Designed by Aaron Probyn exclusively for Habitat, the stunning Poise walnut/copper LED desk lamp combines solid stained wood with on-trend metal in copper finish.
Energy-efficient LED strip lighting is built into the lamp's adjustable arm, maintaining the integrity of the design's minimalist lines. The task lamp can be angled up and down, allowing you to direct light where required.
W60.5 x H35 x D18cm.
Walnut stained solid ash and metal.
Walnut and copper LED desk lamp is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 13.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lettice from Poise... a good name Moving to a new house, well 19 years old from a cottage of 360 summers, I was at a loss as to how to get the correct look. This lamp fits the bill perfectly, it is stylish, understated and has been much commented on. A happy choice and habitat is now my first port of call as I slowly get to grips with modern living. And what a happy experience this is proving to be.
Rated 4 out of 5 by barnhousebob from Good Looking Lamp This seemed fair value for an LED lamp and we are pleased with the purchase. Some reviews mention quality issues but none with ours. Before buying check the dimensions as it might not suit smaller desks/tables. Shame there is not a switch on the lamp itself rather than the cable.
Rated 5 out of 5 by FreeFred from Great lamp I bought this light for its looks to smarten up my home office and it certainly does, and the light is good too.

With the conclusion of the 30 years' Civil war in Sri Lanka, the world and the Sri Lankans, themselves have notified the emerging business opportunities in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka's economy is worth $81.32 billion as at records of 2016 and the country's per capital GDP is about $11,068.996. Throughout the past few years, Sri Lanka has showed a strong growth in the economy. According to the analysis of World Economic Outlook, Sri Lanka's real GDP growth is 4.7 and that is a good percentage among the Southeast Asian countries because, the average of Southeast Asia is 5.1.
Because of the open economic policies of Sri Lanka, investors, offshore business entities and the local business entities has a comfortable corporate environment, comparing to most of the countries in the globe.
Tourism, is one of the main targeted and rapidly developing industry in Sri Lanka. Every year, several thousands of tourists from varying locations visit the country to behold the major tourist attractions. The beaches, the heritage sites with the ancient interior of the country and resorts located in the country's mountainous regions as well as in different cultural locations has magnetized the tourists towards the island. So, the innovative business brains can make lots of profit from any business that caters to tourists.
As many countries, individuals and businesses discover more ways to make life easier with IT and its various applications, the demand is booming in Sri Lanka for professionals that offer IT related services such as database management, data and information security and so on. Sri Lanka is capable of providing the suitable work force for the requirement as the Sri Lankan youth is more in to the IT field. So, if an investor and businesses that operates under solid background in anything related to IT, can trade their skills for money in Sri Lanka.
Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of Sri Lanka's economy, with a 12.8% contribution to the country's GDP. The country produces and exports agricultural products like rubber, tea, coconuts and tobacco. So, someone with a keen interest in agriculture, can start cultivating tea, rubber, coconut palms and tobacco plant. There is no limit to the profit that can make from this business because, the businesses have both local and foreign markets to cater to.
With new buildings and facilities being constructed in Sri Lanka, there is huge demand for the services of experts such as architects, structural engineers, electrical engineers and other professionals. So, if a resourced person with the background in any of these specialties, can make lots of profit in Sri Lanka by demonstrating the skills and expertise.
Sri Lanka is among the top apparel-producing countries in the world relative to its population. Currently Sri Lanka is exporting apparel to various countries like United States, The United Kingdom, India, Germany, Italy and etc. If an investor or a manufacturer with competencies to maintain the quality and the necessary capital this will be a great opportunity for massive profit gains.
This business sells well in virtually every country, even in countries with harsh business climates. In Sri Lanka, there is more favorable market for the service providers that can offer land and housing property for lease and for sale to individuals and businesses.
While setting up a refinery in Sri Lanka would require a capital much higher than what the average individual investor can afford but, this would be a very smart business move for corporate investors. As an individual investor, however, can still tap from the "juice" in the petroleum industry by selling petroleum products to consumers.
The demand for food in Sri Lanka is much more than the supply by local farms. This has necessitated the importance of importing foodstuff from neighboring countries. In fact, foodstuff is one of the most largely imported commodities in Sri Lanka. There are huge opportunities for investors who import food from neighboring countries and sell them locally in Sri Lanka. This business is easy to start, as it usually requires little capital.
With increasing health awareness among Sri Lankans, Pharmaceuticals has become a booming corporate opportunity for businesses. In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry in the country has grown tremendously. If a business or an entrepreneur have enough capital to set up a pharmaceutical company, it will be a great opportunity to make lots of profit in the long term. But if your capital is low, you can start small by buying pharmaceutical products as a wholesaler or retailer and selling to consumers.
Textiles and fabrics are imported into Sri Lanka due to the huge demand for these products. As an investor, you too can start a business that imports these products from countries like India and Turkey and sell them in the local market.

Thaw out your Frozen Shoulder!
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterised by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over time and then resolve, usually within one to three years.
Most frozen shoulder treatment involves controlling shoulder pain and preserving as much range of motion in the shoulder as possible. In severe cases, your doctor may also recommend surgical and other procedures.
Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with frozen shoulder. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe stronger pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory drugs.
A physical therapist can teach you range-of-motion exercises to help recover as much mobility in your shoulder as possible. Your commitment to doing these exercises is important to optimise recovery of your mobility.
Here at Pilates Connection, we are currently helping treat a number of clients with Frozen Shoulder, via specific routines designed to stretch both the posterior and anterior muscles of the shoulder, as well as doing range of motion and shoulder strengthening exercises. Regular Structural Integration (KMI) sessions can also help improve shoulder mobility and associated pain caused by Frozen Shoulder.
If you've had an injury that makes it difficult to move your shoulder, or think you may be in the early stages of Frozen Shoulder, talk to us about exercises you can do to maintain the range of motion in your shoulder joint.

