Library provides an API for defining polymorphic methods that dispatch on the
first argument type. This provides a powerful way for decouple abstraction
interface definition from an actual implementations per type / instance,
without risks of interference with other libraries.

### Motivation

  - Provide a high-performance, dynamic polymorphism construct as an
    alternative to existing object methods that does not provides any
    mechanics for guarding against name conflicts.
  - Allow independent extension of types, and implementations of methods
    on types, by different parties.

## Install

    npm install method

## Use

```js
var method = require("method")

// Define `isWatchable` method that can be implemented for any type.
// Use some UNIQUE identifer for the method to avoid any naming collisions.
// If not provided one will be generate but with npm it's easy to end up
// with copies of same library and there for copies of the same function
// leading to surprises. So just really pick a name that is unique!
var isWatchable = method("isWatchable@watchables")

// If you call it on any object it will
// throw as nothing implements that method yet.
//isWatchable({}) // => Exception: method is not implemented

// If you define private method on `Object.prototype`
// all objects will inherit it.
Object.prototype[isWatchable] = function() {
  return false;
}

isWatchable({}) // => false

// Although `isWatchable` property above will be enumerable and there for
// may damage some assumbtions made by other libraries. There for it"s
// recomended to use built-in helpers methods that will define extension
// without breaking assumbtions made by other libraries:

isWatchable.define(Object, function() { return false })

// There are primitive types in JS that won"t inherit methods from Object:
isWatchable(null) // => Exception: method is not implemented

// One could either implement methods for such types:
isWatchable.define(null, function() { return false })
isWatchable.define(undefined, function() { return false })

// Or simply define default implementation:
isWatchable.define(function() { return false })

// Alternatively default implementation may be provided at creation:
isWatchable = method(function() { return false })

// Method dispatches on an first argument type. That allows us to create
// new types with an alternative implementations:
function Watchable() {}
isWatchable.define(Watchable, function() { return true })

// This will make all `Watchable` instances watchable!
isWatchable(new Watchable()) // => true

// Arbitrary objects can also be extended to implement given method. For example
// any object can simply made watchable:
function watchable(object) {
  return isWatchable.implement(objct, function() { return true })
}

isWatchable(watchable({})) // => true

// Full protocols can be defined with such methods:
var observers = "observers@" + module.filename
var watchers = method("watchers@watchables")
var watch = method("watch@watchables")
var unwatch = method("unwatch@watchables")

watchers.define(Watchable, function(target) {
  return target[observers] || (target[observers] = [])
})

watch.define(Watchable, function(target, watcher) {
  var observers = watchers(target)
  if (observers.indexOf(watcher) < 0) observers.push(watcher)
  return target
})
unwatch.define(Watchable, function(target, watcher) {
  var observers = watchers(target)
  var index = observers.indexOf(watcher)
  if (observers.indexOf(watcher) >= 0) observers.unshift(watcher)
  return target
})

// Define type Port that inherits form Watchable

function Port() {}
Port.prototype = Object.create(Watchable.prototype)

var emit = method("emit")
emit.define(Port, function(port, message) {
  watchers(port).slice().forEach(function(watcher) {
    watcher(message)
  })
})

var p = new Port()
watch(p, console.log)
emit(p, "hello world") // => info: "hello world"
```


The Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS) has been introduced by Public Utility Board (PUB) since 2006 on a voluntary basis.

