Don't use 3D Invig very often but I was wanting to create some simple shapes and map a movie to the face of them. I can apply a.psd easily, is there any way to apply a movie file?
To map a movie to your 3D Invigorator objects, you will have to use the "Layer Map" feature.
To do this, first import your movie into After Effects. Then, drag the movie clip onto your timeline, and hide the layer. Select the layer that you have 3D Invigorator applied to, then in the Effect Controls panel, find Layer Maps, and select the movie clip for Layer Map 1.
To create a material with the Layer Map, click the little red ball to enter the 3D Invigorator interface. Then go to the Materials tab, and next to the texture map grey box, you will see a pulldown menu with a "-". Click on the pulldown menu, and you will be able to designate the layer map to the material. Now you can apply your material to your object. When using a layer map, you won't be able to see what the movie looks like in the 3D Invigorator interface. However, once you go back to the After Effects composition, you will be able to see the movie applied to your object.
Is there anyway to rotate the movie? I have a movie I mapped onto the side of my object, and the motion of the movie was going across the side, I want it to go down the side. So, I rotated the movie in AE and re-rendered it and brought that new movie back in and applied the new movie to the layer map, but it is still going in the same direction, across the side? Any suggestions?


The chances of England storming the Brisbane fortress diminished to almost zero as the Reverend kept the assembled throng entranced on a sunny Sunday evening. David Warner held sway and the Gabba congregation applauded every stroke, not so much with an Alleluia as a "C'mon Aussie, C'Mon". He was guiding his flock home in some style.
Australia, having bowled England out for 195, required 170 to win the first Test and preserve their remarkable record in Brisbane. By the close Warner had led the way alongside a fresh and willing disciple, Cameron Bancroft.
At the close Australia were 114-0, with Warner on 60, Bancroft 51 and the retiring curator, Kevin Mitchell, could sleep easily. His remarkable record was intact. As Warner could no doubt confirm Australia have not lost at the Gabba since Robert Runcie was the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The English bowlers lacked the pace or zip of their Australian counterparts as the sun beat down on a blameless strip of turf. Suddenly batting was a breeze. In part this was because the tourists had not had much respite since leaving the field on Saturday evening. Moreover they lack the pace that can overcome a true surface.
After biding their time against the new ball and England's old guard Warner in particular expanded his repertoire. Neither Chris Woakes nor Jake Ball could make an impression as Warner skipped around the crease and it was not long before Joe Root replaced Moeen Ali, who has struggled here partly because of a lack of bowling but also due to a cut on his spinning finger, an injury that can obviously be a major impediment. Bancroft cruised along impressively in Warner's wake. Barring thunderstorms of biblical proportions the game was up. England had been unable to score enough runs.
There were moments of hope but no expectation throughout their innings. Little partnerships were formed but they could never flourish. The Australians, even though their pace attack was not quite so ferocious as on Saturday night, were on their game.
Root was required to undergo another concussion test before resuming his innings and he showed no ill effects from Saturday's blow to the helmet. A crisp cover drive for four off Mitchell Starc confirmed that all was well. He was able to score quicker than most – because he is better than most – usually square of the wicket and it only took 35 minutes for Steve Smith to call up Nathan Lyon.
At the other end Mark Stoneman had dealt with the pacemen with aplomb but this proved to be a morning when Australia's off-spinner would torment two of England's left-handers. Lyon now bowls quickly for a finger spinner and when the ball is gripping that makes him ever more dangerous. He becalmed Stoneman and then found his outside edge from a forward defensive stroke. Within six overs Dawid Malan was dismissed in identical fashion.
Lyon relishes the left-handedness of England's line-up. When his confidence is high – as it is now – he offers no freebies. The only way one could imagine Stoneman and Malan scoring off him was from the occasional square cut. Of Lyon's five wickets in this Test four have been left-handers. Root played him far more easily conjuring singles without much trouble. England, like Australia, lean too heavily upon their captain for their runs. Root had hit 51, which was never enough, when he was dismissed in similar fashion to the first innings. Josh Hazlewood slanted a full-length delivery inwards and the ball thudded into Root's left pad as he aimed to hit it wide of mid-on. There is a chink here.
After lunch there was another tantalizing partnership for English supporters. Moeen Ali was determined to be proactive against Lyon and he took two fours in an over with a lofted drive and a firm sweep; Jonny Bairstow skipped down the pitch and hit the off-spinner for six over mid-wicket. At last Lyon was being challenged and oddly enough he was no longer as pinpoint accurate.
Then came the excruciating dismissal – for those in the English camp – of Moeen. The ball beat his outside edge as he pushed forward to Lyon and Tim Paine whipped off the bails. Then the replays from every conceivable angle began. Was any part of Moeen's boot behind one of the thickest, though perhaps not the straightest, of white lines ever painted on a cricket pitch? Umpire Chris Gaffaney eventually concluded that the answer was "No".
So Moeen's cameo was ended; so too were England chances of setting Australia a taxing target.
There was one other small partnership between Woakes and Bairstow that at least allowed the English supporters to dream as the score crept up to 185-6. But England would only muster another 10 runs. Starc produced another well-directed short ball, which Woakes could only fend into the slip cordon; Bairstow, no doubt scenting that he was running out of partners, tried an upper cut but only sent the ball straight into the hands of Peter Handscomb, who had been stationed at third man for just such a shot.
Broad was bemused to be caught behind after a review and Ball received a succession of bouncers – in another age the umpires might have intervened – the last of which flew from his bat handle to Handscomb loitering conveniently behind the keeper. As in 2013-14 it is hard to imagine England's tail ever wagging against such a barrage.


