The Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) is a Canadian independent baseball league, comprising teams of college players and former professionals from North America and beyond. Players are not paid, so as to maintain the players' NCAA eligibility.
The league was formed in 1919 and has enjoyed much success over its long history. Teams are run similar to a professional minor league team, providing players an opportunity to play under the same conditions, using wooden bats and minor league specification baseballs. Teams play 36 games scheduled over an 85-day season running from early May to late-July. The playoffs are best-of-seven series with the Championship series typically played around Labour Day.
The teams are located in Southern Ontario, but once had a team in Ottawa.
The Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) was founded in 1919 with just four cities represented — Galt, Guelph, Stratford and Kitchener, and is the oldest amateur men's league in Canada. During the early years, the league expanded to include the cities of Waterloo, Brantford, Preston, London, and St. Thomas.
It was previously known as the Intercounty Major Baseball League and the Senior Intercounty Baseball League. Teams compete for the Jack and Lynne Dominico Trophy, which is awarded to the league champions. The trophy is named for Jack Dominico, owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team and his late wife Lynne.
Labatt Park in London, ON, home of the London Majors.

Montana Reebok Classic FW17 Recap Launch event from MontanaCans on Vimeo.
The Reebok Classic shoe and Montana Cans have a lot in common. Not just that they stand for quality and integrity. They are both Icon's in their perspective fields, a must-have for those "in the know". A reflection of the dedication and passion of the people in the sub cultures that value them. So it was only logical that these two iconic brands got together to create something special. The Reebok Montana Classic was born!
The German release for this iconic series of shoes was none other then shoe store, "Asphaltgold". The cold Darmstader weather welcomed all that came to see the magic for themselves. And for those lucky enough to purchase a piece of footwear history, the weather was irrelevant as they strutted out of the store looking better then ever. It didn't take long till all shoes were sold out, but that too didn't deter anyone as there were free drinks by Dietz Teaz and Warsteiner and gourmet sausage action by "Wurstfontäne". And if that wasn't enough, there was live window painting by Jan Paul Müller who was fully loaded with Montana Acrylic markers.


Being involved in a motorcycle collision is no laughing matter, and even though you know that you have rights, it's not easy getting started on your recovery, no matter what aspect you're thinking about. If you're involved in a motorcycle crash your entire life can, and probably will, change in an instant. Just one mistake on the part of you, or in most cases, another motorist, and everything you had and relied on for happiness goes out the window.
When your motorcycle is damaged, you're seriously injured, and your life, your job, and your emotional stability is on the line, what do you do? What comes next? Who can help you? Who is responsible? Can you hold someone responsible? Who's going to pay for your medical bills, and your regular bills while you can't work?
Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries that will leave you laid up for weeks, months, or even years while you try to fully recover. Even then, you're likely to suffer from pain and discomfort for the rest of your life.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and head injuries that could leave you in a coma, paralyzed, or unable to take care of yourself and your family for the rest of your life. A large number of people who sustain head injuries, especially TBIs, during motorcycle crashes, need caregivers for the rest of their lives.
Broken bones and fractures, including collarbone, arms, legs, and other body parts.
Internal injuries that are likely to require surgery, often multiple times over, in order for you to make a full recovery. This process can take years to fully go through, leaving you in constant recovery mode, and who wants to live that way?
What Does it Really Mean to Be Injured in a Crash on Your Motorcycle?
Most people think that being injured in a motorcycle crash is like being injured in any other type of motor vehicle accident. But the truth is that that's just not the case. When you're involved in an accident on your motorcycle, you're going to sustain injuries, and they're going to keep you out of work for weeks or months. If you're very seriously injured, you could be out of work for years, or maybe for the rest of your life. And that means you won't be able to pay your bills.
Even disability payments on short term and long term disability payments just aren't enough to cover the costs of your medical bills, your mortgage, and putting food on the table. Without an income and without proper compensation for your injuries immediately, and over the long term, you're going to experience stress and emotional trauma like you've never thought you could experience. And all that on top of the trauma and despair you already feel over your injuries and their possible or promised impact on your future.
If you sustain a head injury or paralyzing injury your life will change in even more significant ways, and more permanent ways. Imagine not being able to tie your own shoes, or not being able to remember how to scramble an egg. Forgetting how to do simple tasks, and even not being able to drive are things that many motorcycle riders experience when their injuries include a head injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Who Can You Turn to When You've Been Hurt in a Crash?
Helping you find the right doctors and the right therapists for every aspect of your recovery.
Collecting evidence and witness statements to help you build a strong case.
Working with the insurance company and filing forms so that you don't need to think about those aspects of your recovery.
Helping you to negotiate the cost of your medical care so you don't lose much-needed compensation to doctors and hospitals.
Helping you to understand your rights and the things that you need to do to get the best settlement possible.
What to say and what not to say to doctors, insurance companies, family members, and other people during your case.
Developing an appropriate written statement and verbal statement for the case and for the insurance company.
It's never easy to admit that you need help. But when it comes to your recovery after an accident on your motorcycle, there's no excuse, or reason, to avoid getting the help you need to get the compensation you deserve. You can rely on help from an accomplished Peoria personal injury attorney like The Husband & Wife Law Team to get you through the lawsuit and your recovery.

