Quite a solid camera, arguably introduced just a little late. The K1000 preceded it by a year, and with it came bayonet mounts and 1/1000 top speeds – by comparison the ST605n seems a bit behind the times with its M42 screw thread and 1/700th sec top speed.
Much as with Kodak, Fuji was primarily a film manufacturer who turned their hand to cameras in the '50s, and today is largely a digital imaging manufacturer. They had success with a number of rangefinders, including some quite spectacular medium format models, and produced a limited number of 35mm SLR models.
Cloth focal plane shutter, almost standard issue for the time, with a (comparatively limited) range of 1/2 to 1/700th second. Yes, the top speed not only wasn't 1/1000 but it actually wasn't a "typical" stop value either. Stopped down (!) match needle metering, with the only slightly innovative feature being shutter speed display in the viewfinder courtesy of a needle indicator linked to the speed dial on the top plate. The user had to depress the stop down switch on the front of the body to activate the meter and stop down the lens, pretty primitive compared to the contemporary K1000.
It's worth noting that this is a well made camera, with a solid feel, and it's physically smaller than the K chassis from Pentax. The reality is that, by 1977, the specification was just a bit too dated – though it does feature a self timer, which is more than can be said for the K1000.
This was another camera to which I gave serious consideration in 1980 when I was trying to decide what to spend my hard earned Saturday job money on. It's a good starter camera for a student and probably would have served me well, had I elected to buy one.
Purchased December 2012 on eBay for $45, it was a reasonable buy. As received it was quite dirty, with much of the foam disintegrating and adding to the dirt accumulation. It took more cleaning than almost any other sample at time of acquisition.

American women during World War II had certain responsibilities and contributions they were supposed to make for the war effort. For most women, they fulfilled their roles back at home by keeping the house in order, going off to work at factories to supply the army, and filling out any vacant jobs left behind by the men. Other women enlisted in the army served as cooks, nurses, and a select few in high ranking positions. Ethel B. Lewis was one of these women. She was a young, accomplished woman, part of what would later be rightly called "the Greatest Generation". Ethel made many substantial contributions to the war effort and served nearly three years with the Women's Army Corps (WAC). Ethel not only displayed what was generally expected of women in the war, but also showed how much of an impact women can have. Ethel had several notable achievements that put her above the majority, and she is a great representative of how much women actually contributed to the war effort.
Ethel was born in Wayland, Massachusetts, on October 14, 1910. Her parents were William and Flora Lewis. Ethel had an older sister, Lillian I. Johnson. The Lewis children grew up in Wayland until World War II began. Ethel began moving around the country a bit more to complete her training. She lived in Wayland for nearly thirty years before the Second World War even began, meaning she was likely very familiar with her hometown and spent a lot of time in places still known by locals today. It is interesting to consider what the town of Wayland was like during World War II and how much it has changed since then.
By growing up in the 1910s, Ethel would have been exposed to the height of the Progressive Era and seen the lasting impact of Teddy Roosevelt's presidency. The Progressive Era was a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the United States that lasted from the 1890s to the 1920s. A few examples of the things progressives looked to endorse were temperance, business regulation, women's suffrage, consumer protection, and conservation. Because she witnessed this movement growing up, Ethel may have been inspired by the activists' efforts, becoming more inclined to step up and make a difference later in life, as she did with her enlistment. Additionally, one distinctive gender norm that all American girls learned to follow was that they would one day be responsible for keeping house and taking care of their husband and children. Ethel, along with her sister, likely helped their mother frequently with house chores such as cooking, cleaning, and other housewifely duties. This household responsibility Ethel shared with her sisters may have led her to train in the Bakers and Cooks Division for three years with the WACs. Ethel's childhood definitely influenced her participation in the war years, making her a talented and notable member of the war effort. Early on in her childhood, Ethel witnessed the first World War break out across the globe. She was only four years old when the war began in Europe, and eight when it ended. Ethel was probably unaware of the political aspects of the event and only noticed how it affected her family. She had no brothers, so only one man lived in her household: her father. Local records indicate that Ethel's father did not serve in the first world war, but surely the widespread patriotism and concerns for the troops seeped into the Lewis household. It would be a surprise, for example, if Ethel and Lillian didn't joiningg the festivities of the huge 4th of July celebration in 1919, when the Wayland troops were formally honored and parades, music, food, and square dancing were all part of the day.
Years later, as Ethel was reaching adulthood and preparing to start her own family, the Great Depression hit hard in the U.S. in 1929. Ethel would have only been twenty years old and likely cautious with her planning and spending. For the rest of that decade, she would have been eagerly watching and waiting for President Franklin D. Roosevelt's next move to bring an end to the financial crisis. She certainly would have been well-acquainted with the New Deal and would have done whatever she could to help the country out of the Depression. This means that Ethel would have likely listened to Roosevelt speak to the citizens in his famous Fireside Chats and complied readily. When Roosevelt put the U.S. economy back on track, if she was not completely under his spell already, Ethel probably trusted him more, which could have led to her support of him during the coming war years.
In 1934, Ethel married her first husband, Burton George Godsoe, a young man from the neighboring town of Belmont. However, their marriage didn't last long, and they divorced before World War II began. Ethel was approaching twenty-nine when the beginning of the Second World War broke out in Europe. Ethel was eager to help her country and do whatever she could for the war effort. According to the Cochituate Jeep, Ethel enlisted in service with the WAC on December 17, 1942. Here she served for nearly three years and trained in Fort Devens, MA, Daytona Beach, FL, and Big Spring, TX. Ethel went on to receive the WAAC Good Contact, Victory and American Theater medals. Ethel then married her second husband Clifford F. Luzar, also a member of the armed forces, in Big Spring, where she served as First Cook for two and a half years. Clifford served with the Army Air Corp, where he was enlisted for three years as a private. Ethel was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant on November 3, 1945. Before the war ended, Ethel and Clifford had their only son, Thomas Charles Luzar, in 1944. With a new child and a position in the armed forces and a husband in the Air Force, it is likely Ethel was longing for the war to end as soon as possible. She probably supported President Truman's decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it ended the war immediately, before her husband would possibly need to join the invasion of Japan. After the war, Ethel and her family settled down in Big Spring. They later moved to Clifford's hometown of Hennepin County, Minnesota. Ethel and her husband were the organists together at their chapel, where they spent much of their time after the war. Ethel died peacefully in Hennepin County on January 25, 1985 at the age of 74.
Ethel B. Lewis is an excellent representative of women's role in World War II. She grew up learning how to take care of a home, made significant contributions to the war effort, and dutifully completed her role as a WAC. Ethel had to navigate through the Great Depression during her early twenties and sacrifice a portion of her family life for the war. Ethel shows us what women could do to make a difference in their country.

