According to researchers, our Dillard roots in America, along with every other Caucasian family linked to the name, began when young George Dillard stepped onto Virginia soil in the spring of 1650. He was one of 107 for whom transportation receipts were recorded by Capt. Moore Fantleroy at the Virginia land patent office on May 22. Entitled to 50 acres of land for each immigrant delivered, Capt. Fantleroy collected 5,350 acres that day.
Fifteen years later, George patented 250 acres adjoining land he already owned in New Kent County VA, 50 acres for each immigrant delivered. As an indentured servant, George labored up to seven years to pay for his ocean voyage. It would seem that by 1665 he had repaid his own transportation debt, acquired land, and become financially able to afford to pay passage for others. Two of the five to benefit from George's prosperity were women. Who were these new immigrants? Members of George's family? Maybe. Or perhaps paying their transportation was simply the cost of acquiring the vacant lot next door.
Few records of Immigrant George exist. He served on an escheat jury on Sep 2, 1675, and sold 76 acres in 1679. In 1694, a George Dillard, either Immigrant George or perhaps his son, patented 139 acres in King and Queen County, VA, a new county carved out of New Kent County in 1691. While it's possible this could be a different George Dillard, it's probably not. It's very likely that Immigrant George--or his son--just acquired more land next to or near where he was already living; Immigrant George's original land and the new property probably fell within the boundaries of the newly formed King and Queen County.
Other claims about Immigrant George's origin or activity are unsubstantiated, and there are quite a few persistent falsehoods. We don't know where he was from or how old he was. We don't know the name of the ship that brought him to America or from which port in England it sailed. Few older people made the grueling journey. Most were young, single men, Immigrant George probably among them. All of them wanted something better than what they had--and land.
Evidence conclusively linking Immigrant George to either a wife or children has been lost, but in a time when half of all immigrants died shortly after coming to America, and only 20 percent of new arrivals were women, Immigrant George lived and apparently married.
Although no records exist to prove it conclusively, researchers widely agree that the few surviving records strongly support that Immigrant George sired several sons. Other Dillards appear on land transaction records for King and Queen County VA, and researchers reason that, according to dates on the documents, it's Immigrant George and sons or at least Dillards who are closely related.
No one can conclusively prove lineage to Immigrant George. Exhaustive investigations have turned up only scanty evidence. Nonetheless, researchers theorize he is indeed the first Dillard in America and progenitor simply because the few records we have of him are the oldest found.
George b. ?, m. ?, d. ?.
Thomas b. ?, m. Winifred Nalle, d. ?.
Edward b. ?, m. ?, d. ?.
Nicholas b. ?, m. ?, d. ?. Through his great-granddaughter, Ina Dillard, Nicholas Dillard is thought to be the ancestor of Richard Brevard Russell, Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, and his son, Georgia Governor and U.S. Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr.

In-Game Advertising in EA Games Lifts Brand Sales
First Time Research Connects What Consumers See in-Game with What They Buy In-Store
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today revealed results from a study conducted by The Nielsen Company which shows the degree to which brand advertisements within video games can boost real life sales. The study, commissioned by EA on behalf of Gatorade, shows that in-game advertising increased household dollars spent on Gatorade by 24%, and offered a return on investment of $3.11.
The study focused on households that purchased at least one of six EA SPORTS™ titles: NHL® 09, NHL 10, NBA LIVE 07, NBA LIVE 08, NBA LIVE 09 and NBA Street Homecourt. Gatorade had a variety of product placements within the games including arena signs, players' water bottles, score updates and other call outs.
The study was based on Nielsen's US Homescan panel of more than 100,000 households, representative of the US population, including a subset of Homescan homes that scanned video game UPC (Universal Product Codes) barcodes. The scanned barcodes were matched to a reference library of more than 14,000 video game titles. Nielsen compared the households that purchased at least one of the studied games before and after Gatorade branding was integrated into the games (the test group) with households that didn't purchase one of the games (the control group).
These test and control group homes are projected out to the broad Homescan panel by matching them with the larger Homescan household universe based on similar purchase patterns and demographics in order to achieve a statistically reliable sample. Finally, the sales impact of Gatorade advertising was measured by analyzing and comparing Gatorade purchase behavior between the households that had and hadn't purchased the games that carried Gatorade advertising.
This is the first time that this type of sales lift analysis has been done for advertising within video games. The study is the result of work undertaken by EA and The Nielsen Company to help marketers better understand the potential of advertising in this space.
"Nielsen's study is a milestone for interactive entertainment," said Elizabeth Harz, Senior Vice President of Global Media Sales at EA. "For the first time, advertisers are able to link the value of their in-game marketing or sponsorship to actual sales. Now brands can feel confident adding gaming as a core media channel for their advertising."
"Video games are a deeply engaging consumer experience," added Gerardo Guzman, Director, Media Product Leadership for The Nielsen Company. "Bringing our industry accepted ad effectiveness understanding to video games is another way to help marketers understand how consumers respond to advertising across different environments. This should help optimize the impact of and derive a return on media investments. In this case the story is simple – dollars put into video game product placement result in more retail dollars."

I'm trying to grow freeform dreads sorry for not posting it in the first comment.
Hi my name is bo I have African Texture hair but it curls up and gets frizzy and the small knot that formed come out. Am I using the wrong shampoo or something. I use okay black Jamaican castor oil moisture and growth shampoo. I have a small afro.
I'm about two months in. It has been a rough ride due to the fact that most people can't quite understand my intentions. I have found inner peace in my journey, however, and feel like this is the best decision I have ever made. I've never felt more beautiful! It's actually quite liberating. I have about 11 baby dreads trying to form, but the rest of my hair is taking off to a slow start. Patience is definitely not one of my strongest areas but I feel that the whole process has really instilled in me the ability to be patient, to let things happen on their own time. This is just the beginning, folks! I absolutely cannot wait to see what my future has in store. I've looked to this site for advice and comfort many a time. I appreciate all of you and your feedback so much! Thanks much, and to all of you I wish the best of luck with your journey. Peace, love, and locks!

