Creamy risotto is so satisfying. Turn leftovers into delicious rice cakes using our tips below.
Place broth in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, coat a large saucepan with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Add1 teaspoon butter and cook until melted.
Add onion; cook, stirring, until onion begins to caramelize, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release moisture, about 5 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; reduce liquid by half, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside.
Add remaining teaspoon of butter to same pan; cook until melted. Add rice; stir to coat with butter. Pour about 1/2 cup warm broth into rice; stir to keep grains from sticking to sides of pan. Keep stirring until all of broth is absorbed. Add another 1/2 cup warm broth and repeat process. Keep adding broth and stirring in this manner until all of broth is used and rice is just cooked but not mushy (should still be slightly chewy), about 18 to 20 minutes.
Stir in vegetables and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in parsley. Yields about 1 1/3 cups per serving.
To make rice cakes out of leftover risotto, press risotto into bottom of a small container; place in refrigerator. In the next day or two, remove risotto in one piece and cut into several slices. "Fry" risotto slices in a pan, coated with cooking spray and a little olive oil, until a light crust forms. Serve with roasted or steamed vegetables over the top (could change SmartPoints value).

In this dissertation we propose a new model which captures observed features of asset prices. The model reproduces the skewness and fat tails of asset returns by introducing a discretized variance gamma process as the driving innovation process, in addition to a double gamma process to reflect the stochastic nature of volatility coefficients. The leverage effect between returns and volatilities is built in by a polynomial function describing the relationship between these two variables. One application of this model is to price volatility contracts whose payoffs depend on realized variance or volatility. Because of the scarcity of market quotes and consequent unavailability of risk neutral calibration, we propose a new scheme of pricing based on the model estimated from historical data. The estimation of the model parameters is carried out by maximizing likelihood function, which is calculated through a combination of Expectation-Maximization and Particle Filter algorithm. The resulting distribution is transformed by concave distortions, the extent of which reflects the risk aversion level of market.

Gov. Snyder signs Michigan lame-duck bills opposed by environmentalists
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed several environmental bills in his last days in office

LANSING — Gov-elect Gretchen Whitmer could face new obstacles in trying to deliver on bold campaign promises to clean up Michigan's waters.
That's after Gov. Rick Snyder signed a bill into law Friday making it tougher for state agencies to craft regulations stricter than those of the federal government.
Snyder, a Republican, also signed legislation that 82 Department of Environmental Quality staffers urged him not to: a measure they say weakens standards for cleaning up the state's thousands of toxic sites. He also signed legislation to allow development on smaller wetlands.
They were just three of more than 200 bills Snyder signed or vetoed late Friday, clearing his desk before Whitmer, a Democrat, takes the oath of office on Jan. 1. Among them were signed measures that were most loudly opposed by environmentalists, who arguing in recent weeks that Snyder could repair a legacy stained by the Flint water crisis by vetoing them.
At the same time, however, Snyder, whose administration was found primarily to blame for the Flint disaster, signed legislation that will send $69 million a year toward toxic cleanups — to replenish a tapped-out fund. That was on top of about $20 million to address the chemical contaminants PFAS.
No-stricter-than federal
House Bill 4205 bans state agencies from creating new regulations stricter than Washington's unless an agency shows a "clear and convincing" need due to "exceptional circumstances."
The bill applies to all agencies, but exempts rulemaking related to special education. (The legislation also exempts temporary rules adopted during emergencies.) The Farm Bureau, Michigan Manufacturers Association and other supporters say will help Michigan attract and maintain businesses that want uniform standards — by requiring agencies to justify their regulations.
Snyder agreed.
"The governor noted his administration has worked tirelessly to eliminate more than 3,000 unnecessary rules. It is appropriate for state agencies to take extra care in justifying regulatory decisions when adding rules," his office said in a statement. "These rules and regulations are still allowed to be more stringent than federal law when accompanied by the appropriate explanation and support."
But critics call the "clear and convincing" standard a high bar to meet in court, and contended the rule would make agencies more vulnerable to litigation. And some see it as power grab in the lame-duck session that will limit Whitmer's powers and her ability to craft unique solutions to Michigan's problems — including the industrial contamination being found in drinking water.
On Thursday, before the bill became law, Whitmer told reporters she was "very concerned" about the bill and told Snyder as much.
She echoed her concerns in a statement Friday, saying the bill "takes away the ability of the executive branch to consider assets and challenges unique to Michigan when determining rules meant to protect our citizens."
An open question is how the bill will affect rulemaking on PFAS contamination, which is increasingly showing up in Michigan waters. A scientific panel assembled by Snyder released a report this month suggesting Michigan's cleanup criteria for certain PFAS chemicals — 70 parts per trillion (ppt) — may need tightening to protect public health.
Democrats and environmentalists see obstacles in tightening PFAS standards under the law, because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has no standards on the once-common chemicals used in a host of materials from non-stick cookware to firefighting foam.
But the bill sponsor — Rep. Triston Cole, R-Mancelona — has said his measure will not impede state action on PFAS — or on other contaminants where there is no federal criteria, even though the bill Snyder signed on Friday does not explicitly say so.
Snyder's office said it believed the bill will not affect rulemaking on PFAS.
Toxic cleanup overhaul
Meanwhile, Snyder signed into law Senate Bill 1244, an overhaul of state standards for cleaning up toxic sites, over the loud objections of dozens of state DEQ employees.
At issue is how Michigan regulators update toxicity values for hundreds of chemicals at some 7,000 polluted sites statewide, nearly half of which are likely "orphans,"meaning the original polluter is gone and taxpayers must pay for cleanups.
The values are necessary to determine when a site is safe, and research on health hazards of toxins is continually evolving
Sen. Jim Stamas, R-Midland, sponsored the legislation and contends the state's current process lacks clarity and discourages developers. The new process, he and supporters say, will return sites to tax rolls sooner and still protect public health.
The legislation requires the DEQ to use chemical toxicity values from a U.S. Environmental Protection database – unless the agency undergoes a lengthy process that includes public notices and meetings with "stakeholders."
Industry groups including the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and the Michigan Chemistry Council back the measure, saying it gives companies more clarity on cleanups.
But in a rare public plea for a veto earlier this month, 82 DEQ staffers wrote the bill would "threaten the health and safety of the people of Michigan" and solely benefit the polluters who are pushing the measure.
"Michigan's citizens ... will have a false sense of security at best and at worst, their health and environment will be impaired and the cost of the cleanups in the future will become their burden as well as the burden of their children and great grandchildren," the DEQ staffers wrote in a letter.
Wetland protections
Senate Bill 1211, signed by Snyder Friday, will remove development protections on some smaller wetlands.
As originally written, the bill would have allowed development on as many as 550,000 acres of wetlands and 4,200 of Michigan's 11,000 lakes. But the bill underwent significant changes before it was signed by Snyder early Friday, and now fewer wetlands would lose protections (although an exact number isn't now known.)
Sponsors say the bill would protect property owners from overzealous regulations. Opponents originally called the bill an assault on the environment, though changes prompted some conservation groups to turn neutral on the bill.
Money for cleanups
Whitmer's incoming administration, however, should avert a funding crisis for toxic cleanups. That's after Snyder signed into law part of a budget deal that will create a $69 million "Renew Michigan' program to tackle that challenge and bolster recycling programs.
It comes as the state's chief funding source for toxic cleanups — a $675 million bond voters approved 20 years ago — has run dry.
Under the new law, $45 million each year will flow to toxic cleanups, and $24 million will go to recycling and landfill oversight, which Snyder hopes will boost Michigan's worst-in-region recycling rate.
Separately, Snyder signed into law a $1.3 billion supplemental budget that included roughly $20 million to address PFAS. That includes funding for drinking water infrastructure, mapping contaminated sites and conducting public health investigations.
"As we continue to build a stronger foundation for Michigan's future, it's critical that we invest in improvements to our environment and infrastructure," Snyder said in a statement.

