Is Science Really Involved in Spiritual Energy?
Yes! We often think of spirituality and science as separate, but more and more scientific facts are surfacing in the field of metaphysics. Spirituality is something that has to be found within yourself, from your soul, and even when you experience enlightenment, it can be fleeting. Scientific proof can help you feel assured that your spiritual feelings are real. Using Kirlian photography, spiritual energy can actually be caught on camera.

Resting Smiley Face
Why did the world make such a big deal about "resting bitch face" but no one suggested we all try "resting smiley face" in its place? I'm guessing it's the same reason people complain about gas prices when they're high, but don't mention them at all when they're lowered.

McGill University News and Events
McGill and other Canadian universities unite to address climate change
Responsible investment practices to accelerate transition to a low-carbon economy
Published: 18Jun2020
Today, a group of 15 leading universities across Canada, spearheaded by McGill University and the University of Toronto, are uniting to tackle the global challenge of climate change by pledging to follow responsible investment practices. Their efforts are outlined in Investing to Address Climate Change: A Charter for Canadian Universities.
Climate change is a complex issue and as institutional investors, universities have an important role to play in responding to this global challenge and share a duty to manage their long-term investments in ways that acknowledge and account for these developments.
"Climate change is now recognized as the defining challenge facing humanity, already leading to profound social, economic and environmental changes in Canada and around the world," said McGill Principal and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Suzanne Fortier. "McGill recognizes and embraces the unique responsibility of universities to support societies in their transition toward sustainability, by generating the knowledge needed to create a more sustainable future, as well as cultivating citizens and leaders who have the skills and commitment to put that knowledge into practice."
With these considerations in mind, the charter's signatories pledge to abide by the following principles and practices, and encourage other universities to do the same:
Adopt a responsible investing framework to guide investment decision-making, in line with recognized standards such as the UN Principles of Responsible Investing (UN-PRI). Such a framework should:
Incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors into investment management practices
Encourage active engagement with companies to foster disclosure of ESG (including climate) related risks, and adoption of operational practices that reduce carbon emissions and foster ESG-positive behaviour more broadly
Regularly measure the carbon intensity of our investment portfolios, and set meaningful targets for their reduction over time
Evaluate progress towards these objectives on a regular basis, and share the results of such assessments publicly
Ensure that the performance evaluation of university investment managers takes into account their success in achieving such objectives, alongside the normal criteria for assessing their performance
An advisory board was formed to review the Charter periodically, share expertise on evolving investment practices as well as participate in a biennial conference with the Charters' signatories. The advisory board members are comprised of high profile and seasoned professionals in Canada: Mark Carney, Pauline D'Amboise, Michael Sabia and Barbara Zvan.
This charter is just one of the many ways universities are working to address climate change. The signatory universities (see below) are also committed to playing a leadership role in addressing climate change through research, teaching and by taking action to reduce the carbon footprint of their campuses.
"McGill itself has already committed to an ambitious plan of actions that involves its investments, academic mission, operations, governance and management," added Principal Fortier.
Signatory universities:
This initiative is intended to be inclusive and to complement the actions undertaken by other institutions in Canada wishing to join.

The Basturs Poble site is what is known in English as a bone bed, a geological stratum containing a great amount of fossils. The stratum dates back some 70 million years. It is the only one to have been found in Europe exclusively containing hadrosaur remains. The excavations conducted during the past ten years have yielded approximately one thousand fossils. The remains are disjointed and possibly belong to only one species: the Pararhabdodon isonensis.
"We think the individuals died due to unfavourable environmental conditions, perhaps an extreme dry spell. After their death, the remains got washed away by water and then began to fossilise, but we know that the place where they died was not far away from the site", explains Víctor Fondevilla, researcher at the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP) and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and first author of the paper.
The Pararhabdodon isonensis species is only known to have existed in the Pallars Jussà region. The species was described in 1985 after the discovery of remains found at Sant Romà d'Abella and its specific name - isonensis - refers to the town of Isona located near the site. These dinosaurs measured from 6 to 7 metres in length and it is estimated that the adults weighed some three tonnes.

