The Portuguese began to trade with the island of Timor in the early 16th century and colonized it in mid-century. Skirmishing with the Dutch in the region eventually resulted in an 1859 treaty in which Portugal ceded the western portion of the island. Imperial Japan occupied Portuguese Timor from 1942 to 1945, but Portugal resumed colonial authority after the Japanese defeat in World War II. East Timor declared itself independent from Portugal on 28 November 1975 and was invaded and occupied by Indonesian forces nine days later. It was incorporated into Indonesia in July 1976 as the province of Timor Timur (East Timor). An unsuccessful campaign of pacification followed over the next two decades, during which an estimated 100,000 to 250,000 people died. In an August 1999 UN-supervised popular referendum, an overwhelming majority of the people of Timor-Leste voted for independence from Indonesia. However, in the next three weeks, anti-independence Timorese militias - organized and supported by the Indonesian military - commenced a large-scale, scorched-earth campaign of retribution. The militias killed approximately 1,400 Timorese and forced 300,000 people into western Timor as refugees. Most of the country's infrastructure, including homes, irrigation systems, water supply systems, and schools, and nearly all of the country's electrical grid were destroyed. On 20 September 1999, Australian-led peacekeeping troops deployed to the country and brought the violence to an end. On 20 May 2002, Timor-Leste was internationally recognized as an independent state. In 2006, internal tensions threatened the new nation's security when a military strike led to violence and a breakdown of law and order. At Dili's request, an Australian-led International Stabilization Force (ISF) deployed to Timor-Leste, and the UN Security Council established the UN Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT), which included an authorized police presence of over 1,600 personnel. The ISF and UNMIT restored stability, allowing for presidential and parliamentary elections in 2007 in a largely peaceful atmosphere. In February 2008, a rebel group staged an unsuccessful attack against the president and prime minister. The ringleader was killed in the attack, and most of the rebels surrendered in April 2008. Since the attack, the government has enjoyed one of its longest periods of post-independence stability, including successful 2012 elections for both the parliament and president and a successful transition of power in February 2015. In late 2012, the UN Security Council ended its peacekeeping mission in Timor-Leste and both the ISF and UNMIT departed the country. Early parliamentary elections in the spring of 2017 finally produced a majority goovernment after months of impasse. Currently, the government is a coalition of three parties and the president is a member of the opposition party. In 2018, this configuration stymied nominations for key ministerial positions and slowed progress on certain policy issues.

Since independence in 1999, Timor-Leste has faced great challenges in rebuilding its infrastructure, strengthening the civil administration, and generating jobs for young people entering the work force. The development of offshore oil and gas resources has greatly supplemented government revenues. This technology-intensive industry, however, has done little to create jobs in part because there are no production facilities in Timor-Leste. Gas is currently piped to Australia for processing, but Timor-Leste has expressed interest in developing a domestic processing capability. In June 2005, the National Parliament unanimously approved the creation of the Timor-Leste Petroleum Fund to serve as a repository for all petroleum revenues and to preserve the value of Timor-Leste's petroleum wealth for future generations. The Fund held assets of $16 billion, as of mid-2016. Oil accounts for over 90% of government revenues, and the drop in the price of oil in 2014-16 has led to concerns about the long-term sustainability of government spending. Timor-Leste compensated for the decline in price by exporting more oil. The Ministry of Finance maintains that the Petroleum Fund is sufficient to sustain government operations for the foreseeable future. Annual government budget expenditures increased markedly between 2009 and 2012 but dropped significantly through 2016. Historically, the government failed to spend as much as its budget allowed. The government has focused significant resources on basic infrastructure, including electricity and roads, but limited experience in procurement and infrastructure building has hampered these projects. The underlying economic policy challenge the country faces remains how best to use oil-and-gas wealth to lift the non-oil economy onto a higher growth path and to reduce poverty.

As lead trial counsel for plaintiff Personal Audio, Jeremy Pitcock recently obtained a complete jury trial victory for his client against the television network CBS in a patent infringement case involving Internet distribution of content. After only a short deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of patent infringement and upheld the patent's validity against the defendant's claims of anticipation and obviousness. Prior to trial, he had successfully argued to keep the case from being transferred out of the Eastern District of Texas, and received a favorable Markman decision in the case. He worked with Papool Chaudhari who managed all aspects of discovery and trial preparation in the case.

Q: VLAN with trunk to avoid broadcast storm in a network with redundant paths I have 6 Juniper switches (EX - 2200) connected to each other as shown in the network topology.
I have two PC's that I am using
PC1 - (used for configuring the 6 switches via minicom)
PC2 - to monitor the traffic between the switches via the Ports that are marked with arrows in the diagram.
STEP 1:
I create a new vlan On Switch 3 (SW3) that includes Port 12 and Port 22. I also assign l3-interface to the vlan (vlan_2) with ip address - 192.168.1.7.
Now I plug-in Port 0 of Switch 3 on PC2.
Now I try pinging 192.168.1.7 from PC2 (192.168.1.10)
I want to know what will happen? My postulation is that I will not be able to ping SW3 from PC2.This is because SW3 (Port 12 and Port 22) is a part of a vlan_2 and vlan_2 logically breaks up broadcast domains and so 192.168.1.7 will not be reachable from 192.168.1.10.
Now I have an l3-interface on SW1 with IP 192.168.1.1 using default vlan( vlan-id 0).
Similarly I have enabled IP on SW2 - 192.168.1.2
                                SW3 - 192.168.1.3
                                SW4 - 192.168.1.4
                                SW5 - 192.168.1.5
                                SW6 - 192.168.1.6
all using default vlan.
I create VLAN2 with the following configuration
SW3   - Port 12,Port 22.
SW6   - Port 14
I create VLAN3 with the following configuration
SW3   - Port 0
SW6   - Port 0
I also configure a VLAN trunk between SW3 and SW6 using the following commands.
edit interfaces ge-0/0/12
set unit 0 family ethernet-switching port-mode trunk
edit interfaces ge-0/0/12
set unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members all
There is a redundant path in the network as the loop between SW3 and SW6 is closed.There is no broadcast storm in the network? What is the reason for this?
I have not enabled STP or RSTP.still there is no broadcast storm.what is the reason for this.
(Please ignore the CISCO symbol on the switches in the diagram.All swithes are Junper EX 22-00.)

