Are all-season tires good enough for winter driving?

When CTV News caught up to Niall Zybutz from Edmonton, he was waiting in the Kal Tire lounge. His cube truck was in the bay getting outfitted with winter tires because he was about to cross the Coquihalla Highway.
"You need those winter tires. The difference is huge," he said. "I was brought up in one of those families, you know, all-season's good enough and the first time I drove with winter tires it was a remarkable difference."
And driving tests have proven it. In past years, CTV News has participated in controlled driving tests that demonstrated how winter tires have superior braking, manoeuvring and acceleration capabilities in colder weather compared to all-season tires.
"This tire has tremendous grip at low temperature," said Kal Tire spokesman Bill Gardiner.
While all-season tires are generally good in three seasons, they start to lose their grip when temperature falls below 7 C, whether on wet pavement or in snow.
While the winter tire is the preferred choice in cold weather, there is another popular option that works well in the Lower Mainland. It's the all-weather tire.
"You move to an all-weather tire or winter, you're hooked up. All of a sudden it's got grip right from the word go," Gardiner said.
However, in extreme winter conditions – very low temperatures and snow – the winter tires outperform the all-weather tire.
All season tires have the M + S symbol, meaning mud and snow, and in B.C. they are considered the minimum acceptable winter tire. However, you could be turned away on some roads where only tires bearing the three peak snow flake symbol and the M + S are allowed.
Both the winter tire and the all-weather tire have the three peak snow flake and M + S symbol.
According to Kal Tire, the price difference between all season comparable tires and winter tires and all-weather tires is minimal over the long term. The cost comes in changing out your tires and balancing.
And it's recommended when you store your tires you place them in a tire bag, tied and taped to prolong their life because tires breakdown over time when exposed to air. The average life of a tire is about six years.
If you're not convinced about winter tires ask Zybutz about the difference in braking on cold surfaces.
"The difference is about 20 metres, I'd say."
Why winter tires will save you in colder weather.

Ever since I was very young, mirrors have always held a sort of fascination for me.
And why shouldn't they? They are among the only ways we can see ourselves as others see us, and they offer us a glimpse into infinity when placed together. But it was always something "eery" about the mirror that drew my attention to it, and this eeriness did me the great service of showing me something important about my perception of the world.
When I look into a mirror, I immediately become unsettled. I suddenly get an impression of how transcendently odd it is that I exist at all, that I am a perceiving being looking through a pair of eyes at some piece of shiny glass. I feel an incredible sense of how unlikely it is that I am a bag of meat and water rushing around a flaming ball of gas, and I wonder why there is so much of this needless complication in the world. But I ramble.
If I were to use another analogy, think of watching a character on a perpetually-running television show. It could be a wonderful character, worthy of praise and esteem, but you would naturally recoil in disbelief if someone told you that that character was you. But that, of course, is just what looking into a mirror feels like. I feel like I am a transcendent observer, and when a mirror reminds me that I exist in a specific space and time, it feels odd and unnatural. But why is this? Could there be a psychological reason why I feel fundamentally disconnected with the contingent world? I believe there is, and I have a theory to that effect.
The key to seeing how I perceive the world involves examining how I think of my self in relation to others. A neurotypical person perceives his or herself as one object among many, and thus the best model for their perception of humanity would be one where people act like atoms, which though they interact, are most definitely separate and distinct from each other. In other words, the universe according to the non-aspie is one where everyone has something which is distinctly "theirs", something which fundamentally distinguishes them from all others in the world. My universe, on the other hand, is quite different. If the neurotypical person thinks of human beings as a bunch of discrete and separate particles, I tend to think of them as leaves on an enormous and ever-branching tree. What, then, is the trunk? Why, only myself! I tend to think of every person, place, or thing in fundamentally the the same way which I think about myself, and thus do not see a strong difference between myself and the various components of the world. Do I therefore inflate my ego to the edge of extremity? Quite the opposite; I have no sense of self whatsoever.
The neurotypical will almost always have a strong sense of personal identity, a feeling which gives them a certain sense of "groundedness" in themselves as a person distinct from other people. For me, this feeling is curiously absent; I see no fundamental distinction between myself and others, and I only seem to do so because my language and society forces me in that direction. You see, our society takes it for granted that the "I", the "me", the "you", and the "we" exist, as we use these words every day without thought. But I will venture to say that if a neurotypical peeked into my mind (or vice versa) they would discover that it has a greatly differing conception of what these terms mean.
To give an additional example of this principe, sometimes I find myself unwittingly saying things in a conversation for which the other person is normally responsible. You see, if it comes to the point in a verbal exchange where the other person should say "thank you", I will often turn the tables and thank them. This occurs because I do not perceive two distinct "parts" in this conversation, but instead see it as continuum which, if anything, merely fluctuates from side-to-side. In other words, I do not think deep-down that any one person should say "thank you", but rather that "thank you" should be said.
I hypothesize that this is true not just for me, but for other aspies as well. I know of at least one other case in which this is true, but I invite any aspie readers to comment (anonymously, if you wish) about their experiences with these kinds of feelings. Is this an "aspie thing"? Or am I just crazy? I'm eager to find out.
I want to tell you a story. This tale, although it may seem strange, tells of how I used an experiment to finally begin to overcome the struggles I have had since childhood, and how I finally started to see the into the souls of others. I am not perfect; I still have decades of progress ahead of me, and I in no way claim to be "done" with my struggles. But I have found great peace which has heretofore remained absent, and I want to tell you how I stumbled upon it.
Cut to the 27th day of last May. For some reason, that night I became acutely aware of my life as someone fundamentally isolated from others. I realized deep down that I have a disability which prevented me from connecting to anyone without great effort, and that I did not see that connection on the horizon anywhere in the future. So, I wept. Real grief overcame me, and when I recovered from the initial shock, I began to chat with a friend (another aspie) on Facebook about the issue. I asked him if he ever felt cut-off from others, and he told me to my surprise that he used to, but that he didn't feel that way anymore. I asked him what had changed, and he didn't really know, but I began to assemble the pieces in my head: my friend overcame these feelings in high school, when he started exploring the various facets of role-playing. Whether in acting, RPGs, or other places, I realized that his attempts to step into the skin of fictional character directly corresponded to his renewed ability to connect. And why shouldn't it? After all, isn't that what empathy is at its core?
So, I decided to experiment. Though the details are very personal and private, I will say that I began to write creatively, and to use a sort of fictional "avatar" in it to embody all the qualities I desired in myself (empathy, kindness, emotional intelligence, and virtue). I also greatly toned down my self-criticism, and I used this creative writing to pour out my inner emotions and subconscious thoughts. The results were surprising - I found insights in it that I did not consciously intend, but yet were very applicable to my life at that moment. This process was amazing - I learned more about myself than ever because of it, and I slowly became more self-conscious and self-aware.
It was around this point in time that my family began a trip to France, and on the plane ride there a new development occurred. I began again to do this creative writing, but this time it was more difficult, and it was like a wall was erected between me and further progress. But I persisted, and I finally broke through. My heart then began to glow within me, and I started to feel great relief, like I had never felt before. For the next hour, I felt so much peace, love, and comfort that it was overwhelming - my heart was bursting, and I experienced what my religion calls a "burning in the bosom". If I could put it differently, it felt like a great weight which my heart had held for years was suddenly lifted, and like I was free.
As the plane landed and my family began to explore the streets of Paris, more developments occurred. Now, I had always been a toe-walker, and you can imagine my surprise when my parents pointed out to me that I was walking heel-toe! I didn't even think about it, and yet this symptom of Asperger's simply disappeared. And as of today, it is still gone. Other things slowly started to change, too - my posture straightened, my handwriting greatly improved, and I began to eat and walk more slowly and deliberately.
As if the painting was screaming to me, I suddenly felt a strong sense of desperation, dejection, and despair radiate to me from the canvas. I looked into Vincent's wide-open eyes, and for some reason I suddenly had a real sense of what it was like to be him - I felt pain and depression emanate from his gaze, and I knew that he felt like all hope was gone, and that his eyes silently pleaded for help. This was not mere projection. When I entered the museum I was as chipper as possible, but this magnificent painting made me do a complete U-turn into Van Gogh's humbling despair. Still, I too had felt his feelings (perhaps in lesser degrees) but in that moment it didn't matter - Vincent's pain and my pain flowed together across the decades, and they seemed to become one. Again, I began to weep.
As if I was hit by a cargo train of glorious emotion, Vincent's pain became transformed into a new feeling - pure joy. The sunlight streaming in from the ceiling filled the room like palpable glory, and everything began to shine with radiant light. The colors became more vivid, the sounds more distinct, and everything, in short, became new. As I continued to shed tears, I looked around. The connection I felt with Vincent Van Gogh I began to feel with everyone I could see - I could see the boredness of the children, the raptness of the art fans, and the longsuffering of the unhappy families. I felt it all, and pain, joy, and love mingled together into a splendor of emotion like nothing I had ever felt.
Other things began to improve upon my return home - I read and thought more quickly, I became more confident in social situations, and amazingly, I naturally made eye contact for the majority of the time. In fact, all these things continue to this very day. Now, I acknowledge that my success my wane over time, but I have had peaks and troughs of progress in the past, and the peaks (as perhaps this one will be) always overcome the troughs. But it makes me wonder: why? Nothing I had done over the two decades of my life had ever given me as much sheer connection as I started feeling in France, and so the only logical conclusion is that it has something to do with my experiment.
Why did it happen? Well, I have a theory: I have noticed that I do more activities using a "manual transmission" than neurotypicals. While most people do things like socialization and connection on autopilot, I need to do them with often-exhausting conscious effort. Thus, I think my experiment worked because it acted as practice for this subconscious action I found so difficult. But more than that, the fact that my fictional "avatar" embodied all the qualities I desired means that it kindled the specific part of my dormant subconscious which I needed. Rather, my capacity for connection lay buried, but writing vicariously as a figure who already possessed it allowed me to unearth it in myself.
Like I said, I have not fixed all my problems - I still obsess, and I still don't make eye contact as much as others. But I have gone leaps and bounds ahead of any progress I have made in the past, and I feel it would be irresponsible and selfish of me if I didn't try to share my joy with other aspies. So if you have Asperger's, I invite you to consider emulating my project. I do not mean in any way to impose my beliefs upon you, but if you've reached the end of your rope as far as hope for connection is concerned, the desire to help in me urges you to at least try it out. After all, the worst that could happen is that it doesn't work, and nothing would be lost.
1. Do it without any self-criticism. Pour your emotions and thoughts into whatever artistic medium you choose, and do it without thinking of how good it is or if other people would like it. In fact, don't think about it at all - just create.
2. Somehow embody in your work the qualities which you lack, but desire to possess. Thus, if you do the emotional outpouring of #1, reign it in only as far as to point it in the direction of those traits. This will seem awkward at first, but if you're like me, it will become much more natural as you progress. And hopefully, the traits will shine through in your everyday life.
I make no guarantee that this will work. But it has worked for me, and if there's even the slightest chance that it will help someone else, I am morally obligated to bring it to their attention.
That's all for now. If you're at all interested to learn the specific details of my experiment, email me and we'll talk. If not, have a wonderfully hope-filled day!
Jorge Luis Borges once wrote a short story called The Library of Babel, about a universe made up entirely of ever-ascending hexagonal rooms full of books. He goes on over the course of the work to explain that within this infinite library, there exists at least one book containing each possible combination of characters (given a certain number of pages). This means that somewhere within the depths of this place there is a book which validates you, which explains everything you ever wanted to know about yourself, your relationships with family and friends, or even your future. Now imagine knowing that this information was out there, that you could find a book which would affirm and console you beyond measure - you would naturally set out on a quest to find whatever this book is. But what if you were blind? What if, like Borges himself, you lacked the ability to read the books which populated your world?
Human beings live in a world of emotional connection, where more than seventy percent of communication happens independent of words, and where one typically has the ability to connect with another by merely looking them in the eyes. This is a veritable library of information, available to all who wish to peruse its contents. That is, it is there to all except the emotionally blind.
To have Asperger's Syndrome is to be blind in a library or an art gallery, or to be deaf at a symphony or a rock concert. It is to know fully well that everyone else can connect almost magically with each other, but that you are utterly alone in your skin, destined to be forever solitary as you walk along the corridors of your mind. It is to know that you are cut off from the rest of the world, and that your efforts to connect with it will almost always fail.
I have Asperger's, and I know this pain all too well. But I have been uniquely blessed with a knack for introspective thought, and so I have had the unique ability to describe the subjective aspect of my condition in rich detail for anyone who wanted to know. And through the self-spelunking this introspection entails, I have discovered amazing insights about my condition which have helped me immensely.
I have searched and prayed for a way to help those afflicted with my condition, so that I can let them know what glorious hope shines through the limitations which we have been given as aspies. So if you suffer from AS, I now speak to you directly: there is hope. Though a wall may seem to cut you off from the rest of the world, know that there are ways to pass through it, even if they differ from methods of a neurotypical. Know that it is completely possible to read the books which inhabit the library of the human race, even if you must learn to see with different eyes. I have begun to see with them myself, and while I do not boast, I can testify that you are not inherently destined to be forever blind.
This is The Introspective Aspie; in this blog I will attempt to share with you the insights I have garnered from my self-exploration, in hopes that they will help the aspie in their life. I acknowledge that I only speak from my experience, (or those of close aspie friends) and so they may not apply to you in particular. But I believe that if I help a single soul find peace, I will have done something worthwhile, and the blog will have achieved its goal.
This blog is my attempt to share the insights I have garnered about myself as an aspie (one who has Asperger's Syndrome) through self-exploration and introspection. My hope is that, by sharing them with the world, I can help at least one person in overcoming their trials with AS. If I can do this, I will be fulfilled.


