As a cosmetic chemist, I am always looking for novel ways to deliver the best results to my target consumer using techniques and delivery methods that make her regimen more convenient. I often relate this process to be very much like cooking. There are hundreds of ways to make a cake, and even the smallest of changes to the recipe or procedure can change the end result. Similarly, hair and skin products are made up of a number of different types of ingredients that have different functions and purposes, and together they deliver certain results that they couldn't deliver alone.
It is commonly said that you can't judge a book by its cover and this also applies to hair products. One misconception that I often hear is the consumer's correlation between product consistency with overall effectiveness of the product providing moisture and slip to the hair. However, consistency (or viscosity which is the technical term) is only one of many factors that contribute to the effectiveness of a product. The consistency of a product is commonly used to improve the delivery of a product or to help provide weight to the hair mold it into the shape or style that the user is attempting to achieve. Although emulsifiers and thickeners used to thicken products are often great conditioning agents, they are not necessarily the primary conditioning agents in the formula.
Although emulsifiers and thickeners used to thicken products are often great conditioning agents, they are not necessarily the primary conditioning agents in the formula.
What's really happening with thick products?
Many ingredients lay on top of the hair fiber to help smooth the cuticles to lay flatter, which attributes to the hair feeling smoother, softer, and looking shinier. Thicker products commonly have ingredients that serve this function, but some of the best conditioning polymers that provide the ideal tactile feel of the hair do not drastically change the consistency of a product and can be found in thinner products such as conditioners and foams. We often associate a product's effectiveness by determining if the product absorbs into the hair or "penetrates" the cuticle layer, but the truth is that the molecular size of most ingredients is too large to bypass the openings on the cuticle layer. Don't be alarmed. This is not necessarily a bad thing because ingredients that are substantive to the outer portion of hair fiber are commonly what provide the slip and softness that consumers often associate with moisture.
Here's a common misconception that most consumers don't realize…scientifically the only ingredient that can add moisture to the hair is water, whether it be in liquid or vapor form. As consumers, we often confuse moisture with softness or lubricity. Due to the fact that this is a common and universally accepted concept in the industry, brands often promote and make claims around products being more moisturizing even though what the consumer is feeling may not technically be considered moisture.
Moisture is still an important variable in maintaining healthy hair, but the trick is to infuse as much moisture in the hair and seal it in using non-penetrable ingredients that are light enough to not weigh the hair down, but substantive enough to last for long periods of time to provide the softness we crave.
The pH of a product is also an extremely important variable in product formulations because the pH of the hair can alter the permeability level of the cuticle layer. An easy way to explain pH is a measure of the level of acidity or alkalinity in an aqueous solution. The pH scale runs from 1 – 14, with 7 being the neutral point. Therefore, anything under 7 is considered acidic and anything above 7 is considered alkaline. In acidic conditions, the hair cuticle layer constricts causing the cuticle scales to close tighter, making the hair smoother, less permeability, and easier to detangle, because the strands have lesser friction with a closed cuticle. In alkaline conditions, the hair swells and permeability is increased due to the cuticles expanding or "lifting" creating more space for molecules to penetrate between the cuticle layers into the cortex. The average pH of healthy hair is approximately 4.5 – 5.5, making hair slightly acidic. Therefore, products with higher pH levels (including water which has a pH of 7) can cause the hair to swell causing this effect. Conditioners are products that often have a lower pH (an average of 4 – 5) which help the cuticle layer to close back after being exposed to higher pH conditions.
The molecular weight (MW) of an ingredient varies and determines its size. The larger the MW, the less likely it is able to penetrate the cuticle later. The opening on the cuticle layer varies by individual, but in its resting state only allows for molecules smaller than 10 Daltons to penetrate. In a swollen state after hair has been exposed to very high pH conditions, molecules as large as approximately 500 Daltons may be able to penetrate. To provide some context, one water molecule is approximately 180 Daltons. There are very few ingredients that can penetrate the cuticle layer, which is why it is critical to formulate with materials that are highly substantive to the hair fiber to help lock moisture.
As you can see, there are a number of scientific variables happening at a microscopic level that contribute to how a product performs. As consumers, we can easily start to translate common product experiences into what we perceive to be "product laws," but this can handicap us from being open to experiencing unconventional products that may deliver the same or better results using different methods. There are always advances in cosmetic science and the ability to combine new and novel ingredients together to perform in unique ways. Therefore, it is important to keep an open mind when trying new products because a new combination of ingredients that may look and feel different from the norm could be easily become your new favorite product!
These products may not feel thick, but in our experience they are just as moisturizing as your thicker formulas.
Do you typically choose products based on thickness?