There is an awful lot of fake news in this article.
john chastain
Ignorance can be a heavy burden, perhaps you should shed yours. Or perhaps its the Michigan chamber and the chemical councils self serving and duplicitous statements of support for allowing more poisonous waste to be generated and remain behind that you find "fake"? When it affects you personally will it be "fake" still? That's the thing about environmental protection its loss doesn't respect political boundaries or opinions about the accuracy of "news".

If we could only turn your ignorance into electricity, we could power Michigan for the rest of the century.
You don't grasp the limited knowledge the regulators have, without the collaboration of the private businesses [those who must apply the regulations everyday] there would be no protection in Michigan.
Do you understand how infrequently new regulations are written or old ones revised, the state cannot develop let alone maintain the necessary expertise to write regulations. When the issue is chemicals that requires toxicology, do appreciate the education and experience it takes to be an effective toxicologist?
Each regulation is to regulate everyday activities, there is no way the regulators [compliance officers and regulations writers] can learn the everyday practices they are regulating without the knowledge of the private companies.
You are so quick to condemn private businesses, and yet the worst polluter in size and severity is the US government [see DoD sites]. In2015 with the million gallon toxic spill in Animas River, from an EPA site, the Head of the EPA and DoJ showed their disregard for the environment and their own laws. The government made no effort to protect the towns and their drinking water systems as the spill went down stream. No matter what you think of Enbridge, they did cleanup their spill to the tune of a billion dollars, the EPA violated laws [were never prosecuted] and paid for none of the cleanup.
I agree ignorance is a heavy burden and you repeatedly show how that weight prevents you from thinking,
We need regulations, they should be performance driven not control driven, they should be driven by knowledge and understanding not emotions and headlines [how much science/chemistry education do reporters have?] and they should be a collaboration of regulators, the public, and those regulated.

Please elaborate-otherwise your statement is pointless.
What about Tom Casperson's proposal to limit small wetland protection and allow more radioactivity in dumps? Did they pass? I hope not.
Alex Sagady
SB 1195/1196 to allow higher amounts of TENORM radioactive wastes in
ordinary Michigan landfills both passed.
SB 1211, the wetlands destruction bill, also passed. SB 1211 eliminates
protections for wetlands less than 5 acres that are provided in present law
upon a finding by MDEQ. Because of changes to the definition of "wetlands"
in SB 1211, the bill eliminates protections for certain types of forested wetlands
that do not have hydric soils and that are no longer listed as critical wetland types.
SB 1211 chains Michigan's wetland definition to Federal Clean Water Act definitions
thus eliminating presently protected wetlands types. New revisions proposed by
the Trump Administration to federal CWA definitions of waters of the United States
will also eliminate protection to wetlands areas now afforded by current Michigan
law before SB 1211's passage and signing by Snyder.
SB 1211 contains a provision likely to interfere with MDEQ wetlands enforcement
actions by restricting such enforcement activities and providing for awards of
costs for expert wetlands consultants to petitioners to MDEQ.
SB 1211 added new definitions of impaired or degraded wetlands, and other
wetlands amendments in HB 5854/5855 (which were signed by Snyder) will potentially conflict with Section
404 of the Clean Water Act.
Exactly what in this article do you claim is "fake news"? If you can't substantiate your claim, then you're just creating more "fake news"!
What is it about clean air and water and a sound environment that Republicans don't like? Neither water nor air are inert. Republicans are never concerned about these things unless it affects them directly.
Snyder passes the PFAS over people bill.


Let's assume the United States spoke English and only English. The country is sealed off and kept in a bubble with 0 immigration or emigration. No news, no culture, nothing.
Would English still be the language after 100 years? Would regional dialects eventually evolve into totally different languages?
And if they do change, how long could that take? Are their other factors that could make a walled of culture develop different languages?
Yes, English will still be English.
With the advent of national TV, regionalization of language has virtually stopped. As long as people have a common media to communicate, they are not going to invent local dialects. The language will be changing, but it will be evolving as a whole. 100 years should change it very little.
Having said that, different social groups may proceed to develop their own dialects. Look at the texting teenagers and their technology-challenged parents, for example. The latter sometimes have no idea what the younger generation is talking about. Ex. Read Books, Get Brain. But this is a normal process, slang has always been a part of a language, and it has only little effect on the development of language as a whole.
Isolating that U.S. of A. culturally, politically, and commercially from the rest of the world would have a barely noticeable effect on the speed of evolution of the American language.
All languages evolve. Linguistic evolution cannot be stopped. It can be slowed down. Mass literacy and pervasise nation-wide news and communication media are factors which tend to slow down the speed of language evolution.
American English does not have regional dialects. There are regional differences in pronounciation, but that's benign and expected in a country as large as the U.S.A. On the other hand, American English does have cultural dialects, also known as sociolects. For example, Black Vernacular English is a strongly marked dialect, which some will say it's well on its way towards becoming a separate language altogether; it already has specific grammatical features which distinguish it from standard American English.
American English is already visibly different from other varieties of English, such as, for example, Indian English or Australian English. One century of isolation will only increase the differences. At what point it will become generally agreed that American and European International English are two different languages is partially a political and cultural question.
For example, in South Africa, Dutch became Afrikaans, in about two centuries. Everybody agrees that Dutch and Afrikaans are two very closely related yet different languages.
To make American split into two or more daughter languages you need to split the U.S.A. into two or more countries which don't communicate much; a sort of a cold war would help. If you cannot or will not split the U.S.A., then lowering the rate of literacy and breaking up national news networks will help too. Isolation does not have to be absolute; all that's need it to make sure that the average person from, for example, Seattle doesn't ever communicate with a person from, for example, Dallas. You do need to keep up this isolation for ten generations or so.
Each successive generation speaks a language which is slightly different from the language of their parents. The difference is small, but it's real and measurable. If two linguistic communities are relatively isolated from each other, that is, members of one community don't have to communicate much with members of the other, then in time those differences will accumulate and result in two closely related yet different languages. If the isolation is maintained then the distance between the two daughter languages will grow to the point where communication becomes impossible without translation.
If you can imagine a way to divide the U.S.A. into two or three relatively isolated linguistic communities you may well end up with a situation where each such linguistic community speaks its own language, with educated people speaking standard American English in addition to their local language.
Can a single language have two separate dialects spoken in a single location?

