2023 Auction Photos
The rotating slide show above consists of eight groupings from the upcoming 2023 All-Cambridge Auction, scheduled for March 18, 2023 at the Pritchard-Laughlin Center in Cambridge, Ohio. Here is the Auction Catalog for this year. The Miami Valley Study Group has photographed each item, and you can view them on the MVSG web site.
Our next Zoom session is on February 21
The topic for discussion is "Charleton Decorations on Cambridge Glass (Les Hansen)." Tune in on Tuesday, February 21, 8:00pm (Eastern time). Click on the ZOOM logo at left to receive an email with detailed instructions.
NCC's ZOOM sessions are open to everyone, not just members. They always prove to be quite interesting, and you get to see pieces that are scarce, if not rare.
And a good time was had by all
The annual Convention is over, and judging from the attendance, it seems like everyone had a really good time. We enjoyed seeing authors Margaret and Kenn Whitmyer and Margaret's presentation on Cambridge Perfumes. The Glass Show was beautiful and the Glass Dash was frenetic, as usual. If you missed it, plan to come next year.
Results of All-Cambridge Auction March 19, 2022
This year's Auction was a success, although the total ($27,125) realized was lower than in previous years. This was likely due to the increase in gas prices and still some reluctance to gatherings due to COVID. The results are posted here.
The Miami Valley Study Group has photographed each of the 400+ items and they are available for viewing on their web site. Thanks to them for the hard work.
2021 (Delayed) Auction Results are in
The long delayed (from March 2020) All-Cambridge Auction was finally held on October 9, 2021. NCC realized $34,181 from the sale. Thanks to all who participated and a big thanks to the folks who did all the work to run the auction. The individual results are posted on our auction page.
Check out another video of the Cambridge Museum
Patrick Deering, a collector and dealer, has made a great video of his visit to the National Museum of Cambridge Glass and has given permission for us to post it here. He really shows most of the Museum. This should entice those who haven't yet visited to "Come on down."
"ZOOM and TELL" Programming
Since November 2020, NCC has sponsored a "Zoom and Tell" session on the third Thursday of each month, and this will continue in 2021. The first two were quite successful, and we invite you to participate in future sessions. Each session includes time for dialogue and viewing an assortment of glass related to that month's topic.
The goal of our "ZOOM and TELL" is to provide collectors an informal opportunity to share information about their favorite pieces of Cambridge glass based upon a specific theme. Enjoy fellowship with your other Friends of Cambridge; and "ooh and ahh" over all shared glass. This is for everyone, so if you live in New York, or California, or points in between, make time to join us if you can. You do NOT have to be a member of NCC to participate in the session.

TWO 2020 videos of the Museum
We are proud to offer two new videos of the Museum, thanks to a grant from the Cambridge/Guernsey County Visitors and Convention Bureau. The short version lasts less than a minute and provides a quick overview, while the long version runs a bit over four minutes and provides a more detailed look inside the Museum for 2020. Enjoy them both.
A web site just for the Museum
The site is designed to attract the leisure and group tour market and allow motorcoach companies easy access to museum programs and tour information, making the museum an attractive option for booking tours. It is not for the serious collectors. This new website was paid in full with funds from the Cambridge/Guernsey County VCB GAP Grant. Here is the link to the new Museum web site.
THREE VIDEOS of the Museum
Here is a video of the National Museum of Cambridge Glass, featuring our volunteer Director of the Museum, Cindy Arent. The video gives an excellent overview of the Museum, and should be an enticement for those who have never visited. We hope you will enjoy viewing it.
The second video comes from the Stranathan family. Their great-grandfather and great-great grandfather made the first piece of Cambridge Glass, the Big X pitcher. This video is special, in that the kids take you on the tour, and they do a fantastic job!
The third video was privately made by Patrick Deering for his series of You Tube videos. It is an especially good tour through the whole NCC Museum. We would like to thank him for giving permission to us to post the video. Here's a link to his site: Trusty Huckster Mercantile.

Yes I do have a specific question. I'd like to know the quickest way to learn about social media for business.
I've been working in communications at a software company for more than 14 years. I haven't had to use social media because the company's market is very specialized and wouldn't require it.
However, I'm currently looking for another job in Communications and while I have a strong writing/editing background in both English and French, I have never done Web 2.0. It seems to be a strong requirement for many Communications jobs I see.


