Netanyahu's Recklessness Reaches New Heights
Thanks to Roman Emperors like Nero and Caligula the bar for madness while leading a nation has been set very high. However, it seems that Benjamin Netanyahu is approaching those very levels of madness and will stop at nothing in order to get his way regarding the Iran nuclear deal. In a latest display of absurd drama Israel disclosed an operation that was just now completed by the Israeli secret intelligence agency, the Mossad, in uncovering thousands of secret documents from the Iranian nuclear archives and bringing them from Tehran to Tel-Aviv. The Mossad as it happens is controlled by the Prime Minister himself. The Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot internet edition, Ynet as well as others just published a story that includes some of the documents for all to see and be impressed.
As the May 12 deadline for Trump to renew sanctions waivers under The Iran deal, or JCPOA - Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - approaches Netanyahu is becoming more creative in his attempts to demonize Iran. This is while his own military is murdering and maiming countless Palestinian protesters in Gaza over the last few weeks.
According to the story in Ynet, since the JCPOA was signed in 2015 all international intelligence agencies ceased their operations in Iran and were no longer collecting information regarding Iran's nuclear weapons program. Only the Mossad was working hard at finding the truth, and very conveniently, just two weeks before US President Donald Trump must decide whether or not to renew sanctions against 80 millions Iranians who have never attacked, occupied or threatened anyone - Netanyahu's Mossad uncovers and is in possession of over one hundred thousand documents, weighing a total of half a ton - and Mossad chief Yossi Cohen is on his way to Washington, DC to brief administration officials.
In 2002 Netanyahu testified in front of the United States Congress encouraging the members of congress to attack Iraq and get rid of Saddam Hussein and "guaranteeing" that this will bring positive change to the region. That war was of course catastrophic for Iraq and the Iraqi people, as well as for the entire region and cost the United Stated untold trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. Then as now, what Netanyahu wants is not regional stability but regional hegemony. He wants the region to see that Israel calls the shots and that those who play "nice" with Israel - like the regimes in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia - may continue to abuse their citizens, steal and kill to their heart's content and will not be lectured by the "enlightened West" about human rights. On the other hand, those who choose not to collaborate with Israel - countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen pay a heavy price.
In an outstanding piece in Hebrew in the progressive Israeli online magazine "Mekomit" journalist Orly Noy - who is originally from Iran and immigrated as a child - reviewed the responses in the Iranian press to Netanyahu's revelation of secret documents. "Most responded with typical humor and sarcasm," she writes, and she goes on to give examples: "We are doomed," said one responder, "Israel uncovered the Iranian plan to attack Israel with 50,000 paper airplanes." Another commentator congratulates the Israeli intelligence agencies for the improvement in their illustration skills - "going from a cartoon to shelves filled with binders."
It would be fair to say that Netanyahu is mad but not stupid. Demanding the US and indeed the rest of the world impose strict sanctions against Iran even though clearly there is no justification for sanctions is madness but it is a smart strategy for Israel and it has been working for years. Attacking Iran or getting the US to attack Iran is stupidity. The repercussions of an actual military attack on Iran would be far worse than anything the world has seen so far and it seems for now that both Israel and the US are aware that this is the case.
One should be concerned that the peacemaking in the Korean peninsula may be coming at the expense of Iran and the Middle East. If peace really comes to the Koreas then the US war machine and weapons manufacturers will need a place of tension and conflict to which they can turn and Iran and the Middle East are the perfect target.
A new Netanyahu supporter who is also vying for regional hegemony is the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman. He was recently quoted as saying that Iran's supreme leader "makes Hitler looks good." The absurdity of this remark comes to light when one looks at the genocide the Saudi regime is conducting in Yemen. The Crown Prince also said that the Palestinians must make peace with Israel or shut up. The question is make peace out of what? Peace can only come as a result of two sides of a conflict wishing to end the hostilities. The Palestinians, the Prince may be interested to learn, have been on the receiving end of the violence in their own land for seven decades. God only knows how many times they have tried and how many concessions they were prepared to make and still the aggressor, the Zionist regime that has been killing them is not in the least interested. Like the great Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani said, "it is like a conversation between the sword and the neck." At each point that Palestinians tried to talk with their oppressors the Zionist sword dug deeper and deeper into the Palestinian neck, to the point where it is barely hanging by a thread.
Now once again, the Zionist regime is creating a smoke screen to divert attention from their own crimes in Palestine and once again they use Iran. One measured response to Netanyahu's ridiculous claims of secret files, Federica Mogherini, the European Union's High Representative of for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said, "The JCPOA, the nuclear agreement, is not based on assumptions of good faith or trust - it is based on concrete commitments, verification mechanisms and a very strict monitoring of facts, done by the IAEA. The IAEA has published 10 reports, certifying that Iran has fully complied with its commitments." And she added that, "if any party and if any country has information of non-compliance, of any kind, it can and should address and channel this information to the proper, legitimate, recognized mechanisms, the IAEA and the Joint Commission [of the JCPOA] for the monitoring of the nuclear deal that I chair and that I convened just a couple of months ago. We have mechanisms in place to address eventual concerns." Mogherini concluded her statement by saying, "I have not seen from Prime Minister Netanyahu arguments for the moment on non-compliance, meaning violation by Iran of its nuclear commitments under the [nuclear] deal. And again, the deal was put in place exactly because there was no trust between the parties, otherwise we would not have required a nuclear deal to be put in place."
Once again the world will have to wait and see if the US administration will listen to reason and leave Iran alone, or whether they will join the Netanyahu madness and once again impose sanctions on a nation that has committed no offenses while letting the State of Israel get away with murder.

