Sock it to me: Picking the right number

DRAWING BY DEBORAH DERR McCLINTOCK
Q. Oh, no, it's 6 o'clock Monday morning, electricity's out, and you can't see the jumbled socks in your drawer. You know there are 8 blacks and 24 blues. How many do you have to take with you downstairs to guarantee you've got at least one matched pair of blacks for dressing by flashlight? –G. Coles
A. Taking 8 obviously won't do it, nor even will taking 24– all could be blue. You need to grab 26 to make 2 blacks a certainty. But that's a lot of socks to carry. Still, you don't want to have to come back upstairs. For a better than 50-50 chance of having 2 blacks, you'd need to carry down only 7 socks; for a 75 percent chance, 9 socks. For a 90 percent chance, 12 socks. How stairs-lazy are you?
Q. Why would anyone talk on and on, earnestly and ardently, with someone who doesn't speak the same language or understand a word of what's being said? –T. Babel
A. This describes "baby talk," that distinctive way of altering normal sounds, grammar and vocabulary to foster communicative rapport, says David Crystal in Language Play.
Here the parent's or carer's lips are rounded, vowels lengthened, voice volume, rhythm and pitch heightened. At the same time there are frequent nonsense vocalizations–tongue clicking, lip smacking, and others.
"There is nothing quite like it anywhere else in human expression, the closest being the way we might talk to animals." Mother (looking at Baby's face): "You are lovely, aren't you! Oh yes you are! A gorgeous bouncy bit of baba..."
Mock-threats, mock-disgust and mock-horror are just as common: "What a horrid stinky pong, you're going back where you came from!"
Some adults fear that baby talk may derail language learning, but young children rapidly learn to distinguish language varieties, including playful from serious, says Crystal. Soon enough, kids are imitating, playing as mommies or daddies with their dolls.
"Parents sitting around a group of children in a nursery often hear their own baby-talk echoed in the play of their child– sometimes with embarrassing accuracy. Out of the mouths of babes, indeed."
Q. It involves a qualitative mental shift, with functions operating that do not operate normally. Probably most familiar is the dream state, but it can include changes in thinking, disturbed time flow, loss of bodily identity, extreme fear or extreme bliss, hallucinations, illusions, profound insights, feelings of rebirth. What is this extraordinary transformation? –T. Leary
A. It is an altered state of consciousness (ASC), when a person's mind moves outside of the everyday realm of "consensus reality," says Leonard George in Alternative Realities. Later, the stabilizing forces of ordinary awareness return.
ASCs can be caused by trauma, sleep disturbance, sensory deprivation or overload, or fever; or self-induced by frenzied dancing, chanting, or other social behaviors, says Robert Todd Carroll in The Skeptic's Dictionary (SkepDic.com). Electrical brain stimulation or drug use can also do it. Some athletes describe a "flow state" or being "in the zone," or religious experience can bring a sense of oneness and significance of all things.
Modern Western culture holds that the ordinary state is superior to all others for most purposes, says George, though in many other societies ASCs are more routinely harnessed for the benefit of the community.
Q. In frigid weather, put out two identical pans of water, one hot and one lukewarm. Which will freeze first? –A. O. Aquarius
A. Amazingly, the hot water just might. This is common knowledge in cold regions like Canada or Iceland and was even commented on by philosopher Francis Bacon centuries ago, but people in warmer countries find it mysterious, says Cleveland State University's Jearl Walker in The Flying Circus of Physics.
The explanation is that the hot water evaporates faster, which saps heat energy and spirits away much of the liquid.
"With less mass to cool, the water in that container can overtake the cooling of the initially cooler water and reach the freezing point sooner," Walker says.

The get_audio_pos() method updates the sl property regularly and the Slider automatically updates since the kv sets its value to that Property.
The release() method was removed (along with its mention in kv) since it is not needed and will cause an infinite loop.
I have included the kv as a string in my code just for my own convenience. It can be used in a separate kv file just as well.

