Rare-earth hysteria?
By Larry MacDonald October 25, 2010
China has a monopoly in rare-earth elements so when it slashed exports to the West in July, prices for the metals soared (as did rare-earth stocks).
Does this mean high prices and shortages for goods using rare earths, which include iPods, BlackBerrys, laptops, LED screens, windmills, hybrid cars, smart bombs and guided missiles? There isnt too much to be worried about on this front, according to experts such as Technology Metals Research cofounder Jack Lifton.
First, deposits of the light version of rare earths are relatively plentiful around the world. Indeed, a supply glut is expected to emerge once the Molycorp Inc. ( MCP) mine at Mountain Pass in California returns to production in 2011 (especially considering MCP claims to have new processes that lower its costs of production to Chinese levels).
Second, although deposits of the heavy rare earths (especially neodymium and dysprosium) are relatively scarce, the impact of Chinas restrictions should still be minimal.
Many of the products usingrare earths contain only tiny quantities, so there will be little increase in production costs. Something like a laptop computer probably only has got about 50 to 80 cents worth of rare earth in it, says Dudley Kingsnorth, a rare-earth metals expert at Industrial Minerals Co. of Australia.
Even in cases where the content is relatively high, there shouldnt be big price increases. Most high-tech companies have outsourced production to China and can buy rare earthsat low prices there. And since rare earths used in exported Chinese goods are not subject to quotas, the companies costs are not affected.
As for national security concerns, Lifton says the U.S. military doesnt require rare earths in large quantities. And there are stockpiles that should provide a buffer pending a ramp up in Western production.
North America can become self sufficient in heavy rare earths by bringing the Alaskan property of Ucore Rare Metals ( UURAF) into production. This has been estimated to take several years but the time could be reduced depending on urgency and financial support from the U.S. government.
Legislation before the U.S. Congress, if passed, will authorize loan guarantees, and financial assistance for research and development. When production comes on stream from Molycorp, Ucore and others, as suggested in On the precipice, this could have the benefit of encouraging manufacturing operations to locate in the West for the refining of rare earths as well as themaking of consumer, green and military products.
Could China respond byflooding the market with cheap supplies to put Western miners and refiners out of business, like it did several years ago? Such a tactic is unlikely if, as Chinese authorities say, they are currently restricting supply for environmental reasons/domestic requirements. In any event, the U.S. government could protect rare-earth operations through tariffs and other measures.

Question #4cacf
Calculus Power Series Constructing a Taylor Series
Andrea S.
We have:
#int_0^1 e^(-x^3) dx = sum_(n=0)^oo (-1)^n/(n!) 1/(3n+1)#
and we can stop the sum at #n=3# to have an error less than #0.01#:
#int_0^1 e^(-x^3) dx ~= 169/210#
We know that the Taylor series expansion of #e^t# around #t=0# is:
#e^t = sum_(n=0)^oo t^n/(n!)#
Substituting #t=-x^3#:
#e^(-x^3) = sum_(n=0)^oo (-1)^n x^(3n)/(n!)#
and since this series has radius of convergence #R=oo# we can integrate term by term:
#int_0^1 e^(-x^3) dx = sum_(n=0)^oo (-1)^n int_0^1x^(3n)/(n!)dx#
#int_0^1 e^(-x^3) dx = sum_(n=0)^oo (-1)^n/(n!) [x^(3n+1)/(3n+1)]_0^1#
If we stop the sum at the term #n=N#, Lagrange's theorem states that:
#int_0^1 e^(-x^3) dx = sum_(n=0)^N (-1)^n/(n!) 1/(3n+1)+ (-1)^(N+1)/((N+1)!) xi^(3N+1)/(3N+1)# with #0<=xi<=1#
As #xi<=1 => xi^(3N+1) <= 1# we have that:
#int_0^1 e^(-x^3) dx = sum_(n=0)^N (-1)^n/(n!) 1/(3n+1)+R_N#
#abs(R_N) <= 1/((N+1)!)1/(3N+1)#
#abs(R_1) <= 1/2*1/4 = 1/8#
#abs(R_2) <= 1/6*1/7 = 1/42#
#abs(R_3) <= 1/24*1/10 = 1/240 < 0.01#
So to have an error smaller than #0.01# we need four terms:
#int_0^1 e^(-x^3) dx ~= 1-1/4+1/14-1/60 = (420-105+30-7)/420=338/420=169/210#

