India's child mortality rates down but newborn deaths still haunting
Sona Prebhakar
India's child mortality rates have shown a deep decline in the last two decades but the country is yet to bring down the number of deaths of newborn.
The number of children dying between the first month and five years has come down by 70 per cent but the country could achieve slash the percentage of newborn mortality to 52 per cent, said the Global Childhood Report brought out by Save the Children.
Noting that death of newborn children has been high around the world, the report says that two thirds of all deaths under the age of five years in India occur in the first 28 days of birth.
With respect to child marriage, the report says that India has made tremendous progress in curbing child marriages. It says that child marriages in India have come down to 51 per cent. Afghanistan has also seen good progress in curbing child marriages since 2000. Likewise, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh have all made good progress, the report says.
The report says that if child marriages had not been curbed in India, then there could have been about nine million more married girls in the country today. The report says that India could make such remarkable progress in the last two decades because of its various innovative programmes such as providing financial assistance to the family of the girl child who keep their kids in schools, creating awareness of illegality of such marriages, educating the masses against the health issues related to child marriages,
Apart from this, the report says that India has also brought down teen births by 63 per cent in the last two decades.

3. Sous Vide - My newest meat prep device. Anyone else experimenting with this technique?
Thanks Gary. Still new around here. Hadn't made it that far down the board index yet.
Gary just likes playing board cop.
Whole thread on SV. Seek and you shall find.
Clarkston, I have a Bradley as well. But don't use it anymore. Find Traeger to be far superior. Probably mainly because the pucks can be hard for me to find locally.
Not even close but whatever floats your boat pal.
Grilling, hands down. I have neither the patience nor the equipment to do long smokes.
I've done ribs on my Weber Kettle but don't have the desire to do more.
That's what I love the Traeger (or my Bradley before that). It gives a more than adequate final product with much less work.
For smoking on the BGE, the FlameBoss is life-changing.
Which flame boss do you use?
And we have a Joule we recently purchased and are learning to use.
Big believer in having the right tool, though it's all good.
Before the Stumps I had figured out a way to smoke pork butts in the pizza oven.
Never seen a Stumps before. Interesting design. Do you use the ball valve to control the temp?
No, you can but since I use the BBQ guru, you open the valve 100% and the fan screws into the open valve. The microprocessor then pulses the fan to maintain whatever smoker set point temperature you want, works like a charm.
The stumps is a heavy duty smoker, it weighs a ton, probably a little more than what we need (just the two of us) and I have the "baby" model.
There are two characteristics that I don't care for; cleaning out the charcoal chute when your done is a bit messy and when your doing a cook and pull out the grate to baste or sauce your food there is nothing to catch the drippings.
Having said that, it does a really good job on the smoke.
I got the Flame Boss 300 with wi-fi. Works well, generally handy. But the key is to let me sleep peacefully if I'm doing a brisket or something overnight.
At the house I have a Weber Ranch Kettle that handle the duties of direct and indirect grilling as well as low temp smoking.
At the ranch, I also have a Ranch Kettle and an offset 24 X 48 inch barrel smoker.
That's why I love the Traeger for smoking. But having something like that would also grill and move to one apparatus would be nice.

A Year After Stroke, Police Officer Back on the Job and Slopes
Treatment, rehab at Scripps hospitals set course for successful recovery
A year after surviving a life-threatening stroke, Oceanside police officer Angela Guerra has returned to work, is paddle boarding again and recently won a gold medal in cross-country skiing at the World Police and Fire Games.
As caregivers and survivors across the country mark National Stroke Awareness Month in May, Guerra is reflecting on the swift treatment she received from a multidiscipline team at the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and the crucial therapy she underwent at the outpatient physical rehabilitation program at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas
"I never in a million years thought that I would have a stroke," said Guerra, 42. "After almost dying, I dealt with the fight to recover, something many other people who have this stroke don't get to do because they don't survive. It's made me grateful every day for waking up, walking, talking and breathing."
Guerra suffered what's known as a hemorrhagic stroke one morning in April 2016 while climbing the stairs that lead from the beach where she surfs. Only 30 percent of people who have a hemorrhagic stroke survive it. Guerra's stroke was caused by a previously undetected aneurysm on her brain stem, which ruptured and leaked blood throughout the back of her brain, causing a sudden paralyzing headache.
"I remember standing there, holding my head and not being able to move because of the pain. It was so bad I felt like I was going to be sick," Guerra recalled.
Fortunately, she remained conscious and was able to tell a friend what was happening. He knew severe headaches could be a sign of something serious and made the pivotal decision to call 911.
Catheter procedure stopped bleeding
Guerra was quickly transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas where doctors determined her condition and stabilized her before transferring her to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, home to one of the country's first nationally certified Comprehensive Stroke Centers, which provide the highest, most sophisticated level of care to stroke patients.
Within hours, interventional neuroradiologist Giuseppe Ammirati, MD, had stopped the bleeding in Guerra's brain with endovascular aneurysm coiling, a procedure that uses a catheter to place a small platinum coil into the aneurysm. The coil acts like grout to fill a hole, triggering blood clotting and stopping bleeding, Dr. Ammirati said.
"As a comprehensive stroke center, we have an experienced team of experts who review every case and collectively decide the approach to treatment that will offer the best results with the least risk," he said. "Angela's case was difficult to treat because the aneurysm was located in a sensitive area of the brain that controls movement and function. When the team looked at the radiological images, it was determined that an endovascular approach was best."
Studies have shown that for a hemorrhagic stroke, survival rates with endovascular treatment are 20 percent higher, Dr. Ammirati said.
"Angela was fortunate that she was in very good shape with no comorbidities and her friend knew that an unusually severe headache warranted a call to 911, so she got treatment from an experienced team before the stroke became too advanced," he said.
Know the signs of stroke
American Stroke Month is a good time for people to familiarize themselves with the signs of stroke and the appropriate actions, Dr. Ammirati said. Quick thinking and awareness, like that shown by Guerra's friend, can help to save a life.
•	Hemorrhagic stroke often occurs in someone with a previously undetected brain aneurysm. Sudden onset of a headache of a severity never experienced before could be a sign of an aneurysm. Often the person loses consciousness before he or she can receive treatment.
•	An ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage of blood flow to the brain and can cause weakness, numbness and paralysis in the arm, leg or face; slurred or garbled speech; dizziness or loss of coordination; and blindness or blurriness in one eye.
As a Comprehensive Stroke Center, Scripps provides minimally invasive stroke care not available at many other hospitals. Criteria for Comprehensive Stoke Center designation includes participation in research, access to advanced imaging and performing a minimum number of procedures, as well as treating a minimum number of conditions annually. The certification recognizes the significant differences in resources, staffing and training that are necessary for the treatment of complex stroke cases.
Guerra spent almost a month in the hospital recovering and several more months receiving physical therapy to regain the strength and dexterity that can be sapped from a patient by such a traumatic health event. In November, angiogram images of the arteries and blood vessels in her brain showed that she was well enough to return to the police force, where she has worked for nine years.
A month later, Guerra competed in several races at the World Police and Fire Games in Mammoth, Calif., taking home the gold in cross-country skiing.
"I feel great. I'm thankful to be back at work, full-duty. I realize that I'm very lucky and fortunate to have received the great care that I did at Scripps, and I am continuing to push myself to train and increase my strength and endurance even more," Guerra said.
Medical experts recommend that you think FAST if you think someone is having a stroke:
Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?
Time: If you observe any of these signs, call 911 immediately.
If you would like more information about this topic or a referral to a Scripps doctor or program, call 858-252-1335, Monday - Friday, 7 am - 7 pm, to speak with a member of our call center.