Jaguar X-Type Car Insurance - Free Quotes! Low Rates.
The X-type is an entry-level luxury sedan in Jaguar's lineup, also available in sport wagon form. It was discontinued in 2008 as well as the S-type, because it was underperforming. Although it is a luxury car, it should be more affordable now that it has had more time to depreciate. However, keep in mind that the sticker price isn't everything. You should take things like car insurance into consideration, as they are the costs of owning that car. If you'd like to learn more about Jaguar X-Type Insurance, please read on.
Like Jaguar's S-type, the X-type isn't particularly known for its reliability. It is better known for its brand recognition. It provides a comfortable, smooth ride; however, handling and suspension are left wanting. If there's a particularly big bump in the road, you'll be likely to feel it.
It comes standard with a 2.5 liter V6, and can be upgraded to a 3.0 liter V6. The former is lacking when it comes to acceleration, so many people opt for the 3.0 liter for the needed extra power. Its all-wheel drive is also relatively sluggish when transferring power in the event of a wheel slip. The interior isn't anything to write home about, either.
Generally, it is an okay car, but with the myriad of choices you have for luxury vehicles, you have to ask yourself why you'd opt for this one at its price.
Luxury cars can be a bit pricey to insure, this is why it's always a good idea to educate yourself on how to lower your insurance premium.
First and foremost, you can lower your premium by simply being a good driver. Clean driving records are rewarded with lower premiums, because they present a lesser risk to the insurer.
Other factors can influence your premium calculation in addition to this one. Things like age or credit score can help or harm. It's been statistically proven that drivers under 25 are less responsible behind the wheel, while people with good credit scores are more likely to be financially responsible and pay their premiums on time. It is a matter of risk management.
The X-type Sedan has gotten 4/5 stars from the federal government for side crash tests, though it hasn't been tested for any other form of crash test. The IIHS on the other hand has given it the highest rating of "good" on frontal impact crash tests, though rates it with the second lowest score of "marginal" on side impact tests. These ratings are important because they can help lower your premium if they're good enough.

Non-Residential Buildings
Bell, Matthew
Category: Builder, Architect
Matthew Bell was a builder, stone carver and architect. His work is featured on numerous buildings throughout the city, including several of his own residential homes on Albert Street and Water Street, as well as the Basilica of our Lady and the portico of "Moreton Hall", the residence of F.W. Stone, now a central architectural feature located on Johnston Green at the University of Guelph. Bell's work is also featured on Old City Hall at 59 Carden Street (1856-57, architect Willam Thomas).
Bell was born March 1820 in Newcastle-on-Tyne, Northumberland Co., England. He arrived in Guelph c. 1850 and operated a stone quarry. Early maps show the quarry location along the western boundary of the city along the Speed River. Today, remnants of the Bell quarry are still visible along the trail between the river and Water Street West. Bell and his sons worked as building contractors, which gave him the opportunity to add some of his signature craftsmanship to each commission. Some of his work is rather whimsical, such as the incorporation of a carved bird and cherubs into the sidewall of a stone home at 193 Norfolk Street.
One of Bell's last commissions was the apsidal chapels at the Basilica of our Lady (constructed 1876-1888). He fell ill and died on 28 June 1880 and was not able to see the completion of this iconic Guelph landmark. He is buried in St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery where his grave is marked with a monument he designed and carved prior to his death.

Today is Day 16 of the March Slice of Life – the daily writing challenge hosted at Two Writing Teachers.
When I jotted down the letter P for today, the first thing that popped into my head was pizza. Then other P foods tumbled out – peaches, popcorn, and pickles.
It made me realize just how much I miss pizza and even peaches – good peaches that is.
I have been (almost) lactose-free for some time but so miss hot slices of pizza with melted cheese. Pepperoni, mushroom and green pepper or ham and pineapple. Yum!
I can still taste the juicy Georgia peaches we had last summer when we were in Georgia. I couldn't get enough of them. Juice dripping onto my fingers as I bit into each peach. Heavenly.
I've gotten to like Smart Pop popcorn and a bowl at night is a tasty snack with not too many calories. We do have an air popper but I prefer the quickness of the bagged popcorn.
There are not too many foods I do not like but I can definitely pass on pickles, anchovies and oysters are on the dislike list.
What are your food likes and dislikes?
This entry was tagged March SOL. Bookmark the permalink.
From just your title, my first thought was pregnancy cravings.😁 But now you've got me craving some peaches. As to your ending question: I detest with all my heart and soul liver. My tastebuds are in heaven when it comes to most things pumpkin.
Got a chuckle because I had originally written about not having pickle and ice cream cravings while pregnant. I don't mind liver but haven't had it in ages – as my husband couldn't have it for a long time. I love pumpkin as well.
I love how some foods are savory words, too. So many in your post. You've got me thinking about peaches and the joy of eating them.
Thanks for stopping by. Yes, those peaches were soooo good.

