This has a group page. Church of Bible Understanding (COBU) leader Stuart Traill, an eccentric since high school, dropped out of Lehigh College when, after persuading US Steel and General Electric to donate parts for a cyclotron he said he'd build, his professors realized he really had very little scientific knowledge. When he became a father, he decided there was a higher power, and chose to become a Christian, although he was convinced that his co-religionists misinterpreted the Bible. Saying that the Bible was written in a code only he could understand, he preached his version of the Gospel on street corners in Greenwich Village, focusing on repentance, retribution, grace, and forgiveness. His followers, from the 1970s, could be found in many cities around the country. At meetings, he gave brutal and relentless critiques of attendees, former members say. He bullied followers to continue their self-criticism and mutual bashing when he wasn't there, saying their salvation depended on it. A former assistant said Traill was a "master manipulator" and a genius at using the weakness of others against them. The clinical coordinator of Ohio's Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center for cult victims says Traill is one of those rare people leading a group like this who is not terribly sincere … His thing started as a con, and I think he's come to believe some of his own con, but he's not sincere at all.

Ten Amalgamated Creatures That Wreaked Havoc in Movies
By Stew Miller on June 12th, 2012
First of all, let's discuss what the word 'amalgamated' means, shall we? In fiction in literally means, "the concept of creating an element in a work of fiction by combining existing things." That, of course, is an amalgamation, which is just the noun form of the word. Learning! It's fun. Anyway, liberties have of course been taken with the word over the years, as it has gone from a chemical term to a word that just more or less describes combining two common things into one. Now, in these ten cases, the one half of the combo that each has in common is something either bipedal, or straight up human. And each one of these critters has, in its own way, wreaked havoc on its surroundings in one way or another. So let's check them out, shall we?
Barf the Mog
In the Star Wars parody, Space Balls, Barf the Mog was the Chewbacca to the Han/Luke-ish Lone Star. He was pretty benevolent, and a little on the inane side, but definitely lovable and played to oafish perfection by the late John Candy. But what was his havoc-wreaking problem? Well, besides being a genuine klutz and an affable goof, he was always whacking Lone Star in the face with his presumably filthy tail. He was, though, half-man half-dog, and his own best friend.
Peter Parker is one of very few superheroes who aren't active lycanthropes that was actually bitten by the 'bug' that gave him his powers. And it's this reason why he is considered an amalgam of a spider and a human. Sure, he has single-handedly saved New York from a slew of villains bent on its destruction, but boy oh boy has he caused some serious damage, too. Much like many of his superhero brethren, in fact; leaving the city in shambles with broken buildings and trashed vehicles. Let's face it, hero or not, his path of destruction is incredibly wide.
Peter Pettigrew
Just because you're a shape-shifting magician who somehow got missed in a clear last-minute plot-changing device, doesn't mean you aren't an amalgam of an animal and a man. In this case, Peter Pettigrew was in rat form through a few Harry Potter books (and films) and under the care of Ron Weasley before it became not only apparent, but also a huge WTF moment, when it was discovered that Scabbers was actually a dude hanging out and spying on Harry. I don't know, I just have this feeling that this rewrite was conjured as Rowling was realizing that she'd hit a dead end. Either way, Timothy Spall played the animagus to a filthy 'T' and reminded us all to never trust anyone... especially vermin.
Back in 1982, one of the first DC Comics adaptations was rolled out and it was, well, pretty darn good. The film was Swamp Thing, and it follows the Wes Craven directed exploits of the veggie-human and his attempted vindication of those who caused his transformation in the first place. At the end, when Thing does battle with a mutated form of the evil scientist who kick-started his initial amalgamation of man and bog, the ferns really fly and it quickly becomes one of the more epic battles between two monsters. Did I mention this movie also stars Adrienne Barbeau's breasts? Well, it does.
The Cowardly Lion
Okay, sure, I'll admit that Oz is literally riddled with half-human/half-something else critters. But it was the cowardly lion that truly captured the amalgamation and played it to top form. And boy did this goofy bastard wreak his own special brand of havoc. First, he scares the piss out of the trio of the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and Dorothy, and then he messes up the palace in Emerald City just so he can perform his show tune, and finally he smashes through a perfectly good castle window. Well, for a oafish and lovable lout, at least he had a hand in dissolving the Wicked Witch.
At some point -- as we're led to believe in Rise of the Planet of the Apes -- the Earth is going to be overrun by simian soldiers who want nothing more than to rid it of us pesky humans. Of course once one sees the original saga of The Planet of the Apes, one can't help but worry just a little bit that this crazy occurrence just might come true. Even though Charlton Heston doesn't realize that he's on a futuristic version of his own planet until the Rod Serling-penned finale, at that point the apes do little more than torture him. Not just advanced apes, but amalgamated ape-humans.
Werewolves are the classic amalgamated creatures: part man and part wolf. I used this broad singularity because they come in so many shapes, sizes, and styles each of which is just a shade different from the last and always full of havoc-wreaking nastiness. From the Lon Chaney Wolfman to the awesome 'dog-like' werewolves from Dog Soldiers, there is scarcely one variety that doesn't cause some kind of irreversible damage to its surroundings and the populous. Well, aside from Fang Face, but cartoons are a completely different story.
Seth Brundle
If you want to become an amalgamated creature without getting bitten (see Spider-Man and most werewolves), then scientific experimentation is the way to go. And this fact was learned the hard way by struggling geneticist Seth Brundle in The Fly. All he wanted to do was to invent some pods that transfer matter from one spot to another, but instead -- thanks to an incredibly stupid and inconsiderate fly -- he transferred his matter with a bug's matter and became a hideous fly amalgam! Hideous! Especially when he wreaked vomitous havoc on that one dude's arm... gak.
The Kowakian Monkey Lizard
Oh look, it's our first non-human amalgamation! What a treat! In this case, it's an alien where rules are useless and everything can be anything, so let's just take this with an extra big grain of salt and a huge suspension of disbelief. So, the Kowakian Monkey Lizard was the little critter that sat up around Jabba the Hutt's head in Return of the Jedi and pretty much just cackled at everyone and everything. His actual name was Salacious Crumb and his claim to devious fame was the fact that he was responsible for picking out C3-P0's eye just before R2-D2 zapped him. He presumably died when the desert skiff exploded. He was an ass.
The Sumatran Rat Monkey
If you've never seen Peter Jackson's horror masterpiece Dead Alive (aka Braindead), then drop everything you're doing and do so (after reading this). It is a gore fest with more blood than literally any other movie. Not only is it fun and filthy, it's just goofy. Basically, the whole nonsense begins when a Sumatran Rat Monkey (a hybrid that "according to legend" resulted from the rape of tree monkeys on Skull Island by plague rats) bites a woman and is subsequently smashed. It turns poor Lionel Cosgrove's mom into a raving zombie who, in turn, infects a ton of other people. All because of some wacky amalgamated rat thing. Those things are never good.