Buddhist Woman with Muslim father plea to be declared a non-Muslim rejected by Appeals Sharia-Court in Malaysia
PUTRAJAYA: A Selangor woman born to a Muslim father but raised as a Buddhist by her Buddhist mother has lost her application at the Court of Appeal to be declared a non-Muslim.
This was the unanimous decision of the court, presided by Justice Umi Kalthum alongside Justices Vernon Ong Lam Kiat and Suraya Othman.
The woman – Rozliza Ibrahim – claimed she was born out of wedlock to a Muslim father and her late Buddhist mother. She claimed that they were never legally married wanted the court to declare her a non-Muslim.
In her lawsuit, Rosliza sought declarations that the Islamic laws of Selangor do not apply to her and that the Syariah Court has no jurisdiction over her.
Earlier, Rosliza's counsel Aston Paiva said it was presumed she was born a Muslim based on an assumption that there was a valid marriage between her parents and her late mother converted to Islam.
He said she has been put in predicament by her parents and all she wanted was to get out of it.
Rosliza, 36, had named the Selangor government as the respondent in her appeal. The Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) was the intervener.
"The Syariah Court can only give a declaration when the person is no longer a Muslim but it cannot make an order that the person is not a Muslim," said Aston.
Meanwhile, Selangor state legal advisor Datuk Nik Suhaimi Nik Sulaiman argued that the appellant was considered a Muslim based on her identity card.
Nik Suhaimi said the best way for her to declare that she was not a Muslim was to go to the Syariah Court.
In the earlier High Court case, Rosliza provided evidence from the Federal Territories and Selangor religious authorities that neither she nor her mother ever converted to Islam and that the departments did not have records of a marriage between her biological parents.
Rosliza's mother had also signed a statutory declaration stating that she had never married Rosliza's father.
The High Court had in March 2016 dismissed Rosliza's application on grounds that she was not able to prove that her natural parents did not contract a Muslim marriage.
However, on October 11, 2016, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Rosliza and ordered her case to be heard again in the High Court before a different judge.
Given a second chance at the Shah Alam High Court, Rosliza went to the religious authorities of 10 other states in Malaysia (Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Penang, Perak, Perlis and Terengganu), and managed to get their confirmation that they did not have any records of her mother converting to become a Muslim, or of a Muslim marriage between her parents.
She even obtained the Immigration Department's confirmation that her mother did not have a passport, which is necessary for travel abroad.
However, the Shah Alam High Court on June 22, 2017 rejected Rosliza's bid, as her natural parents could have gotten married but did not register the marriage.
The Court of Appeal ruled today (April 25) that there was no error made by the Shah Alam High Court.

Angels are responsible for the singing in heaven. Thus, throughout the entire history of music, there are abundant examples of their singing in forms of music that are as diverse as hymns, alleluias, oratorios, and the representations of biblical scenes composed by musicians. And the topic goes beyond religious music because if fallen or redeemed angels cover the pages of entirely secular books of poetry and stories, it is also the case for music sheets and librettos. But beyond its musical connotation, the figure of Rilke's angel is established as a metaphor of contrast and horizon for human beings.

Mel B reveals Spice Girls' reaction following her Masked Singer unveiling and whether the other girls would sign up
The Masked Singer UK star has opened up about which of her fellow Spice Girls would take part on the show.
By Lauren Morris
Tuesday, 5th January 2021 at 5:44 pm
Spice Girls star Mel B has revealed how her fellow bandmates reacted after discovering she was the famous face behind Seahorse on The Masked Singer UK.
Mel B became the second celebrity to leave season two of the ITV competition on Saturday, after performing Kylie Minogue's La La La whilst disguised as a neon seahorse.
When asked whether any of her fellow Spice Girls had been in touch over the weekend, Mel B told RadioTimes.com and other press outlets: "Yeah, I got so many text messages going, 'Oh my God, I can't believe it was you!'
"I came to London a few times to rehearse to do the whole song and costume fitting and stuff and I would say to the girls, 'I'm in London' and then I'd have to remind myself: 'S**t – I can't tell them why I'm in London!'"
Mel B as Seahorse
Mel added that when her bandmates asked to meet up, she'd make excuses about rushing back to her Leeds home to see her children.
"They're like, 'You're just in and out [of London] in a day?' and I'm like, 'Yeah, sorry!' But now they're like, 'Oh, that's why you came down to London then.'"
"I don't think any of them thought that I could keep a secret, even though I'm very good at keeping secrets and I succeeded with this one."
Mel Brown – also known as Scary Spice – formed The Spice Girls alongside Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham back in 1994 and released multiple hit singles with Wannabe, Say You'll Be There and 2 Become 1.
When asked whether any of her bandmates would take part on The Masked Singer, she said she didn't think any of them "would be brave enough".

"I mean, I'm surprised none of them have been asked to do it before, maybe they have," she said. "But no, I think I'm the only one that would be up for it."
"When you think about it, it's such a crazy, wacky show, who would be up for it unless they've got a massive, ridiculous sense of humour and they can keep a secret? Because you literally can't tell anybody."
There are 10 celebrities remaining in The Masked Singer contestants line-up remaining in the competition following the departure of Mel B and singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who was revealed to be Alien in the series' first episode.

