Don't Shoot Manual
Doing Photography is such a blast. Adding art to your life can change your world and only one thing is required. Learn some basics of the camera and that's the technical side. Then it's time to create. Why should we consider shooting with the Manual settings. We need to learn the camera and then use the onboard features. Let the camera work with your direction and control. Try it, you'll like it.
Don't Shoot Manual & Anyting More
Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

I've always been a huge fan of Indian food, and was delighted to discover I could make curries from scratch without it being too difficult or needing too many additional ingredients to the ones I usually have in my fridge or cupboards. This Goan style curry is exceptionally speedy, in fact you could probably make it quicker than the local curry house could deliver!
Ingredients (to serve two):
Med sized sweet potato, peeled & diced into 1cm cubes
Med sized aubergine, peeled & diced into 1inch cubes
Small red onion, finely diced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1inch piece of ginger, finely grated
1/2 fresh red chilli, finely diced (or a whole one if you want it really hot)
400ml coconut milk
1 tsp tamarind paste
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
– sweat the onions and garlic in a little oil over a med heat
– add the spices, ginger, chilli and tamarind and stir well
– add the aubergine and sweet potato ensuring you coat them thoroughly
– pour over the coconut milk a little at a time
– bring to the boil then turn down to a simmer, and cook on a very low heat with the lid on for for 20-30 mins
– serve with rice & naan bread

Falls can be vastly more serious than many people realize, and many Americans end up in the emergency room every year after slipping and falling. While the accident may take place in a split second and you'll have to sort out the how and why of it afterward, it's important consider the dangerous conditions that often lead to these accidents.
-- Flooring issues: A rug could be rolled up on one side or a piece of carpet could be torn. Even just the change from one type of flooring to the next -- stepping off of carpet and onto slick tiles, for instance -- can be problematic.
-- Poor lighting: This can be an indoor and an outdoor issue. When you can't see, obstacles that may otherwise have been perfectly obvious -- like the beginning of a staircase -- can cause you to fall.
--Maintenance issues:Everything wears out, especially in high traffic areas. Common maintenance issues include broken stair treads, cracked tiles, broken or missing banisters and handrails. While some wear and tear is to be expected, hazards need to be fixed by property owners.
-- Wet floors: California may not get much in the way of ice and snow, a common slip-and-fall hazard in northern states, but wet floors can still be an issue, both indoors and out. This could be caused by the rain, by a broken pipe, by a spill, or numerous other factors.
The key thing to remember is that, no matter why a fall happened, you need to know if someone else was at fault due to his or her negligence in removing the danger. If so, you may then be able to get financial compensation.

Police were making a welfare check at a home in the 2800 block of East Second Street early Friday evening.
They say they found the child living in deplorable conditions not fit for anyone let alone a child.
Investigators say the girl lived at the home with her mother and grandmother, who said her granddaughter is loved and well cared for.
The Montgomery County Animal Resource Center removed 38 animals including dogs, cats and birds from the home. They say many of the animals were not in good physical condition..." More

Construction of Phase II of the Pangborn Airport Business Park began in June 2012 and was completed in the spring of 2014. The Port-led $2 million project included grading the 40-acre site at the southeast corner of the airport, extending Fifth Street/Campbell Parkway, and adding utilities and high-speed telecommunication lines. Selland Construction of Wenatchee was the general contractor.
The business park features 16 new lots (two‐ to three‐acres in size) which can be combined to accommodate larger needs. Two of the lots will have direct access to the airport. Tenants can build on the lots or, within certain parameters, the Port also could construct buildings for tenants. The land is zoned general industrial.
The site's attributes include its location adjacent to Pangborn Memorial Airport, the availability of low-cost power and high-speed fiber, and the fact the site is just a 30-minute drive from Interstate 90.
"We obviously believe this is the place to do business in Washington state," Port Commissioner Mark Spurgeon said.
The Pangborn Airport Business Park's first phase — about 30 acres in all — was developed in the late 1990s. The main tenants today include Executive Flight Inc., Coca-Cola Bottling and Accor Technology. Currently, there are 3 lots that are still available in this portion of the overall project area, in addition to the 16 new lots created in Phase II.
The Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) helped fund the second phase. CERB awarded the Port a $150,000 grant and loaned the agency $850,000 (20 years at 2.5 percent interest, with principal and interest deferred for first five years). The Port District also has received a $37,000 grant from the Douglas County Regional Council. The rest of the funding came through Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds the Port District issued in November of 2011.

