We live in a society, since the countries riots, where we are looking at effective ways to offer our younger generation, discipline, and a stake in something. For me sports hold the key to offer both these ideals, and a whole lot more. By promoting a more effective sporting policy throughout the Uk, we could as a nation not just benefit from more success with regards totrophies and awards, but also have a healthier and better behaved young people. Money would need to be invested, but also a determination to encourage our youngsters to want to better themselves at something that makes them adhere to a set of rules for them to achieve success(achievement awards).
Discipline would come from the fact that rules and regulations would be explained and taught to the children from a young age. These rules would depend upon the sport being coached. Referees authority can be encouraged to be respected for the sake of the game, as it is starting to be with football across the globe with the respect campaigns. Children, and then young adults, would get used to following authority without feeling that they should challenge it constantly. Parents and guardians would also be encouraged to promote respecting the officials, and the following of the rules of the game. Sports have great potential to allow our younger generation to get used to following laws and rules, for the sake of a game running smoothly. Something that they can then enjoy playing.
Children and our young adults would automatically have a stake in the team they were part of. They would evolve interest in teamwork, and working for a common goal. This is incredibly valuable in forming skills that will be necessary when these young people look to do well in jobs and also within the community. No young player likes to be thought badly by their team. Many will learn how to change various behaviours that are looked down on by their peers or coaches. Empathy for others can also be encouraged and learnt. Players who are not picked, or losing teams give opportunities for others to respect the feelings of other people, and for good sportsmanship to begin to flourish.
Coaches and officials also offer the opportunity to be good role models to our younger generation. This means that the older generation must be aware of the fact that they have the ability to influence their players behaviours, through how they behave themselves. If we work hard as a country to encourage the coaches and officials to make a point of showing a good example, we will begin to show the younger people involved with clubs and associations around the country, that there are acceptable ways of conducting themselves, on and off the sports fields.
Sports incite passion, and a need to be part of something. If as a nation we can use it to promote good behaviours instead of negative ones, we will help our younger generation to develop better ways of handling their emotions, and offer alternatives to feeling left out of society. Money would have to be spent promoting various sports(sports trophies, sports awards) in some troublesome parts of the country, but this investment could turn out to be the best way to avoid more children and young people turning to antisocial behaviour as a way of amusing themselves. Our professional sports players also have a responsibility to conduct themselves in ways appropriate for a role model. This, however is worthy of its own article.

Meet Costa Rica
Join the Costa Rica Birding Contest 2020
What is Costa Rica Birding Contest?
The Costa Rica Birding Contest is an excellent opportunity for all amateur and passionate birders who want to add more bird species to their lists in one of the most wonderful places in the world. The country is home to more than 900 species of birds of which about 600 species are resident and the rest migrate from North America during winter, stop in Costa Rica before continuing their journey to South America. There are about 103 endemic species in the region. The density of avifauna in a very small territory of only 51'100 km2 makes Costa Rica one of the top five countries in bird counting in the world. Some of our past groups were able to spot over 500 species in just one week!
The Costa Rica Birding Contest is organized by ARA Tours, a well-established tour operator in Costa Rica since more than 25 years. We have put together a great itinerary along the main birdwatching hotspots in the country and invite you to join one of the small groups competing against each other.
You´re already winning just by participating!
In this contest, everyone wins, nobody loses! The best prize is living an amazing experience in a real birding paradise like Costa Rica and besides, you can help the environment donating a 3% of the total cost to the Costa Rica's Ornithologist Association (site only in Spanish), which is a non-profit organization whose main objective is to contribute to the study, research and conservation of wild birds and their habitats, helping to guide official and private policies in this field. It is also AOCR's priority to collaborate in the dissemination of knowledge about the 920 bird species of Costa Rica. In 1999 the association was declared of "public utility" by the Government of Costa Rica.
You will also recieve great surprises from our sponsors!
Register Online here
The Costa Rica Birding Contest takes place from September 29th through October 9th 2020, right during the great bird migration period.
Each team of maximum 6 birdwatchers will be accompanied by one of our specialist guides, who will assist you to spot and identify the highest possible amount of species. The teams will travel the same itinerary but in different order along the birding hotspots of Costa Rica and compete with each other in spotting more species of birds. The team that achieves the highest number during this contest will be the winner.
Of course you will also enjoy great landscapes, other animals, a fantastic flora and the cuisine and culture of the "ticos".
Upon arrival we will offer a welcome cocktail and briefing, in which we will give you all the details, rules and instructions about the contest.
You will then travel along the birding hotspots for 10 days. The last day before your departure or extension program, all the teams meet again for a Farewell Dinner during which the winner team will be defined and prizes will be awarded.