Steptoe moves to send lawyer's sex bias claims to arbitration
Daniel Wiessner
Steptoe & Johnson has asked a federal judge in Los Angeles to send a former associate's proposed class action claiming the white-shoe law firm pays female attorneys less than men to arbitration, saying a class-action waiver she signed is valid because she was a supervisor.
Steptoe, which is represented by Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, said in a motion to compel arbitration filed on Thursday that Ji-In Lee Houck had the authority to hire, discipline, and direct the work of other attorneys, so she was not an "employee" under the National Labor Relations Act.

Being clean is the single most important key to not smelling bad. Take it one step further. I like to get the grime off with L'Occitane en Provence Almond Delicious bar soap first, then go in with Le Labo's Mandarin Shower Gel. It's fragrant, and lingers subtly on the skin. But it won't clash with any other scents I'll be adding later on. I do a final full body once-over right before getting out—for good measure.
Next-step options post-shower are diverse, but if you're committed, try this: Santa Maria Novella's Acqua Di Gigli is essentially an astringent, highly alcoholic body toner that smells like lilies. With that in mind, wet a Muji cotton pad with the Aqua and run it over every inch of yourself. For the next 24 hours (possibly more, I have yet to test it beyond this time frame) you'll smell like a fresh baby white lily in June.
If I'm going out somewhere, things can get a little more luxe. I like to mix a few drops of body or perfume oil with a lightweight body lotion and slather it all over my limbs. And elsewhere. You've probably never heard of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (heh) but it's an amazing smell at a great price.
At bedtime, I prefer to use a fully fragranced body lotion, as long as it's one I know won't keep me from sleeping well. Le Labo's Hinoki Avocado Body Cream smells soooooo good, but it is about as strong as wearing a perfume, so it's best worn alone. My favorite part is waking up to its scent still lingering as I make coffee in my pajamas. For everyday, Glossier's Body Hero Daily Perfecting Cream smells warm and easy to wear—not too strong.
Can't forget deodorant. (Side note: I just realized I forgot deodorant today.) I'll wear it to bed if I must. Apply it before and after exercising. If you're a clinical strength kind of person, I'm a big fan of Dove For Men, because it's musky and nice but not too scent-y either. I recently switched to an aluminum-free one by Baxter, which has a similar kind of smell and actually works. But Schmidt's is the forever go-to—so many natural scent options!
Hair products should not overpower your more intentional scents, but they should smell good in their own right. Windle & Moodie wins for best scent in a shampoo and conditioner (white tea!) and every product in Christophe Robin's Rosewater line is like a rose at its finest.
Despite my dedication to scent, more is not always more when it comes to smelling good. More can be frightening and headache inducing. Since I already smell incredible (if just delicately so), I really only need a tiny spritz—OK maybe two—of my all time favorite fragrance/eau de parfum/huile de parfum/whatever perfume thing. I have two current favorites, and it pains me to give them away, but what the heck. I'm here for you. Tom Ford's Jasmine Rouge is a nice, warm blend of jasmine and orange blossom, while Diptyque's Eau Rose is the most ideal floral that I wear when it's hot out. Plus, the hair perfume version of that scent just came out, in case you want to do the most. Et voilà.
Smell good, but don't give it away. Read here for ways to keep your favorite perfume a secret.

'Vile' picture of Charlotte Crosby has fans slamming her online
Tuesday, 2 October 2018, 11:58AM
Charlotte Crosby is a household name in the UK thanks to her hard-partying ways on Geordie Shore.
But the reality TV star may have taken things too far in her latest Instagram post which has divided fans.
After a boozy night out in Manchester on Saturday, Crosby shared a photo to Instagram of her and a friend slumped next to each other.
With a towel in her lap and her white outfit covered in vomit, Crosby, 28, captioned the photo: "This is sick."
In an accompanying video, Crosby explained that she and her friend "got so drunk last night that we fell unconscious".
"I'm very sad because in the big drunkness I lost my boyfriend," the Geordie Shore star added, while an unseen person could be heard getting sick in the background of the video.
Crosby also tweeted about her night out, writing: "Have you ever got so drunk you were sick all over yourself and had to get carried out of the club by your Mam and dad........ Yeh I'm a mess."
Have you ever got so drunk you were sick all over yourself and had to get carried out of the club by your Mam and dad........