There are multiple ways to debug a TurboGears application.
If you just want to watch the value of some objects used in your controller, you can simply add print statements which will send their output to the console while the server is running.
If you just want to break and see the values of some object, add a statement like raise ValueError(repr(some_object)). In development mode, the browser will then show a stacktrace with the Python representation of your object in the error message. If you set tg.fancy_exception = True in the global section of the project's dev.cfg config file, the stack trace will show additional information and you can examine the value of the variables at any level of the stack trace. In this case, you can add any statement like 1/0 or breakpoint (where breakpoint is an undefined name) to raise the exception. This simple solution is often completely sufficient for debugging the application and understanding possible problems.
The standard solution is using pdb which is an interactive source code debugger for Python programs that is part of the standard library. You just need to insert
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
at the point where you want to have a breakpoint. You can also use --pdb for nosetests, and of course use the above in them as well.
Some other simple methods have been suggested on our mailing list. One of them was using IPython and doing this:
from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed
dbg = IPShellEmbed()
class Root(controllers.Root):
def method(self):
dbg() # break point
The `dbg() statement this will put your server into interactive mode which can be exited with Ctrl-D.
If you want some serious debugging, Winpdb can be used. Using Winpdb, you can do all the debugging activities like stepping through the code, watching the variables etc. in a TurboGears application. The steps to follow are described below.
Wherever you need to start the debugging, e.g. in a controller method, put these lines:
import rpdb2
rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger('some_passwd', fAllowUnencrypted=True)
Then start the TurboGears application, open a browser and visit some URL that invokes the controller method. From another console prompt, start Winpdb by giving the command winpdb -t. In Winpdb, go to File -> Attach. You will be asked for a password. Type in some password and press OK. Then select the application and press OK to start debugging.
If you're using and IDE to develop your TurboGears application, you can try using the debugging facilities integrated in the IDE.
Fabio Zadrozny has written some instructions for Configuring Pydev to work with Turbogears. One problem that may occur due to the use of DecoratorTools in TurboGears has been discussed in the article Why can't the pydev debugger work with turbogears?. With current versions of Python and DecoratorTools this should not be a problem any more.
Todd Whiteman has written instructions for Debugging TurboGears with Komodo.
And on the Wingware homepage, you will find instructions on Using Wing IDE with Turbogears.
The above solutions are for debugging your server side TurboGears application. If you want to debug what's going on at the client side, get FireBug, which is an invaluable tool for debugging any web applications. It will be particularly helpful if you're using AJAX or any JavaScript on your pages.

OSWEGO — At SUNY Oswego, 19 faculty members offered a service-learning component in coursework to more than 430 students, according to a 2010-11 survey.
When Dr. Laura Brown began offering students a service learning option in an introductory gerontology course in 1998, only a couple other Oswego courses challenged students to get out in the community to apply what they were learning in class.
Courses offering such opportunities today mark programs ranging from public justice to human resource management, from communication to music. Students in those courses logged nearly 7,500 hours with organizations as diverse as the YMCA and Oswego Animal Shelter, the BOCES Migrant Education Outreach Program and Oswego Middle School, according to Alyssa Amyotte, SUNY Oswego's coordinator of service learning and community service.
The rewards of service learning are two-way and manifold, Amyotte and Brown said.
Brown remembers the joy in the face of a Japanese-American student who had visited World War II veterans in an Oswego nursing home — an encounter the young gerontology student initially had feared.
"She floated back to the classroom, she was so excited," said Brown, who has become a resource for other faculty members seeking to integrate service learning and coursework. The veterans, it seems, were grateful for the student's willing ear, and they wanted to hear about her own family's times during the war. "She said, 'I did that. I made a difference.' I said, 'Exactly.'"
Life meets learning
Dr. William Rose, a visiting assistant professor of sociology, said he valued service learning as a student and then as a teacher the past two decades. In his "Family Violence" course this semester, Rose included a service-learning project to help the students integrate learning and life.
"This is not an academic curiosity," Rose said. "It's about real people with real lives who are suffering because of their real lives — children suffering abuse, women suffering violence."
Divided into four large teams, Rose's class is making contact with Oswego-area human services agencies that deal with prevention and consequences of family violence. The students plan to conduct a service project on behalf of each partner organization.
"Class discussion is a big piece of it — the process of what they are learning along the way," Rose said. "They'll also do a reflective paper at the end. Some of that, undoubtedly, will include frustrations: people not calling back, workers too busy and too understaffed to meet with them. I'm OK with that. The reality is, these organizations don't have a lot of time and money."
Amyotte pointed out that while Rose integrates service learning and Brown offers a one-credit add-on to gerontology through a service-learning course, more delivery options exist. For example, communication majors must complete a service project for a capstone course required for graduation. Other professors encourage students to place themselves, for varying numbers of hours, with community service organizations.
In general, a service-learning course needs to include at least 20 hours of service, significant discussion and reflective writing, Amyotte said.
Students welcome
Senior psychology major Kristyn Bermingham loves her service assignment. As a requirement of Dr. David Sargent's upper-level psychology course, "Advanced Animal Learning Principles," Bermingham visits the city of Oswego's animal shelter on East Seneca Street twice a week, and walks and does rudimentary training with dogs there.
"I also have a dog," the Buffalo native said. "I'm very interested in how to properly care for dogs and train them. I enjoy doing this service."
Human services providers likewise enjoy the help from learners. Paul Gugel, director of adult and migrant education for Oswego County BOCES, said SUNY Oswego students the past six years have organized a Discover College Day for children of migrant workers hailing from Mexico, Guatemala and, more recently, Burma. "The (BOCES) students we work with primarily come from families where no one ever went to college," Gugel said. "The college visits take the mystery out of it. It makes it real for them."
SUNY Oswego has integrated service learning and community service into the curriculum and other aspects of campus life to the extent the college earned the Carnegie Foundation's Community Engagement Classification in January 2011. The college has earned a place on the Presidents' Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll since the list's inception in 2006, adding "with Distinction" in 2011.

