my other Keto Popsicles.
You will need a popsicle mold to make these, and the number of popsicles the recipe makes will depend on how large you molds are.
I used these Silicone Popsicle molds because I love the size, shape, and the fact that they're silicone.
It makes 10 individual 3-oz popsicles, which I find is a good size for adults and kids.
Fill popsicle molds, then refrigerate 4 hours until frozen through. Enjoy!

You See Those Primeval Envoys in Gambit?
Sadly enough the people who are doing all that probably dont even read the forums, internet memes, reddit, or any other form of how to...... So dont go into gambit with 3 or less on your team.
Asher: [b]Slaps arm:[/b] Oh... oh no, it's spreading! AHHHHH!
Thank you. I am glad someone else understands. As for the remaining people? For now, it might just be ignorance, dear. Soon one might find themselves finally catching up.
So basically, nerf fusion rifles?
Quick question. If you summon the primeval before your opponent and get the primeval slayer debuff. Is it true that when the opponent summons their primeval, they immediately have the debuff already active?
I just focus on killing and let my random teammates pick up the motes. I know they're going to run and grab all that they can, so I'll just try and keep them safe and the bank open. I steal all of the heavy ammo for my Sleeper and then burn down the Primeval with it and Blade Barrage. Just gotta learn to adapt and work with your team.
So I'm just wondering..Can people not communicate in an educated polite way playing video games or do you see somebody doing something you dnt like and just write a post about it or yell at them or call them names like an adolescent? Serious question, because sometimes people really astonish me .
What's even worse is all the asshats that sabotage the matches. They just sit in spawn after the first round, win or loss, and do nothing or try and take all of the motes and kill them selves. It's happened enough to the point I'm done playing gambit until players like this get banned.
lol! "Or maybe you could just kill the boss quicker" Someone actually posted that.
you would expect at the rate everyone is dropping Edge Transit Void Heavies they would at least be using them on those Wizards.
Biggest issue I have with gambit is if I kill a crap ton of enemies then go to pick them up, it turns out 1 of my own teammates was just standing behind me doing nothing while I did all the work. I'm lucky if I get 1 morte sometimes. I know you're part of a team but maybe I'm trying to be more than a bullet sponge so someone I never met can mop up behind me and run away after.
Ever have a match where you're clearing adds and wonder why you're drawing so much fire only to look around and see all 3 of your teammates standing by the invasion portal? Yeah, apparently that's a thing.
I have already gotten bored with Gambit. No way am I going to try for 15000 Infamy points.

