Democrats will be pushing higher minimum wages to help with 2014 elections
ORIGINAL POST: Economists have long understood that minimum wages hurt the very lowest skilled individuals the most. The people who are just trying to get a leg up the later of success are stopped from getting on the first step. You raise the wages of employees so that there is an excess supply, and the ones who are the least productive (e.g., those that require the most training) are less likely to make the cut. Yet, Democrats claim that they are pushing higher minimum wages to help the poor. From the Associated Press:
Republican governors running for re-election next year are looking to capitalize on distaste for Washington gridlock and President Barack Obama's dropping public approval amid the bumpy rollout of his signature health care law — and Democratic challengers may need to respond with a popular cause.
A minimum wage increase could be the answer.
Democrats vying to challenge a slew of Republican governors, particularly those seeking re-election in states that Obama won last year, are talking up an increase as their campaigns get off the ground 11 months before the election. . . .
Thus far, the Republicans whom Democrats view as most vulnerable aren't changing their minds and supporting it.
In addition to Corbett, the Democrats' list of most vulnerable includes Maine's Paul LePage, Michigan's Rick Snyder and Wisconsin's Scott Walker. Florida's Rick Scott and Ohio's John Kasich might be insulated because their states' laws boost minimum wage with inflation and Iowa's Terry Branstad, New Mexico's Susanna Martinez and Nevada's Brian Sandoval aren't viewed as sufficiently endangered. . . .The push is likely to be the center piece of Obama's 2014 domestic agenda. From Politico:
Podesta, who had just announced plans to spin off from CAP a new project focusing on economic inequality, will be part of the big minimum wage hike push likely to be the centerpiece of Obama's pared-down 2014 domestic agenda. "It will fuel our politics for years to come," says Neera Tanden, who replaced Podesta as CAP's CEO. . . .

Tiger by The Tail video film documentary. Placing an Israeli Palestine conflict in a context as seen from the United Nations and in general the worlds perspective, in contrast to the United States government and the Israeli governments own conflicted perspective. This documentary highlights questionable arguments and propaganda used by the United States and Israeli governments, who justify actions of stealing Palestine land.
It shows clearly an extent of land and inevitably destructed lives which has been a result of this holocaust. Great destruction resulting in an extensive loss of life. Is genocide occurring in Palestine?
The media outlets in The United States and Israel will make you believe other wise. What doesn't get reported very much if at all in both a fore mentioned nation states, is the amount of death and destruction occurring in Palestine. Not only does the United States and Israel not report about possible genocide occurring in Palestine, but often times it paints Palestinians as terrorists.
Whom are the real terrorists in this scenario? Palestine doesn't have much of a military or government for that matter when compared to perhaps monolithic monsters Israel and the United States. The United States gives around six to nine billion annual military aid to Israel from my understanding.
This does not account for items that are basically free or not accounted for in terms of currency. Is what is taking place in Palestine genetic cleansing? Is it perhaps racism white supremacy?
Is it solely a land grab? Some of these questions are asked and answered in this documentary. If anything this documentary at least tries to view this conflict from a different perspective.
Albeit this perspective is contrary to what propaganda is being used in the Israel and United States media.

Hypoglycemia diet is an important treatment when the blood sugar is way too low. What happens in the work place if an employee goes through this episode? For one thing, the table on its treatment can be prominently displayed. Adapted from the Handbook of Diabetes Medical Nutrition Therapy, here's the table:
When on insulin or medication therapy, increased exercise may lower your need for medication. This is good but you and your health care team have to adjust the medication or add a timed snack or you may have an episode so make sure you have the hypoglycemia diet to treat it if you're at home or the office. If not, carry a snack with sugar with you just in case you need it.
Since one company goal in its program of making a difference for diabetes is to provide chances for the employees to change lifestyle, this is the opportunity to show it. The work place could provide the hypoglycemia diet supplies. Here are other possible actions the company can undertake:
What are the benefits of the aforementioned actions? Aside for the preparedness when hypoglycemia diet is needed, there are many other outcomes. The value of the results of these actions is immeasurable. Here are the possible outcomes:
The above are just on the effects of the disease on people. How about the economic consequences? Hospitalizations related to diabetes is reported to be 13.9 million days in 1997 while the office visits to physicians is 30.3 millions in the same year You can bet some of these needed a hypoglycemia diet treatment.
The total medical expenses related to diabetes in 1997 was $98 billion. Of the indirect estimate cost of $54 billion, $16.9 billion was for early death and $37.1 billion for disability. The estimate for direct cost of $44.1 billion was spent as follows:
What is a company to do when faced with such statistics? To be more efficient, it is clear all efforts have to be organized. Such actions as tracking down medical claims so service can be improved and providing education classes on preventing diabetes complications and providing supplies for hypoglycemia diet will lead to fewer hospitalization and office visits and reduced expenses.

LOS ANGELES -- In a hospital, every second counts even with something as routine as checking patients' vitals.
It's usually an intrusive procedure that involves regular monitoring by the nursing staff. But now, there's a high tech solution that's making the process a lot easier and more accurate.
"Normally, vital signs are taken every four hours," said Betty Downey, Nursing Director of the Medical Surgical Unit at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif.
St. John's is the the first hospital in the U.S. to try out a new monitoring system called Sensium Vitals developed by the Toumaz Group.
Downey says her hospital has seen positive results using the new monitoring system.
"This way, it's taken every couple of minutes," said Downey. "And, if there is a deterioration in the patient, the nurses are alerted immediately."
A disposable bandage packed with electrodes and low power wireless technology is placed on a patient's chest. Then, vital signs like changes in temperature, heart rate, and breathing are wirelessly sent to a computer or mobile device for monitoring.
For patients it's hardly noticeable.
"I'm more or less unaware that it's on me. I don't think about something being attached to me," said patient Rubert Williams.
And because patients wearing the devices can avoid escalating medical issues, hospital bills can be cheaper.
Each disposable patch has a battery that lasts about three days and patients can even wear the patch after being discharged, which means hospital-like monitoring is available in the comfort of their own homes.
This technology shows a lot of promise, especially if doctors can catch and treat an issue before it spirals out of control.