'Avatar' premiere: Hollywood's night on the blue carpet
Thursday December 17th 2009
The stars of "Avatar" made a fine showing in the flesh on Wednesday evening in Hollywood, hitting the blue carpet in support of James Cameron's hotly anticipated sci-fi effort, which opens this Friday.
Among the cast members on the not-red-at-all carpet? Sam Worthington, with girlfriend Natalie Mark; Zoe Saldana; a sparkling Sigourney Weaver, playing with a toy version of her avatar, Grace; and Giovanni Ribisi.
Behind-the-camera types included director James Cameron, of course, and his wife, Suzy Amis; "Single Ladies" music video director Jake Nava, who helmed Leona Lewis' video of the film's closing tune, "I See You"; and "X-Men" director Bryan Singer, who's already using new technology from "Avatar" on his upcoming "Jack the Giant Killer."
Cameron's follow up to "Titanic" — the highest-grossing film in history — has been eagerly awaited by fanboys and teen girls alike. Blame it on the dazzling visual effects and the dazzling Worthington.
Solid reviews have come in for the fantasy, and projections say Cameron's baby could rake in $250 million worldwide and take the concept of 3-D films to new levels.
One message Sam took from his character Jake Sully, a guy who stands up to bullies: "If you're 7 or 70, nobody should be able to tell you what to do," he said to the hosts of the "Avatar MySpace Red Carpet Premiere," broadcast live on UStream as the crowd entered the premiere.
So, um, he didn't let Cameron tell him what to do?
"Oh no, he told me what to do, man — he's the boss."


don't post anything at all..."
We can record TV from our phone, we can watch it on our phone but how can we actually interact with it, other than the Red Button? [Sidebar: who remembers TeleText?!] For TV shows, hashtags gave us an easy platform for social commentary and now we have linked apps (eg. The X Factor), where users can second screen and engage with the app during the show AND the ad breaks. Clever!
Similarly, Shazam has gone part-way with its audio recognition of TV ads but this is facilitated by Shazam, not the brand's app, so am I really talking to the brand? Umm, no. So how do we get customers and brands interacting directly? Enter documobi, stage left.
Documobi is taking direct response to the next stage. Our tech sits inside a brand's existing app and enables consumers to interact with printed media, digital displays and now TV. Hold the in-app camera up to the print or TV screen, use the pinch and zoom feature to frame the content and shoot! Documobi then matches the image or video to the designated content. We can then cross-reference the results with the user's GPS and, if the brand's CRM is so equipped, the user's history too so that the results for someone scanning in Highgate or the Highlands are completely different. Furthermore, this offers real-time engagement stats for the brand as the TV ad is now entirely measurable and quantifiable.
There have been many 'interactive' technologies for print (QR, NFC, AR, barcodes) but the problem is they don't all work on every media channel (think of NFC on billboards – only good for The BFG) and NONE of them can work with TV. Oh and none of them can do it all from inside the brand's app! With Documobi, every channel can now be actionable from within a branded environment, giving consumers one single UX for multiple engagements across all of the channels. Problem solved.
Let us give you a quick demo - we're really good at them! Email us at info@documobi.com or call the office on +44 1423 567093 (8am – 7pm GMT) and use the code word "unicorn".


I did too, and my Q & A has been here since I received it - about the Bendmaster bridges.
While I agree with Barry in no uncertain terms, I also know that there's sometimes an overwhelming desire to know something esoteric about an instrument and to have TP in here, well, the opportunity just presents itself, really eh!! That said, there are an awful lot of other people in here with knowledge that is none too shabby - I've been helped all the way along this quest of mine by bods in here from long time users to new people; so rather than just pop off a PM to TP, post the question here and one of us just may have the answer!! Thorn may still be about and his knowledge is right up there and I do hope he'll join in again sometime; bout, colt, sarcaster, hoax, Westbone, Barry and loads more have all helped me over the months and years and hopefully I've helped people as well: we have a great wee community in here!!
- Why was the Westone line closed and replaced with Alvarez? Was there a feeling that the Westone brand reputation had been lost or something?
- Why was the variation between versions of the Spectrum guitar bigger than between the Spectrum and the Corsair?
Put another way, what was the decision-making process behind the marketing?
And then the Genesis I and II had poplar bodies, as well (except for the solid ash TBR model). So it really seems like the only difference between the XA1330 and XA1630 is the body shape. Even the pickups and controls are identical.
There is very little variation across that range. The Spectrum I is the only one I could call a truly different guitar.
Was this just due to the transition from Matsumoku Westone to the MIK line?
More to come...I'll separate them to make it easier to answer separately.
corsair wrote: I did too, and my Q & A has been here since I received it - about the Bendmaster bridges.
Can you point me to the Q&A about the bridges? I can't find it.
It seems like the Heatwave are Alnico and the Stylist are Ferrite, correct?
But those names only appear in 1989.
In the 1990 Catalog, the only Westone-specific name I can find is "Powersound" on the Villain standard. Everything is either not named, a Trever Rabin signature, Dan Sutcliffe pickup, or EMG Select. What happened to the Stylist pickups?
The Challenger is probably my favorite guitar ever. It has perfect ergonomics for me, perfect action, perfect neck and the best tone I've ever heard on a guitar. Maybe that last part is just due to my taste, but since I'm a greedy fellow, I want to find more Westone/Alvarez guitars like it. Which other pickups, either prior to 1989 or after, is likely to have the same tone as the Stylists?
How do the Stylist, Heatwave, and Powersound pickups compare to the old MMK45, in terms of specifications? How involved were you with the design of these three pickup lines?
Indeed a very informative thread ! Thanks for that.