Why Are Matching Numbers Important?
A film by:
Philip Basil
Sports Purpose Consultant
When contemplating the purchase of an everyday second hand car there are certain attributes that we all seem to focus on while sifting though the pile of possibilities. How many miles has it done, what service history does it have, how many owners has it had? It's a shorthand way of determining a car's quality that we have all become familiar with. It doesn't always work but it's reliable enough to have become a rule of thumb.
Of course classic cars are an altogether more complicated buying proposition with a myriad of factors to be considered before something can be determined to be good, bad or mediocre. Most classic cars can't be accurately described in less than a thousand words much though auction houses might try. However over recent years one particular trait has assumed so much importance that cars without it are dismissed without a further thought. Classic car buyers now scan sale descriptions for the magical words "numbers matching" and if they can't find them they move on. Numbers matching has become a sine qua non and values reflect that. The influx of new money into the classic car world over the last five years has had something to do with it and buyers increasingly find comfort in ticking boxes like "numbers matching". I wonder if many really understand why.
So what really do we mean by "matching numbers" and what exactly are we all inferring from it?
In the current vernacular it generally means that the car's engine number and gearbox number match those that the factory records show were on the car when it was delivered. The inference taken is that the engine and gearbox are the exact same as those that were delivered with the car. Numbers matching seems to be used as a measure of a car's authenticity.
To some extent this is fair, but I would argue gauging authenticity is a lot more involved than that. Sure, matching numbers will mean that the part that the number is stamped on is original but what about everything else? Mechanical parts inevitably wear out and need replacing, so what have they been replaced with? As stocks deplete, original parts are becoming seriously expensive and less than rigorously restored cars may have had short cuts taken. To judge the mechanical authenticity of a car you need to look at a lot more than just the serial numbers.
Moreover, the overall authenticity of a car is about much more than its mechanicals. A Porsche 356 with all of its original bodywork and interior still intact but an engine that was swapped at some point in its life can be far more authentic than a gleaming numbers matching bauble that's been restored from a corroded wreck. This might sound obvious but it's something many have lost sight of. Many buyers demand authenticity but without appreciating what authenticity really is.
jump to video
This is becoming increasingly important as the market is definitely starting to place a much greater premium on cars that are truly authentic. At RM Sotheby's auction in Monterey this year there were two 1967 Porsche 911S models for sale. The first was a car that was fresh out of restoration - repainted, re-trimmed and without a mark on it. The second was unrestored but had been hardly used and kept in factory original condition. The first car sold for US$ 159,600, the second car sold for US$ 912,500. Both cars were "numbers matching".
So what should we really be looking for? What does it mean for a car to be authentic?
My own personal wish list would start with the chassis as in my mind it represents the soul of any car. Ideally the chassis and bodywork should be completely intact however one has to expect that any car that has been used will be to some extent corroded and damaged. This does not necessarily detract as long as it isn't severe and has been skilfully repaired. Then it simply becomes part of the story of the car. It's nice to find factory finishes still present and even if a car has been externally repainted you may still find the engine bay or luggage compartment hasn't. Paradoxically I find a car more attractive when you can still see imperfections from the original production process, be that poor quality welds or runs in the paint. It conveys a sense of the maker's mark still being on the car. Sometimes you can even find an actual "artist's signature", an example being the hand written production number in wax crayon on the dash of an early 911.
Moving on from the chassis I would next look at the interior. Nothing provides a stronger connection with the history of a car than the things you touch while you drive it. The patina on the rim of a steering wheel and the wear on an arm rest gives you a sense of the others that have driven the car before you. Of course there's patinated and then there's down right tatty but we generally know the difference when we see it. The originality of the materials is also key. Even the best trimmers cannot replicate the feel of leather or vinyl made fifty years ago using processes that have since been regulated out of existence.
Which brings me to the mechanical aspects of the car. I would certainly maintain that the running gear should be to the car's original specification as that will determine whether the way it functions is authentic or not. For example a 1965 911 should run a type 901/01 crankcase with centre oiled cams and Solex carburettors. It would concern me if I found a slightly later 901/05 crankcase with spray bar lubricated cams and Weber carburettors but would it matter if the engine serial number was a few hundred out? Not so much. Don't get me wrong, for a road car it would always be a plus if the engine number matches the factory Kardex but for me this wouldn't be as crucial as the other aspects of authenticity I have just discussed. With competition cars I would go further and say no importance at all should be attached to matching numbers. I doubt many competition car engines survived their first season of racing. What is much more relevant is that a racing engine is of the correct type with all the attendant, and usually very rare period parts.
Of course not everyone will share my fascination with this sort of minutiae. Indeed I would hazard a guess that a lot of people are only interested in matching numbers because they think other people are. But as I initially explained this shorthand for authenticity is rather simplistic and will lead to people paying a premium for things they shouldn't. As the market continues to become more sophisticated, its view of authenticity is developing with it. Best make sure then that the numbers matching car you're thinking of buying really is authentic.

The Royal Observatory, Greenwich is a historic astronomical observatory in Greenwich, which is in East London.
The Royal Observatory, Greenwich was commissioned by King Charles II in 1675. It subsequently went on to make many contributions to science during its long history.
The site was important for astronomical work (which of course had maritime applications), and was where the Prime Meridian (the basis of longitude) was established in 1851, and agreed upon by an international conference in 1884. Additionally, until 1954, Greenwich Meantime (GMT), which is now known as "Universal Time", was calculated based on observations from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.

