Personal care products, such as deodorants, body washes, hair dyes, cosmetics and nail polish.
Sadly I need to find a new liquid foundation.
I actually really like this product. I tried it at the store and I really loved it so I purchased the shade light. It matches perfect with my skin tone. About me NW20 or below, blonde hair, green eyes, very cool undertones for reference. On top of that I have enlarged pores my skin is combination and I do not have acne or any other skin issues. So for me this product is perfect because it evens out my skin and it seems to blur minor imperfections. I like this because I was looking for something with very minimal coverage. For me being combo I haven't had any problems with it my skin doesn't get super oily or anything.
To me this is the perfect no makeup,makeup product. This makes my skin look even and luminous. Since I do not have a lot of skin problems this works very well at giving my skin a flawless appearance. I could not see this working for anyone who wants true light coverage. This is lighter than a tinted moisturizer I think but it blurs and makes my skin look so pretty. So it has coverage but it's more an evening out while blurring minor imperfections. For me it makes my sin look perfect and I love with the colder months that this is moisturizing.
I like this product a lot and I haven't had any oxidation or breakouts. I think if you're looking for something just to even out your skin while making it look so pretty this is a great product to try. If you are looking to hide acne this will not work. If you want really pretty no makeup, makeup skin this is a great product to use.
This amounts to a silicone-based primer with a transparent wash of color in it. You can expect from it the same effects that a primer delivers. My skin felt smothered, making this intolerable for me to wear. I am not a fan of primers. It's far better to get a good serum to perform the same function as a primer with the benefits a serum offers. The product also balled up during application. I tried it with only moisturizer underneath and on top of bare skin, and it made no difference. There are far more comfortable finishes out there. This just didn't do it for me.
I was so excited for this product as it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for; something sheer, dewy and easy that just evened out my skintone a tad. Sadly the product seemed to weirdly oxidize on me and turned quite orange which I could somewhat stand since it's sheer, but what sadly ruined the product for me was the piling on the skin. I could wait 30-60 min for my skincare to really sink in and it would still find a way to pile like crazy.
A truly terrible product that piles like there is no tomorrow.
I recived a generous sample of this. The MAC artist decided to try Medium/ or Medium Plus on me. For reference I am NC41 in studio fix powder, and in the summer NC42 (end of summer) I am a Medium Deep Golden Shade.
So today I tried the Medium and the shade is seems quite natural. I feel like this is almost the Glossier version for Women of color. I have glossier skin tint in Medium and it reminds me of that perhaps with a little more pigment. I find that this is great for a casual look or a very natural daytime look. I think (and I have dry skin) that it needs to be set w/ a powder because of the slip it has.
One option you might consider instead of purchasing this is using the MAC face and body foundation (a very watery natural foundation) and mix it with a bit of luminance. For example I often mix my foundations with the soap and body blurring luminzer or the benefit pink liquid luminzer. not a lot - just a small drop or two.I could see myself using this as a primer or mixing it in with a foundation or using it in combination with my BB stick foundation.
I feel like this would be absorbed by a beauty blender similar to the way glossier skin tint could be. Over all it just creates a luminous soft coverage. I think that would be good for a natural pulled togather day look if you are having fatigued skin (for me working till 1 am and then returning 730 am at the hospital but still having to try and look pulled togather and polished but exhausted as heck) I will purchase but I will need to get color matched for the powder.
I actually have a bit of a heavy heart writing this review... I am an avid fan of Mac and love both their face and body foundation and their studio waterweight, where the first is still the markets most versatile foundation and the latter a perfect your skin but better foundation. As I am always however on the hunt for that perfect foundation/tinted moisturiser that you can just slap on that will not look like makeup but will still make your skin look it's absolute best - I was so excited for the next to nothing launch and hurried to the Mac counter to by my bottle of goodness. Or at least so I thought... It's been about a year now since this launched, and I have made countless attempts to make this thing work, at all... Because as you probably have read here or seen elsewhere this product pills like crazy on the skin. It balls up on anything you put underneith and even on just plain skin moisture if you are oily. And apart from it looking gross when you have to remove skin coloured peels from your skin it also renders the product to set very unevenly.
I have tried this product on myself and on other people with different skintypes compared to mine, (I am dry, mature, slightly textured skin aka enlarged pores due to age). And I can confirm that this product behaves exactly the same regardless of skintype. I am therefore quite a bit surprised whenever I read a positive review of this product, since I find it hard to beleive this will not pill on everybody. Because it does! However some of us may be less bothered by pilling even if I find also that a bit hard to believe... The pilling is worse however if you use more powerful moisturisers underneith that are either water- or oil based. If you can use it on bare skin or on top of a silicone heavy moisturiser like Hydration vaccine from Niod as a ref.
then it still pills but not as aggressively. Also you cannot build this one up or try to fill in gaps where it has pilled. (This is in accordance with the company description of this product). The end result will however always look a bit uneven if examined closely. From afar since this virtually gives no coverage the unevenness might not show up as much, but that is not due to any blurring properties of the product but more due to it not showing anything but a slight red based sheen. (The light plus shade).
Looking at the ingredients, this is a compound consisting of several different heavy silicones of the dimethecone type, polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol (today questioned ingredients due to their inability to break down in nature but very commonly used mainly in plastics). The perhaps most interesting ingredient in this is aluminium starch (An ingredient I have never seen in makeup before but more frequently found in deodorants to make you prevent sweating). Water is not the first ingredient in this.
As much as I still really love love love the idea of creating a foundation that looks invisible on the skin and makes your skin look just a tad bit better than if wearing nothing. I think Mac should have let this product go back to the drawing board once they realised the pilling problem was so severe, (because of course they know!) I have heard numerous equally comic tips from Mac reps on the counters and also in their pr clips on YouTube about all kinds of precautions needed to make this work the way it should... Now none of them work by the way, since this product behaves the same regardless and the pilling will always be there. Because it is there due to the mixture of ingredients. Of course I know time is money and creating new formulas for foundations cost a lot of time and effort and money. But it is so sad when something that could have been so good turnes out so bad... I think (of course not knowing) that the biggest problem in this compound is the mixture between silicones pegs/ppgs and aluminium starch that imo must create a product that wants to set and also build some kind of a film that does not allow moisture to come out. I don't know but perhaps the reaction would be similar if one would try to prime a face with a deodorant and then put on a silicone based foundation..? Apart from irritating the h-ll out of the skin, I assume pilling would be there...;) Anyhow the pilling begins when the product begins to change consistency and start to set.
1: As a primer underneith a foundation to give it a bit more glow. Under a foundation it's unevenness doesn't show up as badly and it does then also give a little extra glow to your foundation. It does alter the shade of the foundation you put in top a little, which might be important to consider. Light plus gives a bit of a pink/red glow through my foundation. If you need anything underneith the next to nothing when used as a primer I suggest trying a very silicone based moisturiser, since oils or water based moisturisers tend to make the pilling worse. Or at least wait a sufficient amount of time before adding the next to nothing allowing for the moisturiser to set properly. Using it this way will make your foundation to look a bit more radiant and perhaps ever so slightly more blurred.
A tinted moisturizer sort of like Neutrogena's Hydroboost but lighter in weight and better colors. I bought light plus for my NC 20 skin tone and it was perfect. It just gives skin a slightly better look. It does pill a little on my chin and tends to fade by the 5 hour mark but since it's so sheer who can tell? It is definitely like wearing nothing so if that's your thing this is for you. I like the FEEL of nothing but need a little bit more coverage so I want that unicorn of foundations.
IT CC cream, EL Doublewear light, Chanel perfection lumiere, and Clinique CC cream are still my favorites.
I love this sheer tinted moisturizer. This is the type of product that you will love or not care for . I have applied this on one side of my face with two coats and could not tell I had makeup on but the side with the Next to Nothing looked better and smoother. This reminds me of the Becca Luminous Skin colour a sheer foundation/tinted moisturizer that was discontinued about 4 years ago. I find Next to Nothing looks much better than the Becca product. This comes in 9 shades and I have shade light and light plus. Light is very pale with a slightly pinky peach tone and light plus is more of a light neutral beige.
I'm very pale around a NW 18 not quite NW 20 and NW 15 is a little to light for me. I bought light plus and loved the colour but it was a tad dark and went back and bought the light to mix the two shades together. Mixed this has to be one of the nicest shades I have ever tried. The light is just a little too light on it's own but mixed and used as a highlight makes my skin look radiant.
I have dry skin and use l'Oreal face oil with SPF first and then apply this. I usually do one coat with a brush and apply a second coat in a tapping motion so as to not move the product. You can still see redness but to cover that I apply a small amount of Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer around my nose and any redness. I also apply Maybelline Fit Me concealer under my eyes on top of Next to Nothing in light. The Fit Me blends in beautifully under my eyes. This is a makeup look I like for Saturday morning going for coffee and I want a very healthy natural skin complexion. On my skin Next to Nothing looks like fresh healthy glowing skin I had as a teenager. This does not settle into fine lines. This reminds me of the skin Kate Moss had from the early 90's in the Calvin Klein ads by photographer Mario Testino.
My everyday foundation is Lancome Teint Miracle in shade 2 Ivory C. it is the lightest shade with a cool tone but second lightest in the range. I also use Dior Air Flash on the weekends at night in shade 100. The Dior is a little dark for day use.
I really love this as a very natural skin complexion enhancer. Also if you like Mac Face and Body and need more coverage stay with F&B it gives more coverage. I like Face and Body on other people but it never looked that great on my skin. I had C1 and N1 but they were too dark and I had to mix it with the pure white shade. It never looked right. I think if you don't have to mix the white in it looks nice but the white changes the formula on me and makes it look dull. I also noticed this leaves my skin really soft after removing with my cleanser.
I hope MAC keeps this as a permanent addition.
Yes you read that right , all of the sudden it peels and my face is covered with what looks like the peels of an Eraser (Rubber)!!!