Your trip in Costa Rica Birding Contest
You are going to enroll yourself on a quest that includes the main destinations for birdwatching.
Central Valley, Heredia
The land in the valley is a relatively plain (1100m above sea level), despite being surrounded by several mountains and volcanoes. Although almost three quarters of the Costa Rican population lives here, not everything is towns and buildings in the Central Valley, there are plenty of lush and green grounds with many plantations. Two active volcanoes namely; Irazú and Poás have contributed the soil to be quite fertile and rich in minerals. Weather is very changeable in this region. However, temperatures are stable, ranging generally between 21 and 27°C.
Your hotel is designed for lovers of tropical gardens and the animals living here. The bedrooms allow you to take in the relaxing views over the gardens to the backdrop of the mountains surrounding Costa Rica's Central Valley.
Emblematic birds: Blue-crowned Motmot (Momotus lessonii), Clay-colored Thrush (Turdus grayi), Green-breasted Mango (Anthracothorax prevastii), White-naped Brush-finch (Atlapetes albinucha).
Other important species: Guanacaste tree (Enterolobium cyclocarpum), Cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae), Forrers Leopard frog (Lithobates forreri), Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis).
San Gerardo de Dota
This is the place to celebrate the simple joys of nature, which include breathing fresh air, taking a hike through the evergreen woods and marveling at the presence of the Resplendent Quetzal - considered by many one of the most beautiful feathery fellows in the world.
The Cerro de la Muerte is one of the highest mountain passes with its altitude of nearly 3'500 m. The tropical cloud forest grows dramatically, and apart from the great number of birds that can be observed in the region.
Don't forget you raincoat and jacket, since it can be quite chilly over here.
Emblematic birds: Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno), King-tailed Silky-flycatcher (Ptilogonys caudatus), Collared Trogon (Trogon collaris), Highland Tinamou (Nothocercus bonapartei).
Other important species: Tapir (Tapirus bairdii), Black Oak (Quercus costarricensis), White Oak (Quercus copeyensis), Montane Alligator Lizard (Mesaspis monticola), Fly Orchid (Ophrys insectifera), White Orchid (Sobralia Leucoxantha).
Tárcoles
This town is really close to the Carara National Park as well as to the Tarcoles Rivers estuary, two of the greatest birding spots in the region. Located at the central Pacific area, it is famous for the Tarcoles Bridge over the Tarcoles river, due to the amazing amount of crocodiles that can be seen here.
Thanks to the transitional climate conditions of the Carara National Park and surrounding area, evolution has developed an interesting jungle. There is a mix of tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest to be discovered, since it is something that doesn't exist in many places on earth. That's also why quite a number of endemic plants and animals can be found here. Rare Orchids and bromeliads can be admired and, regarding the world of birds, the large Scarlet Macaw can be spotted here as one of the main attractions.
Emblematic birds: Fiery-billed Araçari (Pteroglossus frantzii), Scarlet Macaws (Ara macao), Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens), Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius).
Other important species: Common Basilisk (Basiliscus basiliscus), Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor), Blue Morpho Butterfly (Morpho peleides).
This town, at the foot of Arenal Volcano has a fascinating effect specially on sunny days where the weather permits the volcano to be seen, the views are just imposing. Although it has been inactive since 2010, its powerful presence is still there.
Your accommodation includes a lodge with 870-acres and combines two life zones: the tropical rainforest of the Caribbean lowlands and the premontane forests of the Caribbean foothills. Diversity of habitats: second-growth woodlands and rainforest, agricultural pastures, gardens planted with flowering and fruiting trees and bushes, create various niches very rich for birds to inhabit. Do not miss the opportunity to climb "The Nest" the 28 m. observation tower , for a unique bird watching experience.
Emblematic birds: Crested Guan (Penelope purpurascens), Golden-hooded Tanager (Tangara larvata), Keel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus), Passerini's Tanager (Ramphocelus passerinii), Red-lored Parrot (Amazona autumnalis).

Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí
The Caribbean Lowlands are considered the richest ecosystem in the world. This part of the country along with the Caribbean Coast have the major number of birds in the country due to it's rainforest. The Braulio Carrillo National Park, Tirimbina reserve and La Selva Biological Station are important protected areas to be found here. These places have been crucial for researchers and important in the discovery of new species of flora and fauna through history. Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí along with the Braulio Carrillo's foothills and places nearby, all as one have been considered Costa Rica's capital for birds. This is for sure a destination you do not want to miss.
Emblematic birds: Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus), Sunbittern (Eurypyga helias), Snowy Cotinga (Carpodectes nitidus), Agami Heron (Agamia agami).
Other important species: Red-eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas), Brown Two-toed Sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni), Black Mantled Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata), Mountain Almond Tree (Dipteryx panamensis), Blue Jeans Poison Frog (Oophaga pumilio).
Puerto Viejo de Limón
For historic reasons the population is predominantly black, as well as numerous European immigrants characterize the region. The most important natural reserves in the region are the Cahuita National Park and the southern Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. They have beautiful beaches and rainforest trails with excellent bird watching opportunities. During october you can expect to experience the Northern bird migration in Puerto Viejo de Limón all month around. Keep you eyes open and do not miss one single winged fellow.
Emblematic birds: Common Black Hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus) , White-collared Manakin ( Manacus candei), Slaty-tailed Trogon (Trogon massena).
Other important species: Two and Three toed Sloths (Choloepus hoffmanni, Bradypus variegatus), Agouti Paca(Cuniculus paca).
The given emblematic bird species and the other important species are just some examples of the flora and fauna that can be found on each region. It always depends on different circumstances: weather, flowering and fruits, diffenrent behaviors, luck and most important mother nature.

Q: How do I show that the degree $n$ Taylor polynomials of $f$ about two points are equal? Question
Suppose that $f(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $d$, and that $n \ge d$. Let $x_0 \neq x_1$. Show that the degree $n$ Taylor polynomials of $f$ about $x_0$ and $x_1$ are equal.
Attempt
Let the polynomial be $f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{d}a_kx^k$. Then the Taylor polynomial of $f$ about $x_0$ is $$P_n(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \dfrac{f^{(k)}(x_0)(x-x_0)^k}{k!}$$
and the Taylor polynomial of $f$ about $x_1$ is $$Q_n(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \dfrac{f^{(k)}(x_1)(x-x_1)^k}{k!}.$$
For them to be equal, I think it would have to be the case that $P_n(x) - Q_n(x)= 0$
I tried with a simple example. Let $d=1$ and $n=3$. Then
$$f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{1}a_kx^k = a_0 + a_1x ,$$
$$P_3(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{3} \dfrac{f^{(k)}(x_0)(x-x_0)^k}{k!} = a_0 + a_1(x-x_0) ,$$
$$Q_3(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{3} \dfrac{f^{(k)}(x_1)(x-x_1)^k}{k!} = a_0 + a_1(x-x_1) .$$
However, $P_n(x) - Q_n(x)= 0 \Rightarrow x_0 = x_1$ or $a_1 = 0$. Where did I go wrong?
Thank you for your time.

A: The $k=0$ term in $P_3(x)$ should be $f(x_0)$, which is $a_0+a_1x_0$, not $a_0$. Similar remarks apply to $Q_3(x)$.