Canada's cities say they are not getting their share of promised pot sales
By Kelsey JohnsoniPolitics
Fri., Dec. 7, 2018timer2 min. read
Canada's municipalities say they have yet to see their share of the taxes being collected from legal marijuana sales.
In a letter to Finance Minister Bill Morneau on the eve of the first ministers' meeting in Montreal, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) says many cities in Canada haven't received any revenue from excise taxes collected by provincial governments from the sale of cannabis.
This, despite a federal promise that 25 per cent of the excise taxes collected by the provinces be earmarked for municipal use. The Trudeau government has set the provincial share at 75 per cent.
"While the federal government has answered the call for predictable resource allocation to cities and communities to help keep Canadians safe and well-served as cannabis is legalized, the reality is that too many of our provincial and territorial counterparts have allowed those resources to lag," the letter reads.
The letter is signed by Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson, who chairs FCM's Big City Mayors' Caucus, and FCM president Vicki-May Hamm, who is also mayor of Magog, Que.
The letter goes on to say that "too many cities and communities have yet to see that important share of revenue flow, or to even be provided with a clear plan from their provincial and territorial counterparts on how or when to expect it."
Both mayors said the matter must be discussed at Friday's meeting in Montreal.
Only three provinces — Alberta, Ontario and Quebec — have made their revenue-sharing plans public, FCM told Morneau, while the remaining provinces and territories have remained "essentially quiet" on the matter.
At least one province, Manitoba, has reneged on its promise to share the money altogether. The Manitoba government, FCM told Morneau, "recently indicated that they do not intend to flow any revenues to municipalities — a direct contradiction of the intent behind the increase of the provincial share of cannabis excise tax backed by the federal government."
The Trudeau government legalized consumption and sale of cannabis in Canada on Oct. 17. Canada's municipalities say the policy change has hit their bottom lines because, as a result, cities and towns across the country have had to hire more administrative staff, first responders, social-service workers, and planning and development staff.
Municipal staff, such as town councillors and police officers, are also the ones answering citizens' concerns about how their city is preventing kids from buying pot, or stopping people from driving high. People also call to ask how the locations of local pot retailers are decided, the federation said.
As a result, municipalities have been forced to divert funds from other services and projects.
"If the provinces and territories do not follow through and meet the federal expectation that those excise tax dollars flow to municipalities, the costs of implementing this nationwide legal cannabis regime will be downloaded directly to municipalities," the letter reads. "That result is unacceptable, and a threat to the responsible approach all orders of government are obliged to take."

While some product makers want their info out there immediately, others like Harmonic Omneon's Geoff Steadman feel that it's hard to be heard over the clutter of news being introduced at the show.
Steadman and Harmonic will be releasing details of their new product, which will be geared directly at the post world, shortly after we go to press on this issue. We'll get that up on www.postmagazine.com as soon as we hear!
The official pre-NAB press event season kicked off with Grass Valley in January, even though they are one of the few who are holding their news close to the vest until the start of NAB. Panasonic hosted an event in New York City in February, and you can see their news on page 9 of this issue.
Autodesk hosted their Backstage Pass event at company headquarters in Montreal in mid February, giving the press a sneak peek at the new 2012 digital entertainment creation tools, including Flame and Smoke, Maya, 3DS Max and Softimage. They also updated middleware software such as Kynapse, Beast and HumanIK. And speaking of middleware, just before the event kicked off, Autodesk announced its intention to buy Scaleform, a provider of UI tools and middleware for the games industry.
There are too many details for this space, but I'll give you some highlights. The Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites, Premium, now includes Softimage, whose ICE (Interactive Creative Environment) platform is growing in popularity. Maya, has some cool updates for version 2012, including Viewport 2.0 enhancements such as full-screen effects, motion blur, depth of field and ambient occlusion. There is also now node-based render passes that allow the ability to create and edit node-based representations of render passes and render the composited output directly using Mental Ray.
During the event, Marc Petit, Autodesk's senior VP, media & entertainment, emphasized that "solutions out of the box are important" and pointed to the Flame Premium package.


Challenged to create a comprehensive brand and environmental design strategy for the design center on JMU's campus, I first set out to gather research. After studying foot-traffic patterns, usage of the building, notable issues, and opportunities, I developed a set of analytical graphics and crafted a problem statement to guide the development of the project.
To address the issues and needs appropriately, the design had to embrace the nature of the building, be functional by design, and appeal to students studying multiple design disciplines. After numerous iterations and studies, I developed an identity that was true to the building's purpose and even innate architecture, using materials and colors reminiscent of the work being done within. The final deliverable was a complete set of signage, renovation, and branding plans from exterior to interior that together solved the problems posed by the assignment. Furthermore, the final proposal crafted what the facility lacked so desperately; a personality that lived up to students' standards.