A:
There is a redundant path in the network as the loop between SW3 and SW6 is closed.There is no broadcast storm in the network? What is the reason for this?

The Akt/PKB family of protein kinases: a review of small molecule inhibitors and progress towards target validation.
Barnett SF1, Bilodeau MT, Lindsley CW.
Department of Cancer Research, Merck Research Laboratories, Merck & Co., PO Box 4, West Point, PA 19486 USA.
This article describes recent advances in the development and biological evaluation of small molecule inhibitors for the serine/threonine kinase Akt (PKB). Akt plays a pivotal role in cell survival and proliferation through a number of downstream effectors. Recent studies indicate that unregulated activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway is a prominent feature of many human cancers and Akt is over-expressed or activated in all major cancers. Akt is considered an attractive target for chemotherapy and it has been postulated that inhibition of Akt alone or in combination with standard cancer chemotherapeutics will reduce the apoptotic threshold and preferentially kill cancer cells. The development of specific and potent inhibitors will allow this hypothesis to be tested in animals. The majority of small molecule inhibitors in this nascent field are classic ATP-competitive inhibitors which provide little specificity. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) analogs have been reported to inhibit Akt, but these inhibitors may also have specificity problems with respect to other PH domain containing proteins and may have poor bioavailability. None of the inhibitors in these classes have been reported to have Akt isozyme specificity. Recently, novel allosteric inhibitors have been reported which are pleckstrin homology domain dependent and exhibit Akt isozyme selectivity. Inhibitors in this class may have sufficient potency and specificity to test for tumor efficacy in animal models and recently reported preliminary experiments are reviewed.

Why Do Teachers' Unions Want It to be Legal for Teachers to Have Sex with Their Students?
Welcome to Crazytown.
by Erika Sanzi
Attorney John Fitzgibbons and Debra Lafave speak to the media during a press conference after charges of having sex with a 14-year-old middle school student were dropped in Marion County March 21, 2006 in Tampa, Florida. Prosecutors there said they did not want to put her 14-year-old victim on the witness stand. Lafave is still serving three years house arrest for molesting the boy who was a student of hers. Lafave says she is now pursing a career in journalism. (Tim Boyles/Getty Images)
There's currently a bill in Rhode Island that seeks to make it illegal for school employees to have sex with students. The state teachers' unions and the ACLU have decided to oppose it.
Welcome to Crazy Town, USA.
School sexual abuse is more common than you think. A 2004 Department of Education study by Carol Shakeshaft concluded that "the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests." In 2014, the firm Drive West Communications tracked an average 15 public reports of sexual abuse a week in schools.
And yet the law on this is inconsistent.
Many states with a legal consent age of 16 have language in their laws that prohibits adults in positions of authority from engaging in any sexual relationship with children in their care. The majority of states bump the age of consent to 18 in that situation though Michigan law doesn't allow for teachers and students to have sexual relations at any age and Washington state increases the student age of consent to 21.
Last year Alex Marszalkowski, a representative in the Rhode Island legislature, attempted to pass a bill that would have criminalized sexual relations between all adults with custodial and supervisory responsibilities and those in their care. According to Rep. Marszalkowski, the ACLU objected to this bill saying that the prohibition was too broad.
This year, Marszalkowski introduced a replacement bill designed to narrow the scope. And now the ACLU claims that the new bill is "arbitrary and capricious." After the bill got to the subcommittee stage, the state teachers' union went on record objecting to it, too. Their reason: that it unfairly singles out school employees.
Which is, of course, the point. But like I said: Crazy Town.
It is intellectually dishonest for the ACLU or anyone to say that legislation which focuses on the adults who spend their days with other people's children in the only place to which parents are compelled, by law, to send those children is "arbitrary."
But consistency is not the ACLU's strong suit. The bill also forbids non-employee volunteers from having sex with students. And the ACLU didn't like that aspect of it, either. The ACLU said it had "concern about targeting school volunteers, because a volunteer coach could be close in age to a student and run afoul of the law under this bill."
Which, again, is the point: Parents don't want high school coaches—or their volunteer assistant coaches—having sex with the students.
This shouldn't be hard.
The central issue behind the laws is the power imbalance and the inability of a 16-year-old student to meaningfully consent to sex with an authority figure. (The age of consent drops to 14 in Rhode Island and Massachusetts if the sexual touching by the adult is "non-penetrative.")
The real question is what the teachers' unions think they have to gain by being on the other side of this issue. Because Rhode Island isn't the first time it has happened.
In Massachusetts, two parents discovered that their teenage daughter was in a sexual relationship with her Spanish teacher. Hotel receipts and graphic photos provided proof of the relationship. The teacher was fired after his administrators saw the evidence but he refused to end the relationship with his student. So the parents called the police. Which is when they discovered that the teacher was untouchable by law enforcement because he had not committed a crime under state law. The Massachusetts state police supported subsequent efforts to get the law changed. The teachers' unions opposed it. The bill never saw the light of day.
In the Rhode Island case, union officials claim that that termination and potential loss of a teaching license is a sufficient deterrent and punishment for teachers who engage in sexual relationships with students. And perhaps if personnel records and financial settlements weren't confidential they might be right.
But in the real world, things don't work that way: Sexual predators move from district to district and state to state, preying on new students in new places precisely because there is no way to track them unless they have been arrested for a crime. This movement of teacher predators across district and state lines is so well known that there is a name for it in education circles—it's called "passing the trash."
Terri Miller, president of the Nevada-based advocacy group Stop Educator Sexual Abuse Misconduct and Exploitation calls this cycle "deliberate and calculated child endangerment."
That's not too strong a term. And it's exactly what Rhode Island's teachers' unions are trying to protect.