Normally I do a search and then ask questions, but this is so confusing that I am going to start with questions.
Have all my machines with coils up to 10 each. Have written down all the recipes for all the items to be made and been collecting as many of the ingredients as I can. Some are limited for various reasons.
Now is the fun part. Which of these do I really need for myself for personal usage and which of these gums, pastes, solvents and such are best to collect and make to sell.
What ones are important? How important is the imperfect boon, the unstable boon? Do I really need the Draining boon, the corrupted boon, the unstable boon, defect reduction and others?
Quirks – not even sure what they are, how they work and do I want them or do I want to try to avoid them and if so, how?
Pastes – which one also are important? And solvents? How many do I add and the list can go on and on.
Sorry, I don't expect them all to be answered now, just what I see as the most important, what ones do I need to make especially a hammer for mining that I can get two or three blocks with one hit on a level 4 and 5 planet and same with a shovel when gathering the mushroom and boulders to sell?
How many do I need to use of each type, when I add a boon compound, do I need to add more than one and if so do I do them immediately or wait a bit?
I've watched some videos, but they are some help, but I still have so many questions and don't want to waste the ingredients, so guessing I should try them out on a iron hammer first.
It explains anything better than I ever could, it's how I started forging.
There's links explaining what every boon, quirk and defect is.
The method is good, use it for a while and see how it actually works. Once you have a bit of an understanding, start experimenting with other mats.
When you experiment, just make sure you only load 1 tool, and have deconstruction resin 3 on deck.
Follow the guide and the method, take your time. Don't expect perfect forges right away (or every time).
Once you get a bit of confidence, you can start putting 4/5 tools in at a time.
Probably will be tomorrow, in a lot of pain right now, but will find it and bookmark it and cut and paste it to word also.
Once you have had a read through and maybe a couple of trials, if anything is still not making sense, I'd be happy to help if I can.
Don't claim to be the best or kmost knowledgeable, but I enjoy working out puzzles, and that how I see the forge.
I just wish ps4 users could have access to something like the test forge on PC, I'm sure I could come up with more efficient ways with a practice forge.
Those will probably sell the best. But many of them are relatively easy to make so might not sell very well in general.
Strong suggestion to use lots of Fate paste while forging.
Lets do this step by step, shall we. I keep being told how easy this is if I know what I'm doing. So, as an instruction to not only me, but all new forgers, lets do a step-by-step tutorial. As the thread title states, lets focus, first, on the character. Part One: Character Set Up What skills do I need for my forge character? What stats? What level should this alt be before I even consider breaking out the forge?
Everything you'll ever need to know about traits/quirks.
The "traits by tool type" is especially handy if you click the little arrow to expand the accoridan at the start.
The best part is there are a few recipes you can use to get the effect you want. If you ever make it to the Golden Fist Shop (there's a shop portal in the Grovidas Te PS HUB and a lot of other hubs), there's a sign with all the quirks listed out and what they do on his wall. Some quirks are really nice on some things, and some are really annoying.
For example, you never want wonky trigger on grapples and on chisels. It can be rage inducing.
Don't forget one jump ahead is bad on a hookshot as well.
Thanks everyone, I have copied all the info on the links to word so I can refer to it when I am forging. Getting all the ingredients now to do the work and may even try using a test planet to do some stuff.
Or, I may bite the bullet and just try some of the stuff that is cheap to make on iron tools and see what I get. The Catalyst and Solvents are going to be the problem to get, not too good at killing the critters that will drop these items and they are way to expensive for me to buy.
Have you ever joined a hunt? I just started to get into it (because making the ingredients can be EXPENSIVE) and if you run with a group you can find a lot of the trophies you need! Most of the catalysts aren't needed until you want to make the really high tier items, I've found.
I joined in one once, but I have some problems that makes it hard in some areas, my right arm will start to jerk then I am shooting all over the place, or fingers twitch and I click and fall to my death because I released the grapple, Can't keep up with the ones who go fast and get left behind.
Now with we can just go to the sanctum and return home free that would make it easier, but I just wait until my son can play and he is used to me accidently forgetting to switch from grapple back to slingbow and so I drag the hopper and he dies when it blow up.
Or accidently grapple him and pull him off a cliff and he dies, he didn't find that very funny though We played last night and I got around eight trophies.
If they would add more content, he would be more willing to play and we could go out more. But right now, he is not going to play the game any because there isn't that much that appeals to him. He isn't into building. Goes the game has great potential, but it is right now stagnating, not advancing.
That makes sense. I was going to suggest you could always use revives and healing bombs too.