Home eBulletin For Neilson, variety was the spice of his newspaper life
For Neilson, variety was the spice of his newspaper life
By Jasmine Wu, Bulletin Staff
Photo courtesy of the Wilmington/Tewksbury (Mass.) Town Crier
'Stu Neilson is in town crier garb and holding up a copy of the Town Crier newspaper as he waits at an airport in 1999 to greet Michael David Kean-Price, the actual town crier of Tewkesbury, England.'
To say that Stu Neilson retired in April solely as managing editor of the Wilmington/ Tewksbury (Mass.) Town Crier would be an understatement.
Neilson found himself filling almost every role at the weekly newspaper, with a circulation of about 6,000, for the past 50 years, after his father founded the Town Crier in 1955.
"I was the editor, photographer, janitor. I'd fix the roofs, sweep the floors and do everything," said Neilson, who retired from the Town Crier but will work from home in Wilmington for ACN Marketing, based in Concord, N.C.
He recalled a time when his loyalty to the Town Crier was uncertain. For financial reasons, his father had decided in 1974 that someone at the newspaper needed to be laid off.
"I said, 'Fine, I'm the one,' and threw my keys on the counter and stormed out the door and moved to New Mexico," said Neilson, who is now not able to recall the nature of the conflict with his father. "It was a terrible mistake."
After a brief stint working at a hardware store, Neilson, then 27 years old, returned to the Town Crier after remembering what he loved about journalism.
"(It's) the variety of the work," Neilson said. "There's something different every 10 minutes … and it just keeps on changing."
Neilson said bringing changes to the Town Crier was one of his biggest accomplishments.
Although the Town Crier had been using phototypesetting, a technique that requires painstaking hours of cutting and pasting copy onto a layout board, Neilson foresaw the popularity of laser writers and brought Apple Macintosh computers into the newsroom. The Macs could communicate with the printer, which would then enable printing on less expensive paper than phototypesetting required, he said.
"We were the first newspaper in the world to completely shut off all phototypesetting and go exclusively with Macintosh and laser writers," Neilson said.
The Town Crier was written about in national and international publications, including Time Magazine, for making that conversion, he said.
"I saw it coming down the pike and said, 'I'm doing that.' I had people coming in from all over the world to interview me," Neilson said.
The feat was impressive for a newspaper the size of the Town Crier, but working for a small newspaper allows for a lot more autonomy, Neilson said.
"You get to do what you think is right as opposed to taking orders from someone else," he said. "On the split side of that, you've got responsibility."
For example, Neilson frequently had to report and write, even though he didn't really enjoy it.
"I would only do that when it had to be done, but photography is a lot more fun than any of it," he said.
Even though he likes taking photographs, Neilson learned one day while shooting a football game that it isn't always pain-free.
"It was a Thanksgiving game … and I was concentrating, not really watching the play, and (the players) ran over me and I ended up crawling off the field," Neilson said.
"Afterward, when my sports editor was going over the game films, they got to that part and backed it up and played it over again and again," he said with a laugh.
Another of Neilson's most memorable assignments occurred on a slow Friday afternoon when he followed a fire truck parked on one side of the railroad tracks that was putting out a fire on the other side. The train station had been called to shut down the trains but mistook the instructions for another set of tracks.
"The train comes around the corner at 60 miles per hour," Neilson said. "I kept the motor drive running, taking three frames a second, and I ran over to the truck … (The train) sucks one of the hoses up and it swings it around. It was quite dramatic. The train went by two or three feet away from me."
The photograph, of a train running through the spewing water of the hose as the hose whips around and lifts the hat off a fireman's head, won Neilson recognition as photographer of the year from the Massachusetts Press Association.
Sometimes at a small newspaper, your best assignments come from "dropping everything you're doing, with your camera in hand, chasing the fire engines down the street," Neilson said.
'Stu Neilson prepares to eat at the Town Crier's office Christmas party in 1983.'
'It was a Thanksgiving game … and I was concentrating, not really watching the play, and (the players) ran over me and I ended up crawling off the field. Afterward, when my sports editor was going over the game films, they got to that part and backed it up and played it over again and again.'

Dad feared losing child - so he killed her
The McCarthy family farm at Foilnamuck in West Cork yesterday. Pic Steve Humphreys 6th March 2013.
Ralph Riegel and Majella O'Sullivan
THE father who killed his daughter and then himself left a note outlining his fears at being separated from the little girl.
Martin McCarthy left a lengthy note desperately justifying his actions before drowning himself and Clarissa (3).
The Herald has learned that in a long and rambling note left on the kitchen table of his Ballydehob home in west Cork, the 50-year-old staunchly defended his intended actions.
In the highly emotional letter to his devastated wife Rebecca, the farmer insisted that he had no other choice but to take the tragic course.
"Unusually, it was also exceptionally long and it's likely it took at least an hour to compose," said a source.
Mr McCarthy detailed his irrational fears that his marriage was at breaking point and that he couldn't bear to be separated from his daughter.
"He was worried that if the marriage ended he would see less of Clarissa. He said that he couldn't bear that and it was all too much," explained a source.
Gardai now believe that the farmer had carefully planned killing his only child and then himself, arranging to have time alone with his daughter on Tuesday evening while his wife visited a friend in the west Cork village.
Distraught
Mr McCarthy was said by neighbours to have been "absolutely devoted" to his little girl and very distraught at the potential break-up of his relationship.
The note now forms a crucial part of the garda investigation into the double tragedy.
The alarm was raised shortly after 11pm when Mr McCarthy's American-born wife, Rebecca Bailey-Cejnar (26), discovered the note he had left at their home at Foilnamuc – some 5km outside Ballydehob.
She had called to the house after becoming concerned about the whereabouts of Mr McCarthy and her little girl.
The woman was so shocked by the note's contents she immediately alerted gardai and a major search operation was launched with the aid of the Irish Coastguard and RNLI.
Rebecca is to be supported by family members who are flying from Los Angeles to be by her side.
The body of the little girl was found at 1.30am yesterday on the strand at Audley's Cove, just 1km from the family home.
The body of Mr McCarthy was found in shallow water at 2.30am over 200m away near an offshore island. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. They died sometime between 8pm and midnight.
Preliminary tests indicated that both died from drowning in salt water.
Locals said that the couple, who married in 2006, had seen their relationship run into difficulty over recent months. The American woman was just 19 when she married Mr McCarthy who was 23 years her senior.
They had met while she was working as an au pair in west Cork. The couple's only child, Clarissa, was born in 2006. Plans were already underway for her fourth birthday party in April.
Gardai described it as "a tragic incident" and said the nature of their investigation would be determined by the results of the post mortem.
However, garda sources said that they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the matter.
The distraught mother was last night being comforted by west Cork friends with members of her US-based family now flying to Ireland.
The farmer, who also worked part-time for a local vet, was a lifelong Fine Gael activist and canvassed for the party in the Cork South West constituency.
Former Cork TD PJ Sheehan (FG), a good friend of Mr McCarthy, said he was "deeply shocked" by the tragedy.
"My wife Frances and myself were at their wedding. She (Rebecca) is a lovely woman with a great personality. I could say he was tremendously happy with married life.
"Martin was a man you could rely on. He was a professional farmer who was energetic and highly respected. He was absolutely devoted to his wife and child and the little girl was his pride and joy."
The farmer had been in poor health recently and had been treated in CUH for a heart complaint before Christmas.
Several locals said that, while a shy man, he had been unusually subdued over recent weeks.
Mr McCarthy's former schoolmate, Leslie Swanton, said the entire Ballydehob community was devastated.
"He was an absolute gentleman. I knew Martin all my life. We went to school together for a spell. I am totally shocked."
Rebecca's friend, Catherine Norman, fought back the tears as she urged people at the scene not to rush to judgment over the tragedy.
"No one can say... no one can judge. This is a terrible tragedy not just for the family but for the entire community," she said.

