City's 20 years come full circle in festival performance
August 29, 2014
By Christina Corrales-Toy
When 2014 Newcastle Days performer Gil René looks in the mirror, it doesn't quite reflect the image of himself that he has built in his mind.
"In my head, I'm still a 20-year-old rocker with shoulder-length hair and a small waist," he joked.
Gone are the long tresses, but his pierced ear serves as a reminder of his days in the rock 'n' roll scene. The longtime Newcastle resident continues to strap on his guitar and put on a show, though, when it doesn't interfere with his day job as a security camera professional.
His performance at the 2014 Newcastle Days festival represents a full-circle moment in the city's history. René's band played at a Lake Boren Park celebration in honor of the city's incorporation 20 years ago.
He'll take the park stage solo this time, but the bookend nature of his appearance, as the city celebrates 20 years, is not lost on him.
"Seeing Newcastle grow and change and develop so much, it's the same place it was 20 years ago, but yet it's not," he said. "It's good to kind of stop and take a look around now and then and that's, I think, the best thing about anniversaries."
René has been singing since he was "knee-high to a bar stool." Born in Canada, he moved to Rochester, New York, when he was 7.
He inherited his musical talent from his father, but it was a crush on a guitar-playing girl that prompted him to pick up the instrument.
"That was my way to try and get next to her," he said. "Didn't get anywhere with her, but I did learn to play guitar from it."
René spent much of his young adulthood with bands, attempting to make a mark in the professional music industry. It didn't pan out for him, but he has no regrets.
"Did the typical bar scene that every wannabe rock star plays," he said. "Grew my hair down to my shoulders, then disco came around and clubs were folding left and right."
Music eventually became more of a hobby than a profession. He has been in a few bands and played at events such as the Bite of Seattle, Newcastle's Concerts in the Park and Newcastle Days.
When René hits the stage, he's all about the show. He interacts with the audience and doesn't worry about mistakes. With his booming voice, he probably doesn't even need a microphone, but he'll use one, and he'll have you in stitches between songs as he effortlessly drops his brand of self-deprecating humor.
"I like to do a mix of what I call classic unplugged rock," he said. "I throw in original songs and will do some Eagles and Tom Petty."
René takes the Lake Boren Park stage at 1 p.m. Sept. 6. His set will also be a goodbye of sorts, as he's moving away from his Windtree neighborhood after more than 20 years in Newcastle.
He'll miss living in the city and his neighbors, he said, so he's determined to give them one final awesome show.
"I can't imagine not performing," he said. "I'll play and sing as long as I possibly can, whether or not anybody's listening, but it's nicer when somebody's listening."

Everything you should know about Easter day,Easter Sunday Holiday 2016
This Year Easter Day is on 27th March 2016. Easter Day, Easter Holiday, Easter Sunday, Is Easter a pagan Holiday, Why Do we call it Easter? Easter Day Story, Easter Day History
What is Easter Sunday?
Many Christians celebrate Easter Sunday as the day of the Jesus Christ's resurrection, which is written in New Testament of the Christian Bible. According to the Gospel of John, in the New Testament, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb where the Jesus was buried and they found it empty. An angel told her that the Jesus had risen.
Is Easter a pagan holiday?
The truth is that the Easter day has nothing to do with the resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ. We also know that the Easter holiday can be as much as the three weeks away from the Passover because the pagan holiday is always set as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring.
Why do we call it Easter?
The fact of the matter is that no one knows that for sure, but our best bet comes from the Bede, who was a late-seventh-century historian and also a scholar from Anglo-Saxon England. He also says Easter's name comes from the Anglo-Saxon Goddess Eostre, associated with the spring and the fertility, and is celebrated around the vernal equinox.
What Is Easter?
On the Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ. It is typically the most and well-attended Sunday service of the year for the Christian churches.
Christians believe that according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or it was also believed that he had raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by Crucifixion is commemorated on the Good Friday, always on the Friday just before the Easter. Through his death, burial, and his resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for his sin, thus purchasing for all those who believe him in, eternal life in the Christ Jesus.
The Easter story – Easter History
Jesus had many enemies who wanted to be get rid of him. Jesus knew that he had only a short interval of time left. The Thursday before Jesus died, Jesus invited the disciples to have supper with him. It was their last meal all together.
"Remember me," Jesus told them, "when you eat bread and drink the wine. I am going to live with my Father in the heaven, but I will be with you wherever you go."
On Friday, soldiers arrested Jesus and nailed him to the cross. Jesus said to God that Father, forgive them. They don't know what they do. When Jesus died, his friends placed his body in a cave and covered the cave entrance with a big rock.
On Sunday, a friend of Jesus named Mary Magdalene went to that cave. The rock had been rolled away and the cave was empty! An angel appeared and said: "Peace is with you. Jesus had risen from the dead!"
Jesus came back to visit his friends. He told them to teach about God's love. "Tell the people," said Jesus, "to believe in me even if they can't see me." And then Jesus went up to heaven to live with his Father.
That's all What is Easter all about.