The Foundation has decided to take a hiatus from funding in the Teacher Professional Development area. The Foundation came to this decision after considerable deliberation on how best to support teacher professional development during a time of transition in Chicago Public Schools.
The Foundation has been closely monitoring CPS's emerging priorities on Common Core State Standards and the CPS Framework for Effective Teaching. School principals are being encouraged to use the longer school day to provide common planning time and teacher professional development focused on these two new priorities. And, the CPS Office of Professional Learning has new guidelines for professional development partners.
The Foundation's grantees in this area are strong organizations with good programs that contribute to improving teaching and learning. However, we have heard from a growing number of Teacher Professional Development grantees that they are experiencing increasing difficulty sustaining school partnerships and aligning their programs with CPS priorities. These uncertainties have made it difficult for some of our grantees to implement programs as designed.
Given the new priorities in CPS and the challenges our Teacher Professional Development grantees are experiencing, the Foundation believes a hiatus will provide an opportunity for the Foundation to review its teacher professional development grantmaking strategy in order to address the current professional development needs of CPS teachers and how to help our grantees do their best work.
In order to allow grantee organizations time to plan alternative funding options, current grantees which are supported for teacher professional development programs are invited to submit a proposal for a final year of support for these activities. Proposal reviews will take into consideration current agreements with schools and indications that programs will take place as proposed, as well as the ongoing stability and effectiveness of programs. An invitation to submit a proposal is not an indication of the likelihood of funding.
We will keep you apprised of our progress and will contact you when a new Program Officer for the Education program has been selected and when new guidelines for Teacher Professional Development grantmaking are in place. If you have questions about any of the information in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact the Foundation.

