Looking for options to complete a Practice Improvement Project? Find out if your institution is a sponsor of the ABMS Multi-Specialty Portfolio Program, or learn more about becoming a sponsor.
Log in to your MOC Homepage today to update medical licensure status, view and report CME credits, pay annual fees, view self-assessment options and self-assessments completed, or view practice performance options and submit projects.
The ABMS MOC Directory offers a variety of options for self-assessment (SA) CME with varying time commitments and price points. Self-assessment is a unique type of Continuing Medical Education (CME) activity in which diplomates self-test to identify knowledge gaps, learn material, and then test again to demonstrate learning.
If you hold dual certification and are participating in the MOC program of another ABMS member board, you can get ABPMR MOC credit for self-assessments and/or practice performance projects completed through that board by providing verification.
Did you know you can get CME just for recertifying? After you complete all MOC requirements and recertify, you may apply for 60 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The first requirement for maintaining your ABPMR certification: Professional Standing.
The requirement is met by holding a current, valid, and unrestricted license to practice medicine - which means the physician is upholding the professional requirements of that license. However, ABPMR standards of medical professionalism go beyond licensure.
Maintaining your certification means keeping up with the latest in the field – and periodically assessing your own knowledge.
Lifelong learning comprises continuing medical education (CME) credits and self-assessment (SA) credits, which should be accumulated from a variety of sources on an ongoing basis.
This component of maintaining your certification involves demonstrating that your knowledge – proven at the point of achieving board certification – has remained current with advancements in the field.
Currently, knowledge, judgment, and skills are demonstrated by passing a secure Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Examination once every 10 years. In 2018, ABPMR is starting a pilot project to test whether a longitudinal model of much smaller, low-stakes assessments with spaced repetition meets ABPMR goals for this component of MOC.
All physicians are continually making small changes to improve some aspect of their practice – whether related to office efficiency, improving patient care, enhancing communication, or other improvements.
This component of MOC is about applying measures and timeframes to those improvements to demonstrate how they impact your practice.
Who Participates in MOC, and What's the Fee?
The ABPMR implemented its Maintenance of Certification Program in 1993. Since then, there have been a few major changes to the program as the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) implemented standards for all member boards.
All ABPMR diplomates certified in 1993 and later are required to participate in all parts of the MOC Program. In addition, any ABPMR diplomate holding any ABPMR subspecialty certificate is required to participate in all parts of the MOC Program for that subspecialty (this requirement is currently being phased in at each diplomate's subspecialty recertification).
The current annual fee for all ABPMR diplomates participating in MOC is $200, which helps to cover the cost of administering the MOC Program. This includes maintaining the database that tracks diplomate information, researching and piloting MOC Program innovations (such as CertLink ™), and providing customer service when diplomates have questions or concerns.
The requirements for your MOC Program are based on the year you were certified or recertified. Find out more below.
When you pass the ABPMR Part II Examination, you've earned your primary certification in PM&R and are automatically enrolled in the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Program. But because the program has evolved since its inception in 1993, ABPMR MOC Program requirements vary based on the year you were certified or recertified.

Military's cyberwar on terrorists: cronyism, corruption, and waste
January 31, 2017 6:30 pm - NewsBehavingBadly.com
Your tax dollars at work:
Early last year, the government opened the bidding on a new counter-propaganda contract — separate from WebOps— that is worth as much as $500 million. Months after the AP started reporting about the bidding process, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service told the AP that it had launched an investigation. NCIS spokesman Ed Buice said the service is investigating a whistleblower's "allegations of corruption" stemming from how the contract was awarded.
The whistleblower's complaint alleges multiple conflicts of interest that include division officers being treated to lavish dinners paid for by a contractor. The complaint also alleges routine drinking at the office where classified work is conducted. The drinking was confirmed by multiple contractors, who spoke to AP and described a frat house atmosphere where happy hour started at 3 p.m.
One of the most damning accusations leveled by the whistleblower is against Army Col. Victor Garcia, who led the information operations division until July 2016, when he moved to a new assignment at Special Operations Command, also in Tampa. The whistleblower contended that Garcia successfully steered the contract to a team of vendors that included a close friend's firm. The whistleblower requested anonymity for fear of professional retribution.
[su_center_b]
The AP obtained a screen-grab from a Facebook page that shows Garcia and the friend at a tiki bar in Key Largo two weeks before the winning team was officially announced Sept. 30. The photo was also turned over to NCIS investigators by the whistleblower, who said the photo created a "clear impression and perception of impropriety."
Garcia, a West Point graduate and decorated officer, denied any wrongdoing and described the complaint as "character assassination." Garcia, who moved to his new post two months before the contract was decided, said he scrupulously avoided any discussions about the contract with both his friend and his former deputy. His former deputy served on the five-member panel that reviewed all of the bids.
"Because I was aware of these conflicts of interest, I intentionally kept myself out of that process — with any of these contract processes," Garcia said.
The whistleblower is a senior manager at a company that lost its bid for the work. He told AP that he was investigated for attempting to accept kickbacks on an unrelated government contract. He denied the allegations, which were made four years ago, and no charges have been filed in the case.
This is just the first disturbing revelation in a huge investigative AP report now posted to Salon.

