Would the real Branden Jacobs-Jenkins please stand up? Throughout half a dozen plays, the restless, talented writer has flaunted a genius for polymorphous perversity. His output includes absurdist neo-minstrelsy (Neighbors), meta-historical race melodrama (An Octoroon), pitch-black workplace comedy (Gloria) and metaphysical family drama (War). His next move—of course—was to update the 15th-century English morality play Everyman.
To be fair, satire runs clearly through Jacobs-Jenkins's sensibility as well as a fascination with the ways in which blackness is appropriated and defamiliarized on stage. In Everybody, characters argue about racial insensitivity and political correctness, but that almost feels like a red herring. This time, the writer is chasing a bigger, faster-moving target: mortality and morality.
In the source play, God enlists Death to call Everyman to account for how he lived his life. Terrified about facing extinction alone, our allegorical hero turns to family, friends and even anthropomorphized possessions for companionship as he travels to the other side. Each rejects Everyman in turn, until he is left with only his five senses to face the grave.
For this very meta and saucy adaptation, Jacobs-Jenkins neutralizes gender and randomizes the casting: Five actors who, we're told, memorized the entire script (Brooke Bloom, Michael Braun, Louis Cancelmi, David Patrick Kelly and Lakisha Michelle May) are assigned their roles by lotto-style Ping-Pong balls. The night I attended, Cancelmi played a fittingly gaunt and grim Everybody, whereas the radiant Bloom was fair-weather Friendship. As God and Death, Jocelyn Bioh and Marylouise Burke keep the eschatological humor in high gear.
Apart from the cast's charm and visual coups engineered by director Lila Neugebauer (Giant, glow-in-the-dark dancing skeletons! A surprise Beckettian wasteland!), the 100-minute experiment feels overlong and talky. Jacobs-Jenkins introduces voiceovers and inner monologues, perhaps to vary Everyman's schematic structure, but the extra verbiage blunts any philosophical edge. Lord knows we don't need a "faithful" revival of this theatrical fossil (it came a century before Ben Jonson, for pity's sake), but I'm not sure this slangy, digressive gloss adds much substance. Stranded between cosmic earnestness and a collegiate urge to interrogate weird old texts, Everybody has trouble holding onto a fixed identity.
Pershing Square Signature Center (Off Broadway). By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. Directed by Lila Neugebauer. With ensemble cast. Running time: 1hr 40mins. No intermission. Through Mar 19. Click here for full ticket and venue information.

Bio/social/neurological view to depression Mental pain makes sense, it awakens our sense that something is wrong and needs addressing – Johann Hari's Ted Interview sets out the causes of depression and so how it can be tackled thinking about it in terms of social, biological, evolutionary and autobiographical factors. Some interesting ideas for organisations/leaders about how a lack of autonomy for employees can increase depression and anxiety. It also makes the case for not relying on antidepressants as a long term solution.

A Community First Responder scheme is a locally managed group of volunteers who are trained in basic life support and the use of a defibrillator, and attend potentially life-threatening emergencies.
First Responders do not replace the emergency services, but do increase the chances of a patients survival.
In an emergency you would still dail 999 and the ambulance service would contact the first responders on call ( there are usually a minimum of 6 trained responders who work on a rota ) at the same time an ambulance/ helicopter would be dispatched. The First Responders would be able to reach the emergency quickly and ensure the patients survival until the paramedics arrive.
First Responders will receive 2 days of training, including Respiratory and Airway Management, Basic Life Support, Defibrillation and other medical related emergencies.
First Responders can save lives.
and an apple and a pear tree at No,3 Ruigh'reabhach (now Samadhan), That is all there were! It is hard to imagine now, when there are over 70 people resident and many stands of fine trees, In place of the trees there was cropped grass, heather and rushes; and from every dwelling you could see the pier and 'the other side'!
strung between posts in varying stages of decrepitude, The posts kept us in firewood for some months.
collect it and deliver it with the post.
up, the line broke, and the sheets landed in the mud!
How it was then and how it is now came together for me last year, when I came over for a visit, Martin had come over to the pier to ferry me, and had brought David for the ride, On the way back I noticed how like Alan Martin is when at the helm, A quirk of the light, with Martin and David against the sun and it could have been me in the boat 23 years ago with Alan at the helm, and Martin beside him, for the ride.
and all that there is, is here.
and more lights are seen from the other-side.
It is a question of time and not living here anymore.
Pier Extension: Agreed that dredging should go ahead as soon as possible to see if this solves the problem of this winter's silting at Scoraig pier. If this turns out to be only a short-term solution, Aggie and Ewan will have started looking at options for an extension. It was felt that any extension should be as simple and therefore as cheap as is practical.
Scoraig.com. Hugh was thanked and congratulated for his work in setting up the new website. This will cost £90 to run this year, cheaper in subsequent years. Agreed to charge e-mail users £10 p.a.
Road Works: There is still £1,000 to be spent with the present funding, and future funding from Highland Council will depend on all of this having been spent. Hugh has printed subcontractors timesheets so it's easy to put in a bill. It was noted that the quality of material extracted from the new quarry by the lighthouse isn't great, and hoped that Chris will soon get his license back to produce aggregate. The Council has offered to give us a digger for a couple of months. Ewan, Bill and possibly Bev, Martha and Kevin (the three known road workers) will survey the entire length of the track to note the priority sections.
I've always felt a degree of responsibility for the track as it passes through my croft, and don't mind doing a bit of ditch clearing or pothole filling. After all I'm a road user, mostly on foot but I get my post and groceries by vehicle. I've looked on my free labour as a mild, voluntary, form of road tax.
But now I'm in a quandary. If there's money to pay a road mender, should I stop? Should I put in an invoice for my hours? If I stop, how long will I have to wait for the road mending team to get along to Ruigh'Riabhach? Do the road menders feel put out of work by my amateur efforts?
Meanwhile the rain falls, the potholes get deeper. The Council money sits waiting to be claimed.
looking for a career in road mending? Apply to the SCA today.