In time for International Women's Day, Nike and W+K Amsterdam have revealed three new ad films on the brand's global women's YouTube channel. Each film highlights specific local social issues – in Russia, the Middle East & Turkey – that have been holding back girls from getting into sport.
The spot for Russia challenges archaic notions of girls being interested in flowers, gossip and marmalade. It starts with a little girl singing a traditional folk song that perpetuates these stereotypes, but as the spot progresses the singer alters the lyrics to celebrate the strength, power and athleticism of some of Russia's female athletes.
The film for the Middle East features five accomplished female athletes who have had to fight against criticism from society and people asking 'What will they say about you?' in order to practice the sport of their choice.
The Turkish spot also celebrates prominent female figures from the world of fitness and sport, and urges women to push against stereotypes and limitations society places on them.
The message is a universal one; today's children, particularly girls, must not be held back from leading an active lifestyle by societal, physical or cultural barriers. These films were released in their respective local markets last month, but subtitled versions have been released globally earlier this week.

Hi! This is Megan, from Idaho. I found your blog a week or two ago and have been hooked ever since! Your tutorials are heavenly, and I've already made your bandana skirt and a pinwheel quilt top. (Finished that last one last night. I absolutely love your Shangri La pinwheel.) Thank you for sharing!!!
Anyway, I too was without a husband, but just for 12 weeks over the summer. He wasmany states away doing an internship. I felt like you, wanting to stay so very busy so I didn't have to think about or feel that he was gone. Wish I had a sewing machine back then!(Our third child was even born while he was gone!) I can only imagine how trying this has been for you and your family, but I say Way To Go! You did it!!! You're at the END!!! Thanks for inspiring us all and showing us how you made it through!
P.S. I've been trying to figure out how to fix my blog header (pretty writing where I want it, picture cropped how I want it, etc. etc.) and I can't figure it out. Yours looks so nice! So, if you are looking for another tutorial (although it's not a sewing one) I'd LOVE to figure out how to do this!
Love this quilt--simple but fabulous! Thanks for letting me visit!