A: The degree $n$ Taylor polynomial of a polynomial of degree $\le n$ is simply that polynomial itself - no matter what point you develop at. If you don't believe it, observe that the Taylor error term is a multiple of some $f^{({n+1})}(\xi)$, hence zero.

9am - I just made an appointment for my Pacemaker to be checked. Kaiser's Pacemaker clinic is located in San Diego. This means that Scampy and I will be traveling together in order to arrive before April 24th, the appointment date.
Also, my Cousin Jacky is having a dinner party on April 15th. So, I was thinking about going to Jacky's home with Scampy. Afterwards, we will just continue going south and stay in the San Diego area for the Pacemaker appointment.
When we will be camping with Scampy, electric power will come from our Renogy Solar Panel. This will be the first time that we will use Renogy to charge Scampy's battery.
The solar panel is 100 watt. I am thinking that this will be enough electric power to keep Scampy's battery charged. We only use electric power for LED lights inside Scampy. Also, to keep our Mac computer charged.
I just returned from the movie theater. Saw, "Logan."
The thing that got me to go see this movie, was that it was rated #62 on the Internet Movie Data Base [link]. Above "To Kill A Mockingbird" #87!!
It has come to me that the present crop of humans, is not educated to appreciate good screen writing, character development and a plot. They like violence!
After all, "Logan" is a comic book character! In my opinion, this was NOT a terrible movie. But it is not even in the same league as "To Kill A Mockingbird."
if you need more power an additional panel is easily added.
We've given up on modern day Hollywood movies. The Golden Age of cinema has long since past. Now it is about how much money the film can make.
I'm not into lots of noise and special effects. We've now turned to international movies even if we have to read the subtitles in English.
I also like to watch shorts on YouTube. They show true imagination and cinematic art.
So happy that you are going to your cousin's Jacky's home. You and Scampy will have a great time. Hope your appointment goes well!
We have not been to a Theatre in years, don't think there is anything out there worth watching anymore. We have had a 130 watt panel on our coach for over 10 years now and keeps our batteries charged, and we can watch tv, charge our computers as well. You should be fine.
I believe today's writers are paid by how many times they can use the F word in a sentence. I lasted about 10 minutes and couldn't take it anymore. And what is now considered funny...I must be missing something because the laugh track will be going and I'm not the slightest bit amused. I don't think it's funny to make belittle folks...makes no sense to me. Give me a Bette Davis, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn movie any day.
Glad your going to get your pacemaker checked out. Take care, George. Safe travels.
Hi George, may I suggest a British movie series called The Last Kingdom written by Bernard Cornwel. It is on Netflix unfortunately with all the other rubbish new movies.
Yes about old movies over the internet!
During the past week, I have gotten Apocalypse Now, Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Usual Suspects and The Godfather.

Global scheduled air passenger traffic rose 4.9 per cent in 2012, and it will rise by a further 4.8 per cent this year, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). ICAO's report, which covers its 191 member airlines, showed a 4.9 per cent growth in passenger-kilometres performed (PKPs) but said it was "significantly lower" than the 6.6 per cent increase in 2011. Passenger numbers rose 4.7 per cent to almost three billion, while departures were up 0.7 per cent to 31.2m globally. "Despite regional turmoil and a pessimistic short-term economic outlook, the airlines of the Middle East should continue to register the fastest traffic growth in terms of PKPs, with a 10.2 per cent increase over 2012," ICAO said in a statement. During 2013, airlines in Latin America and the Caribbean; Asia-Pacific; and Africa are expected to grow by 7.6, 5.5 and 5.2 per cent, respectively. Scheduled passenger air traffic in Europe and North America should increase by 4.4 and 2.3 per cent, respectively.

Discredited gumshoe Frank Monte and his fiance, a madam, crowd-sourcing for reality show
By Kate McClymont
Updated September 25, 2015 — 6.12pm first published at 4.45pm
Time is running out for disreputable gumshoe Frank Monte. The private eye has turned to crowd-sourcing site Kickstarter to spruik for funds for his reality TV show.
But with only three days to go, only one donation of $1000 has been made, leaving $99,000 yet to be found.

With the working title The Private Eye and The Madam the show, to be set in Los Angeles, is to feature the daily antics of Mr Monte and his fiancee Sharon Sargeant who not only runs an escort agency but, at $1000 per hour, is the most expensive escort on her books.
"This story line is that of two famous, glamorous and interesting individuals living their busy life day to day," says Mr Monte in his sales pitch.
No doubt the NSW police will be following Mr Monte's fund-raising antics with interest as they are pursuing him for $80,000 in legal costs.
This follows Mr Monte's failed legal bid in 2012 to prevent the police cancelling his private investigator's licence due to his "lack of moral integrity" and his lengthy history of ripping off clients.
In an attempt to drum up business for his TV pilot, Mr Monte has offered to throw in a walk on role in the show plus a signed copy of his book The Spying Game for anyone donating $1000.
This memoir, which came to be known as "The Lying Game", was pulped more than a decade ago when the Federal Court found he had concocted a series of lies claiming he had been employed by the Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace. Mr Monte falsely claimed Versace had been murdered because of his Mafia dealings.
In that instance, Federal Court Justice Brian Tamberlin described the infamous gumshoe as "deceitful" and said his evidence lacked "any credibility whatsoever".
Mr Monte was bankrupted when he failed to pay $400,000 awarded to the Versaces.
However, his TV pitch does mention that he has been "maligned and besmirched by the Sydney press out of spite and jealousy mainly by one bitter woman journalist whom he sued successfully [damages won but secrecy clause applies] as late as 12th August 2015 in the Federal Court of Australia".
Mr Monte was referring to a recent judgment, publicly available, by Federal Court Judge Rolf Driver who awarded $10,001 in damages to Mr Monte after he claimed he held the copyright on the photo Ms Sargeant used to illustrate her twitter profile page.
After Fairfax Media published the photo, which still appears on Ms Sargeant's twitter profile, Mr Monte was awarded only $1 for breach of his copyright in publishing the photo but was awarded $10,000 in damages because Ms Sargeant and Mr Monte "were highly embarrassed" by the appearance of the raunchy photo in the paper.
Justice Driver said the photo "shows Ms Sargeant reclining on a bed in an alluring pose, naked from the waist up (except for a loose mesh item over her breasts and "pasties" over her nipples.) There is no doubt in my mind that the photograph is suggestive of professional sexual activity".
In his judgment, Justice Driver noted, "Mr Monte contends that the publication of the photograph caused grief to him as, coupled with the article, it drew attention to the fact that Ms Sargeant operates an escort business that was not previously known to her family and children".
Despite Mr Monte's successful action against Fairfax Media for breach of copyright, in his pitch for his TV show he has published, without permission, four photographs which belong to Fairfax Media.

