Breaking and exiting
Monday, Aug 13, 2001 by Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka (@TwitterHasBannedAllMyAccountsEver)
A well protected home has all this and more.
While some crazy foreign people like to make crazy foreign people insults against America by poking fun of our goofy President or refusal to riot during soccer games, it's a commonly known fact that America leads the planet, if not universe, in home protection. Sure there may be 500,000 different ways for you to be murdered in your house during an armed burglary, but we have at least 1,000,000 various methods to prevent this from happening. Popular movies such as "Home Alone" and its sequel "Dunston Checks In" have demonstrated that American ingenuity (combined with common household items) can successfully deter any assult from a couple wacky burglars who have the total intelligence of rock salt. Some of the more popular theft-deterrent systems that American households currently employ include the following:
Burglar alarms that are triggered by deadly air molecules entering or leaving house
Guard dogs which try to eat anything that poses a threat to them, such as minorities, babies, lesbians, sandwiches, or their owner
Bars which cover up windows, impenetrable to anybody without a screwdriver or opposable thumbs
Small guns
Large guns
Really large guns which shoot an awful lot of bullets in a short time span
Moats
Sticker on front door which reads "NO JEHOVA WITNESSES OR BURGLARS ALLOWED. OCCUPANT OF HOME IS ARMED AND PROBABLY NOT PASSED OUT."
Television loudly tuned to "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"
Replacing all doors with solid steel walls disguised as doors
Trap door that leads to a makeshift dungeon where your banker friend runs around under a bedsheet and pretends he's a ghost so he can scare kids away and somehow lower the property value
The refusal to purchase anything worth stealing
A button that, when pressed, makes the house rotate around 180 degrees. Also the house is moved into another state, one which has a lower burglary rate
Elderly woman who sits on a couch by the front door all day, moaning and decomposing while items surrounding her spontaneously oxidize and mysteriously take up the stench of mothballs
Openings that look like windows but in reality are large monsters' mouths
As Americans, we're free to pretty much construct whatever harebrained schemes we want to defend ourselves as long as it's inside our personal property and doesn't cause neighboring houses to become radioactive. In this day and age, with the invention of miraculous personal protection items like "really strong wood" and those big bullets that make your internal organs fall out, there really isn't any good reason for people to have their homes burglarized. However, these aforementioned protection schemes have a critical downfall: lawsuits. You'd better hope to hell that the guy breaking into your house ends up with his skull in a different area code because if he falls prey to your anti-burglarly device and survives, then you're going to be wrapped up in lawsuits for the next decade. Basically, while you're free to protect your gun collection and Star Trek memorabilia in virtually any way possible, you're going to get in trouble if somebody breaks into your house and becomes a victim of your protection scheme. Say that somebody busts into your home and storms into your bedroom during the middle of the night. While it's fine for you to have a gun, you are only allowed to legally shoot the intruder if all the following conditions are met:
1) The intruder has a deadly weapon such as a gun, drunk driving automobile, or shark. A gun is only classified as "deadly" if it contains hollow-point or Black Talon rounds since normal bullets don't hardly cause any damage these days thanks to society's constant exposure to gene-mutating microwaves and CRT radiation. The normal .45 caliber round is incapable of breaking human skin.
2) The intruder has signed a written contract admitting that he plans on killing you. This contract must also be approved by the state governor and cosigned by somebody in Congress.
3) The intruder has killed at least 10 people in his past, with at least two of those victims dying in the last month (not of natural causes).
4) The intruder has previously expressed to you his intent to make you murdered. He can only do so voluntarily and can not be "tricked" like in the following situation:
YOU: (Cleverly) "I sure don't hope that I don't feel that you don't not murder me! Are you?" (Chuckling with superiority while loading gun)
BURGLAR: "What?" (Murders you)
While these rules are tough and strict, they are certainly fair. Compare this to wanna-be communist countries like the UK, which is doing wanna-be communist things like the following:
Council's barbed wire ban - A 93-year-old woman who put up barbed wire around her home after repeated burglaries has been ordered to take it down because it could injure intruders. Ruby Barber's family put up £450 worth of wire following three break-ins at her home in the Ryehill area of Northampton. But council officials have now ordered them to take it down - because it could injure someone who "foolishly" tries to climb it.
The future of the UK...?
So the officials of Northampton, undoubtedly cranky because American keyboards don't have a "£" button and nobody knows the secret code to display it (besides copying and pasting), has removed another slice from the Cherry Pie of Freedom. Instead of allowing the liberty to cause personal injury to local fence-climbing addicts, the government has decided to clamp down and forbid the protection of private property. If you thought that was bad, I have terrible news that will shock and horrify you: things actually get worse. Also, you smell like shit and nobody likes you. The wonderful people at the State Og Fact-Finding division, which recently took a break from researching what John F. Kennedy was doing on the moon when he was assassinated, was able to turn up the following document taken from a recent Northampton city council meeting. The results may chill you... in a chilling way!
NORTHAMPTON CITY PLANS:
1) Outlaw barbed wire. Pass law banning citizen use of barbed wire and making it illegal to show graphic depiction of barbed wire in video games. Require all digital representations of barbed wire to be replaced with image of curly french fry or non-Nazi robot with green blood.
2) Abolish the manufacturing and use of front doors. Burglars or intruders may injure their arm while trying to break them down. Require automated "people mover" conveyor belts to be installed outside every home, allowing easy and injure-free access to all burglars (particularly handicapped).
3) Ban any wall taller than three feet. Robbers run the risk of falling off and hurting themselves. If intruder has contracted "Advanced Gravity Syndrome" and suffers more damage when falling, owner of house will be legally required to come to the intruder's aid and personally heal him until 100% recovered. This includes buying Christmas gifts that say "get better soon!" and feature a picture of a kitten.
A chilling look at things to come? Most certainly! However, we American citizens can rest easy tonight, confident that our budding and prosperous legal industry will prevent any events like these, which might put a damper on their cash flow, from occurring. It's your right as a United States resident to deter break-ins from your God-fearing home in almost any way possible... assuming that nobody actually ever breaks into your place. Now grab that barbed wire and get cracking, you patriot.
Have a Fire-Filled Day!
Another week, another issue of everybody's favorite crudely-drawn firemen heroes!

Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumours, which are composed of the fat cells of adult type. Lipomas have been identified in all age groups, but they are mostly seen between 40 and 60 years of age. They are usually solitary tumours, more common in females, most often located on the posterior neck and on the back, but they can also be multiple and small tumours all over the body and extremities. Anterior neck lipomas are rare. We report a case of a giant subcutaneous solitary lipoma of anterior neck in a 60-year-old male managed surgically.

Lipomas are benign tumours composed of adipose tissue, usually found subcutaneously. They can occur anywhere in the body where there is an accumulation of fat cells; thus, they are often called as a 'universal tumour'. Lipomas are generally slow-growing tumours with a firm rubbery consistency. In the head and neck region, where only 13% of the lipomas are seen, posterior cervical space is the most common site.[1] The common sites for lipoma are the back, the arms, the shoulder, the anterior chest wall, the breasts, the thighs, the abdominal wall, the legs, the forehead and the face.[2] They are usually asymptomatic but can cause pain when they compress nerves. They are usually subcutaneous but may develop in other places, for example, intermuscular, subfascial, parosteal, subserous, submucous, intra-articular, subsynovial, subendocardium, subepicardiac, myocardium, subdural or extradural. Lipomas have been identified in all age groups but usually appear between 40 and 60 years of age.[3] Solitary lipomas are more common in women, and multiple tumours (referred to as lipomatosis) are more common in men. Treatment modalities for lipomas range from liposuction, steroid injection to surgical excisions.[3] Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and sonography help in making early diagnosis, which can be supported with computed tomography (CT) and confirmed with histopathology report. Surgical intervention is challenging in anterior neck lipomas because of the proximity to the great vessels and vagus nerve and is reserved for patients coming for cosmesis (most common indication), pressure effects to rule out malignancy.
A 60-year-old male presented to outpatient department of otolaryngology clinic (ENT OPD) of our hospital with a huge swelling in the anterior and right lateral aspect of the neck since 7 years, which gradually enlarged in size. There was no history of difficulty in breathing, swallowing or change in voice. The swelling did not move with deglutition or protrusion of the tongue. On examination, the swelling was 12 cm × 12 cm in size extending superiorly till the lower border of the mandible, inferiorly till the clavicle, anteriorly till the midline and posteriorly till the posterior border of trapezius on the right side. It was soft-to-firm in consistency, mobile, nontender, overlying skin was of normal colour, stretched and not adhered to tumour, and dilated veins were present over the swelling. The surface of the mass was lobulated, and margins were well defined. There was no mediastinal extension of the swelling on palpation [Figure 1].
Figure 1: Clinical photograph of the patient
Ultrasonography of the neck showed a large, well-circumscribed hypoechoic mass lesion noted in the front and the right side of the neck. Thyroid was found to be normal and the left carotid artery was displaced anteromedially due to mass lesion. On colour Doppler study, no increase in vascularity was seen. All features were suggestive of lipomatous lesion. X-ray soft tissue neck showed a large soft tissue swelling in anterior aspect and the right side of the neck causing mild deviation of trachea to the left side but with no mediastinal extension. X-ray of the chest was normal. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the neck revealed a large, well-defined hypodense fat attenuation lesion measuring 12 cm × 12 cm × 11.3 cm on the right side of the neck with thin septations and ill-defined soft tissue nodular areas within causing smooth contour bulge of overlying skin. The mass was involving posterior cervical space, carotid space and right masticator space with an anteromedial displacement of carotid sheath structures and a smooth contour bulge of the right lateral pharyngeal and laryngeal wall. Inferiorly, it was extending till the level of medial end of the clavicle and laterally beneath the right trapezius muscle [Figure 2]. FNAC was performed, and a report suggested benign lipomatous lesion. The patient was planned for the excision of the mass under general anaesthesia.
Figure 2: CECT of the neck showing extension of tumour and relation to vital structures
Operative details: A single vertical lazy S incision was made over the tumour and the flaps were raised, and the tumour was exposed. The tumour mass was smooth, soft, yellow, mobile, shining and encapsulated. The tumour was found to push carotid sheath medially with maintained tissue planes. Superiorly, it was extending till the mastoid tip, and posteriorly, it was extending below trapezius muscle.
Enucleation of the tumour mass was performed, followed by excision of the excess skin [Figure 3]. Histopathology report suggested it to be a lipoma. Post-operative period was uneventful with no recurrence at 6 months follow-up.
Figure 3: Lipoma after the enucleation
The lipomas constitute 5% of all benign tumours of the body and can be found anywhere in the body. Among the head and neck lipomas, the most common location is the posterior neck. The anterior neck is a rare location for the head and neck lipoma.[3]
