Open-area Smoke Imaging Detection (OSID) by Xtralis is a new technology designed specifically for these environments, enabling early detection and response to save lives and prevent service disruptions.
OSID uses a sophisticated algorithm to map and compare the strength of infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light signals from detectors configured in the space, regardless of cavernous or odd shapes.
OSID also reduces the costs of installation and maintenance as the Emitter batteries have more than a five-year life.

Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston's 'The Morning Show' Looks Seriously Intense
The series will premiere this fall.
This just in: Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston are going to appear on a morning news show together!
Well, sort of. The award-winning actresses are actually starring in Apple's upcoming original series, The Morning Show. The fictional project (which is probably as close as we'll get to a real talk show hosted by Reese and Jennifer) has generated a lot of buzz since it first began filming last fall. Now, it's finally coming to the small screen.
Apple just released the first official trailer for the high-stakes series and it looks very intense. Steve smashes a TV, Jennifer acts like a total boss, and Reese has brown hair. In other words, this is definitely going to be worth watching.
Here's everything you need to know about The Morning Show.
Who is in "The Morning Show" cast?
NOAH BERGER
The Morning Show will be lead by Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carell. The star-studded cast also includes Billy Crudup, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bel Powley, Karen Pittman, and Desean Terry. Reese, Jennifer, and Steve are rumored to play co-anchors on a daily news show, but the roles of the other actors in the series have not yet been revealed.
What is 'The Morning Show' about?
Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV
The plot of The Morning Show has been described as an inside look at the lives of the people who greet America on their television screens each morning. It aims to give a glimpse at what happens behind the camera of your favorite shows and explore the power dynamics present in the televised news industry today.
"We take an honest look at the complex relationships between women and men in the workplace and we engage in the conversation people are a little too afraid to have unless they are behind closed doors," Jennifer said at The Morning Show's 2019 media preview event in March.
Reese described the series as a "high-velocity thrill ride in which we pose questions without easy answers and shine a light on the fault lines in our society at this very complicated cultural moment."
Brian Stelter's book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV will also offer additional insight to the series.
Is there a trailer yet?
Yes! While the show's first teaser only showed shots of the set and photos of the stars, a newly released clip tells viewers a lot more about what to expect from the series. It appears that Steve's character was fired from a news show for unknown reasons, and Jennifer's character (who producers think is getting too old) was left behind to pick up the pieces. Then, Reese's (brunette!) character arrives and shakes everything up.
According to Apple TV's official description for the trailer, "The Morning Show follows the free fall of an early morning newscast in the wake of a scandal, and its struggle to survive in an era when news arrives in the palm of your hand."
Sign. Us. Up.
When does "The Morning Show" premiere?
There is no official release date for The Morning Show, but the series is set to premiere sometime in fall 2019.
How can I watch?
The Morning Show will be exclusively available to stream on Apple TV+. The new video subscription service—which will launch on the Apple TV app this fall—will feature a mix of original series, movies, and documentaries.

Q: Writing own (kind of) DNS Server with PHP I'm asking myself if it is possible to send the ip address from my router to a php script on a web hosting package (not an own server), safe it (like http://www.axelteichmann.de/DynamicDNS/index-DynDNS-mit-Fritzbox.php) and relay all incoming traffic on port 80 http and 443 https (via socket_create_listen) to the safed ip address, where my local owncloud instance (on a more powerful machine) is waiting for incoming request. I'm not quite sure if this would work. Does anyone knows that?

A: I found an interesting post on: http://www.phpgangsta.de/client-ip-problem-bei-reverse-proxy-betrieb
But it's also requiring changes on the underlying server.