Q: Method push is not adding a value to a vector that previously had the same value The goal of the code I'm going to present is to create a aux vector that will contain petri nets transitions, arcs and places. I'm dividing a petri net into several groups, each group is a transition with respective input arcs and places.
The issue is the following: After I put the info in the first position of the aux vector, I'm unable to put a place with the same id of the place of the previous group. For example, if I have a transition with place_id=1 and place_id=2, and the next transition have place_id=2 and place_id=3, the code doesn't write the value place_i=2 in the vector for the second group.
function conflict() {
    var id = [];
    var source = [];
    var target = [];
    var aux = [];
    var cont = [];
    var places = pnml.getElementsByTagName("place");
    var arcs = pnml.getElementsByTagName("arc");
    var transitions = pnml.getElementsByTagName("transition");

    for (var i = 0; i < transitions.length; i++) {
        target.push(transitions[i].getAttribute("id"));
        aux.push([]);
        for (var j = 0; j < arcs.length; j++) {
            if (arcs[j].getAttribute("target") == transitions[i].getAttribute("id")) {
                id.push(arcs[j].getAttribute("id"));
                source.push(arcs[j].getAttribute("source"));
                //console.log(arcs[j].getAttribute( "source" ));
            }
        }
        //console.log(id);
        //console.log(arcs);
        //console.log(places);
        aux[i].push(id, source, target);
        //id.length=0;
        target = [];
        source = [];
        id = [];
    }
}

Image of the platform with console open
Thanks in advance

A: Without knowing a whole lot for the issue, try to change this
aux.push([]);

to this
aux[i]=[];

So that you initialize and fill using an index instead of a push and an index later, for consistency.
Let me know if it helps
EDIT:
Also this
aux[i].push(id, source, target);

to this (maybe? )
aux[i].push({ id: id, source:source, target:target});

You probably want to keep objects in aux, so you need to push an object, not 3 parameters like that

It might be hot or freezing outside but you can still manage to control the interior environment of your the car. The car heating system will help with that. Just like the other parts of the vehicle, the heating system might fail. Even so, you cannot afford to go to just anyone when it comes to car heating system repair. It is important for you to consider the number of months of years the auto repair shop has been operating before you decide to work with them. If the company can manage to stay in business for a long time then you are sure that they have been doing exactly what the customers want. Consider the experience of the individual mechanics too. Do not ignore insurance and licenses. There is a better chance of getting good customer service if the business etiquette demonstrated by the company is reliable. In case of licenses and insurance, a business that ensures they are in order before advertising the services is one you can rely on.
There are a variety of companies specializing in the manufacture of car heating supplies. You should ask for the specific brands the auto repair shop prefers. The brands will select dealers based on merits. In such a case, you do not expect people who are no good at the job to be picked. By looking at the car heating supplies the company has in stock, you can know how good they are. It is not every auto repair shop that will be affiliated with a specific dealer and this means you have a chance to decide on the brand to purchase. You will not be forced to select something just because the auto repair shop has it in stock. Professionalism is another factor you need the var heating repair shop to have. Rest assured that if the auto repair shop has shown professionalism you will also get reliability. The appearance of the employees should be professional. In addition, the auto repair shop should have listed a permanent physical address and several ways to contact them. In matters to do with professionalism, company equipment and vehicle should be clearly labeled.


On March 1, 2012 at the Digital Media and Learning (DML) Conference in San Francisco, a team of researchers supported by the MacArthur Foundation's Digital Media and Learning Initiative introduced a new learning model–connected learning. This new model is based on extensive research into the ways youth are using social media, the Internet, and digital media to learn across different settings, both in and out of school.
The researchers also announced two new websites, connectedlearning.tv and clrn.dmlhub.net, which feature an evolving collection of research and resources about connected learning for all stakeholders, including educators, researchers, policymakers, youth workers, and parents.

