Suspension of Disbelief: Exploring Hawkins' Scale of Consciousness
Suspension of Disbelief:
Exploring Hawkins' Scale of Consciousness
Miriam van der Valk, philosophical coach at Filoprax speaks with Jay Manya, coordinator at InterGifted, artist and musician.

Jingle by Gregory Hovnanian Weber
Hawkins developed his Map of the Scale of Consciousness in Power vs. Force (1995). Since then, it has been widely used and adapted – a Google images search gives a number of different versions to examine. Seventeen levels of consciousness and corresponding numbers, ranging from 20 to 1,000. Joy is higher than Love, and 200 is the number in the middle. Interesting, huh? What could all this mean?
This conversation is a philosophical exploration of a system of thought. It's an hour's worth of dialogue doodling… And that's all. We suspended our disbelief on the hallway coat hooks and invited Hawkins' Map of the Scale of Consciousness for a chat in the bulging window-sill (virtually). We wanted to listen politely and patiently, giving the benefit of the doubt, aiming for clarity of vision and steering clear of distortions.
Spiritual bypassing disclaimer: Sometimes, one might come across spiritual ideas that enable abuse and shame the victim. Suspension of disbelief is something quite different, and we'd like to make that explicit here. Lovingly, we hope to inspire and engage. Happy listening, dear listener. 🙂

Six people, including a suspected gunman, and a child, have died in a shooting in Plymouth.
Police remain on the scene in the city on Friday, the morning after a tragic fatal shooting where six people were killed and a critical incident declared.
The incident, which took place in the Keyham area, saw emergency services from across the city and beyond rush to the scene after people reported hearing 'loud bangs' and 'gun shots'.
READ MORE- Updates after Plymouth shooting leaves six dead and a city in shock
Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed that three females, two males and the suspect had died in the Keyham area of the city on Thursday evening – one of them is a child under the age of ten.
The area remains cordoned off with significant police resources remaining in the area, but police have confirmed that the incident is not terror-related.
The death toll means it is the worst mass shooting in the UK for more than a decade.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Police were called to a serious firearms incident in Biddick Drive, in the Keyham area of Plymouth at around 6.10pm today [Thursday 12 August].
"Officers and ambulance staff attended the scene and following attendance at the scene, two females and two males were deceased at the scene. A further male, believed to be the offender, was also deceased at the scene. All are believed to have died from gunshot wounds. Another female treated at the scene for gunshot wounds, died a short time later in hospital.
"All of the next of kin of the deceased have been located and informed by Devon & Cornwall Police officers.
"Devon & Cornwall Police would stress this is not a terrorism related incident. The area has been cordoned off and police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
"Investigations are continuing into the incident and disruption to the road network in the Keyham will remain throughout the night.
"Police continue to ask any members of the public with mobile phone footage of the immediate aftermath of the incident not to post this on social media platforms and to respect those families who have lost loved ones this evening."
Plymouth Shootings
Plymouth pays tribute
Child among six dead
MP devastated
Plymouth's MPs have said that it was a dark day for the city, and that it will take time to come to terms with what has happened, and that people will need supporting.
Johnny Mercer, MP for Plymouth Moor View, said that it was one of the 'darkest days' for Plymouth for many years.
Speaking on Sky News, the Conservative MP said: "We have suffered an appalling incident of violence. Clearly there is a lot of work to do to support communities who watched and saw some horrific incidents yesterday. There are families at the centre of all of this, and we will do everything that we can to pull together as a city to support those who need it and deal with what is one of the darkest days for many, many years.
"It is a devastating incident and appalling act of violence and it will have far reaching effects through the community which is very tight knit down there in Keyham. We are opening up a school and a church for people to come together and victim support have moved in.
"Clearly we are thinking of the families and the emergency services who have dealt with a horrific situation that we don't expect to happen in Plymouth. "We have to pull together know and reassure the local community and try and understand why it has happened
"Plymouth people are extraordinary. It would appear to be contained in a group of people but none the less the tragedy is far reaching and the details are heart-breaking for many individuals across the city and we will do all we can to support the people."

Luke Pollard, the Labour MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, added that the incident was 'unspeakably awful'.
"As a community we need today to come together to make sense of the events yesterday and we've got community centres and churches, schools opening across the Keyham area to give people a space for people to be able to share their experience and how they are feeling about the grim events that we saw yesterday.
"But we are bracing ourselves for more grim news today when potentially the names of the victims and more details come out from the police."
He added: "There were lots of people who were literally in their homes, on the streets, opening their doors to the commotion to see people on the pavement having been shot at outside their homes and so there's an awful lot of people for whom access to the emergency support which is absolutely necessary to make sense of this and then to make sure what they saw is shared with the police and that needs to happen as soon as possible today."
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly has said her 'thoughts are with the people of Plymouth' after a tragic shooting in the city.
Commissioner Alison Hernandez said: "My thoughts are with the relatives of the deceased, those injured and the people of Plymouth after this horrendous and tragic incident.
"I would like to pay tribute to the hard work of our blue light services this evening who have done all they can to deal with those directly affected and get the injured the best possible medical care.
"Anyone affected by what has occurred this evening can make contact with the Victim Support services commissioned by my office. Those services are available 24 hours a day on freephone 08 08 16 89 111 or via live WebChat on victimcaredevonandcornwall.org.uk."