Porcelain / Dental veneers are thin shells of tooth coloured materials that are bonded to the anterior (front) surfaces of teeth for an immediate smile transformation .
Individually customised for each patient , These cosmetic enhancements resemble the appearance of natural dental enamel .
They are made from porcelain or resin composite materials . Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and mimics light reflecting properties of natural teeth .
Resin veneers are thinner and less expensive as compared to porcelain veneers ,You need to discuss whats best for you with your dentist .
Gives a natural teeth appearance Porcelain maintains gum health Porcelain veneer are stain resistant More aesthetic and conservative approach to changing tooth color and shape as they require minimal removal of tooth surface, ULTRANEERS are the new generation veneers where there is no cutting of tooth at all and hence preserving the natural structure .
Veneers generally last for a period of 5 to 10 years after which they requires replacement . Alternatives to veneers include bonding and crowns .The cost of veneers is generally not covered by insurances but you can cheek with your specific dental insurance company.

Q: Webservice, Generating WSDL with elementFormDefault = "Unqualified" we are right now trying to expose a Web Service method to another company. Their demands are that the method is OneWay and we need to have the attribute **elementFormDefault = "Unqualified" **.
We don't fully understand the way this works, we are using VS 2010 and we added a new Item called "Web Service". Then we defined our Web Method and build the solution. Everything worked well and the WSDL generated looks good. The only problem is that we always have elementFormDefault = "Qualified" no matter how we define our class.
We can make the WSDL generated to indicate that all attributes are unqualified but we always have the element for default defined as qualified...
When our client tries to use our method we receive empty information...
our class to generate the XML is this one, note that the class is a bit messy as we tried multiple solutions:

As we write this report we are completing 2020 days since we crossed the Galactic Synchronization event horizon of July 26, 2013 • NS1.26.1.1. KIN 164 Yellow Galactic Seed.
According to the biosphere-noosphere transition timeline, this day signaled the arrival to Earth of the "New Galactic Beam", the entrance into higher resonance with the new 13:20 timing frequency and the activation of new evolutionary programs. This was the second most important evolutionary threshold after the closing the 13-Baktun cycle of history on 2012-21-12 (OMEGA Point of 13-Baktun Map).
Diagram of the "13-Baktun Beam passage of planet Earth" (3113BC-2012AC) , page 111 of "The Mayan Factor. Path Beyond Technology" by José Arguelles.
As we wrap up this 7th moon of the year it is also worth noting that, days 2021-2022 are synchronizing in a very elegant way with both the 13-moon count and the Tzolkin count of 260 days. How is this?
Day 2021 corresponds to the last day of this 7th moon, marking the 28th day of the 28th week of the year.
On the galactic count of 260 days it corresponds to KIN 104 13 Seed the last day of the 13-day wavespell of the Human and also OMEGA point of the second 52-day cycle of the Tzolkin. 104 is also a fractal of the Venus Round of 104 years and marks day 104 of the 5th Venus synodic cycle that closes the 8-Year Pentagrammic cycle of 2012–2020..
Day 2022 marks the start of the 8th moon of the year and the start of the 9th 13-day Wavespell of Life Force, corresponding to KIN 105 1Serpent. This is of special significance as there is a difference of 105 days between the galactic count of 260 days and the Lunar-Solar Count of 365 days.
There are 13 major articulations in the human body. The seventh articulation is the spine. The human energetic system contains seven primary energy centers that run through the spine. There are seven openings of the human head and seven glands of the human endocrine system.
This is then a crucial passage and a good opportunity to TUNE IN to the messages of the synchronic order embedded in the fabric of our everyday reality… The purpose of this new entry is to serve as a holographic container to recapitulate the most significant events comprised during this 13-day and 28-day cycles that we are NOW closing.
At the time of publication (May 2018/11th Moon of New Sirius Cycle 30), we highlighted the growing tensions developing in the Middle East, the cradle of Human civilization .
Tensions rising in the world between the dominant geopolitical forces of "the West" (US+Europe) and "the East" (Russia + China). This apparent clash of paradigms is a function of years of unresolved differences between the "opposing sides" of an agonizing materialistic paradigm that is now desperately fighting for survival.
Tensions rising in US between the red and blue parties due to the building of a wall at the southern border.
As a result of this geo-political confrontation, social-media is now the virtual scenario for heated debates, polarized views and heightened sensitivities.
Are we reaching a new boiling/tipping point...?
The magnetic pole is moving erratically out of the Canadian Arctic and toward Siberia so unpredictably that it took scientists by surprise. As a result, "The World Magnetic Model (WMM) — the name of the updated representation of the magnetic field of Earth — was just released.
As we write this report we are closing the 7th moon of the year at the heart of the 13-Moon count….
From the perspective of the synchronic order, the explosion of a new planetary geo-political crisis with Venezuela as epicenter, right during this year midpoint and the start of the Human 13-day wavespell of Free Will is of SPECIAL interest considering the multiple layers of historic and synchronic resonance embedded into this new chapter of the humanitarian crisis around the world. We will expand on this later.
Every year this day also marks the birthday of the "Messenger of Time", José Arguelles/Valum Votan, the man who brought back to the collective consciousness the date December 21st, 2012 as the most significant evolutionary marker for humanity and the planet.
Last January 22, 2019 we completed a master number milestone of 2222 days from crossing the 13-Baktun count OMEGA Time Portal. On that same day we also completed 11 Tzolkins from Arguelles departure (OMEGA) (March 23rd, 2011). 3 days later, on Day 15 of this 7th Moon of the 13 Moon year, the resonant moon of attunement we commemorated 80 years from his arrival (ALPHA) to this planet. This is a cycle of key prophetic significance as it corresponds to the lifespan of Pacal Votan on Earth and marks the completion of a perfect holographic fractal of 4 cycles of 20 years known as Ajaw Katuns. We will expand on this later.
These new series is also rooted in this simple binary approach, so on this report we will bring back to consciousness KEY aspects of the narrative presented on this website 260 days ago.
Build a "post-2012″ timeline of events, that can serve as a guide to establish a coherent narrative connected to his life and teachings over the course of TIME.
Provide a larger historic context to appreciate José's message at this PRESENT time on Earth.
Over time, this process has been enabling us to keep adding new KEY chronological and archetypal elements to this narrative. It is also allowing us to by-pass the traps of the third dimensional drama and contemplate the current state of chaos from a higher and ALL-ENCOMPASSING perspective based entirely in Synchronicity.
Considering the current state of heightened polarization and conflict around the globe, we will revisit the text from 260 days ago in italics and then add commentaries with new insights and updates related to the current planetary emergency we are transiting.
Are we willing to follow the path of technology, or are we willing to make a quantum evolutionary shift and take the "path beyond technology"…?
During the past 260 days, as the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East keeps escalating, a new migrant crisis has now reached a new boiling point in Latin America.
The nuclear tensions between US and Russia.
The crisis in Venezuela that is serving as a catalyzer for even more rifts and tensions.
COHERENCE: a continuous and coherent FLOW between these events via Synchronicity .
Red (initiates)White (refines) Blue (transforms) Yellow (ripens).
As mentioned before, from the perspective of the synchronic order, the explosion of a new planetary geo-political crisis with Venezuela as epicenter, is of special interest considering the multiple layers of historic and synchronic resonance surrounding this new chapter of the humanitarian drama/crisis we are witnessing around the world.
The purpose of this exploration is to actively engage with what is happening on the surface of the Earth, and also consciously engage with the fourth-dimensional workings of the synchronic order. In this way we telepathically activate the noosphere, the thinking layer of the Earth.
1. The critical events took place right during the MID-POINT / HEART of the 13 Moon year. REMEMBER: Every year days 14+15 of this resonant moon of attunement (Gregorian January 23+24) mark the EXACT CORE of the year, and the POLAR opposite position from Day Out of Time (July 25th).
2019-1-25• 7.16 The international crisis explodes when tensions between world powers surge and US calls for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council . This day corresponded to KIN 92 1 Human and the start of the 13-day cycle of Free Will.
2019-1-26• 7.17 Important geopolitical and ideological rifts among world leaders were clearly exposed during the UN Security Council emergency meeting.
This is a very delicate situation as it is creating much unnecessary tension and polarization around the world.
2. Within the Planet Holon, Earth is divided into 20 zones. Each zone is coded by one of 20 solar seals. Venezuela is located at the heart of the Human bio-region.
3. The Bolivarian revolution was inspired by the ideals of Simon Bolivar, colloquially known as El Libertador (The Liberator), a Venezuelan military and political leader who absolved from the Spanish Empire what are currently the states of Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Panama.
"El Libertador" was born on Day 28 of the 13th Moon of the year as a Yellow Planetary Human (KIN 192) (July 24, 1783) EXACT polar opposite day of this 13-moon year midpoint, the moment when the international crisis reached its climax.
4. 121 Tzolkins after Bolivar's birth, on October 2, 1869 (KIN 192 10 Human) another revolutionary was born in India: Mahatma Gandhi, the man who liberated India from British Imperialism… NOTE: 121 = 11×11.
5. 213 Tzolkins after Bolivar's birth, on April 15th, 1935, (KIN 192 10 Human) the first PEACE treaty between the 22 nations of the Americas was signed, fulfilling his long-life vision of a UNIFIED American continent. A New World freed from the rule of the Old World.
22 Nations of the Americas sign the Roerich Pact in Washington DC in 1935.
6. Bolivar actions were heavily influenced by the French Revolution. The Storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 , is commemorated every year as French National Day as it represented a turning point of the French Revolution. This day corresponded to KIN 32 6Human on the Tzolkin count.
7. The yellow vests movement or yellow jackets movement (French: Mouvement des gilets jaunes) is a grassroots political movement for economic justice born in France in 2018 .
The first demonstrations of the Yellow Vests movement took place in France on Saturday, November 17, 2018 (NS1.31.5.3 KIN 23 10Night). Please notice that 32 is the perfect MIRROR of 23.
Since then, the demonstrations have been taking place every 7 days for 11 consecutive weeks with thousands of demonstrators wearing the high-visibility yellow vests across Europe.
The 12th act of the Yellow Vest Human Movement took place this past Saturday February 2nd, 2019 (2.2), the 33rd (32+1) day of the Gregorian year.
It is also interesting to note that the 7th Act took place on January 5th, 2019 • KIN 72 Yellow Resonant (7) Human.
Organized via social media, the grassroots protests have few visible leaders, and reject all ties to political parties or unions.
26 Tzolkins since we crossed the EXACT midpoint of the 26-Year cycle of the Harmonic Convergence (1987 to 2013), envisioned and organized by José Arguelles + Lloydine Burris (Valum Votan + Bolon Ik).
This 26-Year cycle was comprised by 2 perfect mirror cycles of 13 years each: 1987-1999 and 2000-2013 (see diagram) with 1999-2000 at the center. This midpoint corresponded to Day Out of Time 2000 (July 25), KIN 98 7Mirror (OMEGA point of New Sirius Cycle 13: NS1.13.0.0) and it also marked the first Circumpolar Rainbow Bridge Meditation around the Earth.
+ 52x3+1 years from the discovery of Sirius B.
ENTERING INTO RESONANCE WITH A BRIGHTER FUTURE: WHAT IF?
Re-blogging on NS1.31.8.8 KIN 112 8Human. Magic Turtle Day!
He assumed office January 25, 2019, NS1.31.7.16 KIN 92 1 Human,day when the international crisis exploded and one day after his 71st solar return as KIN 91 13Monkey.
This actor has a highly questionable reputation given the multiple accusations of abuse of power during his role as Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs and his participation in crimes against humanity in El Salvador and Guatemala, where many indigenous Maya were persecuted and killed under his watch more than 30 years ago. According to Wikipedia he was also a "key architect behind the Iraq War".
Today marks the exit/OMEGA point of the Mystic Harmonic 33 comprised between KIN 129-130-131-132 at the Heart of the 260-day Tzolkin Matrix.
The completion of 6 years of the death of Hugo Chavez, predecessor of current president Nicolas Maduro, on March 5, 2013 (NS1.25.8.27 KIN 21 8Dragon) is marked by the polarized power struggle between forces supporting Maduro and Guaido, who called on public sector workers to strike at union meeting today.