I arrived in Fiji in 1910. With others we were sent to Lautoka which we reached on a night when hurricane winds were raging. Our first night there was spent in the Lautoka mill. There, the next day, we were separated and distributed to the various plantations.
I went to Koronubu. There the kitchen was some distance from where the lines were and there was no place for bathing. We had to use the riverside for washing ourselves. On arrival at Koronubu we were given our foodstuffs to cook and on the next day the various tools with which we were going to work.
Those who did their work and completed their task got their full wages. After finishing our work we went home, had a wash and a rest. Those who had not completed their tasks by 4pm sometimes earned only eight pence and some even four pence for that day. Some worked hard but their hands and feet became blistered and the next day they could not hold the hoe or the knife so they stayed home and shed tears. Sardars would ask, "Is this all you came to do in Fiji?" then beat these people. I saw sardars beating people. On such occasions the overseer would turn up and the sardar would inform him that the labourer was not doing any work. The overseer would usually call him a 'bloody bastard' and give him three lashes of the whip. In these circumstances some Indians used to despair and resort to hanging themselves. This I know very well. But to whom could we then tell these sad tales? The big and powerful sardars and the strong and sturdy overseers were all allies. Who would then listen to us? The overseers made sure that these physically powerful men were with them. When we were whipped we cried and were sorrowful but endured it and said nothing to anyone.
They were not very good towards women either. Women being women they were not always able to finish their tasks and therefore they were scolded by the overseers. Even when the task was unfinished we went back by 4 p.m. By the time we had washed, got our bucket of water, cooked, eaten and cleaned up, it was about 9pm.
Then next morning again at three o'clock the water carrier would come calling everybody to wake up and get ready for work. We were awakened at 3am so that we could be able to cook and have something for breakfast.
By 4.30am women with children were expected to take them to their nurse who looked after them during the day. There was an indentured woman who was the nurse and one took one's children to her and left them with milk (tinned milk usually). Whether the children cried or wanted to come with you, you had to leave him behind and then go back and collect your tools for work. By 5am at the latest we had to leave the line.
We used to be paid on Friday. We would go at about 8pm to collect our money. We often left our children sleeping behind and we were back by about ten o'clock. From mid-day Saturday and all day Sunday we had a break. Some people used to sing and dance or read their kathas and it was in this way that we spent our leisure. We were not educated and did not have very much knowledge about these rituals which when performed made us happy. A katha was usually said by somebody amongst the group who made himself a pundit and was accepted as such. When the katha used to take place everybody would sit quietly and listen and then sweets would be distributed; afterwards everybody would have a meal before returning to their own lines. The man who heard the katha provided the meal. Everybody went to hear the katha whether he was a Hindu or not.
In those days nobody knew who was a Muslim, a Hindu or a Brahmin or anything else. They were all one. For Muslims the big thing was the tazia where everybody made these big edifices and great crowds, gathered. These were occasions of great celebration. The taziawas regarded as a Muslim festival even though Hindus participated fully. Nobody really went and asked the Muslims how they fasted and when they ate and broke their fast.
But they apparently did keep their fast and when the festival ofEid came everybody was involved, everybody ate the vermicelli that they cooked in their place. It was not a question of religion then. Everybody regarded one another as brothers who put shoulder to shoulder together and worked.
In every street there was a small bazaar. Farmers, usually those who had been indentured labourers earlier, brought their various vegetables or commodities and sold them. One could buy everything one needed from these bazaars.

Disasters cause deaths and serious disruptions in society, which call for the global community to take drastic steps to address and reduce the impacts of these inevitable calamities. That is why the government, through the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction Management Act of 2010, requires the integration of disaster risk reduction in the school curriculum to strengthen the awareness and practice of personnel and students on calamity preparedness. Hence, the paper assessed the level of awareness and extent of practice on disaster preparedness before, during, and after the disaster of public junior high school students in Antique. Likewise, it sought to establish a difference in awareness and practice on disaster preparedness relative to sex, residence, and grade level and the relationship between awareness and practice.