Car (surname)
Car (King of Caria)
A fen is one of the main types of wetland, the others being grassy marshes, forested swamps, and peaty bogs. Along with bogs, fens are a kind of mire. Fens are usually fed by mineral-rich surface water or groundwater. They are characterised by their water chemistry, which is pH neutral or alkaline, with relatively high dissolved mineral levels but few other plant nutrients. They are usually dominated by grasses and sedges, and typically have brown mosses in general including Scorpidium or Drepanocladus. Fens frequently have a high diversity of other plant species including carnivorous plants such as Pinguicula. They may also occur along large lakes and rivers where seasonal changes in water level maintain wet soils with few woody plants. The distribution of individual species of fen plants is often closely connected to water regimes and nutrient concentrations.
Fens have a characteristic set of plant species, which sometimes provide the best indicators of environmental conditions. For example, fen indicator species in New York State include Carex flava, Cladium mariscoides, Potentilla fruticosa, Pogonia ophioglossoides and Parnassia glauca.

Car is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Marko Car (disambiguation), multiple people
Mirosław Car (1960–2013), Polish footballer
Roberto Car (born 1947), Italian physicist

Car of the Carians (Greek: Κάρ), according to Herodotus, was the brother of Lydus and Mysus. He was regarded as the eponymous and ancestral hero of the Carians who would have received their name from the king. He may or may not be the same as Car of Megara
The name "Car" is unrelated to the English word "car" (vehicle).
Car of the Carians
Herodotus mentions Car, brother of Lydus and Mysus; the three brothers were believed to have been the ancestral heroes and eponyms of the Carians, the Lydians and the Mysians respectively. This Car was credited by Pliny the Elder with inventing the auspicia.
Car was also said to have founded the city Alabanda, which he named after Alabandus, his son by Callirhoe (the daughter of the river god Maeander). In turn, Alabandus's name is said to have been chosen in commemoration of his Car's victory in a horse fight— according to the scholar Stephanus of Byzantium, "Alabandos" was the Carian word for "winner in a horse fight". Another son of Car, Idrieus, had the city Idrias named after himself.

Gustav Sule (* 10. November 1910 in Tartu; † 3. April 1942 in Kotlas, russ. Котлас) war ein estnischer Leichtathlet, der in den 1930er Jahren aktiv war. Seine Spezialdisziplin war das Speerwerfen.

Bereits 1928 war er Schülermeister im Hochsprung (1,71 m), im Stabhochsprung (3,36 m) und im Speerwerfen (55,25 m).

Sule nahm an den Olympischen Spielen 1936 in Berlin sowie an den Europameisterschaften 1934 in Turin und 1938 in Paris teil.

 1934 gewann er mit einer Leistung von 69,31 m die BRONZEmedaille hinter den beiden Finnen Matti Järvinen (Gold mit 76,66 m) und Matti Sippala (Silber mit 69,97 m).
 1936 in Berlin lief es für den Esten nicht so gut. Mit 63,26 m verpasste er als Elfter klar das Finale der besten sechs Werfer.
 1938 stand der Speerwurf-Wettkampf ganz im Zeichen des überragenden Matti Järvinen, der selbst mit dem schlechtesten seiner sechs Finalwürfe noch eine Medaille gewonnen hätte. Sule kam im dritten Versuch auf 68,60 m und lag hinter dem Finnen und seinem überraschend starken Landsmann Friedrich Isaak auf Platz 3. Dann jedoch zogen Yrjö Nikkanen und der Ungar József Várszegi mit mehreren 70-m-Würfen nach, und obwohl Sule im letzten Versuch ebenfalls die 70-m-Marke übertraf (70,50 m), blieb für ihn schließlich nur Platz 4.

Zu zwei weiteren Medaillen kam Sule bei den Internationalen Universitäts-Spielen, dem Vorläufer der Studentenweltspiele.

 1933 in Turin: SILBER hinter dem Ungarn Jozsef Varszegi und vor dem Deutschen Gottfried Weimann
 1935 in Budapest: BRONZE mit 64,95 m hinter dem Deutschen Gerhard Stöck (Gold mit 67,80 m)

Zwischen 1928 und 1940 wurde Sule neunmal estnischer Meister im Speerwerfen und einmal im Hochsprung. Hinzu kommen zweite und dritte Plätze im Stabhochspringen und im Zehnkampf. Zwischen 1931 und 1938 verbesserte er sechs Mal den estnischen Rekord im Speerwerfen (von 69,54 m auf 75,93 m).