Think a minute…When 2 wolves fight over a place and territory, they end their fight in a very unusual way. The wolf that finally knows he can't win, surrenders by rolling over on his back and sticking out his neck to the teeth of the other wolf.
Then by instinct, the wolf who wins does not kill the one that surrenders. So the loser actually wins his life back.
You and I have people and things that we would fight to keep and protect—maybe even give our lives for. We can't imagine ever letting go of these people and things that mean so much to us.
It reminds me of an experiment that was done by putting peanuts inside a cage. The door of the cage was very small, so only a monkey's open, empty hand could fit through. When the monkey saw the peanuts inside the cage, it would reach through the small door to grab them.
But then when it tried to pull its fist full of peanuts out the cage door, it couldn't fit through. The only way for the monkey to free himself from the trap was simply to let go of the peanuts. Yet, not one of the monkeys would let go of the peanuts they loved so much. So they all stayed trapped.
What is it you love most? For many of us it's our family. Or, it might be your job and financial security, your house and possessions, or your health. Maybe it's your friends and fun times you have with them. These are the things that are hardest for us to let go of. But God doesn't want us to let go and completely leave these things.
He wants us to give them to Him, so He can take good care of them. Remember, God gave you these things in the first place, and He can take better care of them than you can.
It's only when our hands are finally free of holding on to these things, that we can take hold of God's hand. It's only then you'll realize and enjoy the happiness you missed before.