The lipomas are slow growing, painless, mobile, non-fluctuant, soft masses and are generally well encapsulated. The lipomas can be singular or multiple and are typically asymptomatic, unless they compress neurovascular structures. Besides frequent aesthetic consequences, lipomas can also exert pressure on surrounding tissues and structures. Patients with neck lipoma extending to mediastinum may present with a complaint of dyspnea or dysphagia.
Giant lipomas are defined by Sanchez et al.[4] as lesions with a size of at least 10 cm in one dimension or weighing a minimum of 1000 g. The mechanism behind such gigantic growth is unclear and is a matter of debate. A few studies have postulated the role of trauma suggesting that blunt trauma can cause rupture of the fibrous septa and anchorage connections between the skin and deep fascia allowing the adipose tissue to proliferate rapidly. One theory suggests that trauma-related fat herniation through tissue planes creates so-called pseudolipomas. It has also been suggested that trauma-induced cytokine release triggers preadipocyte differentiation and maturation.[5] A large neck mass (>10 cm) with a rapid growth rate should raise concerns about a possible malignancy.[4] A long-standing lipoma may undergo myxomatous degeneration, saponification, calcification, infection, ulceration due to repeated trauma and malignant change. A malignant transformation of lipoma into liposarcoma has rarely been described.[6]
Sometimes the lipomas are associated with syndromes such as multiple lipomatosis,[7] Gardner's syndrome, Dercum's disease (multiple painful subcutaneous lipomas), and Madelung's disease (lipomatosis of the neck, the head, the shoulders and the proximal extremities). Histologically, the lipomas are composed of mature adipose tissue, and several subtypes occur when other mesenchymal elements are present, for example, fibrous tissue, nervous tissue or vascular tissue.
CT is the modality of choice to confirm lipoma. The lipomas appear as homogenous low-density areas with a CT value of −50 to −150 HU with no contrast enhancement. On CT scans, a capsule of lipoma is barely visible or an adjacent mass effect may be the only clue to its presence. Larger lesions may contain blood vessels. A significant soft tissue element or heterogeneity of attenuation within a fatty lesion raises the possibility of liposarcoma. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the lipomas have well-defined margins with a uniform signal intensity of fat on all sequences (best confirmed using fat-suppressed sequences). The margin of lipoma is clearly defined as 'black rim', distinguishing them from surrounding fat.[8] Calcification is rare, forms centrally within an area of ischaemic necrosis but more commonly it is a feature of a liposarcoma.[9]
Surgical excision of lipoma is the definitive treatment. Surgery is reserved for patients coming for cosmesis (most common indication) and pressure effects and to rule out malignancy. Smaller lipomas can be excised easily with low recurrence rate, because they usually grow expansively between different fascial planes without infiltrating the neighbouring structures. Surgical intervention of the giant lipoma of anterior neck with mediastinal extension is quite challenging because of proximity to the great vessels, the vagus and spinal accessory nerves, the lungs and the heart. Preoperative consent regarding possible complications such as injury to neurovascular structures must be taken. Surgical intervention in these tumours is very challenging because, sometimes, an extension to the spinal cord and malignant transformation may occur especially in old age.[10]
Lipomas may be lobulated, and it is essential that all lobules be removed. Complete surgical excision with the capsule is advocated to prevent local recurrence. Other modalities of treatment have been reported such as liposuction[11] and steroid injections. Liposuction is sometimes preferred, because there is less scarring following the procedure, but there is a higher chance of recurrence compared to excision, if residual tumour or capsule remains after the procedure. For smaller lipomas, steroid injections may also be used, but several injections are required and the overlying skin may be depigmented.
Common condition such as lipomas can have unusual presentations. Giant lipomas in an elderly patient may mimic malignancy. Therefore, otolaryngologists must be aware of it. Enucleation is the treatment of choice.

Exclusive: Director DJ Caruso on how Neymar came to be in xXx: Return of Xander Cage
The director of xXx 3 talks about working with the Brazilian footballing superstar
Jon Lyus
There is a very surreal moment in DJ Caruso's xXx Return of Xander Cage when actor Samuel L. Jackson & Neymar share the screen together. The curious casting of Neymar, the Brazilian forward and star of Barcelona's current football team, alongside Vin Disel in the third xXx film is certain to bring in a new audience eager to see their favourite on screen. We found out exactly how it came to be.
The film's cast is an eclectic one. Vin Diesel returns to the series which made his name along with the aforementioned Jackson, Toni Collette, Donnie Yen, Nina Dobrev, Ruby Rose and, of course, the footballing legend Neymar Jr. We sat down to interview the cast (see our interviews up on the site shortly) and in particular took time with director Caruso to talk about having Neymar on set. In a film series whose connection to reality often wanders off the beaten path the casting of Neymar and his appearance in the film seemed, to the director, to set the tone for the new xXx film.

