global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72050 | I just moved my code over to a different computer, and code to play sounds that worked doesn't because AudioSystem says there are no Mixers, which are necessary to output any sound. The computer has the usual mixers and they work outside Java, so why doesn't it find them? I've searched the web and can't find anyone else who has had this problem. I've been doing this for 15 years with similar code! The computer is a 32-bit Dell running Win7, like my previous computer.
Here's code that searches for Mixers, and I know it works.
private static void listSourceDataLines() {
System.out.println("Available Mixers:");
Mixer.Info[] aInfos = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
for (int i = 0; i < aInfos.length; i++)
Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(aInfos[i]);
Line.Info[] lines = mixer.getSourceLineInfo();
for (int j=0; j<lines.length; j++) {
System.out.println(" "+lines[j].toString());
if (lines[j] instanceof DataLine.Info) {
AudioFormat[] formats = ((DataLine.Info)lines[j]).getFormats();
for (int k=0; k<formats.length; k++) {
System.out.println(" "+formats[k].toString()); |
global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72085 | Make 3D Dungeon Tiles for $1
Upgrade from that plain beige battlemat to some nice looking dungeon tiles that'll really make your dungeons pop up from the table. This is a great starter project for crafting your own terrain, and it's easy to move on from this to all sorts of different terrain, scatter, and even your own models. Plus this is something you're going to use all the time, so the effort-to-value you'll get from it is unmatched.
Dungeon Tiles
You can get 2 ft square of pink rigid foam at your local hardware store for around $5. If you're going to be doing a lot of foam crafting you can get 4ft x 8ft for around $20 which is more economical. For this project you're going to want a 10x10 inch piece, a 6x6, around five 3x3 pieces, at least two 2x4 pieces, and two 1x2 pieces for a total of of around 200 inches of area, or a little less than $1 worth of foam. You could even get this for free if you went to a construction site and asked for their scrap foam.
To cut the foam you can use a sharp kitchen knife, utility knife, or an x-acto knife. You can either cut straight through the foam (use sawing motions, don't just push), or cut a line along the foam (scoring it) and snap the piece off.
You'll also need some aluminum foil, the stuff in your kitchen that you wrap leftovers in. Take about as much as you'd use to wrap up a sandwich. If you don't have any aluminum foil then go have gyros one day for dinner or lunch and keep the foil they wrap it in. That's a free prize found outside.
The last thing you'll need is paint and a small brush. You can get a pack of craft paints with brush off amazon for around $10, but you can get a much better price if you visit your local dollar store and get some cheap paints there. Garage sales and thrift stores will also often have paint for cheap. Any acrylic paint will do, really. If you've got an old can of paint from painting the walls that will work. This will potentially put your upfront costs higher, but no matter what paint you find you're going to have some left over for future projects, so don't feel like you have to get the expensive stuff. In a pinch, just leave them unpainted.
You're going to need black paint (as a base coat) and then ideally two shades of grey, one dark and one light. Any ratty old brush will do, and in fact it's ideal since you're going to be dry-brushing. You can also use some white paint as highlights if you like, but don't go overboard. If you get some cheap paint and a brush for $5 or less then the amount of paint you'll be using will be a couple cents worth. That's cheap enough that someone at your school, office, or game store may just let you have some of theirs.
Cutting foam
To start, measure out your pieces. Each square will be an inch, which is the standard size for most miniatures. If you're making a 3x3 piece, then measure out a 3 inch by 3 inch square on the foam and use a pen or pencil to mark your lines. Don't worry too much if your corners aren't exactly 90 degrees, these are going to look like rough and worn stone tiles when you're done. Once you've marked out your shape take your knife and cut out the square.
With your piece cut out, then the next step is the grid. Measure along the edges of the foam and put a mark every 1 inch. Once you've made all your marks, connect up your lines so you have a 1 inch grid on the face of the foam. If it's a 3x3 piece then you'll have 9 squares in all. Then with just the tip of your blade you're going to make a shallow cut along the lines, don't cut all the way through. Just a quarter of an inch or less. Then take your pencil or pen and push it down into the small groove and drag it along the line. Do this for all the lines and you'll have visually distinct tiles that pop. Also score down the sides of the foam so it looks like these are each individual blocks that someone placed.
Grid and cracks
If you want a little extra detail you can add some cracks along the surface of the stone. Just jam your pen or pencil into the foam (it's soft enough you can do this without scoring with a knife) and make a jagged line across the tile. The worse it looks, the better. These will be cracks formed in the stone from years of neglect. It's a nice little detail that makes your dungeons seem old and run-down. Don't go overboard with the cracks and try to avoid any obvious patterns, you'll find that less is more when it comes to little details like these.
Finally, there's a simple technique to transform this smooth foam into hewed stone. Take your aluminum foil and bunch it up into a ball, as tight and compact as you can get it. Then just press and roll the aluminum foil all over the foam. The texture of the foil will dig into the soft foam and leave an imprint on the surface similar to that of stone. Easy!
Base coat tiles
To paint your tiles, first cover the whole thing in black paint and let it dry. You might need to do an additional coat or two until there's no more pink showing through. To do the dry-brushing start with a clean, dry brush. Then put just a liiiittle bit of the dark grey paint right on the edge of the brush and wipe almost all of it off on some toilet paper or scrap paper. You'll need much less paint than you think. Gently drag the brush over the tiles, trying to hit only the highest points. Press harder as needed, but always be gentle at first. You should end up with something like this, a mix of black and grey tiles with black in the grooves. Let this dry.
Adding color to tiles
To add highlights, use the light grey paint and dry-brush just the edges. Be careful not to overdo it here, it takes just a little bit of paint to really make it pop, and if you add too much paint over too much of the tile then you'll lose your definition. If you mess up you can dry-brush over the highlights with your dark grey paint and try again. If you want to add even more highlights with white you can do a third pass, but be careful to add very very little. You'll only need a tiny amount even compared to the tiny amount you already used.
Adding highlights to tiles
That's it! You're done. Some people like to put a clear-coat of polyurethane to protect the tiles, but these are so cheap, easy, and durable that I don't really bother. Any scratches they might suffer just make them look better, and if any of the paint wears off you can easily dry-brush on some more. Repeat the process for any size or shape of tiles you might need and you'll have a full set of professional looking dungeon tiles that will really impress.

Proverbs 26:24-26 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven ABOMINATIONS in his heart. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
Lips is the manifestation of you’re heart, proclaiming life or death. So a hateful soul will manifest death. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischie, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
We are created to manifest God mind and will as heaven citizens in physical life. To victoriously navigating the schemes of evil in this world we must rely upon God’s wisdom and strength. It is impossible for us to know all, but God knows all. Jesus Christ knows everything completely, He knows you and everything that you even forget.
Holy Spirit, lead us, guide and teach us the truth and to stand firm in our faith when the adversary comes our way. May our lord God condemned him and Hold us close and do not let us waiver in our convictions, our love for You, or our love for others. The deceivers will have their day before the Lord Jesus, and that day is sure.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72120 | Troubleshooting SNMP scanning issues
SNMP is one of the protocols through which Lansweeper can retrieve data regarding network devices like printers, switches, routers etc. By default, Lansweeper retrieves various properties from these devices via SNMP. This includes basic details such as serial number and description, but also more advanced details such as interface and toner information. This article explains how to troubleshoot SNMP scanning issues.
If the SNMP protocol was not scanned for a device in your network, do the following:
1. Follow the steps in this article to ensure there is no general scanning issue.
2. Make sure that TCP port 135 is closed on the device, as having this port open will cause the device to be identified as a Windows computer. Windows computers are not scanned via SNMP.
3. Make sure SNMP is enabled on the device.
The procedure to enable SNMP can vary greatly between devices. Consult your vendor's documentation.
4. Make sure SNMP on the device responds to a read request on OID This is a system OID that should exist on SNMP enabled devices. Lansweeper tries to read this OID first. If no response is given, it is assumed SNMP is disabled or not working and Lansweeper skips SNMP scanning.
5. Make sure SNMP traffic in your network (over port 161) isn't blocked. Scanning requests are sent outbound by your Lansweeper server and are accepted inbound on your network devices.
6. If you're using an SNMPv3 credential, make sure FIPS compliance is not enabled on your Lansweeper server.
7. Use the devicetester.exe tool, found in the folder below on your Lansweeper server, to test the SNMP connection to the device. Launch the tester from your Lansweeper server directly, submit the IP address of the device and your SNMP credential. Read-only rights are sufficient for your credential. A successful SNMP test should list the ObjectID of the device as seen in the screenshot below.
Program Files (x86)\Lansweeper\Actions
using devicetester to test SNMP access
8. Once SNMP access works in the test tool, make sure the correct SNMP community string with read access (the one previously used in devicetester) is submitted under Scanning\Scanning Credentials in Lansweeper and mapped to the device.
9. Rescan the network device, e.g. by hitting the Rescan Asset button on the device's Lansweeper webpage.
10. Verify whether SNMP was scanned by looking for an OID in the Summary tab of the device's webpage. If no OID is present here, SNMP wasn't scanned and custom OIDs cannot be scanned either.

Envelope Stuffing - One Piece Flow
To make up for not having a post last week, I've embedded two videos of envelope stuffing below. That's right! Mesmerize yourself with some exciting footage of people stuffing envelopes!
Actually, stuffing envelopes is a perfect lean activity for demonstrating one piece flow. It's simple and cheap. The process consists of multiple steps. And everyone's familiar with the method.
It wasn't too long ago that my wife was preparing for our wedding day. I also was roped into some of these preparations. The table was lined up with wedding invitations, ready to be signed, folded, stamped and mailed. This was in my dark pre-lean days and I assumed the fastest way would be to batch them.
Well, apparently that's not the case. Here follows video evidence that batching is slower than one piece flow.
The first video shows one man taking on the task. He times himself stuffing 10 envelopes, the traditional batch and queue method. After 10 envelopes, he repeats the task, one envelop at a time. The time shows that one piece flow is faster!
Some key things to note. During the batch process, tons of inventory build up. The envelopes by their nature don't stack very well when folded, showing some of the dangers of inventory (messy work place, bad 5S).
Now, what if my wife realized she wrote the wrong name on the wedding invitation? It would be a bit of task sorting through the stack of half opened envelopes to find the right one. The rest would be falling all over the place.
Here's the first video. The second one is below it. For those that can't see the embedded video, you can watch it on youtube here.
The other thing that needs to be remembered when watching these videos is the benefit of one piece flow to the downward processes. With one guy, one process, this benefit is essentially lost. So what if it's a little faster? Sure that's a benefit. But with multiple people doing the envelope stuffing in a row, you can demonstrate the real power of one piece flow. Less inventory through the process and faster cycle time for the first piece through the system.
This brings me to my second video. Here we have two teams competing against each other using two people each. This is the perfect opportunity to how one piece flow is more efficient. One person can be folding and stuffing, while the other is closing and stamping.
Unfortunately, the video disappoints. Both teams seem to be batching the process. I'm only showing the video as an example of how you could use this as a team activity, rather than a single person demonstration.
Here's video number two. You can watch the original on youtube here.
To do this properly, I would use 4 people in a row. Each person does one step of the process, Person one folds, person two sticks it in the envelope, person 3 seals the envelope and the last person stamps it.
With this pseudo production line, you can control the WIP inbetween. Start with each person passing papers in batches of 5. Time how long it takes to go through the whole system. Nest, get each person to pass after completing one at a time. This way you can illustrate the benefits of reducing inventory between processes.
As demonstrated in both videos, stuffing envelopes can be easily used to illustrate lean processes. Whether as a one person demonstration or as a group activity, finding some envelopes and stuffing them is very cheap and requires basically no set-up.
For a more in-depth paper based lean activity check out the Making Pamphlets game, updated as "We're Having a Party".
I've added this activity to my list of free lean games and training simulations.
If after all this fun, stuffing envelopes is still too boring for you, consider stepping it up a notch with these awesome (and more complicated) mechanical paper card designs.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72147 | What Is the Dark Web and Who Uses It?
An online underworld offers anonymity to perform both legal and illegal tasks
In the dark web, web pages exist on networks that require special software for access. People use the dark web to remain anonymous or untraceable. You won't find dark web pages returned in your search engine results but, even if you never go there, you should know about the dark web and why some people want to visit this region of the online world.
Layers of the Web
Person in hoodie accessing the dark web
Lifewire / Chloe Giroux
To fully understand the dark web, it's helpful to know how it relates to other parts of the web.
• Surface web: This is the web you know. It's where you are now. Here you can enter a term into a common search engine like Google or Bing and receive results that point you to pages that are likely of interest to you. The surface web is the top, visible layer of the web and is sometimes called the "clearnet."
• Deep web: The deep web/invisible web is made up of information that cannot be indexed/searched by familiar search engines. Examples include financial information stored online, a database of scientific knowledge, or even medical or legal records stored on the internet using technology that blocks search engines from including them in search results. Though you can't find deep web sites through Google, anyone can search for them with invisible web search tools.
• Dark web: The dark web consists of mostly illegal information, products, and services that don't hold interest for the average user. The dark web is a small part of the deep web but is even less accessible; you need a specialized browser to go there. That browser allows you to visit pages using a specialized protocol that your normal web browser doesn't use. Finding your way into and around the dark web takes a bit more computer knowledge than using the surface web or deep web.
Deep web and dark web are often conflated, which can be confusing when reading about these topics. If it helps, consider the various layers of the web as a body of water: anyone can access the surface with no problem but you need special tools (say, a snorkel) to go deeper where interesting things might live. To go deeper still requires a totally different setup (scuba gear or even a special vessel) because that level isn't accessible any other way.
Dark Web Uses
While some people access the dark web for criminal purposes, others have legal reasons to do their online business anonymously.
Criminal Use of the Dark Web
The dark web's offer of anonymity is a huge draw for those who want their illicit activities sealed away from the public eye. These people are there to procure pornography, drugs, weapons, stolen bank account details, stolen user accounts and passwords, hacking software, counterfeit money, and even murder contracts.
An entire marketplace, known as the Silk Road, was infamous for buying and selling illegal narcotics as well as a wide variety of illicit goods and information. These items could only be purchased using bitcoin, a virtual currency that functions independently of governmental monetary systems and can be transferred anonymously through dark web networks. The Silk Road was shut down in 2013. After an investigation, its founder, Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced to life in prison without parole. According to some sources, over $1 billion in goods and services were sold there before it was taken offline.
Using the dark web may not be quite as anonymous as you may hope, especially if you're not a sophisticated user. In fact, people are caught engaging in illegal activities on the dark web. Using these tools makes you much more difficult to track, but not impossible.
Noncriminal Use of the Dark Web
On the other hand, some people have legal reasons to want anonymity. Their lives may be in danger or the information they possess is sensitive or even volatile. Journalists have been known to use the dark web to contact sources anonymously or to store sensitive documents. The dark web has also been a safe haven of sorts for people who need to share information without being detected by an authoritarian regime.
Others may simply want a level of privacy not available on the surface web to perform normal tasks like participating in social media, playing games, reading news, sharing files, or sending emails.
Tools for Accessing the Dark Web
To use the dark web, you need to download a special browser client, the most popular of which is Tor. This software connects you to the subset of networks that make up the dark web and anonymizes every step by encrypting where you are, where you're coming from, and what you’re doing. You become anonymous, which is one of the most alluring aspects of the dark web.
Although downloading these encryption tools and clients isn't illegal, using them sends up red flags about you. People who end up breaking the law often start here, so law enforcement finds value in keeping track of these initial uses.
Once you've installed Tor, your browsing is made anonymous, which is crucial for visiting any part of the dark web. However, instead of just accessing regular websites that end in .com or .org, you can now visit special .onion URLs as well.
Facebook on the onion tor network
Onion sites look just like regular web pages; the only difference is how you access them. You can find places to visit on the dark web at dark web search engines like Torify.me. |

Your server is serving script content instead of executing the script.
You need to install Apache CGI module and Perl CGI module. You will probably need to update you Apache configuration accordingly.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72155 | Using a post-merge git hook to clean up old branches
Written by Mike Street on 28th March 2019
No comments
Git hooks are powerful things. They live in each git repository and allow you automate parts of your deployment or git process. They are bash scripts which get fired at certain steps, so anything that can be done on the command line can be done in a git hook. A prime example would be to run specific tests before you commit or push.
Git hooks live in the .git/hooks folder in your repository. If you've never explored the .git folder before it is worth having a poke around. Git is completely file-based, so all your commits, remotes and branches are stored in this folder.
Example hooks
The .git/hooks folder comes pre-filled with some example hooks you can use, all prepended with a .sample file format. If you wish to use any of these, remove the .sample from the file name and ensure the file is executable.
We can do this via the command line and as an example, I've done it with the pre-commit hook below
Note: the $ denotes the command is for the command line and should not be typed.
$ chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
The first line renames the file, removing the .sample and the second line adds executable permissions for the file, which allows git to trigger the file.
Post merge hook
The post-merge hook will fire after a git merge has been done. For example if you are merging a feature branch into your master branch, or your master branch into a feature branch, this hook will fire.
The hook will then detect if the merged branch was master - if it was, it will do nothing.
If not, it will ask the user if they wish to delete the branch they have then merged. If nothing is done (or anything except y is entered) then the branch will remain. If a y was typed, it will delete the branch that was merged both locally and from the remote (if it exists).
Create a new file in the .git/hooks folder titled post-merge
$ touch .git/hooks/post-merge
You can then edit that file with your editor of choice. Vim or nano if you're using command line or an IDE of choice.
Note: You might have trouble locating the .git folder in your explorer or finder if you don't have "show hidden files" enabled.
Paste in the below, it is commented to help explain what is is happening:
exec < /dev/tty
# Get the current branch name
# Get the name of the branch that was just merged
reflog_message=$(git reflog -1)
merged_branch_name=$(echo $reflog_message | cut -d" " -f 4 | sed "s/://")
# if the merged branch was master - don't do anything
if [[ $merged_branch_name = "master" ]]; then
exit 0
# Begin output
echo " "
echo "You've just merged the branch \"$merged_branch_name\" into \"$branch_name\". "
# Ask the question
read -p "Do you want to delete the \"$merged_branch_name\" branch? (y/N) " answer
# Check if the answer is a single lowercase Y
if [[ "$answer" == "y" ]]; then
# Delete the local branch
echo "Deleting local branch \"$merged_branch_name\""
git branch -d $merged_branch_name
# Delete the remote branch
echo "Deleting remote branch"
git push origin --delete $merged_branch_name
exit 1
echo "Did not delete the \"$merged_branch_name\" branch"
Save the file and, lastly, ensure the file is executable:
$ chmod +x .git/hooks/post-merge
With your hook ready to go, try making a branch with a commit and merging it in.
Let me know how you get on, if it could be improved or if you have any other git hook suggestions.

