Nothing too crazy going on here, except deliciousness.
This is an easy one, and a crowd pleaser.
I love buying Brussels sprouts on the stalk. How come I never saw that until about 3 years ago?
Trader Joe's sells them for $3.49 for the whole stalk, a bargain if you ask me.
This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving.
Start by cooking your bacon. Once it is crispy and the fat is rendered, remove it to paper towels to drain. Crumble into bits and set aside.
Drain most of the fat from the pan, leaving about 2 tbsp., and saute the sprouts in the bacon fat (yum). Add the shallots and saute until crispy, add the bacon and almonds in at the last minute. The whole process should take about 8 minutes total.
Squeeze in some lemon juice and season w/ kosher salt & pepper.
Those are a bargain Stacey. Thanks for reminding me. I seldom go to TJ's. My dad has given me those stalks of brussels sprouts from his garden. This recipe is a winner and will be on my plate soon.
Yum! TJ's didn't have them yet last week but hopefully they will be in now. I love buying them like that too. They seem so much fresher.
Total bargain, I buy them too!
Love the almonds with bacon, but I've noticed the price of almonds have gone up lately.
You've just made something I usually dread eating look delicious!
I am running to Trader Joe's now to buy a stalk! Thanks for the tip!
Didn't see the stalks at my TJ's this afternoon. Thanks for the intro to molly yeh's blog - she's illegally cute. I like her Brooklyn hipster style - transplanted to a farm.
What a steal at TJ's! I haven't purchased them on a stalk (yet) and I too never saw them that way until a few years ago. We used to buy them in one of those little tubs covered in plastic at the supermarket. I've made a similar dish to this one using the shredded brussels sprouts from TJ's but instead of the shallots and almonds I've added balsamic vinegar. Your recipe sounds delish - can't wait to try it!
I didn't eat Brussels Sprouts until about a year ago. I roast them in the oven with some salt, pepper and olive oil, then toss in some roasted pecans, dried cranberries and a drizzle of maple syrup. I think I'm going to give your recipe a try for Thanksgiving this year. Always looking for a new way to use Brussels Sprouts.
Oh my, what a great dish. My sister adores brussels sprouts. She will flip for this one. Thanks!

U.S. Publishes Revealing, Once-expunged Papers on CIA's Role in 1953 Iran Coup
Widespread Iranian anger over the heavy-handed Western intervention lingered for decades, and fed into the 1979 revolution

Once expunged from its official history, documents outlining the U.S.-backed 1953 coup in Iran have been quietly published by the State Department, offering a new glimpse at an operation that ultimately pushed the country toward its Islamic Revolution and hostility with the West.
Iran's exiled prince wants a revolution - even with the help of Israel or Trump
Pentagon: U.S. intel shows chemical weapons activity at Syrian air base used in past attack
Is Saudi Arabia's new crown prince Mohammed bin Salman good news for Israel and U.S.?
The CIA's role in the coup, which toppled Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh and cemented the control of the shah, was already well-known by the time the State Department offered its first compendium on the era in 1989. But any trace of American involvement in the putsch had been wiped from the report, causing historians to call it a fraud.

The papers released this month show U.S. fears over the spread of communism, as well as the British desire to regain access to Iran's oil industry, which had been nationalized by Mosaddegh. It also offers a cautionary tale about the limits of American power as a new U.S. president long suspicious of Iran weighs the landmark nuclear deal with Tehran reached under his predecessor.
It exposes "more about what we know about this milestone event in Middle East history and especially U.S.-Iran history. This is still such an important, emotional benchmark for Iranians," said Malcolm Byrne, who has studied Iran at the non-governmental National Security Archive at George Washington University. "Many people see it as the day that Iranian politics turned away from any hope of democracy."
The 1,007-page report, comprised of letters and diplomatic cables, shows U.S. officials discussing a coup up to a year before it took place. While America worried about Soviet influence in Iran, the British remained focused on resolving a dispute over the nationalization of the country's oil refinery at Abadan, at the time one of the world's largest. Many also feared further instability following the 1951 assassination of Premier Ali Razmara.

"Nationalization of the oil industry possibly combined with further assassinations of top Iran officials, including even the shah, could easily lead to a complete breakdown of the Iran government and social order, from which a pro-Soviet regime might well emerge leaving Iran as a satellite state," one undated CIA analysis from the report warned.
Out of that fear grew TPAJAX, the CIA codename for the coup plot. Papers show the CIA at one point "stockpiled enough arms and demolition material to support a 10,000-man guerrilla organization for six months," and paid out $5.3 million for bribes and other costs, which would be equivalent to $48 million today. One CIA document casually refers to the fact that "several leading members of these (Iranian) security services are paid agents of this organization."
The CIA also described hoping to use "powerfully influential clergy" within Shiite Iran to back the coup, something that would be anathema by the 1979 Islamic Revolution. It offers no definitive proof of that, though several documents show American officials in contact with Ayatollah Abol-Ghasem Kashani, an anti-British leader in the Iranian parliament who turned against Mosaddegh.

The agency faced problems, however, chief among them Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi himself. Diplomats and spies referred to him as a "weak reed" and "petulant."
"His inability to take decisions coupled with his tendency to interfere in political life has on occasions been (a) disruptive influence," the U.S. Embassy in Tehran warned in February 1953. Ultimately, his twin sister Princess Ashraf and a U.S. general helped convince him.
Mosaddegh was tipped off about the coup, and it appeared doomed as the shah fled to Baghdad and later Italy. But protests supporting the shah, fanned in part by the CIA, led to Mosaddegh's fall and the monarch's return.

The report fills in the large gaps of the initial 1989 historical document outlining the years surrounding the 1953 coup in Iran. The release of that report led to the resignation of the historian in charge of a State Department review board and to Congress passing a law requiring a more reliable historical account be made.
Byrne and others have suggested the release of the latest documents may have been delayed by the nuclear negotiations, as the Obama administration sought to ease tensions with Tehran, and then accelerated under President Donald Trump, who has adopted a much more confrontational stance toward Iran.
Byrne said the new administration needed just two months to agree to release the documents. "That kind of speed is unheard of in the government unless there is some sort of political foundation," he said.
Die-hard opponents of Iran's current government might look to 1953 as a source of inspiration. But the Americans involved in the coup acknowledged at the time they were playing with fire.
Widespread Iranian anger over the heavy-handed Western intervention lingered for decades, and fed into the 1979 revolution, when Iranians seized control of the U.S. Embassy and held those inside captive for 444 days. To this day Iran's clerical leaders portray the U.S. as a hostile foreign power bent on subverting and overthrowing its government.
As President Dwight Eisenhower wrote in his diary in 1953, if knowledge of the coup became public, "We would not only be embarrassed in that region, but our chances to do anything of like nature in the future would almost totally disappear."

