Chapter 377: Kill Lin Feng!
Special thanks to Czapelski G for sponsoring this chapter.
Two of the eight high-officials, the second ranked Yue Tian Ming, and the third ranked Wu Qing, had appeared in the same place at the same time, that was extremely rare.
Many people were looking at them with impatience in their eyes. All the eight high-officials were extraordinary geniuses, and at that moment, two of the high-officials were in front of them.
Wu Qing was wearing a black cloak. He was extremely ugly, he had a mouth that stuck out and a chin like an ape, he looked particularly bestial, especially when he was staring at Yue Tian Ming.
Yue Tian Ming looked calm and serene, he wasn't like Wu Qing who looked like an animal. Wu Qing almost seemed like he wanted to tear Yue Tian Ming apart.
"What is the cultivation level of the second and third best high-officials?" Thought Lin Feng. Duan Wu Ya was the fourth ranked official, but was already monstrously strong. These two people had to be even stronger than Duan Wu Ya. Besides, according to the rumors, the mysterious crown prince Duan Wu Dao was unbelievably strong.
"Since you want to see if Yue Tian Ming's reputation matches the reality, how could a single attack be enough? Let's make it a battle to the death, when one of the fighters die, the battle is over, if Yue Tian Ming is the loser, I will not intervene, if Wu Qing is the loser, you, members of the Wan Shou Sect, cannot intervene either." Said the white haired old man looking completely expressionless and sounding indifferent, which astonished everybody.
He wanted Yue Tian Ming and Wu Qing to fight to death?
How confident! The white haired old man had absolute faith, he was convinced that Yue Tian Ming could easily kill Wu Qing without any risk.
Would the members of the Wan Shou Sect dare or not?
Even though he admired Wu Qing's strength, he thought that Wu Qing's talent was much more incredible than his own and wanted to make him the future patriarch of the Wan Shou Sect, Wu Qing was indeed really an incredible and prodigious beast cultivator, he didn't know precisely how strong Yue Tian Ming was, he only knew that that he hadn't been in Xue Yue, nobody knew what cultivation level he had after returning, nobody dared gamble.
"Teng Wu Yao, will you dare or not?" Said the white haired old man while looking at the patriarch of the Wan Shou Sect for the first time, Teng Wu Yao, with his white hair fluttering in the wind.
The sentence was resonating through the atmosphere, it was incredible.
Teng Wu Yao looked glum, he really didn't dare. He had been bringing Wu Qing to the beast forests since his childhood to help him gain experience, he had become almost like a son to him, he had raised him since he was young, he couldn't put Wu Qing's life at stake and let him battle to the death against Yue Tian Ming.
"The situation in Xue Yue is constantly changing, the eight high-official's rankings will change as well, what is the point in trying to know who is stronger between Wu Qing and Yue Tian Ming? Why would I gamble with you?" Said Teng Wu Yao slowly which made people suddenly look disappointed. It seemed like Yue Tian Ming and Wu Qing's battle wouldn't happen.
The old man turned his head and stopped looking at Teng Wu Yao. He then said indifferently: "That vein of the earth is near my clan, the Yue Clan, I want it." When he finished talking, the members of the Yue Clan gradually started moving and stood at every corner of the vein of the earth as if it already belonged to the Yue Clan, nobody else could have it.
He was calm, domineering and introverted but his voice was filled with sharpness, that was the head of the Yue Clan. The Yue Clan was mysterious, they rarely revealed themselves to the outside and rarely fought against other people, but the fact that they didn't fight didn't mean that they couldn't fight, when they fought, they didn't retreat from anyone, including the patriarch of the Wan Shou Sect. Even if the Wan Shou Sect had discovered the vein of the earth before the Yue Clan, what could they do? The Yue Clan didn't care about their opinion.
Lin Feng looked at the old man's white hair fluttering in the wind and sighed.
That was strength, if Lin Feng had been stronger than the Yue Clan and discovered the vein of the earth, who would have dared to say the vein wasn't his? As the discoverer of the vein, who would have dared to attempt to steal it?
Because he was weak, everybody that discovered the Qi well after him tried to steal it from him, on top of that the members of the Wan Shou Sect even tried to make him hand over his ring along with all his items and told him to get lost, otherwise they would kill him, that was the only choice they were giving him, a ridiculous choice.
All that mattered was strength.
Each and every single member of the Wan Shou Sect looked furious. How detestable, the members of the Yue Clan were really abominable. They had completely ignored the Wan Shou Sect.
"Yue Qing Shan." Said Teng Wu Yao while staring at the old man with the white hair. People who knew the old man's name were rare.
"I already said it, that vein of the earth is near my clan, it is thus ours, do you need me to repeat it over and over again?" Said Yue Qing Shan who didn't care about Wu Teng Ya's feelings, he rolled up his sleeves and, even though he was usually calm, released a powerful energy.
The atmosphere became deathly silent. Nobody spoke and the silence was oppressive.
Lin Feng smiled, the members of the Wan Shou Sect had thought that they would be able to steal the vein of the earth but the Yue Clan was stealing it from them, that was definitely due to their bad karma.
"Qing Shan, brother, what a temper!" At that moment, a voice spread through the air, it came from far in the distance. Immediately after, another group of people walked through the sky. They were all walking on condensed pure Qi, they all had the strength of the Xuan Qi layer and were moving in perfect formation.
The Yu Clan had arrived, it was suddenly becoming bustling and lively. Three powers of influence had arrived, they constituted some of the most influential groups in the Imperial City, they could turn the Imperial City upside down.
Very quickly, the Yu Clan arrived in the air above the well of pure Qi. When Lin Feng saw these people, coldness invaded his eyes. The Yu Clan and Lin Feng had a deep hatred.
He had killed Yu Tian Xing, and the third elder of the Yu Clan had died because of him. Those days, the Yu Clan really wanted to kill Lin Feng. This time, the people of the Yu Clan who had come were all extremely high-ranked members, their leader was a middle aged man, he looked majestic, he was the head of the clan: Yu Liu Shui.
Back in the past, when people talked about Yu Liu Shui and Yue Qing Shan, they used to call them Qing Shan and Liu Shui but those days, they rarely came out so people who addressed them that way were extremely rare.
Lin Feng sensed that Yu Liu Shui accidentally glanced at him and revealed his killing intent.
But in the end, Yu Liu Shui smiled indifferently.
"Teng Wu Yao, brother, you're wrong, the Yue Clan lives near this vein of the earth, they found it before you, since it's that way, it belongs to the Yue Clan in its entirety." Said Yu Liu Shui while smiling which stupefied everyone.
Yu Liu Shui was making Teng Wu Yao even more furious, the Wan Shou Sect had discovered that place before the Yue Clan.
"My Sect, the Wan Shou Sect found it in the first place." Said Teng Wu Yao in an ice-cold way, he looked furious.
Yu Liu Shui looked glum, he had arrived too late and couldn't steal the vein of the earth, but he was indirectly suggesting that if Teng Wu Yao had the opportunity to do so, he should.
"Whom do you want to kill?" Asked Yue Qing Shan.
"Him." Said Yu Liu Shui while pointing at Lin Feng with killing intent in his eyes.
"That person killed my fifth son and my third brother, I have to kill him." Said Yu Liu Shui while looking at Yue Qing Shan.
Yue Qing Shan frowned, it seemed like Yu Liu Shui had a few idea about Lin Feng's identity, but with the power and influence of the Yu clan, finding the clues wasn't too difficult.
"He's Lin Feng?" When Teng Wu Yao heard Yu Liu Shui, he was astonished. Those days, in the Imperial City, many people were talking about Lin Feng.
"Indeed." Said Yu Liu Shui while slightly nodding which made a cold expression appear on Teng Wu Yao's face.
Two old monsters wanted to kill Lin Feng.
Chapter 378: Who Wants To Kill Him?
Well, there is 2 possibilities. Either he saves him and we can expect some relations between him and the Yue Clan (plus the possible return of the mother with her husband in the clan). Or he doesn't save him and it's other there will be a Lin Clan enemy of the Yue Clan.
But for another reason I think he will save him. The enemies now are the patriarch of the Yu Clan (one of the 3 biggest ones) and the Monster school (one of the big factions). The only good way to Lin Feng to get out of there is his grandpa, the 2 other possibilities are the patriarch of the Duan Clan (but let's be serious, he doesn't have any reason to save him and probably doesn't like his relationship with the princess) or an Deus Ex Machina (that would be forced and stupid).
someone want to kill him ………..again……… why am i not surprised?
thanks for the chapter, is the site running slow for anyone else?
Yeah, the site is running slow to me too…but I don't care, I still try to force myself into this site just to read the chapters Lol.
Lin Feng is always the most wanted man, everywhere he go almost like everyone wanted to killed him…Sigh* What star did he born under to be fated with this kind of destiny Lol.
Thanks for the chapter notsaneinthebrain, Czapelski G, and Hakubruh!
Lin Feng you in trouble bro.
Go and freaking die muscle brain mc!