Israel's Tunnel-Detection Success Poses Hard Choice For Hamas
By Administrator on May 7, 2016
by Yaakov Lappin –
Special to IPT News –
[Editors Note: This ends the objections, of tunneling, to the building of the wall on the American Southern Border.]
In late March, we reported that pressure was building within the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, which could lead to a new round of fighting with Israel.
In recent days, violence out of Gaza has indeed escalated significantly, and the trigger has been a succession of breakthroughs in the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) ability to detect cross-border assault tunnels that threaten Israel's south.
On Thursday morning, the IDF announced that it had found a tunnel 30 meters (98 feet) underground that reached into southern Israel, not far from where the IDF used new breakthrough technology to locate another tunnel in April.
Realizing it is about to lose its most prized offensive weapon against Israel – the ability to inject murder squads in Israeli territory though tunnels – Hamas's military wing decided to do something it has not done in almost two years. It began a succession of cross-border mortar attacks in the vicinity, with a view to disrupting the detection work, and more importantly, to signal to Israel that Hamas is willing to risk war over its tunnel program.
Hamas's attacks began on Tuesday with small arms fire and a mortar attack on IDF unit near southern Gaza carrying out engineering tunnel detection work. It escalated on Wednesday, as units came closer to locating the tunnel, resulting in multiple mortar attacks, and Israeli retaliatory tank and air strikes.
By Thursday morning, the IDF located its latest tunnel, sending home the message to Hamas's military wing that the days in which it could dig subterranean structures under the border into Israel are drawing to a close.
Hamas persisted in mortar attacks, which at this stage appear to be missing Israeli forces deliberately, sparking yet more tank and Air Force replies by Israel.
"We view this technological, intelligence, and operational effort as a success. We can say that this tunnel is a violation of our sovereignty," a senior IDF source said on Thursday.
According to the source, Hamas's attempts to tell Israel to stop destroying its tunnel program are in vain.
"We are determined to continue with these efforts, and understand that we must focus in these areas," he added.
Looking ahead, two principal scenarios could unfold in the coming days and weeks. The first possibility is that Hamas's military wing does not back down from its so-called red line, and continues to back up its call for Israel to cease tunnel-detection work with cross-border fire. In such a scenario, Israel would be hard-pressed to contain a resumption of the reality that existed in the south prior to the 2014 conflict with Hamas. A resulting security escalation would rapidly grow in scope, and the IDF would quickly have to implement plans to destroy the military wing's offensive capabilities.
This development would result in a major new conflict, which could end with only Hamas's political wing remaining intact, as well as the Islamist regime's domestic police force.
Unlike previous rounds of fighting, Israel this time may be determined to destroy Hamas's 20,000-strong military wing, including the 5,000-member Nuhba elite force (which is trained to cross into Israel via the tunnels).
In essence, Hamas needs to choose between backing down from its stance on Israel's tunnel detection, and watching its trump card blow away, or risk the existence of its military wing.
Should it choose the latter, it would comply with the wishes of Hamas's political wing, which is less eager to provoke a military confrontation with Israel so soon after the 2014 war.
"Operation Protective Edge" was the most intensive conflict ever experienced by Hamas.
The two-month war left a deep imprint on Hamas. It challenged Hamas to a far greater extent than any previous military clash with Israel since Hamas seized power in Gaza in 2007. It was exposed to the most sustained and accurate Israeli firepower in its history, and lost more of its operatives in battle than any previous time (although it had also never achieved this level of capabilities before 2014).
Hamas is still in the midst of rebuilding its rocket arsenals, rebuilding tunnels, and constructing drones, as well as assembling a naval terrorist intrusion unit. Gaza's long suffering civilian population, under the grip of its Islamist jihadist rulers, may not wish to stomach a new war so soon.
The fact that, until now, Hamas has not fired a single projectile or bullet at Israel indicates that it understood that Israel is not prepared to seek containment as a response to ongoing cross-border fire.
These factors could be enough to deter Hamas from continuing to escalate the situation further.
The coming days will reveal what Hamas chooses. None of its options are attractive. Ultimately, its choice is between fighting for its tunnels, and risking its existence as an Islamist fighting force, complete with brigades, battalions, and command and control capabilities, thousands of rockets, and many thousands of anti-tank missiles and RPGs, or backing down.

Q: Use case for using array as ruby hash key Ruby allows using an array as a hash key as shown below:
hash1 = {1 => "one", [2] => 'two', [3,4] => ['three', 'four']}

I am not clear on what common use case for this would be. If people can share some real-world scenarios where this is useful, I would appreciate it.

A: A great example why you'd want to store arrays as hash keys is for memoizing.
This is an example of how an array as a hash key is useful:
def initialize(*args)
  @memoizer ||= {}
  return @memoizer[args] if @memoizer[args]
  # do what you will with the args in this initializer,
  # then create a new instance for the future.
  @memoizer[args] = some_calculation(args)
end

A: I think you're overcomplicating things here. It isn't that Arrays are allowed as keys, it is that almost any object can be a key. From the fine manual:

A Hash is a dictionary-like collection of unique keys and their values. Also called associative arrays, they are similar to Arrays, but where an Array uses integers as its index, a Hash allows you to use any object type.
  [...]
  A user-defined class may be used as a hash key if the hash and eql? methods are overridden to provide meaningful behavior.