Football News: Review Of The Day 8th July 2019
Aleksandar Mitrovic has signed a new 5 year deal with Fulham despite their relegation at the end of last season.
AS Roma have sold Stephan El Shaarawy to Shanghai Shenhua for around £18m.
Former Crystal Palace, Cardiff City, QPR, Birmingham City and Watford midfielder Jordon Mutch has been released by Korean side Gyeongnam FC.
Eibar have signed Roberto Olabe from Atletico Madrid.
Granada have released Raul Baena.
German striker Dennis Eckert has been released by Celta de Vigo.
Mikel Rico has joined Huesca from Athletic Bilbao.
Fiorentina have signed Italian goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano from FC Empoli.
Genoa have sent Argentine striker Claudio Spinelli on loan to Gimnasia.
Marko Arnautovic has completed his move to Chinese Super League team Shanghai SIPG from West Ham United for a fee over £20m.
Teenage left-back Mitchel Bakker has joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer from Ajax.
Gerrard Dismisses Buy Option
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has dismissed rumours that there is a buy clause in the loan contract of midfielder Ross McCrorie to Portsmouth. Gerrard has insisted that the 21 year old still has a bright future with the Glaswegians saying: "There's no deal for him to go there permanent," Gerrard told Rangers TV. "It is a development loan. He told me he was desperate for 40-50 games and I agreed with him. I think that'll be really good for his development. I could have been selfish and kept him here as a squad player, but maybe being a squad player won't develop him or move him along as quick as we want. Portsmouth is a good club, Kenny Jacket plays the right way, the fans are demanding there and that will prepare him very well for the future here. He's our player and we want him here for a long time and we want to help him get to the next level. Hopefully he'll come back with 40-50 games under his belt, a better player ready to challenge the lads who've got the shirts. He's certainly one of ours and I've got big plans for Ross McCrorie."
Hands Off Morelos Warns Gerrard
Steven Gerrard has warned potential suitors off Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos, saying it would take "a really big offer" for Rangers to consider selling him. Gerrard said: "If he did end up going, he would be impossible to replace with days or weeks to go in the window. A million per cent, it won't happen late, that's for sure. So, if someone wants to spend a lot of money on a centre-forward and they want my centre-forward, they will have to come early. I can't control the speculation, but as a club we haven't got a decision to make because a bid hasn't come of any sort. Does anyone want Alfredo Morelos? I don't know, I can't answer that question, but if they do, they best bring a really, really big offer."
Last Chance Saloon For Mikel
Former Chelsea midfielder Jon Mikel Obi has confirmed this will be his final AFCON tournament as the Nigeria captain admits he is considering retiring from international football immediately after the tournament. Mikel said: "It's been an amazing ride for me in the national team. Thirteen years I think is enough. I've won trophies, I've had a lot of amazing time. I think it's time for these young guys to carry on. I'm mostly here in Egypt to support the young guys and make sure they're on the right track. I think my presence is always important for them, hopefully I can finish with the trophy."
Uganda Seek New Coach
Uganda has begun the search for a new national team head coach after Sebastian Desabre left the role following the country's exit from the Africa Cup of Nations. Uganda lost 1-0 to Senegal on Friday in the last-16, their first time in the knockout stages since 1978, but it was not enough for Desabres to hold on to his job.
Villa Agree Mings Fee
Aston Villa have agreed a £20m fee with Bournemouth for defender Tyrone Mings. Mings spent last season on loan with Villa, helping them to promotion back to the Premier League and is now set to complete a permanent move to the Birmingham side.
Egypt Sack Aguirre
Mexican coach Javier Aguirre has been sacked by Egypt after they were dumped out of the AFCON in Egypt by South Africa in the last-16. Egypt were pre-tournament favourites but lost 1-0 to a South African side seen as major outsiders. The South Africans had won just one match and lost 2 as they scraped through to the knockout stages.
Pogba Heads To Far East
Despite wanting to leave Manchester United and missing training this week, Paul Pogba has travelled with the squad to the far east for the club tour of Australia, Singapore and China. Fred and Matteo Darmian are yet to travel but are expected to join up with the squad later.
Brazil Lift Copa America
Despite the sending off of Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus, after he had scored and assisted, Brazil, unsurprisingly, beat Peru to win the Copa America 3-1, to give Brazil their first Copa America title in 12 years. Jesus had shown why he is such good friends with Neymar, as he reacted just like Neymar to his sending off with tears, followed by lashing out and kicking a water bottle and then pushing over the VAR monitor as he left the pitch.
Griezmann No Show
Antoine Griezmann has failed to turn up for pre-season at Atletico Madrid as the French striker looks to leave. Griezmann had warned that he would not turn up prior to the weekend. "Griezmann had an official summons to be at the club at 20.30 this Sunday and when he did not present himself, we opened a file and will study the case. He is under contract with our club until 2023 and must resume training tomorrow like all the other players."

The Angel's Trumpet (Brugmansia) is a tree-like shrub that produces large beautiful trumpet-shaped blooms.
Angel's Trumpet (or Angel Trumpet—the names are used interchangeably) is native to South America, where it grows in its natural flowering shrub form and often reaches heights up to 20 feet and more.
The plant is often mistakenly referred to as a tree because, as it grows and matures, the stems develop a grayish bark-looking exterior that causes the Angel Trumpet to take on more of the appearance of a small tree rather than that of a shrub.
The enormous blooms, which are the main reason for the plant being cultivated in the home garden, occur in a variety of colors from white to orange to yellow to shades of pink and red.
In addition to the beauty of the colors, the flowers of the Angel Trumpet are also very fragrant, adding to the plant's appeal as a desirable addition to the home and patio garden.
The plant can be started from seeds or by means of cuttings placed in water until roots start to develop before transferring to a soil-filled container.
If you do choose to grow your Angel Trumpet plant in a container for the patio rather than planting directly into the garden, be sure you use a sufficiently large pot as the Angel Trumpet will grow very quickly to a large size and require plenty of room for its roots to expand and feed. Also, set the pot in an open and sunny location on your deck or patio to allow adequate space for top growth and spread.
The Angel Trumpet is a perennial. It can be cut back to a low height late in the year and brought into the garage or basement, where it is allowed to over-winter in a largely dormant state, before being brought back outdoors the following spring to begin another growing and flowering season.
Be sure the plant is rooted in nutrient-rich soil, and water and feed the plant on a regular basis as the spring growth begins. The plant will grow rapidly and produce many blooms if fed and tended properly.
Prune into desired shape as the shrub grows; pruning stimulates growth and encourages the production of those giant blossoms.
The Angel Trumpet is a member of the Nightshade family of plants that includes tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant. All of the flowers and fruits of this family have at least a low level of toxicity; in this way, the plants protect themselves from insects and other potentially damaging pests.
However, not only are the flowers of the Angel Trumpet toxic, the entire plant is actually toxic, and it is recommended that gardeners wear gloves when dealing with this plant. Care should also be exercised if small children or pets are expected to be in close proximity to the Angel Trumpet, so that they not unsuspectingly ingest any part of this plant.
The history of this plant ascribes to it hallucinogenic powers, and a number of deaths have been caused from those ingesting the plant (especially the blossoms) as a tea while seeking a "high." It has sometimes even been referred to as the Angel's Trumpet of Death.
Enjoy the plant for its beautiful and fragrant blossoms, but be cautious.