Denton is a college town, home to two major universities, so it's no surprise that UNT on the Square gallery welcomes an exhibition from the "Dean of Texas painting," artist Frank Reaugh (1860-1945). The gallery presents Frank Reaugh: Master of Pastels and the Plains of Texas, a collection of Reaugh's work and personal items, from private letters and sketches to his more famous impressionistic paintings of the wide Texas cattle lands.
The Texas transplant was born in Illinois but moved with his parents by covered wagon to a farm near Terrell as a teenager. Inspired by the Lone Star state's rustic landscapes, at age 30, Reaugh (pronounced Ray) opened his art studio, The Ironshed, in Oak Cliff.
There he taught art classes (later he opened the Dallas School of Fine Arts) and built up his body of work, both pastel works and oil paintings, which capture Texas plains and pastures with haunting accuracy. The exhibition includes large paintings of the Llano Estacado, the Brazos Valley and even a portrait of his favorite horse.
The exhibition also features a display case full of memorabilia from the artist's life, including two boxes of chalk pastels that span the color spectrum. Next to them lie pictures of the artist with some of his students, whom he took on long sketching expeditions to West Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the Observer's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Dallas's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
At the top of the case sits a portrait of Reaugh with a quote underneath that reads, "... The steer and the cowboy have gone. The range has been fenced and plowed and the beauty of the early days is but a memory." With his paintings, Reaugh hoped to immortalize the untainted Texas landscape.
Those not native to Texas will appreciate his talent, those who are will get a pinch of nostalgia when they browse the exhibition. Whether you're looking at Reaugh's interpretation of a colorful sunset in a stretching panorama or his painting of a cattle drive over a sun-scorched Texas prairie, this collection evokes a yearning for a simpler time when ranchers ruled the open range.
Frank Reaugh: Master of Pastels and the Plains of Texas is on display through October 1. UNT on the Square is open from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free. Call 940-369-8257 or visit untonthesquare.unt.edu for more information.

Web Scraping for Finance
As companies become more data-driven, an increasing number of use cases are set up where the need to step beyond internal data sources – including publicly available open data, data provided by data brokers, and data stemming from API's – becomes more apparent. However, the "holy grail" of rich data lies within the wider World Wide Web, as the Internet contains a treasure trove of unstructured data that can be extracted and included in subsequent analysis and decision making processes.
As such, web scraping – the extraction, conversion and management of data from the web – is undergoing a revival. It can be used to extract and scrutinize companies' financial statements allowing for a more comprehensive assessment of their risk and performance metrics; to scrape massive amounts of data from news to rebalance investment portfolios; to perform competitor analysis; etc.
This intensive, hands-on course covers the definitions and history of web scraping, as well as exploring its current applications and examples from the financial domain. Practical, real-life workshops using Python programming language are applied and results are compared with available commercial products. The links between web scraping and other data science techniques (e.g. web crawling, artificial intelligence, text mining and robotic process automation) are also examined.
The programme concludes by addressing managerial and legal aspects, concerns and challenges that need to be taken into account when setting up web scraping initiatives.Recommend to a Colleague

Outcome of critically ill hyperglycemic stroke patients admitted to the intensive care unit