I'm married with three wonderful children. At the age of 32, I found out my Mother was a carrier of a rare gene mutation in her CDH1 Gene. It was the same gene mutation that caused stomach cancer in three of my mothers family members. Being a carrier of this gene mutation gave me an 80%+ chance of developing stomach cancer. On top of that, once cancer is formed, it's extremely hard to detect and almost always fatal.
I was given a choice: 1) monitor the situation and get scans/scopes/biopsies a few times a year to try and "catch" cancer early, or 2) have a prophylactic total gastrectomy (total removal of the stomach). The end goal: Live a very long life. I didn't like either option, to be honest, but option two seemed to have the best chance for me living a long life. It is also the recommendations of doctors familiar with this disease.
I created this blog to document my journey. Others in my situation have done the same, and I found it very encouraging as I tried to learn about my disease. I'm hopeful I can pass the torch. I'm having surgery January 6, 2018. Wish me luck!

Edward P. Jones Interview
The Boston Globe has an interview with Edward P. Jones, the author of The Known World.
He got a few temporary college teaching assignments after "Lost in the City" appeared, but kept his job, while casting about for a new story to write. In the back of his mind was a fact he had learned at Holy Cross: that there had been black slaveholders in the antebellum South. For more than 20 years, that fact had gnawed at his imagination.
He says, "It was a shock that there were black people who would take part in a system like that. Why didn't they know better?" It could make a fine story, perhaps a novel, but by 2001 all he had written was six pages of the first chapter and six of the last. He had been writing the rest in his head.

Yesterday, when Alinna came back home and saw my haircut, she frowned and said, "You look like a shorn sheep."
Apparently, my hair was so long for such a long period of time that I look naked and sad now. To give a better picture of how drastic it was, there was about an inch and a half of hair on the ground. It probably didn't help that I was shivering a little because it was so cold yesterday afternoon.
Many thanks to my family and Steve and Jeff for coming all the way out to Mountain View to cheer me on and support me on Sunday.


The Suzerain universe is evolving into the Suzerain Continuum. And in order for Suzerain to be used at its greatest potential, you need to know about the Suzerain Continuum and all of its applications.
So, as Savage Mojo rises to the next level, discover all the secrets and layers of this new High-Tech PDF, and all the secrets and layers of the Suzerain Continuum! Come and get in on the fun!
This high-tech PDF will need version 9+ Adobe Acrobat Reader on Mac, PC or Linux and you can download the latest version for free here. Suzerain Continuum is a large file size that is not meant for printing. When you open the file, please start with reading the Using This PDF box on the right-hand side of the first page. Click through that box to see further instructions on navigation and enjoy!
If you have problems with this file (and it uses bleeding edge PDF technology) then feel free to get in touch with us to try and help you out. You can also find the contents of the file on our Suzerain wiki, so don't feel like you're missing out if you have issues with the Suzerain Continuum PDF.
"...There are some books, though, where we've gone the extra mile to make things mesh. You can tell those by the little Suzerain logo on the cover of the book. What that means is there's a PDF that comes for free with the setting—anyone can have it.
Finally got the file to download clean. I'm able to read through it fine. Right from the start I was shocked to see the same terms and concepts that I have for all my stuff; you guys are clearly reading my mind. HA!
Now, which storage box did I put the _Dumarest of Terra_ books in. Any ideas? No? Okay, be that way. HA!
Even when I go to My Library and click on the link for the updated PDF, the one that downloads is still only 2 MB. Note that I've tried this on two different browsers, to make sure it wasn't a caching issue. Is there something else I should be doing? Thanks for any help you can provide.
The download should be working just fine now. Can I ask you to drop a note to DriveThruRPG so their tech guys can take a look at your account. There's something screwy going on there for sure.
After a bit of extra digging, it looks like there's still a bit of a problem hanging around the files on the DriveThrurPG server. I'm sure they'll fix that up in due course, but right now, for a few people, it seems like the download link doesn't work. However, after testing it appears that if you go through checkout with the product again, the new link it generates will work.
It's a pain - nobody should have to check out twice for the same PDF - but it is a solution for the time being.
Not sure I am getting it... this 58mb doc has only 4 pages with links to some previews. Is that alt that there is to find???
There are a lot of interactions that you can do with this PDF. Some of the pictures change when you click on them, there a pop up pages detailing different realms, and sections like the "Using the PDF" that change when you click on the symbol.
Hi there Roger. The file is based off four screens that you can navigate and plenty of content as part of each screen which you activate by clicking on various elements. In total it's the equivalent of a 32 page art-intensive PDF done the traditional way, and that seems like it's enough for a primer document to a setting. Try clicking on boxes of text and images to see what happens.
Any chance you will put out an old fashioned "don't have to hunt and peck" document?
Seems to be working so far with the lastest Foxit PDF viewer.....little sluggish on the corner page animations. The Suzerain icons works as well. A question though, are there any page numbers?
Everything should be working properly for the download link. However, please do not use the "Click here to get it link". That link hasn't automatically updated, so it will show whatever link was there at the time of purchase. I am currently checking to see if I can get that changed for everyone and I'll be happy to let you know when I get more information.
Yeah, I have a 58MB file that doesn't seem to have more than 1page. I was told I could use the arrow keys to move to the next pages but that's not working for me.
Good to hear. I am glad that you were able to fix the issue.
"Suzerain Continuum is a large file size that is not meant for printing"
Aha, 2mb is a large file? With only 1 page?
The download link was having problems earlier. It is now fixed.
The newest update completely broke this PDF.
if you're still having problems (and this goes for anyone) then feel free to contact me personally on mmk [at sign] savagemojo [dot] com and I'll do whatever I can to help you out. Apologies that the file had a blip on the OneBookShelf servers but they worked very hard to find the fault and help get us back up and running, so kudos to them.