Комбинированная лицензия на строительство и эксплуатацию (Combined Construction and Operating License, Regulatory Guide 1.206, COL) —  процесс лицензирования новых атомных электростанций в Соединенных Штатах, заменил ранее существовавший документ Draft Regulatory Guide 1145. Это часть более нового «оптимизированного» процесса, который поощряет стандартные конструкции установок и предотвращает задержки в работе, которые способствовали консервации многих установок с 1980-х годов. «Комбинированная лицензия разрешает строительство и условную эксплуатацию атомной электростанции. Заявка на комбинированную лицензию должна содержать по существу ту же информацию, которая требуется в заявке на лицензию на эксплуатацию, выданную в соответствии с 10 CFR Part 50, включая финансовую и антимонопольную информацию и оценку потребности в энергии. В заявке также должны быть описаны проверки, испытания, анализы и критерии приемки (inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria, ITAAC), которые необходимы для обеспечения надлежащего процесса строительства и безопасной работы».

Ранее процесс лицензирования состоял из двух этапов: разрешения на строительство и лицензия на эксплуатацию, каждый из которых требовал подачи и рассмотрения отдельной заявки.

COL может ссылаться на Раннее разрешение на строительство (ESP), стандартную сертификацию проекта (DC), а также на то и другое или ни на что из перечисленного. ESP относится к месту, на котором будет построена установка, а DC описывает конструкцию реактора. COL должна содержать информацию, содержащейся в ESP или DC, если она не ссылается на них.

Всего было выдано семь COL (одна заявка  находится на стадии рассмотрения), пять ESP (одна заявка на стадии рассмотрения), шесть Сертификатов на разработку (Design Certification) (один находится на рассмотрении возобновления, три на стадии рассмотрения).

Help Stop Decline in Bees
Freya Pigott spoke to ITV about her Fixers campaign
Horticulturalist Zena Robson says gardeners can plant flowers which attract bees
With Fixers, the group created a leaflet showing people how they can help bees
'Bees are so important because they pollinate 75 per cent of our crops. That means a lot of our food sources wouldn't be there if we didn't have bees.'
News that the bee population is in decline – and could pose potential risks to major crops - has prompted a teenager from Wiltshire to take action.
Freya Pigott, 18, has made a booklet with Fixers to show people just how important bees are to 70 types of crops in the UK, which rely on bees to pollinate them.
She spoke to ITV News West about her Fixers project on Thursday, August 4.
Freya, from Devizes, says: 'It explains the challenges facing bees along with some ideas of what people can do to help.'
She is urging gardeners to take simple measures, such as growing nectar-rich flowers, to help bees.
The 18-year-old enlisted the help of some students from St John's school in Marlborough, and as part of their research they spoke to a beekeeper about the decline in the bee population.
Incredibly, Robert Carpenter Turner reported that bees are more active in London than the countryside due to a proliferation of gardens with flowers, as opposed to crops.
He says: 'I kept bees in London where there are thousands of gardens full of flowers, and I used to average around 150 pounds of honey per colony.
'If you look around here, in the country, you'll see acres of corn but not many places to forage for the bees.
'As a result, I only average about 30 pounds of honey per colony here.'

The group went on to speak to horticulturist Zena Robson for advice on what to plant in the garden to attract bees.
'Generally speaking you are looking for simple, open flowers where a bee can land easily, and where there's easy access to pollen and nectar,' says Zena.
'Single dahlias are a good example but there are lots more. Another favourite are tubular flowers, like foxgloves, where a bee can get inside and rummage around.'
For Freya, there's a wider message to her project.
She says: 'In today's world, where we live so much though our phones and online, I think people often forget about the actual physical world we live in and the nature that surrounds us.
'We're part of a cycle and a community, and as humans living here, we've got to take responsibility.'

Detroit Red Wings' Riley Sheahan brings size at center, should develop offensively
Helene St. James
Deep into the NHL off-season, we take an analytical look at individual Red Wings and assesses expectations for the coming season.
Today's focal point: Forward Riley Sheahan
Looking at numbers: Had nine goals and 15 assists for 24 points in 42 games. Was without a point in five playoff games.
Looking at money: Freshly signed to a two-year deal worth $1.9 million.
Looking back: Made first appearance up from the minors in mid-December, playing in four games. Re-appeared for good in mid-January, soon establishing himself as a solid second-line center between Tomas Tatar and Tomas Jurco. Displayed more willingness to play with the puck after achieving comfort level at NHL level, and finished off regular season with goals in three straight games. Was quiet offensively in the first-round series against Boston, but played very well defensively while seeing a lot of minutes against David Krejci, one of the Bruins' best centers.
Looking ahead: Sheahan, 22, spent most of his time last season as second-line center by default, as the position was decimated by injuries to Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg, Stephen Weiss and more. Sheahan enters this season's camp already on the roster, but he'll have to contend for minutes with more established teammates. Presuming everyone is healthy, and that the Wings opt to play Zetterberg and Datsyuk together, the depth down the middle includes Datsyuk, Weiss, Darren Helm, Joakim Andersson and Luke Glendening. The latter two can play wing, though, while Sheahan is best suited to stay at center.
Among Sheahan's assets are his size (6-feet-2, 210-plus pounds) and the attention to defensive-zone play instilled in him during his years at Notre Dame and continued at Grand Rapids. Both make it realistic to pit him against opposing team's bigger centers
Sheahan would do well to focus on developing offensively, because he clearly can maneuver with the puck. If Weiss is able to center the second line, as he was brought in to do, Sheahan would benefit from being out against the other team's lesser defenders. He could center what would have the potential to be a very capable third line.

Q: Storing JS objects along with prototypes, instance types etc Is it possible to essentially archive the state of a JS object, beyond what would be serialised if you were to produce a JSON string from it?
Thinking in terms of saving state in a game, and loading it back into window on a separate occasion.