This article refers to the atoll. For the musician, see Diego Garcia (music).
Diego Garcia is a 44 square kilometre (17 square mile) atoll located in the heart of the Indian Ocean. It is the largest of fifty-two islands which form the Chagos Archipelago. It is a British overseas territory, part of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT). It is situated some 1,600 kilometres (1,000 miles) south of India's southern coast.
The atoll is now covered in luxuriant tropical vegetation, with little sign left of the copra and coconut plantations that used to cover it. The island is 60 kilometres long, with a maximum elevation of 7 metres (22 feet), and nearly encloses a lagoon some 20 kilometres long and up to 9 kilometres wide. Depths in the lagoon range from 20 to 30 metres, while numerous coral heads extend toward the surface and form hazards to navigation. Shallow reefs surround the island on the ocean side as well as within the lagoon. The channel and anchorage area are dredged, while the old turning basin can also be used if depth is sufficient for ship type. In quiet waters of the lagoon, the brilliantly coloured tropical fish can be admired.
Annual rainfall averages 2600mm (102 inches) with the heaviest precipitation occurring from October to February, though even the driest month (August) averages 105mm (4.2 inches). Temperatures are generally close to 30 °C (high 80s Fahrenheit) by day, falling to the low 20s (degrees Celsius) by night. Humidity is high throughout the year. However the almost constant breezes keep conditions reasonably comfortable.
Diego Garcia is at risk from typhoons. The surrounding topography is low and does not provide an extensive wind break. However since the 1960s, the island has not been seriously affected by a severe tropical cyclone, even though it has often been threatened. The maximum sustained wind associated with a tropical cyclone in the period 1970-2000 at Diego Garcia has been approximately 40 knots (75 km/h).
The island and base were unaffected by the tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Service personnel on the island reported only a minor increase in wave activity. The island was protected by its favourable ocean topography. East of the atoll lies the 650-kilometre-long Chagos Trench, an underwater canyon plunging more than 5000 metres. The depth of the trench and its grade to the shore makes it difficult for tsunami to build before passing the atoll. In addition, undersea coral reefs may have dissipated much of the waves' impact (http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=26265).
On November 30, 1983 a magnitude 7 earthquake 55 km north-west of the island spawned a small tsunami resulting in a 1.5 m rise in wave height in the Diego Garcia lagoon, jointly causing some damage to buildings, piers and the runway.  (http://asc-india.org/gq/chagos.htm).
Portuguese explorers discovered Diego Garcia in the early 1500s and between 1814 and 1965 it was a dependency of Mauritius. The island's name is believed to have come from either the ship's captain or the navigator on that early voyage of discovery.
Diego Garcia was covered in plantations (copra, coconut, etc) in the 1800s. The workers who lived there were called the Ilois.
Now, Diego Garcia is home to a military base jointly operated by the United States and the United Kingdom, although in practice it is largely run as a US base, with only a small number of British forces and military police. No other economic activity is now allowed.  (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmhansrd/cm040712/text/40712w24.htm). The base serves as a naval refuelling and support station. It is also equipped with airfields that support even the largest of modern aircraft. B-52s and other bombers have been deployed from Diego Garcia on missions to Iraq during the 1990 Gulf War, and to Afghanistan in the 2001 U.S. Attack on Afghanistan. High-tech portable shelters to support the B-2 bomber were built on the island before the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The 70-year agreement between the UK and US for the US to use the island as a military base was made in 1966. Between 1967 and 1973 the British Government forcibly removed some 2,000 Ilois resident islanders to make way for the military base. The inhabitants were the descendents of 19th century workers, but they were not classified as indigenous residents by the British Government. According to journalist John Pilger, the islanders were tricked and intimidated into leaving until "the remaining population were loaded on to ships, allowed to take only one suitcase. They left behind their homes and furniture, and their lives. On one journey in rough seas, the copra company's horses occupied the deck, while women and children were forced to sleep on a cargo of bird fertilizer. Arriving in the Seychelles, they were marched up the hill to a prison where they were held until they were transported to Mauritius. There, they were dumped on the docks." The islanders now mostly live 2000 kilometres (1200 miles) away on the isle of Mauritius (with a few on the Seychelles or Salomon Islands).
In 2000 the British High Court granted the islanders the right to return to the Archipelago. In 2002 the islanders and their descendants, now numbering 4,500, returned to court claiming compensation, after what they said were two years of delays by the British Foreign Office. However, on 10th June 2004 the British government made two Orders-in-Council forever banning the islanders from returning home (http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1007029391629&a=KArticle&aid=1087553733971), reversing the 2000 court decision. Some of the Ilois are making return plans to turn Diego Garcia into a sugarcane and fishing enterprise as soon as the defence agreement expires (some see this as early as 2016). A few dozen other Ilois are still fighting to be housed in the UK (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/southern_counties/3977853.stm).
Human rights groups claim that the military base is used by the US government for interrogation of prisoners (with methods illegal in the US). The British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has stated in parliament that US authorities have repeatedly assured him that no detainees have passed in transit through Diego Garcia or have disembarked there  (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmhansrd/vo040621/text/40621w13.htm#40621w13.html_wqn9).

Where Is Loch Ness Located?
The location of Loch Ness is between Inverness and Fort Augustus in the Great Glen Fault Line. Loch Ness takes second place in extent in comparison to other lochs in Scotland. But when its volume is taken into account, it is the largest, since it holds water as much as all the water mass of every river and lake in England and Wales. Loch Ness is about 750 feet in depth and the Nessie's Lair, a part of the Loch, is about 812 feet in depth. The Loch Ness surrounds an island called Cerry Island at Fort Augustus.
Nessie is the name of the mythical monster believed to be living in the Loch Ness. Many have claimed to have seen Nessie over the past, and there have been many news stories regarding the Nessie Monster of the Loch Ness. Every year, many ask where are Loch Ness and around one million people visit to see this mystical monster, mainly for a glimpse of the Monster in the Loch known as Nessie. Google records show that over 200,000 surfers look for facts of the monster of Loch Ness every year.
However, many are of the view that this monster can be a plesiosaurus. It is a marine dinosaur that was said to have roamed the earth about 200M years ago. Over the years, as many as 1,000 recorded occasions exist that people had seen the Monster of the Loch Ness. This oldest popular legend of the Loch Ness Monster, however, lives on even now despite the proven records that it is just a hoax.
Hugh Grey first captured a photographic image of Nessie the monster in 1933. But people denied it as saying that it was a photo of the photographer's dog swimming in the Loch Ness carrying a stick in its mouth. After that, a physician in London called Robert Kenneth Wilson captured a photo of the monster. His became very famous and arguably it is the most viewed image of the legend around the world. As the physician refused to have his name support the photo, it was titled 'Surgeon's Photograph' when the Daily Mail published it on the April 21st in 1934.
However, The Sunday Telegraph also claimed in 1975 that the Surgeon's Photograph is also a fake. The book titled 'Nessie-the Surgeon's Photograph Exposed' published in 1999 says the photograph is of a toy with a neck and head. It said that this toy was still somewhere in the depth of the Loch Ness. However, in the 7th century, before all these events took place, the Life of St. Columba written by an abbot of Iona called Adomnan carried a report on the Monster of Loch Ness. After that that in 1870, one Dr. D. Mackenzie had claimed that he saw the monster in the Loch Ness.
Then onwards there have been numerous sightings of the monster. In 1933, a road was established that runs along the bank of Loch Ness. George Spicer had seen it in July 1933, and Arthur Grant riding a motorbike along the road had also seen it in August of the same year. On April 1 in 1972, newspapers had reported that the Monster of Loch Ness had died, but later it was revealed that the news published was an April fool's day story.
The latest report on the monster of Loch Ness became known in 2012. George Edwards, who had operated Loch Ness boat tours, announced that he saw the monster, but it later said that he used a fibreglass component to resemble the monster and had captured the image.