They'll thrill to unwrap this beautifully boxed trio; our exceptional 2013 Estate Brut, impeccably balanced 2015 Brut Rose, and our par excellence 2012 Le Rêve Blancs de Blancs.
2015 Brut Rosé: Rosé wines are often believed to be made only from Pinot Noir, but the best, including ours, have Chardonnay added for structure. In creating our Rosé we worked to create a wine of great balance while emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics to a greater extent than in our Brut or Le Rêve.
2013 Estate Brut Cuvée: Our Estate Brut is a small cuvée comprised only of grapes grown in our own vineyards. The wine was aged a full three plus years in our cellar. We love this wine now, but know it has exceptional further aging potential.
2012 Le Rêve Blanc de Blancs: Le Rêve is a highly respected tête de cuvée - our winery's finest Sparkling wine and frequently named America's Best Sparkling. French for "the dream," Le Rêve is crafted from 100% estate-grown Chardonnay, making it a pure expression of Domaine Carneros. A classic Le Rêve with lovely notes of white flowers, Meyer lemon, poached pear and a hint of grilled pineapple. The palate opens up to honeysuckle and crème brûlée. The full mouth feel leads to a very round and long finish.

Here's why Yorkshire viewers may need to retune their TVs over the coming weeks

Published: 11:45 Friday 11 October 2019
Yorkshire television viewers may need to retune their television equipment for Freeview services as channels are moving to new airwaves to allow for the future development of new mobile broadband services.
Following a decision by the Government, transmitters are being updated region by region as part of a major engineering programme being carried out between now and 2020.
The required changes will take place on the following dates at transmitters in the areas listed below:
Engineering work at main transmitters will begin shortly after midnight on each day and some Freeview channels will be off-air overnight until 6am.
After this, any viewers receiving their TV signal from these who find they are missing channels can retune.
Services from smaller local relays may be subject to disruption until late afternoon.
Satellite and cable TV are not affected.
The following retuning dates take place across Yorkshire:
Wednesday October 23 - Lincolnshire and east Yorkshire served by the Belmont transmitter; most of Yorkshire served by Emley Moor; Sheffield; and some of the Idle area.
Wednesday November 13 - Some of the Idle area; Central and north east Keighley served by the Keighley Town transmitter group, the Scarborough area service by Oliver's Mount; and parts of west Bradford.
Around 2.5m homes are served by the affected transmitters.
Freeview will be running an information campaign to prepare people for the change, including advertising and on-screen messages.
Further required changes will take place at some transmitters in 2020, following the completion of engineering work in neighbouring areas.
10 of the best things to do in West Yorkshire
Retuning should be straightforward and some TV equipment will retune automatically.
Some older aerials may need to be replaced to continue receiving all channels.
Viewers may be eligible for free in-home support, including aerial work if needed.
Anyone who needs advice, or who finds they are still missing services after retuning, can visit the Freeview website at www.freeview.co.uk/tvchanges or contact the Freeview Advice Line free on 0808 100 0288.


An article published recently in the Journal makes the case that smaller companies should pay attention to certain economic indicators, such as the Producer Price Index (PPI), unemployment rates, and consumer confidence. Yet most smaller companies take what the market will bear, and sell and buy in markets which are impacted by much more narrow factors than the general economic environment. Not to mention that many of these indicators are lagging indicators rather than leading.
Not that looking for signs of what's to come is necessarily without value for your business. What I took from the article is that it is important to know what drives your business. Also, it is important to review the pricing of your products and/or services, as well as that of your vendors.
Still, it is worth your while to know how your company makes money. Which factors drive your earnings? How does operational performance connect with your profitability? Knowing the economics of your business is important in improving your profits and cash flow. What is your gross profit margin percentage? How much can you increase profits through a price increase versus through an improvement in productivity? Perhaps once you know your P&L statement inside and out and maximize the factors that impact that the most will it be worthwhile to consider the indicators that the popular business press bombard us with abandon.

