If you are a home gardener you can make an effective pesticide by steeping a pack of cigarettes in a mason jar full of tap water. Nicotine is that deadly! And if you're a cheap soul you can pick up stray butts off the sidewalk or rob ashtrays to make your bootleg pesticide almost for free. But for farms such home brew pesticides aren't cost effective to produce or legal to use. Let me tell you how pesticides work- legally, that is- and explain the role they play on our farm.
There are "conventional," synthetic, chemically based pesticides, and there are "organic" pesticides derived from botanic or mineral substances, but they are all toxic; that's the point! It would be more accurate to "re-brand" pesticides as "biocides," since they don't just kill pests, but also beneficial, innocuous, and innocent life forms with the bad luck to be in the path of a spray rig. You and I are closely related biologically to the organisms that plague our crops and thus vulnerable to the same poisons. Our government, as the putative guarantor of the health and safety of our shared environment, naturally takes measures to direct the use of pesticides, both conventional and organic, so that they are used in such a way as to not endanger the health of the industries that manufacture them, the vendors who sell them, the workers who apply them, the consumers who eat the crops to which they are applied, or the birds and animals (including humans) that drink the water that might be contaminated with them.
True, Joe or Jane Home Owner can go to the hardware store, buy pesticide in a little jar, ignore the instructions, and use twice as much as the label calls for because "more is better" and "bugs are icky." They can apply the pesticides to any plant they choose, no matter whether the pesticide has been registered for that crop or not, and then they can dump the leftovers down the sink to contaminate our ground water because who's checking? But farmers need to behave more professionally. Pesticides are, after all, deadly and very expensive. And there are rules.
Nobody can buy pesticides in commercial quantities for use on a farm without possessing a numbered pesticide use permit. These permits are granted to the grower only after the grower has passed a written test on how the pesticides can and should be applied. Before purchasing pesticides the grower must present the pesticide dealer with the valid permit. The pesticide vendor must record each purchase of each pesticide by each pesticide use permit holder and keep those sales records on file in case the county should see fit to inspect either the grower or the vendor. When a grower's pesticide use permit expires the vendor can not sell any more pesticide to them until they have a new, valid permit on file. Obviously, such strict regulations on the sale of pesticides has produced a brisk black market for stolen agricultural chemicals, but that is another topic for another day.
When a grower has their inventory of legally acquired pesticides in hand and reason to use them there are more procedures to follow. All applications of pesticides, organic or conventional, must be noted on a pesticide use report that must be turned into the county agricultural department each month. The reports must include the following information; name of applicator, legal description of the lot of land where the pesticide was applied, the crop it was applied to, the quantity and concentration of the material applied, the time of day it was applied, the target of the application, and the vendor from whom the pesticide was obtained. Theoretically, if a consumer dropped dead or got sick from eating tainted food, once the inspectors knew which farm the poisoned produce had come from they'd be able to cross reference the information on the use reports from the farm with the sales records from the pesticide dealers to see why and how the problem occurred, determine if any laws had been broken, and fix liability so that the insurance companies could work it all out.
From a grower's point of view it's not enough to simply spray poison if there is a pest infestation; the sprays must be effective! Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of pesticides; systemic and contact poisons. Systemic poisons are sprayed on the foliage of a plant and the plant takes the toxin into its tissue; then, when a bug eats the plant, it becomes poisoned, and it dies. And there are contact pesticides which must physically touch or coat the pest in order to kill it. Pesticides are best applied at the crack of dawn when the air is still so that there is no drift which might carry the expensive sprays away from the target crop. And, to be effective, pesticides must be applied when the pest population is at a critical limit. Fields must be monitored by people who know what to look for. Prophylactic spraying is a poor use of resources; human, chemical, financial, or otherwise.
My problem with pesticides began over 10 years ago. I wanted to use Safer soap against aphids on kale. Safer soap is an approved organic pesticide that acts as a detergent and melts the waxy coating on an aphid's body so that the aphid dies from exposure. Safer soap is a soap and can actually be used as hand soap if you wanted to waste your money- it's that safe. Safer soap is also a "spreader-sticker agent;" that is, it is often mixed with other, potentially deadly organic or synthetic pesticides to "spread" out the mix economically and create a cocktail that "sticks" more to the pest. Like all pesticides, Safer soap is a controlled substance, so unless I passed the test to update my pesticide use permit I couldn't buy the material. The woman at the ag office gave me a bunch of reading material to review before taking the test. There was lots of information to memorize about chemical pesticides which I didn't plan to use. I didn't get into farming because I was good at chemistry. Nor, once I graduated from college with my degree in the history of Western Philosophy, did I have any excitement left in my blood for studying stuff that I find irrelevant or that isn't entertaining.
So I didn't study, I didn't take the test, I didn't get a pesticide use permit, and I didn't spray the aphids on the kale. I didn't have a bad aphid problem, and besides, I had a lot of other stuff to contend with at the time. But the woman at the ag office took the opportunity to call me up, reprimand me, and tell me that if I didn't trot my tootsie into her office and take the test forthwith I'd have a late fee applied. That did it. Maybe, in her own petty, resentful, graceless, bureaucratic way, she was trying to be nice and save me some money, but I took the interaction as a chewing out from a bored, entitled, public employee who thought she had something over me and was whiling away the hours until retirement. So I took her call as a challenge to do absolutely nothing.
A year passed.
The ag office called up again and reminded me I hadn't renewed my pesticide use permit. I thought about the issue for some time. Yes, I'd lost some crops to pests over the past year, but how much money had I lost? It costs money to buy pesticide; even organic pesticide. (And I don't smoke.) It costs money to apply pesticide. It costs money to effectively monitor the fields so that pesticide applications are not in vain. Accurate record keeping costs money, as does going down to the County and filing the use reports. The spray equipment costs money. The labor to spray is expensive. Plus, I don't want to spray pesticide. The consumer worries about a toxic residue on their food but the person doing the spraying is potentially exposed to very high concentrations of the undiluted poison. And I don't want the responsibility for the well being of my workers who would be spraying on my karmic spreadsheet either, some of whom I know to be too macho to wear masks, and others of whom can't read the warning labels. Effective pesticide use training costs money. And I grow so many crops on such a small scale that the requisite close monitoring of pest populations for optimum control is difficult. For a farm operation of my size there's no economy of scale. I decided to see if I could continue to survive as a business growing produce without any pesticide; organic, conventional, or bootleg.
Instead, I redoubled my efforts to create a sustainable farms cape that relies on beneficial insects to control tolerable levels of pest insects. I let the bushes at the edge of the field mature into hedgerows that harbor the birds that eat insects. I eliminated every crop from my planting program that seemed weak or especially susceptible to insect or fungal pests. And I lost crops. In fact, last week I lost the crop of Genovese basil I had planned to harvest this week to a fungus. I'm sad about the loss of money and I regret the loss of the basil. Luckily, I noticed that the row of Napolitano basil I had planted next to the Genovese basil seemed relatively unscathed. Tomorrow I plant 5000 Napolitano basil plants hoping to have a healthy crop of basil in time for our main crop of tomatoes.
Maybe the woman at the county office gets the last laugh and I go out of business before she retires because I can't control my pests. But I'm an idealist, and as I push my way through middle age I've come to doubt the validity of concepts of control that underlie conventional pest management. I believe that there's a balance in nature and that if I can create a farmscape that attracts beneficial insects and birds to keep the pest populations within tolerable limits then I can also attract the consumers who will pay to support my farming practices. I'm sorry about the basil. I appreciate your patience and support.