A: The easiest way to do it would be to serialize the object, and then recreate it from the serialized data:
function AnObject(number, string) {
  this.number = number;
  this.string = string;
  this.add = function(){number++};
}
var initialObject = new AnObject(1, 'a');
var serialized = JSON.stringify(initalObject);
//Gives {"number": 1, "string": "a"}

var parsed = JSON.parse(serialized);
var recreated = new AnObject(parsed.number, parsed.string);
//Is the same as initialObject

You can serialize functions if you want:
function serializeFunction(f) {
  var string = f.toString();
  return string.substring(string.indexOf('{')+1, string.length - 1);
}
var func = function(){alert(1)};

A: json string can't contain functions, constructors ... I think what you need to do is to define a class where you can find all the methods you need, and then you can instanciate your object from the json data you get. here is a simple example :
function Stats (options) {

     this.a = options.a;
     this.b = options.b;
     this.toString = function () { return this.a + ' ' + this.b; };
     this.toJSON = function () { return { a : this.a , b : this.b }; };
     // Methods

     return this;
}

in this case , whenever you get your json data, you just need to instanciate your object
var stats = new Stats (JSON);
console.log(stats.toString());

Breast cancer: Hundreds of chemicals identified as potential risk factors
Researchers find nearly 300 chemicals linked to breast cancer-contributing hormones in everyday products, and call for a renewed focus on women's exposure risks.
Elizabeth Gribkoff
Researchers have identified almost 300 chemicals in everything from hair dye to pesticides that can increase levels of breast cancer-contributing hormones.
Of those chemicals, 219 had not been previously identified as potential carcinogens, Ruthann Rudel, director of research for the Silent Spring Institute and co-author of the new study, told EHN. The findings come in a study out this week in Environmental Health Perspectives.
While scientists have known for decades that higher levels of estrogen and progesterone are linked to breast cancer, experts say that safety screening to test U.S. consumer products rarely looks at how chemicals affect the production of those hormones.
"The way that chemicals are tested now, they are really missing breast-related effects," said Rudel. "We have to do a much better job checking for these effects when we test chemicals."
Environmental chemicals and hormone production

Scientists have historically used animal studies to understand whether chemicals pose a threat to humans. Animal studies take time and money, though, leading researchers and regulators to increasingly use high-throughput tests to more quickly screen chemicals for hormone disruption and other potentially disease-inducing effects. With these high-throughput tests, researchers expose cells and other molecules to chemicals to see whether they trigger any changes.
Researchers from the Silent Spring Institute, a non-profit that studies the environmental causes of breast cancer, decided to look through 2018 EPA ToxCast safety data on roughly 1,800 chemicals to see how many caused cells to increase estrogen and progesterone.
Laura Vandenberg, associate professor of environmental health sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who was not involved in the study, told EHN that one of the characteristics toxicologists commonly look for is whether a chemical mimics estrogen. To date, though, there has been little focus on whether chemicals could actually cause cells to produce more estrogen or progesterone.
Related: Pesticide DDT linked to increased breast cancer risk generations after exposure
Rudel and a colleague found that 296 chemicals increased one or both of the hormones. Some of the hormone-increasing chemicals include the pesticide atrazine, the fungicide imazalil, and hair dye ingredient 1-4, benzenediamine. Vandenberg said she was disturbed but not shocked to see that so many of these chemicals increase hormone production in cells as "many of these chemicals (like pesticides) were designed to be biologically active."
The Silent Spring researchers then looked through carcinogen and reproductive toxicity databases, like California's Prop 65 list, to see which of these chemicals were already on those lists. The researchers found that roughly a third had been identified as carcinogenic, toxic to development and reproduction, or both. But they also found that many of the chemicals on their list "hadn't been tested or evaluated," for impacts to those systems, Rudel said.
Scientists have known for some time now that estrogen and progesterone contribute to breast cancer because both hormones stimulate breast cell growth, increasing the risk of uncontrolled cell growth and DNA damage. Around 70% of breast cancer cases respond to these hormones, and treatment for this disease commonly involves using drugs that inhibit estrogen.
"What we know is that a woman's own production of estrogen is actually one of the biggest risk factors for breast cancer," Vandenberg said, adding that early puberty and delayed menopause, which give the body more time to produce estrogen, have been linked to higher rates of breast cancer.
Women's health focus
"My worry is that women's health always gets sort of short shrift," University of Massachusetts Amherst researcher Laura Vandenberg told EHN. (Credit: Vonecia Carswell/Unsplash)
Rudel said that their list of hormone-increasing chemicals provides a good starting point for both toxicity and human exposure research. "There hasn't been a super systematic approach to what chemicals should be studied in breast cancer (epidemiological) studies," she added.
The researchers also found that even for chemicals that had been previously scrutinized, past risk often didn't look at or dismissed mammary gland impacts. For example, although a multi-generational toxicology study showed that exposure to dichlorophenol, a chemical in some pesticides and disinfectants, stiffened and whitened breast tissue in all doses, the authors of that study didn't take those effects into consideration when determining what a safe dose of that chemical is.
And a lot of the animal tests used by regulators only look at a couple of the hundreds of ducts in the mammary gland, which is "treated as sufficient—and it's not," Vandenberg said.
"My worry is that women's health always gets sort of short shrift, and there's a little bit of an attitude of breast cancer as a disease of the old, and therefore, it's not a priority for regulatory agencies," she said, stressing that no one at those agencies had actually said that.
How to limit your chemical exposure
Researchers also don't have a great sense of how we're exposed to many of the chemicals on the list, Rudel added.
Silent Spring has a mobile app, Detox Me, that allows people to scan consumer product barcodes and other features to try to minimize their exposure to toxic chemicals.