Every 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' Singer: Where Are They Now?
Corey Irwin
Corey Irwin Published: December 5, 2022
An all-star ensemble dubbed Band Aid released the instant holiday classic "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in December 1984.
The recording session took place just a week prior to the charity single's release, and was organized by Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof and Ultravox's Midge Ure. They co-wrote the track and were also among the 37 artists who performed.
Others contributors included Bono and Adam Clayton of U2, Sting, Phil Collins, Duran Duran, George Michael and Boy George. Impressively, the celebrity clout continued on the single's B side, as Paul McCartney and David Bowie each recorded spoken-word messages for the project.
"Do They Know It's Christmas?" became fastest-selling single in U.K. chart history, before eventually being overtaken by Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997." Millions of copies were sold worldwide, with an estimated $24 million raised to fight famine in Ethiopia. It's often dismissed by critics, and decried for starting the celebrity charity-single trend, but the song remains a staple.
"As a record, it's exceptional; as a moment in time, it's phenomenal for what it was," Ure admitted to Yahoo in 2019, "but as a song, meh. It's no 'White Christmas.' I still think of it as an OK song that became something much better than it actually was."
For some participants, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" was just another highlight in their long and impressive career. For others, it was the last moment in the musical spotlight before things came crashing down. Below, we look at all 37 featured performers, with updates on what happened next.

Thought leadership from our experts
Reconsidering the figure of FICAP as a vehicle for private equity investments in Mexico
04/08/2016 Manuel E Tron, SMPS Legal, Mexico Federico Scheffler, Galicia Abogados, Mexico
In view of the current macroeconomic conditions worldwide (specifically the uncertainty in certain economic regions such as Europe and Asia) it is possible to imagine that international investors might turn their interest to a country like Mexico, as one of the most stable developing countries in the present time.
It has been said for many years now that the Mexican private equity industry has a lot of potential and the Mexican government has made some efforts for more than ten years to implement legal mechanisms with the goal of incentivizing this industry and bringing more foreign direct investment to the country.
Unfortunately, (and for reasons that these authors do not know) this has not necessarily been the case, for although there has been an increase of private equity investments in Mexico, it has not grown as planned or at least not according to its potential or in comparison to other countries.
Since the year 2006, a tax incentive for private equity investments in Mexico was included in the Mexican Income Tax Law ("MITL"). By means of said tax incentive, the figure of "FICAP" or "Fideicomiso de Inversión en Capital de Riesgo" was created.
The FICAP is a Mexican trust or "fideicomiso" which was created with the intention of providing its members or beneficiaries a tax transparent or "pass through" treatment, which is indispensable for the correct implementation of a private equity fund.
However, this interesting figure contained certain additional and very industry specific requirements, which made it difficult to be used by any type of fund. A clear example of this was the former requirement that in order to be eligible as a FICAP the latter should have a maximum duration of 10 years.
There is no doubt that a private equity fund must have a finite life, and that after said term it is in its best interest to disinvest, but not all funds operate in the same way and consequently the FICAP did not have the versatility that the funds needed for their structuring. A clear prove of that is that currently, more than 80% of the private equity funds that invest in Mexico are structured by means of a foreign Limited Partnership and not a FICAP.
But finally, as of 2016, certain provisions regulating the FICAP were modified, and hence this vehicle has been made more flexible and therefore more attractive for a bigger number of private equity funds and investors. We believe this should come to the attention of investors and tax advisors worldwide.
Therefore, it is the intention of this article to set forth the current tax treatment for foreign tax residents investing by means of a FICAP, in order for the reader to be able to analyze and compare the benefits of this vehicle against any other vehicle or structure for making private equity investments in Mexico.1
Requirements to qualify as a FICAP for Mexican tax purposes
In order for a "fideicomiso" to be deemed as a FICAP, the following requirements shall be met:
1 That the FICAP is created in accordance with Mexican law and the trustee is a credit institution or brokerage firm residing in Mexico.
2 The primary objective of the FICAP shall be to invest in the equity of Mexican resident legal entities not listed on the Stock Exchange at the time of the investment ("Promoted Companies") and to promote their development by taking part in their boards of directors, as well as to grant financing to Promoted Companies.2
3 That at least 80% of the assets of the FICAP are invested in the shares comprising the investment in the capital or in the finance granted to Promoted Companies and the remaining portion is invested in Federal governmental securities entered in the National Securities Registry or in shares of investment funds in debt instruments.
4 The shares of the Promoted Companies that are acquired shall not be sold before at least two years have elapsed as of the date of their acquisition.
5 That at least 80% of the income earned by the FICAP in the year is distributed not later than two months after the end of the year.
If these requirements are not met, the FICAP will be considered as a business trust or "fideicomiso empresarial" for purposes of the MITL, and among other tax consequences, it shall stop being deemed as tax transparent.
Tax treatment of the FICAP
The FICAP will be transparent for Mexican tax purposes, and therefore the final beneficiaries of the FICAP (the investors) shall be the ones subject to the MITL with respect to the income obtained indirectly through the FICAP. Therefore, the tax consequences for each investor will depend on whether the final beneficiary of the FICAP is a Mexican tax resident individual or company, or a foreign resident.
The investors shall be deemed as the ones obtaining income from either dividends, interest or capital gains. In the case of foreign tax resident investors, they will be deemed as having Mexican sourced income for purposes of Title V of the MITL or the applicable Tax Treaty.
For such purposes, the trustee of the FICAP shall keep accounts for each type of income that it receives (the dividends it receives; the interest that it receives for the securities and the gains obtained from the disposition thereof; the interest that it receives for the financing granted to the Promoted Companies; and the gains obtained for the sale of shares). The balance of each of said accounts shall be increased by the corresponding income received by the trustee and shall be reduced by the income that trustee delivers to the FICAP beneficiaries from said account.
The trustee shall also keep an account for each of the investors who participate as beneficiaries in the FICAP and record the contributions made by each one of them individually to the FICAP.
In case the investors are foreign tax residents, the trustee shall withhold the corresponding tax according to the type of income delivered to them in accordance with Title V of the MITL or, if applicable, in accordance with the Tax Treaty entered into between Mexico and the countries in which the investor is resident. In this sense, a FICAP structure would allow the investors to preserve their respective tax treaty benefits, such as reduced rates on dividends and interests, the right to take a credit on taxes paid abroad, as well as benefits available to tax exempt entities, such as pension funds.
For purposes of the abovementioned, the trustee shall provide a certificate of income delivered and, as applicable, of the tax withheld, and/or the reimbursement of contributions to the investors who receive said income or reimbursements as beneficiaries of the FICAP.
It is important to mention that the trustee will be able to deduct from the income received by the FICAP, all expenses that are effectively paid during the tax year, and as long as they are strictly indispensable for the purpose of the FICAP. In this sense, the FICAP may deduct, among other expenses, any Management Fees paid to the managers, preventing tax leakages within the structure (in a foreign Limited Partnership, those fees could be deemed as non-deductible items for the Mexican resident investors).
On the other hand, in order to structure the Carried Interest rights in favor of the manager of the fund, said manager may act as a beneficiary of the FICAP.
The FICAP is a vehicle that provides investors with a simple and tax efficient alternative for structuring a private equity fund for investments in Promoted Companies located in Mexico.
This vehicle works in a very efficient matter regardless of the investors´ tax residency, and depending on the specific needs, it could be an interesting option for the incorporation of future funds, instead of having to incorporate a complicated structure with additional foreign feeders, that could also imply certain foreign tax reporting obligations for some investors.
Notwithstanding the abovementioned, we believe there is still room for improvement in the regulation of this type of vehicle, since there are no specific rules for subjects like (for example) the allocation of expenses against the different types of income, as well as the credit of the income tax for dividends distributed by the Promoted Companies.
Please note that we are not implying that the FICAP is better for the implementation of any type of private equity investment in Mexico, but only that it should be analyzed on a case by case basis.
In addition to the abovementioned primary objective, and subject to the compliance or certain requirements, the FICAP ´s objective may include the provision of independent services in favor of the Promoted Companies.