The director was keen to tell us of the curious way he came to be cast, and the day he spent working with him. Caruso talked of having a Usain Bolt type character needed in the script and how he immediately wanted to cast the Brazilian footballer in the role. The left field casting seems to fit the strangeness of this film perfectly. The footballer's popularity is worldwide, and he was recently named as Europe's most valuable player. With this film he follows fellow sportsmen and women to engage a new audience.
You can see all of our interviews from the premiere of xXx Return of Xander Cage right here and below you can see the full video of Stefan Pape talking to DJ Caruso about the footballer's role in the new film.

Sharing your life with a dog (or dogs) is a big responsibility.
Dogs have graciously abandoned their wild ways to come life with us crazy humans. They've done their part and we must do ours.
Once you invite a dog into your home and life you have an obligation to do everything in your power to make dogs feel comfortable and fit into our world, which is so very different than their own. It should be your honor and duty to provide everything your dog needs to be a happy comfortable member of your family.
Since there is so much conflicting information out there regarding what you should and shouldn't do I thought I would clear things up and lay out the essentials for you.
And so, I present to you The 10 Commandments of Being A Responsible Dog Person.
Your dog not only needs a foundation of structure, but craves it. Rules help your dog understand what is expected of him and what the limitations are. It doesn't matter what your rules are, just that you have some.
Although dogs can make word associations, they will never learn our language. You can, however, learn to speak okay dog. Understand that dog's are non verbal (unlike us) so try to speak less and communicate more like a dog using body language (confident), eye contact (you want to yell and scream, just stare at your dog like your mom used to do when you did something bad as a kid) and physical presence (move into their space to take over resources).
Always make sure all communication is done calmly without anger or frustration.
A fenced in yard is not a babysitter. Dogs left in the yard unattended tend to develop more behavior problems because they're not being supervised and no one is there to tell them if they're doing the right thing or making mistakes.
Get out there with them and interact and teach them how to be good boys and girls in the back yard.
Dogs walk. It's just what they do. I don't care how nice your yard is, get them out of it and let them explore the world a little. Walking is good for dogs (and you) for a whole slew of reasons. Dogs not only need the exercise but (more importantly) they need the stimulation of their senses.
It's also a powerful bonding experience if you do it right. Sharing a nice, structured walk is one of the best ways to strengthen your relationship and get closer to your dog. Do it. More.
We live boring lives compared to what dogs are used to and just because you have responsibilities and stuff to do you still need to find ways to drain your dog's energy. I've never really met someone who's providing the amount of exercise that their dogs really wants and needs, so whatever you're doing, find ways to do more.
Remember, a tired dog is a good dog – always.
There's so many new studies out showing that we've been over vaccinating our dogs for years and it's not okay anymore. Yes, vaccines can save lives, however they can also end your dog's life early if given too often.
Be smart, do some research and don't let your vet bully you into getting yearly or unnecessary vaccinations. There now saying that many vaccines given as a puppy protect the dog for life.
Lack of socialization is the number one killer of dogs on the planet and the main reason for behavior problems. It's critical to socialize your puppy with people, dogs and the environment early (starting at 7 weeks) and continually through life.
This is so important because by the time you see the symptoms of lack of socialization, it's too late.
If you don't teach your dog how to behave, guess how he'll behave? Like a dog! And you're not going to like that behavior in our human world. Dogs are great learners and adapters but only if you show them what to do. Invest the time to work with your dog and cash in on those dividends for years to come. Dogs will NOT figure things out on their own.
No matter how much time you put into training your dog, they will never be perfect. Too many people forget that dogs can't understand us completely and will occasionally make mistakes – and that's okay. Expect dogs to occasionally chew something or bark or jump – that's just dogs being dogs.
Once you accept that and throw out the notion of "the perfect dog," you'll enjoy your life with your furry pal much better.
Here's the cold reality: your dog's life is way to short and time tends to fly by way too quickly. I know you have responsibilities and obligations and that sometimes you don't have time to spend with your dog, but please never forget how special they are and do everything in your power to make the most out of your time together. Dog's love the simple pleasures in life and you too should be always appreciate the ordinary awesomeness of every moment you have with your dog.
Take a moment every single day to show your dog some love and reflect on how very lucky you are to have them in your life.
There you have it. Those are my top ten things I want you to keep in mind each and every day.
It's our duty to follow and practice these commandments and do right by our dogs. They deserve it.

Harry Nelson Pillsbury (5 de desembre de 1872 – 17 de juny de 1906), fou un destacat jugador d'escacs estatunidenc. Als 22 anys, va guanyar un dels torneigs d'escacs més forts del , (el Torneig de Hastings 1895), però la seva malaltia i mort prematura varen evitar que lluités pel Campionat del món.

Biografia

Primers anys
Pillsbury va néixer a Somerville (Massachusetts), es va mudar a Nova York el 1894, i posteriorment a Filadèlfia el 1898.

Cap a 1890, quan només feia dos anys que jugava als escacs, va vèncer el destacat expert H. N. Stone. L'abril de 1892, Pillsbury va guanyar un matx per dues victòries a una contra el Campió del món Wilhelm Steinitz, qui li va donar avantatge de peó. L'ascens de Pillsbury fou meteòric, i aviat no va quedar ningú a l'àmbit novaiorquès que li pogués fer front.