Our glass pipes are protected by aircraft grade aluminum. We use the aluminum alloy 6061-T6 to encase the glass components of all three types of our Pyptek pipes, which is very different from the softer and more malleable aluminum used to make beverage cans. Those cans are made from a lower 3000 series aluminum alloy.1 6061 aluminum is used for a number of different purposes due to its strength, heat treat-ability, easy machinability, and weldability. It is also receptive to anodizing, which adds an extra layer of protection to the finished product.2 For more detailed material specifications of 6061-T6's chemical, physical, and mechanical properties, refer to the property data specification at MatWeb.

80% of Jakarta projects unsafe, says official report
23 March 2018 | By GCR Staff | 0 Comments
As Indonesia faces a crisis in construction safety, the Jakarta Manpower and Transmigration Agency has found that most construction projects in the capital are unsafe.
An inspection of 35 projects conducted by the agency in November has found that up to 80% of them breached legal standards, with safety and health methodologies non-existent and untrained workers being the norm, in contravention of national regulations.
The revelation came after the Indonesian government ordered a halt to all major transport infrastructure schemes last month following a spate of serious site accidents.
It's not just infrastructure schemes plagued by safety issues: the latest construction accident occurred on Sunday (18 March) in South Jakarta when a woman was killed by a falling iron bar from an affordable apartment block project, reports The Jakarta Post.
"As much as 80% of the projects did not meet standards," said Khadik Triyanto, the Jakarta agency's head of manpower monitoring this week, reported the Post.
"A large number of projects also lack occupational safety and health [K3] structures, as well as standard operating procedures for its workers," Khadik added.
Inspectors found that many construction workers had permits and licenses, but were nevertheless unskilled.
The agency plans to deploy 43 supervisors to oversee and gather data on the projects.
"I will also invite high-risk contractors, so that we can see an improvement [in on-site safety]," he said.

Q: Finding the distance between two moving objects In this case there is a missile whose initial position is $A(30,40)$ with a velocity of $[50,30]$ and an asteroid whose initial position is $B(400,250)$ with a velocity of $[-20,-30]$. The position of each object is given by the equations $ \ a = [30,40] + t[50, 30] \ $ and $ \ b = [400,250] + t[-20,-30] \ $.
I need to explain why distance between these two at any time t is given by the equation $$d^2 \  = \  181000 \  - \ 77000 \ t \  +  \ 8500\ t^2 \ \ . $$ I know that the first term $18100$ is the distance between the two initial positions and that the final term is the distance traveled for each object but, what is the middle term?

A: as stated by @N.S.JOHN the terms specify the initial position, velocity with which they come together (since there's a negative sign) and at last the acceleration at which them come apart (since it's a positive sign).
To find those coeffiecients (181000, -77000, 8500) you'll need to do some vector algebra.
Let's assume that $a$ it's a vector-valued function of time that represents the movement of the missile so $\vec{a}(t) = [30, 40] + t[50,30]$. Let's represent the meteor movement $b$ in the same manner $\vec{b}(t) = [400, 250] + t[-20, -30]$. Since they are vectors in the $R^2$ vector space we can decompose each vector in their constituents components:
$\vec{a}(t) = a_x + a_y$ in which $a_x(t) = 30 + 50t$ and $a_y(t) = 40 + 30t$  corresponds to the horizontal and vertical movements of the missil respectively.
The same goes for the meteor:
$\vec{b}(t) = b_x + b_y$ in which $b_x(t) = 400 + 250t$ and $b_y(t) = -20 -30t$  corresponds to the horizontal and vertical movements of the meteor respectively.
Now we have all the pieces we need to measure the distance between both as a function of time:
$d(\vec{a}(t), \vec{b}(t)) = \sqrt{(a_x - b_x)^2 + (a_y - b_y)^2}$
$d^2(\vec{a}(t), \vec{b}(t)) = (a_x - b_x)^2 + (a_y - b_y)^2$
$d^2(\vec{a}(t), \vec{b}(t)) = (30 + 50t - (400 - 20t))^2 + (40 + 30t - (250 - 30t))^2$
$d^2(\vec{a}(t), \vec{b}(t)) = (370 - 70t)^2 + (210 - 60t)^2$
$d^2(\vec{a}(t), \vec{b}(t)) = 370^2 + 210^2 - 2 \times 370 \times 70t - 2 \times 210\times 60t + 70^2t^2 + 60^2t^2$
and finally:
$d^2(\vec{a}(t), \vec{b}(t)) = 181000 - 77000t + 8500t^2$
this you can simply (with some abuse of notation) to:
$d^2 = 181000 - 77000t + 8500t^2$

Q: C# member variable initialization; best practice? Is it better to initialize class member variables on declaration
private List<Thing> _things = new List<Thing>();
private int _arb = 99;

or in the default constructor?
private List<Thing> _things;
private int _arb;

public TheClass()
{
  _things = new List<Thing>();
  _arb = 99;
}

Is it simply a matter of style or are there performance trade-offs, one way or the other?