We're looking at a muggy, warm and wet Friday, followed by a mild weekend with a chance of showers throughout the entire weekend. Trails have started to dry out, but Friday's rain and the weekend showers will result in numerous wet and muddy areas for the weekend. Black flies continue to be out throughout the mountains.
Forecast: Friday will be rainy with a high temperature in the 80s. Friday night will be rainy, with a low in the mid-60s. Saturday will bring a chance for passing showers and thunderstorms with a high around 75 degrees. Saturday night will see a continued slight chance for rain showers with a low around 55 degrees. The chance for showers continues on Sunday with a high around 70 degrees. On Sunday night there's a continued chance for showers and the low will be around 50.
Ticks: Ticks carrying lyme disease are present and active in the Catskills. Be sure to be properly prepared (see our suggested products) and always complete a tick check after hiking to ensure there are no ticks on your body. More information on ticks and hiking. If you find a tick on your body, make sure to remove it properly.


STURGEON class submarines were built for anti-submarine warfare in the late 1960s and 1970s. Using the same propulsion system as their smaller predecessors of the SSN-585 Skipjack and SSN-594 Permit classes, the larger Sturgeons sacrificed speed for greater combat capabilities.
They are equipped to carry the HARPOON missile, the TOMAHAWK cruise missile, and the MK-48 and ADCAP torpedoes. Torpedo tubes are located amidships to accommodate the bow-mounted sonar. The sail-mounted dive planes rotate to a vertical position for breaking through the ice when surfacing in Arctic regions.
Beginning with SSN-678 Archerfish units of this class had a 10-foot longer hull, giving them more living and working space than previous submarines of the Sturgeon Class.
A total of six Sturgeon-class boats were modified to carry the SEAL Dry Deck Shelter [DDS], one in 1982 and five between 1988 and 1991. They are; SSN 678-680, 682, 684, 686 are listed as "DDS Capable" -- either permanently fitted with the DDS or trained with them. In this configuration they are primarily tasked with the covert insertion of Special Forces troops from an attached Dry Deck Shelter (DDS). The Dry Deck Shelter is a submersible launch hanger with a hyperbaric chamber that attaches to the ship's Weapon Shipping Hatch. The DDS provides the most tactically practical means of SEAL delivery due to its size, capabilities, and location on the ship.
Rapidly being phased out in favor of the LOS ANGELES and SEAWOLF Classes of attack submarines, this venerable and flexible workhorse of the submarine attack fleet continues to operate in the forward areas of the world to this day. Attracting little publicity during its heyday, this class of ship was the platform of choice for many of the Cold War missions for which submarines are now famous. After a 5-year study was completed on the SSN-637 class submarine, the design life was extended from 20 years to 30 years, with a possible extension to 33 years on a case-by-case basis. However, many boats of this class were retired prior to this limit in order to avoid expensive reactor refueling operations.

Two days in a row with a Mike Flanagan movie, with this one being based on a Stephen King novel. Like Hush, Gerald's Game is a very confined movie that puts you right with the protagonists. The movie is about a couple who retreat to an isolated lake house to spice up their marriage in their remote lake house but Jessie ends up fighting to survive when her husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her handcuffed to their bed frame. The movie stars Carla Gugino as Jessie and Bruce Greenwood as Gerald. Carla Gugino is phenomenal in this movie, I'd even say it's the best performance of her career. Chiara Aurelia also did a great job handling the mature situations as a young Jessie in flashbacks.
Flanagan and Gugino do an excellent job displaying the trauma (both past and present) Jessie is forced to deal with, her fight to survive while cuffed to the bed, and her fight between what is real and what are delusions brought on by the trauma. Much like with Hush Flanagan really excels at building and keeping the tension going throughout the movie, it'll definitely keep you invested the whole time.
My one complaint about the movie is the ending. It wasn't bad by any means, it was definitely still good, but I don't think it was as good as the rest of the movie and I prefer the ending of the novel. I understand the choice of the ending and do think it was well done from an emotional standpoint but for some reason I just wasn't all about it. I think it had more to do with the way it was edited but I promise it doesn't bring the movie down at all.
This is a great Stephen King adaptation and a great psychological horror/thriller to watch leading up to Halloween.
Gerald's Game is available on Netflix.