I hope that 2017 was good to your health, and here's hoping that 2018 will be even better. Can you believe it? In 2017, I wrote nearly 100 brand new blog articles for you! In case you missed any of them, I'm going to spend the next two weeks counting down the top 10. Here are the first 5 that you will not want to miss.
Starting from 10, let's find out more about the top blogs that you enjoyed throughout 2017. Want to make sure that you can keep up with everything we covered this year? Don't worry, I'll be including links along the way so that you don't miss a thing. Happy reading!
Food intolerances were top-of-mind for so many this past year, and it's easy to see why! There is just so much confusion about this topic, which is why I found it so important to pull back the curtain and tell the whole story about food intolerances. Best of all, we learned about ways that we can heal food intolerances – both naturally, and with great effect. Looking to learn more about prebiotic foods, fermented foods, or supplements? This is the place to start.
This article sought to answer a question that I find so important in the world of thyroid disease: Do you know if you're taking the right amount of thyroid medicine? Dosages are so important, especially for an underactive thyroid, and really hammering that home and working to get a system into effect that works for you is one of my guiding priorities. If you have ever had problems understanding your scores or your blood levels, you'll find it all right here.
8. Epstein Barr Virus The Hidden Cause of Hashimoto's?
How do you get Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)? Just how common is it? What are the dangers and can it lead to Hashimoto's? In 2017, EBV was a big priority for me that I set out to talk more about – and you responded. This was the 8th most popular post, and for good reason, as we dove into the world of EBV, how to test for it, remedies, and what it might mean for you and your thyroid health. Need a refresher? I also wrote about it as one of the hidden causes of fatigue, too.
When it comes to supplements, do you know what to take, how much you should take, and what supplements fulfill what requirements for your health? Whether it's vitamin A, C, D, K, or magnesium, I really wanted to put together an article surrounding the science of supplements and what they can do for your body (and your health).

Noted Scientologist Kirstie Alley Absolutely Refused To Talk About Scientology On 'Celebrity Big Brother'
Stacey Ritzen
News & Culture Writer
Former Cheers star and fettuccine aficionado Kirstie Alley is currently appearing on Celebrity Big Brother over in the UK, along with a dozen or so mostly British actors and celebrities. One of Alley's roomies is media personality Rodrigo Alves, who at 35-years-old is better known as the "Human Ken Doll" for the over one hundred cosmetic surgeries he's had over the course of his life in an attempt to perfect his appearance.
It's hard to attempt to wrap your head around why someone would opt to change their appearance so radically, but this week Alves turned his attention to a subject of conversation even more puzzling: Alley's affiliation with the Church of Scientology. To his credit, Alves approached the subject respectfully, genuinely asking her what the religion entails, but Alley was having none of it.
"The best way for someone to find out what it is is to read a book about it, there's like many many Scientology books," Alley answered, despite the fact that they're currently locked in a house together without access to books. "Or there's a TV channel now called Scientology.tv."
But when Alves pressed, Alley — who donated $5 million to the Church of Scientology in 2007 — refused to say more.
"It would be like this, if I really wanted to know what a Christian was, what they really believed, I would read the Bible," she explained. "I was raised Christian, so I'd read the Bible. If I really wanted to know what a Muslim was, I'd read the Quran."
"But can you tell me about it?" Alves continued, but was met with only a resounding "no" from Alley.
It may not help him now, but thankfully there just so happens to be a convenient explainer easily accessible for Alves or anyone else who doesn't feel like reading an entire book on the subject.