I have been writing a column in Mandala since its first tabloid edition in 1987, the cover featuring Lama Zopa Rinpoche holding a very small Lama Osel in his arms. Twelve years later I think it might be time for a change for all of us, so this will be my last column for some time.
As you read on you might notice some sentences repeated from the column in the July-August issue of Mandala. The reason has a lot to do with the fact that I went to school in Melbourne with the editor of this magazine, the Venerable Robina Courtin, and we are very fond of each other.
After a few solid Australianisms, we cut a deal: Ven. Robina agreed to print this column unedited. Besides the repetition, I have some delicate points to make so anyone wishing to complain must blame only me, not Mandala.
In 1983 Owen Cole came back from Sera Monastery in south India with photos of the little monks with great pustulous scabby wet sores all over their heads. "We have to do something," he said. For the next five years I fundraised through what we called The Bleeding Hearts Charity Ball. We sank a borewell at Sera Je School and in 1984 provided health and education services to the Sewa Semiti Leprosy patients, a community on the Delhi fringe. Mrs. Sunita Kakaria, who has long been a special benefactor to the FPMT, managed the project. It was her wisdom to buy the community a color television set: "They have nothing to do, they get bored, then they fight," she told me.
From 1985 on we set up partnership projects with the Department of Health of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile in Dharamsala. At the remote Manipat settlement in Madhya Pradesh, FPMT built and staffed a health clinic, sank seven borewells and funded a follow-up health and hygiene education program.
Our next project site was Jampa Ling settlement north of Pokhara in Nepal, where we built 27 toilets with septic tanks. The Australian government agency, AusAID, granted dollar-for-dollar subsidies on all projects except at Sera: exclusive communities are ineligible. Matched funding for Manipat and Jampa Ling was raised by Melbourne's very active Tibet Welfare Group and Artists for Human Rights in Brisbane.
The current project at Bir and Chaundra settlements three hours north of Dharamsala has just sunk two borewells and built 160 toilets. This is the first sanitation the community of 4,000 people has ever received in 30 years. FPMT and AusAID provided the majority of the funding for this work, the rest being provided by the Tibetan Government and the local community. FPMT's funds came from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who offered to various projects the offerings made to him during his Australian visit in 1996.
We sent our volunteer project officer, Sheridan Lacey, to do a site report at Bir. She came back with the human stories of the difficulties of mothers with babies at hip, taking them to toilet on open filthy ground where cobras lurk in summer and new infections every wet season. "Thank you for our water and toilets," they repeated over and over. Each toilet was personally decorated by its two sharing families. Skin infections and diarrheal conditions account for half the diseases in Tibetan settlements.
But it is getting incredibly hard to find funding – all overseas aid agencies are experiencing this. To make matters worse for the Tibetans, Save the Children Foundation UK, for many years the Department of Health's major sponsor, has ceased that arrangement due to strategic redeployment.
This year, through my position as Director/Overseas Aid for FPMT Australia Ltd., I turned to our own community of students for the first time, sending a newsletter and pay slip around the Australian centers. We received less than $2,000 in return, for which we sincerely thank those who gave, but it is not enough. So now I am bringing the matter to our international community.
There is no doubt Western students of Tibetan Buddhism have a special love and gratitude towards the Tibetan people and are also very willing to put their hands into their pockets for them. Every center is rich with opportunities to donate to any number of excellent programs involving Tibetans, most popularly, individual sponsorship of Sangha members.
Traditionally monks and nuns in Tibet were supported by their families who provided food, clothing, firewood, blankets and anything else the person might require. The monastery provided tea during sponsored pujas and not much else. The result of this was that some lived very well and others nearly starved to death. Geshe Rabten Rinpoche has written about how very poor, ill-fed and cold he was as a young monk.
When Tibetan monks first met Westerners in the early 1970s, the "rich Injies" naturally wanted to help, and sponsorship flourished. Lama Yeshe knew very well how the monastic system worked and encouraged sponsorship of individual Kopan monks, but when the money came in it was always pooled.
Many geshes in the West have dutifully established sponsorship programs for the monks belonging to their own khamtsens – monastic hostels. While this can only be considered a very good thing, especially as the khamtsens receive many new arrivals, it is also true that those khamtsens which do not have an Injie connection do not receive any of these funds. So even to this day you still find well-maintained khamtsens with their own shower blocks and healthy well-nourished monks right next to khamtsens with the barest necessities. Nunneries are generally several steps behind monasteries in development.
Our own lamas went for the big picture: Lama Yeshe was a leading sponsor of the Sera Je Assembly Hall and Lama Zopa Rinpoche founded the Sera Food Fund, which supplements the diet of everyone, without discrimination. Lama Yeshe also pointedly asked the students to sponsor Western Sangha, saying the Tibetans had their own culture but often Western Sangha members had nobody. It is not popular to sponsor Western Sangha.
Well over ten years ago I "acquired" my first Tibetan, a layman with a sick wife and young family. I felt honored to be able to give them something and conscientiously saved and went without to do so. A few years ago I was in their settlement and dropped in, to find this man now had two houses and his children had completed tertiary education. His wife was now very well. But he only ever told me tales of great hardship.
I could see he was embarrassed to be busted and on his wall I saw photos of other Westerners I knew who it turned out were also sponsoring this family. My photo wasn't there – perhaps my A$300 or so a year wasn't enough.
It is not uncommon for Westerners to sponsor what they rather patronizingly call "my Tibetan," to continue paying for years and never disengage out of some kind of sentimentality with the small price of a Losar card and maybe a photo. When I told "my Tibetan" that I was happy to see he no longer needed my small donation, I never received another Losar card.
I feel there is a lot of money from Westerners going into what I call "the white envelope trade," which, given the pressing demand of new arrivals and unfashionable causes – such as water and sanitation projects – the generous students should perhaps rethink. My experience is not an isolated incident: an officer of the Tibetan government told me a story of Westerners who insisted on sending a regular stipend to "their" Tibetans, utterly unheeding of his advice that these families were now quite wealthy and their donation paid for approximately one dozen bottles of foreign beer.
I feel very proud of the water and sanitation projects we have completed in the name of our gurus, Lama Yeshe, Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Lama Tenzin Osel Rinpoche. His Holiness the Dalai Lama constantly exhorts Westerners to do social welfare work, give direct help and truthfully, our projects must have saved many, many lives, especially those of small children.
But now I have to find more money or give up. I have a strong intuition the money I'm looking for is that which is currently being misdirected through the white envelope trade. Let me assure I do not think sponsorship of individuals is a bad thing. I just think some of it has become irrelevant – and no one knows how much money is actually involved because of the privacy of the arrangements.
The other reason I might have to stop is that my karma to be able to do this work may be over. However, I leave behind me FPMT Australia Ltd.'s Company Secretary Wendy White, who is now truly expert in the relevant procedures, and Sheridan who can do the site work. Given funding, we can continue to bring clean water and practical sanitation to the settlements.
When were you last without your usual water and sanitation facilities? Was it inconvenient, annoying, unhealthy or life-threatening? Were very old people or new babies involved? How long did it endure – two days, two weeks, ten years? Please, consider.

