The 7 Best Books Every Gambler Should Read
There's an endless amount of useful content on the internet these days, but there will always be people who prefer to lose their minds in the physical pages of an exciting novel or book. Reading in itself is like food for the soul and a great source of inspiration when we're trying to learn about something new.
There are hundreds of different gambling books out there that talk about everything from addiction to winning success stories to mastering the art of casino games, but none are quite as insightful and fun to read as these seven below.
The Gambler is one of the most well-known books in gambling history. Written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, the story depicts a young tutor called Alexei, who works under the command of a wealthy Russian general. The general is hopelessly addicted to gambling and spends his time hassling his grandmother to visit the household to pay off his debts. Meanwhile, Alexei falls in love with the general's young niece, who cajoles him into placing bets for her at the local casino.
His naivety and underlying love for the girl eventually pushes him into a downward spiral of loss and out-of-control gambling. The Gambler remains one of the best-selling books of all time, but Dostoyevsky was said to have been up against deadlines and only wrote it purely to pay off his own gambling debts. At least something good came out of his addiction!
Hunter S. Thompson illustrates the raw emotions behind what pushes gamblers to the edge in his book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The story revolves around Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo (his attorney), who head to Las Vegas to pursue the American Dream. They embark on their journey in a shiny red convertible with a massive suitcase of drugs in the trunk. Once they make it to their hotel, they are already in a full-blown acid trip and spend the rest of the evening contemplating life, taking copious amounts of substances, and stumbling in and out of casinos.
Eventually, the high gets too much for Dr. Gonzo, who takes off and leaves Duke to fend for himself in Sin City. Later, he is convinced to return to Vegas and continue the inebriated escapade of 60s counterculture and debauchery. If you aren't so much of a bookworm, Fear and Loathing's movie adaptation is equally compelling. It stars Johnny Depp as "Duke" and Benicio Del Toro as "Gonzo", who execute the characters and their insolent quirks perfectly.
Bringing Down the House is as close to real-life Ocean's Eleven as you can get. The book revolves around a MIT student (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) named Kevin Lewis, who convinces a group of fellow classmates to learn the art of card counting. The team naturally gets good and heads to Las Vegas in an attempt to pull off a multimillion-dollar blackjack heist.
Even though it's the author's first non-fiction book, it paints a highly accurate picture of the scams and strategies used to cheat modern-day casinos. Card counting is not considered illegal in gambling, but it's still frowned upon and most casino operators will chuck you out if you get caught doing it. It certainly doesn't hurt to know how though, and if you're mathematically inclined — this book is a must-read.
Gambling 102
There are plenty of different books that touch on gambling basics, but none quite hit the nail on the head as much as guru Michael Shackleford's Gambling 102. His book delves deep into the mathematical strategies and mindset needed to play gambling games and win practically every time. There are 19 chapters covering 19 casino games, each giving readers advice for playing different poker variations, what numbers and colors are most likely to hit in roulette, and the most favorable bets to place in games like baccarat and craps.
All of his theories are backed up by his own proven experience, knowledge, and cemented reputation as "the Wizard of Odds." If you're looking for the best way to increase your odds and winning streaks, this is undoubtedly one for the collection.
The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King
Written by Michael Craig, The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King dates back to 2001, when some of the world's best poker players took a seat at the tables in the Bellagio, Las Vegas. Among the crew were high profile names like Todd Brunson, Chip Reese, Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman, and — new kid on the block at the time — Andrew Beal, who all took part in one of the richest and longest poker matches ever played.
The game lasted for months and saw each contestant buy-in for between $10,000-$20,000 per round. At the game's peak and when the contestants were beginning to lose their wit, the prize money on the table was around $20 million. This book excavates the palm-sweating psyche of each player and follows the intense journey of the game in its most accurate account.
Roll the Bones was written by historian and avid gambler, David G. Schwartz. The book unravels the fascinating timeline of events that began with humans rolling knuckle bones in games of chance during the prehistoric period. It then progresses through to the height of Roman and Greek civilizations, followed by the Middle Ages when playing cards were first introduced in China.
The book also runs through the birth of the first casino games in Venice's gambling dens, and how gambling has financed and helped American colonies prosper. Schwartz describes how Las Vegas came to be the world's gambling playground and how tycoons like Steve Wynn helped create one of the largest revenue-making industries in the world.
Sex, Lies and Video Poker
Finally, Bob Dancer might not be the best novelist on our list, but if you're looking for a way to sharpen your video poker skills and get a dose of raunchy romance at the same time, this is a book worth picking up. Sex, Lies and Video Poker relates to the casinos in Vegas. It talks about Dancer's own knowledge of playing the game and his experiences with places, people, and the massive sums of money he's won from playing video poker in the Golden Nugget.

