Q: Reversing a string on C I'm new in in code and I'm doing K&R for C coding, but I have some simple questions that are complicating me, I know it can be a very stupid question but again, I'm new and if you can explain me in a way that a noob would understand I will appreciate it.
Just want to store "4321" in srev[] but it just doesn't print anything, I know there is other ways to reverse a string but I would like to know why this one doesn't work, thanks.
#include <stdio.h>

#define MAXL 1000

char s[MAXL] = "1234";
char srev[MAXL];

main(){

    int i =0;
    for(i=0; 4>=i; ++i){
        srev[i] = s[4-i];
    }

    printf("srev[]: %s", srev);
}

A: To expand upon the comment by Dunno:  the string "1234"in C is five bytes long. The fifth byte s[4] is a zero byte denoting string termination.
Your code copies that zero byte to srev[0], so now you have a C string that terminates before it has even begun.
Use i<4 in your for loop (and adjust the arithmetic to 3-i accordingly) so that you only swap the non-zero bytes. Then set srev[4] = '\0'; explicitly to terminate the new string in the correct place.

A: In your for loop the last thing you do is put s[4] into srev[0]. The that element (the fifth because arrays are zero indexed) is the strings null terminator. That means that the first thing in srev tells printf to stop printing.
Change your loop to this:
for(i=0; 3>=i; ++i){
    srev[i] = s[3-i];
}

or:
for(i=0; 4 > i; ++i){
    srev[i] = s[3-i];
}

A: becuase s[4] = '\0' which means end of character string. if you assign null terminator to a string it means you tell it: "it's the end, accept no more characters":
#include <stdio.h>

#define MAXL 1000

char s[MAXL] = "1234";
char srev[MAXL];

main(){

    int i = 0;
    for(i=0; 4 > i; ++i){
        srev[i] = s[3-i];  // 3 - 0 = 3 so s[3] = '4' s4 = '\0'
    }

    printf("srev[]: %s", srev);
    printf("\n\n");
}

There was the standard BLOB inbounds play that gets him a shot in the corner. No defender was on him but on his shot, he kicked one leg out to the side and looked like he was shooting with his body at an angle. It was not necessary. The shot didn't go in either. His main shot is from the corner. Looked like he took more from up top or the wings.
He needs to be able to do more than hit 3s or score in transition. People have been saying this for 2+ years now but it is very hit and more so miss. But the loss of Robinson has been really felt by Hill and Outlaw. They get fewer looks because NAW is looking to drive from the top alot and Bede slows the ball movement down. Blackshear will find people.
The other missing part of our offense that is going un-mentioned...Horne was probably good for 2-3 baskets a game. His average might not say it but he was pretty good for a couple of scores off of offensive rebounds or baseline stuff.


Many students wonder if it makes sense to take the December LSAT. Students with high GPAs nonetheless expertise problems if they don't have a high enough LSAT score. For example, in you resolve to go to Harvard Regulation College; your competitors will likely be fierce as a result of the general public making use of will have four.zero GPA's.
So, you'll be able to see that Harvard Law Faculty may be able to affect a far better variety of government companies in fascinating methods, if extra of their college students go into the government or non-revenue sector. Getting accepted to any of those movie schools is much harder than getting an admit to Harvard Law School, for the straightforward purpose that Harvard has a better share of student vacancies than the Massive 5 film faculties do.
Doing so will enable you improve your score or attain a high score, and it will definitely help in moving into Harvard Law School. More broadly, regulation college students can tap into Harvard University's extraordinary resources through joint diploma packages, cross-registration, and a wide range of social and cultural venues.
Harvard's LL.M. college students include attorneys working in firms, authorities officials, regulation professors, judges, diplomats, human rights activists, doctoral college students, enterprise men and women, and others. Many who marvel how one can get into Harvard Legislation Faculty neglect the first purpose when applying to law school: make the most of rolling admissions.
eight. Additional-Curricular Activities were Selectively Chosen – These college students instructed me they did not waste their time with activities that took up quite a lot of time with out district, state, national or international recognition- except they were the focus of their studies.

Although a diverse arsenal of antimicrobial drugs has been developed, bacterial and fungal infections remain prevalent worldwide. The formation of multicellular communities of microbes, called biofilms, is a common feature of these diseases that contributes to their endurance. Cells in biofilms are held together by an extracellular matrix and differ from those grown in liquid cultures with respect to their metabolism and sensitivity to antimicrobial drugs. Our long-term goal is to define the integrated, redox-based regulatory networks and metabolisms that support survival of bacteria in biofilms, with a focus on the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We hypothesize that the changing redox states of cells in developing biofilms affect multicellular behavior, virulence, and susceptibility to antibiotics. A standardized colony biofilm morphology assay facilitates our investigation of mechanisms that underpin biofilm-specific metabolism and feature formation. We will use basic molecular approaches combined with newly developed and innovative techniques, including electrochemical and microscopic analysis of biofilms at the micron scale, to address fundamental questions regarding the use of redox-active substrates for metabolism and the global regulation of biofilm matrix in response to redox cues: (1) How does P. aeruginosa balance its cellular redox state in the oxygen- limited regions of biofilms? (2) How does redox control of cellular signaling determine overall community morphology and cellular arrangement within the biofilm? (3) How does the use of pyruvate and lactate, important energy sources and metabolic intermediates, contribute to survival in biofilms and metabolism during host infection? As P. aeruginosa is a major cause of infections in hospitals and in patients with cystic fibrosis, we are motivated by the potential for these mechanisms to serve as therapeutic targets.
The formation of biofilms, communities of cells that are held together by a matrix, is a common feature of bacterial infections that enhances their resistance to treatments. We study the mechanisms that (1) allow biofilms to sense and respond to environmental conditions and (2) support cellular energy generation and growth in biofilms. This work will uncover potential targets for treatment and may reveal basic aspects of biofilm physiology that are relevant for many types of bacteria.