A: In terms of performance, there is no real difference; field initializers are implemented as constructor logic. The only difference is that field initializers happen before any "base"/"this" constructor.
The constructor approach can be used with auto-implemented properties (field initializers cannot) - i.e.
[DefaultValue("")]
public string Foo {get;set;}
public Bar() { // ctor
  Foo = "";
}

Other than that, I tend to prefer the field initializer syntax; I find it keeps things localized - i.e.
private readonly List<SomeClass> items = new List<SomeClass>();
public List<SomeClass> Items {get {return items;}}

I don't have to go hunting up and down to find where it is assigned...
The obvious exception is where you need to perform complex logic or deal with constructor parameters - in which case constructor-based initialization is the way to go. Likewise, if you have multiple constructors, it would be preferable for the fields to always get set the same way - so you might have ctors like:
public Bar() : this("") {}
public Bar(string foo) {Foo = foo;}

edit: as a side comment, note that in the above, if there are other fields (not shown) with field initializers, then they are only directly initialized in the constructors that call base(...) - i.e. the public Bar(string foo) ctor. The other constructor does not run field initializers, since it knows they are done by the this(...) ctor.

A: One major limitation with field initializers is that there's no way to wrap them in a try-finally block.  If an exception is thrown in a field initializer, any resources that were allocated in previous initializers will be abandoned; there's no way to prevent it.  Other errors in construction can be dealt with, if awkwardly, by having a protected base constructor accept an IDisposable by reference, and pointing it at itself as its very first operation.  One can then avoid calling the constructor except through factory methods which in case of exception will call Dispose on the partially-created object.  This protection will allow for cleanup of IDisposables created in derived-class initializers if the main-class constructor fails after "smuggling out" a reference to the new object.  Unfortunately, there's no way to provide such protection if a field initializer fails.

A: For instance variables, it is largely a matter of style (I prefer using a constructor). For static variables, there is a performance benefit to initializing inline (not always possible, of course).

A: Use either field initializers or create an Init() function.  The problem with putting these things in your constructor is that if you ever need to add a 2nd constructor, you end up with copy/paste code (or you overlook it and end up with uninitialized variables).
I would either initialize where declared.  Or have the constructor(s) call an Init() function.

A: Actually, field initializers as you demonstrate is a convenient shorthand. The compiler actually copies the initialization code into the beginning of each instance constructor that you define for your type.
This has two implications: first, any field initialization code is duplicated in each constructor and, second, any code you include in your constructors to initialize fields to specific values will in fact re-assign the fields.
So performance-wise, and with regards to compiled code size, you're better off moving field initializers into constructors.
On the other hand, the performance impact and code 'bloat' will usually be negligable, and the field initializer syntax has the important benefit of lessening the risk that you might forget to initialize some field in one of your constructors.

A: It's really up to you.
I often initialize them inline, cause I don't like having a constructor when I don't really need one (I like small classes !).

A: On added point to the above - You always have a constructor when implementing classes that have an implementation.  If you do not declare one then the default instructor is inferred by the compiler [public Foo(){}]; a constructor that takes no arguments.
Often times I like to offer both approaches.  Allow constructors for those that wish to use them and allow the Field Initializers for situations where you wish to use a simplified or default implementation of your class / type.  This adds flexibility to your code.  Keep in mind that anyone can use the default field initializer if they choose ... be sure to declare it manually if you offer more than one constructor - public Foo(){}

Community-engaged learning where we live, work, and study
Department of Management staff at the University of Toronto Scarborough connected with more than a dozen partner organizations across Scarborough on July 11, 2019 to learn directly from community stakeholders about the opportunities and challenges that shape service delivery in our region, and how the University can boost its capacity to uplift the city at large.
"At U of T Scarborough, we share the core values of inclusive excellence that we see reflected in the remarkable work our community partners do every day," said Christine Arsenault, Managing Director of the Department of Management at U of T Scarborough.
"Our goal is to recognize first-hand how Management staff, faculty, and students can help address the service gaps that our partner organizations face."
Together with colleagues from the U of T Scarborough Office of Community Development & Engagement, a total of 30 staff members comprising Management's administrative and co-op areas met with 13 Scarborough-based organizations including non-profits, health care providers, and government-run support agencies (full list below). Over the years, each organization has partnered to varying degrees with the University to support community-engaged education, health, and wellness programs.
"We know that local service organizations are grappling with funding and staff constraints in addition to a burgeoning need for research assistance, data analytics, and accounting support. U of T Scarborough is well positioned to provide resources and expertise in those areas," said Sischa Maharaj, Assistant Director of External Relations and Communications in the Department of Management at U of T Scarborough.
"With our commitment to one hundred per cent of Management students participating in a Work Integrated Learning experience before they graduate, we will continue to strategize about innovative ways that our academic and co-curricular programming can help solve real-world problems. Sharing ideas and resources allows us all—students, faculty, staff, and community partners—to learn from one another while building a more sustainable, inclusive, and healthy Scarborough."
Partnering with the Toronto East Quadrant - Local Immigration Partnership (TEQLIP), Management students have consulted with over 40 newcomer agencies in the Scarborough area who were tracking activities in a variety of formats with little ability to obtain on overall sense of newcomer activity and services in East Toronto. The Department of Management leveraged courses, faculty expertise, and co-op student positions to design and deliver a common platform that has successfully collected, aggregated, and anonymized over 90,000 records of refugees and newcomers in the GTA. Management students will continue to collect and analyze this data in order to generate a Scarborough Newcomers Needs and Trends Report that will assist in anticipating services and future trends, improve access to funding for these services, and support community advocacy work.
"We aim to be transformational in our approach to cultivating partnerships, rather than transactional. The experience of meeting face-to-face with community leaders and service providers is an integral part of that process. We look forward to continuing, and growing, our partnerships throughout Scarborough," Arsenault said.