St. LouisCardinalsSTL
Cardinals beat Dodgers 2-1 with 2 runs in 8th
LOS ANGELES -- Carlos Martinez overcame an early bout of wildness before straightening himself out. After that, the Los Angeles Dodgers couldn't straighten out any of the pitches he threw over the plate.
Martinez outpitched Brett Anderson again during their second low-scoring duel in six days, and the St. Louis Cardinals scratched across a pair of runs in the eighth inning to beat the Dodgers 2-1 Friday night.
"Both guys were on their game tonight," Cardinals right fielder Jason Heyward said. "Carlos kept us in the game the whole way, and that's huge. Our pitching has been awesome for us. And when your pitcher's throwing well, you feel like you can come back and win."
Martinez (6-2) allowed his only run in the second on a bases-loaded walk to power-hitting rookie Joc Pederson. The right-hander gave up three hits and had a career-high 11 strikeouts in seven innings while helping the Cardinals lower their major league-best ERA to 2.57.
"Our hitters aren't going to have their best games every night, so it definitely helps when your pitcher's throwing like this in this type of environment against this type of team," Heyward said.
Last Sunday, Martinez held the Dodgers to one hit over seven innings and struck out eight in a 3-1 victory over Anderson, which followed an emotional pregame tribute to Martinez's late teammate and best friend Oscar Taveras, who was killed in a car accident in October.
This time, Anderson (2-4) allowed two runs and four hits in 7 2/3 innings.
"I'm just giving us a chance with quality starts," Anderson said. "I did a good job until the eighth. There were some kind of fluky plays there. We expect these games to be close and competitive. So far they have been, we just haven't been on the right side."
The Cardinals, with the best record in the majors at 37-18, were held to a pair of harmless singles over the first seven innings and failed to get a runner in scoring position until everything unraveled for Anderson in the eighth.
Yadier Molina drew a leadoff walk, Heyward followed with an infield single and Tony Cruz advanced both runners with a sacrifice bunt while batting for Martinez.
Kolten Wong was credited with a tying RBI single when Anderson failed to cover first base on a grounder to Adrian Gonzalez wide of the bag. Matt Carpenter drove in Heyward with a sacrifice fly on Anderson's 88th and final pitch.
Trevor Rosenthal, the fourth St. Louis pitcher, got three outs for his 18th save in 19 attempts to secure the Cardinals' fourth straight win and 10th in 12 games.
Martinez, who hadn't allowed a run in his previous three starts spanning 20 1/3 innings, gave up two walks and two singles in the second when the Dodgers scored their run. After the walk to Pederson, Martinez minimized the damage by retiring Jimmy Rollins on a double-play grounder -- two pitches after getting a visit from pitching coach Derek Lilliquist.
"The second inning was a little bit of a mess that could have turned out really bad, but he made some good pitches. That was really the only inning that he had any kind of hiccups," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "It was just another really good outing for him, and quite a test."
The Dodgers did not get another baserunner until Gonzalez drew a leadoff walk in the sixth. Martinez struck out the next three batters.
"He's a great pitcher," Pederson said. "He's got good velocity and good off-speed pitches that he located well. You've got to be patient, waiting for your pitch and put a good swing on it, but we didn't swing the bats."
Scott Schebler, promoted earlier in the day from Triple-A Oklahoma City, started in left field for the Dodgers and went 1 for 3 in his major league debut -- including an opposite-field single to left his first time up.
Cardinals: OF Tommy Pham (left quadriceps) was activated from the 60-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Memphis. 1B Matt Adams (right quadriceps strain) was transferred to the 60-day DL to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.
Dodgers: 2B Howie Kendrick missed his second straight game because of a sprained right knee. ... RHP Pedro Baez, who hasn't pitched since May 13 because of a strain in his right pectoral muscle, threw off a mound for the first time and didn't experience any pain.
Cardinals: LHP Jaime Garcia (1-2) will make his fourth start of the season after missing the first 40 games while recovering from thoracic outlet surgery.
Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw (4-3) lost to St. Louis in the final game of the 2013 NL Championship Series and the final game of the 2014 Division Series. During the regular season, the reigning NL MVP and three-time Cy Young Award winner is 5-5 with a 3.46 ERA in 14 starts against the Cardinals.