In April of 2010 I first heard about Earthing from a Alternative Natural Health Seeker / Guru David Avocado Wolfe. He was a guest speaker at one of my FAVORITE personal and business development company Peak Potentials, a T. Harv Eker, my mentor, company. David Wolfe is a great leader of natural health and travels extensively spreading the word on natural healthy, superfoods, raw foods, natural healing, longevity, toxin cleanse, and many more leading / bleeding edge health topics.
David had another gentleman Clint Ober speak with him about "Earthing" which is also the title of a book he wrote along with Cardiologist Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D. and Martin Zucker.
I was fascinated and have been learning as much as I can on the subject. Coming from a computer programming background where in the computer lab BEFORE you touched a computer you had to ground yourself on a grounding pad, I understood that our bodies carried static electricity and if you then touched a computer your discharge could ruin the computer component. Also, being an apprentice electrician as a teenager I had some knowledge of the grounding required of the electrical system within our homes. Additionally, everyone knows that some electrical devices have the third prong of the plug and that third prong is connecting to a ground circuit. These more complex devices like refrigerators and computers require a connection to ground in order to work properly.
Grounding or Earthing in the best possible way.
One very interesting tidbit of information I heard was that the bottom of our foot has more nerve endings per square inch than any other part of our body. Why would this be so? Think about it. Our feet our PLUGS!! And they are designed to "plug in" to the Earth, or Mother Earth. Our nervous system is our body's electric system. This electrical system requires good hydration, healthy passages so that electrical messages can be sent, and low interference. Remember our bodies are complex machines and just like computers and refrigerators require a connection to ground to work properly.
If you look around with modern devices like shoes and high rise buildings we as humans are spending less and less time in connection with the ground or earth. You know how when you go on vacation or spend time at the beach with your feet in the sand and water? You know how you come away feeling energized and relaxed or "grounded!"? And you are!
There's a lot of real evidence on the health benefits of grounding. Blood samples taken before and after grounding show red blood cells before clumping and in a static state then afterwards bouncing, charged and healthy. Inflammation which is being called the common denominator to many of the current man's illnesses and diseases are said to be caused by free radicals that steal electrons from healthy cells starting inflammation. These free radicals are electron starved cells that we can help by keeping our bodies bathed in natural antioxidants. Earthing is the most natural antioxidant and just by standing in connection with the earth which is negatively charged, electrons will travel into our body at a rapid rate. Natural antioxidants! Inflammation reducing!
The most interesting to me because I have been able to test it with a volt meter is the immediate effect of grounding on the amount of voltage carried in our body. By holding a meter and walking around my house I can see where the EMFs of the various electrical devices affect my body. The voltage when working at my desk with the computer, monitor and UPS can be up to 6 or 7 volts! Then when I touch a grounded surface that voltage IMMEDIATELY dissapates! If I let go of the grounded pad then the voltage is immediately back. It's quite compelling and is a good, fun thing to do with visitors and friends. Think about it this way, our bodies are electrical machines, right?! EMFs are electrical interference. You know when you are on your cell phone and you hear the static? Well the interference is affecting the cell phone, just like any interference could affect your body, and not in a good way.
The phrase "Get Grounded" now takes on a different meaning, doesn't it?
So bottom line: what do you do?
In my home I have grounded all the sleeping areas because we spend more time there than anywhere else. At first I purchased the grounded pad and slept with that under my neck but after a while I upgraded to the half sheet that is grounded and is wrapped around the bottom portion of our bed. I know there's a cost to the sheet but unless you want to sleep with wire to tangle up in this is the easiest way AND you only have to buy it once!
Ground Computer Areas. I have purchased a computer pad for the desk tops but I also designed (For FREE) grounded areas for the computers in our homes. In one case I used copper snail tape to create a grounded area where ever one of my kids would place their feet and under my husband's desk I bend some copper piping into a sort of mat so that when he worked with his socks on the grounding would work. I of course tested it each time and with the snail tape I found that the sticky side didn't conduct so I had to use copper wire to spread out the conductivity.
I travel with my grounded mat so am protected even when I'm away from my own bed. Our sofa area is set up with a few of the grounded plugs so that my kids when they have their friends over and they are all on their cell phones, iphones, whatever they can be protected. I actually cringe each time I see a kid pull a laptop onto their lap without being grounded!
All the products are available in this Amazon store so please have at it. Get Grounded! Protect yourself and your Kids! Don't let them sleep with their cell phones under their heads! See the store Rose's Amazon Store This is an Amazon link, you will be purchasing from Amazon and the costs are the same but please purchase through my link as I get some credit for sending you there. I appreciate it very much. These are my favorite products but of course you can make your own connections to the earth and especially as much as possible get out there and get barefoot!

Home Under the Range
By Michael Kortes
A linear "underdark" escort adventure with a farcical pretext. The party is charged with herding giant beetles through the underdark from one location to another. Five encounters later they reach their destination, currently the site of a pitched battle. Along the way you meet stone giants bowling, and three ambushes, all the while trying to keep the loses of the beetles low. I's linear, and essentially a series of set pieces with the generally hated "escort mission" ltag attached to it. And yet … I have a fondness for the absurd, or, maybe, the ALMOST absurd. This is running right up close to the line. Generally I like my DM pretexts normal and my players to do the wacky shit, like come up with plans that say "I have the perfect plan! First we need forty giant beetles …" Too much from the DM and the games in danger of Paranoia ZAP territory. But this one? I don't know. Something may have triggered my Personal Preference O'Meter, or I'm in a weird mood today.
It does get in and out in only about twelve pages, with half page art/maps on most that's not a bad page count by Dungeon standards. It also has a hook I like. 3e-era players are looking for masterwork weapons at low levels. Sending the players to the dwarf hold and herding the beetles is a nicely little integrated response to the players wants/needs. THIS is the way plot os developed in D&D. Not by the DM but in response to what the players want. "We need/want this thing." Well Mr and/or Ms Player, you can go get it here … Player driven action. (Even if it does fall in to the "then why don't the dwarves herd them" sin of "can't be bothered."
And Madness Followed
By Kevin Carter
And then there's the wrong way to do things. Like this. It's a King in Yellow/Yellow Sign themed adventures, with a group of travelling bards performing the play and turning villages in to aberration-monster zones. You visit a village and get attacked by monsters. You visit a town where the town center has gone to hell. You visit a city where the play is being performed in a playhouse. End. It relies on the party being do gooders. It has a one-page description of a NPC that somehow you are supposed to absorb and run, full of the usual nonsense that doesn't need to be there because it has no impact on the adventure.
There are a couple of nice spots. The middle combat, the town, has the town barricading off the town center, keeping the madnes-creatures trapped there. The whole "town in chaos", barricades, zombie apoc thing is an appealing concept, although they don't really do much with it here beyond hearing things beyond the barricade. Too much tell and not enough show.
The first encounter, the village, has a manor home you can search. This is an abstracted manor home search. Roll your search check and the DM will give you a piece of information. I'm interested in methods other than "room/key" format for other types of actions. Room/Key works great for exploration. The whole Mind-Map thing works great for social environments, as does presenting things in tabular form. The question of "are there other formats for other adventure types" is one I find interesting. Is there a better way to present investigations? The method in this adventure, a search check with the DM then feeding information, seems too abstracted. It reduces an "Ah Ha!" moment to a simple die roll. Room/Key format may be cumbersome for this sort of thing, but just listing the "important" rooms and what someone can find in it would seem to be both better than the die roll and the room/key. It preserves the player agency, eliminates the "all D&D elements are die rolls" nonsense, and can be relatively dense/terse in presentation.
FInally, the hooks fall in to two types, both of which I find interesting. In one the players are almost inquisitors for the church of St Cuthbert. That takes care of the "do gooder" motivation. The other two are variations on the "Dying fan gets to watch Star Wars early" theme. Please go find the players, my favorite, I want to see one last time before I die, blah blah blah. It's stupid, but I would TOTALLY ham this up, with pajamas, posters, drinking cups, etc.
Into the Worm Crawl Fissure
By James Jacobs
Age of Worms adventure path, the second to last one. The party wander around three adventure locations, then "explore" a Kyuss shrine and fight the Kyuss herald: the dragolich. There is something going on in this adventure, but man is it a mess. There's supposed to be a ghost, split in to three parts I think, that you can reunite to get help against the dracolich. I'm pretty sure there's a vision the party has when they arrive at the site, which leads them to the first part, which leads to the other two. Those are the three adventure locales you can explore. It's presented on a kind of small regional map with nine locations on them. But only a couple are actually detailed. For example, there's the lair of a dragon from the last adventure, almost certainly dead now (because of the players.) That's all you get. Why include it? If you're not going to to do anything with it then what does it add to the adventure? This being Pathfinder, errr, 3.5, the state blocks frequently stretch to a full page, Combine that with all the background nonsense and the "used to" and "like to relax here" sorts of stuff that creates the text overload and you've got a mess. Better yet, the locations on the map don't actually relate to locations presented in the adventure. So the map is labeled 1 through 9. The overview location page is labeled 1 through 9. The ACTUAL adventure locales are Part 1, Part 2, and so on, and you only know which witch is which by reading DEEP in to the text. This would have been so much better if 90% of the text were trimmed. Would it be good? I don't know. Kyuss worms. Pools of slime, Hydras & chimeras, crazy lich, friendly ghost … it's got the basic elements. A special callout to the dracolich treasures. A little overly described in places, but a scandalous dress, a nice violin, a large drinking horn emblazoned with runes and carvings of dead dragons.