We're under attack! Because of a computer screen?
Over the weekend, the residents of Hawaii got some crazy alerts about a missile that had launched. People were in a panic…but it was a false alarm. How can clicking one button immediately send out an alert like this, causing a state-wide panic, with no precautions in place and no "false alarm" alert handy just in case? How does a mistake like that happen?
It comes down to having a terrible user interface on a computer.
There are two big things to keep in mind when designing a user interface.
One: it should be easy for the user to establish muscle memory; like the old calculators and input systems. If someone is entering data all day the interface doesn't have to look pretty, it just has to be functional in the sense that they know that three right clicks, two down arrows, and "enter" accomplishes their task.
The flaw to keep in mind here is if anything changes on that interface, that user's world is going to end.
Two: the interface needs to be intuitive, like a kiosk. Someone walking up to it for the first time would be able to look at it and figure it out. Simple and obvious.
With all of that in mind, what happened in Hawaii?
Simply put, the user interface for that alert system is seriously outdated. A list of links made up of a string of words. In actuality the link the employee was supposed to click on to send the test alert only was only 4 letters different from the one they weren't supposed to click on (it just says "Drill" on the test link).
On top of that, at the time there was no system in place to immediately send out a false alert message (it has since been added).
We stress to our clients, and our clients understand, that there is a shelf life to technology. And they are very good about upgrading and staying current. So why do we have such a key important system running on such old tech?
Things die, entropy is in everything.
So we have to build our lives and our work around that, understanding that things will eventually fail. This is why we have redundancies in place (we could go off and talk about backups and protections here). The importance of staying current, updating, and having a solid user interface is very apparent in this event.
Just another technology thing we have to work out!

Q: Comments on posts with new custom post type redirected to another post I've ran into a strange problem today.
I created a new custom post type, "blog". Everything appears to be working correctly. However, when I make a new comment on a post under this new custom post type, the comment is instead sent to another post of mine, which is of the default type.
The comments show on all posts of the new custom type, and on the old post. The backend shows no comments on any posts of the custom post type, however.
Deleting the old post which recieves the comments simply assigns another old post as the unlucky reciever.
The comment submit button points to the wrong ID on all posts of the new custom post type.
What's going on? How do I even begin to debug this?

Classic Guns: Old Model Ruger Single Six
Author Topic: Classic Guns: Old Model Ruger Single Six (Read 554 times)
https://gundigest.com/article/classic-guns-old-model-ruger-single-six
By Jerry Lee -July 12, 2019
For its first several years, the Single Six had what was known as a "flat loading gate" on the side of the receiver.
A gun inspired by the classic Western TV shows of the 1950s that were dominating the family room of nearly every home in America, the Ruger Single Six has gone on to become the stuff of legend.
How Did The Ruger Single Six Become An American Icon:
The Ruger Single Six was inspired by the popularity of TV and movie Westerns in the 1950s.
Given Colt discontinuing the SAA, the revolver gained a foothold.
Originally the .22 LR had a 5 1/2-inch barrel, and 4 5/8, 6½ and 9½-inch models were later added.
The main difference between the 'Old' and 'New' model Ruger Single Six was only safe to carry the old with the hammer down on an empty chamber.
The advent of the transfer bar safety made carrying a fully loaded Ruger Single Six a reality.
The year was 1951. Bill Ruger's company was profitable and becoming well established in the industry, and he was anxious to expand his product line. The new medium of television was growing rapidly. Black and white TV screens were lighting up America's living rooms every night, and some of the most popular programs were Westerns. A common thread in these shows was the type of handguns used by both good guys and bad guys. By far the most frequently seen models were single-action revolvers, most of them patterned after the Colt Single Action Army.
Bill Ruger, who had always been a fan of the classic Colt, saw an opportunity. Colt had ceased production of the Single Action Army at the beginning of World War II and there was no indication that it would be back anytime soon. In fact, an official announcement from Colt several years earlier had stated there would not be a post-war Colt SAA. Based on the popularity of Westerns on the TV screen and in motion pictures, Ruger decided to develop an updated and improved version of the single-action revolver.
The timing was a wise move. It would be 25 years before Colt returned to the single-action market, and by that time Ruger would be well positioned as the leader in the field. The popularity of TV Westerns continued through the '50s and peaked in 1959, when an amazing eight out of the 10 most popular programs were Westerns.
A Grand Entrance
Work had been underway on the first Ruger single-action since 1950, and by June of 1953, the gun was ready, the Single Six. Like the Ruger Standard Automatic pistol, the Single Six was chambered for the great .22 Long Rifle — everyman's cartridge. Based on the appearance of the Colt Single Action Army revolver, it was first introduced with a 5½-inch barrel. It could also be used with .22 Short or .22 Long ammunition. As the name suggested, the cylinder held six rounds, but the original model should only be carried with the hammer over an empty chamber. (See Old vs. New Models below.)
Later models were added with a 4 5/8-inch, 6½-inch or 9½-inch barrels. Grips were checkered hard rubber with a black eagle medallion inlay on each side. Varnished walnut or stag grips were available as an option with ivory grips added in 1954. The ivory-grip version of Ruger Single Six is one of the rarest and most collectible. The standard model had a blued barrel and cylinder with an anodized aluminum grip frame. The earliest models featured a flat loading gate and rounded profile front sight. Made between 1953 and 1957, these became known as Flat Gate models. In 1958, this loading gate was changed to a contoured shape.
This picture of a New Model Single Six illustrates two important Ruger features — the contour-shaped loading gate, and the famous transfer bar firing system shown in the cocked position. When the trigger is pulled, the bar drops down to allow the hammer to hit the firing pin.
A series of Ruger Single Six models — about 250 — were engraved by the factory between 1954 and 1958, and they are considered the most collectible of all Ruger firearms. Most were engraved by Charles Jerred of the United States, while a total of 22 were sent to Spain to be engraved by several notable artisans there.
A Lightweight Single Six with aluminum cylinder was introduced in 1954. Original prices were $57.50 for the Standard model in 1953, and $63.25 for the Lightweight (1955). In 1959, a version was introduced chambered for the .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) cartridge, and it was made only with a 6½-inch barrel. A Single Six Convertible model with interchangeable .22 LR and .22 WMR cylinders became available in 1962 and replaced the .22 WMR only model. It was made with barrel lengths of 4 5/8, 5½, 6½ or 9½ inches.
The Super Single Six model was introduced in 1964. Features include an adjustable rear sight, a ramp front, integral sight rib, and interchangeable cylinders for .22 LR and .22 WMR. Barrel lengths were 4 5/8 inches (rare), 5½ and 6½ inches. About 100 nickel-plated guns were made from 1965 to 1968.
The Bearcat was a more compact cousin of the Single Six with a fancier, jazzier look, much like the sports car of the '20s for which it was named.
The Bearcat is a scaled-down single action in .22 LR with a non-fluted, roll-engraved cylinder. Introduced in 1958, the first Bearcats had plastic wood-impregnated grips, later changed to walnut in 1963. Many Ruger aficionados are aware that Bill Ruger was an admirer and collector of classic automobiles. Among these was the Stutz Bearcat, and when Ruger designed a new variant of the Single Six he named it the Bearcat. In addition to its scaled-down size, the Bearcat was a fancier, racier gun with a black anodized aluminum frame and a brass-colored, anodized alloy trigger guard. The Old Model was discontinued in 1972 and reintroduced in 1995 as the Bearcat New Model.
Old vs. New Models
Shooters, collectors and gun historians categorize all Ruger single-action revolvers, including rimfire and centerfire models, as Old Models and New Models. The most significant difference between them is that the Old Models, made before 1973, were based on the original single-action designs of the 19th century and should be carried with the hammer lined up with an empty chamber. This was to avoid an accidental discharge if a gun was dropped with the hammer positioned over a live round. Beginning in 1973, a transfer bar safety was added, which prevented the gun from firing unless the trigger was pulled, allowing the safe carry of six rounds in the cylinder. All Ruger single actions made after 1973 have this safety feature, including current models.
In addition to the improved transfer-bar firing system, other changes included the option of adjustable sights, a stainless-steel finish and a new loading procedure. Unlike the Old Models, the hammer has no half-cock position. With the hammer in the forward position, the loading gate is opened and the cylinder can full rotate. After loading or unloading, the gate is simply closed.
This 9½-inch barreled Ruger Single Six is capable of excellent accuracy, as demonstrated here by the great Single Action guru, John Taffin.
The New Model Single Six is still in production today. Many different models and variations have been added to the New Model Ruger line over the years, too many for us to cover in this column. As is the case with other Ruger firearms, there are numerous special editions, commemoratives and distributor exclusive models. Since most of the collector interest in the Single Six or Bearcat is for the Old Models, the values shown nearby are for those revolvers.