This is a terrible idea and I know it.
So here's the deal. This is a Jester game, with one additional twist.
If you join this game, you will not be told your alignment, role, or win condition. Instead, you just name one player every night and I work out behind the scenes what you actually do.
I will neither confirm nor deny whether I will actually plan out actions ahead of time or just pick them from a random list. If you get an investigation result, it may be from something you did or it may be a consequence of something that somebody else did. Who knows! Only me.
There will still be day phases for voting and shenanigans. Lynching people will probably help with somebody's win condition, maybe even yours. Do what you want.
To reiterate, this is a terrible idea and I know it. At least I won't have to spend much time on role descriptions.
If you're willing to participate in this madness, sign up below.
2. a52 - Lynched D6.
3. Reyweld - Lynched D3.
4. Mirdini - Lynched D4.
5. Pharmacy - Died N2.
7. Granolaman - Lynched D1.
11. CSJ - Lynched D5 by decree of Glorious Leader Paranoia.
EDIT: There are some basic rules for players to follow. Most general Mafia rules aren't really applicable to this particular game, but a few are.
1. Do not post at night. This game's going to be confusing enough already.
2. Do not communicate with others about the game outside of the thread. Not that it makes a huge difference in this game, given you have very little (if any) unique information, but it's a good habit to get into for others.
3. Do not edit your posts! Make a second post if you need to correct something. Again, this doesn't matter as much in this particular game, but it's only polite to make sure people can rely on you not changing your story. And it helps you get into the habit.
4. If you have questions, post them in your Quicktopic rather than sending me a forum PM, just for the sake of keeping my inbox clear. You can also direct message me on Discord if you need to.
5. Be respectful to others and don't break any of the rules of the forum.
I'd be in. This seems less stressful.
There is no way this is going to work.
I wish to sign up.
In as lucky number 16.
I just signed up for two of these but I mean here I go, signing up!
Hello I am ready for ??????
Going to try to devise the actual setup tomorrow. The game will begin soon after.
Good luck to everyone who volunteered for this mess.
Okay, I have a nice chaotic setup put together now, and I think I caught and ruled on all the weird edge cases, but I'm sure you people will find a way to prove me wrong.
I'll see if I can kick off this game tomorrow.

Q: outputted data to 6 decimal places I'm using an exif reader to extract geo data from a photograph:data.latitude = Number(exif.getTagDescription('GPSLatitude'));I would like the answer to 6 decimal places, so that the output in the console reads 52.629147 instead of 52.62914722222222. Please tell me how to do this?
My question is different to Round to at most 2 decimal places in JavaScript
 because as a newby this question is not in the context of extracting integers - represented as values - from external media; rather it is just simple numbers.

A: Use toFixed(n)
(10/3)

*

*3.3333333333333335

(10/3).toFixed(4)

*

*"3.3333"

This gets you a string, so you may need to convert it back.
Number((10/3).toFixed(4))

*

*3.3333

A: I have created the function below for you.
function roundMyNumber(n) {
    return n.toString().indexOf(".") != -1 ? n.toFixed(6) : n;
}

Take a look this Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/9a7oxgek/1/
I hope it's helps.

The process of evaporating metals to bond them into the best form and come up with a standard layer is called vacuum metalizing. The name vacuum metalizing emanates from the fact that it takes place in a vacuum chamber. Vacuum metalizing is applicable in many industries which are involved in the following activities; forming alloys, plating, appropriate finishing, and coating of the light reflectors. Vacuum metalizing takes place in several stages to ensure that aluminum is perfectly bonded to form a uniform layer and these processes include; tooling, loading, base coating and top coating processes.
Vacuum metalizing began like a simple industry, but as the years have gone by, it has developed into large industry. Earlier on, vacuum metalizing was developed to make the interior fittings and decorative features of vehicle dashboards, head lights and arm supports. With the growth of the automobile industry, the vacuum metalizing industry has also grown into a bigger and better one in the sense that it has enabled proper metal finishing as well as making them be long-lasting. The metalizing process has, therefore, gained more in the market over electroplating because it assures the metal users of good health and it is cost-effective and more durable.
Vacuum metalizing is beneficial to the users in the sense that it gives the products the luster and the polish that they desire without posing threats to their health. Other processes like chrome plating is effective, but it places the users at a hazardous risk since Chromium is very carcinogenic as it is mixed with cyanide. Many automobile industries are preferring to choose the vacuum metalizing process because it uses better and updated technology. The method has developed over the years as a result of having many industries using it.
Vacuum metalizing or coating is beneficial in the sense that it boosts the barrier properties of a particular surface in a much better manner than any other process. This method is the best process to protect the metallic surface from contacting the water or moisture which triggers rusting. The moment the metal is kept safe from water, no rusting occurs, and therefore it assures the user of long-term services even in the toughest situations. Vacuum metalizing ensures that the metal lasts for a considerably longer time than the other surfacing methods.
For an automobile industry willing to boost the sales, it is supposed to incorporate this process for some specific reasons. People are impressed by the general looks of the metals that you are selling, and this helps them to make purchasing decisions. The metalizing process produces classic products that are preferred by the buyers since they have outstanding features. When the buyers approach your business, then you tend to make more sales and therefore earn more profits.