Could use a conclusion here. This issue sounds like it might actually be worth picking up? If one were to pick up a dungeon issue?
Bryce Lynch says:
Oh my, recommending a Dungeon? Anything on the "Best of" link trumps Dungeon. But, if you're hot to buy a Dungeon, this one is better than many.
williamstevenlakesmith says:
Man, I just looked through the first adventure and it has this inset about how they made the guide runes in the tunnel, pointless word count info. Then the map shows a completely linear path… why are guide runes needed to follow a straight path? Jesus, this shitty magazine was kept going by teenagers with disposable income who never got to actually play D&D.
Shuffling Wombat on Hideous Daylight, D&D adventure review

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


Estimates vary, but by 2020 there could be over 30 billion devices connected to the Internet. Once dumb, they will have smartened up thanks to sensors and other technologies embedded in them and, thanks to your machines, your life will quite literally have gone online.
The implications are revolutionary. Your smart refrigerator will keep an inventory of food items, noting when they go bad. Your smart thermostat will learn your habits and adjust the temperature to your liking. Smart lights will illuminate dangerous parking garages, even as they keep an "eye" out for suspicious activity.
Except it's no longer science fiction. It's our barely distant present.
"[W]e estimate that only one percent of things that could have an IP address do have an IP address today, so we like to say that ninety-nine percent of the world is still asleep," Padmasree Warrior, Cisco's Chief Technology and Strategy Officer, told the Silicon Valley Summit in December. "It's up to our imaginations to figure out what will happen when the ninety-nine percent wakes up."
Yes, imagine it. Welcome to a world where everything you do is collected, stored, analyzed, and, more often than not, packaged and sold to strangers—including government agencies.
In January, Google announced its $3.2 billion purchase of Nest, a company that manufactures intelligent smoke detectors and thermostats. The signal couldn't be clearer. Google believes Nest's vision of the "conscious home" will prove profitable indeed. And there's no denying how cool the technology is. Nest's smoke detector, for instance, can differentiate between burnt toast and true danger. In the wee hours, it will conveniently shine its nightlight as you groggily shuffle to the toilet. It speaks rather than beeps. If there's a problem, it can contact the fire department.
The fact that these technologies are so cool and potentially useful shouldn't, however, blind us to their invasiveness as they operate 24/7, silently gathering data on everything we do. Will companies even tell consumers what information they're gathering? Will consumers have the ability to determine what they're comfortable with? Will companies sell or share data gathered from your home to third parties? And how will companies protect that data from hackers and other miscreants?
The dangers aren't theoretical. In November, the British tech blogger Doctorbeet discovered that his new LG Smart TV was snooping on him. Every time he changed the channel, his activity was logged and transmitted unencrypted to LG. Doctorbeet checked the TV's option screen and found that the setting "collection of watching info" was turned on by default. Being a techie, he turned it off, but it didn't matter. The information continued to flow to the company anyway.
As more and more household devices—your television, your thermostat, your refrigerator—connect to the Internet, device manufacturers will undoubtedly follow a model of comprehensive data collection and possibly infinite storage. (And don't count on them offering you an opt-out either.) They have seen the giants of the online world—the Googles, the Facebooks—make money off their users' personal data and they want a cut of the spoils. Your home will know your secrets, and chances are it will have loose lips.
The result: more and more of what happens behind closed doors will be open to scrutiny by parties you would never invite into your home. After all, the Drug Enforcement Administration already subpoenas utility company records to determine if electricity consumption in specific homes is consistent with a marijuana-growing operation. What will come next? Will eating habits collected by smart fridges be repackaged and sold to healthcare or insurance companies as predictors of obesity or other health problems—and so a reasonable basis for determining premiums? Will smart lights inform drug companies of insomniac owners?
Keep in mind that when such data flows are being scrutinized, you'll no longer be able to pull down the shades, not when the Peeping Toms of the twenty-first century come packaged in glossy, alluring boxes. Many people will just be doing what Americans have always done—upgrading their appliances. It may not initially dawn on them that they are also installing surveillance equipment targeted at them. And companies have obvious incentives to obscure this fact as much as possible.
As the "conscious home" becomes a reality, we will all have to make a crucial and conscious decision for ourselves: Will I let this device into my home? Renters may not have that option. And eventually there may only be internet-enabled appliances.
Physical sensors connected to the Internet are increasingly everywhere, ready to detect a unique identifier associated with you, usually one generated by your smartphone, then log what you do and leverage the data you generate for insight into your life. For instance, Apple introduced iBeacon last year. It's a service based on transmitters that employ Bluetooth technology to track where Apple users are in stores and restaurants. (The company conveniently turned on Bluetooth by default via a software update it delivered to Apple iPhone owners.) Apps that use iBeacon harvest a user's data, including his or her location, and sometimes can even turn on a device's microphone to listen in on what's going on.
Another company, Turnstyle Solutions Inc., has placed sensors around Toronto that surreptitiously record signals emitted by WiFi-enabled devices and can track users' movements. Turnstyle can tell, for instance, when a person who visited a restaurant goes to a bar or a hotel. When people log-on to WiFi networks Turnstyle has installed at area restaurants or coffee shops and check Facebook, the company can go far beyond location, collecting "names, ages, genders, and social media profiles," according to the Wall Street Journal.
The rationale for apps that track where you are is that business owners can use the data to tailor the customer experience to your liking. If you're wandering around the male grooming section of a particular retailer, the store could shoot you a coupon to convince you to purchase that full body trimmer that promises a smooth shave every time. If customers enter Macy's and zig right more often than left, the store can strategically place what's popular or on sale in those high-traffic areas. This is basically what's happening online now, and brick and mortar stores want in so they can compete against the Amazons of the world.
Not so surprisingly, however, such handy technology has already led to discriminatory behavior by retailers. About a year ago, an investigation by the Wall Street Journal found that prices quoted by online retailers like Staples and Home Depot changed based on who the customer was. People who lived in higher-income areas generally received the best deals, which is a form of digital redlining. In the future, count on brick and mortar stores to do the same thing by identifying your phone, picking up data about you and pricing items according to just how juicy a customer they think you may be.
Last December, the Senate Commerce Committee investigated the business practices of the nine largest data aggregators: what information they collect, how they obtain it, their invasiveness and who they sell it to. The committee found that these companies collect information ranging from the relatively mundane to the incredibly sensitive, including names and addresses, income levels and medical histories. They then sell it off without giving serious consideration to what the buyers might do with it.
In the process, you could find yourself categorized as part of a group of "Mid-Life Strugglers: Families" or "Meager Metro Means" or "Oldies but Goodies," which aggregator InfoUSA described as "gullible" people who "want to believe their luck can change." Think of it as high-tech commercial profiling of the most exploitative sort.
Congress's watchdog, the Government Accountability Office, reviewed US privacy law and found that citizens generally do not have the right to control the scope of information collected about them or limit its use, even when it pertains to their health or their finances. And if the information is incorrect—something you might never find out—there's no US law that requires data aggregators to correct it.
Sooner or later, with smart devices seamlessly using sensors and Big Data provided by data aggregators, it will be possible to pick you out of a crowd and identify you in complex ways in real time. If intelligent surveillance cameras armed with facial recognition technology have access to social media profiles as well as the information stored by data aggregators, a digital dossier of your life could be called up on-demand whenever your face is recognized. Imagine the power retailers and companies will exert over your life if they not only know who you are and where you are, but what your weaknesses are—whether that's booze, cigarettes or the appealing mortgage rate with the sketchy small print. Are we looking at a future where the car salesman really does know what he has to do to put us in that car?
Recently, Newark Liberty International Airport upgraded lighting fixtures at one of its terminals to a more eco-friendly alternative known as LEDs. It turns out, however, that energy efficiency wasn't the only benefit of the purchase. The fixtures also double as a surveillance system of cameras and sensors that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is using to watch for long lines, identify license plates and—its officials claim—spot suspicious behavior.
Private surveillance technology is also destroying one of America's iconic freedoms: the open road. License plate readers are proliferating across America. These devices snap a picture of every passing car. One company, Vigilant Solutions, already holds 1.8 billion license plate records in its data warehouse, known as the National Vehicle Location Service (NVLS). Anyone with access to this information could easily find out where a person has driven simply by connecting the plate to the car owner. And keep in mind that it's up to the companies gathering them to determine just who can access the information—data of immense interest to private investigators and anyone else curious to track another person's movements.
In February, the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) put out a solicitation to obtain access to a private license plate reader database for the purpose of "locating criminal aliens and absconders." ICE claims that it wants to enhance officer safety by making it easier to arrest suspects away from their homes. When the mainstream media took notice and privacy advocates like the ACLU objected, new Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson pulled the plug on the project.
A big win? Don't count on it, because police departments already have easy access to commercial license plate repositories. In the past, Vigilant has, for instance, allowed ICE to test its service free of charge. Police often pony up the cash to access such databases. As a quick experiment, go to Vigilant's NVLS registration page, click on the drop-down menu beside "Agency name" and scroll down. Trust us, you'll get bored by the staggering list of police departments before you reach the bottom.
Which brings us to an axiom of our digital age: law enforcement will exploit any database built, if it makes it easier to figure out what the rest of us are up to. Lucky for them, there's a wealth of data out there and available. Experian, one of the largest data aggregators, told the Senate Commerce Committee that "government agencies" regularly purchase information from them.
Often, those agencies don't even have to pay for the privilege of accessing our data. In many cases, such an agency can simply issue its own subpoena (not seen by a judge) and compel companies to turn over our sensitive data. The culprit here is known as the "third party doctrine," which some courts have aggressively (and wrongly) interpreted to mean that any information disclosed to a third party isn't really private.
The danger of the rise of Big Data and the Internet of Things is straightforward enough. Whenever data is perpetually generated, collected, and stored, the result is going to be a virtual ATM of user information that government agencies can withdraw from with ease. Last year, for instance, local, state and federal authorities issued 164,000 subpoenas to Verizon and more than 248,000 subpoenas to AT&T for user information, while issuing nearly 7,500 subpoenas to Google during the first half of 2013.
Here are two obvious questions for our surveillance future: Who controls the data generated by our devices? Without doing anything except buying and installing them, do we somehow consent to having every piece of data they generate shared with Big Business and sometimes Big Brother? No one should have to isolate themselves from society and technology in the ascetic mold of Henry David Thoreau—or more ominously, Ted Kaczynski—to have some semblance of privacy.
In the future, even going all Jeremiah Johnson might not have the effect intended, since law enforcement could interpret your lack of a solid digital footprint as inherently suspicious. This would be like a police officer growing suspicious of a home just because it was all dark and locked up tight.
There's simply no way to forecast how these immense powers—disproportionately accumulating in the hands of corporations seeking financial advantage and governments craving ever more control—will be used. Chances are Big Data and the Internet of Things will make it harder for us to control our own lives, as we grow increasingly transparent to powerful corporations and government institutions that are becoming more opaque to us.