Render Unto Rove The Things That Are Rogue And Unto God The Things That Are God's
The original notice that Karl Rove, former Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush, would be speaking at Cedarville University in Ohio came from Warcriminalswatch.org. What piqued my interest is how a Bible-based fundamentalist university would invite the country's most famous Machiavellian to speak on Constitution Day.
As a frequent critic of Rove, my writings have argued that he's not only a war criminal as Bush's advisor during the illegal Iraq War, but also a violator of human rights on the issue of torture for supporting Bush's torture policies. Also, I've argued that he's a criminal racketeer because of his illegal activities regarding the Florida presidential election in 2000 and the Ohio election in 2004.
To Cedarville University's credit, the Alpha Sigmas invited me to speak prior to Rove's visit and outline my case against him. The 60 or so people who filled the lecture room applauded politely at the beginning, and even at the end, but that was nothing compared to the standing ovation Rove would get in the Jeremiah Chapel during his introduction and conclusion.
The title of Rove's Constitution Day speech was "2012: Choosing our Future." This was a little less academic than my "The Rovian Dilemma: Machiavellian or Moralist" speech.
Rove was shockingly charming during his introduction. Preceding him, perhaps ironically, the school's choir belted out The Battle Hymn of the Republic" a northern battle cry to greet the faux Texan, Rove.
Rove began by reading the preamble to the Constitution and then introducing his theme of the "big choices" before the thousands assembled. He launched into a fairly detailed attack on the Obama stimulus plan around the talking point "we cannot spend our way to prosperity." In Rove's analysis, Bush's trillion dollar bailout of the "too big to fail" investment banks is forgotten, as is the massive debt run up under his administration, the great recession he triggered, and the yearly surplus that existed at the end of the Clinton years.
Rove should be given credit for not using rubber numbers in his current criticism of Obamanomics. However, he pushed heavily what scholars call "the Horatio Alger myth," where mythical small entrepreneurs under a limited government flourish and save America. Rove's plea to continue the un-taxing of the rich, many of them contributors to Rove's American Crossroads political action committee (PAC), centered around the theme "we're not a country of resentment."
Apparently, poor people and middle class people get excited and draw pleasure from the lifestyles of the rich, famous and untaxed. In the Rovian world, working people like to pack up factories and help giant corporation move to China because they know what's good for rich people is good for America. And, after all, if anybody who wants can get rich, why do you really need any social problems that aid the poor and unemployed?
But where Rove really milks the applause from the fundamentalist crowd is on the subject of all things militaristic. As one of our country's most famous chicken hawks, Rove liked to talk about the "nine young men in uniform in Dr. Smith's class" where he had lectured earlier in the day on political science. One can only hope that the men in uniform there would honor their oath to the U.S. Constitution and their specific commitment to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, by arresting Rove.
His big ending centered around a Navy Seal who had taken enemy fire in his face and by God, that SEAL was one of God's happiest men for the privilege of waging war in a far-off land for ever shifting reasons, against ill-equipped foes. What Rove realizes is that modern right-wing fundamentalism has merged Christianity and nationalism and that Cedarville's version of the corporate war-mongering Jesus prevails over the Prince of Peace and the Christ of the Sermon on the Mount.
What Rove took from Machiavelli is obvious. Machiavelli famous advice to the Prince – to be the first one out on high holy days, to make a public demonstration of religious ritualistic commitment, but not taking any of Jesus' actual values seriously.
Rove took the same approach to the U.S. Constitution, going out of his way to praise Obama only for not closing Guantanamo Bay. "I applaud him for it," Rove stated.
In Rove's final shredding of the U.S. Constitution, he told the students that there are no rights for "bad people" at Guantanamo because they're "not a criminal, but an enemy." Apparently in Rove's world, due process for criminals and military combatants are waived if you're a "bad person."
He went on to justify his analysis in one of the most convoluted applications of logic that I've heard in recent memory. In an analysis that would have made Machiavelli blush, he gave Bush the credit for killing Osama bin Laden by arguing that during enhanced interrogation (read: torture) five years earlier, some bad people at Guantanamo lied about some people in Pakistan. Thus, five years later, people working for Obama were able to figure out that the people being tortured under Bush lied and were actually working for Osama bin Laden. Hence, the undiscovered lies from the torture victims led to the killing of bin Laden.
In a press conference prior to his speech on the Constitution, Rove told reporters that he plans to raise a quarter of a billion dollars with his independent PACS American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS to influence the election in key battleground states like Ohio. In 2004, a Cedarville professor and some students helped then-Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell monitor Ohio's election count, even when it was outsourced to a Republican-owned computer company in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Computer security expert Stephen Spoonamore, a lifelong Republican, has denounced that shift of the vote counting as a "man-in-the-middle attack" that illegally altered the vote count between Kerry and Bush in Bush's favor.
Cedarville University must worry about whether it gains access to the political world of Karl Rove, but loses its soul. The University must render under Rove the things that are illegal and render under God their conscience.

Othello Talbot
I don't know much about my Great Grandmother, other than the vital statistics. Her name was Myrtle Talbot, and she died in 1939, so none of her living grandchildren were old enough to know much about her, either.
Her family has been a little challenging to find givin the various spellings of the names, Talbot. It has been recorded as "Talbert," "Tolbott," "Falbert," and even "Lalvat." Othello may have been called "Phil." His sister, Adelia, called Lelia, May, or Mae, and his brother, Leon or Leland.
I do know that the research I have on her family makes me feel sad.
Her Father, Othello Talbot, was born at Assyria, Barry Co., MI on August 2, 1848 to John B Talbot (maybe called "Buren.") and Arvilla Andrews. He had a sister (Adelia Mae) who was a year older, and a brother (Leon) who was 3 years younger. In 1863, John enlisted as a Private in Co. H, 6th Michigan Cavalry. He died on February 29, 1864 from pleuro-pneumonia at the Third Division Hospital, Alexandra, Virginia.
Othello was just 5 years old.
3 months later, she married a widower with 4 or 5 young children named Erastus Warren. I feel like it was probably a marriage of necessity, she needed support and he needed help with his children. Although she was later to recieve John's pension.
For some reason, they are living separately in Bellevue, Eaton Mi. in 1870. Erastus Warren's household includes 2 young girls (aged 3 and 5) who are possibly Arvilla's children as well.
When Othello was 14 years old, his mother died (April 18, 1873.) What do 3 young children with no parents do in 1873? Were they welcome in their step-fathers home? Did they go to live with one of their many aunts and uncles in Barry Co.?
By 1880, Othello was married to my 2nd Great-Grandmother, Ella Odell. Ella was 17 years old and they lived with Ella's widowed mother on her farm. Myrtle was born on March 31, 1881 and she was their only child.
I'm assuming that they were still farming in 1889. Probably still with Ella's mother, Sarah Pierce Strong Odell (hm, why do I think that? I don't know. Other than Sarah still had the farm, and probably needed the help.)
I'm not sure if Othello was a firefighter, part of a "gang of men" who went to help, or an employee of Higgins'Mill, but He was at the big fire on October 15, 1889...
Charlotte Tribune, October 23, 1889.
Listed under local news.
On Wednesday morning of last week our neighboring village of Bellevue suffered an irreparable loss in the death of one of her estimable citizens and in the burning of Higgins' saw and planing mill, cider and jelly works and fruit evaporator. The fire was discovered about 8 o'clock a.m. and the fire company was soon at work but the flames proved uncontrollable, and soon this institution, which was furnishing work to about 30 men, was reduced to ashes.
One of the firemen, Mr. Othello Talbert, while helping to remove the cider press, was caught by falling timbers and received injuries to his skull that proved fatal a few hours after the accident. Mr.Talbert was an industrious young man of good habits. He leaves a wife and child. Several others were slightly injured.
Probably no institution in Bellevue was doing more to give employment to the people than Higgin's mill. The loss will be felt by all. Mr. Higgins' loss was upwards of $4,000 and his insurance but $500. Being a public spirited, pushing, energetic man, it is more than likely that he will rebuild. Mr. Jas. Holden, who had an interest in the evaporator business, lost about $400.
Kalamazoo Gazette, Thursday, October 17, 1889
BELLEVUE, Oct. 16 - This afternoon Higgins' planing and saw mill, cider and jelly works and evaporator burned. The fire probably caught from the burning sulphur in the bleacher. About 30 hands are thrown out of employment. The loss is about $5000; insurance $500.
During the progress of the fire a gang of men attempted to move the cider press, which fell on Phil Talbot, a young married man, crushing his skull. He is yet alive but cannot survive. Another man was overcome by the heat but recovered consciousness a little later.

Fatal Fire
Bellevue the Loser of an Industry Today.
BELLEVUE, Mich., Oct. 16 -- This forenoon Higgins' planing and saw mill, cider and jelly works and evaporator were burned. The fire probably caught from the burning sulphur in the bleacher. About 30 hands are thrown out of employment. The loss is $5000, with $500 Insurance. During the progress of the fire a gang of men attempted to move a cider press, which fell on Phil Lalvat, a young married man, crushing his skull. He is yet alive but can't survive. Another man was overcome by the heat but recovered consciousness a little later.
The accident left my Great-Grandmother fatherless at 6 years old.