The new film, Inside Llewyn Davis, from Joel & Ethan Coen arrives next month, and while the direction from the siblings and their incredible cast featuring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, Adam Driver and more will certainly make it a stellar experience, the film's soundtrack is like a character unto itself. Iconic musician T Bone Burnett has worked with the Coen Brothers for years, including producing the incredble soundtrack for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and now his entire soundtrack for the film is available to stream right now. Listen below!
Joel and Ethan Coen are writing and directing Inside Llewyn Davis, which was originally inspired by real-life musician Dave Van Ronk. The story chronicles a struggling musician's time as a larger-than-life presence in the 60's folk music scene in Greenwich Village, known for the famous folk-music haunts and mentoring musicians such as Bob Dylan. Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, Adam Driver and more star in the film which also brings back O Brother Where Art Thou music producer T-Bone Burnett working with Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons. CBS Films picked up Inside Llewyn Davis and has the film scheduled to arrive on December 6th late this year.

The rapid increase in the performance of graphics hardware, coupled with recent improvements in its programmability, have made graphics hardware acompelling platform for computationally demanding tasks in awide variety of application domains. In this report, we describe, summarize, and analyze the latest research in mapping general-purpose computation to graphics hardware. We begin with the technical motivations that underlie general-purpose computation on graphics processors (GPGPU) and describe the hardware and software developments that have led to the recent interest in this field. We then aim the main body of this report at two separate audiences. First, we describe the techniques used in mapping general-purpose computation to graphics hardware. We believe these techniques will be generally useful for researchers who plan to develop the next generation of GPGPU algorithms and techniques. Second, we survey and categorize the latest developments in general-purpose application development on graphics hardware.
A classification and comparison framework for software architecture description languages

Software architectures shift the focus of developers from lines-of-code to coarser-grained architectural elements and their overall interconnection structure. Architecture description languages (ADLs) have been proposed as modeling notations to support architecture-based development. There is, however, little consensus in the research community on what is an ADL, what aspects of an architecture should be modeled in an ADL, and which of several possible ADLs is best suited for a particular problem. Furthermore, the distinction is rarely made between ADLs on one hand and formal specification, module interconnection, simulation, and programming languages on the other. This paper attempts to provide an answer to these questions. It motivates and presents a definition and a classification framework for ADLs. The utility of the definition is demonstrated by using it to differentiate ADLs from other modeling notations. The framework is used to classify and compare several existing ADLs, enabling us in the process to identify key properties of ADLs. The comparison highlights areas where existing ADLs provide extensive support and those in which they are deficient, suggesting a research agenda for the future.

The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the desired degree of configurability, scalability, and customizability. To address these issues, researchers are investigating a variety of innovative approaches. The most promising and intriguing ones are those based on the ability of moving code across the nodes of a network, exploiting the notion of mobile code. As an emerging research field, code mobility is generating a growing body of scientific literature and industrial developments. Nevertheless, the field is still characterized by the lack of a sound and comprehensive body of concepts and terms. As a consequence, it is rather difficult to understand, assess, and compare the existing approaches. In turn, this limits our ability to fully exploit them in practice, and to further promote the research work on mobile code. Indeed, a significant symptom of this situation is the lack of a commonly accepted and sound definition of the term "mobile code" itself. This paper presents a conceptual framework for understanding code mobility. The framework is centered around a classification that introduces three dimensions: technologies, design paradigms, and applications. The contribution of the paper is twofold. First, it provides a set of terms and concepts to understand and compare the approaches based on the notion of mobile code. Second, it introduces criteria and guidelines that support the developer in the identification of the classes of applications that can leverage off of mobile code, in the design of these applications, and, finally, in the selection of the most appropriate implementation technologies. The presentation of the classification is intertwined with a review of the state of the art in the field. Finally, the use of the classification is exemplified in a case study.