Virat Kohli reveals why India enforced the follow-on
— Aug 8, 2017
With this win, India under the leadership of Virat Kohli has now won eight consecutive Test series.
The source said that itinerary for the series with Sri Lanka would be announced this week.
The win came some 10 minutes before the tea-break but it could have come early had KL Rahul not dropped a sitter from Dimuth Karunaratne at forward short-leg off Jadeja when the batsman was on 95.
As Sri Lanka have shown, they aren't the strongest opposition anymore, even though that can be a little bit of a double-edged sword.
India's commendable innings and 53-run win in the second Test was made easier by winning the toss and opting to bat first. The nucleus of team has remained the same over the past two years and India's next test will come in overseas conditions and knowing Kohli he will be desperate to put the results of past behind. This can happen for two sessions because of momentum but when the day (three) ended we spoke about the fact that they have to do this again for two sessions. "As a batsman, it's very hard to keep carrying on for four sessions and that's exactly what we spoke as a team". His versatile effort won him the player of the match award.
Philippine police kill one mayor in drug raid
Relatives even said that Parojinog did not spare those he suspected to be involved in illegal drugs, including his kin. Abella, in a statement yesterday, reiterated this, saying: "The Administration vowed to intensify the drug campaign".
Kohli now has 18 wins under his belt-only three less than India's second-most successful captain Sourav Ganguly (21). We spoke as a team that we have to embrace this because all sessions that we play are not going to go our way. Remember Lord's, remember Dharamsala against Australia, those are very important innings, the 90 against England in Mohali.
We are not really bothered about where we are playing. "We are creating a habit of winning that I think can be carried on in future as well".
"We are still talking to them and trying to convince them how important it is for Pakistan cricket to host some global matches at home", he added.
While Indian team is preparing its best to whitewash Sri Lankan team, here comes a fatal blow for the blue squad as the star-allrounder Ravindra Jadeja is set to miss the third test match on August 12th at Pallekele. Jadeja threw the ball at Dimuth Karunaratne off his own bowling when the batsman was inside the crease and the umpire ruled it "dangerous".
India did bring on its pacers, Mohammed Shami (0-27) and Umesh Yadav (1-39), for short spells with the new ball, but they were unable to provide breakthroughs. The reason we lost the game is because we got out for 183 in the first innings. "And to be able to have that hunger and passion day in day out, working hard on his game, coming out and having those consistent performances takes a lot of mental strength", said Kohli.

Program: Section on Pediatric Trainees Program (H2609, H3809)
P0871 - An A-Tip-ical Side Effect of Lithium
Lithium is an FDA-approved mood-stabilizer used in treatment of bipolar disorder in children as young as 12 years old. Though seemingly effective in pediatric population for treatment of mania and mood stabilization in bipolar disorder, lithium requires frequent monitoring for toxicity and adverse side effects.
An 18 year old male with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, bipolar I disorder, depression, and anxiety, presented with 10 days of swelling, weight gain, progressive abdominal pain, emesis, diarrhea, and decreased urine output with frothy urine. Home medications included levothyroxine, Risperdal, and lithium. Creatinine was 1.2 mg/dl, increased from a baseline of 0.8 mg/dl. There was nephrotic-range proteinuria, with spot urine protein /creatinine ratio of 9. Serum lithium level was 2.5 mmol/L (therapeutic range 1-1.2 mmol/L). The renal biopsy demonstrated a tip variant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), with diffuse fusion of foot processes by electron microscopy, but no tubular epithelial changes. Lithium was discontinued, and the patient underwent diuresis with Lasix/albumin infusions. Proteinuria resolved within two months of medication discontinuation and he remains remission. The bipolar disorder is now treated with Lamictal and Risperdal.
Discussion and Conclusion
Lithium has a wide side effect profile, requiring close monitoring. Lithium-induced nephrotic syndrome is a well-documented, idiopathic side effect. Most renal biopsies reveal histology consistent with minimal change disease; however, FSGS has been less commonly shown to be associated with lithium use. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of tip variant associated FSGS in a teenager. While lithium may have induced nephrosis, the subsequent decrease in glomerular filtration rate due to low effective circulating volume in nephrotic syndrome likely led to poor excretion of lithium, resulting in toxic levels and protracted recovery from its adverse side effects. Despite the atypical histopathology, our patient followed a favorable course once lithium was discontinued and remains in remission without immunosuppressive therapy.