To address the most pertinent challenges of the age, including climate change, sustainable development and management of natural resources, we need to model the whole Earth as an integrated system (whole Earth system science). This can be done by bringing together climate, ecological, hydrological, hydrogeological, geological and socio-economic models, along with others, to provide the necessary framework for evidence-based prediction and planning.
The project will bring together geoscience and other environmental models to help fully understand the subsurface. A scoping study has been completed and DREAM started its project stage in 2010.
One of the key objectives will be to develop an environmental modelling platform comprising methodologies, standards and software to facilitate the linking together of existing environmental models in order to gain a more complete understanding of the environment and the processes that occur within it. BGS will seek to lead and facilitate the development of a research community focused on the development of the Environmental Modelling platform. Research collaborations will also assist in attracting external funding to the project.
The creation of software tools will allow the output from linked models to be visualised easily and utilised in decision support systems. The project will also promote the development of important underpinning concepts, such as a semantic framework for the geosciences, to allow data to be interchanged between different modelling environments.
Read more about the DREAM Project in the project scoping study or the DREAM Concept Note.

A Brief Analysis of the Millennial Kingdom
The Bible reveals two aspects of God's rule over His creation. The first is His universal rule in which He sovereignly decrees whatsoever comes to pass and "works all things after the counsel of His will" (Eph. 1:11). The second is God's earthly rule in which He governs through a human mediatorial administrator. The first account of such a rule is found in Genesis where the Lord assigned Adam and Eve to rule over the whole world (Gen. 1:26-28). Continue reading

Give Me Some Djinn With That Tonic
Woot! Woot! Woot! I get to give you a sneak peak of the the upcoming SOM group gift from Djinn & Tonic Home. The fully furnished cottage is so packed full of details, you will only be seeing a bit -- even though I went into overload with my camera. At 225 prims complete, it may not fit into your prim budget, but wait! Many of the accessory groups come separately, so you can add your favorites to your existing house. Another option would be to use the house and a few of the furnishings. There ARE choices and there is always tomorrow when you might be prim rich.
And for those of you with prims to spare, there are a few corners left for your favorite goodies. The house comes complete with a decorated loft bed - lounging area. There are poses on each end of the platform as well as a really cute one that has you laying on the support beam.
Diesel Works. I LOVE THESE!!!! This is by far my favorite set. They are fun and carefree and different. I didn't even make it though the whole collection - LOL, I took so many photos as I tried out poses. My comfy unisex hanging at home outfit is from - funkstar - and my new Bo Derek locks are from Alli&Ali (XStreet Dollarbie).
This Count the Hours cottage is all about color and personal expression. It will be available to the Djinn & Tonic subscribo group at 10PM SLT on August 1, 2010. Join the group to receive it - if you happen to miss the distribution, it will be available at the .44 Caliber Mainstore for purchase.
Go forth. Have fun. And ALWAYS celebrate the eclectic!

Fast - Easy - Fun and Free
Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies
So many great things on the feeds this morning! Yeah! It seems like both bloggers and creators have reinvented themselves a bit. Change is frequently difficult but oftentimes needed. I am in there with the changes - new direction folks. And in some ways I am getting back to my roots. Hence this post featuring freebies. I know I have been lazy recently, but I have been out exploring this week -- hopping over to Midnight board calls and finding new locales; all with an eye toward those pretty pictures.
I didn't get a lot of perusing in this morning before I came on this fun post. I zipped over to BOOM to pick up the tube top and while I was there I found a free pencil and pen set nearby. Note that the pencil would work better -- I am sure -- if I actually had bigger boobs *wink*. Find both on the right hand wall by the black grab bags. My skin is one of two that I picked up last night from the Midnight Boards at F'd Up. I found two new skins on the Midnight Boards this morning and there are three lucky boards to check in the same inner room.
I am very impressed with these free jeans from Ivanka Akina. They are part of a big pack from the freebie wall at the TP point. Two other similar styles of jeans are included as well as prim parts. The top from the set is cute too. Upstairs there are some pretty looking summer tops, and there is a new group gift (currently worn by a model there) if you are in the joining mood. According to the message when you TP in, there will be (perhaps has been) a new group outfit to find each week.
That's my freebie news of the day.

Hunting and Gathering for August
Posted by Chic Aeon in hunts on Friday, July 30, 2010
According to Eingestellt von Schnaeppchen there are more than an alphabet's worth of grid-wide hunts starting in August. Wow! The former "show us the hunt goodies" site will no longer be blogging hunts, this according to an earlier post, so it will be up to other bloggers to do their own legwork. This gives the NEW kids on the block a huge opportunity to shine.
In the olden days (which could be merely months in SL) bloggers did the hunts and blogged their favorites. I put in plenty of hunt hours in the past. I hope to do two or three hunts in August. How far I get will depend on how difficult it is to find the hunt items -- I am not a look for an hour type gal. Also, near the top of my stick to it list, is the ability to bypass a hunt locale where I can't find the prize. And of course, we all want things that we would like to keep.
Additional hunt news on August's scene is a shift to group and pay hunts. Now there have been dollarbie hunts in the past as well as "buy a hud to hunt" gridwides; there may even have been hunts just like we are seeing in August, but if so -- I missed them.
So, newish themes in the mix are pay per item hunts which include The Platinum Hunt (which I mentioned earlier this week), a $10 hunt and the Rad Minds Inc. Hunt which appears to be a smallish $20 hunt. My instincts tell me that $20 is too high for a grab bag you have to hunt for *wink*, but if there is enough press and Flickr promotion with photos, it may work well. I hope to be showing you some items from The Platinum Hunt; at least I sent in my application *wink*.
The second shift in the gridwide hunt scene can be noticed in the Gother Than Thou Hunt which is a SL Group Hunt. This idea intrigued me, so I joined the group on rumor that it might be closed before the hunt. I forgot who posted that, but thank you whoever you are. The Thrifty Goth group is QUITE an adventure. They are a very, very chatty bunch. So be prepared for constant IMs going on. I'm actually liking it and I've TPed over to a couple of Midnight Mania boards today, so you may see me in black and pale soon.
The last hunt on my personal August list is the Sl House and Garden Hunt. It begins August 1, so it is the first for me. Happily, hunts are being staggered, so that helps some. The SLHGH is only for a week.
That's my heads up hunt report as we head into August.
Changing Light
I've become obsessed with light. Not a bad thing really. No calories are involved; little chance of heartbreak.
I went over to Diva to pick up the 5000 member group gift (eight colors of hair, with and without bangs) and fell in love with the environment. So much to see, so many lovely photo opportunities. Unlike some locales, the village seemed to look good in all kinds of light.
Shade Fantasy Outfitters, the maker of the garden cart in the background. There I found some outstanding meadow grass as well as a darling shabby greenhouse. So much to see, there are lots of 1 prim plants with both sound and particles options.
With landmarks safely in my inventory, I'm heading back in to RLLand. For the photographers out there, all pictures were taken in "natural" (default) Windlight settings :D.
My lovely skin is the newest release in the Gina series by Tuli. Find it at The Dressing Room for the next two weeks.