In God We Trust: Kentucky Defends Law Requiring State Homeland Security Officers To Proclaim God's Greatness
The lawsuit in Kentucky is working its way through the legal system contesting a 2006 state law requiring state homeland security material to recognize the necessity of faith in God for true security. State Rep. Tom Riner, an ordained Baptist minister, has defended the law out of his belief that "the safety and security of the state cannot be achieved apart from recognizing our dependence upon God."
Under KRS 39A.285, the General Assembly found:
(1) No government by itself can guarantee perfect security from acts of war or terrorism.
(2) The security and well-being of the public depend not just on government, but rest in large measure upon individual citizens of the Commonwealth and their level of understanding, preparation, and vigilance.
(3) The safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God as set forth in the public speeches and proclamations of American Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln's historic March 30, 1863, Presidential Proclamation urging Americans to pray and fast during one of the most dangerous hours in American history, and the text of President John F. Kennedy's November 22, 1963, national security speech which concluded: "For as was written long ago: 'Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.'"
The law requires such things as a plaque that reads, "The safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God."
KRS 39G.010(2)(a) further requires the executive director of the KOHS to:
Publicize the findings of the General Assembly stressing the dependence on Almighty God as being vital to the security of the Commonwealth by including the provisions of KRS 39A.285(3) in its agency training and educational materials. The executive director shall also be responsible for prominently displaying a permanent plaque at the entrance to the state's Emergency Operations Center stating the text of KRS 39A.285(3)[.]
The law is being challenged by Edwin Kagin and other atheists, but recently the state court of appeals ruled in favor of the state in a 2-1 panel decision. In the decision in Kentucky Office of Homeland Security v. Christerson, the panel ruled "We disagree with the trial court's assertion that the legislation seeks to place an affirmative duty upon the Commonwealth's citizenry to rely on "Almighty God" for protection of the Commonwealth. The legislation merely pays lip service to a commonly held belief in the puissance of God. The legislation complained of here does not seek to advance religion, nor does it have the effect of advancing religion, but instead seeks to recognize the historical reliance on God for protection."
The weight of authority has supported references to God on currency and in ceremonial settings. Here, however, state officers are being instructed to proclaim God's protection over Kentucky (it is not clear God's protection extends to nearby states like Tennessee or Virginia). As noted in a recent column, the separation of church and state appears increasingly out of vogue with American politicians. We now appear to have (or be close to having) a majority of anti-separation Supreme Court justices who favor a type of state-supported monotheism. Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in a 2005 dissent that there is a clear majority on the court that opposes "the demonstrably false principle that the government cannot favor religion over irreligion." He noted that "the three most popular religions in the United States, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam — which combined account for 97.7% of all believers — are monotheistic."

Q: Topology such that function is continuous if and only if the restriction is. Let $X$ be a topological space and $A \subset X$. If $f : X \to Y$ is continuous, then $f|_A$ is automatically continuous (where $A$ has been equipped with the subspace topology). What about the converse? That is, for a fixed $A \subset X$, is there a topology on $X$ such that $f : X \to Y$ is continuous whenever $f|_A : A \to Y$ is?

A: Any function $f : X \to Y$ with $X$ discrete is continuous.
For general $X$ and $Y$, for the converse to hold, you need $A$ to be an open subset of $X$. To see why, let $f = 1_A : X \to \{0,1\}$ be the indicator function
$$1_A(x) = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if}\ x \in A \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$
and endow $\{0,1\}$ with the discrete topology. Then $f|_A$ is constant, hence continuous, and so $A = f^{-1}(\{1\})$ is open in $X$.

A: What you are searching for is the so-called final topology. Imagine you have a set $X,$ a space $A$ and a map $i:A\to X.$ Then you can equip $X$ with a topology such that every function $g:X\to Y$ into a space $Y$ is continuous if and only if $g\circ i:A\to Y$ is continuous. It is easy to prove that a topology with this property is unique. We can also show that it exists, namely the open sets in $X$ are defined to be the sets $U$ such that $i^{-1}(U)$ is open in $A.$
In the case that $A$ is a subspace of $X$ and $i:A\hookrightarrow X$ is the embedding, then the restriction $f|_A$ can be expressed as the composition $f\circ i.$ Then the final topology will have as open sets all sets $U$ of $X$ such that $i^{-1}(U)=U\cap A$ is open in $A.$

If there was ever a hidden gem of a garden, this surely is it. In a fairly off the beaten track location in a part of Ireland often overlooked by tourists, you won't find tour buses or crowds here, but you will find a magical place apart that will linger in your memory.
This is a large garden, covering the best part of 100 acres, and including formal gardens, woodlands and a beautiful riverside walk. The waterlily covered lake is the centerpiece, surrounded now by hundreds of rare trees and great sweeps of rhodedendrons it was created during the famine years as part of a project to local employment. As you walk though the bog garden, the arboretum and the ice glen to the riverbank you will find numerous little shady nooks or gaps in the trees opening to vistas of the Blackstairs Mountains and everywhere wonderful specimen tress and shrubs careful arranged to compliment each other and the surrounding landscape.
Each month and season brings new delights, carpets of snowdrops and bluebells in early spring give way later to the dazzling yellows of daffodil time, from mid-May the vibrant colours of many varieties of rhododendron are to the fore while summer is a riot of colour with roses, azaleas, peonies, tiger lilies, cyclamens and colchicums among the many flowers vying for attention.
Although Altamount has many rare plants and trees in its collection, there is a strange sense that it all just grew naturally, testament to the skill and dedication of those who created the garden. Foremost among those were Feilding Lecky Watson, who was responsible for most of the planting around the lake, and his daughter Corona North, who lovingly maintained and expanded the garden until her death in 1999. She bequethed the estate to the nation and it is now in the care of the Parks and Wildlife service.
The beautiful old house is now, sadly, in a state of advancing decay. It provides a suitably romantic backdrop to this most romantic of gardens, but it would be lovely to see it restored and alive again.