Browse Definitions Computing fundamentals
Self-assembly is a branch of nanotechnology in which objects, devices, and systems form structures without external prodding. Nanotechnology is a field of engineering that deals with design, manufacture, and control on a scale of a few nanometer s (nm) or less, where 1 nm = 10 -9 meters.
In self-assembly, the individual components contain in themselves enough information to build a template for a structure composed of multiple units. An example is the construction of a monolayer, in which a single layer of closely-packed molecules sticks to a surface in an orderly and closely-packed fashion. Self-assembly should not be confused with positional assembly , a technique that has been suggested as a means to build objects, devices, and systems on a molecular scale using automated processes in which the components that carry out the construction process would follow programmed paths.
Nanotechnology has potential benefits for many fields, including water purification, sanitation, agriculture, alternative energy (particularly photovoltaics), home and business construction, computer manufacturing, communications, and medicine.

← Geography of Voter Turnout for the 2012 Childrens Referendum in Dublin City
Party vote levels at by-elections, 1980-2011 →
Support for government parties in Dail by-elections between 1980 and 2011
Posted on March 5, 2013 by Adrian Kavanagh
With the Meath East by-election scheduled to take place on March 27th 2013, this is a good time to review statistics for voting patterns in recent by-election contests. This post, reviewing such patterns in the 24 by-elections during the period between 1980 and 2011, shows that government parties have attained little in the way of success in such contests over the past three decades, with Clement Coughlan (Donegal 1980), Noel Treacy (Galway East 1982) and Patrick Nulty (Dublin West 2011) the only government party candidates to win a by-election over this time period.Comparing constituency support levels for government parties in these by-elections, but also the general elections immediately before and after those contests, shows that government party support levels invariably fall at a by-election contest although usually recovering somewhat (to varying degrees depending on the political context) at a subsequent general election contest in the same constituency. Between 1980 and 2011, government party candidates won, on average, 32.5% of the first preference votes cast in by-election contests, contrasting with the average support level of 47.0% won by those parties in the same constituencies in the general election held prior to the by-election. This represents a drop in support levels at by-election contests for government parties by 14.5% on average. Support levels for government parties are shown to generally recover somewhat at the following general election in the same constituencies, although there are a number of exceptions here, including most of the 1980s by-elections during the Fine Gael-Labour government's period in office, as well as the 1996 Donegal North East and 2009 Dublin South contests. The average support level for government parties in these contests at the subsequent general election amounted to 37.0%, on average, representing an improvement of 4.5% percent, on average, relative to those parties' by-election performances.
Ironically the most successful period for government parties in terms of by-election performances was the GUBU period of 1982. A Charles Haughey-led Fianna Fail succeeded in retaining their seat in Galway East (with Noel Treacy exceeding the quota on the first count, despite a 4.9% drop in Fianna Fail support levels in the February 1982 general election). Fianna Fail also came close to taking a seat off Fine Gael in Dublin West. In the Dublin West contest (the background to which probably warrants a number of separate posts!!!) Fianna Fail support only dropped by 2.0% relative to the February election – statistically the second best performance by a government party candidate during the 1980-2011 period – and the Fianna Fail candidate, Eileen Lemass, topped the poll some 328 votes ahead of Fine Gael's Liam Skelly, but ultimately lost out on the seat due to transfers. One of the best electoral performances of any government party candidate during the 1980-2011 came in the very first election held during this period when Fianna Fail's Clement Coughlan held the party's seat in the Donegal constituency and his 39.0% share of the vote marked a 2.6% improvement on Fianna Fail's share of the vote in that constituency in the preceding 1977 General Election. This was the only time during this period that a government party actually increased its share of the vote in a by-election contest, relative to that in a preceding general election in the same constituency.
The largest vote share won by government party candidates was in the 1982 Galway East by-election where Fianna Fail's Noel Treacy won the seat while winning 50.2% of the first preference votes. This is the only instance since 1980 in which government parties candidates won more than half of the votes cast in a by-election contest also. The next best electoral performances for government party candidates in terms of the percentage share of the vote won by these were associated with the 1984 Laois-Offaly by-election in which the Fine Gael and Labour candidates combined won 41.8% of the first preference votes and the 1994 Mayo West by-election in which the Fianna Fail and Labour candidates combined won 41.4% of the first preference votes. But no one government party candidate won more than 40% of the vote in either of these contests – Fine Gael's Padraig Horan won 38.2% in Laois-Offaly in 1984 and Beverly Cooper-Flynn won 37.7% in Mayo-West in 1994.
The least successful government in terms of by-election performances was the Brian Cowen led Fianna Fail-Green Party-Progressive Democrat* government performances in the three by-elections held during the lifetime of that government – the Dublin South and Dublin Central by-elections in 2009 and the Donegal South-West by-election in 2010. In all of these contests, government party support levels fell by more than thirty percent relative to their results in the preceding election, dropping by 30.7% in Donegal South-West 2010, 35.6% in Dublin Central 2009 and 36.5% in Dublin South 2009. (Dublin South represents the worst ever performance by government parties in a by-election over the past three decades and to make matters worse the support levels for government party candidates fell by a further 5.1% at the subsequent general election contest in that constituency.) Naturally, government party candidates were not in contention for seats in any of these contests (and indeed no government party candidate succeeded in winning a seat in any of these constituencies in the February 2011 General Election) although Brian O Domhnaill did succeed in finishing second on first preference votes in Donegal South-West before being overtaken by Fine Gael's Barry O'Neill on the basis of transfers.
In terms of percentage vote share, the worst by-election for government party candidates during the 1980-2011 period was the 2009 Dublin Central contest where the combined vote share won by the Fianna Fail and Green Party candidates was 15.1%, with the combined performance of the government party candidates (Fine Gael and Labour) in the 1996 Dublin West contest being only marginally better than this at 16.8%.