Adelaide International 2: Daria Kasatkina downs Petra Kvitova in last-eight clash
Daria Kasatkina reached the semi-finals of the Adelaide International 2 on Thursday. The fifth seed beat Petra Kvitova in the quarter-finals, 6-3, 7-6(3) after an hour and 32 minutes of play.
Both players didn't win much second-serve points, winning around 39%. But Kasatkina fared better when it came to winning first-serve points – she won 70% to the Czech's 56%. Kasatkina saved five of the eight break points she faced while converting five of the 10 break points she had on Kvitova's serve.
Adelaide International: Caroline Garcia toppled
After her win, Kasatkina said, "It was a hurricane inside after losing the [6-5] game, after being just one point away from the win. But I knew with Petra it doesn't matter the score, you have to always be ready for everything, because she's fighting until the end and she's very aggressive. You get a few winners [by Kvitova] and she's back. So, I'm really happy with my performance, the way I was able to keep my focus with the tiebreak, of course."
Next up for Kasatkina is Paula Badosa. The ninth seed from Spain needed two hours and 34 minutes to get past 11th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia, 7-6(5), 7-5. The match had three breaks of serve, two of which came on the Brazilian's serve.
Meanwhile, in the top half of the draw, eighth seed Belinda Bencic knocked out the fourth-seeded Caroline Garcia in their quarter-final meeting. The Swiss won 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 after an hour and 53 minutes of play.
Bencic failed to save both break points she faced while also going on to break Garcia's serve four times across the match.
For a place in the Adelaide International 2 final, Bencic will now play Veronika Kudermetova. The sixth seed came from down a set while staving of five match points to claim a 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-1 win over 10th seed Danielle Collins after two hours and 47 minutes of play.

Division of Family Health Care Nursing, Department of Nursing, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Kobe University, Kobe, Japan.
Caring is directed toward a variety of things. One of them is thought to be the concept of "family caring" aimed at families. This study attempts to clarify family caring and develop Family Care/ Caring Theory (FCCT), with the aim of implementing it in conjunction with an existing family nursing theory, the Concentric Sphere Family Environment Theory (CSFET). In Japan and in Hong Kong, family ethnography (including formal interviews) was conducted. As a result, the item "family health care nurses and their colleagues" was added to the family external environment of the CSFET. In the family environment, evidence was obtained to the effect that the family system unit is cared for by the nursing professional, and conversely the family system unit cares for the nursing professional, in a circular transaction. Observing the two-dimensional plane formed by the structural distance and functional distance, family caring assumes a structure of concentric circles, and according to transactions, the structural distance and functional distance between the nursing professional and family system unit are gradually approached, and through deepening of mutual trust maintain an appropriate distance. Moreover observing the three-dimensional space-time continuum which is created through addition of the temporal distance, family caring forms a helical structure. As transactions are repeated along the temporal axis, the family system unit's self-actualization of other individuals and the self-actualization of the nursing professional are realized. Through these processes, a family care/caring relationship is reinforced and established. This is the concept of FCCT. Through future utilization in clinical settings this will be empirically substantiated, and it will be necessary to continue making creative corrections and revisions.

Q: Exporting Spring MBeans to Tomcat's MBeanServer Instance I am playing around with spring's JMX support with a WAR file I deploy on a tomcat server (which I have running locally).  However, despite following the posted guides, I am unable to deploy my MBeans specifically to tomcat's MBeanServer instance.
I have tried a few variations of MBeanExporter and MBeanServerFactoryBean configurations, and nothing seems to be working.  Here is my current configuration:
<bean id="mbeanServer" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.MBeanServerFactoryBean">
    <property name="serviceUrl" value="service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://localhost:6969/jmxrmi"/>
</bean>

<bean id="exporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporter" lazy-init="false">
    <property name="server" ref="mbeanServer"/>
    <property name="beans">
        <map>
            <entry key="domain:name=notifier" value-ref="mBeanNotifier"/>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="mBeanNotifier" class="com.sei.poc.jmx.mbeans.SimpleMBeanNotifier"/>

And I have included the following arguments in tomcat's configuration as well:
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=6969
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false

I am able to connect to the mbeanServer manually by entering localhost:6969 into JConsole, but I only find native catalina MBeans.  When I dig through those MBeans, I even find references to my project, but unfortunately the MBean I declare is nowhere to be found.
I have tried removing the MBeanServerFactoryBean declaration in the hope that the exporter would be able to pick up tomcat's MBeanServer nativly (with no luck).  I have tried different variations of the service url as well, without success.
I should note that I am able to deploy MBeans to my local MBeanServer and view them with JConsole just fine.
Any suggestions as to what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

A: When you use a ServiceURL to get an MBeanServerConnection, the returned object is not an MBeanServer (i.e. it does not support registerObject).
Try replacing your mbeanServer bean with:
<bean id="mbeanServer" class="java.lang.management.ManagementFactory"
    lazy-init="false" factory-method="getPlatformMBeanServer">
</bean>

This will provide you a direct reference to the platform MBeanServer, which is what your JConsole is connecting to.