Hastings 1895
El club d'escacs de Brooklyn va costejar el seu viatge a Europa per jugar al Torneig d'escacs de Hastings 1895, al qual hi participaven tots els millors jugadors del món del moment. Pillsbury, amb només 22 anys, va esdevenir una celebritat tant als Estats Units com arreu en guanyar el torneig, per davant del Campió del món regnant, Emanuel Lasker, l'ex-Campió del món Wilhelm Steinitz, els recents aspirants al tron mundial Mikhaïl Txigorin i Isidor Gunsberg, i els futurs aspirants Siegbert Tarrasch, Carl Schlechter i Dawid Janowski.

L'estil dinàmic que Pillsbury exhibí durant el torneig també va ajudar a popularitzar el gambit de dama durant els 1890, especialment mercès a la seva famosa victòria contra Siegbert Tarrasch.

Sant Petersburg 1895
El seu següent gran torneig fou a Sant Petersburg el mateix any, un torneig round-robin a sis rondes entre quatre dels cinc primers de Hastings (Pillsbury, Txigorin, Lasker i Steinitz; Tarrasch no hi va participar). Sembla que Pillsbury havia contret sífilis abans del començament del torneig. Tot i que era líder després de la primera meitat de l'esdeveniment (Pillsbury 6½ punts de 9, Lasker 5½, Steinitz 4½, Txigorin 1½), es va veure afectat per forts mals de cap i va puntuar només 1½/9 a la segona meitat, acabant finalment tercer (Lasker 11½/18, Steinitz 9½, Pillsbury 8, Txigorin 7). Va perdre un encontre crític contra Lasker, i Garri Kaspàrov ha suggerit que, en cas d'haver guanyat, podria haver guanyat el torneig i forçat un matx pel campionat del món contra Lasker.

Campió estatunidenc el 1897
A despit de la seva malaltia, Pillsbury va vèncer el campió estatunidenc Jackson Showalter el 1897 i va guanyar així el Campionat dels Estats Units, un títol que va tenir fins a la seva mort el 1906.

Declivi i mort
La mala salut mental i física li impedí de desenvolupar tot el seu potencial durant la resta de la seva vida. L'estigma que envoltava la sífilis, feia improbable que trobés un bon tractament mèdic, i va sucumbir a la malaltia el 1906.

Pillsbury és enterrat al cementiri de Laurel Hill, a Reading (Massachusetts).

Partides notables i marcadors amb rivals destacats

Pillsbury tenia un marcador igualat amb Lasker (+5 -5 =4). El va guanyar amb les peces negres a Sant Petersburg el 1895 i a Augsburg el 1900 (tot i que en aquest cas va ser una partida no oficial, no jugada en torneig):

1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 e4 4. Cc3 Cf6 5. De2 Ad6 6. d3 O-O 7. dxe4 Cxe4 8. Cxe4 Te8 9. Ad2 Af5 10. O-O-O Axe4 11. Dg4 f5 12. Dg3 Cd7 13. Ac3 Cf6 14. Ch3 Cg4 15. Ae2 Ae7 16. Axg4 (vegeu el diagrama) Ah4 17. Axf5 Axg3 18. Ae6+ Txe6 19. dxe6 De8 20. hxg3 Axg2 21. The1 Axh3 22. Td7 Dg6 23. b3 Te8 24. Te5 Axe6 25. Txc7 Dxg3 26. Rb2 h6 27. Txb7 Tc8 28. Ad4 Dg2 29. Txa7 Txc2+ 30. Rb1 Dd2 0-1

Pillsbury també tenia un marcador igualalt contra Steinitz (+5 -5 =3), i una mica pitjor contra Txigorin (+7 -8 =6), Tarrasch (+5 -6 =2) i contra Joseph Henry Blackburne (+3 -5 =4), mentre que guanyava David Janowski (+6 -4 =2) i Géza Maróczy (+4 -3 =7) i tenia un significatiu bon marcador contra Carl Schlechter (+8 -2 =9).

Habilitat pel joc a la cega
Pillsbury va ser un molt fort jugador d'escacs a la cega, i podia jugar simultàniament a dames i escacs, al mateix temps que jugava una mà de whist, i recitava una llista de paraules llargues. El seu rècord era de 22 partides a la cega simultàniament, fet a Moscou el 1902. Però la seva major gesta va ser de 21 partides simultànies contra els jugadors del Hauptturnier de Hannover de 1902 - el guanyador del Hauptturnier seria reconegut com a mestre, i tot i això Pillsbury va puntuar +3 -7 =11.

Quan era adolescent, Edward Lasker va jugar amb Pillsbury en una exhibició a la cega a Breslau, contra els desitjos de la seva mare, i va recordar-ho a Chess Secrets I learned from the Masters:

No obstant això, aviat es va fer evident que jo hauria perdut la partida, fins i tot si jo hagués estat en el més tranquil dels estats d'ànim. Pillsbury va fer una actuació meravellosa, en guanyar 13 de les 16 partides a la cega, fent dues taules i perdent-ne només una. Jugava molt bé, i no va cometre errors [presumiblement en recordar les posicions]. La imatge de Pillsbury assegut tranquil·lament en una butaca, d'esquena als jugadors, fumant una cigarreta darrere l'altra, i responent els moviments dels seus oponents després d'una breu consideració d'una manera clara, sense titubejos, va tornar a la meva ment 30 anys més tard, quan jo arbitrava el rècord mundial d'Alekhin a l'Exposició universal de Chicago, on hi va jugar 32 partides simultànies a la cega. Va ser tota una demostració sorprenent, però Alekhin va cometre un bon nombre d'errors, i la seva actuació no em va impressionar tant com la de Pillsbury a Breslau.

