Generally considered the geographical center of the country, Kansas is a state rich in history, having served as home to diverse Native American tribes for thousands of years before European settlement. Once called "Bleeding Kansas" because of violent clashes between abolitionists and pro-slavery settlers, Kansas now carries the nickname the "Sunflower State," earned because of its massive production of sunflowers, corn, wheat, and sorghum. In addition to agriculture, the state is also known as an aviation hub. Sightseeing is easy, as wide-open spaces dominate the landscape of the western two-thirds of the state, which includes some of the only remaining native tallgrass prairie in the nation. Eastern Kansas contains rolling hills and most of the major cities, which draw tourism with their lively art, nightlife, and music scenes.


You can let us know a little bit about you in this thread. Feel free to share whatever you'd like, don't be afraid to express yourself! Jump in, this is a place for collaboration and community.
I am from NC, USA. I first saw your post on PA forums and thats how I went to your website. Absolutely great information that you have there.
From there I came to know about Orgonite - It get me so much interested in the stuff.
Also, your recipes for toothpaste is great as well. Trying different things now.
I so wanted to send you email from there, I want to know more about facial symmetry and all. I know you have listed some devices which can help but without any instructions or help, I won't be able to use them.
Another thing is : I don't have any issues with my jaw/teeth - so I can certainly live without doing this - but just was curious if that can do me any good.
Great, thanks for the first post! ;D Orgonite is an awesome invention isn't it? Have you been buying orgonite or making your own and have you noticed any effects from it so far?
By the way, for information about the therapy please email me at bstratt25@gmail.com. I'll tell you everything you'll need to know, and probably more. haha.
I did no yet made any orgonite myself - I bought couple from Ebay -- and I bought all the stuff to make orgonite myself- copper wire--metal scraps--molds--polyester fiber etc.
just been so busy lately -- will let you know.
I can't say if I noticed much difference from the orgonite that I bought from ebay - when I make my own- will let you know.
I will definitely send you email tomorrow sometime on the facial symmetry.
Wish you luck, of course you can always email me.

My Life in Football : The Autobiography by Kevin Keegan (NT)
Kevin Keegan is one of the greatest players in English football history, famed for his style on the pitch, his relentless ambition and passion for the game.
'And I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them. Love it.!!!'
Kevin Keegan, 1996
In My Life in Football Keegan tells the story of his remarkable rise through the sport, from the Peglers Brass Works reserve team in Doncaster to helping Liverpool become the kings of Europe, winning a Bundesliga title with Hamburg and captaining England. Keegan was recognised around the world as one of the sport's genuine superstars and remains the only Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or twice.
As a manager, Keegan's five-year spell in charge at Newcastle is now legendary; he led the club from the depths of the old Second Division to the brink of the Premier League title with a breathtaking vision and flamboyant style that saw his team dubbed 'The Entertainers'.
Fifty years since making his professional debut, Keegan tells the full story of the exhilarating highs and excruciating lows, from that epic battle with Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United in the 1995-6 season, as well as the pain of managing England and, finally, the shattering truth about his unhappy return to Newcastle in the controversial Mike Ashley era.
Brilliant, funny, passionate, deeply moving and incredibly honest, My Life in Football is the story of the miner's son from Doncaster who became a superstar and was known to his adoring fans as 'King Kev'.

A team led by investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and the Broad Institute has found that a gene mutation associated with several types of cancer also may be responsible for a rare but debilitating brain tumor called papillary craniopharyngioma. Their discovery, reported online in Nature Genetics, could lead to new therapies for this currently hard-to-treat tumor.
"We were delighted to find that the same BRAF mutation previously described in melanomas and other brain tumors appears to be driving the growth of these tumors," says Priscilla Brastianos, MD, of the MGH Cancer Center and the Broad Institute, co-corresponding author of the report. "BRAF inhibitors have shown great promise in treating patients with other tumors with this mutation, and we hope to quickly evaluate these drugs in patients with papillary craniopharyngioma in hopes of reducing the serious consequences of this disease."
Craniopharyngiomas arise at the base of the skull adjacent to the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus and other critical brain structures. Although they are not inherently aggressive tumors, because of their location they can significantly compromise vision and other neurologic and endocrine functions. The tumors cling to brain structures, usually making surgical removal challenging, and radiation therapy can cause vascular abnormalities or other tumors.
There are two subtypes of craniopharyngiomas - adamantinomatous tumors, which are more common in children, and papillary tumors, usually seen in adults. Recent studies have associated mutations in an oncogene called CTNNB1 with adamantinomatous tumors, but prior to this study, no information was available about the molecular drivers of the papillary subtype. In their search for possible mutations associated with papillary tumors, the research team first performed whole exome sequencing of 15 craniopharyngiomas - 12 adamantinomatous and 3 papillary. Among adamantinomatous tumors the previously identified CTNNB1 mutation was found in 11 of the 12 samples; and for the first time, the known tumor-associated BRAF mutation was identified in all three papillary tumors.
The researchers followed that finding with a targeted genotyping of tumor samples from an additional 95 patients. Among tested papillary tumors, 94 percent had the BRAF mutation, while 96 percent of the adamantinomatous tumors had the CTNNB1 mutation. The investigators also confirmed that both types of tumors had very few other mutations and that the BRAF or CTNNB1 mutations were present in all tumor cells, suggesting they occurred early in tumor development.
"There are currently no medical therapies available for craniopharyngiomas, but potent compounds that block BRAF signaling are in hand. So we are very hopeful that these targeted therapies can drastically alter the management of these tumors," says Sandro Santagata, MD, PhD, BWH Department of Pathology and a co-corresponding author of the Nature Genetics paper. "Inhibitors of the signaling pathway controlled by CTNNB1 that are currently in clinical trials should be investigated for adamantinomatous tumors, and we're planning to evaluate the BRAF inhibitors that have had promising results against melanoma for treatment of papillary craniopharyngiomas."
Santagata is an assistant professor of Pathology, and Brastianos is an instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Along with Brastianos, the co-lead authors of the report are Amaro Taylor-Weiner, Broad Institute, and Peter Manley, MD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Mark Kieran, MD, PhD, DFCI and Gad Getz, PhD, MGH Pathology and Broad Institute, are co-senior authors. David Louis, MD, chief of MGH Pathology, also made significant contributions to the study, as did additional collaborators from MGH, BWH, DFCI, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pennsylvania, and other institutions. Support for the study includes grants from Pedals for Pediatrics and the Jared Branfman Sunflowers for Life Foundation for Pediatric Brain and Spinal Cord Research.
Brigham and Women's Hospital is a 793-bed nonprofit teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School and a founding member of Partners HealthCare. BWH is an international leader in basic, clinical and translational research on human diseases, and has more than 1,000 physician-investigators and renowned biomedical scientists and faculty supported by nearly $650 million in funding. For the last 25 years, BWH ranked second in research funding from the National Institutes of Health among independent hospitals.
The Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT was launched in 2004 to empower this generation of creative scientists to transform medicine. The Broad Institute seeks to describe all the molecular components of life and their connections; discover the molecular basis of major human diseases; develop effective new approaches to diagnostics and therapeutics; and disseminate discoveries, tools, methods and data openly to the entire scientific community. The Broad Institute includes faculty, professional staff and students from throughout the MIT and Harvard biomedical research communities and beyond, with collaborations spanning over a hundred private and public institutions in more than 40 countries worldwide.