1/2/09 - A new year, a fresh start?
The first of the year is kind of a joke. Most people treat it like it's a fresh start to everything. It's almost like they think that the previous 365 days (or 366 during years following a leap year) can just be wiped away.
I can see how that is somewhat true. The holidays for me are always a time of year where work slows down (way, way down), I have to use up the remainder of my vacation, and we get several days off in the months of November and December for holidays. Starting January 2nd, work picks right back up, days off are rare for holidays and I try to save as much vacation as possible for the summer. As far as that goes, it kind of does start over.
Years past, I know that new year's resolutions don't work. It was a coincidence that Cristi and I started an envelope budget on the first of the year, but we have actually kept that all year (and it has worked tremendously...if you want more details, just ask...). I've never known anyone to keep a resolution for more than a month or so, and typically it lasts no more than 2 weeks.
I say all that to say this. I think I might try a resolution or two this year. If they work out, it's a bonus, but if for some reasont hey don't, I'm not going to beat myself up. I was doing really good with fitness and eating habits until about 2 weeks ago. My workout partners got real busy (as did I) with travel, work, etc. so we basically quit working out. On top of that, with Thanksgiving and Christmas brings all sorts of good (and not healthy) food. All that together means that I'm not quite where I want to be.
Here are the things that I'm going to work on.
1) Start working out again. If the other guys can't do it, I have no excuse as I have all the equipment I need at home to get a very good workout every day.
2) Start getting up at a better time. Considering I am supposed to be at work by 8:00. 7:30 is not the best time to be waking up. I also need to work on getting out of bed when the alarm goes off instead of hitting snooze for an hour. This will make my wife very happy if I can fix it. Along the same lines, I need to start getting to bed at a better time, that should help with getting up earlier.
3) Eating better. I think this will come naturally once the holidays are over and all the leftovers are eaten, but it would be nice to start cooking again which would quite possibly save on grocery/food expense, it would allow to better control what I'm eating, and it would give me a reason to use some of the awesome Christmas gifts I received.
4) Really work on Grass Guys. This year, now that I have a few clients pretty much locked in for the next year, I can branch out a little and start expanding into the commerical area. This will take a bit of faith because I will be required to get liability insurance (which is not cheap). Of course, I've been gambling the last two years by not carrying it, but in all honesty, even as well as I did the last two seasons, I couldn't afford it to get it. For me to get the insurance and add this expense, if I don't truly focus on getting the commercial accounts, I'll be in the red for the 3rd year in a row which according to the IRS means that I will have to pay backtaxes on the last three years, filing my business as a hobby (this is of course assuming that I understand the tax laws).
That's the four I've got going, I think what I might do is try to post updates occassionaly on how I'm doing with these. It might give me a bit of motivation knowing that other people will know if I fail or not. It will also give me the ability to go back and look at my progress as well by keeping a log.
I would like to know more about the envelope budget. I heard you talking about it but never quite understood it.
sounds like a perfect excuse for another post. I'll make that one of the next things I discuss.

Using drop shipping to sell on eBay allows sellers to spend less time receiving, storing, packing, and shipping products. And it provides great financial advantages to high-end product sellers. Drop shipping is a great way to sell on eBay as long as you do it correctly.
A Drop shipper is a wholesaler who will ship items directly to customers on for online sellers. Many eBay sellers use drop shipping because it allows them to spend less time receiving, storing, packing, and shipping products. Instead, they simply list and sell the item on eBay, then contact their drop shipper to have the item sent to their customer.
The drop shipper ships the item and charges the wholesale cost, plus shipping, to the eBay seller. The eBay seller collects the profit without having ever touched the product. eBay sellers who sell high-end products use drop shipping because it allows them to sell high priced products without the financial burden of having to actually stock the items.
Think of the financial advantage to high-end product sellers when using drop shippers. Most eBay sellers keep at least enough stock on hand for one month of sales. If you have a product that sells for $500, it might cost you about $250 wholesale. If you sold 12 of these products every month, that means you would have to invest $3000 in inventory. With drop shipping your inventory costs are $0.
There are some cautions to drop shipping that you need to understand.
1. Because you don't ship the product yourself, you place your eBay feedback reputation in the drop shipper's hands. You must be sure the drop shipper will provide professional and timely order fulfillment for you.
2. You are not in control of your inventory. What if you sell an item on eBay and find that your drop shipper is out of stock? Before you list an item, login to your drop shipper's website to check their stock of the item you're going to list.
Even if you check your drop shipper's stock before you list an item, there is no guarantee the item will still be in stock when you sell it. The solution for this problem is that you're going to have to keep some inventory. If your drop shipper is out of stock, you simply ship your customer the product from your personal inventory. Then you don't list that product again until the drop shipper has restocked. Your inventory is not zero, but it's still a lot less than having to stock an entire month's worth of the product.
There are a lot of scammers on the Internet who claim to be drop shippers. The most important step is to find reputable drop shippers. Many eBay sellers use Worldwide Brands to find reputable drop shippers.
As a member of the Worldwide Brands website, you simply enter the brand name or type of product you want to list on eBay, and the site will find a drop shipper that has been preapproved by Worldwide Brands. Once you have selected your drop shipper, you need to contact them to request a dealer application.
o How soon do they ship after an order is placed?
o What shipping carrier do they use?
o Do they ship internationally?
o How do they notify you of shipments?
o Will the shipping label and invoice have your address or the drop shippers address?
o How do you pay for your products?
o How do they handle and notify you about back orders?
o How will they handle product returns from you or your customer?


If you've ever wanted to own a piece of space history, now's your chance. On July 20 — the 48th anniversary of Apollo 11's moon landing — Sotheby's will host its first "Space Exploration" live auction.
The iconic auction house has amassed a over a hundred artifacts and memorabilia from the space race, including actual equipment, a space suit, and many an astronaut-signed document.
The event is being hosted on eBay, where you can preview of the collection for yourself. It's estimated to be worth up to $5.3 million.
One of two known copies of an image of the complex impact crater Aristarchus, taken from Lunar Orbiter 5 in 1967. Comprised of four telephoto panoramas, each made of 8 silver gelatin prints. Starting bid: $80,000.00.
A 1987 presentation model of the Soviet Union's Vostok-1, the craft that carried Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961, making him the first human in space. This thing would just look really cool sitting on a shelf in your living room. Starting bid: $8,000.
A 1969 Snoopy Astronaut doll signed on the back by Apollo 10 Lunar Module Pilot Gene Cernan. Snoopy was once the mascot for the Manned Flight Awareness (MFA) Program. Starting bid. Starting bid: $1,600.
This rather innocuous-looking item is said to be the crème de la crème of the auction: a lunar sample bag from man's first steps on the moon. As nearly all other equipment from the Apollo 11 mission is stored at the Smithsonian, this item is incredibly rare. Minutes after touching down on the moon's surface, Neil Armstrong collected fragments of surface material and lunar rocks into this bag. Bonus: there are "remnants of lunar dust" left inside the bag. Starting bid: A whopping $1,600,000.
Cloth crew mission emblems, 12 total, dating back as far as 1967. Starting bid: $800.
A 1962 thermal coverlayer for the Gemini G1C Spacesuit, made for Gus Grissom, the first man to fly in space twice. Starting bid: $32,000.
Another huge item: the Apollo 13 flight plan. The flight plan log book contains cartoons and notes from Fred Haise, Jim Lovell and Jack Swigert taken during the dramatic Apollo 13 flight, including records of actions taken during the flight in great detail. Starting bid: $24,000.