Many AI researchers are today striving to build agent teams for complex, dynamic multi-agent domains, with intended applications in arenas such as education, training, entertainment, information integration, and collective robotics. Unfortunately, uncertainties in these complex, dynamic domains obstruct coherent teamwork. In particular, team members often encounter differing, incomplete, and possibly inconsistent views of their environment. Furthermore, team members can unexpectedly fail in fulfilling responsibilities or discover unexpected opportunities. Highly flexible coordination and communication is key in addressing such uncertainties. Simply tting individual agents with precomputed coordination plans will not do, for their in flexibility can cause severe failures in teamwork, and their domain-specificity hinders reusability. Our central hypothesis is that the key to such flexibility and reusability isproviding agents with general models of teamwork. Agents exploit such models to autonomously reason about coordination and communication, providing requisite flexibility. Furthermore, the models enable reuse across domains, both saving implementation effort and enforcing consistency. This article presents one general, implemented model of teamwork, called STEAM. The basic building block of teamwork in STEAM is joint intentions (Cohen & Levesque, 1991b); teamwork in STEAM is based on agents' building up a (partial) hierarchy of joint intentions (this hierarchy is seen to parallel Grosz & Kraus's partial Shared-Plans, 1996). Furthermore, in STEAM, team members monitor the team's and individual members' performance, reorganizing the team as necessary. Finally, decision-theoretic communication selectivity in STEAM ensures reduction in communication overheads of teamwork, with appropriate sensitivity to the environmental conditions. This article describes STEAM's application in three different complex domains, and presents detailed empirical results.

Democrats Fail Once Again to Protect Babies Born Alive After an Abortion
Between 2003 and 2014, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported at least 143 babies had died after being born alive during a botched abortion. While the abortion industry pretends abortion survivors are merely a myth, the live-birth dilemma has been a problem ever since abortion was legalized. Just recently, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) released footage of high-ranking Planned Parenthood officials admitting under oath that they trafficked the organs of infants who survived abortions.
Thank you @RepAndyHarrisMD for introducing a #bornalive amendment to the DOD appropriations bill yesterday.
Your strong support for life is greatly appreciated. #prolife https://t.co/ijcWWmhwxl
— Family Research Council (@FRCdc) July 15, 2020
Yet, Democrats have once again refused to support legislation that would protect babies who survive an abortion procedure.
During a committee consideration for the FY2021 Department of Defense Appropriations bill, Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) proposed a crucial amendment for abortion survivors' rights. Harris recommended that TRICARE funding should be withheld from entities that do not exercise the proper degree of care for born-alive infants.
The amendment would have required a health care practitioner to treat a baby who survives an abortion with the same level of attentiveness they would provide to a child born prematurely. A practitioner must then make sure the abortion survivor is immediately transported to a hospital. A funding recipient would also be required to certify sufficient resources are in place to meet with the mandate and ensure proper reporting measures are in place to account for any violations.
Several Members spoke in support of the Harris Amendment:
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) said, "There is evidence that babies born alive are being killed or neglected after the fact… If a baby is born alive after an abortion, they deserve the same treatment under the law." She highlighted several accounts supporting her statement that "this does happen."
She also requested additional time to respond to Member statements in support of abortion: "When a baby has left a mother's womb, it is not part of her body… This baby is already here…You're not throwing your belief about being pro-choice out the window by saying, 'once a baby is here, we're going to protect it.'" She highlighted additional stories of abortion survivors.
Ranking Member Kay Granger (R-TX) said, "If a baby is born alive after an abortion, we must make sure that everything possible is done to preserve the life of the child."
Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) said, "We must have the humanity to protect living, breathing infants outside of the womb."
Even though Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-GA) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) crossed party lines to support the amendment, it was defeated by a vote of 24 to 28. When the decision to be made is whether or not a child who lives after an abortion deserves protection, this is not a debate of pro-life versus pro-choice. It should simply be a manner of common decency and humanity.

The biggest patch for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds so far this year has just hit test servers.
At a high level, PUBG's patch 12 is full of additions the developer previously talked about. The weapon balance overhaul, and the map selection are just some of the bigger beats.
Update 12 also adds a new 7.62 DMR, the SLR, and a new vehicle to Miramar. Miramar itself is also seeing a few updates such expanding the recently added oasis region, a reduction to the number of buildings in some towns, the addition of cover in open spaces, and more.
Other surprise additions include a host of new weapon attachments, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Shotguns get the Duckbill, while assault rifles, SMGs and DMRs get the Light Grip, Thumb Grip, and the Half Grip.
You'll also find two new scopes: the 3x, and the 6x, which has two magnification options (3x or 6x). The 3x is a common drop while the 6x is rare. On the subject of scopes, the patch lets you change the reticle style (crosshair, circle etc.) and the colour of the reticle on some scopes.
Gameplay changes are plentiful in this update, too, with an overhaul to swimming animations and the time it takes to hold your breath under water to prevent underwater swimming from being used as a way of avoiding fire for most of the journey across.
Grenades have had their weight increased, but they now do more damage. Level three helemets, as previously announced, are now only limited to airdrops, though you're guaranteed to get one in every drop.
Likewise, extended and quickdraw magazines for snipers have been limited to care packages. For assault rifles, the spawn rate of extended quickdraw mags has been decreased. You'll be seeing more of the Adrenaline syringe now that it has a chance to spawn alongside normal loot.
As far as weapon damage updates, pistol damage has been increased across the board. Shotguns' effective range has been extended, and their spread has been reduced by 25%.
Assault rifles damage for all except the Groza and the AKM has been reduced. Reload times have been increased by 30% for the M16A4, M416, and the SCAR-L, whereas the AKM only got a 10% increase. Scopes that are 8x or higher can no longer be used with any AR.
SMG damage has been increased for all except the Tommy Gun, and they'll now also do more damage to limbs. Vertical recoil has been decreased across the board, and so has scope sway when ADSing.
For DMRs, only the VSS and Mini14 got a damage buff, the rest remain unchanged – with the exception of the SKS which actually got nerfed. Overall, though, shot modifiers for all body parts have been increased. DMRs will now also be harder to control thanks to increased vertical and horizontal recoil, and a decrease in recoil recovery rate.
PUBG Corp. did not say when this patch will be available on live servers, but it did confirm that it'll be spending longer than usual on test servers until it's satisfied with the results.
You can download it now and test out the changes for yourself. It's a bigger download than usual, at 9.7GB.
Check out the full list of changes on Steam.
The post PUBG's big PC test patch is here: re-balancing weapons and adding a new DMR, new vehicle and much more appeared first on VG247.