Book Notes: The Subprimes by Karl Taro Greenfield

The Subprimes by Karl Taro Greenfield
A dystopian satire, written a few years ago, whose closeness to (as well as divergence from) the world we are currently in makes it even more unsettling.
The Subprimes of the title are people whose credit scores are sub-prime (and folks with not that long memories will recall the use of this term in the finance market to describe the volatile loans that led us to the 2008 crash). In 21st century America, they are social pariahs, as every aspect of citizenship and daily life are governed by credit scores (housing, employment, education). Those whose scores are too low are forced into vagrancy, setting up temporary camps called Ryanvilles (named after former House Speaker, weightlifting enthusiast, and champion of government deregulation Paul Ryan). The book intertwines a number of storylines, including several Subprime families, a washed-up reporter whose son is enrolled in an increasingly regimented and privatized school system, the wife of a energy stock trader under inditement for securities fraud, and a mysterious woman of color who tries to build political and social alternatives to all of this.
Along the way there are hard-right evangelical megachurch pastor/politicians, ultra-wealthy energy families manipulating politics towards their own ends, environmental castastrophe (the book opens with Whales beaching themselves en masse, and periodically references unending prairie wildfires), double-speak regressive politics (e.g. "the Clear Skies Act" which mandates environmental deregulation), economic exploitation of marginalized people, and the militarization of everyday life.
The Subprimes highlights the danger and disorientation of our world with both incisive humor and abject terror. The book opens with a depressing depiction of a Ryanville that is later destroyed by a police raid, in a passage both horrifying and enraging. There are also some wonderful puns and wordplay to be found throughout--the wealthy sisters who own most of America's energy concerns are named the "Peppers", presumably in references to the Koch (Coke) brothers.
This is a satire, which means its about ideas and abstractions, not characters and emotions. Most of the characters are pretty one-dimensional--the philandering stock-trader husband is astonishingly simple-minded for someone who scammed hundreds of people. Likewise, the mysterious revolutionary Sargham is almost literally divine, and the ending of the book casts a miraculous shadow over her political beliefs and hard organizing work. There were passages and sections that I found to be pretty abyssmally written, and that let go of subtlety in favor of a rhetorical beating.
And the end of the book is somewhat upbeat, but in a way that felt literally miraculous and belies the complicated ecological, economic, and political problems that it outlined. It initially feels good to see powerless people stand up to the powerful, but offered little beyond that good feeling as to whether such a stand would be ultimately succesful in any other narrative or historical moment.
All together, this was a harrowing read, given our current circumstances. It was definitely entertaining, especially in the "spot the pseudonym" sort of way, and it tells a story of triumph over evil. But I'm not sure that I actually enjoyed it, given how woodenly it was written, and given that the problems it sketches are all around us, frighteningly visible and visceral, I found its magical ending even more despairing.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux (3DS)
Written by Cheryl Gress
Category: 3DS
Game Info:
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux
Developed by: Lancarse
Published by: Atlus
Available on: DS, 3DS
Number of players: Single-player
ESRB Rating: Mature for violence, blood, language, partial nudity, sexual themes
(Amazon Affiliate Link)
Thank you Atlus for sending us this game to review!
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey was originally released in North America for the Nintendo DS in 2010. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux for the 3DS provides better visuals, Japanese voice acting, new endings, demons, characters, and a fresh dungeon to explore. Other than a mysterious new female character named Alex, the main story remains the same.
In the near future, a strange phenomenon dubbed the Schwarzwelt appears in the South Pole. Populated cities suddenly appear and replace existing structures and establishments. Anything in the way of this growing mass disappears. Several squads are sent in to investigate this matter but only your ship, the Red Sprite, arrives intact. It doesn't take long to realize that demons are inhabiting these cities and their aim is to reclaim and reboot the Earth. The fate of humanity rests in your hands.
A handful of humans against cities of demons have the cards stacked against them. Thankfully, they didn't arrive unprepared. With the help of their Demonica suits, they can survive the strange atmosphere and analyze the demons nearby. The technologically advanced suits allow your squad to speak with, form contracts, and battle alongside demons. In order to survive you will need to befriend demons and have them fight on your behalf.
Strong Points: Interesting story that changes with the choices you make; fun gameplay; good Japanese voice acting
Weak Points: Difficult boss battles and confusing dungeon designs that practically require using a walkthrough; repetitive battle music
Moral Warnings: Lots of language with every word used except for the F-bomb; violence and bloodshed; some of the demons are wearing revealing clothing or nothing at all; other demons are modeled after genitalia; forming contracts with demons is required for survival; ethical/lawful behavior is comparable to brain washings; references to many gods of various religions
Your male character (whom you get to name) has an alignment assigned to him that changes along with his decisions made throughout the game. Demons have alignments too and if the alignments are identical or close, it's easier to form partnerships with them. Most demons will require some form of bribery to have them join your ranks. Sometimes they will request a certain item, money (macca), life or magic energy from you. Even after handing over said items, some demons will change their mind and run away. Along with the alignment affecting compatibility, there are also phases of the moon that change the mood and sometimes the directions of warps in the game. On a new moon, demons will behave differently in battle.
The demons you fight alongside and against will have different strengths and weaknesses. Whenever a weakness is exploited, those who share the same alignment as the attacker will get a free co-operative attack. This comes especially in handy during the boss battles. Be warned that your character and demons also have vulnerabilities that can be used against you in battle. Thankfully, your Demonica suit and demons are customizable.
As you explore and gather items in dungeons, you will unlock the ability to craft new weapons, armor, and apps for your Demonica suit. Most weapons have an elemental affinity or two. The same goes with armor but they usually have a weakness to counter it. Make sure you have the ideal gear before starting a boss battle. At the very least, save before you proceed into the ominous room so you can re-equip as necessary to guard your vulnerabilities and exploit theirs.
Score Breakdown:
(10/10 is perfect)
Game Score - 80%
Gameplay - 17/20
Graphics - 7/10
Sound - 6/10
Stability - 5/5
Controls - 5/5
Morality Score - 32%
Violence - 2.5/10
Language - 1/10
Sexual Content - 5/10
Occult/Supernatural - 0/10
Cultural/Moral/Ethical - 7.5/10
While there are not many dungeons, the handful that are present are pretty complex. Many of them have hidden doorways and passages that will require repeat visits once your suit is upgraded enough to open those passageways. There are several mazes and pitfalls and I was thankful for the online maps and FAQs available to help guide me through the tricky situations.
Many of the bosses besides the end one are on compilations of most annoying bosses ever. To succeed in this game you will have to grind to power up your character and party of demons. Fusing/customizing demons is critical to make them more powerful and immune to specific attacks from the bosses you will have to face against. It took me about eighty hours to get to the final boss only to realize that my party was underleveled and requires several more hours of grinding and customizing to survive multiple attacks let alone multiple forms.
There are lots of demons with various powers and abilities. Some of the demons can reflect or even counter physical attacks while others can negate or send back specific elemental spells. The demon designs are pretty similar to other SMT games out there. Not surprisingly, the scantily clad and genitalia themed demons also make an appearance in this title. There are demons based off of gods and fallen angels as well. Violence is a given and some puddles of blood are shown as bodies of crewmen are discovered. Lots of cussing is heard and pretty much every curse word besides the F-bomb is used. Characters in this game who are lawful/good are considered mindless brainwashed beings.
If you don't mind the many moral issues, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux can you keep you busy for quite a while. I would just have a couple of bookmarks of helpful maps and FAQs handy before delving too deep into the dungeons. While the maps are not out of date, I did find that many of the demon summoning passwords available online no longer work in the newly released version of this game.

Plutocracy v18.11
September 28, 2018 ~ Chris Anderson
I had a play test of Plutocracy version 18.11 last night. It's been streamlined a lot since it's days as a multi-hour 4X game. Now it's an area control game that has been coming in under 30 minutes.
It's back down to 5 factions instead of 7 so the random cube pulls won't vary as much. It was also cut down to 10 planets from 12.
The biggest change for this version was removing the trade action. Since the game has always been a stock market game at heart, trading seemed like an important part. However, it turns out it isn't needed. Trading allowed players to drastically change what faction they were invested in. It took up a good amount of time and required more tracking in game to deal with fluctuating prices.
I was worried that players wouldn't like it being removed, but I wanted to try the game with essentially only the move action. It went over very well. Players can't shift factions as drastically, but that seems to be a benefit. Though players can still shift their allegiance, it takes time. So they are incentivized to push for certain factions on the board instead of just investing in the projected leader.
The income system I was using last night was passable, but tedious. It tied to the recruit system so players had some limited choice in what influence to take and how that would affect the recruit action. I've come up with a new idea for income and recruit that uses a version of "I split, you choose".
The active player will have a recruit board with 4 areas on it. 2 areas will each have 3 influence in them determined by the previous player. The active player will draw 6 new influence from the bag and split them into 2 equal groups on the empty areas of the recruit board. Then they choose one new group and one old group. One of those groups is their income and goes into their supply, the other group goes onto a planet of their choosing. The 2 groups left over will be passed to the next player.
My hope is that this is faster than the old version and gives players some meaningful control over their income and how planets are built up. The additional ability to affect the next player's options seems like it could be a nice point of tension.
The player will then pay to move a faction and check if any planets are overcrowded which triggers a war. Which is another change from older versions. Wars are now triggered by the game state instead of being chosen by players. Earlier versions made players hesitant to spend resources to start a war and then also invest in that war for the desired outcome. The automatic wars help this and since the losing cubes in a battle push the end game, it helps the game not stall.
I'm thinking of cutting down the number of influence that trigger a war, to help speed up the early game. But it may not be needed with the new recruit system.
Plutocracy has come a long way, and like many times before, I think I'm on the right path now. Only more testing will see if this is where I want it to go.
I also had a chance to play two games inspired by Plutocracy by some of my friends. Both took the core idea of not controlling your own faction and went in different directions. Both are very interesting and I look forward to watching them develop.
Tomorrow (9/29) I'll be at the Boston Festival of Indie Games. I'll be interviewing designers for The Board Game Workshop and giving out one of the awards at the end of the show. If you will be at the show be sure to say hi.