The Life and Death of Dr. Joseph Warren, the American Revolution's Lost Hero
Imprint: Crown
On sale: August 14, 2018
Contact: Ellen Folan
efolan@prh.com
Praise for FOUNDING MARTYR
"[A] revealing and insightful biography… Di Spigna incorporates diligent research, enhanced by analysis of primary sources only he has tracked down (such as medical records Warren maintained for his practice), into a gripping narrative that doesn't shy away from the darkness in his subject, including Warren's family's ownership of slaves. This book will give readers a fuller picture of American leadership before the active engagement of those now called the founding fathers."
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred)
"A fresh biography of an underappreciated figure in American history… [Di Spigna] reminds readers that Warren was more than a man who sacrificed his life for the cause of liberty… [he] persuasively argues that Warren was 'a rare combination of statesman and warrior' and that 'his effective arsenal of voice, pen, and sword was unrivaled by any other patriot'… Hopefully, Di Spigna's insightful biography will rekindle public interest in Warren, a man who deserves to be remembered."
"Joseph Warren has finally found the biographer who restores him to his place among the architects of American independence. Well-written and thoroughly researched, Founding Martyr not only illuminates Warren's role, but sheds new light on how resistance to British policies was organized at the grass roots. It is an important contribution to our understanding of the coming of the American Revolution."
—ERIC FONER, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Fiery Trial
"Without Joseph Warren, who combined the passionate eloquence of Thomas Jefferson with the leadership abilities of George Washington, the American Revolution might have never even gotten started. Christian Di Spigna has written a laudable and carefully researched biography of the Founding Father history forgot."
—NATHANIEL PHILBRICK, author of Valiant Ambition and Bunker Hill
For more than two centuries, the story of Dr. Joseph Warren has remained in the shadows of the American Revolution. One of the key architects of colonial rebellion, Warren was a man who might one day have led the country like Washington or Jefferson, his name etched in history alongside our country's legends: John Hancock, Samuel Adams, John Adams. But his tragic death at Bunker Hill in 1775 led to Warren's legacy, and his key contributions to the cause of American independence, being unjustly overlooked.
Now, with FOUNDING MARTYR: The Life and Death of Dr. Joseph Warren, the American Revolution's Lost Hero (Crown, On Sale: August 14, 2018), a passionate work of historical excavation and a culmination of nearly two decades of meticulous research, Christian Di Spigna has delivered the long overdue, definitive biography of a forgotten Founding Father.
In Massachusetts prior to 1776, Warren was considered one of the most serious threats to British rule. A high-ranking Whig radical, he served as president of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, played a central role in the Boston Tea Party, and operated an intricate spy ring that led to Paul Revere's midnight ride and set off the "shot heard round the world" that resulted in the historic Battles of Lexington and Concord. Di Spigna traces Warren's rise from the son of humble farmers to a powerful gentleman revolutionary and dives deep into Warren's personal life and his much-neglected but leading role as a combatant at Bunker Hill, as well as his heroic death on the battlefield and his remains' eighty year postmortem odyssey.
Di Spigna has unearthed scores of new primary source documents and managed to track down a number of Warren's direct descendants (many historians claim that the line had long since died out) in his quest to uncover the full scope of Warren's legacy. His thoughtful, judicious portrait not only restores Warren to his rightful place in the pantheon of Revolutionary greats, it gloriously complicates our understanding of the nation's dramatic beginnings.
CHRISTIAN DI SPIGNA is a writer based in Williamsburg, Virginia and New York City. A regularly appearing speaker and volunteer at Colonial Williamsburg, Di Spigna is an expert on the history of the era and educates wide audiences. http://www.foundingmartyr.com/