Contrary to popular perceptions that yoga is a new craze in the country, the Indian system of physical, mental and spiritual practises, have appealed to Russians since the late 19th century.
Yoga was enjoyed by quite a large number of people in Imperial Russia, and this laid the roots for its absorption into Soviet culture. From the end of the 19th Century and right up until the 1920s, when the USSR was formed, Indian philosophy and yoga were popular amongst the artistic and intellectual communities.
Theatre director Konstantin Stanislavsky famously incorporated several yogic exercises and psychological techniques from the Buddhist tradition into his Stanislavsky System as a means for developing attention and concentration, and also for achieving 'Solitude in Public' on stage, which is in essence Dhyana – full concentration.
Another theatre teacher, actor and director, someone who practiced yoga throughout his life and who, in many questions of acting technique, followed behind Stanislavsky, was Mikhail Chekhov (1891-1955).
Right at the beginning of the 20th Century much literature came out on the theme of yoga. The books of American writer William Atkinson, who wrote under the pseudonym Yogi Ramacharaka, were published – works which included: Hatha Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism, and The Science of Psychic Healing. Besides Atkinson's works, other published works included Svami Vivekananda's book on Raja Yoga, Yoga Sutra by Patanjali, which came out with the Russian title of 'Patanjali's Aphorisms', and Bhagavad Gita was also republished.
Interestingly, Bhagavad Gita first appeared in Russia under the reign of Ivan the Terrible (1530-1584). The manuscript was sent to the tsar as a gift from one of the Great Moghuls. Its first translation into Russian (from English and Sanskrit) was published in 1788 by Imperial decree of Catherine the Great and with the endorsement of the Holy Synod ("this book is good for the soul"), with typography by Nikolai Novikov.
Today, the manuscript of the first Bhagavad Gita is kept in Moscow in an archive within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Despite these materials being available in Russia, people's understanding of yoga at the beginning of the 20th Century was still incomplete.
The practice of individual exercises, breathing techniques and meditation was superficial in character and unlikely to lead to the ultimate aim of yoga – Samadhi.
Then, in 1915, an interesting person appeared in Russia, then on the brink of a Revolution. This man had an indomitable will, he was a mystic and hypnotist, whose knowledge of Eastern philosophy was drawn not just from books, but also from conversation, as he himself liked to say, "from all kinds of different teachers from Asia and the East".
This man was Georgy Ivanovich Gurdjieff – one of the most dissonant philosophers of the 20th Century. In these years he was only starting to work on his groundbreaking book, Fourth Way, which, as he described it "contains elements of teaching from the yogis, Sufis, Tibetan Buddhism and some Shamanic techniques from various different traditions, including Mongol traditions".
But the Revolution, and then the Civil War interrupted his plans and he left for the Caucasus, and from there to Europe. In 1922 Gurdjieff opens the Institute of the Harmonious Development of Man at the Chateau Le Prieuré, near Fontainebleau in France.
Contemporary researchers are divided in their views of Gurdjieff's life and activities. Some believe that he was involved in big political games and had a hand in creating both fascism and Stalinism. This is what French journalist, Louis Pauwels wrote in his biography 'Monsieur Gurdjieff'.
Meanwhile, in the 1920s in Paris, other Russian emigrants – Nikolai and Elena Roerich are involved in promoting Agni Yoga – creating a new religious and philosophical study of the System of Living Ethics, which claims to be a synthesis of all religions and types of yoga based upon a united spiritual and energetic foundation upon which the world is built, the so-called Spatial Fire.
According to Elena Roerich, books on Agni Yoga were written as a result of 'clairvoyant conversations' with Mahatma Moria.
At the end of the 19th Century, another one of Mahatma Moria's pupils, Elena Blavatskaya, wrote the works 'Secret Doctrine' and 'Isis Unveiled' based directly on Moria's teachings.
Information about yoga during the dark, harsh, Stalinist times is hard to come by. But yoga was still very much in existence, practiced by a tough core of brave people. These dedicated yogis and yoginis mainly practiced in camps, and yoga was undoubtedly a factor in helping them to survive the inhumane conditions.
One of the most well-known examples is philosopher and writer Dmitry Panin, depicted in Solzhenitsyn's novel The First Circle in the character of Dmitry Sologdin, who practiced yoga with a singular determination.
"Under Stalin he spent seventeen years in labour camps and survived, when death mowed down other unfortunate prisoners in their thousands", writes Panin's friend Yuri Glazkov in his book To the Land of our Fathers.
Tatiana Okunevskaya, one of the most famous and beautiful starlets of the Stalinist period, a lady with whom Lavrenty Beria fell in love, also spent six years in the GULAG. She later told journalists that she had survived thanks to "fresh carrots and yoga".
When gathering the harvest with the other inmates, she "saved her teeth by knawing on carrots, wiping the dirt on her quilted jacket". Okunevskaya practiced yoga every day, and kept up the routine for the rest of her life. Right into old age she would stand on her head as part of a daily ritual.
One person who cannot be forgotten for his role in contribution towards popularising the philosophy of yoga in Russia during this difficult time is Boris Leonidovich Smirnov – a surgeon, doctor and academic, who under Stalin found himself as a political prisoner at Ashkhabad.
Having developed a taste for yoga, Smirnov independently studied Sanskrit and in 1939 embarked on a project to translate the great Indian epos Mahabharata into Russian. After years of work he translated eight volumes.
Bhagavad-Gita came out as a translation with commentary in 1956. The Book of Bhishma, which included materials on the philosophy of Sankhya, became available to readers in 1963.
People alive at the time remember that, under Stalin, those who practiced yoga really did focus their attention inwards, towards their core. "People like this show by their example, that yoga is a something between you and your inner self, no-one else is necessary, you are alone in the flow of the practice, and this could happen anywhere, even in a prison camp", emphasises Larisa Danilina.
"And to some extent all of those who were able to find the strength to look inside themselves and fight against the external circumstances, were true yogis, but they just didn't know that they could label themselves as such".