Cubiks 360 is a highly flexible online feedback tool that provides employers with a framework for identifying the strengths and development needs of their employees.
Available in 90, 180, 270 and 360 degree formats; Cubiks 360 combines multiple perspectives on an individual's performance to provide them with a balanced overview of their strengths and their areas for improvement.
In the past, 360 processes have been perceived as requiring significant time investment. When reviewers find them time consuming or repetitive, this can affect the quality of their input. Our innovative 'Cubiks 360 Matrix' functionality solves this problem. By allowing individuals to complete multiple reviews in a single sitting, it dramatically reduces time spent filling in questionnaires.
360-S (Scale) adopts a conventional scale approach, allowing reviewers to rate an individual against the most relevant competencies. Reviewees can see how they have been scored on each competency and how each different reviewer group has rated them.
360-I (Ipsative) uses an innovative format that 'forces' people to indicate which competencies are considered strengths and which ones are perceived as development areas. As a result, reviewees are presented with a ranking of highest to lowest evaluated competencies, helping them clearly identify their strengths and development priorities.
As the people set to carve the future path of your organisation, your leaders are of huge value. For this reason we know you'll want to ensure they can grow in their roles. Our R&D team and IT developers are busy working on Cubiks Leadership 360; a brand new, levelled, online feedback tool designed specifically to identify the strengths and development needs of leaders.


Just about the time this post goes live, Keith and I will be dancing in the crowd at Stubb's, watching Fitz and the Tantrums perform. It's been sold out for a while or I'd have put one of their songs on the blog sooner to alert any fellow Austinites (sorry). Anyway, this band has a ton of good songs, pretty much all high-energy, so we're looking forward to a really fun show... except it's going to be insanely hot.


With a nautical theme for a coastal wedding, these custom belly band wedding invitations feature a navy blue sailboat and border with turquoise accents. The coordinating RSVP card includes a navy sailors knot and the accommodations card a ship wheel. All three stacked cards were wrapped with belly band featuring navy ropes and anchor along with turquoise initials and wedding date.


As I soaked in the sights of this incredible new country on the drive from Mumbai's airport, my head was a flurry of questions. Who was everyone honking at? Was the guy in a dress shirt who stopped and interrogated us on the back-road a real cop? Why was everyone sleeping on the fruit stands? And seriously, what was up with the honking?
Nandita has answers for "what" and "how," but consistently furrows her brow every time I come to "why." In a place with such a multiplicity of narratives, she tells me, "why" isn't really a question one asks. Things just are.
After a few days here I've relaxed into a quiet observation that allows for this kind of unquestioning acceptance. I wander for hours through twisting streets that take me past garbage heaps leading to gorgeous perfumed gardens on pathways that appear and disappear with a logic of their own. After crossing a stretch of beach I arrive at a massive octagonal structure filled with pigeons and seeds, a sign attributing its presence to the Lodha Charitable Trust. Is Lodha trying to keep the pigeon population confined to this area of beach? Or does he just really like pigeons? Maybe he's a Jain? These questions melt into a silent and goofy smile as I step back and observe this massive birdfeeder. Whatever the reason, it's here in front of me now…and how weird and awesome is that?!
Nandita and I picked "Kashmir," and everything else seemed to pick us after that. An organization running orphanages for girls affected by armed conflict has invited us to conduct a theatre project at one of their centers near Srinagar. Their level of support and hospitality has been incredible—even before our arrival in Kashmir they are on the phones with us constantly, sorting our travel and putting us in touch with some of the center's older girls who are studying in Pune so that we can stay with them and discuss our ideas for the piece.
The girls tell us that based on their backgrounds, the theme of ex-combatants should come fairly organically and will be relevant and worth exploring. Nandu and I brainstorm side-projects and the issue of access comes up. If we reach out to combatants and ex-combatants in Srinagar, she counsels, we should stick to female fighters. This is purely for practical reasons, given who we are and where we are going. I smile inwardly and realize I've managed 9 months on this project without really having to grapple with the subject of gender. Strangely, this "restricted access," the technical narrowing of our scope, doesn't feel like a restraint or limit. I'm not too hung up on 'why' we'll be working with women instead of men. Yesterday I was looking at an octagon full of birdfeed. Today I'm looking at sleeves in the sun, unparalleled hospitality, and the female perspective on conflict. That's what is; that's what's here in front of me. Awesome.