I'm so excited that I received the Herbal Essence VoxBox free thanks to Influenster. I immediately tried the conditioner. It smelled so good and felt so good cleaning my hair. It left a wonderful clean smell that I can't help but keep smelling it!
not good for color treated hair, it left my hair greasy and unmanageable! Would not recommend if you have thick hair, and dont need much moisture added to your hair to begin with. Also if you easily get back up in your hair!
This conditioner is nice and thick. Really helped to make detangling much easier for me, especially since I have curly and easily knotted hair. Has a great smell, not too strong but not too faint. Once my hair dried, I noticed it was a lot smoother and softer than usual. Would recommend!

Home > Latter-day Saint Blog Posts > What Matters Most
by Pokemon (09/20/2009 4:31 pm)
A few days have gone by since the passing of my wonderful Grandpa. He was a very good man. He was so concerned with everyone around him. He was always so selfless and loving. Countless times I received checks in the mail from him for no reason at all when I needed them the most. He was so in tune to the Spirit. Although he was old in age his death came suddenly and unexpectedly. I will miss him.
With his passing and the timely watching of this video I have been drawn to reflect upon "what matters most". Just now I sit here thinking of my Grandpa, listening to President Monson's words as I type, along with the wonderful sound of my young family in the background and am reminded so profoundly of what matters most.
Let us always remember "what is important and what is not." Let us show our loved ones how much we love and appreciate them. Let us cherish them.

Q: ExpandableListView populate from raw I can do nothing to populate my Expandable List. I want to make child items clickable and after click - you go to another activity, where you can see an information of the child.
So, I know how to do this with List View, but not with the Expandable. (E.G. look there). There this is realized by text files (.txt) which is located in res/raw. I really need to do that. HELP PLEASE! I'm waiting for the SAVIOR! :)

In anticipation of repaving my Vista x64 machine with Windows 7 after the MSDN release on August 6, I've prepared my wish list of hardware upgrades I'd like to do at the same time I pave the machine with the new OS.
Should the family financial officer (FFO) decline to approve my purchase request, I'll at least sneak in the SSD purchase.
What plans do you have for your Windows 7 upgrade?
Thank you for your interest in Windows® Azure™.
Your invitation code is xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.
You can now sign up for a Windows Azure account at http://lx.azure.microsoft.com/fs. Please keep this email in a safe place.
You have received this email because you registered as being interested in the Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Windows Azure. As a participant in the Windows Azure CTP program, you will continue to receive emails related to that program unless you end your participation by emailing azinvite@microsoft.com with "END PARTICIPATION" in the subject line.
To ensure proper delivery of future updates please add azinvite@microsoft.com to your address book or safe-senders list.
I'm very excited to begin learning to develop against Azure in all my spare time. If I learn anything worthy of note here, I'll share it. Just too many things to dabble in and too little time.
Will the Enterprise Adopt Silverlight 3 for LOB?
I've just downloaded the bits and will begin exploring the new controls and just how easy it is or is not to build applications. My only criteria at the moment is whether or not the applications are as easy to build as a Windows Forms application. Obviously there are far more important evaluation criteria, but I'm wondering whether my stated criteria here will be the more common question raised in the enterprise. That is, can we build apps faster, easier, better with this? If not, I'm not sure the enterprise will get too awfully excited about it unless a clear case can be made for replacing the often time consuming, error prone web application development process with a simpler Silverlight 3 development process.
One way or another, I'm excited about Silverlight 3 and eager to dive in and have some fun.