Q: How to improve this web crawler logic? Im working on a web crawler that will crawl only internal links using requests and bs4.
I have a rough working version below but Im not sure how to properly handle checking if a link has been crawled previously or not.
import re
import time
import requests
import argparse
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

internal_links = set()

def crawler(new_link):

    html = requests.get(new_link).text
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
    for link in soup.find_all('a', attrs={'href': re.compile("^http://")}):
        if "href" in link.attrs:
            print(link)
            if link.attrs["href"] not in internal_links:
                new_link = link.attrs["href"]
                print(new_link)
                internal_links.add(new_link)
                print("All links found so far, ", internal_links)
                time.sleep(6)
                crawler(new_link)

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('url', help='Pass the website url you wish to crawl')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    url = args.url

    #Check full url has been passed otherwise requests will throw error later

    try:
        crawler(url)

    except:
        if url[0:4] != 'http':
            print('Please try again and pass the full url eg http://example.com')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

These are the last few lines of the output:
All links found so far,  {'http://quotes.toscrape.com/tableful', 'http://quotes.toscrape.com', 'http://quotes.toscrape.com/js', 'http://quotes.toscrape.com/scroll', 'http://quotes.toscrape.com/login', 'http://books.toscrape.com', 'http://quotes.toscrape.com/'}

so it is working, but only up until a certain point and then it doesn't seem to follow the links any further.
Im sure its because of this line
for link in soup.find_all('a', attrs={'href': re.compile("^http://")}):

as that will only find the links that start with http and on a lot of the internal pages the links dont have that but when I try it like this
for link in soup.find_all('a')

the program runs very briefly and then ends:
http://books.toscrape.com
{'href': 'http://books.toscrape.com'}
http://books.toscrape.com
All links found so far,  {'http://books.toscrape.com'}
index.html
{'href': 'index.html'}
index.html
All links found so far,  {'index.html', 'http://books.toscrape.com'}

A: You could reduce
for link in soup.find_all('a', attrs={'href': re.compile("^http://")}):
        if "href" in link.attrs:
            print(link)
            if link.attrs["href"] not in internal_links:
                new_link = link.attrs["href"]
                print(new_link)
                internal_links.add(new_link)

To
links = {link['href'] for link in soup.select("a[href^='http:']")}
internal_links.update(links)

This uses a grabs only qualifying a tag elements with http protocol and uses a set comprehension to ensure no dupes. It then updates the existing set with any new links. I don't know enough python to comment on efficiency of using .update but I believe it modifies the existing set rather than creating a new one. More methods for combining sets are listed here: How to join two sets in one line without using "|"

Disney Earnings Fall on Fox-Related Growing Pains and Weakness in Domestic Parks
The entertainment giant's fiscal third-quarter bright spots included its legacy movie studio and consumer products businesses.
Beth McKenna

Aug 6, 2019 at 10:35PM
Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) reported its fiscal third-quarter 2019 results after the market closed on Tuesday. The entertainment behemoth's revenue jumped 33%, while its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) fell 28% year over year.
Both the top-line increase and bottom-line decline were largely driven by the company's massive acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox assets, which closed in late March. As expected, profits were hurt by integration costs, but they were also negatively impacted by weak performances by the Fox movie studio and Disney's domestic parks.
Shares were down in the 3% to 4% range during much of Tuesday's after-hours trading session. We can attribute the market's initial reaction mainly to earnings coming in significantly lighter than many investors were probably expecting.