Nous les zinzins!
In one of his rare excursions into family photography, grand-père took a series of photos in Maman's room at La Clinique des Agustines in Malestroit the evening of August 28. Charlie was a few hours old.
1995 was already more than half over when Charlie arrived, but the whole year was softened and warmed by his arrival. From the moment Marie-Hélène deduced that she was "enceinte," something special was in the air.
Another lovely shot in that series. Proud parents, relieved parents.
She kept a family diary throughout our years together, with vacations and day trips and children's visits detailed most of the time. Early in 1995, one of the first entries in that year's diary, in January, is two lists of names, one a list of boy's names, and one a list of girl's names.
I was not aware of these early lists, which at six or seven names each were not long, but the three names that Charles was given, and that I had the mistaken impression that I helped choose months later, were on that list of boys' names!
We all spent a week at the beginning of August in St Malo, at the Hotel de France et de Chateaubriand. This was our lunch in a square "intra muros" one day there. Eight months pregnant!
The hard part was that throughout the year, our blending family was unfortunately still the subject of a fair amount of animosity from both Pierre, Daphné and Alban's father, and Sunshine, Nick and Tom's mother.
Sunshine expressed her not necessarily favorable opinions on our new family with some regularity to Nick and Tom. Pierre contented himself with pleading poverty in response to Marie-Hélène's suit for modest child support, which she started when he repeatedly professed to never have enough to help. But he too expressed his anger to and through his children, if less directly and often than Sunshine. "Scandale de Pierre dans la rue devant les enfants," wrote Marie-Hélène in the diary in March. "Pierre made a scene on the street in front of the children." The diary entry gave more detail, but you get the idea.
Preparing the food for Daphné's birthday party at La Grée: cluttered, interesting objects dotted around, the perfect holiday cottage. The stairs up to the bedrooms are behind Daphné.
More troubling for all three, Marie-Hélène, Daphné and Alban, were missed appointments when Pierre didn't show up as scheduled, and his increasing tendency over the year to put them up at a former girlfriend's house in St Germain rather than at the apartment he had shared with their maman in Paris.
Each other parent regularly "lost" items of the children's clothing, typically more expensive items. Neither demonstrated much flexibility in terms of arrangements for vacations and the like. At times, we both had the strange feeling that they were acting in unison.
The moment of truth at the party, blowing out the candles on the cake and pie! Daphné was kind enough to let Nick participate.
As we were in a contested child custody proceeding, Nick and Tom's summer holiday time with each of their mother and me was determined by the court. They were with Sunshine in July, and at the end of the month I left La Grée where we were spending the summer to pick them up at her place in Paris. We made it back to La Grée on the afternoon of Daphné's birthday, right before when her birthday party had been planned. Nick had spent his birthday four days earlier with his mother, at the end of their summer vacation together. Daphné was a good sport, and let us call it a joint party at La Grée.
Back at Le Tahu in September, Alban blew out his candles at his birthday party.
Pierre and Marie-Hélène made their own arrangements without court interference. He took Daphné and Alban with him for their summer vacation for a couple of weeks in August. So the four children did not spend a lot of the summer together that year. Somehow, it didn't matter.
For one thing, they all spent a lot of time at La Grée. France is blessed with frequent vacations, and we took advantage of most of them to drive out to La Grée for a week or ten days in February and April as well as for the extended stay during the summer. Grand-père had retired to this charming stone cottage in Brittany, and it became our home away from home. I even had a separate phone line installed there, to facilitate faxes, then still the principal mode of professional communication.
One month later, in October, it was Tom's turn to blow out his candles in Le Tahu.
For another, the children were getting along well. The happy accident of their closeness in age (Daphné and Nick are a year apart and Alban and Tom only three weeks) was bearing fruit. Nick and Tom had already attended the school in Hermeray from January 1994, and so had a bit of a head start on Daphné and Alban when they arrived in August. As 1995 progressed, this head start dissipated, and all of the children were finding their own friends and inviting and being invited to parties.
From what appeared to be an early age, the centerpiece of each of our children's lives has been their friends.
Nick and Daphné in costume for the Hermeray school fete in June 1995. I think that they are with Madame Vidal, their headmistress, but it's hard to tell because she too is in costume.
Their school where they made these first friends together, l'Ecole de Hermeray, was a quaint little village school of the old style. In the US, it would have been closed years before and the children bused to a large school in the nearest town with children from all the surrounding villages. More efficient, certainly, but lacking a certain sense of community. Community was what our children needed, and rural life in Hermeray, and then in neighboring St. Hilarion (where they remained at the same school), gave it to them.
The children were happy there. All the conflicts around them did manifest themselves in their schoolwork, at least that's the way it seemed to me, but they were still young, with plenty of time to recover.
The children's athletic interest at Le Tahu was principally judo, with weekly classes and occasional competitions. This was our first taste of modern parenting, as in "spending your weekends watching young athletes at play," not forgetting driving them to practice and tournaments in local towns.
On our first trip to Disneyland with Charles, in September 1995. Everyone wanted to push his pushchair!
They also enjoyed bicycling through la Forêt de Rambouillet, the national forest that surrounded us. At least we could, and did, join in on these rides. Well, some of us did. Others felt that too much physical exertion could have adverse consequences. They would meet up with us after the ride in a cafe in Rambouillet!
We did the weekly shopping about twice a week at Carrefour, the local hypermarket in Rambouillet, where for some reason we always seemed to have lots of fun. After WalMart, Carrefour is the world's second largest retailer. Lunch on those shopping days was at Flunch, French fast food with an anglicized name.
Goofy, called "Dingo" in French, wished us all well during the same visit.
I continued working from home during the year, as the advantages of the PC were becoming clearer. With the Delrina WinFax Pro program installed, I could even convert faxes into text using the built-in OCR application and work on them pre-typed, as it were. Now that was a labor-saving device for a two-finger typist!
1995 was a good year for work, and the first year that the possibilities of these new technologies became evident. No more being chained to a desk! I worked at home, at La Grée and even in my client's offices, wherever they happened to be. They liked the convenience as much as I.
During an earlier visit to Disneyland for grandma's 68th birthday, we dined in the California Grill, and Nick earned himself a bisou from Marie-Hélène.
Grandma was less present in person during 1995, which was a bad year for her in terms of her visibly deteriorating health. She only made it to France once during the course of the year, for her birthday in January. We all stayed with her and her friend Kay on that occasion at Disneyland. She did not have the strength to visit us again, although she tried to find a way several times during the course of the year.
Nick, Tom and I paid her a visit in August, when Marie-Hélène was too far along in the pregnancy to travel that far and Daphné and Alban were with Pierre. She tried hard, but we were a bit too much for her, even after she put us up in hotels rather than her home so that we (read the children) were not all over her.
In retrospect, I'm of course delighted that we did persist in visiting, even after her health made the visits more difficult. She was not long for this world.
Peek a boo, little guy!
The annual passports that she had offered us to Disneyland offered us all joy all year long. Disneyland was where the children could always be children, whatever was happening around them, and they loved it there. Charlie's first visit was when he was 16 days old, just to get him juiced in it.
Back to the theme of the year, Charlie's arrival, at La Clinique des Augustines in Malestroit. Daphné had been born there eight years before. The Augustines are a relatively small order of Catholic nuns, and their clinic was founded in 1929.
Two months old, and smiling into his dad's eyes: instant melt!
The nuns' Mother Superior during World War 2, Mère Yvonne-Aimeé, was honored by Général de Gaulle for her services to the Resistance, in particular for sheltering British airmen. She was doing this before the American presence in the war was really felt, and thus before the Liberation of France could be realistically perceived. She was doing this at the same time as her clinic was caring for German wounded, at the request of the occupying army. The nuns were caring for English airmen and German soldiers on the same property at the same time! Their Mother Superior explained after the war that their mission was taking care of the sick, whoever they were. All the nuns risked being shot at any time an Allied airman or a member of the French Resistance was found on their property. This is the kind of courage in religion that makes it easy to have faith!
De Gaulle also honored all of Brittany for its peoples' efforts on behalf of the Resistance, in a very practical way. He promised them that they would never have to pay to use the new turnpikes that France was building in Brittany. So now when you arrive in Brittany from the rest of France, the paying autoroute turns into a free autoroute at the border. Too few know why.
Not a bad place to be born.