Sometimes it can't be prevented: Treatment in a hospital may become necessary in case of severe illness or an accident. Like in Britain, you have to be admitted by a doctor, except in emergencies. AOK members have a large choice here in Germany: They may freely select a clinic from all those licensed to provide medical care as part of a statutory health care insurance. The health care insurance takes care of the costs for the medical treatment, nursing, accommodation and catering services. Unlike in Britain, you have to make a small supplementary payment for hospital treatment in Germany. Simply present your AOK health card on admission to the hospital.
You must only present your AOK health card for your hospital stay to be settled. The hospital will contact the AOK directly, so you do not receive a bill for your treatment. There is a surcharge for a hospital stay incurred for all statutory health insurance companies. The member share is 10 euros per day for 28 days at most within any calendar year. Children and youths under 18 years of age do not pay this surcharge. And by the way, any additional payments made in the hospital are considered for exemptions from paying the surcharge. Talk to us – we are here to help.
Should the family doctor or the specialist think that a treatment in hospital is necessary, he will fill out a hospital admission form. You can select the clinic freely. You will receive the highest level of medical attention and treatment in the hospital.


On Tuesday 31st March 2015 we gathered in the Boot & Flogger for a tasting to say goodbye to Magnus, who is returning to Sweden. The theme was initially 'Blind and informal', to which DRT added some birthday 1965s.
Magnus: thank you for arranging a splendid evening, in the B&F, led by an excellent magnum of Graham 1966, and joined by other good bottles. Company, amusement, Port: what more could a boy want?
And how often does one taste five 1965s side-by-side? I think it was the first time I've tasted more than one '65 in a sitting.
Upon reflection in the cold light of morning, we under-rated Mike's very youthful Warre 1966, which has decades left in it.
Mike and Magnus: you have been emailed pictures of your TNs. Please acknowledge receipt.
On departure we found, abandoned and seemingly unloved, an unopened Offley 1985. It is in my care.
Farewell to Magnus! An evening of excellent company and very nice port.

No guesses who left that behind Thank you for rescuing it.
A splendid evening indeed and thank you to Magnus for allowing me to hijack his farewell tasting.
Thanks to all who attended for helping me celebrate my 50th birthday. It was interesting to visit the 1965s side by side, which was a first for me. All of you are invited to my 100th birthday tasting.
The Malvedos was splendid. I need more of that in my lifetime.
PS: I must remember to tell my family what a proper birthday cake should consist of.
Is that a birthday sausage patty to go with your steak & egg?
Glenn E. wrote: Is that a birthday sausage patty to go with your steak & egg?
No. My steak was served with chips. That is my Savoury - gammon with fried egg and black pudding (hold the chips).
For me it was a very close race between GM65, W66 and G66 with the latter just edging it past the other two, mostly on account of its completeness, silky and unctuous mouthfeel. Unfathomably almost, the W66 appeared to have some distance still to go before reaching perfect maturity. In a way the biggest praise ought to go to GM65, a wine which I have had the privilege to taste twice (both from Derek's fabled stash), and which has been stunning each time. For a non-declared vintage (SQVPs excluded), this wine not only holds its own (with some ease actually) against ports from more exalted years, but it also has the ability to outshine even the strongest of competition.
In the end I scored G66 as my WOTN, somewhat uncouthly perhaps having brought it myself, with GM65 and W66 tied in second place scoring them (i think) at 93, 92 and 92, which better reflects the hair's width margin by which G66 edged it.
It was also a real pleasure to meet TPF's resident pie-maker whose wares I hope to have the pleasure of sampling in the future - who knows?
On a final note, a big thank you to Kasha at B&F who went above and beyond in making us comfortable. Really excellent service I must say and I will definitely recommend B&F to everyone I know. It's a great bolt hole away from the hustle and bustle of the high street joints.
I will no doubt visit London again and it would be nice to meet up when in town.