Solving Crime Southern Style! Chatting with Alyssa Lyons
By BK at 12:00 AM author tour, author tour| blog tour|blog tours|book tour|book tours| black opal books|Alyssa Lyons|jordan davis series, author tours No comments
Alyssa Lyons, like her character Jordan Davis, lives in Lynchburg, Virginia. The South is her playground. Its eccentricities fuel her stories. She specializes in "Solving Crimes Southern Style." However unlike Jordan, she is a cat person—rather, she is staff to two cats she rescued. Like most cats, they believe they were the ones doing the saving and therefore she owes them. She taught high school American history and government, worked for the CIA as an Intelligence Analyst, and is a retired attorney. She declines to include a photo, preferring to remain a woman of mystery riding a motorcycle like Jordan, and hopes not be ridden out of town on a rail.
Welcome to BK Walker Books Etc. I'm so happy you could join me today at Starbucks.
BK: Please tell us a little about yourself...
AL: Thank you for inviting me here today, BK. Like my character Jordan Davis, I live in Lynchburg, Virginia. The South's eccentricities fuel my stories. Unlike Jordan, I am staff to an unherdable herd of rescue cats. Like most cats, they believe they were the ones doing the saving and therefore I owe them. I've taught high school, worked for the CIA, and practiced law.
BK: Please tell us a little about your book....
AL: The Jordan Davis Mysteries started as a traditional romantic suspense with a cozy (amateur sleuth) flavor. I wanted a strong heroine who was also out of the ordinary. What could be more unusual than a Jewish, motorcycle-riding free spirit? What stranger business than a funeral boutique that grants its clients' last wishes, however bizarre they might be?
In book 1, LAST WISHES, Jordan crosses paths, and then hearts, with a gorgeous, uptight judge who got out of Lynchburg—until it pulled him back in—and then found himself involved in Jordan's murder investigations led me to the idea of a series. The series is sexier and less alcohol-laden than Nick & Nora Charles, while solving murders set against the background of Lynchburg, Virginia, a small southern city. I also wanted the town to be a character, giving the flavor of the New South, still strongly religious, a mite rebellious, but kicking and screaming its way into the Twenty-first Century.
BK: What inspired you to pen this particular novel?
AL: I realized I had a knack for writing mysteries with a strong dose of romance. I dug under the bed for an unfinished mystery I had started several years ago with a former co-writer. After substantial reworking, I molded it into a faster paced, darker, and sexier story, but still with romance and humor elements. Also, the nice part about writing a series is your main characters don't have to be created from scratch each time, although you get to explore new dimensions of them.
BK: When did you first consider yourself a writer?
AL: When I started rewriting the endings to unsatisfying movies, TV shows, and books, I realized I had the makings of a writer. When I outlined an idea, plopped myself down with a pad and pen (and later a computer) and began to write a story like the kind I wanted to read but couldn't find enough of, and got through to "they lived happily ever after," I knew I had what it took to be a novelist.
BK: How do you keep your story flowing?
AL: Mysteries take more careful pre-planning than other genres. You have to keep the reader guessing, the timeline straight, the red herrings convincing, and the resolution logical. It would be very difficult for a true "pantser" to write a mystery improvisationally. Writing mysteries made changes in my style, voice, and planning method to conform with the unique quality of mysteries. I also needed to hone my romance writing skills. During my five-year hiatus from writing, sex in books has grown hotter, more erotic. So be warned. You may need a fan beside you in places.
BK: Do you ever run into writer's block, and if so, what do you do to get past it?
AL: No so much writer's block as a general malaise that promotes procrastination. I seldom lose the story itself because the plot is outlined, but I just find reasons not to write. Ironically, deadlines are the best cure for the malaise because it forces me to sit at the computer and write.
BK: What is your writing process like? Do you have any quirks, or must-haves to write?
AL: My favorite place to write is sitting on the couch in my living room. What I need more than anything is my best friend sitting on the other end of the couch batting ideas back and forth. I will admit that a Starbucks nine-pump, venti, soy chai latte, extra hot, no water or foam, helps.
BK: Where do you hope your books/writing will be in the future?
AL: I'd like to continue the Jordan Davis series. I've also done some work on a medical thriller series centered in the CDC that I'd like to pursue at some time.
BK: What do you hope readers will take away from your books?
AL: An interest in reading more of them. I want them to be entertained, to lose themselves in the story, and see that HEA but it requires working through the problems that arise. That's what's great about a series with continuing characters. I can show life in all its glory.
BK: What is one piece of advice you received that you carry with you in your writing?
AL: Write. Nora Roberts says you can always fix a manuscript, but you can't fix a blank page. Also, never let fear of reject keep you from entering contests or submitting to editors. If you let your fear stop you, then you've rejected your own work.
BK: What is one piece of advice you would give to new and aspiring writers?
AL: Finish the frakking book!
BK: Are you currently working on any new projects? What can we expect from you in the future?
AL: I am laying out the plot for book number four of the Jordan Davis series. No title yet, but a skeleton found in the wall of a Main Street renovation uncovers skeletons buried deep in the closet for several characters in the series, most notably Grayson Trent's mother, Libby. It should be released by late Summer 2012.
BK: Where can readers find you?
You can read about Jordan's adventures in solving crime "Southern Style" in LAST WISHES, CLUBBED TO DEATH, and STABBED AND SLABBED.
You can reach me at my website and blog: http://www.alyssalyons.com
My books are available at http://www.blackopalbooks.com and all major e-book retailers.
Thank you so much for taking time to chat with me today. It's been a pleasure having you and I wish you much success in the future.