Bow80 was initially a MTB race over 80Kms, but as the weather is always bad this time of the year the organizers decided to change the course a bit and ended up been Bow65.
I woke up at around 5:00 am to have a good breakfast (Andy's favorite as I referred to it) wholewheat pancakes, peanut butter, bananas and strawberry yogurt ummm (only thing though is that my baby ate the last banana and my wife the last yogurt the night before and that ruined my breakfast plan... still love them though). Anyway, had my breakfast with all I have left and headed out to TimHortons for an extra large coffee. 6:30 am and I was parking my Rav across from Station Flats. Rode my bike to pick up the race package and went back the the car to get ready to race. With the unpredictable weather we have in this part of the world I tried to have a few extras in the bag I was going to have access to half way through the course, so I packed extra socks, gloves, rain jacket, water bottles, a sandwich and gels. As for the start, I was only wearing my jersey, vest and arm warmers (that should be enough I thought). 7:30 am and there we go, without knowing how long the race was going to be I tried to go as hard as I could. I was feeling good and strong and was pedaling with the lead group for a while. Right after powder face and into prairie creek trail there was this big and deep Beaver pond (oh my god was it dark and nasty), didn't see the line on the right side and tried to go through it as if I had a boat instead of a bike !! big mistake, upside down I found myself swimming in that nasty Beaver pond. I was freezing now with my socks and gloves all wet, it was going to be a miserable ride if I hadn't packed those extras in my bag a few kms away from me by that time.
2 hours in and 30kms into the race when I made it to the feed zone where I had my bag with all these dry stuff. Put on dry socks and gloves, grabbed another water bottle when I saw Andy and the two dead goat ss guys passing by. Back on the bike as soon as I could to catch those guys, but ss on a gravel road with Andy in the front?? I don't think it was very realistic for me to be able to catch him, I could see him getting away from me as time went by... Finally, we started to climb and I started to close that gap between Andy and me (my first target), the next step was catching those two dead goat ss guys (Tim and Pat). There was a lot of climbing up Powder Face and on the descend of course Andy passed me once again. Catching him up again was tough, and when I did it I flew over the bars and bang off the bike I went !! got on the bike in one piece and now needed to catch two guys instead on one.... At the top of the trail everything was so familiar, maybe because I have ridden Pneuma quite a few times, so I knew that the end was coming. I love Pneuma and on a fresh day I could ride it with no problem, but yesterday every hill seemed steeper. I was running and walking sections, on and off my bike. I managed to pass Andy and stayed away from him during the entire climb. Down Special K I knew he was going to catch me, so I rode as fast as I could and when I got to Tom Snow trail I knew I was safe. I pushed really hard those last 6kms and Andy is almost sure that he saw me at one point, I didn't even want to look back untill the last 1k when I looked and no one was behind me... Through the finish line in 5:04 and ready for the next race.

Good afternoon everyone! I am finally back! There have been some changes going on in my household plus my husband and I had our anniversary Thursday so I have been a little busy the past few days. Things are going great and I should be able to get back to posting almost every day.
Today I want to share another lovely blend I got from Polish Addict in our indie swap. Milky Way is a lovely white crelly base with matte white shards and tiny multi glitter hexes and equally tiny squares. Sometimes shards can be difficult to work with but not in this one. There was just enough to give it a unique look but not too much that it clumps. It's perfect! The glitter distributed wonderfully and was a really pleasure to work with. I used three coats to get a solid finish and then followed up with my Gelous…. and no I still haven't made it to Sally's to pick up a fresh bottles, eek!