Note that both hash and eql? are in Object so almost everything you'll come across will have them and so can be a key in a Hash. The default implementations may not be terribly meaningful for some arbitrary object but they'll still be there.
Sometimes generality is easier than artificially limiting your options to only those that the language designer can see a use for. Not even Java is that strict.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think you're asking the wrong question. The question you should be asking is:

Why should you be forbidden from using an Array as a Hash key?

This is Ruby where (almost) everything is allowed by default so the answer to that question is that we don't want to artificially limit your options, here's a big pile of possibilities, go do something wonderful and unexpected with it.

A: If the key has some structure, you may want to directly use that:
{
  %w[John Travolta] => :foo,
  %w[Olivia Newton John] => :bar,
}

Initial state of Othello/Reversi board
Hash.new(:green).merge{
  [4, :d] => :white,
  [4, :e] => :black,
  [5, :d] => :black,
  [5, :e] => :white,
}

A: From your example it seems like it could be used to more efficiently store large and/or sparse matrices. As you can see, if 3 and 4 both share the same values, they can be "compacted" into a single reference. There may be more formal data structures that would use this, but it's been a while since I used "formal" data structures, so I can't think of any off hand.

Orcas, also known as killer whales, are clever, family-oriented sea creatures who bear a striking resemblance to human beings when it comes to emotional intelligence. And sadly, these gentle giants are in big trouble, largely thanks to human activities of the past and present.
According to a new research study led by Jean-Pierre Desforges and published in the journal Science, there is evidence to suggest that over half of the world's orca populations may experience complete collapse or, at the very least, severe decline within the next 30 to 50 years. Of the 19 wild orca populations left in the world, this latest study predicts that 10 of them will see their numbers dwindle significantly or reach zero in the next few decades.
The main threat expected to drive this massive whale extinction event? A group of toxic chemicals called polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These dangerous carcinogenic compounds were banned in the U.S. decades ago in 1979. Yet, troublingly enough, the Desforges study revealed that they are still present in large quantities in oceans around the globe, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.
In fact, killer whale populations in this region have been found to be "heavily contaminated" with PCBs, and the lingering effects of these chemicals are now jeopardizing the continued survival of these majestic animals. Specifically, PCBs are interfering with the reproduction and immune function of orcas, plus changing their innate behaviors in ways that could be deadly.
He went on to call the results "frightening," especially given that PCBs are merely one of the many threats that orcas are currently up against. Also of great concern is the fact that populations of Chinook salmon — the primary food source for Southern Resident orcas — have been rapidly declining in recent years due to overfishing, habitat loss, and pollution. As a result, the cetaceans are starving and losing their calves at an unprecedented rate.
To make matters worse, boat traffic in the oceans is interfering with killer whales' ability to communicate with one another and use echolocation, thus making it even more difficult for them to find food.
Ultimately, the plight of orcas is being driven by a complicated web of factors, and all of them point to a dark fate for the whales in the near future. The good news is that there's still at least a little time left for us to act and give these intelligent aquatic creatures a fighting chance at remaining in our oceans.
By reducing your personal consumption of seafood, you can help end the practice of taking fish that whales depend on to live out of their natural habitats. Further, ditching single-use plastics will also go a long way in reducing ocean pollution, which will in turn benefit these beautiful whales and other creatures of the sea.
For more information on how to be a whale advocate, check out this great resource from the Center for Whale Research. And please, don't forget to share this information with your friends and family so that they can help save the whales, too!

I Was Asked To Pay N18,000 For Ambulance While My Son Was Dying, Says Father of Pupil Who Fell To His Death From Tree