I'm looking to create a post processing effect that would be used to make one material render in front of another specific material without otherwise affecting their render order with everything else in the world.
What I want to do is make it so the white panel shows up in front of the grey panel but both of them are still behind the blue panel.
I've been told it's possible to make a material render on top of another material using post process effects. Is it possible to do that without making it render on top of everything else? Just on top of one designated material?
I'd appreciate some pointers on where to start with this, please.

President of Botswana confirmed for Mining Indaba Virtual – 2 to 3 February 2021
Investing in African Mining Indaba (Mining Indaba), part of Hyve Group Plc is honoured to announce that His Excellency, Mokgweetsi Masisi, President of Botswana has confirmed to deliver his presidential keynote address at the upcoming Mining Indaba Virtual.
© Mining Indaba
The organisers are delighted to confirm that H.E. Mokgweetsi Masisi, President of Botswana will be joining the already confirmed H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa, president of South Africa, H.E. Félix Tshisekedi, president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and H.E. Julius Maada Bio, president of Sierra Leone, at Mining Indaba Virtual which will be held next month, 2 to 3 February 2021.
The mining sector continues to be seen as the backbone of Botswana's economy, and one of the largest contributors to gross domestic product, with minerals comprising almost 80 % of export earnings. Over the years, Botswana has received widespread praise for the way in which it has converted mineral rents to fiscal revenues - combined with sound economic policies, these have helped build infrastructure and kept the economy stable.
In 2018, Botswana was the world's second largest diamond producer by value and volume, however there are significant investment opportunities in expansion and development of the country's coal, coal bed methane, uranium, gold and silver as well.
Building into the overall theme of Mining Indaba Virtual, geared towards building resilience and regrowth, helping to adopt a new mindset for African Mining, H.E. Mokgweetsi Masisi is expected to address Botswana's mining sector development including: progress on production and volumes in diamonds, gold, copper, coal, and iron ore; new diamond and copper licensing opportunities for explorers and junior miners; developments of infrastructure in Botswana's Western corridor to stimulate international investment; and safeguarding investors through transparency and sustainable fiscal regimes.
Botswana is currently looking to expand its renewable energy generation up to 15 % by the end of this decade, but given its coal reserves and the fact that it imports approx. 50 % of energy from neighbouring countries it will remain focused on domestic fossil fuels development, with coal on track to contribute 300 MW of new generation capacity and coalbed methane (CBM) providing 250 MW.
Registration for the Mining Indaba Virtual has now opened, the event is free to attend.

Great Barrier Reef work giving nature a hand

23rd Nov 2019 8:06 AM
THE future of the Great Barrier Reef has spawned a truly collaborative effort from government agencies, universities, marine scientists and educators.
Southern Cross University's Professor Peter Harrison is leading a team of scientists and students from James Cook University and the University of Technology Sydney on a project which will give mother nature a helping hand.

"What this project is trying to do is capture spawn from the remaining heat tolerant corals that have survived the bleaching events, and use that as the broodstock to start the next generation of corals … we are hoping to get even higher heat tolerance, and (the coral) will be able to survive some of the next bleaching impact," Prof Harrison said.
Following two summers of coral bleaching on the northern section of the Great Barrier Reef in 2016 and 2017, the focus on the annual coral spawning has become even greater.
Coral larvae have been collected and placed into large inflatable coral nurseries, floating in the waters near Moore Reef.
There, the larvae matures, while protected from natural predators. After a few days, they are transported into holding tanks on Reef Magic's pontoon, where it is cocultured with algae grown by James Cook University senior researcher Katie Chartrand and her team.

"We have grown more than 10 billion cells of a more thermally tolerant species of algae for our developing larvae to take up," Ms Chartrand said.
"The next step will be to monitor how these energy-boosted larvae survive and grow in order to test if this technique improves coral recovery out on the reef."
Prof Harrison is excited for the future of the project and what it could mean for the Far North's natural asset. "If we (can) get to billions of larvae, that's starting to be like natural systems … if we can start to get to that scale to mimic nature … so that we're putting the maximum number of larvae back into the most damaged parts of the reef, then we know we can be successful," he said.