Sorry I've been absent for a bit!
This was me earlier this week when we returned home from camping and our computer wasn't working. After much troubleshooting, we received a new modem from our internet provider which did the trick. I love computers when they work and get frustrated when they don't.
1) The deer was fussy cut with the Paper Snips.
2) After running the Crumb Cake cardstock through the Big Shot with the Woodland Embossing Folder, I used a Stamping Sponge to apply Soft Suede ink to the trees.
3) Place a piece of a Multi Purpose Adhesive Sheet on the back of the Tranquil Tide cardstock before cutting with the Swirly Scribbles die. This makes the die cut a "sticker" and easy to adhere to the card.
Receive the Merry Patterns stamp set for free with a workshop/party/personal order of $300 or more. Offer good now through October 31st!

What: For The People, By The People 2.0 is a case study that looks at the construction of three federally funded, large-scale construction projects in the Roxbury and Dorchester neighborhoods of Boston. These were a) the renovation of 102 units in 9 buildings, b) the demolition of two buildings and the construction of 49 new units and c), the redevelopment of the former Pearl Hot Dog Factory into the Bornstein & Pearl Food Production Small Business Center. These projects are collectively referred to as "The Quincy Choice Neighborhood" projects, as a US Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program so named funded them all.
For The People, By The People 2.0 details how DSNI and Project RIGHT, working with the development team of Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation and Quincy Geneva Housing Corporation, were able to successfully secure over $20 million for minority and women owned businesses as well as employ on average, 56% of construction hours for residents, 65% for minorities and 8% for women.
The case study builds on the previous learnings from the successful Salvation Army Kroc Center development project that resulted in significant increases in local hiring and business opportunities above the Boston Residents Job Policy. The study is being distributed to community groups, developers, policy makers, and the general public in order to share best practices and strategies to increase employment and business opportunities for local residents.
DSNI's mission is to empower Dudley residents to organize, plan for, create and control a vibrant, diverse and high-quality neighborhood in collaboration with community partners.

Well, if you're me, you throw an awesome dance party for one, but if you're Yiru Sun, you throw a fancy luncheon for children from low-income families.

Anyway, the point is instead of canceling her nonrefundable reservation at theHarold Pratt House in the Upper East Side of Manhattan for the reception, Yiru decided to give other peoplea magical day.

Q: git sub..submodules tag synchronization I am new to git submodules.
I am creating a project that includes other libraries as submodules. Some of them though have submodules on their own.
When I have only one level I can go in the root of the submodule and checkout particular tag. Git identifies that and creates a record. The next time I say update on clean place I have the exact change.
This though does not seem to be the case for sub submodule. And I do not see any easy automatic way to apply a particular tag to all submodules.
Am I asking too much, or I just do not know how to do it?

A: this doesn't make sense for a sub submodule or breaks consistency if the first level submodule.
Considering you're working on software - it should only take care of it's direct dependencies and should not bother with the dependencies of your dependencies. If you depend of the version of a sub submodule then transform it into a direct dependency / submodule.
Edit
Just some commands which might help:
git clone <repo> --recursive

Will align all submodules and their submodules during the initial clone
git submodule update --recursive

Will do the same, once you're working in a repository.

Home News olivier giroud man lead arsenal title
Olivier Giroud – is he the man to lead Arsenal to the title?
garethmcknight
Arsenal and Chelsea drew 0-0 in a cagey top of the table affair last night in the Premier League, with opportunities for either side few and far between.
The hosts did have a chance at the death to sneak all three points, with Olivier Giroud skewing his lines when put through one-on-one with Petr Cech.
The French forward has had to endure a fair amount of abuse as a result, with renowned Arsenal fan Piers Morgan slating the striker on Twitter in the aftermath of the game.
However, given Giroud's performances this season, just how important is he to the north London side and can he play a significant role in the side's push for honours?
The burly attacker had a slow start to life in England after a move from Montpellier last summer, but started this term in sensational goalscoring form.
Giroud netted critical goals against Fenerbahce and Napoli in the Champions League, and struck to give the Gunners victory over Tottenham in the north London derby.
However, with little-to-no faith in default back-up option Nicklas Bendtner, Giroud has been forced to lead the Arsenal line for the vast majority of the campaign, and as such it is starting to take its toll.
The striker has started 16 of Arsenal's 17 games this season and been on the pitch for a total of 1391 Premier League minutes. Of the outfield contingent, only Aaron Ramsey has played more minutes for the Gunners this season.
As such, Giroud has certainly looked fatigued over the last month and it is fair to say that the enthusiasm and zest he had in the early days of the campaign is no longer immediately evident.
His ability to score has also suffered, with a brace against Southampton back in November the only goals in his last twelve games in all competitions for the title hopefuls.
However, despite the frantic fixture list over the festive season not helping Giroud to get respite, there are two reasons why his best form should return in the near future.
Firstly, Lukas Podolski was included amongst Arsenal's substitutes for the clash with Chelsea after three months on the treatment table. The German will pose as a much more fitting player to deputise for the Frenchman and lead the line on occasion than Bendtner has.
Secondly, the January transfer window opens in little over a week, giving the north London club an opportunity to bring another centre forward to the Emirates Stadium to lighten the considerable load on Giroud's shoulders.
Those slating Giroud should not be so quick to criticise as they could be forced to eat their words. The France international is not showing his best form at the moment, granted, but with less responsibility on his shoulders for the rest of the campaign he can only improve. His early season form shows that he is more than capable of excelling as Arsenal's lone frontman.