Nine Gorgeous Women From the Past and Their Strangest Beauty Secrets
Leave a Comment on Nine Gorgeous Women From the Past and Their Strangest Beauty Secrets
Women's beauty has been a fixation of popular culture for a long, long time.
Okay, pretty much forever.
Today, beauty secrets are shared freely and may seem out of the ordinary, but the truth is that famous women in the public eye have been pulling out all the stops for quite some time.
No makeup is too bold and no health trick is too out-there for this select group of women, which was recently profiled by the website Brightside.me.
The first woman profiled is Ginger Rogers.
Rogers made waves when it was announced that she often slept outside.
She also said she hated beauty salons, believing that simplicity was the best approach to beauty. She would often apply a thick face cream at night, and then washed her face with an oil-based soap in the morning.
Rogers said her and her husband slept outside and only moved inside during the rainy season. She believed the fresh night's air helped her beauty and health quite a bit.
The second woman profiled is Jean Harlow.
Harlow was the first platinum blonde in Hollywood. She advised women to pat facial cream on their skin as opposed to rubbing it in to prevent skin damage.
She also claimed that teeth should be brushed in a circular motion as opposed to up and down, regardless of what type of toothbrush you use (I personally prefer bamboo toothbrushes like this one which lessens the impact of toxic plastics on the environment).
Harlow recommends rubbing hot olive oil on the scalp once or twice a month for growth and shine of the hair as well.
The third actress, Marilyn Monroe, used to have white triangles drawn in the corner of the eyes to make them appear bigger and wider.
Her stylists emphasized the insides of her eyelashes with red eye liner to make them appear lighter, and she added red lipstick to round out the fresh-faced, Covergirl look that is now world famous.
Vivien Leigh, who played Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind, would often color her lips so that the lipliner or lipstick extended beyond the lower line.
This was a way to make lips fuller according to a 1940s makeup guide.
Marlene Dietrich, another entrant to this list, invented her own type of cosmetic lifting since there was no plastic surgery during her day.
She used an adhesive plaster to tighten aging skin on her face and neck.
She used the same trick to tighten her neckline as well while wearing dresses without a bra.
Silent movie actress Fannie Ward was so youthful, it was said that she was able to play a 7-year-old girl at the age of 55.
One of her big secrets was hanging upside down from a door frame every day.
She believed that it helped wash the facial tissues and restore energy.
Today, many people still use a piece of equipment called an inversion table for this purpose and others.
One person said that the inversion table helped them to avoid surgery, and it is also said to be great for the health of the abdominal region.
As Young demonstrated, hanging upside down can be great for beauty as well.
Still another gorgeous woman on this list, Ida Lupino used salt peeling, self-massage with a washcloth, and a honey mask like this one.
Selena Royle put adhesive tape between her eyebrows in the shape of a rhombus, convincing her roommates to do the same thing to preserve their beauty during chores.
Carole Lombard, an actress, possessed a hypnotic look. Blue mascara (this one is made from beeswax and natural plant extracts) was one of her big secrets.
She advised women to open their mouths wide while applying the mascara so that their eyelids wouldn't tremble and the makeup would not get smeared.
Check out her gorgeous look below.
Michèle Mercier, a French actress, believed in using simple plant based facial and herbal creams instead of modern cosmetics.
Her look is sensational, and she did it without having to use lots of potentially toxic makeup chemicals like other actresses.

"Michigan has requested a full forensic audit."
Facebook Fact-checks

By Ciara O'Rourke May 11, 2021
No, Michigan hasn't requested a full forensic audit of election results
No more audits are planned, according to the secretary of state's office.
Six months after the 2020 presidential election, an audit of the election results in Maricopa County, Ariz., is underway at the behest of Republicans in the state's Senate. But such an audit hasn't been ordered in Michigan, contrary to claims spreading on social media.
"Michigan has requested a full forensic audit," one post said.
It was flagged as part of Facebook's efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
We reached out to the Michigan secretary of state's office to ask about the post. A spokesperson for the agency told us that it's "misinformation."
"No new audits are planned," media relations director Tracy Wimmer said in an email. "We conducted more than 250 around the state, and those were completed months ago."
Wimmer pointed us to a press release posted on the secretary of state website announcing that all of the audits "confirmed the integrity and accuracy of the 2020 general election."
John Rich
Cellphone data used to arrest the Idaho quadruple-murder suspect proves that criticism of the "2000 Mules" movie's use of cell data is unfounded.
There are ongoing efforts to challenge the election results in Michigan, but they're centered in Antrim County, Mich., which the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported is home to one of the last such active lawsuits in the country.
A circuit court judge heard arguments in the case on May 10 but has not yet decided on a motion by the county and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to dismiss the lawsuit,.
But the judge did grant a motion by the county and Benson to quash the plaintiffs' subpoenas to conduct a forensic review of tabulators, election equipment and ballots used in Antrim County townships.
A human error in unofficial election night results briefly showed Joe Biden winning Antrim County, a GOP stronghold. That fueled an unfounded conspiracy theory that Dominion Voting Systems tabulators switched votes from Donald Trump to President Joe Biden. A hand recount of the ballots affirmed that Trump won that county.
Cyber Ninjas, the company the Senate in Arizona hired to lead the audit there, is listed in court documents as an expert witness for the plaintiff in the Antrim County lawsuit. Among the documents filed in support of the lawsuit is an inaccurate report about the tabulators and an analysis that falsely claims an algorithm was used to manipulate election results there.
In December, the judge in this case allowed the plaintiff to have a third party conduct a forensic examination of the county's voting equipment. A motion by an Antrim County commissioner to hire a third party to conduct a forensic audit of the county's election results was tabled until a June meeting.
We rate this post False.