Pastel Dawn
Posted by Chic Aeon in shopping on Thursday, July 29, 2010
Now and then the light fills the sky with mysterious pastels. Are they real or imagined? There is no need to decide. Either way we can gaze in wonder at the breathtaking softness of the early morn.
While I am no longer an official Monday Mania blogger, this cute set came my way just as I was putting together a new photo shoot. How could I resist adding it into the mix?
From the notecard:
Cool retro modern livingroom set with a vibrant disco style pattern. The sofa is loaded with poses for 1-4 avatars including 6 new couples cuddles, just touch the sofa to access the sit menu. The two chairs offer 4 adjustable sit poses. The Acrylic flower lamp has a touch on/off function. Also included are an acrylic coffee table and complimenting carpet. Pieces are not linked together. This is a transferrable item. 31 prims all together.
Find it this Monday at Zen Builds.
Psst! It's really inexpensive.

Mimmi - Just One Shot
Posted by Chic Aeon in shopping on Monday, July 26, 2010
Alienbear's Designs and Bliss Couture have teamed up in a new release Mimmi Series.
It makes me smile really, lots of events that could be looked at as problems led me back to the Rouge Forrest for this photo. It really doesn't matter how I found myself in ONLY teal jewelry. In the end this is a much better photo than I would have taken if things had gone as planned.
Honestly? This is all you really need to be wearing -- if you are daring enough.
The jewelry set options are enormous with many styles of earrings and two styles of necklaces. The crown comes in two parts with a hud. You can see photos of the matching gown at Vanessinha's blog. A rainbow of color choices vie for your lindens.
More photos of the jewelry including some pieces I didn't show can be seen here.

Olympus - Just One Shot
Are we having fun yet? Well I am. I hadn't planned a new format, but I so enjoyed the process of getting it all in one shot earlier in the day, that I am continuing the experiment. Not all posts will be "Just One Shot", but let's get real here, as bloggers some of us tend toward narcissism -- in great quantities. I really love the extra challenge of getting the "great" shot, and this one wasn't easy. No rezzing allowed in this sim. The photographers out there in the audience can see the inherent difficulties *wink*.
Olympus is the new release; a unisex jacket, it comes in various styles and colors. You can wear with or without the tee shirt (all on one jacket layer). A slightly sloppy version with the tee shirt tails hanging out is my favorite. You can just barely see the edge of the shirt; it continues its asymmetrical dipping over my cute little "bum" as my surrogate mom used to call it.
There are plenty of fun details including a "F" shaped zipper tab, some raglan sleeve seam contrasting accent colors, and a really nice touch-resize collar. The sets include not only the different styles, but different versions for guys and gals. The band width and shading seem to be the main differences, but my rezzing capability is anything but speedy this eve, so there may be other changes that aren't registering in my short term memory.
You can find all the different colors at funkstar!

Silence - Just One Shot
I took a return trip over to Potter's Field (SLURL - Previous Blog Post) this afternoon. Sienia Trevellion sent me the lovely Silence outfit that I had admired. A wonderful gift and an outstanding photo op locale -- how could I NOT take a picture. There was no way that I could improve on the post from Kyrie, but I could attempt to make the set my own *wink*. So here is another look at Silence from Lark, taken not far from the vendor amidst the memories of the cemetery.

Posted by Chic Aeon in freebies, MALE FASHION on Saturday, July 24, 2010
I love unisex clothes. They are definitely my style -- or one of them anyway. Chav hasn't been out and about for awhile, so when I read about a new store called Funkstar, I sent him over. The small shop is just down the hill from Iren in a picturesque valley village worth exploring.
This unisex tee shirt is a group gift in the shop. I don't usually join groups to "get stuff", but i really wanted to see if the quality of the goods matched the photos. And I am happy to report the shirt is wonderfully made. Many of those odd little errors that sometimes appear like sleeve seams doing weird things in the back are missing. Yeah! The shirt comes on various layers and can be tucked in. It works just as nicely for gals.
It's been fun getting out and about and seeing some NEW things today.

Potter's Field
Potter's Field opened today. Not a lot of fanfare, I was drawn to visit by a beautiful shot of a Lark mourning dress from Kyrie Source -- a stunning photoblog. I am a giant proponent of fashion venues with theme and style and Potter's Field definitely qualifies. It is a small display; there aren't hundreds of designers there. What it lacks in quantity -- not a big draw for me personally anyway -- it makes up for in depth of experience.
The goods for sale are artfully presented with space between the offerings. A path leads through the cemetery. Darkness and peacefulness reign.
Detours are part of life, and I found myself exploring the richly detailed diner at the landing point.

Free @ Baubles
Part of my hiatus musings left me with the decision to close Baubles at the end of the Addiction Hunt (Aug 15). I don't plan on any big sales or fanfare, just a quiet coalesced "take" into my inventory. The Summer of Love fair is going on -- how could you miss that? -- and while I opted out of the venue long ago, I did make a jewelry set in the spirit. (Here is the post on my adventures if you missed it.)
You can pick up the complete set or any of the individual pieces for free at Baubles. Find them in a big poster on the wall directly across from the entrance. If you want to tip me, you can be especially nice to someone in the next few days. Say hello to your neighbors, smile at a few strangers on the street, hug a friend or family member or coworker. We can all use a little extra love this summer.
If you journey over to the shop, you might want to look for the hypo needle for the Addiction Hunt. These bangles (both stacked and singles) are inside.
It has been a fun and creative experience.
A World Without Color
To a painter, white is the the absence of all color. It is the empty canvas, the blank sketch pad that awaits.
A lighting technician defines white as the combination of all colors. Red, green and blue mixing to form magenta, yellow and cyan which meld to birth the nothingness of white.
Subtractive or additive, hue combinations reflected or absorbed, all or nothingness -- It Was a Blur is a sidesteping adventure into a realm where colors appear as accents in an achromic landscape --
And the eye of the beholder.