Table 1: Average support levels for government parties in by-elections
On average, government party candidates tend to poll best in by-election contests held during the first year of their government's terms in office, when they presumably may be enjoying a honeymoon period. The average level of declining support at by-elections in these cases was just 10.0%, contrasting with the average level of decline of 14.5% for all by-election contests held during the 1980-2011 period. The Galway East by-election win by Fianna Fail in July 1982 fell within the first few months of the short lived Fianna Fail government's term in office, as indeed was the case with Dublin West by-election win by Labour in October 2011. As Table 1 above shows government parties are likely to perform best in by-elections if these are held in the first year, or during the honeymoon phase, of that government's term in office. The worst time for government parties to face by-elections is during the middle of that government's term in office, with average support levels being much lower than what these parties may expect to win in the first or last year of that government's term in office.
At a regional level, government parties tend to perform worse in by-elections in Dublin than in any other region, as Table 1 above shows, with the best by-election performances by government parties being associated with the Leinster region.
So why do government parties fare so poorly at by-election contests? Anger or disappointment at government party performances may be one factor. This ties in with the second-order election model, which argues that at election contests (such as by-elections, European elections etc.) which voters perceive to be less important than first-order elections (e.g. general elections) voters will be more likely (a) not to vote, (b) to vote against government party candidates, even if they are government supporters, to 'safely' send a message to the government. Another factor explaining a drop in government party support (and applying in the cases of Fine Gael and especially Fianna Fail) relates to number of candidates – if that party has run three or four candidates in a preceding general election it is probably not too surprising that their support level will drop at a by-election where only one party candidate is contesting. Moreover, while Fine Gael or Fianna Fail will expect to poll very well in the areas where their by-election candidates are based, the party's vote share would probably decline in other areas of the constituency, which might have had a strong local candidate from those parties competing in the general election. Finally, if the local electorate may feel that a government win will leave too many government party TDs in the one constituency they may opt to vote against that party in the by-election as a result; this it could be argued could have been a factor in the 2005 Meath by-election where a win for Fianna Fail's Shane Cassells would have left Fianna Fail with four of that constituency's five TDs.

Q: How to read full line while using line split? BufferedReader tableRead = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(tableFile));
while ((tableLine = tableRead.readLine()) != null){
            cNameData = tableLine.split(",");
            for (int i =0; i< cNameData.length; i++){
                System.out.println(cNameData[i]);
            }
        }

This code in mind takes a line for example, John, 23, Male, and splits it and puts it into the array cNameData, but when it prints out it gives 23 and Male only, how do I insert john also into the array? Thanks in advance.