Hi fellow forum members! I recently acquired my first Apple product, an iPod Touch. I know from past discussions that there are many Apple fans here in the Tom Bihn forums. In this thread I am asking for suggestions regarding accessories and apps for my iPod-Touch. As KarlJ observed in another thread, I have never been to Macworld. I bet some of you have and many of you have great ideas for how to get the most out of an iPod Touch.
I re-purposed a leather zipper grip from a Dayrunner planner to serve as a wrap for my earbuds cord.
I have the I Heart Radio, SHOUTcast, Pandora, Facebook, Twitterific, all of which were free. I did pay for TuneIn TRadio and so far I like it. I came aware of it because I am a RadioTime Premium customer.
What does everyone use for apps and what accessories have you found useful?
Okay, in answer to the original thread, if I understood correctly, you might be looking for something that can be carried with a lanyard like the Tom Bihn Passport Pouch? If that's the case (pun), you might consider something like the Golla Raft Pouch (http://store.everythingicafe.com/golla-raft-pouch/4A193A5336.htm#useropinions).
BindApple (http://bindapple.com/) sometimes has some pretty good reviews of various things.
That should get you started. Enjoy your new toy!
All the above are free.
Enigmo - This game is fun but I am terrible at it.
Gowalla- Like FourSquare but prettier.
BeejiveIM- For ALL you instant messaging needs.
Urbanspoon- I haven't found a good restaurant on here yet but I like the slot machine noise it makes.
Skee-Ball- Another really addicting game I'm terrible at.
Siri- Finds restaurants, movie theaters, movie times and so much more. It's like your personal life assistant.
If I had to pick a favorite app (and I mean add-on app, not the basics like email, calendar, etc) I'd have to say Instapaper. I went ahead and coughed up for the paid version, and I love it.
Most often I use it when I get emails with links in them. I open the email, check out the link quickly, if it looks good I'll mark it using Read Later (which is Instapaper's browser app), and then I can read it at a more appropriate time (try not to distract myself at work too much).
The paid version allows me to keep many many links...I should find out how many (I am pretty sure there is a limit). The free version you can only keep 10 or 12. You can bookmark websites using your browser on computer or iPhone.