Source of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: None
IntroductionIt has been suggested that admission hyperglycemia is a marker of extensive brain damage. Despite these observations, studies that have examined the relationship between glucose levels and the outcome after stroke in diabetic and nondiabetic patients have reported conflicting results.AimWe evaluated data on stroke patients admitted to the intensive care department to estimate the influence of hyperglycemia on the short-term mortality in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients.Patients and methodsA total of 100 consecutive adult patients with stroke admitted to the ICU were studied over a period of 28 months. The patients were followed up for 28 days until discharge from the hospital or until death, whichever occurred first. The patients were divided into three broad groups, on the basis of fasting blood glucose or random sugar and HbA1c to rule out undetected diabetes patients.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the stroke subtype or the baseline stroke severity between diabetic (group 3) and hyperglycemic (group 2) patients. Also, there was no significant association between the stroke severity and the glycosylated hemoglobin level in group 2 and group 3 (r = 0.26, P = 0.4; r = 0.19, P = 0.31; respectively). With regard to an excellent outcome of stroke, which was measured by the modified Rankin scale (0-1), there was no significant difference between group 2 and group 3. The unadjusted risk ratio was 1.85 (95% confidence interval 0.52-4.41) for group 2, whereas it was 1.25 (95% confidence interval 0.7 6-4.3) in group 3. Nondiabetic patients with hyperglycemia had a 1.6 times higher relative risk of in-hospital 28-day mortality than diabetic patients. There were four nonsurvivors (11%) out of 36 patients in the control nondiabetic (group 1), whereas eight (26%) of 31 patients died in group 2, which was statistically significant when compared with group 1 (P = 0.02). However, six nonsurvivors (18%) of 33 in group 3 when compared with group 2 was statistically significant (P = 0.04).ConclusionOur current study showed that nondiabetic patients with hyperglycemia had a 1.6 times higher relative risk of in-hospital 28-day mortality than diabetic patients. Stress hyperglycemia predicts an increased risk of in-hospital mortality after ischemic stroke; thus, we should not underestimate the potential harm, as patients with the highest admission glucose levels would have most likely been treated earlier and more aggressively.

Mars lander showed a human side, so fans took 'death' personally, Arizona Star
"What began as a way for people to stay engaged with the mission during its landing over Memorial Day weekend soon morphed into a phenomenon in which those working on educating the public about the mission were posing as the lander itself, responding with a distinct voice and personality. "It certainly evolved," Veronica McGregor, a spokeswomen for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory who crafted the "voice" of Phoenix, said of the lander's online personality. "We really thought that this would be a nice way for people to keep up with the mission, but we didn't expect this kind of response. ... Writing on Gizmodo, McGregor tried to rationalize Phoenix's demise."
Editor's note: I asked Veronica McGregor if she could provide me links to NASA's versions of these articles on Gizmodo. Given that she works for NASA PAO, her writings as part of her PAO activities are in the public domain. Despite several email requests, she never responded to my request for the text - or provided a reason why NASA never linked to these articles she wrote.
Editor's update: After three emails spanning 11 days (with others at NASA PAO cc:ed), and a posting on NASA Watch, Veronica finally replied telling me where the stories I had requested were posted. It would seem that they were added just yesterday since Google has yet to even index them. Yet they were provided (exclusively) to Gizmodo more than a week and a half ago.
Veronica regularly uses her Twitter page in the course of her official NASA PAO duties. In this instance she provides a Wired reporter with some information. In this case she updates people on her other JPL PAO chores. Here, in her official NASA PAO mode, she is promoting a positive story. Here she responds to a media inquiry. Here she tells the LA Times where to find something. And here she corrects an incorrect URL at JPL's website for the extrasolar planet press release last week. And so on.
Veronica allows several space news bloggers and journalists to follow her Twitter page. As such, they are able to get these official NASA PAO responses and updates instantly on their own Twitter feeds and also interact with her for NASA PAO activities. However, Veronica has specifically blocked me from following this Twitter page. As such, some bloggers and journalists are shown favoritism for updates whereas others are not afforded the same level of access to JPL PAO. Despite multiple email requests that she explain why I am blocked or what NASA's criteria is for such action, Veronica has simply refused to respond. Indeed, until today, the website her Twitter page pointed to was NASA JPL.
I am not suggesting that every NASA employee's private Twitter page be forcibly open to anyone to follow. Not at all. Rather, if NASA employees use their Twitter pages - or other social networking sites - as part of their work at NASA (especially PAO!), they cannot decide which taxpayers have access and which ones do not. If NASA employees want to use Twitter for both personal and work-related information dissemination, the answer is simple: get one Twitter page for work, and another for non-work. It only takes a few minutes to do.
This nonresponsiveness and blatant favortism exhibited by NASA JPL PAO's Veronica McGregor is not in the best interests of NASA or the taxpayers who pay its bills.
Additional thoughts
As an American taxpayer, Veronica works for me. She does not get to decide which taxpayers she gives preferential access to for information and which ones she does not. If she wants to Twitter about work issues - as part of her PAO job - fine. If she wants to Twitter about personal stuff - fine. But she cannot mix both and then deny me access to her official work because she has decided to mix it in with her personal stuff. She is *required* to be transparent and to provide services without bias or preference. Period.
Personally, I'd like to see every NASA employee using Twitter and other social networking tools to both spread knowledge and gain input as to how to make things work better. But in so doing, people need to recall that speaking or posting in one's capacity as a NASA employee - even after hours - carries with it some personal and professional responsibilities. With freedom comes responsibility. NASA employees would get all upset if NASA sought to speak on their behalf as individuals. The opposite is true as well.
And to those of you who seem to lack the reading skills to understand what I wrote, let me state emphatically (as I did multiple times on NASA Watch) that I have been Veronica's biggest fan with regard to her Mars Phoenix Twittering and outreach - often to the point where I got a lot of snarky email telling me that Twitter and other tools are useless. Clearly they are not.