Kenya Rugby League Federation Gets a New Logo
The Kenya Rugby League Federation finally has a new logo. This is a culmination of a five weeks long logo search competition that attracted a total of 456 entries from both local and foreign-based graphic designers.
The competition kicked off on 14th July running till the 30th of July 2020, is the open window for participants to enter their creative works. The entries were rigorously reviewed, evaluated and scrutinized to carefully select and shortlist the top ten (10) logo entries.
The second and the last stage of the process involved the members of the Public, by subjecting the ten shortlisted logos to a one-week (12th – 17 August 2020) online voting process to choose the favorite and ultimate KRLF logo.
"We decided to involve the members of the public as a way of introducing the Kenya Rugby League Federation brand to the wider public. Secondly to make it more inclusive, Public being our potential fan base and very crucial stakeholders of the game". Says Quicks Nyakwaka Chairman KRLF.
"We are glad the winning logo has been decided upon by Kenyans who deemed it fit to participate and help make the right choice bringing out the true Kenyan spirit of "UMOJA NI NGUVU" and we sincerely thank them for their time and resources". Added Nyakwaka.
According to Homeboyz Entertainment Ltd, Sports Director Eric Ngure "The winning logo met all the attributes KRLF was looking for by being internationally recognized as uniquely Kenyan. "Kenyans who took part have spoken loud and clear, their opinion in the logo examination was vital hence the campaign being dubbed "You be the judge, select the best".
The contestants were expected to think outside the box, be creative enough to come up with a logo that is original, novel, and capture the colors of the Kenyan National flag. Also, the logo was to represent strength, courage, sturdiness, and speed as the key attributes and spirit of the game.
The eventual winner will next week collect a cash prize of Khs 50,000 as a token of appreciation.
KRLF is in the process of structuring, streamlining, and branding all in readiness for maiden Rugby League season kick-off.

ELCA Presiding Bishop, Christian Leaders Issue statement Against Christian Nationalism
The Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), has joined Christian leaders in a statement against Christian nationalism.
"Whether we worship at a church, mosque, synagogue, or temple, America has no second-class faiths," their statement reads. "All are equal under the U.S. Constitution."
You are invited to join the ELCA and more than 10,000 Christians from across the country in standing up to Christian Nationalism. Read more and sign the statement.
The full statement follows:
As Christians, our faith teaches us everyone is created in God's image and commands us to love one another. As Americans, we value our system of government and the good that can be accomplished in our constitutional democracy. Today, we are concerned about a persistent threat to both our religious communities and our democracy — Christian nationalism.
Christian nationalism seeks to merge Christian and American identities, distorting both the Christian faith and America's constitutional democracy. Christian nationalism demands Christianity be privileged by the State and implies that to be a good American, one must be Christian. It often overlaps with and provides cover for white supremacy and racial subjugation. We reject this damaging political ideology and invite our Christian brothers and sisters to join us in opposing this threat to our faith and to our nation.
As Christians, we are bound to Christ, not by citizenship, but by faith. We believe that:
People of all faiths and none have the right and responsibility to engage constructively in the public square.
Patriotism does not require us to minimize our religious convictions.
One's religious affiliation, or lack thereof, should be irrelevant to one's standing in the civic community.
Government should not prefer one religion over another or religion over nonreligion.
Religious instruction is best left to our houses of worship, other religious institutions and families.
America's historic commitment to religious pluralism enables faith communities to live in civic harmony with one another without sacrificing our theological convictions.
Conflating religious authority with political authority is idolatrous and often leads to oppression of minority and other marginalized groups as well as the spiritual impoverishment of religion.
We must stand up to and speak out against Christian nationalism, especially when it inspires acts of violence and intimidation—including vandalism, bomb threats, arson, hate crimes, and attacks on houses of worship—against religious communities at home and abroad.
Whether we worship at a church, mosque, synagogue, or temple, America has no second-class faiths. All are equal under the U.S. Constitution. As Christians, we must speak in one voice condemning Christian nationalism as a distortion of the gospel of Jesus and a threat to American democracy.

Q: Evaluating: $\int \frac{t}{\cos{t}} dt$ How would you evaluate the following indefinite integral? In fact, I did evaluate
$\int \frac{\cos{t}}{t} dt$ by parametric integration and then I thought of this variant.
$$\int \frac{t}{\cos{t}} dt$$
Here you may find the result given by W|A.

A: Let's start with $\ \displaystyle f(x):=\log(\tan(x/2))\ $ then :
$$f'(x)=\frac{\tan(x/2)^2+1}{2\tan(x/2)}=\frac{\sin(x/2)^2+\cos(x/2)^2}{2\cos(x/2)^2\tan(x/2)}=\frac 1{\sin(x)}$$
so that $\ f'\left(t+\frac {\pi}2\right)=\dfrac 1{\cos(t)}$.
We want (ignoring integration constants up to the end) :
$$\int \dfrac t{\cos(t)}\,dt=\int tf'\left(t+\frac {\pi}2\right) dt=\left[tf\left(t+\frac {\pi}2\right)\right]-\int f\left(t+\frac {\pi}2\right)\,dt$$
Setting $\ u:=\tan\bigl(\frac x2\bigr)\ $ so that $\ dx=\dfrac {2\;du}{1+u^2}$ we rewrite the integral of $f$ as :
$$\int f(x)\;dx=\int \log\left(\tan\left(\frac x2\right)\right)\;dx=2\int \frac{\log(u)}{1+u^2}\;du$$
$$=\left[2\log(u)\arctan(u)\right]-2\int \frac {\arctan(u)}u\,du=2\left[\log(u)\arctan(u)-\rm{Ti}_2(u)\right]$$ with $\rm{Ti}_2$ the inverse tangent integral proposed by J.M. (see Lewin 1981 "Polylogarithms and associated functions" ch. 2 for more information). $\rm{Ti}_2$ may be rewritten as Clausen functions or as complex polylogarithms.
We want $\ \int f\bigl(t+\frac {\pi}2\bigr)\,dt\ $ so that $\ u:=\tan\bigl(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\bigr)\ $
and
$$\int f\left(t+\frac {\pi}2\right)\,dt=2\left[\log\left(\tan\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)\right)\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)-\rm{Ti}_2\left(\tan\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)\right)\right]$$
getting :
$$\int \dfrac t{\cos(t)}\,dt=t\left[\log\left(\tan\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)\right)\right]-2\left[\log\left(\tan\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)\right)\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)-\rm{Ti}_2\left(\tan\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)\right)\right]$$
and finally :
$$\int_0^t \dfrac x{\cos(x)}\,dx=-\frac {\pi}2\log\left(\tan\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)\right)+2\rm{Ti}_2\left(\tan\left(\frac t2+\frac {\pi}4\right)\right)+C$$
where the additional constant $\ C=-2\;\rm{Ti}_2(1)=-2K\quad$ ($K$ is the Catalan constant).
To rewrite this with Clausen functions we may use (4.31) of Lewin's reference :
$$\rm{Ti}_2(\tan \theta)=\theta\log(\tan\theta)+\frac 12\left(\rm{Cl}_2(2\theta)-\rm{Cl}_2(\pi-2\theta)\right)$$

