Where forward thinking terrestrials share ideas and information about the state of the species, their planet and the universe, living the lives of science fiction. Introduction
Featuring Powers of Ten by Charles and Ray Eames, based on an idea by Kees Boeke.
We Are Meaning
DOES THE UNIVERSE SPEAK MEANING?
HAVING SURVIVED MILLIONS OF YEARS
With the same innocence and oblivion of a newborn arriving into the world, we have emerged into this unknown uncertain universe. Stunned by its expanding grandiosity, we have gradually yet subconsciously shed all unnecessary genes and upgraded our physical essence through our information processing mechanism. And so, in order to survive this ever-so-evolving, unforgiving rock, we have consistently changed and are still changing with it.
ANXIETY OF WHAT WE ARE
Anxious to understand what we are and what it is all about, yet never told. We have searched deep within and without for inexplicable answers. And as our consciousness freshly gained ground and allowed for us to be aware of being aware, our desperation for filling the ultimate void got even more aggressive. When we didn't find answers, we took risks and made discoveries. We deduced assumptions, then stored them up in intangible forms, within our minds— Into collections of easily retrievable, consented by, stories— A Human perspective of what the dark unknown may be. Ergo, Meaning: The iconic term which has become the essence of our existence and our most valuable and vital of commodities. Traded daily amongst the most aware savants and greatest risk takers, then trickling down through the rest of us. Meaning allows us, as a species, a sense, a position and a temporary identity within the evolving truth.
THE FLEETING TRUTH
And so continues our adventure— Man's Journey into understanding. The path through the ever-so-fleeting truth. Insatiably exploring the unknown, insatiably building a road map for ourselves and future generations and insatiably uncovering our evolving place in the universe.
THE UNIVERSE DOES NOT SPEAK MEANING
Consequently, this makes us reconsider the preconceived notion that meaning is an external database which we are gradually conquering as part of our journey through the truth vacuum. It is now clear that meaning is not an external library of knowledge but is, instead, our subjective road map into enlightenment. Meaning is our ingenious ability to map and make available to share. It is one of our most innovative, progressive skills, and most vital for our survival— For without it, we wouldn't have stood a chance of competing with other species in dominating this environment while existing in it. Meaning is our own creation.
MEANING IS OUR OPINION OF THE UNIVERSE
Meaning is our own look through the Human lense. A series of agreed upon stories that unite us, give us direction and consolidate our efforts so that we could explore this harsh universe all together. Allowing us a chance of living long enough to uncovering deeper universal secrets. Meaning is why we evolve. Meaning is us. We are meaning.