Roger Federer Speaks Out Regarding Gambling Scandal
Jagajeet Chiba
Nov/10/2010
Roger Federer is now talking in regard to a gambling scandal that threatened to rock the world of tennis.
Federer said on Tuesday that he had requested a detailed explanation from Ted Forstmann, the head of his management company IMG, after a lawsuit was filed claiming Forstmann had increased a bet on the 2007 French Open based on information provided to him by Federer.
Forstmann, who also represents Tiger Woods, is being sued in the Los Angeles County Superior Court by Agate Printing, Inc. for fraud, interference with contract and breach of contract.
Jim Agate, who runs the printing company, also contends in the lawsuit that he served as a conduit for hundreds of bets totaling millions of dollars that Forstmann placed on sporting events, including the 2007 French Open final, which Federer lost to Rafael Nadal.
Federer denies any wrongdoing. "I would never do such a thing," he said.
"I reached out and told him I want to know everything about it, how this came about. And he's been, you know, nice enough obviously to tell me from his side and has been very open in the press already. So that's O.K. He's not my agent. Tony is my guy, but still, it's a firm that does a lot in sports, so it's just something that for me is important to know what is going on from their side, too."

One year ago this week my wife and I set out from London for Tanzania and more specifically Arusha. My plans were vague, but had everything to do with IT and the developing world. A year ago as I boarded the plane for Kilimanjaro International Airport I was a naïve young mbuzi, imagining that I had a lot to teach Tanzania about the internet. I was about to assist an old friend in setting up an internet café which would show those Africans what the internet was about. Of course, on my first wanderings around Arusha I found that our internet café would be one among many – so much for ground breaking.
I discovered that in Tanzania the hurdles that encumber an IT project are rarely technical. Finding and moving into a suitable location took several weeks, exacerbated by the landlord's reluctance to hand over the keys even after a year's rent had been forked out. Setting up the network of computers proved a breeze in comparison to the endless wait for Cybernet's technicians to turn up and connect us. Weeks went by waiting in earnest for our connection. Why couldn't they just have told us they were out of hardware rather than pretending it would happen today? At least we got to know the inside of our office, and had plenty of time to make sure all our own hardware was working.
On opening I discovered that Tanzanians are well aware of many of the opportunities offered by the Internet, particularly those that require the use of a secluded computer in the corner. Our customers where chatting away on Yahoo Chat and Dar Hot Wire, firing off emails to every corner of the world, looking up the latest malaria treatment information and finding out the details of where those weapons of mass destruction were supposed to be that particular week. What a warm and fuzzy feeling it gave me to feel that I played a part in enabling this. But it wasn't something brand new in Arusha.
So I turned to another project – setting up an internet connection for a school near Moshi. There it would be something new. It would blow their minds to finally be hooked up to the rest of the world. There would be music like they had never imagined, video links to small towns in Northern England and the latest Hollywood movies downloaded the day they came out in Europe.
Unfortunately my naiveté was met by that of the Europeans who had sent a large consignment of second hand computers to Tanzania some years before. The school had been saddled with obsolete machines which had become cosy nests for mice, and with which I could do nothing. Even if I could have done something, was an internet connection something that school could really use? The cost was certainly a burden it did not need. How long would it take for the benefits of hyper-present communication to affect that school? Progress is now being made with the help and advice of experts in Arusha who have assisted other schools on similar projects in the past. Within a year or two I visualise the school with a well equipped computer room, and staff well on the way to understanding how to use computers in their working day. The next step will be to begin teaching the students how computers can help in their future careers and businesses. At this stage an internet connection might be considered. When planning my missions in Tanzania I had imagined everything would happen at the speed of thought, but the real world isn't like that. I'd also imagined knowledge and experience needed bringing in from outside, but it is already here!
Looking for another project inspiration hit me – I realised I could share some of my practical knowledge and enthusiasm with a wider community through the magic not of the internet, but by writing for a good old fashioned newspaper. With some trepidation I approached the editor of the Arusha Times with my idea for a story on junk email and practical ways of dealing with it. To my great surprise William was happy to publish the story and the rest is history.
certainly be back in the future – there are so many things we haven't seen or done. In the IT field, as I have written before, the future is rosy for Tanzania, and I am proud to have been able to document some of the reasons.


Considering the awesome responsibilities that come with holding the highest office on the planet, it is quite an honor to have received a response from The White House on such a consequential issue. It not only gratifies me, but it renews my faith in our democracy. A personal response from The White House is an incredible testament to our democratic system. We live in a country which grants all citizens the rights to freedom of speech and press. Citizens have the capability to reach out to public servants, and discuss the policy that is going to be affecting their lives. For this, I am not only thankful, but also extremely proud. I am proud to be one of the 315 million people who boasts the stars and the stripes, and I am incredibly proud to be an optimistic American. Thank you Barack Obama, and thank you to every last voice who makes our America greater than it's ever been.