Er gehörte acht Jahre lang zu den zehn besten Speerwerfern der Welt – 1931 und 1937 kam er auf Platz 2, 1938 auf Platz 3 der Weltbestenliste.

Im Jahr 1934 wurde er zum estnischen Sportler des Jahres gewählt.

I'm nearing the stages of completion for converting a dead Aliens 3: The gun cabinet into a MAME version of it instead, this is because the game board is FUBAR but everything else is original.
So I have both the guns pots hooked up to a A-Trak along with the trigger and bomb button. That all works and responses but the problem I'm having must be in MAME itself.
The problem is the centering, I have disabled auto center value to 0 but when moving from left to right or up to down its not smooth in the middle. So for example it moves smoothly from the left but the moment it hits the middle it is kind of like a dead zone and you have push a bit futher to get it out of the dead zone to make it move.
Is it worn out Pots?, Is it calibration in USB Controller settings for Windows or is it something in MAME or the USB encoder? We just want it smooth 1:1 movement so you can shoot in the centre easily without it locking in place.
Any ideas at all guys?
No idea but is it anything to do with the Acceleration etc settings in the analogue menu?
I tried playing with the analogue settings and I didn't know if I was making it better or worse lol. I have tried reducing the auto center to 0 also increased the sensitivities, finally lowered the digital speed.

Continuing security concerns at Dadaab refugee camp
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees will mark this year's World Refugee Day next week amid security concerns at the Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya which borders war-torn Somalia.
Government and UN officials said the insecurity fears is the biggest headache for the global body charged with the responsibility of looking after the welfare of refugees around the world.
UNHCR Spokesman in Kenya Emmanuel Nyabera said the deteriorating security situation over the last six months at the refugee camp, home to over 500,000 refugees, and during which relief workers were kidnapped and explosives detonated by suspected members of Somalia-based Islamic militia group, the Al- Shabaab, has slowed down the delivery of relief aid to the migrants and dampened the morale of workers.
"However, UNHCR has taken certain steps to arrest the situation by working closely with the Kenyan government by donating vehicles, communication equipment and paying incentives to the police and constructing police stations to enhance security," Nyabera told Xinhua in Nairobi on Thursday.
"Despite the setbacks, we are determined to alleviate the sufferings of the refugees, who like everyone, would like to be at home but cannot because of circumstances beyond their control."
The camp has been experiencing a spate of grenade attacks since October last year when Kenyan troops crossed into Somalia in pursuit of the militants who also kidnapped some foreign relief workers attached there.
The UNHCR spokesman said more refugees are still anticipated into the camp because of the prevailing security situation in Somalia where African Union troops are engaged in a war to neutralize Al-Shabaab.
"Congestion is still a major challenge at the camp and we don't expect the number to come down any time soon because the security situation in Somalia is still far from ideal," Nyabera said.
"The camp was initially planned for only 90,000 refugees but the number has swelled to over 500,000 out of which 94 per cent are from Somalia with the rest coming from Ethiopia and Eritrea."
Nyabera said among the improvements UNHCR has undertaken at Dadaab in preparation for more refugees are the expansion of the camp, opening of a new office in Fafi, an area located at the outskirts of the camp in order to cater for more refugees as well as improvement of sanitation and shelter.
He said the refugees should only move back when the conditions that made them flee their countries no longer exists.
The spokesman said more countries should consider receiving the refugees under the relocation program where they are transferred to third countries, especially the educated ones.
He said the day, which will be marked under the theme "One person forced to flee is too many" is to remind the whole world that in our midst, there are refugees who would like to be at home but cannot.
"We remind the world that people are important.
"The day also reminds the world and particularly the refugees that they can still contribute positively despite their circumstance."
The East African nation will mark the day in Nairobi with song and dance by nine cultural performances from different nationalities and participation by government and UNHCR officials and representatives of various UNHCR supporting agencies.
There will also be cultural performances at the Dadaab and Kakuma, Kenya's other refugee camp that houses over 94,000 refugees out of which 40,000 are from Somalia.
Nyabera attributed the cause of refugee problems in the world to conflict and presently climate change that has brought about famine and drought.