Anime-inspired Robotic Exoskeleton becomes a reality
November 21, 2014 Christian Crisostomo
The world of literature and entertainment has spawned many different technologies, as proved by this one, very long-standing sci-fi series. In Japan, ideas can also come from the same place, and this anime-inspired technology is one of their latest creations.
HAL robot exoskeleton designer Cyberdyne, in cooperation with Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), developed the idea of creating an exoskeletal robot similar to the HUG Assistant Robotic Exoskeletal Frame. The HUG unit, as it is commonly known, first appeared in Robotics;Notes, a Japanese visual novel game/anime that mainly dealt with the fundamentals of concepts and ideas in robotics. It was introduced as an assistant unit that helped disabled people regain the ability to walk. Strapped around the waist, it provided support to the user's vertebrae, and can be extended all the way to both legs with add-ons.
Cyberdyne recently acquired the patents to the technology earlier this November, and the company is planning introduce it as a new HAL "industry assistant-type" robotic exoskeleton. Their version of the HUG unit will be designed to work in two ways. First, as suggested by its designation, it can be used by workers to lessen the burden of physical work. Second, it can function similar to the original HUG unit, as an assistant unit made to help injured and disabled people. The new HAL robotic exoskeleton will be designed to automatically calibrate its resistance load depending on the electric signals sent to the user's back muscles.
A demonstration event was recently opened by Cyberdyne and NEDO to showcase its very first prototype. The prototype was shown to be able to assist a regular user to lift a total of 40kg in raw weight. As for its availability, the plan is to lease the units to interested customers, instead of distributing them as a commercial product.
One trivial fact, the Robotics;Notes game/anime was set on the year 2017, and with a prototype already shown for demonstration, NEDO and Cyberdyne seems to be set to make the HUG unit a canon reality.

AAAS programs coaching new generation of science journalists
September 27, 2019 September 27, 2019 Cris Asher Coaching, Generation, Science Journalists, Scientists
As a fifth-year Ph.D. understudy concentrating the romance moves of bouncing insects, Sebastian Echeverri isn't acquainted with his skill drawing in the consideration of anybody past a bunch of individual arachnologists.
This late spring, be that as it may, Echeverri ended up on staff at The Philadelphia Inquirer, pet tarantula around his work area, expounding on this present reality science behind Spider-Man's superpowers. The 1200-word article secured everything from insects' delicate body hairs to the capacity of specific species to stick to dividers while holding multiple times their own weight. On 16 July, two weeks after the arrival of Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: Far From Home, The Inquirer gave the piece a full-page spread on the front of its Life segment. Its subsidiary newspaper, the Philadelphia Daily News, additionally ran the story as a lead highlight.
"When I sent my friends and family the story, there were a lot of Peter Parker jokes going around, because I had the exclusive scoop on Spider-Man's powers," said Echeverri, who is working on his dissertation at the University of Pittsburgh. "Obviously, for me, that was a dream come true. I've always felt a connection to that character."
The Spider-Man story was one of nine bits of science news that Echeverri composed for The Inquirer this mid year, on account of a Mass Media Science and Engineering Fellowship from the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Every year, in a 10-week program, AAAS spots propelled undergrad, graduate, and postgraduate researchers as Mass Media colleagues at news associations over the United States.
Simultaneously, the association has the Diverse Voices in Science Journalism Internship, setting undergrad reporting understudies on the news group at the AAAS-distributed Science magazine for the mid year. Together, the projects work to prepare the up and coming age of science essayists and reinforce the associations among researchers and columnists, honing analysts' capacity to convey complex science to the general population while improving the broadness and profundity of science-related inclusion in the predominant press.
Since the Mass Media Fellowship's debut summer in 1975, when 10 researchers partook, the program has developed reliably. As of late, with the absolute number of graduated class moving over 700, AAAS has concentrated on putting more colleagues at outlets in the nation's heartland, notwithstanding those on the coasts. With 26 colleagues working at a differing cluster of print, online-just, and communicate outlets, this present summer's gathering was the program's biggest. Following the cooperation, a few members come back to the scholarly community, while others go on to effective professions in science correspondence, as writers or open data officials.
"You all are primarily scientists, not journalists," said Kristin Lewis, who leads the Mass Media program for the AAAS Center for Public Engagement with Science and Technology, at the fellows' orientation in June. "At least you were before this summer. Now that distinction might start to blur."
At the point when Echeverri touched base at The Inquirer in June, staff quickly valued his commitments. He utilized the basic reasoning abilities he has worked as a specialist in covering subjects well outside of his insightful specialty, for example, an examination on online segregation and loathe wrongdoings, and they remained on as a consultant to chip away at an anecdote about how environmental change is influencing the Delaware River watershed, which was distributed in mid-September. The Spider-Man piece, however, was his showstopper.
"Sebastian won over readers who thought they weren't interested in science," said Charlotte Sutton, The Inquirer's health and science editor. "My husband doesn't read science stories, and he always complains when stories are long. But he was all the way through that one, like, 'what a great story.'"
Though most understudies hang tight for bearing, Sutton stated, every one of the four Mass Media colleagues they has managed shown up anxious to transform their specific information into accounts important to a general group of spectators. they acknowledges the energy and exceptional point of view that they bring.
"Science is difficult, and it's under siege these days," Sutton said. "It's more important than ever to get people who are creative in their thinking and how they write about science."
The Diverse Voices entry level position, which AAAS established in 2005, looks to explain such innovative announcing by acquainting the science beat with youthful essayists who as of now have a strong establishment in news coverage. Like Mass Media colleagues, Diverse Voices assistants fill in as science writers for a 10-week stretch each late spring. A large portion of the understudies are seeking after or have as of late finished an undergrad news-casting degree, instead of a propelled science qualification, and many originate from networks where science composing has been generally underrepresented. Their arrangement at Science magazine gives them presentation to a news activity gave exclusively to science detailing.
Different Voices understudies gain recognition with numerous aspects of Science's activity, including composing 250-word, lay-language study outlines, called ScienceShots, and procuring print and online bylines on completely detailed stories. Katie Camero, one of the current year's three Diverse Voices assistants, moved on from Boston University in May with a noteworthy in reporting and a minor in natural science. In making stories on turtle fetuses, sea fermentation, and that's only the tip of the iceberg, Camero appreciated the test of fitting her language to Science's readership.
"It was hard to be conversational but academic at the same time; it was hard to figure out what information the audience already knows," they said. "Do I have to explain what an electron is? Do I have to explain what CO2 stands for?"
While utilizing their familiarity with Spanish to help a Science editorial manager create contacts in South America, Sabine Galvis, a 2019 Diverse Voices understudy and senior in news coverage school at Arizona State University, had the option to connect with Ecuador's clergyman of horticulture. The discussion prompted a distributed Q&A about how Ecuador—the world's biggest banana exporter—was ensuring the natural product against a possibly decimating parasite reputed to have showed up in Colombia. After two weeks, after Galvis' family in Colombia informed their affirming the parasite's appearance, they distributed a story on the nation's subsequent highly sensitive situation.
"Everyone in the office was very willing to offer their expertise and guidance," Galvis said of the internship. "I think the biggest part of it for me was the mentorship and networking. And I walked away with a couple of clips that I can be really proud of."
As a Mass Media individual at King 5 News in Seattle, Laura Fattaruso pitched thoughts for online stories, some of which progressed toward becoming TV sections. In the case of finding out about the design of the mosquito mind or joining University of Washington scientists on a pontoon to test their recently created tidal vitality turbine, Fattaruso attempted to make apparently inconceivable themes open—first to herself and afterward to perusers and watchers.
"I think a lot of the skills that I developed in this fellowship will translate into better communicating my own research," said Fattaruso, who studies earthquakes as a second-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. "Really getting to the point of why I'm doing this, what it means for other people, and how it could be useful."
Jennifer DeMoss, who spent the late spring at The News and Observer in Raleigh, N.C., chose to apply for the Mass Media Fellowship 4 years back, in the wake of perusing a program flyer. Presently finishing her exposition inquire about on wild training and human instinct connections at the University of Georgia, DeMoss chose that this late spring was the ideal time to partake. The experience left her without any questions concerning what profession they intends to seek after.
"I'm deliriously happy," said DeMoss during her second-to-a week ago at The News and Observer. "If they would hire me here tomorrow to be the science writer, I would do it in a heartbeat."