If yoga under Stalin was a means of survival, during Khrushchev's Thaw and at the beginning of the Brezhnev era it became an activity shrouded in romanticism. In 1963 a novel called The Razor's Edge was published, written by the Soviet fantasy writer Ivan Efremov, who laid out the basic principles of yoga in colourful language, readily accessible to a wide Soviet readership.
Parallel to this, in a journal called 'Rural Youth', articles came out about the therapeutic effect of yoga –published by indologist Anatoly Nikolaevich Zubkov, a Hindi specialist, and the first (and probably last) certified teacher of yoga in the USSR.
During the 'thaw' years, Zubkov was sent to India on business. There he made the acquaintance of Guruji Shri Ram Kumar Sharmoy (the pupil of Swami Sivananda), and under his tutelage he began to practice yoga.
Upon his return to Russia Zubkov became a real missionary and carried out huge and ambitious work for the popularisation of yoga in the USSR. At the time, promoting yoga, an activity he carried out entirely without commercial interests, required a lot of bravery.
As director of the Iyengar Yoga Centre, Elena Ulmasbaeva, noted, the screening of this documentary started a "fashion for yoga". This manifested itself in printing of the books of Indra Devi or some fragments of Yoga Dipika by B.K.S. Iyengar.
In the 1970s yoga also attracted the attention of the government, who invited Dhirendra Brahmachari to the USSR (the Sukshma Vyayama method). According to Mikhail Konstantinov, director of Ashtanga Yoga at the Centre says, the aim of inviting Dhirendra Brahmachari was a scheme to employ yoga techniques in astronaut training. It all happened under the utmost secrecy, none of this was publicised".
Another, largely hidden chapter in the history of yoga in Russia, is dedicated to all the people who practiced in secret. It is only now, 40 years later, that we are able to find out about this, as these unknown yogis are starting to come out of the woodwork and make themselves known in public.
In particular, a book of memoirs has been published under the title 'One in the ocean', by an oceanographer Slava Kurilov, who steadfastly stuck to his interest in yoga in the 1960s, drawing on 'samizdat' sources for guidance.
In 1973 the authorities stopped allowing Kurilov to go abroad on business trips, which made his profession as an oceanographer very difficult to fulfil, as much of the research is carried out in tropical seas. It was then that he thought up a unique means of escaping the USSR.
Back then foreign cruises were still popular: people travelled around different seas aboard a cruise liner. And Kurilov decided to jump ship when one of these ships was travelling past the Philippines, two kilometres from the shore.
In terms of his psychological and physical preparation to swim two kilometres Kurilov was in good shape. But the ship changed its route, and Slava ended up not two kilometres from the shore, but 200, absolutely alone in the open sea - nothing with him bar some anti-shark powder.
He swam for three whole days. Any psychologist will say that a normal person could not withstand this physical strain – he would either drown, or go crazy. But Kurilov got there. It was daily, intensive yoga practice that helped him to do this.
"In the 1980s the first yoga groups appeared – sessions were held at people's flats. I went to practice in one of these flats in 1984", remembers Elena Ulmasbaeva.
However, at the end of the 1980s the situation started to gradually change, and thanks to the activity of several academics and scientists, yoga came out of the underground. In those years in Moscow there was a laboratory for studying non-traditional healing methods, and this was the workplace of PhD psychology student Elena Olegovna Fedotova.
The Ministry of Health sent her to India to study changed states of consciousness. She spent time in a number of ashrams and schools of yoga in this country, and on this trip she met B.K.S. Iyengar, who she invited to Russia in 1989 for the first Conference on Yoga.
It was an event at which yoga devotees could at last meet openly, having previously been in hiding. Of course, Fedotova went to meet the Guruji at the airport. It was raining, but when Iyengar came out, she threw herself onto her knees in a traditional posture, and actually ended up right in the middle of a puddle, much to the surprise of airport staff.
Thanks to Elena Fedotova, Iyengar yoga started to gain popularity in the USSR, and then in post-Soviet Russia. Maria Shiffers, a teacher of Iyengar yoga, says that "after the first historical conference, the director of the Paris Institute of Iyengar Yoga, Faeq Biria, started to come to give intensive sessions. What is surprising is that yoga was more than just popular, people were desperately keen to practice and would come to yoga in organised crowds. But at the time there were no props or materials at all. My mother would practice using a clay brick instead of a wooden block. At the seminars we would stretch the muscles in our legs in Supta Padangusthasana using leather belts, and there were no mats – we practiced on cotton blankets".
Parallel with the development of Iyengar yoga in Russia, Kundalini Yoga has also been catching on. In the words of Natalia Kuzmicheva, director of the Sat Nam club: Yogi Bhajan came for the first time in 1989. And then again in 1992.
And it was then that he gave Yakov Marshak his initiation. Before he became involved with Kundalini Yoga, Marshak specialised in illnesses of the thyroid and pancreas, as well as alcoholism and drug addiction. Yogi Bhajan lived with his pupil Dayal Singkhom in the neighbouring house to Marshak for a whole week.
Yogi Bhajan then gave Marshak his spiritual name – Guru Jivan Singh "Teacher of the Freed Soul". Fired up with new knowledge, Marshak started to use Kundalini yoga techniques to help drug-dependant teenagers, with great and efficient effect.
From the appearance of the first books on yoga to the founding of the first official yoga schools, the path of popularising yoga in Russia has been long and windy, but not without its interesting moments.
What's curious is that interest in yoga flared up during the dawn days of the Soviet Union and really took flame during the sunset years of the 'red empire'. It is hard to imagine how and in what direction yoga would have developed in Russia, if it weren't for the many years during which yoga was practiced behind closed doors, in an atmosphere of danger and secrecy (after all, yoga was an offence for which you could be put in prison), and also the limited access to information about yoga.
Perhaps the reason traditional schools are so revered in Russia – one feature that makes Russian yoga so different from American yoga, for example, (where contemporary styles are celebrated and multiplying at a fast pace), is the fact that yoga developed and took root during times of hardship.