Midlife Bloggers Find Ways to Connect
Judy Freedman
I attended my first blogger conference eight years ago. I was a newbie blogger and one of only a dozen or so bloggers in the audience who was nearly 50. I was welcomed among crowds of "mommy bloggers" with babies in tow. Despite our age difference, I was smitten with the blogosphere. There was an energy, a vibe, a camaraderie. The only thing that was missing was my boomer tribe.
Bloggers at Midlife Conference
Fast forward to March 2015. Now, I'm excited to say that the blogosphere is filled with thousands of female boomer voices who are reinventing their life after 50 and sharing their journey online. I joined up with 100 of these super-talented women last weekend at the first-ever BAM: Bloggers at Midlife Conference at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tenn. The conference was organized by Sharon Greenthal and Anne Parris from Midlife Boulevard, and their cohorts, Teresa Kindred, of Nanahood, and Beth Rosen from ChicagonistaLIVE.
Rockin' Older Girls' Network
After spending the past few years growing friendships on social media (a Facebook group includes 1,100 midlife bloggers, thanks to the efforts of Sharon and Anne), it felt like a class reunion when 100 of us got together in Nashville.
We chatted about our second careers as writers. Several spoke of books they had published, agents they had signed with and novels being edited. We showed great compassion for those who suffered through loss or illness: breast cancer, divorce, widowhood, parents with dementia and Alzheimer's, and other disabilities. We celebrated our midlife successes: children off to college and work, children getting married, grandparenthood, 25+ wedding anniversaries, travel adventures and many individual transformations.
"This has been a dream slumber party," said Teresa. "Anybody who thinks older women cannot rock it—they are not here." (We all cheered, especially since we were the lucky ones to make it through the bad snowstorm that kept other blogger friends stuck at home due to canceled flights.)
A Community of Collaboration and Connection
Many speakers connected with inspiring advice to help midlife women conquer their fears:
Elisa Camahort Page, who started BlogHer when she was 41, said: "Don't not take a risk because you are afraid to fail. Ask yourself what's the worst that can happen? Make your fear concrete, not abstract. Nine times out of 10 it's not as bad as you think."
Danyelle Little of The Cubicle Chick, who had a child at 18, said: "I had roadblocks. It fueled me to go forward. It took years for me to go through college. My son didn't know we were poor or cared that we were eating spaghetti every day. My son is now in college."
Elaine Ambrose at Midlife Cabernet spoke about getting published online and in print: "Keep writing. Get a finger puppet and transfer your worries there." (I always buy finger puppets for new baby gifts. Think I will purchase one for myself.)
Debbie Bookstaber of Element Associates reminded: "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." (I do this often. How about you?)
Wendy Walker Cushing, a DIY blogger at Wendys Hat, urged: "Be your beautiful self and you will not believe what you can create in life."
Martie Duncan, The Food Network Star and blogger, who drove all night to audition for The Food Network Star and won after cooking her food at a firehouse, encouraged: "We're all at that phase of life where we are transitioning. Let's don't go quietly. Kick the door down. Ain't nobody gonna tell me what I can't do."
Pamela Lutrell from Over 50 Feeling 40 said: "I'm small with a big voice. Fake it till you make it." (Pamela features a weekly column on her blog called "I Matter," showcasing how women of a certain age make a difference.)
Kymberly Williams-Evans and Alexandra Williams, blogging sisters at Fun and Fit, empowered small bloggers to: "Be proud of your 2,000 readers. In making a sale, 10 out of 100 is the same as 10 out of 10,000. Your readers trust you."
Heartwarming Midlife Hugs and Emotions
The conference closed on a powerful high. There were hugs from the heart as our virtual friends became real-life, in-person friends during the best-ever, first-ever gathering of Bloggers at Midlife.
"How do you know you are at midlife?" asked one of the attendees shortly before the last panel ended.
"If you don't think you are old yet, you are at midlife," said Sharon. No one argued with the answer.
Ooh, ooh, ooh. I have to add one last thing. It's about you. Yes, you dear readers. For there would be no Bloggers at Midlife if there were no brave and adventurous midlife women out there willing to read our work and comment on our stories.
As Sharon said: "It's about connecting with people on an emotional level. What we're saying makes a difference. When I hear a reader say, 'You just said exactly what I am thinking,' it makes all the difference."
Special thanks to my readers. Your community means the world to me.

