She waited for him. He was coming home after 25 years.
She has changed, not the woman he brought home .She had that unsure gait in his presence, as though wanting to be there yet uncertain. He would wait for her to finish her chores. She would stand there next to the grinding stone and when he called out would slowly walk towards the room where they slept at night.
Today as she sat on the stone steps, she glanced at her feet . Her toe ring was there , tight on her toe . Her sari was new and she bought it just yesterday. He was coming and she wanted to look new . They told her he wouldn't recognize her. She has changed so much, they said .All these years she never once went to see him. She heard about him from his brother.
As she sat there she tried to remember his face, scarred by the sun, his callused hands when they held her last, his eyes moist when he left her. She remembered a mole just above his cheek. Once she had picked at it playfully and he winced as it hurts him . It was lucky his mother told her. He would become a very big man, famous in the village and people would respect him , she told her proudly . She never picked at the mole again.
Today she cooked Ragi and meat. It was simmering in the pot and the smell of meat smothered in spices reached her nostrils .She took a deep breath. Let it simmer she thought like herself all these years simmering.
The sun was shining brightly . She didn't want to get up and go inside, today she didn't want to hide from the sun and its relentless heat . Her toe ring glistened . She wiped her face with her saree . It felt cool and soft .
The fields behind were parched , a land ravaged by gashes. Nothing grew , it was no use . It was not so before. Water was plenty and the fields were filled with swaying crops . Both of them would work in the field side by side . He would take the paddy to the market the next morning and return home late at night . She would have finished all her chores and would wait by the grinding stone for him to call her.
That night he didn't come, she waited and then his friend came. He sat down on the verandah. She stood behind the door. He said her husband would be late tonight as he got held up at the market. He asked him to wait at the house as she was alone. She asked him if he wanted any food. He said no he had eaten and he sat there . She went inside and sat by the grinding stone. The night seemed to stretch. She was nodding off when she felt a hand on her shoulder . It was dark as the kerosene lamp had extinguished. He held her to him and tore at her clothes , she knew something was wrong. She struggled to get out of his hold and fell down hitting the grinding stone.
He came the next morning and called out to her, this time she sat there by the grinding stone and didn't move. He came in and helped her get up .Gently washed her face and hands. He took the grinding stone in one hand and with the other dragged the bloodied man to the verandah. He couldn't recognize his friend. The face was smashed and a mess. He turned back and looked at her. The police took him away that afternoon.

Alewtina Alexandrowna Bilinkina (; * 28. Oktober 1921 in Moskau; † 29. Juli 1951 an der Kljutschewskaja Sopka) war eine sowjetische Vulkanologin und Geologin.

Leben
Bilinkina immatrikulierte sich 1939 für ein Studium an der Geographischen Fakultät der Lomonossow-Universität. Im Zuge der Evakuierung der Universität während des Zweiten Weltkrieges wechselte sie jedoch an das Staatliche Moskauer Pädagogische Institut W. I. Lenin, wo sie 1942 mit Auszeichnung ihren Abschluss erwarb. Anschließend betrieb sie in Sibirien geomorphologische Untersuchungen, bevor sie eine Anstellung an ihrer Alma Mater fand und Junior-Wissenschaftlerin an der Geographischen Fakultät der Lomonossow-Universität wurde.

1948 begann Bilinkina, an der Vulkanologischen Station Kamtschatka zu arbeiten. Zu dieser Zeit brach der Schiwelutsch aus, dessen Aktivitäten sie eingehend observierte und analysierte. Zusammen mit Kollegen bestieg sie 1949 den Gipfel des Tolbatschik. Die Kljutschewskaja Sopka hingegen – der höchste aktive Vulkan Eurasiens – war damals nicht eruptiv. Nur einige Fumarolen wurden registriert. Bilinkina forschte an dessen Hängen, untersuchte die Kraterränder, Schlacken- und Aschenkegel und kartographierte die erkalteten Lavaströme der Umgebung. Sie galt als sehr leidenschaftliche Wissenschaftlerin, die mit viel Enthusiasmus und Risikobereitschaft ihrer Arbeit nachging.

Im Sommer 1951 organisierte die Station eine mehrwöchige Exkursion zur Kljutschewskaja Sopka. Gemeinsam mit Nikolai Ogarkow stieg Bilinkina am 29. Juli in den Krater hinab, um Gasproben zu sammeln und Temperaturmessungen durchzuführen. Am späten Nachmittag wurde sie bei einem Steinschlag tödlich verletzt und in tiefer liegendes Gelände mitgerissen. Ogarkow benötigte zwei Stunden, um ihren Leichnam zu erreichen. Die anderen Wissenschaftler erfuhren am nächsten Morgen von ihrem Tod.

An der Kljutschewskaja Sopka trägt ein neuer Krater, der am 20. November 1951 entstand, zu Ehren von Alewtina Bilinkina ihren Namen. Die meisten ihrer wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten wurden postum veröffentlicht.

Months after his death, Ben's mother granted me permission to re-work his footage into the documentary that Ben was trying to make.
This shocking film combines Ben's footage with family interviews to try and make sense of the complex life double life of an addict, and the impact it has had on those he left behind.

Q: AutoFixture 2 With() isn't working as it did in AutoFixture 1? I'm porting my tests to AutoFixture 2.0, and I've run in to some strange behavior that I can neither explain nor fix.  This simple test is failing for me:
var autoFixtures = new Fixture();
var file = autoFixtures.Build<File>()
                       .With(f => f.Name, "bleh.txt")
                       .CreateAnonymous();

Assert.That(file.Name, Is.EqualTo("bleh.txt"));  // Fail?!