Through facelift surgery, Dr Carmen Munteanu in Melbourne can reverse unwanted signs of ageing by tightening the muscles and redefining the jawline. This procedure achieves a more rejuvenated and youthful facial appearance.
This procedure is tailored to suit each individual patient's desires and natural features. The techniques used are designed to contour the jawline and firm the facial tissue without leaving obvious signs of surgery. All incision lines will be made in areas which are disguised by natural creases or your hairline, and will fade as part of the healing process.
A classic facelift addressed all areas of the face at once, including the forehead and brows. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to this surgery though; different problems require different solutions. In some cases, you may only require a brow and forehead lift, or you may find blepharoplasty, which addresses the eyelids, could achieve the results you desire.
At Aesthetik Profile we also offer non-surgical treatments such as chemical peels which can be used in association with a facelift to further enhance the results.
Dr Carmen Munteanu devotes meticulous attention to this procedure to ensure a smooth and youthful result.
Find out more about the facelift procedure in the links below.
At your pre-operative consultation Dr Carmen will listen to your concerns and desired outcomes, and conduct an examination before advising you on options and her recommendations for your surgery. It is of utmost importance that you fully understand the procedure, the risks involved, and the expected results. A facelift is an invasive procedure which will result in swelling and bruising for a period of time, with results not clearly discernible for quite some time. The remodelling takes even longer, and scar maturation can take up to 12 months. While the scars will be permanent, Dr Carmen is able to minimise their visibility by ensuring they are located in inconspicuous places and natural creases.
If you are smoker, it is of utmost importance that you cease smoking at least six weeks prior to your facelift surgery. Smoking slows the flow of blood to the skin, and can increase the risk of problems with the healing process after your surgery.
Arthritis medications, anti-inflammatories, Asprin, and certain vitamins and herbal remedies can cause bleeding and will also need to be stopped at least 10 days prior to your facelift.
Prior to the commencement of your surgery you will be administered with either intravenous sedation or general anaesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr Carmen will recommend the best choice for your unique needs.
The incision for a traditional facelift begins in the hairline at the temple, continues around the ear, and ends in the lower scalp. Fat from the face, neck and jowls may be redistributed or sculpted, and underlying tissues repositioned. The deeper layers of the facial muscles are commonly lifted too. Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin will then be re-draped over the uplifted contours.
As an alternative, it is also possible to use shorter incisions in the temple which continue around the ear, and possibly also within the lower eyelids, or under the upper lip.
Loose neck skin, fat accumulating under the chin and sagging jowls can be addressed through a neck lift, the incision for which begins at the front of the ear lobes before wrapping behind the ear, and ending in the lower scalp.
Once the facelift has been completed, a bandage may be applied around your face to help minimise bruising and swelling. It may also be necessary to place thin tubes to help drain away any excess fluid or blood.
Following your surgery you will be given specific and personalised instructions for caring for the surgical site and drains, as well as medications to aid the healing process. You'll also be advised of any specific concerns to watch out for until your follow-up consultation.
It may take several months following a facelift for the swelling to fully dissipate, and the lines left by the incisions to mature.
Once the bruising and swelling begin to subside, the results of your surgery will begin to emerge.
While this procedure generally garners excellent results, in certain circumstances it may not be possible to achieve the optimal result in just one surgery, and a second surgery may be necessary.
To ensure the longevity of your new youthful appearance, it's best to maintain a healthy lifestyle and ensure you're using sun protection daily.


"In the IoT space lots of developers are losing out, wasting time, effort and money by not thoroughly considering end-user value or their sales channels." Arai opened the discussion by underlining how important it is for developers to seek out the right tools and resources to help them monetise their solution and optimise its longevity in the market.
For Arai IoT is best categorised into two sections; 'B2C' – providing value services to the consumer, and 'Industrial' which involves scale sectors such as manufacturing and smart cities. "Both sectors are concerned with saving costs, increasing yield, decreasing margins of error, saving energy, and ultimately gaining a steady revenue stream," Arai added.
Developers are also looking for support with securing their solutions, said Arai. "Essentially any existing internet or smart device security solution can be applied to IoT to achieve the same level of security," he explained. "The only difference with IoT security is perhaps the limited processing power and lack of resource on the device." Arai continued to highlight the urgency of finding ways to miniaturise security measures, such as data encryption, and apply them to small IoT devices.
He noted by comparison that although the U.S. has strict regulations too, such as the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), once you support a regulation you support the country's huge population. Whereas in Europe investing in similar regulatory infrastructure in each country becomes a really expensive feat and a partcularly difficult process for smaller startups.
A benefit of these regional particularities however, Arai suggested, is country specific expertise. He argued that developers should use this to their advantage: "Germany is building on its historical expertise in the automotive industry to develop smart IoT solutions […] Switzerland too has a long history of miniaturisation technologies and precise mechanics because of their skill in watchmaking." He explained that this unique advantage encouraged the Swiss government to invest $100mn in IoT development and wearable technology.


Unai Emery has yet to stamp his authority on his new Arsenal side following his summer appointment, according to former goalkeeper David Seaman. The Gunners have not won the title since 2004, while Woods won a tournament for the first time in five years on Sunday evening when he captured the Tour Championship.
Of course everyone expects that, that is clear". "No-one remembers that, it is really no problem". "We don't expect that". "That's why I think Liverpool have been better in Europe as opposed to the Premier League ". Salah committed an error during Tuesday's 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain when he gave away possession in the buildup to Kylian Mbappe's equalising goal.
Mourinho will be without suspended Marcus Rashford and Nemanja Matic against Wolves , who have lost just one of their first five matches to sit ninth in the table. "No injuries from the match", said Mourinho. Both teams go into tomorrow's Old Trafford clash with back-to-back Premier League victories. "We know that we have the bigger teams coming up and we're going to have to get the result we want, because we are playing in the Champions League and it's for top teams only".
The promotion was that the fridges were stocked with Bud Light and would be unlocked after Browns wins. One of the lasting images of the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2016 National Basketball Association title celebration and its aftermath was the sight of veteran guard J.R.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery is "disappointed" that his side conceded two late goals in their 4-2 win over Vorskla Poltava and admits that there is room for improvement. I think it's unlikely he'll start against Everton after picking up this knock but Torreira will hopefully be fit enough to line-up against Brentford in the League Cup next Wednesday.
That the conditions were taken off the seventh-round pick would seem to suggest that the Patriots insisted on removing that language, and the Browns gave in. After releasing the wide receiver on Monday, the Patriots signed Coleman to the practice squad on Thursday. Gordon should certainly be motivated to prove that he is still one of the best in the game, and he will now be playing on one of the best teams in the NFL .
Joe Gomez went close with a stooping header that only just cleared the crossbar from a corner on the quarter-hour mark, although PSG started to create chances of their own soon afterwards as Neymar went past Trent Alexander-Arnold and forced Alisson to parry his shot, with Edinson Cavani scuffing the rebound to the Brazilian keeper on 17 minutes.
The 33-year-old added to his three goals for Sporting Lisbon, 84 with Manchester United and 311 for Real Madrid in a total of 517 league matches. Ronaldo skipped Portugal's Nations League win over Italy to focus on his new club after failing to score in their opening three Serie A games.
His father revealed to ESPN at the time that there had been an approach from Barca and Lozano confirmed that on Monday. "I don't think PSV are one of the softest opponents; I think they're a good team that attacks well, plays together and has players that can unbalance you", he said.
Joseph was picked over several other kickers who came in for tryouts on Monday, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the signing. After having a game-winning try blocked in last week's 21-21 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Gonzalez missed four kicks for the Browns (0-1-1), including the go-ahead and tying attempts inside the final two minutes of play against the Saints (1-1).
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Patriots are sending the Browns a conditional 2019 fifth-round draft pick in exchange for Gordon . Now, back to the football part of this story: Gordon has shown himself to be a rare talent, leading the NFL in receiving in 2013 with 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns despite only appearing in 14 games.
Gianfranco Zola could be seen bowing to Chelsea's hat-trick hero, Eden Hazard, during the 4-1 win against Cardiff on Saturday afternoon. Hazard praised Giroud's ability to hold the ball and link play, saying: "He is a target man and maybe the best in the world".
Serena had received a warning, a point penalty, and a game penalty after an outburst that saw her call the umpire Carlos Ramos a thief . The entire exchange led to an awkward moment in Queens as fans boo'd non-stop after Osaka's historic win.
The 36-year-old brought up his latest astonishing milestone with a typically Zlatan-esque effort, performing a graceful pirouette before connecting with a lofted pass and slamming the ball into the net with a karate kick style volley. "I probably have more goals than the guys on the field have games together". Prior to signing with Los Angeles , Ibrahimovic had spent time with Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United .
To his credit, he played it all perfectly, especially Saturday's 12 rounds. The fight came after an acrimonious weigh-in during which Alvares nearly head-butted Golovkin, who is known affectionately through the boxing world as "Triple-G".
But now I change my mind because maybe he is the best", said Sarri". I think that this season is too soon for Chelsea , but I hope not. "Hazard can improve more". "If he wants to help us, I'm very, very happy", Sarri said . The feeling of being outclassed is one Cardiff may become accustomed to, having failed to significantly strengthen over the summer on their return to the top flight.
Kane has been a constant scourge of Liverpool , scoring five times in seven appearances against the Reds, including twice in a 4-1 thrashing at Wembley last season. "They won yesterday without Neymar and [Kylian] Mbappe so they could rest players in the league, but that's Tuesday". "In some periods they were better and showed more individual quality in moments and they created more chances because they were good".
Additionally, Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reports that Gordon showed up late to the facility on Saturday and was described as "not himself ", which the Browns believed was a sign of a potential relapse. Earlier Saturday, the Browns had downgraded Gordon from questionable to out for the Saints game, with a hamstring injury. He reunited with the club August 18.
The 31-year old defender, who is in his second spell with the London club, has bounced back and featured in all the four opening matches as Chelsea maintained their flawless start to the new season under the Italian. Sarri's single-minded focus means he has not yet explored London - Conte would often explore the restaurants and sights of the surrounding area with his family - but he said he has settled easily into his new environment.