Q: Desired Unique ID Field not showing
I am trying to do an ordinary least squares on some data, and the value field for the 'Unique ID Field' that I want to select isn't appearing, so I'm not able to run my ols.
Has anyone encountered this problem, and managed to overcome it?

A: If you look at your screen shot in the help panel is clearly states an INTEGER field is required. I suspect your ID field is not of this format, may be it is a string or decimal? You would need to create a unique ID field of type LONG.

As an Athletic Trainer, there have been plenty of times where I have had to go with a quick judgement call. A lot of the times, AT's are the ones that are on site for injuries, and we often need to make quick decisions on if we think the injured is able to RTP (return to play) or if they need further medical assistance. Being on the sidelines during games is probably the most often you will need to make these quick decisions, because the coach needs to know if the athlete can RTP for the next couple of games. In wrestling, you only have a couple of minutes of injury time, so that is a great example of when we need to make a snap judgement call, send him in or forfeit the match. When we are in these situations, we use our training to evaluate, but we sometimes need to go with what our gut is telling us. There is sometimes a very fine line on if the athlete is ready or not, and sometimes your gut is the only thing that can guide you. Here are my 3 stories of when I had to listen to my gut.
-When in Doubt, get it checked out!
I had a track athlete who came down into my room c/o (complaining of) hip pain. He was walking with a funny gait, but was able to WB (weight-bare) just fine. He told me that they were practicing the long jump indoors that day (due to the wonderful MN weather we had in March) and on his last jump he felt like something "popped". I had him lay on my tx (treatment) table and I was looking at his hip joint, and hip flexor. I knew that sometimes kids can feel like there hip "popped" when it is actually one of the tendons snapping over a bone. I also knew that it was pretty hard to dislocate your hip out of the hip socket, but I looked to make sure that the head of the femur was articulating correctly in the joint. That all checked out to be good, so I was poking around a bit on his Iliac Crest when he about jumped out of his skin. I was very surprised that he had this reaction and it confused me a bit. I was sure that he had just done something to a soft tissue structure, but something in my gut told me that he needed to get his looked at. I sent him in for X-rays and sure enough there was something more going on. He told me that the X-rays showed he had an apophyseal avulsion fx on his Iliac crest. This is an injury that needs to be healed with rest, otherwise it could get worse. I was so happy that I went with my gut instead of telling him to ice and get back to practice.
-Its ok to ask for a second opinion!
I had a football player go down during the last play of the half. I think you could hear his screams from China, so I knew something was seriously wrong. When we got out to him he was in a great deal of pain, due to an injury to his Clavicle (collar bone). I could feel that it was broken, and we (the medical team that was at this event helping me out) also thought that it was displaced (not a clean break that could heal on its own). We sent him into the ER to get X-rays, and he reported back the next day that the doc he saw told him it was a clean break and to wear a sling for a couple of weeks. Something in my gut was telling me that this was not right. I contacted the doctor that looked at him on the sideline and told her what had happened. I also asked if he could get into her clinic and get a second look at it, just to be safe. Sure enough they found that the thing was shattered and he needed to get into surgery. This could have been a MAJOR health issue for him in the future. I am so glad that he was able to get the care he needed.
I had a basketball player dislocate her finger during a game. A finger! Easy Peasy! I actually enjoy reducing dislocations so I was thinking "bring it"! Well, she brought it! This sucker was jammed in SO bad, it wouldn't budge for me. I knew that the bone had gone up and on top of the other one, when most dislocations kind of go out to the side, and are thus easier to reduce.
I was feeling pretty defeated that I couldn't get the finger to reduce and I wanted to keep trying, but I knew that she was in pain and I decided to have her go in to have a doc reduce it. It ended up being a bugger for the docs to get in at the hospital as well, so I didn't feel as bad! Sometimes I feel like it's hard for people to ask for help, but it is ok, and is often needed and the right thing to do.
I would love to hear a time when you had to "go with your gut" and the story behind it!