CALLING YOUNG UAE RALLYING HOPEFULS – EMSO LAUNCHES NEW PATH TO THE TOP
2021-04-11T12:09:07+02:00 English
FIA Rally Star2
Ben Sulayem says FIA Rally Star programme gives grass roots enthusiasts
great opportunity to chase their dreams on world stage
Dubai, UAE, 9th April, 2021: Young UAE motor sport fans with dreams of becoming a new star of the FIA World Rally Championship get their chance this weekend to begin steering a path from grass roots level towards the very top.
The Emirates Motorsports Organization (EMSO) today announced details of its selection process for the new FIA Rally Star programme which is open for drivers aged from 17-26, and is designed by the sport's world governing body to discover the next generation of talent.
A series of nine Rally At Home digital motor sport challenges starting on Saturday, combined with an arrive and drive slalom event with real saloon cars, will decide the UAE winners qualifying for one of six continental finals.
The ultimate prize at the end of the four-year FIA Rally Star programme is a season-long professional drive in WRC2, the official feeder series for those ultimately targeting a place in the World Rally Championship.
"This is a great new opportunity for every young driver with WRC hopes and ambitions to chase their dreams and develop their talent to the full," said EMSO President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the FIA Vice President for Sport.

"As someone who started off rallying at grass roots level in the UAE and went on to compete on the world rally stage, I'd encourage every youngster with a passion for the sport to take up the challenge."
The EMSO digital motor sport series, with competitors using simulators and the FIA Rally Star partner video game, WRC9, runs until 21 August. The date, venue and details of the auto slalom event will be announced in due course.
Digital participants must apply for a complimentary digital motorsport licence on the EMSO website (emso.ae) and enter by creating an account on the official FIA Rally Star website (ae.fiarallystar.com) where full details are available.
The UAE winners drawn from the digital and slalom events will initially enter one of six continental finals organised by the FIA early next year in Europe, Middle East and North Africa, Africa, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America.
Stage 3 sees the six continental winners competing in a six-event rally programme supported by mechanical and media training, with the best four drivers then selected for two full seasons in the FIA Junior World Rally Championship. The ultimate challenge is to capture the junior WRC title by year two and earn a fully-funded season in WRC2.
"That's a fantastic incentive, and the FIA have designed the new Rally Star programme in such a way that there are real opportunities for young people to learn, and develop their skills, at every step," said Ben Sulayem, who is passionate about doing more to develop the best young talent.
Two years ago he commissioned a study report laying out a unique motor sport talent development model. It said motor sport must adopt a new approach to the task of safeguarding its future, using its biggest events more effectively, and developing role models, to attract new talent.

Q: How to only apply certain rules to its text content and not its children In short, I have something like this:
<span class="className">
    Text text text <button type="button" class="btn btn-default">Button</button>
</span>

.className {
    font-style: italic;
    /* more */
}

I only wanted the "Text text text" to be italic, and it works when I was using Bootstrap 3.0.3. However, when I updated to Bootstrap 3.2.0, those rules are now also applying to the button in the span. That is not the behavior I wanted.
I am wondering if wrapping the text in another span is the only way to fix it. It would make the HTML even more complicated and I don't really want to do that. I can also explicitly override the italic rule:
.className > button {
    font-style: normal;
    /* more */
}

I don't think this code can be easily maintainable in the future thus I am not considering this one.
Is there any other way that only applies those rules only to the text content but not the button? Thanks.

A: Text will always inherit whatever style the parent (in this case .className) has. I think the best option would simply be to call something like:
button {
    font-style: normal;
}

Somewhere in the top, since you probably won't ever want an italic button on your page (honestly, I would expect this to be inside a reset somewhere, but I haven't chcked Bootstrap 3's new styles).

Far as I can tell, the idea of atoms and smaller falling apart is one thing that's not really understood in the whole distant futureology thing. There's no idea that they'll be physically ripped asunder due to the universe expanding - why would that happen? - but there is the idea that possibly even down to protons, they have a half life so they'll eventually decay away to pure radio waves. That will just accelerate the big freeze as far as I'm reading it; if they don't then it'll still end up that way, just take a lot longer.
Dark energy is another thing that does affect how rapidly we're going to end up heading that way, but that's something I've not really read up on yet, so I'm ignoring it for now
Apparently free neutrons have a half life of about 10 minutes, but it stabilizes it is in a nucleus.
The part of the big rip is every area of spacetime in an infinite timeline will eventually get larger to the point where the space between the electron and the neutron become large enough to become unbound and literally rip apart atoms. Starts with "ripping" galaxy clusters apart as gravity no longer keeps them together (being observed now), and works it way down to smaller structures, galaxies, then solar systems, then planets, then compounds, then atoms themselves. Gravity is the opposition to that expansion and on galaxy clusters it's being observed and we are accelerating, so it's logical to move that timeline forward.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_fate_of_the_universe#Big_Rip
The other, on the same link refers to big freeze as a similar yet slightly varying theory. Both depend on the geomety of spacetime. Both are almost universally accepted as probable theories.
The idea of decay or in another term entropy, energy going towards an equilibrium state, at least in my mind, could still be what is fueling spacetime expansion. A unknown source is fueling it's acceleration as observed. Spacetime is 'something' rather than a philosophical 'nothingness', so spacetime has energy in a non-zero state so that too would be looking to diffuse. If spacetime is finite (which could be argued) then the act of trying to diffuse by stretching it's self is another way of saying entropy could be causing expansion to increase.
There's not, and at the same time a whole lot to read into dark energy, it's needed mathematically to make certain models to work, and dark in being that it's unknown. They are looking for something observable to plug into the equation rather calling it dark energy. One idea is what I was trying to suggest.

What you describe here is irreligion.
First time I heard of the term. As with any classification, it is hard to be absolute. But I suppose I am an agnostic, irreligious, atheist.
That is, I think it is impossible to know, I do not practice and am strongly convinced that it is all bullshit (but do not hold that as a belief).
i kind of imagine it as the set of people that atheists surround themselves with -- probably others that think similarly -- which is like "gathering for church", but in a less formal way -- talking about science, hard-core philosophies, and Dresden Codak .
I do not think that I particularly surround myself with atheists. It is a bit of a mix, though the majority of the Netherlands is irreligious. According to wikipedia (24% atheist, 34% agnost, 28% Ietsism, i.e. something-ism (unspecified belief in some transcendent force) and 14% theism, with 67% being irreligious). Those percentages are roughly reflected in my club of friends.
I am not entirely sure how it goes in the US, but here it is not uncommon for such audiences to mix and speak about stuff. From the outside it sometimes seems like the US either segregates according to belief and political opinion or declares such topics taboo. In contrast, here politics and religion are "popular" topics of conversation since anyone has an opinion about it. If you meet a stranger you talk about weather, politics, complain about the current situation or you do not talk at all. I exaggerate a bit, but you get the gist.
i don't think atheists "just" "don't believe in god(s)"; i consider atheism to have a strong belief in the sufficiency of reason. instead of sola fide, sola ratione. of course, i think atheists strongly take up rationalism as a rationale for not believing in gods.
Perhaps that is true. Though I see it more the other way around, the strong sense of rationale leading to not believing in gods.
the "faith" that atheists have is, then, in their ability to be rational and make reasonable (truthful?) statements, despite the chaos that birthed and bred humanity. (at least, as far as i see it.)
I would not call that faith. It is more that rational thinking has brought a lot of good into the world (especially compared to irrational thinking, but perhaps also (subjectively) compared to religious thinking). The argument for rational thought has much more evidence supporting it and thus I would not refer to it as belief of faith. It also feels very strange to use the word faith for something, I would sooner say I am convinced that or I am confident in or anything along those lines.