INCUBATOR NURSERY FOR CORAL
THE Great Barrier Reef is not dead. But we can still give it a helping hand.
Last Sunday I joined other journalists from all over Australia on a journey to Moore Reef. We witnessed first hand the cutting edge technology marine scientists are using to help coral growth on the Great Barrier Reef.
Professor Peter Harrison discovered the annual mass coral spawning on the reef in 1982, and for 37 years he has been working on methods to propagate coral using the larvae from the spawning. His latest floating coral incubator on Moore Reef can hold millions of coral larvae, but Professor Harrison has dreams of creating floating coral nurseries more than a square kilometre in size, housing billions of larvae and replicating nature.

CROWN-OF-THORNS DETECTION
The Australian Institute of Marine Science biochemist Jason Doyle and his colleague, Sven Uthicke, have developed a method to detect the DNA of the crown-of-thorns starfish in seawater. The new technique ensures early detection of the marine pest, ensuring better containment of any outbreaks. Prior to the new method, scientists were unable to predict future outbreaks.

BUILDING REEF NETWORK SUPPORT
Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef chief executive Andy Ridley is helping create a global network of people who care for the reef. "There are enough people who show the attitude to change things, to work on the resilience of the reef itself, to do everything we can locally … what's cool about today is to see the size of this operation."

"We welcome the government's commitment to maintaining NHS funding in England and to protecting frontline services. However, the scale of the challenge in carrying out many of the plans in this document should not be underestimated. Redeploying budgets and staff, or reconfiguring services, is never straightforward.
"NHS staff are pivotal in delivering effective services to patients, and we welcome the Health Secretary's commitment to supporting and engaging with with us. The BMA will respond positively to such engagement. However, the repeated talk of "pay restraint" when what is really meant is no pay rise at all, is demoralising. While healthcare workers clearly understand the financial pressures on the NHS, and will want to act responsibly, they should not be punished for a situation which is not of their making.
"Doctors have been highly critical of the increasing commercialisation of healthcare, so it is good to hear again from Mr Burnham that the NHS is the "preferred provider." However, the private sector has a firm foot-hold, and many examples of waste and inefficiency resulting from the market model remain in the system. Restoring the NHS to a publicly provided service, where providers are encouraged to co-operate rather than compete, must be beneficial to taxpayers as well as patients."

Q: another meaning of 'boxing room'
Just because he's charming? Look, we've seen this before, alright? We
  have the "D.N.A." - - Liv and I were in the "boxing room".

The speaker and Liv believes that 'he's a suspect.
They already interrogated him.
But the other detectives doubt that he committed a crime.
So, the speaker is saying this dialogue when the other people is raising a question.
I googled it and found it on dictionaries, but I couldn't find a single answer that help me understand this dialogue.
Maybe it means interrogation room?
Or is there another meaning of 'in the boxing room'?
Help me!
(My native language is not English. Please be kind to me. :-))

A: I think this is just metaphoring Liv and "I"

But, IE give me an error with this function. Do you know an other way for make this remove?

A: Use this code instead:

Forbes parent exploring a sale
by Chris Roush · November 15, 2013
Forbes Media, the parent company of the business magazine Forbes, is exploring selling itself, reports Alex Sherman, Jeffrey McCracken and Edmund Lee of Bloomberg News.
Sherman, McCracken and Lee write, "The New York-based publisher of 96-year-old Forbes magazine and Forbes.com is working with Deutsche Bank AG on the sale, according to a memo sent to the company's employees. Forbes is seeking at least $400 million, said a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified as the information is private.
"Magazine publishers are selling storied brands as they struggle with declines in advertising revenue and circulation amid competition from the Internet. Newsweek, the 80-year-old publication, was sold to IBT Media in August by IAC/InterActiveCorp, and McGraw-Hill Cos. sold Businessweek, which was founded in 1929, to Bloomberg LP in 2009. Maxim magazine, the bawdy men's title, was sold to Darden Media Group by its creditors in September.
"Bloomberg LP, the New York-based news and financial information provider, is the also the parent of Bloomberg News, which competes with Forbes.
"Editions of the magazine are published in Asia and Europe. Its U.S. advertising sales were $275 million last year, down 19 percent since 2008, according to the Publisher's Information Bureau."

One of the Boys —en español: Uno de los chicos — es el  álbum debut de la cantante y compositora estadounidense Katy Perry, publicado bajo su nombre artístico actual. El álbum fue lanzado a la venta el 17 de junio de 2008 por la compañía discográfica Capitol Records, una división de EMI Music. El material musical contiene géneros pop y rock pop con influencias de teen pop. El álbum fue muy exitoso en América del Norte y en otros países convirtiendo a Perry en un nuevo icono de la música pop.

El álbum publicó cuatro sencillos, como "I kissed a girl", "Hot N Cold", "Thinking of You" y "Waking Up in Vegas", los cuales fueron grandes éxitos en Norte América, Europa y Oceanía. Los sencillos de "I kissed a girl" y "Hot N Cold", fueron los grandes éxitos mundiales que le dieron a Perry un gran salto a la fama. Los anteriores sencillos, fueron certificados como disco de platino y disco de oro. Cada uno de ellos contó con un videoclip que se mantuvieron en las primeras posiciones en diferentes cadenas de televisión musical en varios países.

Para la producción del álbum, Perry trabajó, especialmente, con los productores Greg Wells, Dr. Luke y Glen Ballard. Perry mencionaba que estaba tan afortunada de trabajar con un gran equipo de producción. En su mayoría, las canciones son escritas por Perry en la forma que expresa de donde viene ella como persona.

El álbum ha sido un gran éxito a nivel mundial, obteniendo ventas de 4 millones de copias. Para su promoción, Perry organiza su primera gira mundial llamada Hello Katy Tour, comenzando en el año 2009 para promocionar entonces su álbum debut. La gira comenzó en Norte América y así realizándose en Europa, Oceanía y Asia. Anteriormente realizó una gira en los Estados Unidos en el Warped Tour de 2008.