I don't understand it all – I still can't believe it, says grandfather
THE Californian family of Rebecca McCarthy, whose three-year-old daughter was drowned by her husband before he took his own life, cannot make sense of the tragedy.
No answers to tragedy, just support
THE COUNTRY is in shock following the tragic deaths of Martin McCarthy and his daughter Clarissa. Many people are asking how such an incident could occur – how could a father murder his only child and then take his own life?


Although a Spanish origin has been suggest for the surname (family name) there is no evidence to support this or any good reason to propose it. The "Z" gives a suitable pronunciation as it is the way that a "S" is pronounced in the Cornish dialect. The landing of the Spanish at Mousehole in 1595 occurred over two hundred years before Tregenzas were found in that part of Cornwall.
The spelling has varied but the pronunciation is always similar in the Cornish dialect. The ending has been "S" or "Z" with "OE", "O", "OW" or "A". As the emphasis is always on the first two syllables the ending is hardly heard in normal Cornish pronunciation.
Outside Cornwall the name is often mis-spelt, most frequently one or both of the "E"s are replaced by "A" (Treganza or Traganza). Branches of the family in North America and New Zealand have adopted these spellings.
Jack R Tregenza (Unconnected family 20) wrote in 1971 "I will now explain the Treganza part. My grandfather JAMES who was born October 11 1841 in Cornwall came to this country in 1842 and went to Hazel Green, Wisconsin, mostly by covered wagon. It was there that a schoolmistress thought the name Treganza sounded better than Tregenza. As so often happened in the early west days, names were changed. It was on the trip to Cornwall in 1924 that my mother and I decided to go back to the original spelling."
Family names developed after the Normans (1066 onwards) began to introduce a regulated society. They had a sophisticated system of family names, hierarchy and heraldry that was unknown in the celtic world and more complex than anything the Anglo-Saxons had. The use of surnames or family names required for contacts with the royal court, law, civil service and government gradually moved into the provinces and reached the peasants in outlying areas last. Most Cornish got family names in the 15th century.
The creation of family names occurred while the native tongue, Cornish, was spoken. The celtic language of Cornish gradually faded and died after the invasion of the Anglo-Saxons (in 9th century) but due to the isolation of the county it continued to be spoken in some form until the 19th century, although all people spoke English from the 18th century onwards. Place names and surnames became fixed while the language was in full popular use. Dolly Pentreath was reputed to be the last person to speak the Cornish language fluently and she died in 1777. The people who now speak and write in the language have learnt the language that was resurrected and unified from the spoken and written remains of the language (see the dictionary by Morton Nance republished by Dyllansow Truran 1990).
Cornish family names have simple origins such as: 1. place where the owner lived or originated, 2. owner's father's first name, 3. the owner's occupation, 4. a feature of the person (often a nick-name). TRE (a farmstead), POL (a pool) and PEN (literally a head but used for a hill or headland) are common in place-names and family names but there are many others such as Andrewartha (an dre wartha = of the upper farmstead). Others are Angove (an gof = the blacksmith), Baragwanath (bara gwaeneth = wheaten bread), Cooch (coch = red for red-headed), Legassick (legas = eyes, legassek = prominent eyes) and Pascoe (pask = Easter for born at Easter). Johnson, Peters, Phillips etc.("s" or "son" indicating "son of") are less common in Cornwall. As several unrelated people may come from a particular farmstead, have red-hair, have a father called Peter etc. there is no necessity for all holders of a family name to be related though this is more likely with a rare name like Tregenza.
Tregenza must therefore be a family name from a place-name as TRE means farmstead. Tref (Tre or Dre in combination) means the group of dwellings and farm buildings typical of the Celtic countryside. These farmsteads consisted of several extended families, that are usually related, and who farmed co-operatively the surrounding area. In modern times these have reduced to one farm run by a small family or even a couple and many have disappeared as farms amalgamated. A few (especially those near the church) have however developed into villages and towns. Treneglos, Tresillian, Treliske and Treloyan are examples in Cornwall and Trefforest in Wales. Villages and towns are the usual settlement in England but they developed centuries later in the Celtic fringe (Cornwall, Wales and Scotland).
In Celtic languages adjectives nearly always follow the noun and so GENZA is an adjective. A search for the origin of the family name TREGENZA can therefore look for the meaning in Cornish language and also for a place called Tregenza.
T F G Dexter in his book Cornish Names 1926 gives the most likely explanation of the meaning of the name. He suggests that it derives from Tre gensa meaning the first, front, foremost or prime farmstead. The adjective 'kensa' is an irregular form for first (in the same way that in English 'first' is irregular and not derived from 'one'). The change of 'k' (or hard 'c') to 'g' is an example of the typical and common mutation of consonants used in Celtic languages to make speaking smoother.
The farmstead Tregenza was on top of a gentle rise above the parish church; overlooking it, the valley and old Tregonjohn farm-stead. Also the Tregenza farm was listed first on many documents sometimes with Tregonjohn. Both could have given rise to the name meaning first or foremost. After the church and Churchtown farm it is generally list first in parish records.
Richard Blewett gave meanings for family names in a series of newspaper articles in the West Briton ( 7 January 1960). "I have not found a place name and I have searched in vain for a clue to its meaning in any modern works on the Cornish language. But an 1870 book on Cornish surnames entitled Patronymica Cornu-Brittania was written by R. S. Charnock ..... I am offering his [Charnock's] interpretation of the surname Tregenza with some doubt from TREG-'N-SAIR = the dwelling of the woodman or carpenter." Blewett also says that Charnock's book includes names never found in Cornwall and derivations that do not stand up to modern scholarship.
The full Cornish elements could be TREF (dwelling or farmstead), AN (of the), PREN (wood or timber) and SER (pronounced SAIR = artificier). It is not sure that Charnock considered that the word PREN was there or just assumed. If it was there originally it would be expected to follow the noun SER not precede it. AN commonly reduces to 'N and TREF to TRE. However there appears to be no reason for the appearance of the G!