A: I was able to resolve my issue.  I am writing this test as a Spring MVC application, and thus have a few levels of context, broken up into different context files.
The issue was simply that the context file that held the MBeanExporter and MBean declarations were not being initialized until I actually went to localhost:/, which prompted the servlet to start loading its context files.
After connecting with my browser, the MBeans appeared in JConsole.

The annual conference of the Society for Japanese Blood Programme (Society) was held on October 4-6, 2015 in Osaka City.
The Society holds an annual conference with a theme to discuss a stable supply of safe blood products. The theme in Japanese for 2015 means: "For smiles to shine again".
In his lecture, Mr. Yamazawa stated that the JRCS experienced limited relief activities due to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident (Fukushima Daiichi accident) which occurred on March 11, 2011, and regretting the bitter experience, the JRCS has worked on nuclear disaster preparedness.
International contribution for promoting nuclear disaster preparedness.
In particular, the development of the Guidelines is the core of the efforts. Through the development, the JRCS hopes to disseminate its experience in Fukushima and fulfill a responsibility as a Red Cross National Society of the single country who experienced both the atomic bombings and the nuclear accident.
The purpose of the Guidelines is to protect the lives and health of survivors and also to secure the safety of JRCS responders. The target audience of the Guidelines is the JRCS staff and the Red Cross volunteers. The Guidelines divide the activity phases into three: Preparedness; Response; and Recovery.
There are still many challenges which cannot be solved by the JRCS independently to respond to nuclear disasters. Therefore, the JRCS will continue to consider those challenges with related organizations and revise the Guidelines accordingly.


When asking greenhouse growers about how they grew their best crop, you normally receive some combination of "we used last year's crops as a standard," to intuition, to good luck (read: the weather) and more.
This does have varying degrees of success, mind you. But as we begin to see trends of traditional farming systems move into controlled environments (greenhouses, indoor farms, etc.,) we unlock the potential for data to help us standardize our growth processes, and therefore repeat and improve upon them.
This one reason Motorleaf has created an artificial-intelligence powered Grow Journal, organizing recorded environmental data into a hyper-intuitive, multimedia record of crop cycles. This comes as one part of our larger software platform, Agronomist.ai.
If you grew a very successful crop—i.e you enjoyed high yields, better tasting vegetables, better smell, etc.,—how do you ensure that this happens the same way next time? Often, we've spoken to greenhouse operators who rely on the know-how and experience of their head grower. But if that grower decides to take a job up the road, the operator might find themselves stuck trying to fill in the blanks of best practices for their vegetable, greens, or cannabis plants.
Part of our solution, included in the Agronomist.ai software platform, was the Grow Protocol Journal. Humidity, C02, temperature, light spectrum levels, time-lapse video, as well as user-inputted notes and pictures all can be recorded, and divided into neat, organized "journal entries," or crop protocols, per crop cycle. This means a huge increase in the standardization of the way we grow crops, and an intuitive interface to make the experience easier and more effective.
As the accumulation of data occurs, it is categorized and analyzed: we call this the grow vault. Then we build a system, using artificial intelligence, that improves in its ability to address challenges related to a specific growing environment. This is how we are able to incorporate services like yield predictions (read about it right here) and crop modelling into Agronomist.ai.
By increasing the amount of data that is received, and building custom machine learning algorithms for each greenhouse environment, we can help greenhouses continuously improve their grow protocols, by analyzing the data and finding patterns until…. wait for it… the perfect crop blooms!

Q: Posting object with list of ints from jquery to .net mvc 3 controller I'm having difficulty posting a JavaScript object via jQuery to a .net MVC 3 controller.
My object:
var postData = {
    'thing1' : "whatever",
    'thing2' : "something else",
    'thing3' : [1, 2, 3, 4]
}

My jQuery Call:
$.post('<%= Url.Action("Commit", "MassEdit") %>', postData, function (data) {
    // stuff
});

My View Model:
public class SubmitThing {
    public string thing1 { get; set; }
    public string thing2 { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<int> thing3 { get; set; }
}

My controller:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Commit(SubmitThing changes)
{
    return new EmptyResult();
}

The problem is that my 'changes' object that I have within my controller have thing1 equal to "whatever", thing2 equal to "something else", but thing3 is null.  Now do I get thing3 to be my list of integers?
Added: I think this is more of a mapping issue than a serialization issue.  In my controller, if I look at
HttpContext.Request.Form["thing3[]"]

I get a string with the value of "1,2,3,4".  But again, I'd like the mapping to just work.
Thanks!

A: Just post it as json:
    $.ajax({
        url: '<%= Url.Action("Commit", "MassEdit") %>',
        type: 'POST',
        dataType: 'json',
        data: JSON.stringify({'thing1' : "whatever",
    'thing2' : "something else",
    'thing3' : [1, 2, 3, 4]
}),
        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        success: function (data) {

        }
    });

and it should work

A: Hi why don't you join the values before passing them?
var thing3 = [1, 2, 3, 4];

thing3 = thing3.join(',');

var postData = {
    'thing1' : "whatever",
    'thing2' : "something else",
    'thing3' : thing3
}

otherwise i think you have to use the $.ajax function to have it serialaize the array

A: I'm doing something similar in a web forms project, but I'm using List<int> instead of IEnumberable<int>  (edit to add:)  And it's working...  ;)
EDIT 2 :
Looking farther at what we're doing different.  Could you try building your object slightly differently and using JSON.stringify()?  The following is a bit closer to what's working for me...
var postData = JSON.stringify({
    thing1 : "whatever",
    thing2 : "something else",
    thing3 : [1, 2, 3, 4]
});