Antecedentes

Perry ha indicado que ella había estado trabajando en One of the Boys, ya que ella tenía diecinueve años de edad. Durante la realización del álbum, Perry pasó por muchas luchas como la que se redujo de dos sellos discográficos y con dos discos canceladas. Durante este tiempo, Perry había "escrito entre los sesenta y cinco a setenta canciones". Perry colaboró con productores notables, como: Greg Wells, Dr. Luke, Dave Stewart, Max Martin y entre otros en el álbum. Perry co-escribió cada canción en el álbum, así como escribió tres canciones de la misma.

Cuando se habla de las canciones del álbum, Perry dijo que lanzó el sencillo "Ur So Gay" como una introducción al disco:

Una vez de haber firmado con Capitol Records, la cabeza principal de la discográfica Jason Flom empezó a convencer a Dr. Luke para que volviera al estudio de grabación con Perry, quien anteriormente había trabajado con ella en Columbia Records, pero nunca había terminado lo que había empezado. Junto con Max Martin quien escribió y grabó "I kissed a girl" y "Hot N Cold". Perry entonces colaboró de nuevo con Greg Wells, quien también había trabajado en el anterior álbum en Columbia, empezaron a escribir y grabar "Ur So Gay" y "Mannequin". De acuerdo a la entrevista de Chris Anokute de A&R con Perry, terminaron con cinco nuevas canciones y luego eligieron las seis mejores canciones del álbum de Columbia Records, dejado de lado para compilar con el álbum.

Recepción

Crítica

En Metacritic, que asigna una calificación normalizada de 100 a comentarios de la prensa dominante, el álbum ha recibido una puntuación media de 47, a partir de 18 comentarios.

El álbum recibió críticas positivas de la revista Billboard que afirmó, "no desde Jagged Little Pill tiene un álbum de debut tan lleno de hits potenciales."

Más a menudo, la recepción crítica osciló entre mixto a comentarios negativos. Stephen Thomas Erlewine de Allmusic Guide le dio al álbum dos de cinco estrellas, observando que el álbum "se hunde en craso, profundidades de cobardia que a su vez One of The Boys en un emblema de lo grotesco de todos los excesos miserable de esta década." En el álbum, Uncut escribió "Gwen Stefani debe estar nerviosa". mientras Slant Magazine escribió que "Perry no posee la suavidad o cualidades vocales para seguir adelante, y la canción es como No Doubt," Just A Girl sin personalidad y convicción". La NME escribió que "Madonna y Pérez Hilton Puede ser fanáticos, entonces, pero si usted tiene incluso un paso interés en realidad disfrutando de un récord, no compre uno de estos".

Comercial

El álbum consiguió buenas posiciones en varias listas musicales de diferentes países. La IFPI informó, a finales del 2008, que el disco fue el trigésimo tercer álbum más vendido en todo el mundo en ese mismo año. En los Estados Unidos alcanzó su máxima posición en el número 9 en la lista del Billboard 200, vendiendo 47.000 copias durante su primera semana de lanzamiento. Posteriormente, obtuvo una certificación de disco de platino por parte de la empresa de certificaciones de ese país, RIAA. Hasta agosto de 2015, "One Of The Boys" había vendido 1 690 000 copias en ese territorio, de acuerdo al sistema de información Nielsen SoundScan. En Canadá obtuvo el puesto 6 en la lista de Canadian Hot 100, consiguiendo doble disco de platino como certificación por la CRIA, y con más de ciento sesenta mil discos vendidos. En América Latina, tuvo éxito solo en Brasil siendo certificada con disco de platino, y con sesenta mil copias vendidas.

En Europa también logró un éxito rotundo. Entró en la posición número 10 en la lista general de ese continente en el European Albums de Billboard, siendo certificada con doble disco de platino. En Reino Unido, fue muy exitoso, alcanzó el puesto número 11 en la lista de UK Album Charts y permaneciendo en repertorio durante quince semanas consecutivas, y siendo certificada con disco de platino por la empresa certificadora BIP. En Francia tuvo buena reputación, entró en el repertorio al décimo puesto, logrando más de cien mil ventas y siendo otorgada con la certificación de disco de platino por la certificadora francesa SNEP.