Really nice review, thanks. I learned a few new ones, agree with all your other choices.
yes, exactly what the world needs another list of open source mac software with NOTHING NEW to add to the hundreds already out there. And to top it all you dont even have any google adverts on the page to gain any revenue from this blatant waste of time and effort.
Great list, gave me some new apps to check out.
One suggestion, though– Mozilla also has a browser called Camino, designed specifically for OS X. I've found it is on par with Safari in terms of speed (which was my biggest problem with Firefox on my mac) while still retaining some much beloved Firefox features.
@Brian: Glad you liked it!
@john: Sorry you didn't! What kind of topics would you like to see instead?
@Jose: Zipeg looks pretty neat – thanks for the suggestion.
@Ange: Good call, thanks! I use Camino occasionally, and it is very nice. I like the way it integrates nicely with the OS. However as a web developer I find I use Firefox mainly due to all the useful add-ons available.
Is there a reason why Mac users seem to always leave out SeaMonkey? -It's free open source.
@Mike: Thanks for your suggestion! I used to use Seamonkey on Debian a while back. Do you find it better than running Firefox/Thunderbird/ChatZilla as separate apps? I seem to remember the various components integrating quite nicely.

Hey, hey, give 'em what they want
If lust and hate is the candy
If blood and love taste so sweet
Then we
We give 'em what they want
–10,000 Maniacs, "Candy (Everybody Wants)" from Our Time In Eden, 1992
What's the matter here? (Warning: mature subject matter.) My mom asked me a disturbing question yesterday. She went to a high school play last night. The storyline went something like this: a young lady with no self-esteem meets a young man. His attention turns her around. They have an affair. She continues the affair, but decides to have one-night stands with whoever comes along, just for fun. In the meantime, the guy meets another girl, who's a lesbian but admits being attracted to him. He's devastated when he finds out his girlfriend is sleeping around, then becomes enraged, so he rapes and kills the lesbian, then commits suicide.
My mom's question was this: Was this subject matter inappropriate for high school students?
My answer was absolutely. Were this storyline made into a movie, it would probably get at least an R rating right off the top because of the subject matter alone, regardless of language or nudity. In high school, there are people aged 13 in attendance–unless it happens to be a 3-year high school (I don't remember if high school starts at 9th or 10th grade there). At any rate, this isn't appropriate subject matter for 14-year-olds.
For another, it's one thing to talk about rape for instructional purposes–here's the definition, here's why it's bad, here's how to avoid it. Sure, a 14-year-old needs to be aware of that. So I should probably clarify. This isn't an appropriate form of entertainment for 14-year-olds. Not to mention younger, pre-high school siblings who might be in the audience for whatever reason. A high school production needs to be appropriate for general audiences, or at least rated PG–particularly in a day and age when school newspapers are censored. Though I suspect the objectionable material in many school newspapers is not of social issues, but rather calling the administration into question (that was the case when I was editing my high school paper some 5 years after the Kuhlmeier v. Hazelwood decision ). But the courts have decided high schools don't have freedom of the press, so appropriate editorial material continues to be why chewing gum in class or running in the halls is bad. Meanwhile rape and murder are appropriate forms of entertainment in school plays, because that's not journalism. It's art. (Supposedly. Though as I read Kuhlmeier v. Hazelwood, the case applies because the play, like a newspaper, is a school-sponsored activity.)
But legalities aside, what I'd like to know is why anyone would choose this subject matter for entertainment, period. It's sick. But then again, so is our society.
But just because we have loose politicians and loose civic leaders and we're losing our sense of morality, does that mean we have to use the combination of rape, murder and suicide as forms of entertainment? Give me a break. If someone were to record a rock album telling this story, Tipper Gore would be up in arms. If a mainstream movie or TV show were to take this subject matter, there'd be protests on both the left and the right. I believe in art and free expression as much as the next guy (I'm a professional journalist, after all, and I've dabbled in fiction writing and songwriting as hobbies) but I also believe in observing the boundaries of good taste and age appropriateness.
But what do I know? I'm just an old-fashioned Christian with a sense of decency, whatever that means, who understands insecure people because he's been one himself, who fails to understand the purpose of parading the story of two very insecure and unstable people plus a confused lesbian in front of a bunch of teenagers, many of whom are probably insecure and confused themselves (because isn't that the definition of teenager? It was when I was that age, and that wasn't all that long ago–the song I quoted was a popular song when I was 17).
You know what? I don't think I want to understand.