Raphael was born in the small but artistically significant central Italian city of Urbino in the Marche region, where his father Giovanni Santi was court painter to the Duke. The reputation of the court had been established by Federico III da Montefeltro, a highly successful condottiere who had been created Duke of Urbino by the Pope – Urbino formed part of the Papal States – and who died the year before Raphael was born. The emphasis of Federico's court was rather more literary than artistic, but Giovanni Santi was a poet of sorts as well as a painter, and had written a rhymed chronicle of the life of Federico, and both wrote the texts and produced the decor for masque-like court entertainments. His poem to Federico shows him as keen to show awareness of the most advanced North Italian painters, and Early Netherlandish artists as well. In the very small court of Urbino he was probably more integrated into the central circle of the ruling family than most court painters.
The Miraculous Draught of Fishes, 1515, one of the seven remaining Raphael Cartoons for tapestries for the Sistine Chapel.
Triumph of Galatea, 1512, his only major mythology, for Chigi's villa.
Raphael's premature death on Good Friday (April 6, 1520), which was possibly his 37th birthday, was due to unclear causes, with several possibilities raised by historians.  Vasari also says that Raphael had also been born on a Good Friday, which in 1483 fell on March 28.
^ Ashmolean Museum "Image". z.about.com.
^ Various other historians provide different theories: Bernardino Ramazzini (1700), in his De morbis artificum, noted that painters at the time generally led "sedentary lives and melancholic disposition" and often worked "with mercury- and lead-based materials." Bufarale (1915) "diagnosed pneumonia or a military fever" while Portigliotti suggested "pulmonary disease." Joannides has stated that "Raphael died of over-work. Note also that Raphael's age at death is also debated by some, with Michiel asserting that Raphael died at thirty-four, while Pandolfo Pico and Girolamo Lippomano arguing that Raphael died at thirty-three. For all see: Shearman:573.
^ Whereas Michiel said he died on his birthday. Art historian John Shearman addressed this apparent discrepancy: "The time of death can be calculated from the convention of counting from sundown, which Michaelis puts at 6.36 on Friday 6 April, plus half-an-hour to Ave Maria, plus three hours, that is, soon after 10.00 pm. The coincidence noted between the birth-date and death-date is usually thought in this case (since it refers to the Friday and Saturday in Holy Week, the movable feast rather than the day of the month) to fortify the argument that Raphael was also born on Good Friday, i.e., 28 March 1483. But there is a notable ambiguity in Michiel's note, not often noticed: Morse … Venerdi Santo venendo il Sabato, giorno della sua Nativita, may also be taken to mean that his birthday was on Saturday, and in that case the awareness could as well be the date, thus producing a birth-date of 7 April 1483." Shearman:573.