Markets Perturbed By Increased Expenditure
A " Give Away"
Taxation Hint Invigorates Markets Share Bargains For Income
International Improvement Revives Confidence
ARMAMENT INVESTMENT AND THE CATHOLIC ATTITUDE
DEFENCE FINANCE—BY LOAN OR TAXATION ?
By Our City Editor
From the larger week-end post which greeted brokers on the start of the new Account, it seems that at last the public is taking a greater practical interest after having been practically out of the markets for several months. Business, however, is of a " specialised " character, iron and steel, armament and engineering shares re
ceiving principal attention on the excellent results disclosed recently in this direction, and the fact that there now seems no likelihood of any slackening of our Defence programme over the next few years. The fact that those shares benefiting from Government expenditure on rearmament are generally indicated as the most promising channel of industrial investment for some time to come, places at a disadvantage those investors who object on principle to participating in profits from the manufacture of war material.
Monopoly of Aircraft Ring
Although this attitude on the part of some investors precludes investment in concerns directly employed by the Government, these are comparatively few in number, and it is as well to distinguish between their position and that of the vast majority of engineering firms, which are only very indirectly concerned through a little sub-contracting, and are still largely occupied with civil work.
In the case of the Aircraft industry, for example, those companies holding the monopoly of official work comprise a ring of only nineteen. including such firms as Airspeed, Bristol Aeroplane, Fairey and Short Bros., most of which are farming out work to the smaller companies.
Even among the ring firms, however, there are several producing 'planes only for such non-combatant purposes as training and observation, while the enormous demand for machines for the Air Guard should fully occupy those other concerns manufacturing only private and commercial types. Although having no connection with weapons of war, the shares of these companies should benefit as much as any from Government expenditure.
Taxation Has Its Benefits
Gilt-edged and other fixed-interest securities are restrained at the moment owing to uncertainty as to the means of financing further rearmament. There is much speculation as to the extent to which the programme will be met by a new, big loan, or whether, for the moment, provision will be made from national revenue by increased income-tax and/or N.D.C. The choice of a loan is suggested by the weakness recently of the Gilt-edged section, and the tenacity with which the authorities have maintained the 2 per cent. Bank rate, despite the recent major crisis. Nevertheless, the Government must raise money at all costs, and, if this method is chosen, will offer more attractive terms than has hitherto been necessary. In this case, securities such as War Loan and Consols would have cause for depression.
On the other hand, there are many who favour higher direct taxation as a preferable means of raising funds to any further increase in the national debt. For many years past, we have witnessed in many countries, including our own, vast spending by Governments on armament and social services, without precipitating them down the road to ruin which we were formerly led to believe was the sure result of such squandermania. Such expenditure is, in fact, a mild form of inflation, and provided it is confined within the country the advantages to the masses far outweigh the disadvantages to the direct taxpayer.
In this respect, it is clear that everywhere a new economic order has been established, which is as near as practicable to the Socialist ideal of the redistribution of wealth. In future, the moneyed man must be prepared to pay away upwards of a third of his annual income in direct taxation, much of which will be devoted to fostering industrial activity, and thereby increasing the purchasing power of the masses; as a result, a substantial proportion of every pound of revenue spent in this way will revert to the Treasury in the form of taxes on beer and tobacco, while the investing class will also receive compensation from increased dividends as a result of prosperous industry. It is true that borrowed capital could be spent to the same general advantage, but, in this case, there is the burden of making provision for both the interest and the principal. For this reason, I believe that the greater cost of rearmament will be borne by the present taxpayer rather than the future generation.

A Team of OU Students Publish Article in G3
A team of biology students published a paper in the August 2015 issue of the journal G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics Mission. The lead author was Brian Lunch, who earned a masters degree in biology in 2013. Coauthors include graduate students Donya Shodja and Amy Siebert, and undergraduates Tara Patrick, Jennifer Moreno, and Katie Klusman. The students work in the laboratory of Prof. Shailesh Lal. The abstract of their paper, titled "Differential Pre-mRNA Splicing Alters the Transcript Diversity of Helitrons Between the Maize Inbred Lines" (Volume 5, Pages 1703-1711) is given below.
The propensity to capture and mobilize gene fragments by the highly abundant Helitron family of transposable elements likely impacts the evolution of genes in Zea mays. These elements provide a substrate for natural selection by giving birth to chimeric transcripts by intertwining exons of disparate genes. They also capture flanking exons by read-through transcription. Here, we describe the expression of selected Helitrons in different maize inbred lines. We recently reported that these Helitrons produce multiple isoforms of transcripts in inbred B73 via alternative splicing. Despite sharing high degrees of sequence similarity, the splicing profile of Helitrons differed among various maize inbred lines. The comparison of Helitron sequences identified unique polymorphisms in inbred B73, which potentially give rise to the alternatively spliced sites utilized by transcript isoforms. Some alterations in splicing, however, do not have obvious explanations. These observations not only add another level to the creation of transcript diversity by Helitrons among inbred lines but also provide novel insights into the cis-acting elements governing splice-site selection during pre-mRNA processing.
Lal's research is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation.