Meigan McManus
I really enjoy being out in the field with clients.
Meigan McManus is in her fourth and final semester in the CEE department's M.S. program in environmental engineering. She received an undergraduate degree in environmental science from the University of Virginia, but in her last semester took a course in stormwater engineering and realized that she wanted to switch fields. She already knew that she wanted to work with stormwater and low-impact development, and she realized environmental engineering would be the best path for her to pursue in order to do that kind of work. She was attracted to UMD and our CEE department by Professor Allen Davis's work with bioretention cells and other stormwater best practices. Davis is now her master's thesis advisor.
Meigan's research involves bioretention cells, or rain gardens. She is looking at what happens when road salt washes into these biorentention cells in winter. Do the cells still work just as well filtering out nitrogen and phosphorous? Or does the road salt hinder this process? Her research suggests that road salt may cause short-term harm to the cells' ability to filter out pollutants, but that in the long run the cells are resilient enough that there is no lasting damage. Her research is partly funded by the Maryland State Highway Administration. Davis also presented research that Meigan had worked on at the International Urban Drainage Conference in Prague this past fall.
Meigan feels that being able to talk to other people in the CEE department—both her fellow students and faculty--- about their experiences has been incredibly beneficial, particularly in filling gaps in her experience due to her not having an engineering Bachelor's degree. At the same time, her environmental science background has given her a step up in some aspects of her work, due to her in-depth knowledge of biology and ecology, and her ability to view all her coursework through the lens of sustainability. Her favorite class in the department has been Davis's Process Dynamics class, which she describes as "very challenging and very rewarding."
Meigan also feels that the department is very diverse in comparison with other engineering departments, and observes that the gender balance in her classes is "relatively even." She attributes this diversity partly to the ethos of Environmental Engineering, which she says promotes an attitude of "giving back" to the environment and the community that appeals to many women and other minorities.
Meigan is also the President of CEE's Graduate Student Council, and in this role she organizes academic and career-oriented events for her peers. A recent event, put on with the help of Chris Villas in IT, focused on free reference management software. An event toward the end of the semester will address salary negotiations, a pressing concern for many graduate students who will be finishing their studies this semester.
Meigan has also played the violin for seventeen years, and plays in the UMD Gamer's Symphony Orchestra, which plays exclusively video game music. They will be playing at the Kennedy Center in March. She says that being part of the orchestra is a great outlet for her, as it provides a change of pace from her role as a graduate student. Between her various commitments, she does not have a lot of free time, but she practices stress management by making time every day to do the things she enjoys, like going for a run or cooking. As her role in the Gamer's Orchestra suggests, she also enjoys video games, especially the Legend of Zelda series.
After graduation, Meigan hopes to pursue consulting work for companies or government agencies that are working to reduce pollutants in stormwater, whether by creating a rain garden or restoring a stream. "I really enjoy being out in the field with clients," she says. Equipped with the tools she has gained at UMD, she is sure to be able to do just that.

Multiculturalism à la Russe?
Here's an interview I just did with RIA-Novosti's Valdai Club. It originally appeared here: http://valdaiclub.com/culture/52720.html.
In your opinion, is there any tension between ethnic Russians and so-called Muslim communities in large cites like Moscow and Saint Petersburg?
Sure, of course there is tension. I think there are different kinds of tension, depending on the communities. One of the more visible forms is tension between migrants from the Caucasus and Russians in the major cities. But not just in the major cities. A few years ago, we saw the riots in Kondopoga. So you mentioned Moscow and St. Petersburg, but it goes beyond them, there are a lot of smaller communities too, and in places where there's a sizable presence of different groups, there can be tension.
The tension comes from both sides. On the one hand, there are migrants coming in, who are trying to preserve a somewhat different culture from what they're finding in the new place. And so that leads to resistance from the people who have lived there longer – from the dominant culture, let's say. But on the other hand, the migrants are responding to discrimination from the majority group, so there are sources of tension on both sides.
Does Russia have a thoughtful ethnic policy? Or do Russian authorities try to solve problems ad hoc?
There is a policy, but it's somewhat rudimentary. It's more of an inertial policy, in that rather than actively trying to shape the situation, it's continuing policies that are partially left over from the Soviet Union, and partially left over from the Yeltsin period. So Russia still has the big overarching set of institutions with ethnic regions, for example, left over from the Soviet Union, and it really hasn't been modified very much in terms of how these republics operate. On the regional level, there's less freedom to implement policies on ethnic culture and language than there was in the Yeltsin period. But it's more a matter of degree, rather than a categorical difference.
On the other hand, there were changes from the Soviet to the Yeltsin period. For example, eliminating the requirement to list one's nationality in forms and in the internal passport made it easier for people to change their ethnic identity, if they chose to do so. But that was something that was implemented already in 1997 or '98. And so, what's been going on since then is the political leadership trying not to rock the boat too much.
Apart from politics and political rights in the USSR what is worthy in the idea of Soviet supranational identity?
I think it's a necessary idea that any country that wants to maintain itself as a united country needs to have some identity that includes everyone who lives there. So the Soviet identity, then this Rossiskaya identity that came in after the collapse of the Soviet Union, were very much needed. The innovation is not this supra-ethnic identity, because there are lots of countries in the world that do this. Let's say South Africa has a lot of different ethnic groups, each of which has an ethnic identity, but there's also an idea that everyone is also a citizen of South Africa, so there's this distinction between ethnic identity and what we might call national identity. That's common around the world.
The Soviet innovation was to try to make a different kind of category, this idea of the Soviet people – Sovetsky narod – where it was being promoted concurrently with ethnic identities and for a period of time almost as an alternative to those identities. It didn't last long enough to really change identities. And it was countered, because there wasn't any real way for people to shift to just the Soviet identity. So in that sense, it didn't really turn into an overarching identity that everyone could accept. But if it were not for the need for people to state their nationality in their passports, etc, in a few more decades it could have led to the creation of a real supra-ethnic identity. I don't know if this would have been a good thing or not, but it would certainly have led to a very different political environment.
Can you see any voids in Russian legislation pertinent to ethnic policy? Which norms and acts need to be adjusted in order to regulate relations between ethnic communities in Russia?
I don't think that necessarily legislation is what is needed. I see it more in the realm of policy rather than law, so what is needed, to my mind, is more effective measures to integrate newcomers to a city or a town with people who have lived there for a while, in terms of education and mechanisms for adjustment. I'm not sure that a legal change, a big law, would be necessary.
What would be very much counterproductive is if the government followed through on the occasional proposals to get rid of ethnic republics and replace them with non-ethnic regions, such as having Kazanskaya oblast instead of Tatarstan. If the government started from a completely blank slate, then that might be an option, although it would lead very quickly to assimilation of minorities, so that would certainly not be a good thing for the minority groups. But in the current situation where ethnic republics already exist, it's a recipe for instability, not just negatively affecting just the minority groups, but also leading to tension and conflict.
So I don't think that a grand new law to change relations between ethnic groups is the way to go. What Russia needs instead is more grass-roots measures to help minority groups adjust to their new environment, together with efforts to train the police not to discriminate against minority groups, because like I said, it works both ways; the police's biased attitude towards minority groups and migrants certainly aggravates their grievances.