The Good Book
I have been remiss in not mentioning that this past fall a fine anthology of essays was released by Simon & Schuster – The Good Book: Writers Reflect on Favorite Bible Passages, edited by Andrew Blauner. Thirty-two writers of various stripes (Pico Iyer, Rick Moody, Al Sharpton, Colm Tóibín, Tobias Wolff, Lowis Lowry, Edwidge Dandicat, etc.) were asked to choose their favorite bible passages and then explain themselves. The results, kindly arranged in their Biblical order, provide an eclectic, intriguing, troubling, instructive, and at times enlightening companion to the book they tribute. I was honored to contribute an entry as well. I chose a passage from the New Testament about John the Baptist because, well, I kind of figured that's why I'd been asked.
Now that the winter shopping season has passed, but you may have twenty or so dollars still left on your gift cards, I am offering my essay here below, gratis, as an example of the sort of thing you may find in the larger volume, with the caveat that my piece is admittedly a little bookish and contains a few more names and incidents than an essay of its length should probably have tried to cram into itself. (l have done you the favor of removing all the footnotes, but they are available to anyone who purchases the Blauner anthology.) That said, if you do find yourself in the mood for a slightly wonky discussion of the spiritual and literary intelligence behind the gospel's depiction of John the Baptist, one that probably assumes more biblical conversance than you may currently possess or want to possess, but which I nonetheless do believe redeems itself with some little late-inning magic, look no further.
In exchange for that coffee-cup of concentration, let me also assure the reader of this (but mostly myself) that yes, I will get 'round to offering something other than John-related material. And soon. In fact, at the risk of sounding way too much like J.D. Salinger right before we never heard from him again, I have in my garden writing shed right now no fewer than 4 book-length manuscripts all champing at the bit to reveal themselves to someone's eyeballs other than my own. A little more taming is likely in order, but until such time as I set them loose, please accept the following bowl of porridge as token of my ongoing affection. It will be good for you, I promise, and if you wanted to add a little butter and brown sugar, my feelings wouldn't be hurt.
The Womb and the Cistern Cell
Now when John in prison heard about the deeds of Christ,
he sent word by his disciples and said to him, "Are you the one
who is to come, or shall we look for another?"
As vivid a character as he may be—with his ragged camel-skin cloak, his diet of locusts and honey, and his howling sermon-diatribes—there is legitimate cause to doubt the portrayal of John the Baptist in the Gospels, especially once one understands that John is a required element of Jesus's narrative.
Remember, the evangelists lived in the grip of a highly prophetic mind-set. There was nothing the prophets had not seen, nothing that had not been foretold—or nothing of significance to the children of Abraham anyway. If one wanted one's words or actions to be taken seriously as part of that legacy, they had on some level to be seen as a fulfillment of the word of the prophets. And the prophets had been fairly clear about the coming of the Messiah. Malachi had spoken of how the Lord would send a messenger "to prepare the way." Isaiah had described an Elijah-like figure, a voice calling in the wilderness who likewise would come to "make straight in the desert a highway for our God." Even Jesus's disciples—hardly a learned bunch—understood this. Immediately after recognizing that Jesus might actually be the savior, they asked him: "But why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?" Jesus replied that Elijah had come, and they all apparently knew he was talking about John.
All of which is to say—or admit—that if there hadn't been a John the Baptist, the evangelists would have had to come up with one. But they didn't because there was. The Jewish historian Josephus tells us that there was a good man around whom the people of Judea massed, one who "urged the Jews to be more virtuous . . . and having done so to join together in washing." Josephus calls him the Dipper. The fact that the Dipper made no mention of Jesus or any Messiah—in Josephus's account, that is—may give pause to the devout heart, but is certainly explainable. Not all perspectives on a given historic figure are going to be the same, particularly the more contemporaneous ones, but that just points up the inherent diceyness of the proposition at question—of taking the story of one charismatic spiritual leader and using it, after the fact, to substantiate the messianic claim of another probably-less-popular-at-the-time successor. Again, one doesn't have to be too cynical to suspect that such an effort might lend itself to moments of invention here and there, or might even—absent a good editor— descend to the level of a fairy tale, with angels and magical doves and voices from heaven and things like that.
However, to chide the evangelists for their use of poetic license—if they did use it—is to be guilty of another kind of provincialism, of assuming that such men should be bound by the same rules as David McCullough, say, or of assuming that they shared our contemporary western assumption that what is "literal" or "factual" somehow has a greater claim upon truth than what we call figurative or metaphorical. Given the profound skepticism with which the religious mind has always treated the world of appearances—that tacky realm where facts have purchase—it is doubtful that the gospel authors would have thought twice about taking liberties with the stories they received from
it. They were attempting to convey eternal—and eternally pertinent—truths, after all, not temporal or temporary ones. They were drawing a map of the soul. In that context, John's story—and the project of weaving it into Jesus's—may be seen as presenting an opportunity through which both the spiritual and the literary intelligence of its several authors could shine. And does.
Consider first the fact that John is almost certainly the best drawn character in the Gospels. We are told how he dressed, groomed, what he liked to eat, the sorts of things he said, and the manner in which he said them. John is, moreover, the only character—other than Jesus— whose birth and infancy are presented in any detail; and while he is not the only character whose death is mentioned, John's is remarkable in the fact that it has no immediate bearing on Jesus's mission. Rather, it seems to have been presented for the same reason that informs all the other moments and episodes in John's story: to reinforce the idea of his worthiness as Jesus's first, most emphatic, and long-foretold witness.
But among these various moments in John's life, there are two in particular—the bookends—that taken together testify most eloquently and powerfully to the quality of mind behind the assembly of this very intricate braid.
As mentioned, we learn from Luke a great deal about the circumstances surrounding John's birth. There was an older couple named Zechariah and Elizabeth, who prayed and prayed and prayed for a child until those prayers were answered, first by angelic visitation and then by a son. Readers conversant with sacred literature will recognize that this story comes from a fairly old playbook. It recalls the struggles of Abraham and Sarah, as well as Hannah and her husband, Elkanah, as well as Anna and Joachim. We furthermore learn that John's mother, Elizabeth, was apparently "kin" to Jesus's mother, Mary, which again is certainly possible—it was a smaller world back then—but could just as well be one of those poetic inventions, an attempt to convey the spiritual kinship between Jesus and John by asserting . . . actual kinship.
Either way, it's the family connection that sets the stage for an undeniably affecting moment, often called "the quickening." Perhaps to conceal her pregnancy from prying eyes, Mary goes to visit Zechariah and Elizabeth in the hill country. Once again it is Luke who tells us that "when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb."
A simple sentence recounting a common occurrence, yet it summons to mind one of the more beautiful and unexpected images in all the Bible: of the unborn John, adrift in the dark, soothing shadow of his mother's womb, awakened from his slumber not so much by a voice— it's Elizabeth who heard the greeting—but by the awareness of another silent presence nearby, a being still less formed than he but apparently so radiant and delightful that John is inspired to kick. To dance.
That alluded detail is our first real signal—far superior to the more explicit angelic pronouncements and benedictions that come before and after—that John has been chosen, and well chosen, for the eventual task of recognizing the light of the Holy Spirit. (In fact, this is precisely how his mission is phrased in the Gospel of John the Evangelist, that John was sent by God "to bear witness about the light.") The "cousins" then part ways. Regarding John, all we know—from the Gospels at least—is that he lived in the wilderness and there "became strong in spirit." When next we meet him, his mission is in full swing. Crowds are coming to the banks of the Jordan to receive his baptism and to be warned that he is just a harbinger. There is one coming after him, he says, who will "baptize you with the Holy spirit," who will "gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."
Enter Jesus, the spiritual adept from Galilee. No further mention is made of any kinship—that metaphor, if it is one, seems to have served its purpose—but John instantly recognizes Jesus's authority. "Should you not baptize me?" he asks. Jesus, ever mindful of the need to stick to the plan, says no. "Let it be so for now, as it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness." The baptism goes forward, with God's very vocal blessing.
John's disciples, however, are not so quick to glean the significance of the moment, or of this visitor. And this you don't hear as much about on Sunday, when more emphasis is placed on John's willingness to point and step aside, but the gospel is fairly clear that, with the exception of the Pharisees and Sadducees (to whom, let's face it, Jesus gave as good as he got), no one is more hostile to Jesus than the followers of John. Which makes sense. If one has devoted one's life to this master here, it can't be easy to hear him say, "Now follow that one there." They resist. When they see that Jesus does not fast or pray, they challenge him; and later on at Aenon, when it is discovered that Jesus is performing baptisms just up the river, they object. This interloper is not just stealing their rabboni's act, he is debasing it by letting his disciples perform the rite, which is apparently something John did not do.
John is not bothered. In fact, he takes the opportunity to express more clearly than ever the subservience of his role. Jesus is the bridegroom, John a mere guest at the wedding; Jesus is from heaven while John is from earth; Jesus must therefore "increase," while he, John, must "decrease."
His disciples still aren't having it. They have more questions, more seeds of doubt to sow, and it is their final effort in this regard that provides what is the other most surprising and troubling moment in John's story: Not long after the incident at Aenon, John is arrested, ostensibly for insulting the royal marriage. He is taken to the fortress of Machaerus, down along the eastern coast of the Dead Sea, and held in a cell that lore has come to imagine as a cracked and emptied cistern. It's there, in his presumably weakened state, that John is finally infected by the lingering suspicions of his disciples. He is told about Jesus's "deeds" in Galilee. We don't know which deeds exactly, but Jesus was performing many of his healing miracles during this time, the most concerning of which would have been the raising of the dead, an act that—to most noses, at least—carries the taint of sorcery. Whatever the cause, John was apparently disturbed enough by what he heard to send his disciples back to Jesus to ask him: "Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?"
That's an astonishing moment, especially because these will turn out to be the last words we hear from John, and they are an unvarnished expression of doubt. They are an arrow fired at the heart of the entire Christian mission . . . from the heart of the Christian mission. The disciples oblige. They go and find Jesus and ask him John's question to his face, and he replies at length with one of his more vexingly oblique and brilliant passages, but his answer to the question itself is fairly succinct. "Go and tell John what you hear and see," he says. "The blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me."
Notable here is how the phrasing manages to upend the priority that literal meaning usually enjoys over the metaphorical, and suggests what Jesus really wants John to hear: that the deeds in question are symbolic of a far deeper transformation in which John should take great comfort. The people are seeing now, and hearing, being purified and reborn. Readers can decide for themselves whether this reply satisfies them. Presumably that's what John's disciples did. The question for this discussion is whether the response satisfied John. And did he even hear it? The answer, remarkably, is that we don't know. The next we hear about John, it's the night of Herod's banquet when—famously— Herod's stepdaughter, in return for having just entertained all the guests with a dance, requests that the Baptist's head be brought to her on a platter. It's a stunning and chillingly capricious end to the prophet's life, and almost surreal enough to distract us from the issue at hand: what was John's state of mind just prior to the ax's fall? Did he still doubt Jesus, or was he reconciled?
There are, in fact, two morsels of information from which we may be able to draw some conclusion, and once again it is an unsettling one. We know from Mark that while in prison John apparently spoke to Herod, that Herod "was greatly perplexed" by the things John said, but that "he kept him safe" and "heard him gladly," all of which paints a frankly entertaining picture: of the king who really only arrested the prophet in order to hear him speak, to sit outside his cell and hang on every terrifying word. But did those words pertain to Jesus, the one who came from heaven? The one whose sandal John had previously suggested he was not fit to tie?
It wouldn't seem so, since we also know that sometime later, after John's beheading, Herod was told of the deeds that Jesus was performing in his territory. Herod's reply? "This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him." Hardly the response of a man who has been warned of a new Messiah. No, this is the response of a man who feared and revered John, and was regretting the role he'd played in John's death. And kudos to the evangelists for their willingness to muddy these waters, because again the inference is clear: that in his conversations with Herod—the last he is known to have engaged in—John seems to have abnegated his role as witness to Jesus. He was not consoled—at least not at that point—a conclusion that requires our pause if only to consider the depth of the anguish it represents. John was not just in prison, not just facing the likelihood that he would never get out alive, but also—and far worse— confronting the possibility that he had conferred his mission and following on a fraud, a man who he had reason to believe might corrupt and pervert the cause to which he had devoted his life, which was to prepare the people for the coming of the Lord.
Hard to imagine a darker dungeon than that.
Now, readers of faith are of course still free to hope—for John's sake—that, at some point between his last conversation with Herod and the arrival of his executioner these doubts were answered, and that he was visited by some intuition or some presence, sent to reassure him that in the fullness of time (or perhaps the next six months) his efforts would be gloriously vindicated.
But if one does imagine such a moment, some glimmer of light entering John's literal and figurative darkness, one is bound to recognize that this scene is in fact a reprise, and by that token to acknowledge the striking (and deliciously disturbing) resemblance between the implied setting that opens John's story—which was the warmth and comfort of his mother's womb—and the setting that closes it—which is the dank, dark cold of the cistern at Machaerus. These two shadows are, in fact, the alpha and omega moments of John's story, and it is the exquisitely implied entrance of light into the first—shed by the near presence of his cousin Jesus—that encourages us to think that maybe a similar light pierced his prison cell; to imagine, in other words, that the very same hope that awakened him to this world should have been the one that finally allowed him to leave it in peace.
But even this—the extraordinary imagery and literary stagecraft used to convey the intercession of grace in John's life—does not answer the question why? Why, posed the task of recounting John's role in promoting the cause of Jesus—which is the only reason John is mentioned in the gospel in the first place—did the evangelists see fit to include such stark expressions of doubt in both word and symbol?
The answer may be chalked up to a lack of editorial vigilance, sure, a failure to nip every Derridean bud that might undermine the evangelists' clearly stated purpose. But perhaps the decision was more deliberate than that, evidence of a collective intuition that lifts the gospel enterprise above mere history or biography, and obviates the question of whether certain of its details are "true" or "false," seeing as they are True:
Light is born of darkness.
Darkness is the necessary precondition of light.
Belief, likewise, is born of doubt, which is its necessary precondition. Doubt is the soil from which faith grows.
Therefore, if one is determined to imagine John the Baptist as the first and most authoritative voice to recognize Jesus as savior—the first, in other words, to believe—then John must, by that token, have been the first to doubt. That, too, is Law. And if ever we encounter any teaching, or feel ourselves succumbing to any creed or system of belief, that does not admit this, and does not struggle intimately and often—in the cistern of its soul—with the fear that it is mistaken, misdirected, falsely premised, or corrupt at its heart—we should take heed:
That is not faith.
That, in fact, is a fairy tale.