Beauty Therapist's Guide To: Tanning
Since spray tans are one of the services that I'm trained in, I thought I'd share my knowledge with you. Whether you're using a self tan at home or going to a salon to be professionally spray tanned, you can still get the best out of it. At the end I'm also include the instructions before a spray tan and tips to help it last longer, just in case your therapist has missed something.
So firstly, the thing you need to know is that all false tans stick to the horny layer of skin (no sniggering at the back please!) This is the top layer of skin that you are constantly shedding and replenishing. You should be advised by your therapist to exfoliate 24 hours before your tan. The reason for this is that it gets rid of any build up of dead skin cells but gives your skin enough time to replenish what is lost so that you have just the right amount for the tan to react to, giving you a more long lasting colour. Once you know this you'll probably be as puzzled as me that some premium brands offer an exfoliation as part of their procedure directly before your tan. It will still develop but won't last as long.
All self tan products contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA.) DHA is a colourless sugar that interacts with the dead cells in the horny layer. It always makes me laugh when people try to say that something doesn't have that 'typical fake tan smell' because it mightn't at first but you will always get that scent to some degree because that's the DHA working it's magic.
Now if you have any dry areas on your body like your elbows and knees, the therapist should provide you with a barrier cream to smooth a thin layer over those parts so that the tan doesn't cling too much. If you're tanning at home the best thing to do is to mix 50% of your tan to 50% moisturiser in those areas to lessen the colour. This trick has always worked brilliantly for me. I do generally do this also for my hands if I'm using a tanning lotion as there's nothing worse than having patchy hands.
Once your tan has developed as per the guidelines, it's important to know that oil breaks up tan. I'm a big fan of body oils but if it's going to lose me my newly bronzed colour than I will steer clear of it. Also shaving is a form of exfoliation so if you try and do of this beforehand or even better, waxing (which would need to be done at least 24 hours prior to false tanning) it will help keep your tan even.
If you're nervous of getting a spray tan, don't be. I know you're potentially stood with a limited amount of clothes on with a stranger, but all they're concentrating on is making sure they've followed the correct procedure and covered you evenly with the solution. If anyone shows signs of nervousness with me I tell them straight 'look I'm looking at you like a fence panel that I need to get all areas,' I normally get a giggle out of them.
So onto the preparation before your spray tan:
* Exfoliate 24 hours before
* Shave or Wax 24 at least hours before
* Apply polish to your fingers and toes to prevent staining
* Ensure you arrive with no make up, perfume, lotions, oils or deodorant on
* If your hair is long, bring something to tie it up with.
* Wear lose clothes for when you leave.
* Wear older underwear
After your spray tan:
* Do not use oils (body, hair, cleansing)
* Avoid the rain / any types of splashing whilst developing.
* Blow your nose so that the colour doesn't give you a shock later!
* Try to not wet the backs of your hands when washing them whilst the tan develops.
* Avoid touching underwear / whatever you tanned in or your skin for a while.
* Wipe over all nails to remove any excess solution.
I just wanted to add a little bit on the end of this post about spray tans. I have people contact me and ask me the price but no one ever asks me what brand I use. I suppose that's because if you're not in the industry you wouldn't know what was good but you can easily find out online!
If this spray tan is for an important event, a prom, a wedding etc then you really should ask around what's good. Use social media to your advantage "Who knows somewhere that does good spray tans?" The amount of times I've had people say to me "I had a spray tan once and it was orange..." There is a vast difference between each brand in terms of colour and lasting power. For the sake of a pound or two wouldn't you rather have a golden brown natural colour than an orange toned solution used on you? If I said to you "50p more and I'll do you a 7 day tan over a 3 day" one you'd jump at the chance I'm sure!
For reference I use Nouvatan which is currently a UK produced and based company. This post isn't sponsored by them, in fact I shalt even be telling them it exists. For each treatment I offer I research the best brands I can find and on colour and staying power Nouvatan won hands down.
I hope this post was useful to you, I've tried not to miss anything out!! I've you've made it this far - thanks so much for reading !

What’s New in MadCap Flare 2017?
The latest release of Flare comes packed with new features, including:
New Clean XHTML Output
Flare can now produce clean XHTML files – files that are free from MadCap-specific tags. This new output is not dependent upon other MadCap-generated files, it is simply your single sourced content from Flare. It is especially useful when you need to repurpose this single sourced content into other systems.
Pin Variables for Quick, Easy Access
Find yourself relying on the same variables throughout your project? To save time, you can now pin your favorite variables, making them easily and quickly accessible for future use.
A Live Dynamic Preview Window Displays Target Outputs While Authoring
The new Preview window is dynamic, and can stay open while you work and save changes in the XML editor. With the preview window open you can select any topic, snippet or master page in your project. No need to open the file in the XML editor first. You can also select different targets with the preview window open. When a different target is selected, the preview window will refresh showing the content using settings (like your conditions) in that target.
When the preview window first opens, it floats over the XML editor. If you happen to have a dual monitor set up, you have the option to drag it to another monitor while editing your topic in the other monitor. Another option is the ability to dock the preview window if you prefer to customize your work space.
Whether you choose to float the window or dock it, you can now keep the preview window open and have it dynamically update when a different content file is opened or saved in the XML editor, or when different targets or files are selected in the preview window.
Microsoft® Word Equations Convert to MathML on Import
Equations in Microsoft® Word are written in Office Math Markup Language, the format used in Word. When you import Microsoft Word files, Flare now gives you the option to convert equations to MathML, the web standard and Flare format.
Synchronization of Topic Title and TOC Entries
With the new system variables in Flare, you can now ensure that your TOC entries are in sync with your topic titles. When the topic title is changed, the TOC entry will automatically update as well. If your topic doesn’t have a title (and it doesn’t have to), Flare will then use the first heading it finds in the topic instead. And if it doesn’t find a heading, it will use the file name for the topic. By default, when you drag a topic into the TOC, the TOC entry will use the “LinkedTitle” variable. However, you have the option of choosing a different system variable instead, like the “LinkedHeader” variable if you prefer the TOC entry to always use the first heading in the topic, or the “LinkedFile” variable if you want to force it to use the file name. If you don’t want to create this linking at all, you can always type the text manually.
Integration with the Official Release of MadCap Central
We’re thrilled to announce that Flare 2017 coincides with the official release of MadCap Central, a powerful cloud-based content management solution for technical writers and content developers.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72212 | Writing reflects life and thought, my friends, and punctuation plays an important part. Yet, how like Nicodemus! There are teachers of grammar and yet so many do not understand these earthly things. How then can we speak of what we know, bear witness to what we have seen, and offer more celestial testimony? Facebook memes.
I jest, in part, of course, but the fact that Grammar Nazi is a recognized expression demonstrates how polarized English speakers and writers can be.
Punctuation is a funny thing. Some of it is now dependent upon style. Various forms are considered acceptable, even in more formal settings. At the same time, more rigorous standards may be set. Publishing houses have style books for those who write for them, and authors are expected to submit to them for punctuation, capitalization, references, etc. But publishers are not alone in the practice. Any company in a business with press releases may have an “in house style guide” in addition to a general practice embracing a particular style guide.
I won’t wax poetic on commas, although I’m sure some can, but I’m not sure contemporary literature can compare with earlier stuff. How much is punctuation taught these days? And I know for a fact that several things I was taught are actually common misunderstandings. It’s like Nicodemus: the teachers of grammar and yet so many do not understand these things.
Ladies and gentlemen, some people care about the proper use of n- and m-dashes. And, you may be surprised to hear this, but punctuation can make for some awfully interesting reading! I’ll probably post several recommendations (as I remember them!), including probably the best known:

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72231 | What are the signs and symptoms of sleep disorders during pregnancy?
Updated: Aug 20, 2019
• Print
Symptoms related to sleep (eg, insomnia, sleep apnea, hypersomnia, and parasomnias) are more common in pregnant women than in nonpregnant women. Pregnant women are most likely to snore and to have insomnia and daytime sleepiness. A variety of factors may contribute to this increase in symptoms, including weight gain, hormonal changes, nutritional stress, and nocturnal discomfort. [32]

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72243 | Why I'm not keeping my Samsung Series 5 ChromeBook
I received my free Samsung Series 5 ChromeBook (the ChromeOS notebook given out to all Google I/O attendees) a couple of days ago, and was excited to try it out. I decided not to keep it however, because of multiple hardware issues:
• The touchpad requires you to physically click to generate a mouse click event. It's hard to depress the pad with your pointer finger because of the high spring constant, but if you use your thumb, then the wide click area of the edge of the thumb can hit the pad non-simultaneously, and as a result (as the contact area grows) the mouse cursor can jump away from the click target before you have actually depressed the touchpad, meaning you miss the target and/or click on something else instead. This is one of the biggest non-starters for me, it's extremely frustrating. I'm not the only person who has reported this problem.
• External mouse support seems to not be enabled yet -- at least, the mouse I tried didn't even get powered up -- which means I can't work around the touch pad behavior.
• Thhe keyboardd typpes doubble letterss freqquently. Not sure if it's a hardware bounce or a software glitch. It feels like it might be a hardware bounce, which implies this may not be fixable.
• There are no Delete, Home/End or PageUp/PageDown keys. There are alternatives to Delete (Shift+Backspace) and PageUp/PageDown (Alt+Up/Down) but there is no alternative to Home/End. This makes editing text a pain because you have to frequently reach for the touch pad or use Ctrl+Left/Right to move a word at a time to the beginning or end of what you're editing.
• The keyboard isn't super-nice to type on. I can't put my finger on why exactly.
• Scrolling complex pages can be just slow enough that it bugs me, and opening lots of tabs at once (e.g. when the session is restored each time you log in) can slow down the machine. Even when not restoring a session, there were times when a tab would lock up for 30 seconds, generating a dialog stating "The following tabs are not responding; kill them?".
• It's really quite heavy (though construction quality is very solid).
On the positive side, battery life is awesomely long, and, other than the speed issues on complex pages and/or when restoring many tabs at once (which is the tradeoff for long battery life, I guess), the Web experience is very smooth and fluid when interacting with most individual pages. The browser came with not just Flash but also the Google Talk voice/video plugin installed, which was a nice addition.
Overall, my experience using the ChromeBook for an entire day while sitting in a conference was just frustrating enough that I have decided not to keep it. |

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72264 | How to Avoid Tooth Sensitivity from Teeth Whitening
Posted on: September 6, 2019
The American College of Cosmetic Dentistry states that a single whitening session can improve the color of a person's teeth by as much as 10 shades after a single visit.
How teeth whitening works
There are two major classes of products that are used for whitening treatments: bleaching and non-bleaching. The latter is used to eliminate surface stains from a patient's teeth, but it does not improve the color of a tooth's inner layers. On the other hand, bleaching products typically contain carbamide peroxide, and these seep into the inner layers of the tooth, whitening these areas as well as the surface.
Tooth sensitivity and whitening treatments
Whitening treatments can lead to increased tooth sensitivity for some patients. It is caused by a bleaching agent soaking into the dentin and leaving the nerves inside exposed. It leads to enhanced responses when the patient's teeth come in contact with sweet, hot/cold foods or beverages.
Whiteners that do not contain a bleaching agent like carbamide peroxide typically lead to less sensitivity. On the other hand, over-the-counter products are usually more likely to lead to increased sensitivity, especially if the product is in gel form.
The degree of sensitivity a patient deals with often depends on factors such as how long contact lasted with the whitener and how concentrated the solution used is. Professional bleaching solutions have the highest concentrations since they are only used by trained professionals who can safely administer them.
Whitening treatments can also lead to the irritation of the gums if the product is allowed to seep into them. This is highly unlikely to occur when the procedure is being performed by a dentist, but it is a possibility when over-the-counter products are used. Over-the-counter whiteners often come with a standard, one-size-fits-all mouthguard that is used to apply the product. The fitting will not be as tight as if a customized mouthguard was used, so some of the product might make its way into the gums. Other side effects of bleaching treatments include:
• Increased pulp sensitivity
• Tooth root resorption
• Loss of restorative materials
Getting relief
The increased tooth sensitivity that is associated with whitening procedures is typically temporary. It can be reduced and managed by doing simple things like:
• Using a less concentrated whitener
• Reducing the length of time each treatment lasts
• Spacing out bleaching sessions more
• Using a desensitizing gel, toothpaste or varnish
• Brushing gently
• Avoiding hot and cold foods
• Using desensitizing tools prior to and after treatments
Start your journey towards whiter teeth
Reduce the odds of your teeth becoming more sensitive by getting your whitening procedures performed by a professional. Our dentist will take every step to ensure you end up with whiter teeth while dealing with little or no sensitivity. Call or visit our clinic today.

How To Handle 'Teeth Grinding' In Babies And Toddlers

Table Of Contents:
MomJunction gives you reasons and causes of bruxism and shares some quick ways to prevent it in infants.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the medical term for a condition where an individual grinds his or her teeth or clenches the jaw very tightly. It occurs in adults but is also prevalent in babies and toddlers. About 20-30% of babies and toddlers suffer from bruxism (1). Sleep bruxism is not normal and is considered a sleep-related disorder that may require medical attention but not necessarily medication.
What Are The Symptoms Of Bruxism?
Often parents learn about their baby’s bruxism when he shows symptoms such as deteriorated teeth health, jaw pains, or headaches. In addition to these, there are other symptoms:
1. Teeth make grinding noises: This is the first sign. Your little one makes audible sounds of grating or grinding teeth when asleep or awake. However, he is oblivious to the activity and does it subconsciously.
1. Sore gums or jaws: The toddler may regularly complain of aching gums or jaws in the morning. The constant grinding of the teeth creates pressure on the muscles responsible for mastication, which makes them sore by morning. If the baby is young, then he may frantically rub hands around the jaw or face due to the pain.
1. Chronic headache: The temporal muscle, used in mastication, is attached to the sides of the skull at the temples. A sore temporal muscle can radiate pain all across the head causing a headache. If your toddler suffers from severe bruxism, he may complain about a constant headache, especially acute pain around the temples.
1. Chipped or grated teeth: The teeth would appear grated, flattened, or chipped, especially along the edges. Teeth most affected by bruxism get flattened with some displaying a deep sunken crest.
1. Abnormal tooth loss: Due to the constant pressure, toddlers with bruxism have loose teeth that shed much before the permanent teeth grow out.
1. Bruises on tongue or inner cheek: You can observe redness on the walls of the inner cheek and bruises on the tongue. It occurs when the flesh of the inner cheek or tongue accidentally comes between the clenched teeth.
1. Snoring and mouth breathing: This is observed in babies/toddlers who suffer from bruxism due to obstructive respiratory disorders such as sleep apnea or adenotonsillar hypertrophy.
The symptoms are discernible if the parents stay vigilant. But why does bruxism occur in babies and toddlers?
What Are The Reasons For Bruxism?
The causes for bruxism are unclear, but there are some probable reasons why a baby or toddler would grind his teeth:
1. Teething pain: Infants can clench their jaws as a response to the pain caused by teething (2). Grinding their teeth helps subdue the pain.
1. Ear infection: Pain caused by ear infection can radiate all the way to the lower jaw, making the baby grind his teeth as a response. Do note that ear infection is not a direct cause of bruxism.
1. Sleep apnea: Babies suffering from obstructive sleep apnea may grind their teeth as an incidental effect of the condition (3). Sleep apnea causes the jaw muscles to open the mouth involuntarily, which leads to grating and grinding of the teeth due to the constant tension on the jaw muscles.
1. Infection of tonsils: Infection of the tonsils, especially adenoid tonsils, leads to hypertrophy or abnormal enlargement of the tissue. The pain and airway obstruction cause teeth-grinding. Babies and toddlers that suffer from bruxism due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy could have at least 75% of their airways obstructed due to the swollen tissue.
1. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): There is a clinically proven correlation between bruxism and the occurrence of ADHD in a toddler (4). In these cases, grinding of teeth can occur at any time of the day. Those receiving medication for ADHD have a higher occurrence of bruxism.
Little is known about the exact link between ADHD and bruxism, although some studies suggest that bruxism in ADHD toddlers is due to external stress such as family problems, mental disorders in parents or fragile psychological stress factors. One study found a higher incidence of maternal depression among ADHD toddlers with bruxism than those who had ADHD without bruxism (5).
Psychological disorders are often linked with bruxism with a study indicating that a toddler with a mental disorder is 3.6 times more likely to develop bruxism (6).
1. Stress: While stress is outright dangerous for toddlers who have ADHD, it can influence even the healthy ones to develop bruxism. In toddlers, this stress can be due to simple conditions such as joining a new playschool or living with a disliked relative. Toddlers also have a tendency to throw tantrums that may take a form of anger and irritation, leading to subconscious teeth grinding.
1. Neurological disorder: Neurological disorders may increase the prospects of a toddler developing bruxism. For example, acute bruxism is observed in toddlers with cerebral palsy in combination with a host of other oral problems (7). Poor motor control and neural degeneration are often the reasons for teeth grinding. Therefore, the severity of bruxism is likely to be proportional to the seriousness of the neurological disorder.
1. Sleep disorders: Bruxism has a particular association with sleep disorders (8). An example is the greater incidence of bruxism among toddlers who sleep talk. Like several sleep-related problems, sleep bruxism occurs during REM sleep, therefore, making it a sleep disorder.
After you observe the symptoms and understand the causes for teeth-grinding in your little one, you need to take steps to address the problem.
How To Manage And Treat Bruxism?
Unless very severe, bruxism does not require any treatment, and most babies and toddlers will outgrow the condition (9). There is no specific treatment for bruxism, and most doctors aim at stopping the baby or toddler from grinding teeth by treating the underlying medical condition. Curing the cause invariably treats bruxism. However, there are some simple ways to manage bruxism in combination with the treatment of the fundamental problem:
1. Stress management: Stress is among the first things a doctor probes to discern the cause of bruxism. As a parent, you can chat with your toddler to understand if she is disturbed due to something in her life. Managing stress becomes more important for babies and toddlers who suffer from neurological disorders due to their limited capability to tackle stressful situations. They need counseling and parental support.
1. Physiotherapy: Toddlers can be trained to have greater control of their jaw muscles by using behavioral physiotherapy. It helps them learn the correct way of using the jaw muscles. It works especially well for toddlers who grind their teeth even during their waking hours and may have trouble eating.
1. Dental mouthguards: A toddler can sleep with a dental mouthguard if the damage to his teeth is extreme. The mouthguard looks like braces and forms a barrier between the lower and upper jaws. It prevents grinding of teeth leading to better oral health.
1. Dental correction: A doctor may prescribe dental correction if the condition is on account of teeth alignment. Toddlers still have milk teeth but can suffer from misalignment, which can cause abnormal contact between the teeth of the upper and lower jaw.
1. Muscle relaxants: Muscle relaxants are prescribed by the doctor as oral medicines, which the toddler can have before bedtime or whenever he is prone to grinding his teeth. Muscle relaxant drugs are used as a last resort when the patient’s response to treatment is extremely slow or when the condition is severe.
Bruxism in itself is not an emergency, but there are certain scenarios in which you need to act swiftly.
When To Rush To The Doctor?
Here are some situations where you must show haste in consulting the doctor:
1. Bleeding from gums or mouth: If your baby/toddler has excessive bleeding from her gums or any part of the mouth, then it could indicate severe bruxism.
1. Bruxism is accompanied by fits or seizures: This can happen due to acute neurological disorders or neural degeneration due to a disease.
1. Baby/toddler is unable to eat: Inability to eat properly may lead to stunted growth, which can have long-term negative repercussions.
1. Pain is causing constant colic: During teething, excessive teeth grinding can leave the gums terribly sore leading to intense pain and tension in facial muscles, which is common in infants.
Prompt treatment is essential to prevent bruxism from causing any lasting damage to the health of the baby.
Long Term Effects Of Bruxism
If left undiagnosed and untreated, bruxism can cause some serious problems like the following:
1. Temporomandibular joint disorder: The temporomandibular joint connects the mandible or jawbone to the skull, acting as a hinge for the jaw to open and close. Bruxism can cause excessive pressure on the joint, which makes general actions such as chewing quite painful. It can also cause a clicking sound every time the baby or toddler chews (10). This acute pain and discomfort while moving the jaw is referred to as temporomandibular joint disorder.
1. Facial myalgia: It is the constant sensation of facial pain during normal activities such as speaking or smiling. Teeth-grinding creates immense pressure on facial nerves that may eventually malfunction by transmitting consecutive pain impulses to the brain.
1. Headache: Those suffering from bruxism are thrice more likely to suffer from headaches. Your child could suffer at the baby and toddler stages and beyond, leading to a chronic headache.
1. Abnormal tooth breakage: If bruxism becomes a constant problem, then it may damage permanent teeth that cannot be replaced. It can impact the general well-being of the little one.
Therefore, it always helps to prevent than wait for bruxism to strike with full force.
How Do I Prevent Bruxism In Babies And Toddlers?
There are no concrete steps to avert the problem, but there are some simple things you can do to mitigate the chances of your baby developing bruxism:
1. Have a relaxing routine for the baby/toddler: Alleviating stress is the best way to reduce the chances of your little one developing bruxism. You can have a relaxing routine for the baby/toddler, especially before bedtime, by giving him a warm bath or reading out a soothing story. Interact with your baby regularly to understand his feelings and thoughts.
1. Let your baby have adequate sleep: Lack of sleep can lead to fatigue, which adversely affects the health and growth of babies and toddlers. Sleep relaxes muscles that can reduce the chances of bruxism.
1. Staying alert about a medical condition: Perhaps the best preventive measure is being watchful of any medical condition that your little one has. If you believe he is showing signs of a problem, or even bruxism, then bring it to the attention of a pediatrician.
Teeth grinding is common in children, but understanding the underlying cause is important. As mentioned above, bruxism could be the result of many problems, including psychological issues. Therefore, be alert and consult a pediatrician if you observe something amiss.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72278 | Yes, you can get a health insurance policy if you are pregnant. And if you get pregnant in the future, your policy can pay out for some medical care.
Health insurance cannot pay for most routine care and treatment during pregnancy. But it can pay for some emergency treatment and pregnancy health complications.
What is not covered?
Most policies do not pay out for the health conditions that usually come with pregnancy like
morning sickness, aches and pains. This is because insurers see pregnancy as a planned choice, and not as an unexpected health condition.
You can visit your NHS GP or midwife for help, treatment and advice for health problems like morning sickness.
But if you want private maternity healthcare like giving birth in a private hospital, this is not usually covered by health insurance. You would need to pay for it yourself directly.
Fertility treatment like IVF is not covered by most health insurers, so you usually have to pay for this yourself.
What can it pay for?
Pregnancy treatment
Some policies can pay for treatment for emergencies or complications related to maternity like:
• Caesarean sections
• Gestational diabetes
• Eclampsia
• Miscarriage
Some insurers also pay a baby bonus of around £100 if you become pregnant after you take out the policy.
Non-pregnancy treatment
Health insurance can pay out for a wide range of treatment for medical conditions not related to your pregnancy. Here is what health insurance covers and how it works.
It is usually designed to cover short term conditions, not illnesses that take years to cure or that you have before you take out the policy. Here is how insurance for pre-existing conditions works.
Where to find pregnancy cover
To find a health insurance policy you should check:
• The cover: Each insurer has different rules on the medical conditions and treatments it covers. Make sure you only consider policies that will pay out if you make a claim.
• The limits: Some policies come with limits on how much they can pay out per year, per condition or per treatment type. Some also come with a waiting period, which is how long you have to hold the policy before you can make a claim, e.g. ten months.
• The cost: The best health insurance for you should be the cheapest policy that comes with the cover you need. Check the premium you have to pay each month and the excess.
You can get help finding the best pregnancy health insurance by using our broker. You can get a range of health insurance quotes from them as well as guidance on which ones provide the cover you need. |