I cannot contain my excitement when it comes to Bare in Bermuda! I've so enjoyed working with Diana at The Wild Rose Press. Although I can't give away too much at the moment, I can share the blurb. Here you are – a little peek at what is hopefully coming very soon!
Seriously devoted to her job, Dr. Henna Hirsch has strict standards for herself and for the man in her life—exactly the reason there isn't one. Everyone wants her to be more like her spontaneous and much younger sister who's marrying a man in Bermuda she's known for three months. On the way to the wedding, a mucho caliente cowboy in the airport lounge mistakes her for a prostitute, and she decides to let the moment take her where it will. Even if it's a mile high.
Wealthy Colombian widower Eduardo Salazar lost the love of his life and never expects to find love again. Until the whimsical beauty he mistook for a lady of the evening winds up on the same flight to Bermuda—and at the same hotel. Then he discovers their mutual agenda—the wedding of her sister and his son. A strong believer in destiny, he sets out to convince Henna they are meant to be.
Looking forward to what I hope will be a big cover reveal in the next few weeks. More updates to come as I have them.

It reunited a torn country and put an end to slavery. But was it a "good" war, and is there even such a thing? Host Frank Stasio talks about the morality of the Civil War with David Goldfield, the Robert Lee Bailey Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and author of "America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation" (Bloomsbury Press/2011); and Fitzhugh Brundage, the William Umstead Distinguished Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Civil War And The Dukes By Dave DeWitt • Jun 24, 2011 Duke Homestead Before the Civil War, North Carolina was a poor, agrarian state. The people who lived here were renowned for their independence. It was a quality that would serve the state well after the war. Washington Duke was a penniless, ambivalent Confederate soldier in the spring of 1865 when he was released from a Union prison in New Bern. Ahead of him was a 130 mile walk home to Durham - waiting for him there were 4 children, no wife, and a ransacked farm. Starving the South By Frank Stasio & Lindsay Foster Thomas • Jun 23, 2011 During the Civil War, the Union Army had an increasing supply of something the Confederacy lacked: food. Canning operations in the North kept the Union's bellies full while Southern soldiers faced starvation. In his new book, "Starving the South: How the North Won the Civil War" (St. Martin's Press/2011), author and culinary historian Andrew F. Smith explores the role of food in the outcome of the war. Smith joins host Frank Stasio to talk about his research and the connection between the Civil War and the industrialization of America's food supply. Whose Side is God On? By Frank Stasio & Lindsay Foster Thomas • Jun 22, 2011 America was a highly religious nation during the Civil War era and spiritual believers on both sides of the conflict turned to their faith to understand the causes and consequences of the war. The concept of divine providence - the idea that God's will was being played out on the battleground - was a common theme in the messages of preachers and political leaders of the day. For African-Americans in South, the freedom to worship came slowly and black ministers found themselves facing the exciting challenge of emancipation in different ways. Daughters of Confederate Soldiers Speak By Jessica Jones • Jun 22, 2011 Many families here in North Carolina have passed down stories about the experiences of their ancestors during the Civil War. For most people, those tales are a link to a distant past that spans generations. But for one small group of elderly women who are actually the daughters of Confederate soldiers, that history is very much a part of their own life story. The Legend of Henry Berry Lowry By Frank Stasio & Jeremy Loeb • Jun 21, 2011 www.ncmuseumofhistory.org Listen Listening... / 48:57 Host Frank Stasio talks about Lowry and his legacy with Malinda Maynor Lowery and Josephine Humphreys. Henry Berry Lowry was a Lumbee Indian sometimes described as the "Robin Hood" of Robeson County, North Carolina. But Lowry's story is much more nuanced than that. He's a hero to some, a murderer to others. All told, Lowry and his gang of outlaws were responsible for some two dozen killings as the Civil War ended and during Reconstruction. Dave Alvin's Civil War Ballad By Eric Hodge • Jun 21, 2011 Historians estimate that more than 56,000 Americans died in prison camps during the Civil War. That's a casualty figure that is far greater than any single battle. The South's most famous prison was at Andersonville in Georgia. Conditions there were horrible; the food was scarce and often rancid. Nearly 29 percent of all prisoners detained at Andersonville died before the end of the war. Singer Dave Alvin wrote a song about it after he discovered that one of his relatives died there. Meet The Civil War Battlefield By Alex Granados & Frank Stasio • Jun 20, 2011 www.nchistoricsites.org/bennett/ The Civil War was one of the bloodiest wars fought in American history. Although the North won, led bravely by President Abraham Lincoln, Union victory was never a foregone conclusion. Historian Joseph Glatthaar says Lincoln may have been a great political leader, but he didn't know much about military strategy. The president's missteps made the Civil War longer and almost caused the resignation of one of the Union's great generals. African American Legacy in New Bern By Leoneda Inge • Jun 20, 2011 Some historians refer to the Civil War as the "war between the states" – a white man's war. But to many people of color – it was the "war for freedom." And during this mighty war, no other place in North Carolina had more "free" slaves than New Bern. When the Union Army seized the city, word spread fast. Slaves travelled from across the state and outside its borders to get to New Bern. Civil War Reenactors Pay Homage to Ancestors By Jessica Jones • Jun 17, 2011 The 26th North Carolina Regiment is one of the largest Civil war reenactor groups in the country. Nearly every month the regiment travels from one historical site to the next to reenact battles and perform living history exhibits. The group is modeled after a Confederate regiment of the same name. The Homefront is the Battlefront By Frank Stasio & Susan Davis • Jun 16, 2011 Listen Listening... / 29:53 Thavolia Glymph and Laura Edwards join host Frank Stasio The Civil War is often referred to