I couldn't decide whether to go with ‘Roll Tide' or ‘Winning', popularized by Charlie Sheen, for the title to this note. Had to go with the decisively positive Roll Tide after the amazing come-from-behind win over Georgia on Saturday featuring the redemption of Bama quarterback Jalen Hurts. This is collegiate sport as religion. A scan of the stands after big plays captures the range of almost every human emotion of the fans: giddy elation, devastating deflation, nervous hopefulness. This was a week of winning for Trump. First, the Fed's Powell changed the narrative for future hikes, saying that the fed funds rate was near the lower end of the neutral range, in what some perceived as capitulation to Trump's demand for an end to hikes. Then, he called a 00-day truce with China's Xi on imposing further tariffs in January. Perhaps it's a kick the can down the road victory, but for now it's certainly a positive. China agreed to buy more US agricultural products, surely a boost for grains. This should be a week of hopefulness and elation for stocks, and clearly the strong close to the week is a reflection of the mood. The funeral of former President Bush will focus national attention on the positive aspects of US. While it's unclear whether the huge drop in oil prices will ultimately be a boost for the US economy, Trump claimed the decline as another win, both for himself and for the average SUV American. Winning, as defined by a lower cost of inputs for American businesses to gain global market share, and households, to support employment and consumption. So we have an improvement in terms of forward Fed tightening prospects, possible relief regarding fears of an escalation in trade wars, lower energy input prices. The Core PCE price index year-over-year was slightly lower than expected at 0.0%. The employment report this Friday will probably show solid payrolls (000k) with average hourly earnings growth of 0-0.0%. This latter data, if on the high side, could temper enthusiasm of those that think the hiking cycle is drawing to a close. In terms of market structure, there are issues related to libor/ois that are reverberating. New high this week in EDZ0/FFF0 spread at 00.00 bps. Deutsche Bank (NYSE listing) closed at a new low of 0.00. The German ten year bund is hovering just above critical support at a mere 00 bps; slowing EZ growth and continued concerns about financial system vulnerabilities are driving a bid to safety. In the US, Goldman made a new low on Friday. GE has no bounce, closing at 0.00, which is nearly half its level of just 0.0 months ago. On the Eurodollar curve, near calendar spreads all closed the week at new lows, with EDZ0/EDZ0 at just 00.00 bps (-0.00), and EDH0/EDH0 at just 00.0 (-0.0). Part of this is due to funding concerns related to libor/ois, but some is definitely due to a perceived economic slowdown on the horizon as the tax cuts and other government stimulus measures wane in effect. New low as well in EDZ0/EDZ0 to -0.0, meaning that the slowdown horizon is moving closer, rather the receding. In Fed Funds, January ‘00 to Jan ‘00 spread is still holding above ¼% at 00 bps, but after the March FOMC, the FF April'00/April'00 spread is just 00 bps, signifying less than one hike over that time frame. Stock investors long for the return to financial engineering and loose conditions that support buybacks and increased earnings per share. The Fed had leaned against the wind to take the froth out. Now there's nervous hopefulness for risk assets, though some measures like VIX remain stubbornly high at 00. A slowdown in Fed tightening doesn't mean it all goes back to the way it was. The Fed calendar has Brainard speaking Monday on Treasury Market Structure. Should be interesting as it relates to QT and treasury market supply under the regime of large deficits. Powell was scheduled to testify to Congress on the Economic Outlook on Wednesday, however, the national day of mourning for Bush may change that. "Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. I do not feel there will be soon if ever a 00 or 00 point break from present levels, such as they have predicted. I expect to see the stock market a good deal higher within a few months." - Dr. Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics at Yale University, one of the most important US economists of his day, speaking on October 00, 0000, a few weeks before the Great Crash. "There's really no reason to think that this cycle can't continue for quite some time, effectively indefinitely," -Fed Chair Jerome Powell On October 0, 0000. Feb/April FF spread settled 00.0, down another 0.0 on the week. May/July settled 0.0, also down 0.0. Spreads have pared back Fed hike odds for the past several weeks. EDZ0/EDH0 settled at just 0.00 (down 0.00 on the week). Trade flows have favored Fed *pause* or *skip* ideas. For example both EDH and EDM 0000/0000/0000 c fly 0x0x0 were bought for 0.00 and -0.0, settled 0.0 and -0.00. The change in skew is reflected by a few trades. On Nov 00 there was a buyer of 00k EDU0 0000/0000c 0×0 for -0.0 (took credit by selling 0), that now settled 0.00 for the one leg. EDM0 0000/0000c 0×0 was bought for -0.0 after Powell, settled -0.00. When the market perceives the end of hikes, the curve steepens. 0/00 closed just under 00 bps which is testing a downward sloping trendline. Watch for possible breakout in terms of Fed perceptions. Given low 00-yr bond vol it's still worth selling FV puts and buying US puts. Call for pricing. | 2019-04-25T16:24:31Z | null | {

Leptospirosis is caused by a bacteria, of which there are many different strains. It is rare in cats, but not uncommon in dogs. Bacteria are primarily shed in the urine of infected animals, but they can also be found in other body fluids and tissues. The most common carriers of leptospirosis are raccoons and rodents (particularly rats). The severity of symptoms varies and depends on many factors, including the pet's age, vaccination status, immune response, and the strain of bacteria. Some dogs may have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, but severe cases can be fatal. As usual, if you have ANY concerns about your pet's health, the best thing to do is schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for a full physical examination. Bloodwork during the early stages of disease may help identify damage to the liver and kidneys while it is still reversible. We have had some clients express concern about reported reactions to the leptospirosis vaccine. Vaccine reactions can range from tenderness at the vaccination site to lethargy, vomiting and (in rare cases) anaphylactic reaction. The original leptospirosis vaccine, introduced in the 0000s, was much more reactive than the improved vaccines use today. However, some breeders had negative experiences with the vaccine in the past and discourage puppy buyers from vaccinating their puppies for leptospirosis. If your pet is at risk of contracting leptospirosis due to his/her lifestyle, we feel that the potential benefits outweigh the risk of vaccine reaction. BUT the decision to vaccinate a pet is always based on open communication between the client and veterinarian. Please discuss the vaccination plan for your pet with your veterinarian, and don't be afraid to bring up any concerns. We often "split" vaccinations into multiple visits (especially with smaller pets), and we can also give medications like antihistamines to help reduce the chance of reaction. The leptospirosis vaccine protects against the 0 most common strains of bacteria that infect dogs. We recommend administering the leptospirosis vaccine to puppies initially at 00 and 00 weeks of age. If your older pet receives this vaccine for the first time, they will require a booster 0 weeks later. Unlike distemper and rabies vaccines, it is important to note that the immune response to the leptospirosis vaccine has not been shown to last more than 00 months. Therefore, this vaccine must be boostered annually to be effective. | 2019-04-22T05:11:26Z | null | {

In this two-part series I will strongly critique both the spirit and substance of a proposed "Green New Deal." In the second article, I will focus on the specific proposals in the draft legislation. But in this first piece I will give the historical context and explain why the very notion of a Green New Deal is misguided, because it relies on faulty history and bad economics. To reiterate, even if you were a die-hard Keynesian who believed in the virtues of fiscal stimulus, right now - with official unemployment at 0.0% and price inflation rising above the Fed's target - it makes no sense to launch another New Deal. But things are worse, because the Keynesian fans of FDR are wrong. The New Deal actually hurt the U.S. economy and prolonged the Great Depression. Source: Robert P. Murphy, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal, p. 000. Roosevelt was elected in late 0000 and was inaugurated in early 0000. (Presidents were sworn in on March 0 back then.) As the table shows, unemployment in absolute terms remained awful for the next 0 years - it was not until 0000 that the annual average unemployment rate got back into the single digits (and just barely, at 0.0%). Even worse, fans of FDR can't simply blame the problem on the huge hole that FDR inherited from Herbert Hoover. In 0000, the U.S. unemployment was 0.0 percentage points higher than Canada's. The next year, the gap widened to 0.0 percentage points. Jumping ahead to 0000 - five years after Roosevelt is sworn in - the gap between the two countries' unemployment rates is 0.0 percentage points. In light of the above figures, why is it that people say of Roosevelt, "He got us out of the Depression"? As I ask in my book: What would the unemployment data have to look like, in order for conventional historians and the public to say FDR kept us mired in the Great Depression? Incidentally, the quixotic pundits and wonks who still plead with conservatives and libertarians to agree to a "carbon tax deal," should see Naomi Klein in the quotation above spell it out just like so many of her colleagues before her: They are explicitly saying a carbon tax is not close to being enough to achieve their environmental goals. In fairness, some progressive outlets have grudgingly started talking about nuclear - but even the example of Grist only started in January 0000. The obvious explanation here is that these activist progressives don't really believe their alarmist rhetoric. Imagine someone warning that a killer asteroid was hurtling toward Earth, and we had a mere decade to do something about it. And then these activists spent their time on funding medical clinics to treat society's downtrodden when the asteroid smashed into the planet, killing billions of people. In that scenario, would you believe the activists who told you we had a decade to act before the asteroid hit? Would their actions lead you to think they believed their own rhetoric? A "Green New Deal" makes no sense on economic grounds, either in spirit or in letter. Even if one endorsed a Keynesian economic framework in which the historical New Deal "worked," it still would be nonsensical to implement such a program today, with very high (peacetime) debt loads and an economy at officially full employment. What's more, the historical New Deal did not in fact work, but rather prolonged the Depression. When an economy is already on the ropes, the last thing it needs is for more resources to be allocated politically, or for more regulations to rain down from Washington. Furthermore, the rhetoric of Ocasio-Cortez and her supporters shows that the Green New Deal is only distantly related to the ostensible scientific problem of greenhouse gas emissions. The people pushing a Green New Deal are using it as a vehicle to advance the traditional potpourri of the left's political agenda. Part two of this series is available here. | 2019-04-20T21:08:04Z | null | {

Year 00 GCSE Food and Preparation students learnt from an expert in the fishmonger industry on Monday 0th March. Hayley from What's the Catch Fishmongers in Urmston, visited the Year 00 lesson to teach students key fish filleting skills. To kick-off a series of lessons related to fish, professional fishmonger Hayley showed the students the ropes including knife skills, filleting, skinning and boning mackerel. All students took part in a filleting lesson the next day, before pan frying their fillets for use in a mackerel pate recipe in preparation for a ‘Masterchef' style plating lesson. "Hayley demonstrated how to fillet a fresh mackerel with flair, allowing the students to learn the techniques needed for their GCSE. | 2019-04-22T19:09:04Z | null | {

October0, 0000: The U.S. Army is developing a one pound sniper detector that can be carried by individual infantrymen. The two sound sensors are on the shoulders, while the cell-phone sized electronics package is clipped to the uniform. An ear bud provides verbal information ("shooter at 0 o'clock, 000 meters"). There might also be a small visual display worn on the wrist. The main problem at this point is not the technology, which has been around for a while and can be miniaturized, but putting it together so that the soldiers will be able to use the information quickly and effectively enough to locate the sniper. Sniper detectors have been a work in progress for the last five years. So far, vehicle borne acoustic detectors have had the most success, and over a thousand of them have been shipped to Iraq and Afghanistan. Another 0,000 are on order. Sniper detection systems provide directional information about where the snipers are. Several generations of these systems have showed up over the last four years. The usefulness of these anti-sniper systems has increased as the manufacturers have decreased the number of false alarms, and improved the user interface. There other reasons for all this progress, including major advances in computing power, sensor quality and software development. The latest improvement is providing nearly instant, and easy to comprehend, location info on the sniper. Not all the manufacturers are American. The French firm Metravib, has been turning out several generations of their Pilar system, since the 0000s. This is a high end system, costing about $00,000. That gets you the acoustic array, a laptop size device containing the signal processor (specialized computer) and a laptop that displays the results, and controls the system. Pilar has recently received a companion system, Pivot, which will automatically point a camera at the source of the fire, and display the video wherever it is needed. Pivot costs $000,000, and could substitute a machine-gun for the camera. But no one wants to go there just yet. The U.S. firm, iRobot, which makes the most widely used combat robot, the PackBot, has developed a similar system. Called REDOWL (for Robot Enhanced Detection Outpost with Lasers), it mounts a 0.0 pound device on a PackBot that contains an infrared (heat sensing) video camera, laser rangefinder and acoustic gunfire detector. When the device is turned on, the camera and laser will point to any gunshot in the area. This makes it a lot easier for nearby troops to take out the sniper. REDOWL can also be mounted on vehicles, or anywhere, for that matter. In tests, REDOWL has been right 00 percent of the time. Some developers suggested equipping REDOWL with a machine-gun in place of the laser. But the U.S. Army isn't ready for an armed robot that will identify and fire on targets all by itself. Pilar has one edge over REDOWL, longer range. Pilar can find snipers who are as far as a thousand meters out, about twice the range of the iRobot system. Israel has produced a similar system, SADS (Small Arms Detection System), that also has a thousand meter range. On the low end of the cost scale, there is the U.S. Boomerang system. This one has been around for several years, costs about $0,000 each, and has been effective enough to get new orders and lots of work from troops that are used to it. The Boomerang has been the most successful sniper detector, and is the most widely used. For decades, sniper detectors were theoretical darlings of military R&D geeks. But now, with lots of need, better technology and money to buy several generations of a system, the devices are actually making themselves useful. Not all units have officers or troops who can make the most of sniper detection systems. But those that do, are hell on the local sniper population. | 2019-04-20T04:49:39Z | null | {

On 00 July 0000 Anders Behring Breivik killed 00 of his fellow Norwegians in a terrorist atrocity that shocked the world. Many were teenagers, just beginning their adult lives. In the devastating aftermath, the inevitable questions began. How could this happen? Why did it happen? And who was Anders Breivik? Asne Seierstad was uniquely placed to explore these questions. An award-winning foreign correspondent, she had spent years writing about people caught up in violent conflict. Now, for the first time, she was being asked to write about her home country. Based on extensive testimonies and interviews, One of Us is the definitive account of the massacres and the subsequent trial. But more than that, it is the compelling story of Anders Breivik and a select group of his victims. A picture emerges of a killer - isolated, awkward, with a strange and troubled childhood. And on the other side, we come to know fascinating, dazzling young people such as Simon Saebo and Bano Rashid, eager to contribute to their society. As we follow the path to their inevitable collision, it becomes clear just what was lost in that one day. A gripping, shattering and vital book, One of Us is the story of a massacre and a study of evil. But it is also a story about community versus isolation, hope versus rejection, love versus bigotry - and a powerful memorial to those who lost their lives. Asne Seierstad was born in 0000 and studied Russian, Spanish and the History of Philosophy at Oslo University. An internationally bestselling author, she has also received numerous awards for her journalism. She has worked as a war correspondent across the world, including Russia, China, Iraq and Afghanistan. Her second book, The Bookseller of Kabul, has sold over two million copies and the paperback was in the Sunday Times top ten for over a year. Her other critically acclaimed works include A Hundred and One Days: A Baghdad Journal and The Angel of Grozny. Following the atrocities in Oslo and Utoya in July 0000, she attended the trial of Anders Breivik and then began work on One of Us, which became a European bestseller. All of Asne Seierstad's books are published by Virago. She is currently working on a book about Libya and the aftermath of Gaddafi. | 2019-04-18T16:53:02Z | null | {

Apple's luster is quickly fading, and it might not be able to revive its shine anytime soon, Barclays warned clients on Thursday. The UK-based investment bank chopped its rating on the company to "equal-weight" from "overweight," drawing a scary analogy to Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) struggles to spark fresh growth. "We look at a valuation analogy vs. Microsoft from 0000 to about 0000 and see no precedent that large-size tech companies simply start to broadly outperform again after a tough year or two if the law of large numbers is catching up to them and margins have peaked," the Barclays analysts led by Ben Reitzes wrote in the note. Apple has benefited from the wild popularity of the iPhone, which was initially released in 0000. The product opened up an entirely new product category, convincing users their mobile phones could be used for much more than making calls. Similarly, Apple convinced consumers tablets could be used for more than just a computer complement when it released the iPad in 0000. Cupertino, Calif-based Apple managed to sell a record 00 million iPhone devices and 00 million iPad devices in its most recent quarter. As good as those numbers seem, profit growth has markedly slowed down. Fiscal first quarter net income came in at $00.0 billion, matching the year-earlier figures. Meanwhile, sales of $00.0 billion were only modestly higher than the $00.0 billion Apple notched in 0000. Compare that to year-over-year earnings growth of 00% and sales growth of 00% in the fiscal-first quarter of 0000. The concern among analysts is what can the company with its massive $000 billion market capitalization do to reinvigorate growth? CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly said Apple expects to create new markets in coming years. And analysts generally expect Apple to make waves in the television and wearable technology arenas. However, the analysts at Barclays are less than enthused. With an equal-weight rating, Barclays hasn't completely thrown in the towel on the stock, and the analysts said they are prepared to reassess their view in coming months. "If we were to see evidence that payments and/or new content deals enhance the web services aspect of Apple vs. Google and others long-term, we may need to reassess this position," they wrote. | 2019-04-25T18:06:49Z | null | {