Introducing…Foundation Beyond Belief
In action, Foundation Beyond Belief, meaning and purpose, morality, nonbelief and nonbelievers, Parenting, values
Being a humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead. — Kurt Vonnegut
I don't give as much as I'd like to the causes I care about. I consider myself a pretty generous guy, and when I give, I give generously. But I get to the end of each year and realize that I just haven't given as much as I wish I had. Again.
Another thing: When religious folks give through religious charities and churches, it registers as an expression of their worldview. I want that too. I want my contributions to "count" as a visible expression of my secular humanism.
Then there's this: Multiple solid surveys by philanthropic research organizations like Independent Sector and the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey1 show that churchgoers give a much greater percentage of their income to charitable causes than non-churchgoers like me. Arthur C. Brooks (author of Who Really Cares) is pretty sure he's got my number: he says it's "evidence of a gap in everyday virtue" (p. 40) between the religious and nonreligious.
I think he's missing something obvious. If people in Group A are asked to pass a plate full of the generous donations of their friends and neighbors and either add to it or not, 52 times a year, while people in Group B have no such regular and public nudge — I'd say something other than virtue is in play.
I think the difference has much more to do with whether or not you have systematic opportunities for giving than some "gap in virtue." I speak at Unitarian fellowships and Ethical Societies all the time, places brimming with friendly atheists. And when that offering plate passes by, I give, and so do they, knowing that these places will use it to do some good.
The offering plate is also passing through a million mainstream church pews every Sunday, giving the religious an easy and regular way to give and to combine their giving with others as a positive collective expression of their worldview.
I don't agree with those who insist religious people give primarily out of fear or guilt. That may be in the mix, but most I know give because they are challenged and encouraged to do so, because generosity feels wonderful, and because the habit of giving turns giving into a habit.
I want to do better. It's time for those of us who are otherwise engaged on Sunday mornings to have our own easy and regular means of giving, one that focuses and encourages humanistic generosity and demonstrates it to the world.
Welcome to Foundation Beyond Belief.
> what it is
Foundation Beyond Belief is a new charitable and educational foundation created (1) to focus, encourage and demonstrate humanistic generosity, and (2) to support a nationwide nonreligious parent education program.
The Foundation will highlight ten charitable organizations per quarter–one in each of ten areas (health, poverty, environment, education, human rights, and more). Members join the Foundation by signing up for a monthly automatic donation in the amount of their choice, then set up personal profiles to indicate how they would like their contribution distributed among the ten categories. Maybe you'd like to give 25 percent each to human rights, poverty, education, and the environment. We'll distribute it accordingly. By year's end, you will have helped support a dozen organizations in the areas you care most about.
The centerpiece of the Foundation will be a lively online community. Active members can join a social network and discussion forums centered on the ten categories of giving, upload videos, recruit new members, advocate for causes and help us choose the new beneficiaries each quarter. We'll also create and host a multi-author blog of world-class contributors focused on the cause areas, as well as humanism, philanthropy, and the intersection of the two.
Carefully selected for impact and efficiency, the beneficiaries may be founded on any worldview so long as they do not engage in proselytizing. At the end of each quarter, 100 percent of the donations will be forwarded and a new slate of beneficiaries selected.
On the educational side, the Foundation will build the next stage in nonreligious parent education—a nationwide training program for parenting seminar leaders. We plan to have 30-40 people teaching nonreligious parenting seminars in cities across the country within a year.
We've begun assembling a stellar cast to guide the Foundation through its infancy. The Board of Directors includes Hemant Mehta (author, Friendly Atheist blogger, Secular Student Alliance board chair), Dr. Wayne Huey (ethicist, educator, author, former Georgia and U.S. High School Counselor of the Year), Trish Hotze Cowan (Sunday School Director, Ethical Society of St. Louis), and executive director Dale McGowan. (That's me.)
The Foundation will launch in two stages. On October 1 we'll unveil the pre-launch website, where members can begin setting up profiles and basic donations. On January 1, 2010, we will launch the full site, including the ten featured causes, all profile options, blog, social networking, and the means for members to select and change their preferred distributions.
We're making no little plans here, and there's the potential to do something pretty earthshaking. But this is a community thing, or it's nothing. We'll need your help.
> what you can do now
There are two ways to stay in the loop as we work toward the Foundation's partial launch in October and full launch in January:
Facebook users: Click here to join the Foundation Beyond Belief group on Facebook Causes. No donation required — just keeping yourself in the loop.
Non-Facebookers: Click here to put your email on our mailing list.
Either way, sign up and we'll keep you informed as it takes shape.
1And the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, and the American Community Survey of the U.S. Census…the list goes on. The facts themselves are not in doubt.

Sleeper's Run Book Review
War on Terror veteran, Eric Caine, is found wandering the streets of Miami with no memory of the car accident that left him there. Alone and suffering from PTSD, Eric is on a one-way road to self-destruction. Then a chance meeting at a bar begins a series of events that helps Eric start anew. When his new job relocates him to Venezuela-the land of his childhood-things, however, take an ominous turn as a catastrophic event threatens the stability of the country. Now Eric must escape an elite team of CIA assassins as he tries to uncover an international conspiracy in which nothing is what it seems.
Purchase: Kindle | Paperback
I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. Eric Caine was a war veteran trying to put his life back together. Battling PTSD has caused him to react in bizarre ways. One day he's found walking the streets of Miami mumbling in Arabic. He'd wrecked his car with no memory of driving it or having an accident. Then an unexpected friendship with a man he meets at a bar gives his life the fresh star4 that he needed. He gets a job in the lucrative Cosgo Company as their IT specialist. He's really good at his job which gets him sent to Venezuela. That's where he meets the gorgeous Trishna and the action, adventure and suspense begins.
Wow! This was a fantastic novel. It reminded me of a Robert Ludlum novel. There's lots of action and intrigue. There were moments when I wanted Eric to realize the big picture. It was a great book through and through. I definitely don't think anyone would want to miss out on this awesome read!

Q: What are the main physical consequences of supergravity? String theory in some limit becomes supergravity.
This is the super generalisation of gravity where instead of taking the Poincare symmetry as the local symmetry of spacetime we take the super-Poincare group.
This rather sounds like a formal generalisation of gravity. For example, we can formally generalise Newtonian mechanics to work in any number of spatial dimensions, nevertheless there are only three spatial dimensions.
One of the remarkable consequences of Einsteins rethinking of gravity is how it changed and developed our understanding of physical concepts of space, time, energy and mass whilst introducing new mathematical techniques into the physicists armoury - manifolds, tensors, curvature and the like; nevertheless, the latter would not have had the impact they had were it not for the physical reconceptualising.
This appears to be remarkably difficult to find out for something as basic as supergravity where mathematical techniques appear to take front stage. Thus,
Q. What are the main physical consequences of super-gravity? And I am emphasise here in terms of space, time, energy, momenta and inertia - the basic physical furniture of physics?

A: The immediate consequence is the doubling (or quadrupling, etc., depending on the number of supersymmetries N) of particles because of supersymmetry.
Another important consequence is restrictions on possible Lagrangians, in particular, scalar potentials. These restrictions become more and more severe for larger N.
Also quantum (perturbative) behavior of supergravity is somewhat better than that of general relativity.