When a wire passes through an external magnetic field, it causes electrons in that wire to move together in one direction. The current in the wire produce a magnetic field around the wire. The 2 different magnetic fields interact with each other results in a voltage (emf) to be "induced" in the coil. This motion of the electrons in the loop that is placed in a magnetic field is caused by a motional electromagnetic force (emf).
A simple alternating current (AC) generator is illustrated here. ABCD is mounted on an axle PQ. The ends of the wire of the loop are connected to 2 brushes contacting two slip rings continuously at position X & Y. Two carbon brushes are made to press lightly against the slip rings.
The key to producing motional emf is in change in the magnetic flux experienced by the coil loop.
In the case when an outside handle bar is rotating at θ (t) = 0.5*t, the coil is spinning at a constant rate of angular velocity ω = 0.5 rad/s within an external magnetic field. Because it is always moving through the magnetic field, a current is sustained but always varying. But, because the coil is spinning, it's moving across the magnetic field first in one direction and then in the other, which means that the flow of electrons keeps changing. Because the electrons flow first in one direction and in the other, the generator produces an alternating current.
Faraday's law states the induced emf in a coil is equal to the negative of the rate of change of magnetic flux times the number of turns in the coil. The induced electromotive force or emf, ε in any closed circuit is equal to the rate of change of the magnetic flux , Φ through the circuit.
Φ is the magnetic flux through the circuit (in Weber).
Lenz's law states an induced current is always in such a direction as to oppose the motion or change causing it.
The physical setup of Bz and normal vector of area A when t = 0 s, such that angle B&A = ( θ + π/2 ).
When mechanical energy is used to rotate the loop, the armature induced an emf described by the right hand rule. The induced emf in a coil is equal to the negative of the rate of change of magnetic flux times the number of turns in the coil.
Use the rotating handle function input field θ(t)= _________ to see what happens when the rotating handle cranks the loop in the Bz magnetic field. The checkbox current flow & electron flow allow different visualization since I = d(Q)/dt and Q= number of charge*e. The Play & Pause button allows freezing the 3D view for visualizing these induced currents and for checking for consistency with the right hand rule.
ε = N.B.A.ω .cos ( ω.t ) = I.R.
If θ(t)= 2*t , imply 2 =ω ε/R = N.B.A.ω .cos ( ω.t )/R = I. which is the modeled equation.
ε/R = 1.2.1.5*1.5.2x10-6 .cos ( 2.t )/1 = I.
Question: Given the context of global energy crisis, fossil fuel as primary source of energy and its effects of global warming, are you aware of any alterative energy source?
Possible student responses: Many students probably already know of clean energy and able to verbally mention some of them such as wind and wave energy.
Answer: Yes! Wind energy and wave energy are examples of energy sources that convert mechanical sources of energy and convert it to electrical energy. Later, we will demonstrate a way to convert human mechanical energy in the form of rotating an axle to rotate a coil so as to get electrical energy.
A real live demo is best.
1. Explore the simulation; this simulation is designed as an electric generator that turns motion into alternating-current electric power by exploiting electromagnetic induction. This AC generator model consists of 2 pole magnets and a wire (usually a very long one that's wrapped to form several coils and known as an armature or coil). A hydraulic engine or some other outside source of motion (This applet has a handle bar for you to rotate) moves the wire or armature through the external magnetic field created by the magnets.
3 by default values Bz, Lengthx, Lengthz, N, R, ϑ = 6.2831*t play the simulation. Notice ϑ = 6.2831*t is the angular displacement function of the handle bar. The wire is in a rotation motion and the galvanometer display the induced current in the AC generator. What is the physics principle simulated here.
6 explore the slider Bz. what do this slider control?
7 explore the slider Lengthx. What does this slider control?
8 explore the slider Lengthz. What does this slider control?
9 together a variable called A is defined as Lengthx*Lengthz, suggest a suitable meaning for A.
10 by leaving the cursor on the slider, tips will appear to give a description of the slider. You can try it the following sliders such as the N, R, t, Φ , ε , i, v.
11 record down the names of the variables and its meaning from the tips.
11 There is an external magnet with the poles as setup in the z axis direction.
What are the magnetic poles when Bz is positive?
12 What can you conclude about the directions of the magnetic field exerted by the magnets?
hint: the magnetic field vectors comes out from which pole when view from outside the magnet.
13 The external magnetic field Bz can be varied using the slider Bz. When Bz is positive, it is in the direction vertically up. Vary Bz until it is negative, what is the direction of the Bz then?
When θ = 0o What is amount of magnetic flux Φ passing through the area of the coil loop is zero Wb.
15 Step the simulation by dt, take note of the new value of the θ and the new Φ reading. By calculating d(Φ)/ dt, at this instant in time. Think of a way, to collect the data to fill in the following table.