Q: AWS free-tier instance port discrepancy from Security Group specifications My Ubuntu Server 11.04 free-tier instance security group opens SSH, HTTP, HTTPS to the public web and nothing else (not even the inter-group TCP/UDP/ICMP ports enabled by the default sec group).
But when I Nmap my server's public dns, it shows HTTP & HTTPS closed, with ftp (21), rtsp (554), and realserver (7070) all open.  This would, of course, explain why I can't view the website I'm running on that instance, so I need to fix it.
This is a cross-post from the AWS EC2 forum, but since I've got no replies yet, I'm hoping for better luck here.
my SecGroup (no other rules for UDP or ICMP):
TCP
Port (Service)  Source  Action
22 (SSH)    0.0.0.0/0   Delete
80 (HTTP)   0.0.0.0/0   Delete
443 (HTTPS) 0.0.0.0/0   Delete

Nmap:
kurtosis@kurtosis-laptop:~/bin/AWS$ nmap ec2-184-73-70-26.compute-1.amazonaws.com
Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-06-14 23:27 PDT

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 8.52 seconds

Why are http and https closed when my security group specifies they should be open, and why is ftp, rtsp, and realserver open when my security group does not include them at all? Anyone know why the discrepancy?

A: Are you sure your instance is a member of the security group you're modifying? In the EC2 Console you can see this by clicking on the Instance, it'll list the security groups it's a member of as "sg-12345".
Alternatively it may be an issue with just that instance - try terminating that instance and starting a new one to see if the problem persists.


It's a little scattershot, but Died Young, Stayed Pretty offers an entertaining, visually appealing look at the indie-rock poster art subculture.
Every rock band, from the most famous stadium-level superstars to the lowly beginners hobbling from one basement gig to the next in a rusty van, needs to let their fans know when and where they'll be playing, and since the late 1960's rock posters have gone from utilitarian advertising fliers to legitimate works of art. Since punk rock changed the rules of visual style in rock music and the rise of indie rock made irony and cultural appropriation key parts of the hipster lexicon, the style of rock posters has changed and a number of graphic artists have established international reputations for their work, in which they often present their own political and sociological statements in addition to publicizing concerts. Filmmaker Eileen Yaghoobian chats with some of the leading figures on the rock poster scene and examines the ideas and attitudes behind their work in the documentary Died Young, Stayed Pretty, which features interviews with Jay Ryan, Art Chantry, Mat Daly, Keith Herzik, Jeff Kleinsmith and many more. Featuring an original musical score by Mark Greenberg, Died Young, Stayed Pretty was an official selection at the 2008 Montreal World Film Festival.
Whenever the quaint, binary idea of a scrappy counterculture vs. The Man overshadows the personalities, craft, and musical context, the movie's an Adbusters bore.
Eileen Yaghoobian's documentary presents a lot of good art and entertaining personalities in a package that's diverting on a moment-to-moment basis, but lacks any organizing principal or precise point to make the whole cohere.
It soon becomes apparent that there's no real structure or point of view to it all.
The poster makers... mine the outer limits of violence and misogyny with a garish, pop art palette.
Suffer the perverse undertones and this is a fitting examination of a significant yet overlooked contemporary art form.
The equivalent of being trapped in the lift of an east London style magazine while the entire staff simultaneously shout their theories of civilisation at you, this documentary is that tragic thing.
Eileen Yaghoobian's fabulous debut doc is an inclusive look at the renaissance of poster art in the wake of punk and the rebirth of a defiant counterculture.
This is a mildly interesting documentary that takes at face value the claims made for their art by the naive nihilists who design jagged, violent and often obscene posters for local rock groups across North America.
Concentrated in such alterna-scenes as Boston, Austin, and Seattle, this repulsive bunch [of poster artists] exude more counter-culture geek clichés than Comic Book Guy.
Died Young is an entertaining film with sharp cultural observations that even dares to examine the collective American psychoses.
Are these cultural artifacts or just more trash littering the light posts and bulletin boards of your city? That all depends on the eye of the beholder.
It's a visually stunning film, even if the subject matter isn't hugely compelling.
There are no featured reviews for Died Young, Stayed Pretty at this time.