Re: Classic Guns: Old Model Ruger Single Six
Love those Old Models!

I don't have any of the older model Ruger guns. I do have a newer Single Six with 9.5" barrel but it's much newer than the one in the article. Mine shoots that well but I no longer do.
My shooting these days is pretty pathetic compared to what it used to be. In the last century when I could still see the sights clearly and my hands didn't shake like a vibrator I could shoot such groups.
In fact we used to shoot at NRA .22 rifle silhouettes with our handguns. We had a chicken swinger we shot at 25 meters not yards. It was really about an inch or a bit more if ya don't count the little head/beak and tail poking out beyond those dimensions.
It was rare that it didn't take 6 of 6 to win when we shot at it. We'd put up money, how much varied, and it was winner take all. It was a 6 shot match cuz mostly we used revolvers to shoot it and with iron sights that came from the factory.
I mostly used my S&W Model 17 with 8-3/8" barrel. My best friend Billy Doss mostly used his Ruger Single Six with 9.5" barrel. We beat that little chicken up so badly it took a permanent bend to almost become round and we knocked it off the swinger arm several times. Each time we knocked it off we'd pound it flat again and have it welded back and start again.
These days I don't think I'd even be able to see it at that distance much less be able to hit it.
ive had 3 of those old models. One i had alan harton covert to a 5 shot 41 special. I think Boge Quinn has that one now. At least i sold it to him. Dont know if he still has it though. one of the other two i sent off to dave clements and had the frame, hammer and trigger case colored. It was a beautiful gun. Dont remember who i sold or traded that one too. The third i gave to my nephew. Ive had many single sixs through the years but only have one today. A newer convertible. By newer i mean i bought it in the late 70s. The old ones sure do look cooler though.

I really like the single six baby vaceraos. I've got 2 new models in 32 H&R. Look like colt SAAs.

Thanks for the remind. Just got through oiling mine again. I have the old model without the transfer bar. I was at a show and a collector would not give a guy 300 for it. I did... Mine has an extra cylinder for it. LR and wmr.
had an old model single six for about 20 years. Never shot it much because my 2 new models both outshot it. Ended up going to Galhanger to be converted to a 5 shot 41 special at the same time i sent him a bearcat to be made into a 5 shot 32 mag. 32 mag ended up going to my buddys daughter who fell in love with it and the 41 special i sold to Boge Quinn. I do like the look of an old model single six though. Id like to have one today with a barrel cut to 4 5/8s in plain old 22lr.
thats the comical part of the old model ruger deal. People actually think they have some collector piece when there worth about a 1/3 less then a new one. About the same as any new model single six is used. Used to get guys asking me how i could cut one up. Well there not worth good money and as to a 357 old model getting converted, i have absolutely no use for a 357. Used to pick them up for 200 dollars and at that time a new one was 375. Real investment grade gun there About the only ruger that a guy should have bought is a hawkeye single shot. there worth quite a bit. Maybe a 357 max or one of those 3220/32 mag 44mag/4440 guns. Even those three dont bring big money. Kind of like keeping a 73 impala in the garage thinking its going to make you rich some day.

Trophy Town Boston Adds Another
Why This Matters: Boston, where well-entrenched local news outlets command loyalty, can be a tough town to relaunch in.
There are hot streaks, and then there's what's happening in Boston. The Red Sox won the World Series in October, and the Patriots grabbed the Super Bowl in February. And while Boston is notorious for brutal winters, the current one has been OK. Four inches of snow fell one day in mid-February, which one GM said was, to date, the winter's worst.
"Winter hasn't been bad," said Mike St. Peter, president and general manager of WBTS, WNEU and New England Cable News. "Although bad weather is good for ratings."
NBCUniversal seized the NBC affiliation from Sunbeam Television's WHDH at the start of 2017, launching WBTS as NBC Boston. The station was rechristened as NBC10 a year ago. "Not everyone was able to find us," explained St. Peter, who said the station is "right on pace" with expectations.
WHDH went independent. It has Family Feud 8 to 9 p.m., and local news at 9, 10 and 11 p.m. The station does a staggering 12 and a half hours of news a day. "It's easy for me to say I've got the hardest working crew in Boston," said Jimmy Rogers, VP and general manager of WHDH and The CW-aligned WLVI.
Further adding to the tumult in market No. 9 is the sale of the Cox Media Group stations, including Fox affiliate WFXT, to Apollo Global Management.
Boston is a challenging market to relaunch in. Viewers have well-established loyalties to well-entrenched stations, such as Hearst Television's ABC outlet WCVB and CBS-owned WBZ.
WCVB topped WFXT in the 6 a.m. race in November (adults 25-54 Monday-Friday), and beat runner-up WBZ at 5 and 6 p.m. At 11 p.m., WCVB did a 1.24, while WBZ was at 0.87.
"A case could be made that, despite decades of market leadership, WCVB has never been this dominant," said Bill Fine, president/ general manager.
The station added a regular Saturday 7 p.m. newscast last month.
WBZ marked its 70th anniversary last year and is expanding its reach with podcasts such as Studio BZ, which covers "Boston and beyond."
"It's just another way to connect with our audience, bring them to our brand," president and general manager Mark Lund said.
WBZ is the proud Patriots station. Super Bowl LIII did a 57 rating and an 84 share. "Off the charts," Lund said.
Comcast is the dominant pay-TV player. Besides WBTS, it has Telemundo station WNEU, news network NECN and NBC Sports Boston. All will be in one Needham facility in the fall. "It's a really spectacular, state-of-the-art facility," St. Peter said.
Princell Hair is general manager of NBC Sports Boston, which has been busy covering all the championships. "We've captured the tone and voice of fans in the marketplace," he said.
There's more to cheer about than sports. The market's diverse economy — tech, elite colleges, finance, health care — is robust.
"There's never a lack of activity going on in Boston," Fine said. If you're a local sports fan, he added, "you have to adapt to having the world jealous of you."