Q: Why is contains ctble dense $A \subset X$ $\iff$ $\exists \{ x_n \}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ s.t. at least one $x_i$ in every non-empty open set of $X$? Why is contains countable dense $A \subset X$ $\iff$ $\exists \{ x_n \}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ s.t. at least one $x_i$ in every non-empty open set of $X$?
Because this is the def. given by wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separable_space

If $X$ is a topological space (not necessarily infinite), then how can it contain an infinite amount of $x_i$s? And how is it countable then (countably infinite? What does just countable mean anyways?)?

A: If $X$ is countable it is itself a dense subset, trivially. If $X$ is finite, it's considered separable, because it has a dense subset that is at most countable.
Or if you prefer the slightly non-standard Wikipedia sequential way, if $X = \{x_1, \ldots, x_N\}$ use the repeating sequence $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_N, x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_N, x_1 \ldots$ where each element is mentioned multiple times, which is perfectly allowed, as the definition of a sequence does not say that $n \neq m$ implies $x_n \neq x_m$.
Usually, though, a subset $D$ of $X$ is called dense iff $\overline{D} = X$ and $X$ is called separable iff it has a dense subset that is at most countable (so finite or size $\aleph_0$).

Jack Gray Releases 'Nights Like This' EP
Out Today via Warner Music Group
To Play Debut Solo NYC Showcase on June 3rd
"alt and adventurous" - Idolater
"charismatic" - Popdust
"an enthralling fusion of organic instrumentation and dynamic electronic synthesis" - Ones To Watch
(New York, NY): Jack Gray's new EP, 'Nights Like This,' is out today via Warner Music Group. The 5-song collection by the "unassuming pop star" (Alt Citizen) juxtaposes conflicting emotions, tackling weighty topics with subtle nuance and thoughtful reflection, while also capturing the beautiful highs and messy lows of the journey into adulthood.
Listen/share here: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Youtube
'Nights Like This' is a collection of songs written and recorded over the past two years that reflect Jack's remarkable growth as an artist and producer. The EP includes "Down Side of Up" a fast-paced sugar rush that clocks in at less than two-and-a-half frenetic minutes as it balances optimism and pessimism, while the slow-burning "Take Our Time" builds from a hushed piano ballad into a dreamy synth-scape filled exploring fantasy and reality through a tragic yet beautiful love story. "Drunk Talk," is an infectious slice of pop-rock and "Fools," a deep, moving tune that soars, premiered on popular Aussie radio station Triple J.
Jack is set to play his first solo showcase in New York at The Standard East Village on Monday, June 3rd, following the release of his debut EP. Earlier this year, Jack completed his first-ever run of North American dates opening for fellow Aussie Dean Lewis, someone who has always been a mentor and a friend. He also opened for pop darling Ella Vos at Brooklyn Steel and "quickly won the crowd over" with his "moving set" (Popdust). Jack will return home to Australia for a headlining multi-date tour in support of new music.

More on Jack Gray:
Blurring the lines between pop charisma, R&B swagger, and rock and roll propulsion, the collection showcases the young Australian's deft hand as both a writer and producer, one with a preternatural knack for infectious hooks and emotionally resonant arrangements. Gray sings with a seemingly effortless intimacy, his easygoing demeanor often belying the relentless work ethic and minute attention to detail that goes into each of his tracks. Calling to mind contemporaries from Jack Garratt and James Blake to Frank Ocean and The 1975, his productions show little regard for traditional distinctions between acoustic and electronic elements, frequently combining both into an ambitiously modern blend that feels instantly familiar and boldly adventurous all at once.
Jack Gray Tour Dates:
Monday, June 3rd - Standard East Village - New York, NY
Thursday, June 27th - The Gallery, Oxford Art Factory - Darlinghurst, NSW, Australia
Friday, June 28th - The Grace Darling Hotel - Collingwood, VIC, Australia
Saturday, June 29th - Greaser Bar - Brisbane, QLD, Australia

Global Game Jam 2016 : Ritual Reversal (WebGL browser game) 2D platformer. The character sprites may appear black. This is an issue with WebGL and the character sprite sheet. I'm going to try to fix it soon. The git repo for Ritual Reversal is here. I handled most of the programming and asset importing/organizing, but I still had a great time working with my team! They made a lot of awesome assets and I'm bummed we didn't have enough time to implement it all.

Albert Oriol Bosch, former President of AMEE (1990-1993) passed away in Barcelona (Spain) on 2th April at 84 years old. Albert Oriol was an important referent in Medical Education, at the national and international level and he made important contributions to AMEE.
Albert Oriol Bosch was President of AMEE during the period 1990-1993. The time of his presidency was a time of significant AMEE organisational changes that put the basis of AMEE growing during the next years. Albert Oriol was referent in Medical Education at the national and international level. In words of Charles Boelen, the oustanding contribution of Alberto to medical education and medical practice is due to his astute understanding of the imperative relationship between health systems and academic institutions. Achieving higher health outcomes and impact on people's well being has constantly guided his work, as a teacher, researcher or administrator, in his various institutional leadership capacities. He loved interacting and arguing while involved in concrete implementation projects but never lost sight of where it should ultimately lead to : better health for all.