Q: Select target of link I have a list of six links to on page anchors and I want to animate the scroll to them.
HTML:

One
Two
Three

Four
Five
Six

jQuery:
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {

$("#nav a").click(function(){

// Disable the default behaviour when a user clicks an empty anchor link.
 // (The page jumps to the top instead of // animating)
 event.preventDefault();

// Animate the scrolling motion.
 $("html, body").animate({
scrollTop:this.attr('target').offset().top
 },"slow");
});

});

This does not work, I get an error saying:
Uncaught TypeError: Object http://url/#one has no method 'attr'

So obviously I need to rewrite this line:
scrollTop:this.attr('target').offset().top

But how do I select the target of the link to find the offset so I can set the scroll height?
SOLUTION:
Final answer was that there were a few things wrong, probably most notable was the missing $ as pointed out below.  Here is the code I settled on using:
$("#nav a").click(function(){

// Disable the default behaviour when a user clicks an empty anchor link.
 // (The page jumps to the top instead of // animating)
 event.preventDefault();

// Animate the scrolling motion.
 $("html, body").animate({
scrollTop:($("[name='"+ (this.hash).replace('#', '') +"']").offset().top)
 },"slow");
});

A: The reason you're getting that error is because you haven't wrapped your element in jQuery (you have other bugs in your code too).
However, that's not even needed. You want to use the contents of the href attribute as an ID selector:
$("html, body").animate({
    scrollTop: $(this.href).offset().top
}, "slow");

Compares and contrasts texts from the three religions as they deal with their origins, their role in society, the law, worship and the spiritual life, and the end of the world
A Comprehensive Commentary On The Quran
Author : E.M. Wherry
Publisher : Routledge
This comprehensive set includes thorough examinations of the Qurán in Wherry's essential four volume commentary. There is also an excellent overview of Islam by the well known scholar Edward Sell, The Faith of Islam which examines the history of Islam, the different forms of Islam and religious practice. This set will prove to be an excellent historical resource for anyone interested in western scholarship of Islamic doctrine, and the writings in the Qurán
The Monotheists Jews Christians And Muslims In Conflict And Competition Volume Ii
The world's three great monotheistic religions have spent most of their historical careers in conflict or competition with each other. And yet in fact they sprung from the same spiritual roots and have been nurtured in the same historical soil. This book--an extraordinarily comprehensive and approachable comparative introduction to these religions--seeks not so much to demonstrate the truth of this thesis as to illustrate it. Frank Peters, one of the world's foremost experts on the monotheistic faiths, takes Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and after briefly tracing the roots of each, places them side by side to show both their similarities and their differences. Volume I, The Peoples of God, tells the story of the foundation and formation of the three monotheistic communities, of their visible, historical presence. Volume II, The Words and Will of God, is devoted to their inner life, the spirit that animates and regulates them. Peters takes us to where these religions live: their scriptures, laws, institutions, and intentions; how each seeks to worship God and achieve salvation; and how they deal with their own (orthodox and heterodox) and with others (the goyim, the pagans, the infidels). Throughout, he measures--but never judges--one religion against the other. The prose is supple, the method rigorous. This is a remarkably cohesive, informative, and accessible narrative reflecting a lifetime of study by a single recognized authority in all three fields. The Monotheists is a magisterial comparison, for students and general readers as well as scholars, of the parties to one of the most troubling issues of today--the fierce, sometimes productive and often destructive, competition among the world's monotheists, the siblings called Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
The Quranic Ten Commandments
Author : Dr Hussein M Naguib
The Ten Commandments are the basic rules of morality in the three Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The purpose of these commandments is to guide the believers, their families, and their communities toward God's straight path that guarantees one's happiness and success in this life and the Hereafter. While numerous books were published on the Biblical Ten Commandments, unfortunately, very little is known about the Quranic Ten Commandments, and most people do not even know about their existence. The following is a list of these Quranic commandments as depicted and abbreviated from Surah Al An'Am (6:151-153), and a brief statement on the main topics discussed: 1.Do not associate anything with God: Monotheism, or the Oneness of God, as the foundation of the Islamic creed, God's unique and absolute attributes, and the relationship between man and his creator. 2.Be good to your parents: The many aspects of goodness to our parents, dealing with misguided parents, and the problem of parents abused by their own children. 3.Do not kill your children because of poverty: Islamic view on abortion and infanticide in ancient and modern times 4.Do not even come near shameful deeds: The causes and consequences of committing shameful deeds i.e. adultery, fornication, incest, and homosexuality. 5.Do not kill any human soul, except for a just cause: Human life is sacred and must be protected; Islamic view on the termination of human life for committing adultery, apostasy, highway robbery, murder, killing in a just war, suicide, euthanasia, and honor killing. 6.Do not touch the orphan's property, except to improve it: Islam stance on the treatment and legal ruling to protect and support orphans, the weakest elements of the society 7.Give full measure and full weight with equity: Islamic moral values in commercial dealings 8.Speak justly even it concerns a close relative: Islam moral values in achieving justice 9.Fulfill any covenants you made in God's name: Islam moral values in fulfilling commitments and pledges 10.Follow God's straight path, and do not follow other paths: Continuously assess your place on God's straight path, implement improvement plans, and monitor progress Filling a gap in current literature, Dr. Naguib presents the first detailed study in English on each Quranic commandment and its related moral issues in ancient and modern times. The study is prepared in two volumes. The first volume covered an introduction and the first five Quranic Commandments as listed above. The full meaning of each commandment is shown by finding the entire Quran's teachings on that subject, as well as the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions. With extensive research and careful selection of Quranic verses and reliable sources of Prophet Muhammad's traditions, this book will be beneficial to students and teachers of schools and academic institutions, religions comparative studies, Quranic study groups, interfaith group dialogues, as well as any Muslim or non-Muslim who is asking: "Is there anything in the Quran similar to the Ten Commandments in the Bible?.

The Ten Commandments And The Quran
Author : Abdullah Al Masud
Publisher : LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
The Ten Commandments are good, basic and moral laws that will help keep us out of problem with ourselves, family, friends, and neighbors. God knows what is the best for all of us and He simply wants all of us to stay out of problem in order that we may be able to live in peace and harmony with one another. Islam is one of the three Abrahamic faiths beside Judaism and Christianity. Many of the teachings such as worshiping only one God (Monotheism) is similar to other religion such as Judaism and Christianity. It is the religion of Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammad (Sm) and all the other messengers mentioned or not mentioned in the Quran, the Muslim's scripture. Islam does accept the status of both Moses and Jesus as prophets, which means that the Commandments are not completely ignored. If we take a look at Ten Commandments of God estimated in Exodus 20. There are many commandments that reapplied in the Quran. There are certain ayats (verses) in the Quran which include ten important commandments given by Allah to mankind, where several command very similar to the Ten Commandments.
Author : Michael Coogan
Publisher : Yale University Press
Are the Commandments really written in stone? A biblical scholar offers an "engrossing and enlightening guide to one of the world's great legal codes" (Booklist). In this lively, provocative book, Michael Coogan takes us into the ancient past to examine the Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue. How, among all the laws reportedly given on Mount Sinai, did the Ten Commandments become the Ten Commandments? When did that happen? There are several versions of the Decalogue in the Old Testament, so how have different groups determined which is the most authoritative? Why were different versions created? Coogan discusses the meanings the Ten Commandments had for audiences in biblical times and observes that the form of the ten proscriptions and prohibitions was not fixed—as one would expect since they were purported to have come directly from God—nor were the Commandments always strictly observed. In later times as well, Jews and especially Christians ignored and even rejected some of the prohibitions, although the New Testament clearly acknowledges the special status of the Ten Commandments. Today it is plain that some of the values enshrined in the Decalogue are no longer defensible, such as the ownership of slaves and the labeling of women as men's property. Yet in line with biblical precedents, the author concludes that while a literal observance of the Ten Commandments is misguided, some of their underlying ideals remain valid in a modern context.

Insider Movements
Author : Jeff Morton
Publisher : Wipf and Stock Publishers
In 1938 the Reverend Henry H. Riggs wrote "Shall We Try Unbeaten Paths in Working for Moslems?" He encouraged the church to help Muslim converts remain inside Islam so that they might not lose their cultural identity. These ideas were soundly denounced by leading missionary scholars of the time: Samuel Zwemer, J. Christy Wilson, and Hendrik Kraemer. In the 1980s Riggs's suggestions bubbled up to the surface with new life in Bangladesh, but the proponents of these views--known as the insider movements (IM)--maintained a low profile. The church did not know what was taking place in Bangladesh until the 1990s when anonymous authors published papers with made-up locations reporting hundreds of thousands of new believers. Today, proponents of IM support their observations of what God is doing among Muslims with eight biblical passages. If the biblical support is real, it behooves you to support missionaries who advocate for IM; but if the biblical evidence is absent, you will have a difficult decision to make. The purpose of this book is help clarify the insider movements' claims and paradigm by simply examining the Scriptures.