This document describes the installation and introduction to the package SECD_Mania, especially the final part of the package - pure_LISP language and its implementation base - the virtual SECD machine.
pure_LISP is a pure LISP implementation for GNU/Linux OS, based on an modified version of SECD virtual machine.
only input/output functions may cause side effects and IO objects (files, connections, pipes) may changes during evaluation.
non-deterministick calls and fails, completed with interprocess message passing.
it is a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive dialect of LISP.
it is non-strict language (or language with lazy evaluations).
wide range of data types (only atoms and integers are terminal types now).
atom space is not indexed and garbage collector doesn't work on it.
links to other languages and OS libraries.
Download the pure_LISP from here.
Requirements: You must have FreePascal installed on your system.
If you use some other Linux, go to FreePascal home page for instructions.
There is some troubles with the new versions of Free Pascal (Version 1.9.x and higher). One of the meta files (sec_drivers.pp) uses the Linux unit. This unit must be replaced with the new units Unix and BaseUnix in future versions, but now (October 2004) i use the unit OldLinux instead of Linux to resolve current dependencies. This change is made only in sub-package Base_4.
Now you have the package sources in subdirectory Base_4.
After this, SECD virtual machine will be compiled and started. (read the make_all shell script for details).
The bootstrap process is simple - first the strict_LISP program kernel.sec is loaded and started.
Kernel, together with SECD machine emulates multitasking system.
The first task loaded and executed is the SECD code from the file miniOS.sec. This code defines a small miniOS program.
The first line of the response - list (#ldc 2 #ldc 5 #add) is a SECD code, compiled version of your command (add 2 5). This code is then executed and the result - integer number 7 in this examle is printed on the conslole.
Let a is the sum of 2 and 3.
Evaluate a multiplied by a and give the result.
More info about possible pure_LISP functions you may find in pure_LISP reference.
3. Files in the package.
Open a new console and go to the pure_LISP package subdirectory (in my computer this is /home/skelet/secd/Base_4).
Computer will show you the package files and subdirectories.
secd is the main program of the package - SECD virtual machine interpreter.
will execute the secd code from the file 'miniOS.sec'.
For more detailed explanation of SECD bootstrap process see implementation scheme.
sec_lists.pp defines SECD data types, list meta commands and garbage collectors.
sec_codes.pp defines the SECD machine interpreter.
sec_atoms.pp defines the atom space and lexeme handling.
sec_drivers.pp defines file and TCP handling.
make_all is a shell script. It compiles and runs the SECD interpreter.
Changes.txt describes differences from the previos machine (in bigger package SECD Mania).
sysfun.lst is a list of the names and associated info for compiler defined pure_LISP functions.
krn_fun.lst is a list of the names and associated info for compiler defined strict_LISP functions.
errors.lst is a list of sentences about run time errors.
secd.log is log file, where the working SECD machine will write some statistics and error messages.
kernel.sys is the source of the strict_LISP kernel. See implementation for more info.
miniOS.lsp is the main part of the miniOS. It uses the libs system, btree and compiler.
client.lsp is a simple client who talks with the miniOS using TCP connection.
strict.lsp is a strict_LISP compiler. It is used for compilation of the kernel only.
system.lib is a library for the basic I/O and other functions.
btree.lib is a library for some binary tree utilities, used by the compiler.
compiler.lib is a library containing the compiler sources.
numbers.lib is a library for all numeric examples.
sysmono.lib is old version of system.lib, used by non-deterministic examples.
miniOS.sec is the code of the miniOS server.
client.sec is program code for miniOS client.
kernel.sec is the kernel code.
After this, new miniOS shell console is started. All works are done by the miniOS server (miniOS.sec code). Program client.sec is only mediator between new console and the server.
Implementation aspects of this package.
In Numbers subdirectory are defined some infinite sequences from the theory of numbers.
Examples subdirectory contains other examples.
first copy the example source from its directory (Numbers or Examples) into the main directory.
Examples in subdirectory Numbers demonstrate the usage of infinite sequences in lazy evaluations. They all uses the library numbers.lib. In this library are defined lists of all numbers, prime numbers and pitagorean triples. But in final expression only limited part of these lists may be evaluated and printed (if we try to print all numbers, some overflow will happens).
fiblist prints first 30 Fibonachy numbers.
pitlazy prints first 100 Pitagorean triples.
pitfast prints first 1000 Pitagorean triples, but uses more mathematics and is faster.
primes prints first 1000 prime numbers.
prmember prints the 2000-th prime number.
twins prints first 1000 prime numbers twins.
test increase all elements of the list (1 2 3 4 5) and then reverse the result.
queens is a non-deterministic solution of the problem '8 queens'.
pitmono is non-deterministic program, evaluating some pitagorean triples.
It is like queens and must be executed alone.
pitagor is like pitmono but it is addopted to be used in miniOS.
Little changes in this program or into the pure_LISP evaluation model may crash the evaluation.
queens_bad is an example of incorrect non-deterministic program. The incorrectness is a result of mixing of the laziness and parallelism into one step. Compare it with more proper program queens.
More about problems with non-deterministic examples and their miniOS variants you may read in file ../History.txt.

Book Review: The Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen
Are any of you big "South Park" fans? There's a classic and now-famous episode called "Simpsons Already Did It" (S6E7) whose theme is basically that no matter what plotline for the show you could think of, the long-running prime time cartoon "The Simpsons" already did it. It's tough stepping into a domain where the greats have been working for a long time. When it comes to the work of Carolyn Ketchum, that motif also runs through the minds of low carb food bloggers.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page	SCP-1931.
The second Herman Fuller SCP.
Special thanks to everyone who helped on forums and on chat, including Vezaz, Mr. Wilt, and Myriad. Also, a big thank-you to Smapti for letting me allude to his wonderful Jester's Tale.
Changed image in 2019 to Tiger Head by Thomas Quine.
This still has not been taken care of.
Fixed the years, missed the months. Sorry about that.
Holy crap. The source of the Palm Reader's paw… Where balloons go… The Jester, the frigging Jester! I don't know if this is too many connections, but they're all great!
Hm. I'm not sure on this. The effect itself is pretty weak, and the reliance on other items seems a bit much. The Jester connection is amusing, but it'd be a hell of a trick for this guy to frame Jacob, considering the facts as presented in that story. Also, the fangs in the picture look really fake, which contradicts what you say in the article itself. Then again, I'm no expert on tiger teeth.
The bit with him becoming okay with killing people for the circus is amusing, though I'm not sure if I like it. Document C doesn't really add much, beyond the weird thing with the toes, which is a bit too arcane.
This. Also, I am not fond of linking to tales without good reason — linking to other SCPs makes sense, because those are meant to be documents the Foundation has, and they would absolutely refer to another document when necessary. On the other hand, unless a tale is presented as a Foundation document, it just doesn't make sense in-universe.
I would allow it if it were presented as sort of an easter egg, like it is in SCP-355, but context clearly indicates that it's supposed to link you to a non-technical, first-hand life story of this SCP. Which is nonsensical.
You have a very good point. Edited accordingly.
Didn't really think that one through. Shoulda cleared it with you first, sorry. Methinks you're just playing around, but if you're really uncomfortable with it I can change it around some more.
I'd just change him to SCP-████. The current incarnation of him wasn't ever necessarily 1234.
I intentionally phrased the diary entry to leave it ambiguous whether or not Bernard framed Jacob. Either Bernard was innocent and he just enjoyed watching David and his brother suffer, or he talked Jacob into killing Annie and used him as a scapegoat for the other murders.
I like it. It's not the best article on here, by any means, but it's interesting enough on its own and adds some flavor to 1884.
There's this tale if you haven't read it yet.
I like this SCP very much. The effect itself is one of those "huh, so that's a thing" deals, but the additional documentation sold it. How many more are you planning to do?
The circus needs to become an "actual" GoI on the GoI page. There needs to be more SCPs from them. And more tales. +1.
Right now there are only 2 SCPs and 1 tale related to the Circus, and all of them were written by me. I'm not against the idea of more HFCotD SCPs and tales, but the amount of content seems way too small to be recognized as a GoI.
also, you should wait until there's circus stuff being done by more than one writer.
Hence why I pointed out that I'm the only one writing these as of now. It'd feel like shameless self-promotion if I tried to make it a GoI when I'm the only one working on it. This whole circus thing just started as a personal series of interconnected articles, and although I'm open to people adding to the mythos, I'm in no hurry to get on the GoI list.
Hell, I love this but I don't want it to be a GoI. An article-based canon, sure (similar to Skara's Bonifay family), but not necessarily a GoI. I would, however, love to contribute to this thing when I get the chance.
I very much feel the same way. GsoI do best when it's possible to do different angles on them. This doesn't seem like it has much room for expansion.
Awesome! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Someone else has told me they're planning on writing a HFCotD skip, so I added a blurb to my member page to give interested parties a general overview of how I see the Circus.
As for the GoI thing, I think of the term as more of a label than anything else. The Circus as I imagine it doesn't function like any GoI we have right now, but I wouldn't mind people calling it one as long as they don't try to impose the "rules" of other GoIs on it.
This is better enough for an upvote, but I'm still not wild about it.