Ribbon fails to leave an impact, feels Urvi Parikh.
Most films in Bollywood are love stories that work through the struggle to get married and live happily ever after.
Rarely does a film delve deeper into the characters's lives after the honeymoon phase is over and reality makes its bitter presence felt.
Rakhee Sandilya's Ribbon is an interesting take on the everyday life of a much-in-love and hardworking urban couple, Saahana (Kalki Koechlin) and Karan (Sumeet Vyaas), trying to make ends meet in this concrete jungle called Mumbai.
They get caught in a tricky situation when Saahana gets pregnant accidentally.
While she doesn't want to take up the new responsibility because of her professional ambitions and the EMIs for their newly purchased house, Karan is very excited about the addition to the family.
Their difference of opinion, and the lack of clarity about having a baby, is nicely explored by the first-time director.
The scene where Kalki rages at Sumeet after she learns about the pregnancy underlines their characters; the former is impatient while the latter is calm.
Though the movie takes off on a good note, it abruptly fast-forwards to Saahana in her seventh month of pregnancy.
Soon, Karan and Saahana's world revolves around their new-born daughter, Aashi.
Despite the financial crunch, the young couple cope with the new requirements of a nanny or day care service. The sacrifices and compromises that parents make to raise their kids are nicely shown in this slow-paced film.
The movie also explores workplace sexism. When Saahana returns to work after her maternity break, the humiliation she faces at being demoted is well depicted.
Ribbon deals with the everyday life problems that a young couple goes through while trying to strike a balance between their personal and professional lives.
But the film fails at the editing department. The plot is jumpy in places and breaks the flow created by the stellar performance of the lead actors.
Ribbon's pace is unbearably sluggish. The first half could have been shorter, given that the plot's climax talks about a sensitive topic which needs more exploring.
Despite its length, the movie looks incomplete and patchy.
In terms of performances, Kalki is perfect as an ambitious working woman trying to make her dream come true. She wants to scream at her boss for his workplace sexism but swallows her pride because she needs the job.
At the same time, she is fierce about certain things and stands up for her child wherever she has to.
Sumeet puts on a calm act and shows the struggles of a young husband-turned-father well. You empathise with him on many occasions.
Despite its relevant premise, Ribbon fails to leave an impact.
Though the movie piques your interest in bits and pieces, especially in the second half, the abrupt end will leave you disappointed.