Cats often find the oddest or most inconvenient places to curl up in for a snooze. It may come as no surprise that some cats prefer sleeping on their human's heads.
There are several theories as to why your cat likes to perch on your head for a nap. Here are some of them.
Heat rises, so the top of your head is a warm place. Cats will look for external heat sources to maintain their body temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit while sleeping.
If you are a restless sleeper and toss and turn a bit, your head is more stable and your cat may view it as the safest place to sleep, out of the way of swinging legs.
Perhaps your cat finds your scent, particularly the smell of your hair comforting, giving him/her a sense of security.
Ohio State University's College of Veterinary Medicine Indoor Pet Initiative tells us that cats have a different sleep cycle than cats we and some other mammals do. In the wild, cats need to seek prey often during a day. They require rest between each hunt. Our pets are programmed the same as their ancestors although they have no need to hunt.
If you find your cat's sleeping habits annoying, you can try this before bedtime.
Grab a toy and have your cat chase it. After a good workout, feed your cat. After eating, s/he will more than likely attend to grooming and then go to sleep.
Remember though that training takes time and patience. If you are consistent, your cat will love the attention and will soon follow your routine.

Motorcycles on screen
Posted by Robert Hughes ● 22 Nov 2020
In association with the Gallery's major summer exhibition 'The Motorcycle: Design, Art, Desire', the Australian Cinémathèque at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) presents the free program 'Motorcycles on Screen', which explores the rich history of the vehicle in cinema, from the silent era to today.
'The Motorcycle' exhibition was in Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) from 28 November 2020 until 26 April 2021.
Film: Easy Rider

Harley-Davidson Knucklehead Chopper c.1973 (engine: 1941)
The chopper is a type of customised motorcycle that emerged in California in the late 1950s. It is perhaps the most extreme of all custom motorcycle styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified ('chopped'), or from scratch. These custom bikes had exuberant paintwork, indulgent chrome, wildly extended front forks and high, 'ape-hanger' handlebars, famously featured in Dennis Hopper's 1969 film Easy Rider.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, filmmakers have been drawn to the uniquely cinematic appeal of the motorcycle. The breakneck speed, the unmistakable designs, the ravenously revving engines: motorcycles provide myriad aesthetic possibilities for the screen. Beyond the sound and fury of the bikes themselves, the exoticism of biker gangs and the utilitarian usefulness of motorcycles as common transport offer bases for tales of great danger alongside incisive portraits of life on the ground.
Blending the seminal Hollywood classics that helped define motorcycles in the popular Western imagination with lesser known but equally captivating entries in the film canon, 'Motorcycles on Screen' dives into portrayals of the early years of motorcycling, and examines what possibilities may lie ahead of us in the future. It looks at how motorcycles and motorcycle culture have been used in cinema to depict ideas of freedom, danger and fraternity around the world, and how the motorcycle has been used as a potent symbol in experimental filmmaking.
The Motorcycle Diaries 2004

While representations of motorcycles permeate almost every film genre, the power and relative unpredictability of early bikes meant their primary role was to facilitate stunts and comedy. Each of the big three screen clowns — Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd — took advantage of the machine's potential for slapstick pratfalls with destructive chase sequences in films such as Mabel at the Wheel 1914 and Get Out and Get Under 1920. Its capacity for adventure steered some of the first travel films (such as A Motorcycle Trip among the Clouds 1926), in which intrepid explorers would traverse remote parts of the world, whose cinematic language continues to be felt in road movies like The Motorcycle Diaries 2004.

Despite some notable exceptions — the resplendent official vehicle of Groucho Marx's Rufus T Firefly in Duck Soup 1933, for one — the sound era initially led to a quiet period for motorcycles on screen, as new technical limitations and audience tastes pivoted towards different kinds of drama. However, this would change in 1953 with two of the most indelible images in cinema history: Audrey Hepburn on a Vespa, joyously careening through the bustling streets in Roman Holiday; and Marlon Brando decked out in leather, the epitome of mid-century American cool, leaning back against his Triumph Thunderbird in The Wild One. These competing visions of freedom from the two burgeoning superstars would play a key role in defining the motorcycle as an instrument of rebellion in popular culture for decades to come.
That sense of rebellion would be potently harnessed in perhaps the most iconic screen portrait of motorcycle culture: Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider 1969. It is a film that understands and interlinks the thematic threads of freedom, danger and fraternity. Easy Rider acknowledges that these are not discrete ideas, but instead that they are often inescapably linked. As a story about outsiders on the open road, under threat and unable to assimilate into mainstream society, it also offers a counterculture parallel to the biker film genre.