The last few days have been some of the most difficult for family members and friends of Temidayo Oluwole. Since March 30, 2019 when he fell from a mango tree while trying to pluck the fruit within the premises of the school he attended in Akure, Ondo State – Ijo Mimo High School – life has not remained the same for all those, who knew him closely.
That fateful Saturday morning, the 20-year-old had arrived the school in company with other pupils preparing for the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination to attend tutorials. As a senior prefect in the academic institution, Oluwole was known and respected by all especially because he excelled at almost everything he was involved in. Things went on normally at the place that day until later when the Physics teacher named only as Mrs Kura asked the young boy to climb the mango tree within the school and pluck some of the fruits for her. In the process of carrying out the assignment, Oluwole slipped and crashed to the ground. It was a fatal fall – one that would eventually put his life in jeopardy.
The minutes that followed that incident brought utmost tension and chaos with it. Everyone was in panic. The race to save the 20-year-old's life began. Different obstacles surfaced. But by the time Oluwole eventually arrived at a health facility, time had raced ahead of him. The story had taken a different turn.
"My son would have still been alive if not for the nonchalance of the people in charge of ambulance," Bode Adegoke, a clergyman and foster father of the victim told Saturday PUNCH. "For instance, when the ambulance arrived, they asked us to pay N18,000 for fuel and another N5,000 separately for something I don't know.
"When we told them that the boy was a student and was supposed to be attend to free of charge, we were told that we had to pay by all means.
"For the fact that I wanted to save the boy's life, I had to pay the N18,000 for the ambulance and another N5,000 for fuel before they agreed to carry him to the hospital.
"By the time we got to the Trauma Centre in Ondo, his condition had worsened. Though he was attended to, he was still unconscious.
"If the ambulance had rushed him to the place on time, he could still have been alive today. Instead, those operating it were asking me to pay N18,000 while my son was dying," he said.

Describing the late Oluwole as a responsible and brilliant child, Adegoke said he would be greatly missed by all of them.
"Temidayo has been living with me since he was a toddler, his father is my younger brother.
"In fact people think that he is my biological child. He was good in all things and was very reliable. We will miss him a lot," he said.
Asked if he was going to press for charges following the boy's tragic demise, the clergyman said he was leaving everything to God as nothing could bring back the 20-year-old to life.
"If those in government wish to punish anybody for my son's death, that is for them. As for me, I have left the matter to God," he added.
Corroborating Adegoke's claim, a pupil and teacher of the school told our correspondent that indeed nonchalance on the part of the ambulance operators and medical workers at the initial places he was taken to contributed to the death of the victim. According to them, if he had been attended to promptly immediately after the fall, Oluwole could have still been alive today.
"Temidayo would have survived the accident if there was a quick response to resuscitate him at the hospitals he was taken to initially. He died as a result of delays on the way to the hospital.
"When we were informed that he had fallen down from the mango tree, initially we thought it was a mild thing but when we got there and saw blood coming out from his nose, mouth and ear, we realised it was serious.
"We didn't get an ambulance early enough to rush him to the hospital. In fact a vehicle that carried him initially also had an accident along the way.
"When the ambulance arrived and he was eventually taken to the Trauma Centre, he had started breathing abnormally.
"The oxygen at the place had some problem and by evening the boy stopped breathing. He died five hours after he fell from the tree. If he had received help on time, he would have still been alive today," one of the pupils, who asked not to be named, said.
The pupil, who is a classmate to the victim, said Oluwole performed excellently well in various activities in school and had won many prizes including in inter-schools quiz competitions. This is apart from being a good athlete in the school.
For Mrs Joseph, a care giver to the pupils of the school, the deceased died as a result of lack of necessary equipment to offer first aid treatment in the hospital he was first taken to after the incident. She lamented that when the boy was rushed to a specialist hospital in Akure, the state capital, there were no medical facilities to treat him before he was later referred to Ondo Trauma Centre where he passed away.
"The problem that we have in this state is that there are no good medical facilities in our hospitals.
"Had it been I was around when it happened, I will not allow them to take him to the state hospital, rather we will take him to another place.
"If he had received prompt medical attention immediately he fell from the tree, he would have survived it.
"When I was called, I met him inside the ambulance at the hospital with oxygen on him. I asked about the doctor, the driver said he was coming. I had to personally hold the bed on which he was lying inside the ambulance. There was no medical personnel with us inside the vehicle.
"This is very shameful. For a state like Ondo not to have health facilities that can save people's lives, it is very bad. This young life had just been wasted because those in charge have failed to do the right thing," she said.
During a visit to the Ijo Mimo High School earlier in the week, our correspondent observed how the institution still wore a mournful look following the death of one of its best pupils. Everybody around the place were seen discussing the issue in groups, wondering how the entire incident had happened. During the visit, our correspondent gathered that three other pupils of the school had also fallen to their deaths from the same mango tree in the past, raising concerns that there could be something strange about the tree.
"I think it is more of a coincidence than anything spiritual," a teacher at the school, who also asked not to be named, said. "It just happened that the pupils fall down after maybe some kind of mistake. There are several others who climb and come down safely, so I don't think there is anything strange about the tree," she added.
Unhappy at the incident, the Ondo State Ministry of Education announced that punitive measures would be taken against the teacher, who asked Oluwole to climb the tree. Commissioner for Education in the state, Mr Femi Agagu, said that the matter had been taken up by the state government and steps to prevent a reoccurrence had been taken as an order had been issued for all trees within the school compound to be cut down.
Spokesperson for the Police in Ondo, Mr Femi Joseph, told Saturday PUNCH that the command had arrested Kura for sending the victim on such dangerous errand. He said she was currently being interrogated at the Criminal Investigative Department and may face prosecution for negligence of duty.
"She (Kura) was supposed to be the parent of the pupils in the school and should not have sent the boy on such a risky errand.
"This is the reason she is more culpable, her negligence caused what happened to the boy and that is dereliction of duty. We will do justice to the best of our ability," Joseph said.