Ayoub Qanir: The New Face of Tilt Your Perspective Campaign
Film Director Ayoub Qanir
Some of filmmaker Ayoub Qanir's fondest memories are of nights spent watching movies at his best friend's house while growing up in Casablanca, Morocco. It was then that he discovered his love for the fantastical plots of movies like Metropolis, the 1927 German expressionist science-fiction film that put director Fritz Lang on the map. Little did Qanir know that those childhood favorites would later become inspirations for his own budding career in cinema.
"I was blown away by these films and started making my own at age 11 in my backyard," says Qanir, also a writer and industrial designer now living in Miami. "But I eventually had to let it go and became a family kid doing normal stuff because my dad, who was a civil engineer and entrepreneur, just wasn't into it."
After finishing school in Madrid, Qanir moved to America in 2001 to study finance at UM, but making movies remained foremost in his mind. Away from his family and inspired by the anything-goes spirit of college, he soon began experimenting with film again, starting with small documentaries to develop his voice as a filmmaker. "I realized I had this passion for style and design, mixing science with storylines about love and romance," he says. "[Regardless], the lead character has to get the beautiful girl in the end."
Upon graduation, he moved to California to study film direction and production in L.A., where it didn't take him long to find work. His stylish approach caught the eye of the indie rock band Hypernova and Qanir ended up directing three of the group's videos, all the while tackling other writing and directing gigs. One of these was the award-winning short film series Human After All, an existential riff on humanity set 3.7 billion years in the future and featuring the electronic music of the French duo Daft Punk.
He goes even further in his newest project, Koyakatsi, which he wrote, directed, produced and shot two years ago in Poland with a crew of 50. Now in post-production, the short film explores the dangers of pushing the boundaries of digital organisms while integrating elements of art and science in the storytelling. "I wanted this one to be built around an original blueprint," he says, "to go against the grain and build my story from the sciences up and not the other way around." With its otherworldly backdrops and sensual musical integration, Koyakatsi is a testament to Qanir's talent and eye for the unusual. The references to artificial life and unknown organisms that inform the film are not accidental—the director is currently enrolled in a nanoscience graduate program through Harvard University. After that it's off to Poland again for work on another project, Input Output (IO), a feature he wrote about the ways human life and computers share the same energy that he hopes will finally make it to the big screen.
"Going forward I am hoping to interest bankable stars so we can get a large studio behind us with the millions of dollars it takes to make films like this," says Qanir. "I want to entertain and educate and open our eyes to a bigger world."
Ayoub Qanir on Tomorrow Land
Ayoub Qanir on the cover of Tomorrow Land Magazine
1. Tell us about yourself a little. Where do you come from – where is your name from, I mean…what was your childhood/family like – and what do you want to be when you grow up?
I was born in Casablanca then grew up in Madrid, Spain. Since early on, I have always been fascinated by all things film— From American neo-escapism and fantasy adventures to French renaissance cinema from the likes of auteurs Jean Luc Godard and Jean Renoir.
I have always been drawn to epic adventures with a natural sense of style, films like Andre Hunebelle's Fantomas (1967) or Zemeckis' Back to The Future (1985)— Pictures that filled you with a sense of drive and journey. Stories that instilled so deep in me the feeling and urge to re-create those same emotion-filled images of courage and bravery for future generation of moviegoers, wishing to become part of a greater loop.
At a very young age, I begun making shorts with my best friends in my backyard, using my parents' HandyCam. Always trying to depict a hero unaccepting of his conditions, pushed into unfamiliar grounds through immense challenges, trying to impose his vision.
I truly believe the best films are the ones embedded with a notion, whether it be a thought the filmmaker is trying to make aware or a sense of fearlessness we feel when we take the intrepid ride with the lead character, the knight.
In a way mimicking the raw Human initiative into greatness.
2. I think I read once that one should go to college first to study for a career and then go back and study what one loves. I am going to guess that has been your trajectory?
In a sense, yes. Though, I would have to call it a natural evolution and almost an inevitable path; Starting with a Bachelor's degree in Management and Entrepreneurship with a minor in Finance, then flowing into Art Direction, Graphic Design, Music mixing to end with a degree in Film Direction from the Lee Strasberg School in Los Angeles.
Having acquired the skill to ignite entrepreneurial value and maximize budgets through my business studies at the University of Miami, my film productions and endeavors have had great help.
I truly feel my background in business and finance has made my push through the entangled film business a smoother one. Additionally, my current pursuit of further education in Nanotechnology at the graduate program of Harvard University is facilitating my understanding of high concept scientific research and synthesis.
3. Up until now your calling card has been your series Human After All, which features Daft Punk. Tell us about those shorts and how you came to work with Daft friggin' Punk?
I would not go as much as to call it a calling card, though I did have a great time working with the people behind the Punks and the Lemon Book to achieve a great musical and futurist piece; Depicting a future where all that is left of mankind is information stored and safeguarded by being launched into space. Subsequently, naming the series Human After All was in homage to Daft Punk's record of the same name.
It all started when the Editors at the Lemon Magazine offered me to join the team as a creative director. Once in, I saw an opportunity to shed light on their lucid past issues and books, and so the collaboration begun. Two arduous years later, the series and the three shorts were born— Titled; Man, Love and Nature.
4. What is Koyakatsi?
Koyakatsi, the title, was conceived of with the ancient Uto-Aztecan Hopi language, meaning: Life in Balance.
The film-project is a proposal for a new shape of media— A narrative that expands into several forms and outlets.
Additionally, Koyakatsi is, in a way, an attempt to conquer a challenge of how can an independent filmmaker create a high concept project with scope and value.
WIth Koyakatsi, I am also trying to expose novel and ventured scientific data and discoveries under a coat of appeal and robotic marvel— Humankind's ambitions and achievables under one roof.
Today, after two long years of development and production, I am confident to say we were able to create an original world filled with science, grit and magic. Koyakatsi is now out of our hands as we will patiently allow for it to grow and connect with its audience.
5. Watching the Koyakatsi concept trailer I got a Kerry Conran vibe…you know, the guy who made Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? I mean, obviously, you're creating this world using some cutting-edge technology, but, like Conran, you have this awesome and thoroughly modern indie feel. Tell us about your approach to filmmaking, give us an insight into the making of Koyakatsi.
The process started when I wrote a 120 pages (120 minutes) script based on my research on the break into augmented intelligence. Then took my script and partnered with Swedish fantasy painter, Kilian Eng, who assisted me in conceiving of the world and concept scenes for Koyakatsi. Phase three, was to process and synthesize all the canvases with Norwegian design studio, Toxic.
Once the mood and style of Koyakatsi were established, I traveled to Warsaw, Poland, to connect with a brilliant visual effects supervisor and his agency, Brasil production, who introduced me to newly developed CGI softwares; autodesk Softimage and Octane Render with which we built our super realistic sets.
The challenge was to avoid any sci-fi notions or designs and keep the world of Koyakatsi grounded in familiar landscapes and aesthetics.
6. Who are your influences, who do you want to work with, where do you want to go with your film career? Is the goal to turn Koyakatsi into a feature-length film? Is a Kickstarter on the horizon?
My true ambition is to develop a visual language that understands and connects with a generation and subsequently be able to bring-in real value to our socio-sphere.
As a filmmaker, you wish to be as relevant as the audience willing to absorb your work. I am hoping to one day have as subtle an influence into world intellect as did great minds and auteurs Claude Sautet, Jean-Pierre Melville, Jean-Luc Godard, David Lean or Michael Curtis.
At this moment, I am allowing for Koyakatsi to breathe, for a second, as we consider options within the studio system. Later on, we will see what other options emerge.

DANIEL DUME
Life is never what it seems.
Family, Friends, Love; all are taken for granted, appearing constant in ones youth — no matter what, they will always be there for comfort and support, through good and bad. But one day all of that changed for Daniel; he found himself blown into a whole new world of chaos, madness, and adventure. Abandoned by his family and former life, Daniel has lost everything; now he must do what is necessary to survive and fulfill his destiny.