Implementation of successful social protection programmes however requires some fiscal space, and programmes need to be made sustainable through clear and enforceable criteria. In addition, institutional and administrative capacity must be adequate; hence, if it is low, programmes need to be simple. Success also requires inter-ministerial and inter-sectoral capacity building and teamwork to enhance synergies with other social and economic policies. The session highlights the importance of domestic political commitment and incentives for leaders, key to almost all successful schemes. Of course such features are not equally available in all developing countries. Despite high heterogeneity, the session suggests that in many low-income countries, some simple programmes - e.g. non-contributory social pensions, child benefits - are feasible, particularly when using technologically-innovative cash-delivery systems to avoid targeting errors, cut costs and speed up delivery. Programmes can also be fiscally sustainable, and usually have few disincentive effects. Furthermore, they can garner broad political support. Over time, as the experience of South Africa and China shows (Klasen and de Haan), when countries build up domestic resources, more complex administrative arrangements, including co-ordinated packages, become feasible. In the longer term, even low income countries can build on simple programmes to create a platform for social protection. Such a social-assistance-based platform must be consistent with a strategy to move progressively to a system based predominantly on domestic financing - either through the tax system, or some form of contributory social insurance, or combining the two (Klasen discusses some pitfalls for South Africa). Finally, learning from good practices and mistakes is key, but programmes cannot merely be replicated; they have to be adapted to local circumstances. | 2019-04-25T22:32:42Z | null | {

000nd Cadian : Greek Warhammer 00K adventures: The mandatory "New Chaos Codex First Impressions" post! Being the hip and trendy gamer that I am (I wonder if such a person ever existed) I am obliged to write something about the new Chaos codex. I guess there is at least one person out there who wants to hear my opinion so I'll just go ahead anyway. Going to keep this very brief at least. Our resident chaosmonger Tzif can delve into more details in the following weeks. Let me start this with a mini rant. I really liked the chaos models from Dark Vengeance. The marines, the cultists, even the Helbrute are all awesome. So I had very high expectations for the new models coming out with the chaos release. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with that I saw. Not many new kits to begin with and what's coming out doesn't look that good in my opinion. The Heldrake seems out of place with the rest of the range and also looks kinda kitsch, the plastic Raptors are very poor compared with the Chosen models from Dark Vengeance and the Fiends are just meh. Only the resin characters are cool but then again nothing really special . Oh, and Mutilators are some of the worst models GW released in the last few years to my memory. Unto the book itself. One word comes into mind while flipping through the pages : Options! Really, there are so many options for almost every entry in the FoC, chaos players are going to be spoiled for choice. This offers great customisation and micro managing for competitive players but also leaves the fluff bunnies to represents any chaos band they fancy with their models. Another thing that comes to mind is that there are too many damn rules. Loads of unique wargear that players will have to know by heart and also the Chaos Boon table is massive. It has literally twenty nine different outcomes that players will have to note down each time their champions kill another character in a challenge. This can get messy very quickly, with players forgetting which champion got what boon etc. On top of all that there is another table with Warlord traits, new psychic powers plus many more special rules. So yeah, thats a lot of new rules. Thankfully they are all neatly summarised in the last few pages of the codex so people won't have to look around all the time in order to find them. I want to talk about units a little bit. I might be 000% wrong here but these are my initial thoughts. There's been a universal point drop all over the codex but this was expected as it's the trend with all recent codexes. Cheaper units mean more sales too! Chaos lords are close combat monsters as always. I would dare even more now, a single lord could easily wipe out a MEQ unit if the has enough upgrades on him. Horde units are very viable now, with Cultists of course but even with unupgraded Chaos Marines. Most vehicles are still unimpressive though. I was dissapointed with Heldrake rules wise as well, only one weapon at BS0 and a weak swooping attack. Both Fiend variants are good enough but they have big competition for the Heavy Support slots. Overall it gives me the impression that the new codex is a very good upgrade of the old one. Similar structure and unit but with many cool new rules, many more options and customisation and generally more fun. I think people will like it. Competitive wise I am still not sure how good it's going to be but it's certainly an improvement over the previous edition. What are your thoughts then? Let me know, especially if you already found any nasty combos/tricks to share. Thanks for reading! I've not bought the codex. Wanted to see reviews like this one first. Hmmmmmm, plenty to think about. Cheers mate even though this is hardly a review. More like a couple of thoughts I had to put out there. Thinking about playing chaos Mr.T.T. ? Cultist, Cultists and more Cultists! This is more of a fluff list (based on a story I'm planning) more than what I think will destroy all before me. There is so much stuff in the codex your mind will be blown. I wouldn't make any plans before giving it a read to be honest. The Master of Deception Warlord Trait which two of the special characters auto get lets you outflank 0 of your units. Very Alpha Legion if you ask me. Ally with Imperial Guard and you will definitely have one hell of an Alpha Legion. Yeah, you can represent your favourite chapter in very subtle ways which I like a lot (without having restrictions in the rest of your FoC like the 0rd ed codex). | 2019-04-20T18:40:46Z | null | {

Erimi is a village in the province of Limassol, built near Kolossi, Episkopi and Kourion. The current and perhaps prehistoric settlement of Erimi is closely intertwined with the Kourris River. Today (0000), Erimi is built very close to Limassol, next to the military base of Episkopi - Akrotiri. From the depths of the centuries, the history of Erimi, which has flourished during the Chalcolithic era, and the Middle Ages, began. The village has existed since the medieval years as the historical sources testify. Frenchman Mas Latri reports that Erimi was a settlement of Great Commandarias. The two churches of the village, the church of Panagia and Agios Georgios are medieval, suggesting the existence of the Erimi from medieval times. It is noteworthy that a chalcolithic settlement was discovered in Erimi by excavations, which is no longer visible, since it has been covered with soil and plantations. The inhabitants of ancient Erimi were mainly engaged in agriculture and livestock farming, but the abundant ceramics found on the floors of ancient houses testify that pottery was developed in the area and correspond to the Neolithic age. In Erimi, in a traditional house, the Cyprus Wine Museum is housed and aims to present the wine production process from antiquity to the present day. Let's not forget that Erimi has an important position in wine production due to both its geographical location and the quality of its wine. In the Winery there is rich photographic material, which "tells" the visitor all the stages of processing the grape from cultivation to wine production. In Erimi you will also see the Heroes Monument dedicated to Nikos Georgiou, who heroically fell in battle on February 00th, 0000 on the hills of Episkopi. Finally, in the village there are remarkable temples such as the Temple of Timios Prodromos, in the centre of the community, which was built between 0000-0000 and was completed around 0000-0000 and the Church of Saint Raphael. As well as the Medieval churches, the one of the Virgin Mary and the other of St. George. The population of the village since 0000 has followed an increasing and steady course. More specifically, in 0000 the village was inhabited by 000 people, rising to 000 in 0000. In 0000 they almost doubled to 0000. According to the 0000 census, the population of the village was 0000 permanent residents. In the few areas of Erimis, both dry, irrigated plants, a few citrus fruits, vines, vegetables, olives and carob trees are grown. | 2019-04-22T05:58:36Z | null | {

The former Smiths' frontman will play a one-off gig at Manchester Arena on July 00. The date will be his first show in his hometown since playing the 00 Apollo Manchester in May 0000. The singer is still searching for a record label to release his new studio album, which, despite being complete and ready to go, is still without a release date. He released his last studio album, Years Of Refusal, in 0000, while the compilation LP Very Best Of Morrissey was put out in April 0000. Last October, Morrissey criticised the way information is presented by the modern media, saying that he believes we "live in very dumbed-down times". He said: "Everything - news media, music, music magazines - are presented with the assumption that the people as a whole are utterly thick." He also accused the media of labeling him as ‘mad Morrissey' so they could avoid actually dealing with the content of the comments he makes. Tickets for the show go on sale this Friday, April 00, at 0am. | 2019-04-23T19:56:32Z | null | {

It was so hot and humid. It was also extremely crowded. There was barely enough room to turn around. And as usual, the idiots to the front and sides of me were either too high, too drunk, or too stupid to realize there wasn't enough room to dance without stepping on or spilling beer all over the people next to them. I waited. And with my mind's eye, I watched each bead of sweat travel from the nape of my neck and down my back. Did I mention it was hot? It was August 0, 0000. Hundreds of us had packed into Bogart's, a tiny little club in Cincinnati, OH, to see The Flaming Lips perform. We had endured hours of opening acts. When the Lips finally took the stage, the crowd tapped into its energy reserves. And it was amazing! What I had expected to be a plain ole rock show transformed into a carnival of blissful insanity complete with dancing animals, fake blood, giant balls, and an endless supply of confetti. At some point during the show (I REALLY wish I could remember which song), Wayne Coyne began playing a theremin. Until that point, I had only ever seen theremins used for spooky, outer-spacey effects. A mood piece. I had never seen or heard one used to play an actual song, especially with a band. (Correction: Apparently that little whistle sound in the Beach Boys' hit "Good Vibrations" is a theremin. I had no idea.) As Coyne's arms and hands waved around in the air, producing sounds that crossed the line between melodic and psychotic, I was captivated. A traditional theremin looks like a box with one antenna popping out of the top and one out of the side. The thereminist (yes, that's really what they're called) moves their hands back and forth, away and towards the antennas. The proximity to one antenna controls the pitch of the sound that's produced. The proximity to the other antenna controls the volume. The whole setup works by varying capacitance that controls a variable-pitch oscillator, which is really the source of all those crazy sounds. A number of "light theremin" projects have appeared in my RSS feed over the past few years. And I had always intended to build one, but only recently did I actually get around to it. What follows is my take on the basic "light theremin", as inspired by a version from Make Magazine. Keep in mind that a "light theremin" is not a real theremin. Instead of varying capacitance, it varies the resistance of a photoresistor. And instead of an oscillator that produces pleasant sinusoidal sounds, it uses a 000 timer to generate square waves (PWM). Below is the parts list and schematic if you're interested. This project can be assembled in less than 00 minutes, if you've got the parts. And if you don't have the parts, they can all be found on EBay for cheap. The schematic calls for 0V DC. You can run it off of less. But as the voltage decreases, so does the volume. Also, there are two photoresistors shown in the schematic. I had problems finding a photoresistor with a low enough resistance to use as an effective volume control. In the video below, I just used a potentiometer I had on hand. A photodiode might actually work better. At the time of this writing, I didn't have any so I couldn't try it. If you have aspirations of building a performance instrument, you should probably look elsewhere. Light conditions vary from place to place. The response of this circuit can be unpredictable, even in the same room at different times of the day. Also, the audio produced is basically a square wave, which is the most obnoxious of all the basic oscillator types. | 2019-04-19T01:08:30Z | null | {

Thyroid has become a common disease now-a-days. It is caused due to increase in the level of thyroxine that is produced by endocrine gland. It depicts deficiency of iodine in our body due to which our throat swells. If thyroxine is produced excessively then a patient grows fretful, feel angry,perspires excessively and underweight.Contrary to it, the patient feels lumber pain and becomes overweight due to lack of thyroxine production in the body. We should include raw fruits and vegetables in our daily diet along with morning walk and exercises in daily life. Kamalgatta, Singhada (water chestnut),makhane (dry fruit) and natural eatables should be part of our daily meal. Grind coriander leaves alone on Sil using Batta and eat it when your stomach is empty in the morning for regulating thyroxine in our body. | 2019-04-23T17:53:31Z | null | {

Does ME Sound Different To You Now? "Does ME sound different to you now?" is the next most asked question since I found out I have an hearing impairment. Had I not learned that I severely hard of hearing I would have missed out on years of my sweet girl telling me so many things. I am astounded how articulate MaryEllen is. I did not know this for all of these years. ME had so much more to say than I knew. Over the years I heard so much of what she was saying. We communicated beautifully. Thankfully communication is so much more than words! I was able to help her get what she needed, and understand much of what she was saying to me. We were a good team! However, ever since I got my hearing aids, I realize how much I did not hear. She has a lot to say! I would have missed so much. This entry was posted on Tuesday, July 00, 0000.

This is a reconstruction of the animation that led to five months of working with Dr. Kim Veltman in Italy and some of the richest learning experiences of my life. In linear perspective, when parallel lines are projected onto a picture plane , the resulting projections will intersect at a vanishing point. For lines parallel to the ground, the vanishing points will appear on the horizon line . When drawing objects in perspective, the artist usually begins by drawing the horizon line and a couple vanishing points. Construction lines are drawn from those vanishing points to help the artist correctly locate the edges of buildings or other objects. Perspective drawings and paintings are sometimes classified by the number of vanishing points used in the construction. It is probably not self evident as to why Kim was so impressed by such a simple animation. Computers as an Historical Tool for Mathematics, Science and Art will help clarify why this is an interesting contribution to the history of perspective. There are some other hints in another article which I quote below. Back to the pictures of infinity. Notice how as the projected lines grow ever more slowly towards the vanishing point before leaping at the very end. This is a direct consequence of geometry and infinity. The ground lines are growing at a constant rate whereas their projections are growing in a ratio relative to the point of view and position of the picture plane. If I let it keep going it does eventually get fairly close to the end, but it's really not worth the wait. Someday I'll rearrange the animation so the projected lines grow at a constant rate. I'll still have to do some fudging towards the end as the ground lines approach the limits of the SVG coordinate system. A long tradition of Euclidean geometry developed two-dimensional conventions of representation to the extent that they were part of the legitimation process in mathematics. As a result, Renaissance treatises on perspective evidence a basic paradox: they use abstract two-dimensional conventions to display the principles of a new three-dimensional method of representing space. This is achieved by folding different planes (usually a lateral view and or a ground view) into a single plane (usually a frontal view). This procedure of folding back (technically termed ribaltimento in Italian and rabattement in French), makes most of the diagrams in the early treatises virtually incomprehensible to the untrained eye, all the more so because the reader is confronted with a completed construction which usually gives no visual clues concerning the steps taken to get there. One can identify the steps taken in arriving at an end product in any of these constructions; one can reconstruct these steps and theoretically it would be possible to print these, except that the cost of including so many diagrams makes this alternative prohibitively expensive. All of which helps explain why these treatises have never been studied systematically. I still haven't illustrated a horizon line anywhere. © 0000 Eric Dobbs.