Is Tatarstan Facing a Surge of Religious Extremism?
I am now blogging occasionally at the Atlantic Sentinel on broader Russia-related issues. I'll cross-post here for ease of access. Here's a post on religious extremism in Tatarstan.
I recently came across an article that argues that Tatarstan is facing an Islamization scenario akin to what has already occurred in Ingushetia and Dagestan. It reports on a talk given at a conference on ethnic and religious tolerance recently held in Kazan. Rais Suleimanov, the deputy director of the Center for Eurasian and International Studies at the Kazan Financial University, points out that youth comprise 40 percent of people who regularly attend mosque in the region. Yana Amelina, the head of the Caucasus department at the Center and another conference participant, notes that radical Islam has over the last few years replaced ethnic separatism as the dominant anti-state ideology in the Caucasus and is now spreading into the Volga region.
When I was last in Kazan two years ago, I was struck by the sheer number of young women wearing "Islamic" clothing and young men with those beards that act as markers of Islamic identity in the FSU. This was in stark contrast to previous visits, when everyone (and especially young people) wore European style clothing and hair styles. The number of people with such Islamic markers was also much higher in Kazan two years ago than in my visit to Baku last week.
Of course, wearing traditional clothing or a beard is not a sign that one is a wahhabi extremist (though it might be interpreted as such a sign by the local authorities). But I think there is no doubt that young people are more religious now than they were 5-10 years ago and that the religion they are following is not the "traditional (Hanafi) Islam" of the area but less moderate imports from the Middle East.
But this does not mean that they are all ready to take up arms against the government or support some kind of Islamic Caliphate. The authorities would take that interpretation at their own peril — if they start repressing religious Tatars, they may end up promoting more violence than if the people were left alone to worship as they please.
The proposal in the article that the government should reject any attempts at dialog with the "wahhabi lobby" in Russia and instead ban all "wahhabi activity" seems to be particularly counterproductive in this regard. This is the kind of thing that was tried in places like Kabardino-Balkaria 5-6 years ago and only led to more people taking up arms against the authorities, because of a desire for revenge against authorities who humiliated them or repressed their relatives. Those who follow this topic may well remember the story about Russian interior ministry operatives going into mosques and forcibly shaving people or carving crosses into their hair. The net result of these actions was a rapid increase in anti-government attitudes, followed by Islamic radicalism, and then a spike in violence in the region.
The regional authorities could shoot themselves in the foot by taking excessively harsh measures against non-violent but pious Muslims who reject the traditional Islamic leadership in the region in favor of strands of Islam imported from the Middle East. In that case, one could see the formation of violent bands whose goal is revenge against those who humiliated or hurt them.
If, on the other hand, followers of Salafi Islam in Tatarstan are monitored but not persecuted, the chances for a significant surge of religiously-based violence in the region is pretty remote.
Violence in the Caucasus is due to a combination of religious extremism, a hopeless economic situation, and a perception that the local authorities are all crooks. Tatarstan may have more religious extremists than it used to, but its economic situation is pretty good by Russian standards and its authorities are less blatantly corrupt than those in the North Caucasus. Unless we start seeing massive unemployment among young Muslim men in the Volga region, I don't think we should worry about the kind of violence and instability that we see in Dagestan or Ingushetia spreading to Tatarstan.
There will be occasional disenchanted Tatar extremists who want to fight, but they will continue to do what they have been doing for the last decade — they'll go off to the Caucasus, or to Afghanistan, and fight there. Tatarstan itself, as well as the entire Volga region, will become more religious, to be sure, but will nonetheless remain fairly stable and non-violent for the foreseeable future.