While I've Been Gone --
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment
-- the world hasn't changed much.
But I have.
A week isn't a hiatus for most people, but for someone who has often made life altering decisions in the blink of an eye -- it is enough. I could have simply posted tomorrow, but so many SL citizens, bloggers and content creators are at a crossroads, I decided to include a little philosophy with my return.
My plan is simple one:
Follow your blissFor me, that means:
Flow around the rocks
Jump into the Vortex and savor the joyous ride
Quality over quantity postings
Art above merchandising
Embracing creativity and beauty
I see a lot of people going through the motions in our virtual world. Old timers are tired; the newness is gone and the spark of discovery and enthusiasm elusive. I was in that crowd. Sometimes we forget that we make choices every minute of every day. We can follow a path that enhances and enriches our lives or we can plod through old territory that we have boxed ourselves into.
All it takes for a new viewpoint is a change of direction.
Chic is dressed in new duds and will be heading out today or tomorrow for an adventure. Stay tuned.

Looking back. Looking forward. It is often the same thing.
I find myself joining the hiatus crew. Time to reassess. Time perhaps for a new vision.
The bunnies are fed. My hunt prize set. My inventory neat.
And so both Chic and her typist can exit with a light heart if a bit of a sad one. We are very different in many ways, but we do share a love for Phil's Place.
I suspect I will be back. I'm just not sure when or what I might be doing. Or even if I will be writing on this blog again. As a Who Knows present to myself, I dressed in some of my favorite things, grabbed my vintage suitcase and took these photos.
Thanks to everyone and I hope to see you soon.

Thanks to ALL the great pose makers over the years!
We have a rich world of seemingly endless possibilities, but how did we get here? Pixels and computers, software programs and in world building tool are merely implements. It is the imagination of our content creators that forge our environment.
I have been in a quandary of late. I am not alone :D. Should I stay? Should I go? Should I switch gears and try something new? My enthusiasm is waning and the hours logged in world on my personal timeclock minimal. A break doesn't seem like the answer -- even as I note the daily hiatus announcements of my contemporaries.
So what does this all have to do with fashion?
One thought leads to another.
I received a box of review items last night and opened them early this morning. *mUSGo seems to be a newish shop with an owner a bit over a year. The shop is in a small skybox high over the mainland. The prices are very inexpensive. There is a dollabie on the coffee table and you can even pick up the pink version of this outfit as a group gift. It reminded me a lot of my foray into clothing design.
Merchandising has always been an uphill battle in SL. I entered the world after many of the schools had closed. These days a search under educational events returns a short list with most classes having nothing to do with building. How do the new folks learn? True, we seem to have more than enough talented content creators, but penalizing the latecomers to the party seems a little unfair.
My shooting location is Vague which is now build as a bunny ranch. There are cute little shops here too, presumably people just wanting to create and try their hand at SL retail. I don't know that; it is just my imaginings of the morning leading me down this road. Still, it is and interesting journey. If you too are feeling a bit jaded and bored, try a little exploring. Imagine yourself as someone new to the world and see how exciting it can once again be.

There is a new store in town. If you are a girlie girl -- one that loves lollipops, sugar and spice and PINK -- it is for you. Now there isn't much in the shop yet. Actually there are only four items. Still, it is a different type of marketing and that always interests me.
Everything will be pink and everything will be $10. One of the first items in the shop is a multi-pieced tent sleepover set complete with ice chest, folding chairs with multiple poses and champagne -- well we HAVE to have champagne!
While I am not a particularly girlie girl, I did have a few pink items to choose from in my inventory. I am not sure we can call this a "girls club" look -- unless perhaps the club is based in Las Vegas, but hey, I tried.

Arguments over publicly controversial scientific issues like climate change commonly include a lot of accusations of ignorance, naïveté, and ulterior motives. Take a step back from "why is this person such a lughead?" though, and a much better question arises: why are opinions so strongly tied to political affiliation? Why should liberals and conservatives come to such different views of what the scientific evidence does or does not show? If your brain just started compiling a laundry list of reasons why those on the other side of the issue from you obviously become mislead, stop for a moment and consider your side as well.
Researchers have come up with several possible explanations for these systematic divergences in public opinion. A new study in the journal Judgment and Decision Making describes a head-to-head test of the most prevalent ones, done in an attempt to find out which one best describes what's really going on.
There are three hypotheses in play here. The first refers to what's known as "dual process reasoning," a model of human thinking in which we can engage with ideas on two levels. The first is quick and dirty, leaning on intuition and emotion. The second is slow and deliberative, resulting in more objective and rational decisions. If people are forming their opinions on the quick and dirty level without careful, logical consideration, then public controversies may be inevitable.
The second explanation pins the blame on purported differences between the thought processes of liberals and conservatives. This view, popularized by Chris Mooney in books like The Republican War on Science and The Republican Brain, holds that conservatives shy away from complexity or uncertainty. This would make the right side of the political spectrum more susceptible to being misled on complex issues such as climate change.
The third hypothesis is essentially "cultural cognition," a concept developed by the current study's author, Yale's Dan Kahan. The idea here is that everyone (to some extent) judges the reliability of information based on its implications for our cultural identity. Disregarding climate change—and its regulatory consequences—can be part of maintaining a group identity for someone who identifies as a conservative. Opposing genetically modified food can be important for someone who identifies as a liberal in a community of like-minded liberals.
In the study, a group of 1,750 people representative of the US population (by political affiliation, race, education, etc.) responded to some survey questions meant to test these hypotheses. Participants first described themselves politically (strong Republican to strong Democrat) and ideologically (very conservative to very liberal). They then took a test that is commonly used to assess deliberative, reflective thinking; it consisted of three mathematical questions with seductively intuitive yet incorrect answers. For example, one asked, "If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?" Most people answer these questions incorrectly—the average score here was about 0.7 out of 3.
The respondents were then split into three groups, each of which was asked to assess how effective they thought the test was at indicating how reflective and open-minded a person is. One group (the control) was simply told that psychologists believe the test is, indeed, effective. Two other groups were given additional information that was fodder for culturally weighted reasoning.
A second group was told that the test was effective as well, but they were also told that "in one recent study, a researcher found that people who accept evidence of climate change tend to get more answers correct than those who reject evidence of climate change" and so are judged to be more open-minded. The third group was told the opposite—that a recent study showed that people who reject evidence of climate change fared better on the test.
The three hypotheses for politically polarizing issues are all different avenues by which someone could end up employing "motivated reasoning"—reasoning that comes to convenient conclusions rather than the most objective ones. People who accept climate change are likely to chafe at the suggestion that their fellow "accepters" are more closed-minded than climate skeptics. As a result, they could be motivated to come to the conclusion that the test isn't very reliable. This is meant to simulate the way in which people judge reports of evidence for or against the positions they hold.
If this was primarily a question of intuitive versus deliberative thinking, you would expect those with lower scores on the test to display stronger motivated reasoning, regardless of political orientation. If conservatives are more prone to motivated reasoning than liberals, you'd expect that to be the most important factor. But if cultural identity is the central issue, both ends of the political spectrum should show stronger motivated reasoning than the middle. In fact, people who think more deliberatively (as measured by the test) on the far-left or far-right would show the greatest degree of motivated reasoning, since deliberative thinking gives them time to recognize threats to their identity and come up with better reasons why inconvenient evidence could be flawed.
The test results showed no difference in intuitive/deliberative thinking between ideologies (liberal/conservative). Just considering party affiliation, however, did show a statistically significant gap. Republicans averaged a little over 0.1 points (out of 3) higher than Democrats.
The experimental groups evaluating the effectiveness of the test displayed a fair amount of motivated reasoning, as expected. One average, liberals rated the test as less effective when told that people who accepted climate change performed poorly on it, and they rated it as more effective when told that it was the climate skeptics who didn't do as well. Conservatives did the same thing, and to a similar degree.
So far, the "conservatives don't think as objectively" hypothesis is in trouble, as conservatives showed no more motivated reasoning than liberals. So were the people who scored poorly on the deliberative thinking test more likely to be motivated reasoners? Nope. Bad news for the "dual process reasoning" hypothesis.
That leaves us with cultural identity. It turns out that higher scores on the test were associated with stronger motivated reasoning on the far left and far right. So not only were people polarized along political lines, but the ones who were supposedly more deliberative thinkers were even more polarized, as predicted.
This study adds its weight to others that have shown the importance of cultural identity in our evaluation of information—regardless of which cultural group we identify with. Kahan doesn't see this as a bias so much as a practical adaptation to life in social groups.
But it can lead, Kahan says, to a situation like the "tragedy of the commons," where rational decisions for individuals (I'll raise more cattle on this public pasture land) result in negative outcomes for all (the land has been overgrazed). The individual tendency to preserve the connection with one's cultural group can ultimately split society as a whole, preventing it from acting on the best available evidence. So instead, we call each other lugheads.