FIRST OF MAY
Divisoria, at 3 o'clock in the morning, would be abuzz with its usual hustle and bustle; wholesale dealers negotiating the day's selling prices with regular customers, some of whom are public market stall merchants and pushcart vendors.
There would be loads of fresh vegetables and fruits off the trucks from Batangas and Tagaytay farms, as well as produce from the merchant ships docked at the nearby piers, which sailed from China, Taiwan and other Philippine islands.
Mang Domeng, by 5 o'clock, would have already picked out and paid for a stock of fine seedless red watermelons (or whatever fruit would be in season at that time) that he would peddle on his pushcart. His regular customers live in the high-fenced mansions of the affluent New Manila, in Quezon City. After making his usual rounds, he would settle under the shade of an acacia tree along Gilmore Avenue where motorists would stop and buy the rest. By two o'clock in the afternoon everything should have been sold. He would then head on home.
He lived in one of the squatter shacks along the railroad near the Blumentritt Station. He was quite popular among the residents of this area; sought after for his insight and unbiased advice by both the young and old. Although asked by many to run as their Barangay chairman, Mang Domeng would much prefer a headache-free life as a pushcart vendor.
Not much was known about his past. Neighbors only heard bits and pieces about his wife and two kids having perished in a fire while Mang Domeng worked in California as a migrant farm worker. He would be evasive but the sadness revealed by his eyes would discourage anyone from further probing into his private life. Eventually, Mang Domeng's affable demeanor and down-to-earth wisdom won over the entire squatter neighborhood; it was soon considered disrespectful to badger him with personal questions.
Mang Domeng loves the fruit business; enjoys peddling them and meeting people from various walks of life. Most of those he had befriended would miss him during the wet season when the punishing rains would prevent Mang Domeng from making his daily rounds. Money becomes even scarcer during this time of the year, especially in his impoverished neighborhood. Mang Domeng, generous to a fault, would cook a pot full of lugaw or macaroni soup to share with the neighbors. A gift of some cash would be given to friends with toddlers to buy their baby formula.
Most folks were amused to notice that although Mang Domeng would be broke every now and then like most of them, he never seemed poor at all. He always managed to lead a decent life with respectable though humble means of income. Somehow Mang Domeng was able to generate an income from other efforts during the rainy season.
One beautiful day of May, there was a small crowd gathering around his pushcart; excited over the yellow and green mangoes that filled his cart. Afraid that his entire stock would be sold out before Mang Domeng gets to their streets, some of his regular customers, would get in their cars and meet Mang Domeng at Balete Drive right off E. Rodriguez Avenue where he would usually start each morning.
So on this morning with his pushcart full of the season's first harvest of Zambales mangoes, Mang Domeng was busily bagging a purchase when someone suddenly called out his name – his full name, Domingo, not Mang Domeng. He was starlled.
He looked up and saw this nicely dressed portly woman about his age. It took him a couple of more seconds before he recognized Celing, his wife's best friend who had married an American and moved to New York's Long Island. He hasn't seen her since they saw her off at Manila International Airport more than thirty years or so ago.
Over coffee that following Sunday at Starbucks in Roxas Boulevard in front of the U.S. Embassy, Celing shed tears after hearing about the details of her best friend's tragic death along with her two children. Mang Domeng confessed that his inability to cope with that devastating loss led him to alcoholism and ultimately, a derelict life. And it was the patience of their mutual friend, Carding, a priest, who tirelessly watched over him until he regained a grip on his life. It took almost ten years, but he did it.
As if apologetically, he admitted to Celing that he wasn't the perfect husband as perceived by many. Sure he was working as a migrant farmer in California to provide a better life for his family, but the truth was, he went abroad to somehow recapture his once single life. And whatever money he sent home, it was a mere fraction of what he spent on almost nightly drinking and carousing.
It took the death of his family and losing everything he had to make him admit what a selfish clod he truly was; always out for himself. Ever since pulling himself out of his destitute predicament, he has learned to give; whether being of service to others or sharing what little he has with those with none. He told Celing that giving not only help others, it creates more for the person doing the giving. What he got most out of it was self-forgiveness and subsequently, inner peace.
Celing appreciated Mang Domeng's candor. She also admired his having gone through and survived a challenging ordeal. She remembered what her mother used to tell her: With adversity comes astonishing insight.
Celing then told him that her American husband, a successful real estate developer, died of a heart attack seven years ago; they were childless. Her husband, during the Vietnam conflict, was exposed to certain chemicals or gas which caused him to become sterile. And although her husband left her with a lot of money, including sizeable real estate holdings, the loneliness after his death has become progressively unbearable. Celing recently went back to Manila with the hope of meeting someone she could spend the rest of her life with.
A year after that auspicious day in May, Mang Domeng and Celing were married at Mt. Carmel Church in New Manila. The wedding rite was conducted by their childhood friend, Father Alonzo, known as Carding to them. The reception was held at a rented mansion in Quezon City which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Mang Domeng invited many of his friends from the old squatter neighborhood, as well as friends from Divisoria; whereas, Celing invited her ritzy friends from New York and New Manila.
That night, there was no economic divide between the guests; the love that permeated the festivities wrapped them all as one. The abundance of delectable food and great dance music spurred on the celebration until the wee hours of the morning. A great time was had by all.
The couple opened a wholesale fruit business in Divisoria. They also have a fleet of pushcarts that Mang Domeng had assigned to old friends from his old neighborhood. On weekends, they're usually found in their fruit farm in Batangas. They also spend two months every year in Celing's sprawling mansion along New York's Long Island Sound.

Colombia and Senegal Battling for Victory in World Cup 2019
27 June 2018 at 02:20 GMT By Dewa Nugraha
The World Cup 2018 is reaching its critical stage with the final group game being played and one of the potentially most exciting encounter are Colombia's battle against Senegal.
Battling for that spot in the last 16 will certainly make the encounter an exciting one, not only for football lovers but also for those who are keen on placing their money in this tournament.
Aside from placing their cash for the upcoming match, those who are keen on playing some games while anticipating that exciting World Cup 2018 match can always try online slots, such as what being offered by SlotAdviser.com, that provide many fun entertainment.
Getting back into the important group H game, both sides must grab all three points if they keen on advancing, since a draw might not be enough, especially for Colombia.
The South American side lose their opening game against Japan and that result puts them under this difficult situation of having to beat Senegal before even dreaming of the last 16 ticket.
Their fine performance in their second group game against Poland, certainly boosted Los Cafeteros' confidence as they believe that they have the quality to overcome their opponent.
James Rodriguez, Radamel Falcao and Juan Cuadraro will remain as key players for Jose Pekerman's side against their African counterpart, as those three can create tons of problems for any teams.
Nevertheless, one thing that Colombia should remember is keeping their discipline in tack and not making stupid decisions which put them in trouble, such as the early sending off they picked up against Japan.
As for Senegal, picking up four points from their first two games in this World Cup, is not such a bad thing, but knowing the tight competition going on their group, the African side must get at least a point from Falcao and co.
Successfully beating Poland on their first game showed the promise that Aliou Cisse's men can offer, but their draw against Japan on the next tie, pretty much opened their weaknesses to the world.
Cisse certainly hope that his players can regain the kind of performance they put up on their opening fixture, as only strong display might be enough in overcoming Colombia.
Checking out on the latest odds indicating that Colombia are being tipped to take all three points from that final group game with the odds for their success being placed at 1.833.
As for Senegal, their shot in securing a victory is set at 4.50. which is slightly lower compared to a potential draw result, which is placed at 3.65.

Unfazed by warm-up defeat Tigers gear up for World Cup
Sports Live: Despite their 95-run defeat to India in the last warm-up game, Bangladesh remained calm as they didn't take the defeat seriously, considering it as just a mere practice game.
While the ICC Cricket World Cup, the cricket's biggest carnival rolls on to the ground from tomorrow (Thursday), Bangladesh will get down to their business on June 2 (Sunday) by facing off South Africa at The Oval.
Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza said there is nothing to be worried in just one defeat and urged his side to keep faith on their ability. The captain believes his side has already coped with the condition of English, which keeps them in good stead.
"We had a few matches in Ireland so we've spent about four weeks here. So I believe we have coped with the condition already" Mashrafe said after the last warm-up game.
"Nothing to be worried with just one defeat. Our top order is scoring some runs and Soumya got few fifties, Liton played well and Mushfiqur is consistent. Hopefully our top order will continue to score," he added.
Mashrafe used nine bowlers and didn't give any bowlers to bowl more than eight overs, which clearly indicated that he wants experiment ahead of their first game in the cricket's biggest extravaganza.
"We had a few niggles, like with Shakib and some pace bowlers so we can't take risk. I also had a hamstring issue, Mustafiz had a calf issue and Shakib also had a bad back spasm last week," he said.
Despite the defeat Bangladesh could search motivation from their past record. Ahead of 2015 World Cup, they lost their both warm-up games and even ahead of tri-series tournament in Ireland in which they lifted the trophy as unbeaten champions, they lost their warm-up game to a second strong Ireland side.