Tytanozaury (Titanosauria) – grupa zauropodów żyjących od późnej jury do końca kredy, obejmująca jedne z największych lądowych zwierząt w dziejach.

Morfologia
Tytanozaury miały stosunkowo małe głowy, nawet w porównaniu z innymi zauropodami, a przy tym szerokie, podobne do głów wielkich jurajskich dinozaurów, jak kamarazaur i brachiozaur, ale bardziej wydłużone. Nozdrza duże z wyrostkami kostnymi na nosie. Zęby małe o kształcie łyżkowatym lub kołkowatym.

Szyje stosunkowo krótkie jak na zauropody, ogon przypominał bat choć nie tak długi jak u diplodoków. Miednica szczuplejsza niż u innych zauropodów, obszar klatki piersiowej dużo szerszy dający im szeroką pozycję. Ichnoskamieniałości tytanozaurów są powszechniejsze niż innych zauropodów. Przednie kończyny były krępe, ale krótsze od tylnych. Kręgi były pełne w środku, podobnie jak u pierwotniejszych Saurischia. Kręgosłup elastyczniejszy, co prawdopodobnie dawało im większą zwinność od ich krewnych.

Z odciśniętych fragmentów skamieniałej skóry wiadomo, że była częściowo opancerzona, pokryta mozaiką małych jak koraliki łusek wokół większej kostnej płyty. Odkryto jeden gatunek pokryty kostnymi płytami, jak u ankylozaurów.

Choć niektóre osiągały ogromne rozmiary, inne były stosunkowo niewielkie. Występowały formy skarłowaciałe na odizolowanych stanowiskach – prawdopodobnie wynik specjacji allopatrycznej.

Odżywianie
Mamy pewne wskazówki co do diety dzięki odkryciu skamieniałych odchodów skojarzonych z późnokredowymi tytanozaurami, które zachowały się dzięki nasyceniu krzemionką fragmentów roślin. Odżywiały się sagowcami i drzewami iglastymi. Odkrycia opublikowane w 2005 ujawniły szeroki zakres roślin jednoliściennych włączając palmy i trawy (Poaceae), w tym przodków ryżu i bambusa.

Gniazda
Gniazdo tytanozaurów odkryto w Auca Mahuevo, w argentyńskiej Patagonii. Nieduże jaja, około 11–12 cm średnicy, zawierały skamieniałe embriony, z odciskami skóry (brak śladów piór i skórnych wyrostków na kręgosłupach). Prawdopodobnie kilkaset samic saltazaurów wykopało gniazda i zniosło jaja, po czym przysypało ziemią i roślinami. Dowodzi to występowania zachowań stadnych, które – podobnie jak pancerze – pomagały zauropodom w obronie przed atakami dużych drapieżników, takich jak abelizaury.

Zasięg występowania
Tytanozaury były ostatnią liczną grupą zauropodów przed kredowym wymieraniem i ostatnimi wielkimi roślinożercami swoich czasów. Skamieniałości sugerują, że zastąpiły one inne zauropody, jak diplodoki i brachiozaury, które wymarły między późną jurą a środkiem kredy.

Rozprzestrzeniły się z południowego kontynentu Gondwany (Ameryka Południowa i Australia). Niekompletny kręg ogonowy z Wyspy Jamesa Rossa dowodzi, że w późnej kredzie tytanozaury zasiedlały również Antarktydę. W Ameryce Północnej jedynym przedstawicielem był alamozaur. W 2006 r. w Australii odkryto kości największego na tamte czasy dinozaura z grupy tytanozaurów – Australotitan cooperensis. Jego wysokość oszacowano na 5–6,5 m, a długość na 25–30 m.