The test succeeds if I change Name to another property of File, which leads me to think that I have some sort of customization present for Name that wasn't working when I was using AutoFixture 1.0.  I've scoured my code, though, and I can't find anything like that.
Enabling tracing doesn't seem to help much.
autoFixtures.Behaviors.Add(new TracingBehavior());

displays, among other stuff:
Requested: System.String Name
    Requested: Ploeh.AutoFixture.Kernel.SeededRequest
    Created: Ploeh.AutoFixture.Kernel.NoSpecimen
  Requested: Ploeh.AutoFixture.Kernel.SeededRequest
    Requested: System.String
    Created: Ploeh.AutoFixture.Kernel.NoSpecimen
    Requested: System.String
    Created: 8a022fda-fa4e-49b7-b0c2-285fef765386

Created: Name8a022fda-fa4e-49b7-b0c2-285fef765386

FWIW, Name is declared as a virtual property of File's base class, and then overridden in File as such:
public abstract class Item
{
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
    ...
}

public class File : Item
{
    public override string Name { get; set; }
    ...
}

If anyone has any ideas on something I might try, or somewhere I might have inadvertently customized the behavior of the Name property, I would be most appreciative!

A: You just found a bug in AutoFixture 2.0. I have now resolved it and pushed the changes to the repository (changeset 3efe812aecd1), so if you download the latest source and compile it, it should work.
In case you are interested, it was related to a virtual property being overridden by a child class - apparently not something I do very often.
Sorry about the bug. Please let me know if the issue hasn't been resolved, or if you have other questions.

UK pricing stance blamed for collapse of energy plan
Deal founders as UN scientists call for a rapid switch to renewable energy
Mon, Apr 14, 2014, 01:00

The collapse of a controversial wind export plan has been announced by the Government on the same day that the UN's top scientific body called for a rapid switch to renewable energy to fight climate change.
Minister for Energy Pat Rabbitte said that "given the economic, policy and regulatory complexities involved" the Irish and British governments had failed to agree terms "to facilitate green energy export from the Midlands within the EU's 2020 timeframe".
Under the plan, three companies – Element Power, Mainstream and Bord na Mona – planned 1,000 turbines in five Midland counties to export three gigawatts of green energy into the British national grid. Negotiations on the multibillion euro deal were called off because "there was nothing left to discuss", Irish officials said last night.
The decision to abandon negotiations on the project, which has featured strongly in the local and European Parliament election campaign, comes before a protest march planned in Dublin tomorrow.
Pay negotiations
The scheme needed a regulatory agreement between Dublin and London, which would, among other things, say who would pay for an interconnector to carry energy to Wales.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny and British prime minister David Cameron agreed, during St Patrick Day talks in 10 Downing Street, that officials would be told to make another attempt to reach agreement.
The move came as Mr Rabbitte warned a deal was "unlikely" because the British side wanted to pay no more for Irish onshore wind energy than it would pay in Britain – even though it would have to be taken there.
Irish sources said no flexibility had been shown by the British department of energy and climate change after the Downing Street talks.
Mr Rabbitte's decision has angered developers who plan to export three gigawatts of offshore energy from a necklace of projects in the Irish Sea. They say the move threatens them, even though the projects are entirely separate.
Brian Britton, who heads one of the developers, Oriel Energy, said: "They have taken only four-and-a-half weeks, rather than the three months set down in the Downing Street agreement." Mr Britton also leads the National Offshore Wind Association.
"It is somewhat ironic in a week which has seen the first State visit from an Irish President to the UK, that the Irish Government has pulled back from a policy initiative which would have demonstrated the real benefits of partnership in both economies," said the association, in a statement.
Mr Rabbitte regretted that a deal with London "has not been possible" but said wind energy exports from Ireland to Britain "are inevitable after 2020".
"Economic analysis conducted on the Irish side clearly indicates that under agreed policy and regulatory conditions, renewable energy trading can deliver significant economic benefits to Ireland and the UK, as well as being attractive to developers," he said.
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan said delaying the development of renewables would "do us nothing but harm".
In its latest report, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said a large-scale transformation of the energy sector from burning fossil fuels to relying primarily on renewables is needed to contain global warming at 2 degrees.
"Without additional efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions . . . emissions growth is expected to . . . result in global mean surface temperature increases in 2100 from 3.7 to 4.8 degrees," it warned.

"Music gave me the power to create a football league. Football has taken me to places that music could have never took me to." Snoop Dogg states in his official trailer.
When he is not in the studio, Snoop Dogg is on the field.
Back in 2005, Snoop created the Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL) in California with the objective to: "provide youth, regardless of race, color, creed, or economic background the chance to learn the values of character, integrity, discipline, and teamwork through football and cheer; to bring all other communities together through a common interest in sports; to promote fair play and fellowship; to teach the game elements promoting safety, enjoyment, and healthy competition".
The documentary series follows along with one of his now 21 teams and the journey they take together to better the youth in the community. The main players who are shown in the documentary all come from a hard homelife, and the football league is something that they can do to get away from home, clear their mind, and learn valuable life skills.
The football league has produced over 50 Division I college football players, an NFL Super Bowl champion, and 12 players in the NFL, which includes one of our own Steeler's, JuJu Smith-Schuster.
The documentary also highlights how many of the kids have to live in the inner cities of California and how life for them everyday could be a struggle.
Currently there are eight episodes that run 30 minutes each, so it is a very easy season to binge watch in a single sitting.

Abstract: What is political economy? This is a controversial question and debate continues, as shown by, and despite, the publication of a huge new volume, one of the 10-volume series of Oxford Handbooks of Political Science. This very valuable series has been a monumental production, under the general editorship of Robert Goodin, of the Australian National University's Research School of the Social Sciences. The extremely useful, although somewhat uneven, Political Economy volume, edited by Barry Weingast and Donald Wittman, has 59 chapters, more than 1000 pages, and aspires to provide a comprehensive coverage of the state (or 'the reach') of the discipline or sub-discipline. But right at the outset of reading this volume we can see how controversial is the question of defining the field - what it is that political economy studies and the methodologies that it brings to its research.