Are you a runner? You may be hoping to achieve your personal best or just training for a marathon. It is a good form of exercise for your body and your health in general. However, when you have a consistent running schedule, it may become too monotonous. If you want to become faster and better in your running routine, turn it up by adding some fitness classes. Fitness classes for runners are an excellent way to address the limitations of a regular running routine. It supplements the training by improving strength, flexibility, and even skill. There are many fitness classes for runners.
Spinning is a good alternative to running because it's low impact. It reduces pressure on your joints and most importantly gives you a cardiovascular boost. A spinning class helps you become a better runner because it challenges all the muscles involved in running. It works your core, legs, and arms.
You need to start spinning classes because they prevent chances of getting injuries, they increase muscle balance, and also gives you mental strength to help you focus on your physical challenge.
"Strength work accomplishes three big goals for runner. It prevents injury by strengthening connective tissues and muscles; it helps you run faster with more coordination and power; and it improves running economy by encouraging stride efficiency," says Jason Fitzgerald, USATF-certified running coach, founder of Strength Running in Denver, Colorado. Some strength training includes too much cardio component to be effective for runners since the main goals are strength and power. Exercises like the plank with incorporated arm and leg raises, slo-mo mountain climbers, pushups etc. can be just as effective with your body weight as it can with adding an actual weight.
If you have weak glutes, then this can be one of the best fitness classes for you. Barre involves low impact and repetitive movements. It builds core stability and improves muscular endurance in the lower body. Barre classes take a lot from ballet, and it involves stretching out the muscles that are involved in running. You have nothing to worry about if you are new to this because there is no need for tap shoes or fancy footwork. In some barre classes, you may stick to using your bodyweight, and in others, you may use different apparatus like weights, balls, and bands. Consider this class in your in your race training to minimize your chances of injuries by stabilizing your muscles including your hips and lower body joints.
Pilates is a low-impact exercise that helps you concentrate your breathing when running. Including these classes in your running routine helps you strengthen your back. It also enables you to maintain a good running posture. Pilates works the hamstrings, glutes, middle, and upper back. It also increases your flexibility and mobility when running. You can do Pilates in the comfort of your home or the gym using a reformer machine.
If you are an avid runner or want to start adding it to your routine, consider including these fitness classes to your training. Spinning, Pilates, barre, and yoga are some class options to participate in to increase endurance in races. Monotonous routines are a time of the past. Mix it up and improve your running capabilities! Your muscles and body will thank you later. What are you waiting for? Start today and get ready to have a new running experience.

Two months back I start to learn #Python "Python is a #computer #programming #language ", you can say it grabbed me very quickly. I start to read some #sample #code from the net, then downloading the requirement and after 10 working days I was writing #codes in python and doing what I love 'Solving #mathematics puzzles with #python'.
So I decide to contribute in training or publishing python language by posting some codes block with explaining and comments, also by developing an application so we will learn on a real example.
and I will do the same here on my blog.
The coming posts will be about the application that we will start develop I will call it 'Expenditure App'.

Earlier today the PTR servers got patched and were available, and shortly after they were hit hard by fans eager to try out the many new additions.
As of writing, the servers are clustered with people trying to get on and take advantage of a wonderful PTR Buff they have going on that will grant players 300% bonus XP, 2000% bonus chance to find Legendaries, double goblin spawns, and double blood shards. These buffs are to facilitate easy leveling for players and help them along the way as they try out Season 2 and the new conquests.
The problem with all this is that it is near impossible to get in a room. Several of the PTR forums are filled with posts of fans upset over the queues, some report lasting more than three hours and rising. I found that the only way to get in a match is to ask someone in public chat to invite you and basically keep passing the buck if you are about to log out, ask if anyone wants into a seasonal or non seasonal room. Other than that, it is near impossible to get into a room which is quite disappointing with all the great features added.
Hopefully Blizzard will fix the issue over the next few days or at least extend the buff as it helps players really test the new aspects of the patch.

The point I am trying to make here is this: When you set a goal don't allow yourself option to back down because this is only way to reach a state of being dedicated and eventually reaching your goal. To build and maintain a successful home business you have to be in a state of dedication. This means that there is no such thing as failure and no way to back down from your decision.
E books, internet marketing courses, leads, ppc advertising, ezine and so on are tools you use to build you're home business. When you integrate those tools with your unrelenting desire to build a successful home business you become unstoppable. Then you become a powerful internet marketing machines.
So before going back to look for more leads, new ppc engines, classified adds, new software's and so forth….. Be honest and ask yourself: Am I dedicated to my home business? Am I willing to give it everything I've got without thinking of possibility of going back?