Army MP units have combat zone responsibilities in addition to their law enforcement duties. These responsibilities include mounted and dismounted patrols, response force operations, area damage control, route reconnaissance, cordon and search operations, and convoy and personnel escorts. Operationally, these duties fall under the "security and mobility support" discipline of the Military Police Corps. Since the beginning of the Global War on Terror, military police have become a valuable asset to combat operations due to the versatility of the MOS. The Military Police Corps traces its lineage and history back to the American Revolution. General George Washington requested that the staff position of Provost Marshal be created to deal with disciplinary issues. In January 1776, William Maroney was appointed as the first Provost Marshal of the Continental Army. The Provost Marshals relied on soldiers temporarily drawn from other units, and had difficulty enforcing discipline. On 20 May 1778, Congress established the Provost Corps, which General Washington referred to as the Marechaussee. This name was from the French: "mar??chauss??e," from the Old French "mareschaucie," meaning "the marshalcy." Captain Bartholomew von Heer, a German-speaking officer from Pennsylvania, was appointed as the first commander of the Marechaussee on 1 June 1778.

Lebanon: Girls Camp Focuses on Technology for Empowerment
Equipped with writing, filming and editing skills, "Geekettes" are ready to take back the tech and introduce audiences to an entirely new way of looking at the world: through the eyes of Lebanese girls ages 15-19.
During the weeklong Girl Geek Camp in July, girls from across Lebanon arrived in the city of Kfardebian to learn how to create blogs, use social networks, and film videos on cameras and mobile phones. Building on the camp's success, the second class of Geekettes arrive this month.
"When I think of technology, I immediately think of data and really complicated stuff," said 16-year-old geekette, Reem Chamseddine. "Geek Camp showed me that technology could be used to create beautiful things."
This was the first session of Girl Geek Camp, and trainers spent weeks putting together a program that empowered young girls through technology.
"This is a sensitive age where girls are very much aware of social issues, and are in a transitional period when it comes to career choices," said Chantal Partamian, a filmmaker and Geek Camp trainer. "I wanted to make them realize that film is a tool of expression, and that the availability of simple video-making tools give them another way to express, explore and shed light on their issues."
No Such Thing as One-Size-Fits-All Feminism
Girl Geek Camp is an initiative of Nasawiya, a collective of feminist activists in Lebanon who are committed to gender justice and equality. Attracted to their innovative strategies and tactics, Global Fund for Women gave Nasawiya its first flexible grant in 2009 to ensure that young feminists have space to organize and create positive social change.
Members of Nasawiya argue that there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all feminism. Rather, they are a learning organization that listens and challenges its members: men and women who are almost all under the age of 30. In 2009, they put their mission to the test by taking to the streets of Lebanese neighborhoods to talk to over 2,400 women about feminism.
"I am a feminist because I believe in social change, equality and making society and the world a more equal place," said Partamian, who is also one of Nasawiya's founders. "I believe in empowerment, autonomy and the right to our own bodies and thoughts."
Driven Despite InequalitiesAlthough there have been many gains for women's rights in Lebanon over the years, almost none have been ratified by law. Discriminatory practices abound in the work place, educational institutions and family dynamics. Nasawiya organizes initiatives like Geek Camp to battle these issues, and show girls that they have a right to a positive self-image and an emotionally and physically healthy life.
"Girls at the camp were the most amazing group of young people I have worked with," said Partamian. "They are aware of inequalities, and are driven to work towards bettering things."
Even though the first session of Girl Geek Camp ended, Chamseddine says that the girls take keeping in touch seriously by communicating via Facebook and in person. They are also planning a reunion in 2013.