as the last war fought on American soil. Since then, we fight wars over seas and we watch the battles play out on TV or the Internet. For black and white women living in the American South, the Civil War was fought all around them, but the true enemies were poverty, hunger and despair. For those women, the battlefront was not a distant idea because the battlefront was the homefront. As part of our series, "North Carolina Voices: The Civil War," Thavolia Glymph and Laura Edwards join host Frank Stasio to discuss what life was like for women in North Carolina during the war. North Carolina Quakers During The Civil War By Frank Stasio & Susan Davis • Jun 16, 2011 Did you know that Quakers were the first organized non-native religious group in the Carolinas? In the late 1600s, the governor and assembly of North Carolina were majority Quaker. Today, the Piedmont Triad has the largest concentration of Quakers in North America. But leading up to the Civil War, Quakers left the state in droves because of their opposition to slavery. During the war, their pacifism sent them north and west to free states. Greensboro's Guilford College was first established as a boarding school in 1837 in order to maintain some Quaker presence in the state. State's Rights and the Reconstruction Amendments By Frank Stasio & Susan Davis • Jun 15, 2011 law.unc.edu The 14th Amendment may be the most hotly debated 2,000 words in American history. It was adopted on July 9, 1868 and is considered the most important of the "Reconstruction Amendments." Those amendments - the 13th, 14th and 15th - reconfigure the relationship between the states and the federal government. Among other things, they put the federal government in the position of monitoring the way states protect civil rights. Civil War Monuments Loom Large By Rose Hoban • Jun 15, 2011 Rose Hoban All over North Carolina, statues of Confederate soldiers stand sentry in front of courthouses, churches and in public squares. It was a dark and stormy night in Reidsville early on May 23rd... Black Soldiers In The Civil War By Frank Stasio & Julia Cox • Jun 14, 2011 Visualize a Civil War soldier and a sepia colored picture of a white man likely comes to mind. But thousands of African Americans in North Carolina served in the Union Army during the Civil War. They trained in the town of New Bern after its fall in March 1962. Meet Heather Williams By Alex Granados & Frank Stasio • Jun 13, 2011 history.unc.edu Heather Williams experienced racism for the first time when she moved to Brooklyn from Jamaica at 11 years old. That's when she discovered that black was considered bad in the United States, though she didn't know why. Her high school library's Black Studies section began her education in racial history. Her fascination with the subject would lead her to one day become a civil rights lawyer, and later, a teacher of history. Teaching The Civil War By Dave DeWitt • Jun 13, 2011 Dave DeWitt The first public school in North Carolina was created in 1840. Before the Civil War, those schools were reserved only for Whites. And then, four years after the war ended, the system was revived. Segregated schools were the law in the state for much of the 20th century. And as you might imagine, the Civil War was taught much differently depending on the color of the students' skin. How to Create Better Housing for People with Mental Health Disabilities By Rose Hoban • Apr 22, 2011 Rose Hoban In the last 10 years, multiple studies have concluded that housing people with mental health disabilities in adult and family care homes is not the best plan for them. Each study has recommended phasing out use of the homes and improving the system. Despite that, the number of homes has increased along with the number of adults with mental illness who live in them. Waste 2 Watts To Power Medical Devices By Rose Hoban • Jul 2, 2010 Listen Listening... / 6:54 Rose Hoban reports on some young people who hope to contribute to the future of global health. In the past, global health work tended to be limited to doctors, nurses and other health care professionals. But engineering plays a role in health care around the world. From infrastructure projects, to supporting medical equipment, engineers are becoming an essential part of the global health landscape. Durham Workers Test Condoms for Worldwide Distribution By Rose Hoban • Jul 1, 2010 Rose Hoban Listen Listening... / 4:22 Rose Hoban takes a visit to FHI's product testing lab. When people think of global health, they might picture heroic doctors or selfless nurses. But many others work behind the scenes in global health, doing work that's much less sexy, but equally essential. Some of those people work here in the Triangle in a lab that tests life-preserving and life-saving products shipped around the world. Central to their work is testing condoms for safety and effectiveness. In the next installment of our series, North Carolina Voices, Global Health Comes Home, Rose Hoban takes a visit to FHI's product testing lab. Cross-Cultural Research Provides Links to Durham By Rose Hoban • Jun 30, 2010 Rose Hoban Listen Listening... / 7:32 Rose Hoban explores how cross-cultural research can inform the process of working with people in North Carolina. Drug treatments for HIV have given new hope to patients with the virus. But the Holy Grail for researchers is finding a way to prevent HIV from being transmitted in the first place. Scientists are testing vaccines, drugs, gels that kill the virus – all without success. The only way to prevent HIV transmission – still – is to convince people to change their behavior. And that's not easy. A group of people in Durham are trying to find better methods for HIV prevention – and they're using techniques refined by researchers working in other cultures. Overseas Orphan Research Rocks the Conventional Wisdom in the US By Rose Hoban • Jun 29, 2010 Rose Hoban Listen Listening... / 7:58 Rose Hoban reports for our series, North Carolina Voices, Global Health Comes Home. When you say the word 'orphanage' what comes to mind for many people, are gloomy places of abuse and neglect, where kids are warehoused after losing family. For years, the assumption has been that foster families provide better care for kids in need than any institution could. But new research from overseas is challenging those beliefs – findings that kids in orphanages can do as well or better as kids taken into families. Now, that research is being embraced in the U S. And it's starting to influence the policy dialogue about what to do with kids who need care outside their homes.