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72312 | Graphic or image editing and modifying probably is a challenge for amateur bloggers or web freshies. To edit and optimize the quality as well as the size of web images need some good image editing tools or applications. It might incur costs and require skills to produce good images which can be added or embedded to a site. To keep things simple and easy, users probably can try the recent web based graphics editing tool, Smushit, brought by Yahoo.
Despite its name, Smushit is an excellent web service that helps users to optimize the size of web images without compromising their visual quality. This web-based application uses image format specific non-glossy image optimization tools to reduce the file size of the digital images. After reducing and optimizing the image size, users will be notified with a report or summary of the total image size reduced and they can download the modified image file as a single zip file.
Smushit is free and doesn’t cost users a single cent. Users can download and install it as a Firefox Extension and use it with the Firefox browser. Alternately, users can upload the digital images via their browser or provide a list of image URLs, and Smushit is smart enough to do the rest automatically. |

How to Create An Effective Email Autoresponder Series
Define Email Autoresponder
An email autoresponder is an automated sequence of emails sent to a segment of people. Whenever a user performs an event. For example, he buys your product or joins your list. He will receive an automated email in response to his action.
At the same time, you can engage users by sending them tutorials. So, it helps in boosting sales and building relationships with users.
You can send them in a preset sequence at a predetermined time. Also, you can create the content of the emails in advance.
Why does an online business need Email Autoresponder?
Email autoresponder series help an online business to boost their sales and revenues.
1) Greet new subscribers:
Your new subscribers are the key to glorify your business. By creating a welcome email campaign, you can greet them. Generate their curiosity by introducing your brand and its history. Engage with them by asking them questions and knowing about them.
Remember to include all your social buttons towards the end of the mail. It will help in multiplying your subscribers. Also, it will strengthen your relationship with them.
2) Motivate new subscribers:
Educate the new users about your brand. The new users know about your brand but don’t know how to use it. By creating onboard autoresponder series, you can make them aware of its use. You can display the richness of your brand that will solve users’ dilemma. Thus, clarifying their vision towards you.
For example, If a user has signed up for a free trial of amazon web services.
• In the first mail, send the user about how to start building a solution.
• Second mail, provide them a 10-minute trial tutorial.
• Third email, give them tutorials to help them learn how to build a solution.
This is how you can lend a user to log in to your services.
email new subscriber
3) Nurture your leads
Although Subscribers attracted through a welcome email campaign. There could still be chances that they won’t buy your product. To engage them more, you can nurture your leads through informative content. So, to convert leads into customers. You need an effective lead nurturing email autoresponder workflow.
Hence, you can target your goal through the email sales funnel.
4) Convert leads into customers:
Autoresponder email series represent the email sales funnel. You can plan the user’s path through the pre-written email series.
Let’s take an example: When a user subscribes to your services, send them an automated thanks for subscribing mail. Wait for their response. Ensure their trust by educating them towards your brand. The above events fall under marketing qualifying leads.
Following it, you can qualify the leads by providing them value by listening more to them. This way, you can easily convert leads into customers.
5) Confirm user’s action
Confirmation emails prove to be a great success in online marketing. This means when a user performs an action. You can send him the autoresponder confirmation mail. You can send it for the following actions:
• Registration.
• Shipping
• Subscription
• Sale
6) Promote referral program:
Create an autoresponder mail to promote your referral program. Let’s have a look at email autoresponder example.
For example, you can reward your customers if he or she refers to the brand offer to his friends. The user receives an invite link in the mail. Also, a customer can share the link on social media accounts through social media buttons. Thus, it further propagates the sales.
referral- program-through-email
7) Promote your upcoming events:
Inciting customers to your webinars or event is not an easy task. Hence, creating an effective autoresponder email series is quite important.
For example, if a visitor opts-in and registers for the webinar. You can engage him by providing relevant information about the event. So, you can send a series of automated emails(such as thank you an email, event link email, reminding for the event and so on)to the user.
promotion email campaigns
Thus, Autoresponder email series is a productive way to attract and delight your customers.

Reporting overcrowding on the train
If you find yourself in an overcrowded train, please let us know via the NS app so that we can improve our services.
Reporting crowded trains with the NS app
We analyse the reports of crowded trains we receive via the NS app to help us make forecasts and to keep our crowding indicator up-to-date and reliable. We also use the data to improve our services. We investigate reported trains, and take actions such as extending the trains on specific routes.
How does the crowd reporter work?
1. Plan the journey you are currently making, or have made in the past. You can report overcrowding afterwards using the crowd reporter.
2. Press the train for which you wish to report the level of overcrowding.
3. Click on ‘Report overcrowding’. On an iPhone, this button is on the top right of the screen, and on Android it is on the bottom right.
4. You can now report the level of overcrowding. You can indicate how you feel about the level of overcrowding using a smiley, as well as specifying whether you had to stand or were able to sit, and whether you travelled in 1st or 2nd class. You can then click on 'submit' to report the level of overcrowding.
What happens to my reports?
Every crowding report is important to us. The more serious reports we receive, the better idea we have of the number of passengers and whether it is a one-time incident or a structural problem. And if it's the latter, then we will take action to correct it.
Crowding indicator
The crowding indicator in our NS app shows you the number of people you can expect on a specific train. This is represented using 1, 2 or 3 figures. A red exclamation point next to the figures indicates that the train is shorter than originally planned, so it may be more crowded than usual. That way, you can see if an earlier or later train may be less crowded, so that you can have a comfortable journey. |

When it comes to the core Hadoop infrastructure, you have two components: storage and processing. The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is the storage component. In short, HDFS provides a distributed architecture for extremely large scale storage, which can easily be extended by scaling out.
Let us remind you why this is a big deal. In the late 1990s, after the Internet established itself as a fixture in society, Google was facing the major challenge of having to be able to store and process not only all the pages on the Internet but also Google users’ web log data.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72445 | imagesdI want to talk about the importance of not shaming our children, while all too aware that it's a tricky topic to engage with without feeling shame around causing our child to feel shamed! But the shame minefield needs to be tackled if we're to collectively break the shame cycle! Ultimately we all want to raise children who truly can stand tall and continue to believe in themselves despite the constant challenges of this world.
Shame leads to diminished self-esteem. When children feel ashamed of their actions, they all too easily start to feel ashamed of who they are.
A child feeling shame can lead to a range of unhealthy behaviours including:
• Shame can result in lower self-esteem and negative self-talk or potentially over time, they can even lose belief in themselves.
• When a kid carries shame it can manifest as aggression.
• Shame can result in a kid not having the confidence to hold boundaries.
• Shame can result in children developing a false persona, hence appearing overly confident to hide feeling inferior.
• Shame can lead to a child being overly competitive, struggling to cope with not winning.
• Shame can result in a lack of motivation to succeed.
• Shame can lead to anxiety-based shyness (different from being naturally introverted), which can inhibit them from a range of activities and projects.
• Kids can lose their motivation to cooperate and engage with their parent's requests and guidance in general when there's the risk of being shamed.
• Carrying shame makes it more difficult for children to be considerate towards others.
• When shame is unresolved, it can lead to bigger problems again in the teenage years, including vulnerability to peer pressure, addictions or other self-harming habits, and suicidality.
To summarise, shame can cause a child to have a conflicted relationship with themselves, as well as difficulties in their relationships with parents, siblings, teachers, friends and relatives.
Shamed kids often bully or become vulnerable prey to those who bully. Adults shaming their child, or shaming another in front of their child, gives ample permission to children to mistreat or talk down to others. When a child carries shame, they are at a dramatically higher risk of mistreating others or being unable to access help when they're being mistreatment themselves.
Shame leads to aggression. Aggression leads to shame. Let's break the cycle by committing to not shame. No matter what the child does, they deserve for their dignity to be preserved.
Read Aggression - why children lash out and what to do
Why do parents and teachers so often talk to kids in a shaming way? Parents often simply wish to make the child feel ashamed of the behaviour being discouraged, believing that deterring them in this way is the way forward. Without examining the more subtle effects, it's easy to believe that the end justifies the means, especially when an approach has been modelled by people the parent or teacher themselves looked up to or saw as an authority. But sadly the result of shaming tends to be the child feeling ashamed of themselves. Parents ineffectively try to encourage self-respect, self-care and self-discipline with comments like "have you no shame, how could you act like that / dress like that / talk like that". Instead of aiming to shame kids into acting the way the adults believe they should act, it's our role to treat children kindly and respectfully through all the parenting challenges so that they indeed foster FEELINGS of self-respect. The reality is that it's instilling a negative self-image and leads to lots of yucky feelings which (if not released and resolved) continue to drive unhealthy behaviour. Shame leads to children being overly dependent on the approval of others because disapproval touches on the painful shame they carry. When kids feel heard and respected by their parent or teacher, the adult has a huge amount of influence to help them expand their thinking and explore what might have or would work better. Read Setting limits with love.
Shamed people tend to shame people - until feelings of shame are addressed. There may be the odd exception, but I'm just going to generalize here and say we all grew up in environments where there was the omnipresent threat of being shamed. We were shamed for not getting it right, not working hard enough, not being clean and tidy enough, not doing well enough in school, or indeed doing "too well" for which you may have been accused of "getting ahead of yourself" or causing a sibling to feel insecure. You may have been warned to "not let it go to your head" if you succeeded, and chastised when you failed. Most adults were shamed for eating too much or not enough, for being too skinny or too fat, for being too shy or too boisterous, for making a mistake, for crying, for being too emotional or too optimistic. We felt disdain from parents, teachers, relatives, society in general when we didn't conform to all the rules, regardless of whether those rules aligned with our values. Shame erodes one's sense of self, yet just as sad is the absence of empathy, compassion, reassurance, and space to express our feelings through all of life's ups and downs. Is it any wonder that most adults have deeply held beliefs that they're not good enough. Many additionally grew up in religious communities who also hold the fundamental premise that good behaviour can only be achieved by fearing punishment. Once again this instils much toxic shame!
To prevent or remedy your child carrying feelings of shame, you can commit to a shame-free environment at home. When one child shames the other, adopt the approach of mediating instead of shaming. When holding a limit, do it in a way that continues to show care for their disappointments and frustrations. When you need to express concerns about problematic behaviour or patterns, use I statements to model ownership of your feelings and avoid character assaults. This isn't a how-to article, it's more about increasing your awareness of these patterns to help decrease the risks of inadvertently causing shame. As well as offering some compassionate validation for the wounding of shaming that you likely gained in childhood. Maybe just start with my Stress Relief for Parents tracks, it offers so much more than stress release (which can't be underestimated), you'll feel like I'm supporting you to learn to be kind to yourself.
Village Members: In this video Genevieve discusses how to help children turn around their inner self-critic, the negative self-talk like "I'm an idiot", "I'm stupid".
Also how to resolve the issue of children taking their frustrations out on their sibling, name calling "you're stupid", "you're an idiot", and otherwise being verbally aggressive. Watch Now.
Peaceful parenting connection based approaches, on the other hand, result in children feeling good about themselves. When a child feels at peace in themselves, they're motivated to treat others well because they naturally enjoy positive relationships with other people. When children are free from shame, they're also free to hold boundaries and stand up for what they believe in. Resilience is ultimately about maintaining a positive relationship with self and hence doing what needs to be done to bounce back even when painful experiences happen in life.
To protect our children from becoming shamed, we need to be able to notice when it's happening and then either intervene to advocate for our child, or express our regret and repair their dignity if we did the shaming. Adults saying or doing the things that shame a child mostly happens unconsciously as a result of the adult being desensitized to shame when they were young. To become sensitive to how we're affecting our child emotionally, it helps to become more aware of how it felt for us on the receiving end of insensitive treatment as children. The tracks of my Stress Relief for Parents CD were recorded with the intention to support parents through this journey.
“A person with internalized shame believes he is inherently flawed, inferior and defective. Such a feeling is so painful that defending scripts (or strategies) are developed to cover it up. These scripts are the roots of violence, criminality, war and all forms of addiction.” ― John Bradshaw, Healing the Shame that Binds You
As a counsellor, I live in the world of helping parents heal from debilitating shame. Much of my work is helping people uncover the deeply embedded unconscious beliefs gained from the messages from their family of origin that result in them continuing to repeat unwanted patterns (including addictions, self-harm, suicidality). The more shame a person holds, the harder it is to get help with the problems the shame creates because shame by it's very nature causes people to want to hide those parts of themselves. Shame-based negative beliefs (like "there's something wrong with me", "I'm so messed up", "everybody else is succeeding but I'm failing") can be changed when identified as being expressions of feelings of shame and those feelings are shared with a compassionate caring support person. Ultimately, we need to give to ourselves the empathy and loving acceptance of the painful feelings that we needed as children. True self-care and self-respect drives the journey of learning to create healthier relationships with others where we can feel seen, loved and accepted for who we are and no longer try to please the people who would more likely shame us than be real and vulnerable with us.
Alice Miller wrote: "As a therapist I know that we can free ourselves from inherited patterns if we can find someone to believe us and stand by us, someone who instead of moralizing wants to help us live with the truth." To be this person for our child, we need to find at least one such person in our lives.
It's easier to prevent the shaming that leads to destructive behaviours than to change it all in adulthood. Much of this very deep therapeutic work with clients over the last 27 years or so plus my own decades-long journey of uncovering and healing the impacts of my own childhood abuse continue to motivate me to help parents understand how much power they hold to instil self-love or shame. None of us can completely break generations of negative patterns of relating in one generation, but we can go a long way to pointing our emotional generational line in a different direction. And the more we work on all this, the more our children will help us by showing us when we're off track!
Becoming more aware of how vulnerable children are to feel shame and the negative impacts greatly motivates us adults to avoid shaming our children, to protect them from shaming from others and to repair any shaming that's happened in the past.
Did you as a child experience shaming? What form did it tend to take? Were you sometimes on the receiving end of ridicule, sarcasm, mocking? Or perhaps you were compared with a sibling or other children? Were you subjected to moralizing lectures from parents or teachers "you should know better"? Most parents themselves grew up in a family where parents liberally said: "look at the state of this place, you should be ashamed of yourself". And of course, that word doesn't even need to be spoken, as disdain gets expressed through facial expressions, body language and tone of voice.
Social media can take public shaming to the next level. Some children experience shaming in the form of being betrayed when they shared something personal that either gets shared on without their permission or it gets later held against them. Sometimes parents talk about their child to others in a way that makes the child squirm. Or parents chastise, talk down to or otherwise criticize their child in front of others and it results in the child feeling humiliated. And sadly in more extreme cases, parents have used the power of social media as a way of creating intense levels of public shaming, which can be very traumatic. When you were a child, were you openly belittled or were there adult jokes at your expense? Or for many children, they experience a lot of mocking, shaming, name calling and humiliation from siblings.
Much of the shaming children experience happens in the name of humour, often humour between adults either at a child's expense or that exposes children to confusing adult themes that can erode their innocence and lead to shame.
Did you experience sexualized looks, comments, insinuations or touch that made you feel confused and ashamed, that caused you to carry secrets that no child should ever have to carry? One of the most toxic forms of shaming for a child, of course, is sexual abuse.
My Body Belongs to Me
to learn more about empowering your child to have a healthy body image and to grow up feeling empowered with healthy boundaries to protect themselves from invasive, sexualizing or labelling language or touch. (Read the full article)
Did an adult touch you roughly, maybe grab your arm gruffly, pull your hair, pinch you, tickle you against your will, hit you or even hit you on the buttocks or the back of the thighs. For a child to be physically hurt by an adult always has at least some element of shame attached to it. Yet when a child is hit on their thighs or buttocks the shaming impact is even greater. When this happens it's invariably a reenactment from the parent's own childhood. It's a complete and utter invasion of the child's bodily boundaries. As tragic as it is that children ever get hit, to be physically violated in such a private part of their body so close to the genitals has a devastating effect that will take an adult a lot of work to undo. That is if they are indeed lucky enough to discover the wounding impact before being at risk of passing it on to their child.
We can't completely protect our children from being shamed, but we can help them know that it's not ok. When kids know that shaming isn't ok, they will more likely feel free to put up a boundary when they feel shamed. And much more likely to have the confidence to seek help when needed. Parents greatly empower their child by making it safe for them to put up a boundary to their parent when they're feeling upset by how they are being related to. When a child tells their parent "hey that's not ok", or "you can't say that to me", or "that makes me feel bad about myself when you say that", it gives the parent an opportunity to restore their child's dignity by owning and repairing what has happened.
To protect our children from shame, we need to face and resolve the shame we carry. Exploring how you felt as a child greatly helps to resolve and cleanse shame from your system while shining light on how shaming negatively impacts children in general. ~ Genevieve Simperingham