We hope we were really talking to "Fringe" star John Noble and not his alternate-universe counterpart, because whoever it was has us totally stoked for the season finale.
Noble's been playing two sides of the alt-universe coin this season as both the brilliant but troubled biochemist Walter Bishop and his inter-dimensional counterpart – dubbed "Walternate" – his universe's Secretary of Defense, and both men's agendas are coming to a head.
"It's like an epic trilogy," says Noble of "Fringe's" season-ending episodes. "All year we've been heading towards the fact that there seems to be inevitable conflict between the two universes, and we've gotten to know the people on both sides now. So we now bring it to a conclusion starting with '6:02,' Friday night's episode. We start to deal with the issue because our Earth starts to deteriorate. Events start to happen here which indicate that our world is degrading, and so everyone has to say, 'Well, this problem is not going to go away. It's now affecting our side. We do have a machine which we believe can assist in the resolution of this problem.'"
U.S. & World
"You could make an assumption based on what's happened so far with both these men gathering pieces of the machine that they both have the same tool," says Noble. "What happens, in fact—which will be no surprise to anyone—is that Walternate finds a way to activate his machine, and as a result our world starts to break down – I mean seriously break down, as we've witnessed in the alternate universe, which of course then prompts panic on our side. 'What do we do?'"
"We start to resort to...ourselves," reveals Noble. "Walter has to really come to his very best—has to get his best faculties back together again, do exactly what William Bell told him he could do and resolve these problems with everything he needs to do it. He has to allow Peter the freedom to be a hero, instead of being a protective parent."
"The very fundamental nature of science – and Walternate points this out during the season – is that the universe will seek balance, and that's, in fact, true," the actor adds. "So what we'll find, through some awfully precarious events, is that everything will attempt to find balance. And this man, Walter/Walternet – because they are the same man – will hopefully find a balance as back as one human being again. Because at this stage neither of them are complete human being by any means."
Because "Fringe" also focuses as much on the human equation as the sci-fi elements, the season-long tension between Walter and Peter (Joshua Jackson) also come to a head. "Most of the season Walter has been alienated from his beloved son, and he found that very difficult because he had become so attached to Peter," he adds. "You'll see that there'll be some resolution between Peter and Walter: a much more grown-up relationship will establish."
The veteran, Australian-born actor is still celebrating "Fringe's" semi-surprise fourth season pick-up and the opportunity to continue playing a role he calls a gift. "I've been sort of acting forever," he says. "What Walter Bishop gave me was the opportunity to basically use just about every trick I've got in my book, and have such a lot of fun doing it. And then, like the gift that keeps on giving, they also gave me Walternate to show the other side of him. So as a reward for, I guess, an actor towards the end of his career, it seriously couldn't have been better."
It's a character(s) he expects to explore thoroughly, given "Fringe's" devoted fan base. "I suppose what will happen somewhere down the track is they'll make a movie – that seems to happen," he says. "Walter is still a work in progress. It's a most rare thing to be able to develop a character over four years. But when it finishes, I suspect it's finished and there'll be other fish to fry, as they say."
But he's not sure whether to believe that a certain contingent of the audience sees brainy, eccentric Walter as a bona fide sex symbol – maybe in an alternate existence? "Oh, Lord. A sex symbol, is he?" he laughs heartily. "Oh, golly, I don't know. No, I haven't experienced that. There was a girl in New York that wanted me to sign her midriff. She pulled her shirt up – but she was doing that to all the actors!"

Anger Management Techniques To Live Byfrom: Jennifer Morton - Guest Writer
Expressing your emotions is a healthy thing, but expressing them in an uncontrollable manner could be very dangerous, so here are some anger management techniques which you can undertake to make sure that your anger will not control you.
Acceptance and recognition of the problem: -
For some accepting and recognizing that they have anger management issues is very difficult. This is most probably because they are either scared to receive negative feedback from other people, or they are so angry, that they do not seem to realize that they are in fact angry!
Either way, it is very important to initially accept and recognize that you are struggling with anger management. This should help you to realize that there are things that can and should be done, and what the best ways are to prevent the possible serious consequences of unchecked anger.
Identifying the root cause of your anger: -
After you have accepted and recognized the fact that you do indeed have anger management issues, the next very important thing to do is to identify what the root causes of your anger are. This would help you focus on specific solutions that would also directly help solve your problems. Equally, knowing the root causes of your anger would also let you know how to stay away from things that could trigger it.
Letting go of it: -
Many people with anger management issues tend to bring back previous things and events that caused them pain and anger in the first place. This is dangerous since pain and suffering from the past, could easily trigger anger even from the simplest things. So do make sure that you let go, and forgive and then forget the things and the people who have hurt you in the past.
Avoid solving the problem, instead, handle it well: -
"In every problem, there is always a solution." This is the saying that keeps people optimistic, but at the same time causes people to become frustrated by the things and events that have happened to them. The reason for this is because you can never solve every single problem that comes your way.
There are things that can happen which are out of your control, so instead of focusing on the solution to the problem, try to realize what the proper ways to deal the problem effectively are. This would free you from the effects of frustration, including anger.
Create a diversion: -
Anger can cause both yourself and the other people around you considerable harm. As we said before, it is okay to express anger, but once that expression has gone beyond your control, anger can becomes dangerous.
What you should do therefore, is to attempt to divert your anger into a more constructive activity. Take note of the fact that an angry person tends to become much stronger than normal, so doing something harmless and acceptable is the best way to utilize that increased strength.
Communicate well: -
When you are angry, the tendency is for you to lose control of yourself. Once it happens, you might not be conscious of your every word or every action, so do continue to practice how to communicate well, and keep yourself in control of your situation.
Communicating well will lead to and understanding of what is really happening, and communicating well will also allow you to listen to others as well as thinking well, and asserting yourself well on different scenarios where other people lose it.
Take it easy: - This does not mean that you laugh off your anger, just try to keep it cool, and try to relax your whole body. Controlling your anger is a matter of choice, so in other words, you are solely responsible if you want to get angry or not, so take it real easy.
It is much better to think about the consequences of the possible actions that you commit when you succumb to your anger, rather than thinking of the indisputable fact that you have done wrong after you have calmed down.

Therefore, I am surprised at what I am about to say: I love The Northern Heartland Kitchen and since it arrived in the mail, nary a day has gone by when neither my wife nor I has picked it up.

Eric Schmidt Will Take Your Questions Now
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt addresses a range of subjects -- including the company's core belief in Android as an open source religion, and how Facebook Home exemplifies that -- during his appearance at the D: Dive Into Mobile conference on Tuesday.