That is what I like to see, mixing things up in ways that are unexpected. I think you forgot one. Take it further, and disregard common classification and labels. We are not as simple as many wish we were, so make people think and question their beliefs and way of thinking. There is no need to be emotionally invested in such things (and probably better for everyone involved if that is not the case), so, in the event that someone tries to draw you into an emotionally charged debate/argument in such topics, know that it is perfectly acceptable to end your participation...had I tried that back in the 90s it would have made things easier for me, especially in the places I lived. I wonder how I would have turned out if I grew up where you live. Don't forget to question your own beliefs on all levels along the way.
In the US it is rather mixed (in my experience). In the bible belt you do have more visibly and vocally active religious types, especially of the protestant christian variety. You also have the presence of many other religions, and atheists/irreligious people (whether they are the same or not). Because they wear it on their sleeves and are outspoken, topics dealing with aspects of religious practice and belief do seem to come up in general discussion a bit more than in other places in the US I have lived or visited. The hardcore religious assholes are still a minority in the bible belt (although it doesn't always feel that way since they tend to gather together and try to force their ways on others). In all places I have been, there usually seems to be a mix of people involved in general discussions, but I never took a poll. Even in the bible belt, many of the rather faithful are willing to discuss and think deeply about most topics, although their beliefs will sometimes/often influence their opinions (remember, I am not just talking about protestants, or even christians, as I often encounter Wiccans, neopagans, Satanists, some Muslims, an occasional Jew, and people doing their own thing, and others...but that is quite possibly because of me rather than diversity. I see occasional signs of Buddhist and Hindu presence, however I have not confirmed that, and it is possible that it is mostly people using their artifacts and imagery for fashion purposes, and those religions are less represented than it seems, although I suspect in larger cities that isn't as true.). There is a lot of mixing of those with various religious (or lack of) beliefs and political opinions, and it is definitely not taboo to discuss such things. A 5 mile drive in any direction from my house would show that, plus tons of churches. I suppose some people stick to "their own kind".
"Conviction causes convicts."
hm, yes, you may be an exception, rygD, as i get the sense that people are a bit more closed off about religion in general in the US. if you are "the same" it's easier to converse, but if you're different people would rather not offend each other. (of course, a big simplification.) maybe it's just "here" in the midwest (where i'm from, but not where i am). glad there are exceptions, though.
They'll own everything and be miserable.

My understanding of quantum computers is that it deals mostly with probabilities rather than absolutes.
It is not, you can absolutely know if none of the overlapping posibilities is false, for example.
Here is the Perl language guru Damian Conway:
(rather long, but interesting, because he brings all the theory to practical perl code...)
FBnil said:
(rather long, but interesting, because he brings all the theory to practical bullshit...)
Fixed that for you. Of course, this is the usual mode of theoretical physicists - bullshitting about reality until they turn out to be right.
Very interesting video, it's neat to see how he plans to get around the problems isolating probable values. That doesn't really devalue the argument that quantum computers don't inherently deal with absolutes though, but you can get the probabilities to represent an absolute based off the probability. The issue still remains that of the probabilities the processor gives you, the non probable results still represents a non zero probability.
Maybe I didn't fully get what he was saying, might have to watch it again.
Round 1 of watching though suggested you can get it to do work, and much more accurate work (than previously explained anyway) and exponentially faster work doing non-linear looping processes sounds extraordinarily interesting I have to admit. When ran in a processor that can do things massively parallel simutaniously has my mind swimming with lots of possible applications. If what he's saying is true that it returns a result and goes back in time to the point you requested the result and produces additional work, that sounds like actual magic.
The stuff with rods seemed like a complete waste of time except for being like a fun bar trick I suppose. The "reversing time" bit by basically running the script backwards sounds like a bunch of hooey to be perfectly honest, reading the alphabet backwards does not equal reversing time despite how fancy he made it appear.
While I am the exception in many cases, with this I know I am not. It is not uncommon for people to randomly bring up religion with strangers, either to convert them or draw them to their church. They also hand flyers out, or put them on windshield in parking lots (American English here, sorry). This happened to some degree from Missouri to Texas, east to Virginia, and south at least to Georgia (I have visited Florida a few times, never for long, and mostly the tourist areas, and I don't recall it happening there). In two schools in different states there was a very religious aspect to some classes, with one requiring a bible studies type class. That one was really odd to me (we can discuss in more detail privately if you wish). There is also the whole requirement to acknowledge creationism as a theory, or at least give a disclaimer before discussing evolution that is present in science/biology classes (I don't know if this is still done). I took two colleges out of my list of places I would potentially go to due to certain religious class requirements, although those are private, so I guess they can do what they want. I am reconsidering one due to a degree plan that seems a better fit for me than the one I had to put on hold at the public university I was attending. Middle school was the hardest for me coming from areas that weren't like that (kinda made making friends a bit weird), despite having previously lived in an area with a high percentage of Catholics. They didn't really shove it down your throat, though. I don't think this sort of thing happened much up north (at least not to me).
It may just be a bible belt thing.
Reactions: ible and levi
Having lived in the bible belt for a time (specifically Alabama) I can say it's mostly a southern thing. Where I live now (Idaho) religion isn't randomly brought up with strangers. Granted, that may also be because a good chunk of the religious people here belong to the same church.
an argument against "the universe is a simulation" based on the complexity required:
https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-09/uoo-gth092617.php
Reactions: levi and FBnil
plain words, thermal Hall conductance implies a generation of energy currents in the direction transverse to either temperature gradient
"In plain words..."
"plain words..."
"plain..."
Reactions: levi and Klumpen
The argument is that the complexities of the universe makes it impossible to simulate? Fair enough.
I don't like the the idea of dismissing an argument due to a sense of arrogance that we know what the requirements would be to simulate our universe.
I would agree with the idea that using traditional computing and our understanding of our experience that simulating every particle and atom to the n'th degree in real time would be probably impossible.
There are some arguments that come to mind I can think of though. While I am in the pro simulation camp, I'm not saying these people are wrong, just they sound a bit quick to say they are right.
-What if its not real time? Like a pre-rendered cgi, taking weeks to render a complex scene. There is no way of telling what speed the simulation would be running in comparison to the system running it. Could be dealing with multiple magnitudes of difference in scales of time.
-our computing methods are by no means the only way to calculate or simulate a system. Just because it wouldn't work given our methods doesn't mean a method or system couldn't exist that could do it. Over the years I've heard lots of common things we take for granted today would have been viewed as impossible or improbable back then.
Reactions: rygD and levi
Doesn't the complexity argument hinge on the assumption that the laws of physics which govern the "real" world are identical to those we observe in the simulated world.
Time is indeed a good example, but perhaps other quantities are vastly different too.
Reactions: rygD and SNESFAN
sure, lots of interesting hypotheticals, but until the evidence suggests otherwise, isn't it a bit faith-based right now ? (or, "it would be interesting if!" at least.)
it's similar to me with the "many worlds" hypothesis (quantum mechanics). if we can't interact with those other worlds, we are postulating a lot of stuff that we can't measure ("philosophical baggage" so to speak), which occam's razor would like to cut out. i'd prefer zero worlds, since that drops the universe right out from under you a bit (just like relativity did, time-wise), and doesn't need any extra assumptions to arrive at standard quantum mechanics...
I agree with that view on the many worlds hypothesis. If it is unmeasurable, then why should we care? Same holds for the simulation view. Unless we can "break out", it is irrelevant.
Such theories are perhaps most useful in just making the math work, though one could and should question the validity.
Reactions: ible
Many worlds is a neat mind exercise that simplifies some of the probabilties mess that quantum thinking can get you into. It might be a neat way of working things out mathematically too, but that remains to be seen right now as far as I know. And as much as I understand it, it doesn't explain the double slit experiment well wherein the particles (electrons, photons what have you) in that the particles seem to know what the theoretical other particle that made the other choice at the probabilistic junction did, as well as other particles in the past and the future that are going to hit the detector screen. I guess I don't see how it contains entanglement in general for that matter.
The simulation hypothesis (not sure if it has a proper name) doesn't really explain anything that we've observed, just makes the explanations more complicated. I'm not saying it's not possible, but Occam's razor cleaves it into the bin marked 'nice idea, now do some proper work' because it adds complexity for no real benefit other than a vague woolly feeling that you've got one over everyone else. Which I guess is how new faiths start up so I can see the attraction, but to a rationalist like myself it's the type of thinking you should resist, because it goes nowhere.
Reactions: rygD and ible
Pfft, time...*rolls eyes*...whatever you want to believe, I guess.
Strangely, I can't decide what I really think of time on anything other than a basic concept level. Back when I was much younger I thought about it a lot, but always ran into problems.
Ghosts. Or
With really powerful computers unlike the ones we are familiar with. They are probably playing a game. If they manage to notice us I hope they change how the settings for how everything works just to fuck with us. Ancient astronaut theory aside, wouldn't any sort of creator entity/deity by definition be an alien?
I need to go look into some things so I can better follow the conversation here.
Or there's always Douglas Adams theory (in the first H2G2 book I think) that the earth was a simulation/computer itself designed to answer some question we can't understand because it was made by a higher intellect (the mice in this case).