A Novel Vision Sensor for Remote Measurement of Bridge Displacement
This project was aimed at developing a camera-based computer vision sensor system for accurate remote measurement of multipoint bridge displacements in outdoor environments. The vision sensor can track the movement of natural targets on the structure from a convenient remote location without accessing the bridge to install sensors, thus significantly reducing the cost of the equipment and operation as compared to conventional sensors. In addition, the measurement points can be easily altered in post processing of the video. However, outdoor conditions such as changes in illumination and background, heat haze-induced image distortions, and camera vibration can cause significant measurement errors. To overcome these challenges, this project developed innovative algorithms and methods including (1) a gradient-based template matching algorithm for robust tracking of "natural" markers (such as rivets on a bridge), integrated with a subpixel technique for enhancing image resolution required for multipoint measurement; (2) a heat haze filtering technique based on detection and statistical characterization of heat haze-induced image distortions; and (3) a practical vibration cancellation method based on simultaneous measurement of displacements of the target structure and a stationary point. In addition, this project proposed a practical calibration method to convert image pixel displacements into physical displacements. The project was executed in two stages. Stage 1 focused on developing the algorithms, techniques and methods to systematically address all sources of environmental noise that deteriorate image quality and measurement accuracy. Extensive laboratory tests were carried out to validate the effectiveness of the developed algorithms and techniques using simulated environmental noise including low-lighting, shadowing, heat haze, and change in illuminating light and background conditions. In Stage 2, the algorithms developed in Stage 1 were integrated into a software package and field performance evaluation tests were carried in three bridges including two long-span steel bridges, the Manhattan Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge, and a short-span concrete bridge, the Jamboree Bridge. The remote, real-time and multipoint measurement capabilities of the vision sensor system developed in this study were further validated in presence of various sources of field environmental noise including heat haze and camera vibration. In addition, this project demonstrated, through a laboratory experiment, the use of the vision sensor system for structural dynamic tests, modal analysis, and damage detection, by simultaneously measuring a dense array of displacements at extremely low cost. In the future, the system can be further developed for permanent installation at bridge sites to enable long-term continuous monitoring of structural integrity and safety. The final report is available.

Stories by Parajumpers – Jason Roberts
Festivals / Shows
The rugged beauty of Svalbard can make it difficult to leave. Just ask Jason Roberts, originally from Australia and one of the longtime residents of the Norwegian Archipelago. After arriving almost 30 years ago, a taste for adventure was what initially drew the documentary maker to the Icy Coast.
"The reason I stayed so long in the early days was very much the possibilities for stepping out into the total wilderness and being able to explore one of the most amazing environments on the planet".
Having worked on major wildlife productions, both in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, Jason is now passionate about the educational side of his job. In particular, being able to collaborate with projects aimed at raising awareness and knowledge on the role of nature, wildlife and its preservation.
"I live on a remote Island and work in the world's most remote regions of the planet but we at PolarX 90 have a global job and reach out to a global audience".
And life in the cold north has been full of memorable moments for Jason, including working on the opening sequence of major conservation documentary, Planet Earth by BBC. "There was a female polar bear coming out of her maternity den for the first time with two little cubbies. And they slide out of the den, down the snow slopes." He tells us, "And I remember seeing that same scene years later on Times Square screens and going "Oh I know that bear!".

Create Petition
Zero on Hylan Boulevard
Support Transportation Alternatives' mission by becoming a TransAlt member for $50 or more.
$25 $50 $75 $150 $300 Other
Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island's longest roadway, serves as one of the borough's primary arterial roadways and is the only continuous north-south route on the South Shore of Staten Island. Throughout this corridor, there are many residential communities and active commercial districts that attract high volumes of vehicular traffic. On a typical weekday, 44,000 vehicles and 32,000 bus riders use the 14-mile-long corridor.
Hylan Boulevard is also one of Staten Island's deadliest roads. Six of the the ten deadliest intersections on S.I. are on this road and, when adjusted for population density, Hylan Boulevard is far deadlier than the infamous Queens Boulevard - long known as the "Boulevard of Death".
After being named a Vision Zero Priority Corridor, we have yet to see significant effort or resources put into making Hylan Boulevard safer for everyone. This is unacceptable, but we have the power to change it by making our voices heard.
Tell our elected officials that we need a champion for street safety on Staten Island and, if they truly want Vision Zero to be a success in their borough, they should demand that more effort and resources are put into creating a safer Hylan Boulevard for everyone!
This petition will be delivered to
Borough President James Oddo, Council Member Debi Rose, Council Member Steven Matteo, Council Member Joe Borelli
After being named a Vision Zero Priority Corridor, Hylan Boulevard has not seen much improvement. In 2015, a wave of pedestrian and cyclist fatalities caused Transportation Alternatives to name Hylan Boulevard the "New Boulevard of Death" because when adjusted per capita, Hylan Boulevard is far more dangerous than the notorious Queens Boulevard - the original "Boulevard of Death". Six of the ten deadliest Staten Island intersections are on Hylan Boulevard, and it is only getting worse.
This is unacceptable and we need you, as our elected representative, to become a champion for street safety on Staten Island and demand that NYC put more effort and resources into making Hylan Boulevard safer for everyone.

Astroswap (ASTRO) gains nearly 7% after announcing a new partnership with World Mobile
Coin Journal
Astroswap (ASTRO) is reporting gains of around 7% today after the DEX confirmed a brand new partnership with World Mobile, an African-based telecom network that hopes to connect billions of people to the financial sector through blockchain. Here is what we know so far:
The move is expected to bring more users to the Astrswap ecosystem.
The partnership will begin rolling out in East Africa before going global.
At press time, Astroswap (ASTRO) was trading at $0.007762.
Data Source: Coinmarketcap
Astroswap (ASTRO) – What the partnership means?
The future of Astroswap (ASTRO) has always been bright. The platform is striving to become the most versatile and dominant decentralized exchange on Cardano. The goal is to increase the number of tradable assets on its platform but more so, Astroswap (ASTRO) is hoping to expand its reach and bring in more users.
The partnership with World Mobile is a game-changer for two reasons. First, it will target the African and Middle East regions where access to financial services and crypto investing remains low. The bump in price that we saw shortly after the news was announced is a clear indication that investors are seeing this as hugely positive.
Astroswap (ASTRO) has also been investing in cross-chain support and just recently, it announced integrations with the Velas blockchain. All these factors will be crucial in pushing Astroswap (ASTRO) even further. At the time of writing this post, Astroswap (ASTRO) was trading at $0.007762.
Should you consider Astroswap (ASTRO)?
Astroswap (ASTRO is a fairly small project right now but it has been making all the right moves. It's a microcap DEX with a market cap of around $3 million.
Although most DEXs do not often hit billions of dollars in valuations, there is enough upside for ASTRO to grow 20x or even 50x. The fact that it already offers cross-chain support between Velas and Cardano shows how serious the project is.
The post Astroswap (ASTRO) gains nearly 7% after announcing a new partnership with World Mobile appeared first on Coin Journal.


'Matthew Alexander' on Democracy Now!
"Matthew Alexander" (11 minutes into this Democracy Now! episode) was a US military interrogator who relied on the ethics he learned growing up as a normal human being to teach him that torture is an ineffective tool for gathering information.
This isn't brain surgery, people! He used that "torture is wrong" insight to lead his team to locate the head of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, who was subsequently killed. Yes, I realize it is strange to celebrate the lack of torture so you can then kill someone else.
He is no longer in the military and had to sue the Pentagon to get his book published. Alexander argues that torture is quite effective at pushing potential enemies over the edge, turning them into sworn enemies and murderous extremists. Well done, sir. If only people like you were running the military.
Well, based on the comments I'm getting here and over on the YouTube channel, it is clear that a lot of people don't really understand why freedom of the press is important and why cops should think before they arrest everyone in sight.
Back by popular demand, Amy Goodman explains (shortly after being let out of jail) why we need the checks and balances of a free press in our society. Those of you that were dozing during high school civics class or are too far removed to remember this, please pay attention.
Note: the producers mentioned in this video have since been released from jail thanks to Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN).