The new BeActive TV is now available
February 11, 2021 — Dübendorf, Switzerland: The new edition of BeActive TV, the first fitness on-demand platform in Poland, owned by Ewa Chodakowska, was launched. The platform has undergone a complete transformation, from a new look to the newest features. This is the result of the work of the BeActive TV team (BeBio), and Insys Video Technologies, an OTT solution provider, cooperating on the project from the very beginning. BeActive TV is based on the Insys Sport solution that allows sharing trainings online with users on any device.
"BeActive TV is the first fitness on-demand platform in Poland. Since its launch in 2017, it has been constantly growing, and the number of users training online is growing month by month. As pioneers, we wanted to create a platform that would give our users even more possibilities. We listen to their suggestions and needs, and the new version of BeActive TV is the answer to them," – says Lefteris Kavoukis, CEO of BeBio.
"BeActive TV is more than a training platform that enables online exercises during challenges, training sessions, and live events conducted by our trainers. It is also a source of motivation and an educational base. Due to the pandemic, many people do fitness exercises online for the first time. Moreover, the current situation has made physical activity and meditation indispensable tools to overcome stress and insecurity. We know how important it is to do the exercises correctly for health and achieve the desired results, so we have created a new educational section called "Do It Right". The materials collected there show how to properly perform individual exercises," – adds Kavoukis.
The new BeActive TV features include adding selected materials to favorites and continue watching, which allows users to watch the training from the moment where it was previously paused. In addition, the platform has an advanced search engine, the ability to promote content using dedicated lists, as well as graphic and video banners. What is more, BeActive TV has an advanced recommendation system, that works on the basis of a form filled in by the user.
"The new BeActive TV provides users with a new experience that will make the service even more intuitive. A feature worth mention is definitely the recommendation mechanism that adjusts the content to the user based on the completed form. Depending on the age, gender, or goal that the user wants to achieve, the website will match the challenges and training to a specific profile," says Krzysztof Bartkowski, CEO at Insys Video Technologies. "The new BeActive TV reflects what we specialize in. The customer trusted us and chose our company not only as a technology provider but also as a partner responsible for the development, maintenance, and support of the new application. This is all thanks to our comprehensive solution Insys Sport, which perfectly meets the needs of sports and training video content owners" – adds Bartkowski.
The new BeActive TV platform with all-new features is available to users from February 11th via the website, mobile applications for iOS and Android, and Android TV.