Q: Ambiguities in the energy-momentum tensor There is a problem 3.3 in Schwartz's QFT:

Ambiguities in the energy-momentum tensor:
(a) If you add a total derivative to Lagrangian ${\cal{L}} \rightarrow {\cal{L}} + \partial_\mu X^\mu$, how does the energy-momentum tensor change?
(b) Show that the total energy $Q = \int d^3x \; {\cal{T^{00}}}$ is invariant under such changes

Given the definition of energy-momentum tensor:
$$
{\cal{T}}^\mu{}_\nu = \sum_n \frac{\partial{\cal{L}}}{\partial \left( \partial_\mu \phi_n \right)} \partial_\nu \phi_n - g_{\mu\nu} {\cal{L}}
$$
It changes as:
$$
\delta {\cal{T}}^\mu{}_\nu =  \sum_n \left( \partial_\rho \frac{\partial{X^\rho}}{\partial \left( \partial_\mu \phi_n \right)} \right) \partial_\nu \phi_n - g_{\mu\nu} {\partial_\rho X^\rho}
$$
$T^{00}$ changes as:
$$
\delta {\cal{T}}^{00}= \sum_n \left( \partial_\rho \frac{\partial{X^\rho}}{\partial \dot{\phi_n}} \right) \dot{\phi_n} - \partial_\rho X^\rho
$$
From this point I'm stuck. The first term doesn't seem to disappear at all after integration over space, and the second disappears only partially:
$$
\int d^3x \; \dot{X^0}
$$
So even if I'd have assumed that $X$ depends on position, and not on the fields - the total energy doesn't seem to be invariant under it.
What is the best way to proceed forward with this?

At D.Boerse's request, NYSE talks began in August
By Edward Taylor
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Merger talks between Deutsche Boerse (DB1Gn.DE: Quote, Profile, Research) and NYSE Euronext (NYX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) went live in August last year at the request of the German exchange's Chief Executive Reto Francioni, regulatory filings released on Thursday show.
On August 2, 2010 senior management teams of Deutsche Boerse AG and NYSE Euronext met in New York "at the request of Mr. Francioni," to discuss the possibility of a transaction and "key next steps," an F-4 form filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shows.
Renewed impetus for the deal, which was signed on February 15 this year, came after sporadic contact between NYSE Euronext chief Duncan Niederauer and Francioni going back to the fall of 2008.
Under the plan, Deutsche Boerse would acquire the Big Board parent company for $10.2 billion in stock, creating the world's top financial exchange, with operations in the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal.
In early January 2011, executives from both companies including Niederauer, Francioni and their respective financial advisers met in Zurich "for the purposes of negotiating a transaction."
There in Switzerland, the concept of a dual headquarters arrangement was agreed, as well as a "combination of the two companies rather than the acquisition of one by the other."
The parties also reached a preliminary understanding on some of the responsibilities of the chief executive officer and the chairman of the combined company, the filings show.
By January 17, a draft of the terms of the transaction and governance structure was drawn up.
At a further meeting in New York on January 21, the parties reached agreement on the terms the new board of directors would serve.
By January 28, NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Boerse had provided each other access to an electronic data room for due diligence purposes, which allowed the management teams to meet in Amsterdam in early February to negotiate the business combination agreement, financial due diligence, and potential synergies that would flow from a deal.
The filings only make a passing reference to a rival offer for NYSE Euronext, made last week by Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ.O: Quote, Profile, Research) and IntercontinentalExchange Inc (ICE.N: Quote, Profile, Research).
"The NYSE Euronext board of directors held a meeting by telephone call that same day to receive initial briefing on receipt of the proposal, but no determination was made with respect to the proposal," the filing said.