It seems like adults are forever asking kids what they want to be when they grow up. It sometimes strikes me as odd. Are they really supposed to be thinking about that already? Then again, I guess it's just conversation. I ask my son sometimes to just to see where is head is at these days. For a while the answer was fire fighter, then police officer. Then for a while it was guy who drives the little train at the zoo.
I admit that last one worried me at first. What if he doesn't have high aspirations? He's already 6 and in no time he'll be 30 and have a house payment. I kid, but it did get me thinking. Would that really be so bad? It's an honest living. It makes people happy. You get to wear cool overalls and a kickass hat. Then there's the whistle. Who doesn't want a job with a whistle?
It got me thinking about the definition of success. I don't think it's about the college he goes to or the prestige of his job. I came up with this-I want him to be happy. I want him to contribute to society in a meaningful way, big or small. I want him to make the world a better place.
Today I knew he would be successful.
Today Hudson gave every cent he has saved since birth to the Penny Drive at school. He gave every cent to help some kids at his school go to the Special Olympics this spring. Just because he wanted to.
I worried at first he wanted to do this because the classroom that raises the most money wins a party. I want him to give, but I want him to give for the right reasons. I told him that I didn't mind him giving it all away, but he shouldn't do it if it was just to win something. I reminded him that he might give everything away and still not win the party. Would he be ok with that?
I stopped talking. He took a Ziplock bag up to his room, opened his piggy bank and took all the money out. He put it in the bag and brought it down.
I wondered if he would change his mind in the morning. He didn't.
"Did you pack my money?" He was beamed at how heavy his backpack was. I told him I was proud of him and he shyly looked away.
Although I wanted to, I didn't take his picture with his bag of change because he's extremely shy and doesn't like his picture taken. I couldn't talk about it too much because he doesn't like that either and asked me to stop. But as he carried his heavy backpack down the hall to class I saw him smile.
He was happy. He helped make the world a better place. He was the very definition of a success.
Wow! You are doing something right...!


Is Separation from Wholeness Intentional?
Isn't wholeness best? Shouldn't I strive for wholeness? Are we not better together than apart? Don't I experience the universe as it really is?
From my bubble of limited awareness perspective, yes, I do and no, I don't. It depends on how I consider the universe – as literal or figurative. What if my literal "universe" of sensual perception is my imagination of concepts that appear as "hard" reality?
Because my imagination figures so prominently in deriving meaning from perception, my "reality" may be at once literal and figurative. Duality!
Perhaps the initial separation from wholeness is a realization of duality. That happens in the digital world when one recognizes two conceptual states: 1 and 0, "is" and "is not." In this duality, I can contrast one concept to the other. This because, in a binary system in which only two states exist, I can define one state in terms of its complement. 1 = not 0, 0 = not 1.
This fundamental difference between 1 and 0 is the essence of the concept of duality, which I define as the contrast between two concepts. The contrast between something (1) and nothing (0) represents the fundamental concept of limitation. That because, in duality, neither 1 nor 0 is everything; each defines the other.
How do I apply duality?
The essence of physical perception is differentiation, the ability to recognize a difference. I compare some perceptual "thing" against its environment. That requires sufficient contrast for my senses and brain to recognize a difference. To the degree I recognize the difference between a thing and not that thing, me and not me, I have experience.
For example, I hear your words because I can separate and contrast them from the background of other sounds. Then, I make sense of your words by translating vibration into concepts I compare with other concepts. Without duality, there can be no perception because there would be no points of comparison.
In my world of duality, I'm continually comparing everything I experience between what I believe is "right" and "not right." I compare my concepts of "me" to "not me." Every thought is a comparison to other thoughts.
In this limited universe, I can only conceptualize infinity in terms of the finite. I comprehend something (1) and not something (0) because I can contrast them to each other.
All that "is not" complements that which "is." For example, the rose I perceive on my desk is complemented by all that is not the rose.
What if separation from wholeness is intentional?
Who is this "I" then?
Because the concept, "I," can distinguish itself from the concept of totality – oneness – it can experience the universe from a perspective. Considering how tenaciously the concept of "I" holds onto this perspective, one might venture a hypothesis that the concept "I" intends to experience life by setting itself apart from ALL. It's intentional!
Perhaps that intention will continue until this consciousness that differentiates as "me" from "not me" stops. Perhaps then, a perspective will return to the pool of all perspectives from which it came.
Is there more than duality? What's beyond the rose?

Sri Lanka Tigers killed one civilian fleeing fighting: army
March 28, 2009 (AFP) – Sri Lanka's military on Saturday accused the Tamil Tiger rebels of firing at civilians fleeing fighting in the north of the country, killing one and injuring two. Amnesty said the Tigers were holding civilians hostage and were "reported to have deliberately attacked civilians that have tried to escape from areas under their control."
The government estimates some 70,000 people remain inside.
On Thursday John Holmes, the UN's top humanitarian official, estimated that 150,000 to 190,000 civilians were trapped by the fighting and could not escape, resulting in dozens of deaths each day.
Sri Lanka says the LTTE must first lay down its arms before any ceasefire. It has accused the rebels of using such truces in the past to rearm and regain strength. It said the shooting took place as 381 men, women and children fled the war zone on Friday and sought shelter in government-controlled areas.
Sri Lankan troops have boxed the rebels into a tiny strip of jungle along the island's northeastern shoreline.
Since the beginning of January more than 55,000 civilians have escaped Tiger-held areas, according to the military.

Girl Up Teen Advisor
Dear Tammy: You Were The Good News On Tuesday
Dear Tammy,
You're my first female member of Congress. A woman has never served as a Representative for my congressional district, and the last time Illinois had a female Senator was 1999 -- the year I was born.
Until now, I'd never had a person elected on the federal level who shared my gender. I watched the fights over Planned Parenthood and the Affordable Care Act from a distance, too young to vote, hoping the men elected on my behalf would make the right decisions for women.
You were good news on Tuesday night. The only Senate seat to switch from red to blue, from a state in a sea of red electoral votes. I'm proud of the way my state voted, but it might not be enough for the next four years. I'm scared for what new gun policies might mean for violence in Chicago, and what education laws may mean for public schools. I'm worried about my classmates and neighbors who have pre-existing medical conditions. I don't know what will happen to the refugee kids I tutor, my LGBT friends, my Muslim friends, my black friends.
That uncertainty--rather than outright dread--exists because of people like you. When I was advocating for the Girls Count Act, I dropped in on your DC office with a group of girls from Illinois. You were on the Congress floor for a vote, but the energy of the two women staffing your office was tangible. We were genuinely listened to, which, as high school-aged girls on Capitol Hill, was a rarity.
It may be hard, but I need you to continue to fight for us, like you did then. I'm putting faith in the women who won, and the elected men who support them. On Wednesday, Secretary Clinton told the girls of our country to "never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams." That happens when we are represented. You are our representation now, and I hope others will follow.

When it comes to your business, the need for identity and access management (IAM) is unquestioned. You must protect the security of your business and your data from cyber attacks. The question is, do you generate those security protocols from within, or do you find an established IAM provider for your managed identity and access management solutions? We think you will find that professional IAM managed services are the clear choice.
Cost-Effectiveness – A good identity and access management system will run mostly on its own once it is set up. This means your in-house IAM team will often have nothing to do. You could re-purpose current employees to handle IAM tasks, but that means you will have to take them away from their current duties — both to train them on identity and access management and to use that training when necessary. With managed identity and access management solutions, you only pay for the services you need when you need them, with no loss of employee work time.
Efficiency – A strong managed IAM provider can get your identity and access management protocols up faster and working more efficiently than you are likely to get to on your own.
Skills – Even if you divert valuable time and resources to training and/or hiring an in-house identity and access management team, they are unlikely to have the level of knowledge, skills and training that a quality managed IAM provider will have. A good managed IAM services company will have highly trained, experienced, qualified and certified personnel managing your system. There will be no need for you to bring on extra employees or give up the time and capital to train internal employees on IAM practices.
Focus – Whatever your business is, it's not identity and access management. Why not let the professionals focus on protecting your business while allowing you do to what you and your company do best?
IP – If you train in-house employees on your identity and access management practices, when those employees move on, whether they are let go or choose to leave, your cybersecurity protocols go with them. You will have to completely rework your IAM system as well as rely on the good nature of that employee — who might not always be leaving on the best of terms. When you use a managed IAM service provider, your security data is always in the hands of a trusted source whose reputation for protecting companies' information like yours is at stake.
Compliance and Security Assurance – You choose to engage identity and access management protocols because of the great risk of losing valuable data or falling afoul of compliance issues. Without experience in dealing with these types of situations, you will have little recourse if something goes wrong. When you engage qualified managed services for identity and access management, the provider takes on the risk and much of the consequence if an issue crops up.
At Optimal IdM, we have a range of both on-premise and cloud-based award-winning identity and access management solutions. We can customize just the right IAM solution for your organization. Not only can we put a great system in place for your business, but we are also always available with concierge managed services to support your IAM solutions.
We can even handle the entire process of installation, configuration, monitoring, updates and system maintenance if you deem it necessary. For more information on engaging our services and how we can protect your business, contact Optimal IdM for a free trial today.