Great post! I can imagine all Huddersfield fans agree. Who do the fans want next? A short term option who may be able to keep you up (huge task that though.....might even be beyond Big Sam) or a longer term option, even if you get relegated?
Was hoping we'd be able to hang on. Quite confident for Tuesday though if you field a similar line up, Rafa will surely only be thinking about your game with Cardiff next weekend.
United 1-0 up at Spurs after an hour. Great ball from Pogba for the goal.
Inter were always going to bottle it against PSV, it's so typically Inter, especially with Spalletti in charge.
Lopetegui sacked - no surprise. What a terrible few months for him. Interesting to see who they get next.
Predictable big wins for City and Liverpool. Good result for Wolves again.
We've made a decent start back to life in the Championship, undefeated with two wins and three draws. The fixture list has been relatively kind although we did beat Brentford at the weekend who seem pretty well-fancied to have a good season.
Thought Mourinho and United might have ground out a 1-0 win last night (also bearing in mind Spurs' poor record there) but it does look like they really are in a mess. Can't see him being there too much longer..
Indeed, Dack's second in particular was quality!
City beating Arsenal 1-0 at HT.
Not gonna lie, I've never seen the guy play before haha.....he's obviously decent though. Already signed Kluivert, Pastore going forward plus the players from last season, so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem.