Duelz Casino - Register & get a FREE treasure chest while inside!
Online casino is emerging as a top source of gambling entertainment. As the industry evolves, casinos are becoming smarter and offering more exciting and immersive gaming experiences. Suprnation has created Duelz Casino in line with this principle. Duelz Casino is an innovative platform that brings together the joy of social gaming and the euphoria of the casino environment. Launched in 2018, Duelz Casino is slowly becoming a favorite among players who like the interactive aspect of the casino. It is a casino, so all the money and wagers are real.
There is a lot to experience at Duelz Casino. Let's start digging.
Duelz Casino does not offer a welcome bonus or any other bonuses for that matter. All it provides is lively gameplay, where players bet whatever money they load onto their accounts. As they keep playing, they keep multiplying that money and all of it is theirs to withdraw at the end.
However, the casino does offer a loyalty program. The players that keep winning become eligible for higher rewards. So, each of the incentives offered on the casino is highly customized and dependent on the performance of the player on the casino.
Apart from offering a super exciting gaming concept, the casino also offers its players a secure gaming platform. Duelz Casino is regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority. Having licenses from such well-known regulatory bodies means that players can rely on the casino to offer unbiased and fair gameplay. It also means that the players can feel safe about the personal information they share with the casino.
The legitimacy of the casino also comes from its owner, Suprnation, who is a well-known name in the gaming industry. Apart from the Duelz Casino, they also operate the NYSpins Casino and Voodoo Dreams Casino. Moreover, they run the successful affiliates program for these casinos. So, Duelz Casino comes from an experienced team, and it is safe to presume that they are here to stay.
When you enter the casino, you will be treated to a gaming experience like no other. As soon as you start playing a game, you are thrown into a duel with another player. This is the basic concept from which the casino also derives its name.
The players are armed with a whole arsenal of spells, which have their own fun effects on the other player. The idea is to beat the opponent using these spells and upgrade to the next level of gameplay. The spells that the players need to duel can either be earned through chests or can be directly bought. As the players keep playing and winning, they climb up the ladder and get into bigger leagues with greater rewards. Duelz Casino has successfully managed to add a "social" aspect to the online gaming world.
Getting into a duel does not cost players anything. However, if a player does not want to be a part of the duel, they can just minimize the dueling menu.
There are games for every type of player on Duelz Casino. They offer classic slots, video slots, Vegas slots, Roulette games, Blackjack games, Baccarat games, table games, live casino games, and more. There is so much to enjoy on Duelz Casino that you will never run out of games to play. Just like its sister casinos, NYSpins Casino and Voodoo Dreams Casino, Duelz Casino also offers the most popular and the latest choices in the gaming world.
The casino offers games from a lot of well-known developers. So, players can expect to find games like Jungle Jim, Starburst, Gonzo's Quest, Hotline, and more at the casino. The players can choose to duel on any of these games. As they keep playing and winning, they will advance in the leagues. These leagues are dynamic, so any league will never have more than a 100 users at any given time. So, every new player will always find it relevant to compete and will have a fair chance of reaching the top.
The support team at Duelz Casino is amiable and always ready to solve any queries that the players may have. Given that the casino has a new format, they are bound to have some players flocking their way.
However, the customer service representatives are courteous and always offer a satisfactory response to their patrons. Duelz Casino players can reach out to the customer support via email. However, if they are in a hurry, they also have the option of contacting the casino support via live chat.
It is not every day that a new casino format enters the market. However, with Duelz Casino, players are getting something novel and enjoyable to experience. So, if you are a player who enjoys new formats and is up for experimenting, Duelz Casino offers a perfect avenue.
Go to the casino and duel with another player for a casino experience like no other.

So you've just left home and been thrown head first into the world wide web of flatting and sharing your precious space with others.
Many perks come with this time in life, but there can also be some downsides too. One of these is the realization that that dog and cat you've had since you were five who still take up all the space in your bed at night suddenly get to stay exactly where they are – only you're moving out. This means that for the first time in your life, you're not the proud owner of a pet. And you miss them. Terribly. Here are three low maintenance, cheap to keep pets that you can take with you when trying to find a flat – remember, even if you wanted to take Fido, most apartments don't allow dogs.
The first low maintenance pet that you'll find surprisingly companionable when you're not getting along with your roommates is the gecko.
Geckos are so maintenance free; their gecko pet starter kit requires almost nothing at all. Their home commonly consists of a plastic container with some sand and a few logs strewn around the place, and because geckoes are cold-blooded lizards, they also require a little bit of inexpensive heating. You can pick a light bulb up for a couple of dollars and easily fit it into the container so that your Gecko is nice and warm year round. A bonus feature is acquiring its meals – Gecko's primary food source is mealworms, and they only cost a few cents per meal. Quiet, calm and friendly, Gecko's are the perfect frills free pet to take with you when you try to squeeze all your stuff into a room that is now half the size of what your old one.
The second low maintenance pet that'll take the edge of withdrawals from your cat and dog is fish.
If you go for a particularly common species of domestic fish, such as the Goldfish, you'll be spending the money you've saved on dinners out all the time. While a fish tank can set you back a hundred or so, the fish themselves usually cost around $1 or less, and then once you've got everything it needs in the tank and its daily round of meals, it'll cost you less than $100 a year to look after it. Pretty straightforward and easy by the sounds of it! Come Into The Water is an excellent review website that covers all different kinds of fish tanks and aquariums, helping you wade out of the deep end and into being a proud owner of a very easy fish.
The third and final low maintenance pet that will help you acclimatize to a life shared with people and not furry animals is the hermit crab.
While the thought of owning a crab as a pet is slightly weird, it turns out they can be fascinating and entertaining creatures to have around. They also happen to be the cheapest pet to own and maintain, helping you with that college debt from day one. Purchasing a plastic tank will be more than sufficient for them, with any array of objects to amuse them displayed – and you only have to clean the tank a handful of times a year. The biggest job you have to do for them is to make sure they have a larger shell to grow into as they age – easily found at any pet store. Their food is cheap too and also readily available.
So before you get on the phone to Mom about how hard it's been the last few weeks not having Fido and Whiskers pushing you out of bed at night, take a look at what else is out there to dampen those blues. Remember, not every pet has to have fur and a tail. Each of these pets is perfect for that busy time at college when you can't even remember to take your clean clothes out of the washing machine and put it in the dryer – it's a good thing you're no longer in charge of an animal larger than a rat.