The hugely popular Helia 44 has undergone a major facelift and has now been launched as the Helia 44 Evolution as of late 2015. Redesigned portholes in the catamaran's hulls increase natural light by 30% while delivering enhanced views and a stylish aesthetic. The newly recessed mast creates brilliant panoramic vistas from the saloon and allow even more natural light to illuminate the interior, which enjoys a sleek, contemporary redesign. The saloon, galley and entertaining cockpit flow effortlessly together for dining and socializing inside or out. The natural light created from the Helia's new cabin top "sky lights" has been a great success; and the newly designed helm station is making single-handed sailing a breeze.
The whole boat just comes together with new sun lounge on the coach roof to create a complete family cruising offer. Impressive offshore sailing performance, optimal safety and ease of handling are at the forefront of the Helia 44 design. From the protected, high-visibility helm station set to starboard, connecting directly to the aft cockpit below by a short flight of stairs. The bench at the helm station has been thoughtfully designed for three people to enjoy the sailing experience alongside the skipper, and with sailing controls close at hand, all maneuvers are controlled from there, with an easily accessible boom as well.
The accommodation aboard the Hélia 44 is equally impressive for a mid-size catamaran, with 4 cabins accessed from the main saloon above, down short flights of stairs, port and starboard. Located off the passageways, the layout provides for four cabins designed as peaceful, roomy retreats. They also enjoy excellent natural light and ventilation from opening ports both above and surrounding each cabin, with large windows affording surprisingly good views. All cabins feature double beds with four private ensuite bathrooms.

Irena Martínková (* 19. September 1986 in Kolín, Tschechoslowakei) ist eine tschechische Fußballspielerin. 2003 spielte sie erstmals in der tschechischen Nationalmannschaft. Sie ist die Zwillingsschwester der tschechischen Rekordnationalspielerin Lucie Martínková.

Karriere

Verein
Martínková spielte zusammen mit ihrer Zwillingsschwester Lucie mit Ausnahme eines zweijährigen Engagements beim schwedischen Erstligisten KIF Örebro hauptsächlich bei Sparta Prag. Beide bestritten für den Verein je insgesamt 20 Spiele in der UEFA Women's Champions League. Bestes Ergebnis war für sie das Erreichen des Achtelfinales 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13 und 2017/18.