Femtocells are low power wireless access points that connect mobile devices to operators' network using a cable broadband or residential DSL connection. Using these devices, a network operator can provide high quality voice and data transmission to its subscribers. Some of the benefits of femtocells are scalable deploying, backward compatibility with the macro cellular technology, reduced transmission power, portability of devices, low-cost deployment and improved coverage that results in prolonging mobile battery life among others. By installing a femtocell, a customer can experience seamless communication through excellent indoor coverage at reduced charges. Femtocells are used in residential, enterprise and public space segments, where enterprise segment is expected to experience fastest growth in the coming years.
The global femtocell market was worth USD 420 million in 2012 and is expected to reach USD 4,706 million in 2019; growing at a CAGR of 37.1% from 2013 to 2019. The market has witnessed robust growth due to technological advancements in the femtocell technology and decreasing cost of femtocell devices. Additionally, its high adoption in the residential segment coupled with increasing demand from the enterprise segment is driving the market. Furthermore, the growing popularity of integrated femtocells is additionally supporting the market.
A major factor restraining the growth of femtocells market is the availability of substitutes in the forms of Wi-Fi and picocells. These devices are superior to femtocells and thus femtocells are facing tough competition from them at present. However, the adoption of femtocells in the enterprise segment and the growth of LTE femtocells are expected to drive the demand in the coming years. Moreover, integration of femtocells with other technologies such as Wi-Fi and RFID provides potential opportunities to the market in the coming years.
Geographically, North America acquired the largest market in 2012. This is due to high adoption and increasing demand for this technology from both residential and enterprise sector. The market is expected to grow further, with mounting femtocell deployments by key mobile operators. Europe follows North America and developments in the form of femtocell deployments and commitments by mobile operators are expected to positively support this market in the coming years.
Femtocells are low power devices that are used to improve the mobile network coverage. These plug and play devices use a broadband connection to connect to the cellular operator. Femtocells improve the transmission of both voice and data, thus gained attention of the mobile subscribers. These devices can be used standalone or integrated along with other networks such as macro cell or Wi-Fi. The integrated use of these devices is increasing due to high operational performance. Femtocells are available for different networks such as 2G, 3G and 4G (LTE), however key players are focusing on the development of LTE femtocells. Poor network due to signal attenuation in buildings and continuous focus of operators to fill network gaps in urban areas are the major factors driving the market. However, the growth of LTE femtocells is expected to drive the demand in the coming years.

If global capital markets continue to fall and recession brings deflation and lower standards of living accompanied by social suffering, family businesses likely will be impacted in a variety of ways.
Stock market declines, for example, have already stopped many family company decisions to go public or to sell. That=s probably unfortunate. Those who wish or need to exit as family businesses probably should be encouraged to do so. Reluctant hangers-on face business inefficiencies and mounting family frustrations that tear at productivity and family cohesiveness.
Recessions cause businesses to tighten their belts. Spending is cut ... so investments in family business education, consulting, family meetings, board of directors development and the like may suffer. On the other hand, perhaps these are exactly the times when investment in personal and family growth is most important.
If recessionary pressures cut into family business profits, family business leaders will face difficult choices. To preserve profitability, they will be tempted to cut funding for long-term strategic initiatives, community or employee programs or other spending. Communicating financial performance to non-employee shareholders may become especially challenging---particularly if you've enjoyed a long run of prosperity. We urge you to prepare family owners by making sure they understand the circumstances facing the business and any programs designed to foster strategic growth or family values. Encourage shareholders to be aware of costs associated with such initiatives and the progress achieved toward expected outcomes. Invite shareholder questions, discussion and input. Managing shareholder expectations is perhaps one of the most important tasks of family business leaders, especially in tough economic climates.
Political and cultural ramifications are perhaps the most profound responses to harsh economic times. Already there are popular calls for fiscal stimulation of the economy, more protectionism, and tougher federal regulation. Undisclosed currency exposures, investment risks, and leverage levels have prompted calls for more transparency.
Increased government intervention is a cause of concern. Artificially re-inflating the economy will burden future generations with more national debt and higher taxes. Government bail outs reduce responsible behavior as people come to expect protection from their own naivete, greed or careless due diligence. If public psychology moves away from confidence in the marketplace, the special advantages of responsible, conscientious family firms will wane. And, future society will surely pay a dear price.
One likely government policy, besides restraint, does make sense: more disclosure, more transparency. Increased public information of private enterprise practices, coupled with a vigilant private press, would promote more moderation, more due diligence, more acceptance of personal responsibility for investment decisions, and more honest business behavior. Higher levels of information and honesty only improve the working of free markets.
Many family businesses may recoil at this proposal. It is a mixed bag for family firms.
A final possible consequence of tough economic times is increased dissatisfaction with capitalism. If the glory of capitalism is attacked, not far behind will be increased contempt for personal wealth, especially inherited wealth. Taxing the "rich" may become judged as "necessary" to make up for fiscal bailouts and the costs of unemployment. Hope for reducing death and gift taxes will further decline.
If private enterprise B especially private firms B becomes misperceived as the culprit behind bad times, a lesson from family firm experience in long unstable political and economic countries may become more relevant. In such societies, family firms may be protected against arbitrary populist and government attack to the extent they are seen as actively supporting a better society.