In recent years it has been shown that an integrated linkage of gynecology, obstetrics, and psychotherapy resulted in an astoundingly low rate of premature births among the pregnant women cared for. Many physical problems in pregnancy should be regarded within the entirety of physical and emotional processes.
Most literature suggests the importance of social support during the pregnancy. This research utilized the Spearman's rho coefficient, which was calculated between the Maternity Social Support Scale (MSSS) score and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) score, as well as Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) score. The results confirm that during the pregnancy a high social support level is associated with a low depression level and a high social support level is associated with a high prenatal attachment level.
Controlled trials reveal that, from before conception, nutrient deficits and toxins affect sperm, ovum, and maternal stores, lastingly impairing a child's health and abilities. Deficits, toxins, and stress can inhibit structure and function, and be linked to autism or reduced self-control, possibly with violent tendencies. From the beginning, epigenetic settings are mostly set early for directing development according to current environment. Many are operative in the brain.
The notion that pregnancy can, for some women, be a time of unhappiness and depression has only recently been recognized in media and by the general public. Although researchers and clinicians have begun to study antenatal depression with regards to prevalence, associated factors, and treatment approaches and outcomes, less is known about women?s lived experience of this phenomenon. A hermeneutic phenomenological study was conducted with six pregnant women who scored 10, 11, or 12 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, indicating mild to moderate symptoms of depression.
Based on the analysis of cognitive style, this study demonstrated that women experiencing postnatal depression (PND) fall into two categories: (a) those with a general cognitive vulnerability to depression and for whom childbirth is a non-specific stressor; and, (b) those whose depression is directly related to the stressful demands of motherhood.
In this paper, I will trace Ancient European Symbols of Pregnancy and Fertility from pre-history to early Christian times. Whether ancient female images represented goddesses or not, is not under discussion here. I will explore the possibility that symbols of pregnancy and fertility take on a purpose beyond self-expression, art, or worship and suggest the plausibility of pedagogical purposes in a pre-literate world. By including symbols, I also hope to show how some the roots of our modern alphabet go back to pre-history, and speak of the sacred sciences of birth.
Pregnancy, a major life transition, significantly impacts aspects of a woman?s physical, psychological and social self. Theoretical perspectives of pregnancy are compared in terms of their utility. Using the theoretical frameworks of anthropologists van Gennep and Turner pregnancy is viewed as liminal, a space between social structures. Passage through pregnancy to parenthood is explored in its social context as a rite of passage. Viewing pregnancy and birth as a liminal phase provides a valuable framework for understanding normative and non-normative pregnancy experiences.
This study of 302 Israeli women was a secondary analysis conducted to: (1) examine the associations between negative pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum experiences; (2) determine whether exposure to childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence and fertility problems are related to reproductive experiences and (3) identify among these variables potential predictors of negative childbirth experiences and postpartum depression (PPD). Pregnancy-related fears increased and prior fertility problems decreased the likelihood of negative childbirth experiences.
Research studies on post-partum PTSD have highlighted that the experience of childbirth can be traumatic in itself because it often involves fear, pain, impotence and non-expressed negative emotions. This study hypothesized that mental processing post-partum emotions, through Pennekaber?s expressive writing (EW) method, can reduce short- and long-term posttraumatic symptoms. The sample was of 242 women (mean age=31.5; SD=4) of whom 120 performed the EW-task and 122 were not asked to write.
We examined the impact of drug abuse on prenatal resources (social support and coping strategies) and mental health problems (depressiveness, pregnancy distress and hostility), and analyzed whether they would differently predict postpartum mental health between drug abusing and non-abusing women. Drug abusing (n=44) and comparison (n=50) women participated in the second or third trimester (T1), and reported depressive and anxiety symptoms at four (T2) and 12 (T3) months postpartum.
John Bowlby?s theory of human attachment has become widely applied across disciplines and across the stages of human development. This discussion explores the evolution of an application of Bowlby?s theory to the experience of pregnancy, from both maternal and paternal perspectives.
This study surveyed females who accessed prenatal care at an urban health center to determine perceptions of barriers to early initiation of services. We hypothesized distrust of healthcare professionals would result in delayed utilization. Results indicated that both minority and non-minority patients distrust health care professionals who have strong anti-minority bias and discriminate on the basis of race.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disorder characterized by a global mental deterioration. Although the etiology is not yet clear, more evidence shows that a prenatal link is possible. Memory disturbances are central in AD and eventually lead to a loss of autonomy and identity. Anxiety becomes the basic feeling of AD patients, as well as experiences of mourning, loss of control, and loss of contact. In the manifest stage retrogenesis is triggered, that is, patients reverse develop and start to re-live their past.
ABSTRACT:?Until we re-direct our focus earlier, we shall never solve these human problems.? Dr. Arthur Janov explains this position in his article and describes how the psychophysiological effects of events that occur during the first nine months influence the lifespan. Clearly focusing on the womb is a shift in his Primal theory. This change proposes the importance of healing prenatal imprints to more clearly see their widespread cumulative and enduring effects. ?It means that how the birth trauma is played out, and reacted to, depends on earlier life circumstances?womb-life.?
This article offers a historical account of the changes in birth that the author reflects on after decades as a practicing obstetrician. In preliterate and pre-agricultural societies, women used to isolate themselves to give birth. It seems that at that phase of the history of humanity the only person who could be around was the mother of the parturient, an ant, or another experienced mother. Then, for thousands of years, childbirth has been more and more socialized and culturally controlled. During this long period the birth environment remained mostly feminine.
Autism and Anorexia Nervosa: Two Facets of the Same Disease?
The discussion as to the primacy of genetic vs. environmental factors has shifted with the concept of ?gene expression? being shown as increasing our understanding of the origin of pathological conditions and personality traits. This means the acceptance of gene expression occurring during the primal period as well. The questions are now focused on the timing and the critical periods for genes-environment interaction. Autism and anorexia nervosa, two conditions that are to a great extent determined during the perinatal period.
Economic analysis of human capital?the abilities and skills a person brings to community and work force?suggests that investing in early childhood programs is much more cost-effective than dollars spent intervening later in life. Even with increasing knowledge of the importance of early intervention programs, there still appears to be a mental divide separating the prenatal and birth period and infancy. Programs that begin during infancy or later may not address the fundamental origins of the increasing issues we face regarding our children.
The relationship between traumatic events from conception to birth and the Schizoid Personality Disorder, Dysfunction and Deprivation is explored. From extensive experiential work with clients, based on the work of the British psychiatrist, Dr. Frank Lake, and her own personal experiences, the author discusses the very painful schizoid personality dysfunctions and deprivations relating to traumas of great severity in the first trimester of life. Loss of bonding and fear of intimacy are explored, along with dissociation and boundaries, seen as learned behaviour in the womb.
The rapidly developing science of pre-birth psychology is casting a new light on some old problems. One such is morbid obesity, some aspects of which can possibly be explained in the light of prenatal theory. This article sets out the hypothesis that firstly, obesity may represent a self-destructive personal choice. Secondly, there may be a psychological reason why the possibly fatal consequences of that choice are largely ignored by the obese person. Thirdly, the choice and its consequences comprise a style of eating behaviour that seems to re-construct a particular pre-birth experience.
This article presents a very basic challenge with regard to the way in which human beings enter into this world. This is not just a challenge to the medical model, but to ?natural childbirth? methods as well. It addresses the fundamentals of language that have guided our core concepts of sexuality and birth. It is not limited to the English language, but points out the roots of words from many languages that have contributed to world-wide attitudes and concepts.

Q: Create Relationship Between three tables in Cypher Is it possible to create relationships between table1 with table3 by using table2?
for example in:

*

*Table1 we have id and momName

*Table2 we have id and table1ID and Table3ID

*Table3 we have id and dadName

we need to create relationship between mom and dad directly by just one type of relationship [:family] without showing the table2 nodes or relations.