A: Note that
$$
\frac{1}{\cos t}=
\frac{2}{e^{it}+e^{-it}}=
\frac{2e^{it}}{1+e^{2it}}
$$
so integration by parts gives
$$
\int\frac{t}{\cos t}dt=
\int 2t\frac{e^{it}}{1+e^{2it}}dt=
\int 2t\frac{(-i)d(e^{it})}{1+e^{2it}}=
\int -2itd(\arctan(e^{it}))=
$$
$$
-2it\arctan(e^{it})-\int\arctan(e^{it})d(-2it)=
-2it\arctan(e^{it})+2i\int\arctan(e^{it})dt
$$
It is remains to compute the last integral
$$
\int\arctan(e^{it})dt=
\int\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^k(e^{it})^{2k+1}}{2k+1}dt=
\int\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(ie^{it})^{2k+1}}{i(2k+1)}dt=
\int\frac{1}{2i}\left(\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(ie^{it})^k}{k}-
\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(-ie^{it})^k}{k}\right)dt=
\frac{1}{2i}\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\int\frac{(ie^{it})^k}{k}dt-
\frac{1}{2i}\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\int\frac{(-ie^{it})^k}{k}dt=
$$
$$
\frac{1}{2i}\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(ie^{it})^k}{ik^2}-
\frac{1}{2i}\sum\limits_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(-ie^{it})^k}{ik^2}=
\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathrm{Li}_2(-ie^{it})-\mathrm{Li}_2(ie^{it})\right)
$$
The final result is
$$
\int\frac{t}{\cos t}=-2it\arctan(e^{it})+i(\mathrm{Li}_2(-ie^{it})-\mathrm{Li}_2(ie^{it}))
$$


Cases Network welcomes case reports from all areas of health care, and we're pleased with how many cases are submitted from the fields of dentistry and oral medicine.
A great case report on treatment for severe wearing of the teeth caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease and bruxism in a 54-year-old Turkish man. Here, the authors describe how the maxillary and mandibular anterior and posterior teeth were prepared for metal-ceramic restorations.
In many adults with periodontal disease the positioning of teeth prevents proper cleaning. This case report gives an interdisciplinary (periodontic, orthodontic, restorative) approach for treatment.
Cantore et al. report the case of a rare horizontal radicular fracture located between the middle- and apical-third of the upper left-central incisors followed-up over 4 years.
A 23-year-old Turkish woman with malaligned anterior teeth was rehabilitated with ceramic veneers due to her rejection of orthodontic treatment. Türkaslan and Ulusoy describe how ceramic veneers can be an alternative treatment to orthodontic therapy.
If you are interested in reviewing dental case reports for either journal, please get in touch!

Axius (Ancient Greek: ) was a Paeonian river god, the son of Oceanus and Tethys. He was the father of Pelagon, by Periboea, daughter of Acessamenus. His domain was the river Axius, or Vardar, in Macedonia (region).

The river god was an ancestor of Euphemus and his son, Eurybarus, the hero who slew the drakaina Sybaris.

Many Northerners have thought about the benefits of starting a business, but are you really ready for the changes it will bring in your life? How much risk are you willing to take?
The decision to get into business is one that only you can make. The level of risk that you may feel comfortable with may be too great for someone else. This handbook will not help you assess your personal tolerance for taking risks, but it will take you step-by-step through the major decisions you must make in bringing your business idea from vision to reality.
Why do you want to get into business?
Your confidence in your idea.
Your willingness to accept the hard work and long hours necessary for success.
Before setting the wheels in motion, it is important for you to evaluate your reasons for getting into business and your capabilities.
Running a business requires skills in management, organization, accounting, marketing and economics. Few managers possess all of these skills. You must carefully review your own strengths and weaknesses and develop strategies for getting help where you need it.
Decide on the level of risk you are willing to assume.
Understand the consequences of that choice.
Being your own boss can offer great personal satisfaction, but with it comes the responsibility for making decisions and living with the consequences. The right decision offers profit and success. The wrong decision can cost you – and others who have helped you to get into business. Wrong decisions can put you out of business.
Do I have enough experience in my choice of business and, if not, how do I obtain it?
Am I a risk taker? Do I understand the implications of my decision?
Should I maintain my current employment or will my business provide enough income to meet my needs?
Is my family supportive and understanding?
The amount of money you are willing to put at risk.
You will need to invest capital (money, property and effort) in your business. You may need to sell some of your personal assets to obtain the cash needed to start your business. In undertaking this assessment, you must determine your net assets: what you own less what you owe.
If you plan to continue working somewhere else while starting your business, do not forget to include the money you will earn in your income calculations.
Too high or too low pricing.
Too much or too little inventory.
Overspending on buildings and equipment.
Giving credit to the wrong customers.
Lack of supportive and capable staff.
Expecting too much, too fast.
Talking to people. Meet with potential clients to discuss your idea and what they want as customers.
Looking at the industry leader. If there are others in your business within your community or in other communities that are particularly successful, see what they are doing right.
Considering playing it safer by doing your idea on a small scale.
Educating yourself in bookkeeping, marketing, people management, business management, accounting and computers.
Making sure you have up-to-date knowledge about regulations that may affect you.
Working for another business like the one you want to start.
Reducing start-up costs by starting a home-based business on a part-time or full-time basis.
Getting professional financial, employment, marketing and legal advice before you start.

Q: Robotium and Sherlock - NoClassDefFoundError I've got problems with test in my project. I've got configured dependencies correctly but I can't run tests using Robotium. When my activity extends just Activity - everything is fine, when I add "extends SherlockActivity" then I got
java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception during suite construction
at android.test.suitebuilder.TestSuiteBuilder$FailedToCreateTests.testSuiteConstructionFailed(TestSuiteBuilder.java:238)

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.calculator.Main (example project from Robotium www).

I have tried to run test in Intellij and Eclipse. Both IDE gave same results.
Edit: It's my manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.calculator.test"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">

    <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />
    </application>
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
    <instrumentation android:targetPackage="com.calculator" android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner" />
</manifest>

A: It looks like you compiled your class with correct dependencies but did not specify them at runtime. As both IntelliJ and Eclipse should use the same configuration for run like compile, the question is: how did you run the test?

A: it is not problem with any editor you used.
here is general syntax to start any activity from adb shell:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName

So, when you call any activity from robotium it must " extends Activity ".
and " extends SherlockActivity " is not work with robotium because of above syntax required Activity name only. So if you extends any other thing it will not work.
Note :
[1] first try to open your activity with syntax bellow
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.calculator/com.calculator.Main

here " Main " is activity in your package " com.calculator ".
[2] if this work for you then and then it will work for robotium.
i hope this concept will help you. thanks.


This page explains how to create moving platforms in the TopDown Engine.
Creating moving platforms in the TopDown Engine is very simple, yet there are a lot you can do with them, and a lot of ways to tweak them to your unique needs. For examples of moving platforms, you can check the bottom right room of the KoalaDungeon demo level. There's also one in the MinimalSandbox3D scene.
Add a MovingPlatform2D or MovingPlatform3D component to your object.
First of all there's the Path section. You can first decide on a Cycle Option. You can select Back and Forth (it'd go 1 > 2 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 2 etc), Loop (1 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 2…), and Only Once (1 > 2 > 3). Then there's the loop initial movement direction, which depending on your choice will start the movement either with the first (ascending) or last (descending) point in the path. And then of course there's the actual Path Elements where you'll need to specify an array's size. From there, you can either enter the points coordinates, or simply drag and position the little handles that appeared next to your platform to the position of your choice.
Once you're happy with their placement, you can go back to the inspector, and set the Movement Speed and Acceleration Type. The MinDistanceToGoal field is best left to its default value but feel free to change it if necessary.