Union Mural
SC Picture Project / Union County / Union Mural
Many South Carolinians associate native artist Blue Sky with his popular public murals and sculptures in downtown Columbia, such as Tunnel Vision and Busted Plug. Yet his dramatic works can be viewed in other parts of the state, such as this trompe l'oeil painting in Union titled Union Mural.
F. Everett Leigh of Union, 2016 © Do Not Use Without Written Consent
The mural, begun in 2007 and installed in 2008, depicts a train transporting textiles for Union Cotton Mills. Completed in 1894, Union Cotton Mills was the first textile mill in Union County and the first in South Carolina designed by noted textile mill engineer William Burroughs Smith Whaley. His design firm, W.B. Smith Whaley and Company, is responsible for 15 new textile mills or major renovations and additions to existing mills in the state, including nearby Buffalo Mill, Newry Mill (also called Courtenay Mill) in Oconee County, and Granby Mill in Columbia.
Susan Buckley of Charleston © Do Not Use Without Written Consent
Blue Sky, a Columbia native, University of South Carolina alumnus, and recipient of the Order of the Palmetto, captures the spirit of the booming textile industry in the late nineteenth century in the above mural. It is painted on the back of a downtown building which has been occupied by various businesses over the years. Though the building faces Main Street, the mural actually can be seen behind the building on Sharpe Avenue.
Reflections on the Union Mural
Contributor F. Everett Leigh says: "In 2007, the famed artist and muralist Blue Sky visited Union and put his magic brushes on the rear wall of a Main Street building to recognize and honor the role of textiles and the railroad in Union's rich history."

Terracotta panels, including ones with aristocratic male and female figures peering out of small arched windows or niches, were an integral part of brick architecture of the Gupta period (320–c. 500). However, this small male bust was more likely used for household decoration. The narrow face, sensuous features, large earrings and wig-like hairstyle indicate a member of the urban class rather than a divine figure.

Q: Qual a unidade de medida das medidas CSS no react-native Ao criar um aplicativo coloquei os botões acertando pelo CSS com o layout, porém agora tenho que criar imagens para colocar no lugar destes botões.
Foi ai que me surgiu uma grande dúvida, pois as medidas do botão são:
botao: {
  width: 140,
  height: 140,
  marginLeft: 10,
  marginRight: 10,
  marginBottom: 20,
},

Porém esse 140 representa qual medida? 140px? Qual as medidas que devo usar na imagem?

A:
All dimensions in React Native are unitless, and represent density-independent pixels.
  https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/height-and-width.html

Traduzindo:

Todas as dimensões no React Native são adimensionais (sem unidade de medida) e representam pixels independentes de densidade (resolução).

O fator que multipla as unidades de medida e dá origem aos valores em pixel reais é chamada de pixel ratio pois é sempre a razão (ratio) entre duas densidades de pixels. Você pode obtê-lo através do método PixelRatio.get() (fonte: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/pixelratio.html).

Exemplificando como é o cálculo de pixel ratio, em sistemas Android existem seis densidades:

*

*ldpi: 120 dpi

*mdpi: 160 dpi

*hdpi: 240 dpi

*xhdpi: 320 dpi

*xxhdpi: 480 dpi

*xxxhdpi: 640 dpi

Uma unidade de medida no React Native equivale a exatamente 1 px em mdpi e para as demais resoluções você pode multiplicar pela razão entre a densidade de pixels da resolução atual e a densidade da resolução em mdpi. Assim, 1 equivaleria a 1 × 480 dpi/160 dpi px = 3 px em xxhdpi pois a pixel ratio é 480 dpi/160 dpi = 3.
Para iOS, a resolução padrão é de 163 dpi e as demais são múltiplos inteiros dela. Assim, 1 pode equivaler a 1 px, 2 px, 3 px etc.

Fundamental Orders Of Connecticut
Fundamental Orders of Connecticut (1639) Direct Democracy... A New Beginning In search of more fertile land and greater political and religious freedom, English settlers left the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630's and established three settlements along the banks of the Connecticut River: Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford.

William Penn William Penn was born and raised in England, but he is well known for what he did in the Americas. First and foremost, William Penn was a religious nonconformist and writer: he wrote numerous religious books over his lifetime. Second, Penn is responsible for the "holy experiment": the colony of Pennsylvania. He was a Quaker advocate, and as a proprietor had the opportunity to practice the Quaker Peace testimony. Penn was interested in religion from the time he was a child. When he w...
Colonies Right To Self Government
A case for the connection of America's colonial and revolutionary religious and political experiences to the basic principles of the Constitution can be readily made. One point in favor of this conclusion is the fact that most Americans at that time had little beside their experiences on which to base their political ideas. This is due to the lack of advanced schooling among common Americans at that time. Other points also concur with the main idea and make the theory of the connection plausible...