of the Abkhaz & Caucasus Confederates. The gory and serious confrontations were witnessed in the Apkhazeti of that time. Professor Simon Maskharashvili has more.
GJ – It should be noted that the act of deployment of armed formations on the territory of Apkhazeti was accordingly negotiated with the leader of Apkhazeti of that time Vladislav Ardzinba. Nothing was done arbitrarily and unexpectedly; all was agreed upon in good time and faith. Is this true?
S.M. – Yes, it is! Everything had been negotiated and agreed upon with the leadership of the Autonomous Republic, but it so happened that Ardzinba left Sokhumi when the Georgian police unit entered the city. The Russians distributed the weapons from the Eshchera military base in Apkhazeti (Russian: Abkhazia) not only among the Apkhaz (Russian: Abkhaz) separatists to fight the Georgians, but practically among every destructive force in the area including the local bands and other unlawful formations. The armed clashes started taking place and bloodshed became commonplace. By the end of August and beginning of September of 1992, the Russian military units got actively involved in battles. Those Russian military units carried a false appellation of the Abkhaz & Caucasus Confederates. The gory and serious confrontations were witnessed in the Apkhazeti of that time. After several months it became clear that the Russian military units could not achieve any serious success. Starting from March of 1993 and later in the battles of June and July of the same year, the Russian military divisions got openly and actively involved in ongoing battles. Russia was no longer concealing is direct involvement in the war in Apkhazeti.
GJ – The Georgian armed forces achieved outstanding victory in those battles, and the adversary incurred serious human and technical losses. This is at least what I know for sure about that Russian-Georgian war in Apkhazeti. What was the final outcome of the war?
S.M. – Russia certainly tried to keep face on the international arena, and it agreed to enter post-war negotiations. Russia though had no way to assume the role of a peacekeeper in the region because Russia's role of an occupant was too obvious in the bloodshed. The peacekeeping mission was finally assumed by the United Nations Organization which kept apart Georgians and the Russian occupants.
GJ – What do you exactly mean by saying 'kept apart'?
S.M. – The UNO peacekeeping forces were supposed to be stationed at River Gumista. Both the Russians and the Georgians were given time for pulling out their respective military gear many kilometers away from the combat zone. The Russians placed their gear very near to the front line whereas they demanded that the Georgian side keep theirs at a distance three times farther from the combat zone.
GJ – And who demanded that – the United Nations or the Russian side?
S.M. – Both! As it seems, the Russian factor was quite effective in the United Nations at that very time. The worst part of the whole deal was that the Russian propaganda machine was successfully trying to sell the clearly Russian-Georgian conflict for a conflict between Georgia and Apkhazeti (Abkhazia). Georgia lost that information war – the international organizations refused to consider us as the patriots fighting the totalitarian empire in defense of our own motherland. And that was happening as a consequence of serious efforts made by the Russian side.

How do I know I'm in ketosis?
i started the Keto diet about a week ago, but how do I know when i teach kitosis?
can I reach kitosis if I go over the 20g carb limit?
Hey Angela! Usually you can test if you are in ketosis by using testing strips. I've used the Bayer kind before. You can also tell if you are in ketosis by physical signs-better sleep, more energy, mental clarity, fruity breath and feeling full more often than not. Here's a great article to learn more about testing for ketosis.