This work provides information pertaining to the performance of Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) microdosimeters in heavy ion radiation fields. SOI microdosimeters have been previously tested in light ion radiation fields for both space and therapeutic applications, however their response has not been established in high energy, heavy ion radiation fields which are experienced in space. Irradiations were completed at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory at BNL using 0.6 GeV/u Fe and 1.0 GeV/u Ti ions. Energy deposition and lineal energy spectra were obtained with this device at various depths within a Lucite phantom along the central axis of the beam. The response of which was compared with existing proportional counter data to assess the applicability of SOI microdosimeters to future deployments in space missions.

With the first new weight-loss drug to be approved in 13 years, dieters have a new weapon against obesity. Is it for you?
Wonder why it's so hard to keep the weight off? Take another look at your diet.
Researchers say that rising rates of overweight and obesity — especially in the U.S. — will threaten the world's food security and environmental resources.
Obese kids face a multitude of social and health problems, and now a new study from the University of Missouri finds that being overweight may even affect kids' performance in math.
Overweight women may suffer from the stigma of obesity even after they drop the pounds, a recent study found, suggesting that anti-fat prejudice may outlast obesity itself.
A new study finds that the single biggest influence on kids' physical activity levels is the exercise habits of their closest friends.


Firstly, let's remind ourselves why you should at all care about this post series. Why do I care so much about making people aware of the dimensions? Why do they matter? Why having such knowledge is beneficial to you? In my mind, discussion about cultural dimensions, stereotypes and cultural differences provide a very good start to understanding how various cultures function. They provide a framework that allows you to put your initial thoughts in order, make sense out of them and be able to discuss the topic with other people using the same terminology. Of course just one theory is never exhaustive and should not be treated as one and only truth. But you gotta start somewhere to be able to slowly notice how much you still don't know and identify the areas where you still need to explore some more.
Cultural dimensions – are they useless?
Meyer identified a couple of scales, with two dimensions each, thanks to which you can create quite a comprehensive view on what to expect when interacting with people from a given culture. The fact that one country is in a certain place on the scale does not mean anything until it is compared with another culture. It's all relative. The position of one culture on any of the scales should always be treated in relation to the culture you compare it with. You can find examples of what this means in specific articles dedicated to each scale. I also shared some examples that appeared in the book as well as personal ones deriving from my international experiences.
-> Useful to consider when you work in an international team where feedback is a valuable development tool. It is good to establish what is the best way to give feedback that increases the chances of actually taking it on board.
-> Useful to consider when managing an international team (or being managed), especially in terms of what is considered as an authority in a given culture and what kinds of behaviour gain respect. The goal as with everything else is to get the best out of the team you're working with!
-> Useful to consider when either managing a diverse team or working with a client. It's good to understand how decisions are made in a culture you're working with to avoid misunderstandings and be able to pick a good time to present your input into the decision-making process.
-> Useful to know how trust is based and considered in various cultures, in many places trust means something more than just trusting someone will get their work done.
-> Definitely consider it together with the deciding scale to get the full picture of the discussions that might come up during brainstorming meetings and how they might be managed to give everyone the same chance for having an input.
-> Easy to understand given the famous stereotypes about certain cultures. Relatively easy to get used to as well when you have that understanding.
The above suggestions are of course slightly generalised to facilitate broad understanding of the theory in place, but do have a look at all the above articles to learn some more about various approaches that can be met around the world.
Meyer's theory is not the only one out there, but certainly the one that is helpful in business as it was researched and developed in a business environment. Let me know if you'd like to learn more about some other approaches or theories that attempt to classify cultures and provide frameworks for discussions. Happy to start a new cycle to share that knowledge!
Is there any particular issue that you find difficult to deal with when working with a culture different from the one you were brought up in? What tools or approaches helped you go past the differences and embrace the similarities when working across cultures?


The city of Shimla is a throwback to a time gone by. For most people visiting from their metropolitan cities, filled with traffic fumes and deadlines of work, the slow languid pace of the city startles them at first. The sights of the undulating hills in the distance begins to work its magic and soon you will want to visit Shimla again and again. But Shimla is also a city that is deeply involved in its traditions and cultures and if you were to visit during a Shimla festival, you will see how much the people love celebrations.
There are plenty of fairs and festivals that constitute the events in Shimla, and should you be lucky enough to visit the city during this time, you will experience a very different side to the city. Shimla also celebrates several festivals that are celebrated in other parts of India too, such as Christmas, Lohri, Baisakhi and Diwali to name a few. Here are some of the Shimla festivals that you should not miss!
Excited about visiting Shimla? Then do take a look at SOTC for some excellent offers and deals on Shimla tour packages and Himachal tour packages.
Held every year in May, the festival is colourful and grand and brings together several talented people who set up the event. People gather together and sing and celebrate and there are several stalls for handicrafts as well.
This festival is celebrated during the monsoon, and it is especially significant because people here want to please the rain gods to ensure proper rains. Since people depend upon agriculture for their living, rain is very crucial for them.
Since Shimla is said to have the largest natural ice-skating rink and thanks to the snowfall that takes place during winters, the winter carnival is a great time to enjoy the deliciously cold snow and the many delights it brings.

Projects as a strong skating center with good jump in his stride. A playmaker who passes the puck well and plays at times close to the edge. He is learning to be a better defensive center, and is committed to all-around improvement of his game, including his shot and offensive abilities.


Every member of the Simpsons family and every character on the show is kind of dumb and quite bad at their job. People all over relate to that. I have cops come up to me all the time and ask me if we have cops that write for the show because our chief of police, Wiggum, is so inept. There's something universal in all of us that think we know more and can do better than our bosses.
Q. How is writing for animated characters different than writing jokes for live television characters?
One of the best lessons I learned from my colleagues is how important it is to bring emotions into the characters. It is not enough to have solid storylines and good jokes. The characters need to be believable and generate empathy from the viewers. It is ironic that it took me writing for cartoons to bring human emotions into my work.
Q. What can people expect from your program?
I'm bringing an episode from our third season that is one of our most popular shows. It is called, "Like Father, Like Clown" and has many Jewish themes, guests and references. It is actually a parody of "The Jazz Singer." I'll also have clips from other shows I've been involved with including, "Queer Duck" and "The Critic."
Q. What's in store for "The Simpsons" in the future?
You know it's exciting that we recently aired our 500th episode, but for many of us it's like just another day at work. The production time is so far out that we are working a year in advance on the show. It's still fresh; it's still fun.