Minnesota muni provisions with ETI
September 8, 2004 By Jeff Baumgartner
The City of Windom, Minn., a municipally-owned electric, water and cable service provider, has selected technology from ETI Software Solutions to provision a slew of new broadband services.
Under the deal, the city will use ETI's CableBridge platform to provision voice, data and video services, including video-on-demand via a fiber-to-the-home network. The city will also leverage the software to bundle the services under one bill.
That interfacing "will allow our residents to receive a converged bill for all services; therefore, our bill preparation and postage costs will be significantly reduced," said Dennis Nelson, Windom's city administrator, in a statement.

One to Go at Sonoma
dalecoynepr	on September 13, 2017
Plainfield, IL (September 13, 2017) – Dale Coyne Racing drivers Sebastien Bourdais and Ed Jones are looking to turn their luck around this weekend and finish the season on a high as they head to Sonoma Raceway for the final round of the 2017 Verizon IndyCar Series season.
Bourdais will be making his seventh appearance at the 2.385-mile, 12-turn road course this weekend. The Frenchman has a best finish of sixth at Sonoma Raceway, scored in 2011 in his first visit to the track aboard a Dale Coyne Racing car. His best start at the track was a third place on the grid for the 2012 round.
The 2017 IndyCar Rookie of the Year Ed Jones will be making his first official on track appearance at the northern California track. However, the driver of the #19 Boys Scouts of America car is no stranger to the Sonoma layout. Both he and Bourdais completed a test there with the team earlier this season.
All drivers will get six hours of testing on Thursday, September 14 during a Verizon IndyCar Series open test before official on-track activities begin Friday, September 15. Teams will have two 45-minute practice sessions on Friday, with Practice 2 being broadcast live on NBCSN from 5pm ET.
Qualifying for the final round of the 2017 season will take place on Saturday, September 16 at 3:30pm local time (6:30pm ET) and will be broadcast live on NBCSN.
The 85-lap GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma will also be broadcast live on NBCSN from 6:30pm ET on Sunday, September 17.
All non-televised sessions will be streamed live on racecontrol.indycar.com.
What they had to say:
Sebastien Bourdais – #18 UNIFIN Honda
"We're hoping for some better luck at Sonoma this weekend. At Watkins we were looking good but ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm definitely looking forward to Sonoma. It's a place where I've regularly been fast at. It's a tough technical place which gets really slick when it gets hot. Not so long ago it was 111 degrees so we can expect some heat over there and hope for a good day. It's going to be our last race so if we could make a little statement and finish strong it would be great. It would be nice to enter the off-season with a nice result to look at."
Ed Jones – #19 Boy Scouts of America Honda
"I've never raced in Sonoma before but I did get to test with the team there earlier this season. It's going to be completely different from our last race at Watkins Glen going from a super high grip track to a track that falls off really quickly. It's going to also be very hot compared to our last race where it was on the cold side, so polar opposites really. We'll see how we get on but when we tested there we had a pretty decent car. I can't wait, hopefully we can finish the season strong."
Sébastien Bourdais en français
« On espère avoir un peu plus de chance à Sonoma ce weekend qu'on a eu à Watkins Glen la semaine dernière. J'ai très hâte à cette course. C'est un endroit où je suis régulièrement rapide. C'est un circuit qui est difficile techniquement et il offre peu d'adhérence quand il fait chaud. Comme il a fait 111 degré Fahrenheit la semaine passée on peut s'attendre à de la chaleur ce weekend. Espérons qu'on aura une bonne journée. C'est notre dernière course de la saison et ce serait très bien de finir avec un bon résultat. »