Disney's key numbers
Fiscal Q3 2019
Segment operating income
GAAP net income
GAAP EPS
Adjusted EPS
Data source: Disney. GAAP = generally accepted accounting principles. EPS = earnings per share.
The company used $1.75 billion of cash in operations, versus generating $3.68 billion in cash from operations in the year-ago period. Free cash flow was negative $2.93 billion, versus $2.46 billion in the third quarter of last fiscal year.
The combined Fox assets didn't perform up to Disney management's projections. Last quarter, management said that it expected the Fox acquisition to have a negative impact on earnings of about $0.35 per share, whereas the actual impact was about negative $0.60 per share, CFO Christine McCarthy said on the earnings call. She added that there were two main drivers behind this underperformance: the Fox film studio and Star India.
Disney doesn't provide guidance. For some context (though long-term investors shouldn't place too much importance on Wall Street's near-term estimates), analysts were looking for adjusted EPS of $1.75 on revenue of $21.48 billion. So the House of Mouse fell short of both expectations.
Media networks: Operating margin declined
Year-Over-Year Change
Data source: Disney.
Here's how the two businesses within this segment performed:
Cable networks revenue jumped 24% year over year to $4.47 billion, and operating income rose 15% to $1.64 billion.
Broadcasting revenue increased 16% to $2.25 billion, and operating income fell 17% to $307 million. (Segment operating income also received a boost of $192 million from equity in the income of investees, down 3% from the year-ago quarter.)
Cable's higher operating income was due to the inclusion of the Fox businesses (primarily the FX and National Geographic networks) and an increase at ESPN, partially offset by a decrease at Freeform. As has been the case for some time, the increase at ESPN was driven by higher affiliate revenue from rate increases, partially offset by a decline in the number of subscribers. Broadcasting's "lower operating income was due to decreases in ABC Studios program sales and network advertising revenue," according to the earnings release.
Parks, experiences, and consumer products: A rare stumble for domestic parks
The good news for this segment was that the consumer products business performed well from a profit standpoint, thanks to strength in the merchandise licensing operation -- driven by items based on Toy Story -- and the retail business. Another bright spot was Disneyland Paris (Vive la France!), which contributed to operating income growth.
The bad news was that Disney's legendary domestic parks and resorts business had a rare stumble, with operating income declining year over year, despite getting a tailwind from the shift in the timing of the Easter holiday. (The reported quarter included both weeks of the holiday, whereas only one week was included in the year-ago period.) The culprit was the combination of higher costs -- in part because of expenses associated with Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which opened at Disneyland on May 31 -- and lower attendance. The number of visitors to domestic parks declined 3% year over year, though per capita spending rose a whopping 10% because of increased spending on tickets, food and beverage, and merchandise, McCarthy said on the earnings call.
She added that the company was managing ticket demand at Disneyland for a few weeks following the opening of Galaxy's Edge "in order to maintain a high-level of guest satisfaction," which had the effect of slightly suppressing attendance. She also said that company survey results suggest that some folks are delaying their Disney World visits until after the opening of the new Star Wars attraction. In other words, both reasons for the decline seem to be temporary.
Studio entertainment: Results dragged down by Fox studio's poor performance
As I wrote in my earnings preview, "During the fiscal third quarter, Disney released six movies: Penguins, Avengers: Endgame, Aladdin, and Toy Story 4 from its studios, and Tolkien and Dark Phoenix from the Fox studios. Marvel's latest Avengers film, which has shattered numerous major box office records, has raked in nearly $2.8 billion in theatrical receipts, as of Sunday morning. Aladdin and Pixar's Toy Story 4 have also performed very well, with ticket sales tallying just over $1 billion and about $959 million, respectively."
Indeed, thanks to the powerful combined performance of the above noted trio along with theatrical carryover from Captain Marvel, which was released at the end of the fiscal second quarter, studio entertainment's results compared favorably to the year-ago period's results, which featured a mighty roster comprised of Avengers: Infinity War, Pixar's The Incredibles 2, and carryover from Black Panther.
Disney's legacy studio business performed even better than the segment's results suggest, as overall results were dragged down by the underwhelming performance of Fox studio's releases. On the earnings call, McCarthy said that the Fox studio had an operating loss of about $170 million.
DTC and international: Loss widens on increased streaming business spending
($553 million)
N/A -- Down $385 million from a loss of $168 million in Q3 2018.
This segment's loss widened mainly because Disney has been investing in its relatively new direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming businesses. It continues to invest in ESPN+, which went live in April 2018, and is incurring costs associated with the impending launch of its broader streaming service, Disney+, which is scheduled for Nov. 12.
The underperformance of Fox's Star India also contributed to the profit decline. On the earnings call, McCarthy said that this TV property had an operating loss of about $60 million in the quarter, largely because of a big step-up in rights costs for the Indian Premier League (cricket) and the Quadrennial Cricket World Cup.
In addition, the segment incurred a loss from the consolidation of Hulu following the Fox acquisition. Once Hulu became majority owned by Disney, 100% of its operating results were reported in this segment's results. Previously, Disney's ownership share of Hulu results was reported as equity in the loss of investees.
Granted, Disney had a quarter that likely disappointed many investors. But long-term investors know that one quarter is just one quarter and that the key reasons behind the company's earnings decline should prove temporary.
It will likely take some time to integrate the Fox businesses into the fold, but once completed, the combined company should have an absolute stranglehold on the global movie industry. And successful movies are central to Disney's business model in that characters and other intellectual property from its movies make their way into attractions at the company's parks and into a plethora of consumer products.
Two upcoming potentially major catalysts for growth are the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney World on Aug. 29 and -- the biggie -- the launch of Disney+, slated for Nov. 12.

On Oct. 4, 2017, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) said that all issues relating to the investigation into Russian interference with the election remain open. But with respect to the firing of FBI Director James Comey, the committee had gone as far as it could and was passing the baton: "Future questions surrounding Comey's firing are better answered by the [special] counsel or by the Justice Department," Burr said.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating whether Trump's interactions with Comey amount to obstruction of justice. The charge can be leveled at anyone, including the president, who attempts to influence, obstruct or impede a federal investigation or a judicial process.
On Jan. 27, 2017 — a week after the inauguration — acting Attorney General Sally Yates spoke with White House counsel Don McGahn about national security adviser Michael Flynn. In December, Flynn had been in contact repeatedly with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. In public statements, Vice President Mike Pence and press secretary Sean Spicer had said that Flynn engaged in no discussions about Russian sanctions with Kislyak. But, Yates informed McGahn, that was not consistent with what US intelligence agencies knew to be true. Someone, presumably Flynn, was lying, and that made him potentially susceptible to blackmail by the Russians, who knew the truth about those conversations. On the same day that Yates spoke to McGahn, Trump invited FBI Director Comey to a private dinner at the White House. "I need loyalty," Trump told him.
Two weeks later, as advisers were leaving an Oval Office meeting, Trump asked Comey to remain. "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go," Trump told him on Feb. 14.
On March 30 and again on April 11, Trump asked Comey to "lift the cloud" of the Russia investigation.
After Comey's Senate appearance, Trump fumed about his testimony. Over the weekend of May 6-7 at his Bedminster Golf Club, he and aide Stephen Miller drafted a four-page letter directed to Comey, outlining Trump's reasons for firing him.
Later that morning, Trump read his draft Comey termination letter aloud to several advisers, including White House counsel Don McGahn and Vice President Mike Pence. Together with Kushner and then-chief of staff Reince Priebus, McGahn and Pence drafted talking points about Comey's planned firing. Meanwhile, Trump asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for a memo outlining their problems with Comey. They complied, and Trump cited their recommendations as his reason for firing the FBI director. On May 9, Trump fired Comey.
Trump's subordinates — including Pence, who went to Capitol Hill — then took to the airwaves and peddled the lie that Rosenstein had been the impetus for Comey's termination.
On June 8, Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Trump had asked him about Russia repeatedly and that he perceived Trump's expressed "hope" about "letting Flynn go" as an order. The next day, Trump called Comey a liar and accused him of leaking classified information.
After the May 17 appointment of a special counsel to investigate Trump-Russia connections, Trump's attacks on Robert Mueller were relentless, along with reports that Trump was considering firing him. In a July 19 interview with The New York Times, Trump referred to what he viewed as the appropriate limits to Mueller's investigation. A week later, The Wall Street Journal asked him if Mueller's job is safe. "No, we're going to see," Trump said.
Meanwhile, on July 8, 2017, Trump was helping his son draft a misleading statement about a June 9, 2016 campaign meeting at Trump Tower between his top advisers and three Russians who had promised to bring "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. The cover-up of that cover-up—that is, obfuscating the extent of Trump's role in drafting his son's original statement—lasted less than a month.
In a thorough 108-page factual and legal analysis for the Brookings Institution, Barry H. Berke, Noah Bookbinder, and Norman Eisen outline in great detail the case against Trump. People lie for a reason, and Trump is no exception. What he feared—and apparently still fears—continues to seep out.
Trump's erratic behavior has many questioning his mental fitness to remain in office. But throughout his life, Trump's actions have always been rational in a key respect: Trump does what is best for Trump. If that means obstructing justice, so be it.