19k OFWs in quarantine facilities sent home
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III has reiterated the labor department's commitment to safely bring home overseas Filipino workers who were virtually locked up in various quarantine facilities amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
This as 19,000 out of the 24,000 OFWs who have been kept in government quarantine facilities over an extended period were already sent home.
"We are just short by about 5,000 OFWs who are still waiting to be transported back home so as to accomplish what we were tasked to do. As of last night, we were able to send home 19,010 OFWs," said Secretary Bello in a media briefing this morning.
"We apologize for the anxiety and discomfort that the unwarranted suffering may have caused our dear OFWs, all 24,000 or so of them," added Bello.
He assured that the remaining OFWs will be sent home before the deadline set by President Duterte as more OFWs are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
To prevent a repeat of the seemingly disorderly process of sending home OFWs, a command center was set-up at the DOLE Central Office as a repository of data and information on the volume of OFWs being repatriated to the country.
The center will guide the labor department in formulating measures and in crafting policies on repatriation, reintegration, and assistance to OFWs who have been profiled even before their return to the Philippines.
The center will also be of great help in the global mapping of inbound OFWs, and even outbound workers who will be deployed to host countries already opened to foreign nationals.
Meanwhile, Secretary Bello clarified that the labor department continues to accept and process applications for the DOLE-AKAP cash assistance for OFWs who were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said that the department has received additional funding of P1 billion to cater to requests for financial assistance, which has already ballooned to 450,000.
An initial P1.5 billion was disbursed which benefited around 150,000 OFWs.
END/DOLE-IPS

Irrfan Khan to produce films with Indian connection
Irrfan Khan is a somewhat trusted name when it comes to both Bollywood and Hollywood. It's only right, therefore, that he is to start producing films and it seems he's chosen projects with an Indian connection.
Talking to Hindustan Times, a source revealed, "Irrfan has a knack of finding stories that the audience can relate to. This was apparent with this last film, Madaari. The actor believes that it is imperative that film-makers seek stories from the varied corners and cultures of the subcontinent. Irrfan is now in search for such stories. He plans to produce at least two films with such content in the near future. He wants the stories to resonate Indian ethos, so that they can be narrated well on the big screen for the global audience".
Khan's wife Sutapa Sikdar confirmed the news, "As producers, we are not project makers, but storytellers. Our audiences are now ready for new stories relating to our lives, stories that have been evolved from our roots and our soil, stories weaving the Indian ethos, but the ones that ring true to the whole world. We are looking for new stories all the time. Irrfan and I are enjoying this process".
Khan's performances have been much appreciated even in off-beat films. His Hollywood presence is also pretty substantial.