I finished watching the Discovery Channel's documentary "Biblical Mysteries Explained". It turns out that I'm wrong after all. I thought it'll refute some of the accounts in the Bible (namely the Exodus and Sodom & Gomorrah from Genesis) but it just explained these concepts in a scientific way. Personally, I think it isn't refutable at all. However, there is one thing which I'm quite confused about in regard with the parting of the Red Sea (part of the Exodus). An oceanographer explained that this strange occurrence may have been caused by a very strong wind (I forgot the specific term though), so strong that it can expose an underwater ridge causing you to think that the sea was divided into two. This wind is like traveling in a speed of 100 mph. If it is true, how can people cross that underwater ridge without being hurled by the strong wind? God was their shield? Perhaps yes, perhaps not! I just hope they've included the answer! But anyway, overall, I think the documentary turns out to be very interesting and entertaining at the same time, especially the part of Sodom & Gomorrah where archaeological, climatological, and astronomical evidences go hand in hand almost perfectly, suggesting that the destruction of these Biblical cities might have really happened in the past. So what's next? Evolution occurred after Noah's Ark? HAHA! That will be cool! I wonder how Mr. Dawkins would feel! This documentary will be shown again. My fellow believers should watch it!
the bible states a strong wind blew. but the difference would be if it were the red sea or the reed sea. the read sea is shallow, a strong wind blowing all night could have exposed dry land, how ever I have my own theory, If the exodus is off by around four hundred years, then it could have been a tsunami caused by very large volcanic explosion in the mediterranean sea. And then all the pleags could also be explained.
the parting of the red sea happend before the romans came to judea or egpyt or any parts of that ancient world.
amoyube1980 since there is no archeological evidence to support the story of Exodus the whole discussion of if , when or how the Red Sea parted seems a bit silly. Why spemd time speculating on an event that probably never happened?
If it was the reed sea...how did the army of pharoah drown in it? As for it being a wind...lol...in my Bible - God created the wind - He certainly can cause it to blow when and where it suits Him. As for there being no archeological evidence to support this...there was none to support the existance of the Hittites either until some was found...many Bible detractors laughed at those who claimed there really was a people called Hittites...are they laughing now? Same for the city of Ur And Hezekiah's tunnel...now we can walk through it...remember...just because YOU don't know about it or think it is true...doesn't mean it isn't. It just means YOU are lacking in knowledge. We used to think the universe was eternal...static & unchanging....now we know it had a beginning..just like Genesis says. Your pride and arrogancy shows in what you say here and yet you say it is believers who are arrogant...lol! Do some real research before you begin to call others ignorant.
I have also watched the documentary last night and I have the same question too on the red sea thing. In my assessment though there are two things that these people are implying either they will prove that the Bible accounts were true by proving it in archeological and scientific claims or it discredits it and prove it to be wrong. I find things very hilarious like the one you've mentioned with the red sea part especially so does Moses have to wait for the right time and raise his rod when he knew that the sea would break into two ? Very bad presentation, hope they can find another option if they mean to discredit the Biblical accounts.
Such documentaries are, of course, intent on finding plausible explanations for things and, since that is their brief, they will, of course, find them (which is not to say that their explanations are not truthful and entirely plausible, of course). I didn't see the documentary but I have seen many like it and they are highly interesting and entertaining. If you are of the school that believes that every word in the Bible is precisely and literally true, then I think there is no more to be said: such people are always able to counter with their fixed and unwavering belief in the ability of God to do the impossible (and in the ability of an unlettered and uneducated tribe of wandering herdsmen to faithfully preserve a collection of orally transmitted traditions for several thousand years until the advent of writing). Personally, I prefer to see the Bible as an inspirational (rather than as an unequivocally inspired) book. You cannot expect much of it to be even as literally true as a modern news report (and we all know how they can be distorted). Everyone would agree that it was never written as a whole book as we conveniently have it today. It is a very miscellaneous collection of writings which was seriously edited by the early Church, in any case, from what was available to them at the time. There were many books which were considered 'apocryphal' for one reason or another and those that were included were often translated from an original language which was, to say the least, often obscure to the Jews themselves. That is not to say, of course, that it is 'rubbish' - it is most certainly not - but that each part of it should be understood and judged on its merits rather than assigning a 'blanket' merit of authority by saying that it is the 'word of God' and therefore not a single word in it can be a 'word of Man' (or a human interpretation of what God meant). All intelligent Christians (and Jews) will tell you that the Bible can only be properly understood if it is read with 'the Spirit' and that is precisely what I am advocating above! What the documentaries like the one you saw always seek to do (and rightly so) is to show that there can be logical and 'natural' explanations for many things which, in the Bible, are attributed to God. I see nothing blasphemous in that - did not God create and ordain the natural laws that govern physical forces? The message that I would wish people to derive from such programs, however, is one that is not explicitly given. It is that it is potentially blasphemous (and certainly unjust to true faith) to attribute natural happenings to the miraculous intervention or 'wrath' of God, depending on the event. There are still people, unfortunately, who attribute their misfortunes - even such minor accidents as, for example, an accidental injury - to the 'judgement of God' and, even more avidly, put down their successes (winning the lottery or winning a war, for heaven's sake!) as the result of prayer or divine beneficence. Such people have the minds of children and it would be wrong to condemn them out of hand. I do not believe that God does so, since I know that he loves children, and especially His children. Nevertheless, such people are misdirected and do need to 'grow up'. My prayer is that they should do so.
Brilliantly expressed! Reflects many of my own views in relation to the bible and religion in general.
I heard that Darwin consider the absurdity behind the evolving of our eyes. He said something like, "if our eyes, so complex, came about in a random chance or evolving, that would be absurd." I'm not sure if I got that exactly as it was said. But the message is something like that.
Good info. islander but can you tell me why it's closely aligned? I've seen one documentary (I think it's from Discovery Channel or National Geographic) that the DNA of apes, gorillas, orangutan are all the same in percentage, but surprisingly, human DNA doesn't fit in. Is that part of natural selection?
No matter how science explains things and gives us answers, people will continue to believe the way they want and NOTHING can make them believe any other way! I have a very religious friend who says there never was any dinosors, (can't spell it right), any way, she says scientists just made all that up and all the bones are fake! How can people be so strong in their religious beliefs that they will not believe any other way? Don't they ever want to learn? Why are they so closed minded? I'm beginning to think they are scared to know some truths! (BRAIN WASHING IS A POWERFUL TOOL)!
The human brain is a computer and different computers use different operating systems based on the programmers that are allowed access. These programmers are other people that you interact with as well as the thoughts that you accept into your own computer (brain). The programming language for the human brain are words strung together to create thoughts. The priests of the past and present knew/know how to control the minds of those who are susceptible to suggestion, especially if guilt is used as a weapon to prevent those people from questioning their faith: a believer doesn't want to be perceived as an enemy of their "god", so there is pressure for them to conform and to suppress their natural human inquisitive nature. Many churches now have pastors who study advanced human psychology in an effort to be more persuasive and to exercise more power over their congregation.
If a living being programmed computers, who programmed the human brain? Is that part of natural selection?
I'm talking about life in general.
I'm referring to Richard Dawkins. He's a famous atheist. Author of the book The God Delusion and a big fan of Charles Darwin.
That's interesting Adoniah but please state your source to make it much more interesting.
Funny! Moses could have been the Nostrodamus that time LOL. Great timing Moses!
Mm.. interesting. I'll have to try finding the documentary. I wouldn't put my hopes up for evolution occurring after Noah's Ark though. Putting aside the fact that the story of Noah's Ark is fiction, that'd be impossible.
Then what is that picture of up on Mt. Ararat that the communists wouldn't let the world see? Now they're not hiding it any longer...and several reputable expeditions have seen a part of it sticking outside the ice. Not to mention the natives of the area who say it is what it is. Like I said earlier...if you don't want to see it or believe it, you won't. Then you might have to change your life around and act like you are accountable to something greater than yourself, huh?
I think this would be a really interesting documentary to watch. Although I definitely do not believe in the big bang, I am unsure about how evolution would fit in with Biblical history.
Well for my all biblical miracles can be explained fully by science, there is no refuting that fact. But the sense that almost always there is a coincidence is one thing to wonder on. How come if one scientist explained that a wind cost it to divide, then how come it is in the right time and in the right place? also in the three kings being directed where jesus is by a star can be also proven by science. but the coincidence of the exact time and date is to wonder on. Well unless scientist can disprove intelligent design then im still a believer. and also if something can be made without nothing then all mathematical equations, physics and such should be denied to sign "=" for one can create something without using anything.
I was always been fascinated by science. How scientist explained the impossible things that happen in the past civilization. They always had explanation to everything. But how can they explain the very complex nature of how space and planets stay the same. As if there's a divine power that hold everything in order.
yeah, discovery is really an eye-opening programme. and thanks to the work of those scientists that we get to know the surroundings better.
Actually, many times when scientists set out to refute the Bible, what they do instead is find evidence that backs it up. Interesting.
Actually... religion is just an organization... What you believe, and what they make you believe are two different things it's up to you if you on how to respond to it..
Well, I too am interested in seeing this documentary . It seems to be quite interesting .
Cool stuff - I want to see this documentary. I will search for it until I find it. Sounds interesting!
Bible stories are called PARABLES for a reason. they were often STORIES to teach a lesson. Much like folklore - they were verbally handed down. They are not scientific accounts of things that actually happened. Samson and Delilah? A man who loses his strength because she cut his hair? Come on people. Why does everyone feel the need to take the Old Testament as absolute truth. They are STORIES. Not all stories are fact.