Mystery on the Isles of Shoals: Closing the Case on the Smuttynose Ax Murders of 1873
J Dennis Robinson
The shocking but true story behind the film and bestselling novel, The Weight of Water The cold-blooded ax murder of two innocent Norwegian women at their island home off the Maine and New Hampshire coast has gripped the region since 1873, beguiling tourists, inspiring artists, and fueling conspiracy theorists. The killer, a handsome Prussian fisherman down on his luck, was quickly captured, convicted in a widely publicized trial, and hanged in an unforgettable gallows spectacle. But he never confessed and, while in prison, he gained a circle of admirers whose blind faith in his innocence still casts a shadow of doubt. A fictionalized bestselling novel and a Hollywood film have further clouded the truth. Finally, a definitive whydunnit account of the Smuttynose Island ax murders has arrived. Popular historian J. Dennis Robinson fleshes out the facts surrounding this tragic robbery gone wrong in a captivating true-crime page-turner. He goes beyond the headlines of the burgeoning yellow press to explore the deeper lessons about American crime, justice, economics, and hero worship. Years before the Lizzie Borden ax murder trial and the fictional Sherlock Holmes, Americans met a sociopath named Louis Wagner-and many came to love him.

Aureum – An Aerial and Acrobatic Adventure Tale
Event: Aureum – An Aerial and Acrobatic Adventure Tale
When: Saturday, April 4, 2020, 8 pm
Where: The Mendel Center at Lake Michigan College, 2755 East Napier Ave., Benton Harbor, MI
Tickets: $26 - $46 + applicable fees
Mendel Center Box Office, (269) 927-8700, option 1, or www.TheMendelCenter.com
An unforgettable high-flying experience for the whole family comes to The Mendel Center April 4
The Mendel Center presents an evening of thrills and storytelling for the whole family when Aureum – An Aerial and Acrobatic Adventure Tale from Halcyon Shows comes to the Mainstage on Saturday, April 4, at 8 pm as part of the Discovery Series.
Aureum is a story of finding love in the most unusual places, and how the bonds that unite us are stronger than those that divide us. The benevolent White Queen of Aureum and her warrior guardian welcome twins into the world. Knowing that the White Queen's bloodline is the only way to gain control of the powerful magic of the Seed, the Red Empress, seeking to gain ultimate power over Aureum, hatches an evil plan to kidnap one of the twins, setting the tale in motion.
The Seed commands the forces of nature and imbues its carrier with immense power and strength. In the meantime, a young academic has discovered a key that magically transports him to Aureum where he stumbles into a world of wonder and the amazing characters who staunchly defend it.
Through the sorcery of the Red Empress, a gathering of dark powers threatens the tranquil world of Aureum, and its inhabitant must find a way to protect it at all costs.
Halcyon was established in 2017 with the mission of creating a new genre in theatre known as theatrical acrobatics, which seamlessly integrates compelling storytelling and characters with world-class acrobatics and aerial. Aureum combines these elements with an incredible original soundtrack and high-flying technical elements that would only otherwise be possible in stadiums. With an award-winning cast and a rich narrative, Halcyon's shows are an unforgettable experience for every audience.
At 1 pm on April 4, the cast of Aureum invite you to participate in a Character Creation Workshop. Participants will get a close-up demonstration of the aerial acrobatics used in the show, then learn how to envision and inhabit a character through physicality and movement. All ages and ability levels are welcome. Participants' feet will stay firmly on the ground. Participation is free, but pre-registration is encouraged, as space is limited.
Tickets for Aureum are on sale at www.TheMendelCenter.com, through The Mendel Center Box Office at (269) 927-8700, option 1, and in person weekdays from 10 am to 6 pm at the box office located in the Grand Upton Hall lobby of The Mendel Center at Lake Michigan College, 2755 E. Napier Avenue, Benton Harbor, MI.
Tickets start at $26. Discounts are available for seniors, students and children, veterans, and groups of 10 or more.
This performance is sponsored by Hilton Garden Inn – Benton Harbor, and itis supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the Crane Group.