Matriarchal: Pre-Islam Arab cultures in Arabic Peninsula?
Posted by: adonis49 on: July 9, 2010
In: Book Review | Essays | Islam/Moslem/Islamic world | Lebanon/Middle East/Near East/Levant | religion/history | sex/ love/seduction | social articles | women
Matriarchal: Pre-Islam Arab cultures?
In a previous article I stated that:
First, Arabic tribes are as ancient as antiquity; it appears that the first time the word "Arab" was discovered in manuscripts was in 853 BC as a coalition of Arab tribes, associated with Syria and a few Israelite tribes in northern Palestine to counter an Assyrian incursion in the Levant (Near East region of current Syria, Lebanon and Palestine).
Second, many "Arabic" stories and myths were altered and recounted by bordering Empires to fit their environment and culture.
Third, Arabic tribes extended to the desert region between the Euphrates and Tiger Rivers, to the vast stretch of land bordering the Red Sea, to Southern Palestine and Jordan, to the Sinai Peninsula, and to the lands bordering the Persian Gulf.
Fourth, the Arabic tribes languages and cultures were influenced by the urban civilization in Yemen, the various Persian Empires and India, and the various Western Empires of Greek, Roman, and Byzantium Empires before the advent of Islam. I am inclined to believe that India civilization was the most influential, particularly in the separation of genders at home and in public, and the "hareem" tradition…
Fifth, the dominant Empires at every period paid tributes to coalition of Arabic tribes in return of keeping the peace on demarcation borders, facilitating trade caravans, and for gathering intelligence on the enemy as advance signs of changing policies, and for joining in battles.
In the origin, ancient Arabic tribes had matriarchal social structures.
A tribe had higher standing compared to others when its matriarch owned more husbands, particularly, captured enemy men. It was women who took the initiative of selecting their men. More often than than not, disputation for acquiring men resulted in tribal wars.
The Command of a tribe was in the hand of the woman who had the most of husbands.
Thus, it was common for the victor tribe to mutilate the husbands of vanquished tribes. It is no enigma why the three most venerated idols were women warriors such as Manat, Uzzat, and Lat. It is no enigma why the Prophet Mohammad was ready to strike a compromise with the tribes of Mecca, before being chased out of the city, to considering the three goddesses as valid supporters to the all-encompassing God Allah.
Fact is, there was an idol called Allah who was considered to be above all idols, but he had no particular talents for business and didn't generate donations to the clan that owned it. It is no surprise that most love poems alluded to female camels and horses that had names .
With time, women realized that it was not a good policy to mutilate "enemy" men, but that sexual attraction skills were more beneficial in wooing husbands. Thus, the development of garment, aromatic, and jewelry industries. Textile art witnessed great expansion; mainly in veils to guard against sun rays and desert dust.
Public duels within a tribe were among women who danced best and seduced most men.
Belly dancing (raksa) were restricted to women who knew the language of the message to send. The raksa was based on fast paced rhythm of monochord percussion instruments. For example, choreographic dances were selected according to the alphabetic string of characters forming a word or a sentence.
This dance language was known by women. Men were totally ignorant of what was being said or discussed in the dances.
Most probably, patriarchal structures supplanted the previous structure due to influences of Jewish tribes and the tribes that settled in Syria and Iraq. Thus, more male idols were imported to strengthen patriarchal societies within Arabic tribes.
Thus, as you read about pre-Islam cultures of Arabic tribes you should keep in mind thousand of years of traditions and customs. Pre-Islam Arabic cultures are lumped by the new emerging Islam as "Period of Ignorance (Jahilyya)" meaning ignorance of the One and Unique God Allah.
Fact is, many Arabic tribes were already Christians or what is labelled "heretic" Christians, because they had dogmas different from the Byzantine Orthodox dogma. Fact is, many Arabic tribes were Jewish;
Fact is, many more believed in Mazda (the dominant religion in Persia.)
Fact is, most of the idols that Arabic tribes venerated were imported from Syria, Persia, and India. Islam became the common denominator religion among Arabic tribes during the Prophet Muhammad life.
I might describe a few of the pre-Islam poets and cultures in a third articles. What follows are a few pre-Islam saying extracted mostly from "The enigma of Qaf" by Alberto Mussa:
"When I tell a lie, am I not restoring an ancient truth?" (The Arabic Scheherazade)
"Two write: The one with a lousy memory and the other who lacks verbal expression skills"
"I love women who, when naked, are never totally nude" (Poet Imru2 al Qayss)
"Honor is but another form of fear" (Poet Shanfara)
"Is there any greater glory than being ignored by hyenas?" (Poet Amru ben Kulthum)
"Three are stupid: the one who does not know that he doesn't; the one who knows that he doesn't; and the one who doesn't know that he knows." (Poet Labid or Lubad)
"Having respect for your enemies is celebrating a cult to the dead." (Poet Antara)
"O beauty! O Women! O desert!" (Anonymous)
"Three possess faith: The Persian in his horoscope, the Jew in his laws, and the Arab in his camel."
"Two are innocents: A beautiful girl and an armed man."
"What you don't own, steal it" (Ali Baba)
"Why ask of God what I can buy on the market?" (Mundhir)
"The greatest merit of an atheist is that he does not believe in demons."
"Four are pleasures: laughing, eating, loving, and knowing."
"I love the concept of woman, and only that concept. This one woman, the other one: Who can tell me the difference?" (Poet Imru el Qayss)
"True wise men can never be happy."
"Even talking about a single evident fact requires that you have read a thousand book." (Malika)
"Ask the dead if they really want peace!" (Poet Tarafa)
"Realising your desires is the work of an imbecile." (Aladin)
"I have never forgiven: I have not the pretension of possessing a virtue attributed to God."
"Nothing is that grand to merit being taken seriously." (Poet Al Aasha the dim sighted)
"We don't kill a pork without soiling the knife."
"I love the tribe of bats: Every female is beautiful."
"The best in life are those that we have no use of them." (Poet Zuheir)
"I am immortal: I will never know when I died." (Harith bi Hilliza)
"I don't like everything that I possess, but I possess everything that I love." (Poet Nabigha al Zubyani)
"The best of blind people are those who want to see."