Tomáš Čižmár's research work concerns new methods of controlling light propagation in optical fibres. The aim of his research work is to produce miniaturized fibre-optic probes which would enable him to observe individual brain cells at "work" in a living organism. Through a better understanding of so far rather unexplored fundamental biological processes, researchers hope to find answers to complex questions. Such as how memories are anchored in our brain and how we recall them again. The technology could be useful to better understand the onset of Alzheimer's disease or other severe neurological disorders.
From January 2, 2018, Tomáš Čižmár is appointed Professor of Wave Guide Optics and Fiber Optics at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at Friedrich Schiller University Jena and will be Head of the Department of Fiber Optics at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology Jena (Leibniz IPHT). His research areas include topics such as the optical manipulation of minuscule particles, the investigation of light propagation in optical fibers and their application in hair-thin endoscopic fibre probes for biomedical imaging.
In order to obtain high-resolution images from regions of the body difficult to reach, such as the brain, without causing extensive damage to it, hair-thin endoscopy probes are required. Conventional fiber-based endoscopes would be too large for such interventions. They are mostly comprised of a bundle of several optical fibers, in which each fibre transmits one pixel of the image. A holographic method developed by Tomáš Čižmár now allows transmission of high resolution images through a single optical fiber that is as thin as a tenth of a millimetre. "Until recently, complex and hardly predictable light propagation in such multi-mode fibers prevented their use in microscopy. The imagery received from these fibers is entirely scrambled and chaotic. However, by means of digital holography and computer algorithms, we succeeded in restoring the distorted images. High resolution microscopy with extremely thin fibers opens up a window to study processes in previously inaccessible regions in living organisms – possibly also in a human someday," Tomáš Čižmár opines about the future of the technology.
For his research project LIFEGATE, Tomáš Čižmár received the well-recognized Consolidator Grant funded by the European Research Council (ERC) – a distinction for excellent scientist. The ERC funds the project of the 38 year old scientist at Leibniz-IPHT for the duration of five years. Tomáš Čižmár intends to first study more precisely the processes of light propagation in multi-mode fibers. To eventually use the technology also in the micro endoscopy, the fibers must be above all flexible. That is indeed a challenge, because as the fibers bend, the transmitted image becomes distorted differently. The researcher is hoping to find a solution to this problem by understanding the propagation of light in the fiber more accurately. As well, Čižmár plans to increase the relatively slow speed of the transmission by employing faster graphics processors and better data processing algorithms. "At the IPHT, I can make use of the unique technological infrastructure for my fundamental research in the field of fiber optics and fiber technology. Moreover, the holographic micro-endoscopy can be combined with the imaging techniques established here and, thus, extend the range of light-based technologies in medicine and biology", the Czech-born scientist explains his decision to come to Jena. While working at the Leibniz-IPHT, he is simultaneously conducting research together with colleagues at the Institute of Scientific Instruments in Brno/Czech Republic on the integration of fibers in micro-endoscopy probes and their experimental application.
From 2003 to 2007, the physicist worked in the group led by Prof. Pavel Zemánek at the Institute of Scientific Instruments at the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Masaryk University in Brno, where he received his doctorate in the field of wave and particle optics in 2006. Thereafter, Čižmár continued to pursue his postdoctoral research work in the group headed by Prof. Kishan Dholakia at the University of St Andrews, Scotland in a number of projects on the subject of optical manipulation and biomedical photonics. Funded by an academic fellowship, in 2010 he changed over from the School of Physics & Astronomy to the School of Medicine in order to establish innovative concepts there for holographic endoscopy which is a new area of complex photonics. Prior to moving over to Jena, Čižmár was a reader (associated professor) at the University of Dundee. In his research group named "Complex Photonics" at Dundee, he investigated new methods of optical manipulation, photonics in chaotic systems and light conduction processes in optical fibers.

The I.L.Y's are an American experimental rock duo from Sacramento, California. They were formed in 2015 as a side project by Death Grips members Zach Hill (vocals, drums, guitar, and keyboard) and Andy Morin (guitar and bass). They have released two digital albums through Death Grips' Third Worlds label – I've Always Been Good at True Love in 2015 and Scum with Boundaries in 2016, both of which were released without any prior publicity. The I.L.Y's have never performed live other than as a part of Death Grips. They are currently signed with Castle Face Records, under which they have released their third studio album Bodyguard in 2017.

History
The I.L.Y's existence was revealed on June 4, 2015, when a Twitter account associated with the experimental hip hop group Death Grips shared a download link for the album I've Always Been Good at True Love, hosted on Death Grips' Third Worlds website, providing no other information regarding the album or artist involved. Fans and critics speculated that the I.L.Y's were a side project composed of Death Grips members involving Tera Melos guitarist Nick Reinhart, or an opening act for the band's summer tour. Ten days later, Death Grips confirmed that the I.L.Y's are a side project formed by Zach Hill and Andy Morin, and hinted that they planned to release the album physically.

On July 16, 2016, the I.L.Y's released their second studio album titled Scum with Boundaries via YouTube and SoundCloud, again without any prior announcement.

On March 25, 2017, a third studio album titled Bodyguard, complete with track-listing and artwork was announced due for release later the same year. The band later shared a double music video for two songs from the album called "Gargoyle" and "Bobo". The album was digitally released on May 16, with a physical release via Castle Face Records arriving on June 16.

Trump backs Tom Cotton's call to deploy military to quell protests
Marisa Fernandez
President Trump endorsed Sen. Tom Cotton's (R-Ark.) call on Monday to deploy active-duty military forces "if local law enforcement is overwhelmed" amid nationwide protests over the killing of George Floyd and other instances of police violence.
The state of play: "If local law enforcement is overwhelmed, if local politicians will not do their most basic job to protect our citizens, let's see how these anarchists respond when the 101st Airborne is on the other side of the street," Cotton said on "Fox & Friends."
"What the president can do is say that justice will be done in accordance with law for George Floyd, and we will always respect the right of peaceful protest as many of these cities saw in the daytime, but the rioting, the anarchy and the looting ends tonight."
"And, if necessary, the 10th Mountain, 82nd Airborne, 1st Cav, 3rd Infantry — whatever it takes to restore order. No quarter for insurrectionists, anarchists, rioters, and looters," he added in a tweet.
Trump's response: "100% Correct. Thank you Tom!"
The big picture: Cotton said the president should utilize the Insurrection Act, which allows the president to "restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States" when "domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order."
The Washington Post's Dan Lamothe reported that a senior defense official told him on Saturday that "no one in the department is talking about invoking the Insurrection Act."