TEoAT is a Goodreads Choice Awards Semifinalist + Thoughts on Awards in General
First: Hey, The End of All Things made it to the semifinalist round of this years Goodreads Choice Awards in the science fiction category. You can see a picture of the other semi-finalists above, which include a few write-ins from the previous round, which is all to the good. If you're a Goodreads member, you can vote for the book you like in this category and several others as well. Here's a direct link to the science fiction category; you can click through to the other categories from there.
Second: Someone asked me if being nominated for things like this made me feel competitive against the other authors in my category, not in the least because the Goodreads people are more than happy to try to get you as an author to engage your readers to vote for you through the various rounds.
In this specific case, the short answer is no, because a) the Goodreads Choice Award is not an award that means a huge amount to me — it'd be nice to win, sure, but any time I've been nominated I've thought about the award for exactly zero seconds after someone else's book beat mine, and b) there are a lot of authors in the category I like as people and/or books I've enjoyed, and it's genuinely difficult for me to feel competitive against them. I'd be delighted for almost all of these books/authors to win, excepting only the books I've not read by authors I don't know, and I'd be perfectly happy for them to win, too, because why not? There's also c) which is: Why be the asshole who has to feel competitive all the time, or feel that you're owed an award? That's kind of exhausting, and annoying to others. I'd prefer not to.
In a larger sense: You know, I've won my fair share of awards and have also lost rather more than I've won. In all cases my experience has been that it's nice to win but it also doesn't usually hurt to lose. The worst-case scenario to losing an award is that you are no worse off than you were before, unless you've made winning that particular award a cornerstone of your being for some reason or another, which is on you rather than anyone else. You might believe if you win an award, then it will move the needle in how you are perceived or are respected, and you know what? It just might. Then again it might not. Or it might for a limited time, after which you're in the mix again just like everybody else. Or after you win it you might start acting like a twit, or might start worrying that you always have to top the thing that won the award. In which case the winning the award will become a net negative over time.
I've won and lost enough awards to know an award is not The Thing That Changes Everything. An award is fun, an award is nice, an award may even be, at times, significant. But at the end of the day, whether you win or lose, you still go home with yourself, and you don't change — at least, not because of an award. It's perfectly fine to want an award (I've wanted them from time to time, you can be assured) and it's perfectly okay to be disappointed if you don't get one. But ultimately, putting the responsibility for your happiness onto an award, which is, generally speaking, a thing over which you have absolutely no control, is a very fine way to become unhappy. Which will not be on the award, or any of the people who voted for it. It will be on you, whether you want to own that fact or not.
What I suggest is this: Hey, you've been nominated for an award? Cool! You've made the semi-finalist round? Neat! Made the finalist round? Awesome! You win the award? Whoo-hoo! You lose the award or didn't get nominated this time around? Oh, well, your life is still probably pretty decent, all things considered. Maybe next time! And so on.
In the meantime, be happy for the success you have and also for the successes others have, which in point of fact do not diminish the opportunities and success you may find. Envy and jealousy and a zero-sum approach to awards is no way to go through life, my friends.
Kitten Update, 11/10/15
November 10, 2015 John Scalzi41 Comments
The kittens are on this side of the stairs because they both climbed over the gate, evidence that the gate is not so much useful as a gate anymore, even if it has some continued utility as exercise equipment. That, combined with the fact that the last flea combing produced no fleas (aided by a spraying with age-appropriate flea treatment, which will be administered again probably tomorrow), means that I'm officially letting the gate come down and the kittens to roam around the house. They've already gotten acclimated to Daisy, who loves them to bits, and it's time they had a little more contact with Zeus, who so far is less than pleased but need to deal with it. So out into the world (defined as "the house") they go.
I do find the kittens already surprise me. When we got them, lo that whole week ago, I assumed that Thing Two, who is the larger and in many ways more forward of the kittens, would be the troublemaker of the pair, but it turns out that Thing One is the adventurous one — she's the one who hopped the gate first, who acclimated to Daisy first, and who goes down the stairs at every available opportunity. Thing Two, on the other hand, is a little more cautious (but only a little) and is more openly affectionate, coming over to me meowing to be picked up and petted and so on. It's nice they are already challenging assumptions and expectations.
This is likely the last regularly-scheduled kitten update here. Before anyone complains, if you think this means there won't be additional kitten pictures here, quite obviously you've never actually visited this site before. There will be tons, I assure you. Just not every single day.
Er, probably.
The Big Idea: James Renner
November 10, 2015 John Scalzi6 Comments
I've forgotten what I was going to say to introduce James Renner's new novel. As the novel is called The Great Forgetting, perhaps this is appropriate. And did I really forget… or was I made to forget?
JAMES RENNER:
When I was a kid my father would take me camping at state parks around Ohio. Salt Fork. Pymatuning. Mohican. If you've never been, these parks all pretty much look the same: stark, concrete buildings for bathing and gutting fish in the middle of old-growth forests. I asked my dad, once, when the parks were built and he said after the war, meaning World War II.
But the parks looked older to me. I imagined they were hundreds, thousands of years old and that we had only forgotten when they were really constructed.
In college, I learned of a theory called "Phantom Time."
The idea behind Phantom Time is that, at various moments in history, our great leaders rejiggered the calendar for their personal agendas. Some scholars believe Pope Sylvester II skipped over a hundred years in the official calendar just so that he could be Pope in 1000 A.D. A German historian, Heribert Illig, is convinced much of the Middle Ages never happened at all, specifically the years 614 – 911.
How crazy is that?
We assume the year is 2015. But if we skipped over hundreds of years because someone altered the official calendar, perhaps it's only 1772. How about this – what if they didn't always just skip ahead? What if some ruler in the distant past simply deleted historical record? An unaccounted for span of time. Perhaps it's not 1772. Perhaps it's really 2115.
It's enough to make you paranoid, isn't it?
That idea was the seed for my new novel, The Great Forgetting. In the book, I imagined a world in which the United States turned its back on Europe in World War II. The war was much bigger than what we were told, and raged on until 1964, when we finally defeated the Werhmacht as they pushed into New England. Billions died.
As America began to rebuild, a scientist came forward with an idea: we could forget that we let the Nazis win, if we really wanted to. A new history could be written. And we could reset the calendar. He had this idea for a giant machine that could rewrite our minds to accept a new, shared history in which we were heroes. That initiative was known as The Great Forgetting. We scrubbed 100 years of history from our records.
Eventually, a history teacher from Ohio uncovers the conspiracy. And he is faced with a choice: is it better to forget our mistakes or learn from them so that they're never repeated?
It's a heady idea. And maybe not so far fetched.
After all, who wouldn't want to forget their worst mistake? And how powerful is that urge when it's an entire country?
The Great Forgetting is available everywhere books are sold, November 10, 2015. Or is that 2115?