People who have panic attacks often wonder where they have come from. The truth is that it is caused by your own mind. It can be a very difficult illness to deal with for many people in the world. The symptoms can be so overwhelming that it seriously affects people's everyday life.
For some people this means that they struggle to drive their car, or go shopping at the supermarket, or even take their children to school. It is an illness that people can struggle with for many years, some people will struggle with it for the rest of their life. So it is understandable that people are desperate to get rid of this mental illness.
Many people go and see the doctor to get medication when they find that they are struggling with panic and anxiety disorder. But this is only a temporary solution, it is not something that will get rid of the problem for good.
A lot of people find that when they stop taking the medication that their anxiety symptoms return again. In addition, the medication that is often taken by people to deal with anxiety disorders can be addictive and can be very difficult to stop taking. This poses a risk to health. There are safer programs that can help you to deal with your panic and anxiety disorder and eventually get rid of it, like this one saccatalyst.com. This is a far better solution than damaging your long term health by getting addicted to benzodiazepines.

And Now, for the Anger
By Paul Flannery·	 2/5/2008, 2:01 p.m.
And on the second day, anger set in.
Anger that the coach couldn't have come up with a better gameplan. Anger that the Greatest Offense Ever didn't play like it. Anger that this team, which forced us to defend their honor when they, frankly, couldn't have cared less, didn't close the deal against the other Manning brother.
But most of all, anger because the Patriots bet their entire 7-year run on a perfect season, and they screwed it up.
Last week, I caught a replay of the 2002 Super Bowl. The Patriots outplayed, outsmarted, and out-hit the St. Louis Rams, and the entire crowd was behind them. When Bob Kraft took the stage and said, "We're all Patriots," it didn't even sound corny or trite. Everyone outside of St. Louis wanted to see them win.
Six years later, everyone wanted to see them fail. You can spin that any way you want. You can say it's because people always want to see Goliath fall. You can call it jealousy. But you can't deny it.
Let's be clear about this: Spygate was only a ripple in the ocean. If the rest of the league wants to pretend that they don't take every shortcut that's available, that's up to them. It's not that they did it: it's that they got caught. They got caught against the one guy who knew everything there was to know, and who would turn them in as fast as he could.
But that's still not the real problem. The issue is this: The Pats didn't have to do it. Not because they had assembled a brilliant team that didn't need any extra help, but because, win or lose, the Patriots could do no wrong in this town. They could even blow an 18-point lead against the Colts in the 2007 AFC Championship Game. Everything was forgivable.
But this year the Patriots made a deliberate choice. There would be no medals for trying, to steal a line from Bill Parcells. It was kill or be killed, and they beat the hell out of everyone. Running up the score? Please. If someone wanted to try and stop them, they could suck it up and try. These are grown men. Professionals. How badly they get beaten is ultimately on them. But when you play a zero-sum game, you have to live with the consequences.
This was about putting an exclamation point on everything they had accomplished. Tom Brady doesn't have Manning's stats? He does now. Brady and the Pats offense torched every meaningful passing and scoring record in sight, but, toward the end, it felt like they were playing for the record book, and that's where it went wrong.
Remember that stretch late in the year when Brady would fixate on Randy Moss? A couple of years ago, a friend of mine who covers the team put it like this: "Brady doesn't even know who he's throwing to. He just throws it to the spot and whoever is there is supposed to make the catch." In their unrelenting pursuit of immortality they somehow got away from what made them great in the first place.
They finally got back to that on their last TD drive, but it was too late.
This is their legacy, not ours. They decided it would be worth burning every bridge, and exhausting every ounce of good will they had built up outside of New England to try and achieve the one thing they had not yet achieved. But they screwed it up, and now they have to live with it.