... the ... your spouse ... in February ball Congress spoke with Samsung and they downplayed the notion of tension between themselves and go over and write but ... the facts are that I think according to Gartner in the fourth quarter they shipped forty percent of the global Android ... devices and they are really ... the only Android OEM making any significant ... money off of selling Android devices so ... do you think that that dynamic is a healthy one for the Android ecosystem and what ... if anything were to go to to ... ALM change that or address ... for some lots of time with Samsung and I can confirm is that ... that that press coverage of the tension is often corrupt ... we've heard of it was to put them in fact we just recently met with them in California ... I've been that ... the South Korea and by the Ministry of a South Korea's many times to talk to them ... um they have literally hundreds of millions of the phones phones coming on the in form ... um and the value in profits to them are very high so ... I don't think you can see much of a change there ... obviously we want a competitive market is obviously one of many competitors is possible ... indeed Motorola's the competitors are others ... but the Samsung relationship has turned out to be a defining one ... aam and I will always be appreciative of their decision very early ... yet to be a very very significant makeup really tough decision of the time to Android which would help the financial ... is it healthy that very few phone makers I mean we talk about this to be billion phones ... I'm people to be making ... these ... you know to billion in two billion phones in the next year they can be making money doing and while these are capitalists ... um and you spent time with him South Koreans they're very good capitalists ... some quite sure that all of these firms will make money sometimes you know us enough invest into the market ... um but ... if you tell me there's a billion billion consumer opportunity ... for handsets that are going to help define their world that are so important in the Western press today ... people will make money to make money by the window for what ... now Mr. Lin won ... Steve Markham BusinessInsider ... Terry Myerson from Marcus offers Justin's digicam and Spillane said ... he would be shocked if you guys returned a blocked off its because right now what why why why a listen to Micra soft ... spot with a new cam on stage and said ... a few months agents I really love my ... as and it's true but if this case the company takes off ... what's to keep the guys from ... removing them from the apps run blocking and having people cycling instead ... but this email constructed using Microsoft a scenario this highly unlikely ... when to ask whether saw some basic questions about their products in their strategy ... and lastly a question of who will not not not a messy in Russia but a look though ... no no no no but I want to question phrase about who will not about my Aunt Kathy guys from blocking fees were not for now the app store if it takes off it would be counter to our ... public statements for policies or religion ... Dish may else know when you think about a no no no don't buy when it ran as a oppressing your your answer the question of if the answer is no answers that you may not be renewed next up a next best ... thing a very good ... when he went something on public gets a prized people just come with you can do ... with in the existing Android framework and still use Google's services this is call this this is called what the answer is about ... I said earlier with commonly happy that people are sending an art in all these lines so you don't look at that as anything other his successor happy that it's all open source ... last time I checked you can have ... like half open source ... he was going for a few days have rules if you want to use Google's services the rules about what you can and can't do ... and they did ... a lot within ... the start of trading with any implement the they read the manual to read the rules and is here to ... shocking ... okay ... I'm shocked I'm shock has so many can read the rules and I was implemented ... but for them ... in fact if you look at if you look at Facebook ... if you look at Facebook the action needed a very important point to remain completely applications ... this shows you the power ... of the PA Farm it has been though I think it's a tremendous endorsement of who will play an away win so that's why one of the year notifications on your own screen you may speak to Facebook about that ... write ... to ... Rolfe Winkler from the Wall Street Journal Your interviewed by Walton chair at the ninety second Street Y a few months back you're talking about the four horsemen of the Internet ... Apple Amazon ... Mike soft in Facebook ... next up was inevitable I ... think it is always me ... aam ... question why is it you're at the gas you ... if you can run one of those companies which would it be and use a nap she asked why he says because of the cash ... my question for you is ... what would you do with the catch ... I won't fall out of a parent I want to layer with companies and FMI spending ... Apple's he said if you could run ... into those four companies it wasn't a will ... you'd be Apple and wine he said because the huge pile of catch up I said because I've been on the board of Apple very fond of Apple ... and that's why really answer the question ... um I haven't uses the he said the cash but I actually I instead I did answer the question you walk through it ... um ... what I do really think about tech tech companies in cash ... is that ... there's a point which you have enough to ... um that you need to either start investing the stuff for lower prices ... because of the new catnip tech machines are generating a lot a cow ... um it's good to me all this cash piling up on all these companies can if you look finally everyone of them is piling up lotsa lotsa can have ... that's a missed opportunity for investment ... in Apple's case I think I have to be there to release him understand ... but as part of ways to soak up once cash in on the sides giving up your specific investment recommendations for Apple and I think I think I think I'll focus on who think that ... if ... how are things with Apple I mean you are on the board then you know obviously it because the more competitor left ... is is there more dialogue these days so of course will ... persist member Apple will have a big part of SharePoint search has lots of money being made between the two companies on ... on certain with the mobile explosion that occurred we seen ... tremendous success ... out with maps of course we basically ... told them we really like in use maps ... they decided not to do with Alumina like these maps we really like them to still use our maps ... indeed as though I mean I think you know we talk about it like you know ... one of the consequences of Apple ... you know doing their own masses we finally got the Google Maps as big as I O s users that we wanted without the turn by turn we got all the things ... that we wanted why why did Apple have to do their own maps for us to get the Google maps that we won in the first things you'll need Ask Apple accretion ... from our from our perspective ... we really want them to use our maps with all those ... directions so so ... we're happy that you don't have that as an app to be easy for them to take ... the efforts in the store and that is a bit ... but so ... often ... um so first like to see ... stuff ... from slipper for some like to see thank you ... aam for for anything that goes on to change the world and continue to innovate even at the skill in sizing guys are ... the single question ... um can you share your thoughts on the connected home ... cool TV in and really the connected home in on expects ... on any room in a year ago it started talking about the vision of the Android as a platform ... on ... that was more than just mobile phones equipped with and talking about songs but Android is ... now showing up everywhere you printers and ... televisions and things like that ... make me be venture lots of other consumer devices ... to the Pacific or ideas think about ... pure Weisel configured ... to which you really want is you want when the device comes into a local network you what you want to self configuring a wanna be sitting there ... you re saying Olam Joinus network in this is with us and so forth ... the so the classic example if you walk into your room ... aam and because it's because it's bigger normal behavior he realizes that you want your text messages on your phone ... to show on the TV were not been in with your other people so far ... and we can do all of that now ... so enter is powerful enough and has enough sense the information ... that we can have very very useful than exploration connected devices ... and the principal months riding with this with its automatic self configuring is something that can can occur which in any device ... it any of the Consumerist EP based devices ... and almost everything we use now has a computer in some idea of or were never ... more than six inches from us from integrated circuit is no ... better reason was that this is a lot of them we use first Vanguard ... a lot of the verses I'm describing will not be fully and right ... now was not the will to run the app store so for didn't have enough computation ... of the data networking stack and that some leaders display now ... thank you ... I ... by Eric Flint still not national ... um ... in the aftermath of the Boston bombing you guys launched the person find a new widely praised for it and I started to think that ... you're the only way in which something like that can work is using Goebel signals ... which are very important for search and in everything he know about us ... so ... obviously he has also some from a lot of criticism for those same things and I feel like you are Hold up to a double standard ... that ... Google is praise when it does something with the tools it has in hand and then David Dana but he says are invading our privacy ... and yell you're trying to ... steal or inflation so what what does it take ... to change that perception what is is as you keep saying you talk here ... universe the abuses human nature ... or is it some point people realize or don't realize of Google's true nature ... I think you're the question and a complement ... um ... you know ... if the if you look of privacy people have a lot of concerns about privacy ... and a lot of examples of companies that violate people's privacy um they also feel that ... of their expose on line for whatever reason so ... I think that the criticisms are well intended ... and the best answer though I can come up with this to say what we do and why we do it ... and um ... I'm not sure how to answer entropy on that ... I'd I don't think that privacy concerns in no way I think that they're going to continue ... and investing the week to say look to share thing about privacy you to know what you're doing we have to be very careful about security ... um ... and we have to be very clear as to what were doing why were doing at ... any estimates answer some basic ... and it's easy to say ... it's easy to say you know make this type of Apple customize this is of the system works ... I'm much more concerned not about oversight cool but Rocha third party companies that come in and do things which really upset the perception of the industry's a whole ... um ... I don't go to bed the well run companies try to include most of the leaders here ... actually do have a lot legal team's PR teams is a lot of time thinking about these things ... and we can debate their decisions but the fact that matters their fall through ... other regulated their attempts that they're trying very hard to be legal so focus on ... UB mention lots of other companies write ... to come in assertiveness use this information to create a bad thing for her but ... ultimately ultimately in industries to sort this out as the mentor ... and were still changing so quickly in these devices or so and so so very empowering ... and it was fairly snow ... I am too much or from Coleman fully ... with all the advances that tools made and technology ... in you mention them ... Moore's Law with advances in the same computer power ... what can you do what what is going to make any efforts in basically the a ... the other part of our phone which is the battery in the energy in ... aam ... are the investing anything are investigating developing ... aam ... who we we don't have anything specific in the Cyprus some investments I know that our partners to make the phone to spend a lot of time on battery life ... um the simplest way you do this if you have a useless signal so resembling Android ... not only does it allow you to shut down parts of the new boss to show you how much bandwidth for using and so forth and operatives like that ... so the more clever about the scarce resource that is our on your phone ... is the primary reason why with innings of no longer batteries ... the new generation of chips us to the ARM chips in on the new generation of of Intel chips ... are designed very much to be on battery efficient for that ... reason ... aam ... the best of the stated that there are lots lots of venture firms are working on new variants of lithium batteries ... aam and error last time I counted roughly ten different variants of lithium none of which I understood ... um ... BT which has different potential for properties it's a slow cycles very different from our world ... I should mention that when Moore's law ... it is a lot of people who've been looking at with how much longer more small will will continue ... that interest is the mantra terse conference report that one to disintegrate creepy scale ... um and the consensus is that we're sort of on the ending of that period although it's not ended yet ... but at some point some number of years from now ... this amazing engine that's been driving all of this will in fact slowdown and or technical reasons for that ... most involving power ... and heat ... not as much as this recipe ... humans in the Intrade is going you know to this next you know billion devices in a very short time frame ... you know I think it's a great time to blog look an entry vessel with what he think Intrade has done really well and and where the biggest opportunities for us what more can these devices do ... on that they don't do today ... well the story will be what apps too ... so think of as a platform ... and as a platform that offers a pretty complete now you can pretty much two ... amazing apps on this these devices ... and so we talked a little self configuring nature and set things the estimate comes as naturally as extensions of the platform ... but aside from that it's gonna be apps apps apps in these are both based in all five apps wrapped up ... as well as native needed to house ... and again you know I think that's the fact the matter is he going to start today ... the developing for enjoy them on from ... right to different operating systems Division one which is ... and then they have back and services which are running on some form of of of all ... what about the physical device how likely do you think is a need today is pretty much of the vault within ... big screen Saab of class ... did is that ... is that the and standard you think a couple years from now which is flexible displays some will will the phone look really different fears are there many people working on new kinds of hardware there we we've all to this end of sixth in last place ... because the primary cost driver battery driver so forth was in fact the screen ... and ... the is a lot of evidence people of the sky spans the ... Pistons are going to the point where the visual density ... is essentially perfect for my perspective ... um so be on that on the show will speak into ... more flexible different forms different shapes and so forth ... so will see that in in law of Assisi on lots of wearable computing and lots of research in the last decade ... of what would wearable computing look like ... vocal class came out of that research will be other kinds of things you think we wanna watch this is a lot of talk well with too many people suffering losses because they had to fall so now the question is will the watch the powerful enough that you want to use your phone all the time ... of the insight that I would offer is a simple class and the ability to speak to a new polity of the speakers as the Dick Tracy walk you can speak to ... all wondered Mayo clinic Rochester Minnesota there's all sorts of things happening in health care as we're all aware ... interesting things going on I was intrigued by air comments about remote monitoring ... where do you see those partnership opportunities what you think or the key players that need to be involved in those conversations and how we make that happen ... um ... most of the full focus on health rights he um within the Mayo is so a lot going on and ... has been around cost auctioned delaying system rising medical treatment so forth ... within the hostel sequences system in in the ALP's sequence ... up and the board to continue for people like myself it looks like a ninety problem you know big computers lots of data ... of you know highly regulated to the purposes of things ... there is a much larger explosion is going to be ... it happening ... which is on the medical device monitoring ... his interest or more patches other things which are non invasive ... that you where you ingest you paint on yourself and so forth which then speak to the phone ... um there are many many manufacturers that are making small bundles you can plug into the phone the specialist ... medical receivers are so that they pay packages literally plug into ... of the USB port on the phone ... and off you go ... the phone then becomes the staging area for the information ... for real-time information both ways ... so you know real time monitoring of your heart to that of all sorts of examples like this coming ... and this all happened very fast this is an area relatively less regulation ... is more costs for consumer app wrong ... also the market has not been RiverPark descriptions of people can just go buy things ... centers ...