The six types of entrepreneur misfits - which are you?
Many of us know the challenge of taking the road less travelled. For an entrepreneur, managing risk and ambiguity and challenging convention go with the vocation.
In my new book The Misfit Economy (co-authored with Kyra Maya Phillips) we put the spotlight on informal entrepreneurs who regularly challenge the system – pirates, hackers, gangsters, Amish camel milk farmers and others.
Far from being fringe actors, we've found surprising parallels between these misfit protagonists and mainstream entrepreneurs. Behind every great entrepreneur is a little bit of misfit DNA. So take a moment and ask yourself - what kind of misfit are you?
1. The Hacker – You have a thirst for information. You love to understand complex systems and you aren't afraid to tinker, to fix, to take things apart. Your loyalty to principles comes before your loyalty to any one organization or group of people. Examples – Edward Snowden, Julian Assange.
2. The Maverick – Incredibly opportunity-driven, risk comes naturally to you. If someone says something cannot be done, that adds fuel to your fire. Always exploring the next market opportunity, it can be hard for you to focus on the now. Your ideas are often ahead of their time. Examples – Richard Branson, Nikola Tesla.
3. The Bohemian – You are inspired by the unusual. Your creativity is more likely to come listening to electronic music in Berlin or from a mescaline-fuelled retreat in Mexico. You are primarily driven by the offbeat and eccentric. Your restless sense of wanderlust keeps you going. Examples – Ernest Hemingway, Andy Warhol.
4. The Copycat – Good ideas don't come from thin air. They build on the past. Never a believer in original ideas, you re-mix and mash-up the old to create something new. You believe more in the advantages of the copycat than the first mover. A natural observer and strategist, risk is something you calculate. Examples – Shanzhai IP pirates, the Samwer brothers.
5. The Dissident – Your mission in life is to wake people up. You poke and prod business as usual, never comfortable with convention. You like to shock and provoke. You have the courage to ignite conversations that many might be too fearful to initiate. Examples - Che Guevara, Martin Luther King.
6. The Craftsman – You were born for simpler times. You take pride in what you make and don't take shortcuts. Integrity is a core value. You aren't afraid of hard work and focus. You are meticulous. Examples – Amish farmers, Henry Thoreau, Martha Stewart.


Answer: Hi Geoff,I just posted a a video about AFCI breakers on to my how to blog. Take a quick look it should be very informative. I live in Philadelphia so I don't know mush about bars. I have wire some old carriage houses in the Queen Village and Chestnut hill. They did not have animals either but I don't think that is what you mean. Currently Arc Fault breaker are only required in bedrooms.

The 5 People In Hell I'd Love To Grab A Beer With
By Nevi Rooks, April 21st 2014
Sometimes I hear a news story so outrageous, it bothers me for hours. I saw headlines this week like "6 dead babies found in mothers basement" or "Barber Chased by Furious Naked Man After He Films Him Climbing All Over a Bus." By the way, I googled "crazy people news" and Gawker actually has a section dedicated to news with that exact title; respect. Anyway, I got to thinking, I'd love to sit down with these maniacs and just have a conversation with them about their thought process and motives. This led to me to think of the 5 craziest people that I'd like to kick it with at happy hour and have a completely open discussion with. Call me crazy, but craziness intrigues me.
5. Gehngis Khan
"The greatest happiness is to drive [your enemy] before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." Yeah, he actually said that. He also killed his brother at age 13 because he stole Genghis' fish. By the time he died of natural causes in 1227, he had killed up to 60 million people, or 30% of the world population. If he felt like having fun, oftentimes he would kill you by pouring molten metal in your eyes. If he agreed to happy hour with me, I wouldn't even know where to start. I'd skip the whole "so tell me about yourself" and dive straight into "really, A fish?" a man this powerful and this ruthless, I'd need a few weeks to just grasp the sociopathic state of mind that pillages cities as populated as Boston. Questions would include "who was your greatest victory? Did you ever feel the least amount of guilt? What went through your mind the hour before you died? If you could do it all again, what would you do differently? What values did your parents instill in you?"
4. John, King of England
I have to give this kid the benefit of the doubt, considering his father imprisoned his own mother when poor john was just 7. He was bred to be an asshole, which I can only understand being raised around new money. Basically, John took the reins of an empire that he had hoped to expand through military power in his early twenties. His royal funders didn't even agree with his tactics, knowing he was a spoiled bitch (we all know one of them). This probably had something to do with his dear friend and monetary supporter William de Briouze, of whom King John ended up seeing as a threat and ordered his wife and son to be starved to death in his dungeon. His killings do not amass to the others, but he is of worthy note due to his reputation of killing his friends, sleeping with their wives, and shamelessly suffering his people. I see us not just getting happy hour, but raging through the city's finest clubs and ending the night egging peasants, laughing so hard we piss ourselves. Questions would include "which of your boys did you not screw over? At any point, did you realize everyone hated you? Did you care in the slightest? Do you take pride in having the nickname "Bad King John?" which of your friend's wives was best in bed? What was the name of your army horse, and why?" You know this man due to his portrayal as the antagonist to Robin Hood, my third favorite movie villain.
3. Mao Zedong
By the time Mao died in 1976, his reign and controlled famine in China had killed up to 70 million people. 700,000 citizens had killed themselves alone out of fear of this one man's rule. His preferred method of torture was burning people alive with kerosene or nailing their palms to a table and then inserting bamboo spikes between their fingernails. I picture us meeting at a local satanic sushi bar, taking sake bombs and then getting dirty in the details. Questions would include "why do you hate your own citizens so much? What were you trying to accomplish? Did you instill any positivity in your followers? Did you ever question your methods? How did you sleep at night? Why so serious?" he seems like a boring guy, but I'd still like see him kill a few rolls of sashimi and talk apathetically about his bloody legacy.
2. Joe Kennedy
Joe and I cool down sipping Johnny Walker Blue after a round of golf at the country club. The booze is helping with the nerves because Joe is a man I respect greatly but also hate with a passion. He amassed his fortune with the old "pump and dump" scheme, getting his rich buddies to join him in pouring money into a stock, which in turn would triple or quadruple in value in a matter of hours. When the stock was at its peak, they all would sell it, plummeting the stocks and sending tens of thousands into bankruptcy and unemployment. Then, when he was appointed chairmen of FTC by his pal FDR, he passed a law banning the pump and dump because it was unethical. Joe had a knack for annihilating political enemies, which would drive the corruption and bribery behind JFK's rise to power. Poor Jack just wanted to chase women and teach history, but his asshole of a father was like "no, you will be the most powerful man in the new world whether you like it or not." Jack obliged, because that's what you do with someone like Joe. Questions would include "was FDR's wife really into women? Did you ever feel bad bankrupting innocent and hard working Americans for your own glory? Who was better in the bedroom, Gloria Swanson or Marlene Dietrich? Who was the one person, if there was one, that you feared? Do you think Bobby's as big of a sissy as the rest of the country does?"
1. Uday Hussein
I know you're cringing at this point, but hang in there, there's only one more. Saddams' eldest son created a reputation for himself that was so brutal and ostentatious that his own father shunned him from politics, instead passing the reigns to Udays' younger brother, Qusay. He raped any women he thought was attractive, had a secret torture chamber for 'shits and gigs' (which included an iron maiden), and kept a torture scorecard while watching Iraqi sports teams to remember which athletes to torment when they lost. Uday was like a combination of Tony Stark and Jeffery Dahmer (who almost made the list), for he was a playboy with a taste for exotic cars, grand parties, fine suits, all things gold, and peeling off peoples skin with an exacto knife. Homeboy was ill, son. I see us pulling back champagne at his private zoo, petting white tigers across the table from a monkey wearing a bowtie. Cocaine lines are strewn from the patio to the bedroom, where his three girlfriends await. Once he stops talking about how great of a man he is, I'd slip in the inquiries. "Tell me about your father, Lucifer. Do you have any regrets? Top speed in your lambo? Do you even care that your father hates you? If you could sleep with one American celebrity, who would it be and why? Are you aware you will be seated next to Hitler at hells' dining room table?"
People are sick. You have to admit though; it would be interesting to pick at the brains of history's most evil men. You may be wondering why Hitler didn't make the list, and it's because we already know everything about him. What more could I ask Hitler that I didn't learn in 5th grade history?