Somali region extends exploration contract with Africa Oil for 1 year..
NAIROBI, Kenya – Africa Oil says the government of Somalia's semiautonomous northern region of Puntland has extended their oil drilling agreement for a year.
The statement from Monday says the agreement has been extended until Jan. 17, 2012.
The joint venture between Africa Oil, Range Resources Ltd. and Lion Energy Corp. requires the partners to drill one well by July 27 and another by next Jan. 17. A new partner, Red Emperor, has also joined the venture.
A statement by Africa Oil chief executive Keith Hill said he believes Puntland could hold similar oil reserves to Yemen. Yemen has more than 6 billion barrels of discovered reserves.
Puntland has a functioning government and is considered relatively stable compared with southern and central Somalia.


Excellent steenbok for an excellent movie!!! I loved it.
Excellent film. Looks fantastic on blu ray, the steelbook looks just as good. An essential purchase purchase.
The steel book itself is very eye catching, the embossed finish works well. The film itself is a classic and looks stunning on Blu ray. There is a generous selection of extra features. I feel that this was a must have as it is my favourite film. Well worth the purchase.
I love Jurassic Park, it just brings all my childhood memories back! Dinosaurs being brought back and roaming free on a tropical island by 'no expense spared' John Hammond! Who never loved dinosaurs when they were young and had fantasies of actually seeing them and actually touching one? A brilliant film with great effects, a great cast and fantastic soundtrack. Watched the new Jurassic World movie and when the main theme started, (come on, you know the one I mean), I just had a lump in my throat. One of timeless classics which will ways be shown at Christmas and find new generations to love it just as we did! The steelbook is gorgeous is well!
the greatest dinosaur movie ever got almost perfect steelbook. i can imagine a little bit different inside artwork, but i cant say i am not satisfied. the movie quality is great anyway. perfect buy.
Excellent steelbook, excellent art and to top it it comes with a free ultraviolet code which was a nice surprise! Came in excellent condition, brilliant film. Thanks!


OK everyone, it's that time of year where we vote to elect the 5 council members for the club. Before providing the voting information, the council wanted to provide a summary of some of things that we accomplished this past year.
Congress to Vote on H.R. 1925 America's Red Rock Wilderness Act This Thursday!
The Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands of the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources has scheduled a hearing on October 1 to consider H.R. 1925, America's Red Rock Wilderness Act of 2009.
Some of you may remember late last year that we discussed donating $500 from club funds generated from the rally to a charitable organization. After discussing this with Phoenix and Tucson members, the desire was to donate to an organization that supported keeping trails open. Just before Chirstmas, the council discussed another option of donating the funds to a charity to help people in need given the severity of the depressed economy and unemployment conditions in both Tucson and Phoenix.
Though the Range Rover Sport HST from Land Rover officially debuted during the press day of the Goodwood Festival of Speed several weeks ago, it took the folks over at Land Rover a little while to get official snaps of the new bling king from United Kingdom.
We received 20 ballots from active members during the voting period, December 5th thru the 22nd.
Erik M received 8 votes. Chad M received 6 votes.
Congratulations to Erik and his new spot on the council.

i am using the below json_query to filter the output from the tempdata
   - name: "search for traget fw"
     set_fact:
       job_status2: "{{ tmpdata | json_query('[json.status, json.extra_vars]') }}"

please see the output from the above facts, you can see dict inside the list and i want to filter only expected output mentioned below
current output:
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": [
        "successful",
        "{\"domain\": \"abc-cn-1\", \"mgmt_password\": \"admxxxxxin123\", \"mgmt_server\": \"192.168.10.20\", \"fingerprint\": \"9125544D272B5AD28F3E9AB7BC8AA3F276E45064\", \"fwcmd\": \"fw sam -v  -J src 192.68.10.10\", \"targets\": [\"abc-cn-c1\"]}"
    ]
}

expected output:
["successful", targets": ["abc-cn-c1"]]

please help me id if this is possible

A: There are (at least) two answers to your question if you want to continue to use json_query, and one that sidesteps that mess entirely. We'll start with the latter because it's less typing for me :-)
- set_fact:
   job_status2: '{{ [ tmpdata.json.status, (tmpdata.json.extra_vars|from_json).targets] }}'

the second is a slight variation on that, in that someone needs to resolve that embedded JSON to a dict and (AFAIK) JMESPath has no such ability
- set_fact:
    job_status2: "{{ newdata | json_query('[json.status, json.extra_vars.targets]') }}"
  vars:
    newdata: >-
     {{ tmpdata
     | combine({"json":{"extra_vars", tmpdata.json.extra_vars|from_json}}, recursive=True)
     }}