A few memories of 2013 for my mum & Nick, who are rarely here to see for themselves. In 2014 I'm going to be dreaming of more borders ... and more flowers. Happy New Year to anyone else who stops by!
What a fantastic selection of photos, love your mirror and your painted chair and table. Your flowers are beautiful and the scenery is stunning, seeing it in all the seasons is wonderful. Happy New Year to you and yours!


Today, in honor of its 57th anniversary, we take a fond look at the Mickey Mouse Club — one of the most beloved shows in television history.
Most people don't know, however, that the Mickey Mouse Club actually began at the Fox Dome Theater in Ocean Park, California– where in-person Mickey Mouse Club meetings were held. This was an actual club where members attended Saturday meetings to participate in character-building activities and, of course, watch Mickey Mouse cartoons.
Soon, there were hundreds of Mickey Mouse clubs around the country and more than a million members at the height of their popularity. But it was not until 1955 that the original Mickey Mouse Club show hit the airwaves. After going off the air in 1959, other iterations of the show would follow in later years – one in the 1970s called the "new" Mickey Mouse Club and another one in the late 1980s that became known simply as MMC.
In addition to being a vital part of Disney and American culture, the Mickey Mouse Club continues to enjoy immense popularity. From Mickey Mouse Club merchandise, which continues to be popular at Disney theme parks and Disney Stores, to Disney Channel, which creates shows that positively influence kids — they have roots going back to the Mickey Mouse Club. If you need any more proof, have you ever wondered how many Mickey Mouse ears have been sold at our Disney parks? To date, more than 85 million around the world!
It's amazing to see how a little club led to a cultural phenomenon that continues to touch the hearts of new generations of fans. What are some of your favorite Mickey Mouse Club memories?

Q: Prove that the balanced hull of a compact subset $K$ of a Hausdorff TVS $E$ is compact Let $E$ be a topological vector space Hausdorff (over $\mathbb{C}$) and $K \subset E$ compact. I want to prove that: if $M$ is the balanced hull, that is, $M$ is smallest balanced set containing $K$, then $M$ is compact.
But I didn't have any idea how to proceed.
Remembering that: a subset $A$ of a vector space $E$ is said to be balanced if for every $x\in A $ and every $\lambda \in \mathbb{C}$, $|\lambda|\leq 1$, we have  $\lambda x \in A$.

A: Hint: Write $D$ for the set of complex numbers $z$ with $\lvert z\rvert \leq 1$. Then $M=DK$.

Q: Display at most one infobox (google maps v3) at a time There are many issues opend for the google maps v3 infobox.js, but almost all of them are without answeres or with few answeres that are not working in everybody cases.
I personally opend all the suggested questions and none of them was helpfull for me.

*

*Question 1

I am using infobox insted of default infowindow and i want when one infobox is opend (when i mouseover a marker) all the others should disapear. Also when i mouseout of the marker that infobox should disapear to. So its an application with lots of markers and when i mouse over one a infobox should apear and when i mouseover other marker, the previous infobox should disapear and the new one apears that corespund to the last marker.
Its obvious that i would like something very optimized since i will have more than 1000 markers on the map. (i guess a single infobox that will just change its content and its location)

*

*Quesiton 2

I want when the infobox apeares, all the markers on the map to be under it, and just that marker that i am mouseover it to be upon  the infobox. I tryed with set Zindex and all that i could but nothing. I also change the mapPane and floatPane, but its or under all of them or uppon all of them, but in any case its uppon others and under the current marker.
I will apreacite very much if somebody will come with an answere. Thx (i stay near)

A: If you want to see just one infobox, declare it as global variable
PSEUDOCODE
var globalib;

function setIb (){
   if (globalib && typeof globalib is INFOBOX) {
      globalib.close();
   }
   globalib = new Infobox...
...
}