The Parable of the Amusement Park
My brand of Quakerism is designed like Oaks Park, an amusement park in Sellwood. Some rides have criteria, for safety reasons, like you need to be "this tall" (a ruler is shown).
In Quakerism, which is a way of doing business, as well as worshiping together, the "rides" are the "committees" as well as other activities / events. Committees meet on a schedule.
Besides "rides", we have other "games" and "amusements" which some may say sounds un-Quakerly but this is an analogy. Sometimes I use "the circus" as a metaphor for Friends, or "the carnival" (from which culture the word "geek" arises).
"Membership" is not a criterion for going on or not going on rides, with the exception of the process called "becoming a member" (usually once per lifetime, like birth and death, although if you count transfers, then more often).
You may become a lifetime member of Friends, and that's one way of showing your commitment.
You may resign your membership when it's time to move on, either because you or your meeting thinks so (separations may be amicable, not closing any doors, or may be more abrupt yet open ended), or when you think membership in a given meeting might be less representative of your ideal park-goer, your preferred brand of Quakerism, and so you revert to original non-member status (the game posits "non-member" for newborns, but the "birthright" reflex might well be there, and in both parents).
You may dream up your own scenarios, about how one's membership might ebb and flow. For some people, the chapters turn not around membership (as a concept), but around which meeting (as a place). Whole meetings disappear (we don't always talk about that), and members of those, not making a transfer... yet another way to simply fall through the cracks, as in any bureaucracy (so many have no nationhood, on this United Nations Day).
Perhaps you think your meeting's membership lacks imagination and stubbornly prevents new rides from being installed, ones the kids would love. So you turn in your badge, your card, without surrendering any of your "inward weapons" i.e. you're not leaving the park, nor even dropping your ideas for new rides. You become more active than ever, sounding less hypocritical when you blame the members, who have agreed, after all, to be held accountable.
A visiting member from another meeting might only consider a transfer if the new meeting had similar practices around marriage. A given meeting might be well advised to be up front about its marriage practices when clearing new members, either newly convinced attenders (convinced to become members), or members of other meetings, looking at possibly transferring. Don't take for granted that all meetings play by the same rule book. Meetings differ in character. If you're concerned about your meeting's character, consider showing up at Business Meeting and playing a role. Ride the rides. Do the work. Participate.
True, you might be more effective if officially based elsewhere (overseas?), even while participating here. Perhaps some meeting has a "secret membership" status you can obtain, until it (the secret meeting) comes out of the closet as a new Meeting, fully formed (if members can have "closed committees" then maybe non-members can have "secret meetings"?). Or maybe there's a Swiss bank for Quaker memberships. Or perhaps that's all happening within your own meeting (or in your own mind (where things can get complicated)).
For this reason and other reasons, people resign and take up membership in different meetings (or they don't, or they resume membership, come back from retirement, in the meeting from which they earlier resigned). They'll say they're moving out of town but sometimes it's about not getting along with their meeting. They find a new meeting that more suits them.
Although it's called "a transfer", it's also a process, or a ride. One becomes a new member of the new park, and rides the "becoming a member" ride. If practices are different in the new meeting, that may take some getting used to. Some more degenerate meetings may have whole rooms or basement closets blocked off, "restricted to members only", a perversion of what it means to serve and spread joy.
If you're a member, you're a card carrying, bona fide, certified Friend; it says so right on the label. Other participants in the life of the Meeting may choose not to brand themselves in quite that way, perhaps to spare other Friends the trouble of knowing about other affiliations, none of which are unrespectable, let us stipulate, but labeling oneself a member of a specific meeting just might not fit the bill.
Say there's another amusement park you belong to, and people there will feel betrayed of you make Oaks Park a spiritual home, as if one could not have two bases. Maybe you're not able to use your legal name and don't want to dupe Quakers into granting membership to some alias. Yet you wish to fully participate and the people in your meeting want you to as well.
Some of them know of your circumstances and understand why you cannot be public about some religious affiliation. Yet the business is important and you want to see it done well. You have skills in that area. You're someone to consult.
The business might go differently were you to withhold your participation, however fortunately you see no reason to do that (pull back) since, as a non-member, you nevertheless have equal access to the decision-making process, committee service, the rides. You know how the money is being spent. You know what goes in to making up the various teams, planning the various activities.
Even if you're not a member, none of the rides are denied you in my park and you're a full participant, you're just not card carrying, whatever your story. And that's OK. Becoming a "member of Oak's Park" is just one way to register and demonstrate support, one of many ways to contribute to the life of the Meeting. Having members is a benefit, helps the park, as long as the institution of membership does not get out of hand and out of control.
Historically, a "member" was more like a "block" in football, bulky not with mass (though maybe with that too) but with "social inertia". You had title, ties, landholdings, and therefore could not be messed with to the same degree as most "little people". Early Friends were bullied a lot, as they tried to stand up to the recognized authorities. Their fortunes changed when their closet admirers started coming out of the closet.
Giving members some more powers on paper helps satisfy the state that there's a way to single out culprits should a legal case arise. A service (valuable) performed by members is they make themselves culpable. This doesn't mean non-members are insensitive to their risk taking. Members are a front line, protecting some of the more fragile / hidden Friends (more private) with their public-facing (sometimes intimidating) presence. Members give "a face" to the enterprise. -- from my Facebook profile
In joining Friends as an overt member, you were signalling that this Society was not to be messed with. You were taking a stand by putting a lot on the line, but were perhaps already privileged enough to be able to pull it off. Eccentric, maybe, but not to be denied your freedoms, not to be committed to some state sanitarium or penitentiary for some "crime".
Other Friends in contrast, just as committed, but unlanded, not socially privileged, might conceal their participation in case the boss would find out, which could lead to being fired. Being a member of a "Peace Church" while working in a military setting might be less effective than asserting one's command and control responsibilities in a manner that seemed Friendly. Declaring membership would not be strategic, would force hands that shouldn't be forced. A more delicate touch may be needed. Such a "closet Friend" should not feel less included, less a participant, in the Friends tradition.
So as a soldier, you don't necessarily carry a card, claiming membership. You support your meeting in other ways, perhaps from a distance (and in Cyberia, what is distance?).
One day, a group of Oak's Park members maybe got it into their heads that it's their exclusive privilege to ride some of the rides, and until you become a member, you have no access to said event, activity or amusement.
True, not everyone gets married.
Not everyone chooses to take this or that workshop.
But to actually bar / prohibit non-members from riding particular rides? That wasn't part of the original design in my book. Oak's Park would go broke in a day with such a philosophy.
A member is someone who is saying "this amusement park is good enough for me" as in "I am at peace here" or "I could die here".
A non-member may be in a different orbit, but part of what makes the amusement park a valuable experience for park goers is its equal treatment of members and non-members (including members of other parks).
The fact that some people become card carriers, public to the world about their affiliation, get the tattoo, is not a signal to the others to stop coming or to go away, or to stay out of Quakers "internal affairs" as if they were somehow second class, being judged as such It's not as if recruiting new members were the whole point of having an amusement park or an art museum, with all the big rewards at the end of that tunnel. "Becoming a member" is just one of the rides, one of the rituals (like getting tattooed).
What Quaker theology is not: joining Quakers as a member is about saving your soul, with attenders second class lurkers who are wondering about becoming saved and see membership as their ticket to gaining salvation. Again, that's not what Quakers believe.
Quakerism, as a practice, is about being effective in the world by taking seriously the dogma of the Light within each person. We are led by the spirit rather than by individual ego. If we remain attentive to that spirit, we will find ourselves in greater unity than most ordinary business meetings might achieve. We find ourselves in the same conspiracy, synchronizing trans-personally (supra-personally).
True, attenders are in many cases our next members in the making, at their prime in terms of inquisitiveness and wanting to run integrity checks, test institutions, develop their talents and skills, learn to work in groups, seek consensus, trust the spirit. All very valuable. Withholding such learning experiences is not what Quakerism is about. The park's aim is to be generous with its many safe simulations, models for the workplace and government. There's an eagerness to share.
For a meeting's membership to deny these opportunities to attenders to participate on some committees would be a grave perversion of the design. Beware of meetings that close Nominating and Oversight to non-members on principle, or won't let attenders on clearness committees, including clearness for membership. I'd consider resigning if I were in that position, where a meeting had degenerated in that way, and then stay active, as an attender, to achieve a more intelligent structure.
Having more of your life ahead of you means now is a good time to learn from the simulations, which is what rides are in many case (Property, Program, Children, Care & Grievance... Weddings, Deaths).
Having access to all the rides is how they / we become convinced they /we want to be members (and continue to rub shoulders with all the great attenders who bless the meeting, at all levels of service).
Denying a person access to a ride on condition of membership is arm twisting in a way most art museums could not afford either. Members may get a discount, but discrimination against attenders would rule out most of the tourist traffic, from whence future members will come -- a descending / degenerating spiral that would kill the art museum in question.
Celebrating membership is one thing. Members-only parties or committees is another.
Get too cliquey and focused on membership and you'll forget your public, your fans, your next generation, the people your meeting should treasure and welcome.
Keep your rides open to be enjoyed by all, and you'll get your best people. Focus on safety and quality of experience, not who wants to carry a card.
You have a Nominating Committee. Evaluate people on their merits, attending to who expresses a leading, put also thinking about wall flowers. The opportunity to serve comes in many forms. People join committees just to get to know each other better. What better way to learn about people than to do business together?
Have both members and attenders on this Nominating committee and don't worry too much about which is which when seeking to nurture the meeting.
An experienced activist attender with plenty of experience with Friends and their ways, both in your meeting and elsewhere, might make a brilliant clerk. Never overlook attenders when it comes to filling top positions. Make rotation work for everyone. Experienced members will always remind one another of this responsibility.
Don't pass any rules that would forbid that from happening. Keep your Business Meetings empowered to consider all options. That's the design I urge, when discussing Together Friends.
"There is Silence, and there is blah blah rant rant."
-- old Quaker saying
A Short Rant
In my view people are way too nice about Mumps, i.e. M, the computer language.
Yes, it was a breakthrough in its day, and the VA still uses it, and yes VistA, an open source medical records project, uses it.
To me, that means VistA is not really that great of a gift. People want to be nice about it, not say "but M is butt ugly" or anything so disrespectful.
This is how civilizations die (did Jared Diamond already say this?): they get too polite to have a sincere public discussion of anything. They become semi-paralyzed by "correct speech".
Americans reassure themselves by sounding rough and tumble on the radio, but mostly within the confines of a recognized "padded cell" called politics or political discourse, safely neutered and mediocre (thinking of so-called "rant TV" with its "ranter shows" ala Fox Network).
The political sphere provides a "safe ranting zone", a bubble , a theater, whereas more technical STEM topics are relegated to "the fringe" (not safe for nor accessible to the average ranter -- more X-Files in aspect).
I understand UC Davis helps train up new M programmers (check archives, math-thinking-l).
Building Bombs (movie review)
A chronicle / documentary regarding the ongoing criminal activities of various rogue elements, way worse than meth labs in many dimensions.
Giving the DEA jurisdiction over the DOE's traffic in uber-toxins might make some sense, but the EPA and FDA are currently responsible. They're doing next to nothing though. DC does not actually contribute much to the management of North America, one comes to find out pretty quickly.
Bureaucrats tend to be more part of the problem than a part of the solution, given their conditioned-reflexes are so entirely obsolete.
Universities have an opportunity here as many idealistic young are eager to be involved in monitoring and cleanup. That's to be a major focus of engineering from here on.
Outsourcing bottom-wiping might be what Americans need to do though. They're being starved for relevant training, yet being charged high tuition. Eloi. Defenseless.
I hope Iranians appreciate the lessons of this (rather old by now) film. Don't follow the Americans down that path. They made a wrong turn awhile back and have lost their way. Help lead the world in a more positive direction.
My Philosophy of Art
Artists are hungry for feedback, even if not in the live performance business, and even if they don't read every review or reply.
Artists will go to the museum or gallery featuring their work, and mingle, anonymously, listening for comments. That's an accepted practice. Movie directors, actors: same thing (visit an installation incognito to get a sense of the ripple effects).
In this sense, an art installation or showing is like one of those psychological experiments, like that famous "computer in a wall" in a poor neighborhood in India, an experiment to see what street urchin kids would do, a somewhat Charles Dickens meets H.G. Wells story (of course they played with it, taught themselves skills).
In this sense, art is a two way street: the artist shares with an audience, and the audience shares back, reflects, responds.
Inspired by Trevor Blake and his series of magazine covers (Struggle!), I want to make a glossy series of magazine covers: Social Engineer. Happy pretty people, in various (presumably work-related) settings, with titles of articles, a price tag.
"Does this really exist? Haven't I seen this somewhere?" -- a first audience reaction. "Is this what they read at Facebook?"
Looks pretty innocuous, like IEEE, but the name is provocative, as it's what they used to frighten children with: this'd what it'd be like if the Communists took over (we'd have "social engineers").
So getting a read on the audience would help gauge the lasting impact of the Cold War (the lasting effectiveness of its propaganda).
I wonder if Social Engineer should publish a special NATO edition. Food for thought.
I experience a fair amount of continuity between say Crystal City in DC and The Pearl here in Portland, thanks to the overlapping cast in our Python Nation (a "ghost state" i.e. "virtual"). The Djangocon crowd sloshes about. I'm always meeting new principals.
However, I've certainly been meeting a lot of new people lately. Yesterday I was lucky enough to meet up with Alan Potkin and his friends and family, out in the suburban west. He's through here quite infrequently. His daughter and brother were there too. Amazingly.
I was Alan's best man at his wedding to Kati in Bhutan. Thimphu is really built up since then, coming closer to Thailand in its global face, yet maintaining its own threads of culture.
I said good bye to Lindsey's mom at the bus stop this morning. Lindsey was escorting her back to PDX International, to have a little more quality time. I wish them both my best on their respective adventures outside of Portland.
Alan showed me some more 360 inside shots of old temples. These were in Thailand I think. Alan has specialized in digitizing off the beaten track sites, some still in use. The new tablet, one of Apple's, was very up to the job of letting us sit on a couch and look around in these worlds.
Melody was in the back yard by the time I got home, also meeting Lindsey's mom, a Florida farmer, and to me reminiscent of Dawn's dad's side of the family in Pennsylvania (e.g. Aunt Betty).
Melody has ventured pretty deeply into Southeast Asia in her day. She's also veteran of Burning Man, and a vegan. She was also one of the housemates here in Blue House for some months.
My cousin, the ER doc, shot down here in her new diesel Passat (VW) to some dinner and catching up. She was finishing a gun safety class so we talked about whether my sponsors would go for such training. I've been OK with it, citing William Penn who carried a sword for a number of years. The ethics are much like those of the mom & pop martial arts shops, who say the true master never needs to resort to the melodramatic stuff. InshaAllah you never use it for other than entertainment purposes of which medical doctors might approve.
We also discussed the unbelievability of role models such as House, M.D. Yes, viewers know they're fiction, but just like Mr. Rogers had a problem with superheroes, so one might argue these fictive cop, doc and lawyer shows are a vicious racket. Junior grows up in a bubble, suffocated for lack of reality. Which I guess is where "reality TV" comes in, like those "over the shoulder" cop shows where the camera crew is "embedded" (or is robotic).
However, leaving it to some schools to offer training in firearms safety etc., is tantamount to leaving other schools free to not so partake. The luxury of attending a facility that is as gun free as it is second hand smoke free should not be out of reach. Whole islands could abide by these rules, Okinawa for example, although it's hard to think of that many Asians giving up cigarettes.