Flowers have always made me disproportionately happy. There's something innately charming about the different personalities of flowers; their beautiful varieties, scents and colours, always in abundance. For as long as I can remember, I have delighted in the presence of flowers – an enthusiasm that has extended towards most things, from flower arranging, decorative fabrics and interior styling, to my university years studying surface pattern design and creating floral-inspired products early on in my career (a passion which I still indulge in now).
This love for flowers has naturally evolved into an interest as to their true meaning. A flower, from the origin of its name, to its distinctive characteristics, is infused with symbolism and meaning. This 'language of flowers' is commonly referred to as Floriography and focuses on the notion that through the use of flower arrangements, you are able to convey feelings and thoughts. Hanakotoba is the Japanese name and form of this practice, where codes and passwords were used for each plant to express emotions.
I have never needed a reason to buy a beautiful bunch of flowers other than their simple ability to lift my mood or fit any occasion. Perhaps it's their belonging to nature that draws me in so effortlessly, or the deep-rooted mythology attached – either way, their presence has always been an important part of my life and home.
ENTHUSE TOGETHER . . .
Whether you have a charming bouquet that you're completely delighted with, discovered a wonderful wall of blooms on your wanders, or have created a beautiful styled scene with some of your favourite flowers – use #aflowerenthusiast to share your photos. It would be a joy to have you join and share your floral-inspired captures with me and others in the community. You can also tag and mention @aflowerenthusiast on Instagram, where I will regularly feature my favourite images from the hashtag.
'A Flower Enthusiast' is a lighthearted term that my friends and family use to refer to me, one which I have wholeheartedly embraced through sharing my joy of flowers with friends in the online community. My journal will include a regular series that will document this enthusiasm for flowers, from my journey with gardening, a passion for floristry and floral styling, to notes on the unique everyday uses of flowers and botanical inspiration.

Imagine if your health and safety responsibilities involved jousting events, wild west shootouts, sword fights, one of Britain's most iconic historic buildings and a massive collection of cannons! Where would you find a qualification that could help you with all of that?
When Rustam Sadykov applied to attend Ufa State Petroleum Technological University in Russia after leaving school 17 years ago, they said he was welcome to take any chemical related subject of his choosing after he came second in a state-run chemistry competition.
When Balbinder Garcha, or Bal as he is known to his work colleagues, got his very first taste of health and safety at work, his immediate response was "this is something I enjoy" and the rest, as they say, is history.
There are many good reasons to take a vocational qualification when you are at the beginning of your career, but what if you've got over 20 years of work experience under your belt?
Sometimes life can seem like a bit of a lottery, especially when it comes to finding your perfect job. It's almost like your CV gets thrown out there and then perhaps, if you're very lucky, one day a position that is exactly right for you might just come your way.