Atari's back catalogue on Steam by June?
Struggling publisher Atari's new 'GamersFirst' initiative seems set to push either a portion or all of their extensive PC back catalogue onto Steam as part of a new budget range.
Publisher and developer Strategy First is to distribute an unspecified number of its games via Steam.


It is the only sound in what feels like a forgotten back room in a decaying thrift shop.
This is what death looks like to a video rental store. The red carpets are stained maroon, the shelves are dusty, the marquee behind the counter is missing a handful of lights, a forced smile with missing teeth.
Once these stores were bright places busy with roaming flocks of people, content in their Friday night ritual, drawn to the activity, the glad noise, the sparkle.
Technology and politics deadened the noise and tarnished the sparkle. Corporate colossi that outshined the small local stores and starved them out of business are themselves suffering the end of a long famine that will surely leave behind nothing but the brightly painted bones of closed store fronts.
I shake off these depressing thoughts and walk over to New Releases, intent on finding a copy of "The Mist". I wouldn't find out until a couple of hours later what a terrible choice this would be as an attempt to lift my spirits. Honestly, "The Mist" is cinema garbage. It is a boring retelling of an otherwise brilliant Stephen King short story. Plagued with haphazard casting and a shamefully exploitative finale, it should be avoided with extreme prejudice. Never trust a director that mistakes sickening shock value for irony.
Happy (oblivious) with my purchase, I walk next door to pick up supper from Domino's Pizza and then head home where Mrs. Spookyblue is waiting. The depressing, gray snow feeling fades as I leave behind the battered shopping center with its dying Blockbuster store.
Unless the MPAA screws it up, you'll soon be able to instantly download straight to your TV every movie ever made, every episode of The Odd Couple, Lost In Space, and Petticoat Junction. The paltry "On Demand" listings offered by your cable company will be replaced with anything and everything that anyone might possibly want to watch, and your viewing habits will be meticulously recorded, stamped, spindled, and mutilated.
And the Friday night ritual, though changed, will continue.

Online Platform Sprouts to Facilitate Global Local Agricultural Network
August 15, 2012 | Melinda Clark
A brand-new "niche e-marketplace," Sproutrade is looking to connect farmers, growers and agriculture companies around the world. The platform, which just went live in July 2012, along with sister product Crowdstocker, aims to bring buyers and sellers of particular products together on a local and international scale. Their founder, Laura Wei, has been busy attending funding meetings, but she was able to correspond with Seedstock through email.
Wei got the idea for Sproutrade while working as a research assistant at Michigan State University. A coworker asked her where it would be most profitable to sell ginseng in Asia, and she realized that she didn't know how to identify buyers and sellers of particular products on that sort of international level. Online research showed her that there was little in the way of agriculture platforms available. And so the idea for Sproutrade was planted.
The platform's basic concept is that any farmer, grower or agriculture company can go to Sproutrade.com and set up an account for themselves to advertise their products – similar to creating a company page on Facebook. They can also post agriculture products they want to sell or buy on the site, as well as news, jobs and any other information they want to share.
In terms of buying and selling products, Sproutrade is structured similarly to sites such as Amazon and Ebay, but it can be either business-to-business or business-to-customer. And, explains Wei, "E-commerce sites such as Amazon offer nearly any type of good, to be shipped nearly anywhere in the world, but we identified a problem in the fresh produce sector, since individual customers can't order a carton of blueberries, for instance, in a refrigerated delivery box."
To solve the problem of perishable good delivery to individual customers – a problem that "none of the large e-commerce companies have been able to tackle effectively," says Wei – she created the Crowdstocker extension, which allows individual customers to ask for a product from a local merchant. For example, let's say a consumer wants Safeway to carry a specific variety of melon. The consumer will go onto Crowdstocker, select the retailer they want, and request the specific type of produce they want to purchase. The retailer then chooses a quantity that would make it worth their while to stock, and that number gets posted on Crowdstocker along with the product information. When that many individuals request the product, the retailer will stock it and the products can be picked up locally.
A Sproutrade product page.
Wei says that they're just finishing up testing on Crowdstocker and are contacting supermarket managers and other stakeholders to join them.
Since Sproutrade is in the very beginning stages, it doesn't have many users yet, but Wei says they plan to recruit company and farm-level members through a combination of traditional and nontraditional outlets, such as trade journals and LinkedIn. To draw individual customers to Crowdstocker, they're engaging through social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
At this point in time, all new registrants on Sproutrade become free silver members. After the trial period, users can choose to maintain silver membership, upgrade to gold membership, or utilize the free membership. Each level of membership provides users with more functionality, such as product listing priority, advanced search capabilities and multimedia video content. For instance, silver members can post 20 buying offers while gold members are able to post an unlimited amount, and also receive the highest listing priority.
For optimal functioning, Wei says they would like to "have users across a broad range of geographies and markets. This is especially true with the recent drought in the Midwest, where people may need to source products from outside their region. [Sproutrade]'s also an international product, as you can see by the languages selection, and we hope to expand to help farmers wherever they are."
While Sproutrade will allow all levels of trade and commerce, "from down the street to across the globe," as Wei puts it, it encourages sustainable agriculture wherever produce is grown. And, though customers can order on Crowdstocker from anywhere in the world, Wei says that "it works most effectively on a local scale, since local markets already have existing local sourcing channels, but simply need to know what the customers want. Local farms can also respond directly to customer trends before goods even have to be shipped to market; prior to our innovation, you received market demand data at the point of purchase."
At this point, the biggest challenge facing Sproutrade is capital, says Wei, as they're "running on a shoestring budget." She says they'd love to hire some staff eventually, in marketing, sales, web development/programming and other areas that will "help us scale the Sproutrade platform and create an awesome user experience." For now, she says, "we've been able to bootstrap operations and accomplish everything we've needed to get done so far."
Down the road, Sproutrade hopes to build onto the platform by introducing features such as the ability to undertake transactions directly through the Sproutrade platform (the actual transactions currently occur between the buyers and sellers; Sproutrade just facilitates it) and the introduction of "business services" through third parties, who may provide services such as refrigerated trucking for business-level buyers.
To date, Sproutrade has only received "friends and family" capital, but it's seeking institutional investors, such as those at venture capital firms, or "angel investors". It's also open to internships, if students would like to get a feel for "life at the intersection of agriculture and e-commerce." Says Wei, "It's a great opportunity to change the way agriculture commerce works!"