Date reached the semifinals at three of the four majors (Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon) and the quarterfinals at the US Open.
Since retiring, Date has shifted her focus to growing the game of tennis and developing young girls in Japan.

THIS Easter, the Playhouse will be the first port of call for a returning production of Around the World in 80 Days, before embarking on a voyage across the Atlantic to New York.
The mysterious and fabulously wealthy Phileas Fogg wagers his life's fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just 80 days. Join Fogg and his loyal valet Passepartout, as they voyage from the misty alleys of Victorian London, to the exotic sub-continent and the Wild West, in a race against the clock.
Directed by Theresa Heskins, an ensemble cast of eight play over 125 characters in an imaginative and physically inventive high-spirited escapade including six trains, five boats, four fights, three dances, two circus acts and an elephant.
Brought to Liverpool by Kenny Wax Productions, Around the World in 80 Days visited the Playhouse in 2017 to great acclaim. This year, the show will make one more stop in the UK in Salisbury before heading to New York.
Gemma Bodinetz, artistic director at the Everyman & Playhouse, said: "It's not often we bring back a show so quickly to our audiences but Around the World in 80 Days was such complete delight the first time it came to the Playhouse we couldn't resist.
Around the World in 80 Days is on from 17-20 April. Tickets are on sale now and available at: https://www.everymanplayhouse.com/whats-on/around-the-world-in-80-days.


What is evident is the Law of Attraction; it is the perceived notion of the nature of bodies that have a tendency to attract or repeal each other. This is scientifically plausible. One can see that on the basic level using magnets. When it comes to living beings our daily lives are filled with the people we attract, whether the attraction is on a conscious or unconscious level. It all depends on our attitude, lifestyle, and beliefs. On the spiritual level, the type of spiritual force that is attracted to us also depends on out attitude, lifestyle, and morals. Beliefs don't matter because there are spiritual forces that are attracted to those who have compromising beliefs. The spiritual forces exist and have an influence whether a person believes it or not. It is all energy driven. Anyway, as anyone ever summoned a spiritual force? How was that force summoned?
This leads me to something that happened during a period of my awaking. It started when I had a regular dream, it was about an entity that had invaded an apartment building and was making trouble against the occupants. It seemed that the entity was a tormented soul who had died prematurely and wanted to get some type of revenge. Somehow he ended up in somebody's apartment because the building where his apartment was in when he was alive was demolished. So now this entity was roaming around looking for somewhere to haunt. This dream was not a pleasant dream. While this dream went on, I had awakened. When I was awake I felt that there was the presence of something in the room. I decided to take the advice that I received from a Meta-Physical Professor who I was consulting with at the time. His advice was to ask questions to whatever presence that was detected. So I asked the entity, "Who are you?" Then to my surprised I received an answer to the question. I heard a voice say that it was NIGHTMARE. Then I asked "Who sent you?" IT SAID THAT " YOU SUMMONED ME." I was dumbfounded "I summoned it?" I do not know how or what I done to summon Nightmare? I thought since Nightmare said I summoned it, and I don't want it to be here, I will tell it to leave. I told Nightmare to go away, and he left.
So the mystery for me is how can a spirit be summoned if you have not engaged in any ritual or activity and asked for a spirit to come fourth?
Was the voice audible or did you hear it in your mind?
That is interesting and surprising, thank you for answering that True George.
Did Nightmare's voice sound distinct (deep, scary, robotic, alien, an accent, quiet, loud, et cetera) in any way?
It wasn't a loud deep scary voice. It sounded like a normal person's voice.
About how long after waking up did this experience last?
I was already awake when it was taken place.
Yeah, but were you awake for minutes or seconds?