There have been a few dating rumors in the past regarding K-Pop idols that most people didn't believe not because they were rumors but because it was just way too bizarre to ever be true.
In fact, some of them will most likely make you burst out in laughter and make you wonder how on earth such rumors even began in the first place.
The chairman of SM Entertainment and a member of EXO? Many people seriously question how this rumor even first began as it is not only freaky but also the weirdest pair to choose from of all the combinations you can make from using everyone who exists within the K-Pop scene.
Sure, it's easy to picture PSY with a trophy wife or a lot of beautiful women around him, as he looks like a typical "Gangnam style gentleman". But he's married and we just can't picture YoonA having an affair with a married man. The rumors first broke out when a photographer mistook a cameraman of a TV show next to YoonA as PSY. In addition, the rumors even included PSY's wife, claiming that she was staying silent about the matter to protect PSY's career and the children.
Japanese tabloids reported in the past that ChangMin was seen with a mystery woman who was also older than him. However, little did they realize that the "woman" that ChangMin was with was actually MinHo from SHINee. MinHo's long hairstyle during the time caused the tabloids to believe he was seeing a woman.

The best Twitter reactions to Big Sean's rapper-packed 'Friday Night Cypher' from 'Detroit 2'
He may not fuck with you but he absolutely fucks with, like, every major rapper in Detroit. Big Sean dropped his long-awaited sequel to 2012's Detroit mixtape on Friday, Sep. 4. The 21-track album features Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, Post Malone, Justin Bieber, and the late Nipsey Hussle. Comedian Dave Chapelle is on there, too, and legend Stevie Wonder has his own track, a story about his deep connection to the city.
Perhaps the most talked-about track on the record is "Friday Night Cypher" — a nine-minute relay race featuring Tee Grizzley, Kash Doll, Cash Kidd, Payroll, 42 Dugg, Boldy James, Drego, Sada Baby, Royce da 5'9'', and Slim Shady himself, Eminem. Oh, and Big Sean. Duh.
Naturally, Twitter has something to say about it. Some think Em bodied everyone with his verse, while others skipped ahead the minute Em took the mic. There's love for underrated Cash Kidd, too, and there's plenty of people wondering why Danny Brown didn't make it on the crowded AF epic. For the most part, people are expressing their feelings with a flurry of fire and mind blown emojis, but there are some listeners who think the beat on "Friday Night Cypher" is pure trash.
Grab some popcorn and settle in because the comment section is as explosive as the track itself.

    if (err)
        resolve({"message": err});
    else
        resolve({"message": body});
})

By this I am getting error as "The incoming message has an unexpected message format 'Raw'. The expected message formats for the operation are 'Xml', 'Json'.".
Please help me how to pass headers to this request.
Thanks in advance.

A: request.post({url:'https://myurl/myfunction', body: formData, json: true, headers: {'contentType': 'application/json'}}, function optionalCallback(err, httpResponse, body) {
    if (err)
        resolve({"message": err});
    else
        resolve({"message": JSON.stringify(body)});
});

Worked for me...