Star Trek Spoilers: Rantings of a tired moviegoer (did we say spoilers?)
By Viv Star Trek
By Vivian Obarski
I don't know how to start this nicely, because I'm fed up. Not my usual fed up that I can break down into a nice simple logical and reasoned argument as to why I'm irritated. No, this is something entirely different — a visceral, emotional reaction that's me being upset for no good reason. Most rational people would tell me to ignore this and wander off and do something else like knit another hat.
But this isn't rational, this is fandom.
So I'll just say it: I'm mad at the whole Star Trek Into Darkness marketing machine and how they've cloaked the villain's true identity in secret. So much so that they're willing to admit the possibility of whitewashing a major villain. And dammit, that's something I want to know, because I don't want to support that — there's been enough whitewashing in movies as of late to make me feel a bit queasy about the news surrounding this one. Don't pull a bait and switch on me with something like this. At least Avatar: the Last Airbender was honest and sprayed its whitewashing all over the damn news.
(SPOILER ALERT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED).The whole news of Cumberbatch being cast as Khan is really disappointing to me. Asian people can't get a role in Hollywood. The Asian actors I can easily think of are Lucy Liu, John Cho, Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kailing, Steven Yeun and Kal Penn.
I mean, I've watched a lot of stuff that is problematic on different levels — Argo had whitewashing, Tarantino films, any action movie where the white dude blows shit up — but this hurts more for some reason. Maybe it's taking a major villain that was East Indian and turning him into something else? Normally us Asians, if we're on screen (and not Cho, Liu, Ansari, Kailing, Yeun and Penn), we're the extras in the background, the foreign faces that make up an organized crime group or a bunch of engineers. We had the spotlight for once man and they took it away.
Don't get me wrong. I also like Cumberbatch as an actor. But (to quote a friend), if you look up the definition of WASPY Mo-fo, his picture is right by it. And the dude's gotten lots of recognition for his work (Sherlock, War Horse, Parade's End to name a few) — why not give someone else a chance at the spotlight?
What also makes me annoyed is how the press has kowtowed to JJ Abrams wishes and is now engaging in what looks to me like active trolling of its fans. They don't say exactly what's going on, but then they also nudge at it enough that people are whipping themselves into a frenzy trying to speculate on what's going on.
Frankly, it's exhausting to read. I'm exhausted reading the speculation, the coy reviews and the Internet rage about the clues given. This is like sitting in a room with everyone who gets a joke, but won't let you in on it. You know what kind of people those folks are? Assholes.
I wish I could say I didn't care. Most of me doesn't. If your entire movie is going to be ruined by the release of the identity of the villain, how good is your movie?
Hell, I was spoiled with The Sixth Sense and the movie still worked beautifully — even more so because it felt more tragic knowing what the main character didn't know. There's been articles about how getting spoiled doesn't wreck the experience for most people.
Not to mention, this whole silly dance makes it hard to discuss the film in print, as Calumn Marsh of Film.Com wrote
But being thoroughly averse to spoilers on principle does present problems for long-form film criticism, which by its very nature demands full disclosure and the ability to engage seriously with every aspect of a film, including major plot points and, indeed, even the ending. Film criticism is supposed to help illuminate a film, not simply offer a yay/nay declaration of its quality, and in order to do so well it needs to assume that its readers will be familiar with the material in question in full.
I don't know about you, but I love reading film criticism because it illuminates what I've seen. I may not have always agreed with Roger Ebert, but his writing raised interesting issues and questions about the films I loved and made me see them in a new way. It was like having a great movie discussion with a good friend who loved the same thing you did, but also had a different take on it.
Star Trek's marketing is really bothersome because JJ. Abrams is successfully taking away our ability to react or discuss things because it's shrouded in tenuous hope or fear thanks to the speculation. And after months of this, it's not exciting. It's made me weary. I was excited (given that I really enjoyed the first movie and I think Benedict Cumberbatch is an excellent actor), but now I don't care anymore. I'd rather watch RED 2 and see the old gang of assassins having fun right now. I'd rather watch Now You See Me to see a group of magicians pull of heists targeting the world's largest banks. I'd rather watch This is The End — where the spoiler is the title. Hell, I might as well watch The Great Gatsby just to see how they mixed hip hop in with the Roaring 20s. I might know what the plot is and be spoiled on all those movies I listed, but you know what? It seems more fun than the paranoia that's running rampant over on the Star Trek end of things.
Benedict CumberbatchJJ AbramsStar Trek into Darkness
[SPOILERS, y'all – same as the OP but yeah]
I am 100% with you, Viv. Not only is the whole secret-villain thing pretty thinly excused, and the whitewashing is horrible and inexcusable, but on top of it, all us Trekkers have been wondering if it's Khan for months. It's not this huge surprise, it's the MOST obvious choice.
But back to the whitewashing: what a convenient and offensive way to hide it from the fans for months. I'd like to think that there are lots of us Trekkers, people of color and otherwise, who expect more (or at least, you know, expect not to see blatant erasure of the Trek universe's own history!) – but the way this went down, the apologists are getting to run the conversation. Moreso than usual, because the film is also getting good reviews, and no one seems to think that casting WASPy McBritish is a problem because he's great.
In short, I'll have a tall glass of booze to wash down a double-dose of Fuckitol.
I'm now of the belief that they used that whole secrecy thing as a way to prevent any discussion or action regarding the whitewashing from occurring (like what happened with the Avatar the Last Airbender movie). The blog Racebending broke it down much better than I can right now, but I think the secrecy thing is pretty weak, given that it was pretty much revealed during the world previews last week.
It's also disappointing given that JJ was lauded for his TV work with Lost and such, that this occurred. My thought is that he was just seeing the casting as an attempt to throw people off the scent (Cumberbatch if I recall correctly is a last-minute replacement after talks with Benicio Del Toro fell through. Del Toro might not be South Asian, but he's not WASPy Mofo).
What I want, and I know I'm not going to get is an answer as to how this happened — I want to hear from JJ why they made the casting choice they did and whether or not Cumberbatch knew this (all interviews I've seen so far indicate he knew nothing until he signed the contract and I know people can say he still could've backed out, but that's not really feasible given contract clauses and other repercussions).
The only glee I'm getting right now is that John Cho's been throwing shade left and right for me. I'm hoping someday, when the NDA's run out, he can talk frankly also about what happened.