Treaty, Law, and Covenant in the Ancient Near East
In the corpus of Treaty, Law and Covenant in the Ancient Near East, Kenneth A. Kitchen and Paul J. N. Lawrence have collected the main witnesses of treaties, laws, and covenants in the pre-classical ANE from the last three millennia BCE. Even if it "is not intended to replace existing standard editions of any given group of texts here included" (xxii), its comprehensive focus goes well beyond previous collections and is therefore a significant contribution to scholarship.
Kitchen, a leading Egyptologist who after a prolific academic career hardly needs further presentation, explains in the introduction how this work has been in the preparation over half a century. It goes all the way back to G. E. Mendenhall's publications in The Biblical Archaeologist 17 (1954), 26–46, 50–76 (reprinted as a booklet in 1955 as The Law and Covenant in Israel and the Ancient Near East) where he argued for a structural parallel between the 14th/13th century Hittite treaties and the Sinai Covenant in the Book of Exodus. As Kitchen explains, it gave rise to some scholarly discussion. But the interest died off, "partly because the results clashed with long-held dogmas about the date and origins of the Hebrew covenant, partly because he had not done a sufficiently comprehensive and detailed study of either the Hebrew writings or the full range of Near Eastern documentation" (xx). It was then that Kitchen decided to undertake a comprehensive study of the entire field of relevant ANE source material. But it was not before a grant allowed Lawrence, a Near-East linguist, to be recruited for the project in 2003–5 that the project could be seen through to its publication.
With the publication in 1956 of the Neo-Assyrian treaties of Esarhaddon, dated to the 7th century, most scholars preferred dating biblical covenantal texts—especially the Covenant in the Book of Deuteronomy—relative to these treaties. While conservative scholars have tended to continue emphasizing parallels to the Hittite treaties, more critical scholars have emphasized parallels with the Neo-Assyrian treaties. Sound methodological controls have, however, often been wanting on both sides in the debate. The result is that the comparative studies have often been guided by a scholar's preconceptions and assumptions about the dating of the Torah. Whatever one's perspectives in regards to the dating of the Torah, the comprehensive scope of Treaty, Law and Covenant should be an aid for scholars in attaining sounder methodological controls in comparative studies. That said, it hopefully also opens news areas of studies so far neglected. The focus in Treaty, Law and Covenant is namely upon the ANE legal corpus itself, and not limited to the perspective of biblical studies. As Kitchen writes: "The emphasis was shifted away from centering on simply the biblical documents, and instead onto the entire Ancient Near Eastern corpus as a variegated whole in its own right, a fundamental point that should be constantly borne in mind by users" (xx–xxi).
The threefold distinction of treaty, law, and covenant in these volumes—and therefore the criteria upon which texts have been selected or left out—defines treaties as "used to govern relations (parity or vassals) between separate groups, or group(s) and/or a significant individual," laws as "a device for regulating conduct within a given society or social group," and covenants "used to define relations between individuals on the purely human level, or between individual(s) and deity" (xxii). Treaty, Law and Covenant "aims to collect and present the main basic documents on this threefold topic, and to study their history and interrelations through the last three millennia BC" (xix). This results in documents like CTH 46 and 47, which by scholars are called 'edicts' or 'limited treaties,' not being included among the documents despite their 'family resemblance' to treaties. At some point a demarcation line needs to be placed as to which documents are included and not, but this also illustrates how the genres of the texts might be somewhat fluid and therefore criteria for selection to a certain degree arbitrary.
Treaty, Law and Covenant sprung out of a study of the structures of ANE covenants. This explains why each component of a document is assigned a number and heading. These reflect what Kitchen and Lawrence see as 14 (they claim it is 15) possible components in the treaties, laws, and covenants: (1) Title/Preamble, (2) Prologue, Historical or other, (3) Stipulations or Laws, (4a) Deposit of the Document, (4b) Periodic Reading of Document to adherents of Parties, (5) Witnesses, (6b) Blessings, (6c) Curses, (7) Oath(s), (8) Solemn Ceremony, (9) Epilogue, (10) Additional Items, (11) Sanctions, (12) HRAF (Historical Report and/or Archaeological Flashback). Each is color-coded for use with the color-charts ('chromograms') visualizing the various structures of documents in the period at the end of vol. 2. This facilitates easy identification of a specific component in a given text, and also visually displays historical developments in the structure of treaties, laws, and covenants in the ANE.
The first volume includes 106 items in 10 languages. The documents are presented in transliteration with an English translation on the facing page. In contrast to a work like Context of Scripture that only offers English translations, the reader of Treaty, Law and Covenant is also able to work with a transliterated version of the original texts. While Martha Roth's Law Collections from Mesopotamia and Asia Minor also includes transliteration and translation of legal texts, Treaty, Law and Covenant includes more documents from a larger geographic circumference. In addition, the reader will find individual bibliographical introductions for the various documents presented, including sources, text editions, full translations, major extracts, and commentaries. Following a document is also a diagram of its format and content(s) intended as a textual key to the chromograms in vol. 2, part 3. Missing is an easier way to find a specific document on the basis of the assigned technical title given to the sources. It could have been consistently included either after the title of each document in the contents (as with e.g. CTH 138/1–CTH 140/1) or in a separate register. It would have made localizing a specific document easier. There are also some inconsistencies in fonts, like text no. 8 and 9A using a more unclear font, but in general the font used to display the text is very readable. Vol. 1 also includes Excursus I and II. Excursus I contains only English translations of texts, as transliteration in these cases was seen as superfluous since it is well presented beforehand or for other reasons. Excursus II provides a list of all the documents not included because they were not seen as belonging to the categories of treaty, law, or covenant, or because they are not currently available.
In the second volume the reader finds three parts. The first part consists of concise notes explaining choices made in the translation or useful background material to the respective texts in vol. 1. For more in-depth commentaries the reader is referred to the bibliographies. The second part includes topical indexes and longer notes addressing more general phenomena in content or format seen in groups of texts. The indexes include an alphabetic list of topics, statistical lists relating to prices, fines, and tributes, an index of deities referred to as witnesses in the blessings and curses, a list of blessings and curses in the documents, and notes on terminology found in the documents. These lists together with the readily available documents facilitate studies on specific areas in treaties, laws, and covenants for the entire period. This is, of course, very satisfying. Beside the chromograms mentioned above, the third part also has maps, but due to their graphics, they remain mainly useful for identifying the location of cities mentioned in the documents. Better maps should be sought for in other resources. Placing all this material in vol. 2 allows the reader to have both the primary texts and comments or other material open side by side at the same time.
Volume three is a chronological synthesis of the history of treaties, laws, and covenants in the ANE, with a differentiation of regional factors in a given period. This volume also has an excursus discussing form and functions in ANE legal texts. Kitchen's approach of diagramming the structure of ANE laws as a basis for dating the Torah is already known from his "The Patriarchal Age—Myth or History?" Biblical Archaeological Review 21, no. 2 (1995) and On the Reliability of the Old Testament (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 2003). In the latter, having compared the various ANE legal structures and with his typical frankness and Scottish wit, he writes: "Sinai and its two renewals—especially the version in Deuteronomy—belong squarely within phase V, within 1400–1200, and at no other date. The impartial and very extensive evidence (thirty Hittite-inspired documents and versions!) sets this matter beyond any further dispute. It is not my creation, it is inherent in the mass of original documents themselves, and so cannot be gainsaid, if the brute facts are to be respected" (287–88). And summarizing the question of who authored the Torah: "We would be obliged to invent a Moses if one were not already available" (312). As a result the biblical texts are placed, not where the scholarly majority would date them, but the Genesis stories are placed in the early 2nd millennium B.C. and the passages in Exod–2 Sam are placed among texts from the late 2nd/early 1st millennium BCE. Needless to say, these statements on dating are controversial. With the publication of Treaty, Law and Covenant at least one cannot accuse Kitchen and Lawrence for not having done their homework. The chromograms in vol. 2, 262–63 and 265 show a far closer affinity between the late 2nd millennium B.C. treaties and the Torah, than between the latter and early 1st millennium treaties. While form-critical studies have lately been somewhat discredited, on the basis of the structural development among ANE legal texts, the study of Kitchen and Lawrence strongly indicate an earlier dating of biblical material than is commonly accepted. It is of course possible to disagree with them, but their study cannot be easily dismissed or refuted by serious scholarship. With the lack of methodological controls in theories and speculations often proposed among scholars, Treaty, Law and Covenant will hopefully reawaken the debate after Mendenhall in the 1950s and create a more informed and sound discussion.
As mentioned, hopefully the discussion following the publication of Treaty, Law and Covenant will not be limited to questions of the dating of the Torah, but proceed to other issues as well. To mention one example, scholars like F. R. Kraus, J. J. Finkelstein, Raymond Westbrook, Shalom Paul, and Victor Hurowitz have shown that ANE laws in the 2nd millennium and earlier were not legal codes and stipulations as we understand modern law. Instead they are now rather seen as literary exercises, royal apologia, or judicial training texts. The question is then whether the definition of law in Treaty, Law and Covenant as laws as "a device for regulating conduct within a given society or social group," would need some modification. It is well known that the idea of subjecting and regulating all of society under law, even the king, was a Greek invention (cf. Martin Ostwald). The question is when did this come to influence Jewish thinking? Do we see this stipulative understanding of law already in the Josianic reforms of the 7th century (Raymond Westbrook), first in the Persian period with the reforms of Ezra and Nehemiah (Peter Frei), or only late in the Second Temple period during the Hellenistic era (Michael LeFebvre). Unfortunately, Treaty, Law and Covenant does not include classical texts (except the demotic laws from Hermopolis (ca. 5th century BCE), a treaty between Hannibal of Carthage and Philip V of Macedon (215 BCE), and a treaty between Rome and Lycia (46 BCE). A study of concepts of law in the last few centuries BCE will therefore need to be complemented with other sources. Still, Treaty, Law and Covenant will help in understanding the background of legal thinking—which of course did not arise in a vacuum—during the Second Temple period. If it is demonstrated that the idea of stipulative law did not become influential in Israel before the Persian period, or possibly as late as the Hellenistic era, a combined study of legal thinking in the ANE and the classical period might help us better understand the intense legal discussions in texts like the DSS, the NT, and the Mishnah.
Overall, Treaty, Law and Covenant is a much welcomed resource. It should be part of every library specializing in ANE and biblical studies. For those working on ANE legal history and materials, it is difficult to overestimate the value of this work. As a basic resource, it offers quick and handy access and an overview of the relevant materials, pointing the reader in directions where they can find more in-depth commentaries and discussions on the respective documents.