Women in Africa Timothy Veneylo November 26, 1995 History 387 In many parts of Africa, there is a large discrepancy in who controlled the resources, access to the economy, individual autonomy and central voice in the government between the men and the women. African men, for the most part, have the largest say in the activities of the country. When issues of concern arise, 'men's issues' usually became the issues of national concern, and those issues pertinent to women go to the back of everyone...
British Colonies
Between the settlement at Jamestown in 1607 and the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the most important change that occurred in the colonies was the extension of British ideals far beyond the practice in England itself. Changes in religion, economics, politics and social structures illustrate this Americanization of the transplanted Europeans. In a similar economic revolution, the colonies outgrew their mercantile relationship with the mother country and developed an expanding capitalist system of their...

You have shown endurance (2 months already) and a realistic goal (1 kg or 2 pounds per week). I'm pretty sure for you this is only a temporary setback and in a few more months you will reach your goal.

I hope you can keep exercising by swimming until your ankle heals. It would be sad if your weight-loss momentum were lost due to the injury.

I was able to lose that much weight by just having gallstone surgery,and a gallbladder removal surgery. Didn't eat for four days. It was much less painful than I expected.
Surewhatever 35
What does that have to do with OP's situation? Been there OP, I've broken my collar bone twice and ankle once- it always seems to happen when I'm getting really excited to work out and improve my life. Keep the ball rolling with any exercises you can do without using that part of your body. After your pain is manageable of course.
xllabraxasllx 17
I broke a bone in my foot right after graduating college in May. I wanted to begin focusing on my health since it's always been education constantly. So, I know how you feel, and it definitely sucks. I still can't do exercise involving my feet.
Wadlaen 21
Sounds good, and it's good that you've set a goal, and it sounds like you're focused enough to make it. I managed to lose 25 kg in five weeks some years ago, so if it's primarily weight-loss you want, I could recommend getting into a coma - but be aware there may be some side-effects...