Men, who lost more than twice as many jobs as women during the worst economic slump since the Great Depression, have landed 88 percent of the non-farm jobs created since the recession ended in June 2009. The share of men saying the economy was improving jumped to 41 percent in March, compared with 26 percent of women, according to the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index's monthly expectations gauge.
So here's the question — if men lost 100% more of the jobs in the recession than women, what percentage of new job openings would we expect them to get back if we were looking for an equitable recovery? Is it above 88%? Below 88%? What is the exact percentage?
You might know the answer to this already, but, if you don't. you can do a Mental Experiment. Plug in some fake numbers and find out!
Untitled from Mike Caulfield on Vimeo.
So the 88% does, to some extent, represent a "mancovery", though maybe not by the amount it initially seems (66% of jobs going to men would be equitable so this is about 33% more jobs than we might expect).
Could you have figured this out without an experiment? Absolutely. An easy way to look at this is that if men lost double the jobs, they must have lost 66% to women's 33%. And if 66% of the jobs lost were lost by men, then 66% of the jobs returning should be men's jobs. But that's easy in retrospect. Things like that are not always clear when you first come to a novel problem.
So, the important point is, as always, if you don't understand something, plug some fake numbers in and play around a bit. For most problems like this it's easy and inexpensive to do a thought experiment.
Percentages are a really helpful tool, obviously. But raw numbers can matter too.

SBA Empowers Small Businesses to Be Cyber Safe
Launches Online Resources to Help Entrepreneurs Identify Risk and Guard Against Cyberthreats
Oct 05, 2015, 10:21 ET
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration unveiled today a new cybersecurity webpage for small businesses at www.sba.gov/cybersecurity on the 12th Anniversary of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. The SBA launched the online tools and resources to highlight Cybersecurity at Work from October 5-9th and in recognition of President Obama's annual proclamation to educate Americans about cyberthreats and cybersafety.
"Cybersecurity is one of our nation's most pressing national security priorities, and America's 28 million small businesses, which create two out of every three new jobs in the U.S., are especially at risk. Small employers are quickly becoming a larger target for criminals looking to access sensitive data because small businesses typically have limited resources for information systems security," said SBA Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet. "In an effort to combat cyberattacks against small businesses, the SBA's online tools will help employers identify information security vulnerabilities that put their companies at risk."
A 2013 survey by the National Small Business Association indicates that 44 percent of small businesses reported being the victim of a cyberattack, with an average cost of approximately $9,000 per attack. Small businesses have valuable information cybercriminals seek, including employee and customer data, bank account information, access to business finances, and intellectual property. Small business employers also provide access to larger networks such as supply chains.
The SBA cybersecurity webpage is a resource for small business owners to discover online courses, training opportunities, blogs and webinars, as well as learn cybersecurity information tips, including how to:
Protect against viruses, spyware and other malicious code;
Educate employees about cyberthreats;
Safeguard Internet connections by using a firewall and encrypting information;
Use best practices on payment cards, including shifting to more secure credit card payment technology known as "EMV."
The website at www.sba.gov/cybersecurity also includes key steps to take if a firm is the victim of a cybersecurity attack, as well as links to tools from the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The SBA encourages small business employers to take the Cyber Security for Small Businesses web course for best practices on protecting businesses and customer information, and to visit www.sba.gov/cybersecurity for tips and resources on safeguarding data against cyberthreats.

Motion gestures are an underutilized input modality for mobile interaction, despite numerous potential advantages. Negulescu et al. found that the lack of feedback on attempted motion gestures made it difficult for participants to diagnose and correct errors, resulting in poor recognition performance and user frustration. Here, we describe and evaluate a training and feedback system consisting of two techniques that use audio characteristics to provide: (1) a spatial representation of the desired gesture and (2) feedback on the system's interpretation of user input. Results show that while both techniques provide adequate feedback, users prefer continuous feedback.

Влади́мир Льво́вич Леви́ (фамилия при рождении — Клячко́; род. 18 ноября 1938, Москва) — советский и российский писатель, врач-психотерапевт и психиатр, автор книг по различным аспектам самопомощи и  популярной психологии. Кандидат медицинских наук (1983).

Биография
Владимир Львович Леви родился в семье известного учёного в области теории и технологии получения литейных сплавов, доктора технических наук, лауреата Сталинской премии (1950), профессора Московского института стали и сплавов Льва Израилевича Леви. По отцовской линии семья происходила из еврейской земледельческой колонии Новополтавка Херсонской губернии.

Мать — Елена Аркадьевна Клячко, уроженка Антверпена (из семьи российских эмигрантов), работала инженером-химиком (Владимир Леви до шестнадцати лет носил фамилию матери). Дядя (старший брат матери) — доктор химических наук, профессор Юрий (Юстин) Аркадьевич Клячко.

Окончил Первый московский медицинский институт (1961) и впоследствии аспирантуру при кафедре психиатрии там же, работал ординатором и врачом-психиатром в Больнице имени П. П. Кащенко, затем психотерапевтом, научным сотрудником Института психиатрии Минздрава РСФСР (Всесоюзный научно-методический суицидологический центр проф. А. Г. Амбрумовой), где специализировался в области суицидологии — изучения и профилактики самоубийств; участвовал в создании «телефона доверия» и кризисного стационара.

Совместно с А. Г. Амбрумовой работал над исследованием психологических аспектов пресуицида (1974) как «состояния личности с повышенной вероятностью совершения суицидального акта». Занимался вопросами аддиктивного поведения, психологии музыкального восприятия и музыкотерапии. В. Л. Леви и Л. З. Волков в 1970 году описали три типа патологической застенчивости подростков: шизоидно-интровертированный, псевдошизоидный и психастенический.

В дальнейшем работал в области научной и практической психологии в Институтах психологии РАН и Академии образования; занимался проблемами воспитания детей, психотерапией детей и подростков, психологической помощью семьям, психотерапией экстремальных состояний и личностных кризисов, психологией и психотерапией посредством искусства.

В 1980-е годы занимался также педагогической психологией (хотя по образованию он психиатр).

На протяжении многих лет сотрудничал с журналом и издательством «Семья и школа».