It is a fact that online poker industry in Italy has been experiencing a downward swing for years while that of casinos and sports betting keeps rising. To cope with this constant decline in poker revenues, the country is planning to enact a legislation which would reduce gaming-related taxes and give ways to liquidity sharing compact with other European countries. It's a win-win solution that would benefit local gaming operators, poker players and the country as a whole. Gaming attorney from DLA Piper, Giulio Coraggio, highlighted that innovation is a key component in the success of the country's poker market. He also added that there are other challenges to face, namely finding ways on how to identify the best yet marketable poker variant that appeals to a great number of players.
Coraggio underlined that positive changes are likely to happen regarding the proposed law that would regulate online poker industry in Italy. It would focus more on taxation reduction, he added. The Italian lawyer stated that the 20% GGR tax will be applied for all internet-based gaming products, including poker and sports bettings. Such a change is expected to boost the industry while reducing illegal gambling services. So far, its amendment is yet to come. Any way, Corragio showed confidence that the passing of the currently proposed live poker law could further boost the popularity of the game in the country. What could considerably make poker popular, again, among Italian players is to provide opportunities to play live poker with famous poker pros and scale up the prizes, the attorney cherished. It is still worth noting that the approval of the current live poker regulation has been delayed for further notice. Yet, Coraggio remains optimistic about its passing.


WhatsApp users may soon get a new feature to spice up their chats with more than just the usual emojis to allow them to express themselves better. Facebook-owned WhatsApp has been spotted testing Stickers on the 2.18.24 beta version for Windows Phone. Along with the new Stickers feature, the WhatsApp beta update also brings a redesigned Stickers notification icon; neither feature has been spotted on Android or iPhone yet. Apart from this, the new Windows Phone beta of the world's most popular messaging app also brings Live Location Sharing to the platform. These features are expected to be rolled out on the stable build in the coming weeks.
Another feature that WhatsApp beta on Windows Phone will receive is the ability to send Stickers in individual and group chats. Additionally, the notification icon for Stickers in WhatsApp will include a "heart-shaped" logo to distinguish between regular messages and ones with stickers in them. As we mentioned, the stickers feature is new for app, across platforms. Notably, the stickers feature was first introduced in 2.18.2 beta, and is in fact hidden by default. The report notes the feature will be remotely enabled in the future.
Separately, WhatsApp is testing a UPI-based payments platform in the Indian market currently. According to the messaging app, a 'full feature' money transfer service is expected to kickstart soon in the country in collaboration with four banks and in accordance with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).

This is is an update to one of my popular ideas from a few years ago, the Tardis Blu-Ray Case. This time I did my best to make the Tardis look more like its TV show counterpart. The old design started to bother me a bit, now that I have taken up the show since (which I love).
Still the same basic idea, a Tardis case that would contain a bunch of CD-shaped Blu-Ray cases. It would feature LED lights for the top light and signs. All of the spines of the cases would feature an image of the Tardis interior.
It's just an idea, sorry.
Im in!!!! and with the 50th I am sure I'm not alone!!
Please can I buy 1?
Hi, I really want to buy one. When can I get one and how much will it be?
Dammit, Dave! You got me all excited!
I love this so much. I would love to have one. You should talk to underground toys which are the company that makes Dr Who toys and items. Are you selling any of these?
No, just about everything on this blog is a design.
Hei hvor kan man kjøpe det skapet her jeg er så interessert i sånne ting hvor finner man den hen hvilken nettside har du noen ideer ?