Q: Angular 4 Cannot match any routes in production build only I have an Angular 4 (4.4.4) ng-cli app.
Here are my routes:
export const routes: Routes = [
    { path: '', component: DefaultComponent },
    { path: 'somethingcool/:val', component: DefaultComponent },
    { path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
    { path: 'some-where', component: SomeOtherComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] },
    { path: '**', redirectTo: 'login' }

];

export const routing: ModuleWithProviders = RouterModule.forRoot(routes);

Inside SomeOtherComponent i access optional query parameters like so:
constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) { }

  ngOnInit() {
     this.route.queryParams.subscribe(p => {
      this.someValue = p['some-parameter'] == "true" || false;
    });
  }

When i debug the app locally (ng serve) this works perfectly.
When i do a ng build --prod i am instead getting a Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'some-where'
EDIT: Specifically, if i go to https://myurl/some-where it works, but https://myurl/some-where?some-parameter=true doesn't. If i host them locally (http://localhost:4200) then this works.

A: Take a look to the documentation about ng build.
At the end, you have all the available parameter and you should use --base-href or -bh.
This option allows you to specify the root URL of the app so here you should do :
ng build -bh 'myurl/some-where'

Pasadena Playhouse & L.A. Female Playwrights Initiative & ME!
Lovelies, I'm attaching Seema Sueko, the Assistant Artistic Director of Pasadena Playhouse's email, below. If you can, PLEASE come – I might have a micro-read (one page) of my play that night afterwards. Plus, there's FOOD. And DRINK! And if you come, I'll hug you to pieces! It's a week away!
Please join me on Friday, June 13, at The Pasadena Playhouse for a night of theater, networking and fun, all in the name of celebrating women playwrights and supporting gender parity in the performing arts.
The Pasadena Playhouse is producing the play STONEFACE written by LA-Based female writer Vanessa Claire Stewart and starring her husband French Stewart. On Friday, June 13, the LA FPI (Los Angeles Female Playwrights Initiative) is organizing a group to attend the performance to celebrate Vanessa. After the show, we'll all go to the upstairs Carrie Hamilton Theatre for food, drink, and Micro-Reads. Micro-Reads are quick, fun, one-page scripts, written by members of the LA FPI and read aloud by the cast of STONEFACE.
The entire evening costs only $28.00. That includes admission to STONEFACE and the Micro-Reads – that is 50%-off the regular ticket price.
Our goal is to demonstrate that producing plays by women is smart business. Did you know that in the field of nonprofit American theater, approximately only 17% of the new plays produced are written by women? – and that's not representative of the number of women playwrights. There's an interesting article about this here:http://www.giarts.org/article/discrimination-and-female-playwright.
You will receive a ticket confirmation when your booking is complete.
Be sure you only use this link to book your ticket. (If you use any other portal, your order won't be part of the LA FPI group and you won't get the discount and admission to the Micro-Reads).

Really??? Oh WOW! Well, I'm thrilled you're going to be there! I'm not a member of LA FPI, but I know people who are who put the call out… YAY! I'm so glad you'll be going, Kady!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for a babysitter for you, Samanthe! I know how tough it can be to get out of the house. Hugs!