The Autobiography of an Electron
"While many scientific men now understand our place in the universe, we electrons are anxious that every person should know the very important part which we play in the workaday world. It was for this reason that my fellow-electrons urged me to write my own biography. I am pleased to say that my relationship with the scribe who has put down my story in the following pages has been of the most friendly description. I have allowed him to place what he calls "The Scribe's Note" at the beginning of each chapter, but it will be understood clearly that these are merely convenient embellishments, and that I am responsible for the story of my own experiences."

Spurgeon's Sermons May 1858
Charles Spurgeon was a popular Baptist minister in London in mid-Victorian times; his ministry was highly influential and had a significant effect on many families in London and further afield. It was difficult to find a hall large enough to accommodate the crowd who wished to hear him. At times the Royal Surrey Gardens' Music Hall was hired to accomodate the Sunday congregation; this could seat 10,000 but large numbers were unable to gain admittance. His world-wide heritage is very much with us today through the many chuches built, missionary work begun, children's charity founded and theological colleges established as a result of his ministry...
Morning and Evening: Daily Readings
Organized by week, this devotional has a morning and evening meditation for every day of the year. Although these devotions are short in length, they are filled with spiritual goodness. In just a few sentences, Spurgeon is able to convey the wisdom of Scripture with eloquence and purpose. These daily messages provide Christians with the spiritual energy they need to begin and end each day. Spurgeon weaves a verse of Scripture into each devotion, helping readers draw deeper meaning out of the selected passages...

How does occultism regard vegetarianism? It regards it very favorably, and that for many reasons.

The Wonder-Worker of Padua
This is the inspiring story of Saint Anthony of Padua (1195-1231). The son of a wealthy Portuguese family, he was initially ordained a priest of the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine. In 1221, he took up the habit of a poor Franciscan friar and devoted his life to fervently preaching the Word of God. His extensive knowledge of Sacred Scripture and keen insights into its profound spiritual meaning astonished his hearers. To confirm the efficacy of his words, God gave him the gifts of prophecy and of performing miracles, the most memorable of which he worked in Padua in northern Italy, where he resided for many years...
The Lepers of Molokai
This is the story of the lepers of Molokai and of the Roman Catholic missionary, Father Damien, who ministered to those who languished in that desolate place, waiting for death to release them from a most intense form of physical and mental suffering. Fr. Damien, born Jozef De Veuster, was a Roman Catholic priest from Belgium and member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, a missionary religious order. He won recognition for his ministry to people with leprosy (Hansen's disease), who had been placed under a government-sanctioned medical quarantine on the remote island of Molokai in the Kingdom of Hawaii...

Mince Pie
Mince Pie is a compilation of humorous sketches, poetry, and essays written by Christopher Morley. Morley sets the tone in the preface: "If one asks what excuse there can be for prolonging the existence of these trifles, my answer is that there is no excuse. But a copy on the bedside shelf may possibly pave the way to easy slumber. Only a mind "debauched by learning" (in Doctor Johnson's phrase) will scrutinize them too anxiously."

Shakespeare's plays are full of music: love songs, comic ditties, serious ballads, and songs for witches and spirits.

Treasury of Heroes and Heroines
It would be pleasant indeed to gather the characters of this book together and listen to the conversation of wholly different but interested couples—for this is a book of contrasts and has been written as such. Lives of the most dramatic and adventurous quality have been gathered from all corners of the earth, and from every age in history, in such a way that they may cover the widest possible variety of human experience.

A treasure trove of wise and pithy sayings, reflections on education, family values, the ideal human being, life and living, politics, art, culture and timeless wisdom, The Sayings of Confucius is indeed an invaluable addition to your bookshelf. Ever since Chinese literary works first began to be translated into European languages, the works of the legendary Chinese philosopher and teacher Confucius, who lived in present day Qufu in the Shandong province of China, more than two thousand years ago, have held universal appeal...
Confucian Analects
The Analects, or Lunyu (simplified Chinese: 论语; traditional Chinese: 論語; pinyin: Lún Yǔ; literally "Classified/Ordered Sayings"), also known as the Analects of Confucius, are considered a record of the words and acts of the central Chinese thinker and philosopher Confucius and his disciples, as well as the discussions they held. Written during the Spring and Autumn Period through the Warring States Period (ca. 475 BC - 221 BC), the Analects is the representative work of Confucianism and continues to have a substantial influence on Chinese and East Asian thought and values today...

Exercises in Knitting
Mrs. Mee, her husband, and her sister ran a yarn and needlework import/warehouse business in Bath, England. Her books primarily contain practical everyday items that knit up quickly with the busy homemaker in mind. At this time, published knitting "receipts" did not contain abbreviations and were laborious to use. They were, however, rich in error! Later in her career, due to circumstances of war and the resulting social stress and poverty, many of her knitting books were printed for ladies' charitable societies, which used her knitting "receipts" to clothe the poor mill workers who were out of work due to the American Civil War and the embargo of cotton.

That Christ Is One
Cyril of Alexandria was the leading voice of Nicene orthodoxy in the Christological controversies between Constantinople (381) and Chalcedon (451). Assuming the mantle of the Cappadotian fathers, he answered the auguments of Nestorius who had changed the liturgy of Constantinople by altering the prayer which referred to Mary as the Mother of God. Although he died seven years before the Council of Chalcedon, his writings and formulations heavily influenced not only Chalcedon, but the entire trajectory of orthodox christological thought.