We know you got soul. Thx to all who came out for another edition of Shake! @djlordsamir always repping the party lovely. By the look on the girl's face she was having fun. See you next month with special guest @cosmobaker. Get on his level!

Q: Regarding memory of classes public type functions When using constructor of a class to create object, it uses and stores some memory space.
Creating more objects uses more space. My question is: if that class had many public type functions, logically more space will be spent, but when creating more objects of the same class that had many public type functions, will those functions will be created separately and use space more? What I want to ask is for example: class has 3 public type functions, when creating 1 object it will use something like 1*3x memory, but when creating more objects(10) will it use 10*3x memory, or just 10+3? So if I am right, when object needs to use many public type functions, and there are lots of the same objects, maybe its better to store those public functions in parent class so less memory would be spent?

A: Only the data members of an object use memory space. The functions/methods are always shared between all the objects. The only kind of methods that use some memory space is the virtual ones, but the space cost is usually only paid once per class type.
It does not matter if a method is defined in a parent class or a child class, they will occupy the same amount of memory as executable code. Also, the parameters are handled in the same way in both cases, so it is not faster or slower to define the method in the parent or child class.

Trump on Friday signed a temporary three-week budget to end the current shutdown, the White House stated on the same day.
"On Friday, January 25, 2019, the President signed into law: H.J. Res. 28, the 'Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019,' which includes a short-term continuing resolution that provides fiscal year 2019 appropriations through February 15, 2019, for continuing projects and activities of the Federal Government included in the remaining seven appropriations bills. Also included in the enrolled bill are provisions regarding retroactive pay and reimbursement, and extensions of certain authorities," the statement said, as previously reported by Sputnik.
Over the next three weeks, Trump is expected to continue talks with Democrats regarding his demand for $5.7 billion to construct a wall on the US-Mexico border. However, the president went out of his way to make it known that his decision to end the shutdown was "in no way a concession" and that he was merely "taking care" of the millions of people impacted by his shutdown.
"I wish people would read or listen to my words on the Border Wall. This was in no way a concession. It was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the Shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is done, it's off to the races!" Trump tweeted Friday, vowing to repeat his shutdown in 21 days if the two parties are unable to strike a deal.
He repeatedly alluded to a "powerful alternative" that he "did not want to use this time" — a reference to a declaration of national emergency that would enable him to order US troops to build the border wall against the legislation of Congress and the House.
However, social media users were quick to point out what they considered to be Trump's defeat.
"Trump caved. He announced he's going to sign a wall-free temporary spending package to reopen the government," the New York Daily News tweeted Friday with an early look at their Saturday cover photo.
Stephen Colbert's Late Show show was also quick to make fun of Trump's surrender, while CNN anchor Anderson Cooper described how Trump is attempting to reframe his defeat as a victory.

After the huge success of A Hard Day's Night album and film by The Beatles, the group needed to feed the fire of Beatlemania. This album comes in-between A Hard Day's Night and Help! Often overshadowed by other albums by the group, it is still a much better listening experience than most music released today. The album cover showed a more informal look of The Beatles, pointing ahead to the more artistic direction that they would later take.
Let's get stuck into the listening experience of this golden oldie.
We kick off with No Reply. It is a great way to begin this album, with John Lennon singing about a broken love situation, with a classic singing delivery and strummed acoustic guitar. Nice stuff, and a great way to start this underrated album. At this point, the group was still working together, not against each other. Great pop/rock music and beautifully melodic as well. The cymbal crashes by Ringo Starr add an interesting sound to this number.
Next is I'm A Loser which is another good song, more deeply speaking about heartache and a win-lose love based scenario. It's a great listen for those who break up with their first partner, and who need some music sympathy. The Rickenbacker guitars here clang away in the awesome guitar solo. Nice stuff by The Beatles, a great listen.
Baby's In Black may have referred to an affair that John Lennon had (that is if you believe Cynthia Powell, John Lennon's first wife) but it is a great pop/rock piece about a woman who dresses in black, who creates an unfair love situation. An interesting play on words, and yet another great song by The Beatles.
Rock And Roll Music is a great swinging sixties sort of song. It makes direct comparisons between the music that The Beatles and others played against other forms of music at the time. It is pure British goodness and a great ode to Rock and Roll. Great stuff, always a cheerful listen by these four young men. There is a great piano accompaniment here as well, a great song to dance to.
The next song I'll Follow The Sun is a Paul McCartney ode to going through tough times and come out at the other end in a better way. It's a simple, beautiful, and melodic piece by The Beatles. An excellent listen, and certainly timeless, it still sounds great today.
The often hated Mr. Moonlight is one of the most unpopular songs by The Beatles. However, it is still a great listen, which says a lot about the material from the Fab Four. It's a nice piece for young lovers to dance to. There are bongos and a fairground organ sound in this piece, rather than a guitar solo. Interesting and unique listening.
Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey – Medley is an ode to old school music back in the day, and a romance based adventure. Although The Beatles were rapidly evolving at their craft at this point, the music of this era is simple, yet fantastic. Paul McCartney does some great Soul music style screaming, in an era of racial and social injustice. This is a definite crossover piece, and a good one to hear after all these years.
Eight Days A Week is one of the best songs from this album, and a quality listen. It talks about giving 110% in a relationship. Indeed, these songs sing about love as opposed to the usual mantra of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It's very good and memorable to listen to this day. Great stuff here.
The love poem Words Of Love is a fantastic listen. It has some excellent clean guitar playing and reassuring singing that is highly original. The whole song is great, pretty, and melodic listening. The nimble bass guitar playing and gentle handclaps make this an audibly wonderful listen. Great stuff, and totally underrated in The Beatles back catalog.
The more upbeat Honey Don't comes next. It is a swinging number with a variety of musical structures and lyrics about being passionately in love. A beautiful, interesting, and gentle listen. Great to listen to this album at home on days off, no doubt. Paul calls on George to deliver the guitar solos, and man, he had chops! A great listen.
Every Little Thing is a John Lennon ode to love. It's a romantic and pleasant description of a perfect woman. It's an excellent description of a partner being there for her man. Great stuff, although this is merely an album track, or is it? You be the judge, but it is good quality listening.
I Don't Want To Spoil The Party talks about a bad event of distress with a lover in a social situation. Perhaps inspired by real-life events, it is an awesome listen. No wonder people still love The Beatles to this day, their musicality is irresistible to hear. Good music and a worthy addition to their collection of songs.
The most underrated drumbeat by Ringo Starr kicks off What You're Doing. It is an excellent piece about a lover playing games with oneself in a relationship. A short and sharp listen, although very good quality, and memorable regardless. There is a combined guitar and piano solo in the middle of this pop/rock classic. The drumbeat returns for the outro, which is epic.
Lastly, we arrive at Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby. It's about the stresses of maintaining a relationship in The Beatles shoes. Indeed, nobody who came after The Beatles had such a large following over their time. It's a good way to finish off this recording, which is overall brilliant.
It is definitely a great idea to hear this album. Sure, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band may be the defining statement by The Beatles. But this is often hugely overlooked in music history. Buck the trend, and give this album a listen now.
Superb.