Jessica Jones reports. North Carolina could get most of the energy it needs as a state from renewable sources including solar and wind. That's according to a report published earlier this year by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. But when it comes to producing wind energy that goes back into the grid, North Carolina is behind other states. In fact, there is only one utility-grade wind turbine in all of North Carolina. Jessica Jones reports for our series, North Carolina Voices: Tomorrow's Energy. NC Voices: Tomorrow's Energy -- Solar Power By Jessica Jones • Apr 21, 2010 NCSU/CSE Listen Listening... / 5:59 Jessica Jones reports for our series North Carolina Voices, Tomorrow's Energy. Over the last three years, North Carolina has seen exponential growth in the use of solar power- from a few panels on homeowners' roofs to heat hot water to large installations that produce energy and send it right back into the grid. Small business owners working in the industry believe what they're doing is good for the state and for the environment. But right now, their prospects are limited. Jessica Jones reports for our series North Carolina Voices: Tomorrow's Energy.

Behind the Reporting: 'Tomorrow's Energy' By Frank Stasio & Katy Barron • Apr 20, 2010 Listen Listening... / 11:37 A conversation with WUNC reporters Dave DeWitt, Leoneda Inge, Jessica Jones and Laura Leslie about what they took away from their reporting on North Carolina's energy future. If you've been tuned in to Morning Edition this past week or so, you've been hearing a series of reports about energy from WUNC's reporters. The series, "North Carolina Voices: Tomorrow's Energy," addresses where North Carolinians currently get their power and where we'll get it in the future. A lot of work goes into those six or seven-minute radio reports, which means a lot also gets left out. The melody of a coal-fired power plant and the sculptural beauty of a wind turbine are among the details of the reporting that didn't make it on the air. On today's show, we'll talk with WUNC reporters Dave DeWitt, Leoneda Inge, Jessica Jones and Laura Leslie about what they took away from their reporting and what else is left to say about powering North Carolina's future. Tomorrow's Energy: Energy Efficient By Leoneda Inge • Apr 19, 2010 Tobin Freid Listen Listening... / 5:12 Leoneda Inge has the story of how communities are working towards energy efficiency. North Carolina has topped many lists in the past few years. It's one of the fastest growing states and ranks high for its business climate. But in energy efficiency, NC is wading somewhere in the middle of the pack nationwide. Tomorrow's Energy: Campus Power By Dave DeWitt • Apr 16, 2010 Listen Listening... / 4:14 Dave DeWitt looks at how campuses are transforming to meet their future energy challenges. Universities like UNC Chapel Hill, Duke, and NC State are among the largest electricity users in the state. Some produce their own power, some buy their electricity from utility companies. And all have student bodies that are vocal in their anxiety over global warming. As part of our series North Carolina Voices: Tomorrow's Energy, Dave DeWitt looks at how campuses are transforming to meet their future energy challenges. Tomorrow's Energy: Pricing Power By Laura Leslie • Apr 15, 2010 Creative Commons/Jc3s5h Listen Listening... / 6:40 Laura Leslie reports on the complex process of pricing power. Most energy consumers know what they pay for electricity. But very few of us know why we pay what we do. Who decides what a kilowatt should cost? And how does energy policy change that?

Features May 2008
On the Alexander Hamilton Center affair at Hamilton College.
More than a half century ago, Willmoore Kendall, an unrepentant cold warrior and one of this country's most brilliantly original political theorists, spoke at Harvard about disturbing trends in academic culture. To those preaching that a college campus should be an expansive site for the toleration of virtually every sort of idea and behavior, he had no patience. "The university," he declared,
exists only by virtue of a faith that human beings are worthy of special attention; that the development of the human intellect is an end in itself; that the exercise of memory and reason is not a perversion of the nervous system; and that the scholar is somehow superior to the fool—all of them propositions that admit of no scientific proof; propositions that must, in fact, be maintained despite clear and cogent evidence that untroubled happiness is reserved for morons.