Decades of peer reviewed literature show that alcohol impairs driving. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 30 people in the United States die in drunk driving related crashes every day. As a result, there are many concrete federal and state laws that prohibit driving under the influence of alcohol.
What's more, if you're found to have more than the legal limit of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the intoxicating cannabinoid in cannabis, in your bloodstream after a traffic accident you could also be charged with DUI. But what about driving with cannabidiol (CBD) in your bloodstream? This legal, non-intoxicating constituent of cannabis is trendier than ever due to its potential to ease pain and anxiety and other issues.
What the New Study Found
For the landmark study, researchers from the Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics at the University of Sydney worked with 26 healthy adults in a cross over clinical trial. Participants were split into groups and asked to vaporize one of three cannabis types: CBD dominant cannabis, THC dominant cannabis, and THC/CBD equivalent (1:1) cannabis. All doses were 13.75 mg. About an hour later, each participant underwent a standardized road driving test during a 100 kilometer drive under controlled conditions.
Based on the standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP), which measures the degree to which a driver weaves in and out of lanes, overcorrects and/or swerves, they found that the driving of those participants who'd used the 1:1 strain, and in particular those who'd used the THC dominant strain, had the highest SDLP during their driving test. Meanwhile, those drivers who'd vaporized a CBD dominant strain scored the lowest.
"These findings indicate for the first time that CBD, when given without THC, does not affect a subject's ability to drive. That's great news for those using or considering treatment using CBD based products," lead author Dr. Thomas Arkell said in an interview with the University of Sydney.
All that being said, the study is also quick to acknowledge that dosages and results may vary from person to person and that more research must be done to be certain about this issue. Still, researchers say the results are promising when it comes to easing worries experienced by people using CBD therapeutically, like the 64% that reported they used CBD for pain and inflammation in a 2020 survey.
"The results should reassure people using CBD only products that they are most likely safe to drive, while helping patients using THC dominant products to understand the duration of impairment," said Arkell.
What the Law Says
But even as this new research points to THC as the major culprit in cannabis related car accidents and DUIs, and clears CBD as "likely safe" for driving, you could still run into legal issues if you get behind the wheel after consuming CBD.
After all, every state has different laws governing cannabis, and the legal risk of taking CBD and driving depends heavily on the regulations in the state you live in and the type of CBD product you use.
For instance, Illinois, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington enforce a "per se" legal limit for THC ranging between 1 nanogram and 5 nanograms, reports the NCSL. In a similar manner to a legal blood alcohol concentration, if a driver is shown to surpass the "per se" limit in the state where they are pulled over, this constitutes grounds to prove impairment.
Meanwhile, states like Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, and Wisconsin, take an even stricter position by imposing a zero tolerance standard for certain drugs, including THC. This means that if any THC is found in your bloodstream after an driving incident, you could be charged with driving under the influence. (This is a particularly scary law, too, when you consider that THC can linger in the body for as many as 30 days after initial consumption.)
These laws, though focused on THC, may cause you to be charged with a DUI offense even if you take your favorite CBD tincture from behind the wheel. This is because some of the most popular and potentially effective CBD products are full spectrum products that include the trace amounts of THC. This small amount of the THC, in combination with CBD, creates a synergy called the entourage effect which may optimize the healing potential of a CBD product. At the same time, these trace levels of THC may cause you to fail a cannabis breathalyzer or blood test.
What's more, while there are two other types of CBD that may be seemingly safe to drive with; isolate, which is 100% pure CBD, and broad spectrum, which has been processed to remove THC content, labeling integrity and oversight is a major issue in the industry you could end up paying for these issues .
"For drivers, this means if you thought you were taking CBD without THC, and an accident happens and THC is found in your system, you could be arrested for DUI," states one article on the website of Steinlaw Injury Lawyers.
So, while new research has revealed that CBD is less likely to impair driving than THC or alcohol, there is still legal risk associated with driving under the influence of your favorite CBD product. State laws against driving under the influence of cannabis are largely unforgiving and full spectrum or misleadingly labeled CBD products may cause you to fail a cannabis blood or breathalyzer test. Hence, using CBD while driving poses many legal risks that may not be worth taking, even if CBD is integral to easing your pain, anxiety and other diagnosed health issues.