If a friend does not respect your boundaries, they are not a friend.
Click on this link to listen to the podcast.
I am 19 and have gone through a number of changes recently. Within a year I graduated from high school, got my first home and got married.
A few months ago my husband's best friend moved in with us – only for a few weeks, but then the weeks turned into months. Initially it worked out fine, but now things are getting totally out of hand.
We have a big TV in our house. Recently this man decided to buy a projector, put it in the middle of the lounge floor, and put up a white sheet in the middle of my house. He did not ask for permission, and when I asked him to take the stuff out of the way, he just ignored me.
He also bought an additional TV so that he and my husband could play games together, each using their own TV. I just got ignored in all of this, as if I don't exist.
My husband works day shifts and his friend works nights. This friend decides when the air conditioning should be switched on during the day, and he takes control of the TV all day because he does not like my choice of shows.
Before this man moved in with us, we coped financially, but now we often overspend because just the food he eats cost more than the minimal rent he pays.
Our bills for internet use, phone and electricity have gone up. He claims that he cannot pay more rent, but he spends cash on computer games, brand-new state-of-the-art TV sets and other gadgets that are taking over my house.
I like to keep things neat and tidy, but it is impossible with this man making a mess all day and never cleaning up after himself.
My husband and I have started to argue about things that we in the past had no problems with.
Is it wrong to feel the way I do?

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin (or use a silicone one). Put 140g sugar, flour and bicarb in a bowl and mix to combine. In a jug, whisk together the yogurt, eggs and vanilla. Tip the jug contents and melted butter into the dry ingredients and quickly fold with a metal spoon to combine.