Today the Boise Parks Dept. announced a move to "increase traffic flow" within Ann Morrison Park by allowing two-way traffic.
That means cars can come and go at either the Capital Blvd. or Americana entrances. Previously there was one-way traffic. The GUARDIAN can remember when the park was a "cut through" and those damn kids used to hang out with their cars which prompted a one-way system with no exit on Americana.
Then there was "the cruise" along Idaho and Main with all those kids again. Now we have a "vibrant downtown" full of bars and restaurants.
But we also can remember when they made one-way streets downtown to improve traffic flow. That was before they made two-way streets in an effort to make the public streets more bicycle friendly and get people out of their cars.
Making the park more auto friendly and the streets more bike friendly is sort of like coming out against a private airstrip in the foothills outside the city limits, but planning a police shooting range in an area subject to residential development south of Gowen Field after spending tax payer dollars to buy a foothills shooting range.
It will be interesting to see how the Ada Commishes handle those two matters.
rabula
"…spending tax payer dollars to buy a foothills shooting range."
Please clarify. I was under the impression that the firing range next to the Military Reserve was privately owned by a non-profit association.
EDITOR NOTE–Rabula, the purchase/trade with the two Boise Coppers who bought the range from the Association was and remains the focus of my angst. The City did a three-way trade with the doctors to avoid putting the land at 25th and Fairview up for bid while getting the docs to purchase the shooting range from the city employees (illegal for the city to buy from employees) and then trade the foothills range for the 25th and Fairview property. All based on 4-year-old declaration of "surplus property. St. Lukes' bought out the docs who had planned a private hospital at 25th and Fairview and now owns the land which remains vacant.
Yossarian_22
I can remember back when we had 2-way traffic in the park and it was like a car show down there. It was the 70s/80s and hot rods were everywhere. I wonder if we'll see them again.
City traded 25th & Fairview (appraised for $975,000) for
police range (appraised for $750,000)
+ commerical property (950 Citation Ct—valued at $415,00).
City realized $190,000 net gain in asset value and added 8.57 acres worth millions if developed to city reserve/parkland that surrounds it.
Where were taxpayer dollars (mis)spent?
EDITOR NOTE–The deal was structured to circumvent the law period. If it was so important to get the range at that location, why is it being moved so soon afterward? There was no hearing on the trade and council even admitted they "wanted" the land to go to the doctors!
Editor, every change is reason for a tax and fee increase. They're just rotating the stock and letting a new generation of sheep thing they are making progress.
Now we hear the mayor wants to "go around" the legislature and state law implement a local option tax so he can spent more.
It is very clear that the mayor and council simply cannot live within the amount of tax money they already get and that taking more of our money is such a high priority that they will give the finger to state law and the legislature.
This next election we need to vote out any legislator that support taxing us more via local option taxes!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to a fresh start. A new chapter with new questions to be asked, embraced and loved! First, I want to thank each and every one of you for following along in 2017! It was a year of excitement and change, but one that I learned so much from. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! If you missed my 2017 recap, you can read it HERE!
Each year leading up to NYE, I start thinking about how I can make the next year better and what I want to accomplish. I then jot everything down in my phone and continue to think about each. Sidetone: While this is very personal for me to share, I consider all of you my friends and want to share everything with you and maybe, one of these resolutions will speak to you and you'll add something from this list to yours!
Be Graceful – Grace. What is grace? The actual definition is: "the unmerited favor of God toward humanity." God poured out His unwavering, undeserved grace on us, so it's our job to have grace with one another. I believe that delivering grace says more about the deliverer than the recipient. The grace giver is said to be patient, forgiving, and overflowing with love. This year, I want to be the grace giver! I want to spread grace to my loved ones and community as well as giving myself some grace along the way!
Be Present – Being present means not thinking about past events or future plans, but rather living each moment, in the moment, as it comes. This year I want to focus on what is happening now. Be happy now! No more playing the comparing game. Be present to God, the hubs, friends, family and guests wholeheartly!
Be More Intentional – Intentionally spend time on what matters most. Focus on doing more of what I love, less of what I don't. Why I want to be intentional? Because I want to do more than just get by. Because of dreams and aspirations and life!
Quiet Time – With so many things vying for our attention in the natural world (phones, the gram, TV, gossip, etc.), it makes sense that a still small voice could get lost in the shuffle. For me daily (morning) quiet time is when I actively see God. It's my prayer time and where I ask for forgiveness and express thankfulness and gratitude. I also incorporate a daily devotional (my favorite is here – Jesus Calling) or open my First 5 App.
Run 500 Miles – I did the math… that's under 1.5 miles a day // almost 10 miles a week! I keep telling myself I CAN DO IT!!!
So today, or this week/weekend take time to figure out what God's been up to in your life, what kinds of blessings and gifts He's given to you. And don't forget to give yourself a little break now and then, eat some good chocolate, drink a good glass of red wine, and spend some time with Jesus and your people. You'll all be a little better off for it!
Amazing post!! Thanks for sharing with us!


The Garland Health Department (GHD) received a report of a laboratory-confirmed human case of West Nile Virus (WNV) in an individual who lives on the 3200 block of Bending Oaks Trail (near the intersection of Belt Line and Jupiter roads). This is the first confirmed human case reported in Garland in 2018. The resident was diagnosed with West Nile Neuroinvasive disease, the most severe form of WNV infection. GHD has treated the area with adulticide to reduce the mosquito population and will continue to monitor for the presence of WNV throughout Garland.
Thus far in 2018, WNV has been detected in 22 mosquito samples trapped by GHD. The presence of the disease in mosquitoes means that transmission to humans is possible throughout the city, so residents are urged to take preventive measures. Residents can view a map depicting areas where WNV virus has been detected and subsequently sprayed to reduce the adult mosquito population on the City of Garland webpage at GarlandTX.gov/gov/hk/health/services/nile.asp. Spraying activity can also be found on Garland's Facebook and Twitter pages.
WNV rarely causes severe illness or death, but residents should remain vigilant and take common-sense precautions to minimize the risk of exposure. To protect yourself from exposure to WNV, limit outdoor activity during evening and early morning hours when mosquitoes are most active. While outdoors, wear light-colored, long-sleeve clothing and use an insect repellent containing DEET, according to its label directions. Most importantly, residents should take measures to eliminate any standing water on their property, such as birdbaths (clean them twice per week), pet water dishes, clogged rain gutters, tires and buckets. Containers that can hold water for just a few days can breed mosquitoes. Report to GHD any standing water that you are not able to personally eliminate.
If you have questions or would like to report standing water, call GHD's mosquito control hotline at 972-205-3720. Further questions about WNV should be directed to the City of Garland's website, GarlandTX.gov, or 972-205-3460.

Storms juggle lineup at Faster Horses festival
Adam Graham
After an evening storm caused a two-hour delay at the Faster Horses country music festival on Saturday, the gates have reopened and programming is set to resume.
Brad Paisley will take the stage at 11:15 p.m., two hours after he was originally slated to perform.
The set by Dwight Yoakam, which was set to precede Paisley's, was canceled and will not be rescheduled.
Earlier in the night, the fest grounds were cleared and fans were sent back to their campsites as a storm threatened to beat down on the Michigan International Speedway grounds.
The announcement came at around 7:45 p.m., just after Justin Moore's wrapped his performance on the main stage.
"Attention: due to storm cells with high winds and/ or thunder and lightning in the area, we need to clear the festival site," a message posted on the video screen on the main stage read. "Please move quickly and calmly back to your campsite or a protected area. Please seek shelter for your safety."
The day's programming had already been delayed an hour due to a nasty storm that quickly whipped through the area earlier in the day. Programming resumed just before 3 p.m., and the gates opened at 2:30, several hours later than originally planned.
Faster Horses, currently in its third year, drew a sellout crowd of 40,000 to the grounds at Michigan International Speedway this weekend.
Florida Georgia Line is scheduled to close the festival Sunday night.