GAINESVILLE — The headliner is Jordan Scarlett, the running back who was supposed to lead Florida's backfield in 2017 before he was suspended ahead of the team's season opener and never returned. He, along with eight teammates, were accused of credit card fraud. Scarlett and three of those teammates were cleared to rejoin the team on Tuesday, ending a monthslong hiatus for the quartet.
Linebackers Ventrell Miller and James Houston along with receiver Rick Wells were also cleared to return, but again, Scarlett is the most consequential of the group. The St. Thomas Aquinas alumnus rushed for a team-best 907 yards and six touchdowns in 2016.
Newcomers Malik Davis and Adarius Lemons stepped up in Scarlett's absence and will push him for playing time alongside rising junior Lamical Perine, who led the Gators with 588 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 2017.
Incoming recruits Iverson Clement and Dameon Pierce could also factor into Florida's backfield. But assuming Scarlett has stayed in shape during his time away from the team, he should be the favorite to start come UF's season opener against Charleston Southern on Sept. 1 after all the unfulfilled hype he carried into the season that never was.
Wells, a rising redshirt sophomore wideout, has never caught a pass in college. And both Miller and Houston were true freshmen a season ago, so neither one of them has played a college snap either. Both of them could, however, play an important role in the upcoming season by bolstering Florida's depth at linebacker — a position group that underperformed in 2017 and needs capable bodies behind starters Vosean Joseph and David Reese.
The four reinstated players were part of a group of seven who signed agreements with the State Attorney's Office to avoid felony charges for their alleged credit card fraud if they follow the agreements.
As for the remaining suspended players, four of them have left the school. Defensive end Jordan Smith, defensive lineman Richerd Desir-Jones and offensive lineman Kadeem Telfort have all opted to transfer elsewhere. Desir-Jones will transfer to Coffeyville Community College in Kansas while Smith and Telfort haven't announced their transfer destinations. Smith and Telfort are also the two players who were not offered pre-trial intervention programs. Smith still faces a potential nine felony charges while Telfort faces a potential 30.
Antonio Callaway, the former star receiver and Miami Booker T. Washington alum, opted to leave Florida early for the NFL Draft.
Keivonnis Davis, a Miami Central alumnus, is the only player whose case has yet to be resolved. Davis was involved in a scooter accident during his suspension, and it's unknown if his injuries will prevent him from playing football this season and beyond. He's still enrolled in classes.


Last week we announced the release of the Visual Studio Tools for Unity 2.0. VSTU is Microsoft's free Visual Studio add-on that enables a rich programming and debugging experience for working with the Unity gaming tools and platform. For VSTU 2.0, the team put a strong focus on improving and optimizing the debugging experience.
Since we released VSTU 1.9 almost a year ago it has been downloaded over 300,000 times. Over the course of the last year, we shipped two previews of VSTU 2.0: VSTU 2.0 Preview and VSTU 2.0 Preview 2. Each preview allowing us to share new features and bug fixes as soon as they were ready. The team would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in these previews by sending us suggestions on UserVoice, reporting bugs on Connect, or simply reaching out to us on the Visual Studio Gallery or at the events we attended. We've seen many games this year that were developed using VSTU, and we couldn't be more proud!
Code Coloration for Unity's shaders on Visual Studio 2015: Through our code coloration support for ShaderLab, Unity's Shader language, you can now write both your Unity scripts and Shaders from within Visual Studio.
Experimental support for breaking on exceptions: You can now configure VSTU to break on exception and debug the state of your program when an exception is thrown.
For a complete list of new features and bug fixes in each release, please read our changelog. As always, if you have any suggestion for VSTU, please post them on UserVoice, and if you encounter any issue please report it through the Visual Studio Connect site.
We're very excited for the future of VSTU, especially in the light of our partnership with Unity. For our next releases we're going to focus on an even tighter integration with both Visual Studio and Unity. We'll have more to share in the coming months.
Jb runs the Visual Studio Tools for Unity experience for the Visual Studio Platform team. He joined Microsoft as part of the acquisition of SyntaxTree, a company he founded and where he led the development of UnityVS. He has a passion for developer tools and programming languages, and has been working in developer technologies for over the last decade.


Panoramic Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, Santa Barbara Harbor, and Santa Barbara mountain views surround this stunning coastal vineyard estate of approximately 55.89± acres. It's one of the only vineyards facing the coast with a Montecito address. The property also sits twelve hundred feet above sea level and rests on a ridge, well above the marine layer, creating the perfect climate for producing Grenache and Pinot. The scenic vineyard is planted with 5-acres of grapes and the wine is bottled as Paredon.
The Italian Villa-style home, newly built in 2010 by renowned local architect Don Nulty, is approximately 6,000 sq. ft. and consists of majestic coastal and mountain views, 4-bedrooms, 5.5-baths, a beautiful gourmet kitchen open to the dining room, large stone fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling arched French doors throughout, a large office, and a detached 3-car garage.


No need to worry about whether just plain heroku is staging or production.
When might you not want to do this? Mainly when you don't want to bother having some other URL for the production site. I've still got a few little apps that are addressed by their herokuapp.com URLs, like rebalancR (http://rebalancR.herokuapp.com) and The Decider (http://TheDecider.herokuapp.com). Using those URLs just looks ugly. In these cases I didn't really care. The first was a prototype for a client. The second was basically an early proof that yes I could do Rails even though I didn't yet have any public RoR projects I could show.
However, the one with the above git config file, is also available as http://TheJobsmith.com. In fact, my main web site (http://www.codosaur.us) is technically a Rails app -- and also available as http://codosaurus-production.herokuapp.com, with a staging site at http://codosaurus-staging.herokuapp.com (and a git config file very similar to the above).


After two years of work, a $22 million upgrade to the 50-year-old Moranbah substation is complete and ready to keep powering local mines and communities into the future.
Queensland Energy Minister, Dr Anthony Lynham, said the upgrade had finished, securing a critical component of the region's electricity transmission supply well into the future.
"This is an investment into a safe and reliable electricity supply for local communities, and the jobs and business opportunities generated by the Bowen Basin coal mines," Dr Lynham said.
The upgrade supported 30 jobs and prepares the transmission network to meet the future energy needs of the region and its strong industry base.
Government-owned Powerlink installed two new transformers and a capacitor bank, and also decommissioned a third transformer at the site.
Powerlink Chief Executive, Merryn York, said that extending the life of Moranbah Substation was critical to ensuring reliability of supply in Central Queensland.
"Upgrade projects such as these are a cost-effective solution to safeguard network reliability and avoid or delay the need to build new infrastructure," Ms York said.