Dice (singular die or dice) are small, throwable objects with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions. They are used for generating random numbers, commonly as part of tabletop games, including dice games, board games, role-playing games, and games of chance.
A traditional die is a cube with each of its six faces marked with a different number of dots (pips) from one to six. When thrown or rolled, the die comes to rest showing a random integer from one to six on its upper surface, with each value being equally likely. Dice may also have polyhedral or irregular shapes, may have faces marked with numerals or symbols instead of pips and may have their numbers carved out from the material of the dice instead of marked on it. Loaded dice are designed to favor some results over others for cheating or entertainment.

Some of the excitement entering the 2014 season for the Buffalo Bills has been dampened today due to reports stating that hard-hitting linebacker Kiko Alonso tore his ACL during a workout in Oregon on Tuesday.
The injury to the second-year rising star from Oregon opens up a glaring hole at his position and you have to fear for his health going forward. Kiko Alonso will miss the entire 2014 season Alonso was already recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum and now must wait until 2015 to get back on the field.
In signing Mike Williams and Bryce Brown and drafting Sammy Watkins, the Bills offense looks to be exciting next season, but the defense could be in trouble without its leader.
If you're Buffalo, you are hoping that backup Nigel Bradham (29 tackles in 2013) or rookie Randell Johnson can step up and make plays in Alonso's absence, otherwise it could be another long year in Orchard Park.


A burn is an injury to the skin caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation or friction. Most burns are only superficial in nature, affecting the epidermal or outer layer of the skin. Burns extending into the deeper tissues of a burn victim's body, such as the muscles, bone and blood vessels are classified as second degree burns, third degree burns or fourth degree burns.
It is critical for burn victims to seek immediate medical treatment as these painful injuries can result in disability, disfigurement, permanent scarring, amputation of an affected limb and, in severe cases, death. Complications such as shock, infection, multiple organ failure and respiratory distress may result from a burn injury and, thus all burns should be treated quickly and properly managed.
Tampa Attorney Frank F. Fernandez, III, recovers $250,000 policy limits for 59-year-old burn victim who suffered a second degree burn and permanent facial scarring during an elective, "minimally-invasive," cosmetic laser procedure. At the time of the burn injury, the Tampa eye doctor against whom the lawsuit was filed, did not supervise the treatment provided by his non-qualified technician who had no medical or nursing training and little experience in cosmetic laser surgery.
Regardless of whether your burn injury is a second, third or fourth degree burn, our dedicated team of Tampa burn injury attorneys are here to answer all your burn injury related questions and provide you with legal assistance, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Is It Safe To Transplant Daffodils Now?
I have noticed several patches of pretty white daffodils growing randomly throughout our property. The blooms are a bit smaller than yellow daffodils and I believe I have seen them listed in bulb magazines as "Paper Whites". I would love to transplant some of these to my front yard around my porch. Is it safe to do that now or do I need to wait until they stop blooming?
I transplanted a few for my grandma last year around this time, they were still blooming, but I had a lot of gardening work to get done in her garden so I moved them anyway. The blooms got weak and died, but the plants came up nice and strong this year and bloomed just fine.
First lets get one thing out of the way. the bulbs you mentioned are not Paperwhites Unlike their daffodil relatives, paperwhites won't tolerate freezing temperatures, but they can be planted outdoors where winters are mild. Plant them in the fall as you would other spring-flowering bulbs. They look especially attractive in groups planted in containers or the garden. But you are from Kentucky, so perhaps your winters are mild. Mine are not.
There are tons of "outdoor" daffs out there. Hey, just ask me: I have 100,000 bulbs on my property. Some are sweet little white things, some huge bright orange, some small orange cuties. etc. And frankly, most of the names I have forgotten.
But in any event, yes you can transfer when in bloom, or as they say when the green is still on. Not sure why you will do that, but just wait for the bloom to be done then to transfer, because they will flop when you transfer them and you will loose that nice look. When we split, we wait till the bloom is done, just to enjoy the stand up it gives us. And do not forget to dead head your daffs after flowering so the seed head does not take the energy from the bulb.

Most websites and blogs use something called RSS feeds to push updates to you. RSS feeds are often convenient because you don't have to go to the website or blog to read them. Instead, new stories are pushed to you—this is akin to the difference between going to a store to buy a magazine versus subscribing to it so that it's delivered to you.
The ultimate in ease of use is reading the RSS feeds on an iPhone or other mobile phone because of the portability of a phone. At the end of this short process, you'll have a collection of RSS feeds that you manage from your computer and then read on your phone.

ONE FOR SORROW by Mary Reed & Eric Mayer
Poisoned Pen Press - 1999
ISBN: 1890208191 – Hardback
Reviewed by Rachel Hyde, MyShelf.Com

It is always pleasant when somebody writes a novel about a relatively untapped period of history and stories set during the reign of Justinian and Theodora are thin on the ground. This then is the welcome return of John The Eunuch, Lord Chamberlain to the Emperor who has hitherto only been glimpsed in short story form in Robinson's excellent Mammoth series whodunit compendiums. As the novel opens he is sitting in the Hippodrome watching the May Games when a trio of Cretan bull leapers surge into the arena. Surely one is his former lover from the days before he became a eunuch? More shocks follow in the form of the dead body of his colleague and an emissary from King Arthur's court who is looking for the Holy Grail and a mysterious soothsayer, thought to be the legendary Wandering Jew. Now read on!
Here is 6th century Byzantium in all its muck and glory, a place where beggars rub shoulders with courtiers and nobody is safe. Old religions exist alongside the official Christianity and the ancient world is giving way to the Middle Ages. There is much to admire here – the tortuous plot, tangible descriptions of the glare and glitter of this fantastic place and the highly likeable John himself. One thing I particularly admired was the writers' method of telling the story from the viewpoint of a non-Christian (John is a follower of Mithra) and so therefore we see our familiar religion through the eyes of somebody to whom it all seems incomprehensible and rather undesirable. All in all it is like looking at a sumptuous mosaic and the pace never flags. I for one found it very enjoyable and look forward to the sequel Two For Joy which is out later this year.