Hyundai Ioniq 6 scores 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, details here!
New Delhi: Vehicle manufacturers are becoming very serious about safety in their cars day by day. At the same time, there has been a lot of awareness among the people regarding the safety of the vehicles. Euro NCAP, which has issued safety ratings for vehicles some time ago, has considered Hyundai's new electric car Ioniq 6 as one of the safest cars in the crash test and has given this car a 5 star safety rating. That is, if you also want to buy a safe electric car, then you can choose this car.
Showcased at Auto Expo
Hyundai Motor has showcased its car at the recently held mega event Auto Expo 2023 in the country, in which many safety features have been given. This car is expected to appear in the Indian market in the next few times. The car has been built on the company's E-GMP platform, which is already being sold in markets like South Korea and the US.
How was the performance?
Hyundai Ioniq 6 has scored 97 percent for adult occupant, 87 percent for child occupant, 66 percent for vulnerable road user test and 90 percent for safety assistance in Euro crash testing.
These are the safety features
Talking about the features of Hyundai Ionic 6, it comes with 6 airbags, safety features like seat belt load limiter, seat belt reminder, speed assist, lane assist system and belt pre-tensioner.
How is the powertrain?
A 77.4 kWh battery pack has been used in the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Also, it gets a dual-motor setup, which produces a combined power of around 300hp. This car gets WLTP certified range of 514 km per charge. This car can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes with the help of an ultra-fast charger. As of now, it may take some time for this car to arrive in India. But the model of this car sold in the markets of Europe costs around 47 lakh Indian rupees.

GENESEE COUNTY(WJRT) - (04/22/15) - For nearly a decade, the nations' largest trucking industry group has proposed limiting the top speed of heavy commercial vehicles.
While efforts have stalled in Congress, there's a new call to establish a national speed limit for all big rigs.
Safety is the number one goal, according to the American Trucking Association, who would like to see speed governors or limiters placed on all heavy vehicles.
Traffic on Mid-Michigan highways flows like a river, with a mix of passenger and commercial vehicles.
Vehicle safety has fueled the American Trucking Association's drive to slow truckers down to 65 mph, especially in states where the speed limit has risen to 80 mph or more.
"Statistics have shown that faster you go, the longer it takes to stop, the more distance traveled before you realize something is wrong, so safety is one of the primary issues," said Phil Whitmer, dean of Baker College Transportation & Technology.
While many factors can be considered, tires play a big role.
"Ninety-five percent of the truck tires have a speed rating of 75 mph. That's the maximum speed of the tire. Anytime you get up there, depending on the weight that you're hauling, anytime you get up to that maximum speed, chances of the tire failing greatly increase," said Bill Florkowski, manager at Jerry's Tires.
That failure can come from over-heated tires that can fail from exposure to long periods of both higher speed and heat, especially in southern states.
"The weight and the speed greatly affect the structural integrity of the tire, especially with unstable loads, your liquid loads, your gasoline tankers for instance," Florkowski said.
While there are safety and fuel benefits from going slower, over the road haulers we talked with don't think limiting truck speed is a good idea.
"It's just like when you go to pass a car. You always want a little bit more to get by the car. I think 6 5mph is fast enough in this area of the country. When you get out in Texas and it's flat and there's no traffic or a lot less traffic, then you should be able to run 70 mph," said Don Pardee, a retired trucker and Baker Driving instructor.
Pardee adds that there are many different factors to consider as to how fast a driver should be allowed to go, including weather, road conditions and traffic.
"One size don't fit all," he said.
While the current speed limit for trucks is 60 mph in Michigan, 5 mph below the proposed limit, some efforts are underway in the House of Representatives to raise both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles by as much as 10 mph on some highways.

A false interpretation of scientific studies has led to millions being "over-medicated" with statin drugs due to the proliferation of myths in the medical community regarding the role of saturated fat in heart disease. A Cardiologist is speaking out stating that almost four decades of advice to cut back on saturated fats found in foods such as butter and meat has paradoxically increased our cardiovascular risks.
More physicians and medical specialists are speaking out on what really causes disease. Just last year, world renown heart surgeon Dr. Dwight Lundell, made headlines when he stated the facts on the actual causes of heart disease. "As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries,today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact," he was quoted in a statement.
Cutting back on butter and fatty meats may have done more harm to heart health than good.
Governments here and abroad have been cautioning the public for decades on the dangers of high fat diets. The low-fat mantra has been questioned for years by clinicians and nutritional scientists – not least because it has failed to halt the obesity epidemic. The fact is, low-fat diets make you fat, and contrary to official advice by our diet dictocrats, high-fat diets lower blood sugar, improve blood lipids, and reduce obesity.
Earlier this summer, Dr. Malhorta stated in a BMJ publication, that a fundamental misunderstanding exists in the scientific community and among the lay public that has interfered with our collective ability to curb the obesity epidemic. The belief that we make our food choices deliberately and that they reflect our true desires sustains the status quo and obscures the reality that decisions about the food we buy and consume are often automatic and made without full awareness.
"But correlation is not causation," said Dr Malhotra, interventional cardiology specialist registrar at Croydon University Hospital, London.
Nevertheless, people were advised to reduce fat intake to 30 percent of total energy and a fall in saturated fat intake to 10 percent.
One of the earliest obesity experiments, published in the Lancet in 1956, comparing groups on diets of 90 percent fat versus 90 percent protein versus 90 percent carbohydrate revealed the greatest weight loss was among those eating the most fat.
Another US study showed a "low fat" diet was worse for health than one which was low in carbohydrates, such as potatoes, pasta, bread.
The confusion has led to people being 'over-medicated' with statin drugs, such as Rosuvastatin.
The food industry compensated by replacing saturated fat with added sugar but evidence is mounting that sugar is a "possible independent risk factor" for metabolic syndrome which can lead to diabetes.
The added sugar has also been replaced by toxic artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, high fructose corn syrup and neotame.
Dr Malhotra said the government's obsession with cholesterol "has led to the over-medication of millions of people with statins".
But why has there been no demonstrable effect on heart disease trends when millions are being prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs, he asked.
Adopting a Mediterranean diet after a heart attack is almost three times as powerful in reducing death rates as taking a statin, which have been linked to unacceptable side effects in real-world use, he added.
Dr Malcolm Kendrick, a GP and author of The Great Cholesterol Con, said Sweden had become the first western nation to develop national dietary guidelines that rejected the low-fat myth, in favour of low-carb high-fat nutrition advice.
Aseem Malhotra is to be congratulated for stating the truth that has been suppressed for the last forty years.
But when saturated fat got mixed up with the high sugar added to processed food in the second half of the 20th century, it got a bad name. Which is worse, the saturated fat or the added sugar?
The American Heart Association has weighed in – the sugar many times over. Instead of lowering serum cholesterol with statins, which is dubious at best, how about serving up some real food?


Jason Willis has been improving my Halloween seasons for nearly a decade. My iTunes is brimming with vintage Halloween LPs that were originally offered on his Scar Stuff blog, most of which were nearly impossible to find before that. (Do not miss his Goula-Rama and Spook Party mixes!) After sharing his music collection he began making his own spooky video creations and unleashing them on us each October. This year is no exception!
The subject this time around is the classic 1970 comic book ad for the free Moon Monster poster (and horror fan club membership.) The source material is obviously near to my heart, in fact, Jason contributed the photo of one of the Moon Monster posters that appears in my book, Mail-Order Mysteries.
Best thing is, Jason absolutely does justice to something that could be so easy to get wrong. He takes the old comic book aesthetic and somehow enhances it. He also knows how to use all the little details to add layers of authenticity both visually and aurally. So I invite you to check out his latest masterwork that answers the question: what if the products sold in comic books were also advertised on television?
If you watched to the end you know there's more to it than just the commercial. Jason has also put together a downloadable, printable Moon Monster horror kit with all the trimmings! Just go here!
Let's not stop there! Here's Jason's take on a TV spot for a 1953 issue of Adventures Into Darkness.
Great huh? So why not check out the rest of his Halloween filmography? I've discussed this one before, it's a visualization of the 1973 Johnson Smith Horror Record using Eerie Publications artwork! Beware, this is so much more gory that you are expecting!..
Up next is a Halloween Safety film that Jason actually appeared in as a child, no joke!
Finally, while we're on the subject of recent art based on spooky comic book ads, I'd like to point out that Devil's Workshop has made a mask based on the Monster Ghost mail-away product! The head for the real thing was actually a balloon that looked nothing like the illustration so this is the realization of countless childhood fantasies.
As you may recall they also produced a masked based on the Gayle House Ghoul ad.
People, this is truly the golden age of videos and masks that are based on semi-obscure comic book advertisements!
Amazing post! Thanks so much.