Incorporating the Subjective into Wellbeing Measurements
In this, our sixth CCH seminar in our series at the WHO Collaborative Centre on Culture and Health, 'Incorporating the Subjective into Wellbeing Measurements' we heard from Mr Adolfo Morrone, who is an experienced Senior Manager in cultural statistics and was senior researcher at the The Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), working on a project of measuring and monitoring the well-being of the Italian Society. He also managed the design and the publishing of the first Report on "Equitable and Sustainable Well-being", which is the first results of this inter-institutional initiative of great scientific importance, which places Italy in the forefront of the international panorama for the development of well-being indicators going beyond GDP. We also heard from from Dr Mauro Fornasiero, University of Exeter.
Adolfo's presentation focused on the importance of subjective indicators in measuring and evaluating quality of life. He briefly summed up 10 years of debate starting from the work of the Stiglitz, Sen, Fitoussi report and the efforts made by the OECD to stir the debate on going beyond GDP. Adolfo then gave an overview of the Bes (Equitable and sustainable well-being) project carried out by the Italian national statistical Office since 2013. He concluded by presenting some evidences of the relationships between objective indicators and cognitive evaluation of its own life satisfaction.
Mauro looked at 'measuring wellbeing in Italy: a cultural perspective'. Drawing from the indicators of Equitable and Sustainable wellbeing in Italy, this presentation showcased three case studies, which inform wellbeing from a cultural perspective.
Due to slight technical difficulties for a brief period of the recording, we have also included the slides for information.

Iraq civilian death toll down to 4,500 in 09-study
Arab World 1 January 2010 14:42 (UTC+04:00)
The number of Iraqi civilians killed in violence fell by half in 2009 to about 4,500 but improvements in security have slowed and large-scale attacks took a major toll last year, a study has found, Reuters reported.
Human rights group Iraq Body Count (IBC) put the 2009 civilian death toll in Iraq up to Dec. 16 at 4,497, the lowest since the 2003 invasion and less than half the 2008 toll of 9,226.
Unlike 2008, the decline in violent deaths seemed to stagnate in 2009 -- the first half and the second half of the year had roughly similar figures, the group said in a report released on Friday.
U.S. and Iraqi officials have hailed the dramatic drop in violence from the height of sectarian killing in 2006 and 2007.
According to U.S. military figures, violence peaked in late 2006 and early 2007 with up to about 1,700 attacks a week.
That was a far cry from late summer 2009, when about 200 attacks a week were recorded.
Still, the report noted troubling trends, such as a rise during 2009 in the toll from large-scale bombings, killing more than 50 civilians each. In 2008, 534 people were killed in nine such attacks compared with 750 in eight attacks in 2009.
"Iraq is clearly suffering more daily violence from terrorism and instability than any other country, considerably more violence even than Afghanistan and Pakistan," said John Sloboda, the group's co-founder and spokesman.
He said that, despite Iraqi authorities' inability to stop a constant drumbeat of violence, there was "complacency among Western politicians and Western commentators who kind of imply that Iraq is solved".
COORDINATED ATTACKS
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who has staked his reputation on turning around Iraq's security situation, is struggling to contain recriminations arising from a series of coordinated attacks targeting government facilities, the latest of which killed up to 112 people in December.
Attacks continued outside the capital, too. In Ramadi, the capital of the western province of Anbar, at least 25 people were killed on Wednesday in what appeared to be an attempt to assassinate the provincial governor.
The attacks add fuel to Iraqis' fears that violence will increase again before national elections on March 7 and beyond as U.S. troops prepare to halt combat operations by next autumn and withdraw entirely by the end of 2011.
The U.S. administration is increasingly looking towards the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan as it prepares to cut its troop numbers in Iraq to 50,000 by the end of August from about 115,000 now.
IBC, whose figures are based on cross-checked media accounts, and reports from hospitals, morgues and civil society groups, puts the overall civilian death toll since the 2003 invasion at between 94,939 and 103,588.
Its numbers are considerably higher than those provided by the Iraqi government. On Thursday, the Health Ministry said 306 civilians were killed in December, bringing the total of civilians killed by violence in 2009 to 2,773.
About 3,700 foreign soldiers have been killed in combat in Iraq since the war began, according to www.icasualties.org, which tracks casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That toll has fallen sharply, too, especially as remaining U.S. soldiers spend more time confined to their bases and Iraqi forces take the lead on security.