New Delhi: Claiming that it found several antibiotic residues in chickens tested in Delhi-NCR region, an environment body Wednesday said "large-scale and indiscriminate" use of antibiotics in poultry industry might be "strongly linked" to growing antibiotic resistance in Indians.
The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) also sought implementation of a comprehensive set of regulations including banning of antibiotic use as growth promoters in the poultry industry as it puts lives of people at risk.
It said that 70 chicken samples from Delhi-NCR region were tested for six commonly used antibiotics during a recent study. While 40 per cent tested positive, residues of more than one antibiotic were found in 17 per cent samples.
"Indians are developing resistance to antibiotics and hence falling prey to a host of otherwise curable ailments. Some of this resistance might be due to large-scale unregulated use of antibiotics in the poultry industry," CSE said.
The New Delhi-based research and advocacy think-tank said that antibiotics which are important to treat diseases in humans, like ciprofloxacin, are being rampantly used by the industry. This is leading to increased cases of antibiotic resistance in India.
"Antibiotics are no more restricted to humans nor limited to treating diseases. The poultry industry uses antibiotics as a growth promoter. Chickens are fed antibiotics so that they gain weight and grow faster," said Sunita Narain, Director General while releasing the study conducted by CSE's Pollution Monitoring Laboratory (PML).
The CSE said that India has no regulation on controlling antibiotic use in the poultry industry or to control sales of antibiotics to the industry while it has not set any limits for antibiotic residues in chicken.
Giving details, CSE said that PML tested 70 samples of chicken in Delhi and NCR out of which 36 samples were picked from Delhi, 12 from Noida, eight from Gurgaon and seven each from Faridabad and Ghaziabad.
Three tissues muscle, liver and kidney were tested for the presence of six antibiotics widely used in poultry - oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and doxycycline (class tetracyclines), enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin (class fluoroquinolones) and neomycin, an aminoglycoside.
"Residues of five of the six antibiotics were found in all the three tissues of the chicken samples. They were in the range of 3.37-131.75 g/kg. Of the 40 per cent samples found tainted with antibiotic residues, 22.9 per cent contained residues of only one antibiotic while the remaining 17.1 per cent samples had residues of more than one antibiotic, the study said.
"Public health experts have long suspected that such rampant use of antibiotics in animals could be a reason for increasing antibiotic resistance in India," said Chandra Bhushan, CSE's deputy director general.
"But the government has no data on the use of antibiotics in the country, let alone on the prevalence of antibiotic resistance. Our study proves the rampant use and also shows that this can be strongly linked to growing antibiotic resistance in humans in India," he added.
Explaining the fallout of this, CSE officials said that large-scale misuse and overuse of antibiotics in poultry industry is leading to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the chicken itself.
These bacteria are then transmitted to humans through food or environment. Additionally, eating small doses of antibiotics through chicken can also lead to development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans, the study said.
It said that in India, there is growing evidence that resistance to fluoroquinolones such as ciprofloxacin is rapidly increasing.
Treating fatal diseases like sepsis, pneumonia and tuberculosis (TB) with fluoroquinolones is becoming tough because microbes that cause these diseases are increasingly becoming resistant to fluoroquinolones, the study said.
CSE researchers point out that antibiotics are frequently pumped into chicken during its life cycle of 35-42 days. They are occasionally given as a drug to treat infections regularly mixed with feed to promote growth and routinely administered to all birds for several days to prevent infections.
"Our study is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more antibiotics that are rampantly used that the lab has not tested," Bhushan said.
The CSE also recommended banning the use of antibiotics as growth promoters and for mass disease prevention, not allowing antibiotics critical for humans in poultry industry, not using antibiotics as a feed additive, regulation of poultry feed industry by the government and not selling unlicensed and unlabelled antibiotics in market among others.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. 1 4 To Xlr Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. 1 4 To Xlr Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. 1 4 To Xlr Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

He Was Taking Photos Of The Starlings… And Then They Started To Do Something Very Unusual.
Warning: Do not start to watch this video unless you have about 20 minutes to spare. Sure, the video is only about two minutes long: The trouble is, you're going to want to watch it over, over, and over again. The best way to describe it? It's as mesmerizing as a lava lamp, except it's a lava lamp made of birds .
If you've carved out some time for yourself, check out the amazing video below.
Starlings are known for flying through the sky in some strange, unspoken communication with one another, creating endless contorted mysterious shapes and swirls. They fly together in huge throngs, as in this video, where the person filming captured them moving from power line to power line. Here's how he described it on his Youtube page:
Often they move from one line to another ... taking off when a second group arrives. Sometimes it looks like a row of dominoes ... one flight triggering the bird next in line. Here it is clear to see the original take off is not sequential, but [instead] appears to be crowd reactive.
Just another example of the world's magic at play.
Next, check out these birds on a wire set to music and one of the most incredible murmurations ever recorded.

The project is called CAAT
From their site:
I'm going to add in the fact that the project looks very professional, and extremely useful. The examples that are provided are very simple in context, and that is a good thing.
CAAT in essence is a multi-instance director-based Scene graph manager.
It is multi-instance in the sense that you can set an undefined number of directors up for each web page.
Each director is able to manage different Scenes with different timelines.
The scenes contain a graph of different Actor and Containers which conform the animation elements.CAAT has some features out-of-the-box among which we can highlight:
- Seamless zero-coding WebGL and CSS rendering engines.
- Unlimited number of Scenes per Director.
- Unlimited number of Actors and ActorContainers per Scene.
- Hierarchycally applied affine transformations (rotations, scales and translations).
- Hierarchycally applied alpha composition.
- Unlimited number of timers per Scene.
- Ability to define complex paths for translations applied to Actors and ActorContainers.
- Easing and interpolation functions for affine transformations and alpha transparency application.
- Homogeneous coordinate system. Each contained Actor will receive correct input coordinates on its coordinate system
regardless of its parents applied transformations.
- Abstracted input system, from mouse events to keyboard and accelerometer.
- Resource management and preloading.
- Many types of actors supported: Sprites, Shapes, Text, Path, Interpolator, etc.
- Easily extendable framework.
- Open Source and MIT Licensed.
- Performs properly in all major canvas enabled browsers. Internet explorer must be version 9 or greater.
One of the many building blocks we need for online multiplayer games is a good solid and easy scene graph implementation. It is one thing drawing 1000 sprites, it is a whole other thing for your game to know it only has to draw 100 of that 1000 to achieve the same results, but much better frame rates. Or trying to propagate matrix multiplications down an unlinked chain of objects, it's like trying to hammer in a nail with your forehead without a scene graph.
CAAT looks like something we'll be exploring in the future on here.