The Moroccan TV program "Sabahiyat" has issued an apology after airing a segment last Wednesday that shared makeup tips for covering up evidence of domestic abuse.
The segment featured a smiling makeup artist and a model whose face was covered with bruises.
Mashable reported that during one point in the segment the makeup artist, Lilia Mouline, said, "Make sure to use loose powder to fix the makeup so if you have to work throughout the day, the bruises don't show."
By the end of the segment, the host said, "We hope these beauty tips will help you carry on with your daily life," according to The Guardian.
The controversial segment sparked backlash on social media and even prompted a petition on Change.org.
"I think they missed the point.... they should be stopping domestic violence and working towards creating laws programs and facilities in place to end it.... not teach its victims to hide it from people," one commentator wrote on Facebook.
Another wrote: "This is probably the most tone-deaf thing I have witnessed on the internet - which in 2016 is saying a lot."
The TV station issued an apology on Facebook in response to the backlash.
"The management believes that this section is completely inappropriate and has an editorial error of judgement in view of the sensitivity and the gravity of the subject of violence against women," the statement read.
The makeup artist told Yabiladi that she wasn't trying to normalize domestic violence.
She went on to justify the segment telling Yabiladi, "We are here to try to provide solutions to these women who, for a period of 2 to 3 weeks, are putting their social life aside for the duration of their wounds."
Mouline added that the makeup allows victims of domestic abuse to "continue living normally while waiting for justice."

Automatic gates have become a primary way to protect your home and property. For those that can afford them, they make great barriers between your world and the one beyond your property line. Residential homes have a big part to play in the development and growth of many gate companies and contractors. Buying your fence can put you on the map in your neighborhood. A Valencia residential gate should be a beautiful and secure one. The choice of who to hire to do your work is up to you, but inferior work crews could mean substandard automatic residential gate.
Two things that the crew you hire should talk to you about are the installation process and the opener. The installation process is going to be a long and difficult one for Valencia residential gate team. They will want to make sure that every piece and step of the process is to your liking. The opener is the part of the automatic gate that you will have the most interaction with, so many reputable crews will especially get your complete input as to the style, brand, type, and kind of gate opener you want to use multiple times every day.
The installation is a step by step process that can include building a fence or stone pillars to support your Valencia residential gate. The build can be as large or as complicated as you can dream it. That does not mean it has to be complicated, but the choices you make will be the primary influence that makes the difference. Choosing more detailed designs and complicated procedures could use up your money and your builders patience. Make sure that the builder always knows exactly what you expect out of them from the very beginning all the way to the very end.
and you will be the one that has to work with it. Taking time to see what you prefer and what you can use the easiest is the quickest way to decide which gate opener you want. For your Valencia residential gate you only need a simple system for the gate instead of a complicated one you would see at a business. A great contractor will assist you in finding what fits your needs and style the best. Finding the right company and contractor will make a huge difference as you plan and build your residential gate.

Chevy Reveals 'Gran Turismo 6' Concept Car
on November 20, 2014 at 2:18 pm
It's time to get your game on.
Nissan isn't the only automaker with a real-life version of a vehicle from Gran Turismo 6. At the LA International Auto Show, Chevrolet rolled out its own: the Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo (VGT). The concept car was developed as part of the Vision Gran Turismo project that includes offerings from Subaru, Toyota, Aston Martin and more. As the name suggests, Chevy's take got a hand from Chaparral Racing and includes futuristic options like driver-adjustable aerodynamics and a laser-based propulsion system. The battery-powered 671-kW laser helps churn out 900 horsepower in thrust, which helps the car top out at 240 MPH while going from 0-60 MPH in 1.5 seconds — inside the confines of GT6, of course. "In many ways, the Chaparral 2X VGT is like racing wing suit, with a protective fuselage for 'flying' very low to the ground," says design team lead Frank Saucedo.
Gamers can race the Chaparral 2X VGT this holiday season by downloading an online update for Gran Turismo 6, the latest iteration of the best-selling PlayStation franchise that has sold more than 72 million copies worldwide since its 1998 debut.
With a 671-kW laser, powered by a pack of lithium-ion batteries, and an air-powered generator to provide 900 horsepower worth of thrust, the Chaparral 2X VGT will be capable of a 240-mph top speed in the video game with 0-60 acceleration capability of 1.5 seconds.
The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X VGT concept is on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show through November 30.

TZMI provides specialist technical consulting for all aspects of the global titanium and zirconium industries.
Technical Reviews and Audits
With a large and diverse operating experience across nearly all titanium mineral and pigment operations around the world, TZMI and its subsidiary companies are in a position to efficiently identify areas for improvement in the areas of cost, quality and throughput. TZMI has proven experience in developing operating cash cost forecasts for the titanium minerals and pigment industries, which have been used in nearly all of the major industry transactions over the last five years.
TZMI regularly executes due diligence studies, feasibility studies and independent expert reports for both industry participants, potential new entrants and financiers, as well as for other titanium feedstock and pigment transactions.
Resource Assessments
As the world financial climate varies and project funding is widely sought after, investors are seeking to minimise risk during the initiation of new projects as well as in the expansion of existing operations. TZMI's extensive practical experience in assessing and analysing mineral sands resources enables a "fast track" review of potential projects. This includes formulation of a production and cost competitiveness model which can be used to benchmark the resource against existing mineral sands operations.
The financial model of the proposed mineral sands operation can also be used to provide detail on the capital and operating costs associated with the mining of a new deposit or the expansion of an existing mining operation. Optimisation of the mine plan allows for the maximisation of project potential with the output of the assessment used to optimise project returns and establish strategic direction.
TZMI recognises the industry's unique sampling and analytical techniques that are required to address JORC-compliant resource assessments and several TZMI directors are "competent persons" for the purpose of resource evaluation statements. TZMI also prepares long term projections of supply, demand and price and can provide a focused market assessment using a detailed analysis of the final product quality and marketability.
Physical Separation Testwork
Much of TZMI's technical consulting work is done in collaboration with Allied Mineral Laboratories (AML), a subsidiary of TZMI. AML specialises in resource assessment and flowsheet development for mineral sands, iron ore and other heavy mineral deposits. Extensive laboratory and pilot scale equipment allows for evaluation and side-by-side performance comparisons of various mineral sands processing equipment options. In conjunction with AML, TZMI is able to test mineral sands samples from run of mine (ROM) ore all the way through to saleable mineral products.
AML's pilot plant is capable of processing up to tens of tonnes ROM samples and is equipped with a full range of both wet and dry processing equipment. As an independent facility, AML will test samples on any alternative equipment to meet client requirements. While much of the equipment at the laboratory has proven successful in processing minerals sands it has also recently been determined that the equipment presents a definite advantage over more traditional equipment for the processing of other heavy minerals such as fine iron ore, tantalite and gold.
Flowsheet Development
In association with Allied Mineral Laboratories (AML), TZMI provides flowsheet development for mineral sands, iron ore and other heavy mineral deposits. As an independent test facility, AML's focus is on developing the best flowsheet for the specific resource, independent of the brand of equipment. AML uses the latest in operational practice and flowsheet configuration to provide the client with the best possible outcome for its resource. The technical team at AML has operational and technical experience in the minerals sands production industry in six continents, including almost every individual producing field in the world. Its principal and senior technical personnel have combined experience of over 100 years dedicated to the mineral sands industry.