Nationalmannschaft
Im Mai 2002 kamen die Zwillinge bei einem Freundschaftsspiel gegen Belgien zu ihrem einzigen Einsatz in der tschechischen U-17-Mannschaft, wobei Irena per Strafstoß das Tor für die Tschechinnen bei der 1:4-Niederlage erzielte. Fünf Monate später bestritten beide gegen Italien ihr erstes Spiel für die U-19-Mannschaft, wobei Lucie aber bereits nach einer Minute ausgewechselt wurde. 2003 hatten dann beide elf bzw. zehn Einsätze in der U-19-Mannschaft, u. a. in der zweiten Qualifikationsrunde zur U-19-Fußball-Europameisterschaft der Frauen 2003 im April, wo sie als Dritte die Endrunde verpassten, und im September in der ersten Qualifikationsrunde zur U-19-Fußball-Europameisterschaft der Frauen 2004, wo sie als Dritte die zweite Runde verpassten. Dazwischen hatten beide ihren ersten Einsatz in der A-Nationalelf. Im ersten Qualifikationsspiel zur EM 2005 am 8. Juni 2003 gegen die Ukraine wurde Irena in der 76. Minute und Lucie zur zweiten Halbzeit eingewechselt. Es blieb 2003 ihr einziger gemeinsamer Einsatz in der A-Elf, Irena kam noch zu einem weiteren und Lucie zu drei Einsätzen 2003. 2004 und 2005 spielten dann beide sowohl noch für die U-19 als auch die A-Elf, dann aber wieder – bis auf ein Spiel – gemeinsam. 2005 hatten sie fünf Spiele zusammen in der A-Elf, einmal wurde nur Irena eingesetzt. In den nächsten Jahren hatte Lucie dann immer mehr Einsätze und bestritt am 7. November 2019 gegen Aserbaidschan als erste Tschechin ihr 100. Länderspiel, während Irena es bis dahin auf erst 75 A-Länderspiele gebracht hatte. Ein großes Turnier konnten sie bisher nicht erreichen. In der Qualifikation zur EM 2005 und 2009 scheiterten sie in den Play-offs jeweils an Italien, danach konnten sie erst wieder in der Qualifikation für die EM 2022 die noch ausstehenden Playoffs erreichen. In den Qualifikationen für die WM 2007 und 2011 wurden sie jeweils Zweite hinter Schweden, aber nur die Schwedinnen qualifizierten sich direkt oder spielten in den Play-offs. Danach wurden sie jeweils Dritte.

Erfolge
 Tschechische Meisterin: 2009/2010, 2010/2011, 2011/2012, 2017/2018, 2018/2019
 Tschechische Pokalsiegerin: 2011/2012, 2016/2017, 2017/2018, 2018/2019

60 day deadline on jail information
Jail focus of CTAS study
CTAS to conduct jail study
County has 60 days to roundup jail info
Correction group plans Woodbury session
By MIKE WEST/ Courier Editor
Officials from the Tenn-essee Corrections Institute are giving authorities 60 days to collect information about overcrowding at the Cannon County Jail.
"I don't want to build jails. I want to build schools," said Bob Bass, detention facilities specialist with the Tennessee Corrections Institute (TCI). But building new jails or expanding existing ones is often the only option.
The facility often has 60 inmates in a jail that was built in 1973 for a maximum of 43 inmates. TCI is looking into that problem as part of a plan of action Cannon County agreed to in 2012. The county entered into TCI's County Corrections Partnership Initiative as a result.
This initiative is designed to help the county avoid lawsuits for constitutional violations.
TCI is required to establish minimum standards for adult local jails, lock-ups, workhouses and detention facilities in Tennessee. TCI also provides technical assistance and conducts research in relation to requests from local correctional detention facilities, the Tennessee legislature and other state agencies.
Bass met with Sheriff Darrell Young, Woodbury Police Chief Kevin Mooneyham and the members of the County Commission's Law Enforcement Committee Wednesday night (Feb. 6) at the Courthouse. Miller Meadows, detention facilities specialist, also met with local officials.
"Your jail staff is really doing a good job," Bass said. "But let's remember the judge is mandated to put people in jail."
And the numbers of inmates at Cannon County Jail is continuing to grow chiefly due the problem posed by methamphetamine.
Sheriff Young said 70 percent of the local inmates are in jail on drug offenses or related issues like burglary.
"Can we also get a figure on who is in the jail and how many of them are drug-related," asked Bass.
Bass also asked local officials to consider security issues at the Cannon County Courthouse.
"The No. 1 choice of many counties is to establish a criminal justice center" at their jail, he said. In that situation, security is much tighter, transportation costs are less as is employee costs.
"You need to gather some data on this courthouse," Bass said. "You (county officials) are looking at the trees. We (TCI) come in and see the forest."
TCI officials also asked county officials about outreach programs and community service at the jail.
"You are ahead of the curve because you have room to expand," Bass said.
But much of that property at the jail is in the flood plain, pointed out County Commissioner James Russell Reed.

When the peppers are ready to pick but do not yet have tomatoes ready to accompany them they like to find their way into the freezer. Eventually the peppers will join the tomatoes in spaghetti sauce, salsa, chili sauce, and tomato soup. I also like to keep some diced peppers for cooking throughout the winter time. Freezing peppers is a great way to speed up dinner prep and use your garden year round.
How to? Easy as 1-2-3 and a VERY quick 4.
2- Remove Core, stem, and seeds. To do this I cut off the stem and slice the pepper lenghthwise. I then remove the seeds with a spoon.
4- Bag and Freeze. You may want to use a vacuum sealer if your peppers will be in the freezer all winter. I use Ziplock freezer bags because I only plan to keep the peppers frozen for 4-6 weeks, or until I can get them into bottles.