I mention that one mostly for the case where you are doing other things with json_query and thus it would be advantageous to know how to coerce the structure to be friendlier for JMESPath
and finally, you can cheat and use the JMESPath literal notation to embed the already JSON-ified string right into the query
- set_fact:
    job_status2: "{{ newdata | json_query('[json.status, `' + newdata.json.extra_vars + '`.targets]') }}"

Sports betting is one of the oldest forms of wagering in the world. Bettors have been putting cash on matches for centuries. An activity that started with races and fights and evolved into organized sporting events.
There are many ways to place a sports bet. In most countries outside the US, it's as easy as going to a local betting shop. Most countries with betting in brick-and-mortar facilities also provide mobile and online platforms. Some sports betting is operated by state lotteries as a monopoly. Others provide competition between experienced and licensed bookmakers.
This is a hugely popular industry and continues to grow to this very day. There are many different sports betting sites and apps available on the market today. In this guide, we'll give you some great advice about how to pick the sports book that's right for you.
Let's begin by looking at an important question when it comes to considering which online bookmakers to bet with. What is it that makes one sports book more appealing than a competitor?
What makes one online sports book better than another?
There are many different factors that will make one sports book better than another. Outlined below are just some details you should consider when thinking about joining a sports betting site.
One of the key things to investigate when joining a sports betting site is the offer given to new players. It's difficult to ascertain which is the 'best' offer. In truth, it very much depends on how much you intend to deposit as a new customer. As well as how often you intend to bet with the company in question.
The value of an offer is very much dependent on these two factors. Once you know how much you plan to deposit and place as your first bet, have a look around the sites to see which offer best suits you.
Many of the top sites will run a large number of different betting promotions and/or offers across the year and across a wide range of sports.
What you need to check here is that the offers available on your preferred sites are likely to be ones that you will benefit from. There's little point in joining a site that offers predominantly soccer betting offers, for example, if your main sport of choice to bet on is horse racing.
Ensure that the short and long-term offers on your chosen site match up well with your betting interests and you'll benefit from these offers in the long term.
There are many useful sites available that can compare the odds of a given sporting market across a wide range of bookmakers. It's impossible for any sports betting site to offer the best odds on every sporting market all the time. What you should check for is that your site tends to give you if not the best available odds, then as close to it as possible, most of the time, particularly for those sports that you are likely to bet on.
Not only do you want to place bets easily and quickly with an online bookmaker, but you should also expect to be paid expediently.
Not only that, but your chosen bookmaker should offer a number of different methods of payment. (Such as PayPal, bank transfers, and credit cards, just to name a few.) They should also have a roughly equal number of ways to withdraw your winnings.
Also check that their customer support is readily available in case you need to query a transaction.
A key element is that a sports book should offer punters a wide range of sports to bet on. Not only that, but within each sport, there should be a wide range of different betting markets available for selected events, ensuring you have as much choice as possible.
Most bookmakers offer all of the most common bets. For some of the less common bets however, you may have to research which bookmakers offer these bets or who will offer odds on a bet requested by a customer.
Perhaps the biggest development in mobile sports betting over the past few years has been live streaming. Check out what sports your chosen site streams to your mobile as part of your service.
Is this service free or are there conditions that need to be met (such as having a credit balance) in order to view these events? Does your site offer live streaming of horse racing if you bet a minimum amount on a race?
Picking an online sports book you can trust is relatively simple. Sports betting is a highly regulated industry. There are rules and regulations as to what companies can and cannot offer in certain geographical regions.
Those that have been established as a high street bookmaker for many years and have now moved into the online arena (such as William Hill, Coral and Ladbrokes).
Online bookmaking companies that have been formed to offer their services mainly to online customers (Bet365 Sport, Betway and SkyBet are good examples).
Regardless of which type of bookmaker you choose, you can be sure that if you stick with one of the bigger names in the industry (such as those listed by a reputable odds comparison website) then you should be able to trust them.
Finally, another good indication is a site that's popular. If you search for a site and it has millions of customers and ranks high in search engine rankings, then you're likely onto a good thing.
That's not to say new, up and coming sports books (such as BetStars or Betway) should be avoided. It just means that they aren't yet as proven as some of the more long-established sites. Although given the reputation of both of these sites, it's safe to assume they can be added to the list of sites to trust.
So you've signed up with a reputable betting site and are ready to start sports betting. What you now want to do is turn this into a profitable past time.
Outlined below are six top tips to help you make the right selections when sports betting.
Rather like a poker player, to enjoy profitable long term sports betting it is imperative to have a sensible approach to your bankroll.
Set yourself a weekly/monthly limit and keep to that. Always try and keep a significant proportion of your bankroll back and try not to bet it all. This is a skill more attributed to poker players, but it works equally well and makes equal financial sense for sports betting fans, too.
How do you select your bet? Is it a gut instinct call, or do you actually try and logically work out what the best options are for the bet you selected?
Most punters fall into either of these camps and while gut instincts can come off, it is generally accepted that the more you research and look into a bet, the more likely it is you will select the right option.
Statistics and trends are easily and freely available on most top sports betting apps and sites. Use them wisely to inform your betting and you'll make the correct choice more often.
A great way to get value for money long term is to ensure that you take full advantage of any offer or promotion a sports betting site runs on a sports event. It doesn't matter if it is enhanced odds price, a free bet available or a bonus paid on top of your winnings, using bonuses and promotions for bets is a great way to secure added value and ensure at least some return even if your bet is not successful.