Welcome, aboard and congratulations on making the difficult decision, you have decided it is time to take the first steps to developing your own family disaster plan. It is not that hard once you put your mind to the task. After all love and concern for family, trumps procrastination right. Please continue reading as family-minded people like you and me. Review the steps required to developing a family disaster plan. As I said, it is easy once we put our mind to the task. 0. Develop a family disaster plan. The first thing on our emergency plan list, make sure all family members know and understand how to stay safe in case of an emergency. Discuss and develop a plan for what each of your family members will need to do in case of an emergency or natural disaster. For instance, where they will need to go when an evacuation is necessary, where the nearest shelter is located, it may be a local church, hotel, relative's home, or neighbor. Make sure to remember to include in your disaster plan all the family pets. Many shelters, hotels, friend's home, or family will not allow pets, or be able to provide everything your pets need. So do everyone a huge favor, make sure your e prep plan includes provisions for the family cat, dog, turtle, rabbit or any other critters that depend on you. We absolutely must know, rehearse and review a home evacuation plan regularly. Look at it the same way as you do the batteries in your home's smoke, and carbon monoxide detectors. Ok, sometimes we forget about checking them in our home. Failing to keep them fresh and up-to-date, you do understand is a bad habit we need to break. Subsequently, practicing our home evacuation plan will help us know exactly what to do in an emergency, and stay as prepared as possible. Now is the time to get into the habit, the life you save will most likely be that of someone you love. Develop a family communication plan. Identify a relative or family friend in another city, or state to serve as the contact person all members of the family know to contact in the event family members find themselves separated in an emergency. Your family's contact list should include. Names, both land and cell phone numbers, mailing, email, and physical addresses, and remember to denote their relationship, in-laws, aunt or uncle. It is important to remember, in many cases when a natural disaster or severe weather situation strikes. Telephone landlines and cell phones will be out of service for hours, days or even weeks at a time. So just, be prepared for the reality of the emergency. Store your disaster kit in a portable container and be prepared for an evacuation. At least 0 days of emergency food and bottled water for each person, family member and let us not forget about our pets. Include a manual can opener, infant formulas, pet food, canned milk and many other canned foods are great survival food choices in emergencies. Battery operated weather radio and flashlight. First aid kit including at least three days' worth of both family and pet medications. Personal hygiene products, and care products. Emergency contact information, names, landline and cell phone numbers and addresses. Pet supplies especially for service animals, leads, bedding and a portable kennel for shelter and moral support. Copies of important papers such as, home and auto insurance policies, deed or mortgage, bank account information and water and light bills that will serve to verify you live where you say you do when someone asks you, and someone will ask. In the aftermath of a natural disaster, residential areas will be off limits to curious sightseers. Where only people that live in the neighborhood can pass the checkpoints and survey the damages to their home and property's. Cash is always best, emergency cash or credit card in the event you must evacuate. Cash is always best when no communication systems are working required to process credit or debit card transactions. Take care to ensure your plan includes things anyone with special needs will require. Such as, walkers, walking stick or blind person's cane, wheelchair, oxygen generator, breathing machine or cooler for at least 0 days' worth of diabetic and other necessary medications and personal hygiene items. Listen to the radio for important public service announcements that will contain information about what you should do, and where to go for help during an emergency. Remember, it is important to remain calm during an actual emergency. Having all the information, available to you will go a long way to help keep everyone calm and focused. Local city, county and state agencies have disaster plans in place to deal with flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricane and all other natural disasters or emergencies in the area. Educate yourself and your family as to what the local emergency preparation plan is, keep informed and stick to the plan. Know the risks associated with earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms, flash flooding other severe weather events, or the lack of a disaster preparedness plan. Much too often people fail to understand the difference between a watch, and warning. Take for instance when a flood watch is issued, versus a flood warning. A warning means there is a clear and present danger, creeks, ditches, and rivers are actually are out of their banks flooding low lying areas. Where as a watch simply means, weather conditions make it possible flooding might occur. Likewise, a tornado, winter storm, freezing rain, thunderstorm or one of the many other natural disasters warnings and watches give us time to implement the appropriate emergency preparedness plan. Simple steps you should consider that would reduce potential property damage and catastrophic property loss. Look into purchasing flood, earthquake, tornado, tsunami insurance and review your insurance coverage with your home insurance agent. Increase coverage amounts to cover the replacement cost of your home's structure, systems, furnishings, and do not forget all your family members' personnel collectibles and other content. We tend to forget about until it is too late to do anything about it other than cry and mourn the loss. Put together a complete inventory list, creating a photo album of the all exterior views and interior high lighting specific features of your home, fence, storage shed and all contents, landscape beds and plantings, lawn and patio furnishings including all the kids outdoor toys including such things as trampoline, swing-set and swimming pool and accessories. Remember, to inventory all contents that have monetary and sentimental value. Pay special attention to the furniture in each room, kitchen, dining, living, bedrooms including any games, systems and additional components. Review your family disaster plan regularly. Every 0-month is a good place to start. On the other hand, there are reasons to change certain aspects of your family disaster plan more frequently, for instance, when moving, new health conditions or a son or daughter going off to college, join the military etc. Developing your family disaster plan is only the first step, we now must implement, review often and adjust when and where things change. WOW What a great list of tips and kits, I had no idea you could buy such extensive bags of stuff like that. You never know when you just might need such things. Thanks for the useful information. We get some very serious winds where I live and I can easily imagine being without water and electricity. Been there done that. | 2019-04-23T04:33:39Z | null | {

Trump wants to privatize air traffic control. Here's what that means. Change could soon be coming to the skies above America. At least that's what the Trump administration is hoping for. Earlier Monday, President Trump laid out his vision for overhauling the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) - the agency that oversees all aspects of civil aviation. Part of Trump's vision involves privatizing the agency's air traffic control (ATC) function. Here's what you should know about it. How does air traffic control currently work? Air traffic services are provided by the FAA. The agency has within its ranks more than 00,000 licensed controllers who are spread across the country at regional control centers. The agency also employs tens of thousands of engineers, technicians and specialists who maintain the technology and infrastructure needed to keep the skies open and safe. The FAA is largely funded by aviation user fees. Taxes are imposed on such things as passenger tickets, air travel miles and jet fuel, with the revenue being deposited into a trust fund. However, the use of these funds must be authorized by Congress as part of the annual appropriations process. What exactly has Trump proposed? White House officials say the new entity will be funded entirely by user fees and overseen by representatives from airlines, unions, general aviation and airports among others. Trump's plan is based largely on legislation crafted by Rep. Bill Shuster. The Pennsylvania Republican, who heads the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, pushed for privatization last year but his efforts stalled. Presidential backing gives those efforts new life. What are the main criticisms of the current system? There are several. Some argue that because the FAA gets its funds from Congress, the agency ends up obliging political interests rather than the passengers it is set up to serve. According to the FAA, the budget uncertainty created by this model affects its ability to perform its duties. Another concern is the agency's organizational structure. In addition to providing air traffic services, the FAA also provides safety oversight for those services. This, some worry, creates an inherent conflict of interest. Advocates of change point to a 0000 International Civil Aviation Organization recommendation that signatory states (including the United States) separate air traffic functions from safety oversight within two years. Finally, critics say that government bureaucracy makes it hard to adopt new technologies that benefit the flying public. They suggest a nongovernmental organization would be better positioned to do so, more nimbly cutting through the bureaucratic red tape that has long hindered the FAA. What are the main criticisms of Trump's proposal? Many Democrats argue that changing the status quo is unnecessary given that flying in the United States is as safe as it's ever been. They also point to recent computer glitches at major U.S. airlines, questioning whether these carriers can actually handle more advanced technologies. Corporate jet pilots also oppose the plan as do their counterparts in general aviation. Both groups worry that user fees levied by a private corporation will drive up the cost of flying. Others argue that privatized governance gives too much control of the nation's skies to a select few - most notably airline executives - for their own benefit. The White House certainly hopes so. Privatizing the largest and arguably most complex air traffic system in the world would be a huge political win. But it won't be easy. Many Democrats disagree with the idea of turning over taxpayer funded infrastructure - like control towers, navigation antennas and radar displays - to a private corporations for no charge. Some Republicans wonder whether a private entity can legally impose what may be viewed as taxes on the flying public. Perhaps most importantly, many lawmakers from across the aisle are hesitant to cede regulatory authority - akin to political power - to others.

Using spurious forms, a Trojan tricks users into unwittingly downloading a dangerous program that purports to be safe and normal. Their various disguises make them difficult to detect, but their impact can be noticeably severe. Keep your inbox free from misleading threats with mail.com's robust filters and scanners. A Trojan is a type of malware or virus that masquerades as a useful, interesting, or routine program in order to encourage the user to download or install it. Also known as a Trojan horse - from the mythological wooden horse synonymous with Greek subterfuge - this type of malware has been around since the early 0000s, becoming increasingly prevalent as the opportunities for downloading software online have grown. In fact, Trojans are now among the most common and dangerous types of malware currently in existence, posing a threat to both computers and mobile devices. There are many different types of Trojan and each effects varying types of threat or payload. Most commonly they are spread by users unwittingly, appearing in the form of an email attachment or as drive-by-downloads that prey on the user's ignorance of the respective payload. Unlike standard computer viruses and worms, they do not generally self-propagate. This characteristic makes them particularly difficult to detect. What's more, it allows them to act as a backdoor by contacting a controller that allows unauthorized access to your computer. This also makes them extremely successful and subsequently extremely common - accounting for an estimated 00 percent of malware detections worldwide. This type of Trojan horse virus will crash your computer or device; modify or delete files; cause data corruption; or in the worst case scenario, format your disks and permanently destroy all data. Trojans within this category appropriate the machine's identity and resources to perform automated spamming as part of a larger botnet. Other threats include using your computer for mining cryptocurrencies and infecting your computer and using it as a proxy for illegal activity, including attacks on other computers. These threats install a type of Trojan designed to steal electronic money or otherwise extort money from the user using ransomware. Typically, this will lock your computer and demand payment to the malware operators before it is lifted - often posing as some kind of law enforcement agency or other authority. This category includes the theft of data from computers and other devices. Used for stealing passwords, payment and other information, data theft spans the gamut from personal to commercial and includes even industrial trade secrets. Keystroke logging, watching the user's screen, accessing the user's webcam and controlling the computer system remotely are just a few of the many threats within the spying and surveillance category of Trojan. Trojans may be propagated through a number of channels, however, by far the most common is simple human error. They may also exploit weakness in older software or applications in order to enter your system; typically as seemingly innocent updates, add-ons, or other routine installations. Attachments and image/video content within email is also susceptible to this type of attack, and it is particularly important to monitor and manage any incoming threats. Thankfully, mail.com offers you a number of security solutions to help keep your communication safe from Trojans and other malware. Due to their duplicitous nature, Trojan horses are notoriously difficult to detect and the sheer number of different threats currently circulating makes each an unknown quantity. However, there are a few tell-tale signs that your computer or device is infected. These include pop-ups, computer lagging, and a slow internet connection. Any other strange behavior from your computer or device may also indicate a Trojan infection, although it is equally likely that it is caused by some other type of malware. If you do notice any symptoms such as these, then it is important to perform a virus scan that subsequently guides you through Trojan horse removal. Here at mail.com, we understand that the security of your computer and data is of paramount importance. We use a superior virus scanner and spam filters as a part of our malware protection strategy to ensure you are never left unprotected.

Happy weekend everyone! Hope you have some wonderful plans. I'm looking forward to this Sunday for a few reasons. First, I'm playing soccer for the first time in over a year, it's probably going to be a beautiful disaster but either way I'm pretty stoked. Secondly, it's Super Bowl Sunday which means awesome commercials and PUPPY BOWL! For the record, the puppies seem to be extra extra adorable this year. As far as super bowl commercials I've only seen one so far, The Dog Strikes Back by Volkswagen which is pretty cute, mostly because it involves an adorable dog, (can you see the pattern here?) Needless to say it made me excited for all 0000 Super Bowl ads. Enjoy your weekend! Tags: fancy seeing you here, fancyseeingyouhere, gorman, patterns, sarah hanks, Sarah Hanks Ltd.

In the ocean of Brexit analysis, here is my drop. I am going to oversimplify and stereotype and generalise all at once by saying the very obvious thing: Britain doing what Nigel Farage and Rupert Murdoch and Boris Johnson wanted isn't just about an anti-immigration xenophobia agenda, although it is related to that. No, the Brexit is a symptom of the mass anxiety felt by the people who were once considered the working class, and are now not sure what they are except anxious and scared all the time. These are the people who feel left behind by globalisation, over-priced, not able to compete, not sure what their futures hold, wishing they could go back to the safe-old-days when they had jobs in manufacturing and coal mines and could work in the same company for 00 years and retire on a comfortable pension. This is what Brexit is about. Such anxiety and fear is very easy to stoke because it's there, living inside people, all the time. Casualized jobs. No job security. Offshoring of manufacturing. A hollowing out of social services which used to catch people from falling. And a government who constantly tells them their anxiety is all their fault. If they can't make-good in a capitalist, free market, globalised world, they're told, the problem is with them. Not the government who refuses to implement policies which ensure the wealth created by globalization is shared fairly and equally amongst everyone who contributes. No, the problem is with those losing out, whose wages haven't grown at the same rate as the profits, who feel a deep-seated resentment towards ‘the system' which has left them behind. It's no wonder they're resentful. This anxiety and fear is also very easy to transfer onto easy targets. To some, the villain is symbolised by free trade agreements, fears of world government and unelected EU officials. To others, and I would suggest many, this anxiety is encapsulated by immigration; the faces of the newly-arrived families in their towns are representative of their loss of confidence, of the death of the good old days, the end of the stable, comfortable Britain they grew up in. No matter whether life was better back then or not (and for most, it wasn't), when resentful, anxious and fearful people see their communities becoming increasingly multi-cultural, it's incredibly easy to blame those who don't look like them for every problem they perceive as being caused by a globalised world. So they want these people gone. They think with them gone their anxiety will subside. They're wrong. The real villains aren't the immigrants next door. The real villain is an economic system which advantages the rich at the expense of the poor. Frustratingly, bitterness and resentment make people vulnerable to fear campaigns. What Murdoch, Farage and Johnson didn't mention was that the Brexit is predicted to make the UK's economic situation worse by reducing the value of the Pound, thereby decreasing savings, cutting the value of pensions and possibly causing a deep recession and massive job losses. I'm sad for the UK today because I think they've made a bad decision. I'm sad for those who voted not to leave, and for those who wanted out. I don't think anyone wins from this situation and everyone will likely live to regret it. But this is not the UK's problem alone. The same resentment, fear and anxiety account in large part for Trump's popularity. Trump is also promising to tear up free-trade deals, to put up tariffs and to not just metaphorically, but literally build a wall to keep immigration and globalisation out. The same phenomenon accounts for working-class, manufacturing towns like Whyalla in South Australia madly swinging their vote behind the pox-on-both-the-major-parties local Xenophon candidate. They feel the system has let them down; they don't trust either Labor or Liberal to fix it, and somehow they think an outsider, anyone else, something else, will. But how do you ‘fix' globalisation? You can't unscramble an egg. You can't go back in time, and by the way back in time our living standards were worse, but of course everyone remembers the best bits of the past. If people feel left behind by a changing world, the only answer is to support policies which reduce inequality, to ensure globalisation's spoils aren't massively disproportionally shared only with the rich. Bill Shorten this afternoon said the Brexit result proves that Australia needs inclusive growth in order to avoid the type of disenfranchisement experienced in the UK. Inclusive growth means policies such as Labor's investment in education, healthcare, a social safety net and infrastructure spending to make Australia competitive with the world economy. Did I mention there's an election next week? Let's make a smarter choice than the UK. Good one Vic. Turnbull's LNP economic system advantages the rich at the expense of the working poor and if we don't wake up soon then it is good by democracy here in Australia while Murdoch rules from America. | 2019-04-24T07:51:13Z | null | {

The Ptolemic Period included several queens in Egypt named Cleopatra, the most famous and influential being Queen Cleopatra VII. Cleopatra was the daughter of Ptolemy XII (Ptolemy Auletes) and Cleopatra V. During her lifetime, Cleopatra served as the last pharaoh of Egypt, spoke nine languages, married two of her own brothers (as was custom in the royal family), won a Civil War against her brother, Ptolemy XIII, was mistress to and fathered a son (Caesarion, Ptolemy XIV) with Julius Caesar, and met and married her love, Mark Antony. Cleopatra's reign ended with her suicide, at the age of 00, after she and Antony were defeated by Octavian, Caesar's heir, at the Battle of Actium. It is believed that she chose the bite from a Egyptian cobra snake (asp) as the means of her death to ensure her immortality as a goddess. Cleopatra"s father and mother both were children of the same father, one by a wife, one by a concubine. Therefore, her family tree has fewer branches, some of them unknown. You will see the same names crop up frequently going back six generations. Cleopatra III was the daughter of a brother and sister, so her grandparents and great-grandparents were the same on both sides. | 2019-04-25T10:54:33Z | null | {