Romney's election night will be in Boston
CNN Political Unit
(CNN) - Mitt Romney will gather with supporters on election night in Boston, his campaign said Tuesday.
The Republican presidential nominee's election night event will take place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, according to the campaign.

The 2.1 million square foot facility has several halls and ballrooms and is billed as the largest convention center in New England.
Romney was formerly governor of Massachusetts and lives in Belmont, Mass.
Earlier this month, Obama's campaign said his election night events would be held in Chicago's McCormick Place.

SUMMARIZING RAW MONEY: "There is no logical connection between the before and after policies except Romney's consistent ambition and willingness to say whatever is necessary at any given juncture to achieve the presidency. He seemed confused at times trying to explain the contradictions" (John Avlon, CNN, 23 October)

Why ??he s going to lose big in Massachusetts ,and then the gop train wreck continues !!!!!

Considering that Massachusetts is a Democrat stronghold, I doubt there will be many Bostonians lined up for tickets. Great news for the Boston economy though as the out-of-town Repugs show up to support their losing candidate. Hold your noses Bostonians and collect those Repug trickle down dollars. The bars should do particularly well as the Repugs drown their sorrows when OBAMA WINS.
he,ll go from boston to the cayman islands

In a state that he ran but won't come close to winning in November??? Is that a good choice? Maybe he should spend election night in the state where he grew up and his father ran. Wait, he's not going to carry that home state either. OK, maybe he should spend election night in the state where he has a vacation home (you know, the one with the car elevator). Oh no, he's not going to win that state either. Maybe he should go to the state where he has his other vacation home. I think the polls still consider New Hampshire a toss up state so he should spend the night in a state that at least has a sliver of a chance of winning.
What does that say about a candidate when the people in states that know him best aren't planning to vote for him? Think about that for a bit.
fayse
I have a close relative who has been living in Mass. for nearly thirty years and, from what I am hearing, they don't like him very much there. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses not only his birth State of Michigan but Mass as well. I also believe that he will lose Wisconscin (Ryan's home State).
Why not France ?

Wow ! Mitt Romney will be in Boston on election night ! I think Mitt is trying in vain to bribe the wonderful bostonians but not this time. Boston will be in the BLUE column this year.
get out and early vote or we might end up with this clown Forward.

Good for Boston, they can run Mr. Romney and his clan out of town for a second time.
Bob in Boston
How humiliating for Romney - his own home state strongly supports President Obama. And for good reason. The four years we had this snake oil salesman as our governor were more than enough. Romeny was so unsuccessful and unpopular during his only term that polls showed he could never be re-elected, so he didn't even try.
A state he won't win. Maybe he should hang out in the Caymens with his cash.
Woman In California
You meant to say his concession speech didn't you? There will be no need for him to have that much space for a few lines of regret. MA doesn't want any part of him and neither do I.
Good bye Corn Flake. You are too unstable to lead this country.
v_mag
Interesting that he is picking a state that he will surely lose as the place to hold his election night wake. He doesn't drink (even coffee), so how will he drown his sorrows? Milk? Can you drink enough milk to make you feel better? How about Kool Aid...
I guess Boston is as good a place as any to concede defeat on November 6. At least he will be close to him lakefront home in New Hampshire. Maybe he can go for a boat ride the next day to reflect on is folly. As of today, Romeny has a 29.7% chance of winning the general.
Al-NY,NY
He's going to lose both his "home" states....unprecidented

After the endorsement he gave to our President he might as well do it on his way to his mansion in Cali – the one with the car elevator.

Homemade Cronuts are easy and so tasty!
First your going to heat up the canola oil in a sauce pan or in your deep fryer. While your waiting for that, you open the crescent rolls and flatten them out in double layers. Using biscuit cutters you want to make 3 inch round holes, and then smaller 1 inch ones inside the large ones.
In a medium bowl, mix 3 cups of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and then add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a smooth, glaze-like consistency forms.
Cut the donut in half and add the vanilla pudding then top with powdered sugar combination!!!

Il programma dell'universo è un saggio scientifico scritto da Seth Lloyd,
docente di Meccanica presso il MIT,
pubblicato inizialmente nel 2006.

Lo scopo del libro, secondo Lloyd, è di "mostrare il ruolo fondamentale che l'informazione gioca nell'universo... ... Tramite la comprensione di come esso elabori se stesso, noi possiamo capirlo nel suo complesso".

In esso l'autore espone la storia dell'unità informativa, il bit, e dell'Universo inteso come computer quantistico virtualmente illimitato che non ha mai cessato, fin dalla sua origine, di elaborare se stesso e la sua evoluzione con una potenza di calcolo stimata essere, allo stato attuale, di circa 10^105 operazioni quantistiche al secondo cioè basate sul contenuto informativo registrato tramite bit quantistici o Q-bit.

Dato che i q-bit possono registrare due stati logici (0 e 1) contemporaneamente già con pochi q-bit a disposizione un elaboratore quantistico ha una potenza di calcolo incommensurabile rispetto ad un suo concorrente dotato di circuiti basati sulla tradizionale tecnologia dei microprocessori nei quali i bit registrano solo gli stati 0 oppure 1.

Struttura dell'opera
 I. Introduzione
 II. Calcolare
 III. L'universo computazionale
 IV. L'informazione e i sistemi fisici
 V. La meccanica quantistica
 VI. Gli atomi al lavoro
 VII. Il computer universale
 VIII Complessità semplificata

L'Universo ha iniziato elaborando strutture semplici, ma con il passare del tempo ha sviluppato oggetti sempre più complessi: pianeti, stelle, galassie ed anche le strutture viventi.
Il tutto in modo spontaneo, secondo le leggi della fisica che esso stesso aveva elaborato, dalle più semplici a quelle più complesse di oggi.