I frequently hear that the state of our culture is an indictment of the church. Are you so absolutely sure? Jeremiah was a faithful man in his generation. He spoke the truth. The problem was, nobody would listen to him. Noah is called a preacher of righteousnes in the bible. The problem was, nobody would listen to him. Jesus was the light of the world in his generation and for all generations. The problem still is that the world loved darkness rather than light. Not enough of the Jewish people would listem to him and the promised judgement fell. So I would be a little more cautious about judging God's messengers, which we , the church now our. Many people, more than we will ever know, are faithful witnesses, but they do it quietly, under the radar screen. They witness as they have the opportunity, but not enough listen. So please stop beating the sheep. The seed is being planted, but as the parable would seem to indicate, three-fourths of it never reaches maturity. Please think about that the next time you sit down to write.
First off, the main premise of this man's response is spot-on. The world has shut its ears to the message that the Church is peddling; first-century Israel was no different in this regard: "He came unto His own and His own received Him not" (John 1:11). While I do not deny that the world doesn't listen when the Church speaks, we need to seriously ask ourselves if the Church is actually giving the Gospel? Is there more to the Gospel than "Jesus loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life?" Does the Church have a larger responsibility than witnessing "as they have the opportunity?" Is "they won't listen" a valid reason for the Church's ineffectiveness, or is it a self-perpetuating cycle?
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells his first-century audience that they are "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world" (Matt. 5:13-16). Unless someone wants to make the point that this passage only applies to those who were within earshot of Jesus on that day and no one else, we must make the connection that the Church is now the "salt and light" of which He spoke. If we make this connection, as I would hope that my email questioner would, we must take a closer look at this passage and try to determine what this means for us, nearly 2000 years later. First, we must realize that there is both a physical and a spiritual application to this passage. We are the salt "of the earth," but the light "of the world." Salt is something tangible and physical, while light is intangible and difficult to explain. In fact, modern science still can't decide if light is a particle, a wave, or both. For our purposes though, we can agree that salt has a physical application (seasoning and preserving) and light has a spiritual application (chasing away darkness).
Most modern exegesis of this well-known passage stops at this point. Even though this is enough to make our point that the Church is the moral compass and change agent of the culture at large, we would be dishonest if we didn't look deeper at the "salt" concept that Jesus uses as an example. In Leviticus 2:13 we read: "Every grain offering of yours, moreover, you shall season with salt, so that the salt of the covenant of your God shall not be lacking from your grain offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt." Also, in Numbers 18:19: "All the offerings of the holy gifts, which the sons of Israel offer to the LORD, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a perpetual allotment. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the LORD to you and your descendants with you." And in Ezekiel 43:24: "You shall present them before the LORD, and the priests shall throw salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to the LORD." These salt references from the OT involve offerings that the priestly class (the Levites) made for the people. In 2 Chronicles 13:5 we learn that the salt represents God's covenant: "Do you not know that the LORD God of Israel gave the rule over Israel forever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt?" The promise of His covenant with David is represented with salt. Jesus came from the line of David, yet even David calls Him Lord (Mark 12:35-37). The apostle Peter tells us that we (the Church) are the priests of the New Covenant (1 Peter 2:5-9), so our offerings should be covered with salt as well.
But what about the light? In Proverbs 4:18 we read: "But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day." If we read back earlier in this proverb we find Solomon contrasting the darkness of the wicked with the light of the righteous. Similarly, we find a promise of the conquering mission of "the light" in Isaiah 58: "Then your light will break out like the dawn, and your recovery will speedily spring forth; and your righteousness will go before you; the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard… Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the age-old foundations; and you will be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets in which to dwell" (Is. 58:8, 12).