The Ugly Truth About criminal justice season 2 cast
Crime is something that we can all relate to. It is a topic that can be so much worse for people when it is out of their control.
Crime is a topic that can be so much worse for people when it is out of their control. Not only is it easy to get caught up in the criminal justice system, but it is also a topic that people can get so deeply involved with. It is a topic that is so emotionally charged for people that it often has a major impact on their life. People can get caught up in a crime and feel that they have to go to court to prove that they didn't do it.
In the first season of Criminal Justice, most of the crimes were solved within a few months because of the fast pace of the police investigations. But when the second season starts, things are not looking so good for the criminals. In the first season, about 75% of the crimes were solved in the first three months, but now it looks like the number of crimes is getting worse.
That's because the police are cracking down on the criminals and making it very difficult for them to get the evidence they need to prove their guilt. If you go to a crime scene and see that everything was just as the police said it was, it's very hard for the police to convict you when they have to go back and get the evidence from a different crime scene. This is why we have the legal system in the first place.
The second year, if you go to a crime scene and see that the cops have a good idea how they're doing it, then its very easy to go back and get the evidence from a different crime scene.
Criminal justice is one of those things that seems to be an unwieldy beast. There are thousands of different laws and different rules that govern how certain activities are conducted. It all boils down to how much evidence you have. A jury can only make a decision based on the evidence they have, not based on what you think they should have. This is why we have the legal system in the first place.
The criminal justice system has a lot to do with the way a prosecutor and jury work together to decide what crimes a person is guilty of. In this one, we see how a person's guilt or innocence is decided. But it's not always a simple process. In one court scene, a jury hears testimony from the accused that he is guilty of a crime. However, the prosecutor says it's not his case. The defense, who has the case, says it is.
It is an interesting scene because the prosecution and the defense are arguing about the facts of the case at the same time. It would be nice to see if this was part of a game.
To be honest, I am not a fan of the legal system. The truth is, the law doesn't actually speak to the heart of what makes a person's life worth living. What matters most is the feelings, beliefs, ethics, and morals that you have about how you want to live your life. If you have these things, then the legal system won't care. But if you have none of these things then the legal system will care.
I think this is just one of the many reasons that the criminal justice system needs to be changed. The one thing that is truly broken is that the system does not actually do anything to change the person you're accused of crimes against. Rather, there is a very long line of people who have been wrongfully convicted, and then there are the few that are just never found guilty.

Cork Film Festival unveils full programme for 64th festival
18 Oct 2019 : News Desk
Cork Film Festival
A trio of Irish premiere Galas have been announced for the 64th Cork Film Festival, with the launch of the 2019 programme.
The 11-day Festival, running from 7–17 November, features the Irish premiere of Feras Fayyad's gripping film on war-torn Syria The Cave as its Documentary Gala (15 Nov). The Irish Gala is Aoife Crehan's comedy-drama debut The Last Right (14 Nov), while the Family Gala is Disney's long-awaited Frozen 2 (17 Nov), ahead of its general release. It brings to five the number of Galas at this year's festival, with Opening Gala Ordinary Love and Closing Gala The Other Lamb already announced.
Over 300 films and events are included in the packed 2019 programme, with 90% of the features, documentaries and shorts having their first screening in Cork. Click here for tickets.
Festival Director and CEO Fiona Clark said:
"Cork Film Festival has always sought to offer audiences the latest and best in world cinema — from award-winners on the international festival circuit to exciting new discoveries and home-grown talent. The breadth and quality of the programme, with 63 countries represented, reflects our ambition to celebrate the best cinema to a diverse and growing audience. With our 64-year legacy, we will continue to challenge and excite.
"The Cave, from the Oscar®-nominated director of the Last Men In Aleppo, (CFF 2017), just won the People's Choice Documentary Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. A harrowing account of one woman's efforts to provide medical care in war-ravaged Syria, it leads our strong and provocative slate of documentary features."
"Whilst we celebrate award-winning films, we also fiercely champion new talent and emerging filmmakers with 31 debut features, including Aoife Crehan's The Last Right as our Irish Gala. As Ireland's first and largest film festival, we proudly showcase the best in Irish cinema, and serve as a platform for local filmmakers, supporting them in the development of their craft. A central pillar of the Festival's mission is engaging young people in film, spearheaded by our magical Family Gala, Frozen 2."
Further key Irish premieres are Le Mans '66 (8 Nov) starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, the true story of the visionary American car designer Carroll Shelby and British-born driver Ken Miles of when Ford took on Ferrari. Taika Waititi's anti-hate satire Jojo Rabbit (15 Nov), which stars Scarlett Johansson and Roman Griffin, will be screened well ahead of its January 2020 release date; and Michael Winterbottom's British satirical film, Greed (9 Nov), starring Steve Coogan, David Mitchell and Isla Fisher, also receives its Irish premiere.
Among the stand-out documentaries is Academy Awards®-winning director Alex Gibney's acclaimed Citizen K (11 Nov) about Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once believed to be the richest man in Russia, that reveals the dark, compelling history of post-Soviet Russia. Lost Lives (8 Nov), directed by Dermot Lavery and Michael Hewitt and based on David McKittrick's book, will also grip audiences, documenting the lives of those who died during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Patricio Guzman's stunning exploration of the impact and legacy of Pinochet's era in Chile, The Cordillera of Dreams (10 Nov), will also be screened.
Cannes Film Festival 2019 winners include The Lighthouse (16 Nov), which won the Fipresci Critics Award, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire (16 Nov), which won the Queer Palm — the first film directed by a woman to win the award — and Best Screenplay.
From Cannes to Cork, the Cork Film Festival is the only festival in Ireland and one of only 35 globally, to have three awards with Oscar® accreditation. Winners of the Festival's Grand Prix Irish Short, Grand Prix International Short and the new Grand Prix Documentary Short awards will qualify for the 2021 Academy Awards® longlist. A world-class shorts programme, curated from over 4,000 submissions, including over 100 Irish and international shorts, along with 10 world premiere shorts supported by Screen Ireland. The shorts programme also includes Best of Cork, Experimental and Family Friendly screenings.
Cork Film Festival Programme Director Michael Hayden said:
"One of the more pleasurable obligations of the work we do is looking out for new and emerging filmmakers. Few things give programmers as much of a thrill as discovering something brilliant made by someone no one has heard of, and the urge to share and celebrate those new voices is a responsibility to embrace.
"This year's Cork Film Festival programme is packed with thrilling debuts, including Annie Silverstein's Bull, an evocative portrait of lost souls in dusty Texas; Africa by Oren Gerner, a profound and personal contemplation on aging, masculinity and nationhood from Israel; Mounia Meddour's Papicha, a fierce feminist statement set during the Algerian Civil War in the 1990s; and Alaa Eddine Aljem's The Unknown Saint is a deadpan delight from Morocco. Grace Glowicki's Tito is remarkable, at turns hilarious and unsettling, while Nora Fingscheidt's System Crasher is an important and empathetic depiction of the treatment of children with mental health issues."
Music features significantly in the 2019 programme, with documentaries that take a fresh look at cult artists. These include Brainiac: Transmissions After Zero (15 Nov); The Chills: The Triumph and Tragedy of Martin Phillipps (16 Nov); My Friend Fela (10 Nov), What Time is Death? (12 Nov); Where Does a Body End? (12 Nov) and Other Music (9 Nov), following the New York record store Other Music. The Classics programme also includes 1964 romantic French musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (16 Nov) and Tommy (9 Nov), the 1975 British rock film based upon The Who's famed album.
Further classic highlights include 1967 crime film Bonnie and Clyde (9 Nov) — screened as a companion piece to Rob Garver's documentary What She Said: the Art of Pauline Kael (8 Nov)— and the 20th anniversary screening of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (16 Nov). Families can enjoy Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom (16 Nov), the mesmerising Latvian animation Away (10 Nov) and Japanese family-fantasy animation Birthday Wonderland (9 Nov).
This year's Cine Concert celebrates a new 4K restoration of German expressionist horror film Der Golem (13 Nov), presented with live score by leading silent film accompanist, Stephen Horne, with support from the Goethe-Institut Irland.
Special Presentations with artist collaborations, exploring LGBTQ+, gender transitioning and self-identification themes, include Doireann O'Malley's Prototype I (12–14 Nov) and Bríd Murphy's Blue I, II, III (7–17 November), as part of a long-standing partnership with the National Sculpture Factory. Artists Vicky Langan and Maximilian Le Cain's enigmatic Personal Growth (9 Nov – 20 Dec) in partnership with Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, opens with a talk, screening and Q&A.
The popular Cork on Camera programme (16 Nov) also returns for 2019, curated from the collections at the Irish Film Institute (IFI) Irish Film Archive. These include a portrait of Cork sculptor Séamus Murphy by Oscar®-nominated documentarian Louis Marcus, Silent Art (1958); the US homage to the Aran jumper Through Erin (1978); road-movie Dark Moon Hollow (1972), and Jim Mulkern's travelogue of two young couples touring the county, Car Touring (1965).
Looking beyond Cork city screenings, the Festival's expanded County Programme will meet the growing demand for cultural cinema in the wider Cork region. Films include Scott Z Burns' new political thriller The Report; Mike Newell's family favourite Into the West; Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly's 1952 musical classic Singin' in the Rain; and a selection of festival shorts, Around the World in 80 Minutes. Together with a Schools' programme of seven films, these will be screened in Principal Venue Partner The Gate Cinemas in Midleton and Mallow, and the Regal Cinema in Youghal.
Cork Film Festival is supported by Principal Funder the Arts Council, along with Cork City Council, Screen Ireland, Fáilte Ireland, Screen Skills Ireland, Culture Ireland, Creative Ireland, Fundraising Fellowship Ireland, ESB Energy for Generations Fund and Creative Europe Media.