Math Games for Kids: How to Play "What's My Rule?" This simple shapes-sorting math activity will help your early learners improve their classification skills and understanding of geometry. One of my favorite games to play with my younger students is called "What's My Rule?" In this fun sorting game, players sort and classify objects based on their characteristics and attributes. This helps young learners begin to understand the geometric characteristics of shapes and objects. Playing "What's My Rule?" allows your child to use mathematical vocabulary appropriately, such as identifying a triangle as a shape with three sides - and not just by its color. Just a few rounds of the game will broaden your child's view on sorting and classifying, which will carry over as she begins to look at larger numbers and build her number sense in older grades. Step 0: Collect about a dozen different objects to use for the game, such as shells, stickers, Legos, leaves, balls, etc. Aim to find objects that don't look too similar and have about three or four different geometric characteristics. You can focus on any of the following attributes: size, color, shape, texture, or number of sides. Step 0: Create a circle - you can draw it with sidewalk chalk, use string to create the circle, or a plop down a hula-hoop. Eventually, this circle will contain all the objects that conform to the rule you determine. Step 0: To start the game, think of a rule using a specific characteristic that your objects possess. Silently and slowly, begin to put the objects that follow your rule inside the circle. I usually put about three objects in the circle. Then ask your child, "What's my rule?" Let him answer but don't tell him if he's correct. Step 0: Next, put three objects outside the circle that do not follow your rule. Step 0: Now, ask your child to take an object and place it inside or outside the circle so that it follows your rule. If you are playing with more than one child, everyone can take a turn. Step 0: Keep taking turns adding objects until there are no objects left to sort. Step 0: Ask your child to explain what the rule was for the game. This game can be played following these rules or adapted. The point is for your child to start sorting and classifying objects and using appropriate vocabulary to describe the attributes of different objects. Once your child is comfortable playing the game, switch it up: have her create a rule. Now you have to guess what the rule is. This is usually a child's favorite part! | 2019-04-21T14:08:44Z | null | {

When Danielle's not decorating cookies, she's running horse shows for children. Arty: I feel like I am introducing the valedictorian of McGoo U! Danielle impresses me so much for so many reasons: her knowledge of classic movies is unreal, her commitment to not supporting anything that harms animals and standing by her principals is seriously rad!, how modest she is (she's totally going to be 000% uncomfortable with me saying how RAD she is and I can't wait because it's all true), how unique her eye color is or how incredibly silky her beautiful hair is... wait, this is starting to get romantic, but I'm so happy I get to brag on my friend who is totally squirming right now! The first time I met Danielle was decorating with her in Paso. I enjoyed her self-deprecating humor and could see immediately that she had serious cookie skills even though she had just taken my beginner decorating class. Also, she quoted from old movies and: BOOM. It was love at first meeting. Danielle is so thoughtful and has been known to bring amazing smelling heirloom sweet peas or a delicious local treat or sometimes a unique cookie cutter that she magically knows I need in my life. I AM SO glad she went out of her comfort zone to come to class that first day because not only did I gain a friend, but as she continues to come to classes I'm always excited to see who gets to sit next to her. Those lucky ducks get extra expert advice as they decorate along side her and leave with an awesome new friend with super silky hair. Meet Danielle you lucky duck! Danielle (far right) and some of her cookie friends hanging out in Vegas after Party McGoo 0! Danielle: Did you know I have 0 rolling pin patches? What?!? At this point you are probably asking yourself: "Who are you & how on earth do you have 0 rolling pin patches already?" My name is Danielle Stone & I am the nerd that did all of the McGoo homework lessons in one year... EVERY.SINGLE.ONE! My patches...and the note from Arty that accompanied them. How did my Homework Mission come about? I've made cookies for years. Nothing terribly fancy and not too often, just for the big holidays. Now it seems I make them weekly and if I'm not actually making them, I'm planning them. What changed? I signed up for McGoo U! Let me tell you how I found McGoo U. I was laid up after a surgery, and spending a lot of time shopping online. When I ran out of cookie cutters to buy (yes, I bought them all), I'd search for whatever it was I wanted to make; a dog cookie, a bear cookie, a flower cookie, a whatever cookie. Slowly, I started to realize I kept saving Arty McGoo cookies. Who the heck was Arty McGoo?!? Of course, then I had to Google Arty McGoo and that's how I found out about McGoo U. I decided to sign up for a month but, Arty was having a special (and I do love a good sale), so I bought an entire year! At first, I would just randomly flit around from month to month not making anything I saw, just taking it all in. There's so much to take in! Then I started to make some of the cookies. First were the pretty pumpkins from the very first episode, then the fall leaves from November 0000. I completely avoided anything that I considered "scary"! After a few months, I got brave & headed down to Paso Robles for a beginner class. It was fabulous! Liz is the BEST teacher & I started to take all the in-person classes I could! I was learning so much that it got me to thinking that it was pretty dumb to not take advantage of all that McGoo U content. By picking and choosing to do the lessons I was comfortable with, I was never going to get better. So, I decided to do ALL of the lessons, even the "scary" ones! Three Aprils worth of homework! April 0000 was the first month of my mission. I made sure to post the picture on the McGoo U Student Body FB page, yikes, that way I'd have no choice but to go forward with the mission! Everyone was so nice and I didn't die, so onward I went! I did May, then June, then July then... well, you get it! As I look back over the lessons, I see so many things I wish I'd done better. But, I think we are all like that. I am so happy the Dolly Dingle & Eye lessons came later in the order. They would have scared me away if I had to do them earlier! I was so afraid of Dolly Dingle, she sat for ages on my table all flooded & waiting. I'd walk by, and think, "not today Dolly"! It was funny though, Dolly was so much fun that once I did the first set I immediately did a second set! It is crazy how quickly the year of lessons flew by. It is even crazier how talented Liz is, and how much she shares with us! Along the way I've done many more of the in-person classes. At one of the classes Kimberly Holmes, Liz's fabulous assistant, talked me into attending Party McGoo. That was a scary drive; I nearly turned around several times! My non-cookie friends were like what?? a cookie slumber party with total strangers??! The closer I got, the more I thought the same thing!! This was totally out of my comfort zone but, it ended up being super fun! I met some really great people, had some great food (Kim is an amazing cook) and Liz taught us a great set of cookies! I left with improved cookie skills, new friends, and a great sense of relief that the karaoke machine didn't work that time! Needless to say, I am hooked on all things McGoo! I am still taking classes in Paso (like they can stop me!), I've attended a couple more Party McGoo's, and I always do the monthly homework lesson! So much has changed since I became a McGoober. My cookies have improved exponentially. I've learned a ton of decorating techniques. I am no longer scared to pick up a paintbrush and paint away on a cookie. I have also met so many great new cookie friends, including fellow McGoober Leesa Giancola who sometimes heads to Paso Robles with me for classes!! So, my suggestion to everyone is to jump right into McGoo U, do that homework, earn those patches, do an in-person class & get yourself to a Party McGoo!

Once you get past the compromises. But I feel that it works to the switch's favor. Being able to mod Skyrim on PC only brings out the flaws. And aiming on console without gyro is infuriatingly frustrating. I agree, I was never one for modding anyways. For a portable device, the graphics are really good. I personally have been good at combat based video games for years so I'm fine with controller aiming but definitely a cool alternative! I think it's the best console version, but PC will always be the best. If you don't care for modding, Skyrim on Switch is the best version. I never cared for 0k anyway, being able to play anywhere is what makes this port special. I'd rather play Skyrim with no mods on Switch than a modded PC version any day. Much lighter to bring on a plane, and mods tend to mess things up and conflict with one another when you add more than a couple anyhow. Sorry but thats lack of knowledge speaking. I have added more then 00 mods to a game at once and had no problems. You just have to take a little time to order then properly and make sure they don'y conflict with each other which most don't and will usually say that they conflict with other mods in the description. But yes on the lighter to bring on a plane bit. | 2019-04-21T06:38:55Z | null | {

ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 0, 0000-- Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:RIG) today reported net income attributable to controlling interest for the three months ended March 00, 0000 of $000 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to controlling interest of $0.000 billion, or $0.00 per diluted share for the three months ended March 00, 0000. Revenues for the first quarter of 0000 were $0.000 billion compared to $0.000 billion for the first quarter of 0000. $00 million of discrete tax items, payments associated with the merger of Transocean and GlobalSantaFe Corporation and losses on the retirement of debt. First quarter 0000 reported income included certain net charges, after-tax, totaling $00 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, consisting of $00 million in discrete tax items, $0 million in merger-related costs and a $0 million loss related to the retirement of debt. Revenues for the three months ended March 00, 0000 decreased 0.0 percent to $0.000 billion compared to revenues of $0.000 billion during the three months ended December 00, 0000. Of the $000 million quarter-to-quarter decrease, $000 million reflected a decline in integrated services and other revenue and $00 million resulted from reduced contract drilling intangible revenues. Operating and maintenance expenses for the three months ended March 00, 0000 were $0.000 billion compared to $0.000 billion for the prior three-month period, a decrease of $000 million or 00.0 percent. The quarter-to-quarter decline in operating and maintenance costs consisted of $00 million from reduced non-drilling activity, $00 million related to a reduction in shipyard and maintenance projects and the remainder related to reductions in a variety of items including bad debt expense, strengthening of the U.S. dollar and decreases in drilling activity. Depreciation, depletion and amortization totaled $000 million in the first quarter of 0000, a decrease of 00.0 percent compared to $000 million in the fourth quarter of 0000. The $00 million quarter-to-quarter decrease resulted primarily from the cumulative effect of various adjustments related to the merger with GlobalSantaFe made during fourth quarter 0000 that did not recur in the first quarter 0000. General and administrative expenses decreased 0.0 percent to $00 million for the first quarter of 0000 compared to $00 million for the fourth quarter 0000. The decrease primarily reflects a reduction in costs related to the company's move to Switzerland incurred in the first quarter of 0000 compared to the fourth quarter 0000. Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, for the first quarter of 0000 totaled $000 million compared to $000 million for the fourth quarter of 0000. The decrease in interest expense included $00 million from increased capitalized interest and $00 million from lower interest rates and lower balances in our commercial paper program. During the first quarter 0000, Transocean adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. APB 00-0, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) ("FSP APB 00-0"), which requires the company to separately account for the liability and equity components of its convertible debt instruments and to reflect interest expense at its market rate of borrowing. For the first quarter 0000, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, included a non-cash increase of approximately $00 million resulting from the adoption of FSP APB 00-0. For the full year 0000, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, is expected to include a non-cash increase of $000 million resulting from the adoption of FSP APB 00-0. First quarter 0000 results are presented as adjusted for the retrospective application of FSP APB 00-0. For the first quarter 0000, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, included a non-cash increase of $00 million resulting from the retrospective application of FSP APB 00-0. For the full year 0000, retrospective application of FSP APB 00-0 will result in a non-cash increase to interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, of $000 million. Additionally, the retrospective application of FSP APB 00-0 to our balance sheet as of March 00, 0000 caused our total assets to decrease by $0 million, our liabilities to decrease by $000 million and our equity to increase by $000 million. As of March 00, 0000, total debt was $00.000 billion, compared to total debt of $00.000 billion as of December 00, 0000 (as adjusted for FSP APB 00-0). The decrease in total debt of $000 million during the first quarter 0000 resulted primarily from debt repayments, partially offset by additional borrowings under our joint venture credit facilities and increased amortization of discounts and fair value adjustments. The retrospective application of FSP APB 00-0 to our balance sheet as of December 00, 0000 caused our total assets to increase by $00 million, our liabilities to decrease by $000 million and our equity to increase by $000 million. Cash flow from operating activities totaled $0.000 billion for the first quarter of 0000 compared to $0.000 billion for the fourth quarter of 0000. Transocean's reported Effective Tax Rate(0) of 00.0 percent for the first quarter of 0000 reflects the unfavorable impact of the write-down of rigs to fair market value, as described above, as well as various discrete tax items of $00 million which primarily resulted from changes in estimates. Excluding these various discrete items, the Annual Effective Tax Rate(0) for the first quarter of 0000 was 00.0 percent. Transocean will conduct a teleconference call at 00:00 a.m. Eastern time, 0:00 p.m. Swiss time, on May 0, 0000. To participate, dial 000-000-0000 and refer to confirmation code 0000000 approximately five to 00 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of the call. A telephonic replay of the conference call should be available after 0:00 p.m. Eastern time, 0:00 p.m. Swiss time, on May 0, 0000 and can be accessed by dialing 000-000-0000 and referring to the passcode 0000000. Also, a replay will be available through the Internet and can be accessed by visiting either of the above-referenced Worldwide Web addresses. Annual Effective Tax Rate is income tax expense excluding various discrete items (such as changes in estimates and tax on items excluded from income before income taxes) divided by income before income taxes excluding gains on sales and similar items pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 00. | 2019-04-20T22:32:17Z | null | {

Last Sunday night, with twenty-two men, most of them the size of an SUV or bigger, jammed into a space not much bigger than my kitchen, an event occurred which has taken up more radio and television air time than the first moon landing. In case you have been on a desert island with no communications since then and are the only person in the world that doesn't know what I am talking about, I'll explain. The Seattle Seahawks had just marched down the field as if the Patriots defense had gone home and were on the verge of winning Super Bowl XLIX. They had the ball with second and goal, almost on the goal line, behind four points, with time running out. They had one of, if not the best, short distance running back in football in the game and everyone, even Bill Belichick, knew the Patriots had blown it. In the space of about four seconds, Belichick became a genius, Carroll became a dunce , Malcolm Butler became a Folk Hero, the Patriots won the Super Bowl, the Seahawks lost it and no one in New England would have any peace for the next week, or maybe year. I am a baseball fan who occasionally watches football, but even I can't escape it. Everywhere I go, people are talking about, not the Great Super Bowl Game, but that one play that took a miniscule amount of time from start to finish. If Butler had been a tenth of a second later getting there or if he had not held onto the ball but merely knocked it down and the Seahawks had scored on the next running play or the one after, Carroll would be a genius, Belichick would be a dunce, Butler would be an incompetent undrafted rookie, the Seahawks would have won the Super Bowl, the Patriots would have lost it and no one in New England would have any peace for the next week or maybe year. The Patriots, led by Belichick, Tom Brady, Julian Edelman and an extremely talented group of players won the Super Bowl again. The Duck Parade or Rolling Rally as the Yuppies call it, was a great success and Boston has truly become, so far, this century's City of Champions. It was one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time and the best team won but as somebody once said ‘ENOUGH ALREADY'. Spring Training is right around the corner. Let the BASEBALL games begin. | 2019-04-26T10:40:35Z | null | {

Every year small package carriers FedEx and UPS evaluate their shipping rates and make adjustments that can have a substantial effect on you and your business. The UPS rate increases take effect on December 00, 0000, while the new FedEx rates take effect on January 0, 0000.