Have you already broken a New Year resolution to kick a bad habit?
New research may explain the reason it's so hard to change that pattern of behavior.
Research by Duke University scientists suggests that habits leave a lasting mark on certain circuits in the brain, "priming us to feed our cravings."
The researchers trained mice to form varying degrees of a sugar habit by giving them sweets if they pressed a lever. The mice that became addicted kept pressing the lever even without being rewarded with a sweet.
The scientists then compared the brains of the sugar-addicted mice with those that didn't develop a habit. In particular, they looked at the basal ganglia, "a complex network of brain areas that controls motor actions and compulsive behaviors, including drug addiction."
The basal ganglia, researchers said, emitted two kinds of messages, a "go" message that spurs action and a "stop" signal.
"One day, we may be able to target these circuits in people to help promote habits that we want and kick out those that we don't want," said Nicole Calakos, the study's senior investigator and an associate professor of neurology and neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center.
In the addicted mice, researchers said the stop and go signals were "more active." The researchers said they expected the stop signal to be less active in an addicted brain.
For the non-addicted mice, the stop signal was turned on before the go signal. The reverse was the case for the addicted mice.
"The go pathway's head start makes sense," said Calakos. "It could prime the animal to be more likely to engage in the behavior."
The researchers are testing this idea, as well as investigating how the rearrangements in activity occur in the first place.
The researchers noted that the changes in the circuits occurred over the "entire region of the basal ganglia they were studying as opposed to specific subsets of brain cells." The changes were "long-lasting and obvious" to the point researchers could tell which brain was addicted by looking at small pieces in a petri dish.
This, researchers say, may be why one addiction can lead to others.
As part of the research, the scientists wanted to see if they could break habits in the mice, by only giving them sweets when they stopped pressing the lever. The mice that broke the habit had "weaker go cells."
This could lead to helping humans break bad habits, but since the basal ganglia is so complex, it will be hard to target with drugs, said the researchers.
Calakos said some of the scientists are already using transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS, a non-invasive technique that sends magnetic pulses to parts of the brain to help patients with severe addiction.
The findings are published in the journal Neuron.

|Costumes for Women
This homemade costume for women entered our 2014 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Tina, the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show Magenta' costume creator:
I am wearing the costume. I have wanted to dress as Magenta for 20 years or more but didn't want to buy the costume. This year I finally decided it was time to make the costume from scratch. I used approximately $50 in fabric, thread and buttons and created the pattern myself by researching pictures of the movie character and watching the movie. I am very happy with the results as this was the first time I attempted making clothing.

I have to run out the door, so I am unabashedly plagiarizing from Ebby's blog. I'll just tell you this up front. Tonight is the fourth episode of TNT's new Dallas series,and I love it. So does the rest of the world; the reviews have been fantastic.
And Jo told you that 2504 Beacon Crest Drive in Plano, Paulette Greene's listing, is the home of the infamous Southfork Ranch in the pilot episode. You know, the one where what's her name got the cookbook from Anne.
(Note: I do not like the name "Anne". I like "Ann".)
Well, another wonderful Dallas home that we have written up, that in fact belongs to some dear friends, has already made a peep in some scenes. That's 4130 Cochran Chapel in Bluffview – listed for sale by Patricia Massey of Dave Perry-Miller & Associates for $6.9 million.
The house is to-die-for, as we told you, and also reduced for sale. Wouldn't you like to own a home that is regularly sought after by talent scouts? As I may have told you, I think they used Cochran Chapel in "GCB" as well, R.I.P. And they are paying anywhere from $1500 to $3000 PER DAY to shoot at these homes. Seems to me you could cover at least a few mortgage payments with that kind of booty.
Ebby says you can see the home's debut from the third episode of Dallas here. And this fabulous home will make more cameo appearances in upcoming episodes.
Now I'm just dang copying: "Curious to see what it takes to film a television show? Check out the behind the scenes photos of the filming at 4130 Cochran Chapel at the Ebby Halliday Facebook Page."
Thanks Cody! Want a by-line?

~ Lúthien was not the only offspring of Maia and Elf born in the Elder Days, but Vanimórë's tale was never to be sung in glittering halls.
His mother was Elven.
His father was Sauron.
His birth was accomplished by the blackest sorcery of Morgoth Bauglir.
He was forged as a double-edged sword is forged, as lethal and as beautiful.
And they tested him to breaking-point.
He would not break.
"Until the sky breaks and the mountains fall into the Great Sea, and the End cometh, there is no world for us." ~ Vanimórë Gorthaurion.
The first of the Dark Prince series, the story of Sauron's son, born to be a weapon, a warrior, a servant of the Dark – or its eternal enemy. ~

Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19 ~ I Dream His Life ~
Oh I loved this chapter! Think it was because if the Fëanorians!! What heartbreak. Especially Fingon's line" this is Maedhros" that was powerful. Poor Maglor trapped by his promise being unable to try and save his brother.
I am a bit confused by Tindòmion. I feel like I have missed something, like there is something else I should have read so I know exactly where he came from ?
Author's Response: Oh yes, Magnificat of the Damned I: Starfall, is partly Tindómion's story. There was no way I could fit all that and Dark Prince together without making it just too big and too unwieldy by going from Van's story to the Noldor, and back and forth like that, so I decided to write them separately :)
Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21 ~ The Last Star Is Fallen ~
OMG ....what a beautiful death scene......I am crying....
Author's Response: I think it is worse in Magnifcat I - but thank you!
Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22 ~ I Reject The Valar ~
I can't believe they sent Gil-Galad to the void! I am so livid !!! so unfair!
Which Valar was this? Manwë ??
It was good to see Elrond get a bit of flack for not forcing the destruction of the ring when he had the chance. I always think he is let off a bit too lightly for that.
So sad that Vanimórë could not stay with them, I wanted him too but I understand his reasons not to.
Author's Response: Manwë pronounced the sentence, Mandos took his soul :(
It was good to see Elrond get a bit of flack for not forcing the destruction of the ring when he had the chance. I always think he is let off a bit too lightly for that.
I think Tindómion never forgives him, and Van would indeed have kicked Isildur into the Cracks of Doom and not even felt a moment's guilt.
I do understand why Elrond didn't, but it seems to me he was just being too 'prissy' about not getting his hands dirty. In fact I have zero interest in Elrond, and only writing him when he kind of *has* to be in a chapter, because he was there in canon. But, ugh!
No, Van could not stay; ultimately Sauron, when he returns, would just draw out all his memories of where he went, and use them when he went to war, so it would not have been a good idea!
Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 ~ Tindómion ~
Ah! Here it is! Now I understand a bit more about Tindomion .
Author's Response: There is a lot more in Magnificat I, but in this I just wanted to put enough for people to basically know whom he was :) And thank-you again, for continuing to read and comment :) It is very much appreciated.
Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30 ~ A Candle In The Darkness ~
Oh, you are breaking my heart with Vanimórë and Elgalad! I am hoping Vanimórë will be able to get Elgalad away from there though I fear his punishment for doing that will not be pretty.
Happy Birthday by the way!
Author's Response: Thank you :) And also thank you very much for the comments :D I really appreciate it!
Well, you will see :D
Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31 ~ Thou Must Run From Him. And Me ~
This was tragic....and cruel...to both of them. Heartrending.
I am loving this story. It is very addictive, and I have to say how much I am loving Vanimórë too. I am really invested in him now, I can't wait for the end of the Ring War when hopefully he will be free..........hopefully??
It is a sign of a good writer I think when they can get you to engage in one of their own characters. I have read many stories which would have been good except them have OCs I just don't care about, who aren't interesting .
To be able to create your own person who is gripping and exciting to read about and who the reader cares about takes a real gift with words and ability to convey emotion to the reader.
Loving it!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I have been surprised, over the years, how readers have come to be invested in Vanimórë. When I began posting, back in 07, I didn't think any-one would even read the story. But he came to me one day, and his story, as a fully-fledged character, and it seemed all I had to do was write him.
OC's in fic tend to be seen as surplus to requirement - at least male OC's, as there is a sufficiency of stunning canon males in Tolkien, but I knew nothing about fanfic 'do's and don't's' back then, so I just got on with writing. I am so pleased to hear you like him :)
Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 33 ~ Silent Guardian ~
He saw himself for what he was. Elgalad saw a lie.
I think Vanimórë is wrong. It is Elgalad who sees him for what he truly is.
Author's Response: Unfortunately, I don't think Vanimórë will ever see himself as he truly is :( In fact with the ultimate ending I have planned, I am sure he does not :\
Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 48: Chapter 48 ~ No Haven From Hate ~
Oh no! I am hating on Malthador at the moment. But also......you know, Legolas should have picked this treatment of Elgalad up before now. I guess he didn't imagine it possible but I still think he should have done more investigating.
Will Tindomion work this one out? Will they get Elgalad back before he gets himself into serious trouble??
Shame on you Legolas! You should have paid more attention?
Author's Response: I think the thing about Elgalad was that he was lovely, and very loving, but he was very reserved about himself - it was part of hiding that Vanimórë had anything to do with Sauron, (not so much because it might effect him, but he couldn't bear the thought that any-one might think badly of Vanimórë) and it spread to him being not very forthcoming about anything very much, so whatever was going on with him with Malthador, he wouldn't speak about it, especially as he thought no-one ever did. And Legolas has his own duties - and was used to Elgalad's reticence, so no he didn't pick it up.
Date: February 06, 2015 Title: Chapter 51: Chapter 51 ~ Hallowed Ground ~
Legolas and Glorfindel??!
Somehow I think I should have picked that one up before now but it slipped past me!
Author's Response: Really that story would come into the one I plan to write about Elgalad's life in the forest, as he was there a long time, but as this isn't 'their' story, it's not gone into much.
Date: February 08, 2015 Title: Chapter 54: Chapter 54 ~ The Edge Of Doom ~
What happened with Glorfindel and Vanimórë ?
Did they have a fling? I have been wondering that for awhile now but if so...did I miss it??
Author's Response: Well, we know they meet in this in the Last Alliance, as Van was a captured POW for a few years, but the main meat of that is in Magnificat I. :)
Date: February 04, 2015 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 ~ I Will Not Break ~
This is riveting. I am really enjoying it so far. Just wanted to tell you that. I am curious why, given his parentage and the deprivation if his childhood Vanimórë is so determinedly "good " at this stage anyway. He has all these characteristics being capable of love, kindness, empathy to others, caring..... Presumably from His mother as he has never seen any of them demonstrated in his upbringing to learn them. Is there part of him that is Sauron too? The flash of uncontrollable anger when he realised what must have happened to his trainer felt like it was and his iron will and determination. I hope he doesn't lose the gentler aspects of himself.
Author's Response: Hello, Cheekybeak - thank you for reading. Van is open to love and compassion solely because of his sister, whom he tries to look after and protect as much as he can. But there is something of Sauron in him too, of course. Sauron thinks, much later, that they're actually very much alike, and they are quite alike in the way their minds work. Van is capable of cruelty, but whereas Sauron is empathic without caring, Van does care.
Date: February 04, 2015 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 ~ Tempering The Steel
Why does Vanimórë not escape when he is with the Easterlings? Am I missing something? Or is it just because he believes he has nowhere to go?
Author's Response: He can't escape. He's not just a slave of the Dark, he's Sauron's own flesh and blood, so Sauron can always call him back. I believe that is shown in a few more chapters. The only time he can be free is when Sauron is completely 'gone'.
Date: February 04, 2015 Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8 ~ Son, Or Slave ~
I thought all along that Sauron might have had more success with Vanimórë if he had tried to control him with love, (of a sort anyway, or at least the illusion of love) which can be just as strong a form of control as fear and despair. But he didn't he went with the fear and hatred, perhaps because he himself was controlled by Melkor?
It is interesting to see here a flash of what might have been though if Vanimórë was a willing partner/ cooperative son rather than a slave secretly fighting against that being done to him. I wonder if that will change in the future?
I find the thought Vanimórë lives without hope, completely resigned to only being able to resist but never win, so crushingly depressing. How can anyone live for long without even so much as a fragment of hope?