Over 190 law enforcement officials endorse Biden
Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images
Over 190 law enforcement officials on Friday endorsed Joe Biden for president, per a campaign statement.
Why it matters: The endorsements rebut a theme of the Trump re-election campaign, which has falsely claimed that Biden wants to defund the police. Both candidates this week traveled to Kenosha, Wisconsin to address the shooting of Jacob Blake. Biden called for officers involved to be charged while Trump cracked down on protests that had turned violent.
Nation's largest police union endorses Trump
The Fraternal Order of Police — the largest police union in the U.S. — on Friday endorsed President Trump for re-election.
Why it matters: Trump has made issues of "law and order" a central theme of his campaign amid the large anti-racism protests that have sprung up throughout the country. He's falsely accused rival Joe Biden of wanting to defund the police and recently issued a memo saying he'd cut federal funding for any "anarchist jurisdiction" that "disempowers or defunds police departments."

Big Data Discovery: A Spotlight Q&A with Manan Goel of Teradata Aster
by Ron Powell
Originally published October 8, 2013
Email to myself
This BeyeNETWORK spotlight features Ron Powell's interview with Manan Goel, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Teradata Aster. They discuss the next-generation discovery platform architecture of Teradata Aster 6, the only fully integrated and complete solution available for big data analytics.
Teradata recently announced the Aster Discovery Platform 6. Could you give us a high-level summary of what is included?
Manan Goel: Sure. We announced the launch of Aster Discovery Platform 6, and this is the next-generation discovery platform. It's a platform that has been purpose-built for big data analytics and discovery. It's the first platform of its kind in the industry to bring these big data analytics and discovery capabilities to market. It primarily introduces capabilities in three major areas. The first major area is the SNAP™ framework for Discovery that includes processing, optimization and storage innovations to truly deliver integrated, blended analytics. The second capability is a new file store called Aster File Store™ that allows our customers to quickly ingest and preprocess big data. The third area includes new analytic engine for graph analysis called SQL-GR™. Aster SQL-GR™ is a native graph processing engine that makes it easy to perform powerful graph analysis, especially complex graph analysis across big data sets.
Can we dig into each of these areas and discuss their capabilities separately? When you're referring to new processing, optimization and storage innovations, what do you mean by that?
Manan Goel: Ron, what we are hearing from the customers around big data analytics and discovery is that they want to blend multiple, diverse kinds of data together, and also analyze that data using different blended analytics tools – kind of enabling multi-genre analytics, as we call it. That's what our new processing, optimization and storage innovations do. Aster 6 introduces the SNAP™ framework for Discovery which enables these multiple processing engines like graph, MapReduce, and SQL and multiple data stores like row, column & file stores to work together through a single user interface leveraging the integrated optimization, execution and storage capabilities. Essentially from an end-user's perspective, they can do analytics across these multiple styles of analysis in a truly blended fashion with a single user interface. That's what our key differentiator is. These optimization, processing and storage innovations deliver true integration across these analytics engines and data stores, as opposed to just having them co-exist.
So when you say multiple analytic genres, what do you mean?
Manan Goel: Let me give you a use case. Let's talk about telco churn analysis. The telco industry – for example, cell phone providers – is a pretty competitive industry. It has over a 95% saturation rate. Everybody has a cell phone now. For telcos, retaining their customers is very important. In telcos, any time a key subscriber churns, anybody who is connected to him or her is 6 times more likely to churn. So if you are a telco analyst trying to manage customer churn, you want to be able to do analytics that combine social network analysis that allows you to create social graphs for your subscribers. You also want to bring in their messaging statistics to see if they're key or not. And then if they are key subscribers, you want to see how their feeling is toward your services or product offerings and whether or not they are on a path to churn. So this analysis includes graph analysis, text sentiment analysis, social media analysis and statistical analysis. It has been really difficult to do this type of analysis with today's tools. Aster Discovery Platform 6 truly makes that kind of analysis really easy, fast and efficient to do. From an analyst perspective, from a single interface you'd be able to write a query, which includes all of these types of analytics, and transparently the platform figures out how to most efficiently execute this and deliver the results as fast as possible. It's as simple as that.
You also mentioned a new integrated storage system and services. What do you mean by that?
Manan Goel: I talked about the notion of diverse data sets. So what we keep hearing from customers is they also want the discovery platform to be able to quickly bring in these different data sets, retain fidelity, retain details, and not do a lot of schema work up front. What we're doing with Aster 6 is introducing a new object-based storage system and common storage services. This common storage system and services provide key storage capabilities like security, snapshots, replication and colocation that will allow us to quickly build type-specific data stores on top of this system. In Aster 6 as a first launch, we're using this storage system to launch a new file store – Aster File Store™. Aster File Store™ will empower our customers to quickly ingest and preprocess multi-structured data within the Discovery Platform. Our direction going forward will be to invest more and more in these type-specific stores. We are currently looking at use cases that customers give us around email or JSON stores and invest in those. That's where we're going, and it will allow our customers to quickly ingest data without losing a lot of fidelity, without doing a lot of schema work up front, and analyze this data quickly through the multiple engines that we provide.
You also mentioned analytic engines. What do you mean by analytic engines and how does the integration work?
Manan Goel: In Aster 6 we have introduced a new graph analytic engine called SQL-GR™. So the Aster Platform had two engines in the past – it has a SQL engine and a SQL MapReduce engine for doing workload-specific queries. Now we've added one more engine to the platform. We've added a brand new graph engine that will really enable large-scale graph analytic use cases, all through one single SQL interface – really making it easy for analysts. They don't have to know all the graph ins and outs. They'll still be able to write all the graph queries and get details on that. We are using a processing framework called BSP for efficiently processing the graph queries. BSP stands for bulk, synchronous, parallel. The SQL-GR™ engine is in there doing large-scale massive, iterative graph analytics use cases. We believe this BSP-based technology will help our customers more efficiently run, large-scale, iterative graph analytics workloads and deliver the results much more efficiently. A lot of our competitors are throwing hardware at the problem. They're putting in more memory and CPUs, whereas we believe by introducing a fundamentally new processing framework, we can deliver a lot more value to our customers in terms of how those workloads are processed.
BSP – bulk, synchronous, parallel – when you're talking about bulk, what size are we looking at?
Manan Goel: This is massive.
Petabytes?
Manan Goel: Yes, petabytes – think of the telco use case. You could be looking at millions and millions of your subscribers. You might be creating their social graph. Think of product recommendations in retail. A retailer may have thousands of products and millions of transactions. So we're talking millions and millions of customers and their connections, their second-level connections and their third-level connections. Building all those complex social graphs. Putting more analytic techniques on top of it like text/sentiment, path/pattern and getting much richer insights to truly deliver much higher business value.
As we look at big data, what are you doing around Hadoop integration?
Manan Goel: The file system that we are introducing is completely binary, compatible with the Hadoop file system. So all the third-party applications that support HDFS will seamless support the Aster file system. We completely support the HDFS APIs.
To me it would seem that if I am a Teradata customer, it would be obvious that I would do the discovery phase within Aster 6 from the big data perspective, and then I would take that data and operationalize it with the existing Teradata architecture and applications. Is that what's happening?
Manan Goel: Absolutely right. We go to market with the three key technology stacks – Teradata, Aster and Hadoop – as a unified data architecture (UDA). In the UDA, each system is designed to address specific workloads. Aster is primarily designed for doing discovery analytics on big data, finding interesting trends in data. And once you have found those, you can operationalize them on a Teradata data warehouse. Hadoop is designed primarily as a data lake or a large-scale data archival platform. We have customers today who use both Aster and Teradata together, and they're finding insights in Aster around customer journey and customer path, and they operationalize it using Teradata integrated data warehouse. A customer path to churn can be operationalized with the customer lifetime value in a Teradata data warehouse, and that can help organizations drive their operational decisions.
I've seen Hadoop identified in many ways, but this is the first time I've heard it described as a data lake. That's pretty unique. If I'm not already a Teradata customer, why would I want to start my analytics and discovery efforts with Aster 6?
Manan Goel: Aster 6 is designed, as I said before, from the ground up for doing discovery. In Aster 6, we have made a lot of investments around having a single, high-level query language for discovery across these multiple execution engines. So SQL is that language through which you can write a graph query, a statistical query, a text sentiment analysis or a path pattern analysis query, as opposed to other technologies in the market where the interfaces are different and the management frameworks are different. You express queries differently. So Aster 6 truly makes it easy for customers to do discovery – not only bringing these different data types together but also providing a single, common interface for writing queries across multiple execution engines. The platform has integrated processing and optimizations that make it seamless and transparent to run these queries most efficiently, and it delivers the results in the easiest, fastest and most intelligent way.
I know you just recently launched Aster 6. Have you received any significant customer feedback yet?
Manan Goel: Yes, it has been pretty exciting for us. We've been sharing the news with industry analysts, market makers and customers. The customers are really excited about it and the use cases that we're talking about. The customers are taking us in new directions and they're really excited about it, and we truly believe that Aster 6 brings innovative capabilities to the market. As time goes by, we'll be happy to talk to you more about the use cases and the implementations that we've seen around it. But for now, it's very exciting. It's too early in the launch right now, but already we have seen a lot of excitement and interest from our customer base.
It's been great talking with Manan. I look forward to speaking with you again in 6 months.