How Pete King staves off Democrats by fighting 'crazies'
Here's what Rep. Pete King got out of the government shutdown: another safe election.
King, a Long Island Republican, bucked his party during the two-week impasse, loudly opposing Sen. Ted Cruz, and his own House colleagues, who demanded a delay to the president's signature health care law to keep the government open.
Story Continued Below
During the shutdown, King said his party looked "like the crazies," and he warned it would result in "lasting damage" to the Republican brand.
That seems to be true for almost every swing-district Republican except King, whose aggressive moderateness appears to have inured him from most of the political fallout, once again making an art form of the opportunistic bashing of his own party
King outperformed all his Republican colleagues in a recent poll from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling, which surveyed dozens of potential swing districts currently held by the G.O.P.
Democrats are giddy at the prospect that the shutdown could put the House in play, and P.P.P.'s findings hint at a best-case scenario filled with vulnerable Republican incumbents.
And then there's King.
His initial approval rating was at 61 percent, a full 11 points better than the next closest Republican in the survey (and 12 points better than former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan).
And King's disapproval rating was a relatively paltry 29 percent, among the lowest in the survey.
When P.P.P. led respondents through a series of questions about the shutdown and a potential debt default (neither of which King supported), most of the incumbents ended up in a dead heat, or several points down, against a generic Democrat.
King still led 53 to 38 percent.
That 15-point lead was five points higher than anyone other Republican who was polled, even as it suggested to respondents that King was on board for the shutdown and debt default.
It's a frustrating state of affairs for Democrats, who would otherwise consider the district a prime opportunity to pick up a seat.
King's Long Island district, in its current configuration, is the most evenly divided congressional district in the state: Republicans hold a registration advantage of just 2,000 voters over Democrats.
By the numbers, Democrats would consider it one of their own: Obama won it with 52 percent of the vote in 2012, and the district's Democratic Performance Index is a healthy 49.3.
But the party could barely recruit a challenger to King in 2012, running first-time candidate Vivianne Falcone, who raised just $1,254 (and one cent), and received just 41 percent of the vote.
Because he was so vocal in opposing the shutdown, Democrats don't have much of an angle for attacking King, in the same way they're going after other Republican targets.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee occasionally hits King with its obligatory press releases on other issues, but the DCCC is unlikely to spend any real money in his district, unless the party can recruit a realistic challenger. So far, no one seems to have heard any promising names.
But King's advocacy does help Democrats, at least a little bit, as a contrast they can hold up in comparison to other Republicans who were less outspoken in opposing the shutdown, including his fellow downstate Republican Rep. Michael Grimm.
Grimm, a perpetual target of the DCCC, frequently appeared on television calling for a compromise, but also voted with the party on most of the votes that led up to the shutdown.
King broke with the party on most of those votes, but he was also careful not to injure his relationship with House Speaker John Boehner, a longstanding ally.
"I think we should stand behind Boehner," King told me last week, even as he was calling for a Republican insurrection against Cruz. "[Boehner] warned this was going to happen all along."
King asserted all along that the moderate faction was larger than it looked, with some of his colleagues reluctant to anger the Tea Party for fear of a primary challenge.
King's comments certainly riled up the far-right, and Tea Party groups in his district are making a little noise about their displeasure with his position. But there isn't much of a threat at the moment.
The last time anyone primaried King was 2010, the year Tea Partiers swept races across the country, and King won with 91 percent of the vote. A Tea party challenger in 2012 failed to get enough signature to get on the primary ballot.

Notes on "Time"
Time: A succession of moments demarcating change in the physical realm of our existence*
(*1. The fact or state of existing; being.
2. The fact or state of continued being.
Synonyms: actuality, being)
Only the now exists. Ongoing existence is continually being created and held together by God. Creation was not a single act of God but is an on ongoing activity. The past is forever gone. The present is existence. The future does not yet exist, has not been yet created by our choices and God's deference to those choices. God has yet to exert his will fully, in hope that all will repent. Some of the future is determined and God knows it as a certainty, although it does not yet exist. Some of the future is open and God knows it as a contingency and it does not yet exist. Existence is the now.
Now is the succession of moments demarcating creation. Creation is continually held together by God and time is the result of the progression of change in creation/existence. Creation is the ongoing task of God. He has chosen to share some of that task.
To some extent we "create" our own existence by the choices we make. Our existence in the now of creation was partly determined by our choices we made in the past. Our future existence in creation is partly determined by choices we make in the now with the before ordained plan of God manifested in Jesus Christ.
The plan of God finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ even before the foundations of creation/existence were laid.
Our present now is relative. Reality is comprised of a multitude of relative nows. The physicality of existence reguires relativity in individual nows. My now is unique. No one else can experience my now except God.
Creation is created moment by moment. God is in the moment by moment, creating our existence. The future has yet to be created. There in rests the Hope that motivates the Lover of our Soul.
You and I view existence from a particular perspective limited by our locale. This limited perspective inhibits our comprehension of reality as a whole.
Because God is outside the physicality of our existence, does that mean He is outside of time. To say God is outside of time makes no sense. Time is inside God. God creates and holds existence together as an ongoing activity. Existence is created by God moment by moment and is demarcated by change which results in the observance of time. To say it another way, time is the observance of change in existence as God creates it moment by moment. God is the creator of time.
It exists because of God’s ongoing activity of creation.
TIME exists because change is observered. Change occurs because things move. Things move because of the “Prime Mover” God.
The Past - Is Fact
The Future - Is Potential
The present - God's ongoing action of creation enabling Existence.

Documents you have created can be viewed, managed, shared, organised and searched in your Workspace. When viewing Workspace documents files and folders, there are some basic elements used to show the status of the resource in question and to how to access it (where applicable).
Icons are used in the Type column to show at a glance what you are looking at. Folders have a distinctive yellow folder icon, notebooks are a green book with a black spine, generic documents have a page symbol, and documents based on specified forms have an identifying icon which is created and attached to the form and then used for any documents based on that form – see the example Experiment form, which has its own green page icon. When gallery documents such as images or PDFs are returned in search results, an identifying icon is used if it is a known file type, or an ‘Unknown’ icon is used.
Entries in the neighbouring Name column are preceded by a symbol indicating the document’s status from a set of available values. A new document of any type is indicated by a pale blue grey circle with a short white bar in in it (and ‘Not Shared’ when moused over), and folders and Gallery files will be marked ‘Not Shareable’ and indicated by an empty pale grey disc.
The document name itself is an active link to open the document. For Notebooks, clicking on the name link opens the list of entries for that notebook, while clicking the notebook icon in the Type list directly opens the notebook in view mode.
You can managing documents using a secondary toolbar of available actions which appears under the main workspace toolbar when one or more checkboxes is selected in the first ‘Options’ column of the workspace table. The actions available are dependent on the type of file or folder selected, upon permissions and share status and what is appropriate in a multiple selection. The main options available for documents are:
Deleting Documents
• Deleting documents does not actually delete documents from the database; it merely marks them as deleted so that they may be subsequently restored if the need arises. Links to documents that are subsequently deleted will indicate, when clicked, that the link is broken. If you are the owner of a document, deletion will remove it from the view of all users with whom the document is shared, as well as from your own folder view.
• If you delete a document that has been shared with you, it will only be deleted from your view; the original owner and any other users with whom the document is shared will still be able to see it.
• To restore a deleted document, click on the ‘My RSpace’ tab then the ‘View deleted documents’ link. You can then choose to view or restore the deleted document; note that editing a deleted document is not possible until it has been restored.
• Deleted folders do not have a ‘View’ link; restoring will restore the Folder and all its documents, notebooks and subfolders.
Copying Documents
• Copying documents produces a ‘deep’ copy of the document. A completely new, independent document is made. Comments, sketches, and image annotations are also copied.
• If a shared document is copied, the owner of the copied document is the user who performed the copy.
Renaming Documents
• Renaming a document causes the document to be renamed for all users who can view that document.
Moving Documents
• A user can move document around the folder system.
• Each user has their own folder tree and can organise documents in their own way, except for shared documents.
Sharing Documents
• RSpace Community users can share within groups (often a convenient workflow), but can also share with any individual user within RSpace using an e-mail (autocomplete or known email address) invitation message which must be accepted before sharing. They can also create a share invite to any individual outwith RSpace, producing a ‘pending’ share which will be completed when the invited party signs up to RSpace and accepts the share invitation.
• Sharing a document with any RSpace group member or any user accepting a share request will result in the shared document appearing in their ‘Shared’ folder.
See the section on ‘LabGroups and Group Sharing’ for more details on sharing with groups or with users you are in a group with.
Exporting Documents
You can export work in a variety of formats – see Export Options for more details.

Software Charging Discover
The Windows-based PC software Charging Discover not only enables a convenient test definition by parametrization of predefined test sequences but also provides an editor for the flexible creation of customer-specific tests. The test thus created is transferred to the Charging Discovery System (CDS) and runs independently. Use of the software is via application-specific user screens that provides the user with all necessary control elements and test parameters according to the selected use case (EV or EVSE test). Furthermore, the software includes all necessary functions for the visualization and evaluation of individual messages and measured values, and the automatic generation of reports.
The CDS can be used both as a standalone test system or embedded in a HiL test bench. In both cases, communication with the CDS takes place via a gigabit Ethernet interface.
In the first case, the Charging Discover PC software supports the user in test definition and control; in the second case, the HiL system can directly access the appropriate parameters and functions via the open interface.

You also may give us permission to access your information in other services. For example, you may link your Facebook or Twitter account to Shopswell, which allows us to obtain information from those accounts (like your friends or contacts). The information we get from those services often depends on your settings or their privacy policies, so be sure to check what those are.
2. We also get technical information when you use our products
• Log data. When you use Shopswell, our servers automatically record information ("Log Data"), including information that your borwser sends whenever you visit a website or your mobile app sends when you're using it. This log data may include your Internet Protocol address, the address of the web pages you visited that had Shopswell features, browser type and settings, the data and time of your request, how you used Shopswell, and cookie data.
• Cookie data.

When we use cookies, we may use “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we may use cookies to store your language preferences or other Shopswell settings so you don‘t have to set them up every time you visit Shopswell. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your Shopswell account (including personal information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other cookies are not.
3. Our partners and advertisers may share information with us
We partner with online retailers in order to make their products available. As such, we automatically receive information from systems they provide access to and we provide things like pricing information accordingly. This means, product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on retailers’ site(s), at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of a given product.
• Some websites or apps use Shopswell features like Pinterest’s “Pin it” button. If so, we may collect log information (described above) from those sites or apps.
• A partner may provide data from their website to help us understand who’s bought something on their site after visiting us.

We may use that data to optimize effectiveness of showing relevant products to you, matching your interests. We may also use that data to customize your experience with us.
• We may allow an advertiser, or company working for an advertiser, to place a pixel or similar technology.
4. We may use pixel tracking and collection information with ads you see
We may use pixel tracking and collect information, including but not limited to URL’s, through advertisements of ours that you see or click online. This information may be used for targeting or re-marketing with relevant future content or ads on the Internet served by Google, Facebook or other platforms. Why? We want to intelligently show you things that interest you, instead of simply posting generic ads (those aren’t useful in helping you, but targeted content can be—and that’s our goal, to help you find the things you care about and need). We want to help you save time and money on products that are important to you, so we may use pixel tracking and collect information in order to help us to do that.
5. When you visit our website, third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve interest-based ads
Google uses cookies to recognize your visit to our website, and those cookies are used to serve relevant interest-based ads to you on the Internet, containing content that is contextually relevant to your site visit. If you don’t want to see relevant ads, you can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings page. Cookies are only one type of technology which serves interest-based ads, but if you want to opt out of third party vendors’ use of cookies, you can do so at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
How do we use the information we collect?
We use the information we collect to provide our products to you and make them better, develop new products, and protect Shopswell and our users. For example, we may log how often people use two different versions of a product, which can help us understand which version is better.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72664 | What It Takes To Complete An Impressive Persuasive Essay On Euthanasia?
As our medicine advances, doctors are gaining more abilities in terms of medical practices. It is now possible to keep someone alive almost indefinitely, without a functioning brain or most internal organs. While it is possible, doing this can be very expensive and as a result, many families and doctors have been faced with a very difficult question.
When writing an essay on topics of social impact, it is wise to always be aware of the possibility of there being many different sides to the story. This means that your paper will require some research, for information that is often quite elusive. In the following short points, I will provide you with a working model to help you construct a well written essay about euthanasia:
1. The cost of artificial life support
2. Purchasing and maintaining medical equipment is expensive, and this is without the cost of running them, which can also be quite expensive, requiring large amounts of energy and a trained staff. If a family is willing to pay these costs, does it change the need to make the decision?
3. The probability of saving a life
4. In many cases, the patient can recover and go on to lead a fulfilling life. What are the factors that determine these probabilities and are we skilled enough to be able to make these decisions based on what we know or may not know? How do we determine this decision when we have no way of knowing if we were wrong in cases where the decision to pull the plug was made?
5. The effects on the family and loved ones
6. While some people may wish to reserve the life of a loved one for as long as possible, it can be suggested that, in cases where waiting proves futile, it may have been better to cut the cord early. On the other hand, an administrative decision to end a loved one’s life can lead to feelings of hate and blame against persons tasked with making these unpleasant decisions.
7. The moral implications of purposefully ending a life
8. How do we decide that we are qualified to make these decisions, as a society? Could it be that we have the power because we made the equipment, or do these new inventions simply fall under the jurisdictions of our moral evolution?
9. What would be better for society
10. What impact would either decision have on society as a whole? Can we determine a course of action that would be best for all?

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72712 | Approximately two years ago, we published an article comparing the performance of SpreadsheetWeb (5.3) with Google Sheets and Microsoft Office 365 Excel APIs. Since then we have significantly improved the performance of SpreadsheetWeb’s calculation engine and its API. We decided to repeat the same tests and compare the result.
We will skip the details of the testing methodology and experimental setup since they are identical to those from two years ago. We will jump right into the results. Following chart compares average response times from SpreadsheetWeb 6.11, Google Sheets, and Office 365 APIs for 1, 5, and 25 concurrent user scenarios.
Average Response Times SpreadsheetWeb 6.11 vs Google Sheets vs Office 365 APIs
Performance of SpreadsheetWeb API is significantly faster than both Google Sheets and Office 365 APIs as expected. Note that, because response times of SpreadsheetWeb are under 1 sec for all concurrency scenarios, results don’t appear visually in this linear chart. Performance figures of Google Sheets are also about 40% faster from 2 years ago. Similarly, Office 365 API is also about 40-60% faster than previous test results.
We also compared the accuracy of results (chart below). Results from SpreadsheetWeb were 100% correct on all concurrent user scenarios similar to the previous tests except for 25 concurrent users. Results from SpreadsheetWeb 5.3 were 99.6% accurate in this case due to server overload. SpreadsheetWeb 6.11 is now 100% accurate.
Accuracy of Results SpreadsheetWeb 6.11 vs Google Sheets vs Office 365 APIs
As for Google Sheets and Office 365, accuracy of results diminish significantly after 1 user scenario. This is mainly due to the reasons explained in the previous article that neither APIs were designed to handle these type of usage. Both of those APIs require two consecutive calls to set the inputs and get the outputs of the calculations. When there are too many calls to the API, it cannot complete the calculation for a given input set before its output is requested. Hence, the only way to improve the accuracy is either to lock the workbook or introduce an delay of a few seconds between each write and read calls. However, this would further slow down the response times for both APIs.
The reason SpreadsheetWeb is so accurate compared to both Google Sheets and Office 365 is that it takes only one API call to complete a single calculation (write and read). It is designed to handle necessary locking mechanism in the internal engine. As a result, it can handle large concurrent user scenarios with 100% accuracy.
The chart below compares the performance of SpreadsheetWeb 6.11 with 5.3. SpreadsheetWeb 6.11 calculation engine and API is significantly faster than 5.3. Average response times for all concurrent user scenarios were under 1 sec. This improvement can be attributed to significant optimizations in SpreadsheetWeb’s calculation engine as well as a complete overhaul of its API.

“I can't say your brain is all pinks or blues. In fact, I wanted to call my book Fifty Shades of Gray Matter”
Gina Rippon
Men can listen and women can read maps...
In her groundbreaking book, The Gendered Brain, Professor Gina Rippon dismantles the idea that there are distinct differences in male and female brains. Unpacking the dubious historical science, like 18th century experiments that saw empty skulls measured with bird seed, Rippon shows how early research fueled the persistent myth that female biology is inferior. She presents cutting edge neuroscience to detail how our brains are highly plastic, individualised, adaptable and full of potential. What if our behaviour is linked not to gender, but to life itself, to all we do and experience?