Ahmadinejad: Change means ending support for the "Zionists;" says US must apologize for past actions.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Wednesday for "profound changes" in US foreign policy - including an end to support for Israel and an apology to the Islamic republic for past misdeeds. Ahmadinejad also urged Washington to withdraw its troops stationed around the world. He said Iran would be closely watching what President Barack Obama's new administration does and would welcome a real shift in its approach. "Change means giving up support for the rootless, uncivilized, fabricated, murdering ... Zionists and letting the Palestinian nation decide its own destiny," Ahmadinejad said. "Change means putting an end to US military presence in (different parts of) the world." His comments come as Obama was reaching out to Muslims. The new US president has stressed the importance of engaging Iran. In his inaugural address, Obama addressed leaders of hostile nations by saying "we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist." Without mentioning Obama by name, Ahmadinejad repeatedly referred to those who want "change," a buzzword of Obama's election campaign. "When they say 'we want to bring changes', change may happen in two ways: First is profound, fundamental and effective change ... the second ... is a change of tactics," he told thousands of people in the western city of Kermanshah in a speech broadcast live on state television. "We will wait patiently, listen to their words carefully, scrutinize their actions under a magnifier and if change happens truly and fundamentally, we will welcome that," he added. "The change will be to apologize to the Iranian nation and try to compensate for their dark records and the crimes they have committed against the Iranian nation." Ahmadinejad cited the US-backed coup that toppled the elected government of Prime Minister Mohamed Mossadegh in 1953, its support of the unpopular shah, its backing of Saddam Hussein during Iraq's war with Iran in the 1980s and the downing of an Iranian airliner in 1988 by a US naval ship. In an interview with Al-Arabiya news channel that aired Tuesday, Obama condemned Iran's threats to destroy Israel and its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons, but added: "It is important for us to be willing to talk to Iran, to express very clearly where our differences are, but where there are potential avenues for progress." Later Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told reporters the US administration is undertaking a wide-ranging and comprehensive assessment of American foreign policy options toward Iran. Clinton also said Iran had a "clear opportunity" to demonstrate some willingness to engage meaningfully with the international community. Washington is at odds with Iran over its nuclear ambitions and its threats to destroy Israel as well as Teheran's support for Hizbullah in and Hamas. The US broke off diplomatic relations with Iran after hardline students stormed the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979.

Columbia Digital Storytelling Lab
"Acoustic Kitty" 1960s declassified CIA docs inspire haptic storytelling project
lance w.
For the February Meetup, Columbia DSL will be delving into 1960s declassified CIA documents to hear the story of "Operation Acoustic Kitty" and the history of listening device espionage. We'll be collaborating with researchers from the Digital School of Art at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, to bring the ghost of the spy cat back to life in an immersive storytelling experience that will be developed over the course of 2019. Artists from around the world will work to imagine the "nine lives" of a surveillance inspired virtual cat through the use of haptic technology and AI.
About Operation Acoustic Kitty
"At the height of the Cold War, the story goes, officials in the United States hatched a covert plan to keep tabs on Russians in Washington, D.C. They would, they decided, deploy surveillance cats—yes, actual cats surgically implanted with microphones and radio transmitters—to slip by security and eavesdrop on activity at the Soviet Embassy. The project went by the thinly disguised code name "Acoustic Kitty." - The Atlantic
https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/06/acoustic-kitty-technological-history-of-american-espionage/396728/
The evening will be a mix of theory and practice. We'll start with a historical overview of listening device espionage and then move into a technical overview of haptic-based technology. Afterward, we'll dive into a design/prototyping session to collaboratively imagine an immersive storytelling project inspired by Acoustic Kitty.
VOLUNTEERS WANTED:
We're looking for folks to help us document the evening through text, photos and video. If you're interested please message us through meetup.

Q: Trigger to update Lead Owner in Custom Call Object I have made a trigger on Custom Call Object to change the lead ownership of the queue to the Current User as we do not want the Sales Agent to have the owner the leads before they Qualify the leads as Enrolled Confirmed, this has been made after integration of Hermes Cloud integration for the Dialer.
trigger vhccall on vhc__call__c (after insert) {
    list<lead> leadsToUpdate = new list<lead>();
    set<String> setValues = new set<String>();
        for(Call_lead_Owner__c lo : Call_lead_Owner__c.getAll().Values())
            setValues.add(lo.item_Name__c);

        for(vhc__Call__c call: trigger.new){
            if(setValues.contains(Call.Call_Status_Item_Name__c) && call.Lead_Owner__c != UserInfo.getUserId())
                leadsToUpdate.add(new lead(Id = call.vhc__Lead__c, OwnerId = UserInfo.getUserId()));
        }

       if(!leadsToUpdate.isEmpty())
           update leadsToUpdate;
       }

But this is not updating the lead owner. Please any suggestions

Q: lua_getglobal triggered "attempt to index a thread value" error I have completely no idea on how it could raise this error: even if the global does not exist, isn't it should give a nil?
Nevertheless, something I could ensure are:

*

*it is a valid lua_State;

*it is the main context, not a thread;

*the named global has been set previously, on the same lua_State instance.