Quasar discovery sets new distance record
An international team of astronomers has discovered the most distant quasar yet found -- a cosmic monster more than 13 billion light-years from Earth powered by a supermassive black hole more than 1.6 billion times more massive than the Sun and more than 1,000 times brighter than our entire Milky Way Galaxy.
The quasar, called J0313-1806, is seen as it was when the Universe was only 670 million years old and is providing astronomers with valuable insight on how massive galaxies -- and the supermassive black holes at their cores -- formed in the early Universe. The scientists presented their findings to the American Astronomical Society's meeting, now underway virtually, and in a paper accepted to the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The new discovery beats the previous distance record for a quasar set three years ago. Observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile confirmed the distance measurement to high precision.
Quasars occur when the powerful gravity of a supermassive black hole at a galaxy's core draws in surrounding material that forms an orbiting disk of superheated material around the black hole. The process releases tremendous amounts of energy, making the quasar extremely bright, often outshining the rest of the galaxy.
The black hole at the core of J0313-1806 is twice as massive as that of the previous record holder and that fact provides astronomers with a valuable clue about such black holes and their affect on their host galaxies.
"This is the earliest evidence of how a supermassive black hole is affecting the galaxy around it," said Feige Wang, a Hubble Fellow at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory and leader of the research team. "From observations of less distant galaxies, we know that this has to happen, but we have never seen it happening so early in the Universe."
The huge mass of J0313-1806's black hole at such an early time in the Universe's history rules out two theoretical models for how such objects formed, the astronomers said. In the first of these models, individual massive stars explode as supernovae and collapse into black holes that then coalesce into larger black holes. In the second, dense clusters of stars collapse into a massive black hole. In both cases, however, the process takes too long to produce a black hole as massive as the one in J0313-1806 by the age at which we see it.
"This tells you that no matter what you do, the seed of this black hole must have formed by a different mechanism," said Xiaohui Fan, also of the University of Arizona. "In this case, it's a mechanism that involves vast quantities of primordial, cold hydrogen gas directly collapsing into a seed black hole."
The ALMA observations of J0313-1806 provided tantalizing details about the quasar host galaxy, which is forming new stars at a rate 200 times that of our Milky Way. "This is a relatively high star formation rate in galaxies of similar age, and it indicates that the quasar host galaxy is growing very fast," said Jinyi Yang, the second author of the report, who is a Peter A. Strittmatter Fellow at the University of Arizona.
The quasar's brightness indicates that the black hole is swallowing the equivalent of 25 Suns every year. The energy released by that rapid feeding, the astronomers said, probably is powering a powerful outflow of ionized gas seen moving at about 20 percent of the speed of light.
Such outflows are thought to be what ultimately stops star formation in the galaxy.
"We think those supermassive black holes were the reason why many of the big galaxies stopped forming stars at some point," Fan said. "We observe this 'quenching' at later times, but until now, we didn't know how early this process began in the history of the Universe. This quasar is the earliest evidence that quenching may have been happening at very early times."
This process also will leave the black hole with nothing left to eat and halt its growth, Fan pointed out.
In addition to ALMA, the astronomers used the 6.5-meter Magellan Baade telescope, the Gemini North telescope and W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, and the Gemini South telescope in Chile.
The astronomers plan to continue studying J0313-1806 and other quasars with ground-based and space-based telescopes.

Lagertha es un personaje de la mitología vikinga, muy conocida por su valentía y por sus grandes dotes de lucha y tácticas de guerra. Por ello se le dio la denominación de skjaldmö o incluso de la valquiria, la legendaria guerrera vikinga. Según las sagas nació en Dinamarca y fue la mujer del afamado Ragnar Lodbrok. Sabemos de ellas gracias a antiguos documentos como los cantares de gesta y sagas, aunque la veracidad de estas es dudosa, ya que en ellas se combina realidad con hechos legendarios.

La leyenda
Ladgerda fue una gran guerrera vikinga originaria de Dinamarca, más concretamente de Selandia, actualmente la isla de mayor tamaño de país, quien se casó con el famoso Ragnar Lodbrok.