Among the most successful leaders throughout history—from Abe Lincoln to Rosa Parks, Mahatma Gandhi to Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King, Jr. to Nelson Mandela—some were brilliant mathematicians and economists, others were creative visionaries, still others were masterful at strategic planning. Their mastery of their field wasn't the secret to their highly effective leadership. All of their skill, grit, resilience, charisma, and courage emanated from one thing: their strength of character.
Character—the moral values and habits of an individual—is in the spotlight now more than perhaps at any other point in modern history. Politicians distort facts. Corporations cheat customers and investors. Athletes are caught using illegal supplements. In addition to harming our culture at large, these failures of character have a profound and undermining impact on leadership.
The authors of this book are experts on the value of character, its correlation with successful leadership, and how to build it in individuals and prospective leaders. General Robert L. Caslen, Jr. served the US Army for over 43 years and served as Superintendent at the US Military Academy at West Point. Psychologist Dr. Michael D. Matthews is a Professor of Engineering Psychology at West Point who has focused on the psychology of character for years. Together they witnessed firsthand that raw talent is not enough to stand on its own; successful leadership relies on the critical foundation of a strong character.
In The Character Edge they leverage their perspectives to offer an empowering, story-driven argument—backed by the latest scientific research—that character is vital to success. They give readers the tools to build and sustain character in themselves and their organizations by testing readers' strengths of the gut, head and heart and teaching how to build trust and nurture the seeds of character.
Reviews Book Excerpts About the Author
Praise for The Character Edge
"The Character Edge is a unique and valuable book because it combines the battle-tested leadership lessons of General Caslen with the perspective of Professor Matthews, a senior behavioral scientist. It is both substantive and wonderfully readable, packed with stories—many of them quite moving—backed up with serious research."—Forbes
"The Character Edge is inspiring and practical in equal measure, drawing upon both scientific research and personal experience in how, and why, to develop strengths of heart, mind, and gut. Only Mike Matthews and Bob Caslen could have written it."—Angela Duckworth, CEO of the Character Lab and bestselling author of Grit
"If you ever aspire to effective leadership, whether at the tactical or strategic level, you'll soon learn that the most important ingredient in effective leadership is character. Bob Caslen and Mike Matthews have captured this truth in both theory and application with moving and insightful stories and personal experiences. This book will both challenge you and motivate you to lead a life of integrity and honor, and in so doing, inspire the men and women you lead to the highest achievements they never thought possible. Bob and Mike have something very, very important here. I hope it goes viral in a big way."—Admiral William H. McRaven, US Navy (Retired), former Chancellor of the University of Texas and bestselling author of Sea Stories: My Life in Special Operations
"General Bob Caslen and Dr. Mike Matthews have done a great job illustrating why character and excellence are the most important elements in effective leadership. I have always believed that character and excellence go hand in hand, and this has always been the formula for our teams that win. Bob and Mike are proven leaders of character, and their examples and principles are what I have used my entire career."—Mike Krzyzewski, head Men's Basketball Coach at Duke University
"The Character Edge artfully combines scholarly research and practical experience in an interesting, persuasive way. I think character matters more today than at any time in my memory. Bob Caslen and Michael Matthews get it right."—General Martin E. Dempsey, US Army (Retired), 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, author of Radical Inclusion: What the Post-9/11 World Should Have Taught Us About Leadership
"The world needs leaders with strong character more than ever, and The Character Edge will show you how that is done in two institutions that carry the trust and respect of all Americans—the United States Military Academy at West Point, and the United States Army. This book is a must read for anyone who aspires to live a life of character."—General (Retired) Raymond T. Odierno, 38th Chief of Staff of the United States Army
"We believe it is the quality and character of the leader that determines the results. In The Character Edge we discover a blueprint for instilling values-based leadership to achieve significance and success."—Frances Hesselbein, Chairman, The Frances Hesselbein Leadership Forum; Former CEO, Girl Scouts of the USA; Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient
"As school administrators, be it at the state, local and campus levels, we have much in common with the sacred responsibility of military leaders, especially in light of what LTG (Ret.) Caslen terms the 'Bank of Public Trust.' Caslen and Matthews give compelling illustrations of how trust accounts must be cherished and nurtured overtime and modeled consistently with 'deposits of competence, character and caring.' As educators and public servants there is much we can draw from the stories, the exquisite scholarship and the 'right way' lessons found throughout The Character Edge."—Mary M. Keller, Ed.D., Former President & CEO, The Military Child Education Coalition
"In The Character Edge, Caslen and Matthews offer the definitive guide to how individuals and organizations may build and utilize positive character to flourish and win. Corporations who 'get' this message excel, those that do not will fail in the long run."—Indra Nooyi, Former Chairman & CEO, PepsiCo
"Blending behavioral science with lessons learned in the crucible of military service, Bob Caslen and Mike Matthews have written a leadership book that is both timely and timeless. They examine the complex nature of character in both individuals and organizations with vivid examples from the military, sports, education and business. In a time of polarization and incivility, the authors have created a how-to manual for counteracting these destructive forces in ourselves and our institutions."—Stefanie Sanford, Chief of Global Policy & External Relations, The College Board
"What determines the importance and long-lasting impact of leadership? Lieutenant general and former West Point superintendent Caslen and psychologist Matthews examine the qualities of character that make a leader worth following . . . [their] combined experience culminates in a fascinating study of leadership."—Booklist
HAVE GOOD CHARACTER, DON'T BE ONE
I am aware that a man of real merit is never seen in so favorable a light as seen through the medium of adversity. The clouds that surround him are shades that set off his good qualities.