I figured out a long time ago that if I don't take care of myself first, then I am not the best mom.wife.sister.daughter.teacher......that I can be. The better I feel about myself, the greater good I can put out into the world. It took me awhile to not feel guilty about taking time to take care of me, that mom guilt is something fierce, but once I realized that I'm worth it- I have had no problem taking care of me.
1- Skin care. In October I switched to Éminence products after a fantastic facial at Polished in yxe. My skin has been clear ever since and I am loving them. While they're expensive products to buy in store, Candace shared with me that they are cheaper through beautysense.ca. Some of my faves is the Eucalyptus Cleanser, the Dermafoliant, the Recovery Oil and the Licorice Peel.
2- Alone time. I need time outs often in order to take a breather and recentre. They make me happy again.
3- Gym time. I've been going to Orange Theory for over a year at least one or two times a week. I would really like to up that and go more- I feel awesome after a workout there.
4- Dermaplaning. Ever heard of it? This is my new favourite facial. I go every 2 months at Prairie Bliss in yxe and Shawna makes me skin feel silky smooth again. I find that with getting older, I am getting more and more peach fuzz- hag hair? and it feels great to get rid of it.
5- False Lashes- why is it that now that I've hd them, I can't handle not having them? Yes, I realize I have become high maintenance but it is seriously wonderful waking up and not having to put makeup on.
6- Hair Extensions- this is new to me. Kyla and I had been talking about wanting to get them done and finally I decided to do it. I miss having long hair and was getting impatient waiting for it to grow. I love them so far! Weirdly- in this picture, my hair is actually the same colour, the extensions are ombré...so it makes my hair look lighter ? Or maybe it's just the lighting. Whatever. I like them.
7- Phone Volume Off: More and more it is becoming important to me that I'm not Pavlovian programmed to answer my phone the minute it beeps.
8- Productivity: Give me a to-do list and some 90s Gangsta music anyday and I will getshitdone. That makes me smile.
9- Time with my friends: Easy-peasy pick me up. Whether it's my ladies here in the city or my blogger friends around the country; I love the women in my life and they pick me up no matter what.
10- Mall walk with sister: Enough said.
11- Microblading- another fun thing that I got done last year after I saw Alison's brows is microblading. I have been going to Bloom Studio and love love love Joleen's work. My brows were practically transparent before I had this done.
Alright, 11 of my favourite things to do to make me feel great....now tell me, what are yours? Linking up with the Blended Blog ladies today for our Self-Care Share.

Dot native chronicles female graffiti artists
By Tayla Holman, Reporter Correspondent
Tayla Holman, Reporter Correspondent
Jessica Pabón studies and writes about female graffiti artists across the country.
Jessica Pabón is obsessed: She has spent the last 11 years studying and writing about female graffiti artists.
Her interest in the topic began with her thesis while she was studying at the University of Arizona, and has since morphed into her dissertation – "The Art of Getting Ovaries: Female Graffiti Artists and the Politics of Presence in Graffiti Subculture."
As a 17-year-old freshman, Pabón was required to visit the women's research center as part of a class assignment. There she learned about the contributions that women have made throughout history – and about how often those contributions went unacknowledged.
"It was like I had been blinded," Pabón said in a recent interview. "I don't remember ever learning much about what women did. Once I learned that they did stuff, and learned how institutionalized that lack of knowledge was, I said 'enough.' "
From there, Pabón, now 33 and a PhD candidate in the Performance Studies Department at New York University, set a personal goal to enhance recognition of the accomplishments made by women in a subculture in which they largely have been marginalized. "Women have been erased, and I've made it my job to make sure those stories get told," she said.
Using the example of an artist named Ren One, whose work some people claimed was done by her boyfriend, Pabón acknowledged how difficult it is for females to be taken seriously in the world of graffiti. "All of these women have to undergo the same kind of oppressive situation in order to excel as artists," Pabón said.
Over the years, Pabón has interacted with some 85 female graffiti artists. While each has her own motivation for why she does what she does, it's the rush that drives these women to risk life and limb for the pursuit of art.
"It's adrenaline and the self-satisfaction, knowing that you've gotten away with it and transgressed all of these conventions," Pabón said. "It takes a lot of mental and physical risk taking."
Of course, the women who turn to graffiti writing are well aware that they are breaking the law, straddling a fine line between being a citizen and being a vandal. But many have been doing it for so long that the rush outweighs the risks.
"By the time you've been doing it for 15 years, you can't stop. It becomes part of their everyday lives," Pabón said. Not only that, but the women are often out late at night or in inclement weather.
"Most of the time, while the rest of the world is sleeping, these women are out painting. It's less risky that way," Pabón said. "Some of them were out during Hurricane Sandy because there were less people on the street. They even go out in snowstorms."
Too, there is often a cultural difference between female graffiti artists in the United States and artists in other countries.
"When I went to Chile and Brazil, these girls paint during the day," Pabón said. "Large colorful productions. When you live in Rio, there are bigger problems in that city. The administrators don't spend millions of dollars trying to clean it up." Pabón said that she once saw someone ask one of the women she was interviewing to do graffiti on the side of their house.
Some of the women Pabón has dealt with have turned their graffiti experience into other ventures. "Most have somehow flipped what they've learned through graffiti into a business," she said. "These are women who were constantly drawing as kids, always creating something. Their parents put them in a painting class, and maybe they went to school for graphic design, or ended up doing advertising campaigns for major corporations."
Pabón, who is not a graffiti artist herself, recently spoke at TedxWomen about her work. Tedx talks are independently organized events, but they also typically focus on a local community.
"When you're an academic and you spend your life behind a computer or your nose in book, you don't expect people to care about what you're writing about and the people you're writing about," Pabón said. "I felt kind of special and it was kind of weird. I don't consider myself a fancy person and I feel like people who do Ted talks are fancy people. But it was a really humbling experience, to say the least, and it was really fun."
Pabón said that one of the benefits of the Ted talk was being able to share her work with the women she has interviewed over the years. "It was nice to be able to send the women in my research a link," Pabón said. "Some of them are waiting and asking when the book is coming out. It was nice to give them something immediate that they could show their people and put on the web and livestream to 15,000 people."
While Pabón will be defending her dissertation this spring – and is having "some kind of weird postpartum thing" now that the project is finally coming to an end -- she isn't done writing about women and their roles in subcultures. Her next project will be about human beatboxing, which is decidedly different from graffiti because it moves from visual to audio aspects. Pabón said she also has another project about being light-skinned and Latino, which is partly inspired by her experience of being Puerto Rican and growing up in Dorchester, largely in the Lower Mills area.
Ultimately, however, she is hoping to become a university professor so that she can provide others with the opportunities she has been given.