Ah, well -- that would be going into spoiler territory, so I can't really say much about that! d;-) But basically Sauron did not want Van soft. He was making a weapon, and you don't forge weapons with love and kind words; you use heat and cold and hammer blows.
I find the thought Vanimórë lives without hope, completely resigned to only being able to resist but never win, so crushingly depressing. How can anyone live for long without even so much as a fragment of hope?
Because the alternative was worse. There were times he could have a little freedom under Sauron (and sometimes a lot of freedom, as there were times Sauron was very diminished), but if he were dead, and pulled into the Everlasting Dark to be tormented by Melkor for ever, he would never be able to escape at all. It's the epitome of being between a rock and a hard place.
Date: February 08, 2015 Title: Chapter 61: Chapter 61 ~ Hope Under The Shadow ~
Loved the scene with Legolas and the Mumakil...loved it!!!
Oh you are teasing me with this Glorfindel and Vanimórë stuff! I am dying of curiosity .
Author's Response: Oh you are teasing me with this Glorfindel and Vanimórë stuff! I am dying of curiosity
Well, I think looking at that chapter you have not far to go until the end so then, if you wanted, you could read Magnificat I, where it is gone into in more detail, because that story ends with the Last Alliance, where Van was a POW. But I am afraid that is not until the end of that fic. :\
Lol, Legolas and the Mumak. I don't usually go with film over book, but that was fun, so I wanted to add it :)
Date: February 10, 2015 Title: Chapter 73: Chapter 73 ~ The Beginning ~
So Glorfindel is a Vala.....bonus for Legolas!!
I read the last few chapters of this very quickly because they were SO thrilling. This ending left me surprised . I didn't see anything like this coming.
I think Vanimórë has it wrong though. I don't think Elgalad is all that saved him from the dark...if anything at the end Elgalad, well his love for Elgalad, pushed him closer to darkness, with the way he killed the rapist and Elgalads Mirkwood elf tormentor. I think Vanimórë resists the darkness with all of himself and he has shown that so many times, he doesn't need Elgalad to do that.
I don't believe his parentage means he is somehow inately meant to be evil. Sauron wasn't always evil, He wasn't created as an evil being.
Of course Vanimórës upbringing and experiances could mean he tends towards darkness , who could blame him, I guess it is a nature vs nurture argument. But he has shown time and time again he will resist that.
He is punishing himself when he has no need to by resisting Elgalad, ( and punishing Elgalad too in a way by denying what he most obviously wants). This was very thought provoking.
P.s. I know he wasn't meant to but Maglor made me laugh in the last few chapters, the way he kept popping his head round the corner to say " I will Kill you" and Vanimórë was " yes, ok, just not right now.." I giggled everytime!
Author's Response: I know he wasn't meant to but Maglor made me laugh in the last few chapters, the way he kept popping his head round the corner to say " I will Kill you" and Vanimórë was " yes, ok, just not right now.." I giggled everytime!
lol, yes, that was sort of supposed to be more amusing than not. I actually kind of love Van and Maglor's relationship.
Actually Elgalad is - yes, you're right that his purpose is not really to keep Van from becoming another Morgoth, but Van thinks that's what he does. He can't ever see that he himself has a great deal of integrity. But as for impaling Elgalad's rapist, that was a punishment for rapists in Sud Sicanna, when he ruled there, which was for about 1000 years, and he would not have seen it as overly cruel, but as justice.
Van has always been part of this time-spanning game, and even he does not know that yet. Elgalad is - well, we only get hints, tiny hints, in Magnificat III, I think, but his love does mean something.
Thank you for reading.

~ It was said that Fëanor had little love for his half-brothers, yet Fingolfin followed him to betrayal and, ultimately, to death in single combat against Morgoth.
There were many lies handed down through the ages, and this lie covered something so forbidden and irresistible that no law could forbid it, neither could death or doom destroy it.
The Arc of Fire, the blazing thread connecting the houses of Fëanor and Fingolfin encompassed three generations and thousands of years. It began in Valinor, in the Years of the Trees.
This is a prologue to Lords Of The Light, and set within the Dark Prince verse.
Fëanaro's aura was hard and as brilliant as forge-heated gems.
"And wilt thou indeed follow me?" he whispered.

Date: February 02, 2015 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 ~ A Flame Too Bright ~
I have embarked upon your stories. I was unsure where to start so picked this one because you said. Chronologically it was first but also Encairion has me longing for more Feanor and Fingolfin and oh, this didn't disappoint! So Hot. They are an irresistible combination.
I see I will have to get to grips with all their alternative names. Because I have only just read the Silm and not many Silmarillion stories I really only know the Sindarin names and not all the others so sometimes keeping track of who was who was challenging!
I loved all of this. It has hooked me in already . I especially like the description of a sleeping Fëanor as a panther.
Nerdanel I found very sad. I always find her story sad, as a mother the thought of her losing all four of her sons I find especially tragic. But here the saddest thing was her willingness to abandon her sexuality simply because the Valar told her to. To deny that whole portion of herself....... what a shame. I can get how a changed relationship and maybe lack of respect from Fëanor may have dampened her desires for him but she seems to have decided she simply isn't allowed any sexual desire at all with anyone. What a tragedy.
If you could give me a suggestion about which story I should read after this one it would be much appreciated!!
Date: February 02, 2015 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 ~ The Imprint Of Power ~
I was going to comment about Anairës loss of desire but then I saw your note. I will have to wait to see what is going on there. It feels like either complete belief in what the Valar have told them or perhaps some meddling by the Valar in their minds somehow.
Fëanor raping Glorfindel shocked me. It was unexpected. I had to find the later chapter you mentioned and read Glorfindels point of veiw before I could even begin to get my head around it. Fëanor believes the end justifies the means. I am afraid I don't agree with him!
Date: February 02, 2015 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 ~ A Jealous Burning ~
I am conflicted! I can't work Fëanor out.... Does he love Fingolfin or is it just lust, desire and wish for control and power? I cannot make my mind up.
Maglor is right though and Fëanor should have listened to him, I don't think he took him seriously, but Fingolfin is not someone to be toyed with. He is not Glorfindel to be bent to Fëanor's will. He has his own fire and strenght different from Fëanor certainly but Fëanor pushed him too far here.
We know with Fingolfin it is more than mere desire, he loves Fëanor. But Fëanor.....well I wonder if he even knows himself. I want to think there is love there, his reaction, charging after Fingolfin with a sword, was not a calculated and cunning one but one of passion. He was hurt and betrayed I think and that doesn't speak to me of simply wishing to manipulate someone.
Maybe I am kidding myself and he has just been playing Fingolfin all along!
Author's Response: He does love Fingolfin. When I write about these two later, after they have been re-born - well, there is still a lot of pride, but there is love, too. And Fingolfin does not bend so easily to his half-brother as he did before. The trouble is Fëanor never said, back in this time, that he loved Fingolfin. I suppose he thought it was obvious.
Basically, what comes up in later stories was that the Valar were trying to push Fëanor into madness for years, and his putting a sword to Fingolfin's breast was all to do with that. It is said that - something I mentioned on one of Encairion's reviews that incest is something gods may do, but humans may not aspire to, and Fëanor was challenging that. With his mind, his passions, his sense of possessiveness and jealousy, he was easier in many ways to influence than Fingolfin, since genius is not always 'stable'. It was the Valar who also influenced him to mistrust Fingolfin and leave him in Araman. When Finwë was killed, Fëanor in grief, was almost too easy to influence and from then until he died he was, to all intents and purposes, actually insane. :(
I have a fic on here which is for gap-fillers, and includes stories about these two, if you ever want to read them (although the most of it is in Magnificat II and III)