A vernakalant (INN-név) az akut pitvari fibrilláció megszüntetésére szolgáló gyógyszer. A szívritmuszavar elleni szerek III. osztályába tartozik, bár az osztály többi tagjától némileg eltérnek a tulajdonságai.

Hatásmód
A vernakalant a többi III. osztályú szerhez hasonlóan gátolja a pitvari kálium-csatornákat, ezáltal meghosszabbítja a szívizom elernyedési idejét. A III. osztályú szerektől eltérően viszont gátolja a kimenő kálium-csatornát, mégpedig a pulzusszám növekedésével együtt növekvő mértékben. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a szer annál hatásosabb, minél gyorsabb a pulzus, míg a többi III. osztályú szer ebben a tartományban már elveszíti a hatékonyságát.

Enyhén gátolja a hERG kálium-csatornát, ezáltal megnöveli a QT-intervallumot (a Q-hullám kezdete és a T-hullám vége közötti időt). Ez elméletileg a kamrai tachychardia veszélyével jár, de a klinikai próbák ezt nem igazolták.

A szer gátolja a pitvari nátrium-csatornákat is.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Ghost in the Shell was a film that I liked. I didn't think it was the best film I had ever seen--pick your choice for sub genre of anime or science fiction or whatever, it's all the same to me--but I thought it was one of the better science fiction films to be made in the nineties. If for nothing else, it treated its audience as if they might have a few brain cells left to rub together, and that was (and still is) a precious thing.
But Ghost in the Shell 2 is no Ghost in the Shell, just as most sequels are not their original.
The film centres of Batou, the armoured cyborg who partnered the major in the first film, as, years after, he has fallen into a quiet life of routine that is punctuated with violence at his job. I'm not exactly sure what kind of detective work he does for Section Nine in the film, since the detective elements of the film make absolutely no sense at all, but from what I could gather, Batou's job is to find guilty people and shoot them. With this in mind, he is assigned to investigate a case where sex robots go insane and kill themselves and their owners. Why? Who knows. The Chief, an elderly man with Mr Miyagi like sayings, has a feeling that it might lead to something. Because he runs a huge shadowy secret service, everyone needs no more than his feeling to rush off and do this, and Batou and his partner Togusa (who doesn't want to work with him because he's not the major and Batou is a gun wielding nutcase) go off to search for clues. This means that Togusa, who is human, asks a few questions, plays by the rules... in short, acts like a good human would, and leaves Batou to the shooting of things and people and witty lines.
Ghost in the Shell 2 has an ending, but I can't quite explain to you how it reaches it. There's a point, midway through the film, where the two guys go to an outlaw city, and Batou appears to know some people who know some people, and then they find the bag guys and solve the mystery. But this centre makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, that even now, I struggle to find the explanation. It's possible that it's there in the film, and that I just drifted off in the twenty minute conversation three characters have about the nature of reality, which as far as I can tell, has absolutely no point with the film, and simply retreads everything that was said in the first film. But the biggest problem is that that conversation, which takes place in an obvious fake reality, is so damn tedious that your finger itches to hit the forward button. Go on, it says, hit it. Hit it. Go on.
But, I thought, maybe this isn't real?
Who gives a fuck?
Hard to argue with that.
The attraction to the film is, however, its look. I complained that the characters in Appleseed reminded me of RealDolls, but the character designs in Ghost in the Shell 2 are much more realistic for the film, and with the except of Togusa's mullet, there's nothing to complain about there. Indeed, the whole film actually looks very beautiful, and the blend of CGI and animation works for the majority of it. Since the film is only ninety minutes long (though it feels an easy two hours) you can just sit there and watch it drift past, which was also an attraction of the first film, though nothing within that was as tedious as this to listen to and take place.
Ghost in the Shell 2: Another reason why sequels are a bad idea.