Three Notre Dame Athletes Named to GTE/CoSIDA Academic District V Fall/Winter At-Large Team
NOTRE DAME, Ind. — Ice hockey standout STEVE NOBLE (Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario) and soccer players RYAN TURNER (Scottsdale, Ariz.) and JENNY STREIFFER (Baton Rouge, La.) have been selected to the GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-District V Fall/Winter At-Large team. The three are now eligible for national honors which will be announced in April.
NOBLE, a second team selection to the GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America team a year ago, owns a 3.952 grade point average and will graduate in May with a degree in finance. The first three-year captain in the program's history, the senior helped the Irish to an 18-19-4 mark during the 1997-98 campaign while contributing 25 points.
A Rhodes Scholar finalist, NOBLE's GPA ranks among the top five in Notre Dame's Business School. He also was one of 12 Notre Dame students to receive the Campus Leadership Award in 1997 and in addition was one of five finalists for the national Hockey Humanitarian Award. NOBLE has been named to the Dean's List during all seven semesters he has been at Notre Dame.
TURNER was the leading scorer on the Irish men's soccer team as he finished with 12 goals and five assists (29 points). A forward, he had three game-winning goals in 1997 and recorded his first career hat trick in Notre Dame's 4-3 victory over TCU. A co-captain in '97, TURNER, who helped the Irish to a 10-9-2 record, garnered second team all-BIG EAST honors and also was a second-team National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) in the Mideast Region.
He will graduate in May from the College of Business Administration with a degree in finance. TURNER was a member of the BIG EAST Academic All-Star team for the 1996-97 school year and has earned Dean's List distinction all seven semesters.
STREIFFER, a sophomore, tied for team-high scoring honors and ranked among the top 10 nationally in scoring with 20 goals and 18 assists. She started 22 of 23 games for Notre Dame which finished the '97 campaign with a 23-1-1 record while advancing to the NCAA national semifinals for the fourth consecutive year.
STREIFFER, a midfielder, is the quickest Irish women's soccer player to reach the 100-point plateau and in 49 game has 124 career points. She tied a Notre Dame and BIG EAST record with four goals versus Georgetown this past season.
A member of the U.S. national team program and an alternate on the 1996 Olympic team, she was one of 15 finalists for the '97 Missouri Athletic Club national player of the year. STREIFFER also holds the Irish school mark for consecutive games – 11- with either a goal or assist.
She is enrolled in the pre-professional studies program with a 3.492 grade index.

Community Reinvestment Act: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
January 10, 2020 / Source: OCC
Community Reinvestment Act: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks, Federal Savings Associations, and Federal Branches; Department and Division Heads; All Examining Personnel; and Other Interested Parties
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) have issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking to modernize regulations implementing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).
Note for Community Banks
The proposed rule would apply to all insured national banks, federal savings associations, and federal branches of foreign banking organizations (collectively, IDIs) with the exception of IDIs that do not engage in retail banking services.
Since becoming law in 1977, the CRA has encouraged insured depository institutions (IDI) to invest trillions of dollars into the communities they serve, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The regulations implementing the CRA have not been extensively revised since 1995. The OCC and FDIC are proposing regulations intended to better achieve the law's underlying statutory purpose of encouraging IDIs to serve their communities by making the regulatory framework more objective, transparent, consistent, and easy to understand. The OCC and FDIC believe that modernizing the CRA regulations could encourage IDIs to provide billions of dollars more each year in qualified lending, investment, and services.
The proposed rule would strengthen the CRA regulations by
- clarifying which activities qualify for CRA credit.
- updating where activities count for CRA credit.
- creating a more transparent and objective method for measuring CRA performance.
- providing for more transparent, consistent, and timely CRA-related data collection, record keeping, and reporting.
Comments on the proposed rule must be received no later than March 9, 2020.
Further Information
Please contact Vonda Eanes, Director for CRA and Fair Lending Policy, at (202) 649-5470, or Allison Hester-Haddad, Counsel, Emily R. Boyes, Counsel, or Elizabeth Small, Senior Attorney, Chief Counsel's Office, at (202) 649-5500.