Ah, I feel sad knowing time is already running out for these two.
Fëanor seems completely mad. Of course he is, but still there is truth to be found in his madness.
I like the idea that the Valar tried to change the Eldar. Bending and forcing them to their will with their laws constraining the Eldars natural behaviour. I wonder though why the Eldar went along with it in the first place. Finwë and others would have grown up living a different life, a freer life. What was it that made them so eager to drop all that and conform? Simply the light of the trees? It seems strange it took until Fëanor arrived on the scene for them to start to rebel. It seems strange how much they gave up in the first place.

Hi there, Cheekybeak, nice to see you!
Not just the light of the trees - there was Utumno and the 'shadow-shapes' that haunted the hills about Cuiviénen, the Elves that vanished - taken away to Melkor's great fortress. Then there was the war in the North when the Valar came down on Utumno.
I think the leaders of the Elves believed they were taking their people to a safer place. Which there is no doubt Valinor was. I can see why they did it, dazzled by the Valar and the Light, but not realizing what they would give up. And it was not long before Fëanor was born. I believe Fëanor was the physical manifestation of the Flame Imperishable, and that he was supposed to be born, that Eru desired it, and in the future, when he is re-embodied, he will truly show what he is, and bring down the Valar. I can't wait to write that. But at this time, he was a threat to them. They had to control him, and couldn't. It is not surprising that with all those minds twisting his, he ended up mad!
Thank you for your review :)

~ At the end of the Third Age, Glorfindel and Vanimórë, son of Sauron, are the supreme Powers on Arda, having passed through Fos Almir, the Bath of Flame.
The mighty dead have returned, and Glorfindel leads the Noldor to a haven in the east of Middle-earth, which they call their New Cuiviénen. Fëanor, released from the Void, will rule there as High King.
But the ancient loves, hates and feuds of the Noldor have not dimmed or been forgotten with the ages, and their new life becomes a tinder-box of passion, pride and power. Ancient dooms and betrayals arise, and both new and ancient notes of the Great Music are played across the Fourth Age of Arda.
Fëanor felt his sons' arms restraining him, heard their voices, but his eyes remained locked on those of Námo.
"Didst thou truly believe – any of you – that thou couldst judge me?" He burned fire back at their stainless chill and then, scornfully, he laughed.

Oh! You surprised me with this. I did not see it coming. Celegorm and Finrod! But it makes perfect sense of Celegorm's actions, that bitter hate borne of rejection, nothing cuts deeper.
I REALLY want Finrod to Come back now. I did already but now even more so. But Celegorm hasn't forgiven him for......? Well, I don't think Finrod did that much wrong really. If anyone should understand not breaking an oath it should be Celegorm, and the fact Finrod was determined to sacrifice his own happiness so as not to hurt his father, again Celegorm should understand that. It was misguided but if anyone knows about misguidedly doing what your father wants it should be a Feanorian!
I want these two together and I think Finrod is ready to accept that side of himself now, but he is not ready to forgive Celegorm and Celegorm doesn't seem like he is ready to acknowledge the wrongness of what he did at all.
I am eager to see what happens. It will be rather a shock for Glorfindel who has his own Celegorm issues as well.

Author's Response: Ah, I love it when that happens - when my own passion shows in my writing, I mean :) Thank you so much for your comment! It is coming together - sort of!
Date: April 14, 2015 Title: Chapter 42: Chapter 42 ~ To The Fires Of The Year's End ~
Oh I have a bad feeling about this. The Balrog AND Celegorm going off hunting on his own in the north..... the fool!!

Aargh!!! I was right! ....... Finrod will save him.... Surely!
And I have to go and cook tea so I can't read any further. So cruel.
And why isn't Glorfindel answering?? Hopefully just temporarily distracted.
Author's Response: Glorfindel is momentarily distracted!
Date: April 15, 2015 Title: Chapter 58: Chapter 58 ~ The Treachery of Kin ~
OMG! Orodreth!? I had no inkling of this. You totally succeeded in distracting me with Borniven. I had forgotten Orodreth was even around let alone a traitor!
I like that Feanor has had his eyes opened here. His horror at the thought Maglor......and Maedhros still believe the silmaril to be more important to him than them. Who can blame them after the oath and everything that followed after.
I don't like Feanor. I am not sure if you want me to or not but he is too arrogant for me to like. His enjoyment at controlling others....
Perhaps this realisation of how his sons see him may improve that. Here's hoping because I would like to see him with Fingolfin properly but not quite as the person he is right now.
But then again..... I find I am quite liking the idea of Fingolfin and Maglor. Maglor needs someone. He has no one right now, Feanor just can't be his and Vanimórë neither. He needs someone just for himself I think!
On to the next..... So gripping!
Author's Response: Orodreth just bores me, and if some-one bores me they stand a very good chance of being made into a villain or ignored completely, lol.
Fëanot would never put a Silmaril before his sons, and never would have, although I think they needed to know this and see it - as did many other people. They can't be blamed for thinking he might have.
I don't think Fëanor changes massively; he's always going to be arrogant, proud, but he loves his sons more than anything in the world.
FDingolfin and Maglor, well they do have a 'thing', although it was never written about in depth, (and what Maglor has with Vanimórë cannot ever be broken) but so many of the house of Finwë are attracted to one another. No-one is exclusively paired in my stories as naturally, Elves were not supposed to be monogamous but the only Elves who have ever lived 'naturally' are the wood-Elves who never knew of the Laws of the Valar. Here, at the moment, the Noldor are just feeling their wings, their new freedom, and it will take time.