All formal dogmatic religions are fallacious and must never be accepted by self-respecting persons as final. Hypatia
Hypatia by Odoardo Tabacchi
1874. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
Religious doctrine and practitioners with good intentions, have had their words distorted, manipulated and reinvented to suit the goals of and the 'end-game' of people who believe their own teachings or interpretation of 'god's word' is the absolute truth. Violence and fear-mongering was a strategy applied to enforce their beliefs onto others, use of propaganda to create scapegoats, and targeted individuals who refused to bow down to these power-hungry leaders who hid behind religion and declared their abhorrence. All these elements led to Hypatia's eventual downfall and demise.
Hypatia's father, Theon, taught her that science demands continual investigation and research to uncover new knowledge, whereas religion was based on superstition, and in the study of philosophy there was no absolute truth. Hypatia, a follower of the 'pagan' religion, did not allow these tenets dictate her desire to learn or teach the 'truth' of science. She believed in exploration of the mind, to ask questions, learn as much as possible so that one can be best prepared to understand beyond the scope of humanity.
Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all. Hypatia
This quote demonstrated Hypatia's underlying philosophy and one that did not sync with the new upcoming religion that garnered in strength and numbers. To undermine Hypatia, bishop Cyril, purposely slandered Hypatia, and in his sermons declared there were no female apostles or teachers, and hence female educators had no place in Christianity. He denounced her as a witch, who used used magic and the power of Satan to influence and tempt men of virtue and power. He went on to claim her work in astronomy was no different to astrology, and the work of a sorceress. The end for Hypatia led to the onset of suppression of women that lasted for centuries and still is happening in some countries, and also in the inequality of wages between men and women.
Death of philosopher Hypatia in Alexandria. Engraving by an unknown author. First published c. 1865. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
Hypatia's demise was horrific and demonstrated the fanatical behaviour of zealots and that of those establishing their power who feared her influence. While travelling through Alexandria on her chariot, she was besieged by Cyril's monks, dragged into a temple where they stripped her naked and beat her to death. They then tore her limb from limb and burned her remains. In version, she was beaten and then they used oyster shells to flay her skin, blood splattering the marble floor, and then they ripped her apart her body. Either way, it was horrendous and a terrible end of a woman with great intellect and notable discoveries.
I will let Hypatia have the last say here:
In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth – often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable. Hypatia
Thank you for your continued support and as always, I look forward to your comments and will respond.

Duke Energy Ohio and its customers donate $306,000 to Salvation Army for 2020 HeatShare Program
CINCINNATI – The Salvation Army has received $306,000 from Duke Energy Ohio for the 2020 HeatShare program.

COVID-19 Fundamentals Macro economic outlook Market View Startups RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LTD. Future Enterprises Ltd
Why have TPG and GIC of Singapore invested in Reliance Retail?
Anjana Aiyar answered.
After aggressively monetizing Jio Platforms, now Reliance Industries is all set to monetize Reliance Retail in a big way. Reliance Industries announced that Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and TPG Capital had invested a combined Rs.7350 crore in Reliance Retail.
As of striking this deal, Reliance had already raised close to $2 billion from global investors, including KKR, Mubadala, General Atlantic and Silver Lake Partners. All these names had also invested in the Jio Platforms stake sale by RIL.
The Government Investment Corporation of Singapore or GIC will invest Rs.5512 crore for a 1.22% stake in Reliance Retail Ventures. At the same time, TPG Capital will invest Rs.1838 crore for a smaller 0.41% equity stake in RRVL.
Most of the PE deals for Reliance Retail Ventures have happened at a valuation of around $58-60 billion. This is little lower than the valuation assigned to Jio Platforms at $68 billion by the PE funds, not counting the strategic investments by Google and Facebook.
Reliance current has a portfolio of 12,000 stores across India and had recently committed Rs.25,000 crore for acquiring Future Group's retail business. RIL plans to take on the combined might of Amazon and Wal-Mart in a big way.
It now appears that the tables are reversing. For the last 10 years, it was oil and petchem that bankrolled the big investments into telecom, digital and retail. Now the equity currency is being used to bankroll the new energy and life sciences plans of Reliance group.
What is the logic of Reliance Retail buying a majority stake in Just Dial?
Hi Diksha, do you suggest me to take profits off the table on IGL, L&T Finance Holdings, Spencer Retail and Reliance Industries? I am in profits. Any fresh buying ideas?
How do you see the latest investment of PIF of Saudi Arabia in Reliance Retail?
Is it true that Reliance Retail is finally offering WhatsApp ordering on its Jio Mart platform?
What are the next steps, now that Just Dial shareholders have voted in favour of the stake sale to Reliance Retail?
What is the meaning of the latest Delhi High Court ruling on the case involving Amazon, Reliance Retail and Future Group?
Are Carlyle and Softbank also now interested in buying a stake in Reliance Retail?
As Reliance Retail gets control of Future Enterprises and all its businesses, do you think that the traditional mall model is not going to work?
Can you share details of the Mubadala investment in Reliance Retail?
How do you see Reliance Retail business versus D-Mart after the spate of stake sale that RIL had managed to do?

Multiplayer workaround - Use winetricks for directplay to enable connection options. Connections work for LAN and WAN (if ports are forwarded correctly) 3D Acceleration work around - the winemac driver seems to have an issue with the 3D acceleration. Commenting out the guts of the updateColorSpace function within cocoa_window.m prior to building fixes this issue. Lastely, once multiplayer is up, the game hangs when attempting to abort multiplayer games requiring the user to force quit. This can be worked around by running the game with winedbg rather than wine.
Seems like it could be a GUI error not loading the text for the different network options or that the network options themselves are not loading. Have you tried running JK without the -windowgui option, and have you tried running winetricks for directplay and directx9?


The city near Zbruch river was mentioned in 1210. On a steep rock which protected settlement from a southeast, in 60-70th of XIV century was built fortress. In 1443 king Vladyslav granted the Magdeburg Right to the Skala.
In August, 7th, 1498, king Yan Olbryht has released city dwellers for 15 years from all taxes, and in 1510 - for 8 years.
In 1515 Skala mentioned as city last time.
The arms of city was not kept. However in Warsaw in one of archives I.Svarnyk revealed two prints of a stamp 1531 and 1535 years. On it is the board with city gate and three towers completed by prongs. This arms finds acknowledgement in F.Kovalyshyna's register: "on a dark blue board is white wall with a gate, above them are three towers completed by prongs".