Discussion in 'Skins' started by silentshadowxp, Jan 22, 2012.
*realizes that this is dead*
Not dead, I just don't have time to work on such a big project lately. I will come back to it one day.
Please do. It is an extremely awesome concept.
Ok, so I originally wanted to recreate the levels from Banjo Kazooie in Crossover as a skin, but the skins already in Crossover seem to fit in place of those levels. Therefore, I've decided to simply leave the theme skins as the one for Hero Klungo Savesss Teh World. It's far too much work to create a skin for each, especially given that I was working with trying to create 2-D retro looking graphics for 3-D worlds from scratch. I had gotten a hold of the textures for the game, but even then it was too much of a hassle. Since Hero Klungo Savesss Teh World has only one theme in it's game for all levels, I feel fine leaving it as the only theme for the project. As such, here is the final version for that:
As far as the character/enemy/map skins are concerned, I went ahead and edited the color palettes for them, making them more 8-bit. I decided that I would make an exception for the extra colors that came from Klungo's game, or the Banjo sprites, so the color palette isn't 100% 8-bit, but I decided to make it very close. Before, I was essentially taking colors from the 3-D models, but I honestly believe that the sprites look much better with the NES color palette. I also decided to ignore the limit for colors in each sprite (usually a limit of 3 per sprite), and this is again because of the Klungo game's sprites not obeying this limit, as well as the Banjo sprites. So here is the final version of the other sets of skins:
And with that, I am finished with this project. I think it's about time to finally submit these. I know I said I was going to do more with it, but I feel that the project is as far as I currently want to take it. If anyone else is interested in working on theme skins for Banjo levels, be my guest. But I've reached a state of content with this.
Portraits. They could use a bit of change.
You're more than welcome to make one for Banjo if you're interested. I think I like Klungo's the way it is though.
Well it's not that much a "portrait".
Just do what you have now for Banjo and have it be Klungo's badly-resized head.
The reason I'm keeping Klungo's the way it is is because it represents the main part of the game that I didn't include in my skin. The fact that he carries a world around with him throughout the entire game. I don't see an issue with it honestly, it's fine as is.
Because it is not a portrait. Basically.
If you place it next to portraits of the skins that are in SMBC, you'll notice that this one stands out. In a bad way. I'm not forcing you, though, because if the skin does make it in, the current "portrait" will most likely be changed anyway.
I just got into Banjo Kazooie recently...a day or two ago...and I came back to see this anew and it fucking blew my mind.
EDIT: Ceed and I streamed it when it was my first time playing, and upon learning the Beak Charge I straight up said "oh yeah, someone (I forgot who at the time >_>) made a Banjo skin for Bass and this is the dash for it!"
me too i loved that game so i made nes banjo

Actor John Goodman opening up about cancellation of 'Roseanne'.
FOX's Tonya J. Powers reports:
Actor John Goodman, opening up about what it was like for him after "Roseanne" was cancelled.
He's he star of ABC's "The Conners," which is essentially "Roseanne" without Roseanne Barr, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel last night, saying it took him awhile to recover:
(Goodman): "Last year was so miraculous and so unreal that when it went away, it was almost like a dream. I thought, 'okay, I'll be a big boy and handle this'. I just crashed for a couple weeks."
Goodman says he misses working with Roseanne because after so many years "it's like a family."
It was a tweet, perceived as being racist, that got Roseanne Barr fired and the "Roseanne" reboot cancelled in May.

The fall foliage is pretty much at its peak over the next week or so in Northern New England, which means that hotel rates are sky high. Although one doesn't always think of the Best Western brand as the epitome of quaint hotels, the Best Western Waterbury, Vermont is a convenient, reasonably priced option for would-be leaf peepers looking for a great deal.
The Best Western Waterbury, Vermont is conveniently located right off of the highway, in Waterbury, Vermont. The quaint village of Stowe, as well as many great culinary tours (Ben and Jerry's, Green Mountain Coffee, and Cold Creek Cider Mill among them) are nearby. The hotel is currently going through a renovation – the second floor was only accessible via stairs and there are construction vehicles in the parking lot, but I experienced absolutely no noise disruption.
Check-in at the hotel was easy. While the lobby is small, it is warm and inviting and they even had a fire going while we were there. It took a few minutes for me to figure out how to get to my room – probably because of the construction. But, once I arrived at my room, I was pleasantly surprised. While the room is pretty standard, it was completely spotless and comfortable. Internet is completely free and is very easy to connect to.
The hotel offers a complimentary continental breakfast in their on-site restaurant Wandering Moose Cafe, but I wasn't hungry, so I didn't check it out. Instead, I just brewed some coffee in the in-room Keurig (a nice amenity, especially with Green Mountain Coffee headquarters nearby). The restaurant also serves lunch and breakfast, and offers a bar with local micro-brews, wine, and coffee.
The grounds at the Best Western Waterbury are really nice and include the covered bridge pictured above. The indoor pool and jacuzzi are located right near the covered bridge, which makes for some fabulous photography. There's also a small swing set outside for children. Since the hotel is located on a hill, the foliage viewing is really fabulous from the rooms and the property – and there are some great nearby hiking and biking paths. The hotel also offers a nice game room and fitness room.
Overall, while the Best Western Waterbury still is a mid-range chain hotel, I think it's a great hidden gem in Vermont, especially for those looking to save some money during leaf peeking season.
Book online with Expedia or other booking sites.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary stay due to an unrelated press trip.