In 'Bunk,' Kevin Young explores uniquely American, uniquely racist hoaxes
By Kathleen Rooney
"Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News" by Kevin Young (Graywolf)
Most people probably know that the word "bunk" is short for "bunkum," meaning insincere talk, claptrap or humbug. Fewer people are likely familiar with the word's etymology, coined out of racial unrest in 1820 in relation to the Missouri Compromise, which admitted Missouri as a slave state. That year, on the floor of the 16th Congress, even though an immediate vote had been called, North Carolina Rep. Felix Walker insisted on filibustering in favor of Missouri's slave state status in the name of Buncombe, his home county.
If there's bunk around, then it probably needs debunking, and Kevin Young does the job admirably in "Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News." Drawing on incidents and etymologies such as the one above, he anatomizes the lengthy American and international history of entertaining deceptions — from P.T. Barnum to Rachel Dolezal, from Edgar Allan Poe to Nasdijj, from the Hitler Diaries to Jerzy Kosinski — and does so in a way that reveals and critiques the racist underpinnings of many such notorious fabrications.
Young acknowledges various European hoaxes while raising the central question: "Is there something especially American about the hoax?" Exploring the answers, he continually returns to the multifarious ways in which "an eighteenth-century Counter-Enlightenment, with its mistrust of science and history of hoaxes, could actually join with the Enlightenment and its love of systems to spawn the pseudosciences of the nineteenth century — particularly those that sought to create not just taxonomies but hierarchies between the races."
Young — the author of 11 collections of poetry, as well as the nonfiction book "The Grey Album: On the Blackness of Blackness" — serves as the poetry editor of The New Yorker and the director of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. His copious research, his talents in literary analysis and his associative skills as a poet are on acrobatic display as he argues convincingly that the hoax is all too often an underrecognized mechanism for maintaining white — and to a concurrent extent, male — supremacy.
He writes, for instance, about Joice Heth, the black woman that P.T. Barnum exploited for an act in 1835 in which "she pretended to be George Washington's nursemaid, which would have made her 161 years old," and points out later how, "Simultaneously celebrated and denigrated, often through the very body she supposedly nurtured and wet-nursed with, Heth stands as one of a long line of black women forced to prove their womanity."
Throughout, Young makes elucidating comparisons across the ages, such as how the "penny press," which fanned the flames of hucksterism in the 1800s, finds its parallel in the internet today insofar as "it too implements chaos as a going concern." Or how the fraudulent "girl wonder" Opal Whiteley — who self-published "The Fairyland Around Us" at 22 and "dressed as an obligatory 'Indian' " in the 1920s — has her parallel in the plagiarism case of novelist Kaavya Viswanathan in the early 2000s.
Admittedly, hoaxes are a shaggy subject, yet one wishes that Young's book were a bit more trim, as he turns and returns to subjects across chapters in a nonlinear and at times perplexing and repetitive fashion. As a result, brilliant as its parts are, Young's book as a whole comes off as less of a spotlight illuminating its dim-by-design subject in a cohesive glow and more of a sparser set of Christmas lights — bright spots placed along a strand with perhaps a bit too much murkiness in between for the pattern to come through as clearly as might be desirable.
Nevertheless, his profound assertion that "the hoax changes history and also the future" shines through; he writes: "It's the worst kind of twofer: the hoax is ultimately a matter of life and death."
Young's groundbreaking study of spectacles and spectacular falsehoods reaches its audience roughly one year after the election of Donald Trump. Obviously, Young was hard at work on this book well before it became clear that a man who routinely denigrates minorities and women and blithely dismisses inconvenient aspects of reality would hold the highest office in the United States.
Although the book doesn't center on the Trump presidency, Young does analyze how significant portions of Melania Trump's 2016 Republican National Convention speech were stolen from Michelle Obama's 2008 speech at the Democratic National Convention, and how Mrs. Trump's status as an immigrant from Slovenia was "championed in a way the candidate would explicitly deny Muslims and Mexicans."

One of my clients asked that question in frustration recently. He had identified a concept that had revenue-generating, scalable potential, but his excitement wasn't matched by his team.
They pointed out the reasons why his idea wouldn't work: the company would need a new hire; the idea would change current workflow and processes. My client's enthusiasm deflated like an after-party balloon.
As the business leader, you are responsible for setting you company's vision. It's also up to you to help your team to act on big ideas.
Here are three ways to get an efficiency-focused team on board.
When your team responds to a big idea with objections, pivot the discussion.
When your operations-minded team reverts to identifying obstacles, refocus them on how to work with company strengths and around the challenges.
Words matter. Like shifting the discussion from "why" to "how," speaking in terms of "could" has a powerful impact.
Within 30 minutes, the team had identified initial steps, timeframes and ownership for specific action steps.
The enthusiasm and good intentions of the initial discussion can dissipate when action steps don't get completed. Often, the reason is that too many undefined predecessor tasks are embedded in the activity.
For example, an action step such as "develop a pricing model" might be too big to accomplish before the next team conversation. An embedded predecessor task such as, "outline our current pricing by product and customer segment" is doable and can lead to discussions that leverage the collective expertise on the team.
The willingness to focus on big ideas is one of the most essential attributes that you can develop in your team – and one of the greatest assets of your business.