Esta, para conseguir el título de gran guerrera, paso por varias etapas. Todo empezó cuando un caudillo que se conocía como Frodo, conquistó Noruega hacia el año 840, y mato al jarl Siward, quien, en aquella época era quien gobernaba. Tras esto, el conquistador mandó a todas las mujeres que tenían lazos familiares con el antiguo jarl a un burdel donde serían violadas por todos los hombres que lo desearan. Fue ahí cuando el vikingo Ragnar Lodbrok, al enterarse de dicho asesinato, viajó a la ciudad de Selandia para hacer justicia al jarl, quien aparentemente era abuelo de Ragnar. Mientras se enfrentaba a Frodo con su ejército, las mujeres reclusas de burdel logran escapar disfrazándose con indumentaria masculina. Algunas decidieron unirse a la batalla como es el caso de nuestra protagonista quien quiso acabar con el invasor. En la batalla causó un gran impacto debido a su valentía y fuerza y por ello se la identificó como skjaldmö. Fue ahí cuando Ragnar, su futuro marido, se enamoró de ella.

Fuentes
Su historia se conoce gracias a varias sagas nórdicas las cuales se transmitían de forma oral y se iban modificando a lo largo del tiempo por lo que no se puede afirmar con seguridad su historicidad. Se puede decir que es una mezcla de realidad con rasgos de la mitología nórdica. El texto más famoso que narra la historia de Ladgerda es Gesta Danorum la cual tenía dieciséis volúmenes de los cuales interesa el noveno donde se comenta que nuestra protagonista tenía saberes del latín y de los grandes clásicos aparte de su historia. Se publicó alrededor del  por parte de un escaldo, Saxo Grammaticus, quien desempeñaba el papel de los trovadores nórdicos de la época. Dicho texto está narrado con un punto de vista cristiano. Esto llama la atención ya que los vikingos eran paganos. Se debe tener en cuenta que estos cantares no narran la historia verídica ya que se iban modificando por la forma de narrar.

Ragnar Lodbrok

Tras la gran batalla contra el conquistador de Selandia, Frodo, Ragnar se enamoró de la valiente guerrera Ladgerda, pero ella no se lo puso nada fácil.

Ladgerda, una sorprendente y preparada skjaldmö quien, como mujer, tuvo el coraje de un hombre, luchando al frente entre los más valerosos, con su largo cabello sobre los hombros. Todos se sorprendían de sus insuperables hazañas, pues los mechones de cabellos que caían sobre su espalda revelaban su condición de mujer.

Hay un mito el cual dice que, para poderle pedir la mano, esta dejó en su puerta un perro feroz y un gran oso salvaje. El caudillo, al encontrarse con estos animales en su puerta, primero estranguló al perro y acto seguido mató al oso. Abrió la puerta y le pidió matrimonio. Gesta Danorum cita a un hijo llamado Fridleif, y dos hijas, pero esa descendencia en común no aparece en ningún otro relato o saga.

Divorcio y alianza militar
Ragnar Lodbrok en uno de sus viajes a Suecia conoció a la bella Thora o también llamada Asloug o Kraka. Tras esto, rompieron su matrimonio y Ladgerda volvió a su hogar. A pesar de la ruptura ambos mantuvieron buena relación, incluso, en la guerra civil volvió a Dinamarca donde estaba Ragnar para apoyarle con una gran flota compuesta por 120 barcos, pero no fue ella su única ayuda pues estrecho alianzas en Vestfold y Angeln.

[...] con gran vitalidad en contradicción con el pequeño margen de su oferta, despertó el temple de la vacilante soldadesca por una espléndida muestra de valentía. Ella literalmente voló alrededor de la retaguardia del enemigo desprevenido en una maniobra de círculos y llevando al pánico al campamento de sus adversarios.

El papel de esta fue decisivo para conseguir la victoria en la dura batalla conocida como la batalla de Laneus no solo por sus grandes dotes de guerra sino por sus maniobras tácticas. Consistían en rodear al enemigo en el momento que menos se espera. Hay un mito de esta batalla donde se cuenta que, tras la muerte de unos de los hijos de Ragnar que luchaba en la batalla, Siward, Ladgerda alzó sus alas de valquiria y voló sobre los enemigos consiguiendo así la victoria.

Tras la dura guerra, existen varias teorías como que volvió a Noruega donde asesino a su futuro marido aprovechando el momento conyugal, o lo mató con una lanza oculta en sus piernas tras enemistarse con él. En ambos casos acaba convirtiéndose en Jarl del lugar.

[...] para esta presuntuosa dama le pareció más agradable gobernar sin su marido que compartir el trono con él.

Cultura popular
Como muchos personajes históricos, se han creado series, películas, documentales, y libros sobre los famosos guerreros nórdicos y sin duda existen sobre Ladgerda. Una de las referencias más populares es la serie coproducida entre Canadá e Irlanda Vikings, creada en 2013, para el canal de televisión History. En ella podemos ver todas las características típicas de Ladgerda ya sean sus dotes de guerrera como sus tácticas de estrategia al igual que su fuerza física y mental. En la serie esta representada por la actriz Katheryn Winnick la cual representa un icono de mujer guerrera.

Q: I am transferring a namserver domain what do I need to update? Perhaps I am totally over thinking this but I have a domain name and name servers that are working just fine.  I want to transfer the one domain name that I have for my server which is also the name of the nameserver.
e.g.
mydomain.com
with nameservers
ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com
I am transfering the mydomain.com from the current registrar to the one I use for all my other domains.  The question is what do I have to update?  Once the transfer is complete mydomain.com will have ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com as it's nameservers as it is today. I was wondering though how ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com are resolving if mydomain.com is pointing to ns1 and ns2.  Am I over thinking this or am I missing something in the process here?  I always just enter the nameserver names when I configure any domains on my server.  Do I have to setup A records somewhere for ns1 and ns2 ?

A: Key item: Since you are only changing your registrar and not the underlying IP addresses associated with your nameservers, this move is transparent.
Be sure to enter glue records (nameserver + IP) at your new registrar. If you are using a primary registrar, I typically see this information show up in the root servers within 5 minutes.
Use a tool like http://www.intodns.com/
To confirm things are working as they should.
If your nameserver IPs are changing, then you have other issues to handle, but for a registrar change with no underlying DNS record changes - it is transparent.

A: You would want to point your servers to another name server I think, because once they move to registrar they would no longer be serving DNS correct? Just dumb records. I think it's probably safer to rename your domain.internal something though and point to internal dns. Depends on how you were serving DNS on the original servers though.

A: ****EDIT:**  It turns out I'm completely wrong.  See the comments.  I'd delete this, but I imagine other people might think the same thing I did in answering it, so I'll leave it as a cautionary tale.**
That's an interesting exercise in recursion.
If I understand your question correctly:
You want mydomain.com to have ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com as its nameservers?
That will not work.  You can't have a nameserver in the same domainspace as the domain name.
It's a chicken/egg scenario.  When you run a DNS lookup, eventually the nameservers are queried.  If ns1.mydomain.com is the nameserver for mydomain.com, how do you ever get a lookup for ns1.mydomain.com?  That is - something has to tell you what the IP address is for ns1.mydomain.com so that you can query it.  If ns1.mydomain.com is where you have to go to get the IP address for ns1.mydomain.com, how does ns1.mydomain.com ever resolve in the first place?
Generally your nameservers need to be in different namespace than the domain they're hosting.