It looks like in the next few months we will be rolling out an Instant Messaging client company wide. After evaluating several of the biggest clients, it looks like we are landing on gTalk. All the major players have similar sets of functionality. . .user to user calling, a web client, cross platform functionality. . .and then some. However none of gTalk's competitors are part of a broader productivity/messaging suite (ok, well M$ is the exception). One day in the future I'd really like to move the entire company away from M$ Outlook/Exchange and over to the Google Apps Suite. No more server, no more software upgrades, no more licensing hassles. . . and all the functionality a traditional desktop client provides. Moving to gTalk may just be the first step in this process. Check out gTalk here.
Yippee! I think having instant messaging will really help with communication...especially when a bunch of us move downstairs. Oh, and did I mention I love gtalk - very intuitive and easy to use. Thanks, Matt.

Vatican auditor forced to resign, 'too close to uncovering dangerous things'
vatican corruption, vatican financial scandals
VATICAN CITY, July 10, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — The Vatican has dropped a criminal investigation against Libero Milone, a Catholic layman they hired to audit their finances. This despite the fact that in September the Vatican chief of police, Domenico Giani, told Reuters that there was "overwhelming evidence" against the former Auditor General.
Now, however, Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register has reported that "the separate inquiry conducted by the Vatican promoter of justice with Milone's lawyers came to the conclusion that no evidence existed to support the accusations that had been lodged against him."
Pentin also cited an unnamed source who had told the Register on July 5 that Milone had "apparent apparently stumbled upon certain and clear abuses of funds, and they could no longer wait to remove him."
The Register source also said, "From the beginning of his mandate, the auditor general was marginalized and his work impeded: The old guard wouldn't give contracts to his staff, they strove to wear down his staff's nerves, and deprived him of access to the Pope."
Finally, the source alleged that the old guard would have let Milone continue if he hadn't been so "professional". Together with Cardinal George Pell, then the first Prefect of the newly-formed Secretariat for the Economy, Milone was apparently "increasingly effective" and "came too close to uncovering dangerous things."
"In the end, action had to be taken to stop him," said the Register's source.
Milone, the Vatican's first Auditor General, resigned from his position in June 2017 after being threatened by the Vatican police with arrest. On July 7, he told an interviewer from Italy's RAI television network that he had been informed by that Vatican that a criminal investigation into his work had been shelved.
Milone has always maintained his innocence. In September he broke his silence to tell interviewers from around the world that his forced resignation was an attempt to block his investigations into Vatican finances, the job he was hired by Pope Francis in 2015 to do.
Originally hired on with a staff of 12 people, Milone was touted as the man who would usher in a new age of transparency into the murky world of Vatican bookkeeping.
"I was threatened with arrest," he told reporters in September. "The head of the [Vatican] Gendarmerie intimidated me to force me to sign a resignation letter that they had already prepared weeks in advance."
According to Milone, the Vatican police told him that he had been the subject of a seven-month investigation.
"The facts presented to me on the morning of [June] the 19th were fake, fabricated," he stated. "I was in shock. All the reasons had no credible foundation."
The auditor said that he had found "irregularities" in the Vatican's finances but could not describe them in detail because he had signed a non-disclosure agreement.
He also alleged that he had not been allowed access to Pope Francis after April 2016.
In September 2015, he began to suspect that his computer had been hacked, and hired a company to check for surveillance devices. According to Milone, the company found that his computer had indeed been hacked and that his secretary's computer had been infected with spyware that copied files.
Milone told reporters that he had "wanted to do good for the Church, to contribute to the reform process, as I was asked, but they wouldn't let me."
After his September interview, the Vatican vehemently denied Milone's allegations that he had been framed.
Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciù, who was then the Vatican undersecretary of state, told Reuters that Milone had gone "against all the rules and was spying on the private lives of his superiors and staff, including me. If he had not agreed to resign, we would have prosecuted him."
The Register tried to contact Cardinal Becciù on July 5, but his secretary said he was on vacation.
Becciù has made headlines before, not only for stating that the Vatican is not a "den of thieves" but for hitting back at allegations that there is a gay lobby in the Vatican. Cardinal Becciù was also Pope Francis' special delegate to the Order of the Knights of Malta shortly after the Pope demanded Fra Matthew Festing's abdication as their sovereign.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Isaiah Newell ran for the go-ahead touchdown with 8:11 remaining, and No. 22 Oregon State took advantage of critical mistakes in the fourth quarter by No. 10 Oregon to rally for a 38-34 victory Saturday.
"I felt like we won the Super Bowl," Oregon State receiver Tyjon Lindsey said.
"Didn't play our best for a long period of time," Smith said. "But knowing this game was a long, long game, they found a way at the end."
"We had the ability to execute when it mattered," said guard Brandon Kipper, who was honored along with the entire senior class before the game. "There's really no words to describe what that just felt like."
"We had our chances and couldn't convert," Nix said, "and maybe should have done some things differently."
"Coach Smith was very well prepared for this game," first-year Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. "We were prepared for half or three quarters of the game as it turned out."
Oregon State forced a three-and-out to start the third quarter, but Gulbranson's first-down pass over the middle intended for Silas Bolden was intercepted by linebacker Jeffrey Bassa, who returned it 33 yards to the 2.
Oregon increased its lead to 28-10 on Noah Whittington's 3-yard run with 9:02 left in the third.
Oregon State's third turnover — a fumble by Tre'Shaun Harrison after a 1-yard reception — gave the Ducks another short field. Camden Lewis converted a 42-yard field goal, extending the lead to 31-10 with 4:46 left in the quarter.
Oregon: Nix didn't have his usual dual-threat capability, and it was never more apparent than on that critical fourth-down run.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) – Short Conceptual Explanation
Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, is the hypothetical ability for a form of artificial intelligence, like a robot or a computer program, to learn, understand, and operate in the same manner as a human. AGI would be the ultimate achievement of all current artificial intelligence, taking on the same tasks as things like robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), in addition to functioning like a human being.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) doesn't exist yet. Instead, it is something that is commonly found in movies and television shows, where robots and machines live side-by-side with humans, learning, working, and acting as humans do. In theory, any robot, machine, or computer program with AGI would be able to carry out any task that a human could, with additional benefits, like an instant, accurate memory and the ability to compute complex mathematical computations. Scientists, programmers, and researchers are currently working towards developing AGI, which is sometimes referred to as "synthetic intelligence". There is currently no clear, universally accepted definition of AGI. Instead, different researchers and programmers are independently working towards different AGI-related goals.