The WoW community on Twitter is a wonderful and amazing thing, y'know?
Mooooose is a deferred drop from Heroic Archimonde. Deferred in the sense that he drops a quest item that leads directly to the Mooooose itself.
People on Twitter have taken it upon themselves to organise runs to not only get players their mount, but to also get people geared up enough to be able to partake in an Heroic Archimonde kill to get it.
The typical players that will be looking to make use of this are players that never see Heroic end-game, and in some cases barely ever see normal mode end-game that are being brought along and given a shot at the mount. I say shot, but it's a guaranteed drop since 6.2.3 went live, and will only be hanging around until Legion. Once Legion drops, in about, oh say 10 months from now, it'll presumably be gone for good, just like the Garrosh heirloom drops in Mists.
This is why the WoW community on Twitter are so great. Regardless of faction, region, class or spec, the community has come together to organise these runs to get anyone their gear and their mount.
If you're interested then you can contact the following peeps:
- Horde – EU @Nozzie64
- Alliance – EU @Aston_WoW
- Horde – US @Stephnoob
- Alliance – US @Thomicks
Some of the signups are temporarily closed due to high demand, but keep an eye on the relevant twitter feed for your faction & region for signups opening up again!

Owners of landscaping, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, construction, and similar construction/building services businesses almost always find that GPS tracking of their fleets produces the greatest savings in labor. You might expect that fuel would be a greater savings, but the fact is labor is more expensive than fuel.
So, how do you get the maximum labor savings from GPS tracking?
Use GPS tracking to produce time sheets for your employees!
Here is how to create a time sheet using Rhino Fleet Tracking data:
- Install GPS tracking devices in each vehicle (OBD II or hardwired tracking devices will suffice).
- Weekly (or on whatever schedule you normally accept and process time sheets), run an Hours of Operation report for your fleet. This will give you the start and stop times for the day. If you pay upon arrival at the first stop to departure at the last stop, you may choose to use our Stops report instead (our Customer Service representatives can help you determine which).
- PRODUCE THE TIME SHEETS FOR THE EMPLOYEES – This is critical! In the past, you might have allowed the employee to create a time sheet and you verified it. That left you, the employer, in a position of having to disprove the word of your employee. That's never good for employee morale – even with good employees.
- Share the times sheet with each employee and invite them to verify the hours.
- If the employee identifies no issues, have the employee sign it.
- Pay promptly!
There are very few employers without experience of someone adding "fluff" to a time sheet. We have a dozens of customers that we know use this method of time sheet creation and are saving tons of money doing so.
Great success and savings to you!

monetizing debt
Use monetizing debt in a sentence
" You should try and make sure you are always monetizing debt so that you will be able to hold on to future profits. "
" The devaluation of its currency experienced by the Weimar Republic in the 1920s resulted in it monetizing debt which led hyperinflation. "
" The Federal Reserve was monetizing debt, but all the new printed currency circulating in the world led to an economic recession as increases in inflation surpassed wage increases. "

Another bird-nerd critter post! I have a soft spots for goofy-looking birds and they don't get much goofier than auklets. On our sail to the Arctic in 2015, Seth and I spent several days on St Paul island in the central Bering Sea, binoculars and cameras trained on cliffs full of nesting auklets. It was a toss-up for my favorite, but the Least Auklet was certainly a contender. Continue reading

Arctic Voyage Video: Episode 2
Episode 2 of our Arctic Voyage video series came out on Cruising World magazine's site earlier this month, and now we've just posted it on our YouTube channel. Here it is:
This video covers our first passage north in the Bering Sea, to the windswept but wildlife-rich Pribilof Islands. We were thrilled to get some great footage of puffins and fur seals, and really enjoyed celebrating Fourth of July in what's got to be one of the world's coldest ball-fields!
"There's No Place Like Nome!" Arrival in Nome, AK, July 11, 2015
We arrived in Nome on July 11 after the 460 nautical mile passage from the Pribilofs. The town's slogan is "There's no place like Nome!" and they're certainly onto something – the place is full of character! We got our first taste as soon as we tied up to the dock.
Passage to Nome, Alaska, July 7-11, 2015
With the forecasts predicting moderating SE winds, it was time to leave St Paul Island and head out once more into the Bering Sea. So after saying goodbye to all our new friends, we prepared Celeste for departure and cast off the docklines.
Wind, Foxes, and Birds on St Paul Island, July 5-6, 2015
A huge thank-you to all of you who donated to Seth's cancer fund-raising campaign at http://mobro.co/sethleonard! We really appreciate your support!

COO (interim) & Consultant - Hamburg
Jörg studied biology, specialising in host-pathogen interactions at the intestinal barrier. Scholarships from "The International Max Planck Research School for Infectious Diseases and Immunology" and from Novartis Animal Health allowed him to work in various international research environments. After receiving his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) from the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin in 2012 he spent six postdoc years at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge (UK), working as an immunobiologist. In parallel to his work at the bench Jörg received extensive training on communication and presentation skills early during his career. He also extended his skillset by participating in the UK's 2012 "Biotechnology YES" young entrepreneurs competition, where his team reached the London final. Recognising that in contrast to the drive towards scientific excellence, well-structured and targeted education in personal and professional development was still rare in most settings, he developed a strong interest in advancing this process in the scientific community. To do so, he joined the hfp consulting team in 2013. After his postdoc, Jörg decided to fully pursue his career in the field of personal and professional development of scientists. Still at the Babraham Institute, he coordinated two equality and diversity projects and worked to improve the framework for postdocs, e.g. by establishing a mentoring programme. Jörg is now based in Hamburg, developing the hfp consulting business in Europe and working internationally as a trainer for the company.