What Industry Articles & Experts Say About Telecom Billing Problems and Cost Control.
"Gartner analyst Eric Goodness says that from what he's observed, '12 percent to 20 percent of telecom charges are in error, and 85 percent of the errors are in the carrier's favor."
"One CTO summed it up this way: "There are no telecommunications vendors today that are doing a great job; they all need to be closely managed. Operational performance leaves much to be desired, and billing performance is even worse."
But telecom industry guru Don Carros, Senior Research Analyst – Global Networking Strategies, likened customers negotiating directly with carriers as "lambs to the slaughter" because of the substantial advantages carriers possesses in knowledge and tactics. Negotiating is an art and requires deep expertise to maximize outcomes for both price and terms. And the carriers unfortunately have more than you do when it comes to driving contract terms.
Companies spend anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 per year per employee on local, long distance, cellular, and data communications, and enterprise telecom expenditures are, by most accounts still growing.
"'If I were to hire [my own] people to go through the bills, it would have cost a fortune,' says Robert Urwiler, Peregrine's CIO. 'It was a no-brainer.'"


Nate Parker and his wife welcomed their fourth child recently but Black Twitter was focused on his wife's whiteness instead of the couple's new bundle of joy.
The director and star of the upcoming Birth of a Nation told E! News Thursday he and DiSanto welcomed a daughter named Justice into the family. No other details were given, but the child is the fourth in a line of three other young girls.
But Twitter paid no attention to the news other than those who learned Parker is married to a white woman. Parker married Sarah DiSanto in 2007.
Many were upset about his spouse's race, who was the 36-year-old's college sweetheart. The pair met while attending Penn State.
The revelation made Conor feel conflicted about seeing Parker's upcoming period drama, which follows Nat Turner leading enslaved Africans in a revolt for freedom.
At least one person thought DiSanto wasn't white, but a light-skinned Black woman.
I'm dumb. This whole time I thought Nate Parker's wife was just light-skinned ?
Meira-Morenike used a photo to describe her disturbed reaction.
But others thought there was no reason for the upset.
@DarlingEbony pointed out Ben Carson among other public figures who are married to Black women and don't support the Black community.
Ppl r seriously upset Nate Parker has white wife? Meanwhile, Ben Carson, Allen West, Herman Cain have black wives & mean Blacks no good.
She also mentioned the couple's children could grow up to be as socially aware as Jesse Williams, who gave a poignant speech about being Black in America at the BET Awards this June.
Y'all know nothing abt Nate Parker or his wife. 30 years from now, one of their children could deliver a @iJesseWilliams speech. DUMB!
@RuthOhanu found it irritating that others seemed to question his activism after learning who is wife is.
Ppl are really pressed that Nate Parker's wife is white as if this invalidates all of his work and activism. Y'all are annoying.
@FearlessBellaxx said Nate Parker's support for the Black community, which included a donation for an HBCU's film school, is still valid regardless.
Wait wait, y'all mad because Nate Parker's wife is white???? Everything he's done for the black community is STILL valid.

Differential Equations for Rocket Launch in Polar Coordinates
I'm trying to understand the equations of motion for a rocket launched from earth, through the atmosphere, and into LEO. I found a set of ordinary differential equations which describe the motion of the rocket (see this reference, slide 3). Below is a diagram of which should help to describe the variables in the equation:
The differential equations are:
$$\dot{v}=-\frac{ksin(\gamma)}{r^2}-\frac{D}{m}+\frac{Tcos(\phi_T)}{m}$$ $$\dot{\gamma}=-\frac{kcos(\gamma)}{vr^2}+\frac{L}{mv}+\frac{Tsin(\phi_T)}{mv}+\frac{vcos(\gamma)}{r}$$ $$\dot{\nu}=v\frac{cos(\gamma)}{r}$$ $$\dot{r}=vsin(\gamma)$$ $$\dot{m}=-T/I_{sp}$$
I recognize the first equation as the equation for linear acceleration, where I think $k=\mu=GM$ is the gravitational constant times the mass of earth (please correct me if I'm wrong). I don't know what the second equation represents or how it was obtained. Can anyone give me some insight into how this equation is derived? Is it the statement of the conservation of some forces? If so, what forces in particular?
I'm not even entirely sure that this is the proper form of the dynamic model for the rocket's trajectory. I tried cross-validating this model with other models to see if this is correct. In this process, I found an answer on another stack exchange question which almost describes the same equation, but with an additional $\frac{v}{r}$ term in the $\dot{\gamma}$ equation. If I were to add this term to the $\dot{\gamma}$ equation, what would it mean? What force does it describe?
Also, I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding the notation, since the variables are not explicitly defined anywhere in the document. I think the D and L represent drag and lift forces. If so, I'm not sure why lift forces are not included in the $\dot{v}$ equation or why they appear only in the $\dot{\gamma}$ equation. The term T seems to represent the thrust of the rocket, which acts at an angle $\phi_T$ from the normal direction to the surface of the (perfectly circular) earth. The angle $\gamma$ seems to be the angle from the velocity vector to the local horizon. Have I correctly summarized these variables?
Any help understanding this equation would be greatly appreciated.
launch orbital-mechanics trajectory
$\begingroup$ The v˙ equation is dealing only with forces that act along the direction of the instantaneous velocity vector, that is why L is not included. The γ˙equation deals only with forces that act perpendicular to the instantaneous velocity vector, that is why D is not included. I think ϕT is not what you describe, but instead is the angle between the thrust vector and the instantaneous velocity vector. Set up your frame of reference in regards to the velocity vector and this will make more sense to you. $\endgroup$ – Organic Marble Sep 8 '17 at 2:03
$\begingroup$ @OrganicMarble: If $\phi_T=0$, then the thrust contributes only in the direction of the velocity vector, so what you say makes a lot of sense! The lift vector is, by definition, orthogonal to the direction of drag, so that makes sense too. Still, this would suggest that the acceleration in the direction normal to the velocity is somehow characterized by $mv\dot{\gamma}$. What would this term represent? Some sort of angular acceleration? $\endgroup$ – Paul Sep 8 '17 at 3:33
$\begingroup$ @Paul $\dot{\gamma}$ is the speed with which the velocity's direction changes. It is equal to $a_\bot/v$, where $a_\bot$ is the (linear) acceleration in the direction perpendicular to the velocity, so $mv\dot{\gamma} = ma_\bot$ is the component of the total force perpendicular to the velocity. $\endgroup$ – Litho Sep 8 '17 at 8:32
$\begingroup$ @Paul By the way, you forgot to divide the first term in the second formula by $v$. This $v$ is there in the reference you linked. You also skipped the term $v\cos(\gamma)/r$, which describes the change in the angle between the velocity and the horizontal direction due to the change of the horizontal direction. $\endgroup$ – Litho Sep 8 '17 at 8:46
$\begingroup$ @litho: Thanks! I corrected those two terms. I'm curious though... If $vcos(\gamma)/r$ describes the change in angle due to normal forces, shouldn't the first equation have a term of $v^2sin(\gamma)/r$ To describe a similar force in the direction parallel to the velocity vector? $\endgroup$ – Paul Sep 8 '17 at 13:01

Quantum Computing makes my ears bleed. I can understand a lot of the micro (individual parts of the issue), but when it comes to the macro (and putting it together), there's still gaps. MIT has a pretty good mile-high primer that explains a few of the parts. But the more you get into each one, the more there is to know. For now, you just have to accept and pretend it works by magic, because there's too much stuff that doesn't make sense.