2014 Frozen Four: Union College, Minnesota to meet for National Championship

Union College junior Daniel Ciampini and University of Minnesota senior defenseman Justin Holl (CHI) made this year's NCAA Frozen Four semi-final games ones to remember.
Ciampini netted his first career hat trick in Union College's 5-4 win over Boston College in the first 2014 Frozen Four semi-final game. Holl picked the best time to score his first goal of the season when he netted the shorthanded, game-winner with just .6 seconds remaining in regulation time to give Minnesota a thrilling 2-1 win over the University of North Dakota in the second semi-final game.
In the first semi-final game, the Dutchmen's relentless forechecking and pressuring of the puck wreaked havoc on Boston College for much of the game. The speed and transition game that have been the hallmarks of the Eagles' team all season was kept in check by Union College throughout the game.
The turning point of the game came near the midway point of the third period. At the 6:49 mark, Union senior Mat Hatch received a five-minute major and a game misconduct for checking from behind. After successfully killing off the major, freshman Mike Vecchione extended the Dutchmen's lead to 4-2, a lead that Union did not relinquish the rest of the way.
"Bodes (Mat Bodie) got us together on the bench there and just said five-minute PK," junior defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (PHI) explained following. "Pretty sure if we kill that, we kill their momentum."
Ciampini completed his first career hat trick at the 18:51 mark of the third period on an empty-netter that would hold up as the game winner.
The win sent Union College to their first-ever National Championship game in just their second Frozen Four appearance.
Despite being on the losing end, Boston College junior Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) was able to reach the 80-point plateau (36 goals, 44 assists) in 40 games, becoming the first player since Colorado College's Peter Sejna accomplished the feat in 2002-03. Sejna went on to win the Hobey Baker Award that season.
The Dutchmen will face Minnesota on Saturday night after the Golden Gophers capped one of the greatest finishes in recent Frozen Four memory. Holl broke the hearts of North Dakota fans when his shorthanded, game-winner had just beaten the buzzer to end regulation time. The goal was Holl's first in over a year. His previous goal came back on March 8th, 2013 versus Bemidji State.
"At first I didn't even know that Justin had scored that goal," freshman Hudson Fasching (BUF) said of Holl's game-winner. "I was just in shock and so excited. But once I found out that it was Hollsey who scored the goal, I couldn't be happier for him. He's such a great guy and to get his first goal of the year like that was amazing."
Much of the game featured a great goaltending battle between two sophomore NHL prospects in Zane Gothberg (BOS) for North Dakota and Adam Wilcox (TBL) for Minnesota.
It wasn't until the third period that the teams finally got on the board. Minnesota drew first blood when junior Sam Warning put home a rebound at the 10:51 mark. Just 32 seconds later, however, North Dakota answered Minnesota's goal when junior Connor Gaarder also scored off of a rebound at the 11:23 mark. But Holl's last-second goal ended the game, sending the Golden Gophers to the National Championship game.
Saturday's matchup marks the first NCAA Tournament meeting between Union College and Minnesota. The two teams have previously met three times, all during the regular season, with the most recent coming in the Dodge Holiday Classic tournament back on Dec. 31, 2010.
"When you come here to Minnesota, you dream of playing in the Frozen Four and for a national championship and now that we're here, it's a pretty great feeling right now," freshman Taylor Cammarata (NYI) said of playing for a national championship. "I think we match up well against Union, so it should be a real good game on Saturday."
Both teams rank in the top 10 nationally in team offense and in the top five nationally in team defense. Union College sports the nation's second-best offense that is averaging 3.73 goals, and the nation's fourth-best defense that is allowing an average of 2.10 goals per game.
Minnesota sports the nation's sixth-best offense that is averaging 3.48 goals per game while sporting the nation's second-best defense that is allowing an average of just 1.98 goals per game.
Union College junior Colin Stevens and Minnesota sophomore Adam Wilcox currently rank first and second respectively in goaltending winning percentage. Stevens is at .848% while Wilcox is at .784%. Both goalies also rank second and third respectively in wins with Stevens winning 27 while Wilcox has 26.
While both teams are very balanced throughout their lineups, one factor that could determine who wins the National Championship on Saturday is how well each team plays and executes within their systems.
The NCAA National Championship game gets underway at 7:30pm on Saturday, April 12th. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN.