YORK � A magnificent era of golf has ended for the Central Valley girls. It came to a close when they collected more gold at the PIAA Championships.
One day after Macky Fouse won the individual state title, the Warriors repeated as team champs.
Since Fouse�s freshman season when she assumed the team�s No. 1 position, Central Valley has won four straight WPIAL Class AA titles and the last two PIAA titles.
But on Wednesday, Fouse teed it for up the last time and passed on the torch to sophomore Maddy McDanel. Of the 24 girls representing five teams in the Class AA final, only two were able to break 90 on a chilly, windy day at Heritage Hills Golf Course.
That would be Fouse and McDanel, who carded 7-over 79s.
Rounding out Central Valley�s team total of 344 were senior Marissa Sudar (90) and freshman Alex Bozich (96). Sudar, who�s also been a starter since her freshman year, had the third-best round Wednesday.
Finishing a distant second was Villa Maria at 387.
With Fouse having made a verbal commitment to Seton Hall, that makes three players coached by Larry Milosh who�ve secured major-college scholarship over the years. The others were Samantha Milosh, the coach�s daughter, who went to St. Francis (Pa.), and Annie Bozich, who�s a now senior at Robert Morris.
How McDanel and her teammates fare next year could depend on where they end in the next two-year realignment.
Pending PIAA enrollment figures which come out in November, there�s a chance Central Valley will move up to Class AAA.
The past two years, the Warriors were the largest of 17 WPIAL AA programs with an enrollment of 309 girls in grades 9 through 11. The WPIAL�s two smallest AAA girls golf programs were Hopewell (319) and Blackhawk (315).
But for the next two-year period, Hopewell will probably drop down with 278 girls. Blackhawk projects to remain in Class AAA with 321 girls.
With 311 girls, Central Valley could be on the bubble.
After all, the PIAA maximum for AA participation for girls golf in the current alignment is 314. That number could move up a little or go down some.
On Wednesday after watching his team receive more gold medals and another state championship trophy, Milosh wasn�t concerned about the future. He was savoring another milestone for Centra Valley�s amazing girls golf program.


Usually when my kids make a mess of things with their disobedience, they immediately start trying to obey, clean up their mess or fix the problem….especially if punishment is forthcoming. But some problems can't be fixed once the damage is done. Even if your kid hates it that grandma's vase got broken and is really, really sorry it doesn't cause the vase to become unbroken. Disobedience can't be undone. It can be forgiven. But the consequences don't go away.
"Then you confessed, 'We have sinned against the Lord! We will go into the land and fight for it, as the Lord our God has commanded us.' So your men strapped on their weapons, thinking it would be easy to attack the hill country. But the Lord told me to tell you, 'Do not attack, for I am not with you. If you go ahead on your own, you will be crushed by your enemies.' This is what I told you, but you would not listen. Instead, you again rebelled against the Lord's command and arrogantly went into the hill country to fight. But the Amorites who lived there came out against you like a swarm of bees. They chased and battered you all the way from Seir to Hormah.
The bottom line is that disobedience can't be undone. And delayed obedience isn't really obedience at all. It's still disobedience. If we are good parents then we teach our children to obey and there are consequences when they don't. God is a good Father and He intends for us to obey as well.
Perhaps there is something He desires for you to do. Even if it seems difficult or you are afraid, don't let that stand in the way of obeying Him. Disobedience can't be undone.

Pope John Paul II was in an airplane on the way to Toronto for the World Youth Day celebration. With him are four other people: President George Bush, Prime Minister Chretien (Canada's Prime Minister), President Joseph Estrada (kunyari ay president pa siya) and a 10 year old boy attending the World Youth Day celebration.
Midway through their flight, the plane had an engine malfunction. The pilot told his five passengers that the plane was about to crash and that there were only four parachutes available to his passengers. One of them will not be able to make it alive.
President Bush grabbed one of the parachutes and said "I'm sorry, Gentlemen, but I'm the President of the most powerful country in the world. My people can not afford to loose me!". He jumped from the airplane.
Prime Minster Chretien grabbed the second parachute and said, "I'm sorry too Gentlemen, but Canada is hosting the World Youth Day, they need me badly" and jumped.
President Erap then told the two remaining passengers: "Very sorry, your Holiness, but I have too many wives and children to feed... They needed me badly too..". He grabbed a parachute and jumped.
"But Pope, we still have two parachutes left," the little boy answered.
"The President of the Philippines grabbed my backpack and jumped!".

Обожавање је чин религијске посвећености (девоције) углавном усмерене према божанству. Чин обожавања се може изводити индивидуално, или у неформалној или формалној групи, или преко одређеног вође. Такви чинови су и штовање на разне начине (један је заједничка молитва у некој форми, нпр. намаз).

Обожавати означава чињење молитве или одређене врсте обреда божанству, али и сматрање чега идолом и/или култом; представља синоним речи богослужје и клањање. Сва ова значења термина се своде на једно: дизање ентитета који се разматра на степен божанства од свега оног што се уопштено сматра божанством — осећањима, речју тј. делом.

У савременом друштву и социологији, неки аутори коментаришу начине на које људи више не обожавају препозната божанства него и (или уместо тога) обожавају потрошачке брендове, спортске тимове и друге људе (селебретије / познате личности). Социологија стога проширује овај аргумент да би се сугерисало да је ван религије обожавање процес у којем друштво обожава себе, као облик самовалоризације (самовредновања) и самоочувања. У муслиманском свету, реч обожавање (у дословном контексту обожавања) забрањено је користити ако се односи на неки објекат или радњу а не искључиво на Алаха.