Last night I was fortunate to eat at the restaurant of the Publishers Hotel. What a fabulous diverse menu! I have eaten in restaurants around the world and could not fault the food and service. The Pork Belly was a stand out as was my partners 2 entrees, Quail and Steak tartare. I even rated the 16hour Pork Belly better than that of Matt Morans ARIA restaurant. The ambience was subtle and lovely, the service was professional and friendly. Congratulations to the head chef Daniel whose creative talents meant we enjoyed intense balanced flavours. The Publishers Hotel is a must for all foodies and comes highly recommended.
My favourite place in Adelaide. Great food, great wine list, outstanding staff and a really great atmosphere. Whether you want just a few casual drinks or a gourmet dinner, this place has it all.

I'm looking for a dataset of satellite image data of the USA that would allow me to enter a lat/lng center and get the satellite image of the area around the center.
I can currently use the Google Static Maps API but their licensing does not allow me to create products off their images which is a requirement. I am looking for open source satellite images that I can use to create new features for a dataset without any licensing restrictions.
A major source for openly available Satellite Imagery is the USGS EarthExplorer Platform. This contains a huge swath of remotely-sensed data at the global scale going back to the 1980s and is updated in near-real-time.
An API for this available but it seems the URL to it is broken/forbidden. Here is link to a GitHub project (yannforget/satxplore) created to provide a Python wrapper for it. I haven't tried it myself but it looks promising.

Then close your eyes and feel your hand.
You do not imagine the pain.
This misnomer you must disprove.
Now try using your other side.
The pain returns, who is to blame?
When something that once was has gone?
A phantom limb mirror (Photo Credit: Golan Levin).
This is a pantoum, based on recent research that has identified the cause of phantom limb pain. Phantom limb pain refers to ongoing painful sensations that seem to be coming from a part of the limb that is no longer there, and it is believed that between 50% and 80% of people who have had an amputation suffer from this form of chronic pain.
Until recently it has not been entirely clear what the cause of this pain is, but researchers have now identified the cause as being a 'reorganisation' of the wiring of the brain following the loss of the limb. By using a Brain-Machine Interface (BMI), the researchers were able to train people experiencing phantom limb pain in a missing hand. The participants of the study were able to control a robotic hand using their brain, and the researchers found that when they used the part of their brain that was usually associated with the missing hand then they experienced an increase in pain, but that if they used the other side of their brain (i.e. the part of the brain that was associated with movement in their remaining hand) then the pain subsided. For example, with people that were missing a left hand, if they used the part of their brain associated with movement of their left hand to move the robotic hand then their pain increased, whereas if they used the part of their brain associated with movement of their right (remaining) hand then the chronic limb pain was found to decrease.
This study indicates that robotics and artificial intelligence may provide a solution to phantom limb pain, with engineering being used rather than drugs. However, whilst the results are promising, the researchers note that the effects are temporary, and that they require a large, expensive piece of medical equipment to be effective. They are hopeful that a treatment based on the techniques used in this study could be available within five to ten years.
I don't have phantom pain. But chronic pain. I imagine it to be similar in the sense I have no injury… the brain is just sending a signal to feel something on repeat. I enjoyed that piece. Great poem.
Thank you Nikki, I think that is a really apt description. I hope that you manage to find some help to ease your own pain.

Destiny USA to get restaurant aimed at those with food allergies, intolerances
By Charles McChesney
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A restaurant that offers "globally influenced and seasonally-inspired dishes" while catering to those with food allergies and intolerances is slated to open in Syracuse late this year.
In a release, Destiny USA said 110 Grill has grown from a single restaurant in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, to 14 current locations with eight more on the drawing board, including one eatery at the Syracuse mall and entertainment complex.
The restaurant is set to go into the former Pizzeria UNO location.
"Following the vision of Director of Culinary Elliot Williams, 110 Grill showcases his globally influenced and seasonally-inspired dishes that cater to those with food allergies and intolerances, which includes offering a gluten-free version of the entire core lunch and dinner menu," the release said.
"We've been growing rapidly in New England and have been interested in bringing our concept to the Syracuse area for quite some time," said Ryan Dion, 110 Grill's COO. "We are thrilled to partner with Destiny USA and look forward to becoming a part of the Syracuse community."