LulzSec Members Sentenced
Four Brits that were part of the LulzSec hacker group got their sentences Thursday for their roles in cyber attacks launched against corporate and government sites in 2011.
Ryan Cleary, 21, Jake Davis, 20, Ryan Ackroyd, 26, and Mustafa Al-Bassam, 18, ended up sentenced Thursday in London's Southwark Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to charges of carrying out unauthorized acts with the intention of impairing the operation of computers.
DDoS Suspect Extradited
SpyEye Suspect Facing Charges in U.S.
Sony Hacker gets 1 Year in Slammer
LulzSec Member Pleads Guilty
Davis, known online as "Topiary," received a two-year prison sentence. He acted as a spokesperson for LulzSec, writing some of the hacker group's announcements and managing its website and Twitter account.
Ackroyd, who posed as a 16-year-old girl online and used the alias "Kayla," received a 30-month prison sentence, while Mustafa al-Bassam, who used the online alias "T-Flow," received a 20-month suspended prison sentence and ordered to perform 200 hours of unpaid community work.
Cleary, who used the online alias "Viral," received a 32-month prison sentence. He was not one of the LulzSec core members, but associated with the group and operated a botnet used to launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against targets.
LulzSec's members went on a hacking spree between May and June 2011, targeting various companies and government agencies. They used hacking methods and tools to break into websites and leak the information found in their databases, including the personal details of thousands of users, and also launched DDoS attacks to make websites inaccessible.
Some of LulzSec's targets included Sony, Nintendo, News Corp., Bethesda Game Studios, the CIA, the FBI, the Arizona State Police and the UK's Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA).
Andrew Hadik, a lawyer with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in the UK, characterized the actions of LulzSec's members as "cowardly and vindictive."
"The harm they caused was foreseeable, extensive and intended," Hadik said. "Indeed, they boasted of how clever they were with a complete disregard for the impact their actions had on real people's lives."
Companies suffered financial losses and serious damage to their reputations, while hundreds of thousands of innocent individuals had their private details exposed as a result of the group's actions, he said.
Another LulzSec member, Cody Andrew Kretsinger, from Decatur, IL, who used the online alias "recursion," received a sentence in April to one year in federal prison for his role in LulzSec's attack against Sony Pictures.
Hector Xavier Monsegur, the former leader of LulzSec, known online as "Sabu," ended up arrested in June 2011 and agreed to act as an informant for the FBI. Monsegur pleaded guilty to multiple hacking offenses in relation to the group's activity and will undergoing sentencing in August.

Drive Offense Stagnates, Blown Out By Magic
Posted by Joetruck229 on November 29, 2018
The Grand Rapids Drive played their worst game of the season in a 109-94 loss to the Lakeland Magic (affiliates of the Orlando Magic) to snap their 3 game winning streak. While they managed to make it a little bit more respectable in the 4th quarter, the game was well out of distance for most of the second half.
FINAL: Not our night tonight but we're back home Friday to seek redemption on the Magic! #WeAreGR pic.twitter.com/fcplTLtU4m
— Grand Rapids Drive (@grdrive) November 29, 2018
The Drive were led by Scottie Lindsey who scored 24 points, with two-way players Zach Lofton and Keenan Evans scoring 16 and 15 apiece. Zach Lofton was back in the lineup for the first time in a week or so after being in the concussion protocol. Head coach Ryan Krueger said that Lofton was not on a minutes restriction but came off the bench and only played 26 minutes purely because he hadn't been playing or practicing so they wanted to ease him back in a bit.
The game turned when Drive point guard Speedy Smith left the game in the 1st quarter with an apparent groin injury, followed shortly after by Jon Horford with a shoulder injury. Both players said after the game that they were feeling ok but they will be re-evaluated today.
Without Smith to initiate the offense, the Drive were stagnant and struggled to create good looks and move the ball. Jovan Mooring took many of the point-guard minutes the rest of the game, and while he has looked like a good spark-plug in limited minutes, he struggled in a larger role.
If Speedy Smith misses any extra time, it will be imperative that the Drive figure out how to cope with the loss of Smith. Clearly, his playmaking and passing is integral to their spread drive and kick attack.
The Drive will be back in action on Friday at the DeltaPlex against the same Lakeland Magic.