Today in history: O.J. Simpson tried on the bloody gloves on June 15th, 1995
Morgan Giordano, AOL.com
Jun 14th 2015 6:06PM
'If it doesn't fit, you must acquit,' O.J. Simpson's lawyer Johnnie Cochran quipped on June 15th, 1995.
Twenty years ago today, the infamous bloody glove incident took place and was forever entrenched in pop culture.
A dark leather glove, similar to one that Simpson was photographed wearing in the past, was found at his Brentwood estate. It was soaked in blood and had a piece of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson's hair on it.
A year and two days after Nicole Simpson Brown and her friend Ron Goldman were found dead near her condo, the charismatic NFL running back tried on the glove in the courtroom at the insistence of prosecutor Chris Darden. "I looked at his hands and I looked at the gloves and I thought they would fit," He told the Associated Press.
The gloves wouldn't budge beyond his knuckles. Simpson held his hands up to the jury and said '"they're too small."

So much was resting on that piece of evidence that all looked like it was lost for the prosecution, despite many months of testimonies ahead.
It was argued that the bloody glove had been frozen and thawed multiple times, which would have changed the fit. There were also claims that Simpson had arthritis and had not been taking his prescriptions, which would have led to swelling, and that the latex gloves he wore underneath made his hands larger.
Simpson was found not guilty of the murders on October 3rd, 1995.

Tapinella atrotomentosa (Batsch) Šutara, Česká Mykol. 46(1-2): 50 (1992)

La T. atrotomentosa è un fungo corposo che non molto tempo fa apparteneva - insieme ad altre specie congeneri - al genere Paxillus.
La stessa è lignicola e si sviluppa normalmente cespitosa, inconfondibile per il gambo assai scuro e vellutato.

Descrizione della specie

Cappello
Convesso, poi spianato ed infine concavo e persino imbutito, con margine revoluto.

Lamelle
Fitte, decorrenti sul gambo; color giallo-ocra chiaro, si macchiano al tocco; separabili.

Gambo
Massiccio e radicato, scuro e velluatato per tutto il suo sviluppo, non presenta soluzione di continuità con il cappello del quale condivide la parte terminale delle lamelle che assumono al suo apice il medesimo colore bruno scuro.

Carne
Soda e consistente ma presto fibrosa, di color cuoio chiaro vira al blu-violetto al taglio.

 Odore: mite, appena fruttato.
 Sapore: acerbo e legante.

Spore
Color ocra-brunastro, come molte altre Paxillaceae.

Habitat
Ceppaie marcescenti di cui si nutre (saprofita).

Commestibilità
Sospetto, come tutte le specie del genere Tapinella. Si pensa possa scatenare la pericolosa Sindrome paxillica come P. involutus.
In ogni caso non sarebbe ugualmente commestibile per via del sapore ripugnante.

Heart in a mason jar. Alex Culbreth & the Dead Country Stars
You can listen to and buy Heart in a mason jar here.
One of the very first reviews on this blog was the first album of The Parlor Soldiers (click here for the review). Alex Culbreth is the male half of this Fredericksburg, Virginia, based duo and now has released his 10th solo album, Heart in a mason jar. Those who are familiar with 'When the dust settles' will not be surprised that Culbreth roughly works within the same idiom. So I was presented with a mix of alt.americana, balladry, country and bluegrass. As this is a very traditional form of music, for me the distinction is whether the songs hold up. Let me get to that below. What surprised me, is that there are some rock influences as well, which I also very much like. You will know what I mean if start playing the first song of the album.
If this album teaches me something it is that perfection is not what Alex Culbreth searches for. Passion and at times excitement come closer in my opinion. So no clean singing here, but a voice that shows itself the worse for wear and tear in a charming way. It's rough, with some edges and hooks that can tear up a lyric line where called for. Some people may have to get passed his voice first, but to me he could be the son of Levon Helm. And aren't the songs that Helm sang in The Band, the bests ones, really? So here Culbreth has won me over easily.
Musically the same happens. If he went on to play in The Hackensaw Boys, also from Virgina, just down the road in Charlottesville, they would have a great songwriter among its midst. Some songs would definitely work in this fired-up bluegrass band. Just listen to the way 'Bang bang' kicks in, then you know what I mean. It's not just Alex's voice that reminds me of The Band. A song like 'By and by' would certainly look good on an album like 'The Band'. The setting is just more traditional, with mandolines and violins in there, than most The Band songs.
The album kicks of with the title song, that is more electrically charged than a lot what happens later on. Despite I like the song a lot, it does set the listener on the wrong foot though. The same goes for song number 2 (great title!) 'Drinkin' about you', which is pure country (and nearly too much so for me). It's only after this that Heart in a mason jar comes into its own right. The variation of songs is not something that stops, but it all fits better together. The tempo may go up or down, The Dead Country Stars gel. Regularly the fiddle of Eddie Dickerson and the banjo of Jimbo Carrico stand out as dominant instruments, as they are supposed to in traditional US music.
Several band members sing behind and with Alex Culbreth giving the impression that we all could sing with him. A sing-a-long in the pub or at a summer camp fire, but with people who can really lay down a background vocal. In the duets with singer Rachel Childress, as in 'I'm going to Nashville', Culbreth comes closest to The Parlor Soldiers. With this song we have a beautiful bitter-sweet ballad, that is about leaving, but not as if he does so wholeheartedly. "I hope it's better in Nashville" explains his hesitation. 'Rattle them chains' is again electrically charged and bluesy. By then it's clear that the listener is on a musical adventure and only has to follow the roads and bends Alex Culbreth wants to take. It has become my pleasure to do so, as Heart in a mason jar is a very good and well-balanced album.
There's even a little room for a political message in 'Let's send the politicians of to war'. Perhaps not very original, but it would sure end wars sooner if they got to fight instead of 20 year olds. If they happened at all.
After 'When the dust settles' Alex Culbreth has come up with a very good solo album that ought to appeal to everyone who likes his alt.americana a little bit rough at the edges, but inventive and varied. So do these songs hold up? Oh yes, there's a fan to add to his solo fan base.