A: This should work:
MATCH (t1:Table1), (t2:Table2), (t3:Table3)
WHERE t1.id = t2.table1ID AND t3.id = t2.table3ID
MERGE (t1)-[:family]-(t3)

For faster performance, you can first create indexes on :Table1(id) and :Table3(id).


As we just mentioned, Netlify allows you to quickly publish a website by uploading the public/ folder through its web interface, and you will be assigned a random subdomain *.netlify.com.31 This approach is good for those websites that are not updated frequently (or at all). However, it is unlikely that you will not need to update your website, so we introduce a better approach in this section,32 which will take you a few more minutes to complete the configurations. Once it is properly configured, all you need to do in the future is to update the source repository, and Netlify will call Hugo to render your website automatically.
Basically, you have to host all source files of your website in a GIT repository.33 You do not need to put the public/ directory under version control34 because it will be automatically generated. Currently, Netlify supports GIT repositories hosted on GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket. With any of these accounts, you can log into Netlify from its homepage and follow the guide to create a new site from your GIT repository.
FIGURE 3.1: Example settings of a website deployed on Netlify.
It may take a minute or two to deploy your website on Netlify for the first time, but it can be much faster later (a few seconds) when you update your website source, because Netlify deploys incremental changes in the public/ directory, i.e., only the newer files compared to the last time are deployed.
After your GIT repository is connected with Netlify, the last issue you may want to solve is the domain name, unless you are satisfied with the free Netlify subdomain. If you want to use a different domain, you need to configure some DNS records of the domain to point it to the Netlify server. See Appendix C for some background knowledge on domain names.
If you are not familiar with domain names or do not want to learn more about them, something to consider is a free subdomain *.rbind.io offered by RStudio, Inc. Please visit the Rbind support website https://support.rbind.io to learn how to apply for a subdomain. In fact, the Rbind organization also offers free help on how to set up a website based on blogdown, thanks to a lot of volunteers from the R and statistics community.
Netlify is the only solution in this chapter that does not require you to prebuild your website. You only need to update the source files, push them to GitHub, and Netlify will build the website for you.36 The rest of the solutions in this chapter will require you to build your website locally and upload the public/ folder explicitly or implicitly. That said, you can certainly prebuild your website using any tools, push it to GitHub, and Netlify is still able to deploy it for you. What you need to do is leave the build command empty, and tell Netlify your publish directory (e.g., Hugo's default public/, but if your prebuilt website is under the root directory, specify . as the publish directory instead). Then Netlify simply uploads all files under this directory to its servers without rebuilding your website.

E-Bisprint: Supporting and Simplifying Operational Activities
in Innovative-Companies-magz-oct16-lstn
In 1990, Paul Freeman, Founder and Executive Chairman, E-Bisprint started his own business, initially as a simple home-based print brokerage firm called 'Off and Running Print Management.' Freeman took the calculated risk to focus on the IT side of the business while other print management companies were moving into warehousing. The year was 1997; the same when the Internet was launched.
The decision was instrumental in creating a major point of difference from his competitors. In 2000, Freeman changed the name of the business to E-Bisprint to reflect its diversification into e-commerce and position the company as an early adopter of this technology and since then E-Bisprint has been successfully making its way to the top.
A Forerunner in the IT Industry
E-Bisprint is a managed services provider catering to the core needs of warehousing and logistics, marketing, and print management, corporate apparel and workwear across corporate Australia and government. All the services are managed by an overarching IT division. E-Bisprint supports and simplifies an organization's purchasing and operational activities by offering a complete solution, making it the conduit between a business and their suppliers. All services are provided through a centrally branded client ePortal.
Since its inception, E-Bisprint has successfully managed not to miss out of the race and at presently has offices in four Australian capital cities, with headquarters on the NSW Central Coast. A distribution hub in Asia is being operated by the company, which has access to 69 warehouses across Australia, along with a growing IT development team in the Philippines.
The existing clients are having benefits that include greater end-to-end supply chain efficiencies, reduced procurement personnel, eliminating the need to tender, competitive tension across all transactions, complete transparency, compliance and control, reduced risk, improved contract management and communication, all of which provides significant cost savings across the board.
An Intuitive Visionary Leading the Way
Paul Freeman started his career in IT at a time when automatic data processing and computers were in their infancy. By the age of 38, he was the Managing Director of a group comprising four companies and a staff of more than 100.
He always dreamed of starting his own venture and it came true in the form of E-Bisprint with a vision to become a leading global supplier of managed services and bespoke software development for medium to large corporate companies and government departments.
Freeman and his company boast a swag of national and international awards, the most recent being a PEAK Award in October 2016 for their tailored event management software solution, QOKKI. Freeman is also featured in the recently published Australian book, 50 Unsung Business Heroes, and E-Bisprint was also recognized as one of Australia's 20 most innovative companies in 2014.
ZOOL: A Cloud-Based Game Changer
E-Bisprint has developed ZOOL, an online procurement system that provides an end-to-end procurement solution that covers all categories of spend. ZOOL is a cloud-based communication and procurement tool that delivers more efficient workflow, transparency, control, compliance, competitive tension on all financial transactions and significant cost savings. The cloud-based global procurement product totally redefines the way tenders and panels are managed and is capable of managing the procurement for an entire Government and delivering hard cost savings of more than 7% as well as substantial soft cost savings. ZOOL is currently being used with great success by an Australian Federal Government department, with a contract worth $50 million.
"Being a tailored solution that is continuing to evolve, there is widespread belief that the world is yet to see the full potential of this powerful software," asserts Freeman.
Growing and Developing with High Pace
E-Bisprint has been unique in the business with specific ethics. They have always focused on the clients' needs and understood it, while empowering them by delivering cost and time saving benefits through technology. Unlike most of their competitors, which subcontract some services out, they offer complete end-to-end service. They have always delivered bespoke software solutions begun with the question, "What do you require at the end of the process?" and then reverse-engineering the best solution. Also, they have always followed an understanding that people are their number one asset and have stood by that belief.
Like every successful startup venture, E-Bisprint faced some troubled times too, but strong support of local businesses and their staff always came through. They stood by Freeman when the company needed them. Apart from their supportive staff, strong communication and accountability has always helped them while constantly evolving to meet their clients' needs and stay a step ahead in an ever-changing business world. They have always been honest and transparent while fostering a positive workplace. And being confident has always played a focal role in the success. Freeman and the team have never been afraid to go ahead and experiment something new, and that's what kept them ahead in the race.
While, the business market is evolving and making competition strong, E-Bisprint will be continuing to cater their clients' needs and making a difference.

ENGLAND v HOLLAND
Toss: England
Toss: England. International debut: F. Jansen.
Hick, restored after resting an injured hamstring, insured England against an upset with a century. He completed it in the final over with his second six, and also struck six fours in 133 balls. Thorpe had been the dominant partner as they added 143 in 25 overs; he scored 89 in 82 balls before being trapped by Lefebvre, who was barely fit but bowled heroically. The rest of England's line-up still looked experimental. Stewart and Neil Smith opened again - and Smith did his job, with 31 in 33 balls - while Atherton remained down the order. But a total of 279 was disappointing and, later, sharp Dutch running re-emphasised the raggedness of the English fielding. England had planned to use three spinners on a dead pitch, until Illingworth was taken ill, and the seam bowlers had mixed fortunes: Cork, troubled by his knee injury, was expensive, though DeFreitas, bowling ten overs off the reel, claimed a creditable three for 31. Van Noortwijk and the 18-year-old Zuiderent scored Holland's first fifties at this level, adding 114 in 27 overs. But England's nerves were settled once van Noortwijk, trying for a third six, was caught in the deep.