Newspaper, bloggers stunned by killing in Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) ? The killing of a Mexican woman purportedly in retaliation for her postings on an anti-crime website has left stunned chat users and employees at the newspaper where she worked wondering who can still be safe in the violent border city of Nuevo Laredo.
Press freedom groups condemned the killing of Maria Elizabeth Macias, whose decapitated body and head were found Saturday next to a message citing posts she wrote on "Nuevo Laredo en Vivo," a website used by Laredo residents to denounce crime and warn each other about drug cartel gunfights and roadblocks.
Some bloggers vowed to keep up the fight against powerful drug cartels but warned users to trust no one.
"If we want to regain our peace and our freedom, we always have to fight on, I wouldn't ask anybody to take up arms, clearly, but with our reports, we can do them damage," said one poster logged on as "anon9113," who quickly added a note of distrust, "don't become friends with anybody on here … we have to be careful with something as simple as giving out personal information."
Another poster agreed. "Exactly, this (Macias' death) should not be in vain, we should make it an example." Others said that despite the risk, they would continue reporting. One user posted that he had seen four drug-gang lookouts in a compact car near a gas station, and gave part of the car's license plate number.
Macias had previously been identified by an official in Tamaulipas state as Marisol Macias, who had worked as a newsroom manager for the Nuevo Laredo newspaper Primera Hora. But an editor at Primera Hora said Monday that Macias was the daily's advertising supervisor. The editor would not give his name for security reasons.
The editor said the killing apparently was not related to Macias' job at the daily, which, in the face of intimidation and threats by drug gangs, had stopped even reporting on drug violence two years ago.
"We were taken by surprise, because since about two years ago, we don't even do crime reporting," said the editor. "We don't have a crime reporter."
He said police have not talked to the paper, nor given it any information on the killing. The paper, according to weekend editions posted on its website, has not even reported on her death.
Nuevo Laredo, located across the border from El Paso, Texas, has been dominated for about the last two years by the violent Zetas drug cartel.
Mexico's Human Rights Commission says eight journalists have been killed in the country this year and 74 since 2000.
With local newspapers forced to avoid crime reporting by threats and violence in many border cities Mexicans have increasingly turned to local online chat sites like "Nuevo Laredo en Vivo" to report and read about cartel activity.
The site includes numbers to phone in tips to police and the military, and report the location of cartel lookouts.
The message found next to Macias' body on the side of a main thoroughfare Saturday referred to the nickname she purportedly used on the site, "La Nena de Laredo," or "Laredo Girl." Her head was found placed on a large stone piling nearby.
"Nuevo Laredo en Vivo and social networking sites, I'm The Laredo Girl, and I'm here because of my reports, and yours," the message read. "For those who don't want to believe, this happened to me because of my actions, for believing in the army and the navy. Thank you for your attention, respectfully, Laredo Girl…ZZZZ."
The letter "Z" refers to the Zetas.
It was unclear how the killers found out her real identity; the newspaper editor said he did not know, but some posters on the site reflected the current climate of distrust, suggesting it could have been through someone she worked with.
The gruesome killing may be the third so far this month in which people in Nuevo Laredo were killed by a drug cartel for what they said on the internet.
Earlier this month, a man and a woman were found hanging dead from an overpass in Nuevo Laredo with a similar message threatening "this is what will happen" to internet users. However, it has not been clearly established whether the two had in fact ever posted any messages, or on what sites.
"As Mexican citizens, including journalists and media, are increasingly turning to new technology in the face of rampant censorship, drug cartels are using violence to control information on the Internet," Carlos Lauria, the Americas senior program coordinator for the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists, wrote in a statement. "The stability of Mexico's democracy will ultimately depend on the restoration of the media's ability to report the news without fear of reprisal."