Literature on Digital Humanities
Burdick, A. (2012). Digital humanities . Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
digital humanities is born f the encounter between traditional humanities and computational methods.
p. 5. From Humanism to Humanities
While the foundations of of humanistic inquiry and the liberal arts can be traced back in the west to the medieval trivium and quadrivium, the modern and human sciences are rooted in the Renaissance shift from a medieval, church dominated, theocratic world view to be human centered one period the gradual transformation of early humanism into the disciplines that make up the humanities today Was profoundly shaped by the editorial practices involved in the recovery of the corpus of works from classical antiquity
p. 13.
Cultural Analytics, aggregation, and data mining.
The field of cultural Analytics has emerged over the past few years, utilizing tools of high-end computational analysis and data visualization today sect large-scale coach data sets. Cultural Analytic does Not analyze cultural artifacts, but operates on the level of digital models of this materials in aggregate. Again, the point is not to pit "close" hermeneutic reading against "distant" data mapping, but rather to appreciate the synergistic possibilities and tensions that exist between a hyper localized, deep analysis and a microcosmic view

New and Returning Beer
- Heavy Seas Loose Cannon, $2.09/12oz - "Our flagship beer, Loose Cannon wins people over at first smell. The carefully cultivated interplay of Simcoe, Palisade, and Centennial creates a most fragrant IPA - its nose bursts with notes of grapefruit, herbs, and pine. Bitterness is somewhat subdued by the floral quality that pervades the taste. The color is burnished gold, and the mouthfeel is creamy. A strong malt backbone balances out the triple-hopped beer. Its nickname, Hop3, comes from the brewing process: our brewers hop Loose Cannon in the boil, the hopback, and the fermenter. It won a second place CAMRA award at the 2010 Great British Beer Festival" (source).
- Heavy Seas Double Cannon, $2.19/12oz - "Hop aromas blast out of this flavor explosion. Massively dry-hopped, with a balanced malt sweetness, this irresistible force showcases the power of bringing in the extra artillery. Hop cubed - then squared (hop to the sixth)! We've kept the same malt recipe proportions as Loose Cannon, pumped up to 22 Plato (from 16.5) and then doubled the hops. We employed the late addition, whirlpool, hopback, and dry-hopping process that makes Loose Cannon such a flavorful IPA. We've captured the beautiful balance of Loose Cannon but we've doubled the firepower" (source).
- Heavy Seas Peg Leg, $2.19/12oz - "This full-bodied imperial stout pours an opaque mahogany color with a tan head. Its smell is dominated by notes of roasted coffee beans, with a slight hint of chocolate, but Simcoe and Fuggles hops add complexity to the aroma. The roasted barley is detectable in the taste, and this complements the bitterness from the Warrior hops - balancing out the sweetness from the load of malts used in brewing Peg Leg. A creamy mouthfeel makes this a smooth, utterly drinkable beer" (source).
- Heavy Seas Winter Storm, $2.19/12oz - "Winter Storm may be Hugh's favorite beer in the Heavy Seas catalogue. Our winter ale draws on hops from the West Coast and the UK for its pronounced bitterness. A mix of pale and darker malts give it its tawny color and its bigger body. True to the style, Winter Storm's aroma is nutty malts and earthy hops. This is a perfect fall beer, especially because of its warming qualities" (source).
- Atwater Lip Locked, $1.99/12oz - "A full and dark outing, Atwater's Cherry Stout features the malt complexity common to American-Style stout with the tartness, not sweetness of Michigan Cherries. The blend of fully fermented fruit and toasted, nutty malt characters bring forth an elusive cherry wood aroma to the finish" (source).
- Southern Tier Choclat, $4.99/12oz - "The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web of mystery around a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At Southern Tier, we're not surprised that hieroglyphs of the ancient Maya depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the many voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more than a strange currency of the native peoples. Moving through centuries, the circular journey of cacao has been realized in our brewing house, encompassing the complexity of the darkest, bitter-sweet candy together with the original frothy cold beverage of the ancient Maya to bring to you our Blackwater Series Choklat Stout. We have combined the finest ingredients to tempt your senses & renew the power & interrelation of history in every bottle" (source).
- Danny Boy Ginger Wit, $2.99/16oz - "We brew our continuously-hopped, Belgian-inspired Urban Wheat Ale with a blend of Belgian and American yeast. Dry-hopped with Citra – twice – striking a happy balance between the hop and grain builds with soft notes of lemon, coriander and ginger. A naturally filtered Urban wheat Miss Ginger offers a nice, easy-to-drink session ale" (source).
- Danny Boy Training Day, $2.99/16oz - "This American pale ale is 6 percent alcohol by volume, with citrus, centennial and cascade hops in it. This makes for a nice, drinkable APA" (source).
- Danny Boy Rock 'n Rolla, $3.29/16oz - "The Mosaic hops brewed in this beer, gives it a very citrusy, earthy pine, and tropical fruit taste with a hop forward flavor. Though higher in alcohol, the RNR is very well balanced with a smooth bitter grapefruit finish" (source).
- Epic Big Bad Baptist Imperial Stout, $12.99/22oz - "One Big Bad Imperial Stout with Cocoa nibs and Coffee beans. Each season's release uses a different dark roasted coffee" (source).
- Short's Kind Ale, $2.39/12oz (6 per) - "Kind Ale is a beer brewed each fall to celebrate a successful growing season. True to tradition, we commemorate the year's agricultural achievements by using only wet hops in the boil, straight from the fields of Northern Michigan's local hop farms. Local hops impart a dank intensity to this ale. The beer's finish is immensely grassy, bitter, and fresh thanks to a healthy dry hop addition" (source).
- Grand Armory Crop Duster, $1.89/12oz - "Crop Duster is a west coast style IPA using 100% Citra hops for bittering and aroma. Extremely drinkable with great aroma and grapefruit notes" (source).
- Latitude 42 Party at the Moon Tower, $2.29/16oz - "Double IPA" (source).