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72765 | Many people don't know this, but when I first began my iron game I was actually somewhat of a high intensity training enthusiast. The HIT or high intensity training methodology was popularized by the legendary Arthur Jones who many still consider to be one of the most brilliant innovators in the field of exercise science.
Besides his original developments of the first Nautilus variable resistance machines in the 60's and 70's, Jones was also an ardent advocate of something he referred to as high-intensity strength training.
This involved a significant reduction in the training volume and training frequency that many of the bodybuilders were using at the time while also taking all of those sets to failure and beyond. Jones also had many devout followers over the years including the legendary yet controversial Mike Mentzer.
To this day Mentzer is known as having one of the most complete and fully developed physiques ever to grace the bodybuilding stages, with levels of muscularity and density that rival many of our overly-juiced modern day competitors.
Mentzer attributed much of his success to his unusual training methodology that took Arthur Jones's theories multiple steps further by reducing training volume and frequency to inordinately low levels. For instance, Mentzer was known for having many of his advanced bodybuilders train only once every 4-7 days with only 1 max effort set to failure on a handful of exercises.
Additionally, Mentzer was known for asserting his beliefs that the traditional volume approach that many bodybuilders were (and still are) using, contributed to more failed physiques and training stagnation than any training methodology in existence.
Mentzer Flex
I eventually came to agree with Mentzer on the topic that most everything commonly advocated in the traditional mainstream bodybuilding and fitness world was filled with lies and misinformation. Although his solution to this problem with the HIT methodology wasn't something I entirely agreed with, it did show me that I needed to investigate deeper and perform my own research.
In fact, this is what ultimately led me to develop my eccentric isometric protocols and research them during my doctoral studies. I realized that many of the training methods we use even to this day (including those recommended by expert trainers and coaches) are highly flawed.
While many were quick to write Mentzer off as a lunatic and iron game heretic, reading his books and examining his training methods will forever change your mindset about strength training. They certainly did for me.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72770 | Today I’m going to show you a little tip for those of you that want to shred with some tapping licks in the style of guys like Billy Sheehan.
Moving Beyond Eruption
To anyone new to tapping especially in a rock style, the first kind of licks you learn are usually arpeggio based (think Eruption by Van Halen!)
Now they’re great and sound cool but if you want to take your tapping a little further and play some longer lines in that Billy Sheehan style, it’s good to try outlining some scales. These are a lot tougher on the hands but also great for running around the neck and you’ll hear them a lot in the unison bass and guitar lines that Billy played with Paul Gilbert in Mr Big.
The Basic Tapping Pattern
So for today’s exercise we’re just going to learn to outline a simple major scale and run it on one string. First let’s look at the basic tapping pattern we’re going to use:
Scales On One String
The next step is to familiarize yourself with the scale you’re going to use on a single string. For this exercise we’ll be using the C Major scale. Let’s look at that on a single G string:
Our line will be outling the scale in three note groupings so next we can play those groups on a single string:
Tapping Through The Scale
Once you have the scale under your fingers you can try running the tap pattern through those notes:
This is obviously just the start. You can try scales starting on different root notes (D major, E major etc.) and different types of scale (Dorian, Harmonic Minor etc.)
Once you can play on one string you can also try moving across strings, but I’ll leave that for a later lesson!

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72791 | NCLEX-RN Test Online Course
The National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) is offered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and requires test takers to display competencies needed to perform both safely and effectively as an entry-level nurse.
In order to be approved to take the NCLEX-RN, test takers will first need to be approved by their individual board of nursing. Once all eligibility requirements are confirmed, clearance to take the NCLEX-RN will be given and candidates will receive an Authorization to Test (ATT) letter. This letter must be taken to the exam center on the day of the exam.
The test is taken at Pearson VUE testing centers across the country and test takers must pick a time and location to take the exam at the Pearson VUE website. The registration fee to take the exam is $200. Other licensure fees required by the test taker’s board of nursing must be paid as well. There are no refunds of registration fees for any reason.
There is a large range in the number of questions that can be asked; as few as 75 questions or as many as 265 can be asked. Regardless of how many total questions are asked, 15 are considered pretest questions that are not scored. The NCLEX-RN exam must be completed in six hours.
This length of time includes the tutorial, all sample items, and all breaks that are taken during the examination (though taking breaks is optional). There are also two pre-programmed optional breaks in addition to any unscheduled breaks that are taken by the test taker.
There are four major “Client Needs Categories” that are a part of the NCLEX-RN exam: Safe and Effective Care Environment, Health Promotion and Maintenance, Psychosocial Integrity, and Physiological Integrity. The Health Promotion and Maintenance and Psychosocial Integrity categories are the shortest, comprising only six to 12 percent of the total exam.
The Physiological Integrity category is the longest, comprising anywhere from 38 to 62 percent of the total exam. While many questions are in a multiple choice format, there are a variety of alternative question formats that can be used during any part of the exam, including fill in the blank, ordered response, and others. Questions may be asked that include multimedia of some kind as well.
Overview of the NCLEX-RN
Overview of the NCLEX RN (2019)
The NCLEX-RN exam is in the Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) format. The reason for this is that the format allows the computer to determine the ability of the candidate as it relates to whether he or she meets the passing standard. In other words, with every answer provided by the test taker, the computer reevaluates his or her abilities. Based on a test taker’s answers, up to any given point in the exam, the next question provided is selected with the belief that the test taker should have a 50 percent chance of answering it correctly.
The more questions that are answered correctly, the more likely a test taker is to receive more difficult questions for the rest of the exam. It also means that those who answer the most questions correctly will be given the fewest number of overall questions. It is highly recommended that test takers avoid rapidly guessing items. This will only mean test takers will then be given even easier questions which they are highly likely to then also get wrong, further decreasing the chances of passing the exam.
Test takers will either pass or fail the NCLEX-RN exam, however the criteria used to determine whether a test taker passed is not completely straightforward, as the NCSBN website outlines three different testing scenarios that determine passing or failing.
The most common scenario is that, once the minimum number of questions have been answered and the computer is 95 percent certain that the test taker displays an ability that is above the passing standard, no more questions will be administered and the test taker will pass. There are additional scenarios under which the test taker will pass the exam that relate to the maximum number of questions asked during the exam, and also a scenario in which the test taker runs out of time.
The NCLEX-RN exam is scored twice: once at the test center by the computer, and again when it is verified by Pearson VUE. Test takers will not be given the results of their exam at the testing center. Results are available only through the boards of nursing and will be mailed to test takers approximately one month after they complete the exam. Unofficial results can be obtained through the NCLEX website approximately 48 hours after completing the exam, though there is a fee associated with this service.
When a test taker does not pass the exam, the board of nursing sends them a Candidate Performance Report. This provides a summary of their strengths and weaknesses and is intended to help guide him or her with how to best prepare for retaking the exam. Those who need to retake the exam must wait approximately 45 to 90 days to take it again (the specific time frame is determined by each board of nursing). |

By January 14, 2015 September 6th, 2019 Oil and Gas
In hydraulic fracturing – a method used in drilling for natural gas -fluids are shot underground in an attempt to break up rock and free the natural gas for harvesting. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracing, has long been a source of concern for regulators, worried that the method may contaminate the ground water near the drilling site. To investigate these concerns, the Environmental Protection Agency ordered a study to examine the effects of hydraulic fracturing on sources of drinking water.
Concerns over hydraulic fracturing are heightened by the fact that drilling companies have been reluctant to reveal the nature of the chemicals used in the process. While the EPA’s investigation did not reveal any drinking water contamination in Texas, recent testing of private wells in Louisiana, uncovered at least 10 contaminated wells linked to the Barnett Shale exploration, according to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Energy.
What the EPA study did show, however, was that residents near hydraulic fracturing operations may be exposed to airborne toxic particles. Environmental regulators in Texas have confirmed that the air near some wells contains elevated levels of benzene, an industrial solvent that has been shown to cause cancer in both animals and humans.
Gas producing companies are rightfully nervous about these developments. Aside from the groundwater contamination issue, if evidence shows that hydraulic fracturing is causing the release of toxic gases, legal problems may be on the horizon. Any persons near the drilling site who were affected by the gases would have a potential legal claim, and, if enough people suffered health problems, a class action may loom. Additionally, the gas companies make use of hydraulic fracturing because it is effective and profitable. If the procedure is regulated or banned by the federal government, the companies will have to find a new method of drilling.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/72812 | Is Dabbing Addictive? Signs of Marijuana Dab Addiction and Abuse
While legal marijuana, both medical and recreational, is slowly but surely getting legalized across the country, it has led to new innovations in preparing product, and has created new methods of ingesting the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, THC.
One of these innovations has led to a change in the way some marijuana users get the THC into their system: they now smoke pure THC.
This has been achieved through the innovation of dab weed.
While dabbing has been around for decades, it has only recently taken prominence in weed culture as a viable option for most partakers. Dab used to be a “treat” so to speak, for weed users, as individuals could not obtain dab commercially until recently.
So, with all the hype around dabbing today, what exactly is it? Are there any risks involved with it?
What Is Dab?
Dabbing is the act of smoking or ingesting dab weed, or dab.
But what exactly is dab?
Dab, in the simplest explanation possible, is THC concentrated into an oil. This is accomplished by using butane to separate THC particles from the rest of the marijuana plant.
After a few steps, the butane is removed, leaving behind a semi-solid, sticky residue behind: this is what we call dab.
While the process is generally similar for those who make dab, differences in the quality of the marijuana, as well as the quality of the butane used, will result in different consistencies of dab (stretchy, brittle, soft, hard, and more).
With all other particles separated, the leftover dab is essentially pure THC, often reaching levels over 80%.
By contrast, the average THC content of regular marijuana was around 10% as of 2013.
Dab is also known as wax, shatter, or glass, among a long list of other names.
How Is Dab Consumed?
Dabbing has distinct advantages over normal marijuana for users, other than its obvious increased potency. Dab is odorless, and the smoke elicited, no matter the method used to smoke, is very thin and dissipates quickly.
This makes discretion very easy for a user of dab, but also makes detection very difficult for those who suspect abuse.
Dab can be consumed a number of different ways: oil pipes, bongs, and vaporizers are the most popular ways to smoke dab.
Vaporizers are becoming increasingly popular due to their portability and the ability to effectively allow public smoking of marijuana, as the vapor does not smell or look much different than regular vape flavors and cartridges.
However, with dab, there is also the option of pure ingestion. Dab can be added to drinks and foods and still produce the same effects as smoking. While likely poor-tasting, users could even resort to simply eating the dab if no other options were available.
Marijuana Usage: Safe Or Addictive?
With marijuana legalization being a hot topic in the last few years, it has a lot of people hearing a lot of information about marijuana. Some are true, and some are false.
So, this raises the overarching question: is marijuana addictive?
The answer is complicated, and that is why you often hear conflicting viewpoints about it.
Depending on the quality of the marijuana and various individualized factors, repeated marijuana usage can have wide-ranging impacts on the body and mind. Repeated usage of marijuana can cause problems that are both physical and mental, including memory problems, emphysema, COPD, and heart issues.
But while the effects of marijuana are slowly understood better, the questions still linger as to whether marijuana is addictive, and by extension, whether dabbing is addictive.
Use Versus Misuse
The simplest answer that can be given is that while marijuana is not chemically addictive in the way that opioids or other drugs are addictive, it can be habitually addictive.
It is now generally understood that marijuana can be analogous to alcohol: some can come home and partake in some marijuana the same as they would come home and have a drink at the end of the day. People are absolutely capable of using marijuana in moderation, the same as people are capable of moderation with alcohol.
But, also like alcohol, there are those individuals who cannot have “just one drink”, or just a little marijuana.
There are those who drink to excess when they drink, just as there are those who smoke to excess when they smoke. It is these people who cannot use marijuana in moderation, who cannot “put it down” so to speak, who are most prone to marijuana addiction.
This is to say that people can use marijuana repeatedly to the point where they “need” to use it at certain times of day, such as when they wake up or before they can eat.
There are signs of marijuana abuse, and they are not dissimilar to dabbing abuse. Some of these signs include:
• memory troubles
• increased tolerance to marijuana
• inability or unwillingness to cease using marijuana
• using marijuana with great frequency
• critical thinking deficits
• loss of coordination
• anxiety
• insomnia
These signs are just a few of the many signs of marijuana abuse. Statistics suggest that the 18-25 age range is most susceptible to marijuana addiction. Additionally, men are more likely than women to become addicted to marijuana.
Dabbing Abuse
So where does this leave us with dabbing? Well, in a similar position to that of marijuana, only dabbing carries some enhanced risks due to its potent makeup.
Dabbing is understood to have all the same dangers and signs of abuse that normal marijuana usage has, only increased due to the increased THC content that dabbing has.
Studies have shown that users of dab report higher tolerance and dependence from dabbing, and suggests that dabbing may carry an increased risk of addiction and/or dependence.
It is thought that the high THC content of dab is the cause of this increased risk.
The long term effects that dabbing can have on an individual are startling to say the least, among them including:
• depression
• cardiac issues
• hallucinations
• decreased cognitive abilities
• paranoia
While links to cancer are questionable, dabbing has been shown to have more carcinogens than normal marijuana does.

Volume 2
83 You're Not to Blame
Did Ta Lai have someone he loved deeply too…?
“I'm curious about your symbols. Will soul splitters suffer from punishment upon the sealing of it as well?” Nie Zun asked.
“We do, just as you would. This is something that was set in stone from the very start. A split symbol is a form of contract—this was the price to pay for capturing your souls. This contract had likewise given us abilities. It's only a matter of perspective if you see the ability as a gift or the punishment as a curse.”
“Why did you people capture us?” I asked furiously.
“There are some things that are beyond our control. Despite bringing you here, we still can't recognize the soul we captured among the sea of people.” Ta Lai replied.
“Resignation happens to any living person; soul splitters are no different.” He laughed self-deprecatingly. “Soul splitters aren't divine beings, just resigned humans.”
I followed with a cold reply, “How great you are at concocting excuses. There are many things in the world that are aggravating, but to harm and ruin another’s life is a sin no matter how you try to explain it.”
Ta Lai reciprocated with a calm smile. “Alright, alright. I'm not here to discuss the right or wrong, the sin or redemption. I'm here to teach you a lesson on combat, so let's stop here with the discussion about life. For now, let's teach you proper combat.”
My eyes stared fixated on him. “I won't be grateful.”
He met my gaze, “I know. Let's just treat this as a trade-off. This way, no one will be stuck in a difficult position. You'll only have to remember what you promised.”
“Aren't you afraid I would regret it?”
His smile widened. “You won't and even if you did, I'd have a way of making sure you can’t.”
The words put me at great unease but I didn't have any other option either. I am keenly aware of my own abilities; forget Du Yue, I am a far cry from even Jiao S.
“Fine, come on then. I'll grant you an opportunity to be a teacher.” I waved my hand, donning a facade of resolution as though I'm ready to risk everything.
“Even though you've both leveraged on your sense of touch to combat earlier, the method of usage could still be improved on. I hope you'll be able to create the perfect combat tactic by combining both your techniques. I have to take a trip into Western District today; the obscured reason behind its decapitated state baffled me too. I hope you'll be prepared by the time I get back; I'll distort your senses once more and release my children again.”
Laughing gleefully, he continued, “The children I'm unleashing will no longer be a child's play, which is why I'm giving you time to think through your strategy.
“Oh, and you can use this time to talk things out as well; I'm sure there are a lot of things on your mind after our earlier conversation.”
Once he was done, he rotated the jade ring in his finger in the direction of the ceiling. It opened with a swoosh from that small gesture.
I looked up to witness infinite darkness
The tip of his feet lightly touched the ground and he dived into the darkness. With his departure, the ceiling began to close up once more.
Nie Zun and I were the only ones left in the enclosed stone room.
I tilted my head towards him; with both hands stuck into his pocket, he headed straight for the corner of the room, returning to his favorite posture––leaning against the wall with a slight slouch.
The torch near him flickered quietly, lighting up just half of his face.
I opened my mouth to ask the innumerable questions echoing in my head, but couldn’t find the words to start. Through the torch, I watched him in silence.
Slowly, his indifferent gaze met mine without a word. In depths of his eyes, the flame danced and rippled. Just like this, the two of watched each other in stillness.
Eventually, I was the one to break the silence, “You… Can you tell me the cause of your arrival into the split zone?”
A slight smile graced his features; so faint that one would miss it without careful observation. “I thought you’d ask about this hand of mine first.” At that, he raised his left hand.
I pursed my lips into a tight smile but didn’t reply.
Unhurriedly, Nie Zun pulled out his right hand and tugged at the glove on his left. His slender, pale hand stretched towards me. As though attracted by an enchantment, his hand lured me a step closer, and then another.
I met his eyes for a split second when I arrived before him, before dropping it towards his outstretched hand. The palm of his hand which had been facing the ground turned upwards lightly.
There was no palm prints on them.
Through the days and nights I had spent with him, even though I rarely saw him without his gloves but it wasn’t the first time witnessing it either. Still, I’ve never taken particular note about them until today. When he flipped his hand over, revealing his palm without reservations, I could clearly see his loneliness.
With the amount of supernatural books I’ve read, I didn’t need any explanation from him. I knew… that anyone without palms prints was said to have a cursed life. Likewise, without need his illustration of his back-story, I could already imagine the difficulties and agony he had been through in his previous life.
It wasn’t the ‘cursed life’ that had made him suffered, but the rumors. Spirits and ghosts were never the scariest entities in this world; beyond those, there were humans who were immensely more vicious.
For him to be the owner of this cursed palm, I’m sure he must have suffered great discrimination growing up, especially if unfortunate events had coincidentally occurred in his family.
The animated discussion from an innumerable crowd of people sounded in my mind once more.
“She’s a freak!”
“Stay away from her!”
My heart felt like it was drowning from a sudden surge of tide, and my eyes welled up. Before I could even stop myself, I reached out my own hand, laying it above his palm.
I watched the flicker in Nie Zun’s eyes for a moment. In that second, he looked like a helpless, frightened, child. With my palm against his own, my hand atop of Nie Zun’s, the chill of his hand pulsed into mine.
His body had always been this cold.
A prickling sensation of pain began to extend through our contact; though he hadn’t fused his MF into his palm, after those days of soaking them in chemicals, they were no longer soft to touch.
I didn’t mind, though. Just like that, I met his eyes with my palm on his. Still, there was a nagging feeling that I’ve missed something.
What was it…?
That’s right, the ring!
I lowered my head in haste, removing my hand and flipping his hand over once more. My eyes dropped towards the skull ring on his pinky finger.
I’ve seen it before, but hadn’t felt the same peculiar sensation I did today.
As I stared at the lacquered black, exquisitely carved skull ring, I couldn’t help muttering under my breath, “This ring… Why does it look so familiar? Why… can’t I remember?”
I felt a sudden squeeze on my left shoulder; clasping his glove on his right hand, Nie Zun held it against my shoulder.
Lifting my head, I met his gaze again in unintentional intimate distance. My mind was once again captured by the waves behind his eyes.
A glint of glee flickered across his eyes, the corners of his lips arched upwards. “Tsk, tsk. You can’t cast your greedy eyes upon other people’s gem.”
Hearing his teasing tone, I grew furious from embarrassment and took a step back immediately, letting go of his hand in the process. “Who would even care about it.”
Despite those words, only I knew that my action came from the desire to distance myself from him; perhaps it was the powers behind his eyes, but I found myself being pulled into his gaze every time our eyes meet, and I’m unable to turn away.
… Ah, it’s probably because of the powers in his eyes!
As expected, he was just like a demon; his entire being was the epitome of mystifying danger!
Nie Zun was laughing to his heart’s content. “Aren’t you going to ask about my printless palm?”
I swept a glance at him. “So what if you have no palm prints? According to speculations, didn’t that just mean you have a cursed life? Did you really expect me to believe in those?”
The smile was still hanging on his lips, but a glint of misery flickered momentarily in the depths of his eyes. “I didn’t believe it before either, but… what if I said I have begun to? I really do feel like I have a cursed life; I’ve always brought misfortune upon the people around me…”
Nie Zun looked over at me with a self-deprecating smile. “Who knows, maybe you were cursed by me too. Haven’t you always condemned the fusion between your second personality and I? Who knows, maybe it was this cursed palm at work.”
He lifted said hand and gave it a short wave.
I stared straight back at him. “I’ll admit, Nie Zun, that I am still brooding over the fact that my second personality had resonated with you. I knew none of this was your fault but I was still stubborn in growing my hatred towards you. That has nothing to do with you, you haven’t done anything wrong. The reason behind all that was only because I didn’t think I could persevere if I didn’t at least hate you a little.
“Perhaps I wouldn’t be able to stop this hatred despite all the days we had spent together, with you protecting me by my side. Even so, I knew very clearly that you’re not at fault. Whatever cursed life you think you have, I’ll neither sympathize with you nor blame you for it. I’m here because of the karma I’ve incurred from killing another; you don’t have to carry this sin for me.”
His eyes softened drastically; maybe it was the flicker of lit torches that was playing tricks on my eyes. “If this cursed life of mine has the right of carrying your sin on your behalf, I’ll be more than willing.”
I raised a brow. “When did you get so kind?”
Nie Zun laughed and his pale left hand touched his nose. “It’s a cursed life anyway; there isn’t much use for it. Since it’s cursed, I’m sure it could at least deflect against minor mishaps.”
I fixed my gaze right into his. “It’s not a cursed life. You might have face unfortunate events in your life—perhaps those were the work of fate or mere coincidences—but they were definitely not your fault.”
“I can’t even be sure that they were not my fault, how can you be this decisive about it?” His voice reverberated clearly in this stone room.
I tilted my head with a slight smile. “Because I’m Li Shen.”
The flame hanging along the stone wall quivered abruptly, as did the glow reflected against Nie Zun's face.