AARP ADDING HMOS TO INSURANCE PLANS
Louise Kertesz
The American Association of Retired Persons has taken the first step to expand the health-related products it makes available to its membership in 21 million households across the country.
The result will make a select group of HMOs and health insurers very happy.
The AARP, which represents those age 50 and older, has begun the process of choosing HMOs to offer health coverage to Medicare beneficiaries and those under age 65, opening up a vast new market for selected HMOs. Until now the AARP has never offered HMOs to its members. The group's selections would amount to a virtual endorsement of the health plans.
The AARP also has invited 18 health insurance companies to bid on long-term health insurance for its members and has asked 16 health insurers to bid on providing supplemental health insurance, including Medicare supplement and hospital indemnity plans.
The AARP Group Health Insurance Program now offers traditional Medicare supplement-or Medigap insurance-hospital indemnity and long-term-care plans to about 6 million members through Prudential Insurance Co. Last November, the AARP notified Prudential of its intent to terminate the current agreement, which runs through December 1997. The AARP invited Prudential to submit bids for its new program along with the other bidders.
When the AARP last month asked insurers to bid on long-term health insurance and supplemental coverage, Wayne Haefer, director of its membership division, said: "We are asking for innovative product ideas that will support the needs of our members." He said the association was hoping to award agreements that provide wide access as well as competitive pricing.
The AARP has decided it's time "to increase the amount of choice our members have available," said Susanne C. Bowman, the group's director of insurance services. The AARP also is responding to members' requests to have managed-care plans available to them.
HMOs "will become more important as people who are HMO-familiar age into the Medicare population," she said.
Prudential now sells Medicare supplemental coverage to more than 5 million AARP members. People buy supplemental policies to cover deductibles and other healthcare expenses Medicare doesn't cover.
Now the AARP is in the process of choosing Medicare-risk HMOs to offer as an option to its membership. But unlike some large employers, it's not the AARP's intent to encourage those members to transfer to Medicare HMOs.
More and more employers are encouraging retirees to join Medicare HMOs by paying part or all of the premium. That allows the employer to drop expensive Medicare supplemental coverage while offering enhanced benefits (April 3, 1995, p. 76; Aug. 21, 1995, p. 156). Some Medicare HMOs don't even require a premium. But they do require the enrollees to use only HMO providers.
"We're not trying to do what an employer does. We don't have cost issues. We're not trying to substitute managed care" for Medicare supplement products, Bowman said. "We want them to exist side-by-side."
One of its goals in offering Medicare HMOs "would be to provide something that doesn't exist in the marketplace today-programs with a higher level of educational materials, wellness seminars, making sure people have access to the coverage," she said.
Medicare HMOs for AARP members also would be expected to support "meaningful" dispute resolution and offer coverage for prescription drugs, she added.
"We're looking to do something different. We want to be leaders in making it a comprehensive product," Bowman said. "Portability is another big issue."
Salt Lake City-based Health Benefits America is assisting the AARP in developing a request-for-proposal to send to HMOs. HBA "helps large employers do what we are trying to do," Bowman said. The company is collecting data from which the AARP will make preliminary selections before applying AARP-specific requirements to the candidate HMOs, she said.
The organization will be sending out RFPs to health plans in phases and anticipates the first ones will go out in June or July. The AARP hopes to have commitments from six or seven plans covering 12 to 15 markets by year-end, she said.
Like large employers, "our approach is to look for the best local provider of care," Bowman said. "Most of the large carriers want to sell us on their ability to handle most of the country. That's important, but bigger is not necessarily better."
The result of the AARP's selection process will be "a very distinctive change for the association. We've never been in a multiple-provider situation before for a particular product. Our service providers are all national," Bowman said. For example, in addition to Prudential as the group's only healthcare insurer, it also chose ITT Hartford for auto and homeowner insurance; and New York Life for life insurance, she said.
While overseeing a number of HMOs nationwide will make for "a much more complicated environment," Bowman said the group will be "much more comfortable looking at local plans" for healthcare.
The AARP is looking at an HMO's "whole package," not just its medical outcomes, but other considerations such as member service and solid financial standing, she said.
Like the other products the organization offers, "we would want prices to be competitive. But we're looking at a total value kind of approach as opposed to the cheapest product," Bowman said.
Understandably, officials at the nation's largest Medicare-risk plan, PacifiCare's Secure Horizons, welcome the AARP's new tack. "We look forward to talking with them," said Craig Schub, senior vice president for government programs at the Cypress, Calif.-based plan, which now enrolls more than a half-million Medicare beneficiaries.
"We think this is an appropriate recognition that healthcare for people on Medicare has changed and that managed-care plans offer value in terms of added benefits and quality heretofore not available in fee-for-service plans or straight Medigap policies," he said.
"There is really no one-stop shop for a national membership," Schub added. "There are quality HMOs emerging in every market across the country, and quality does vary. You really have to look at who are the strong providers on a geographic basis."
Secure Horizons covers Medicare beneficiaries in California, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Washington state. It also serves beneficiaries in Massachusetts through an affiliation with Tufts Associated Health Plans.

Spacek, Duvall, Murray enjoy Atlanta sights during film shoot
Rodney Ho, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There's a reason there have been so many sightings lately of Sissy Spacek, Robert Duvall and Bill Murray around Atlanta: They're shooting a film in the area called "Get Low."
The respected actors, whose resumés are packed with classic films such as "Apocalypse Now," "Coal Miner's Daughter" and "Groundhog Day," are working together for the first time.
None are doing "Get Low" for a big paycheck. The independent film about a reclusive Tennessee man who holds a funeral for himself is being made for $7 million, a pittance compared to major Hollywood flicks.
"This is," Spacek said, "a real labor of love. Robert has really carried the torch on this one. He's the reason the film got made."
Duvall, who has deep roots in the South and family in Milledgeville, said the cast "is as good as 'The Godfather.' "
Murray was drawn by the script and the people who helped put the film together. "I couldn't find a reason not to do it," said the often elusive actor. The trio spoke in an exclusive interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution this weekend at a Cobb County hotel.
"Get Low" is seeking 1,000 or more extras in 1930s-era garb Wednesday for a shoot at Pickett's Mill Battlefield State Park in Paulding County. The scene: a big funeral party featuring live bluegrass music, drinks and food. Attendees won't be paid but will be eligible for prizes such as flat-screen TVs and autographed scripts. Go to www.getlowextras.com for details on how to participate and when to arrive.
Duvall, who plays the curmudgeon lead character Felix Bush, will have a major speaking role that day at the funeral.
"It's going to be a party atmosphere," Spacek promised. "We want everyone to have fun. I suggest people bring lawn chairs, jackets and comfortable shoes."
Murray said shooting will be "fast and furious. We'll be making a lot of movie in a short amount of time. This is the climax of the film. A lot of stuff happens." He also had a request for potential extras: "Come with some jokes!"
All three have been sampling the food and entertainment in the area in their off time.
Murray, who claims a golf handicap of 11, said he and fellow actor Lucas Black played 18 holes at East Lake Golf Club Friday. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to play it," he said. "It was so much fun. We played the 18th hole from the back tee. What a hard hole!"
Duvall tried the Ghetto burger from Ann's Snack Bar, dubbed by the Wall Street Journal as America's best."I had to wait awhile but I was impressed," Duvall said. (He's also been to eateries ranging from the Vortex to the Buckhead Diner to Bones.)
Spacek rented a car with a GPS, found a nearby Whole Foods and hit the malls. She plans to visit the Georgia Aquarium before she leaves. The film is scheduled to end its shoot later this week.
Murray said most of his shooting days have been overcast or wet — and the weather was equally dismal on the golf course Friday. "People call this the sunny South?" he said. "That's about as big a lie as April in Paris!"