Gerrard's possible departure leaves Rodgers with serious problems
By James Gutteridge
James Gutteridge
GerrardLFCPremier LeagueSportfootballliverpool
With Steven Gerrard admitting that he could extend his career with a team other than Liverpool it seems like we could finally be witnessing the end of the one-club-man.
Over the past twenty five years Gerrard has become as much a part of Liverpool Football Club as their legendary Anfield stadium and his loss would surely be felt just as keenly by fans of the club. Should Liverpool choose not to renew Gerrard's contract he would certainly be a loss for his, not inconsiderable, footballing talent but perhaps more so for the inspirational leadership he has provided both on and off the pitch for so long.
Footballing ramifications aside, both in regard to Gerrard's footballing talent and leadership skills, there is the question of whether allowing one of the club's greatest servants to merely slip away could deal a hammer blow to Rodgers' relationship with Liverpool fans.
Already under fire for selecting an under strength team against Real Madrid in the Champions League, in the eyes of some tarnishing Liverpool's European reputation and tradition, and for a poor showing so far in the Premier League, Rodgers may wish to keep Gerrard on board as part of a short-term strategy to placate some of his more vocal detractors.
So far this season Brendan Rodgers' side have looked devoid of exactly the kind of on-field leadership Gerrard has given his team for so many years.
This is sure to colour Rodgers' decision whether or not to renew Gerrard's contract with no obvious candidate amongst the current Liverpool squad to step up to the plate; Gerrard has to be, at the very least,one of the first considerations for Rodgers.
This will be the first thing on Rodgers' mind if he is forced to look for a replacement for Liverpool's inspirational captain.
Another worry for Rodgers will be replacing Gerrard in a playing context. Having dramatically altered the position Gerrard plays in order to find a place for the ageing midfielder in his evolving team, Rodgers still faces the problem of replacing the rampaging attacking performances that made Gerrard a mainstay of Liverpool teams for the past two decades.
Fortunately for Rodgers and Liverpool, the emergence of Jordan Henderson as a truly top class Premiership player appears to have plugged this particular gap in the side.
Whilst initially maligned as an expensive flop, Henderson has grown into his role in the Liverpool team and his performances have earned him a place in the England national side with the estimated £16 million price tag paid to Sunderland in 2011 now looking like a sound investment.
Henderson has also recently been awarded the vice-captaincy at Liverpool at the relatively young age of 24, perhaps signalling Rodgers' intent to mould him into Gerrard's natural successor.
The prospect of replacing Gerrard's attacking contribution has also been eased by the meteoric rise of attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling. The 19 year old lit up the Premiership with a series of scintillating displays for Liverpool last season and was rewarded with a regular playing spot in Roy Hodgson's England side.
Despite playing alongside inter- national stars such as controversial maverick Luis Suarez, Sterling was one of the leading lights in a Liverpool team that came agonisingly close to a first Premiership title.
However, Sterling was not the only rising star in amongst Liverpool's rich supply of midfield talent. Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho showed his class throughout the season, demonstrating the kind of flair, invention and incisive passing that led Liverpool to pay a reported £8.5 million for his services.
Coutinho's continued development could replace the kind of majestic passing Gerrard has so long provided from central midfield and that has been so crucial to Liverpool's successes throughout the last twenty years.
The solution to the Gerrard dilemma is not an easy for one for Brendan Rodgers. A one-club player like Gerrard is a rarity in the modern day, a player of Gerrard's world class ability even rarer.
Steven Gerrard is not a man who can be replaced overnight, but the emerging crop of young, talented players at Liverpool should provide hope to the club's fans and to their beleaguered manager that even should Gerrard leave the club there is a bright future to look forward to.

Members of Parliament announce coalition of Funk - George Clinton and guests to play HMV Forum, June 2011
Photo: Jenny Risher link
Describing George Clinton as a colourful character only serves to lump him in with Elton John and Ruby Wax - he's far more unique than that, quite frankly. A true innovator of '70s funk, soul and his own brand of P-Funk, Clinton's influence has rubbed off on just about every key hip-hop act in the past thirty years, not least for sampling his back-catalogue (but probably not his wild and crazy hair-adornments).
The legendary funkmeister will be making a return to the UK in the summer - Clinton has lined up a show at the HMV Forum on 18th June, the prospect of which will surely promote a sell-out pretty quickly. Tickets are now on sale, priced at £32.50.
His work with Parliament and Funkadelic (alongside Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Maceo Parker et al) has been well-documented - "One Nation Under a Groove", "Bop Gun", "(Not Just) Knee Deep" and "Tear The Roof Off The Sucker" all came from the same stable, as well as his solo work and collaborative contributions along the way. Listen to Outkast or 2Pac if you don't believe me... or even Prince. Just don't expect drippy-ballads - this is the funk and Mr Clinton and co will be serving it up, slice after funky slice.

Amazon has announced former NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke as the new head of its TV and film studios. Since Roy Price stepped down from the position last fall amid sexual harassment allegations, Amazon Studios COO Albert Cheng served as the interim head while the search for a permanent replacement drew several candidates, including A+E Networks' Nancy Dubuc, YouTube's Susanne Daniels, and Sony's Amy Pascal.
Salke is taking over at an interesting time for Amazon Studios, as Jeff Bezos is cracking down on his vision for bigger, more Game of Thrones-like content.

Apparently red LEDs are 60% more efficient than fluorescent light when growing vegetables hydroponically.
According to IEEE Spectrum Online: Of all the colors of the rainbow, red is lettuce's favorite. Chlorophyll, the electrochemical engine of photosynthesis, runs on red photons. So if you are growing the vegetable indoors in a factory, why waste energy on colors you don't need?
Using a red LED-based growth process developed by Cosmo Plant Co., in Fukuroi, Japan, instead of a fluorescent lighting based one, cuts a factory's electric bill by 60 percent, the company told Agence France Press.
Cosmo's customers uses the technology to produce 7000 heads of lettuce per day all year round in a 10-floor building on just 1000 square meters of space. The lettuce matures more than three times as fast under the LEDs than outdoors. While growing lettuce in an open field is still less costly, growing it inside under LEDs means you don't have to worry about crop-decimating typhoons and other nasty weather.

Dušman Nemanjić ( 1308-1314/1321) fue un príncipe serbio e hijo del rey Esteban Dečanski, quien junto con su padre fue exiliado a Constantinopla en 1314. A menudo se lo identificaba con su hermano Esteban Dušan debido a la mención de la forma diminuta «Dušica» en lugar del nombre del futuro emperador serbio por el arzobispo Danilo II de Serbia.