Difference Between | Descriptive Analysis and Comparisons
Difference between HP Slate 7 and Nexus 7
Key Difference: The Slate supports a 7-inch 1,024 x 600 display and is powered by a dual-core A9 processor. It also includes 16GB internal storage and 1GB RAM. The tablet offers a primary camera of 3MP and a VGA (basic) secondary camera. According to engadget, the stainless steel frame offers some rigidity and the matte finish of the back is pleasing to the hands. It offers vibrant colors and also equips Beats Audio enhancement. The Nexus 7 is a tablet computer running Android 4.1 (also named Jelly Bean) operating system. It was developed in collaboration with Asus. It was the first tablet in the Google Nexus series and features a 7-inch (180 mm) display, an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core chip, 1 GB of RAM, and 8, 16 or 32 GB of internal storage.
Tablets have become a big deal in the market because of their mini-computer status. It is similar to a computer that has become easier to carry. Then came the 'phablet', a hybrid of phones and tablets. The constant change in technology allows users to pick phones, tablets and computers depending on their needs, choices and preference. Smartphones and tablets have become a way of life for many people, allowing them to do anything and everything on the go. This includes typing up a document, chatting with friends, video conferencing, writing up reports, checking e-mails, etc.
One of the most popular operating systems for smartphones and tablets is Android. Android is a Linux-based operating system owned and operated by the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 84 leading firms, which includes mobile handset makers, application developers, some mobile carriers and chip makers. The consortium is lead in part by Google, as well as HTC, Sony, Dell, Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, T-Mobile, Sprint Nextel, Nvidia, and Wind River Systems.
A number of these companies' smartphones and tablets run on Android. Android is an open source software, which means that the code is freely available for modification and distribution by device manufacturers, wireless carriers and enthusiast developers. Among the number of various companies, Google has also launched its own line of smartphones based on Android, called the Google Nexus. Each device in the Nexus line is produced via collaboration between Google and a leading original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner. Both, HP Slate 7 and Nexus 7 devices use Pure Android to power their tablets. One of the main difference is that the Slate 7 has yet to be launched, while Nexus 7 has already been released in June 2012. Also, Nexus 7 supports SIM cards and allows users to also connect via GPRS, while Slate 7 is a pure tablet and does not support SIM services.
The Nexus 7 is a tablet computer running Android 4.1 (also named Jelly Bean) operating system. It was developed in collaboration with Asus. It was the first tablet in the Google Nexus series and features a 7-inch (180 mm) display, an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core chip, 1 GB of RAM, and 8, 16 or 32 GB of internal storage. The 8 and 16 GB models were Wi-Fi only, and the 8 GB was eventually discontinued. The 32 GB models are both Wi-Fi and 3G compatible. The Nexus 7 was marketed effectively as an entertainment device.
After discontinuing the production of TouchPad and the rest of its mobile services, Engadget reports that HP announced at the Mobile World Congress that it will release a new tablet Slate 7 and will start shipping in the US in April 2013. The Slate supports a 7-inch 1,024 x 600 display and is powered by a dual-core A9 processor. It also includes 16GB internal storage and 1GB RAM. The tablet offers a primary camera of 3MP and a VGA secondary camera. According to engadget, the stainless steel frame offers some rigidity and the matte finish of the back is pleasing to the hands. It offers vibrant colors and also equips Beats Audio sound enhancement. The tablet is offered with Android v4.1 (Jelly Bean). It is also a pure tablet and does not support SIM operations. The best feature? Slate 7 will be available for only US$169.
The information for the detailed table about the two phones has been taken from the Nexus website, HP website, Engadget and GSMArena.com.

A more effective than average school, according to The Times "value-added" analysis.
Each school's rating was based on the performance of all students who took the California Standards Tests in math and English between 2003-04 to 2009-10. Value-added measures the difference between the expected progress of the student body and its actual performance. It is designed to estimate what the school contributes to students' learning. By contrast, the state's Academic Performance Index measures students' achievement level, which is tied closely to students' socio-economic background.

Each year the Department of Landscape Architecture sponsors the John R. Bracken Lecture Series and honors a distinguished individual as the John R. Bracken Fellow.
Dr. Bracken was a key part of the department's rich history – he was among the first to graduate from Penn State with an undergraduate degree in landscape architecture and he served as department head from 1924 to 1957. Bracken continued to serve the department as an active professor emeritus until his death in 1979. The lecture series, which began in the spring of 1982, was made possible by a generous endowment from Bracken's estate. These lectures, and the association with noted professionals through seminars and intimate discussions, have enriched the lives of our students.

You reach for the tissues, but the box is empty. It's been a long night and the fever and chills were keeping you up last night. So, you get up to get a new box. You stumble towards the kitchen but forgot what you were going there for. The flu made the rounds and it hit you hard. Now you are sitting on your couch trying to get some simple tasks done on your computer, but you keep ending up in a fog-like state forgetting what you were doing. Then you remember – you need a tissue, so you get up to go to the kitchen. Wait, the kitchen? Why are you going there again? Do you even have tissues in the kitchen? Do you have flu brain?
Flu brain is a thing! We all know it, but have you ever wondered the reason for it? Maybe when you are standing in the kitchen wondering why you are there.
So why does this happen when we are sick?
white blood cells who are always looking for foreign invaders and when they find them they send a signal to your fighters, the cytokines. These proteins, released by your immune system, cause an inflammatory response to get the pathogen out of your body.
The cytokines are also going to impact the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, noradrenaline and choline. These neurotransmitters are messengers that impact mood, motivation, alertness, cognition, memory and learning. If their production is slowed, you can see why you might have a bit of brain fog.
So, it's not all in your head. Brain fog along with all the other symptoms are your body's normal immune response to the cold and flu. Your body is fighting off pathogens!
How do you get rid of Flu Brain?
The only way to shorten your flu brain is to shorten the length time the virus is in your body. The quicker you get the offending virus out of your body, the faster your cognitive capabilities return. The only way to do that is to bolster your immune system.
Skip the sugars and grains. This is a good suggestion in general, but sugar and gluten will disrupt your gut flora, compromising your immune system. Since 80% of your immune system is in your gastrointestinal tract you can't afford to attack it. (1) You also want to avoid your allergies. If you don't know what they are get them tested.
A few squirts of silver helps. We love a great broad-spectrum silver around here. Silver hydrosol, a form of colloidal silver, has many properties that will boost your immune system by helping fight those bacteria, viruses and fungi that pass along sickness. It won't prevent an illness, but it will kill the bad guys. Good news is it doesn't kill those good guys that fight the illness but boosts them by helping in the fight.
Don't fight the fevers. Fever is an effective way to regulate the body and the body is always working to make sure it's running efficiently. Fever is a way to kill off unwanted bacteria. Check out our article on fevers to learn more.
Medicinal mushrooms build immunity. Medicinal mushrooms like reishi and chaga are great for immune support with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties. They have an earthy flavor and go a long way in bolstering that immune system.
Get an adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments are great for prevention and also important during an illness. An adjustment will take stress off the nervous system so that the body can focus on fighting the illness.
Keep echinacea on hand. We use a high-quality echinacea tincture at first symptoms. You won't love the strong flavor that lingers for a while. You will love how it shortens that cold or flu though.
Zinc shortens your illness. We've known for years that zinc is a great defense against colds and even the flu. If you begin taking zinc at first sign of sickness, it can shorten the duration and severity. Even better, it does not require a prescription.
Knowing flu brain is a thing might not make it any easier. It will be a reminder to give yourself a little more time for big projects, problem solving and to be extra cautious when driving. It's also a good reason to give your body what it needs to fight any battles and take good care of yourself. Who has time to miss a lot of work or to wander around looking for a box of tissues?