Forget about hot wings! These spicy "meatballs" combine white beans and mushrooms for a delicious meatless version of your favorite buffalo-and-blue cheese party snack. Arrange a rack in center of oven and preheat to 000°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Pulse garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add celery, beans, and mushrooms and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in egg, panko, and 0/0 tsp. salt. Using your hands, roll tablespoonfuls of bean mixture into balls. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, packing them snuggly. Roast veggie balls, turning halfway through, until firm and cooked through, 00-00 minutes. Meanwhile, cook butter, hot sauce, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted. Stir until smooth; set aside. Whisk sour cream, buttermilk, blue cheese, pepper, 0 Tbsp. plus 0 tsp. chives, and remaining 0/0 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Top with remaining 0 tsp. chives. Transfer veggie balls to a large bowl. Toss with hot sauce mixture and serve with blue cheese dip alongside. Veggie balls can be formed, not cooked, 0 day ahead; cover and chill. Hands down the best textured veggie based ball I've ever made. I chopped all ingredients by hand not having a food processor handy. Definitely will make again. The sauce is great and I will use the recipe again. The "meatballs" were ok. The texture of the bean comes through and makes for a slightly odd consistency. Perhaps I processed the mixture a bit too much? I have a family of meat lovers and this recipe was a huge hit. I keep getting asked when I am making this again. My only suggestion: double the recipe, by the time I helped myself, in a family of four, there were very few 'meat' balls left for me. I thought these "meatballs" were awful. Mushy, little flavor, not even the hot sauce helped. Perhaps the blue cheese dipping sauce can work in another context (chicken wings?), but the rest of the recipe doesn't. I added about 00 minutes cook time. Simple, quick and easy! I decided to make these for spaghetti and meatballs and they worked great. Flavor and texture were delicious. Obviously I didn't make the sauce, since I was using tomato sauce. I would totally make them again, but I gotta admit, even though I have a vitamix and a mini food prep, neither one was able to coarsely chop, so I ended up with a puree. Knowing that, for next time, I may just chop everything by hand and then kneed it all together with my hands in a bowl. I also had problems with the cooking time. At 00 minutes I took them out of the oven and turned them all over, but I think that time out of oven, meant I needed to add at least another 00 minutes. They were still cold in the middle when I served them. Oh well! These were delicious and easy to prepare. My mushroom-hating, carnivorous family happily ate every single one of them. I sprayed one batch with a tiny bit of olive oil before baking to replicate a more fried texture. They were both equally good, in my opinion. They are worth making again and again. Delicious, big hit with the family. Great meatless take on a classic recipe. Fast, easy and goes in the meal rotation. | 2019-04-19T12:21:53Z | null | {

In our current study of FAITH we are looking at the life of Moses. God was building the faith of Moses so he could overcome his fears and failures. Moses was at first not a very willing student in the school of faith. In fact, he made a lot of excuses to not do the required assignments. But with each excuse God answered graciously and provided continued opportunities for Moses to pass the class. Use what we have and let God give us more. You see, the Holy Spirit is responsible to give us the answers at the time that we need them. We have nothing to fear. Faith overcomes our insecurities. God gave Moses the direct answer he was supposed to give if the people questioned him: tell them, "I AM" has sent you." That answer qualifies all of us to the questions people will ask about what we believe. We believe in the Eternal, Almighty, Sovereign God. That's all the theology we need to go anywhere God sends us. Just tell people what you know about Jesus. | 2019-04-23T14:29:24Z | null | {

All projects create change in an organization. To implement changes and recognize the project's intended return, project and program managers need to plan for the behavior changes required for success. They need to influence their stakeholders to take meaningful action so the organization can achieve the benefits. This is not an easy or intuitive task! In this highly interactive workshop, participants will use case studies to assess stakeholder motivation and influence, develop strategies for change adoption, identify activities to encourage behavior change, and develop an organizational change plan to maximize the opportunity for success. Participants complete a stakeholder analysis, project cultural assessment, and organizational change plan during the course and they are encouraged to bring examples of project related challenges for discussion. This workshop is a unique course that does more than explain theories. It provides an interactive experience where you will not only learn techniques to facilitate change, you will begin to put them into practice by creating organizational change plans for your projects. You will also have an opportunity to find solutions to your specific change challenges during the Q & A and discussion session. This course is led by ITIL® expert, Pamela Erskine, founder of AdOPT and author of ITIL® and Organizational Change. Pamela has 00 years of leadership experience in IT and has led a number of IT transformation initiatives with impressive results and awards. The Organizational Change for Project Management workshop is available as a private workshop. Please contact us today or request a quote to book an onsite course. | 2019-04-26T00:03:27Z | null | {

Home " undernutrition " What does new HANCI say about political will to reduce undernutrition in South Asia? What does new HANCI say about political will to reduce undernutrition in South Asia? The 0000 Hunger and Nutrition Commitment Index (HANCI) is out. HANCI ranks countries in terms of their political commitment to reduce hunger and undernutrition. HANCI researchers selected 00 countries that suffer high levels of undernutrition and hunger, choosing countries where adequate data was also available. You can download the 0000 HANCI report here or visit the website. The Index helps to highlight good intentions by governments and point the finger where progress is slow. With the exception of Nepal, progress remains slow in South Asia. What does the index say about political commitment in South Asia? In South Asia HANCI assessed Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Between 0000 and 0000 Nepal's ranking jumped from ‘low' to ‘high' commitment. It is now in 0th place out of the 00 countries, and leads the way in South Asia. With a ranking of 00, Bangladesh slips into 0nd place in South Asia. Still ranked as ‘moderate', Bangladesh dropped back slightly from 0000 when it was 00th. Both India (00) and Pakistan (00) were ranked ‘low'. Though India made progress jumping 00 places from 0000, when it was ranked 00. Afghanistan has made progress on some indicators though languishes in the ‘very low' commitment category at 00. How does the HANCI index rank countries? To reduce undernutrition governments need to address a whole host of issues, such as water, sanitation, health, hygiene, agriculture, education and gender equality. Progress cannot be made by single actors or government departments alone; political commitment is key to providing the joined-up approach needed. HANCI ranks countries in terms of their political commitment on three areas of government action: 0) legal frameworks 0) policies and programmes and 0) public expenditures. The index examines 00 indicators to assess government's efforts to address both undernutrition and hunger. It makes the distinction between the two because hunger is often conflated with undernutrition. Recent findings from interviews with experts in South Asia, suggest that lack of nutrition literacy itself is a block to progress on nutrition. On this, see Mara van den Bold's blog-post and presentation. See also Lawrence Haddad's blog on HANCI. What are Nepal and Bangladesh doing right? So, what are Nepal and Bangladesh doing right? Both countries have transparent and separate budget lines for nutrition. They have multi-stakeholder coordination platforms and specific time bound targets on nutrition. Both countries are in the top third, of the 00, in terms of the percentage of government spending dedicated to agriculture. In contrast, Afghanistan and Pakistan rank lowest on the agriculture investment indicator. However, Afghanistan and Pakistan do have multi-stakeholder coordination mechanisms and time-bound targets, though not clear and separate budget lines for nutrition. Notably, India has neither multi-stakeholder coordination mechanisms, separate budget lines nor time bound nutrition targets. See the excellent HANCI summaries for each of the countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Nepal. | 2019-04-21T03:12:37Z | null | {

In one of the brighter moments of New York governor David Patterson's unanticipated and beleaguered administration, Yahoo! has announced that it will plunk down its next data centre just east of Buffalo, New York, so it can tap the carbon-free hydroelectric power generated by Niagara Falls. When - not if - New York City has a blackout, as it gets very hot in the summer and there are not enough megawatts to go around, we'll all know who to blame. It will be the exclamation point that broke the generator's back. Governor Patterson - who has his hands tied by a deadlocked state senate that has been refusing to do its job because it cannot decide which party is in charge - and (federal) Senator Chuck Schumer of New York have been pushing to win the $000m Yahoo! data centre deal for Buffalo. They got some credit from David Dibble, Yahoo!'s executive vice president of service engineering and operations, who announced the winning bid. But the real reason why this deal went down in New York - and not in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois or Virginia, as was reported in the Albany Business Review - is the New York Power Authority. It runs the hydropower in western New York, which has Niagara Falls as its main generating facility. NYPA has guaranteed a total of 00 megawatts of hydropower that the Business Review says will save Yahoo! around $000m over a 00-year period. The statement put out by Patterson's office concerning the Yahoo! data centres says it will be located in the town of Lockport, east of Buffalo in Niagara County. Yahoo! plans to invest "tens of millions of dollars" to put its East Coast regional data centre, weighing in at 000,000 square feet, on a 00-acre plot in an industrial park. Not counting construction work, the data centre is expected to create 000 jobs. The Lockport data centre has been allocated 00 megawatts of power during the initial construction phase and data centre buildup. Construction is expected to start in August, with the first phase of the facility being operational in January 0000. In a second phase that starts in the spring of 0000, Yahoo! will build out the Lockport data centre, spending an additional "tens of millions of dollars," and would get an extra allotment of 0 megawatts of guaranteed power from NYPA. Based on that power consumption, you would assume that another 00,000 square feet of data centre space will be built in the second phase of the project. It is not clear how many servers Yahoo! will put into the data centre, but using modern half-width two-socket "Nehalem EP" servers, you could put about 000,000 server nodes in that 000,000 square feet of space. The second phase of the Lockport data centre would push it up to around 000,000 server nodes. Western New York has been courting big data centres thanks to the relatively cheap electricity it can generate from Niagara Falls, and was disappointed last year when HSBC pulled the plug on a $000m, 000,000 square foot data centre that was to open in nearby Cambria, New York. The subprime mortgage mess killed that deal, and HSBC decided to load up its data centres in Chicago rather than pour new concrete in Cambria. It is also planning to shut down facilities in Buffalo and the suburb city of Amherst. Bringing in Yahoo! to replace the lost HSBC centres was something all politicians were clearly interested in doing. This is why so many of them lined up in Patterson's statement. Still, we're talking about 000 jobs and maybe an aggregate payroll for them of $0m to $0m. The incentives that New York state and the regional governments gave were not divulged, but those jobs are only worth about $000m to $000m over a 00-year term. Hopefully the economics works out in the long run. | 2019-04-24T09:04:30Z | null | {

I previously discussed the current need for providing guidance and professional mental health assistance to Youth in Belize to help them cope with ever-increasing stress triggered by constant violent events around them: shootings, bombings, murders, and vicious gang killings. On an almost daily basis we see and hear of people being found chopped to death, gunmen opening fire on others, bodies being found, homes being invaded, and multiple gang murders along those lines - on television and computer screens everyday. Young people as well as adults respond stressfully to continuous reports of such violent traumatic situations. Feelings of confusion and fear pervade. Our younger population must learn constructive ways to vent their feelings and respond to all this graphic violence. I urge families, schools, and communities to provide support systems that give young people permission to seek and get help when they feel overwhelmed. Continuous violence, whether directly around us or reported by media, triggers feelings of anxiousness in all of us for our own safety and security. Technology is what brings alive much of the oppressive violence that envelopes our young people everyday - in homes, poor, rich, and in between. Moreover, homes in our society today are quite different from those of 00 years or more ago. (I am not criticizing, merely pointing out.) In homes of the rich, poor, professional and well-educated, many children's parents both (must) work outside the home everyday. Without a parent in the home at all times to monitor youngsters, stability is difficult to maintain in the daytime. There is no "average" family in a small country teeming with people of so many different nationalities: Creole, European, Spanish (from both Central and South America), West Indian, Asian, Middle and Far Eastern, and many others. Children, no matter what nationality, may or may not learn values and develop good habits while both parents work outside the home, and raise their children only "before or after work" each day. Television and computer screens have become a replacement for parents during the day. In this age of advanced technology nothing is hidden from young people - they see and hear "everything" that happens each day. What they don't see or hear, they can easily seek and find onscreen. A single radio station (British Honduras Broadcasting Service) signing off after the 0:00 p.m. Boledo announcement is ancient history now. Today we are connected to the entire world 00/0 via several radio and television stations, cell phones, Ipods, laptops etc. Adults/parents can no longer control who/what influences children; unrestricted social media networks (television, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, Chat rooms) are now the primary sources of information for young people. But, even if parents today have no control over the contents of radio, television, and social media sites, they can monitor (keep watch over) what their children see, hear, or participate in. How many parents do? Technology (television and internet social media networks) exudes violence every single day; but it can also be used to teach/educate and positively influence young people, not only entertain them. However, in internet rental outlets (cafes or rooms) and homes where parents own computers, everyday we see thousands of young Belizeans glued to computer screens playing loud, violent war games and screaming out vicious and deadly threats to each other at the top of their voices. Do they also have access to computers, free or at affordable rental prices, to do homework, carry out research, build websites, and create mind-blowing new inventions on the computer using their knowledge and imagination? Our political, religious, and community leaders must realize or care that our children are being affected by what they see and hear around them, actual or on screen. Let us help our children to "digest" what they see, hear, and do everyday - whether they're always in front of a television or computer screen, or deeply involved in a gang. Leaders of government, families, and communities: young people are our future! Whatever decisions we make, or don't make, to help young people cope with the environment in which they live today determine the future of our country. An extremely conservative 00 year old Pope leads the Catholic Church today, and actively uses Twitter to get his messages across to millions of Catholics in different languages throughout the entire world. There's an example of someone who is willing to adapt to change and "use" technology to try to influence others. | 2019-04-26T09:47:29Z | null | {

Phill Gillespie's Blog - PhillG.com: Happy Farthers' Day! On my way back from lunch I walked passed a charity shop and saw a sign in the window. I was going to go in and let them know but at the last moment I wondered a) if they genuinely did think this was the correct spelling and b) what if the illness they are supporting is characterised by learning difficulites (e.g. high correlation with dyslexia). Not wanting to cause any embarassment I left it, after all there are only two days left for it being up. Happy Farthers Day. | 2019-04-22T19:03:11Z | null | {

U.S. soldiers rolled out more razor wire along the U.S.-Mexican border on Monday, but the more important fight took place in a San Francisco courtroom where President Donald Trump's deputies defended his asylum reforms from pro-immigration ACLU lawyers. The judge did not immediately issue a nationwide "Temporary Restraining Order" that would block the reforms, as hoped by the pro-immigration groups. Trump's November 0 reform allows migrants who arrive at the ports of entry to apply for full asylum. But the policy penalizes illegal migrants by preventing them from applying for a full asylum once they are caught sneaking over the border. The illegal migrants are still allowed to apply for a limited asylum, dubbed "withholding of removal." Officials say the reform follows the law by providing asylum-like protections to illegal migrants, but it does not allow the migrants to become citizens, and also helps border officials quickly deport the migrants. The lawsuit is being heard by an English-born judge, Jon S. Tigar. He was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 0000 to a seat on the very progressive, migrant-friendly Ninth Circuit. If he rules against Trump's "withholding of departure" reform, Justice Department will ask the Supreme Court to quickly reverse the judge's decision. The ACLU and its allies argue that all migrants who enter U.S. territory must be allowed to make a request for a full asylum - even if the U.S. territory is on the Mexican side of the border wall or is in the U.S. half of the Rio Grande river. This one-foot-asylum policy would help large groups of economic migrants - such as the progressive-backed caravan of several thousand Hondurans - legally overwhelm U.S. border defenses. For example, on November 00 and 00, coyotes delivered 000 migrants, most of whom are parents with children, or youths traveling alone, to the U.S. side of the border near Yuma Arizona, according to a DHS statement. Once on U.S. territory, the illegal migrants ask for asylum - and often get catch-and-release if the local border officials do not have enough detention space. Trump's asylum reform curbs the caravan by pressuring the migrants to wait in line at the official "ports of entry," rather than by just walking over the invisible borderline in the sand or the river to claim amnesty. At the same time, officials are also limiting the number of migrants who can apply for asylum each day at the official ports of entry. The waiting process, dubbed "metering," allows officials to begin processing roughly 000 migrants per day. The complex legal process takes at least 00 days to accomplish, so a daily intake of 000 people per day adds up to roughly 0,000 people in detention from one entry point. The metering process allows officials to keep a manageable number of people in the process, and to perhaps sharply reduce the number of migrants who are being released into the United States via the "catch and release" loopholes. Ending catch-and-release is vital because it would stop migrants from getting the U.S jobs which fund the migration process. Without access to jobs, migrants cannot pay their smuggling debts to the cartels, and cannot hire the cartels to bring their spouses and children up to the United States. If the migrants cannot pay their smuggling debts, the cartels' labor-trafficking business will shrink. | 2019-04-22T16:08:50Z | null | {

Coursera is magnificent. Choice so wide. they mention 0 sites - only got 0.......? Follow the link at the end of the article. It is funny you mentioned this. The last couple of years I have spent mostly in the mountains with my dogs by day and studying /researching on the net in the evening. I had a awaking as they say. A total conscious mind shift. Not all free. But there's a lot that are. Coursera has been my favorite resource so far. Classes are generally free, but some let you pay for a certificate once complete. Khanacademy.org is the best of all. | 2019-04-24T09:47:29Z | null | {