Литературная деятельность
Владимир Леви — автор ряда книг по популярной психологии и психотерапии для широкого круга читателей. Был очень популярен в СССР.

На протяжении 1960-х годов публиковал научно-популярные статьи в журнале «Знание—сила» и других периодических изданиях. Первая книга «Охота за мыслью: Заметки психиатра» вышла в 1967 году в научно-популярной серии «Эврика» издательства «Молодая гвардия».

Далее последовали «Я и Мы» (первая премия Всесоюзного общества «Знание»),

«Искусство быть собой»,

«Искусство быть другим» (все в той же серии «Эврика» издательства «Молодая гвардия»),

«Разговор в письмах»,

«Цвет судьбы»,

«Везёт же людям» (расширенная версия книги «Разговор в письмах») ,

«Нестандартный ребёнок» (1983),

трёхтомник «Исповедь гипнотизёра» и одноимённый аудиодиск со стихами и авторской музыкой в собственном исполнении (последние книги в издательствах «Семья и школа» и «Физкультура и спорт»).

Книги В. Л. Леви многократно переиздавались, переведены на иностранные языки, включая болгарский, украинский, английский и др.

Первые публикации стихов — в 1980-х годах в журналах «Новый мир»  и «Огонёк».

В 2000 году выпустил книгу стихов «Зачёркнутый профиль».

После 2000 года опубликовал книги:

 «Приручение страха»,
 «Травматология любви»,
 «Вагон удачи»,

Ramires leaves Chelsea to join Jiangsu Suning
Ramires has left Chelsea to join Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning on a permanent deal, the reigning Premier League champions have confirmed.
London 27 January, 2016 22:13 IST
Brazil midfielder Ramires' transfer concludes a five-and-half-year spell at Stamford Bridge, during which time he won every major domestic and European club honour available.
The terms of the deal were not officially disclosed by Chelsea, although the fee has been widely reported to be in the region of £25million.
Ramires' first winners' medals with Chelsea came during a decorated conclusion to the 2011-12 campaign, when Roberto Di Matteo steered them to FA Cup and Champions League glory.
Best of luck >@Rami7oficial, thanks for the memories... >https://t.co/sCrsoR9DxJ
— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) >January 27, 2016
The Europa League arrived in the following season, while he was part of the team Jose Mourinho led to the League Cup and Premier League crowns in 2014-15.
In total Ramires made 251 appearances for Chelsea and scored 34 goals.
Twelve of those games came in the Premier League this term, with a substitute cameo at Manchester United last month proving to be his final outing for the club.

Tighter nets for smaller fishes? Mapping the development of statistical practices in consumer research between 2008 and 2020
Antonia Krefeld-Schwalb, Benjamin Scheibehenne
Department of Marketing Management
During the last decade, confidence in many social sciences, including consumer research, has been undermined by doubts about the replicability of empirical research findings. These doubts have led to increased calls to improve research practices and adopt new measures to increase the replicability of published work from various stakeholders such as funding agencies, journals, and scholars themselves. Despite these demands, it is unclear to which the research published in the leading consumer research journals has adhered to these calls for change. This article provides the first systematic empirical analysis of this question by surveying three crucial statistics of published consumer research over time: sample sizes, effect sizes, and the distribution of published p values. The authors compile a hand-coded sample of N = 258 articles published between 2008 and 2020 in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, the Journal of Consumer Research, and the Journal of Marketing Research. An automated text analysis across all publications in these three journals corroborates the representativeness of the hand-coded sample. Results reveal a substantial increase in sample sizes above and beyond the use of online samples along with a decrease in reported effect sizes. Effect and samples sizes are highly correlated which at least partially explains the reduction in reported effect sizes.

Shows » Long-Distance Migration Takes Fuel and Water
Long-Distance Migration Takes Fuel and Water
It's a balancing act
© Minette Layne	View Large
Long-distance migration can be hard on a bird's body. For example, this Swainson's Thrush might migrate between northern Canada and South America, twice a year. In the weeks before such a long journey and during key stopovers en route, the thrush eats like crazy to put on fat. But during the flight, much of the body's water supply is used up. To keep flying, a Swainson's Thrush accesses extra water stored in the proteins of its internal organs and muscles.
Written by Bob Sundstrom
Long-distance migration can be hard on a bird's body. And finishing the journey can require some tradeoffs. [Swainson's Thrush song, http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/206453, 0.13-15]
So, for example: a Swainson's Thrush might migrate all the way between northern Canada and South America, twice a year. [Swainson's Thrush song, http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/206453, 0.13-15]
In the weeks before such a long journey and during key stopovers en route, the thrush eats like crazy to put on fat. That's the basic fuel it draws on, by oxidizing fatty acids stored beneath the skin, in the abdomen, and in its muscles. During the intense breathing brought on by the sustained flight, much of the body's water supply is used up, too. [Swainson's Thrush call, http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/119447 , 0.47-.48, repeated]
To keep flying, a Swainson's Thrush needs to access extra water that's stored in the proteins that make up its internal organs, and especially in its muscles. Metabolizing this muscle tissue generates five times more water than metabolizing the fat supplies. Experiments with Swainson's Thrushes flying in wind tunnels, under moist and dry conditions, have shown that the birds have evolved to do precisely this. It's a balancing act. They lose some muscle—but gain some water.
And are able to complete the ideal migratory path.

Q: Haskell: Caches, memoization, and referential transparency
Possible Duplicate:
When is memoization automatic in GHC Haskell?

I understand that due to referential transparency in Haskell programs, it should be nearly trivial to memoize most functions. Does the compiler (GHC) do any of this? If so, is there an easy way to determine which functions are getting memoized? (Eg. Using the profiler. Preferably without needing to know Assembly)
If not, is there idiomatic way to do memoization in Haskell? In C/C++/Java I usually have a static or global variable that maps inputs to the computed results but I can't think of a way to represent that in Haskell.