very rare photo without bangs in my face. just look at that smile though.
Valentine's Day marked four whole years in Cleveland. FOUR YEARS! Part of me feels like this post is wholly unnecessary. I've written some variation of it a handful of times before, all of which I've linked at the end of this post, but what can I say? Ya girl likes to celebrate!
Second apartment. April 2015. Kinda miss those blue walls…sometimes.
Current digs that I share with the man of my dreams. 2018.
I've been racking my brain over what I'd type in this post. I knew I wanted to share some photos from the past four years as well as some highlighting how great this last year has been but I wasn't sure what to write along side them. Moving here was a huge momentous thing. My life is radically different. I'm radically different but it's getting to the point where it's no longer a 'thing'. It just is. I live here. Does that make sense? When people ask where I'm from I tell them where I grew up, not where I lived previous to Cleveland like I used to. Life before here doesn't really matter.
It's hard to even remember what life was like back in 2014. I'd say most people probably have a hard time remembering what was going on four years ago but I just feel geniuenly clueless. My life revolved around… well, nothing. There were no bikes, no friends, no road trips, no wandering around at night, and dude, no sushi! GASP!
That girl who was afraid to do anything alone, who always looked out the window before stepping outside so she wouldn't have to say 'hi' to anyone, who – without a doubt – was wasting her life, she could have never dreamed of how great life would be in a few short years. I couldn't even ride my bike around the block. Now I spend my days counting down until the next time I get to meet up with a 100+ other cyclists to yell 'Happy Friday!' to anyone in sight.
Honestly, moving to Cleveland changed me. BIG TIME.
I've discovered so much about myself over the last four years. I'm happy that I've documented so many of my adventures, and created a space I can look back on to view my growth, especially on days I'm feeling down on myself. There are so many little anxieties that I've conquered that I might not even remember having had I not written about them. Creating a 'before' and 'after' has been so great for my mental health.
Life is really rad, and honestly, it is NEVER too late to start again. Being happy is worth so much more than anything that might be holding you back. Thank you so much for following along + being so very supportive of my journey.
Happy Cleveland-iversary! We've discussed this before, but I felt the same way before/after moving to New York. A city can't solve all of your problems, of course, but living the life you truly want can definitely do wonders! I'm so happy for you and so glad that our paths have crossed and I look forward to many more adventures in the future (and I've already booked flights to come to your wedding, so that's happening!!).
Oh I love this post – such gorgeous photos. You have always had such enviable apartments!
If you write about something often, that just means it's affected you very deeply. I loved reading this again and how you are in such a good place now. So happy for you babe! Cannot wait to see all the wedding stuff unfold too!!!
Ya know, I'm not sure. I don't feel like there was one specific thing just like a combo of all sorts of things going on. Working on my anxiety in other areas, forcing myself out of my comfort zone as much as possible,and just plain being fed up with feeling like that helped for sure.
This is something I've definitely wanted to write about more throughouly on the blog but I really have no super clear answers and feel like it'd just be a jumbled mess.
Hard to believe I've been here for less than three years. I feel like Cleveland has absolutely brought about my best life. Happy anniversary to you!
Your apartment—all of them, really, but the latest one the most—is just stunning. You're an amazing curator/designer, and have THE BEST taste in decor!
I absolutely love this post. I love that you celebrate the anniversary of this day, it was clearly such a significant and positive chance that you took, and you deserve to feel proud of how much you have grown since then.
Whilst my step wasn't as scary as yours as I had someone by my side the whole time, I also made a big life change almost two years ago now that required me to leave the place I was currently living and cut someone out of my life, and as scary as that time was, I couldn't be happier living the life I do now.
Like you said, I look back at my life two years ago and cannot think of what I used to do back then. Now, my life is all about baking, creating, going on adventures, and blogging my heart out, and it's so strange to think about the fact that none of those things were part of my life until 2016. Anyway, I'm so happy for how things have turned out for you and I can't wait to see where you'll be in another four years time!
Keyla, with your blog its like with all my favourite books. I simply love to see the development of a character. I always wondered what triggered your social anxieties in the first place, But I also wouldn´t want you to write about it, if you don´t feel like sharing. I know how vulnerable sharing something online can make oneself.

SUMMARY: Ground motion simulation validation-related research has maximum impact when goals are clearly articulated and connected to practical need. Most impact is achieved when results (a) provide guidance on what methods are suitable for use "now" and (b) inform ground motion modelers how to improve their methods. The SCEC Ground Motion Simulation Validation (GMSV) Technical Activity Group (TAG) is a collaboration between ground motion modelers and engineering users, focused on developing, testing and rating methodologies for simulated ground motions to be used in engineering applications. The GMSV TAG will convene a 1-day workshop, bringing together experts from the ground motion prediction and earthquake engineering communities, with the purpose of clearly defining and steering the SCEC GMSV program in the most impactful directions. The goal is to identify short- and long-term research goals for SCEC GMSV-related projects based on SCEC CyberShake simulations.
GMSV related to ground motion characterization (including GMPEs): (1) Establish a process (similar to Dreger et al, 2015 for the SCEC Broadband Platform) to assess the suitability of Cybershake simulations for predicting PSA and duration in terms of mean values and trends with major controlling source, path, and site parameters. (2) Based on assessment results, work directly with simulation model developers to improve models. (3) Critically evaluate and improve, as needed, stochastic elements of the simulation procedures to produce appropriate scaling and dispersion of high-frequency ground motions.
GMSV related to building response: Develop a white paper to describe how to use simulated motions for building response studies once a target response spectrum (e.g. UHS or CMS) is developed by some other process. The paper will include best practices, as we now understand them, and identify limitations to the methodology.

Wired New York Forum > City Guide > Moving to New York > twentysomething moving to BROOKLYN: what neighborhood?
View Full Version : twentysomething moving to BROOKLYN: what neighborhood?
I'm 23 and originally from Long Island and I'm looking to relocate to Brooklyn because my parents are moving down south. I currently am finishing up a paralegal certification course at Hofstra.... I'll be looking for a job at a lawfirm in either Manhattan or Brooklyn. Obviously, I won't be making all that much money because the only experience I have is a few months interning at a LI personal injury firm. I'd love to shoot for monthly rent of $1000 or less... but I'm not at all familiar with Brooklyn prices. Can anyone offer me advice on where to look? Specifically, which neighborhoods? I know Williamsburg is nice, as well as Park Slope / Caroll Gardens. Is Bay Ridge nice? I'm really lost... I ordered a few books of Amazon, but they don't really help differentiate the neighborhoods. Also, can someone tell me how long it takes to commute by subway from Brooklyn to midtown? Thanks alot.
Takes me 25 minutes to get from Greenpoint (neighborhood just north of Williamsburg) to Midtown (Rockefeller Center). Friends of mine have studios in the area (Greenpoint and Bushwick) for about $800. Williamsburg is ok ou the Montrose stop on the L. I don't reccomend living on the JMZ, but if you work downtown it might work out for you. If you go to bars a lot you'd like the neighborhood. If you hate hipsters or shake your cane in the air and damn kids today... you would not like it.
South Brooklyn (Brooklyn Heights, Caroll/Cobble/Boerum, Park Slope) is more expensive (not than Williamsburg proper) but much prettier and the average age is higher. In between the two (Ft. Green, Clinton Hill, Bed-Sty) is pretty and cheaper, but not as gentrified.
Bay Ridge (and Sheepshead Ba, etc) are nice, but boring and far from Manhattan. If you're a homebody or have a car you might like it.