Yup. Going to CA again.
They need someone for one more week out there to help out while the new guy is back here in NY training. My turn again.
Will be going for another week, 4/11-4/17. The timing is kind of crappy in a way because I've been so busy lately. This includes going to Atlantic City this coming weekend for a bachelor party. I should get home from that on Saturday (4/10) but then have to finish packing and get up early the next day to catch a flight to CA.
Not all bad though I guess. Will try to get around and see a few more sights this time. Or if possible get to see a few during the day that I saw at night. Was cool to get around to everything at night last time (especially with some of the views) but I'd like to see them in the day too and maybe be able to snap a few pics that will turn out OK.
Pretty much same plan as last time. Fly out Sunday morning. Arrive in CA Sunday afternoon. Work all week. Leave there Saturday morning and get in here Saturday night.

The fictional HBO series Game of Thrones, already in its fourth season and slated to run for at least another 2 years has once again garnered a number of impressive awards and accolades. Loosely based on the novel A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, viewers are immersed into a fantasy world of endless struggles for power and status. Strategic alliances and dynastic marriages, including a ruthless queen impregnated by her own brother are an important part of the story line. Surprisingly, that part is not as fictional or fantastic as it appears. Throughout Western history, dynastic and inter-family marriages were an important part of foreign and domestic policy. Frequently resulting in changes of position or international stability, not to mention the passing on of hereditary traits and diseases, such unions were rarely motivated by considerations of affection or happiness.
Following the Reformation, the most important factor in dynastic marriages was the matter of confession. Inter-confessional marriages within the higher nobility were nearly impossible. In the few rare cases in which such a cross-confessional marriage was affected, public opinion expected if not demanded the conversion of the bride. As each dynastic marriage represented in investment in the future, the most important factor regulating such union was exclusivity or parity. Members of a ruling house usually did not marry minor nobles. Such bad matches had the potential for a considerable reduction in social prestige and the squandering of social capital. During the tumultuous and rebellious times of the 19th century, various European dynasties sought new strategies of maintaining their dominance within the increasingly bourgeois societies. Yet bourgeois society itself, in the face of aggressive nation building, imitated aristocratic mannerism when it came to marriage.
Lea Mendelssohn and Amalie Beer had become joined by the marriage of Abraham's niece Betty to Heinrich Beer. While Lea had reluctantly agreed to the baptism of her children, Amalie was determined that her son Giacomo Meyerbeer would retain his Jewish identity. But Giacomo had other problems as well. He was already 33 and living in Italy, and "His nervous afflictions, real and imagined," multiplied as the years passed. He kept in close touch with his family in Berlin, and reported all manners of "nervous exhaustion, stomach ailments, digestive problems, headaches, and painful skin rashes." His parents turned a blind eye to various short-lived romantic episodes, but when it came time to marry, the wife would have to be appropriate to their elevated position. So Amalia went to considerable effort to find the right mate for her son, and when a match with an Ephraim descendant did not come to pass, she selected Giacomo's first cousin, Minna Mosson. Minna was the daughter of Joseph Moses who subsequently changed his name to Mosson, and Johanna Liebmann Meyer Wulf, the younger sister of Amalia Beer. And so it came to pass that Giacomo married Minna on 25 May 1826. Game of Thrones would tell you that such arranged inter-family marriages were automatically doomed to failure; I'll tell you next time how Giacomo and Minna got along.


Choice involves mentally making a decision: judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one or more of them. One can make a choice between imagined options ("what would I do if ...?") or between real options followed by the corresponding action. For example, a traveller might choose a route for a journey based on the preference of arriving at a given destination as soon as possible. The preferred (and therefore chosen) route can then follow from information such as the length of each of the possible routes, traffic conditions, etc. If the arrival at a choice includes more complex motivators, cognition, instinct and feeling can become more intertwined.
Simple choices might include what to eat for dinner or what to wear on a Saturday morning - choices that have relatively low-impact on the chooser's life overall. More complex choices might involve (for example) what candidate to vote for in an election, what profession to pursue, a life partner, etc. - choices based on multiple influences and having larger ramifications.
Choice is a fictional character that appeared in Malibu Comics Ultraverse line of comic book series. Her first appearance was in Hardcase #2, and appeared mainly in that title.
Amy Tran Kwitny was the young woman who went on to become Choice. The Choice Corporation's desire to create a corporate spokesmodel to compete with Ultratech's corporate symbol, Prototype, led to the creation of Choice. Amy Tran was a former subject of Aladdin experiments and considered an ideal subject. She was reacquired by the agency to be their test subject.
Aladdin and NuWare pooled their resources to make Amy Tran the first bioenhanced ultra. Sections of her brain were replaced with wetware implants created from the brain tissue of Forsa and Starburst, former members of the Squad. A period of testing and mental conditioning ensued, and Choice, as Amy Tran was now called, was turned over to CEO Bob Dixon, who used her as a spokesmodel and mistress.
A media sensation, Choice endorsed the Choice Corporation's products. They planned to later reveal her ultra powers, thereby skyrocketing her popularity. Unfortunately, her mental conditioning began to break down due to Dixon's sexual abuses. Choice was moved to Brazil to be reconditioned, but escaped.
Choice consists of the mental process of thinking involved with the process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one of them for action.