'Leave bus passes alone': PAACL
Province 'promoting poverty' with cuts to Persons With Disabilities' bus passes.
Karly Blats
Mar. 10, 2016 6:00 a.m.
Susan Waldie
A Port Alberni advocacy group was shocked when they heard the Government of British Columbia declared a cut to the annual bus pass program for those receiving Persons with Disabilities (PWD) benefits on the heels of an increase to monthly benefits.
On Feb. 16 the B.C. government announced a monthly increase, beginning Sept.1, of $77 to people receiving disability benefits—the first increase in nine years. At the same time, changes for PWD clients who access a subsidized annual bus pass, was introduced: cancelling the $45 a year bus pass and replacing it with a new monthly fee of $52 plus a $45 administration fee. The disability pension for people living in B.C. is $906 a month.
Susan Waldie, Liz Riddalls and Craig Summers, board members of the Port Alberni Association for Community Living (PAACL), are concerned with the government's decision to claw back transportation support for those receiving disability pensions.
"When you've had a bus pass for $45 a year and now it's going to be $52 a month, I mean just think of the ramifications of that," Riddalls said. "[PWD] don't have money to spare to begin with, it's ridiculous."
Craig Summers, executive director at PAACL, said the group strives to support PWD individuals in community inclusion. With the new $45 a month bus pass charge he questions how the people they serve will access the community and resources that are available to them.
"They don't have a drivers' license so they rely on public transportation," Summers said.
"Now they have to choose between, do I get a bus pass or do I get an extra bag of groceries. Or do I stop going to programs?"
The group unanimously agreed that with the cost of living on the rise, those trying to survive on disability pensions could slide deeper into poverty, trying to live on their $906 a month.
People on disability assistance who access a subsidized annual bus pass will see an increase of $25 per month and those who do not receive transportation supports will receive the full $77 increase to their monthly cheque.
A release from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation stated that "around half" of B.C. residents with a PWD designation had access to the subsidized pass, or to a $66-per-month special transportation subsidy.
The government's announcement prompted Susan Waldie, who is a parent to two sons receiving PWD pensions, to write a letter to Premier Christy Clark urging her to raise the rates for PWD clients and leave their bus passes alone.
"We want to keep this on the forefront," Waldie said. "Even if [the government] gives them the full $77, it's nowhere near what they need to keep up with the cost of living."
Waldie said government representatives did not discuss the monthly bus pass increase with any poverty reduction teams prior to implementing the transportation clawback.
"There was no consultation with any of the individuals who are on the poverty reduction team, none of them," Waldie said.
"They didn't talk to mental health, they didn't talk to community living or the disability caucus. There was no consultation, it was a slap in the face."
Scott Fraser, MLA for Alberni-Pacific Rim, said this region has some of the highest poverty rates in the country and that, in his opinion, "government is engineering poverty for a large segment of the population through their tax policy."
Fraser read segments of Waldie's letter in the B.C. Legislature on March 2 to shed light on the struggles that could sprout for those who will be affected by the $45-a-month bus pass rate.
"I thought I've got to help [PAACL]. They're taking the step to highlight the unfairness of this government, I've got to do my part in this legislature," Fraser said.
British Columbia's PWD benefits are among the lowest in Canada, said Waldie.
"This from the province boasting prosperity."

Boardwalk Empire: Learning Curve
Our bloodied friend from the end of last episode has made it to the hospital, where he's being wheeled on a gurney past Eli and some of his officers. Eli goes out to the hall to meet Nucky, who's coming in with Jimmy, and Nucky asks how the guy can possibly still be alive after being outside in the cold for three days. Eli shrugs that the guy was fat, and insulated, although the gaping abdominal wound we just saw the poor sap sporting didn't look like insulation to me. Jimmy lamely says that they thought they killed all the members of the Criminal Convoy, and Nucky mockingly calls him Aristotle and says Jimmy better hope the guy dies real soon.
In a fairly industrial part of town, a horse-drawn hearse is being driven slowly past some warehouses. A kid throws open the door to one of them and the hearse drives right in. Nucky and the black guy we saw impatiently waiting to see him in episode 1 (Chalky White—heh) meets it and Chalky's guys open the hearse and start unloading the crates of Canadian Club contained therein. After Chalky threatens his men with bodily harm should a drop of liquor go missing, he and Nucky start talking business. Chalky says he should be able to mix up the liquor pretty well—get 3,000 bottles of diluted stuff from the 500 bottles of pure. Nucky offers a 80-20 split in profits wherein he'll supply the product and Chalky will work his magic. Chalky observes that's a lot of magic for just 20%. Nucky shoots back that that's the same deal he gave Mickey the Moron, which turns out to be a mistake, because Chalky offers a 60-40 split, just because Nucky actually thought Chalky would take the same deal as Mickey. They agree on a 65-35 split.

Boardwalk Empire: Guys and Dolls
Only the second episode of the season, and we can already celebrate the impending season 2. Guess the millions and millions of dollars that were spent on the pilot weren't enough to give HBO pause (a fact for which I'm quite thankful). I'm sure the nearly 5 million viewers who tuned in for the first episode helped.
In snowy Chicago, the funeral for Colosimo is underway. An enormous crowd has gathered in front of the church to watch as the coffin is carried out. A gang of reporters pushes to the front of the crowd and asks Torrio about the hit. Torrio tells the reporters Colosimo was killed in a robbery, even though nothing was taken. The coffin is loaded into a hearse, along with a giant wreath from Nucky.

Boardwalk Empire: Let's Run Away to Atlantic City
Well, the poll takers have spoken, and Boardwalk Empire it is! I've been pretty excited about this show since it was announced—I'm obviously a sucker for historical dramas, and I feel a certain connection to this show for a couple of reasons. First off, I'm a Jersey girl myself, and it's nice to see a depiction of my home state that does not include fake tans and claw-like fingernails (not that a show about Prohibition-era gangsters puts the Garden State in such a great light). Second—I have a family connection to this time and place. My great-grandfather had some cousins who made their living on the wrong side of the law during the Prohibition period. He went to visit them in AC once, at a restaurant they worked out of, and one of them asked him to open the kitchen door to admit some guests. One of those guests? Al Capone. According to family legend. At that point, my great-grandpa hit the road and stopped having anything to do with those cousins, at least one of whom later disappeared. Yay, family history!

While WordPress adds many useful CSS classes and IDs to li and ul tags within menus, for some reason it adds nothing to li tags that have other lists nestled within them. This is unfortunate, as it's impossible to add some kind of indicator (e.g. a background image) to help users know which menu items contain deeper levels of navigation.


Same great design, fit and technology as Drymax's standard trail sock but for those seeking a lighter weight feel and a mini crew ankle cut.
To prevent dirt and debris from getting inside the traditional vents have been eliminated. Air gets in for cooling but trail grime stays out!
Double welted leg has extra padding around the ankle. This extra padding protects the leg, and seals the top of the shoe to keep out dirt & debris.
Dual Layer Moisture Elimination System actually removes sweat, sweat vapors, and water from the skin through the inner Drymax layer to the outer absorbent layer. An added bonus is the double welt top is made of Drymax fibers to repel water, so when a runner splashes through a creek, the top of the socks stay dry.
Light+ density protective padded sock. Dense padding is used, as opposed to thick padding, as it protects feet without adversely affecting the fit of the shoes.
Flat toe seam, vented arch band, and Y-heel optimizes the fit.


Do you love technology…a little too much?
Hopefully you won't take offense to this post! I love my smart phone, and I'm even one of those strange people who only really uses it for a phone and to text! You see I work from my office, which happens to be in my home, so I have access to my computer almost 24/7.
All I'm getting at is that even though your phone is great, and you can keep up to the minute on everything going on in the world….don't miss what is going on right around you. Is your dog wanting to cuddle? Is your teenager telling you what happened today at school? If so, are you subtly (or not so subtly) ignoring them in order to look at your phone? Don't even get me started on ignoring aging parents!
At the risk of sounding cheesy, this moment won't happen again. These times with those you love just won't come around so often anymore…and you can bet you'll miss it when they're gone!