James Edward Hubert Gascoyne-Cecil, 4th Marquess of Salisbury, KG, GCVO, CB, PC (23 October 1861 – 4 April 1947), known as Viscount Cranborne from 1868 to 1903, was a British statesman.
Background and education
Born in London, Salisbury was the eldest son of Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury, who served as British Prime Minister, by his wife Georgina (née Alderson). The Right Reverend Lord William Cecil, Lord Cecil of Chelwood and Lord Quickswood were his younger brothers and Prime Minister Arthur Balfour his first cousin. He was educated at Eton and University College, Oxford, graduating BA in 1885.
He started public life early, being a very young age when he accompanied his father to the 1876-1877 Constantinople Conference and a year later to the Congress of Berlin.
Lord Cranborne sat as Conservative Member of Parliament for Darwen then called North-East Lancashire from 1885 to 1892. He lost his seat at the General Election. In a by-election in 1893, he was elected for Rochester where he was the MP until 1903, when he succeeded his father and was elevated to the House of Lords.
Lord Cranborne was colonel of the 4th (Militia) battalion Bedfordshire Regiment (formerly the Hertfordshire Militia), and was in command when the battalion served in South Africa February to November 1900, during the Second Boer War. He received the Queen's South Africa Medal and was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) for his service during the war. In July 1902 he received the Honorary Freedom of the borough of Hertford in recognition of his service during the war. He was also a colonel of the Hertfordshire Volunteer Regiment and of the 4th battalion Essex Regiment. Lord Salisbury was ADC to Edward VII, and George V until 1929.
He served under his father and then his cousin Arthur Balfour as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs from 1900 to 1903, under Balfour as Lord Privy Seal from 1903 to 1905, and as Lord President of the Board of Trade in 1905. In 1903 he was sworn of the Privy Council. In December 1908, he was appointed a deputy lieutenant of Hertfordshire. And from 1906, followed his uncle, as Chairman of the Canterbury House of Laymen.
Salisbury played a leading role in opposing David Lloyd George's People's Budget and the Parliament Bill of 1911. In 1917 he was made a Knight of the Garter. He returned to the government in the 1920s and served under Andrew Bonar Law and Stanley Baldwin as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from 1922 to 1923, as Lord President of the Council from 1922 to 1924, as Lord Privy Seal from 1924 to 1929 and as Leader of the House of Lords from 1925 to 1929 in successive Conservative governments of Bonar Law and Baldwin. He resigned as leader of the Conservative peers in June 1931 and became one of the most prominent opponents of Indian Home Rule in the Lords, supporting the campaign against the legislation waged in the House of Commons by Winston Churchill.
Lord Salisbury was a committed and eager member of the Territorial Army. Honorary Colonel of 86th East Anglians, and the Hertfordshire Yeomanry Brigade. He was also Honorary Colonel of Royal Field Artillery in the Territorial Detachment and the 48th South Midland Division Royal Engineers (TA).
Salisbury was part of two parliamentary deputations which called on the Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Neville Chamberlain, in the autumn of 1936 to remonstrate with them about the slow pace of British rearmament in the face of the growing threat from Nazi Germany. The delegation was led by Sir Austen Chamberlain, a former Foreign Secretary and its most prominent speakers included Winston Churchill, Leo Amery and Roger Keyes. The Marquess of Salisbury was Lord High Steward at the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937.

Goodbyes are never easy, which is what's bound to make the New Girl Season 4 finale "Clean Break" a very bittersweet episode to endure. Not only will Coach be exiting as one of the central loftmates, but we'll also be forced to go without a new episode of the series for an entire summer. Because that's right, folks — New Girl won't return for Season 5 until next fall. In my opinion, that is way too long to go without seeing this lovable gang back in action. But regardless of whether we like it or not, this summer hiatus is an inescapable fact.
Of course, no official Season 5 premiere date has been announced quite yet. It's a little early for the networks to start putting the fall schedule together. But given that all four seasons of New Girl have started in mid-to-late September, I'd say it's fair to assume that this FOX sitcom will be back on either Sept. 15 or Sept. 22. However, that's not to say that production for the upcoming season isn't already underway. Normally, cast members are given the early part of the summer off before they resume filming. But in light of Zooey Deschanel's pregnancy (which will not be incorporated into the plot), production on Season 5 is moving full steam ahead. That way the show won't fall behind during the Deschanel's maternity leave.
Granted, that doesn't exactly help us, the fans, since the series should still be premiering in the fall line-up as per usual, which leaves us with several New Girl-less months between then and now. So as a way to help pass the time, here are a few fun ways to help keep the show apart of your everyday lives.
The sun might be shining, but don't let the allure of fresh air stop you from meeting your daily New Girl quota. Priorities, people! It's what Nick would want, after all.
Just remember: the floor is molten lava, there are four zones, and it starts with a shotgun tip-off. Got it? Good. One, Two, Three, Four, JFK!
Please note: this should only be used to get out of extremely awkward social situations.
Perfect for the annoying roommate or sibling.
The gang would be so proud. You'll be dancing your way into September in no time.