If you find yourself wondering if you can do something, maybe you should add a little how.
According to Napoleon Hill, when Henry Ford said he wanted a V8 engine for new cars, his engineers told him it couldn't be done. For months they went on believing it impossible and for months he pressed them. After a year there was no change, but he pressed them. They tried various plans but were convinced it was impossible. And yet, despite their protests, the engineers were eventually able to find the solution and the V8 was born. Ford knew how to add a little how, just like Pillsbury did with cake mixes.
When cake mixes first hit the market all you had to do was add water. Despite the ease, sales were dismal. A man named Ernest Dichter did some analysis and found that the simplicity made homemakers at the time feel like they weren't contributing enough to the process. The manufacturers changed the formula to require eggs to be added and sales took off. Determining a customer's need made for a wildly successful product, something that 3M salesman Richard Drew discovered.
As Drew was selling sandpaper to mechanics he found that painting cars would often require touching up the job. The tape they used to protect certain areas would tear off the paint. He worked for years and was rebuffed by his boss who told him to focus on his sales. Drew worked on the problem in his spare time and eventually created masking tape. After just a few years, it became the number one product sold at 3M. Drew transformed the company because he knew to add a little how.
In all of these cases, many people would have quit. They would have tried something and stopped because they didn't get the results they wanted. All of these products went on to become wildly successful, and yet these people could have missed out on it. But they didn't because they knew how to add a little how.
Most people ask the question "will this work?" What a terrible question. It automatically assumes an impossibility. It says that it's possible that this isn't possible. Had Ford or Pillsbury or Drew asked that question we would have missed out on a great many things.
Instead, fix the question: add a little how.
Don't ask "will this work?" Ask "how will this work?" Don't find out if it can be done. Assume it can be and ask how to make it so. It may be difficult or even seem insurmountable, but it's better to know what it will take regardless of how challenging it is than to just assume it can't be done.
If you want to live the life of adventure you should have, you need to ask questions this way. It may not change the result, but it's a better way to maximize your life.
For instance, if you want to start your own business, don't say "will this work?" Instead ask "how will this work?" It may be that you find you have to have five million dollars and be willing to work 16 hours a day for the rest of your life. That may not be an option you want to take. But at least you are making a decision instead of the question making it for you.
And it will improve your critical thinking skills. You will see more opportunity and more possibility. You may realize that the five million you thought you needed was really for something that could be done a different way for pennies on the dollar. And you may find that you would then be able to hire two people instead of working the rest of your life away.
There is adventure out there. There is an exciting life waiting for you. If you want to live it to the fullest, when life gives you opportunities, add a little how. You may find that life is easier than you thought.


A great deal of Buddhist literature and scholarly writing about Buddhism of the past 150 years reflects, and indeed constructs, a historically unique modern Buddhism, even while purporting to represent ancient tradition, timeless teaching, or the essentials of Buddhism This literature, Asian as well as Western, weaves together the strands of different traditions to creaA great deal of Buddhist literature and scholarly writing about Buddhism of the past 150 years reflects, and indeed constructs, a historically unique modern Buddhism, even while purporting to represent ancient tradition, timeless teaching, or the essentials of Buddhism This literature, Asian as well as Western, weaves together the strands of different traditions to create a novel hybrid that brings Buddhism into alignment with many of the ideologies and sensibilities of the post Enlightenment West.In this book, David McMahan charts the development of this Buddhist modernism McMahan examines and analyzes a wide range of popular and scholarly writings produced by Buddhists around the globe He focuses on ideological and imaginative encounters between Buddhism and modernity, for example in the realms of science, mythology, literature, art, psychology, and religious pluralism He shows how certain themes cut across cultural and geographical contexts, and how this form of Buddhism has been created by multiple agents in a variety of times and places His position is critical but empathetic while he presents Buddhist modernism as a construction of numerous parties with varying interests, he does not reduce it to a mistake, a misrepresentation, or fabrication Rather, he presents it as a complex historical process constituted by a variety of responses sometimes trivial, often profound to some of the most important concerns of the modern era.
Popular Buddhist literature often represents Buddhism as a timeless (and in some sense post-cultural) teaching. Acutely sensitive to its internal diversity, Mcmahan convincingly analyzes contemporary Buddhism as a thoroughly culturally embedded hybrid of traditional sources and broader "discourses of modernity." Worthwhile if you are interested in religion and the history of ideas, a must if you are interested in contemporary Buddhist practice.
This helped me put my Buddhist practice (and hell, pretty much all of my Buddhistic tendencies) into context--I was surprised at just how much what I thought of as "purely" Buddhist practices and beliefs were directly inspired and augmented by Western Romantic literature and philosophy. Like all things, the dharma too is a protean, changeable thing, and Buddhism even now is changing into a new globalized philosophy, for better or worse.
This is an intense book that took me a long time to read (and hopefully digest). Many interesting questions and it has a depth and breath that is quite interesting. There is an academic element to it, there is also a kind of tour de force of ideas, but it also goes after more specifics at times. I really think it's an indispensable book for the modern Buddhist.