This kitchen staple is on a roll!
Illustration by Katja Cho
1. Unstick pages
If you've accidentally spilled water on a book, separate the damaged pages with pieces of wax paper, then close the book. As it dries, the wax paper wicks away moisture and prevents wrinkles.
Illustration by Katja Cho
2. Revive your can opener
Fold a small sheet of wax paper in hand, then place it between the blades of a can opener and crank the handle a few times. The wax lubricates the blades so they'll glide along the edge of a can.
3. Polish metal
Keep kitchen and bathroom fixtures shiny by rubbing them with wax paper. The wax will repel water and oil so you're not left with spots or fingerprints.
4. Stop a leaky faucet
Put an end to a drippy sink with this quick fix: Unscrew the aerator, wrap a thin strip of wax paper around the exposed threading, then replace the aerator. This will help fill the gaps on the thread and stop water from leaking through the connection.

5. Preserve paint
Float a wax paper circle directly on opened paint before you replace the lid. This prevents a thick layer of paint from forming on top, which can cause chunks (and an uneven finish) when mixed back in.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73023 | Osprey Facts: Animals of North America
These numerous birds of prey can build nests that are so large, they can even accommodate a human being.
Physical Description
Ospreys, or Pandion haliaetus, are fish-eating birds of prey with a large size and spectacular appearance. The size of this bird usually ranges between 21 and 23 inches (54 and 58 centimeters) with a weight of about 2.3 to 3 pounds (1.2-1.4 kilograms), with their wingspans extending out to about 5 or 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 meters). The dorsal parts of this avian species, including the back and upper wing coverts, are of a deep, chocolate brown in color, while their ventral regions are primarily white. Their breasts are white with some brown speckling. The Ospreys' crowns and foreheads are mostly white, with a dark line running around the eyes and extending to the sides of the neck. The color of the birds' irises are yellow, with a pale blue, transparent, nictitating membrane . Even though the sexes in Ospreys are quite similar in appearance, a few visible differences can be used to distinguish them. Adult males usually have a slimmer body and narrower wings than do females, with females usually attaining body masses 15-20% higher than do their male counterparts upon reaching physical maturity. The brown streaks on the breasts are usually darker and denser in females than in males. Juveniles of this species are similar to adults, except for the orange-red color of their irises in their first years, and a scaly appearance of the back and wing coverts, an appearance that is due to the light buff-colored edges of their first feathers, which are lost by the time they see their first winter.
Either marine or freshwater fishes may comprise the lion's shares of the diets of Ospreys. Since these birds are unable to dive further than 0.5-1.0 meters deep into the water, their food sources are primarily restricted to those fishes that are to be found in shallow waters or surface schooling fish. The average size of their prey ranges between 8 and 14 inches (20 and 36 centimeters). The penetrating vision of the Ospreys can detect underwater movements from a height of 10 to 40 meters (33–131 feet) above the water's surface. After marking their targets, the birds hover over the water for a few moments before plunging into the water, feet first, to grab hold of their prey. This avian species is well designed by nature to meet its predatory foraging habits. With sharp spicules underneath its toes, talons with backwards-facing scales, and nostrils that can be closed when diving into water, the efficient predator is well equipped to succeed easily in its efforts to catch fish.
Habitat and Range
Ospreys usually frequent areas with shallow fishing grounds, or deeper waters where fish school near to the surface. Areas with expanses of shallow, fish-filled waters, such as lakes, marshes, lagoons, and rivers, serve as ideal habitats for these birds to thrive. After peregrine falcons, Ospreys are the second most common bird of prey, or raptor, in the world. Except for Antarctica, they are to be found in the tropical, sub-tropical regions, and temperate of all other continents. In summer, Ospreys are found found in North America from Alaska to Newfoundland and further south towards Florida and the Gulf Coast. During this season, they also breed in all parts of Europe. The Ospreys migrate along the coasts towards South America, South and South-East Asia, and Northern Africa during the winter season. In Australia, these birds primarily have a sedentary presence lacking major migrations. Golden eagles, bald eagles, great horned owls are the most common natural predators of these birds. During the period lasting from the 1950s until the 1970s, Osprey populations plummeted significantly, due to the rampant use of pesticides which poisoned these birds and thinned their egg shells. However, strict implementation of bans on harmful pesticides, such as the 1972 DDT ban, helped in bringing Osprey populations back up to safer levels. Conservation status results, provided by the American Breeding Bird Survey, exhibited an encouraging increase in Osprey populations, demonstrating a rate of 2.5% growth per year between 1966 and 2010.
Ospreys are usually solitary in nature, and typically roost alone or in small groups of six to ten. They are known to defend their immediate nesting sites, usually from other Ospreys, though they are not strictly territorial, setting them apart from most other fish-eating birds. Aerial chases to defend nests are quite common among these birds, and can even become quite intense in certain cases. They prefer roosting in open areas, such as the bare branches of trees, and may also roost upon the ground for warmth on cold days. Hatchlings are known to aggressively compete over food sources, often resulting in the elimination of their weaker, later-hatched members.
Ospreys are found to mate for life, though rare cases of polyandry have been reported. During the breeding season, a pair of male and female mates will enter into a 5-month-long period of partnership in order to raise their offspring. Nests are cautiously built by the mating partners using sticks, with a compact lining of algae, sod, vines and other such materials inside them. The male is primarily involved in the gathering of all of these materials, while the female arranges them to build the nest. Nests built in the pair’s first season are usually small but, as consecutive years pass by, the nests can become large, some sizable enough to even accommodate a human. Within a month after mating, between 2 and 4 whitish eggs, with distinctive patches of reddish-brown colors, are laid by the female. The average time between the hatching of the eggs and their physical development into fledgelings usually lasts around 10 weeks.

Where Is The World's Quietest Place Located?
Located in the US state of Washington, a room in Microsoft's headquarters is the world's quietest place.
A room in Building 87 of Microsoft's headquarters, which is located in Redmond, Washington, USA, is the quietest place on Earth. The room, which is an anechoic chamber, was built by Microsoft engineers to test newly developed equipment. In fact, the chamber is so quiet that physiological sounds can be heard, which is highly unusual. For example, individuals in the chamber reported hearing their joints grinding, hearts beating, and blood gushing through their veins. Background noise is estimated at -20.6 decibels, setting the official record as the world’s quietest place. To put that noise level into context, scientists estimate that a human whisper is about 30 decibels, the sound of human breathing is about 10 decibels, while the limit of human hearing is 0 decibels. The noise produced by air molecules colliding with each other at room temperature is about -24 decibels. The chamber achieves the limit of what is possible to achieve without creating a vacuum.
Anechoic Chamber Design
The anechoic chamber is cube-shaped and each side measures 21 ft. The design and construction of the chamber took nearly two years and identifying a suitable building involved almost eight months of testing. The chamber is located at the center of six concrete onion layers, and each layer measures 12 inches in thickness, which helps to cut about 110 decibels from reaching the chamber. The chamber also floats on 68 vibration damping springs which are fitted on a separate foundation slab that eliminates any contact with the surrounding building. Clusters of sound absorbent wedges, which are 4 ft long, line all six surfaces of the room to prevent echoes from bouncing off the walls when sound is produced inside the room. The floor consists of steel cables that are knitted together to form a net above the sound absorbent wedges at the bottom. Doors leading to the chamber, and those of the surrounding room, are lined with seals to prevent sound from leaking in.
Commercial Applications
Experts use the room for listening to electronic equipment and checking for vibrations made by capacitors when current passes through them. Results from such tests are used to identify sources of noise or hum, which can be unpleasant to customers. The chamber also helps in the detection and analysis of sounds produced by other electronic components, such as displays, cooling fans, speakers, and keyboards.
Public Tours
The anechoic chamber in Microsoft's Building 87 is not accessible to the public. However, those interested in experiencing a similar state of quietness can visit the world's second quietest place, which is located in the Orfield Laboratories in the US state of Minnesota. Visits to the anechoic chamber in the Orfield Laboratories can be booked online through the company's website, although it warns that most visitors cannot remain in the chamber for an extended period of time without supervision. The chamber has a background noise level that measures -9.4 decibels, which is less than the -20.6 decibel record set by Microsoft. The longest amount of time anyone has spent in the chamber at Orfield Laboratories is 45 minutes.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73072 | Choosing the correct costing system for your business can prevent headaches down the road when you expand, but it also helps you make data-driven decisions about the performance of your business right now. Absorption costing systems, some of the most widely used systems in business, assign all manufacturing costs to products. These systems are used by many businesses, but they're not perfect.
GAAP Compliant
One of the main advantages of using absorption costing in a small business is that it complies with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Conversion from a non-GAAP costing system to a GAAP costing system can be expensive and time consuming, but if your business begins operations using a GAAP-compliant system, little additional work is involved once the system is set up. This is most important for small businesses that want to expand in the future or plan to seek external financing. Many banks or other lenders expect to be able to assess creditworthiness using financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. If your costing system does not comply with GAAP, you may be forced to reconcile the figures at a point in the business when you do not have the resources or time to do so.
Ease of Setup
Absorption costing systems tend to be less complicated to initially set up than other costing systems. For example, many small businesses use a type of absorption system known as job-order costing, which requires traceable material and labor to be traced directly to the products that are being produced and overhead to be allocated to products based upon a rate. Once the overhead rate estimates are calculated, the process of allocation becomes trivial using job-order costing. However, activity-based costing, a non-absorption costing alternative, requires the identification of every activity that goes into producing a product and a determination of how these activities affect the overhead incurred. This can be a difficult and time-consuming process.
Fixed Overhead in Inventory
The biggest drawback of absorption costing systems is the way they handle fixed overhead costs. In an absorption costing system, all costs of manufacturing are assigned to products. When companies do not sell all of the products they produce in a period, these costs get hung up on the balance sheet. This causes income to be artificially inflated during periods when the number of units produced exceed the number sold. In addition, income is artificially deflated when the number of units produced is less than the number of units sold. This can be a huge problem for small businesses, because sales are often more variable in small businesses, and many small-business owners are unaware of this phenomenon. Managers unfamiliar with this problem could incorrectly attribute increases and decreases in income to company performance, which could reduce the quality of managerial decisions.
Assignment of Nonmanufacturing Costs
Absorption costing systems do a poor job of accounting for costs that are considered nonmanufacturing costs but really are unavoidable for manufacturers. For example, your small business may produce two different products. One product is a mass-produced product with little customization, and the other product is customized to customer specifications. Under absorption costing systems, the cost of the personnel who process customer orders for custom goods could not be included as part of the cost of manufacturing the custom product. This often leads to the undercosting of custom goods and the overcosting of mass-produced goods under absorption systems.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73077 | When you take out a long term loan there usually is a contract that states how much money in monthly payments you will have to pay. Depending on the credit amount and those payment sizes you can have a repay schedule that can last from a few months to multiple decades. And we, consumers, have gotten used to paying only those minimal monthly payments but the fact is that those lenders usually create these monthly payment schedules to maximize their income from those interest rates and the longer you have to pay the more money they extract from you. If you get a long term loan that lasts 10 to 20 years then in the course of that debt repayment you can pay in interest almost as much as the actual loanable funds. That is why many people when they realize this start to think about various methods how to minimize their losses and the easiest usually is to pay your debt faster and each month make larger payments not just the minimum.
Interest on loans usually is calculated from the remaining amount and that means at first interest payments will be much larger but later on they will become smaller and smaller as that initial loan is proportionally paid off. And if you invest money into paying back your loans faster you ultimately get less interest payments. That is why financial planners usually advise their customers to first repay their debt and only then think about any other investments because by investing money in your debt repayment you can easily get a return of 4% to 10% depending on the interest rate that your lender asks from you.
People usually tend to underestimate the magnitude that these faster payments can bring them because when you have a debt of 10000 Lari then paying 50 or 70 Lari each month seems to not make any difference. But when you do the calculations then by paying 50 Lari each month you will have to pay for more than 16 years but by paying 70 Lari each month that time is reduced to about 12 years. And that is not counting on the interest that will accumulate on that loan that you will also have to pay on top of that monthly payment. When you make calculations like these then you can understand that even small differences can make big changes and create a so called avalanche effect when a small snow flake can later create a massive snowfall. And in the case of debt repayments when you pay more than the minimum you can reduce the total loan term and save a lot of money that you will be able to use for other purposes.
Of course that does not mean that you have to stop spending cash and put everything into repaying your debt but that just implies that you can save a lot of money when you create small changes in your budget. But be sure to check your loan agreement because there can be cases where the lender has put in a paragraph where if the loan is repaid earlier the lender can get a penalty payment from the client. These cases are rear but they do happen so better be careful than pay extra! |

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73087 | Hosea 3
The downfall of the nation of Israel as Hosea puts it was whoredom. Meaning they committed adultery against the Heavenly Father by seeking after other gods. Although Hosea makes us understand clearly the sin, some have actually attempted to justify their sin. Some brothers that wear purple have asked “Are Images Wrong?”. They accuse brothers that teach against the sin of having graven images to be foolish Israelites that teach doctrines of devils. Within the page they get personal when they mention the person correcting them, as being “Spanish speaking” and to be envious or to have hatred towards Christ being black.
But when you continue reading for the answer to the question “Are Images Wrong?”; they seem to be blinded by their personal feelings to “Spanish speaking” Israelites. It seems that those correcting them are not as foolish as they say. They quoted Hosea 3:4 “For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:” To state, “we obviously had images and our images were taken from us”; with this explanation they dismiss what the verse is saying.
In the beginning of the chapter it let’s you know, that those images that God is removing from Israel were other gods. Hosea 3:1 “…the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.” A little research into some of the words such as ephod and teraphim would have also revealed the sin. Judges 17:5 “And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.” It should be obvious now, that all the things being “taken” away caused sins. There are many that feel that the worshiping of an image is the sin. However it is expressly written that the making and desiring of them is loving evil things. Deuteronomy 16:22 “Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.” |

Title: Adaptive Trajectory Estimation with Power Limited Steering Model under Perturbation Compensation
Abstract: Trajectory estimation under regional correlations is applied in numerous tasks like dynamic path planning, navigation and tracking. Many previous works get impressive results in the strictly controlled condition with accurate prior statistics and specific dynamic model for certain object. While in a more challenging situation without specific dynamic model and accurate prior statistics, the performance of these methods significantly declines. To estimate the trajectory without specific dynamic model, we propose a general model called the power-limited steering model (PLS), which is a natural combination of instantaneous power and instantaneous angular velocity. As a nonlinear model it needs less parameter to describe the switching of states compared with linear Markov process model. Then we derive the corresponding form in discrete time and compensate the nonlinear effect of perturbation with renormalization group. To overcome the biased prior statistics, the observations drift and linear growing computation in trajectory estimation, we propose the adaptive trajectory estimation (AdaTE) where the online updated statistics and the adaptive truncation time is applied. The experiment of typical trajectory estimation demonstrates that compared with EKF and UKF, AdaTE is more robust to the biased prior statistics and observation drift. Another task shows that with slight modification, AdaTE can be used in path planning that needs obstacle avoidance. Finally, we exhibit its potential application on trajectory optimization in visual tracking.

Personal Antivirus:
I typed my search keywords into Google and clicked on few links on the first page of results. One site interested me because it was redirecting me to some other site, the malicious web page whic is redirecting to new page was embedded with unnoticeable flash file named intro.swf. The web page on the redirected site welcomes us with a pop-up window saying "Warning!!!Your system.......". The pop-up warning window is similar across all malicious domains.
If we click OK or Cross(X)/Close button it will take us to fake scanning page depicting real Anti -virus scanning of the PC.
After the scanning it gives the scan results as shown in figure below depicting a real Anti-Virus scan stating various directories on the PC are infected with trojans.
Asks the users to download "Personal Antivirus" to protect their PC.
Clicking anywhere on this page will give a pop-up window to download Anti-virus binary.

AXIS Bank Phishing2...Be Careful !
Don't be surprised if you get a mail from AXIS bank (infact not from AXIS bank but from malicious user) saying "MPORTANT NOTICE: Update Your Axis Bank Ltd® Net Banking Details" (this is the subject). Notice the missing "I" for word IMPORTANT in the subject. Most people might end up reading reading "MPORTANT" as "IMPORTANT".
The mail looks like
Clicking "Update Your NetBanking Account" will redirect us to

Write anything in "Login ID" and "Password" text boxes and Click "Submit" tab without selecting the radio buttons, this will redirect us to
The authenticate.php page looks like
On this page we find "Download","Click Here" hyperlinks, on clicking them will redirect to

Holiday suggestion: Almaty
Almaty used to be the capital of Kazakhstan until 1998. Although the country has lost this status, it is still the most popular city in the country. It is undoubtedly the most progressive city in the country as remarkable structures with Russian influence and scenic nature in different areas of the city. Almaty literally means “Apples” as different types of apples could be found in different areas of the city. You can easily arrive in Almaty as most airlines have direct flights to the Almaty International Airport.
You don’t need to spend much in Almaty. You can visit two remarkable structures with Russian influence right in the city: the Zenkov Cathedral in Panfilow Park and the Central State Museum. Interestingly, the Cathedral was built without any use of nails. The museum on the other hand, will show you the Russian influence on the country.
But don’t just limit yourself to the wonderful parks in the city. Go outside a little bit and enjoy the scenic nature Almaty has to offer. Less than 20kms south of the city is the Zalaisky Alatau Mountain. The mountain is divided into two areas based on its heights: the Medeu located at 1700 meters above sea level and the Shymbulak which is at 2300 meters. You can enjoy skiing at Medeu and visit the massive Olympic stadium. If you’re into skating, you’ll find yourself challenged in the speed skating area in Medeu. Shymbulak on the other hand has a scenic resort for tourists.