The Divine Time Traveller Comedy.

So like 400 years from now, the study of eschatology will be denounced as a Heresy because of Acts 1:6-8, being ruled as a fleshly interest not leading to any real edification or unification of the church. The time spent on figuring out how it all ends is spent on building the kingdom through people's lives instead and the kingdom of God flourishes.
Pretty funny those things time travellers say.

"BGEA: What is a cult?"
The above is the archived page. It used to be on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website. It says unequivocally that Mormonism is a cult.
Try searching for this page now, and you get "Our apologies, but the article you requested doesn't exist." But through the miracle of "nothing ever goes away permanently on the Web," it is still retrievable. And you can read Billy Graham's opinion from Wednesday that Mormonism is a cult "which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith."
Billy Graham met with Mitt Romney on Thursday in Montreat, NC, and told him that he wanted to do "all I can" to see him elected president.
All previous statements are now inoperable.


In La Gomera you move from landscape to landscape as the exuberant and magical natural surroundings slowly envelop you.
La Gomera is located only 30 kilometers from Tenerife and it's the second smallest island of the Canaries archipelago. The island is perfectly connected with Tenerife by boat and plane. Two different ferry operators offer three daily boat trips between the two neighbouring islands, and there are two daily flights between La Gomera and Tenerife.
From the seven major islands of the archipelago of Canary Islands, La Gomera is the one that retains in better conditions its customs and traditions. Only in La Gomera you will be able to listen to the low grounds whistled, a language that has been used since the ancient tappers lived here, who used it to communicate through large distances by whistling. In addition, the island welcomes popular traditional festivals focused on its gastronomy that is fraught with unique elements. The most popular dishes are watercress soup, palm honey, an exquisite delicacy made from the 'guarapo', name given to the sap of the palm tree.
The Garajonay National Park is a World Heritage Site, with the most unique and emblematic forest in the world. It offers a journey to the Tertiary and mysterious locations covered in dense fog, just as you would imagine in a mystery story.
La Gomera offers unique shooting locations. It is home to a National Park which is a World Heritage Site since November 1986, when the UNESCO Committee included the Garajonay National Park in the World Heritage list, giving it the highest international category that a protected area can get. The National Park, in the centre of the island, covers an area of 3,984 hectares, which is around 10% of La Gomera.
This valuable natural area provides the best example of Canarian laurisilva, the laurel forest, that reflects an image of how southern Europe and North Africa could have looked like millions of years ago. La Gomera is the home of one of the most unique and emblematic forests in the world.
Other values of the National Park are the diverse vegetation and the spectacular geological monuments, such as the Roques de Agando.

Poland Introduces 30% Cash Rebate for Film Productions Featured
Katarzyna Grynienko 2018-07-31
WARSAW: The Polish Government has approved a new draft bill offering a 30% cash rebate on qualifying film production expenses. The Polish Film Institute will have a 200m PLN / 46m EUR budget to refund partial costs of film production in Poland.
Ten percent of the budget will be allotted for animated films and animated series. Submissions and the final reports, which will be the base for refunding, must be evaluated within 28 days each, which will make Poland competitive on the international market.
The new law is still awaiting parliamentary approval but it is expected to be passed by the Polish parliament soon.
The new Polish law will allow up to 30% of the production budget to be refunded once the applicant fulfills all the necessary conditions. Neighboring countries are currently offering cash back production incentives from 25% up to 45% of production costs. Romania recently announced a cash back incentive of up to 45% and Hungary has just announced an increase of its incentive to 30%.
Polish producers, coproducers and contractors offering film production services will be able to apply for a partial reimbursement of qualifying production costs spent in Poland. The refund will come after the company has signed a special contract with the Polish Film Institute, finished the production, spent the money, paid all necessary taxes in Poland and submitted all the required documents.


Custom mouth guards are the safest and most efficient way to protect your teeth. When you meet with Inri T. Hsu, DMD, she will spend time going over your lifestyle and learning about your sport. This will allow her to create a mouth guard that's ideal for your situation. A custom mouth guard is the surest way to protect your teeth from occupational or sport related damage. If you need to have a mouth guard made, schedule an appointment at Pecos Dental in Henderson, Nevada. Book either online or over the phone.
You only need to wear your mouth guard while playing your sport or while sleeping; it's not something you have to wear all day.
Do I need a professional mouth guard made?
It's best to have a custom, professional mouth guard that's designed just for you, especially if you're an athlete. After all, roughly one-third of all dental injuries in the United States are sports-related, according to the American Dental Association.
Because professional mouth guards are designed perfectly for your mouth, they won't affect your breathing if you play sports.
While you can undoubtedly get one-size-fits-all mouth guards at a store or online, these mouth guards can shift and fall out. Not only that, store-bought mouth guards can rub against your gums, cheeks, and lips causing open sores. This can lead to severe discomfort and bleeding.
Dr. Hsu will take impressions of your upper arch, and possibly your lower arch if you need a lower mouth guard, too. Then, she molds specialized plastic material over the impression model of your teeth, forming your mouth guard on the spot.
After your custom mouth guard is complete, Dr. Hsu will have you try it on to ensure proper fit and comfort. If it feels uncomfortable in places, she can make adjustments right away so you can start wearing your custom mouth guard the same day.
Pecos Dental offers flexible scheduling for patients who need custom mouth guards. Book your appointment by calling the clinic, or by using the online booking feature.