Untold story of how Boko Haram overrun Nigerian soldiers, massacre hundreds in Borno
byOla' Audu
Dressed in full military fatigue and armed with anti-aircraft guns, rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) and a fleet of armoured tanks that they stole from Nigerian soldiers, the Boko Haram insurgents now stage bolder attacks and even overrun federal troops in northeast Nigeria.
There are fears that the continued attacks on the military and the looting of arms by Boko Haram also threatens the fragile peace being enjoyed by residents of Maiduguri in the past three months. There are also concerns that Boko Haram's continued attacks on towns and villages located around a 100 km radius of Maiduguri, could possibly weaken the defence around the capital city.
In the past month, Boko Haram has carried out several gory attacks on both civilians and soldiers on the five major routes that lead in or out of Maiduguri, and these point of attacks are all less than 80km away from, Maiduguri.
Last Tuesday, Boko Haram gunmen, in their hundreds, staged their second attack in a week on the town of Benisheik, 75 km away from Maiduguri. They left at least 140 persons either injured or dead. About a hundred homes and businesses premises were burnt and scores of vehicles, including military tanks, looted.
PREMIUM TIMES visited Benisheik and interviewed some eyewitness and victims of that bloody attack.
Carnage on the road
A commercial cab driver, Sani Babayo, said it was another day of horror along the Kano-Maiduguri Highway.
"We thought they were soldiers because their uniforms, vehicles and guns suggested so," recalled Mr. Babayo. "But when they ordered us to come down from the vehicle and began to ask if we are residents of Maiduguri, it immediately dawned on us that we had fallen into the hands of Boko Haram.
"After separating the women and girls from the group, they ordered the men to run into the bush for our lives. No sooner had we started running than they opened fire on us. I saw many of my passengers fall after being hit by flying bullets. I kept running for my dear life until I was out of their range of fire."
Mr. Babayo, who looked dishevelled with tell-tale bruises on his skin and blistered feet, was among few of the very lucky travellers who escaped the Tuesday carnage. Many did not.
Most of the victims were those who had gone to make phone calls in the neighbouring Yobe State capital, Damaturu, 136 km from Maiduguri.
For four months now, telecom lines have been grounded as a security strategy to combat Boko Haram. Residents of Borno State, since the restoration of phones lines in Yobe State, had had to travel over there to make calls.
A young woman, Sarah Hyeladi, was returning to Maiduguri from Damaturu, where she and her elder brother, Markus, had gone to make phones calls when they encountered gunmen. Ms. Hyeladi was lucky but her elder brother was not.
"When our vehicle was stopped at about 6 p.m., and we saw how those ahead were being shot at, Markus and I had to run into the bush, but suddenly some uniformed gunmen appeared from the bush and ordered us to go back," Ms. Hyeladi recalled.
"We had to comply because one man was pointing a big gun at us. As we were going towards where people were being killed, one of the gunmen dragged Markus and put a knife on his neck. Before I could beg them to spare him, my brother was writhing on the floor in a pool of his own blood."
"Many people died from bullet wounds but a lot were killed by something that looked like an electric saw; the moment they put it on a person's neck, the head will go off," said a middle aged woman who was spared.
"They asked us to get out of the vehicle and ordered the men to start running into the bush, then they would shoot at them," said the woman who wouldn't say her name.
"They were heartless and wicked in the way they took people's lives. Most of them speak Hausa, some Kanuri but others who don't look like Nigerians speak some foreign language,"she said.
Fleeing soldiers
A soldier in Benisheik said they could not stand the superior fire power of Boko Haram.
"They were using anti-aircraft guns while we were using AK47 rifles and some RPGs. They came in droves driving about 20 pickup trucks accompanied by two light armored tankers, all wearing our military colours – desert-camo . We had to retreat to our base to reinforce after running out of arms. But they followed us down there, surrounded our base and began to to shell our building. We couldn't stand the heat of their superior fire power. We had to retreat into the village after they killed two of our soldiers and three policemen. They left with an armoured tanker and four military patrol trucks," the soldier said.
At the palace of the district head of Benisheik, where vehicles were taken away and one burnt, a staff, Abacha Wakil, narrated to journalists how the gunmen attacked and beheaded people in the village.
"The Boko Haram gunmen invaded the town at about 7:45 p.m., after attacking the military base at the outskirts of the town. The soldier ran to us here at the palace of the District Head and warned us to run for our dear lives. They said they had ran out of ammunition and the terrorists are carrying sophisticated arms.
"No sooner had the soldiers warned us than the Boko Haram gunmen arrived in droves; all dressed in military uniforms and carrying guns. They came in about 30 vehicles. We had to run for our lives. I took refuge inside the millet plantation near the District Head's palace. The gunmen spread out and began to shoot and set houses ablaze. They did not leave until about 3:30 am. We all spent the night inside the bush. In the morning, we found that they had beheaded 14 persons, mostly those in the Civilian-JTF, and left with at least 21 vehicles and a Tata truck filled with food items looted from the shops they also set ablaze."
Mr. Wakil said most of the young men killed were beheaded.
"Their bodies were completely separated from their bodies. The death could have been more if the soldiers had not run down to warn us in good time that we should run for dear lives."
Headless corpses
Environmental health workers, who continued to pick corpses even as late as Friday, said they could not venture into the bushes to search for dead bodies.
"We only pick those not far away from the road sides. We understand most of them died while running away from bullets while others were found without their heads. Even if we later found the heads we often don't know which head belonged to whom.
"We believe there could be more corpses ahead in the bush because others could have ran further before they died. But after today, Thursday, their bodies cannot be picked because even the ones we had picked now have decompsed already," said the Environmental official who declined mentioning his name for official reasons.
Some of the corpses that were conveyed to Maiduguri could not be identified because they either had their heads cut off or their faces shattered by bullets.
It was an emotional sight when the daughter of a woman, who had given up searching for the body of their father, suddenly pointed at a swollen decapitated body shouting, "Mummy, this is daddy's shoe, this is daddy,"
And when the mother searched the pockets of the headless corpse, they found her husband's ID card. The woman and her daughter caused everyone gathered to shed tears when the daughter tearfully asked, "Daddy where is your head?"
Hundreds of residents have since fled Benisheik in fear of another possible attack.
"If they could walk over soldiers and send them running for their lives, who are we to remain here?" Bala Sanusi, a local butcher said.
Promises and compensation
Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, who visited the village on Thursday, pleaded for residents to remain in their homes and not to flee. He said more security would be provided to guard the community.
He approved the sum of N50 million for the reconstruction of the damaged towns, while the sum of N250,000 would be given as compensation to the family of the 14 people slain in the village.
The Brigade Commander of Borno State, Muhammed Yusuf, explained to the few confused villagers that the army did not abandon them, but only left to get more arms after running out of the ones they had.
There are lots of concerns by embattled residents of Borno State who see the Federal Government as playing lip service to the issue of insecurity. Many had wondered why the almighty Nigeria Army still found it so difficult dealing with Boko Haram once and for all.
Many are of the view that the military hierarchy, although losing personnel and equipment, are making huge pocket-lining gains out of the monies the Federal Government is pumping into the state towards tackling the violence and insecurity.
The Borno State House of Assembly, on Friday, faulted the way the Federal Government was dealing with the situation. The lawmakers felt the situation was getting worse; particularly, with the increasing attacks.
They urged the Federal Government to step up its act by giving the military a marching order to utilise modern and appropriate equipment and technology to solve the Boko Haram crisis once and for all.
A top public affairs commentator, who does not want to be named for fear he might be targeted by the military, told PREMIUM TIMES, "We, as group of concerned citizens, are compiling our dossier on how the military hierarchy may have been feeding fat on these crisis from the billions of naira federal government spends to end the insurgency."