Fabrizia Ramondino (1936–2008) was an Italian author who has many works "which includes and crosses the boundaries between poetry, novels, plays, travelogues, memoirs, confession, self-reflection, anthropological, cultural and linguistic comment" according to Adalgisa Giorgio, who has conducted research of Ramondino's life and works.

Ramondino's life
Fabrizia Ramondino was born in Naples in 1936 and moved to the island of Majorca that same year after her father was named Italian consul. She was raised on this small Spanish island until she was eight years old. For the rest of her life, she lived in different countries, including France, Germany, and Italy. Her travels also took her to China, Quebec, Australia and the Sahara. Ramondino spent many years in Naples which is the culture she relates to most in her writing. During her time in Naples, Ramondino volunteered as a teacher at the Associazione Risveglio Napoli school. She obtained a degree in languages at Naples Eastern University. She also worked as a French teacher at multiple state schools. She was a political and a social activist for Centro di Coordinamento Campano, "a small organisation of the new left which worked primarily with the urban unemployed and poor agricultural labourers". Ramondino gave birth to her first daughter in Naples. These different cultures that she has been faced with throughout her life shape and inspire every piece of Ramondino's work. In 1944, Ramondino returned to Naples. She lived in France from 1948 to 1950, then she returned to Naples. From 1954 to 1956, Ramondino lived in Germany. She returned to Italy, living in Naples and Rome before going back to Naples in 1960. She received a degree in languages from the Istituto Universitario Orientale. Between 1966 and 1984, she taught French. She left Naples for Itri after the earthquake in 1980.

In 1981, she published her first novel Althénopis. During the 1808s, she was a journalist for Il Mattino and other newspapers. Ramondino worked with Mario Martone on the 1992 film Morte di un matematico napoletano. Again with Martone, she wrote the 1994 play Terremoto con madre e figlia.

Ramondino was a finalist for the Grinzane Cavour Prize in 1999 for L'isola riflessa. She was awarded the Flaiano literary prize in 2000 and received the Pasolini Poetry Award for Per un sentiero chiaro in 2004.

She died in Gaeta at the age of 71.

Ramondino's writing

Ramondino is an author known to relate all of her writing through her experiences. Naples is the main culture that Ramondino absorbs into her writing. Not only does she have the setting of her novels and stories in Naples, but she "placed [herself] in the position of partial outsider(s) to the culture and languages". By doing so, she sets her work apart and allows herself to observe the "mores of the middle and upper bourgeoisie, with the class consciousness of a materialist"  and making her "an exile in her own homeland". This perspective that she has in her writing is demonstrated as she approaches the Neapolitan language also as an outsider. Ramondino "only occasionally inserts words of Neapolitan origin" into her work. She also often uses footnotes to help one understand these words. As Ramondino wraps her audience in this sense of looking in from the outside of culture in her readings. She intertwines them flawlessly into the culture of the cities her stories are set in.

Selected works
Her works include:
 Torie di patio  (1983)
 Star di casa (1991)
 In viaggio (1995)
 L'isola riflessa (1998)

Q: How can this be valid PHP code? And what can be done to avoid it? I checked my project wide error logs today and found a plethora of these notices:

"Undefined index: myVar in /myScript.php on line 3"

It took me ages to find the error. So here it is, condensed down to just 4 lines of code (originally it was a little bit more than that). I just did not see the semicolon!
if (isset($_POST['myVar']));
{
    echo $_POST['myVar'];
}

In other cases where things are prone to errors I have my ways. Like in this example where I falsly use "=" instead of "==":
if ($myVar = 5) {} // valid PHP but sooo wrong...
if (5 = $myVar) {} // parser error warns me of my own mistakes

So what could I have done better in above example to not let the semicolon thing happen?

A: To answer your direct question, this is a matter of either using an IDE that gives you better hints, or simply debugging better so it doesn't take you ages. You could also turn on error messages so you get an immediate error rather than having to check logs.
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Then use the error message hint to help isolate the problem. It said the error was on line 3 and that myVar was undefined, so you should really focus on line 3 or what is immediately before it and be looking as to why an undefined variable is being used.
I'm guessing after this situation, you'll notice the semi colon quicker.

A: You can improve your coding style.
The PSR-2 style does not allow putting the curly braces on a new line when using IF, they have to be on the same line as IF, separated with a space.
if (isset($_POST['myVar'])); {
    echo $_POST['myVar'];
}

And this looks a little bit more suspicious than your code. Still enough characters to confuse the searching eye, but you usually do not expect a semicolon between parentheses and curly braces of an IF statement.
Coding style is all about making errors look like errors and stand out prominently. While this one really is valid syntax, it would look strange enough to spot the error, because semicolons belong at the end of a line.
If you'd format your code automatically, you'd get your original code back, making you wonder why the curly brace went to the next line...

Q: byte & short in Java. How to use it correctly? As I know, there is good practice use int variables for arithmetical operations. Because, if we use "byte" or short JVM regardless cast it to int in arithmetical operations.
So, I want to ask, where programmers employ byte and short in Java.
P.S. Schildt in his book say that byte can be "useful when you're working with a stream of data from a network or file". But I can't find any example's.

A: You can use them to save memory, since int is 32-bit signed, byte is 8-bit signed and short is 16-bit signed. In cases where you have a large amount of these items, and you know the maximum value will fit in the data type you chose you're saving memory.
For example int test = 1; will still take up 32 bits of memory while it's contents would also fit in a byte

A: If you wanna change some data in binary file , maybe you need byte.
As a high-level language , memory useage is not a problem , best practice is
if you don't know what you should to use , just int , like tcp.