What a fabulous six days. Caught and released at least 30 King Salmon (25-35#), many red salmon and numerous char to 4 ½ #, 7 bears sighted within 50 yards, 1 bull caribou within 50 feet many bald eagles, Sandhill cranes and the local camp ground squirrel. Weather was 55-70 degrees.
The most fantastic fishing trip I have ever experienced. I can only add to the comments of Bob Jr. Your facilities were super, the food was excellent, your flying outstanding. We really enjoyed our stay with you!
Came up with my brother to experience the "Great Alaskan Experience" - and got plenty of that and more. The fishing - Well over 30 kings in four days. Wildlife viewing - 13 bears, moose and caribou. The food - home cooked meals any grandma could have been proud of. Best of all the people that make it happen. Gary, Rudy, Cinder and Johnny. Gary, the flight into the crater and up the valleys are memories I soon will not forget.
The best, absolutely the best. My thanks to Rudy for his hard work and perseverance. Thanks to Gary for your ability and knowledge to put it together and make it work – perfectly. I hope you take this as the ultimate compliment - "we will be back."
This was my first "Northern Exposure!" What a blast! I will definitely carry this experience with me for the rest of my life. And should it fade I will have a magnificent trophy King Salmon looking down at me to bring me back to the thrill and keep the spirit alive.

War broke out between two warlords. The conflict of both leaders, Mohamed Aideed and Ali Mohamed, ultimately led to suffering for the country's residents. Thousands were killed or wounded as a result.
Warlord Ali Mohamed became President per his own declaration.
Another year passed and the state of Somalia hadn't improved. The residents hadn't found a way to resolve their conflicts and lack of governmental stability. Thus, it was decided in the western hemisphere that intervention was needed. This led to the intervention of the US Marines within the region. The US Marines took residence outside the country's capital, Mogadishu. Their involvement was required prior to the arrival of the United Nations peacekeeping force within the chaotic state. Their duty was to restore order and protect the relief supplies provided.
Hundreds of thousands of Somalis were suffering primarily because of disease, starvation, and/or civil war. Images of this made it across televisions on the other side of the world through American media. The sitting United States president felt the pressure and compelled to provide emergency assistance through food and supplies. The United States was given approval by the United Nations to provide protection of the supplies from the warlords.
The intervention by the US troops hit a bump in the road. Conflict arose as US rangers were killed as a result of an attack. It occurred with the Somali militias shot down two of the United States' helicopters. Thanks to this spark in conflict, hundreds of Somalis died.
The conflict between the United States armed forces and Somali militia continued until the mission formally ended in 1994. The end of the mission served as a $1.7 billion dollar loss to the United States with 43 of their soldiers suffering a fatal death. It was totaled that about 153 soldiers suffered wounds from varying degrees.
The United Nations peacekeepers consequently left a year later as well. The continuous conflict between the countries and their forces is a prime example of the value of the mission. It was decided that the mission was a failure for the United Nations personnel.
The past three years of attempts locally and internationally were showing to be successful. The extreme fighting between local major factions were slowing down and becoming less intense. It seems like the intervention by the United Nations and efforts by local peace initiatives proved to be fruitful.
Somalia's suffering was met with a temporary reprieve during this year. The summer of 1996 was marked with the assassination of faction leader and military commander Mohamed Farah Aideed. He died of wounds sustained from a rival attack. This was something that numerous agencies within the US government failed to do. He was succeeded by his son, Hussein Aideed.
The northeast region of Somalia, Puntland, officially declared its autonomy.
About 250 miles west of Mogadishu, African country Ethiopia forces invaded GarbaHarre. Forces invaded in an attempt to dissolve the constant fighting among rivaling groups.