McCrory: Roy Cooper has consistently supported expanding Obamacare, even though it has been an unmitigated disaster for North Carolina families and small business. He continued to defend Obamacare even while rates skyrocketed, patients were forced to give up their doctors and choices were reduced for consumers with Aetna leaving the marketplace. The President has refused to allow us to create a North Carolina plan. I have expanded Medicaid services for those who cannot help themselves, including those with Alzheimer's.
Q: What reforms would you make to the state's Medicaid program, if any, and if those changes are made, would that change your mind on whether to expand it?
Cecil: Federal recognition that state-paid Medicaid is an insurance plan for the citizens that are served.
Cooper: I believe North Carolina needs to reform cautiously instead of rushing headlong into the privatization of Medicaid coverage. Our Community Care of North Carolina is lauded as a national model for health care that is patient-focused and driven by collaboration between doctors and other medical professionals. Instead of abandoning the practices that are providing better care more efficiently, North Carolina should learn from its work and build on the success.
McCrory: One of our first challenges upon taking office was how to grapple with a Medicaid system that consistently overspent its budget by billions of dollars, jeopardizing investments in education and other priority areas. The system I inherited was not designed to improve the overall health of patients. In other words, we were spending more than $13 billion on a federally mandated program with little accountability or focus on results. When I took office, we discovered that the Medicaid budget had a $500 million mis-forecast, meaning the taxpayers were on the hook for much more money than expected.
[In NC, thousands still lack insurance and health care; what should the state do?]
Since 2013, our administration has been working diligently to stabilize our Medicaid program and work with the health care community to push for needed reforms to improve accountability and the quality of care. After finishing in the red for years, Medicaid is now in the black with a surplus, and the historic reform bill I signed in 2015 will help to improve patient care and hold down costs.
The state of North Carolina should see these reforms through regardless of the potential of future Medicaid expansion.
Q: How should the state increase access to nutritious foods in high-poverty areas?
Cecil: Sales tax waivers on small unincorporated vendors at "farmers markets," so local growers can offer current fresh produce at minimum costs in high poverty or food desert areas. Encourage local government to clear tax delinquent property and assign the land to food co-op or community garden projects with five-year plan cycles.
Cooper: Food deserts are a serious problem in both urban and rural communities throughout our state. The challenge for families in these areas is that there are no supermarkets or grocery stores to purchase fresh and nutritional food. One solution with bipartisan support is to help equip local neighborhood stores to sell and store these items. We must also make sure that our schools offer quality, nutritional meals so that children have access to healthy fare no matter where they live.
[Read our state report card series]
McCrory: The problem of food deserts and access to nutritious foods is a unique challenge in our country, particularly in low-income and rural areas of the state. We are looking for ways to expand education of healthy eating and lifestyle choices, and I am committed to working with the legislature on opportunities to improve nutritional health so North Carolina's children can reach their full potential.
Q: Should North Carolina eliminate its religious exemption to the requirement that children be vaccinated against disease?
Cecil: No. Vaccination is not 100 percent effective and is an invasion of person. State would be applying force to citizens that are too young to make their own informed decision, for something that was not proven essential to life. A child without vaccination would not be a risk to any vaccinated child, only perhaps to another child that was not vaccinated for the same reason.
Cooper: This is an issue where we need to be guided by science and facts instead of political agendas. Failure to vaccinate children leads to the spread of severe, preventable diseases. We should agree on a safe, effective schedule of vaccinations and encourage parents and caregivers to keep North Carolina healthy by vaccinating children and not allowing preventable diseases to spread.
McCrory: A bill to eliminate religious exemptions to North Carolina's vaccination laws failed in the General Assembly last year after concerns were raised by parental and religious groups. This is an issue which brings about passion from both sides of the debate, but I am committed to upholding the laws of North Carolina as governor to ensure public health and safety.
N.C. Report Card
The News & Observer, the Charlotte Observer and McClatchy assessed the state of North Carolina as the Nov. 8 election approaches, with a particular focus on 20 measures of how the state is doing compared to previous years and compared to Georgia, Virginia and the rest of the nation. This week, a look at health in North Carolina.
Overall health ranking
North Carolina is below the median but has risen five places since 1990 in a ranking of states' overall health compiled by United Health Foundation based on analysis of behaviors, community and environmental conditions, policies and clinical care data.
Sources: American's Health Rankings, United Health Foundation
North Carolina is following a national trend of a slow reduction of infant mortality but still trails the U.S. average. Virginia has made more progress in the past 25 years. (Chart shows deaths in the first year per 1,000 live births.)
Sources: U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, National Vital Statistics
Obesity rate
North Carolina's increase in the obesity rate has slowed recently, bringing it almost even with the national average and placing it between the averages in Georgia and Virginia. (Percentage of people with a body mass index of over 30.)
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Primary care physicians
Slight gains across the board in the past 10 years leave North Carolina a little under the national average and its northern neighbor Virginia, in the number of primary care doctors per 100,000 people.
Percentage uninsured
North Carolina's percentage of people without health coverage - once better than the U.S. average - is now more than two points worse. North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia have not expanded Medicare under the ACA.