AKVA group is on track and has completed the second quarter with good overall performance. Revenue in second quarter 2016 ended on 408 MNOK (402 MNOK) with an EBITDA of 43 MNOK (41 MNOK). Second quarter EBITDA margin was 10.4% (10.2%). With the exception of Americas, all business segments and regions are performing well in the second quarter. AKVA group is ending the quarter with the highest order backlog ever of 822 MNOK.
"AKVA group continues to be on track and has completed the best second quarter and first half ever with regards of revenue, EBITDA and order backlog. The resent year's transformation of AKVA group to become a better performing and more diversified Group is reflected in the Q2 results. Operationally and financially AKVA group is well positioned for further growth. The half yearly dividend of 0.75 NOK per share to be paid out in Q3 underlines our solid financial position", says CEO of AKVA group ASA Trond Williksen.
Nordic CBT had a good performance in Q2. A wide range of products continues to contribute to the good financial performance. Main drivers were the AKVAsmart products (sensors and feed systems), barges, Polarcirkel cages, service and rental.
We have experienced reduced activity in Americas this quarter compared to same quarter last year resulting in a reduced EBITDA year on year of 8 MNOK. There has been low activity in Chile in Q2 and we have also experienced reduced service sales in the quarter. Canada had an unusually slow quarter with some shift of deliveries and revenue to next quarters. Australia continues to be a small, but profitable operation.
UK had a decent first half of the year and continues to have a high level of OPEX based revenue. Turkey had a very good first half of the year and we are experiencing increased activity in the Sea Bass and Sea Bream industry in the Mediterranean. Export to emerging markets experienced a decent quarter with increased activity in some markets, especially in Iran. Emerging markets are dominated by a few but large contracts and this gives variations in the P&L quarter by quarter.
Software has ended another good quarter. Both AKVA group Software AS and Wise lausnir ehf experienced improved performance year on year in Q2. Wise Blue AS, a Norwegian subsidiary of Wise lausnir ehf, is a small but profitable business. Software continues to invest in new product modules, which is expected to strengthen the financial performance of the software segment further.
LBT have had a significant improved performance year on year in Q2. Both Plastsveis AS and Aquatec Solutions A/S had a good first half of 2016. AKVA group Denmark A/S had another decent quarter, but there is still potential for further improvements financially. The land based segment ended the quarter with a record high order backlog and has after Q2 2016 53% of the total order backlog in the Group. Land based increased its revenues year on year with 74% and was 23% of total revenues in Q2 2016, hence land based is becoming a significant part of AKVA group.
We have experienced continued good market activity throughout the second quarter of 2016. The order inflow in Q2 2016 was 533 MNOK (348 MNOK). The order backlog at the end of Q2 2016 was 822 MNOK (493 MNOK). This is the highest order backlog ever for AKVA group.
The balance remains very strong. Working capital as a percentage of 12 months rolling revenue is 7.5% (10.6%). We are able to maintain a very low working capital despite record high activity. Cash and unused credit facilities amounted to record high 203 MNOK at the end of Q2 (157 MNOK).Total assets and total equity amounted to 1,180 MNOK (1,007 MNOK) and 460 MNOK (417 MNOK) respectively, resulting in an equity ratio of 39% (42%) at the end of Q2.
The merger process of AKVA group's farming services entities (YesMaritime AS, Rogaland Sjøtjenester AS and AD Offshore AS) was completed in June 2016. AKVA group ASA owns 65% of AKVA Marine Services AS. The acquisition process with Techno Dive AS announced in May 2016 has been terminated, however we are actively seeking other strategic opportunities. We expect the farming services market to grow in the coming years and we expect a consolidation of the players. AKVA group is well positioned to participate in this development and will pursue several opportunities.
In partnership with the companies Sinkaberg-Hansen AS and Egersund Net AS, AKVA group ASA established the company Atlantis Subsea Farming AS on February 1st, 2016 with the purpose of developing submersible fish-farming facilities for salmon on an industrial scale. Atlantis Subsea Farming AS has applied for six development licences to enable large-scale development and testing of the new technology and operational concept.
Atlantis Subsea Farming AS is in dialogue with the Directorate of Fisheries and we are waiting for a final decision.
A dividend of NOK 0.75 per share will be paid out in Q3 2016. Total dividend pay out in Q3 2016 will be 19.4 MNOK. The dividend is in accordance to AKVA group's current dividend policy. For further details on dividend please read the full second quarter report and/or a separate stock notice regarding dividend.
We have a good mid term outlook due to high market activity and the large order backlog. The activity level is particularly high in the Nordic market segment. The good demand in the Nordic cage based segment continues, with a shift towards sale of technology for more efficient production. The land based segment has experienced increased activity and improved margins. This trend is expected to continue and the land based segment is becoming a larger part of AKVA group. UK and Europe is expected to perform well going forward with growing order backlog. Canada experience slightly less project sales so far compared to last year and we have moderate expectations in this market going forward. We still have low expectations in Chile, but there are some positive signs towards the end of the year. Our exposure in Chile is reduced compared to prior years. Our Turkey and Australian operations are expected to continue to perform well in the next quarters with a good order backlog. Exports to emerging markets have seen a more optimistic start of the year than last year. The activity is still expected to fluctuate due to the nature of the business. We continue our effort to build service and after sales as a key business element in all our markets and segments. AKVA group is actively seeking strategic M&A opportunities within relevant segments.
AKVA group is a technology and service partner to the aquaculture industry worldwide. The company has around 750 employees, offices in 8 countries and a total turnover of NOK 1.4 billion in 2015. We are a public listed company operating in one of the world's fastest growing industries and supply everything from single components to complete installations, both for cage farming and land based aquaculture.