New England energy officials are looking for ways to better incorporate renewable energy into the market, including possibly recognizing nuclear power as a non-carbon emitting source.
FERC has already approved several new pipelines in 2017, largely to transport natural gas produced in the eastern United States. None of these pipelines are located in New England.
While federal policies on trade have created tension among our closest neighbors, this story indicates energy trade between the U.S. and Canada will remain strong. In fact, Canada today is our largest trading partner when it comes to energy.
The New York Observer had some harsh words for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has long pushed for the closure of Indian Point nuclear power plant. The facility supplies 25 percent of New York City and Westchester County's energy (as well as supplying some energy to southern New England), yet, the editorial argues, there is no clear answer as to how to replace that power when Indian Point retires in 2021.


Dementia and Depression: Is Your Love One Living With Both?
Currently, 5.7 million people are living with Alzheimer's – the most common form of dementia – here in the US. By 2050, that number is expected to balloon to 14 million.
When a person first receives the diagnosis, a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions move through them. It's only natural to experience stress and anxiety about the coming changes. Some also experience depression, especially in the early and middle stages of the disease.
However, studies are showing that people with dementia experience depression differently than those without.
With dementia patients, depression symptoms tend to be less severe. That's what makes depression in dementia patients so difficult to detect.
One of the biggest indicators is social withdrawal. If a person starts to pull away, isolates themselves into a room, and stops being interested in things they normally showed interest in, that may be a sign of something more.
Even doctors have trouble distinguishing the two conditions because of the amount of overlap. Yet if you suspect changes, it's important to discuss them with your loved one's doctor as quickly as possible to find the best course of treatment, which can include both prescription and non-drug approaches.
Love and support are often the best way to deal with every situation. As a caregiver, if you question any changes in your loved one's behavior, talk to their doctor as soon as possible. Knowledge is everything.
Dementia is a progressive disease. And though everyone's journey is different, there are three primary stages, each with its own unique set of symptoms. Understanding each stage can provide insight into different care strategies to help reduce frustration and suffering for both the individual with dementia and their caregiver.
In the early stages of dementia, cognitive deficits start to become apparent to family and friends. The person gradually has more difficulty with things like remembering names, finding words, or concentrating on the task at hand.
A person with MCI might get confused easier, get lost while in unfamiliar situations, or have increased difficulty performing certain tasks. The desire for social interaction decreases. They may continue to withdraw from activities they once found stimulating and enjoyable.
Denial is often a problem at this stage of dementia.
Millions of people across the world live with Alzheimer's, all at varying stages.
If it impacts a loved one, you know just how difficult living with it can be.
While there are many changes to be aware of, one of the most difficult stems from communication. What used to be easy and free-flowing can now be challenging at best. But having Alzheimer's doesn't have to stop your conversations. It just means adjusting to what is now possible.
Eye contact is incredibly important when you speak with someone with Alzheimer's. It helps focus the conversation, establishes connection, and ensures the person you are talking with that you are paying attention to what they have to say.
Use the person's name frequently throughout the conversation. Using their name establishes the connection that you are indeed talking with them. It helps them pay attention and engage in the conversation that is taking place.
If you are having a deep and meaningful conversation, remove distractions as much as possible. Turn off the television or radio to ensure both parties are actively listening. Move away from loud, noisy areas, especially if children are playing nearby.
Avoid fighting. At times, you might become frustrated with the things a person remembers or forgets. It's most often the disease that is impacting the conversation; you'll never win. The best way to deal with a potential argument is to simply walk away.
Be patient. This means you should avoid finishing sentences or come up with the right words when he or she can't. It is better to refocus the conversation and ask questions that might help him or her remember instead. Always be aware of the point of conversation and try to steer it by asking questions that empower your loved one, not add to their frustration.
At times, a person with Alzheimer's may enter a different reality. People from their past may suddenly come to life in their minds. Instead of trying to correct them, reflect it in the conversation. It makes it easier if you simply play along. In most cases, it won't impact the overall outcome of the conversation, and ideas will change from day to day.
Get creative. Instead of relying on pure conversation, introduce stimulates instead. How about a picture book? Or a scrapbook of mementos? Using props can add to the enjoyment of the conversation, and even bring out new thoughts from your loved one.
Be specific. We use generalized terms in our conversations all the time. For most of us, using "it" is just a normal part of our speech. But with someone with Alzheimer's, "it" can be frustrating when they don't know what "it" is. Name it instead whenever possible to avoid frustration.
This is a difficult and never-ending process. It's okay to ask for help and guidance along the way. The important thing to realize is this is a journey, and how you travel from here on out depends on you.
What Is Anosognosia? Where Do You Go From Here?
Anosognosia is a symptom of severe mental illness that impairs a person's ability to understand and perceive his or her illness. And it impacts our society in many ways.
Anosognosia impacts approximately 50 percent of all individuals with schizophrenia and 40 percent of people with bipolar disease. It also is recognized in people that have strokes, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurological conditions. There is growing evidence that shows whenever a person suffers from one or more of these diseases, a part of the brain that is involved with self-reflection is impacted in the process. Without the awareness that something is happening to them, they refuse treatment, no matter how clear the need for treatment may be to others around them.
I read a recent article on the effects of Alzheimer's on a caregiver. And while the statistics are shocking, they aren't unexpected. Anyone in a caregiving role understands.
Here's something else to think about. Alzheimer's is the only disease among the top 10 causes of death that cannot be prevented, cured, or slowed. Without more advancement in research, Alzheimer's will continue growing by leaps and bounds. And it will impact families at far greater rates.
Ever misplaced your keys or forgotten a phone number? If you're young, you probably didn't think much about it. After all, you're busy with a lot on your plate. You might even be surprised you don't miss more.
But as we grow older, sometimes we stop and think about what that means. Have we started forgetting things as a normal part of the aging process? Or are we starting to experience major memory problems?
That's why it's important to understand the difference.
Living with a behavioral or cognitive problem isn't something either of you can ignore. Everyone in the family knows something is "different, " yet in some cases, it's simply hard to talk about.
People change in later years. And sometimes this change brings about decline in a person's health faster than you expect. It can be difficult watching them forget even the simplest of things, especially if they enjoyed it in the past.
And while you may notice and ignore, chances are your elderly loved one has experienced the same thing. They have their suspicions something is wrong. Yet the anxiety of facing it can be even more difficult than ignoring it altogether.