Weekly yoga classes can be held at lunchtime or after work in your place of work. Taking the body through a range of movement in the middle of the day not only helps you keep physically healthy, but also keeps you more alert in the afternoons. Mats and equipment can be provided for these sessions.
Do you suffer from any of the following after a day in the office?
Then come along to our Office Yoga workshops.
You don't need a yoga mat, or even to change clothes for these sessions, as they are held at your desks. Exercises are done seated and standing and we use the chair, desk and sometimes a wall, as props.
As we spend more and more time sitting in front of the computer and in cars, our chances of developing conditions like those listed above increase. These are sometimes referred to as MSIs (musculoskeletal injuries).
The good news is, we can both relieve and help prevent MSIs by doing simple exercises and through posture awareness.
The workshop exercises are designed to be incorporated into your work day and done in your office. They will include: upper and lower body mobilisation, core activation for strength and release, basic breathing techniques, workstation posture awareness.
Remember: prevention is better than cure!
Contact Lorna to book your corporate session now.


Libra falls on the midway point of the zodiac wheel, coming in at number seven of 12. Likewise she represents the midpoint of the body, ruling the lumbar spine and sacral chakra. If you have low back pain, it is important to AVOID forward folds. Often low back pain is a result of over stretching – forward folds only further aggravate the low back! The muscles of the low back hurt because they have been stretched beyond their original size and shape. Instead open the hips and the front of the body. Think of how often our spine is rounded: texting, driving, cooking, sitting, working on the computer, etc. In fact, we stretch the muscles of the low back almost constantly throughout the day. More info at Libra Yoga.
Libra is also connected to something called prana. The prana vayu governs respiration, swallowing, sensory intake and the mental body. Prana is associated with inward/upward spatial direction. When prana vayu is weak, we misperceive the reality of our surroundings. Think of imbalanced prana as intake malfunction of the mental and/or emotional body.
Libra's quest takes the form of uncomfortable social experiments. Libra teaches us to speak up and practice healthy confrontation. Don't hide, don't internalize – be honest and say what you need to say. Communicate everything, no matter how infinitesimal. Whatever happens, do not compromise your value or self-worth.
Each constellation waters different karmic seeds. In Libra these are the seeds of interpersonal relationship. Soul contracts of all kinds culminate during this cycle: twin flames and friendships and vampiric sinkholes alike. We all have seeds to release here, and it's not all beautiful. Do not hesitate to receive new humans with prudence, even reservation. Observe and get to know people. Ask lots of questions, pierce the gray.
If you live communally, you know how the winds of communication fly from mouth to mouth, mind to mind. There's nothing hippie-harmonic about it. The scale not only symbolizes balance but also decision-making and intensive listening. Before "weighing in," Libra gathers as much information as possible. However, if this intake period lasts too long, a decision may never be reached. At this point we may purport to be on both sides at once, or resort to passive-aggressive communication, even if we know exactly how we feel.
It's not Libra who wavers and waffles, it is us, our own frailty in the face of her demands. Be firm in your choices. Non-commitment and non-action, though devilishly tempting, are strictly forbidden!
Libra calls for contemplation. We have to think while we move. What is the right choice, how to know? Look at your current social circle. Moving to a new physical location may be necessary, but even some shift, however subtle, in how and with whom you spend time may be enough. If you need, make radical change and make it now — walk or RUN away from toxic people. Don't stay and tell yourself that it will all work out if it's not working now.
Friends and lovers are a reflection of who and where we are. Through trial and error we whittle down the "outside," refining soul contracts and coming to know the value of real peace. If you have been polishing your inner diamond, working hard to better understand yourself and your needs, then I see a magnificent window for true love and communion with another or, even better, yourself.
The full moon of Sep 24 looks like it is going to be wild – I recommend exercising caution, nothing too risky or unusual. The good news is that the energy of this full moon will continue ramping up to a spectacular trine between the sun and Mars in Aquarius on Sep 27 – should be a truly dynamic, exciting couple of days. The quarter moon of Oct 2 looks challenging, but there is great opportunity for cathartic emotional release in the form of a long overdue conversation. Venus Retrograde begins on Oct 5 – many Libra type challenges will present themselves over the coming months. Oct 10-11 may be especially difficult as well. This cycle ends on a very striking note with a direct opposition to Uranus Retrograde in Aries – anything could happen! Prepare for the unexpected.
Libra's gifts are found in the hearts of those who are calm. Stand close to them. Avoid those who are strong in character, as they may prove especially volatile, controlling or angry. In meditation, focus on the sacral chakra. Try balancing poses in yoga. Happy star gazing!

First sign of 'dark winter' kicking in?
"NFL To Postpone Several Games Over COVID Spread"
* Covid's icy grip on Europe: Winter infections soar on the continent as Belgium rages with anti-lockdown riots, Holland enforces brutal new curbs and Germany bans tourists in desperate bid to slow the march of Omicron
* CDC warns 15,000 Americans will die EACH WEEK by Christmas; it's actually VACCINE DEATHS accelerating just as independent doctors told us all along
* 326 athlete cardiac arrests, serious issues, 183 dead, after Covid shot
* The globalists are preparing for mass murder in the weeks ahead
Update (1530ET): The National Football League has released a press release explaining the game changes due to the COVID-19 threat.
The Las Vegas Raiders-Cleveland Browns game scheduled for Saturday, December 18 has been moved to Monday, December 20 at 5 p.m. ET on NFL Network.
The Washington Football Team-Philadelphia Eagles game and Seattle Seahawks-Los Angeles Rams game scheduled for Sunday, December 19, have been moved to Tuesday, December 21. Washington-Philadelphia and Seattle-Los Angeles Rams will both kick off at 7 p.m. ET on FOX and also will be available on NFL Sunday Ticket.
We have made these schedule changes based on medical advice and after discussion with the NFLPA as we are seeing a new, highly transmissible form of the virus this week resulting in a substantial increase in cases across the league.
We continue to make decisions in consultation with medical experts to ensure the health and safety of the NFL community.
The National Football League is set to postpone several games this weekend due to a surge in COVID-19 infections, according to CNBC.
The move comes as COVID infections and hospitalizations are rising once again. "The cases are going up," Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday.
"We have an average of about 117,000 cases. We have an increase the percentage of hospitalizations. Deaths are still over a thousand. Then you have, looking over your shoulder, the Omicron variant, which we know, from what's going on in South Africa and in the UK, is a highly transmissible virus," Fauci said.
As of Dec. 15, the NFL's COVID-19 vaccination rate was 94.6% of NFL players are vaccinated; nearly 100% of NFL personnel are vaccinated.
CNBC's report didn't mention which games would be postponed. However, on Twitter, handle, "Fox Sports: NFL" noted there is "talk about postponing multiple Week 15 games, including Raiders-Browns, Washington-Eagles and Seahawks-Rams, due to COVID-19 concerns."
Here's more on the timing of the rescheduled games.
Monday night doubleheader:
🏈Raiders at Browns, 5 pm
🏈Vikings at Bears, 8:20 pm
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 17, 2021
Seahawks at Rams, and WFT at Eagles both are now expected to be rescheduled for Tuesday, per sources.
If the postponed games had been cancelled, players would not have gotten paid for the week.
NFL Reporter Tom Pelissero says that if a game cannot be rescheduled, the team with the COVID outbreak will be forced to forfeit.
The NFL just informed clubs that if a game cannot be rescheduled during the 18-week season in 2021 due to a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, the team with the outbreak will FORFEIT and be credited with a loss for playoff seeding, per sources.
Massive implications.