Epcot Forever – Epcot – Attraction Checklist #94
http://traffic.libsyn.com/attractionchecklist/AC_94.mp3
http://www.attractionchecklist.com – This episode John and I take in the Epcot's new Nighttime Spectacular – Epcot Forever! Filled with nostalgia, will this get a high rating? Tune in and find out! Recorded on January 13, 2020.
Welcome to Attraction Checklist.
Let's head to Walt Disney World's Epcot tp see the new, temporary, Nighttime Spectacular Epcot Forever. The guide map describes the show by saying, "Journey through the past, present and future of Epcot at this fireworks spectacular.' Since this is a show there are no height requirements for it and FastPass+ is available.
1. In September 2018, it was announced that Illuminations: Reflections of Earth would be having its final run at Epcot before a new show debuts in 2020. It was also announced that a temporary nighttime spectacular called Epcot Forever would bridge the gap between Illuminations and the new show. Illuminations Reflections of Earth, which we covered on episode 83 of Attraction Checklist, closed forever on September 20, 2019. Epcot Forever debuted the very next night, on Epcot's anniversary, October 1, 2019.
2. Epcot Forever features all new arrangements of classic Epcot songs by conductor and composer Don Harper.
3. The score for Epcot Forever which includes classic songs like 'One Little Spark', "Living With The Land" and "Veggie Veggie, Fruit Fruit' was recorded by a full orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
4. Epcot Forever features fireworks, lasers and lights, just as Illuminations did but also adds in what Disney calls 'special effects' kites. Large kites with light up tails that are pulled through the air by jet skis on the World Showcase Lagoon.
5. Epcot Forever is scheduled to have its final performance sometime in 2020.
Let's go experience Epcot Forever. With me this time is John B. deHaas and after the show we'll give you our thoughts on it. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we head to Walt Disney World to see Epcot Forever at Epcot!

This sits in the middle of a "swamp" for lack of a better word. It seems this lady was an avid angler and died of a heart attack at this spot nearly 9 years ago. Every spring, someone in the family comes up, reposts the same image and spruced things up a bit.
Significant and poignant! A substantial effort and an indication of the influence of the person.

Interview by Nick Bleeker and Chere Griffin
David Ghatan © G. Ryan Smith, CM Kling + Associates
As President of the International Association of Lighting Designers, David Ghatan sees the role of professionals as being translators between designers, architects and engineers. In his professional practice, he is known for crafting emotive narratives through light.
What led to your career in lighting design?
As a child, I wanted to be an architect, and spent hours building cities with my toys. Changing, building and conceiving things really drove me, and this continued as I became involved in theater. There, I was fascinated with the interaction of the human experience, which in many ways could be very ethereal and disconnected. I was involved in theatre at George Washington University, where part of the scope was to oversee the lighting and make sure it was prepped. I loved it; breaking it down to a concept, a design development and then implementation. I was fortunate that Candace Kling offered me an internship at her firm; I continued designing there through college.
How do you tell a story through light?
For hotel properties, and especially resorts, we tell a narrative of escape and fantasy, which has to be comfortable and spectacular at the same time. For example, when we develop a dimming scene for a restaurant or a hotel lobby, it's not a quick fade at sunset. It's balancing what the lighting is doing and fading over a half-hour period to be unnoticeable to the guest. You design light so it's smooth and seamless. Honestly, it was easy when things were two wires and a dumb filament. Things dimmed predictably; they were wired predictably. As our profession depends more on digital technology, we've learned a lot about how dimmers react, how new light sources perform in their lowest dim level or, from an optical perspective, how stark or tight a beam is versus a diffused beam.
Why is it important for you to be involved in lighting design associations?
Associations nurture a community. That community provides education, camaraderie and advancement in the field. This includes the scope of services we, as lighting designers, offer, developing a strong voice as a group when it comes to regulations, and learning from colleagues. We are growing up as an industry and part of that growth is self-reflection and taking ownership for our professional services from documentation to project responsibilities. We need to push for early involvement in the design planning stages, so that we can properly execute projects, influence daylighting conversations, and truly integrate lighting with the overall design process. finish decisions, or building orientation.

As it clear from title, this lust contains currency rates, which allow to recalculate amounts between different currencies. All rates are based in the base currency, specified in Settings. For example, if you use USD as base currency, than currency rate for EUR should allow to get amount in EUR by multiplying amount in EUR and currency rate.
For example, 100 EUR corresponds to 113.65 USD on 06-jun-2016. This means that currency rate should be 1.1365. So, 100 x 1.1365 = 113.65.
Here you can select from a number of currency rates providers (OpenExchange, Central European Bank, Central bank of Russia, HM Revenue and Customs, Bank of Croatia). When you open the downloader from a data entry form, Date field will be populated with a date of a currently edited document, and corresponding currency will be selected in the Currency list. Adjust date, select exchange rates source select necessary currencies (using checkboxes), and then click OK. A new rate will be added to the Currency rates table. If currency rates downloader was opened from a data entry for, downloaded rate will be automatically applied in the corresponding document.
In the program Settings you may setup automatic currency rates downloading. Check corresponding article for additional details.
Any Currency rate field which you will find in many editing forms in BaccS contains a button to open currency rates downloader. If you provide currency rate manually in such field, it won't be added to the currency rates list. If you use currency rates downloader, the downloaded rate will be added to the currency rates list and immediately applied to the field you're currently editing.