Victory turn focus to ACL Korea trip
After sealing three points in their opening Asian Champions League game for the first time since 2016, Melbourne Victory's focus will quickly shift to next Tuesday's away clash against FC Seoul.
Victory had a difficult night out - marred by missed chances and turnovers - against Thai outfit Chiangrai United but emerged with a 1-0 win.
"We are not happy with the performance, of course, but at the end we must be happy today with three points," coach Carlos Salvachua said.
"In the A-League (we're) in a difficult situation, a difficult season.
"And now we're going to Korea, trying to do the same (as against Chiangrai) - try to play better than today and as well, to get a good result."
Victory beat Bali United 5-0 at home, then Kashima Antlers 1-0 away to qualify for the group stage, before beating Chiangrai first-up.
"I think that we have to be positive," Salvachua said.
"We have played three games in Champions League - we have scored seven goals in three games and we didn't concede a goal and that is not easy, it's clear."
The Victory players will have Wednesday off, before nine consecutive days of training, travelling and playing.
With an A-League bye this week, Victory will fly to Seoul on Saturday.
Salvachua said Victory would monitor Storm Roux (calf), while Marco Rojas would build fitness with a view to starting either against FC Seoul or in next Saturday's A-League clash against Newcastle.
"Another problem of Rojas is he's not fit and we cannot lose another player, (to injury)" Salvachua said.
"It's a big risk if he plays 90 minutes today and we'll see during the next game - or Newcastle - I think he will finish one of (those) games."
Skipper Ola Toivonen said Victory could take confidence from their play-off win against Kashima in Japan earlier this month.
"That was the first win in the club's history, away," Toivonen sad.
"So it's perfect for us. We know how we approached the game in Japan and how Carlos wanted us to play there.
"And now we have to get the bodies fresh and listen to what Carlos wants us to do and try to execute it."

Pharmacotherapy of suicidal ideation and behaviour
Verkes RJ., Cowen PJ.
© 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. All rights reserved. Virtually all psychiatric disorders, but particularly recurrent mood disorders and schizophrenia, are associated with increased rates of suicide. The use of psychotropic drug treatment for the prevention of suicide is based on the principle that successful therapy of an underlying psychiatric disorder will decrease the risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour. While this has been difficult to establish from prospective trials, epidemiological studies suggest that rates of suicide are significantly lower in patients treated with antidepressants drugs and mood stabilizers. However, this effect could presumably be attributed to the fact that those who seek treatment are less likely to exhibit suicidal behaviour than those who do not. In addition, lower suicide rates of those in treatment may not be due to the specific effects of drug therapy. To some extent these caveats are offset by the fact that drug treatments appear to have differential effects on suicidal behaviour. For example, lithium may be more effective than carbamazepine in lowering suicide rates in patients with recurrent mood disorders. Similarly, the atypical antipsychotic drug, clozapine, is probably more effective than conventional antipsychotic agents in decreasing suicidal behaviour in patients with schizophrenia. While treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors may decrease impulsivity and suicide attempts in patients with personality disorders, benzodiazepines can produce the opposite effect. Whatever the precise mechanisms involved, current evidence suggests that the appropriate use of psychotropic medication in patients with recurrent or chronic psychiatric disorders can make a useful contribution to the reduction of suicide rates.

I spent yesterday listening to His Holiness and it was probably one of the best days of my life. He does radiate joy, peace and love -- I was prepared for disappointment, because really, no hero is genuine, right? The difference with His Holiness is that he's a hero for his humanity, and not because of other reasons, like so many of our heros, who are presented as flawless, beautiful, unerring demi-gods.
No, His Holiness is simply a human being and arrived at his place of wisdom through a lifetime of hard work. That work has allowed him to develop deep understanding and acceptance for the world and all of us sharing it.
A few moments before he was scheduled to appear, the gymnasium fell silent,the colored lights that were twirling everywhere stopped and no one moved.
I hardly knew how to prepare myself, so I just said let me have a clear mind to understand this great man of peace.
When His Holiness walked onto the stage, I knew my fears that I would somehow be disappointed were groundless. How could I be disappointed?
He walked with a gait that reminded me of my grandmother, only quicker and more steady. Still, there was a sense of age to his step. He smiled constantly as he held the hands and hugged the monks there, bowing to them, as if they were the honored guests and he just an ordinary visitor.
He wore the saffron yellow and burgundy robes of a monk and on his feet, flip flops. They made no noise, however, as he walked around the stage greeting everyone.
I felt warm inside, deeply reassured not only that my hero was genuine, but somehow that the entire world wasn't such a bad place after all.
In the afternoon a peacebuilding summit took place ... more tomorrow ... but when I left the gymnasium, I walked into a bright, crisp autumn afternoon. Everywhere I looked, I saw joy -- people playing soccer in a field, friends walking together to the Tibetan bazaar that's set up under the white tents, people carrying their small children. I felt awed by the beauty of everything.

Il torrente epiglaciale, conosciuto anche come bédière, è un corso d'acqua che si forma sulla superficie del ghiacciaio, alimentato dalla fusione dello stesso o dalle precipitazioni.

Formazione ed evoluzione
I torrenti epiglaciali possono dare origine a torrenti veri e propri se raggiungono il fronte del ghiacciaio, oppure sprofondare in un mulino e scorrere all'interno del ghiacciaio (diventando così ipoglaciali). La portata delle bédière può variare notevolmente, da un rivolo d'acqua a portate notevoli, caratterizzate dall'elevata velocità dato il basso attrito del ghiaccio. Le  bédière si trovano in tutti i tipi di ghiacciaio, le più grandi si osservano nelle calotte polari. Contribuiscono all'azione erosiva del ghiacciaio che ha sulla roccia.

Sarens pulled 750m of pipeline with a total weight of 750t in a trench below street level. The cranes were positioned every 35m (= 35t per crane) in a straight line on a narrow access way paved with steel driving plates. To complete this job the pipeline had to be pulled both horizontally and vertically in an arch, with a maximum height of 9m. In order to do this, the middle cranes needed to lower the boom by approximately 6m.