Share the post "What If?"
What caused me to consider writing this article today was because I was in a long conversation with one of the residents of Mason City this afternoon. He is retired and worked for the railroad for thirty some years in different positions. He mentioned he was glad that he retired when he did because the company was becoming more and more computerized and he believed he didn't have the skills to learn something so drastically new. He said during his many years on the job, nearly everything was done with pen and paper. I as well mentioned my very early years working in an accounting department and experienced the evolution of what many would consider borderline primitive to state-of-the-art at the time. I winked at the gentleman today and said, "Fear not, the human mind is still ahead of the computers." When I step back in time to a part of my accounting job a hundred years ago, I found myself over the months being able to add large sums of numbers listed on journals faster than any of the other workers could do it with a full keyboard adding machine. The mind worked faster than the "grind" of a machine. The more we become dependent on computers, the more I encourage people to at least know what to do if something should happen in our community or even our country. Do any of you have alternative heating and light sources? Do any of you know how to store fruits and vegetables as well as salt away meats? Can anyone "make do" for at least a week or possibly a month with enough provisions to physically survive without going to the grocery store or restaurant? A survivalist I am not. I prefer not to cut wood for wood burning stoves, not go out and hand pump water from a well head, and for sure not want to run to an outhouse in the middle of winter. I am finding that more and more of the young have absolutely no clue about how to make do if something would happen with the "grid". I believe all schools should have mini courses each year for students to at least get a glimpse of what alternative measures can be taken to carry on with life. During the days of the flood of 2008, I did my paying forward good deed when our city's water supply was shut off. Fortunately I had access to a well that provided fresh drinking water to whomever needed it. So, I guess we should not be fearful of the days ahead but at least be a bit knowledgeable when the "what if" does happen.

Working with a great team of people from across the industry to make SMI-S happen.
I swallowed hard when I was asked to take over the TSG Chair position. It was even more challenging than I was expecting. But it also was very rewarding.
Being involved with the SMI Governing Board when SMI was formed was another challenge. Before the SMI, management of the standard was spread across a disparate set of committees. We pulled the work under the SMI. Coordinating the budgets and work across the technical, testing, lab work and marketing teams was very rewarding.
While I may be biased, given the time and effort to create SMI-S, including the marketing and testing programs, as well pushing it though ANSI and ISO, I see SMI-S as the SNIA's greatest achievement. In hindsight, creating the specification was the easy part. Developing the testing program, conducting SMI-Lab interoperability sessions, working the standardization process and marketing the end product required an incredible effort on the part of the whole SNIA organization.

El Plan de Ayutla, proclamado por Florencio Villarreal, con apoyo de los liberales Juan Álvarez e Ignacio Comonfort, el 1 de marzo de 1854 en Ayutla, Guerrero. Tuvo como objetivo dar fin a la dictadura de Antonio López de Santa  Anna.

Los planteamientos centrales del plan eran el desconocimiento de Antonio López de Santa Anna como presidente de México, y que de resultar triunfante el ejército liberal, se convocaría a representantes de los estados para elegir a un presidente temporal, quien a quince días de haber asumido el cargo, haría la convocatoria a un nuevo Congreso extraordinario con el fin de establecer un gobierno republicano y democrático que reorganizara el país.

Professional services such as finance play an essential role in the recycling and waste management industries. Stay up-to-date with the latest developments here.
Paul Shaw examines the occupational hazards experienced by front line workers in the waste management industry and looks at measures on how to protect them against risks including working with highly combustible materials, exposure to harmful substances and confined space working.
With the large number of fires occurring at waste and recycling facilities across the UK, Owen Batham at Elite Precast Concrete, argues there is a growing need for firms to take a more proactive approach to their fire risk management and to develop more sophisticated disaster recovery plans.
Health & safety has particular importance for waste management which has historically fared badly when it comes to injury rates and fatalities. Chris James, CEO of WAMITAB, emphasises the role training can play in raising standards.
Are undeployed airbags safe to reuse?
Airbags are believed to have contributed to significant improvements in vehicle occupant safety. However, there are no definitive guidelines over the potential to reuse undeployed airbags.

After meeting local farmers, witnessing the roasting process, and sampling copious amounts of cashews straight from the wood fire ovens, Hai decided to begin importing the cashews into the US. Soon after, Dan joined to help ramp up US sales in California and Massachusetts. Since then, Caju has expanded to over 15 stores and continues to grow.
We retail and wholesale our classic wood fire roasted cashews.
Our new honey roasted cashews are made with honey from our own Vietnamese apiaries.