Miracle at 88 Lothian Road!
This Week at Filmhouse
20 December 2017 – Article Author Filmhouse
We're continuing with our festive favourites in the run up to Christmas, with Frank Capra's tear-jerker classic It's a Wonderful Life, which reviews the life of small-town resident George Bailey, and a comedic take on the classic tale by Charles Dickens with The Muppets Christmas Carol. We're also screening Ernst Lubitsch's 1940 romantic comedy The Shop Around the Corner, in which two employees at a gift shop who can barely stand each other become anonymous pen pals without realising, and The Bishop's Wife, which features an angel in human form (Cary Grant) who enters the life of a bishop in order to help him build a new cathedral and repair his fractured marriage. To top it all off, we're bringing you Miracle on 34th Street, a true classic Christmas tale about believing in magic and the power of hope.
If cheery, heart-warming Christmas classics aren't really your thing, we've got Dark Xmas for you, a collection of unusual and exciting films from EIFF. The final film of this selection is Bob Clark's influential spine-chiller Black Christmas, undoubtedly the most famous and effective of all festive horror movies. Although remade in 2006, nothing can hold a flickering candle to the terrifying original.
New to our screens this week we have Song of Granite, a soulful biopic from acclaimed filmmaker Pat Collins about the life of Irish sean nós singer Joe Heaney. Also beginning on Friday is Jane, the story of legendary primatologist Jane Goodall, created from 140 hours of extraordinary unseen 16mm footage shot by Hugo van Lawick. Featuring new interviews with Goodall, this is an unprecedented portrait of a trailblazer who changed how we saw the natural world. Finally, we'll be showing Mountain, a visually stunning cinematic ode to mountain peaks narrated by Willem Dafoe and accompanied by the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
Don't miss David Lean's spectacular and lushly romantic epic Doctor Zhivago, which is screening as part of The First World War in Cinema, a five year project programmed in association with the University of Edinburgh. And don't worry - there will be an interval in between! We're also treating you to Blade Runner: The Final Cut - Ridley Scott's definitive version of his sci-fi masterpiece, as well as the long-awaited sequel Blade Runner 2049. Also screening is a re-release of the classic Hitchcock adventure tale North By Northwest, starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason and featuring a thrilling score by Bernard Herrmann.
10 from 17
We've been looking back on the last 12 months of cinema and bringing you handpicked selection of 2017's best films, chosen by Rod White, Head of Programming at Filmhouse. We're kicking things off with Luca Guadagnino's sun-dappled and sensual Call Me By Your Name, followed by Asghar Farhadi's most recent film The Salesman, which follows the reasonably well-trodden path of the mildly nasty incident that takes on far greater significance via, in this case, the male half of a marriage's response to it. To see what else we've chosen as our 2017 favourites, click here.

Brazil dancing again after big win at World Cup
Dec 5, 2022, 2:59 PM | Updated: Dec 6, 2022, 5:02 am
Brazil's Neymar, from right, celebrates with team mates Lucas Paqueta, Raphinha and Vinicius Junior after scoring his side's second goal during the World Cup round of 16 soccer match between Brazil and South Korea, at the Stadium 974 in Doha, Qatar, Monday, Dec. 5, 2022. (AP Photo/Manu Fernandez)
(AP Photo/Manu Fernandez)
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — The joy — and the dancing — are back for five-time champion Brazil at the World Cup.
The big win over South Korea on Monday secured Brazil a berth in the quarterfinals in Qatar. It also restored the team's confidence after a tumultuous start to the tournament in which the Seleçao lost Neymar to injury and saw its unbeaten group-stage streak end in a defeat to Cameroon.
But Neymar retuned in style, looking fully fit and scoring a goal in Brazil's 4-1 win at Stadium 974. Vinícius Júnior, Richarlison and Lucas Paquetá also scored, and after each goal the Brazilians broke out dance moves.
They had promised different celebrations for each goal in Qatar, and were at last able to use many of them, after a group-stage in which Brazil scored only three times. It lost 1-0 to Cameroon in its last group game.
Even coach Tite got in on the act, joining Richarlison for his trademark "pigeon" celebration.
The coach and the players got into a circle and put their hands on their hips and started moving their heads back and forth to imitate a pigeon, which is Richarlison's nickname.
After the match, Richarlison showed his dance to former Brazil star Ronaldo, teaching him the moves.
The Brazil players had already danced after Vinícius Júnior's first goal, when he, Neymar, Raphinha and Lucas Paquetá did a few moves together. It was similar after each goal.
All the dancing got some criticism from former Ireland player and commentator Roy Keane, who said the Brazilian players were "disrespecting the opposition," especially with the manager getting involved.
Tite defended his players.
"It just means being happy because of the goal, the performance, the win…" he said. "It's not about being disrespectful with the opponent."
Tite had joked with Richarlison before the match that if the player scored, he would dance with him to celebrate.
He said the victory was important to restore the team's morale after the loss to Cameroon, and that having Neymar back was crucial for the squad's confidence.
"The team improved, there's nothing more I could ask from them," he said. "Neymar is our leader, the team knows that he is there and that he makes the difference. He makes the other players better."
Neymar missed two matches because of a right ankle injury sustained in the team's opening 2-0 win against Serbia. Brazil then defeated Switzerland 1-0 before falling to Cameroon in what was its first group-stage loss after 17 games, a streak that had dated to 1998.
Brazil, seeking its first World Cup title in two decades, will face 2018 runner-up Croatia in the quarterfinals on Friday. Brazil has made it to the quarterfinals in eighth straight World Cups.

Do your books whisper secrets?
I've been volunteering at my town's public library this summer. It's been a great experience and it's given me a lot of insight into the workings of one of my favorite places (basically it involves moving books around to different locations for different reasons). One of the most interesting things is seeing what books people are checking out and requesting.
You can learn a lot about people from their books. Whether they have children. What their interests are. For example, one person requested three or four books on United States war history. Another, books on dealing with divorce. Another, a collection of picture books. I wouldn't recognize these people on the street. All I know is their books and the first few letters of their last name. Still, this little window into their world through the medium of books feels powerful.
I also shelve books when they come back in. Sometimes I recognize them. I'll see a book I placed on hold for someone a couple days ago, and I know the person didn't like it. Either that, or they loved it so much they read it all in a day or two. I can't know for sure, but I can imagine.
Some books are checked out again and again. Romances are particularly popular. Others are never checked out. When a book hasn't been borrowed in several years, the library collects them, and sells them in a book sale. People don't care about nuclear reactors.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that books are powerful, and when one works closely with them, they whisper secrets about the workings of society and the lives of those who read them.
You could learn a lot about me from the books I read. Animal Farm, Ender's Game, Harry Potter, Watership Down, the Hunger Games, Anthem, The Andromeda Strain, The Cosmic Landscape, A Brief History of Time, An Introduction to Visual Basic Programming, the Inheritance Cycle, Brave New World, Into the Wild.
Do you see some themes? Physics, Dystopian Futures, Fantasy. Sure, there are some outliers. But I'm a person. I'm complicated. Still, the books I read provide an insight into my mind. What about you? Do your books whisper secrets?
Thank you for putting my guest post on Writers and Authors. I love this blog and its great to be a part of it.
It's a pleasure to have you here Jake. I really enjoyed your post and totally agree with you. All the best with your writing projects.