South Sudan says closer to eradicating guinea worm
Sudan Tribune
December 12, 2017 (JUBA) - South Sudan is closer to eradicating the guinea worm disease in the country, top officials said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a guinea worn eradication evaluation symposium in the capital, Juba, First Vice President, Taban Deng Gai emphasised the need to strengthen existing mechanisms to prevent the disease from resurfacing since the country registered no case in the last one year.
"As we celebrate today I wish that you re-examine the teams, mechanisms and models that you have put today, so that we don't have a resurface of this disease," said Gai.
Guinea-worm disease, according to World Health Organization (WHO) is caused by the parasitic worm Dracunculus medinensis. This worm is the largest of the tissue parasite affecting human beings.
He stressed the need to strengthen surveillance to prevent re-infection, improve public awareness and increase safe water to villages.
Minister of Health Riek Gai Kok said the latest success demonstrates the effective collaboration between government and partners like Carter Center, World Health Organization, UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and World Food Program (WFP).
"I am pleased to announce that South Sudan has gone 12 months of zero cases of guinea worm disease since the last case was reported in November 2016," Kok said.
He said the health ministry is rolling out its county health initiative program to bridge gaps in access to basic health services for the majority of South Sudanese.
Kok added that this initiative will draw lessons from the successful community-based guinea worm eradication program.
"The implementation of the Boma initiative will also build synergies necessary to effectively take South Sudan across the finish line and be certified free of guinea worm disease and elimination of other neglected tropical diseases," he said.
According to the WHO, guinea worm is endemic in South Sudan, Ethiopia and Chad.

Joining Chalk the Sun has really built my confidence as a writer. Before I joined I had not let anyone read my work. Now, I can't wait to read out my latest effort in class. It's fantastic to have a sympathetic audience that provide hugely constructive feedback. As an added bonus working in a group is really helpful as you see different writing styles and get to meet like minded individuals.

For years I've started short stories and novels, but have given up on most and thrown away the rest. So, when I saw an ad for a creative writing class I was interested; when I saw it was in a local pub I was sold. I learnt a huge amount in just the first five-week term, I had a lot of fun, and best of all, I gained the confidence to enter one of my stories, The Banner Maker, into a Writers' Forum contest. To my immense surprise it won £300 and was published. It sounds cheesy, but it really is true: I couldn't have done it without Chalk the Sun! Alex Blyth, a journalist from Brighton, wrote his short story, The Banner Maker, in response to a Chalk the Sun exercise on theme and sub-plot. He was pleasantly surprised when it won A Writers' Forum prize for Best Short Story in May 2011.

Peciu Nou (Nume anterior (1924-25): Mielcu, , ,) este satul de reședință al comunei cu același nume din județul Timiș, Banat, România.

Localizare
Se situează în sudul județului Timiș, la 22 km sud-vest de municipiul Timișoara, pe drumul județean DJ593 Timișoara - Foeni. Dispune de stație la calea ferată Timișoara - Cruceni.

Peciu Nou se învecinează la nord-vest cu Diniaș, la nord-est cu Parța, la sud cu Cebza, la sud-vest cu Giulvăz și la vest cu Sânmartinu Sârbesc.

Istorie
Prima atestare documentară a localității Peciu Nou datează din 1333, în documentele de dijmă papală, unde apare cu numele Veybech. În secolul XVI a constituit un important punct de rezistență antiotomană.

Atât la conscripția austriacă din 1717 cât și pe harta contelui Mercy din 1723-1725, satul nu mai este menționat. Primii coloniști sunt însă amintiți în 1723 și se știe că după răscoala din 1736-1739, Peciul Nou avea 94 de familii germane. La conscripția din 1743 este consemnată ca localitate locuită de germani, cu numele de Uypez. Într-un timp s-a mai numit și Neu Wien (Noua Viena).

Q: reading list of files in R In R, I am trying to process multiple files using a loop. A file contains paths of many other files that contain data for computation. Can somebody tell me the simple script to do it?
list.txt:
/data/tmp/b.dat
/data/tmp/c.dat
/data/tmp/d.dat

inside b.dat:
1 15.30 20.30 15.0
2 7.3 5.0 2.0
...
n 5.0 2.0 6.0

In the meantime, data is processed for each row. How can the data be transposed?

A: Here's a one-liner:
lapply(scan("list.txt",""), read.table,sep=" ", row.names=1)

A short explanation: scan("list.txt","") scans your file containing the list of locations (space separated)and outputs them as a vector of characters (because of the "") then with lapply you apply to each of those locations the function read.table with the right separator and other needed arguments. The final output is a list of datasets.

Heads up for our New Mexico & Louisiana members. My buddy here in Louisiana was looking at the New Mexico concealed handgun laws and notice that they have listed reciprocity with Louisiana. Then he looked at our La. State Police site that issues our La Concealed Handgun Permits and New Mexico is not on our list.
We do NOT have reciprocity with New Mexico due to a conflict in our laws.