Accumulator bets (or parlay bets if you are based in North America) are very popular bets as they offer the punter a relatively high reward for a small initial outlay. However, they are also incredibly difficult to predict accurately and the chances of landing an acca dwindle with every additional selection you add to the coupon.
Ask yourself this question: Is winning £50 from a £10 double bet every now and then better than trying to win £50,000 every week with a 5,000/1 shot? If profitability is your aim, then there is only one choice.
This is not to say you should not bet on acca's, but just do so sparingly and only when you think you have a solid chance of success.
It's easy to peruse a sports betting app or site and be fooled into thinking you can bet on any sport you like. Indeed, the capability to do so is there, but in terms of profitability in the longer term, it is much better to stick to sports and events within that sport that you know.
For example, if you are a football fan, you are more likely to know more about your domestic league, than perhaps the Peruvian second division.
You can get great value by following your chosen sports betting sites Facebook, Twitter and other profiles on social media. Often companies will run special social-media only promotions which you can then use to gain added value when betting.
To conclude our look at sports betting online, let's now take a look at the key differences between sports betting via mobile compared to betting at home from a PC or similar.
With a mobile you can place bets wherever you are provided you have a WiFi or 3G/4G connection. This means you can actually place bets from anywhere, even if you are at the sporting event you want to bet on. This also means you can enjoy Live In Play betting easily as you can see the markets change in real time on your phone.
If you bet via a desktop, you can only do this when sat at your PC.
Betting via a mobile or tablet is also more convenient, as you can do it whenever and wherever you have a connection. It is so much quicker to load up your phone or tablet and place a bet than it is to go home, turn on the PC and then place a bet.
The difference may seem small but in some cases, it can be the difference between getting a bet on or missing it altogether.
No longer are mobile sites watered down versions of what you will find on the online site. Most mobile operators now offer a full service of sports betting features via mobile devices, even down to including live streaming of events.
Some mobile sports betting providers don't even require you to visit the site to place a bet. Some will accept bets via a phone call, and others will even accept bets made via text messaging service.
Nowadays, mobile sports betting is not a 'secondary' option to gambling via a desktop. You can access all the bets, all the markets and all the features from your mobile across most sites, as you can from a desktop.
The first step of placing a sports bet is to decide how much to wager. In a live sportsbook, there is a number next to the corresponding bet. It is ideal to mention this betting number at the window to ensure that there are no errors. Exotic bets with multiple outcomes often require the bettor to submit a card to prevent errors.
The ticket writer will print a slip for each wager. It is imperative to check the slip to make sure that everything is correct. If you discover an error after leaving the window, you're probably stuck with it.
An online sports bet is much easier to make. These are processed over the Internet and on mobile devices, depending on the jurisdiction.
An online account must be created. Most countries permit a player to create the account from home. It can be funded immediately. Withdrawals are made directly on the website. An ID check is often required the first time a cashout is requested.
For example, in Nevada, a player must go to the sports book to create an account. An ID is required, as well as a players card from the establishment. Deposits and withdrawals at Nevada books most often must be transacted at the casino.
Once an account is established, a player simply chooses the wager from the app or online menu. This includes the sport and whether the wager is a straight, parlay, teaser, future or in play. A mobile device must have the location services operational, or else the wager will get rejected in most jurisdictions. It is often a regulatory requirement.
The most common form of sports betting is a straight bet. This means only one outcome is determined by this wager. This usually includes a money line for the outright winner. For example, one team may be -200 and the other side +170. This means that a bettor on the favorite must lay $200 to win $100. The underdog bettor bets $100 for every $170 he hopes to win. The vig lays in between the two numbers.
In American football and basketball, a handicap of a point spread is also offered. The typical lay on a spread is -110 on both sides. This means that a player bets $11 for every $10 he hopes to win.
Parlays include betting on two or more outcomes. This greatly increases the payout if it wins. All parts of a parlay ticket must win to cash it. Point spread games that push or tied events will drop the payout on the parlay ticket by one team but will not kill it, unless the particular parlay card discloses that ties lose.
Teasers are available on American sports. This is where a point spread is moved on every event on the ticket by a predetermined number of points in the player's favor. The card wins if all games fall within the spread. There is also a reverse teaser, known as a pleaser that puts points out of the player's favor. These have gigantic payouts if they hit because of the difficulty level. The juice on parlays and teasers is often more than 20 percent. The more teams involved, the more of a house edge the ticket has.
An in-play wager in made on a game in progress. A player can get into the action during breaks. This is a way to hedge an existing bet or get into action if the start of the event was missed by the player.
Futures are when a bettor takes a team to win a championship. This can be a division, league or country. It can also be in individual in sports like tennis, golf, boxing or racing. Only one team or player out of the pool is a winner on a futures bet.
North America is not as liberal as the rest of the world when it comes to sports betting. Mexico permits betting shops that take action on races and sports. Canada books parlay cards through provincial lotteries.
Straight bets are not permitted in Canada, and the question of the legality of online gambling in Canada remains an open one.
Delaware offers parlay cards on NFL games through its state lottery. Three or more outcomes must be chosen by the player. There is no online sports betting in Delaware, only online casino (Delaware is one of two states to offer legal US online casino sites).
Nevada offers a full menu of sports betting that is comparable to other countries. Delaware sells sports tickets at racetracks, bars and lottery retailers. Nevada offers live, mobile sports betting, and online betting.