NEWPORT, R.I. � The Newport City Council on Wednesday night joined councils in Middletown and Jamestown in calling on the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority to install a median barrier on the Pell Bridge to separate the eastbound and westbound lanes of travel as soon as possible.
The Middletown Town Council passed its resolution Monday and the Jamestown Town Council acted on Nov. 18.
Newport council members cited recent accidents in which drivers were killed in head-on collisions after a vehicle crossed the double-yellow lines that now separate the eastbound and westbound lanes.
Mayor Harry Winthrop said he has been in contact with the family of Elijah Swift, 75, of Exeter, who was involved in a head-on collision on the bridge on Christmas Eve and died at Rhode Island Hospital on Dec. 30. He said he expressed his condolences to the family.
Winthrop said he also contacted the family of William J. Oberg, 25, of Warwick, the other driver, who now is at home recovering from his injuries.
Swift was driving east in a pickup truck in the travel lane of the bridge about 3 p.m. when the truck inexplicably crossed the center line and hit head-on a car driven by Oberg, according to State Police.
Another two-car head-on crash killed Kenneth Prior of Jamestown and Kathy Meunier of Warwick on Oct. 21, 2011. An eastbound car driven by a 17-year-old Middletown boy crossed the center dividing line and hit the westbound car being driven by Meunier, killing her instantly. Prior was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where he later was pronounced dead. The teen driver was fined for speeding because the police accident reconstruction determined the vehicle he was driving was traveling at 62 mph when it struck Meunier�s car. The speed limit on the bridge is 40 mph.
�The reality is, the Pell Bridge is a two-mile speedway,� Councilman Justin S. McLaughlin said. The installation of the barrier �needs to be done,� he said.
The Newport resolution refers to studies and information conducted and collected by the bridge authority.
From 2006 through 2009, 130 vehicles were involved in 72 accidents on the 2-mile-long bridge, according to that application. Eighteen of those accidents involved vehicles that crossed the center dividing lane.
The authority voted on Dec. 18 to conduct a traffic study to determine the impacts of a barrier on the bridge. The study is estimated to take two months to complete. Installation of any barrier will not happen, though, until the ongoing painting and steel repair project on the bridge is completed, which is many months away, according to the authority.
A report from Parsons Brinckerhoff Inc. of Boston, a consultant for the authority, determined that installing a median on the 44-year-old bridge not only was viable, but would help improve the stability of the bridge. The report said adding the weight of a median barrier would reduce naturally occurring �flutter,� or wind drift.
The Parsons Brinckerhoff study recommended the authority install one of three different types of barriers. Two are �flexible� types of barriers that provide �controlled deflection� of vehicles striking them, according to the report.
The final option is the more common rigid concrete barrier that is anchored and immoveable.
One effect of the barrier would be a narrowing of the 12-foot travel lanes, according to the authority.

Q: Microphone problem in Ubuntu 11.10 I am using both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 on a single system with the same hardware. While I'm making call through Gmail or Skype my voice is audible to others while I'm on Windows 7, but while I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 it's not audible to others, but I am able to hear their voice. But while I'm playing music on Ubuntu along with a call, the others are able to hear the music, but my voice is not audible for them.
Please give me a solution for this and tell me where I can change the microphone settings on Ubuntu 11.10.

A: The settings for the microphone can be accessed by clicking on the sound icon at the top right bar, which looks like a speaker with the sound waves coming out of it.
If you click on that then you can see the option to open your sound settings.  Do this and go to input, which is microphone.  You might have a couple options like front mic or rear mic, and you might need to try out those options.
A lot of this has to do with your sound card which is usually on board your motherboard.  Can you tell me what kind of motherboard you have?
Oh, and sometimes the problem lies within Skype, try to open the options in skype and see whether you have options for your mic.

A: In terminal write alsamixer and you will get a sound manager. Once in, press F4 to access capture settings. If any of the "Capture"-modules have a couple of lines underneath -------- , try marking the module with the arrow keys, and pressing Spacebar .
You will see some red text, which indicates, that the module is recording.
Maybe this will work.

A: Try reducing the Mic Boost on alsamixer to 0, doing so lowered the background noise so my voice was audible. It's not perfect but it seem usable on GoogleTalk/Skype, I tested it on the sound recorder.
Hope this helps.

A: The only solution to make microphone work is to install linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic...
Just go to:
Menu / System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager
And search and mark for installation:
linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic

tip: if you have multiple versions click on the first and read the description which should inform what name to install...
If after the reboot and mic mute is off, still does not work, just go to terminal and type:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and add or change the following:
options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes

Then Ctrl+X, type Y to write and exit, reboot and mic will work.
Bye and have lots of fun with Ubuntu (the best).

A: Try changing the frequency of yourmic. This one worked for me.