The End of the Nation-State
By Jean-Marie Guéhenno
Translated by Victoria Elliott
University of Minnesota Press, 145 pages, $19.95
This is a very small book with very large aspirations. As a display of intellectual panache, it is also unmistakably European"the literary equivalent of a sleek fashion model gliding down the runway in Paris or Milan: thin, elegant, insouciant, slightly world-weary, and quite without visible means of support.
Unencumbered by evidence, data, or corroboration, The End of the Nation-State is an exercise in Big Think. The stated aim of Jean-Marie Guéhenno, a senior member of the French diplomatic corps, is to divine the zeitgeist of the new age emerging from the political and cultural upheaval revealed by the end of the Cold War. The result is less a tightly argued brief than a jumble of audacious speculations and bold assertions"some quite intriguing. In short, for those not put off by a whiff of Continental affectation, this book merits careful reading.
That 1989 marked an abrupt turning point in history has already established itself as a familiar cliché. Guéhenno accepts the cliché but gives it his own twist. What came to a halt in 1989, in his view, was not simply the Cold War or communism, but the era of the nation-state. We find ourselves today, writes the author, "living in the prehistory" of a new epoch, the product of economic globalization and the rapid spread of information technologies.
In the United States, figures as dissimilar as Bill Gates, Newt Gingrich, and Al Gore hype these phenomena as unalloyed blessings. Guéhenno is not so sure: Rather than perfecting our dreams of peace, prosperity, and freedom, in his view, they will subvert a political order that we have come to take for granted, ending the dominance of the nation-state just as the nation-state once superseded the authority of the Church.
With the onset of a global information society, according to Guehenno, boundaries become meaningless. The importance of territory dwindles. Belief in a collective destiny linking those sharing a common past disappears. As a result, traditional precepts rooted in that destiny become obsolete. Only information retains value. Calcified by habit and routine, the nation-state is ill-equipped to cope with this radically transformed environment. Even now, according to Guéhenno, the power formerly claimed by the state is shifting to a new medium of influence and authority: an impalpable but pervasive network of networks.
This demise of the nation-state signals the demise of conventional politics, a process already well advanced. What we mistake today for politics is mere procedure, activity with "no other object than the preservation of the rules of the game, the only agreed operating standard of a society without a goal." Politics survives only to the extent that it facilitates the operation of the network: reducing uncertainty, lowering transaction costs, and increasing "transparence." Thus, in the age of the network-"a world that is at once unified and deprived of a center""process replaces purpose.
Indeed, process is just about all that counts. Real influence resides in the hands of the lobbyists and lawyers who shape the intricate regulations that facilitate the network's unimpeded operation. We live in an age, observes Guéhenno, in which "the deal is hallowed as the only truth."
The role of professional politicians and their collaborators in the media is hardly more than theater, the management of "an ephemeral succession of perceptions, as the media choose to stage them." Yet this theater is not entirely without purpose. Proffering a constant diet of novelty and trivia diverts those who might otherwise be tempted to question the new status quo. After all, "an issue not talked about does not exist."
This emasculation of politics reflects the network's aversion to disruption. The new age places a premium on teamwork, uniformity, and passivity. For advanced societies, according to Guéhenno, "conformity is not an accident [or] a regrettable weakness . . . but a necessary condition of their smooth operation." The functioning of the network itself helps to reinforce conformity. "In the place of a structural hierarchy, it offers the benefits of teamwork. Instead of the polarity of power, it prefers an ever more advanced circulation of information, the object of which is to dissolve conflict by a multitude of precautionary microadjustments." The effective operation of the network"the highest imperative"demands that the individual be subsumed. Where Christianity teaches that "each man . . . is a consciousness, and that this consciousness is irreducible," the new age of networks requires the surrender of autonomy. As dedicated servants of the network, we become "people without principles." Our networked age functions "better than any human organization has ever functioned, but no one knows to what end."
Thus, the rise of the network perverts the concept of freedom. Although the advocates of the network promise ever expanding choices, freedom is actually emptied of content. "We are deprived not of liberty," writes Guéhenno, "but of the idea of liberty." "We have the feeling that we have never been as 'free,' and we pity our forefathers, who were subjected to all kinds of constraints that no longer bind us." Living in a time when "there are almost no taboos left," we take pride in having extricated ourselves from the bondage of intolerance and narrow-mindedness. Why then, the author asks, "does this liberty leave a taste of ashes in the mouth?"
For Guéhenno, therefore, the advent of the network gives rise to a system he does not hesitate to brand imperialist. Although velvet-gloved by the brutal standards of the twentieth century, this new imperialism is nonetheless insidious and dehumanizing.
Throughout his book, Guéhenno treats the triumph of this new imperial order as all but foreordained. As "nomads of modernity," we are no match for the technology that we have developed and unleashed. As a result, the author's conclusion"an abrupt summons to the barricades"comes across less as a ringing affirmation of man's primacy than as a forlorn attempt to offer a few crumbs of consolation.
"We have a revolution to accomplish," Guéhenno announces, "and this revolution is not of a political order, but a spiritual one." In the age of the network, he writes, religion must become "the last refuge of meaning."
Alas, the spirituality he proposes is patently bogus. For in calling for a spiritual revolution, the author patiently explains, "one must understand not the belief in a transcendence, a God, of principles, but far more modestly, that sum of rites and what might be called habits . . . [that] shape our behavior." As if to complete the circuit of ironies that will describe this new era"a world without a center, inhabited by people without principles, gagging on freedoms that have lost all meaning"Guéhenno offers this remedy: "religions without God."
"Virtually no one declares himself 'conservative' today," Guéhenno observes at one point, "for no one feels assured enough of the principles worth preserving." No one? As an admission that the last traces of conviction have disappeared from a once-proud intellectual tradition, the remark is a revealing one, perhaps more so than the author intends. Yet for a reader otherwise dazzled by grand pronouncements and pithy aphorisms, it puts the book nicely into perspective. Although The End of the Nation-State stands as a tribute to a residual capacity for analysis, it also constitutes a final abdication of any European claim to intellectual authority. "No one" will want to take its bleak diagnosis or insipid prescription too seriously.