"Remember" is a simple tool made to correct collective memory errors.
just one single mistake – the expression "Polish death camps".
To make the world remember that there were no Polish death camps.
Only German Nazi concentration and extermination camps.
e all have witnessed, many times, how Polish victims of German war crimes have felt drastically humiliated by this expression - above all, former prisoners of German concentration camps and prisons.
What's worse, we've also seen many examples of how this lie has caused confusion in the minds of young people from other countries, ready to believe that those death camps were established and run by Poland and Poles. This allows the perpetrators to triumph, and condemns their victims to humiliation once again.
Janusz Barszcz, Director of Gross-Rosen Museum in Rogoźnica.
The "B" in "Arbeit macht frei" inscription above the Auschwitz gate is said to be welded upside down in a prisoners' silent protest against the Nazis' cynical lie. Let the inverted "B" remember the world that the words can distort and insult the reality.
If you see the expression "Polish death camp"
to help avoid falsifying history in the future.
"polish death camps" or "polish extermination camps".
The tool finds incorrectly used phrase, underlines it and suggests correct replacement.

Mauro Icardi is reportedly close to signing a new contract with Inter worth €7m a season.
According to Sport Mediaset, Inter owner Zhang Jindong and his President-son Steven personally stepped into negotiations with Icardi.
The broadcaster explains they offered the striker a €7m salary and a €180m release clause for foreign clubs, valid from July 15.
Consequently, it now considers the Nerazzurri captain putting pen to paper 'a mere formality' as 'the white smoke is getting closer'.
Icardi's agent-wife Wanda Nara claimed earlier in the month that a new deal was 'far away', but her remarks since then have been more optimistic.

Dismantled is the product of an experiment that began in late 2000 by Gary Zon, who was attempting to create something similar to Front Line Assembly's sound. After overwhelming positive feedback from online listeners, Gary began further sonic construction by drawing influences from television, movies, and music as well as adding vocals into the mix. The resulting sound was a unique blend of very melodic, yet complex mix of layered electro-industrial merged with trance elements. This dark, brooding, futuristic ensemble yielded more and more positive feedback, while comparing it to Front Line Assembly, Haujobb, Wumpscut and Velvet Acid Christ.
Dismantled's first and only demo release came in March of 2001 through mp3.com. Demo Variation was sent to labels and radio stations; coinciding with the launch of . After four months of waiting, the demo caught the attention of Dependent Records, who released the track "Purity" on their Septic II compilation along side of such bands as Apoptygma Berzerk, Front Line Assembly, and VNV Nation among others. In late October 2001, Metropolis Records contacted Zon and expressed interest in working with Dismantled.
In 2002, another Dismantled song, "Survivor," landed a place on the Dystopian Visions Resist the Command 2 compilation, and Dismantled won a re-mix contest for Wumpscut's "Wreath of Barbs." Gary also added two new supporting members to the live line-up; Shawn Kilmer on Keyboards and Matt Kurczodyna on bass. The self-titled debut of Dismantled was released June 4th on Metropolis Records for North America and Dependent Records for Europe. Several media publications named Dismantled the electronic newcomer of the year for 2002.
Dismantled's 2004 sophomore release, Post Nuclear, set a new standard for aggro-electro. Not only were there aggressive and edgy songs, but also tracks with a softer side that help to offset the release. Atmospheric layers drenched in crunchy synths, distorted beats, growling vocals, clean melodies, and cleverly hidden samples highlighted the different aspects of Post Nuclear.
After the success of the critically acclaimed album Post Nuclear, Dismantled released 2005's Breed To Death EP as a preview of what was to come. A fusion of 80's, electro-clash, and trance alongside traditional electro elements and harsh synthetics, the title track was meant to exaggerate and stereotype the new wave of electro, as well as balance the edge and complexity inherent in Dismantled's music. The buzz that the EP created was astounding.
With such high expectations for the 2006 album, Dismantled took tedious care in creating a monumental and poignant release. The result became Standard Issue. There is nothing typical about this album. Dismantled has created a whole new set of standards that he and other bands will have to strive to meet from now on in order for them to produce an album that will receive more than a fleeting glance. From the fast paced floor killers of "Get it Through," "Breed to Death" and "Attention" to the quiet elegance of "Standard Issue" to the 80's influenced "Preset," Standard Issue will keep you listening from start to finish - not only with the amazing song structures, but with the lyrics as well. A digital only single for Anthem was also released.