Over 60% of China's Population May Get Infected, Says Epidemiologist Ericv Feigl-Ding

Aspiring reporter covering trending topics
CHINA: Beijing faces a massive surge in severe COVID-19 cases over the next two weeks after the government eased the "zero COVID policy" curbs a few weeks ago, resulting in overwhelming hospitals in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing.
"Over 60% of China's and 10% of the Earth's population will likely be infected within the next 90 days," and "the deaths will likely be in the millions," warned Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist and health economist.
"This is just the start," Feigl-Ding tweeted while posting a video from a hospital showing dead bodies packed in rooms and hallways.
Several reports indicate that crematoria intended for COVID victims have once again been inundated with the dead, evoking sights similar to the virus's initial onslaught.
The epidemiologist also stated that cremations are ongoing in Beijing and warned of overcrowded mortuaries. "24/7 funerals… 2,000 bodies backlogged for cremations." Sound familiar? "It is spring 2020 all over again—but this time for China, emulating a more Western-style mass infection approach," he tweeted.
The expert claimed the time for doubling the illness case in China may not be days anymore; instead, it is now possibly "hours." Additionally, he said that if the doubling rate is less than a day, it is difficult to calculate R-naught, a statistic that reflects the number of individuals that a single infected person can spread the disease to.
He stated that the CCP's current COVID objective might be summed up as follows: "Let whoever needs to be infected – infected, let whoever needs to die – die. Early infections, early deaths, early peak, early resumption of production."
"PCR tests cannot be performed that quickly. The point is that China and the world are in deep trouble," he said.
"What happens in China doesn't remain in China," the health expert continued, adding that "Wuhan was our lesson three years ago. The global fallout of this 2022–2023 wave will not be small," he said.
Curb's relaxation spikes cases
Following widespread demonstrations, the 1.4 billion-person nation this month started to dismantle its "zero-COVID" programme of lockdowns and testing that had mostly kept the virus at bay for three years, at significant economic and psychological costs.
The relaxation coincided with a rise in COVID cases, which experts predict will continue through the winter and may result in over a million deaths in China the following year.
China, which has a narrow definition of what counts as a COVID fatality, reported no further COVID deaths on December 20, compared to five the day before.
Since the pandemic began, the nation's overall fatalities have been revised to 5241 after removing one casualty in Beijing.
That figure could skyrocket in the coming weeks, according to a top Chinese respiratory expert who predicts a surge in severe cases.
Wang Guangfa, a respiratory expert from Peking University First Hospital, told the publication, "We must act promptly and establish fever clinics and emergency and severe treatment resources."
Tuesday saw a 53 percent surge in severe cases across China, compared to a 23 percent increase the day before. Absolute numbers of serious cases are not provided by China.
Wang anticipates that the COVID wave will peak in late January, with life likely returning to normal by the end of February or the beginning of March.
In mainland China, deaths are allegedly underreported, said other experts. A survey of Beijing's hospitals, funeral homes, and related funeral industry chains revealed a recent explosion in funeral services, which is attributed to the city's high rise in mortality. Ibuprofen is fully sold out everywhere, so people flocked to a pharmaceutical business to purchase it.
The Beijing Emergency Medical Center advised only critically ill patients to call for ambulances earlier this month, saying that the increase in emergency requests—from an average of approximately 5,000 per day to 30,000 per day—is straining the ability of paramedics to assist.