From affordable brass to precious platinum, you'll find jewelry in every metal you can imagine. Each of these materials has advantages and disadvantages, and it helps to understand a bit about the metals in jewelry before you make your next purchase.
Whether you're investing in fine jewelry or purchasing some costume pieces to keep up with this year's trends, you'll encounter one or more of these metals. Knowing what you're buying is important, especially if you have metal allergies or other unique needs.
According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), aluminum is very malleable, so artisans can form it into gorgeous shapes. It is often used for cuff bracelets, elaborate bib necklaces, delicate earrings, and more.
It's important to note that because it is so malleable, aluminum jewelry can be fragile and prone to warping. Additionally, a very small number of people may be allergic to this metal.
Brass is a common choice for costume jewelry, since it has an attractive gold color and offers an affordable alternative to precious metals. Made from a combination of copper and zinc, the properties of brass can vary depending on the amount of these two metals used in its production. According to the Copper Development Association, the proportion of copper and zinc can also affect how jewelers can use the metal in their products.
In general, brass won't corrode with regular use. However, depending on the copper content, it may turn green over a long period of time. Unlacquered brass may require polishing from time to time, but many jewelry manufacturers apply a clear lacquer to avoid this problem.
There are a few important safety considerations when it comes to brass jewelry. Although today's brass jewelry is mostly lead-free, some vintage brass pieces may contain small amounts of lead. Lead can be toxic to children and adults. Additionally, brass may also contain nickel and aluminum, so people with metal allergies may want to avoid it.
Bronze is great for detail work, so you'll find gorgeous and delicate jewelry in this material.
According to the Royal Society of Chemists, copper is extremely easy to work with. It was actually the first metal worked by jewelers in ancient civilizations.
It's important to note that most jewelry isn't created from solid gold, which is too soft. Gold comes in different karats or purities, each of which has advantages for the consumer. Additionally, because gold is such a costly metal, many pieces are gold-filled or gold-plated. This means that a layer of gold is applied over a less expensive base metal. Items that are gold-filled have a much thicker layer of gold than pieces that are gold-plated.
This metal is hypoallergenic. In general, niobium jewelry won't bother people with metal allergies.
It isn't a precious metal, so it's more affordable than gold, silver, and other choices.
Niobium is strong. It's a component of alloys used in jet engines, oil rigs, and other industrial applications.
If you're considering pewter jewelry, there are a few potential disadvantages to keep in mind. For example, pewter can be prone to denting and damage, since it is so soft. Additionally, vintage pewter jewelry often contains lead, which is toxic. Modern and vintage pewter may bother people with metal allergies.
Silver is another beautiful white metal used in jewelry. According to the Australian Mines Atlas, silver is extremely malleable. Because it is so soft, you'll almost never encounter pure silver jewelry. Instead, you'll see sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals.
Stainless steel resists corrosion. This means that it's a great choice if you'll be exposing your jewelry to chemicals and daily wear.
You'll find many items in stainless steel, including rings, earrings, watches, bracelets, and more.
Those with metal allergies may find stainless steel problematic. Since nickel is often included in the alloy, it's best to avoid stainless steel if you are sensitive to metals.
Titanium is durable and strong, so it's a good choice for items you plan to wear often. It doesn't bend easily, and it resists scratching and abrasion.
Jewelry pieces crafted from titanium resist tarnishing, so you won't have to perform a lot of upkeep on these items.
Titanium's biggest disadvantage is that it is difficult to work. This means that it isn't easy to resize titanium rings or other size-specific pieces, and it also means that many artisan jewelers hesitate to dabble in this material.
Each material has pros and cons for the jewelry consumer. Experiment by adding many different metals to your collection. With time and experience, you'll soon find out which metals are your favorites.

1040 Fifth Avenue (informally known as the 10 40) is a luxury residential housing cooperative in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City.

Overview
1040 is one of the tallest of the limestone-clad apartment houses on Fifth Avenue. The prominent 18-story structure has one of the most distinctive rooflines along the avenue. The canopied entrance has very attractive cast-iron doors and extensive sidewalk landscaping.

The facade, which has had many repairs, is relatively plain except for several sculpted faces at the fifth story. The large building has only 27 apartments and has had many prominent residents including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who purchased a penthouse apartment on the 15th floor in 1964 and lived there for thirty years until her death in 1994.

The building was erected in 1930 and was designed by Rosario Candela, one of the city's most prominent designers of luxury apartment buildings in the late 1920s and early 1930s.  Along with 1020 Fifth Avenue and 998 Fifth Avenue, it is considered among the most luxurious and prestigious co-operative buildings in the upper east side.

The asymmetrical roof, which is setback and clad in a pale yellow brick, has several tall arches whose openings were filled nicely with huge windows in the late 1990s in a remodeling of the spectacular penthouse. The rooftop design is somewhat similar to the roof at Ten Gracie Square, which was erected in the same year and designed by Van Wart & Wein with Pennington & Lewis.

Residents
In addition to Jackie Kennedy, Generoso Pope lived in the apartment building.
In 2000 actress Candice Bergen moved into her husband Marshall Rose's apartment on the 16th floor. Julia Koch and David Koch lived in the building before moving to 740 Park Avenue in 2004.

Critical reception
Architecture critic Paul Goldberger describes 1040 Fifth Avenue as being one of "the great apartment houses of the 1920s."