Up until recently, the meridians used in acupuncture, EFT and other modalities and treatments were not recognized in medical science.
However, recent studies have shown that, while the energy system is not necessarily yet detectable by science, the meridian system may be at least physically represented.
The tapping points used in FasterEFT are chosen for their simplicity and the fact that they address the major organs responsible for the stress "fight-freeze-or-flight" state.
These organs produce chemicals that cause the sensations of negative emotions.
Whereas in regular EFT, tapping addresses energetic blocks, in FasterEFT, tapping on these meridian points interrupts the signal between the brain and the organs responsible for the production of those stress chemicals.
What Has Science Discovered?
While it is clear that further studies are needed, in order to fully explain the system, medical science has moved forward in its exploration.
Medical studies have now shown that there is some evidence that acupoints are connected to the brain through neural pathways.
Stimulating these points seems to cause an effect on the signal between the brain and certain areas of the body.
The results of these studies presented questions that need to be explored in further studies.
One of these questions is: Why do 70% of patients respond to acupuncture while others don't?
This could be answered by the part of the process that was not covered in this study – the effect of the subconscious.
The Meridian Points as Used in FasterEFT
The studies carried out so far regarding meridian points have mainly addressed the physical responses of acupuncture and acupressure.
Some additional studies explore the results achieved by regular EFT.
In all of these cases, the research focuses on explaining the results on a physical or energetic basis.
These studies have looked at the connection between the acupoints and the physical results in the body.
These include blood pressure and heart-rate.
While scientific research into the meridian system so far has started to head in the direction of finding answers, it has not yet gone far enough.
In acupuncture and acupressure, the stimulation of certain meridian points relieves physical symptoms directly.
Regular EFT aims at clearing disruptions in the energy system by tapping on certain meridian points, addressing the energetic meridian system.
In FasterEFT, we go beyond both of those points.
We go along the "production line" to the source of problems: The connection between the subconscious and the meridian system.
The Connection Between the Subconscious and the Meridian System
The cerebellum is the part of the brain known as "the seat of the subconscious".
The subconscious contains all of the "proof" and "evidence" automatically recorded over the course of our lives.
This is the proof of who we are and what "reality" is.
The subconscious is constantly referring to this data and prompting the brain to trigger responses in the body.
As science has discovered, the meridian system may well provide the "messaging system" through which the brain triggers responses in the organs.
For example, signals from the brain to the stomach to produce the chemicals that create the sensations of fear would pass through the stomach meridian – the acupoint under the eye.
This is the third FasterEFT meridian tapping point.
The Answer to the Question: "Why do 70% of patients respond to acupuncture while others do not?"*
This was one of the questions that resulted from recent scientific studies of the meridian system.
It's important to bear in mind that the studies focused only on physical ailments.
They did not focus on emotional, mental, behavioral patterns, or any other areas of problems addressed using regular EFT and FasterEFT.
Had these other areas been included, the percentage of patients responding to the stimulation of acupuncture meridian points would have been, presumably, significantly lower.
With the meridians providing a connection between the brain and the body's organs, tapping on those points alone could produce certain results.
However, since the original source that is causing the problem is the data contained in the subconscious, tapping alone may not solve all problems.
Changing Blue Gadgets to Red
Picture a conveyor belt in a factory.
At the source of the conveyor belt, the machine is producing blue gadgets and adding them to the belt.
However, the sales representative has found that blue gadgets don't sell very well.
He wants red gadgets.
Asking the factory worker half-way along the belt to replace the blue gadgets with red gadgets may result in the sales rep receiving some red gadgets, but a fair number of blue will still through.
The factory worker will be unable to replace every single blue gadget.
The answer would be to go to the beginning of the belt.
And change the settings on the machine that is producing blue gadgets, to produce red instead.
Purely addressing the acupoints – whether that is using needles, heat, pressure, or tapping – is like dealing with the factory worker.
It's intercepting the production line, but not changing the original source of the problem.
Using the full FasterEFT process, which includes aiming correctly and using de-fractionation effectively, to change the original records held in the subconscious, is the equivalent of changing those settings on the machine making the gadgets.