New Beginnings: Moving On
By Johanna Nield
Romance | Paperback, eBook
Johanna Nield
Health scares, misunderstandings and uncertainties bring more challenges for Tasha and Jamie in this new chapter of their lives. Sequel to "New Beginnings" by the same author.
I'm a happily married, young-at-heart Welsh grandmother. After almost two decades in the Civil Service, I now work full-time for a national children's charity, a challenging and sometimes heartbreaking job that I love. I have a wide range of interests and don't know how to be bored. I began writing for pleasure in primary school and writing has been a life-long passion, but it is only in the last five years or so that I have started to share my work. After completing a fictional trilogy in 2009, I felt that my dreams of becoming a published author had reached the "now or never" stage so in March 2010 I began to share the first book, "New Beginnings", with authors and readers online. I also created a website, a blog, a Facebook page, and a Twitter account, all of which have helped news of my book to reach a wider audience. In June 2010 I launched an ebook version of "New Beginnings" on Amazon; it's now a delight, and a dream come true, to be able to add the paperback version to my profile there, as well as two further titles in the series. My books are dedicated to the tireless workers of HeadwayUK, Action for Children, Cruse, and the myriad of charities that support our society in a thousand different ways, every day of the year.

Eero Aarnio is a Finnish designer who was one of the first to create furniture from fiberglass and plastic. Aarnio studied industrial design at the University of Helsinki. In 1962 he founded his own company as an industrial and interior designer.
As new materials, fiberglass and plastics came to characterize Aarnio's designs, providing almost unlimited potential to create new shapes, colors and designs. His Thunderball armchair was presented in 1966 at the international furniture fair in Cologne and launched Aarnio's international career. Aarnio's basic premise was that "A chair is a chair, is a chair, is a chair ... but a seat does not necessarily have to be a chair." This thought was expressed in his design through fundamental geometric elements such as the sphere and the ellipse.
Over the years Eero Aarnio has garnered several international and Finnish awards, including the International Design Award of the American Institute of Interior Designers in 1968, Kaj Franck Design Prize, 2008 and the 2010 Pro Finlandia prize.

The world's largest independent semiconductor foundry, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), has attributed its high performance for the third quarter of 2017 to surging demand for cryptocurrency mining hardware.
TSMC was founded in 1987, and was the world's first dedicated semiconductor foundry. TSMC claims to be the largest independent semiconductor foundry in the world, with its clients including Apple Inc., Broadcom Corporation, and major graphics processing unit (GPU) manufacturers Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). In March of this year, TSMC's market capitalization surpassed that of semiconductor giant Intel, reaching a market cap of $168.4 billion. Many of TSMC's customers also manufacture application-specific integrated circuits, including those designed for cryptocurrency mining.
2017 witnessed global shortages of graphics cards due to a surge in cryptocurrency mining activities. Whilst demand for GPUs for bitcoin mining had been relatively high between 2010 and 2013, the release of ASICs for bitcoin mining has shifted the bitoin mining market away from GPUs.
The skyrocketing altcoin prices of early 2017 inspired an unprecedented spike in demand for GPUs. The increased demand led to international shortages in graphics cards.
In order to manage demand from cryptocurrency miners and avoid alienating their gamer customer-base, many GPU manufacturers began to produce purpose-built GPUs designed primarily for mining. Hong Kong-based Sapphire Technology became the first company to bring GPUs purpose-built for cryptocurrency mining to market, launching GPUs that do no feature display ports, in late June. Asus and Nvidia quickly released their own purpose-built mining GPUs, launching GPUs that featured only a single display port.
Do you mine using GPUs, or ASICs, or both? Tell us why in the comments section below!

What would the impact be if our entire university unified behind a shared value for one week?
As a comprehensive, flagship university, UofSC boasts an incredible breadth of expertise. Yet creativity touches every discipline.
During the week of Feb 18-22, 2019, all teaching faculty are invited to devote one class period to exploring how creativity intersects with course content. This might mean studying how creative thinking has historically shaped the topic, or challenging students to thinking differently by exploring unfamiliar, unconventional solutions for the future.
Beyond the intrinsic value of such lessons, the act of a large university faculty connecting to a common theme is powerful. It tells a story about a value, while emphasizing that we are stronger when working together than in silos.
Our goal is to have broad participation from across campus, representing every college and a high percentage of faculty. Participating is easy.
Be a part of this USCreativity story!