Rumble Fish 1983

The rise of biker gangs in postwar America — driven in part by the yearning of returned servicemen, freshly trained in motorcycleriding, for camaraderie — provoked a surge of films showing (largely fictionalised) accounts of life and death within their cloistered worlds. This fascination would spread internationally with films such as the Japanese Stray Cat Rock series, which follows an all-female gang of bikers battling it out in Shinjuku, and the Australian cult classic, Stone 1974. Filmmakers were fascinated by biker gangs not only for the dramatic possibilities in fatal rivalries and criminal enterprises, but also because of the bonds shared between members of the groups. Films such as The Loveless 1981 and Rumble Fish 1983 explore these intimate ties and how personal and group identity can blur together within communities.
Akira 1988

The Wild Goose Lake 2019

'Motorcycles on Screen' also looks ahead for motorcycles, presenting speculative visions of the designs and roles of bikes in future societies. From the custom vehicles mounted in the Mad Max films to the light cycles of Tron 1982, through to the striking red bike Kaneda rides through Neo Tokyo in Akira 1988, the practicality and dynamism of motorcycles means they regularly play a central part in shaping filmmakers' representations of futuristic worlds.
It is important to note, too, that the history of motorcycles in cinema is still being written: new entries to the canon continue to emerge in exciting and unexpected ways. Films such as Dylan River's riveting documentary Finke: There and Back 2018, which surveys the famed dirt bike race in the Australian outback, and Diao Yinan's Chinese crime saga The Wild Goose Lake 2019, showcase the ongoing breadth and richness of these machines on screen.

Listed below are ten conditions to obtain a very easy loaning process you will be significantly better equipped to discover the funding you will need for your small business.
A term loan is the heart of small business funding. It really is a fixed sum of cash you loan from the lender to put into the business you need to pay back in payments (daily, every week or monthly). Typically small business loans are widely used for a several purposes, like purchasing equipment or deploying it as working capital. You may get a term loan from all sorts of sources, from banking institutions to online lenders. For instance, the Small Business Administration (SBA) will provide business owners a number of term loans, from catastrophe loans to commercial real real estate loans.
The business line of credit benefits are very much the same to a credit card. If you are approved for a business line of credit, you are absolve to draw finances as you will need up to specified limitation. You merely might need to repay the interest on the funds received. A small business line of credit is a well balanced solution for just about any business; it provides you with overall flexibility in how you utilize finances. The cash has to be used for business expenditures.
The largest percentage of individuals take into account that APR is the exact same with interest rate, however this isn't the situation. APR stands for annual percent rate contains the interest plus additional bills, similar to the origination fee, paperwork costs, and closing service charge.
APR offers you additional broad take a look at the amount a small business loan can cost you. The interest for a loan can be baffling, specifically once the fees are excessive. Just be sure to really know what you are saying yes to.
The definition of the term is what it looks like: this is a fee the lending company charges once you enter the loan legal contract. It covers the expenses of establishing and processing the loan and is normally indicated as a percentage of the full total loan amount, which include 2.5%, or a genuine amount, like $500.
Prior to negotiating the financing for your small business, carefully review maturation date of the loan, credit line, or various other kind of financing in question. That maturation time is when you will need to have repaid the principal and interest amount and bills fully. Look out for balloon loans, that specifically require small repayments for each and every installment; but then request a sizable very last repayment to repay the remainder. In fact, repaying the loan completely on that maturation night out will be quite difficult, if not improbable, for many small businesses.
The process of amortization is when you progressively repay loan with periodic repayments of the full amount plus interest. However, as you get approved for a small business loan, you will likely get an amortization plan. A loan that is amortized mainly shows what you are paying for the principal, interest, fees, and other bills for every and each and every payment before loan is settled completely. It's likely that you will like taking a look at the amortization plan even more as you enter compensation.
Small business loan broker companies improve navigating the funding process. In essence, their purpose is to hook up you with financing which works with your business finances. For instance, you will need to ask about loan broker fees and equate to other individuals. You must inquire about the full total loan cost-not only the interest. The loan broker must provide details about how loans are researched and re-evaluated. Similarly, you need to question the way the loan broker is paid out; check out if he is incentivized to support one loan sort over the other.
Subsequently, you got away a small business loan. You essentially put that cash to work. So, your business is being talked about within your vicinity and you are able to repay those funds back early on. The penalty is a prepayment penalty or fee for repaying your loan rather early on. In the event you think that is distinguishing, you're not alone. Luckily for us, many loan companies do not demand a penalty for prepayment, nevertheless, you should certainly peruse for one prior to going for any loan.
You are going to fully grasp a factor rate when you obtain a short term loan or business cash advance, that is also an advance which is paid back by firmly taking a percentage of your everyday credit card sales and profits. These advance loans are a great alternative in the event you need an immediate funds infusion, nevertheless they are costly. Specific factors reflects the amount you or are able to pay on your loan. These factor rates usually range from 1.1 to at a minimum of 1.5, predicated on the age and finance well being of your organization and typical regular monthly credit card gross sales.
According to the SBA, collateral for small business funding is "personal and business possessions which may be provided in the event the funds produced by the small business is not enough to repay the loan". There are lots of small business loan products that want some form of collateral, with a few differences. Collateral can be just about anything which range from real estate to equipment.