Marketing is always easiest when you're the genuine market leader.
You 'own' an entire category and define its rules. You're trusted and famous. You can even steal good ideas from your competitors with relative impunity.
In fact, only a seismic disruption in the market can throw you off your perch: a new technology, a dramatic change in market dynamics, a major shift in public mood.
Not long ago our client Intervet – the UK's dominant player in pet vaccines – faced two of those challenges simultaneously.
On the one hand, the debate about MMR was in full flow. Issues about human vaccination were adversely affecting the market for pet vaccines. Simultaneously, a number of corporate veterinary 'chains' were starting to emerge, shifting the criterion for vaccine selection from efficacy to price.
As Intervet's lead agency we were asked to respond, and developed a two-pronged strategy. First, we reinforced the Intervet brand to vets with a series of powerful, long copy press ads. These explained the issues authoritatively, reassuringly and emotively – just as you'd expect from a market leader.
Secondly, we helped vets – Intervet's customers – to communicate with their own clients, the pet owners; ultimately with a TV ad that generated some 32,000 additional vaccinations in the space of a month.
The first year the vet campaign ran, Intervet added nearly 7% in market share. But more importantly, the campaign undoubtedly saved many hundreds of animals' lives.
Not bad for a campaign developed in response to a crisis.

I hate this culture of pointing out the really obvious to people just to cover your back. It is getting worse and worse. At work we got a sticker on the coffee urn telling us hot water is hot. If they were less pc and just stuck a sticker on it saying 'Don't sue us if you are stupid enough to burn yourselves', I'd respect them more! But today's took the biscuit... I found this allergy advice inside a box of free range eggs I was using to make scrambled egg rolls for lunch.

The winners of the very first Robot Art Contest have been announced!
Andrew Conru, the founder of the social networking company FriendFinder Networks, hosted the contest to show that robots can have a creative side. There were two categories in the contest: Telerobotics, which is for robots that collaborate with humans, and Fully Automated painting robots.
The fourth place prize of $10,000 went to e-David, built by the University of Konstanz. It was submitted in the fully automated category.
The third place prize of $12,000 went to NoRAA from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, Italy. It was entered in the Fully Automated category.
"Extremely interesting and innovative work using robotics… I would definitely add one of these works to my personal collection," a judge wrote about the robot's work.
CloudPainter, a robot created by George Washington University, secured the second place prize of $18,000. It was submitted in the Telerobotics category.
"The painting feels unique in style and very painterly–not digital or robotic," a judge wrote about the robot's work.
And TAIDA, a robot created by National Taiwan University, won the grand prize of $30,000. It was submitted in the Fully Automated category.
"With TAIDA's 'Still Life,' we were particularly struck by the relative sophistication in the robot's color mixing," a judge wrote about the robot's work.

Top carper Simon Crow nets a huge common carp to really crow about!
ONE of Britain's most experienced carp anglers was 'crowing' about this catch... what a stunning big fish!
Simon Crow admires the stunning 53 lb 4 oz common carp, one of the UK's most admired fish.
TAGS: big carpcarpcommon carp
Simon Crow had a feeling something was going to happen at the mega tough Spitfire Pool in Norfolk – and the next morning banked the stunning Wood Common at 53 lb 4 oz.
The 48-year-old from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, explained: "Spitfire's been fishing really hard this year, mainly due to the amount of weed in there.
"It's such a rich water, the 12 residents in the one acre pool don't need to take bait.
"Nothing had been caught since last September, and the big two hadn't been out for two years.
"I did six nights a couple of weeks ago and I knew when I walked on the banks it was going to be hard. I wasn't surprised I blanked."
"We'd timed it right" – Simon Crow
Simon continued "This trip, however, it looked completely different.
"When I saw owner Rich Wilby we both said something was going to happen, and it did.
"Having spoken to previous captors of the Wood, they'd all told me they'd seen it prior to catching it.
"I'd only seen it once before when I filmed it one sunny day while I was up one of the trees a couple of years ago.
"Despite searching for it on every visit, it's surprising how these carp hide themselves away.
Spitfire is no easy lake – and the common carp Simon Crow tempted had eluded capture for two years.
"On this occasion I saw it in the back bay on my first circuit.
"My mate Chris Felton, who was fishing with me, managed to film it and we both knew we'd timed it right.
"The first rod I put out was in the back bay where I'd seen the Wood, opting for a single hookbait of a DNA Baits SLK Dumbbell Corker Wafter.
"The fish has a small mouth and as I tested the bait in the margins it looked perfect.
"I put no bait out at all, just the single, because I'd seen lots of uneaten bait in some of the margins from the lads who fished last week.
"All evening I was plagued by the swans touching my line as they grazed on weed between my rod and the hookbait."
Heavy thud and a big boil
Simon added: "They carried on feeding in the night and the following morning.
"So when I had a couple of bleeps at 9am, I casually strolled to the rod expecting to see one of them on my line again.
"This time, however, they were at the opposite end of the lake.
"I gently lifted the line wondering if I had a nuisance rudd on the end, only to be met with a heavy thud and a big boil over where my bait was.
"The fight didn't last long, and when I saw a massive common hit the surface I knew it was either the Wood or Long Common, and both weigh close to fifty.
"As the fish went into the net I actually thought I had the Long because it was so big.
"I then saw the tell-tale white tips of its fins… and let out a silent punch to the air.
Thumbs up for a very special capture – Simon Crow with the epic common carp ready to be photographed before being carefully returned.
"It's hard to tell anyone who's never fished Spitfire how hard it is," revealed Simon.
"It might be a small water but they just don't need to eat bait.
"What a special few minutes it was with one of the UK's most special carp," he concluded.
Simon Crow is the former editor of Carp Talk, the specialist weekly magazine which sadly closed last spring. He's currently a consultant for the brand Avid Carp.

The Natural State is a phrase that many Arkansans take to heart and The Spark Foundation is no different. The many national forests, parks, trails, and creeks allow us to participate in an active lifestyle, enjoy the outdoors, and join our neighbors for family-friendly activities.
A stone sign now marks the boundary of land purchased by Fayetteville to expand Gulley Park.
In 1989, Wade Colwell started the Cow Paddy Run in Gulley Park in Fayetteville, AR to fund the construction of paths and a gazebo for the community to enjoy. The race continued until the early 2000's raising money for the city's public schools. In 2011, two of The Spark Foundation board members, Max Mahler and Ben Putman, brought back the run after fond memories of their first 5Ks at the Cow Paddy Run in Gulley Park. The Cow Paddy Run is now hosted by The Spark Foundation every year and proceeds are donated to the Fayetteville Public Education Foundation.
Gulley Park is now a 27 acre park in the heart of Fayetteville, AR. The park has many amenities including: picnic areas, sand volleyball, a pavilion, 1.5 miles of trail, and a gazebo. After the expansion, Gulley Park will have 38 acres of land devoted to community use. Find the Gulley Park expansion plan here!
We are so proud of our community for coming together to further Fayetteville's family friendly atmosphere. Gulley Park is more than another park- it's a place for our community to gather for summer concerts, our children to have soccer practice, our friends to participate in training runs for our awesome half marathons, and for everyone to take a deep breath enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass and sound of running water through the creek.
HUGE thanks to our community for keeping Fayetteville happy and healthy!
Don't forget- you can find the Spark Foundation at the Gulley Park gazebo on the Friday before Spring Break for the annual Cow Paddy Run! Can't wait to see you there!