Capture One SDK is now open for everybody
- Details
- Category: Blog
- Published: Friday, 30 November 2018 10:02
Phase One has made the Software Development Kit (SDK) free to access for everyone for the first time in Capture One's history. This means that anybody can create plugins for Capture One 12 and give some extra functions for the software.
This possibility has been available in Adobe Lightroom from the beginning, and all the controllers including Loupedeck, Pfixer, Palette Gear, MIDI2LR with MIDI controllers, etc. can work via such an embedded plugin in LR.
Although having the CO SDK does not mean yet that the opportunity has been opened for creating a controlling plugin for Capture One (like MIDI2LR for Lightroom). According to a software developer we contacted at Phase One, the new CO12 SDK only supports roundtrip and export functions for 3rd party softwares at the moment and does not include the API that allows slider movements. But this is a continuous project - he says - so controlling the sliders via a plugin may be a possibility in the future.
At the moment Capture One can be controlled with a hardware controller only via emulated Keyboard Shortcuts and with Tangent controllers which have default factory support from Phase One. The former is not so smooth as it should be (although it works), the latter is perfect but costs a fortune unfortunately.
If you would like to have your voice listened, you have the opportunity to tell Phase One that an SDK with slider-control support has a real demand on the market. By this not only a universal MIDI2LR-like plugin could be developed for any MIDI controller but also Loupedeck might have the possibility to manufacture a native Capture One controller.
You can tell your opinion and demands for Phase One about their SDK by clicking here.

PC Week: Microsoft crafts an answer to Sun's Star Division buySep 02, 1999, 22:07 (7 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Mary Jo Foley)
"Former SGI CEO Richard Belluzzo -- who as of Thursday became Microsoft Corp.'s group vice president of its Consumer and Commerce Group -- has his work cut out for him."
"Besides fixing a division that Microsoft officials characterize as being beset by a disproportionate share of "fits and starts," Belluzzo will be charged with helping Microsoft chart a hosting strategy for its applications, especially Microsoft Office."
"During a conference call to acknowledge Belluzzo's appointment on Thursday, Microsoft President Steve Ballmer told reporters and analysts that Microsoft will definitely have an answer to Sun Microsystems Inc.'s acquisition this week of Star Division Corp.'s StarOffice suite. Sun already is making StarOffice available for download from its Web site and will enable users to rent the desktop software via its StarPortal service."
"We will have Web-based Office productivity services. Full stop, yes," Ballmer said, in response to a question on Microsoft's intentions in the hosting arena. But Ballmer declined to provide a timetable for providing these services."

Academic journal article Chicago Review
Staying Alive in a Clear-Cut Forest
Article excerpt
David Wagoner teaches at the University of Washington and edits Poetry Northwest. His poetry is noted for its attention to the culture and landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Some of his poems recast Native American mythologies into poetry, as in "The Songs of Only-One, " a series of poems published in the Summer 1977 issue of Chicago Review. "Staying Alive in a Clear-cut Forest, " included here, first appeared in the Spring 1980 issue; WAGONER recently commented on this poem:
I wrote "Staying Alive in a Clear-cut Forest" (and several others: "Report on a Forest Clear-cut by the Weyerhauser Company," "Stump Speech in a Forest Clear-cut by the Weyerhauser Company, " and "An Address to the Weyerhauser Company ") about a forest in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains forty miles from Seattle. As you can gather from the titles, it was clear-cut, and If elt I needed to keep track of what had happened to that beautiful place in subsequent years. I'll be going back again this summer to check once more, but I may not have the heart to write anything more about it. This poem appeared in my book Through the Forest: New and Selected Poems, 1977-1987 (Atlantic Monthly Press, 1987).
I sit on a forest floor
That has lost its forest. …

Iakov Borisovich Kniazhnin
Kniazhnin, Iakov Borisovich
Born Oct. 3 (14), 1742 (or 1740), in Pskov; died Jan. 14 (25), 1791, in St. Petersburg. Russian author, member of the Russian Academy (1783). Son of a vice-governor.
Kniazhnin studied at the Gymnasium of the Academy of Sciences in 1750–55. He began military service in 1762. In 1778 he became secretary to I. I. Betskoi. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and comic operas, in which he revealed himself as a typical representative of Russian classicism. The patriotic enthusiasm and opposition to tyranny in his tragedies made them a success among contemporaries. Most popular was the tragedy Rosslav (1784). The tragedy Vadim of Novgorod (1789) was not staged; Catherine II saw its antimonarchical thrust and in 1793 ordered that all copies be burned. Kniazhnin's comedies, which treated pressing questions of Russian life in the second half of the 18th century, were distinguished by the liveliness of their language and simplicity of composition (The Braggart, 1784 or 1785; The Eccentrics, 1790). He is also known as the translator of Voltaire, Corneille, Goldoni, and other writers.