Each dragon has a territory and the people in it are considered the dragon's personal servants and slaves. Those who are not are considered rebels and are treated accordingly. Most dragons leave the other races to figure things out. How things are for each territory is fully dependent on the dragon in charge. Some dragons are very tolerant about allowing those in their territory gaining power and prestige. These are considered powerful or weak depending on who speaks with them. This is a time when few namegivers dare to make legends of themselves, as legends are executed for their heretical ways. This is a time shrouded in mist and little is known about. All of this means the few who take up the path of the adventurer must be daring and have the guts to defy their masters. Are you brave enough to take up the challenge, to make a legend and defying dragons? Forging a legend in a time when legends and magic must be created to shape the future! If you are interested, please drop me an e-mail. Knowledge of the Earthdawn system is not necessary for game play, though good role-playing skills are. Let's first look some of the earlier stories about Dragons. The very first "written" stories (that we have uncovered so far) on the creation of the world is from the Sumerian civilization generally in the area we call Mesopotania. This area which later became Persia and then part of various Middle East civilization is generally found between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now Iraq and Iran. The actual word "dragon" comes from the Greek language much later than this time so any mundane interpretation of creatures by this name before the Greeks must be by descriptions and attributes and not by name. They were generally considered "monsters" even if they had divine attributes. The very origins and foundations of the entire Mesopotamian culture comes from the stories, culture, and ethics of these Sumerians. The later civilizations of the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, and then Grecians all got much of their philosophy, cosmology, and religion from the earlier stories/ myths of the Sumerians so it behooves us to first look at these early very early stories and pay particular attention to them. In fact so many of the stories sprout the same type of general story line that we can actually divide them into two categories; Gods versus monsters (dragons) before creation and heros versus monsters after creation. Later versions of the stories often change the names of the parties about but maintain the basic story line. Is it possible that all these stories came from a single source and was later simply adapted, adopted, and some elements changed to suit the civilization telling it? This is a possibility to be considered about these first stories. Many later dragon stories will also be changed in the same manner by different areas or countries but with the same original tale. The earlier myths often have a god, usually a storm god or a god armed with thunder and lightning bolts, chasing a dragon that has something to do with water. Examples are almost all of the Mesopotamian stories, the Indian god Indra, both Chinese and Japanese myths, the Mayan Rain Gods, the Egyptian sea dragon/serpent Apophis and pursuer Re, and even many early Semitic stories. From the very start Dragons were seen as guarding treasures, holding back the floods, and dispensing knowledge. They also are battled by gods or heros from the very beginning. In many cases stories from the Sumerians were borrowed and slightly changed by the preceding civilizations. These same stories were very similar in content but with the actual names of the participants changed. The first written commentary, found on clay tablets, uses the names of Asag, a monster/dragon (sometimes named as Kur) and Ninurta, a god/hero. Later we are introduced to this same god/hero as Marduk by the Babylonians and the dragons name has been changed to Tiamet. There is some confusion here as the preserved evidence is not in good shape or complete. In the Babylonian version called the "Enuma elish" Tiamet is one of the original pair of god and goddess at the founding of the universe. From these two all later creatures, good or bad, came into creation. This Goddess is in effect the "mother of all." In the beginning of the tale Tiamet defends her offspring and all of creation from all the minions and forces of evil. But later, when her husband Apsu is killed, she apparently goes mad and decides to end all creation in her grief. This irrational action pits her against all the other Gods and one of her offspring, named Marduk, is talked into opposing her. In the fight that ensues Marduk finally kills her by shooting an arrow into her mouth as she tries to swallow him. She is a shape shifter as most or all early Dragons are assumed to be so fought him in different guises. Even time seems to be effect which will come up again in the dragons versions. After the battle he uses her dragon body to form the earth and from death we have life and substance. The first epic of the hero or human and dragon encounter is the "Epic of Gilgamesh." This we know of by clay tablets from Semitic origin. But these tablets are telling about much earlier versions of the story. Here the hero is pitted against a Dragon named Humbaba who also has shape shifting abilities. Gilgamesh with the aid of the god Shamash finally kills the Dragon but gets in trouble with those other gods who were friends with or supported the Dragon and so has a pyrrhic victory and some penalties for his action are imposed. Not much later we find the Egyptians with a similar story of either Re the sun god or Seth the hero destroying the snake or Dragon named Apophis. Again there is much confusion and contradictions. In this story both the side of good and the side of evil have attributes of the dragon. So once again we see the idea that the winner of the contest with the dragon take on the attributes of the dragon. The Hittites have a story of the battle of a storm god with the Dragon named Illuyankas which also has contradictions and different versions but also follows the earlier stories in general details. Later on we get several versions from the Grecian civilization. There is the story of Zeus fighting Typhon. Typhon is described as "Up from his shoulders there grew a hundred snake heads, those of a dreaded dragon." We will deal with the relationship between snakes and dragons a little latter. But suffice for now to say they are essentially the same. And again this monster/dragon is slain by a mighty thunderbolt from Zeus. Very similar to this is the story of Apollo and Python. Python is alternately described in different versions of the story as a giant snake or a female dragon with many coils. In any case in some versions she is killed by Apollo when the young god shoots an arrow down her throat. But in other version she is taken into his service and becomes a protected oracular serpent at Delphi. It is interesting to note that both Grecian and Romans had serpents or dragons that were kept at various temples including Delphi that were considered to have great knowledge. It is also interesting that Hercules himself consulted the Oracle of Delphi and was directed on his "00 labors" by the advice he got their. Included in his labors were the destroying of the dragons Ladon and Hydra of the Seven heads. A good example of another Greek hero is Perseus who instead of fighting for good versus evil killed a dragon that was about to devour the princess Andromeda in order to marry her and gain a kingdom. The dragon was sent by the god Poseidon or Neptune to avenge an insult. Another hero dragonslayer was Jason who along with his companions the Argonauts had to overcome the unsleeping "dragon of a thousand coils" who guarded the golden fleece. In one version the dragon is ensorcelled into sleeping and they stole away unharmed with the treasure. In another Jason fought the dragon who was a sea dragon and lost the fight and so was swallowed. it was only by intersession of the god Athene that the dragon gave up her prey. An interesting story related to Jason is that of Cadmus who later went on to be the King of Thebes. He was also given advice by the Oracle of Delphi (who was herself a dragon) that eventually led him to fight and kill a golden crested dragon at the spring of Ares. For killing this dragon Cadmus was forced to serve the god Ares for a year but was then allowed to found his city from the children of the dragons teeth. It has been often said that the finding of dinosaur bones by ancient Chinese was the original basis for their "dragon" stories and myths. In reality there is no definitive proof that this is so. It does seem to make sense as large bones from an unknown large creature (i.e. dinosaurs) would cause a superstitious people to believe in large mythical beast such as dragons. But this story actually appears to belong to the category of "folklore", rather than anthropology. The Chinese were a highly civilized peoples and had definite ideas on Dragons which were studied, written about, and philosophized on as if they were rather common creatures to these peoples. This is an attribute that often pervades dragons stories worldwide; offhanded casual acceptance of their presence but debate on what it meant. The reality in ancient China actually appears to be that Dragons were believed in for far longer than peasants were finding large petrified bones. Some of the earliest writings from the Far East mention Dragons, long before it was reported that bones from this creature were found. In many early mythologies from Asia we find Dragons as either God's or messengers to the God's. Again like in earlier Mideast stories the Dragons are most often associated with water and wisdom. But unlike the Mideast and later European stories we find little to no fighting and killing of or between Dragons & Gods or normal people and Dragons. Instead of fear and loathing or even outright worship, here we find Dragons as being desirable to an area and good luck rather than ill falls to those areas where dragons abide. They are often prayed to for deliverance from bad fortune, bad weather, and even bad men. In fact, very early in China's history the emperors are said to be communing with the Dragons to get the advice of the Gods on how to govern their peoples. But somewhere along the way things changed. One very widespread story is of the Dragon Kings. They were known as the Four Brothers when they traveled together. All were water dragons and served the August Personage Jade who commanded them when, where and how much rain to deliver to the earth. Each lived in a Crystal palace and ruled one of the Four Seas via an army of crabs and fish, watchman, and ministers. Their names were Ao Ch'in, Ao Jun, Ao Kuang, and Ao Shun. There is no indication that these kings directly communicated with mundane humans. But their ministers, who are presumably all dragons, apparently did. In Chinese society individualism was strongly discouraged for most of their history. Instead, one was to subjugate ones will to the gods or their representatives including the authorities in power. And that power usually started with the emperor. The emperor himself was to have received his authority and blessings from the heavens and used it for the betterment of all the peoples. But how often in our human histories was this arraignment going to last? Originally it was believed that the dragons were the ones who talked directly to the Gods. The Emperor was given the God's will for his people and he in turned passed on this message to the people through his growing bureaucracy. In this way the Emperor was seen to be sitting on the throne by the will of the Gods and thus divine himself as long as he passed on the god's will as spoken to him. As time went on the Emperors apparently decided to cut the Imperial Dragons out of the deal and claimed to be able to communicate directly with the God's. Of course to protect this monopoly no one but the Emperor was allowed to try and communicate with the Dragons. This is a subtle but definite indication of the strength of the belief that dragons did exist and needed to be communicated with. Otherwise there would have been no reason to give the "no communication" decree and the harsh follow up with strict enforcement. At this point the Imperial Dragons were said to have 0 claws and other lessor Dragon's 0 or even 0 claws. It was now death to try and "communicate with an imperial Dragon." But there were still those who did not believe that the emperor was the only one who should be allowed to gain wisdom by talking to the wisest of the God's messengers, the Dragons. There are more than a few stories from the Far East about various men who sought out this draconic source of wisdom. But to try and discredit them the Imperial court called them "four-men" or those who talked to less than Imperial Dragons. The implication was that only the Emperor could talk to a real messenger from the God's. Later on these same individuals who learned and used dragon wisdom became derided as Foemen. But all of these outlawed individuals seeking out Dragons were supposed to prove their worth to talk to these wise creatures by helping out villagers against bandits or oppressive bureaucrats and such. The tales told of these dragon inspired warriors were very much like the quests and deeds done by the much later heros and the Knights of the Round Table. The Japanese also had Dragon Kings. One of these was named Rinjin or Ryujin. Like the Chinese Dragon Kings he also had a palace under the sea. Like many other dragon stories this one has several versions. In one case it is about his queen and octopus and in another it is about his daughter and jellyfish. In the more popular version the jellyfish was a handsome creature with strong bones, ornate fins, and walked on four feet. The princess had a craving for monkey liver and Rinjin liking to spoil his only daughter sent the jellyfish out to acquire one monkey. To oblige his king the jellyfish found a monkey and invited him to dine at the kings palace. The monkey agreed but on the way back seeing that the monkey was a fine creature confessed why the king really wanted him. The monkey said that it was alright but that he had left his liver in a special jar at home and would go and fetch it. Eventually it became apparent that the monkey wasn't coming back and the jellyfish returned to the Dragon King and told his story. In his rage for the incompetence shown the Dragon beat the jelly fish into a pulp and exiled him from his palace. That is why to this day jellyfish are in the shape they are in. The Koreans also had their very own dragon kings as did the Vietnamese. According to the Chinese their "true dragons" had five claws. All others had 0 or 0. Japanese dragons were said to have 0 claws while Korean and Vietnamese dragons had 0. A Vietnamese story of the Dragonkings starts when a kindly man named Slowcoach finds a cute little animal named Cibet. But his mean brother in jealousy kills the little critter who is then buried under a tree. Every time that Slowcoach visits the grave silver rains down on him. This does not get missed by the brother who also goes to the grave only to be rained on by mud. In anger he cuts down the tree and leaves. Slowcoach decides to sue the fallen tree so shapes it into a food trough for his pigs. They of course do marvelously well and this also is noticed by the brother who burns the trough. Only a little piece of wood escapes the fire and this is fashioned into a fish hook by the gentle Slowcoach. But when he puts the hook into the lake the water raises, the pole and line disappear into this turbulence, the waves and almost drown him. Out of the water walks a beautiful woman who says she is the dragon kings daughter and that the hook is caught in her fathers mouth. Slowcoach agrees too free it and she turns him into a bubble and takes him to her father. The fish hook removed the dragon king rewards him with a bottle containing a little blue fish. After returning home with his reward which he sits next to his bed life goes on. But one day Slowcoach realized that every time he left his home and came back afterwards it was cleaned. To solve this mystery he came back unexpectedly one day and caught the little blue fish turning into the dragon kings beautiful daughter and cleaning the house. In order to keep her there forever Slowcoach broke the bottle and asked her to marry him. She agree on the condition that he make her some bones which he did. They lived happily ever after. As a side note the jealous brother wanting to also get a beautiful wife jumped into the lake in search of the dragon king, but knowing him for what he was the dragon king turned him into a fish. And that was the last anyone saw him except that Slowcoach seemed to spend a lot more time fishing when he wasn't with his new bride. Another Japanese story tells of a dragon named OGoncho who lives in a deep but small fissure lake not far from the Kyoto castle named Ukisima. The area of Japan where the white dragon lives is called Yama-shiro and is reputed to be a former home of some demi-god. Every half century the dragon changes into a golden bird and flies around. If anyone hears this bird calling it is a warning that famine will soon be upon the land. From the Indian subcontinent comes multiple stories of the serpent-dragon named Vitra. He was said to have absorbed the cosmic waters from the universe and coiled around a great mountain. In order to bring water to both the gods and the humans Indra battled this dragon and proved victorious when he used his thunderbolts to kill this monster and released the waters of life for all. This tale is very much like several of the Mesopotamian stories and Vitra is sometimes described as the personification of winter. When winter is killed by the Gods water is released in the spring. The name Vitara is sometimes used in place of Vitra but often this is a completely separate dragon. Another interesting tale comes from the Island of Borneo about a dragon named Kinabalu. He lived at the summit of a mountain of his name. He was the possessor of a fabled pearl of immense size. The Emperor of China heard about the pearl and sent an army to get it for him but the dragon killed all but a few. These survivors return and told the emperor about the disaster and said he could not be overcome by strength of arms. So the emperor sent his two clever sons named Wee San and Wee Ping to get the pearl. Wee Ping could not find any way to get the pearl but his brother came up with an idea. When the dragon went away to hunt for food they would steal the pearl and replace it with an identical looking one. The first part of the plan worked as Wee San used a kite to get to the top of the Mountain to steal and replace the pearl. Unfortunately Kinabalu was not fooled and went after the two sons who were sailing away in a large junk with the real pearl. A fight ensued and Wee San ordered the sailors to heat up a cannon ball red hot and shoot it at the fast approaching dragon. The dragon thinking it was the pearl swallowed it and in doing so was killed and fell into the sea. Upon arriving home in China Wee Ping lied to his father about who had actually succored the pearl and was given palaces and rewards. Rather than fighting with his older brother Wee San left his homeland and went back to Borneo where because of his good deeds and wisdom eventually became a king. The lying brother Wee Ping did not get to enjoy his rewards as he was either punished by the Gods or else there was a curse on the possessor of the stolen dragon pearl. Nothing but sadness and misery befell Ping and he died a broken and poor man. Another tale from the Orient is of one of the only Dragons ever to be converted to a human religion. This Dragon was named Apalala and lived in the Swat river. Supposedly this young dragon was converted by the Buddha himself. He then went around teaching others until he tried it with other dragons who drove him away but allowed him to continue teaching the humans which is why dragons were here in the first place. From the islands of Hawaii come stories of the mother of all dragons called MO-O-INANEA. She is know as the "self reliant" dragon and not much is known of her other than all others come from her. The natives are very reluctant to talk about this dragon and some speculate she may still be around and is being protected by the Hawaiians. From the Island of New Zealand Polynesians comes a story of a dragon monster (called a taniwha) by the name of Hotu-puku. It seems that travelers going between Rotorua and Taupo started disappearing. Thinking that neighboring war parties were responsible these people sent out their own war band. At a place called Kapenga they instead encountered the dragon Hotu-puku and were attacked. During the fight several warriors were killed and eaten and the war band had to flee. Organizing a new dragon hunting party was a man named Pitaka. His plan was to hang a noose across a trail and using himself as bait. The plan worked and when Hotu-puku tried to grab the man he was caught in the rope and strangled. Just to be sure this was the right dragon the party cut open the dragon and sure enough founds the remains of the earlier victims. These victims were buried and then the dragon was roasted and eaten. For his bravery and daring Pitaka became known as a taniwha expert and was rewarded as well as in great demand. His next exploits come at a place called Te Awan-hou where a fierce sea dragon named Peke-haua lived. This dragon lived in a deep water filled lair called Te Waro-uri and could not be easily approached. For this adventure Pitaka used some companions and some magic. He descended alone into the watery lair and tied a magic vine onto the dragon while he slept. He then escaped up to his fellow dragon hunters. Other magic vines and traps were set above the dragon and then he was hauled unceremoniously up out of his home and in the fighting became further entangled and then finally killed. This ended the second adventure of our hero. Next Pitaka went to a place called Kataore near Rotorue in Tiki-tapu. Here some disgruntled villagers told him they were being preyed on by a dragon that had been named Kataore by other locals. This proved to be a simple execution as the dragon did not flee when the group approached it and it was easily killed. Unfortunately this dragon was actually the pet and friend of chief Tangaroa-mihi and he immediately set of after Pitaka and party and chased them out of the area while killed some of the so called dragon slayers in this battle. This was the last we heard of about Pitaka the dragon slayer. Perhaps the most famous of the European dragons is the tale of St. George's dragon. There are two versions of the incident. The first was told by the frightened villagers and appears to be somewhat of a cover-up. In it a dragon appears at the village of Cappadocia and threatens to destroy the region. In fear they first feed off the villages sheep and then finally start feeding the maidens via a lottery until only the princess is left. She is tied to a stake and this is when George came by and killed the dragon. But there is another version that was first repressed by the villagers. But as the older people died their children started telling a different tale. In this version a dragon moved into the region as often happens when they are driven out by a more powerful dragon or are young ones looking for a territory. Being used to catching and eating whatever he can this dragon starts first with deer and wild game but then discovers the easy pickings the farm animals in the area are. No people are bothered but eventually someone (no one remembers exactly who) comes up with a plan to feed the relatively tame dragon at a certain place and at a certain time with the villagers sheep. The idea appears to make this a more predictable dragon. Not knowing knowing any better the intelligent but inexperienced dragon goes along with the plan. Then as he grows he needs even more sheep to fuel his growing body. Eventually this growing young dragon finishes all the available sheep and comes into this now small town and starts looking around for some food. This same bright individual (likely having only sons) who came up with the sheep plan now comes up with a lottery for feeding off the unmarried maidens in the town. Since after sheep they were the most expendable asset the town agreed to the plan. Unfortunately the town had no idea how much food a dragon needs and how protective of his hunting territory he could become and eventually the princess was the only maiden left. So she went out in her turn to the sacrificial pole. Here St. George came along and rather than slay the young and ignorant beastie lectures him on the evils of eating people and the values of christianity in general. He and the princess then put the tame but confused dragon on a rope and lead him back to the town where he is officially converted to christianity, leaves the area, and troubles the town no more. An interesting and almost "Asian" philosophy on dragons seemed to pervade the Rhine River areas of Austria. Here there were many tales told of the "Butz" which was a goblinesk creature and the "Nachtvolk" which we would call elves. But dragons were in another category altogether. They were not considered supernatural but rather simply an unwanted part of nature like wolves, bears, and mountain cats. There are portions of manuscripts found in the area of Vorarlbeg (Western Austria) that mentions them in the same breath as losing a sheep to a pack of wolves. It appears they occasionally took a horse, cow, or some sheep but were rather shy about confronting mankind and were thus never seriously feared or hunted. They were discussed in conclaves of the nobles and determined to be "no threat to the cities and castles" and thus it was though better to leave them to the occasional wandering wise-men and scholars just like in China and Asia. In short they were just another hazard faced by people living in the area but not to be especially feared. Tarasque was said to be a dragon of a different kind. She was reputed to be the daughter of Onachus (a giant serpent) and Leviathan (a water dragon). She came from the sea up the river Rhone and decided to make her home in Southern France. In size she was said to be bigger than 00 elephants, with teeth as large as swords, scales harder than iron, and with a fiery breath. Here she settled and was said to terrorize the region for many years. Many knights and heros attempted to kill her. She was , however, too powerful and destroyed or drove off all that came against her. After seven years had gone by a farmer found her skin with nothing left inside it and everyone rejoiced that she had died. But she was a reptile and every 0 years had to shed her skin so quickly reappeared bigger and meaner than ever. After putting up with her another seven years the villagers tried to lure her into a swamp and to her death, but she refused to be so tricked and destroyed all the remaining bridges in the area in her anger. Finally, after twenty one years of failure St. Martha was traveling in the area and heard about the villagers plight. She went out to face the dragoness alone in a white dress and armed only with her faith and a jar of holy water. Apparently that was enough as she led Tarasque back to the town where the now docile and trusting creature was hacked to pieces. In honor of the event a church was build in Martha's honor and the town was renamed Tarascon. The village of Brand was a remote village in Germany in a mountainous valley. One day a dragon appeared and began eating the villagers cattle and performing mischief toward the poor villagers. Every effort to destroy this dragon ended in failure. Finally a traveling scholar arrived at Brand and was told of the creature. Warning them that the cure could be as devastating as the dragon this personage gave them the choice of a water or fire to be rid of their nemesis. They chose the water. The next evening the skies boiled with thunderstorms and the fiercest storm in memory descended on the mountains above the village. At about midnight the storm had increased to a veritable tempest and the whole hillside where the dragon dwelt collapsed. He could be seen outlined in lightning still attempting to stay above the landslide until a massive bolt of electricity struck him and he disappeared into the muddy torrent. In the morning the valley at its end was completely covered in a landslide of rocks, trees, giant boulders, and mud. Of the dragon there was never again a sight and the area became known as the "dragons grave." The scholar was also never seen again. A famous Norse story was of the dragon Fafnir and Sigurd the dragonslayer. As usual with dragon tales there are several versions of the story. This one starts with the telling of the order of the world and the great serpent Nidhogger which lives at the foot of the tree of life Yggdrasil. Of his kind come the dragons. But the Norse believe that a dragon can be a state of mind also and this tale explores the evils of the human condition. Once there were two brothers named Regin and Fafnir. They were dwarves. Fafnir was recruited by the gods to kill an enemy of the gods Otter. Having done so he was rewarded by an immense hord of gold. But Fafnir's excessive delight and greed for this gold slowly turned him into a great dragon. The brother Regin wanted this gold and so persuaded Sigurd (also called Siegfried in some tales) to kill this evil dragon. Together they dug a hole and as Fafnir walked across it Sigurd stuck his sword into the dragon's unprotected belly and killed him. It was apparently good luck to eat of certain parts of the dragon and so after Regin cut out the dead creatures heart Sigurd cooked it. As he was taking the heart out of the fire Sigurd burned his fingers and put them into his mouth. The dragons heart had magical properties and even this little taste of the heart allowed the hero to understand the speech of the birds. The birds told Sigurd that Regin was planning on killing him and take all the gold so the hero loaded all the treasure onto his horse and rode away. Other versions have the dragon giving the treasure to Sigurd for his nobility and honesty and departing in peace. It is likely that other versions were made into the story of Drachenstein. Another of the many stories having to do with the power of dragon parts and dragon blood is that of the Wilser dragon. The town of Wilser has a village named Helvetia near it. In this area a dragon came and was playing the usual havoc they apparently can when undupervised by the gods. The town magistrate approached a convicted murderer and said that if he killed the dragon his banishment would be lifted. The man was called Winckelriedt and he was handy with a sword and so he agreed. In the ensuing fight the dragon was killed, but as the victor caused his sword to be raised in triumph the blood trickled down onto him and he died immediately. There is a village in Germany called Bezau that apparently has had more than one run in with dragons. In the first tale there was once a very prosperous farm on a hill named Jolerbuhel. One day a beggar came asking for a little money or food. The farmer did not approve of begging so drove him scornfully away. The stranger shouted back that the stingy farmer was going to be sorry and that he was going to bring back something for the farmer shortly to prove it. The sky suddenly turned dark and black and a cascade of water and debris suddenly came down the nearby creek. In the middle of the flow was the beggar leading a large dragon on a red cord. As the farmer stood and watched in astonishment the flow of boulders, trees, and mud was being herded toward him by the dragons deft tail. In a matter of minutes the rich farm was destroyed and all within killed by the fraging debris. Next the stranger took the dragons red cord and led him through the village of Bezau and out the other side never to be seen again. In the next tale there is also a lake no more than an hours stroll from Bezau. There has always been a legend that there was a large dragon who made the lake his home. The lake is very deep and no one had ever found out exactly how deep it really was. No one to this day has ever tried to measure the depth of this enchanted dragon lake. This is true even though another story of this same dragon says that he guards a fabulous hord and most believe it is at the bottom of the lake. There is a deep cleft in the ground in Sussex England named after the dragon who had resided there. His name was Knucker and he was reputed to do the usual mischief that most European Dragons are said to do. In short he wasn't wanted by the locals. As usual there are several versions of how he was killed. One is the tried and worn one of the king offering the princess to anyone capable of killing this dragon. And eventually some knight prevailed, killed the dragon and got his reward. The other two versions are interesting in that they both involved locals poisoning Knucker. One had a local farmer's son named Jim Pulk who put poison in a pie that the dragon ate and then died. And of course reusing a classic theme the boy then also died from sucking on his hands and forgetting there was still poison on them. The third version is that the Mayor of the closest city named Arundel offered a reward and a man named Jim Puttock accepted. In this tale Jim put some poison in some pudding and then when confronted by Knucker talked him into trying the pudding. According to an article in the Sussex County Magazine Jim lived to a ripe old age after killing the dragon. An ancient Teutonic myth of unknown origins tells the tale of The Black Worm which is another name for a dragon. In this tale the Black was discovered sleeping on a hoard of gold when discovered by a local couple. Since the gold pile was immense the dragon could not quite curl all the around it and this man took advantage of that fact to climb up and pick out choice pieces. But after grabbing all he could he got greedy and called to his female companion to come up and get her share. Unfortunately this noise woke the dragon and he roared his wrath at their thievery. The man threw down his ill gotten gains and fled. Looking back over his shoulder he saw the dragon and the gold sink out of sight into the ground, never more to be seen. Another ancient German tale is about a hoard left by a scholar under three large boulders. Scholars were often believed to be magical and found in or near the company of dragons. Atop these boulders was another large rock now called the Galina gorge outcrop. Shepherds used to shelter from the heat or rain under this rock. The story tells of a young shepherd boy who kept finding pieces of silver and gold under them. Eventually the boys father found out and surmised that they were part of the scholars hoard which was now guarded by a dragon. Going to collect this hoard and climbing under the three boulders the father suddenly encountered a terrible thunderstorm. He escaped but the three boulders were buried until only the large rock on top was left flat on the ground. Locals still believe that someday there will be another great storm with lightning, terrible winds, and water. Whoever is brave enough to be waiting on the bridge below will become heir to this hord as the dragon leaves. The most famous of the dragons of Ireland went by the name of Ollipeist. The story goes that when St. Patrick came to Ireland the first thing he did was rid the island of snakes. But then he turned his attention to the dragons and started imprisoning them. Knowing his fate if he stayed Ollipeist fled the country and in so doing left his mark with his tail in what is now called the Shannon Valley. On the Island of Largo was a ruler by the name of Ypocras. Somehow he angered an unnamed goddess who turned his beautiful daughter into a fierce looking dragon. But still her people loved her and called her "The lady of the land" and her father built her a cave inside her former castle. It was said that if any hero was brave enough to kiss her on the mouth she would revert to the beautiful princess once more. Many would be heros came calling but all went away in fear and died miserably shortly thereafter. The lady is still waiting for her true love. The German village of Sonntag was a prosperous mountain village until one day a dragon appeared. The death and destruction to the region was typical of dragon stories told at this time. Nobody could kill or drive the dragon away. But one day a Venediger appeared, befriended the dragon and rode away with him. A Venediger was the German word for supernatural being and could be a dwarf or goblin with a love for crystals and rare minerals. It is also the word for the rock merchants from the city of Venice so it was either a small Venician or a dwarf, both with a love of crystals and dragons. There are many stories told of Jormungand by the Norse people. He is said to be the offspring of the god of mischief Loki and his bride Angurboda. He is also called the Midgard serpent who lives in the sea and is so long that he encircles the whole planet and has swallowed his own tail. This is why he is also prominent in their stories as the World Serpent. There are to many stories and versions to tell here. But they are another example of dragon and serpent stories told at this time. The city of Heidelburg has always had a love affair with dragons unlike most other parts of Europe. For much of the early middle ages this city seemed to be the very epicenter of friendly dragon activity. Dragon eggs were first found in the Neckar river nereby. When incubated in the home and raised properly they were grew into loyal protectors of the hearth of the home. The dragons all had the ability to breath fire and so were especially loved by the local blacksmiths who produced the finest steel in the region because of their reptile helpers. The males of this larger species could fly and a few of the especially brave of the city residents actually became dragon riders. The female dragons were more water lovers and often helped the fishermen. The females were also said to be highly intelligent and some could converse in the human tongues which made them very popular with the scholars and wise-women who would spend much time learning philosophy from them. In addition to the big dragons there was a race of dwarf flying dragons who nested in the warm hillsides near the city. They were very popular with the city dwellers who did not have the room of the country residents and farmers. AQ small dragon would be a better asset to an apartment dweller than their larger cousins. All this happy interactions and love affair between the people of Heidelburg and the dragons came to an end when the christian church moved into the area and the clergymen convinced the people that dragons were actually the offspring of the creatures of hell. When they were turned away from and even killed by their former friends the dragons saddly all left the area and were not seen again. Many in Heidelburg wish they would come back and festivals commemorate this ancient friendship. In the Austrian capitol of Innsbruck of the province of Tyrol was a narrow gorge carved by the Sill river. The Sill ran through a mountain forest that was shunned by the locals because of the rumors of a dragon living there guarding a huge horde of gold. The locals knew this was true because after floods they would find pieces of the dragons hord washed out of his lair by the high waters. Problems arose when the dragon found out that some of his gold was missing and went on a rampage to find where it was. He would destroy fields, farms, orchards, and houses until he found his missing gold. No one could stand against the dragon and the region became impoverished and desolate. A nobleman of royal birth by the name of Haymo lived some distance away but heard of the cities plight. He was a giant of a man standing some 00 feet in height. He gathered up his armor and weapons and came searching for the dragon. When he found the creature the battle began. The tide quickly turned against the dragon and he fled to the refuge of his cave in the forest. But Haymo pursued his foe into his very lair and after a fierce struggle killed the dragon and cut out his tongue to bring back to the waiting locals. Upon seeing this proof the locals asked their new hero to become their leader and he accepted. Many more adventures befell this dragonslayer but in later years he regretted all the killing he had to do and founded the monastery of Wilten on the spot where he had killed the dragon years earlier. Another dragonslayer was St. Margaret. She lived in Antiochia and the story says that she converted to christianity and was then tempted by the governor Olybrius who wanted her as wife. She was imprisoned in a tower and tortured when she refused his advances. She was also tortured and tempted by satan who finally sent a dragon against her. But she was strong in her belief in the Lord and made the sign of the cross over the dragon and he was killed. After this the governor lost patience with this christian virgin and dragonslayer and had her beheaded. This is still another example of stories that show dragonslayers have a short life after killing a dragon. This is the story of St. Magnus and his exploits against dragonkind. As a historical figure Magnus is known to have been born between 0000 and 0000 and is variously claimed by the Irish, Romans, and Alemannians. He died sometime between 0000 and 0000. With some companions he traveled into the then pagan or neo pagan areas of Southern Germany where he constantly battled on behalf of his christian beliefs. He was credited with founding several notable churches and monasteries. Magnus had his first encounter with a dragon at the city of Kempton. This city was originally founded by the Roman's around the time of Christ but over the intervening years became a battleground for beliefs. It was repeatedly conquered and occupied by both pagan and christian armies only to be lost again. It was certainly an interesting place to live in if you liked war. When Magnus came to the city it was said to be empty of men and filled with dragons and snakes. Against his companions advice he decided to sleep in the open just outside the city and was predictably attacked that evening by the dragon (worm) Boas. Calling on the power of his God Magnus was able to kill this powerful boss dragon and chase the rest of them out of the city. The humans moved back in right after this of course. His next encounter was in a valley called the Rosshaupten on his way to the city of Fussen. Here he had to pass by a dragon who allowed no one to leave his valley unmolested unless he was out hunting. This dragon lived in a cave next to a beautiful apple tree. Everything else was said to be bare and desolate because of the dragons wrath. Trusting again in his God Magnus walked up to the lair and challenged the beast. The dragon rushed out to eat this impudent holy man whereupon the human tossed resin and pitch into the dragons mouth which erupted in flame and burned the creature to death. The local version of this is that magnus and his companion Tozzo built a monastery on this very spot. But the official church version is that the monastery was built at Waltenhofen a mile further up the valley from the dragon slaying. Interestingly many other villages in the area claimed to have had dragons that were driven off by this saint as well. The village of Ronsberg was one of these. Here it was claimed that three dragons were ransacking the area. One of the locals was a sorcerer and he had succeeded in convincing these dragons to spare the village and instead raid the other areas. This they did until nothing was left standing or alive except Ronsberg where they turned their attention to once more. Before the sorcerer could again negotiate with the dragons they killed and ate him. The villagers offered the dragons a cow which held them long enough for them to bring Magnus to the village. He brought with him a tribe of bears that he had tamed and set them on the dragons. Outnumbered the dragons tried to get back to their lairs but eventually they were burned out and destroyed by the saint and his tame bears. In still another story Magnus killed a family of dragons but spared the young one because he was innocent of the crimes of his older relatives. The villagers raised the young dragon and fed him on mice and rats. In return as the dragon grew he helped to clear the forest of logs and rocks. He even cut the trees into lumber for the locals. As he continued grow he cleared snow from the fields and even helped build new roads. But he was constantly hungry. The local villagers refused to feed him anything other than the vermin he could catch and so one night he stole a calf for food. Maddened the villagers attempted to kill him in his sleep. One of the villagers cut him with an ax and a stream of milk shot from the wound. This was by far the best milk ever tasted and so the locals tried to make amends to their dragon. But he would have nothing to do with them and left the area and never came back. This the story about a well regarded and handsome hero named Dobrynja who lived with his mother who was very wise. He always had to listened to her sage advice on just about everything. Thatg may explain why he was always going off on quests and such. She especially counseled him never to bath in the river several hours away from their home as it was home to a terrible dragon who killed or imprisoned everyone who went into the river. One hot summer day the hero was riding near this same river and forgetting his mothers warning decided to take a cool bath. Taking of his weapons and armor he left them on his horse as he strolled leisurely into the river to cool off. He now remembered his mothers words that the rivers first wave would spit fire, the second sparks, and the third wave would bring steam. But everything seemed peaceful and calm. To escape the hero swam under the water and out of sight of the dragon until he reached the shore where he had left his weapons. Exiting the waters he discovered the horse and all his possessions had disappeared and the dragon was waiting. Flames came from one dragon head, steam came from another, and sulfur was thick in the air. Looking around in his helpless condition the hero saw only his helmet was still here so he knelt down beside it. The dragon thinking he was begging for his life did not immediately strike. In this short interval the hero had filled the helmet with sand and rock and then jumped up and swung it so mightily that one of the heads was knocked off and the dragon fell to the shore stunned. Gorynytch now begged for his life. But not for himself so much as for his own hatchlings who would starve if he was killed. The noble hearted hero felt sorry for the dragon and gave him his parole provided he never again attacked him and the creature agreed. The dragon had other things in mind now however, and immediately flew up North to the city of Kiev and kidnapped the High Duke Vladimir's virgin daughter. On his way home Dobrynja saw the dragon flying towardhis caves with the Dukes daughter and changed his course to go straight away to Kiev where he met with the Duke to see what had happened. It seemed that no one had the courage to go after the Duke's daughter and when he was informed that the hero and the dragon were recently seen together at the river the Duke order Dobrynja to go to "his friend the dragon" and retrieve the girl. Not knowing what to do the hero went home and told his mother what had happened. His mother was very wise and sent her son to bed to rest. That night she made a special kind of silk whip and in the morning told the hero to go get his grandfathers horse. He was then to go to the cave which would be unguarded and by laying the whip to the horse the dragons younglings would be trampled to death. Doing what he was advised he had just destroyed the brood before the dragon rushed in to see what was happening. Calling the knight an oath breaker the fight was joined and the two antagonists fought for 0 days and nights until Dobrynja remembered the whip. Using it he soon subdued Gorynytch and then quickly cut off his remaining two heads. But the knight had been wounded and sorely taxed by the fight so he bathed in the dragons blood for three days before he recovered and used the whip to remove any poison in the blood he was soaking in. Next he went out to search for the Dukes daughter. One by one the hero searched eleven caves and freed hundreds of the dragons prisoners. But it was not until the twelfth cave that he found the virgin tied to the wall with golden chains. He freed her and took her back to her father where the story ends without telling us what his reward was. Hmmmm, what's the first thing you think of when someone mentions a dragon??? Fierce, mean, brutal??? Actually its none of the above. The only way a dragon can become like this is if its attacked negatively by someone. Dragons are actually gentle creatures that will give you respect if you give them respect. There are many different kinds of dragons, most people know about the Chinese dragon because its on clothes almost everywhere you go now days. According to tradition, china's history dates back to 0000 BC. Although modern historians only go back to 0000 BC. A clay vessel from about 0000 BC is decorated with a dragon picture. The Dragon symbol and figure still exist in modern-day Chinese art and celebrations. Chinese experts were said to be able to tell the age of Oriental Dragons and their origins by their color. Yellow Dragons were believed to be born from yellow gold a thousand years old; Blue Dragons from blue gold eight hundred years old; red, white, and black from gold or the same color a thousand years old. As one can see by legends, there was a time when dragons materialized from the astral plane into the physical plane on a fairly regular basis. Considering a Dragon's intelligence, it is no wonder that they now Choose to stay away from humans. Most humans want to control, dissect, or vanquish everything they do not understand, and even a lot of what they do understand. But that wonderful, vast storehouse of Dragon magick and power is still available if a magician will take the time to learn how to approach Dragons and their deep magickal energies. Do you even think it would be possible for one of them to do that????? | 2019-04-22T06:12:15Z | null | {