Lifetime's "It's A Wonderful Lifetime" Review: 'A New Orleans Noel'
Home » Lifetime's "It's A Wonderful Lifetime" Review: 'A New Orleans Noel'
One has to wonder who does the green lighting of movies on Lifetime, because they seem to find the worst things that they could make and go with it. While A New Orleans Noel tries, it definitely falls short. And the only reason that we're even giving it that much credit is because it has Patti LaBelle in it and therefore, we will be a little kinder than this movie deserves.
Now we will be the first to admit that we're harsh when it comes to Christmas movies. Why? Because Christmas and the holidays should make you feel a certain way. You should find hope. You should find purpose. You should feel magic.
We felt none of those when it comes to A New Orleans Noel.
In the movie, "Grace Hill (Keshia Knight Pulliam) and Anthony Brown (Brad James) could not be more different. Despite having gone to college to study architecture together, their lives took them on completely separate paths. But when they're both hired to work together on the home of Loretta Brown (Patti LaBelle)—a New Orleans praline icon—the two find themselves stuck working together at Christmas…and butting heads over more than just architecture. When Anthony and his family discover that Grace will be celebrating Christmas alone, they invite her to take part in their traditions and their celebrations. Soon, fiercely independent Grace begins to learn the importance of family and community, while modern Anthony learns to embrace tradition and the magic of Christmas. And when Grace is offered a new job far away from New Orleans, she'll have to decide if she'll leave or follow her heart."
Grace isn't one to ever settle down in one place. She's more of a person on the go, traveling the world and always onto the next project. But she's in New Orleans to work on redoing the house of Loretta Brown. Loretta is a New Orleans icon – known for her pralines.
Now, one thing that Grace didn't expect is that she would run into her old crush, Anthony. She tried to avoid him, but she couldn't do that when they were both hired to do the renovations on Loretta's house. Not to mention that Loretta is Anthony's grandma… so that makes it interesting.
Grace doesn't seem to get how stand offish she is. She thinks she's just a little guarded, because she's always on the go. But the truth is – she's completely closed off. She can see the fault in what everyone else does, but she doesn't ever seem to want to acknowledge the fault in herself.
That is until Anthony. He's the same as she is – closed off, just focused on work, and thinks that is all that matters. He wants to protect a legacy, one that he seems to have no idea about. Seriously, he's not even sure what is going on with his family half the time.
But Grace and Anthony are always at each others throats, in the calmest and snidest of ways. Each one doesn't want to be the person whose ideas aren't taken seriously, but also neither one wants to back down to accept the others.
Anthony's family is kind and welcoming and embrace Grace as a member of their family. They love her and notice that she's alone. But I don't really feel like it's a pity thing that they are doing. I feel like there is an instant connection because they want to piss Anthony off. Yes, they are all close, but I am not sure if they want to teach him a lesson or if they want him to stop working so much or whatever. Because the thing is – I know that they love him. I just am not sure that they aren't trying to manipulate the situation because they think that they know what is best.
Grace is the type that runs from any sort of emotion. She's scared of feeling and she's definitely scared of people loving her.
The two push and pull at each other, which ends up making the evolution of their relationship supposed to be drama, but the drama is anticlimactic and actually feels someone forced. The two have about as much on screen chemistry as I do with Orlando Bloom (none). Keshia Knight Pulliam and Brad James, who star in the movie, are married. However, I really just didn't feel any in this movie. Hell, I was shocked to find out that they were married.
It definitely didn't translate to the screen.
What the movie tried to show was that family isn't just DNA, it can also be who you choose. However, that being said – the entire Brown family felt overwhelming and pushy. But even I can move past that, because they really just want to do what is best for their Anthony.
Even when he remains selfish.
The highlight of the movie was Anthony's niece, Jordan. She reminded us of the innocence of children and that they can see things that we can't and we should appreciate that.
But overall, this movie is a pass and that is unfortunately because of the lack of on screen chemistry between Keshia Knight Pulliam and Brad James.
Don't really get Brad and trying to figure out a praline recipe. I do get him wanting to show a part of the family – but like I don't know. He just didn't seem like he cared.
The best friend was over the top
Patti Labelle is always flawless
Anthony forgetting to pick up his sister in law, makes me dislike him even more.
Agree? Disagree? What do you think?

Gas-Detecting Laser Device Gets an Upgrade
By Morgan Sherburne, University of Michigan | October 24, 2018
University of Michigan researchers have refined a gas-sniffing device so that it can detect poisonous gases and explosives in less than half a second.
The laser-based method could be used as a security device in airports or to monitoring for pollutants or toxins in the environment. The physicists' findings build upon a method they developed last year that detects gases in about four or five minutes. The current device uses three lasers to shorten the detection time significantly. Their updated research is published in Nature Photonics.
"The big advantage is that you can do this detection with a much simpler, much more compact, much more robust device, and at the same time, you can do this detection much faster and with much less acquisition time," said Steven Cundiff, the project's lead author and the Harrison M. Randall Professor of Physics in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
"This is critical for making the device practical. If you're monitoring the environment, you need to do it reasonably quickly because of fluctuations in the environment. You don't want to wait five minutes to figure out if something has a toxin in it."
Gases have certain wavelengths that can be read using lasers. Cundiff and physics research fellow Bachana Lomsadze's first device used a method called "multidimensional coherent spectroscopy," or MDCS. MDCS uses ultrashort laser pulses to read these wavelengths like barcodes. A gas's particular wavelength identifies the type of gas it is.
Many gases have a very rich spectra for certain wavelengths, or colors, of light—although the "colors" may actually be in the infrared, so not visible the human eye. These spectra make them easily identifiable. But this becomes difficult when scientists try to identify gases in a mixture. In the past, scientists relied on checking their measurements against a catalogue of molecules, a process that requires high-performance computers and a significant amount of time.
Cundiff's previous method used MDCS with another method called dual-comb spectroscopy to shorten detection time to that four or five minutes. Frequency combs are laser sources that generate spectra consisting of equally spaced sharp lines. These lines are used as rules to measure the spectral features of atoms and molecules, identifying them with extreme precision. In dual-comb spectroscopy, the lasers send pulses of light in different patterns in order to quickly scan for the fingerprints of gases.
Now, Cundiff and Lomsadze have added another layer of laser detection to pare down that detection time even further, using a method that they have dubbed "tri-comb spectroscopy." This is also the first time tri comb spectroscopy has been demonstrated, Cundiff says.
The research group added a third laser and paired the lasers with software that can program the pattern of light pulses that the lasers emit. The lasers are synchronized with each other to generate light pulses so that the lasers are constantly scanning to identify gases.
Here's how the device works: Two lasers send light pulses in the same direction which combine into a single beam. This beam passes through a gas vapor, and after the beam passes through the vapor, it is combined with the beam from a third laser. Then, the final beam hits a signal detector that measures the spectra of the gas mixture and identifying the gases. While this demonstration used "home-built" lasers that are not particularly compact or robust, equivalent commercially available lasers measure about 10 inches by four inches by two inches.
Similar to their work last year, Lomsadze and Cundiff tested their method in a vapor of rubidium atoms that contained two rubidium isotopes. The frequency difference between absorption lines for the two isotopes is too small to be observed using traditional approaches to MDCS, but by using combs, Lomsadze and Cundiff were able to resolve these lines and assign the spectra of the isotopes based on how the energy levels were coupled to each other. Their method is general and can be used to identify chemicals in a mixture without previously knowing the makeup of the mixture.
Cundiff hopes to implement the device in existing fiber optic technology, and controlling the laser pulses with software. That way, the software can be adapted to particular environments.
"This is one step toward the goal of software reconfigurable spectroscopy," Cundiff said. "This is similar to software reconfigurable radio technology, in which the same hardware can be used for different applications, such as a cell phone or an FM receiver, simply by loading different software."