Fornendo una panoramica di come il contenuto informativo si sia evoluto nel tempo fino a come si presenta oggi, Lloyd dà un ulteriore contributo sull'argomento rispetto ai precedenti libri destinati ai profani poiché apporta informazioni che provengono da recenti esperimenti e da sue esperienze dirette.

L'autore infatti è uno dei pionieri coinvolti negli studi teorici, e successive realizzazioni, dei primi prototipi di computer quantistici presso il MIT di Boston fin dal 1994 dove le sue ricerche si sono subito focalizzate nel campo del contenuto informativo dei sistemi complessi, specialmente i sistemi quantistici, riprendendo le idee originali di Richard Feynman.

Questi, già nel 1982, dalla sovrapposizione di stati che si ritenevano associati alle particelle elementari, aveva ipotizzato di sfruttare le caratteristiche peculiari della quanto-meccanica per realizzare computer avanzatissimi.

Ritenendo di aver individuato analogie di funzionamento tra i circuiti creati in laboratorio e le strutture più o meno estese presenti nell'intero Universo conosciuto, Lloyd ha quindi estrapolato su queste i concetti teorici già sviluppati in laboratorio.

Ogni cosa presente oggi sarebbe conseguenza della proprietà intrinseca della materia di essere sede di informazione ed anche elaboratore della medesima, in scala atomica, dove i fenomeni quantistici e le loro stranezze sono la norma.

Dato che le leggi della fisica reggono l'universo, la conclusione di Lloyd è che tramite la comprensione di tali leggi potremo capire l'Universo medesimo.

L'Universo secondo la sua interpretazione è un computer quantistico che elabora conseguentemente le leggi della fisica operando sui bit di informazione registrati negli stati quantistici dei singoli atomi(spin, allineamenti, ecc).

Comprendere questo processo ci darebbe una migliore conoscenza del perché esso sia così complesso e potremmo anche esprimere previsioni circa il futuro delle cose, anche se solo in termini probabilistici, a causa del Principio di
Indeterminazione che comunque sta alla base della meccanica quantistica.

Una delle idee principali del libro è che informazione ed energia sono equivalenti.

Neither rocks nor minerals have been collected and returned from the surface of Mars. Our knowledge of its surficial composition is limited to Martian meteorites and geochemical analysis or rocks and minerals by spacecraft on the surface of Mars. The rocks and minerals displayed are believed to be the most common at this time.
On Mars, sulfur has not been identified in its native form and is instead a component of Martian soil and minerals. The soil on mars contains between 5 and 15 wt% sulfur. Minerals containing sulfur, such as gypsum, have also been identified on the Martian surface. These minerals are important to the geologic history of mars as they indicate the presence of liquid water on the surface. Although native sulfur has not been identified on mars, its history of volcanism increased the likelihood of its existence.
Hematite is one of the dominant components of the Martian soil. Hematite has not been identified as a primary mineral component within Martian rocks. It has been found as a secondary alteration mineral both within the weathering rind of rocks and also replacing primary minerals within rocks. Unusual spherical shaped hematite or 'blueberries' have also been identified on the Martian surface. They are about 4 mm in diameter and were identified in a Martian sedimentary sandstone by the Mars rover, Opportunity. Scientist believe iron and sulfate rich fluids moving through the sandstone chemical precipitate the blueberries within the rock. The identification of hematite on the surface of mars is important because it suggests the presence of water at the surface at some time during the planet's history.
On mars gypsum is a common component of the layered sedimentary deposits in the north and south poles as well as those found within canyons. A European satellite, OMEGA identified gypsum in Valles Marineris and within the layered deposits of the north pole. Mars rover, Opportunity, identified several evaporitic minerals including gypsum at its landing site in 2004. Gypsum fragments have also been identified within deposits on the Martian surface is important to reconstructing its geologic history. Evaporates indicate large bodies of water were once present on Mars and that they underwent period of evaporation to allow for evaporitic deposition.
Basalts are the most common material found on the Martian surface. On Mars, basalts compose the several shield volcanoes of the Tharsis bulge as well as the extensive lava plains on the surface.
Arenites found on mars are much different than those found n earth. On earth, quartz is a common mineral component of igneous rocks; however, quartz-rich igneous rocks have not been identified on the Martian surface. The most common igneous rock on Mars is basalt, whose common mineral components are plagioclase, olivine, and pyroxene. Since basalt is the most common rock exposed on the Martian surface, arenites likely have a basaltic composition. Like earth, both water and wind generated arenites exist on the Martian surface as identified by mars rover, Opportunity at its landing site.
Martian breccias are dominantly formed as a result of meteor impacts, although extrusive volcanic breccias also exist. Martian impact breccias form when an extraterrestrial rock impacts the surface of Mars and the rocks on the surface undergo fragmentation. These fragments, or clasts, are ejected from the newly formed crater and consolidates during or after the impact. Clasts within Martian breccias are composed of rock fragments. Since Mars' surface is dominantly composed of oxidized basalts, impacts on its surface has resulted in the formation of basaltic breccias.