Television advertisements, books and popular culture propose many solutions for rapid and easy weight loss. The Atkins Diet -- also called the Atkins Nutritional Approach -- offers one such proposal, as does the Slim-Fast brand. If you cannot decide which of these two weight-loss programs is right for you, it helps to understand their key differences. Consult your physician before beginning any restrictive dietary regimen.
The Atkins Nutritional Approach emphasizes lower consumption of carbohydrate and higher consumption of fat and protein. During the first phase of Atkins, known as Induction, dieters consume as few as 20 g of carbohydrate per day in an effort to achieve "ketosis," a process in which the body burns fat for energy. According to Atkins, this results in rapid weight loss and greater overall health. As dieters advance to subsequent phases of the diet, they gradually increase their carbohydrate intake but continue to emphasize protein and fat.
Slim-Fast is primarily a line of nutritional supplements and meal replacements. While Atkins does produce a line of supplements and snacks, these are secondary to its nutritional approach. With Slim-Fast, the reverse is true. Rather than base the products on the plan, Slim-Fast bases the plan on the products. Slim-Fast encourages you to develop a daily plan based on your unique nutritional goals, using the "Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan": three snacks, two shakes or meal bars, and one 500-calorie meal a day. The Slim-Fast website enables you to enter your personal information to receive a tailor-made nutritional plan.
Atkins and Slim-Fast both emphasize weight loss, and both encourage you to eat about six small meals a day. Both plans target fat loss but place little to no emphasis on muscle growth, meaning they do not provide the best options for fitness buffs and rigorous weight trainers. Both plans require a lot of self-discipline due to their rigid dietary restrictions, but some people find Atkins more difficult and others find Slim-Fast more difficult. For example, meat lovers find Atkins less restrictive, while sweet lovers have a much easier time with the Slim-Fast plan.
The Slim-Fast 3-2-1 plan is not a low-carb diet; Atkins is. The Slim-Fast plan strives to achieve weight loss through caloric restriction, and each Slim-Fast meal replacement and supplement derives its calories from carbohydrates as well as protein and modest amounts of fat. The Atkins Nutritional Approach does not restrict calories. It restricts only carbohydrates, which has made it a subject of controversy. The restriction of carbohydrates may lead to weight loss in some people, but excess fat and protein may negatively affect cholesterol levels and long-term cardiovascular health.
Does Slim-Fast Work for Men?


Sacramento—California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Director Will Kempton joined today with State Senator Tom Torlakson, officials from the State Route 4 Bypass Authority and other local representatives to break ground for the next phase of the SR4 Bypass.
Caltrans is overseeing the project and is a member of a state-local, public-private partnership to build the $103 million bypass, which is funded entirely through developer fees. The fees are collected on new development within the cities, as well as unincorporated areas, in eastern Contra Costa County. The State Route 4 Bypass Authority consists of Contra Costa County and the cities of Antioch, Oakley and Brentwood.
Segment 1 of the 12.4-mile bypass will provide six lanes of freeway between SR 4 and Laurel Avenue in Antioch, and four lanes of freeway between Laurel Avenue and Lone Tree Way. Segment 2 (already constructed) and Segment 3 will provide two lanes of expressway from Lone Tree Way south to Marsh Creek Road. The upgraded road will continue to Marsh Creek Road to reconnect to existing State Route 4.
"The project will help alleviate traffic congestion for motorists and increase mobility in the developing cities of Antioch, Oakley and Brentwood and provide smoother access to southeastern Antioch and western Brentwood," said Kempton.
The project, which is scheduled for completion in the autumn of 2007, is expected to become the new SR4, subject to approval by the California Transportation Commission. It has been in planning for years. Work started formally in 1990 with formation of the State Route 4 Bypass Authority.


Paintball players have seen enough ugly paintball guns. Which is why Real Action Paintball makes an absolute killing selling realistic paintball guns , like the M4 paintball gun.
The beauty of M4 assault rifles is their fire rate, and consistency. Fortunately for the paintball world, Real Action Paintball has managed to go above and beyond on both counts.
The M4 marker is a fully automatic paintball gun. The fire rate of one of these bad boys is better than most guns out there. Including some of the fast firing Dye and Planet Eclipse paintball markers.
As for Consistency, these markers have near pin point accuracy. If you take a look at the picture provided, you'll notice that there is a spot available that is designated for a scope. Which is almost unfair to the competition.
This gun is so accurate, that if you use a scope, it's almost too easy to shoot down the enemy. But I suppose that is how real guns would operate.
In terms of quality and price, you really cannot go wrong with what Real Action Paintball has to offer. You've probably seen Rap4 all over the internet. And that is because they are the new big paintball goliath.
Why has Real Action Paintball become so popular?
because they offer something every other paintball outlet lacks. And that is realism. There is a reason why Airsoft is taking away paintball players.
Paintballers and airsofters want to feel like they're taking part in a real gun fight. Which is exactly the experience that Real Action Paintball provides.
Once you buy a realistic paintball gun and try for yourself, you won't ever go back to the old guns. These paintball markers are the future of our sport. In ten years from now, every good paintball player will be rockin' a rap4 paintball gun.