*I never unset the global (as I don't know how to do that).

And this is the stack trace when error is raised:

Q: Вынесение за пределы цикла Не получается вынести template_list за пределы цикла.
var select = function(id, params, list) {
 var template_list = '';

 for(i = 0; i <= list.length; i++) {
  var key = list[i][0];
  var value = list[i][1];
  var template_list += key+' '+value;
 }

 alert(template_list); // не работает за пределами цикла
}

A: var select = function(id, params, list) {
 var template_list = '';
 for(i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {

  var key = list[i][0];
  var value = list[i][1];
     template_list +='key:'+ key+' value:'+value+ '; ';
 }

 alert(template_list); // не работает за пределами цикла
}
var list0=[[1,100],[2,200],[3,300],[4,400]];
select (1,'params',list0);

http://jsfiddle.net/AnrAx/1/
A: Во-первых, уберите var перед template_list в цикле. Используя ключевое слово var вы объявляете новую переменную в области видимости блока цикла, таким образом игнорируя template_list, объявленную в более общей области видимости.
Во-вторых, не i <= list.length, а i < list.length. Нумерация элементов массивов идёт с нуля и заканчивается list.length - 1. Таким образом, значение list[length.list] выходит за границы массива, и программа, пытаясь его прочитать выдаёт ошибку.
И в-третьих, научитесь пользоваться отладчиками JavaScript (Firebug, Chrome Developer Tools, Opera Dragonfly). Они сразу напишут вам, какую ошибку вы допустили.

Going through a break-up is probably one of the hardest things we experience.
Sleepless nights, heart-ache, feeling overwhelmed, checking the phone constantly, going over and over things in your mind, weepy days and nights. Yes, very rough indeed.
But there are ways to recover a relationship and help it to get back on track. But, before you simply launch into trying to get your ex back you must be very, very honest with yourself.
There is usually a very good reason for a break-up and you must try to identify what that is.
Relationships usually come to an end for 3 reasons, Loss of Connection, Loss of Attraction, Loss of Trust. You must be honest enough with yourself to decide if the relationship needed to end or you absolutely believe there is unfinished business. You must look in the mirror and consider if your partner's reasons for the break-up are valid or not.
When faced with the reality that it's over you are launched into an emotional roller-coaster. Leaving you feeling shocked, hurt, bereft and numb. But mostly confused and scared. And therein lies the major flaw. Instinct kicks in and we are prepared to go to just about any lengths to get them back!
Your instincts will dominate your emotions. This could lead to very erratic behaviour. Doing things that you would never normally do. Calling, texting endlessly, turning up at their home or office. Just trying to find the way. This emotional roller-coaster wreaks havoc on you. And may even push your ex away even more. But how can you reconcile if they won't even communicate. No answers to texts, emails, Face Book or Whatsapp?
Here are 10 steps to getting back with your ex because they are your "forever person".
1 Instinct driven erratic behavior is common. But could prolong the break-up. This is the time to be level-headed. Firstly, you need to accept your partner's decision. And that the relationship as it was, is now over, for the time being of course! This is an important step. It goes without saying that you love them deeply. And really want them back fast. Regardless of how much you love them you must be honest and accept the relationship could not go on the way it was.
2 Emotions always need to settle down after the break-up. And I always recommend the no contact rule, unless absolutely necessary. No contact prevents instinct taking over and making things worse. This is the hardest step to maintain. You just miss them so much. Ego and pride must be left behind. Take responsibility for your part in how the relationship was. See your lover's behaviour too. Think about the solutions that would work for both of you. Be completely honest with yourself.
3 Avoid manipulation tactics of any sort or using the "blame game" to convince them to give things another go. Sometimes, I've seen these tactics work but mostly a person is found out. playing emotional and mind-games just kills all the hope of a reconciliation.
4 Avoid following your lover's online activities. Don't try "getting through the back door" hoping to get communication going. Usually this just infuriates them even more. And could prevent any communication in the future! Maintaining your dignity is crucial to being able to reconnect after the settling down period has passed.
5 Please stop thinking that your partner doesn't love you. Love is never the reason why they left. The relationship was broken, not your love for one another. Keep this very much in mind. Because the power of love can repair any relationship.
6 Look after yourself. People are attracted to confidence, charisma, style and balance. Remain positive. Put a smile on your face. Work on yourself. Join a class or a social group. Take-up a new hobby or sport. Think about if you missed tell-tale signs that things were not right. Or where you may have been complacent. You are still the person your ex fell in love with. But for now, they no longer see the person you really are.
7 Breaking the Ice. Once the period of no contact is at an end and you feel grounded and confident. And have started a few new things socially. It's time to make first contact. Texting is fastest of course. But an email or PM will also do.
8 Remember your message needs to be subtle. The purpose here is to activate their love and attraction for you. This sets the tone, breaks the ice, sparks curiosity and excitement before moving on to actually speaking with one-another.
However, there are several No-No's that you must guard against when starting your text conversations.
Don't send empty text messages.
Don't talk about your hurt feelings or what happened between you.
Don't argue or say anything negative.
Instead your texts must be short, sweet and to the point.
Tell them about something that reminded you of them.
And some of the good times you had.
Let them know you are enjoying Life.
Be subtle, positive and fun.
9 You want to go from unhappy ex to fun text buddy. It is a slow process, but if your ex is happily co-operating, you have a very good chance of getting back together.
When you feel the time is right then ask them to meet-up.
is over. Getting back together is all about creating a new relationship between you.
Take things slowly, rebuild your attraction, support your deep connection and rebuild trust. Your ex will be blown away by rediscovering the person they fell in love with and want to comeback for all the right reasons. The power of love can repair any relationship.

Now we have some insight into where we are in the economic cycle between paper assets and physical assets. What takes place at the end of great inflations? What does history teach us? Actually, at the end of the inflation two interesting things happen. First, real money as defined above begins to appear in the market for everyday transactions. Almost anyone on the internet is aware gold can and is used for transactions through e-gold, GoldMoney and a few others. Once a person or business has enrolled with an internet gold holding company transactions over the internet can be made using gold. There are also some actual warehouse receipts being used by NORFED and Millennium Money. These warehouse receipt are exchangeable by the bearer on demand for actual silver or gold. The receipts themselves can also be used to purchase everyday items.
The second issue is that man made instruments are exchanged for real wealth at an accelerating rate.Those that have saved U.S. "dollars" decide to buy something with them. The problem is that once this transfer begins there is not many places to find safety. Because money represents something that can be use presently or stored for future use this shift becomes very intriguing. Although the major shift is into commodities, which of the commodities are able to fulfill the ability to be spend presently or store value for future use?
COULD SILVER CATCH UP WITH GOLD?
"Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked: 'Account overdrawn."?