This periodical interaction with the objects of his conflicts sustains the inner turmoil, keeps the narcissist on his toes, infuses him with the intoxicating feeling that he is alive.
The narcissist perceives every disagreement - let alone criticism - as nothing short of a threat. He reacts defensively. He becomes indignant, aggressive and cold. He detaches emotionally for fear of yet another (narcissistic) injury. He devalues the person who made the disparaging remark.
By holding the critic in contempt, by diminishing the stature of the discordant conversant - the narcissist minimises the impact of the disagreement or criticism on himself. This is a defence mechanism known as cognitive dissonance.
When the disagreement or criticism or disapproval or approbation are public, though, the narcissist tends to regard them as Narcissistic Supply! Only when they are expressed in private - does the narcissist rage against them.
The cerebral narcissist is as competitive and intolerant of criticism or disagreement as his somatic counterpart. The subjugation and subordination of others demand the establishment of his undisputed intellectual superiority or professional authority.
Alexander Lowen wrote an excellent exposition of this "hidden or tacit competition". The cerebral narcissist aspires to perfection. Thus, even the slightest and most inconsequential challenge to his authority is inflated by him. Hence, the disproportionateness of his reactions.
Take, for example, the narcissist's family. Narcissists often instruct, order, or threaten their children into hiding the truth of abuse, malfunction, maladaptation, fear, pervasive sadness, violence, mutual hatred and mutual repulsion which are the hallmarks of the narcissistic family.
"Not to wash the family's dirty linen in public" is a common exhortation. The whole family conforms to the fantastic, grandiose, perfect and superior narrative invented by the narcissist. The family becomes an extension of the False Self. This is an important function of these Sources of Secondary Narcissistic Supply.

How to stop a pellet plant explosion
Oct. 11, 2017 – One single ounce of oxygen. That's all it would have taken for an explosion to have occurred at Pacific BioEnergy's Prince George, B.C. facility in August 2017.
October 11, 2017 By Tamar Atik
A silo smouldering issue was safely put out at Pacific BioEnergy in Prince George
It was Thursday, Aug. 24 when chairman and chief executive officer Don Steele found out that one of the wood pellet fuel company's silos began smoldering overnight.
Steele was hosting a group of seven guests who had flown from Nagoya, Japan for a tour of the facility.
"I advised them," he explained. "I said we could go up and have a look. We might even go on the property and they wouldn't see much. But, at that point in time we were evacuating," Steele said.
Although reported as a fire in mainstream media, the incident was a smoldering situation.
Wood pellet consultancy company FutureMetrics' John Swaan founded Pacific BioEnergy Corporation in 1994. His direction on-site is one of the main reasons why an explosion didn't take place.
What was the winning solution? Nitrogen injection.
In an industry where the potential for explosions is all too common, this was the first time that a North American pellet operation successfully put out a smouldering issue.
"We have a number of incidents that have happened in our industry, mostly in Europe, that have not gone successfully," Swaan said.
"There were some references that I shared with Don and his key people on-site," Swaan recalled from the day. "And then his VP of operations gathered his key people around and took a look at what the options might be and looked at the references," he explained. "I shared the report about how best to handle these [situations], that was done in a research centre in Sweden."
"So we did some calculations, and based on those calculations, a decision was made with Don and his people to say 'OK, let's bring in the nitrogen.'"
"A simple reaction would be to try and open [the silo] up to put out the fire, which would have been catastrophic," Steele said. "Any oxygen entering would have been disastrous. It was a tremendously risky proposition."
The silo holds 3,500 tonnes of pellets. Steele said that's the energy equivalent of about 10,000 barrels of oil. The incident had the potential to have the entire surrounding city evacuated.
The nitrogen injection equipment was brought to the facility from neighbouring Alberta within eight to 10 hours. Alberta's oil fields have prompted the province's first responders to be prepared for fire suppression missions to prevent explosions.
The smouldering material in the silo was injected with nitrogen for a few days until it was safe enough to remove in small amounts. The nitrogen arrives as a liquid and needs to be turned into a vapour.
"I think the first principle of it is, liquid nitrogen is an inert gas," Steele said. "In other words, it can't explode or burn. So you use it to push the oxygen out of the container and then try and seal it off. We tried with foam and various things, but once you've got the oxygen content below a certain level, [about] 10 per cent, you've minimized the risk of an explosion. So then you can start pulling the material out."
"We basically wetted it down, and over a course of seven days eliminated the risk, moved the material out, quenched the fire risk and then stockpiled it over in another part of our property," Steele said.
"I think the key thing is nobody overreacted… I don't even think there was a Band-Aid."
Swaan and Steele said the cooperation between industry and first responders was what ensured a safe outcome.
"This kind of incident has the potential of major, major injury. Our people knew how to safely handle the material and the first responders and fire department knew how to look after our people to keep them out of harm's way," Steele said. "They had the respiration equipment, they had the fire hoses, they had the ability and the technique for putting out a fire. Our people knew how to move the material through and safely evacuate the silo."
Half a million dollars-worth of material and product was destroyed and a lot of equipment was damaged, but Steele says everybody's safety makes the situation a success.
"It's a happy beginning actually, because we're beginning now to refit and add to our knowledge of our product and how to handle it," he said. "And I think the whole industry is going to learn something from it too."
"I say anything that can be fixed with money is not a problem. You can't fix people with money, particularly if they're severely injured or killed."
"It's not a matter of 'if' [a silo fire could happen] it's 'when,'" Swaan said. "But the good news is that we now as an industry have a lot of new learnings. We have experience that we can now share with the industry so that we can make it a safer industry for these types of situations."
Steele said, "The key thing is, think before you act, use other information, use your judgement, move deliberately, keep everybody safe."