Zodiac Director's Cut DVD Announced
According to DVD Times, Paramount have announced that a director's cut of Zodiac will be available on Region 1 DVD in January:
Paramount Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Zodiac (Director's Cut) on 8th January 2008.
Based on the actual case files of one of the most intriguing unsolved crimes in the nation's history, "Zodiac" is a thriller from David Fincher, director of "Se7en" and "Panic Room."
As a serial killer terrifies the San Francisco Bay Area and taunts police with his ciphers and letters, investigators in four jurisdictions search for the murderer. The case will become an obsession for four men as their lives and careers are built and destroyed by the endless trail of clues.
If you haven't seen it yet Fincher's brilliant procedural police drama about the Zodiac killings is one of the best films to come out this year.
Unfortunately the recent R1 and the upcoming R2 DVDs were bereft of decent extras. According to David Prior (the producer of the upcoming director's cut) in a post on the Home Theater Forum, this vanilla edition was only reluctantly agreed to by Fincher:
Before you all get too bent out of shape about the staggered release dates of the vanilla and the director's cut, you should be aware that it was only reluctantly agreed to by Fincher because I needed more time on the bonus material.
The studio was locked into their release date (and bound and determined to release a single-disc, which nobody except them wanted), so Fincher allowed that to be released first.
It had nothing to do with Fincher "double dipping his own movie before it even makes it to stores" and everything to do with buying more time for the special edition.
Hope that clears things up. In the interests of full disclosure, you should also know that the theatrical cut will only be available on the single disc.
Apparently the extras on the director's cut will include:
Commentary by Director David Fincher
Commentary by Jake Gyllenhall, Robert Downey Jr., Producer Brad Fischer, James Vanderbilt and James Ellroy

Show your Croatian pride with this amazing football concept shirt designed by Arturo Castosa.
It has been a tremendous period for Croat football, with the national team reaching the 2018 World Cup Finals and Luka Modric establishing himself as one of the best players in the world.
This garment is an unofficial Croatia soccer jersey - part of the Fans Culture range - which allows you to show your national pride with a high quality garment at great value prices.
The shirt features the traditional red and white but features a unique cross design, with the front number of any shirt printing sitting in the middle of the cross. The red shirt is contrasted with white diamonds, in homage to Croatian jerseys of yesteryear.

Q: OWL Restrictions: Defining classes that depend on a concept hierarchy I have a hierarchy of skos:Concepts and want to define an owl:Class consisting of those individuals that are connected to a specific concept or one of its narrower terms through some property.
I managed to create an owl:Restriction that works for one specific concept, but not for a hierarchy of concepts:
# Concept hierarchy
concepts:Dance a skos:Concept .
concepts:FolkDance a skos:Concept ;
    skos:broaderTransitive concepts:Dance .
concepts:SquareDance a skos:Concept ;
    skos:broaderTransitive concepts:FolkDance .

# owl axioms
ex:Dance rdfs:subClassOf ex:Movement ;
    owl:equivalentClass [
        a owl:Restriction ;
        owl:onProperty ex:hasKindOfMovement ;
        owl:hasValue concepts:Dance
    ] .

# Assertions
ex:SomeInstance ex:hasKindOfMovement concepts:Dance .

The above correctly makes ex:someInstance an instance of ex:Dance. But how can I make ex:anotherInstance a member of ex:Dance if I have the assertion
ex:anotherInstance ex:hasKindOfMovement concepts:SquareDance

? I. e. where the individual in owl:hasValue is a transitively narrower concept than the one specified in the restriction.
This question seems similar to OWL restrictions - defining classes that only contains properties with a specific property value but I couldn't work it out from there... Any help is much appreciated.

As many of you know, for the past few years I have given back to the generous community supporting my music education by hosting a chamber music concert with friends who generously donate their time. Last year, my sister Victoria joined me in the planning for the event. It is hard to believe that this year is the 4th annual chamber music concert.
This year the concert will be held on Sunday, November 27th. Doors open at 6pm and the Concert will be from 6:30 – 7:30pm. The concert will be held at the Tabernacle Church at 26 SW Condor Way, Portland, OR 97239 (see map here).
Let's continue in the spirit of thankfulness by supporting the 4th Annual Chamber Music Concert! Come and enjoy music presented by violinists Byron & Victoria, and friends from the Oregon Symphony, the PYP Quartet, and "I Ragazzi" Baroque with countertenor Michael Meo.
The Concert is free but we will collect donations to benefit Human Solutions, JOIN: connecting the street to a home, Street Roots, and PACS. These four agencies offer programs and services that help people experiencing poverty and homelessness. Last year we raised $2,400 and hope to exceed the goal again this year!
Following the concert will be a reception made possible by generous donations by Whole Foods Market and Peet's Coffee & Tea. The nonprofit agencies we are supporting will alsobe there so you can learn more about their great work. We also want to thank Laurelhurst Florist for their helping make the event special by donating floral arrangements!
Let's make this Winter warmer and brighter for those in need! — Please come and bring your friends and family!