An apparatus and method to connect to an electrode is claimed. The apparatus includes a first mating member and a second mating member having first and second openings. A resilient body portion connects the first and second mating members.
This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of prior filed, co-pending provisional application No. 60/119,677 filed Feb. 11, 1999, and hereby incorporates that disclosure by reference.
The invention relates to an apparatus that can be connected to an electrode on a patient, and a method of connecting a device to an electrode on a patient. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing an electrode connector having a low profile and low contact resistance.
Electrical treatment and diagnostic techniques are well established in the medical field. For example, it has become well recognized that electrical impulses can be employed for desired medical therapeutic and physical rehabilitative purposes. Further, critical care monitoring of infants and other patients requiring constant care frequently involve electrode based monitoring of electrophysiological signals.
Numerous electrode configurations have been described in the prior art. Typical configurations frequently encountered in acute care of premature infants include use of a garment-type snap, or use of a grabber, which operates like a clothespin. A problem encountered with using garment-type snaps is that snaps tend to disconnect easily. A problem encountered with grabbers is that grabbers do not have a low profile, a feature particularly desirable in dealing with infants. Further, traditional snaps and grabbers often have high contact resistance, leading to poor electrical conductivity.
Accordingly, the invention provides an apparatus and method to provide a reliable, low profile connection to patient electrodes. The invention allows an apparatus to be connected to an electrode attached to a patient. The apparatus has first and second mating members shaped to form first and second openings. The first and second mating members lie on planes substantially parallel to one another. The apparatus also includes a body portion connecting the first and second mating members. The body portion is integrally formed with the first and second mating members, and has a low profile allowing the connector to be particularly desirable for neonatal patients. When the body portion is compressed, the first and second openings are substantially aligned. The body portion may further include an opening allowing a lead wire to be electrically connected to the body portion.
It is an advantage of the invention to provide a method and apparatus to provide reliable electrical and mechanical connections to electrodes.
It is another advantage of the invention to provide a method and apparatus of providing a low profile connection to electrodes.
It is another advantage of the invention to provide a connector for electrodes having low contact resistance.
It is another advantage of the invention to provide a connector for electrodes that is lightweight.
It is another advantage of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for providing a connector to electrodes having a large contact surface.

Before one embodiment of the invention is explained in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the construction and the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or being carried out in various ways. Also it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purposes of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
FIG. 1 illustrates a connector device 10 embodying the invention, or more particularly, a raw metal connector before being overmolded with a plastic shell 60, which will be discussed below. The connector device 10 is formed from a single piece of electrically conductive metal. In a preferred embodiment, the metal is nickel-plated stainless steel.
The connector device 10 includes a first mating member 14 and a second mating member 18 arcuately shaped to form first and second openings 22 and 26, respectively. The first and second mating members 14 and 18 are connected by a resilient or flexible body portion 30, and positioned in substantially parallel planes. In the preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the thickness of first and second mating members 14 and 18 is approximately 0.015 inches.
The body portion 30 of the device 10 includes first and second side ridged portions 34 and 38 and center portion 40 connecting side ridged portions 34 and 38. The center portion 40 and side ridged portions 34 and 38 are generally perpendicular to the first and second mating members 14 and 18. First and second side ridged portions 34 and 38 are arcuately shaped to form first and second side openings 46 and 50. The body portion 30 also includes a center opening 42, from which a lead wire may be attached.
The body portion 30, side portions 34 and 38 and the center portion 40 each have a height. In a preferred embodiment, the height of the side portions 34 and 38 is greater than the height of the body portion 30. This allows a user of the device 10 to easily compress the side portions 34 and 38 together, towards one another. In a preferred embodiment, the height of the body portion 30 is less than about 0.175 inches, and preferably about 0.167 inches, which gives the device 10 a low profile. Minimizing the size of the connector device 10 decreases the total weight of the connector device 10. In a preferred embodiment, the weight of the connector device 10 is less than about 0.0286 ounces, and preferably about 0.0282 ounces. Minimizing the height profile and weight of the connector device 10 is particularly desirable for neonatal electrodes.
In a preferred embodiment, an insulating shell 60 can be molded over the connector device 10 as shown in FIG. 7A and 7B. The shell 60, preferably a plastic such as polypropylene, is molded onto the connector device 10 such that the electrode wire 62 protrudes through the center opening 42. In a preferred embodiment, the electrode wire 62 is soldered onto the connector device 10 through the center opening 42.
FIG. 2 shows the device 10, insulated by the shell 60. In FIG. 2, the device 10 is proximate, but not attached, to a mating electrode stud 54 that is electrically connected and attached to an electrode 56 on a patient. The electrode stud 54 has a protruding portion 58 integrally formed with the body of the electrode stud 54.
The connector device 10 is shown in the relaxed position in FIG. 2, wherein the first and second mating members 14 and 18 only partially overlap, and the first and second openings 22 and 26 only partially align. The connector device 10 is biased towards the relaxed position. In the relaxed position, the partial alignment of the openings 22 and 26 does not allow the device 10 to be placed over the electrode stud 54.
When the first and second side portions 34 and 38 are compressed together, as shown in FIG. 3, the first and second side mating members 14 and 18 substantially completely overlap, and the first and second openings 22 and 26 are substantially aligned. Approximately 2.3 pounds of force is necessary to position the device in the compressed position. In a preferred embodiment, the distance between the first and second mating members 14 and 18 is approximately 0.003 millimeters when the connector device is in the compressed position. When the openings 22 and 26 are substantially aligned, the device 10 can be positioned over the protruding portion 58 of the electrode stud 54. Once the device 10 is placed over the electrode stud 54, and the protruding portion 58 is situated within the openings 22 and 26 the ridged side portions 34 and 38 are released, and the bias forced connector device 10 causes side portions 34 and 38 to move away from one another into the relaxed position. As a result, the first and second mating members 14 and 18, and the openings 22 and 26 located therein, engage the protruding portion 58 of the electrode stud 54, thereby attaching the device 10 to the electrode stud 54 as shown in FIG. 4.
When the connector device 10 is attached to the electrode stud 54, an electrical connection is made such that the patient's physiological signals may be monitored. A lead wire 62 can be inserted into the center opening 42 of the connector device 10 to transfer electrical signals captured by the electrode via the electrode stud 54 and connector device 10 to a monitor (not shown). In a preferred embodiment, the lead wire 62 is soldered onto the connector device 10 through the center opening 42.
Because the connector device 10 is biased toward the open, relaxed position, pull action is not required to open or remove the connector device 10 from the protruding portion 58 of the electrode stud 54. Instead, to remove the attached connector device 10, the ridged side portions 34 and 38 must again be compressed to release the tension created by the engagement of the mating members 14 and 18 with the electrode stud 54 when the device 10 is attached to the electrode stud 54.
FIG. 8A illustrates the contact resistance of the invention. FIG. 9B is a chart illustrating the contact resistance of prior art electrode connectors. As indicated, the contact resistance of the invention is lower than that of prior art connectors. Accordingly, the connector device 10 of the invention maintains better electrical contact than prior art connectors. The contact resistance of the connector of the invention is preferably less than about 0.010 ohms. In a preferred embodiment, the contact resistance is approximately 0.05 ohms.
Various other features and advantages of the invention are set forth in the following claims.