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73186 | Run Baby Run: Part 1, Heartbreak
― John Bingham
Let’s get one thing straight, despite the above, I am NOT an actual runner. I like to think of my self as someone who happens to find they are running, on a semi regularly basis, if it’s not raining.
I used to be scared of running. Not the physical sensation of running per say, but of what people would think about my running; what I chose to run in, what my body looked like while I was running – that I wouldn’t look enough like a runner.
I basically thought a pack of means girls would come after me in all their stick thin glory and tease me. That was basically my nightmare scenario. Actually that’s still my nightmare scenario. It’s the old paradox that most of the people running don’t look like they need to run, because they run. Same with gyms. Yikes.
Then something came a long that actually made me feel worse than what the imaginary mean girls might say. Heart Break.
I ran for the first time, as an adult – other than being chased or for a particular reason (like buses, cake sales or seeing friends in a crowd) because I was heart broken and someone wise said it would help.
I ran because there wasn’t a shout loud enough to convey my grief or a pillow huge enough to punch. I ran to exhaust myself because my inner monologue was driving me mad. I ran because I didn’t want to put weight back on.
Yeah, let’s not kid ourselves, my running was mostly triggered by vanity. I continued running for other reasons, which I’ll share with you next time.
I cannot in all good conscience tell you I run, now, after the heartache healed, to commune with the world around me. That I love how the sun feels on my gazelle like limbs as I prance by with a cool breeze drying the sweat womanly glow from my face.
It’s just not true. I still don’t like to run. There are people who do, who run for the sheer pleasure of running. I run for the pleasure of stopping, and how I feel afterwards which is mainly exhausted and smug. I’m obnoxious that way. I’m sure there’s an endorphin high in there somewhere but presently this is covered by the smug.
Is it possible to run to mend a broken heart? No, probably not, sorry. Is it a good distraction? Absolutely, if you’re anything like me, the shock of running will be a different sort of hell. It’s also surprisingly difficult to run and cry, it makes you choose how to use your oxygen and whether you want to lose bodily fluids from your eyes or your sweat glands.
Plus you can stomp people’s heads into the ground as you run, metaphorically speaking and that’s quite fun. You also get to feel strong and capable and that’s often stolen from us during the desolation of heart break.
Below I am sharing my running playlist, I once again open myself and my musical taste up for ridicule; see here for what you should listen to while driving America in a car, possibly with a loved one.
Heart Break Running List 2013
Short and Sweet, it’s hardly stereotype busting. Basically grab a whole load of Angry Girl music and whack em’ on a play list. It’s so short because I would play ‘Blow me one last Kiss’ on repeat for most of the run and sometimes sing along too – not often mind, as I ran out of puff…..
Warm Up:
YES – McAlmont and Butler
The ultimate break up song, IMO, plus it’s epically long so it makes a good warm up walk option.
Running/Walking (in my case):
So What? – Pink
So what, I’m still a rock star – I think I’ve made my point.
Blow Me One Last Kiss – Pink
Sheesh, she’s an angry lady sometimes. I like this one, mainly because my dad found it on the radio and basically decided it would heal my heart. He choose well, it’s a break-up classic. Plus there’s swearing, which I think you need when you’re sad and pissed off.
Bullet Proof – La Roux
I just wanted to be tough, a whole lot tougher than I felt.
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together – Taylor Swift
I like Taylor Swift. I like her because she is Taylor Swift and yet her heart has been stomped on, a lot, a lot a lot. I find that comforting (sorry TS).
Single Ladies – Beyonce
I mean… really…
Dog Days Are Over – Florence and the Machine
It has the word run in it. A lot. And that sometimes helped me to remember what I was doing ( I wish I was joking).
Cool Down:
Born This Way – Lady Gaga
Something about the line: Keep your paws up, you were born this way.
Rumor Has It – Adele
The ultimate beat heavy, revenge song. Plus Adele + heartbreak = Duh!
Don’t Look Back – She and Him
‘All you’ll ever get is the dust from the steps before’
I used to try and end it on a cheerful breakup note.
What can I say? You want good taste, probably best you look elsewhere. |

The Woodstove Lamp
Here are a couple images of a prototype stove lamp. We experimented with TEGs (Thermoelectric Generator) when developing our IDEAL STEEL Hybrid. Originally we thought we would need the current to power a small fan to pressurize the secondary air supply, but it turns out the fan was not necessary.
The TEG supplies a small amount of current. While the TEG is not very efficient, the current is free and will generate enough power to charge a cell phone or, in this case, power a light.
Since we already had TEGs attached to the stove, we designed a prototype stove lamp with a swing arm. It clamps to the pipe (sorry, no rear-vent version yet). We use a chinois sieve for the shade, but if we were to produce them we would use perforated metal. The light is an LED and will stay on almost all of the time the stove is warm. If you were to lose power, the stove would provide heat, a cooking surface, and light. The light is right over the cooktop, where you would need it.

1. What a bright idea.
2. You need to develop one for the rear-vent version.
3. I love the lamp ! Would sure like to get one, if you go into productionof the lamps |

This means that God is three persons, not three gods. Technically, the doctrine of the Trinity states that in the one God is the person of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is not the same person as the other, yet there are not three gods but one. This is similar in analogy to the nature of time. Time is past, present, and future. The past is not the same as the present, which is not the same as the future. But, there are not three times. There is only one thing called time. The reason the word "person" is used in describing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is because each exhibits attributes of personhood -- not in a body of flesh and bones, but in personality.
In other words, each has a will, loves, speaks, is aware of others, communicates with others, etc. These are attributes of personhood, and we see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each demonstrate these qualities. Relics associated with Jesus. Watts state that the crucifixion of Jesus is as certain as any historical fact can be. Eddy and Gregory A. Boyd say that non-Christian confirmation of the crucifixion of Jesus is now "firmly established".
Muslims believe that she conceived her son miraculously by the command of God. Joseph was from these perspectives the acting adoptive father. I have to say that I do not know any respectable critical scholar who says that any more". Price does not believe that Jesus existed, but agrees that this perspective runs against the views of the majority of scholars. Dunn calls the theories of Jesus' non-existence "a thoroughly dead thesis". Van Voorst states that biblical scholars and classical historians regard theories of non-existence of Jesus as effectively refuted.
These units were later moved and arranged by authors and editors. Some material has been revised and some created by early Christians. His followers came to believe he was the promised Messiah and later split away from Judaism to found Christianity. The fact that Jesus existed, that he was crucified under Pontius Pilate for whatever reason and that he had a band of followers who continued to support his cause, seems to be part of the bedrock of historical tradition. If nothing else, the non-Christian evidence can provide us with certainty on that score. Meier states that Jesus' birth year is c.
Jesus Christ is King, Son Of God
Age of Reason, , pp. Christology was a major focus of these debates, and was addressed at every one of the first seven ecumenical councils. Some early beliefs viewed Jesus as ontologically subordinate to the Father Subordinationism , and others considered him an aspect of the Father rather than a separate person Sabellianism , both were condemned as heresies by the Catholic Church.

He then analyses a series of intellectual attributes: Early Christians believed that the words of the Gospel of John 1: However, later on the Hand of God symbol is found several times in the only ancient synagogue with a large surviving decorative scheme, the Dura Europos Synagogue of the mid-3rd century, and was probably adopted into Early Christian art from Jewish art.
The Christian God - ReligionFacts
It was common in Late Antique art in both East and West, and remained the main way of symbolizing the actions or approval of God the Father in the West until about the end of the Romanesque period. It also represents the bath Kol literally "daughter of a voice" or voice of God, just like in Jewish Art. In situations, such as the Baptism of Christ , where a specific representation of God the Father was indicated, the Hand of God was used, with increasing freedom from the Carolingian period until the end of the Romanesque.
This motif now, since the discovery of the 3rd century Dura Europos synagogue , seems to have been borrowed from Jewish art , and is found in Christian art almost from its beginnings. The use of religious images in general continued to increase up to the end of the 7th century, to the point that in , upon assuming the throne, Byzantine emperor Justinian II put an image of Christ on the obverse side of his gold coins, resulting in a rift which ended the use of Byzantine coin types in the Islamic world.
For instance, while the eighty second canon of the Council of Trullo in did not specifically condemn images of The Father, it suggested that icons of Christ were preferred over Old Testament shadows and figures. The beginning of the 8th century witnessed the suppression and destruction of religious icons as the period of Byzantine iconoclasm literally image-breaking started.
Emperor Leo III — , suppressed the use of icons by imperial edict of the Byzantine Empire , presumably due to a military loss which he attributed to the undue veneration of icons. In this atmosphere, no public depictions of God the Father were even attempted and such depictions only began to appear two centuries later. The Second Council of Nicaea in effectively ended the first period of Byzantine iconoclasm and restored the honouring of icons and holy images in general. Even supporters of the use of icons in the 8th century, such as Saint John of Damascus , drew a distinction between images of God the Father and those of Christ.
But now when God is seen in the flesh conversing with men, I make an image of the God whom I see". So what was true for the whole Trinity before Christ remains true for the Father and the Spirit but not for the Word. John of Damascus wrote: It is impossible to portray one who is without body: Around Charlemagne ordered a set of four books that became known as the Libri Carolini i.
Although not well known during the Middle Ages, these books describe the key elements of the Catholic theological position on sacred images. To the Western Church , images were just objects made by craftsmen, to be utilized for stimulating the senses of the faithful, and to be respected for the sake of the subject represented, not in themselves. The Council of Constantinople considered ecumenical by the Western Church, but not the Eastern Church reaffirmed the decisions of the Second Council of Nicaea and helped stamp out any remaining coals of iconoclasm.
But images of God the Father were not directly addressed in Constantinople in A list of permitted icons was enumerated at this Council, but symbols of God the Father were not among them. Prior to the 10th century no attempt was made to use a human to symbolize God the Father in Western art. A rationale for the use of a human is the belief that God created the soul of Man in the image of His own thus allowing Human to transcend the other animals. It appears that when early artists designed to represent God the Father, fear and awe restrained them from a usage of the whole human figure.
Typically only a small part would be used as the image, usually the hand, or sometimes the face, but rarely a whole human. In many images, the figure of the Son supplants the Father, so a smaller portion of the person of the Father is depicted. By the 12th century depictions of God the Father had started to appear in French illuminated manuscripts , which as a less public form could often be more adventurous in their iconography, and in stained glass church windows in England.
Gradually the amount of the human symbol shown can increase to a half-length figure, then a full-length, usually enthroned, as in Giotto 's fresco of c. The "Gates of Paradise" of the Florence Baptistry by Lorenzo Ghiberti , begun in use a similar tall full-length symbol for the Father. The Rohan Book of Hours of about also included depictions of God the Father in half-length human form, which were now becoming standard, and the Hand of God becoming rarer. At the same period other works, like the large Genesis altarpiece by the Hamburg painter Meister Bertram , continued to use the old depiction of Christ as Logos in Genesis scenes.
In the 15th century there was a brief fashion for depicting all three persons of the Trinity as similar or identical figures with the usual appearance of Christ. In the Annunciation by Benvenuto di Giovanni in , God the Father is portrayed in the red robe and a hat that resembles that of a Cardinal.
However, even in the later part of the 15th century, the symbolic representation of the Father and the Holy Spirit as "hands and dove" continued, e. In Renaissance paintings of the adoration of the Trinity, God may be depicted in two ways, either with emphasis on The Father, or the three elements of the Trinity. The most usual depiction of the Trinity in Renaissance art depicts God the Father using an old man, usually with a long beard and patriarchal in appearance, sometimes with a triangular halo as a reference to the Trinity , or with a papal crown, specially in Northern Renaissance painting.
In these depictions The Father may hold a globe or book to symbolize God's knowledge and as a reference to how knowledge is deemed divine. He is behind and above Christ on the Cross in the Throne of Mercy iconography. A dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit may hover above. Various people from different classes of society, e. They are depicted as floating in heaven with angels who carry the instruments of the Passion. Representations of God the Father and the Trinity were attacked both by Protestants and within Catholicism, by the Jansenist and Baianist movements as well as more orthodox theologians.
As with other attacks on Catholic imagery, this had the effect both of reducing Church support for the less central depictions, and strengthening it for the core ones. In the Western Church , the pressure to restrain religious imagery resulted in the highly influential decrees of the final session of the Council of Trent in The Council of Trent decrees confirmed the traditional Catholic doctrine that images only represented the person depicted, and that veneration to them was paid to the person, not the image. Artistic depictions of God the Father were uncontroversial in Catholic art thereafter, but less common depictions of the Trinity were condemned.
In Pope Benedict XIV explicitly supported the Throne of Mercy depiction, referring to the "Ancient of Days", but in it was still necessary for Pope Pius VI to issue a papal bull condemning the decision of an Italian church council to remove all images of the Trinity from churches. God the Father is symbolized in several Genesis scenes in Michelangelo 's Sistine Chapel ceiling , most famously The Creation of Adam whose image of near touching hands of God and Adam is iconic of humanity, being a reminder that Man is created in the Image and Likeness of God Gen 1: God the Father is depicted as a powerful figure, floating in the clouds in Titian's Assumption of the Virgin in the Frari of Venice , long admired as a masterpiece of High Renaissance art.
In some of these paintings the Trinity is still alluded to in terms of three angels, but Giovanni Battista Fiammeri also depicted God the Father as a man riding on a cloud, above the scenes. In both the Last Judgment and the Coronation of the Virgin paintings by Rubens he depicted God the Father using the image that by then had become widely accepted, a bearded patriarchal figure above the fray.
While representations of God the Father were growing in Italy, Spain, Germany and the Low Countries, there was resistance elsewhere in Europe, even during the 17th century. In most members of the Star Chamber court in England except the Archbishop of York condemned the use of the images of the Trinity in church windows, and some considered them illegal.
In the 43rd chapter of the Great Moscow Council specifically included a ban on a number of symbolic depictions of God the Father and the Holy Spirit, which then also resulted in a whole range of other icons being placed on the forbidden list, [66] [67] mostly affecting Western-style depictions which had been gaining ground in Orthodox icons. However some icons continued to be produced in Russia, as well as Greece , Romania , and other Orthodox countries. The Christian characterization of the relationship between God and humanity involves the notion of the "Kingship of God", whose origins go back to the Old Testament, and may be seen as a consequence of the creation of the world by God.
The term " Kingdom of God " does not appear in the Old Testament, although "his Kingdom" and "your Kingdom" are used in some cases when referring to God. |

Bernard Mellman (22 minutes)
Bernie Mellman served with the US Army in Europe in 1945 and 1946. In April 1945 his battalion, the 542nd Field Artillery, assisted in the liberation of the concentration camp at Dachau. He was twenty years old, and like most American soldiers, had no idea that the death camps existed — even though he was Jewish. It was, he remembers, “a soul-wrenching experience for me. . . . I can still see . . . starved, emaciated inmates. . . . I remember seeing those ovens and smelling the stench of dead bodies.” A few days later Bernie took part in the capture of nearby Munich. He and his wife Beverly lived in Dayton until recently moving to Florida.
Discussion questions
1. How would an experience like Bernie’s change you?
2. Unlike most other soldiers who stumbled into concentration camps, Bernie was Jewish. How do you think this made his experience different from that of a non-Jewish soldier?

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73309 | Review/ Read Along: Teresa's Mystery Continues in "The Scorch Trials" Chapters 43-46
Amanda McHugh ‘18/ Emertainment Monthly Staff Writer
“The Scorch Trials,” sequel to “The Maze Runner” (written by James Dashner and directed by Wes Ball) will be hitting the big screen on September 18. To get psyched for more action-packed dystopia, Emertainment Monthly will be re-reading and reviewing “The Scorch Trials” chapter by chapter.
Teresa Agnes, played by Kaya Scodelario, first premiered in The Maze Runner series in the first book and movie. Her entrance was a little different from book to movie. While in the book she came up in a coma, and didn’t wake up for a few weeks, she was called the Trigger for the Ending (essentially the Maze trials were ending). In the movie she came up in the box (same way as the book), but immediately wakes up, says Thomas’ name, and then passes out. She then stays in a coma for about a day. Though in the book Teresa and Thomas often communicated telepathically, in the movie their connection was still strong. Seeming like a helpless girl in a coma, Teresa soon proved herself to be just as tough as the guys when she fights off Grievers, helps solve the Maze puzzle, and gets the group to escape through the Griever hole.
At the start of The Scorch Trials, Teresa is still just as close and friendly with Thomas and the rest of the boys. Though after her mysterious disappearance, from both Thomas’s telepathic connection and physically being replaced by Aris, she changed drastically. On one hand she would tell Thomas he needs to trust her and only her, but on the other hand she goes in and out of his life, and also yelled at him telepathically at one point. Where we last left off, Thomas had just been retuned to the group after being fixed up by WICKED, and had heard Teresa tell him telepathically that tomorrow was going to be awful, but that he needed to trust her.

So even though it shouldn’t be a surprise, when Teresa is holding a sharp spear, and the rest of the Group B girls are encircling the boys with bows and arrows, it’s still a little shocking (Group B were the girls in the Maze trials. Group A is the Thomas and the boys). Things escalate even faster when Teresa threatens to start killing them off one by one if Thomas doesn’t go with them immediately, with no one following. Minho, being the good friend that he is, tries to prevent this from happening. But Thomas isn’t the one to risk other lives over himself, so he goes.
Two girls, a dark skinned girl named Harriet and a reddish blond girl named Sonya, awkwardly drag Thomas with a bag over his head. They were commanded by WICKED to drag him until the boys could no longer see them. This whole time Teresa is clearly the leader, but cold, almost emotionless. However, at one point as their dragging Thomas, she whispers in his ear that it’s almost all over. But then they still drag him across the desert ground. So who’s going to actually trust Teresa right now?
When they get above the mountain, they tie Thomas up to a tree. Thomas remembers his tattoo that read “To be killed by Group B,” and asks why they’re going to kill him, but Teresa just shouts that the all know what Thomas did to them, and now he has to pay. It’s most likely Teresa is talking about the Maze. That Thomas was one of the creators who made the trials, and put all of them in the Maze. In addition, it’s also unclear is Teresa is being controlled by WICKED or not. She isn’t acting the way Gally did before he killed Chuck in The Maze Runner, or the way she was in earlier chapters when she kissed Thomas, but was clearly in pain fighting something. Here, she seems almost happy to see Thomas suffer before she plans to kill him. She yells at him “shut up” multiple times, and keeps saying he knows what he did to them. To her, specifically. Though Thomas doesn’t know what she’s talking about, again, it might have to do with the whole he helped create the Maze trials thing. Finally though, they leave him, and he falls asleep.
Teresa’s character has changed drastically since we first saw her in The Maze Runner, and even in the beginning of The Scorch Trials. Though she may be being controlled by WICKED, if this is who she is now, controlled or uncontrolled, Teresa’s negative character development is actually quite amazing to read. Instead of Teresa becoming this girl even more trustworthy and perfect from before, she becomes bitter and unpredictable. Moreover, Teresa is also contrasting Brenda now. Brenda has become the sweet, innocent girl, whereas Teresa is ruthless and cruel. Maybe this says something about staying around WICKED a little too long. It’s still unsure if she’s actually going to kill Thomas, or if she’s just putting on an act.
Be sure to check out the new trailer for The Scorch Trials, coming out on September 18!