There are many types of artificial intelligence, with each kind acting as a stepping stone to accomplish Artificial General Intelligence. Eventually, AGI will be able to complete every artificial intelligence task that has been created or programmed up until that point.
Currently, the field of AI has focused on creating robots, machines, and programs that are able to complete specific practical tasks. Some are only used for automatic responses to limited inputs, while many of the present-day AI systems use robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial narrow intelligence (ANI). Programs today can manage large volumes of data and, with limited memory, evaluate that data to come to a conclusion. This is the kind of technology that chatbots, virtual assistants, and businesses, like social media platforms, are currently utilizing.
Artificial General Intelligence would be able to carry out any human task, which will greatly impact the way humanity functions. At first, humans may work alongside AI, but as the intelligence of the robots increases, AGI programs would surpass the proficiency of humans and likely become much more cost-effective, making human labor obsolete.
Artificial General Intelligence might be able to tackle huge problems, like climate change, and it could preserve human life by eliminating medical errors during surgery, for example. Eventually, AGI programs would also be able to contribute to society creatively by painting, acting, and decorating. It will force humanity to consider the philosophical ramifications of Artificial General Intelligence, like whether or not robots deserve the same rights and protections as humans.
The ultimate outcome of AGI would be Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). It would be considered the smartest form of intelligence on earth with greater memory, faster data processing and analysis, and decision-making capabilities than any other being, human or robot, on earth.
Because artificial intelligence would have the ability to replace human labor and creativity, it will be important for societies to put safeguards in place to protect humanity before AGI is widespread.
Universal basic income is a concept that is gaining traction as a way to keep families out of poverty. However, it's also a way for humanity to live on when it is no longer possible for most people to earn money through work. With Artificial General Intelligence extreme surveillance and control of populations could come into place, concentrating power into the hands of the people who surveil. For this reason, it is important to maintain democratic principles in which the people are the ones with the authority.