No Blues in Curaçao
Curaçao, the curious Caribbean island with a variety of influences, is a treasure for adventuresome travelers
The word "dushi" is emblazoned on keychains and shirts in Curaçao; there's even an oversized sign with the word that's a photo attraction on the island. Not to be confused with a similar sounding bit of American slang, it's actually a term of endearment, along the lines of "sweetie" or "sweetheart," in the local Creole dialect of Papiamentu.
But like everything else about this Caribbean island, less than 40 miles from the coast of Venezuela, "dushi" is really more of a mixed bag. It also can be used to describe palate-pleasing cuisine or elements of the good life. Similarly, Papiamentu—one of a handful of languages spoken in Curaçao—is its own melting pot, a strange brew of Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, French, English and Arawak Indian.
It speaks to the worst part of Curaçao's past as one of the largest depots during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. And one of its most heroic. Papiamentu was created as a way for slaves to talk without their masters knowing what they were saying. This was instrumental in organizing a slave rebellion in 1795, led by a man named Tula, who's memorialized in artwork and paintings all over the island—including monuments of fists with broken shackles.
Even in its present-day incarnation, Curaçao continues to march to a different, multifaceted beat compared to its more easily defined Caribbean neighbors. It's just outside of the hurricane zone, making it a haven for sailors. It has hills large enough that the Dutch called them mountains, and a climate arid enough that cacti flourish. Its European influence can be seen in names, architecture and food because of Curaçao's status as a Dutch territory (Dutch is the official language, though Spanish, French and Portuguese also are spoken, and English is taught in schools).
The island, nestled in what seems like an oxymoron ("Dutch Caribbean"), is known for its beaches with clear, sky-blue water, destination resorts, and a pastel-colored city center that looks like something straight out of a storybook. Yet, in addition to tourism, its open economy is supported by international trade and shipping, as well as the oil business.
There's also an annual jazz festival that draws A-list talent. And there's an ostrich farm.
It all makes for a fascinating adventure on an island where there really is something for everyone. Here are just a few of the highlights from a recent visit.
Poolside dining at LionsDive Resort
LionsDive Beach Resort
Don't let the bronze lions by the entrance and on the way to Hemingway Beach Bar & Restaurant, off the boardwalk and behind the rooms, intimidate you. LionsDive exudes Caribbean calm; indeed, a homey feeling washes over you the minute you enter the grounds of this Dutch-Caribbean-style complex.
The resort features accommodations from standard rooms and two-bedroom apartments to luxury suites that overlook the Caribbean Sea. Also overlooking the ocean: a 50-meter sports swimming pool, unique to the island.
Speaking of the beach, there's the clearest turquoise water you'll ever see, littered with small, mossy rocks under the surface. The surf is calm; the water is shallow, and it's unexpectedly cool considering the temperature outside. An on-property dive center (Ocean Encounters) offers introductory training, diving with dolphins and other sea life, deep diving, snorkel trips and much more.
The rooms are small but comfortable and have Keurig-like machines waiting with strong coffee and a full-sized refrigerator. Word of caution: LionsDive is an eco-hotel, so the air conditioning runs only in your room. Throughout the rest of the resort, fans are spinning away at maximum speed to keep everyone cool. You won't miss the A/C; the hotel is right on a beach and there's almost always a breeze passing through the lobby.
The breakfast buffet is a welcome surprise. Along with a sea of cold cuts, scrambled and soft-boiled eggs, bacon, fruit and yogurt, you'll also find banana pancakes. Around cocktail hour, make your way over to Hemingway, where you'll find the best mojito on the island.
The popular Pietermaai District and its colorful buildings
Zanzibar is the destination for dinner in Curaçao. It's like something off of a postcard: It's nestled on a beach with twinkle lights that turn on at dusk, and there's a platform in the distance that kids like to dive off of. Other than the twinkle lights and the lights from the bar, there's not a lot of light pollution, either. You actually may eat under the stars and, if you have the right app, might even be able to see Mars winking at you.
The food is a curious mixture of pizza, curries, seafood, chicken sate, and soups and salads, though it is known for its pizzas. For the appetizer, get the bread and dips: it's served with Turkish bread and three dips, one of which is an outstanding pesto you'll keep wanting to go back to. If you're feeling adventurous with your entrée, try the Lebanese pizza: it has lamb shawarma, mozzarella, bell pepper, mushroom, onion and Parmesan cheese.
Among the pastel-colored buildings of Pietermaai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll find the coffee shop Beans. It's painted red but somehow is still unassuming as it's tucked in with a lot of other restored houses on the street. It's small but air-conditioned inside, unlike a lot of restaurants. Expect an unusual choice for milk with your coffee: oatmeal milk. The coffee is strong and served with a small tube of sugar and an even smaller cookie.
This is something distinct about Curaçao's culture: Most coffee is served with a cookie and customers have been known to ask for (ahem, demand) it if they don't get one right away. The food is distinctive as well. The goat cheese poke bowl comes with a melding of perfectly matched flavors: a salad base, fig, roasted pumpkin seeds, walnut, thyme, carrot, red kale, edamame, sprouts and balsamic honey sauce. The goat cheese also is warmed before it's combined with the other ingredients, lifting the bowl to another level.
Gouvernor De Rouville, located in Otrabanda, sits right up against St. Anna Bay, giving you both a view and a breeze. Sandwiches are served on one piece of bread and piled high with toppings. The goat cheese sandwich is bliss on bread: an arugula blend topped with fresh papaya chutney and tamarind syrup. The potato chips on the side are light as a feather and the figurative cherry on top of the entrée. Ask for a sample of the Cuban spicy banana soup, and save room for some Blue Curaçao cheesecake.
The Cuban spicy banana soup is unexpectedly creamy and thick and manages not to be too sweet. The spice factor is also good; you know it's there, but it's not overwhelming. The cheesecake will surely dethrone whatever you're picturing as the best cheesecake in your head: There's a mint leaf, a layer of Blue Curaçao gel on the top, a lighter blue cheesecake layer in the middle, and then Biscoff-style cookies crumbled up for the crust. It all adds up to unbelievable layers of flavor.
Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival
For music lovers planning their next vacation, keep Curaçao in mind. The Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival at the World Trade Center at Piscadera Bay—coming off a year that featured Jason DeRulo, Patti LaBelle, Sting with Shaggy, and Christina Aguilera—has another three-day extravaganza planned for Aug. 29-31, with Maroon 5 already booked for the closing night. Tickets are $195 a day; make sure you have cash to get tokens for food and drinks.
Senior & Co. Blue Curaçao
There's a lot of Blue Curaçao-style liqueur out there, but only one that uses orange peels from the native Laraha citrus (bitter orange) and comes up with the clear, not blue, final product (they only started adding colors in the 1960s). And that is Senior and Co., whose product is recognized as the genuine Blue Curaçao. Here's how to tell if it's the genuine article: Look for a Laraha tree on the bottle, part of the Senior & Co. logo, a cork cap, a short neck and circular shape. As good as the flagship orange tastes, do yourself a favor and try the tamarind and the coffee offerings.
Curaçao Ostrich Farm
Walking into the farm, there are two peacocks wandering around the front entrance. If you follow them, you'll discover a whole muster. They're surprisingly heavy birds, and they make a thunk! sound every time they jump to the ground.
The ostrich farm is one of the largest such breeding farms outside Africa, and as you go along on the tour, you learn it also has emus and an assortment of other animals. The biggest attractions of the farm are that you can ride the ostriches and feed them.
Feeding them can be nerve-racking. You stand with your back to the pen and hold the bowl up and to your side. A group of three ostriches comes over and pecks down so forcefully it's almost scary, but it's worth it for the experience.
Of course, being that this is a farm, it's not all fun and games for these birds. Indeed, ostrich is served at the restaurant that's inside the farm. It doesn't taste like chicken, but it does taste like an almost-smoky, more deeply flavored roast beef, which, when paired with the guava juice served, is a great counterpoint.
Shete Boka National Park
Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just like exploring new places, you need to go to this park. It goes from flat to inclined quickly, so make sure you wear the proper footwear. This also is one of the few beaches you can't swim on because the currents are consistently too rough.
The thing that stands out most here is a cave located in a corner of the park. Going into the entrance feels forbidden: It's dark, cooler, you have to be extremely cautious walking down the stone steps, and you can hear the waves crashing high and fast against the rocks inside. In fact, people weren't allowed inside before wave breakers and a wooden platform were put in. It allows you to appreciate both the beauty and fury of nature safely, something that's not easy to find.
Like much of the trip, it's a slice of Curaçao that will stay with you—and one last sample from a mixed bag that stands out as one of the most intriguing in all of the Caribbean.


It is the ambition of every violinist to own an instrument that helps to convey fully their musical objectives, both in recital and larger scale works with orchestra. Leland Chen is no exception and during his career he has been privileged to play on many fine instruments including two Stradivari and one Guarneri.
For the past twelve years he has played on a Guarnerius copy made by Glen Collins of Newark, arguably the leading British violin maker working today. Leland has recently taken delivery of a new Collins violin, a copy of the Guarneri `Lord Wilton', and he believes that this new instrument has brought him nearer to his aim of owning a violin that suits his personal musical requirements.

Marching Plague
biotechnology,
biowarfare
A film by Critical Art Ensemble, 2006, 17"
Filmed on location on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, Critical Art Ensemble?s film Marching Plague presents a powerful critique of UK-US bioweapons research and addresses the paranoia surrounding bioterrorism. It centres on the recreation of secret sea trials conducted by the UK government in the 1950s.
In May 2004, FBI agents and the Joint Terrorism Task Force raided Critical Art Ensemble founder Steve Kurtz?s home, seizing art works and research materials for the Marching Plague project. The US government has yet to produce evidence that Kurtz is a bioterrorist, but they refuse to return the seized materials. Despite this, Kurtz has been able to reconstruct the research and produce Marching Plague, commissioned by The Arts Catalyst London, and accompanying publication, published by Autonomedia (2006).

What is the number 1 tip to get a job through LinkedIn? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.
In the last four months, I've had over twenty interviews, gotten five job offers, and accepted one with the largest company in my industry.
All of these opportunities have come from LinkedIn.
Make sure your profile is at the All Star level. This means uploading a great picture, writing a compelling headline, and crafting a benefits-driven summary. In other words, instead of telling potential employers what you do, tell them how you can benefit them.
Identify companies that you want to work for that have open positions. Use the LinkedIn jobs postings tab to identify potential companies you'd like to work for and jobs that are available. I also used other job boards like Indeed to find open positions.
Find the hiring manager using LinkedIn search. If you can't find the hiring manager, find a decision maker like a VP, director, or a regional manager. I looked for a VP of sales or a regional manager during my job search. If it was a smaller company, I'd go directly to the CEO or president.
Once they connect with you, message them directly. Tell them you are interested in a position with their company and why you think you can be an asset. Ask them who you might submit a resume to so it doesn't get lost in the stack.
Do this for every job you're interested in. You will get multiple job interviews and stand out from almost every candidate.
I'm a digital marketing professional and online instructor. I've taught over 22,206 amazing students and business professionals how to grow their business using LinkedIn.

A BRITISH woman faces being executed in Malaysia after being arrested on suspicion of murdering her husband.
Samantha Jones, 62, was detained today after her spouse John was found dead with stab wounds to his chest at their house on the holiday island of Langkawi.
Following the gruesome discovery of the 62-year-old British man at 2.30am this morning, detectives arrested Mrs Jones, alleging she murdered him following an argument.
The pair were staying in Langkawi, a jungle-clad, tropical island in northwest Malaysia that attracts millions of tourists annually to its beaches.
They had lived there for the past 11 years, the Malaysian Star Online reports.
Mrs Jones has been remanded in custody until a further court hearing in six days' time.
Local police chief Mohamad Iqbal said: "The couple were believed to have engaged in an argument.
A 12-inch knife was found on the floor of the couple's bedroom with blood stains on it, he said.
The couple had been granted residency on Malaysia's "My Second Home" program.
This allows foreigners to stay beyond normal visa periods.
Local media reported the victim's body was found after neighbours alerted police.
Under current laws, the wife will be sentenced to death by hanging if she is found guilty of murder.
A death sentence is mandatory for murder in Malaysia.