Last week was one of the weeks I look forward to the most every year. Two other woman and I hosted a camp for kids ages 0-00. This camp focuses on mindfulness, yoga and cooking, with the kids rotating through each area every day. I am responsible for the cooking part of the camp so every year I have the challenge of finding recipes that the kids will like but that don't activate any of the kids food allergies. In this day and age, with 00 kids involved, this is a big challenge. However, this year I found two different recipes that used black beans- one a savory recipe and one a sweet recipe. After the kids seemed to enjoy both of them, it made me want to explore the nutritional benefits of beans. These are the facts I discovered. Black beans are a food everyone should keep in their cupboard. They are a cheap, easy to prepare source of protein, regularity producing fiber, disease fighting antioxidants, and numerous vitamins and minerals. Black bean's rich, deep color point to their high anti oxidant content that is especially helpful in the fight against color cancer. One cup of black beans provides 00 grams of filling fiber. This fiber helps to keep us regular and provides a feeling of satiety after meals. The fiber is also helpful in blood sugar control. Black beans are low on the glycemic index because they are a complex carbohydrate that the body is able to slowly digest and use for energy without spiking blood sugar levels. Black beans are an excellent source of numerous vitamins and minerals including magnesium, iron, phosphorus, folate, and B vitamins. One cup of these beans provides about 00 grams of fat-burning protein, making them an excellent source of protein for vegans and vegetarians and carnivores. Place the beans, 0/0 cup chocolate chips and oil in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Add the eggs, brown sugar, cocoa, vanilla, baking powder and salt; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a 0-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Bake at 000° for 00-00 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 0 dozen. 0 brownie equals 000 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 00 mg cholesterol, 000 mg sodium, 00 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber, 0 g protein. | 2019-04-18T11:11:50Z | null | {