Tax Return
So I finally stopped procrastinating and met with my accountant today to do my tax return for last financial year.
As expected, I have to pay back a whooping sum of money out of my very own pocket on top of what's already been taken out of my wages. *Rolls eyes*
Can't say I'm too pleased about that, but I guess it's something that we all have to live with. Oh well, what are you gonna do huh? *Shrugs*
To add insult to injury, I found out that I'm not eligible for the tax bonus payment from Rudd.
The one time, the ONE time, that Oz government is giving back something for the hefty amount of tax I have to pay every year, I'm not eligible!
What, now we're being punished for working too hard and making too much money?! Pfftt!
Well, I guess it's unfair for me to take it out on Ruddy boy because, let's face it, it's really not his fault. It's just my luck.
My bloody no-luck with money!
Now that I haven't worked and practically didn't make a dime for this financial year, I highly doubt there will be another giveaway this time round.
Seriously! It's just my LUCK.
And I'm getting really tired of it.

What Will Be, Will Be
Que Sera Sera
Doris Day
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me
Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera
What will be, will be
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly
Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera
What will be, will be
Que Sera Sera
A beautiful night in Melbourne with clear sky and light breezes.
With scented candles burning and Doris Day playing in the background, I curled up in bed with freshly washed hair, contemplating whether or not to open the bottle of red I had just bought earlier on today while waiting for my boy to call.
A night like this reminded me so much of my days in school, or those days when I first arrived in Australia.
That's nearly 10 years ago.
How did we grow up so fast?

I Belong to You
You Belong to Me
Jason Wade
See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me
Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me
I made Bee a promise today.
I promised to be strong.
It's not easy, given the state of mind I'm in, but I will try.
I'm sure I'll still break down and cry tomorrow. But this time, I'll try to remember that even when life throws us curve balls, I'm still lucky because I'm loved by you, and we're still a team.
If we don't catch the ball first time round, maybe it's the best any of us could do to try to take a swing at it.
And if that failed too, we'll watch for the next pitch. Together.
I'm not as strong as that sounded. Tears are welling up in my eyes as I'm typing this, and my hands are shaking. I'm just so alone without you.
But I will try. For you.
I'm not a strong person, but I will try.
Till I get to come home to you again. Wherever we decide that might be.
I love you, sweetie. And I'm so sorry for how difficult and hurtful I've been.
Happy birthday, baby!

I'm in a dark dark place.
A place so dark that there isn't a faintest trace of light.
A place so dark that you feel like the whole world had deserted you.
A place so dark that you're afraid to hope.
A place so dark that it seems pointless to scream for help.
A place so dark that no one could reach me. And I can't reach out.
I've lost count of the times I break down and cry in a day. I looked in the mirror, and I couldn't recall when was the last time I was truly happy.
There's so much pain and anger in me that I don't know what to do with myself. Then there's so much fear and loneliness that I almost feel paralysed.
I wake up every morning, only wanting to go back to sleep.
Nothing seems to be getting better, I only feel like I've sunk deeper than the day before.
And my only relief comes in a little white tablet called Stilnox.
I feel so alone.
So. So. Alone.

Of Post-It Notes and Tape Dispenser
Today is the first day since I arrived back in Melbourne that I woke up feeling slightly more positive.
I'm still terribly homesick and having difficulties adjusting to being on my own, but at least today, I'm starting to appreciate that it's a beautiful sunny autumn day out there.
The sunlight is warm and the air is crisp, it's the perfect day to sit in the sun for an afternoon cuppa, or for a slow stroll at the park.
I love Melbourne, I do. I just wish that I didn't have to be here all by myself and my Bee could be with me too.
Anyhoo, to cheer myself up, I went downstairs and bought stationeries. Call me weird, but labels, glue sticks, and freshly sharpened pencils make me happy.
And I'm telling ya, for a stationery freak to live above a huge Officeworks is like a diabetic having to live next to Krispy Kreme. Imagine walking past your favourite candy store everyday! :|
Though I have to admit that I've been away for long enough to make me think twice about paying AU$20 for a stack of Post-it's, but I have an even bigger soft spot for colourful papers and stickers so I caved anyway. *Shrugs*
Maybe someday I'll show you my stationery collection, but then you'd probably just start thinking that I'm a bigger freak than what I've already told you about. Haha.
I hope everyone else is having a great day. And do leave a comment to tell me what made you happy today. :)
Signing out.

Happy Easter!
It's been a week since I left Malaysia.
I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging much after my Bangkok trip. I was busy shopping before I left KL for Oz, and been busy settling into my new place since I got back to Melbourne.
The place is still a mess, the unpacking process is slow and painful. I don't even have my own internet connection yet, I'm currently piggybacking on my neighbour's wireless, so sshhh.....
I want to quickly thank those who's left comments or emailed me. Thank heaps for your concerns and sweet messages! I'm fine, will update more when I can, I promise. And of course, lots of backdated entries (which is so typical of me, haha.) when I have time to sort through them.
Till then, I hope everyone is having a great Easter weekend!
Later. :) |

Scientists firm up global climate forecasts
Scientists firm up global climate forecasts
LONDON - While some meteorologists have difficulty getting the five-day forecast right, climatologists have firmed up their predictions of how much warmer the climate will be over the next 20 to 30 years.
New research by two teams of scientists using different climate models predicts the global mean temperature will be between 0.3 and 1.3 degrees Centigrade (about 0.5-2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer by 2020-2030 than it was in 1990-2000. Later in the century, if greenhouse gas emissions are at the high end of predictions, they could force up temperatures by 0.3 to seven degrees C (0.5-13 degrees F). \"The estimate we are producing over the next 20 to 30 years is very much in line with previous estimates,\" said Peter Stott of the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Britain. His analysis, which is reported in the science journal Nature, is based on an atmosphere-ocean global climate model, but it is in line with results of a study by Thomas Stocker and scientists at the University of Bern in Switzerland. They used a different climate model which estimated a 0.5-1.1 degree C increase over the next three decades. \"What we\'re providing are uncertainty estimates of future climate change that can be used by planners and policy makers. We\'re providing information that people can use in the form of a distribution of the likely temperature changes,\" Stott added in an interview. In a commentary on the research, Francis Zwiers of the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis in British Columbia said the studies in the journal produce a consistent picture of future climate change. \"For the near term, projections made by different models with different emission scenarios produce remarkably similar results on the global scale,\" he said. Zwiers noted that the upper estimates of both teams of scientists for temperatures at the end of the century may be higher than predictions by the U.N.-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which estimates the average global temperature could be as much as six degrees C higher than it was in 1990.

Intro to Wikis
1. How do people interact? Just like other IM interactions. 2. What is the pattern of communication? People in the chat room can communicate with all or with individual users. They can also issue IRC commands like /help. 3. Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning? Any text prefixed with # is a MeetBot command. 4. What advantages might IRC have over other real-time communication methods (like Google Chat or Facebook Messenger?) Are there potential disadvantages? Looks and feels techie! MeetBot and other services are a plus. 5. Can you make any other observations? The MeetBot summarizes the meeting pretty well. I understand that it is more work for the meeting chair but it is worth the trouble. 6. Bonus question: Why didn't Heidi and Darci's actions get picked up by the meetbot? A username is case-sensitive. The MeetBot looks for usernames in interactions for action assignments. <nowiki> ==== Sample HFOSS projects ==== ====== Sugar Labs ====== [ SugarLabs homepage] * computer use in education (K-12) * many roles, such as, educator, developer, designer, translator * coding in Python, JavaScript * base module is called ''Glucose'' * base activity modules are called ''Fructose'' * Google Summer of Code * last push in March 2014! ====== Sahana Eden ====== [ SahanaEden homepage] * humanitarian platform for solutions to disaster management, development, environmental management * many roles, such as, devloper, tester, translator, designer, GIS specialist * coding in Python, JavaScript, SQLite * Communication through Google Groups, IRC, mail lists * last active ticket in 2015 ====== OpenMRS ====== [ OpenMRS homepage] ==== FOSS project hosting ==== ====== SourceForge ====== [ SourceForge homepage] ====== OpenHub ====== [ OpenHub homepage] ==== FOSS in a class ==== == '''POSSE Stage 2 Activities - Workshop''' == == '''POSSE Stage 3 Activities - Post-workshop''' ==

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73386 | Can I tell what type of target I have by the GPR signal strength?
GPR signal strength
is survey dependent
and the simple answer is no. This is because the same object can give different signal responses depending on different factors.
GPR signal strength or amplitude is not specific to just a type of target. Signal strength is based on several factors: electrical contrast, object size/orientation, and signal absorption (subsurface conditions).
The electrical contrast between materials determines the reflection coefficient, which is how much signal is reflected. Materials with a high reflection coefficient will produce a stronger signal. For instance, metal in concrete will produce a greater signal than clay pottery in soil because the reflection coefficients have a greater electrical contrast. In other words, a stronger GPR signal will be produced if there is a greater difference in electrical properties between the subsurface and the target,
The object’s size and orientation will affect the signal response as well. Larger objects will reflect more signal and therefore create a larger response. Furthermore, the more surface area that the radar can reflect off of the better. For example, a pipe laid horizontally will produce more signal than a pipe of the same size that is orientated vertically because the radar will have more surface that reflects the GPR signal.
Orientation and Response
Orientation and Response
One also needs to consider that as the ground penetrating radar signal penetrates deeper, the signal spreads out farther, a little like looking at an upside down funnel. Thus, the signal is less focused and absorption of the less concentrated signal reduces the amount of energy that can be returned to the GPR Receiver. Therefore, the signal response becomes weaker and a larger object will be needed to provide a response. In the end, if the GPR signal has little penetration through the subsurface, it doesn’t matter what kind of target that you have below it will not likely respond very well.

Big events & your memory
When you experience an emotionally-charged event, it's something that is etched into your memory, and now scientists think they know why. In experiments with mice, researchers found that powerful surges of hormone norepinephrine -- surges that occur during emotional episodes -- cause a series of events that strengthen the connections between neurons, sealing these events into memory. "The question is why is it that you can remember some trivial events that occur at a time when there is high emotional arousal," said lead researcher Dr. Roberto Malinow of the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory, New York. "For example, everyone remembers where they were when they heard about September 11, even though they may have been in some trivial place."
The researchers found that norepinephrine can modify brain cell-receptors, making them easier to go into synapses -- the tiny spaces between brain cells -- making it easier to learn and form memories, Malinow said. In studies with mice, Malinow's group found that norepinephrine, coupled with emotional stress, plays an important role in lowering the threshold for certain brain cell-receptors called GluR1. This, in turn, causes a boost in memory.
When the researchers put lab mice through behavioural tests, they found that exposure to norepinephrine made normal mice remember events more clearly. But, mice with mutations of the GluR1 receptors that were exposed to norepinephrine did not show improved memory. Norepinephrine is known to play a part in the emotional control of memory. During emotional stress, norepinephrine is released by neurons (brain cells) in many areas of the brain involved with forming emotional memories. Malinow thinks this finding could lead to new treatments for conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder. One expert sees this study as an extension of similar work, which showed that norepinephrine is involved in the memory of fearful events that can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Council Has Spoken!! This Week's Watcher's Council Results
There was an important date in America's history that just passed almost unnoticed.
This week's winner, Joshuapundit's Appomattox: The Fire Is Quenched is both an historical account of what occurred when General Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia and ended the Civil War and my take on something very important it has to teach us today? What is it? To find out you'll have to read it and draw your own conclusions. Here's a slice:
One hundred and forty eight years ago today, there was a place called Appomattox whose name was on every American's tongue, and seared in every American's heart, for good or ill. Today, it's almost forgotten.
On April 9th, 1865, it was the site of General's Lee's surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac.It meant the end of the bloodiest and most costly war in American history.
Fittingly, it was a Sunday, the Christian Sabbath, when the two men met to do what both of them knew would end a terrible struggle. The two armies had hewed and hacked at each other in places like Antietam, Fredericksburg, The Wilderness, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor and Spottsylvania. For a generation afterwards, men who had been there and experienced what happened at these and other battles would grow quiet, remembering the horror of places like the Cornfield,the Stone Wall, the Bloody Angle, the Peach Orchard, and Devil's Den.
But on that day, April 9th, the guns were eerily silent.It was as though the bones of 600,000 dead men had risen up as one to cry "enough! no more!"
General Lee had planned to make a final stand of it, a final try at breaking through and doing the broken field running he'd somehow managed to carry off throughout the war. Lee reasoned that if he could just smash through the Union cavalry screen with one all out effort and get his battered Army of Northern Virginia through to his supply trains at Lynchburg, he'd be able to regroup and fight another day.
When he learned that the Union cavalry was backed up by two fresh corps of infantry, he realized that after four years it was all over, that trying to break through with his starving, exhausted and outnumbered army was a vain hope. So on April 8th he sent a messenger under a flag of truce to ask for a meeting with General Grant to discuss terms. After the two men exchanged a series of notes, they agreed to meet.
Contrary to popular belief, Lee and Grant and their staffs didn't meet in an actual courthouse. Instead, they met in a private home, that of Wilmer McLean, at 1:30 PM on a balmy spring afternoon.
In our non-Council category, the winner was Sarah Palin with The Grocer's Daughter submitted by Joshuapundit. It's a brilliant tribute to Margaret Thatcher that focuses not on on her as a political revolutionary but as a class boundaries breaker. Do read it.
OK, here are this week’s full results:

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73454 | Dimensions of International Hierarchy in the Post-Soviet Space: Analytical Approaches and Empirical Reflections
Cover Page
The article is dedicated to dimensions of international hierarchy in the post-soviet space. The phenomenon of hierarchy in International Relations is a specific theme. Given the traditional divide between domestic and international domains of political life, hierarchy as an ordering principle is traditionally ascribed to the domestic sphere of the modern state, whereas anarchy is the feature characterizing the relations between states on international arena.

Manic Miner
Author:Paul Taylor E-mail
Format: Zipped GB-format - Size:42,9Kb
Description: Almost identical to the Spectrum-version, but utilizes 'scrolling' to compensate for the Gameboy's low resolution. Runs smooth on emulators, but tends to be a bit buggy on real Gameboys according to the creator... Well, who cares? It's FUCKING GREAT!
Thanx to Paul Taylor for mailing me the game!
Jet Set Willy
Author:Paul Taylor E-mail
First version - Size:41,9Kb
V.2 Beta 3 - Size:27Kb
V.2 Beta 4- Size:28Kb
Description: This version stays pretty much true to the original Spectrum version. It's got the same gfx (it even simulates colour clash), sound and music. (As with Manic Miner, the game utilizes scrolling to compensate for the Gameboy's low resolution.) In other words: A damn fine game! We're still dealing with beta-releases, but the beta four seems to be on it's way. No we've got a scrolltext, infinite lives, the writetyper mode and a load/save-option. I'll try and dig up some information on how to get hold of and use the flash carts that are necessary to port this game to a real Gameboy. I know some of you Willy-fans out there are mad enough to buy a Gameboy just to play Jet Set Willy in the elevator.

Company: ? - Author:Andy Noble?
Format: Zipped V64 - Size:105Kb
Description: Well, this certainly is the Andy Noble version (PC/Playstation) but who converted it is not that certain. N64-emulation is still very slow on my PII 400mhz, but the game works. Use Sunset or Nemu64... I wish I could play it on my real N64... (This is my way to tell you that I own a N64... Why? I don't know... I just have this compulsive need to tell people what electronic toys I've got...)
Ah, what the hell!... here's a list of the computer/console systems I have had in my posession:

global_01_local_0_shard_00002368_processed.jsonl/73459 | How To Make Sure That Your Children Understands & Respects Their Religion
In this day and age, many parents tend to complain that they cannot raise Christian children. That is because many are not interested in learning about religion. Furthermore, they also claim that they want to live without following a particular faith. We know that this can be very disheartening to hear. But we don’t think it is impossible to accomplish this task. Instead, we simply think that you need to start teaching them their religion from a young age.
Study The Bible With The Children
You have no hopes of raising a Christian child if you don’t study the bible. That is because if you don’t prioritize this book neither would your children. They would fail to see its importance. Thus, that is why you need to study the Bible with your children every week. We know that you all lead hectic lives. Furthermore, we also know that you have full-time jobs. But you don’t work on all 7 days. Therefore even if you don’t have time during the weekdays then try to engage in this activity during the weekend. That is because you never know you can end up motivating your children to apply for a scholarship for theology students.
Answer Your Child’s Questions
It does not matter how old your child is. That is because we can guarantee that they would have countless questions about their faith. But unfortunately, many parents have a tendency to ignore these questions. This may be because they don’t know the answer or it may be because they don’t have the time to answer questions. We understand that you don’t have the knowledge of christian community churches. But you still need to take the time to answer the questions that the child is asking you. Otherwise, they would start to develop doubts about their religion and with their faith. This is something that you don’t want happening. Furthermore, we also understand that there are certain questions that you won’t know the answer to. Then what you need to do is encourage your children to ask them from a religious leader. The next time they go to Sunday school they can then direct these questions to their teachers.
Encourage Children To Ask Questions
When the child reads the bible or when you read it to them it is easy for them to find some parts difficult to understand. When this happens they would most definitely ask you questions. Therefore this is something that you need to encourage your child to do.By adhering to these tips you would be able to help your child develop a stronger faith in their religion.
Somethings Lead To Risks That We Never Realize.
Why do people give up? What forces them to give up on living and lead their life to death? Many have their own reasons and they still don’t look at world in another way. Why though, they don’t see anything past their sorrows and sadness. Sometimes it is difficult to understand why they cat that way, mean and distanced from the world and everyone they care about. Many keep away from the happiness that is being offered to them and hurt them from inside, it is not because they can’t accept it is mostly because they have already given up on their living. The people who fight more often tend to break down into pieces and shatter when it comes to thinking and trying again. When something happens to them and it leaves a mark on their mind they tend to keep repeating it over and over again in their head in such a way that they forget everything else and turn them self-down and completely shut them from everything. It’s sad how they don’t attempt to see anything over it, because the effect is so powerful and strong that nothing breaks through and they end up suffering little by little until they them self-end their life, And that’s what most of them do when they can’t fight. Many lives are lost because of the neglect the society and family make on them, no support for them to lean on and depend on but only judgements passed on them for being a coward. Why do that? Why judge? Why can’t people save more lives than encourage the end of it? People should help each other with the issues they face. The best way is to consult and share care and love. Save more lives than lose them, because they are valuable to someone somewhere.
Make the best attempts to save lives.
When people go through sorrow and stressful phases in life they end up being lonely and suffocating them. Depression treatment Perth are available for those who look for help and have hope to live, many choose to live but see no hope because they feel there is no help. But there is help when you see it deep.
Get help from people who understand the situation.
Professional Psychologists are those people who understand the situation completely and help the people who need the help most in the worse situations. They completely know what you will be in need of when your own mind is not supporting your head.
There is hope for everyone to live.
Life is something valuable to everyone and it should be saved with hope more than kill it with despair. |

Figure 3. connectionStrings in web.config
Writing connection string manually is one of the worst things in software development. That's why I always want them to be generated by any tool but not by me. Some times before I have found a way how to generate a connection string creating an .udl file in Windows (http://markimarta.com/c/how-easily-write-the-text-of-connection-string/). Now I've found a better way.

Usage "Application configuration file" is very good in creating simple applications. It's very good to store in it values like path, string for database connection or something like this. I use it for a long time. But not so long ago I have noticed that Studio highlights string where configuration file used: (read more...)