Indigo is shared for support and triumph.
I am grateful that Diandra and her mother Idelle have written this book. It is a true gift. -Susan C.
Enlightened Indigo Child will open the eyes of parents who are overwhelmed with diagnostic learning disability labels placed upon their sensitive children; and will enlighten the children that they too can finally feel comfortable in their own skin.
This book helped me to better understand what it feels like to be an Indigo Child as well as be a parent of an Indigo Child. -Dr. Seema Khaneja - Board Certified Pediatrician and Integrative Doctor of Eastern/Western Medicine.
This book is long overdue, for the Indigo subject has always been something academic: a revelation of human evolvement. This one is different, since it has been written by an Indigo and her parent with a down-to-earth perspective of living the experience.
So it's the "other side" of the coin, so to speak, what this whole Indigo evolution may be about. Indeed "INDIGOS ARE PEOPLE TOO!" (the title of Chapter 4), especially when you are reminded that they are now becoming adults!
With all the drugs being pushed on everyone these days, it's nice to know that there are alternative, healthier, non toxic ways to treat whatever the problem may be, and the "side effects" are only positive!!!! -Sherri E.
We will assist you on your journey to becoming an Enlightened Indigo Child too!
This book has been such an eye opener, to say the least. I'm healthier and happier. Must read for everyone!
I most definitely felt the healing energy this book has.
Earth really is our home planet, and all we need to do is fine tune our lifestyle to thrive. This book has solutions.
Success is within reach if we keep an open mind to possibilities outside of society's customary way of thinking.

If you could save only one thing, one possession, what would you choose?
R&H, I expect you have some ideas on this.
Why does this item have a special meaning that you would pick it above everything else?
Obviously it would be something that can't be bought.
Any getaway package has to include family pix, financial papers, a change of underwear, wallet.
I don't have any furniture that I care about, no original art that I would miss, no rare china or flatware.
I would save, as I did from H Andrew, a piggy that I carved from sugar pine when I was nine. It's pretty good! That's what I would save again.
Now what a nice item to pick to save.
My husband and I talked about this subject one evening. I would take my strand of pearls. He would take his rifle. They sound like very different items but both of them were our first grown- up gifts. My Dad gave me the pearls for my 10th birthday and Jer's Dad gave him the rifle for his 9th birthday. Well worn, well loved.
Nice choices. Stuff you can't possibly replace.
I can't imagine my dad giving me a gun. But he sold them. And he was proud of my "sharpshooter" medals from summer camp.
The pearls were waiting for me on my dresser when we arrived in Yokohama in 1954.
Jer's gun sounds as outrageous as pearls for a 10 year old but he was in charge of keeping the wookchuck population down. Tractors have a nasty tendancy to roll over when they hit woodchuck holes. I think he took his job quite seriously. He's a good shot but no fun things like medals.
Pam, it would have to be my computer! :-) What would I do without it? What did I do before I had it??
All my family photographs are stored on it, that would be the only other thing I could think of. Everything else I own is replaceable.
Your computer is like your pocketbook, it's filled with your personal things, things that would take time and effort to replace. Just the thought of finding all the bookmarks again, and reloading all that software...ugh!
If you've ever lost or had stolena pocketbook, you know what I mean.
My first thought was my photo album, but then I thought back to the Northridge earthquake in 1994. Once I was finally able to get out of my bed all I could think about was finding my Dachshund. I somehow found her in the darkness and grabbed her up in my arms and we rode out the rest of the quake in the doorway. She's not really a possession, but definately a priority.
Well, I was assuming it meant all pets were accounted for. Otherwise, my dogs would always be my first priority. Hell, I'd run through a burning building to save my dogs. They are my "other" kids.
Okay, then if I don't have to include my dogs as the possession, then I think it would have to be this diamond ring that I bought from an antique store some years back.
This ring is from the 1940's, set in an art deco style and although not necessarily extremely valuable I have some strange attachment to it. When I first saw it I was just drawn to it, and I always sensed that it had significant meaning to the original owner.
This makes me feel really shallow, but I do think I would grab for that silly ring instead of my photo album or other personal papers!
List what you'd take somewhere handy - now, as well as phone numbers of family & friends. After having been in a couple of evacuation situations, I can honestly attest to the fact that your brain does not function like you'd think it would in a time like that. You can't remember the usual numbers, and the things that you pack are bizarre.
VERY good advice Flora. Ever since the Northridge quake I sleep with shoes and flashlight next to the bed, and I have an extensive earthquake kit outside of the house, but I don't have phone numbers, etc. in one easy place.
In times of stress your mind doesn't think clearly. After the earthquake I spent an hour trying to dig out the shop vac so I could start to clean up the mess, knowing full well there was no electricity to run the darned thing.
Good advice. I had three hurricane scares - and never made a list. How stupid of me. When Andrew hit, I just grabbed a few things and got out.
My advice: If possible, do not panic. In something like an earthquake, I guess everyone panics - for good reason. But where you have some warning, like a hurricane, take an extra few minutes and think.
In Andrew, all the broadcasts said "Get out now. Do not get stuck on I-95 during the hurricane." So I panicked and ran. I could have taken another hour at no personal risk, and filled a couple of pillow cases with stuff.