THAT DAM! MAGAZINE
THINGS 2004.9.3
It's a bold move to have your first ever issue with a cover that simply says, 'This is not a music magazine'. But That Dam! magazine is exactly the sort of publication to be able to get away with it. The independent bi-monthly Amsterdam-based magazine, covers music in the broadest fashion whilst cheekily indispersing it with stories, photos, art and graphic design.
Housed in a disused ballet school studio, it's run by two men – Bas Jacobs (29, musician, teacher and part-time poet) and Bas Morsch (31, graphic designer and musician) – who have watched their little baby grow and develop. That Dam! started off nearly one and a half years ago, after the two Bas' dissatisfied by the slowness of things happening in Amsterdam, decided to kick start an idea they had for a magazine. The readership was there as the lads had, through years of living and playing music in Amsterdam, gathered quite a collection of artists, musicians and general freaks around them. They made one issue and put it out in the city to see the reaction. It was good. This inspired them to do another and now on their 7th issue, the magazine has developed a reputation for honest, original and interesting content.
One of the things that characterizes it, is the emphasis on using various contributors within the magazine, whether it be for writing, illustration or photography. This is so important to both Bas's, that they even suggest they might introduce a rule whereby you can't contribute to subsequent issues, 'It's really vital to stay fresh and original. Only by allowing new people to get involved, do you avoid the risk of ending up appealing to the same crowd every time.'
However it's not just a magazine that the guys have created – it's also a music label, 'not limited to a genre of music but more about the people who make it'. Apart from the excellent music compilation CD's that accompany the magazine, the guys have also released stand-alone singles for artists signed to That Dam!. The label's first release was an unique white 10″ piece of vinyl by Pfaff, ('Think raw and essential rock'n'roll with two drummers … or…headless chicken music) followed by some CD's for other artists including Dress (think poppy melancholy postrock) and Sykosonics. The most popular element however has been the compilations attached to the magazine, 'because of it's regularity it becomes a great showcase for a band's music'.
Speaking of showcases, That Dam! are also involved in the Krawattenklup which also act as a launch night for the new editions of the magazine. The idea is to present a variety of different bands set among other performances which can include poetry, film, classical music and even magic. Their choice of location is also an important factor with one of the most successful being an evening at Zaal 100 in Westerpark.)
With plans afoot to relocate That Dam! to larger and more accessible premises, things are looking good for the Amsterdam duo. They are also currently working on expanding the That Dam! brand to include self-published books including one currently in development which is based around Bas J's poetry, 'the idea is to illustrate it plus also attach a CD with accompanying music. We want to promote it via our existing distribution channels for the magazine, which are mainly record shops, so we can offer it to a much wider audience than the usual arty bookshop crowd.'
The next issue of That Dam! magazine will be out end of September and you can also catch them live at the Crossing Border festival in Den Haag 11th-15th November. For more information on magazine subscriptions and to hear their latest music releases, check out www.thatdam.nl

Actors That Just Can't Stand The Sight Of Each Other
By Charlotte Court in Movies / TV / Theatre on 30 July 2014
Freddie Prinze Jr Kiefer Sutherland Bill Murray Lucy Liu Rachel McAdams Ryan Gosling America Ferrera Kenny Baker Anthony Daniels
As Freddie Prinze Jr explains his dislike of Kiefer Sutherland, which other co-stars have struggled to get on?
Recently, Freddie Prinze Jr. revealed that he thought Kiefer Sutherland was 'the most unprofessional' person he'd ever worked with during his time on the hit show 24 in 2010. While promoting his new Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels at the San Diego Comic-Con, the 38-year-old explained that he took a hiatus from Hollywood as a result of his difficulty playing Cole Ortiz on 24.
Freddie Prinze Jr has revealed his opinion that Kiefer Sutherland was 'unprofessional' on 24
It would seem, then, that actors are often a lot better at their profession than we give them credit for. While viewers watch scenes of love, tenderness, friendship and camaraderie, backstage, certain actors have all sorts of problems with each other.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 Review
By Rich Cline
Bigger and even richer than the terrific 2010 hit animation, this sequel is also quite possibly the best action-adventure movie of the year. Not only are its big set-pieces thrillingly rendered with first-rate special effects, but the characters are complex and involving. And the script effortlessly combines jagged wit, youthful exuberance, heart-stopping romance and even some rather bleak emotions.
Five years have passed since Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) discovered his ability to interact with dragons, specifically his inseparable pal Toothless, bringing a new era of dragon-related fun to the small Viking island of Berk. But now his father Stoick (Gerard Butler) is talking about passing on the mantel of chief to Hiccup, and he's not sure he's ready for that. He'd much rather be out zooming over the ocean exploring uncharted lands. Then on one of his trips he encounters a group of dragon hunters led by Eret (Kit Harington), who is helping the notorious villain Drago (Djimon Hounsou) build an army. But this leads Hiccup to an even more startling discovery: his mother Valka (Cate Blanchett) turns out to be alive and running a secret sanctuary for dragons. Can they team up to stop Drago?
It's a rare film that manages to work equally well in the quiet moments as in the massive spectacle, but writer-director Dean DeBlois never wobbles at all. Without ever manipulating the audience, he seamlessly shifts from tear-inducing happiness to soaringly thrilling battle action to agonising emotional pain. The coming-of-age plot may feel familiar, but it's packed with fresh touches, hilarious observations and some surprising twists and turns along the way.

Dragons Are "Real To Us," Says 'How To Train Your Dragon 2' Director Dean DeBlois
By Sophie Miskiw in Movies / TV / Theatre on 13 June 2014
Dean DeBlois America Ferrera
'How to Train Your Dragon 2' writer and director Dean DeBlois talks dragons and how they've very real to him...
Dean DeBlois, writer/director of How To Train Your Dragon 2 (as well as the co-director of the first movie) believes that dragons are real. Well, sort of. "They're real to us," DeBlois admitted, when discussing the legendary creatures who are the focus on his animated film. "The longer you live with the dragons, the move specific their personality becomes. Someone might pitch out an idea of 'What if Toothless were to do this?' and we would collectively say, 'No, that's not Toothless.' We know enough about Toothless as a character now to know what would be right and something that wouldn't work."
A friendship develops between Hiccup and the dragon Toothless in the first How to Train Your Dragon film
Toothless is the central dragon in the How To Train Your Dragon films, which focus on the relationship between a Viking called Hiccup and a dragon that he befriends and names Toothless.