Q: Pull twice to show notification center or control panel? Recently, I am trying to fix issues of my app after release of iOS7.
One of the most annoying problem is about the pull-up control panel: since my app has pull up menu, apparently, the pull-up gesture triggers control panel simultaneously.
However, I found some apps are not affecting by this issue cause they need to pull twice to show the control panel, such as Slideshark. When user perform a pull-up gesture, the menu shows up with a "pull up tab" at the bottom of the screen(see red rectangle).

So the user need to pull up again to trigger the control panel.
I do not think pull-up menu is a good idea in iOS7, but this seems temporarily fix the problem. Anyone know how to do this?
Hubert

A: You'll get this behavior automatically when you hide the status bar in your app.
This question explains ways to hide the status bar on iOS 7: Cannot hide status bar in iOS7
(You can do it on a per view controller basis, or for your entire app at once.)

He was talking about his back, not his game.
One day into his most recent return from injury, that's what mattered to him.
Woods opened with two straight bogeys, made five more bogeys in a seven-hole stretch around the turn at tough Congressional and finally found his groove late in the opening round of the Quicken Loans National for a 3-over 74.
Woods was tied for 83rd — only 19 players had a higher score — and he will have to score better Friday if he wants to avoid missing the cut for the first time in two years.
Congressional had a lot to do with that.
Two weeks after a U.S. Open that had no rough, Congressional made it feel like one. Any shot just off the fairway was buried, making it difficult for even the powerful players to reach the green on some of the longer par 4s.
Greg Chalmers finished with three straight birdies for a 66 and a one-shot lead over Ricky Barnes and Freddie Jacobson. Defending champion Bill Haas, Patrick Reed, U.S. Open runner-up Erik Compton and Tyrone Van Aswegen shot 68. Compton birdied his last four holes.
Only 26 players in the 120-man field broke par.
This day, however, was all about Woods.
He has been golf's biggest draw since he turned pro in 1996 and accumulated 79 wins on the PGA Tour and 14 majors. He won the last two times he played Congressional, in 2009 and 2012.
Even with an early start, the gallery lined the entire left side of the 218-yard 10th hole, with hundreds of others watching from the patio and veranda of the famed clubhouse at Congressional.
Two holes into Woods' opening round, they had reason to ask: We waited three months for this?
But it wasn't just Woods. He played with Jason Day and Texas-ex Jordan Spieth, and that trio of top-10 players combined for six bogeys in two holes. All three of them were in the fairway on the same hole one time the entire round — on No. 11, the hardest at Congressional, and only because Day's tee shot ricocheted off a tree.
Day had a 73, while Spieth shot 74.
Champions Tour: Joe Durant, David Frost and Doug Garwood sprinted to the early lead at the Senior Players Championship, shooting 6-under 64 at defenseless Fox Chapel. Still drying out after days of steady rain, the par-70 layout in suburban Pittsburgh offered little resistance. Frost and Garwood breezed through their rounds without making a bogey, and Durant offset his lone bogey with seven birdies.
European Tour: Danny Willett and Rafa Cabrera-Bello shot 8-under 64 to share the lead in the BMW International Open in Cologne, Germany, while local favorite Martin Kaymer opened with a 71 in his first round since winning the U.S. Open.

Numerical study of helicopter rotors in a ship airwake
Crozon, C., Steijl, R. and Barakos, G. N. (2014) Numerical study of helicopter rotors in a ship airwake. Journal of Aircraft, 51(6), pp. 1813-1832. (doi:10.2514/1.C032535)
Operating helicopters in a naval environment is challenging because it imposes a pilot workload significantly higher than that during land-based operations. The aerodynamic interaction between the aircraft and the ship wake is known to play an important role in increasing the pilot workload, hence reducing the aircraft capability as a result of maintaining safety. As a further step toward numerical prediction of ship/helicopter operational limitations, computational-fluid-dynamics simulations are conducted for the Canadian Patrol Frigate. The effect of the rotor is included in the simulation, first using an actuator-disc method together with steady calculations, then using rotor blades and the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. Results using the actuator-disc method demonstrate the importance of coupling effects on the wake and rotor inflow when the rotor is operating close to the ship and therefore the invalidity of superposition methods. The case of a Sea King helicopter main rotor hovering above the deck just before touchdown is reproduced to overcome the limitations of steady calculations and the actuator-disc method. Predictions of rotor thrust compare well with the experimental data available and give confidence in the results. The findings highlight the differences in rotor loading between forward flight and near-deck operation. The possibility of using such simulations for determining safe flight envelopes is discussed as part of the future work.