Biografía

Nombre
La historiografía más antigua, refiriéndose a las palabras del arzobispo Danilo II de Serbia, es decir, su sucesor que insertó la rebelión de Esteban Dečanski en las Vidas del rey Esteban Milutin, consideró que Dušman era el hijo menor de Dečanski llamado «Dušica». Sin embargo, las ediciones más antiguas de la antología de Danilo mencionan «Dušman y Dušica». Encontramos tal denominación de los hijos de Dečanski en todas las genealogías y crónicas. Dejan Ječmenica aclaró que «Dušica» es de hecho un diminutivo de Esteban Dušan, el hijo menor de Dečanski que sería coronado rey de Serbia en 1331 y emperador de Serbia en 1346. Dušman, quien siempre fue mencionado antes que Dušan, era el hermano mayor.

Orígenes

Dušman era el hijo del rey serbio Esteban Dečanski y Teodora Smilets de Bulgaria. Por lo general, se supone que Teodora se casó con Dečanski alrededor de 1306. El arzobispo Danilo describe el matrimonio de su padre poco antes de que Milutin le asignara la región Zeta para que la administrara. Como hoy, gracias a la carta del rey Milutin a la abadía de Ratac, se sabe que Dečanski llegó a la administración en Zeta en marzo de 1306, el nacimiento de Dušman debe ubicarse en el período poco después de este evento, y ciertamente antes de 1308, cuando se considera que nació Dušan. Además, Dušman y Dušan estaban en su «segunda juventud» cuando fueron exiliados a Constantinopla. Estos años incluyen edades entre cinco y catorce años, lo que confirma que Dušman nació entre 1306 y 1308.

Exilio en Constantinopla

Dušman, junto con su padre y su hermano, fue exiliado a Constantinopla después de la fallida rebelión de su padre contra su abuelo. Según Radoslav Grujić, Teodora se quedó en Serbia. Dečanski fue alentado a rebelarse por los nobles de Zeta. Se supone que el motivo de la rebelión era la renovación de la disposición del acuerdo de Deževa de que Milutin debería ser sucedido por Vladislav, el hijo de su hermano Dragutin, lo que hizo que Dečanski se retirara como posible heredero del trono serbio. Después de la rebelión fallida, Dečanski fue cegado y exiliado a Constantinopla, con el yerno de Milutin, Andrónico II Paleólogo, según el arzobispo Danilo y Gregorio Tsamblak. Tsamblak escribió que Dečanski se quedó en el monasterio de Pantocrátor. Los biógrafos no dejaron más datos sobre la estancia de los hijos de Dečanski en Constantinopla. .

Muerte

Esteban Dečanski regresó a Serbia con un hijo, Dušan, a quien Milutin mantuvo como rehén después de darle a su hijo la administración de la región de Budimlja. El hijo mayor, Dušman, murió en Constantinopla. Guillaume Adam, el arzobispo de Bar, que en 1332 compiló un documento dedicado a la idea de cruzada del rey francés, por lo demás era un fuerte opositor de la Casa de Nemanjić, nos cuenta la historia de cómo Esteban Dečanski mató a su propio hijo después de encontrar que su padre no estaba completamente ciego. Sin embargo, no se puede confiar plenamente en el testimonio de Guillaume Adam, y la declaración sobre la muerte de Dušman también debe cuestionarse.

War and Pain is the debut album from Canadian thrash metal/progressive metal band Voivod, which was released on August 10, 1984 through Metal Blade Records.
According to a 1986 TV interview with the band, it sold over 40,000 copies within 2 years of its release, but the band only got paid $1,000, accordingly to the contract they had signed with Metal Blade.
War and Pain was reissued several times on the CD format (sometimes on different labels in other countries): in 1990 on Enigma or Roadracer Records; remastered by Metal Blade and reissued in 1994; it was also released in Roadracer's Pricekillers series (also 1990); and again by Metal Blade in 2004 as a remastered 3-CD boxset (see the 20th Anniversary Edition section for the bonus material).

While the modern world has its perks, there is little doubt in the fact that it is also incredibly fast paced. There is so much to do in such little time, especially if you are in a field as competitive as business or the marketing industry. There is no limit to the innovation that can be achieved using modern technology and it takes real effort and investment in terms of time and resources to ensure that you remain on top of your competition by developing stronger relationships with your customer base or target audience.
One of the ways through which businesses try to interact with their audiences and give them more content is eBooks. eBooks and white papers have become somewhat of a necessity when it comes to building lists, attracting leads, marketing services and products, and selling content to customers. But with so many of them out there, to make sure that your customers will be willing to buy your eBook or give it a read is to make sure that yours stands out in the crowd. A dull and boring looking eBook will not engage your customers and will likely be a waste of time and resources. Besides, who has the time to create an entire eBook from scratch anyway, unless you are willing to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars a year over freelance developers and content writers?
But no need to fret, as Sqribble is here to solve all your eBook problems.
Upon purchasing and launching Sqribble (which, by the way, you do not have to download as it operates on the cloud), you begin by choosing from 50 or so professional templates that have been designed by skilled designers and developers. You can select the template best suited for business by opting for the correct niche from the 15 categories that Sqribble offers or by searching using a keyword.
After selecting your template, you have to fill it with content. If you are not someone who loves to write or wants to spend hundreds of dollars on a freelance writer, Sqribble offers to automatically fill the content for you. You simply need to enter a URL or upload your own document from which Sqribble will automatically extract content. You can also fill it up manually if you are feeling creative.
Sqribble also automatically generates a table of contents, headers and footers, and page numbers for you so you don't have to worry about formatting the entire document. If you do want to edit it, however, you can change it around or do it manually as well.
If you want, you can also customize the various features of the eBook by changing the color scheme, adding pictures, picking content from the in site content resource bank, adding or deleting text boxes and what not, so that the eBook is tailored down to exactly what you desire.
After you are done adding all of the elements, you can simply hit the generate button to generate your automatic eBook and then click publish to put it out on the internet for instant exposure. Voila: you have made a professional eBook with minimal effort and headache in a matter of minutes!

EU failing to comply with my demands 'a misunderstanding', claims Prime Minister
Started 4 months ago by Midfield Diamond
Latest reply from MzWibble
Midfield Diamond
Prime Minister Theresa May has explained that the EU taking absolutely no notice of her whatsoever was a 'misunderstanding'. In a bizarre scene towards the end of the latest long, hard-fought negotiation, the EU appeared to defy Mrs May's attempt to demonstrate who was the boss, and refused to succumb to her demands. May was visibly furious, storming around and throwing water bottles after failing to get her own way. However, the incident has now been dismissed as 'confusion'.
'I misunderstood the problem and thought that the EU had become weakened and weary, but I fully realised the situation when I was told that was not the case', explained the Prime Minister.
Pundits have been critical of the EU, describing the behaviour as a painful public indignity for the Prime Minister which showed a clear lack of respect for Mrs May. One described the situation as a direct affront to her authority.
The Prime Minister had been under increasing pressure following a series of damaging defeats but, despite the unfortunate 'misunderstanding', it was considered that she performed much better in the most recent round of negotiations. 'I am very happy that we are improving and have improved a lot,' she said, despite the latest defeat, 4-3 on penalties.

Whole lotta misunderstanding going on.