Might Want To Look For A New Gig - Vitalii Sediuk Banned From Celebrity Events And Put On Probation For Brad Pitt Incident
By Victoria Pavlova in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 01 June 2014
Brad Pitt America Ferrera
Well, there goes Vitalii Sediuk's pranking career.
Vitalii Sediuk, aka the Ukranian "prankster" who has made a career out of harassing celebrities, has had his day in court and – probably – his fifteen minutes. The "prankster" ran out on the red carpet at Wednesday's Maleficent premiere and attempted to punch Brad Pitt, of all people. Earlier this month, he had attempted to dive under America Ferrera's gown at Cannes. This is standard practice for Sediuk and has in fact led to his management dropping him.
To his credit, Brad Pitt recovered brilliantly from the incident.
As of Friday, however, he has even bigger worries. After he pleaded no contest to battery and unlawful activity charges, Sediuk was sentenced to three years of probation, one year of psychological counseling, ordered to stay 500 yards away from all celebrity events, and issued with a restraining order to keep away from Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Yes, that sounds about right.

America Ferrera Kit Harington Cate Blanchett
America Ferrera managed to laugh about the prank a notorious journalist played on her at the Cannes Film Festival whilst promoting her latest film 'How to Train Your Dragon 2'.
America Ferrera was understandably shocked when a man jumped out from amidst the crowd of paparazzi and crawled under her gown at a recent film premiere!

The actress was at the Cannes premiere of How to Train Your Dragon 2 on Friday evening when a paparazzi, renowned for his pranks on celebrities, lunged towards the surprised star. Although the Ugly Betty actress appeared initially shocked, she soon laughed the incident off and spoke to Vulture about her ordeal. In an interview, Ferrera laughed about the incident, claiming she was entirely unprepared for the 'violation'.

Middlesex University London has been accredited by the Living Wage Foundation as a Living Wage employer, which will see its workers - from permanent employees to third-party contractors - receive a minimum hourly London Living Wage of £9.75.
The Living Wage is calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK, and is based on a basket of household goods and services. The sum is significantly higher than both the national minimum wage of £7.05 and the new minimum wage premium for over 25s of £7.50 per hour.
As the 25th university in the UK to commit to the Living Wage, Middlesex has announced its accreditation on the same day that the Living Wage Foundation releases its student survey in conjunction with the National Union of Students (NUS). The survey reveals that 79% of students said they would have a dim view of their employer if they paid anything less than the real Living Wage.
Professor Tim Blackman, Vice-Chancellor, Middlesex University says, "Middlesex is a major employer and contributor to the Barnet and wider north west London economies, and is home to 20,000 students and 1,900 staff at our Hendon campus. It is important that we lead by example.
Living Wage Foundation Director, Katherine Chapman says, "We are delighted to welcome Middlesex University to the Living Wage movement as an accredited employer.
"The best employers are voluntarily signing up to pay the Living Wage now. The Living Wage is a robust calculation that reflects the real cost of living, rewarding a hard day's work for a fair day's pay.
The Living Wage Foundation is an initiative of Citizens UK. It both recognises and celebrates the leadership shown by Living Wage employers across the country. The Foundation accredits employers, co-ordinate the announcement of the real Living Wage rates each November, and also provides a public forum for the campaign.
Recent research by Middlesex University and the University of Liverpool found clear benefits experienced by small businesses who pay the voluntary living wage, including fewer employee disputes, an increase in productivity and motivation, and a reputational advantage over competitors. The study, Putting the Living Wage to Work, was the first UK-wide research of its kind to examine the motivation behind small to medium enterprises who pay the voluntary Living Wage.

RWM COO honored for excellence in compassionate entrepreneurship
Stephen James Reilly
Resorts World Manila (RWM) Chief Operating Officer Stephen James Reilly was given an Outstanding Entrepreneur Award by Enterprise Asia during the recently held Asia-Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards (APEA) in recognition of his role in the creation of the country's first integrated resort and in spearheading RWM's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs.
The Outstanding Entrepreneur Award is given to business leaders who have shown outstanding ingenuity, who played a role in building a company, or raising it to new heights.
Steve, as Reilly is better known, played a key role in the pioneering team that created RWM and essentially jumpstarted the integrated resort industry in the Philippines. Nearly 10 years since then, Steve still considers the day they first opened RWM to the public as a career highlight.
"Getting RWM up and running at a time when the concept of integrated resorts was almost unheard of in the Philippines will always be one of the high points of my career," Steve says. "It was an entirely new business model here and the excitement was palpable."
Enterprise Asia is the region's foremost non-governmental organization for private business. It has held the APEA since 2007, recognizing outstanding entrepreneurship and leadership in various industries across Asia.
"I am very honored to receive this award from an organization as prestigious as Enterprise Asia," Steve says. "Even though it's an individual award, I really consider this as a validation of the great work done by everybody at RWM."
In giving the award to Steve, Enterprise Asia noted not just the impact of RWM in the creation of the now-booming integrated resort industry in the country, but also his role in the development of a sustainable and holistic CSR program for the company.
Under his direction and guidance, RWM has developed a finely-tuned Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) vision with clearly defined commitments that both meet communities' immediate needs and play on RWM's core strengths, resulting in advocacies that lean towards promoting Philippine culture and tourism, creating job opportunities for less fortunate individuals through training and employment, nurturing the arts, and volunteerism.
"I am a firm believer in the principle that those have been given much, have the moral obligation to use their privilege to benefit those who have less," Steve mused. "Large, successful corporations have so much opportunity to create a huge positive impact on so many lives. It's just a matter of finding how your CSR programs can be done sustainably."
RWM is the first one-stop, non-stop entertainment and leisure destination in the Philippines that features recreational thrills, world-class performances, unique events, and exciting lifestyle options.
Conveniently located across Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, with a direct connection via the RUNWAY MANILA footbridge, RWM is an instant gateway to world-class Philippine hospitality.
It is home to six diverse lodging brands, (MAXIMS Hotel, MARRIOTT Hotel Manila, HILTON Manila, HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS Manila Newport City, BELMONT Hotel Manila, and SAVOY Hotel Manila) with two more hotels (SHERATON Hotel Manila and HOTEL OKURA Manila) currently under construction.
Also home to RWM is The NEWPORT Mall which features international luxury brands, state-of-the-art movie theaters the Newport Cinemas, an award-winning, ultra-modern Newport Performing Arts Theater (NPAT), and a cozy, 24/7 entertainment hub at Bar 360.
Dine in one of almost 50 restaurant outlets offering a diverse selection of local and world cuisine, prepared by top Filipino and foreign chefs and paired with a wide selection of the finest wines and popular liquors.
Amp all the thrills offered exclusively by Resorts World Manila by becoming a cardholder! Membership at RWM is free and provides an instant pass to numerous discounts, freebies, and exclusive invites to RWM events.