The Fall "Lie Dream Of A Casino Soul"
Was just reading Kat Stevens's One Week One Band on The Fall and playing for Clare "Container Drivers" from the 1980 Peel Sessions. Clare said, "This is a lot more fun than Malcolm McLaren."
Of course it is fun. ALL Fall is fun, among many other things. There's always something bouncy or at least rollicking in the sound — rollicking sarcasm, often enough, I NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE, but rollicking nonetheless. The fun is being strenuously punched back into its dough container, but that's fun too, on the days when pushback is your flavor of fun.
Two years ago Clare and I were reading murder mysteries to each other, Rex Stout and Raymond Chandler. "Raymond Chandler is a much more generous writer," Clare said. She's way right about Chandler being a generous writer, though I hadn't thought to think it. Stout's in his light and delightfully bickering world, but it's not the world so it's way underpopulated. Chandler's in our world and his fierce eye records details and details, all the stucco, the stucco upon stucco in 57 varieties, items I'd never noticed, the ragged plants, the dirt, the driveways, desiccated apartments and apartments that are too plush, punks trying to comb their blond hair back.
"The members were devoted readers," says Wikipedia, "with Smith citing H.P. Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, and Malcolm Lowry among his favourite writers."
This entry was originally posted at https://koganbot.dreamwidth.org/367758.html. Comments still welcome here, there, and anywhere.
The above is partially a reaction to the Lovable Curmudgeon tenor of lots of the commentary. I'm presuming a reader who knows that Mark E. Smith generally sang and wrote in a scathing tone of voice, relied on it way too much; and that Raymond Chandler's eye was frequently one of contempt and misogyny.
And yes, but they kept looking.
I have a much better sense of Chandler than of the Fall; Hex Enduction Hour seemed like a big breakthrough in 1981, the Fall's best, their listening deeper into Dylan and the Velvets and recognizing that there're soul beats in there to use and investigate. And then for reasons I haven't explored enough I pretty much stopped paying attention, despite being in a band that partially derived from the Fall. A bit of the reason was that the beat investigation never actually came, not from them. In 1979 I'd heard Spoonie Gee, and that seemed like the future. I must've wondered how much more liquid I was going to get out of the Fall's same old rock, or by hurling myself against their knotty words (or brick and mortar or whatever they are). So you'll have to get someone else to guide you through the full stalactite and stalagmite of their work. Tom's got a few suggestions.
In the meantime, the third embed above, "Various Times," has Smith before his voice settled on scathing: hurt, idealistic, angry. But not settled. And HP Baxxter of Scooter used similar vocal mannerisms to not go anywhere near scathing; also found at least one other beat.
"their listening deeper into Dylan and the Velvets and recognizing that there're soul beats in there to use and investigate"
--Um, it's probably not at all obvious that I'm being metaphoric here: that is, I'm not assuming that Hanley, Riley, Scanlon, Smith etc. were consciously relistening to Dylan and the Velvet Underground and going, "Oh, look, those beats in 'What Goes On' aren't that distant from 'You Can't Hurry Love' and 'I'm Ready For Love.'" Those guys are likely just coming up with whatever beats work for them. But the Fall are sounding a bit more like Martha & The Vandellas than they had sounded previously, and the Fall's models had been drawing on such stuff back in the day too.
I think Kat has a Spotify playlist linked somewhere in her OWOB; I haven't gone through it thoroughly enough yet.

193: Life on Fire Movement Stories
http://traffic.libsyn.com/lifeonfiretvaudio/193_Life-On-Fire-Movement-Stories.mp3
Hey hey! Welcome to episode 193 of Life on Fire. You've heard the saying: "You're the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with." But what do you do if you want to change who those 5 people are? How do you find positive, support and encouraging people who are up to big things in the world like you are?
One place to find people like that is the Life on Fire movement. Rather than talk to you about the benefits, today's show is a highlight reel direct from our members. You'll hear from six different people about what they've gotten out of being part of the Life on Fire movement. From community to support to actually achieving goals they've set, each person has something to share about the contribution this community has made to their lives
Why Life on Fire is more than just a cool name!
How has this movement helped people be more productive?
The power of taking action with the support of others, and why it matters.
The larger your network, the larger your what?
To really find out what's happening within the Life on Fire movement you'll hear directly from people like Calvin Wayman. Calvin says Life on Fire has helped him find his gifts and find what he had to share with the world. According to him, the weekly calls are the tangible things that keep him in action. Those calls help him set goals, and keep commitments to himself: the weekly calls keep him accountable and in action!
Calvin says life on fire is more than just a cool name, it's a movement! It's people getting together and creating something bigger than themselves. It's a community coming together to create a life on fire and create something bigger than they would ever create on their own.
Idris has found the focus on action to be particularly helpful to him. He loves the training Life on Fire provides through calls and videos: "…you can put it into action in your life. If you want to be productive this will get you there!"
For Peter, he is grateful to be a part of like-minded people who are connecting, growing, evolving and having fun! He says the group impacts the world around them and as a result, they are able to generate change and wake people up.
He is "…grateful to have met Nick and Megan and the Life on Fire team, and to be a part of something bigger than myself." Peter recommends joining the Life on Fire movement If you're wanting to connect with a community where you will feel support, and you want to grow and evolve as an individual.
Carlos joined for similar reasons. He wanted to be a part of like-minded entrepreneurs, but it's the community that keeps him coming back. He says, "The community of Life on Fire is really open and everyone is on that same journey. For me that connection with the people has been amazing." This group has helped him get down to the nitty-gritty of what needs to be done in his business and what he needs to learn in his industry.
Ben is another member of the Life on Fire movement who also raves about the connection and the network expansion the group provides. His investment in this group has been 10x by the return he's gotten! For him it's been about the connection, the people as well as the tools and resources he's received by being a part of the group. And he has been using all of those pieces to build his network because Ben reminds us "…the larger your network the larger your net worth."
Whether you're looking to grow your network and your net worth like Ben, have more accountability and support like Calvin or simply be a part of a group committed to changing their world like Peter, you'll get it out of the Life on Fire movement. Check out today's episode for a few more testimonials, and then pop over to Life on Fire to join us!