Museum pitched for Billings' Dehler Park
By Kevin Reichard on March 21, 2011 in Features, Minor-League Baseball
Baseball enthusiasts in Billings want to commemorate the city's hardball history with a new museum added to Dehler Park, the current home of the Billings Mustangs (rookie; Pioneer League) and the city's American Legion teams.
The plan, as presented to the Billings City Council, calls for the Billings Baseball Preservation Society to raise $3.5 million to add a 7,000-square-foot addition to Dehler Park in two or three years. The addition would contain baseball memorabilia collected over the years and never exhibited at Cobb Field, which stood on the Dehler Park site. There's a lot of colorful baseball history in Billings: Cobb Field was named for restaurateur Bob Cobb, owner of Hollywood's Brown Derby who was instrumental in arranging pro baseball in town through the Hollywood Stars (Pacific Coast League). (He also claims to have invented the Cobb Salad, but that's another story.) Former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Dave McNally grew up in Billings and played Legion ball there; after retirement he returned to Billings. (He's already honored with a statue at the entrance to Dehler Park.)
The group would raise the money for construction and donate the addition to the city, while providing ongoing support for staffing and other expenses.

Japanese Air Force WW2 planes
The Japanese battlehorse
pampa14 Thu Dec 11, 2014 8:30 am
Although with certain disabilities, the Mitsubishi G4M was one of the pillars of the Japanese Air Force, especially during the early years of WW2, collecting numerous victories in many bombing missions. The following link provides a full report with a lot of pictures and information about this amazing bomber. I hope you enjoy it and I count on your visit.

Most westerners underestimate the Japanese military power in the late 1930s... if the US had not cracked their communications codes things could have taken a lot longer and perhaps even gone differently.
Many of their naval attack planes were excellent and rather better than planes the allies used at the time.
pampa14 Sat Feb 28, 2015 1:03 pm
The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka was a rocket powered human-guided anti-shipping kamikaze attack plane, using as a platform, the bomber Mitsubishi G4M Betty. The following link shows a report and some photos this weapon, employed by Japan towards the end of World War II. I hope you enjoy.

It has always been one of my favorite "aircraft" designs of WW2. Literally a manned cruise missile.

I share with you the link below containing a collection of photos, including a rare photo of an airplane captured and with USAAF markings, of the Japanese fighter Kawasaki Ki-100, recognized by many as one of the best, if not the best Japanese fighter designed and built during WW2. Does Ki-100 deserves the fame? What do you think? Visit the link below, see the photos and give your opinion. I hope you enjoy.

From what i've read it was an excellent fighter, but far too little and far too late by that time (entered combat summer 1945). Coming in 1943 might have made a difference in the air - same as Ki-84, A6M8, A7M, Shiden-kai, Raiden etc.
Btw, the picture with the american star is actually a Ki-84 not a Ki-100.

The link also features a selection of photos unimaginable for the High Command of the Luftwaffe at the beginning of WW2, see their powerful Me-109 and Fw-190 fighters captured and tested with allied markings.

The Japanese copy of Me-262 was called Nakajima J9Y Kikka and it never saw combat. Only one aircraft flew and only once, shortly before the end of the war. The fighter was meant (like Me-262) to be a destroyer of bombers but it's specifications were worse than Me-262, chiefly 200 km/h lower max speed The Japanese fighter did not have swept wings.

The Japanese naval planes were not better than the allies; where do you get that information from? They had little armor. This article explains the weakness of the Mitsubishi Zero:

this is an even better one:

Walther von Oldenburg Wed Jul 10, 2019 11:26 am
Japanese fighters were world class when they entered service but IJA/IJN did not have a clear development strategy for their aviation so the pilots continued flying more and more obsolete aircraft throughout the war. You see that the Zero entered service in 1940 but it did not have a proper successor until 1944.
IJN also had very innovative submarines in late 1930s (No 71 Submarine was even faster underwater than the German Type XXI) but the projects weren't developed further as conservative admirality did not believe submarines are that important. IF they were, IJN could have an equivalent of Type XXI in service in mid war, it would be sinking US ships left and right and USN could do nothing but watch.