1. Heat the stock. Put the olive oil and butter into a separate pan, add the finely chopped onion, finely chopped garlic and finely chopped celery, cook very slowly for about 15 minutes without colouring. This is called a soffrito. When the vegetables have softened, add the rice and turn up the heat. 2. The rice will now begin to lightly fry, so keep stirring it. After a minute it will look slightly translucent. Add the vermouth or wine and keep stirring - it will smell fantastic. Any harsh alcohol flavours will evaporate and leave the rice with a tasty essence. 3. Once the vermouth or wine has cooked into the rice, add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt. Turn the heat down to a simmer so the rice doesn't coo too quickly on the outside. Keep adding ladleful of stock, stirring and and massaging the creamy starch out of the rice, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. This will take around 15 minutes. Taste the rice to check if it's cooked. If not, carry on adding stock until the rice is soft but with a slight bite. Don't forget to check the seasoning carefully. If you run out of stock before the rice is cooked, add some boiling water. 4. Remove from the heat and add the butter Parmesan. Stir well. Place a lid on the pan and allow to sit for 2 minutes. This is the most important part of making the perfect risotto, as this is when it becomes amazingly creamy and oozy like it should be. Eat it as soon as possible while it retains its beautiful texture.


With the holidays over and the madness of family gatherings behind me, I finally had a chance to think clearly for a hot second.
Drew and I were set to buy a house, and the process was very trying and annoying. In the end we did not buy the townhouse in the urban part of the suburban city we live in. It was a huge relief in the end. We lost our faith in many the system when it comes to buying a house, but still dream of having our own space to just be.
Coinciding to the holidays and house drama my health was starting to change. I spent some time at Mayo for a chest rash and pains. This was not normal and we decided to take a 3 pronged approach. Right now 2 of the 3 are not relieving my symptoms. My next PET scan was moved up to next week to get more imaging and detailed info what the disease is up to in my chest.
All these events led Drew and I to finally take a weekend away in what I like to call the mini-moon. We ventured up to my old college town of Duluth, MN. This city is majestic. A perfect blend of beautiful scenery, old town charm, wealth, poor, and everything in-between. Typical to my nature, I wanted to meet up with old friends and contacts, visit all the places I hadn't been to, and eat delicious foods.
After one night I felt the weight of the world lift off my shoulders. Moments of clarity. Moments of reflection. Moments of stillness.
One person really influenced this process for me. A college professor that I TA'ed and studied with while I was a student at UMD. We met at one of my favorite spaces, Sara's Table, for the first time in years. She came ready for me with guiding questions, readings, documentaries, and, most helpful, wisdom. Per our conversation I have uncovered a few needs that I haven't taped into in a while and where to focus my energies.
1. Find a living space where I can return to city living: walking to the Co-op, hunkering down in a library for hours on end, eating at locally owned restaurants, and being built up by the natural energy of city life. *On our way home we stopped at a converted warehouse to fill out the rental app. Still waiting to see if I am legit to rent a space… again no faith in the institutions.
2. Figure out how to take ownership and action regarding to finances. An intense and painful process for one that so badly wants to work for internal worthiness and economic gain, but sadly cannot work due to the cancer mass thing.
3. Delve into an internal spiritual journey. I have dabbled in and have studied extensively various religions for many years. Over the last 12 months I have really reflected on what doesn't work for me and where I do not fit into. Now it is time to find out what does work and where I find clarity.
A book that was recommended to me by a fellow Peace Corps Volunteer has lifted me to a better understanding of my thoughts. Whenever I read a book I always take bits and pieces and then contribute those parts to my greater understanding. Just as if I were writing a research paper.

Deal near on Google antitrust probe?
No charges possible as company could make voluntary changes
Published December 17, 2012 at 12:17pm
(POLITICO) — Federal regulators may end a two-year antitrust probe of Google's search business by letting the company make voluntary changes, such as limiting use of restaurant and travel reviews from other websites and letting search ad campaigns be easily ported to rival search services, two sources with knowledge of the case told POLITICO.
The FTC is also preparing to enter into a settlement with Google on a related case over how the company uses its acquired stockpile of patents against competitors, as POLITICO reported last week. Under the patent agreement, Google will curtail using key patents it picked up when it purchased Motorola Mobility to block competitors infringing those patents from getting their products to the market, although there are exceptions, sources said.
By allowing Google to voluntarily address some complaints about use of its dominant search and search advertising businesses, the company would avoid a consent decree that could be enforced by the FTC over time. That is sure to upset Google critics and complainants, who will see it as more of a slap on the wrist.


Current state-of-the-art multimedia compliant mobile phones equipped with digital cameras and camcorders have inherent support for networking and thus, enable, access to wealth of digital media. Therefore the problem in no longer the availability and access to digital media but rather finding the useful media items among the plethora of material on the net. Thus there is a need for content management tools and systems to support fast retrieval of digital media items from large archives.
Unfortunately, these mobile devices are using vendor specific operating systems, which makes it hard to provide a generic solution for all mobile devices. Hopefully, most of the modern mobile devices support Java. Therefore our implementation is done in Java for the client application and will have an adaptive GUI so it can adapt to the hardware characteristics of each device. Furthermore, the framework will take into considerations the network capabilities when performing the query posing and result results communication.
For the distributed database queries, the proposed framework will be client-server framework, where the client (as a Java application) runs on the mobile device and the server runs on the PC where the metadata resides while the digital items archive will be distributed on several machines or locations.


The webmaster of the Bachelor of Science website, Beatrice Owen, recently contacted The Physics Groupie about a collection of videos she put together - 100 Best YouTube Videos for Science Teachers. I enjoyed checking out many of the videos myself and they are fantastic so I thought I'd share the wealth here on the SLB. A few of my personal favorites are: "Why is the sky blue?"