Rumors and Whispers of the FlanaessMysterious Placesby Creighton Broadhurst
Tall tales, unlikely rumours and idle gossip swirls throughout the taprooms, marketplaces and temple precincts of the Flanaess. Separating truth from foolish speculation, downright lies and the ill-informed ramblings of drunks, yokels and rumourmongers attempting to separate a fool from his coin is an essential skill for any adventurer travelling the Flanaess.
The veracity of many of the rumours detailed below is certainly in doubt. While in many cases the truth of the matter is impossible to determine, these are the kind of rumours that that adventurers will inevitably come to hear. Some may foreshadow events detailed in as yet unreleased core or core special adventures, while others may hold as much weight as a summer breeze. DMs are encouraged to use the below rumours as fillers in any encounter in which the PCs could learn about supposed events.
The archmage Tenser has once again been seen abroad in the Central Flanaess. It is thought that the archmage–slain by the perfidious Rary but since returned to life–is bent on retrieving several caches of spellbooks and magical items secreted about the Flanaess against a time of great need. Tenser has publicly stated that he does not wish to rejoin the Circle of Eight and that he finds its ethos of balance mutually exclusive with his belief in the forces of law and goodness.
Rumours of hitherto unknown burial cairns discovered in the environs of the Free City of Greyhawk are once again causing an influx of adventurers to the Free City. For long years little of import was uncovered in the Free City's environs, and these latest discoveries are greeted with much enthusiasm by adventurers and other daring (or avaricious) individuals.
High up in the Corusk Mountains east of the Schnai city of Knudje can be found the so-called Hanging Glacier of Alisedran. First described in the travelogue On Sledge and Horseback to the Barbarians of the North the glacier is thought to be far older. Dread stories handed down from the time before the Great Migrations speak of this place. The few explorers who have survived the terrors of the Corusks to find the glacier speak in awe of a huge glacier tumbling over an impossibly high and sheer cliff. Vast chunks of ice hover above the river far below seemingly frozen in midair by some magical force. The glacier is also thought to be the nexus from which in some way a veritable horde of monsters rampage out of the mountains in twenty-year cycles. These monsters invariably cause much damage to the settlements of the Schnai before the doughty barbarian warriors slay or drive off the invaders. 596 heralds the beginning of another cycle and the Jarls of the Schnai are known to be looking for brave adventurers to eradiate this threat.
The City of Hardby–the so-called Scorned City–is suffering some extremely unseasonable weather. Temperatures are soaring and with it tempers fray and industry grinds to a halt. Coupled with this great heat comes an increased number of fires within the precinct of the city. While most have been small and easily contained a few have resulted in the death of several citizens. Some whisper that Hardby is cursed, or that some demon-worshipping cult is behind it all. Others believe that the infamous Traitor is behind the terrible heat-wave. They whisper that he uses it as a lever to gain political control over the city.
Tales of desperate battles beneath the dusty peaks of the Abbor-Alz against dark dwarves and the discovery of an alliance between the duergar's mysterious leader and the Monarch of the Bright Lands have caused much consternation in the taprooms and alehouses of the Central Flanaess. Exact details of the pact are unclear but surrounding nations are bound to view this development with no little trepidation. Secure in his desert fastness many label Rary as one of the greatest, and most dangerous, powers of evil currently active in the Flanaess.
The ruins of another mountain city were found in the depths of the Rakers. Seemingly similar in construct to the great ruins at Tostenhca this city is far more remote than its better known sibling. Of particular interest to adventurers are the accounts of a vast quantity of precious gemstones and metals still said to adorn the city's temples and palaces. Such a wealth of treasure could greatly benefit many, not least Tenh's new duke who still battles to restore his beleaguered nation.
The orcs of the Pomarj seem once again to be preparing for war. Adventurers returning from daring raids deep inside this malign realm report tribes massing for battle and the movement of large bodies of troops. Coupled with this rumours speak of the clandestine return of Jedurek, one of Turrosh Mac's most capable war captains. Drow have also been spotted in Highport; what this development portends is surely ill.

Godzilla VS Cthulhu Or Invincible Nuclear Dinosaur VS Sleeping Dead God
Making the Superman VS Son Goku article was a huge mistake. Its existence and its speculative possibilities (as well as the hours of dick-waving among me and my friends) have burned a hole inside my brain the size of a walnut, that keeps asking me 'Hey man, know what else would be awesome?
Writing another long-ass article about two unrelated super powerful beings punching the fuck out of each other!"

Friday Favorites/
Despite the impending rain in Central Kentucky this weekend, we are looking forward to this weekend! We have an indulgent afternoon of massages and belated birthday dessert planned. After a really hectic workweek, we can't think of a better way to pass the time!
- I've been jealous of my friends who live in warmer areas because they have been enjoying strawberry season for a couple of weeks now. I'm so excited that it is almost that time here in Kentucky. Last year, the crop of local strawberries didn't seem as good as normal and only lasted about a week, and I didn't get a chance to make strawberry jam. This year, I've got my jars, pectin, and recipe ready to go! I've made freezer jam in the past, which is good, but this year, I'm going to try this recipe.
- Of course! A man cheats on his wife and takes her punishment recipe to make money! I hope you enjoy reading a little history behind the famed Prince's Hot Chicken as much as I did.
- How to Get S*** Done Even When You're Totally Unmotivated - I needed this swift kick in the pants this week, and I've limited myself to 15 minutes of social media per day until I tackle a project I've been dragging my feet to complete.
- I've been having a hard time getting motivated to go to the gym after work. It seems by the time I get home, complete my workout, and cook dinner, it's already time to go to bed! To fix this, I've been strongly considering moving my workouts to my lunch hour. Thank goodness for Soda and Lime for giving me the perfect tips to make this schedule change a reality.