The first pulse from comb 1 (blue), which is a complex phase-conjugated pulse (E1*), creates a coherence between the ground state and an excited state (evolution for a single resonance is shown in light blue); the second pulse from comb 2 (black) converts this coherence into a population of the excited state and then converts this population into a third-order coherence that radiates a FWM signal, which for an inhomogeneously broadened system is a photon echo (red). The FWM signal is then heterodyned with the local oscillator comb. Credit: Nature Photonics

Q: AngularJS - triggering a `visibility` not updating one time binding I am adding my datas as one time binding. and as well I am trying to updating the list of data too.
for trigger a update, I am trying to toggling the ng-show directive. But I am not getting the expected result. Might be I required to do all CURD operations with one time bindng - any one show the issue what i keep here or the correct way to do?
here is my code :
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope,$timeout) {

  $scope.visible = true;
  $scope.name = 'World';

  $scope.data = [
      {"name":"name1","city":"city1"},
      {"name":"name2","city":"city2"},

Amazon (AMZN) reported better-than-expected earnings on Thursday afternoon, a day after Facebook's (FB) lackluster second-quarter earnings report led to a historic sell-off.
After Amazon.com Inc. released its financial results Thursday, its shares rose more than 3 percent to $1,870.23 in after-hours trading. With a market value of $916.97 billion, Amazon is racing with Apple Inc and Alphabet Inc to be the world's first trillion-dollar public company.
The online retailing giant's Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud business is the key profit maker, up almost 48.9 percent to 6.11 billion dollars in sales. The company's stock is up 57 percent so far this year.
As an e-commerce behemoth whose online sales account for nearly half of the total in the United States, Amazon expects its revenue to grow to between 54 billion to 57.5 billion dollars in the third quarter, with a projected operating income of 1.4 billion dollars to 2.4 billion dollars.
Amazon also announced last month that it is buying the online pharmacy PillPack, pushing it deeper into the health care industry.
CFO Olsavsky noted that third-party sales were changing the profit equation for Amazon, too.
One of the most popular features for using Alexa-powered devices is the ability to listen to music, he said.
Operating income for Amazon Web Services (AWS) the company's fast-growing cloud services business, rose 80% to $1.64bn, powering profits for the entire company. The company said the category, including some other items, grew 132 per cent to $2.2 billion.
Amazon has become a formidable e-commerce search engine, competing with Google to be the first place where shoppers start when they want to buy products online.
Amazon Fashion launched Prime Wardrobe in the US earlier this year, allowing Prime members to try clothing, shoes, and accessories before they buy.
Amazon reached a record profit as itsnet income grew 12-fold from a year ago, signaling that the e-Commerce giant has a firm grasp on its high-margin businesses.
Brian Olsavsky, Amazon's chief financial officer, expanded on the company's advertising fortunes during a conference call with analysts.
"We've seen a greater-than-expected efficiency in a lot of our spend in things like warehouses, data centers, marketing", Reuters quoted him as saying.
While this was slightly below analyst expectations of just over 53 billion dollars, the company's profits were much higher than anticipated, at 2.5 billion dollars (£1.9bn), up from 197 million (£150m) this time previous year.
Additionally, Prime members shopped Prime Day deals at Whole Foods Market for the first time.
Hiking the annual USA price of Prime 20 percent during the second quarter showed few signs of discouraging sign-ups.
Despite the phenomenal numbers for AWS, CEO Jeff Bezos chose to use the quarterly report to talk up another Amazon product: the Alexa virtual assistant and its ongoing efforts to expand both its range of devices and its geographic availability.

The SAGA histone acetyltransferase complex regulates leucine uptake through the Agp3 permease in fission yeast.
The Journal of biological chemistry (2012-09-21)

Metabolic responses of unicellular organisms are mostly acute, transient, and cell-autonomous. Regulation of nutrient uptake in yeast is one such rapid response. High quality nitrogen sources such as NH(4)(+) inhibit uptake of poor nitrogen sources, such as amino acids. Both transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms operate in nutrient uptake regulation; however, many components of this system remain uncharacterized in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Here, we demonstrate that the Spt-Ada-Gcn acetyltransferase (SAGA) complex modulates leucine uptake. Initially, we noticed that a branched-chain amino acid auxotroph exhibits a peculiar adaptive growth phenotype on solid minimal media containing certain nitrogen sources. In fact, the growth of many auxotrophic strains is inhibited by excess NH(4)Cl, possibly through nitrogen-mediated uptake inhibition of the corresponding nutrients. Surprisingly, DNA microarray analysis revealed that the transcriptional reprogramming during the adaptation of the branched-chain amino acid auxotroph was highly correlated with reprogramming observed in deletions of the SAGA histone acetyltransferase module genes. Deletion of gcn5(+) increased leucine uptake in the prototrophic background and rendered the leucine auxotroph resistant to NH(4)Cl. Deletion of tra1(+) caused the opposite phenotypes. The increase in leucine uptake in the gcn5Δ mutant was dependent on an amino acid permease gene, SPCC965.11c(+). The closest budding yeast homolog of this permease is a relatively nonspecific amino acid permease AGP3, which functions in poor nutrient conditions. Our analysis identified the regulation of nutrient uptake as a physiological function for the SAGA complex, providing a potential link between cellular metabolism and chromatin regulation.