For older people, Green Party is best known as being the "Ralph Nader Party," and it's only time in the sun (so to speak) was when Nader was the candidate in 2000, and he was blamed for handing Florida, and the election to George W. Bush. Nader denies that vehemently, but he's history now, anyway. Jill Stein has been the presidential candidate in 2012 and this year, but she still leads a misunderstood party. "Aren't they the weirdos who attack fishing boats?"
As the "Green" name suggests, the party fights for environmental causes, but they are more than that. But first, let's see why the party is not just Ralph Nader anymore, according to the Inquisitr.
1. The Internet Has Changed Everything. The chief factor keeping the Democrats and Republicans in charge of everything in America is the billions and billions of dollars in free advertising from the mainstream media. . .
2. The Sanders Campaign Changed Everything. Forever. . . In 2016, it is no longer a legitimate thing to say that a progressive outsider cannot win. . .There have been models put forth that had Sanders winning a three-way race against Trump and Clinton. . .
3. Two Historically Unpopular Candidates. . . Google searches for third-party candidates skyrocketed 1,150 percent last week as voters began to come to terms with the dismal choice that's being imposed upon them, and it's got the Democrats scared. . .
4. #NeverTrump. If there's one thing progressives and moderate Democrats can come together on, it's that Donald Trump would be a terrible president. . .looking for another candidate to keep Trump out. If Jill Stein picks up steam, she will be that candidate.
5. People Are Energized. . . when the heartbreak of watching their beloved Bernie shuffle back to the Senate finally clears, they're going to be aggressively energized, already organized, and expertly experienced from the Bernie campaign. . .
6. First Woman President. Come on.. .Every Berniecrat in America has felt a twinge of sorrow for not being able to get behind a woman candidate. And now we can! A female candidate who hasn't devoted her life to propping up all the sickest aspects of patriarchy. . .
7. People Will Fall In Love With Jill Stein. Ralph Nader is a good man, a hard-working man, and the Greens loved his platform, but he was never beloved as a person. Jill Stein is charming, witty, compassionate, intelligent, and delightful.
The Green Party has seen more enthusiasm than ever, according to Politico, and could do better if they'd stop being so "kooky."
There are a lot of people that could be — affectionately or unaffectionately — referred to as kooks. The kook-ism is what most people know the party for. Stein hasn't gone out of her way to help that reputation, with statements about vaccines and the dangers of wireless internet.
Julian Assange spoke to the convention on a livestream, from the Ecuadorean embassy where he's avoiding rape charges, to express his opinion that the choice between Trump and Clinton was like a choice between "cholera and gonorrhea." The party's vice presidential nominee, Ajamu Baraka, has a long history of fringe statements and beliefs, like his opinion that the Malaysian airliner shot down over Ukraine looked like a "false flag" operation.
The real problem for third-party candidates is that they don't get enough votes to make a difference. Then, the media use that as an excuse not to cover them, and that's why they don't get votes, and the cycle repeats.
Roughly two-thirds of U.S. adults are unfamiliar with third-party presidential candidates Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party and Jill Stein of the Green Party. . . The results are based on a July 13-17 Gallup poll, conducted before the Republican and Democratic national conventions. It is unclear what impact, if any, those conventions have had on views of the Libertarian and Green Party candidates, who receive far less media attention than Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. . .
For the most part, third-party candidates have not been especially popular, even among Americans who are familiar with them. Only Ralph Nader in 2000 had significantly higher favorable (42%) than unfavorable (22%) ratings, in a year when he won nearly 3% of the national popular vote. . .
Johnson and Stein are. . .better known than many past third-party candidates, including some who ran on the Libertarian and Green Party tickets. But they are not nearly as well-known as [Ross] Perot and Nader, the third-party candidates who won the greatest share of the vote in recent elections.
. . . the 2016 campaign has already deviated from the historical playbook with a political outsider claiming the Republican nomination and both parties nominating candidates whom the American public views more negatively than positively, even after their nominating conventions. Thus, if more voters dissatisfied with Trump and Clinton choose to register their displeasure by voting for a third-party candidate rather than voting for the "lesser of two evils," this year's third-party candidates could surpass their parties' vote totals in prior elections.
Polls suggest that most young people will "hold their nose" and vote for Clinton, because they're afraid of Trump. Others will "vote their conscience," and go with Stein. But there's also a likelihood that many young people will just not vote.
Other Sanders Democrats and n on-Trump Republicans might not show up to vote, as Sanders campaign uniquely appealed to a demographic that not only traditionally exhibits poor levels of voter turnout, but also one that Clinton typically struggles with: millennials.
Millennials, in addition to other disaffected slices of the population, may abstain from voting altogether. The average number of respondents who have checked not voting in all publicly available polls since March is 5.8 percent. During this timeframe over the past three election cycles, the average was much lower ranging between 1.52 to 3.57 percent.
Despite some polls showing up to 90% of Bernie fans now supporting Hillary, FiveThirtyEight says a full one-third are still undecided.
Without third-party candidates, Clinton was already doing much better with Bernie's fans. Still, the convention helped: She moved from 79 percent up to 91 percent among Sanders supporters in CNN's polls, 68 percent to 75 percent per Marist, and 59 percent to 65 percent in YouGov's surveys.
But the sizable portion of Sanders supporters defecting from Clinton when given other options could still be a problem for the Clinton campaign if the election tightens.
As we noted elsewhere, Libertarian Gary Johnson's main focus is to garner 15% in the national polls, so that he can be included in the presidential debates, and have a real platform for his views. Likewise, the Green Party's Jill Stein can't really expect to win, but the party has stated that if they can get 5% of the vote in November, that will give them public financing in 2020—with the hope to get the same 15%, then, that Johnson seeks this year.
Of course, the major parties will warn that the third-party candidates are just "spoilers," who can't win, but can destroy the chances of one of the major candidates. To counter this argument, the Libertarians and Greens are focusing on trying to get votes in "deep blue" and "deep red" states, where the major candidates can't lose. Voters in those states already feel that their vote "doesn't matter," so they may want to put their vote where it really can count.

"The difference between science and technology is the ability to engineer your surroundings to your own ends, and not just explain them. In the Second Quantum Revolution, we are now actively employing quantum mechanics to alter the quantum face of our physical world. We are transforming it into highly unnatural quantum states of our own design, for our own purpose. For example, in addition to explaining the periodic table, we can make new artificial atoms—quantum dots and excitons—which we can engineer to have electronic and optical properties of our own choosing. We can create states of quantum coherent or entangled matter and energy that likely existed nowhere else in the Universe. These new man-made quantum states have novel properties of sensitivity and nonlocal correlation that have wide application to the development of computers, communications systems, sensors and compact metrological devices."

If UFOs are real, they show not only what is possible, but what is actual. That's a big "if" of course. It's possible all the talk of aliens is a mass delusion.