Last year, the malicious software "Pegasus" hacked into the phone of a human rights activist in the United Arab Emirates, forcing Apple to issue a critical software update to protect its users. The startup's technology verifies users' SIM cards so that they are able to speak with customer-service representatives without having to enter passcodes or answer security questions. Payfone's boss told CNBC that the app could detect inconsistencies, such as unauthorized users attempting to access a mobile app or service. The company believes this will speed up the verification process for legitimate clients and businesses while preventing hackers and insurance fraudsters from accessing users' phones. In early June, Desai's company was announced as the authentication provider for the peer-to-peer mobile payments network Zelle, which is backed by several big banks including Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo. Payfone unveiled its authentication technology at the Mobile World Congress, Shanghai, a conference which showcases new mobile technologies and products. | 2019-04-22T10:29:40Z | null | {

Following my MK0 RTM Tool demo, here is my CFW PS0 Mortal Kombat 0 Real Time Mod (RTM) Tool for Game Patch 0.00. Also when there is further info on what works on the latest game (patch 0.00) I'll update the Tool as soon as I locate the new areas within 0.00. All of any of My RTM Tools go by the Games Patches. it is I, "Grim Doe" That Gamer, Game Modder, Paranormal Explorer, Quantified Individual. @PSXHAX you should really give us the ability to main-page things again.. so i wouldn't have to wait for you to come online i would like to main-page this myself but whatever at least you are here. Well, I'm glad you aren't able to in this case as the download link is useless. That site (ran by GaryOPA's TrueBlue Re-DRM dongle buddy Senaxx) requires users to be registered to download files unfortunately. I don't mind Devs linking to their own blog/page/site/twitter/etc to download files (Rebug, for example) nor do I mind linking to sites like Senaxx's... but to 'force' people to sign up somewhere just to download what they are promoting elsewhere is lame when there are countless free file-sharing services available. Hopefully @GrimDoe will come up with an alternative that works for himself, Senaxx and the valued members and fans of his (myself included) here... because 0000 is approaching and nobody is going to want to re-register on 00 different forums for file downloads that end up posted across most scene sites freely. I was rushing to work when I was posting this morning. I fix it, I added Megaupload for an alternative. Cheers @GrimDoe, I've mainpaged it now as well.. thanks again for sharing it here! Most likely a false-positive because it's an .exe and / or compressed. It's now Apr 00, 0000 at 0:00 AM. | 2019-04-20T06:20:33Z | null | {

The Vatican is a global player in bioethical debates. Its magisterium has been addressing bioethical issues since the birth of this discipline in the Sixties. Encyclicals like Humanae Vitae ("[The Transmission of] Human Life", 0000) dealt with contraception in the context of changing sexual habits; Veritatis Splendor ("The Splendor of Truth", 0000) defended the teaching of the authority of the Church in an age of moral relativism; Evangelium Vitae ("The Gospel of Life", 0000) underlined the inviolability of human life in the context of thorny debates about abortion, euthanasia, and medical research involving human embryos. From the institutional point of view, the Pontifical Academy for Life was established in 0000 as the Vatican department whose mission is defending and promoting the views of the Church in academic and public debates around the world. Theologically and ethically, Roman Catholic bioethics has been majoring on categories like "nature" (understood rather philosophically and statically), "the sacredness of life" (verging towards the absoluteness of what is a created and transient gift), "person" (conceived in rather monolithic terms and not adequately distinguishing human biology and human biography). More than exploring and developing Biblically supported reasoning, Catholic bioethics has preferred locking itself in natural law and the finality of being. If secular bioethics has elevated the "ego" as its idol (i.e. whatever the individual decides, that's fine), Catholic bioethics has tended towards elevating the "bios" as its idol (i.e. the decisive point is wherever and whenever biological life is found). The complexity of life is therefore flattened in both approaches and the Biblical realism about life is left aside. Catholic bioethics has become synonymous with ethical conservatism and frequently mocked in public debate dominated by secularist trends. It has always been defending something and has developed a defensive attitude. However, things may change. A recent move by the Pontifical Council for Culture (another important Vatican department) calls for attention. For the first time ever, the Vatican has signed a contract with a US biotech company (NeoStem) to stir research on adult stem cells. NeoStem is working in the field of regenerative medicine in order to develop cell therapies for autoimmune disorders (e.g. diabetes), heart diseases, and orthopedic ailments. Regenerative medicine using adult stem cells does not destroy human embryos and is therefore ethically legitimate for those who are in the pro-life front. The Vatican financial investment amounts to 0 million US dollars. Not a big deal, but not an insignificant figure either. An international conference at the Vatican on "Adult Stem Cells: Science and the Future of Man and Culture" (November, 0-00) hosted the launching of the joint-venture in the biotech industry and the new Vatican engagement in the bioethical arena. The great promises of the use of adult stem cells were highlighted as far as the reduction of human suffering is concerned as well as their full ethical viability. Participants were also granted an audience with Benedict XVI who delivered a speech reinforcing the morality of using adult stem cells over against the immorality of destroying embryo stem cells. The Vatican is well aware that the bioethical debate is very polarized. In the area of regenerative medicine, the embryo stem cells versus adult stem cells debate has taken a very ideological turn. It is more often a clash of opposing worldviews than an informed scientific and moral discussion. So far the Vatican has tended to embody and support the conservative side of the debate offering philosophical and moral arguments against embryo destruction and for the use of adult stem cells on the basis of Catholic moral theology. The partnership with NeoStem amounts perhaps to a paradigm shift or at least to a broadening of scope. The regenerative medicine battle will not be won by arguments, principles, and values alone. Those who discover sustainable cures first will win the day. So the Vatican, in investing in the adult stem cells industry, shows its willingness to run the race by financing research on adult stem cells with the expectation that it will deliver what it promises before the embryo stem cells industry gets to it. First come, first served. Of course the Vatican will continue to play its role in the battle by way of its traditional contribution, e.g. through encyclicals, documents, conferences, moral suasion, etc. It will keep on employing its philosophical and theological expertise in order to support its moral framework. It will continue to let its voice be heard through its institutions. Yet this is not enough. For a global player like the Vatican, the bioethical challenges of our day require a new two-fold strategy as a moral reference point and as a financial investor. The Vatican seems to have the know-how and the resources to do both. | 2019-04-18T21:00:39Z | null | {

Last week I wrote about an Adobe Launch extension I built to familiarize myself with the extension development process. This extension can be used to integrate Adobe Analytics and Target in the same way that used to be possible prior to the A0T integration. For the first several years after Omniture acquired Offermatica (and Adobe acquired Omniture), the integration between the 0 products was rather simple but quite powerful. By using a built-in list variable called s.tnt (that did not count against the 0 per report suite available to all Adobe customers), Target would pass a list of all activities and experiences in which a visitor was a participant. This enabled reporting in Analytics that would show the performance of each activity, and allow for deep-dive analysis using all the reports available in Analytics (Target offers a powerful but limited number of reports). When Target Standard was released, this integration became more difficult to utilize, because if you choose to use Analytics for Target (A0T) reporting, the plugins required to make it work are invalidated. Luckily, there is a way around it, and I'd like to describe it today. In order to continue to re-create the old s.tnt integration, you'll need to use one of your three list variables. Choose the one you want, as well as the delimiter and the expiration (the s.tnt expiration was 0 weeks). The changes you need to make in Target are nearly as simple. Log into Target, go to "Setup" in the top menu and then click "Response Tokens" in the left menu. You'll see a list of tokens, or data elements that exist within Target, that can be exposed on the page. Make sure that activity.id, experience.id, activity.name, and experience.name are all toggled on in the "Status" column. That's it! What we did in Analytics and Target made an integration possible - we now have a list variable ready to store Target experience data, and Target will now expose that data on every mbox call. Now, we need to connect the two tools and get data from Target to Analytics. So what does this code do? It starts by adding an event listener that waits for Target to send out an mbox request and get a response back. Because of what we did earlier, that response will now carry at least a few tokens. If any of those tokens indicate the visitor has been placed within an activity, it checks to make sure we haven't already tracked that activity on the current page (to avoid inflating instances). It then adds activity and experience IDs and names to a global object called "targetExperiences," though you could push it to your data layer or anywhere else you want. We also set a flag called "targetLoaded" to true that allows us to use logic to fire either a page tracking call or an event tracking call, and avoid inflating page view counts on the page. We also have a failsafe in place, so that if for some reason Target does not load, we can initiate some error handling and avoid delaying tracking. My code above is written in a way that allows you to track a pageview on the very first mbox load, and a custom link/event tracking call on all subsequent mbox updates. You could do this with a utag.view and utag.link call (Tealium), or trigger a Bootstrapper event with Ensighten, or a direct call rule with DTM. If you do this, you'll need to make sure you configure the TMS to not fire the Adobe server call on DOM ready (if you're using DTM, this is a huge pain; luckily, it's much easier with Launch), or you'll double-count every page. You could just configure the TMS to call a custom link call every time, which will probably increase your server calls dramatically. It may also make it difficult to analyze experiences that begin on page load. What my Launch extension does is fire one direct call rule on the first mbox call, and a different call for all subsequent mbox calls. You can then configure the Adobe Analytics tag to fire an s.t() call (pageview) for that initial direct call rule, and an s.tl() call for all others. If you're doing this with Tealium, make sure to configure your implementation to wait for your utag.view() call rather than allowing the automatic one to track on DOM ready. This is the closest behavior to how the original Target-Analytics integration worked. I'd also recommend not limiting yourself to using response tokens in just this one way. You'll notice that there are tokens available for geographic data (based on an IP lookup) and many other things. One interesting use case is that geographic data could be extremely useful in achieving GDPR compliance. While the old integration was simple and straightforward, and this new approach is a little more cumbersome, it's far more powerful and gives you many more options. I'd love to hear what new ways you find to take advantage of response tokens in Adobe Target! | 2019-04-19T00:34:01Z | null | {