Alexithymia is associated with a multidomain, multidimensional failure of interoception: Evidence from novel tests.

Interoception, the perception of the body's internal state, contributes to numerous aspects of higher-order cognition. Several theories suggest a causal role for atypical interoception in specific psychiatric disorders, including a recent claim that atypical interoception represents a transdiagnostic impairment across disorders characterized by reduced perception of one's own emotion (alexithymia). Such theories are supported predominantly by evidence from only one interoceptive domain (cardiac); however, evidence of domain-specific interoceptive ability highlights the need to assess interoception in noncardiac domains. Using novel interoceptive tasks, we demonstrate that individuals high in alexithymic traits show a reduced propensity to utilize interoceptive cues to gauge respiratory output (Experiment 1), reduced accuracy on tasks of muscular effort (Experiment 2), and taste sensitivity (Experiment 3), unrelated to any co-occurring autism, depression, or anxiety. Results suggest that alexithymia reflects a multidomain, multidimensional failure of interoception, which is consistent with theories suggesting that atypical interoception may underpin both symptom commonalities between psychiatric disorders and heterogeneity within disorders.

(a) Example trial in the respiratory task; participants were asked to estimate their ability to produce a target exhalation defined with respect to a standard exhalation under conditions manipulating reliance on external and internal cues. The difference in estimation accuracy between internal and external cue conditions is plotted, demonstrating alexithymia was associated with a reliance on external cues. (b) Example trial in the muscular effort task; participants indicated when the target weight matched that of the standard. Alexithymia was associated with reduced accuracy. (c) Example trial in the taste task; participants reported whether the target solution was more or less salty than the standard. Taste sensitivity was modeled by fitting psychometric functions, the plot demonstrates that increasing levels of alexithymia were associated with poorer taste sensitivity, even after controlling for a number of potentially confounding variables (see text for details).
Alexithymia Is Associated With a Multidomain, Multidimensional Failure of Interoception: Evidence From Novel Tests
J Exp Psychol Gen. 2018 Mar;147(3):398-408.
Illustration of the proposed 2 × 2 factorial structure of interoception. Factor 1 distinguishes between interoceptive accuracy (the ability to accurately perceive the internal state of one's body) and awareness (the propensity to become aware of interoceptive signals). Factor 2 distinguishes between an individual's beliefs in their interoceptive ability (self-report) and their objective performance on tests of interoception across Factor 1 dimensions (see text for details). Therefore, this model suggests four possible dimensions of interoception: (a) the ability to accurately perceive the internal state of one's body as measured by objective tests (e.g., the heartbeat tracking task; ). (b) the ability to accurately self-report one's ability to perceive the internal state of one's body; (c) one's self-reported propensity to become aware of interoceptive signals (e.g., the Body Perception Questionnaire; ); and (d) one's propensity to utilize internal signals as measured by objective tests (e.g., the respiratory output task; Experiment 1).

Happy Birthday Emily Dickinson!
Posted on December 10, 2018 by Xena Becker
Born on December 10th, 1830, Emily Dickinson was a prolific and reclusive poet whose writing ranged from descriptive and observational to introspective and theoretical and touched on themes of flowers, death, and religion. Though very few of her works circulated during her life, over 1,800 poems hand-bound into "fascicles" were discovered in her room after her death. These pieces had unique punctuation and were unbound and arranged chronologically for their first publication, with standardized punctuation added to replace the dashes Dickinson frequently used. However, several researchers have worked to reconstruct the original fascicles and republish Dickinson's poems with the original punctuation. Dickinson had a profound influence on poetry through her work and is considered alongside Walt Whitman as the founder of "a uniquely American poetic voice."[1]
This image come from A Pocket Book of Modern Verse in Gwendolyn Brooks' personal library. Brooks, herself an influential and acclaimed poet, made extensive annotations in most books that she read. This was especially true for works of poetry, in which Brooks would go so far as to rewrite lines in her own and other writers' poems in the margins. Dickinson, however, seems to have held a special place in her eyes, and her annotations are highly complementary, even going so far as to call A Bird Came Down the Walk a "perfect poem."

This clip is great for animal lovers and young children - Momma Bear and her three young cubs in the wild of northern Ontario, Canada. These wildlife experts are taking a winter bear census right in the hibernation dens. You'll love this, besides the cute precious 6 week old baby bears (eyes still closed), the guy (Rick Mercer) has some of the funniest lines. By the way, the park is named after the Algonquin Indians, who many moons ago populated the Ontario Province and western New York. The audio is hilarious!