2016 Triumph Thruxton Ace Review
2016 Triumph Thruxton Ace on www.Totalmotorcycle.com
The Thruxton is born of the café racer culture that dominated motorcycling in the 1960s…
It was the London truckers' café that became a favourite haunt of Britain's bikers and a powerful symbol of post-war counterculture. The Ace Cafe gained notoriety as the biker hang out in the early 60's and formed an instrumental piece of the café racer culture of the era.
The new Thruxton Ace celebrates the rich association of Triumph's history with the Ace Café.
It was the London truckers' cafe that became a favourite haunt of Britain's bikers and a powerful symbol of post-war counterculture. The Ace Cafe gained notoriety as the biker hang-out in the early 60's and formed an instrumental piece of the cafe racer culture of the era. The new Thruxton Ace celebrates the rich association of Triumph's history with the Ace Cafe.
The Thruxton Ace combines the evocative silhouette of a true Triumph classic racer, with a fabulous one-off Pure White and Jet Black paint livery reflecting Triumph's long historical connection with the Ace Cafe. The bike is tastefully co-branded with Ace Cafe logos adorning the side panels, tank and tail section.
With low slung handlebars, alloy-rimmed wire wheels and dominating central racing stripe running along the tank to the beautifully sculpted custom seat, the Triumph Thruxton Ace looks as ready to take pole position on a classic race grid as much as sit purposefully outside the local cafe after a spirited morning ride.
Featuring the same engine as the renowned Triumph Thruxton, power is provided by Triumph's signature charismatic parallel twin from the Bonneville. Producing peak power of 69PS and 69Nm of torque across a broad rev range, the Thruxton delivers its performance with a suitable increase in the edginess of the exhaust note form the classically styled chrome silencers.
The Truxton's chassis is based around the Bonneville, and meets Triumph's exacting standards by generating an assured, composed, yet agile ride at all times. Its steel tube frame, 41mm KYB forks, twin KYB rear shocks, Nissin disc brakes and wire spokes on lightweight aluminium rims running the latest radial tyres combine with sporting steering geometry to give the Thruxton Ace performance to match the engine's character and riding position.
The Thruxton Ace. An everyday icon.

2016 Triumph Thruxton Ace www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
We created a style for the Thruxton Ace Cafe SE that echoes the 1960s café racers. Back then, machines were modified by their owners for higher speeds and sharper handling.
We used classic 1960s paint schemes with period sports stripes and fitted a typical single-seat, or so it looks thanks to the rear cover. In actual fact a passenger can enjoy the ride on a Thruxton Ace Cafe SE too.
Low and narrow 'Ace' handlebars, named after London's famous Ace Café, with classic bar-end mirrors sit behind a colour-coded flyscreen.
Twin instrument pods sitting high on their top yoke mounting position.
You get the same iconic, air-cooled parallel twin that sits proudly at the heart of the Bonneville. Setting the 60s style for the entire bike.
The engine and transmission has been engineered with the look of the classic Triumph twins in mind. Even the fuel injection has been moulded so you get the appearance of a pair of carburettors. And there are double overhead camshafts despite what looks like a pushrod tube at the front of the engine, just like the café racers of the 60s used to have.
The café racers were built to perform, not just to look good.
Today, this 865cc parallel twin puts out a healthy 69PS with 69Nm of torque at its peak, with plenty available at low revs so you get most use out of it.
Fuelling is controlled by a sophisticated computer programmed management system for clean emissions and a smooth, predictable throttle response.
The basic format is the same as the current Bonneville, with 360 degree firing intervals, double overhead cams, eight valves, twin balance shafts and fuel injection. So you know it's a thoroughly modern engine that, despite its convincing old-school looks, easily meeting Triumph's high standard of reliability, durability and efficiency.
It's the sound and feel of the engine that matters, from the thumping thrust of the generous low rev torque to the eager high revs and the purring, even exhaust note. So distinctive to the parallel twin.
All of our extensive chassis experience and technology has gone into the Thruxton Ace Cafe SE's simple tubular steel construction. Providing easy, neutral steering and exceptional balance even at low speeds.
We fitted 41mm forks and chromed rear shocks and retuned them for a firmer ride and tighter control in high speed corners. The shocks include adjustability for spring preload for carrying a passenger or to suit your riding style.
We fitted the front with a big 320mm single disc strong enough to match the sporting pedigree of the Thruxton Ace Cafe SE with plenty of feedback to enhance your ride. Yet we've made it as unobtrusive as possible within the 1960s styling.
At the rear is another disc, so there's no compromise in the Thruxton Ace Cafe SE's thoroughly modern braking performance.
Wheels and Tyres
The wheels are wire-spoked with aluminium alloy rims, 18 inches at the front and 17 inches rear for the classic café racer look. They're lightweight too, for increased suspension performance and handling agility.
We kept the geometry similar to the Bonneville's but with a little less trail at 97mm so you get sharper steering and more urgent handling when ridden hard. But the same neutral, obedient feel during less exuberant riding, making the Thruxton Ace Cafe SE a rewarding as well as an easy bike to ride.
Riding Position
Pure 1960s café racer but not at the expense of comfort, that's what the Thruxton Ace Cafe SE is all about. So there's a sporty forward lean that makes you look the part. The footrests have been raised and set back to complement the bar position, so you are close to the bike and can really feel how the front end is performing.
We've positioned the bar end mirrors to work best when you are tucked down and forward, providing a good view of the road behind around elbows and body.
But none of this is so extreme that it spoils the feeling of versatility. You can still tour or commute on the Thruxton Ace Cafe SE as well as take it for a sunny Sunday burn.