0 Comments/	in App Update, News / by Aaron Whitfield
In remembrance of the Centennial of Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I in 1918, Nexon and Big Huge Games has announced several historical in-game events in DomiNations that showcase the stories of the war. DomiNations has continued to deliver historic content updates since it's initial release, through dynamic in-game events have highlighted famous battles from the Golden Age to the Cold War, and continues this tradition with today's World War I Armistice Day Centennial update.
Players will log in to find a series of limited-time challenges, newly introduced World War I Generals and Troop Tactics that are historically significant to The Great War.
The DomiNations World War I Centennial General of Armies Event features the commander of the American Expeditionary Force, General Pershing, and the Supreme Allied Commander at the war's end, Ferdinand Foch, as new Generals players can unlock. Players will also be able to deploy Big Bertha for long range artillery, recruit Captain Rickenbacker, the ace pilot, and construct Whippet Tanks, the agile armored vehicles that changed the battlefield.
The limited time event, Thunder of Cannons, will offer players a chance to learn about the significant battles of World War I while earning powerful new technologies, such as the Livens Flame Projector, an experimental flamethrower used by the British to shoot fire at great range.

Big Huge Games Celebrates 3rd Anniversary of 'DomiNations'
Nexon and Big Huge Games, two prominent developers who I've regularly covered in the past, are celebrating the three-year anniversary of their hit strategy game DomiNations. From now until the end of April players can look forward to in-game events and activities for rewards.
"We created DomiNations because it's a game we want to play, bringing history and a deep strategic gameplay into one place," said Tim Train, CEO, Big Huge Games. "Today, we're celebrating each and every passionate player that enjoys building their nation and waging war with their friends just as much as us, as we set our sights on bringing more history-based events and updates to DomiNations."
Starting today and running until April 18th, the "Northwest Passage Event" challenges players to collect diamonds through the storyline of James Cook's Third Voyage. Then the "Global Community Challenge" has players work together to earn points that will unlock rewards for anyone who plays the game. These rewards include supply drops, special sales and discounts, and bonus Troop Tactics. In essence this is one huge collaborative event amongst all players in the game.
In the meantime I'd like to congratulate Nexon and Big Huge Games on keeping DomiNations running for 3 years, what seems to be a long time. Those interested can download DomiNations for free on App Store by clicking here, however, there are in-app purchases. Continue reading this post ->
'DomiNations' Receives New Cold War-themed Content
Nexon and Big Huge Games, two developers who I regularly cover, have released yet another content update for their hit iOS strategy game DomiNations. Focused around the Cold War era, players can now advance one of eight nations through to the 12th iconic historical era with new content, in-game events, and plenty more.
This update adds new units from the time period, allowing players to utilize the M56 Scorpion Tank and BM-21 Grad Rocket Launcher. There's even a few in-game events and "Supply Drops" that will give players bonuses and boosts to help them out. Also worth noting is a significant discount on crown packages, up to 40% off for those who want to purchase those.
During the length of this update every 10 days gamers will get a major production boost, maxing up to 100% bonus overall. Last but certainly not least, the final changes in this update include:
Winter Through The Ages – A seven week-long discount event will feature rolling discount events for each Age.
Moctezuma – The Aztec emperor is the newest addition to the University Leaders who improves resource production and Coalitions for players.
'DomiNations' Updated with New Content, Enter "Atomic Age"
Big Huge Games and Nexon have launched the Atomic Age, the biggest content update yet in DomiNations, the hit mobile strategy game that's been downloaded more than 28 million times. Following the World War era content from the previous update, the Atomic Age includes a series of new units and buildings that represent the decade following the end of World War II. To represent the era's technological progress, Atomic Age introduces new Wonders of the World (see below) and two new game-changing units: the Helicopter and the Armored Personnel Carrier (APC).
The Atomic Age allows players to build an additional Wonder of the World from a new list, including landmarks like the United Nations, The Pentagon, The Atomium and Sydney Opera House. Each provides powerful unique bonuses. For example, the United Nations spawns a peacekeeping force of all the unique units from all nations and provides bonus National Trade Goods each day.
The Atomic Age also introduces powerful new attack options with the Helicopter and APC. The Helicopter is a flying siege unit that fires from a distance that is outside of the range of most defensive buildings, but is weak to fire from defending troops. The APC is a sturdy ground vehicle that deploys additional heavy infantry every few seconds and lays down covering fire with its machine gun.
Currently DomiNations is available for free on the App Store by clicking here, however, there are in-app purchases. Continue reading this post ->
'DomiNations' Global Age Expansion Now Available
Nexon and Big Huge Games are celebrating the first anniversary of DomiNations with the introduction of the Global Age, a massive content update featuring the 10th historic era in the game.

In addition, DomiNations also adds more content such as dynamic in-game events that feature famous battles from World War II, including D-Day and Guadalcanal.
"We're thrilled to reach this milestone in DomiNations, and to celebrate it with the 20 million fans who have discovered the game so far," said Tim Train, CEO Big Huge Games and Project Lead on the title. "World War II is the pivot point of modern history, and as designers we can draw on a rich legacy from that era. We're excited to get all these new features into players' hands as a one-year anniversary gift!"
With the addition of the Global Age, a total of ten different eras from history are now available in the game, and this anniversary update is a celebration of them all. The update also introduces Supply Drops as gifts to all players for the support over the game's first year. Newcomers as well as veterans will find air dropped packages scattered throughout their base, providing a chance to try out the new late-game content and to accelerate their progression through the Ages.