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma From Camp Lejeune Toxic Water
Home » Personal Injury » California Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Litigation Claim Lawyer » Qualifying Diagnoses for Camp Lejeune Lawsuit Claims » Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma From Camp Lejeune Toxic Water
Maison Law is representing residents of California who experienced serious health issues such as Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after exposure to toxic water at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
Contact us today for a free legal consultation if you or a loved one developed cancer or any other disease after coming in contact with Camp Lejeune's contaminated water between 1953 and 1987.
Benefits for Camp Lejeune Victims with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) was signed into law on August 10, 2022. The act grants victims of Camp Lejeune's contaminated water a two-year window to file injury claims against the Department of Defense.
To receive compensation, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma victims must prove they served, lived, or worked at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days at any point between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987. The 30 days of exposure do not have to have been consecutive.
Camp Lejeune Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients must also have medical documentation of their diagnosis and invoices showing treatment costs. Estimates on the costs of their care that might be needed in the years ahead would also be used to figure the size of a Camp Lejeune toxic water settlement check.
A Camp Lejeune Justice Act Lawyer serving California victims would assist in tracking down important documents no matter how far back treatment goes. A skilled attorney will also help families who have lost a loved one to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma to gather all evidence and documents need to file a wrongful death CLJA claim.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Caused By Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Exposure
The Mayo Clinic describes Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma as cancer that begins in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system that extends throughout the body. White blood cells called lymphocytes grow abnormally to form growths on the lymph nodes.
Lymph nodes are a collection of immune system cells. They are found in the neck, armpits, belly, groin, and elsewhere. Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma also forms in the spleen (where lymphocytes are made), in bone marrow, and other parts of the lymphatic system.
The CDC finds that there is strong evidence tying exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) and benzene to an increased risk for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Both of these chemicals were found in water wells at Camp Lejeune and were known to have been present from 1953 to 1987 or longer.
Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) is another major contaminant found in Camp Lejeune water treatment facilities. It's also been associated with an increased risk of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Patients diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma often face long, difficult treatment regimes. Treatments can include one or a combination of drug therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem-cell transplants. The treatments can go a long way towards robbing victims of their quality of life. They'll also be expensive and can quickly deplete a victim's and family member's savings accounts.
Compensation Available for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Victims and Their Loved Ones
Camp Lejeune water crisis victims living in California don't need to guess if they qualify for federal compensation for their hardships. Speaking with a Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawyer in a free case review is a great way to confirm eligibility. It's also a no-risk way to determine just how much your Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma injury claim may be worth.
Your Camp Lejeune Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma attorney would prepare strong evidence and negotiate to get the most out of any settlement with the U.S. Department of Defense.
The following factors and others will be key when the amount of your Camp Lejeune contaminated water settlement is determined:
Past, current, and future medical bills.
Support for the pain victims endure during treatment for cancers, including during surgery, during recovery, and through chemotherapy.
Support for the emotional trauma Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma patients and their families endure. The anxiety and depression that follows a difficult cancer treatment schedule.
Support for a loss of consortium (loss of intimacy with a partner).
Support for a loss of quality of life.
Loss of earnings while a patient is unable to work while in recovery from cancer. Lifetime support when Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma caused by Camp Lejeune toxic water forces victims to give up their careers or military service.
Wrongful death benefits. Families of Camp Lejeune water victims should demand reimbursement for funeral costs and the enormous medical bills patients likely accumulated before they passed on. Close relatives would also count on a Camp Lejeune contaminated water wrongful death claim to secure support in replacing the income the deceased could no longer provide the family.
How Long Do I Have to File a Camp Lejeune Justice Act Claim?
Military veterans and their families who served or lived on Camp Lejeune are eligible to file claims under the CLJA. Civilian employees who worked on Camp Lejeune who suffered from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma may file. Families may file on behalf of a deceased loved one even if they passed on decades ago.
But potential claimants must act quickly. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act opened the window for lawsuits for a total of two years starting from the moment it passed. That means victims and their families have until August 10, 2024, to file a claim.
This may seem like a long time, but you'll want to give your Camp Lejeune Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Lawyer as much time as possible to build your claim. Medical records and paystubs from long ago may take a while to collect. Also, the sooner you file the sooner your family may receive the Camp Lejeune toxic water compensation they've desperately awaited.
Contact a California Camp Lejeune Justice Act Lawyer
Many victims of toxic water at Camp Lejeune still live in North Carolina, but some military families were reassigned to Camp Pendleton in California. Many potential Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma victims may have retired in and around Oceanside or anywhere else in California.
Maison Law has made itself available to represent and provide focused legal assistance to California's victims of cancers experienced after time at Camp Lejeune. Maison Law is also able to compassionately represent families forced to grieve the loss of loved ones who served, lived, or worked at Camp Lejeune.
If you or a loved one developed Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after contact with contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, you might be eligible for substantial compensation.
Contact attorney Martin Gasparian for a free and confidential case consultation for you and your family.


ere dawns yet another new year spreading rays of hope and good luck. And I am left wondering what is so special about this day? May be, this is one of those rare days where we can look back, analyze and find out what went wrong thereby taking rectifying measures. It gives an opportunity to re-plan and restructure our lives. It allows us to draw new targets (achievable and meaningful one) and ask ourselves of we attained our last year's goals.
In other ways, this is that day where we can block our calendars with ourselves to do a performance appraisal and give rating. Sounds too corporate? Arey, let it sound so!
Periodic review of our life is a rejuvenating experience. It makes us closer to ourselves and lets us disclose our weirdest fears to ourselves.
Why don't we take a piece of paper (Yes, you heard me right. Please take a paper and pen. No more gadgets guys) and set some goals. Also why don't we write down those good and bad things that happened in 2013?
Am I being too preachy? May be. But I still wish you do that.
If you are a student, life is simpler. You enjoy… study… write exams with a scorn… And you get your results published in the form of marks… That's a performance indicator, right?
Then dear all, why don't we measure our performance as a person? The time you spend would be enriching. I can assure so much!
All said, let us hope for a great year ahead. Let us get more time for ourselves, family and friends. Let us celebrate life and let all our teeny-weeny dreams come true.
Wishing you all the happiness too!
I totally agree with you. Writing things down on paper makes us accountable. HNY!
The idea of measuring performance on paper makes sense and I did it a decade back as confused young man. Time to do a re-visit.