As Richard is the 6th generation of a family of winemakers, he was involved in his father Antonio's business from an early age to then go on and study Agronomous Engineering at Madrid University and then cut his winemaking teeth primarily in Bordeaux. On return to Spain, while making most of his father's wines at Palacio de Bornos for some 15 years he was also the invisible winemaker behind many of the early Ruedas that put the region on the map (Marques de Grinon, Lurton and Telmo Rodriguez) while simultaneoulsy making his own wines as far afield as Valdeorras, Almansa, Toro, Ribera del Duero, Leon and Cebreros. He has also worked in Puglia. Richard the wine maker is the soul of the wines of Menade's winery. Well trained and prepared in Spain, France, Hungary and Chile, among others, he has an air of genius about him, always developing and devising new vinifications. He truly believes, quite strongly, in the potential of autochtonous varieties, and Works at incorporating their maximum expression in his wines.
There's a certain yin-and-yang that comes along with talking to Richard Sanz, the winemaker who runs Menade in Rueda along with his brother and sister.
Colour: Soft golden pale flashes. Aroma: Noted white, exotic fruit sensations such as pears in syrup. Wrapping in fragrances with typical provenance of the Sauvignon grape variety. Palate: Inviting fruity sweetness that opens to the fresh and natural acidity. Persistent and mild in the retro taste.


Huawei today launched a new handset in China, the successor to Honor 8, called the Honor 9. This handset like the Honor 8 comes with dual cameras on the back and is powered by Kirin 960 octa core processor. Honor 9 price in China starts from RMB 2299 that comes to approx Rs. 21K.
The Honor 9 is a dual SIM handset using a Hybrid slot. It houses the Kirin 960 64 bit octa core processor clocked at 2.4GHz coupled with Mali G71 GPU. EMUI 5.1 over Android 7 runs out of the box with 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage or 6GB RAM / 64GB /128GB storage and with micro SD support.
Screen is 5.15 inches with 2.5D curved glass supporting 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. There are dual cameras on the back – one with a 20MP lens and other with 12MP lens, Laser AF and 4K recording capabilities. Front camera is a 8MP shooter. This handset gets power from a 3200 mAh battery.

Q: Is there a way to get "people reached" sum across entire network for a user? The New Model profiles on Meta.SE (pretty big improvement!) have a section for "People reached" stat.
Now, unless I'm much mistaken, that stat is specific to a given site on the network.
If that assumption is indeed correct, is there a way to find out the "People Reached" summary across 100% of the sites on the network for all your connected profiles?

A: As indicated in the comments a SEDE query would do so here it is:
To run it you need your accountid and that one can be found by visiting your network account on StackExchange.com and then take the id from the url. Yours is 41067, mine is 281857 and  Annonomus Penguin is 1640390.

drop table #all_reached

This query uses the technique described here to iterate over all databases in SEDE. In the cursor loop I execute this query for each single database and add the results to the temporary table #all_reached. After all databases are processed a select over that temp-table produces this result:

Notice that there is this feature request to include the statistic in the users table so this query wouldn't require that much resources to run.

This is one of my favorite pictures! From left to right we are: my daughter, Miranda; me; my mother, Kathryn; and my daughter, Stephanie. Mama was a loving and ever-present figure in my children's lives. My son, Cary, is not in this picture, but Memama was a huge presence in his life too. In this picture, "the girls" are touring the Wesley Child Development Center at our church, First United Methodist of Orlando. Mama attended the church with us every Sunday.
Mama contracted polio at the age of 18 months and spent many months unable to walk due to the disease. She remembered stories of her brothers and sisters carrying her around and caring for her. She was an incredible fighter though! At the age of 24, she underwent a cutting-edge surgery to transplant a ligament from her toe to her heel, which was quickly shortening. The heel ligament was keeping her from putting her foot flat on the floor, as the heel cord tightened and pulled it shorter and shorter. (This might not be medically correct language, but this was Mama's story and her understanding of the event.) She was a working girl, drawing maps for a chart company, and couldn't afford the surgery. The doctor agreed to perform the operation for $500, if she would let other surgeons examine her ligament transplant at an upcoming convention. She agreed and gladly modeled her post-surgery scars and normal gait. It is my understanding that she appeared in a medical textbook in the 1940s.
She felt weakening of her muscles and pain throughout her body. After years of using a cane, she finally took that cool scooter for a spin. It had sat in her tiny duplex, fully charged, for such a long time. The kids would ride it around the living room, but Mama's pride would not let her take it outside. When she embraced the scooter, she broadened her horizons. Life got way more fun, and she became a self-proclaimed "expert" on navigating small spaces and parallel parking up to tables for dinner!

The spectacular growth of the Internet has spawned an increased awareness of and interest in security issues. Although security has been considered in the design of the basic Internet protocols, many applications have been and are being designed with minimal attention paid to issues of confidentiality, authentication, and privacy. As our daily activities become more and more reliant upon data networks, the importance of an understanding of such security issues will only increase. Many cryptographic algorithms (e.g., DES, AES) require the establishment of shared keying material in advance. Manual distribution of keying material is inefficient and complex. This is where the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement algorithm is useful. The project is developed using Visual Studio with C# .Net as programming language. There is only one entity who will have the access to the system which is user. User first need to login using its login credentials and then only he/she can access the system. Encryption is the technique of hiding private or sensitive information within something that appears to be nothing be a usual. If a person views that cipher text, he or she will have no idea that there is any secret information. What encryption essentially does is exploit human perception, human senses are not trained to look for files that have information inside of them. What this system does is, it lets user to send text as secrete message and gives a key or a password to lock the text, what this key does is, it encrypts the text, so that even if it is hacked by hacker it will not be able to read the text. Receiver will need the key to decrypt the hidden text. User then sends the key to the receiver and then he enters the key or password for decryption of text, he then presses decrypt key to get secret text from the sender. By using this method, you can double ensure that your secret message is sent secretly without outside interference of hackers or crackers. If sender sends this cipher text in public others will not know what is it, and it will be received by receiver. The system uses online database to store all related information.