SPECIAL REPORT: The world's biggest asset manager, BlackRock, now aims to be a global leader in sustainable investing.
"We are only at the early stages," he said, estimating that the investment in ETFs (exchange traded funds) with a sustainability focus would rise from a current $US25 billion to over $US400 billion within a decade.
The numbers look big, but the money in sustainability is only a fraction of the global investment universe.
The $US25 billion worth of sustainable ETFs is miniscule against the $US5 trillion in all ETFs. And the $US7 billion that BlackRock manages in sustainable ETFs, whilst about 25 per cent of the current market, is a fraction of the $US1.75 trillion in all BlackRock's ETFs.
The campaign calls on BlackRock to sell out from fossil fuel companies that will not change their ways; to create fossil fuel and deforestation free funds; to push companies to align with the Paris climate agreement; and to pressure those companies in which BlackRock has an investment but which are dragging behind on sustainability.
BlackRock answers the challenge in three ways.
In October BlackRock launched a number of ETFs to help investors build "broad, diversified sustainable portfolios".
BlackRock also released ESG analytics and carbon intensity measures for the new funds. By early next year those metrics are expected be applied to all BlackRock's iShares ETFs.
The group also manages about $US50 billion in sustainable strategies and another $US450 billion in funds where investors have chosen to exclude products like tobacco or weapons.
Australian institutions can invest in BlackRock's ESG screened global equities index fund and a screened emerging market equities index fun. Some Australian institutions also buy into BlackRocks ETFs overseas.
Fink says sustainable investing does not involve a trade off between a higher ethical or sustainable outcome and a lesser financial result.
"We are going to see evidence over the long term that sustainable investing is going to be at least equivalent to core investments. I believe personally it will be higher," he told the FT.
Blackrock defines sustainable investments as those with a positive social or environmental impact as well as good financial results.
In some cases that involves screening out companies in sectors like fossil fuels or tobacco. In other cases, the investments are in low carbon use or renewable energy.
A director of BlackRock's sustainable investing team, Jessica Huang, says the way companies are changing their emissions, and the rate of change, is just as important as the absolute level of emissions.
"Its not just about good companies or bad companies," she says, speaking by video link from San Francisco last week.
"Companies may screen poorly on some metrics but better on others. And those poorer ratings can be addressed through the stewardship process.
"Carbon emissions are a proxy for efficiency. Companies are doing more with less.
One of the priorities of BlackRock's stewardship program is ESG disclosure.
"We want to see climate competent boards and we want to see diverse boards," Huang says.
Huang says much of the work underway involves measurement, particularly the publicly available measures, which are the ones with which BlackRock has to work.
"The current alphabet soup of competing standards and initiatives can be confusing," she said.
Ms Huang and her team are working to create sustainability metrics with MSCI, the global provider of equity, fixed income and other stock market and asset portfolio tools.
The group also works with Sustainalytics, an Amsterdam-based global provider of ESG and corporate governance research and ratings to investors, and with ISS-Ethix, which is subsidiary of global proxy advisory firm, Institutional Shareholder Services and provides sustainable metrics.
And the group stays ahead of issues with RepRisk, a Zurich based company that trawls the web to find environmental and social issues that could become financial or reputational risks to a company or investment portfolio.
So can BlackRock pick the sustainability successes of the next decade?
"We see the macro trends; regulation, climate change, demographic shifts, technological advancement. But it is difficult for us to say which companies will not be around in 10 years time," Ms Huang says.

Build Status: [![build status](https://ci.browserlife.de/projects/1/status.png?ref=master)](https://ci.browserlife.de/projects/1?ref=master)

This modules makes it possible to use the new ReCaptcha [LINK](https://www.google.com/recaptcha) in your ZendFramework2 (ZF2) projects.

I created this module, since [ZendFrameworkService\ReCaptcha](https://github.com/zendframework/ZendService_ReCaptcha) seems to be dead and is still on RCv1.
## Installation
### with composer
Just add the following line to your requirements:
```json
"browserlife/zf2-recaptcha": "dev-master"
```
and run
```bash
php composer.phar update
```

Since there are problems with the SSL-Cert if you use Adapter\Socket, please install php-curl!

Then activate the module in your application.config.php :

    ```php
    return array(
        'modules' => array(
            // ...
            'BrlReCaptcha',
        ),
        // ...
    );
    ```

## Get your private-key
To use this service, you have to register at [Google ReCaptcha](https://www.google.com/recaptcha) using your Google-Account.

## Usage
### with Zend\From
This module works similar as [ZendFrameworkService\ReCaptcha](https://github.com/zendframework/ZendService_ReCaptcha).

Just add the following lines to your form creation:
```
$element = new \Zend\Captcha\Captcha('g-recaptcha-response');
$element->setCaptcha(new BrlReCaptcha\ReCaptcha(array('private_key' => 'YOUR_SECRET FROM GOOGLE', 'public_key' => 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY', 'theme' => 'dark')));
$form->add($element);

```
Important: The element has to be named g-recaptcha-response due to the reason that the JS from google creates this virtual input.

Remember to add this element to your validationChain as well.

Note: The theme parameter is not required. By default the light theme is used.

It acts the same way as any other built-in captcha solution.

### with ServiceManager
If you like to implement the view on your own, just use the Service\ReCaptchaService. It handles the whole communication between your code and the ReCaptcha API.

```
$recaptcha = $serviceLocator->get('BrlRecaptcha\Service\ReCaptcha');

```

### other

just look into the sources! It's pretty easy to understand.

## TODO
* PHPUnit Tests are missing -> Will do this in the next couple of days
* some error handling is qnd
* better documentation

## Questions?
If you have any problems or questions regarding my code, please create an issue.
Since i'm using this module for my own projects i'm interested in keeping this up to date!