Chelsea lodged an enquiry over the possibility of signing Paris-Saint Germain midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak, according to L'Equipe.
Krychowiak moved to the Parc des Princes in the summer of 2016, but failed to make an impression during his debut season in Paris.
L'Equipe claim that despite the disappointing campaign that Krychowiak endured, his stock does not seem to have fallen.
The French outlet report that Chelsea made contact over the possibility of signing Krychowiak two weeks ago, but there is no suggestions that we took our interest any further.
After the arrival of Tiemoue Bakayoko from AS Monaco, there does not appear to be any dire need of midfield reinforcements. Signing a player who has just had the worst season of his career is probably not a good idea either.
Whether or not Chelsea return with a concrete proposal remains to be seen, but for now, it does not look as though Krychowiak will be becoming a Blue anytime soon.

I couldn't pick a dress so I went with the grab bag and got 3! I did receive a duplicate dress that I already had but it's my bad for not mentioning it in the comments. My sister happily excepted my extra! I got 2 long sleeved and 1 short sleeved maxi and I love all 3. The length of the talls is heaven sent! I will probably try this again later in the year to hopefully get some summer items as well.
Love all 3 dresses!! They all ended up being totally different but all flattering and beautiful. Love!!!
I loved all 3 dresses in my grab bag!
This idea is perfect because I'm not too picky about the design or color but I love maxi dresses. I got a beautiful blue maxi, pink floral maxi, and white floral maxi!! 10/10 would purchase again and definitely recommend. The sizing was perfect and it fit great. I followed the sizing chart
This was my first experience purchasing from this company. I did the grab bag option figuring that I would be able to try a couple of different styles and hopefully like one. Instead, I loved all three dresses and have received numerous compliments on each dress and requests for the website. I will definitely be purchasing from this company again.

It has been two weeks since the Boston Marathon, and since what we will now remember to be the tragic Marathon Bombings. I was thankfully at my studio working during the festivities, but it made the day stop abruptly. So much fear was sparked and flying wildly – noticeable on the streets, online, on my cell phone – it was just palpable. But I had a practical matter on my hands: a photo session schedule for Tuesday of a family who had flown into town from all over the country (and England!) to celebrate and participate in the marathon. Were they ok? Would they want to still do the session? How should I even approach them?
Thankfully they were all safe and sound, save for the one runner who was aching from finishing at a VERY fast time. Since they had all traveled from afar, they agreed that they didn't want to lose the opportunity for a family photo session due to the cruel interruption of terrorist activity. I couldn't agree with the sentiment more. Come Tuesday, I experienced some anxiety driving down Storrow approaching my beloved city. But as I parked and walked down Charles Street to the park, I was comforted and impressed by all the people outdoors enjoying the beautiful, spring day. I realized that we couldn't let those that instill fear win, and instead have to appreciate those we love and the beauty of life and culture around us. At that point I was super pumped to take some family photos!
And this was a fun shoot! The idea to photograph at the Boston Public Garden was due to an old photograph of the mom and children taken 20ish years ago by the dad. So we recreated the photo on the bridge, and then added a new spouse (the runner) and dad. This family was eager to get some natural shots along with more posed ones, so I made an effort to capture them just "chilling", enjoying the park and each others company. We also broke up for some smaller group and couples shots. The family was outgoing, talking about some time they spent living in Boston a long while back, and how excited they were to get the chance to return to city all together. I'm really happy with the way the photos turned out – capturing this fun family, beautiful day in the park, beloved city, and this super cool family breathing it all in.

How do I live what I believe?
I have always been interested in the intersection of life and faith, making practical the abstract, attempting to live with meaning, and making sense of what I observe in the world around me. I am convicted that what I believe in my mind and heart affects how I view my ministry, how I love my family, how I interact with culture, and how I serve in this world. While I've been continually shaped by many people in my life, friends and mentors alike, I've made an effort to continue learning from a number of people whom I'm unlikely to ever meet. Thanks to the blogosphere, there is a wealth of information just waiting to be discovered.
Each morning, there is a fresh crop of articles waiting for me in my feed reader (more on that below). I probably read an average of 30 articles per week. I'm learning so much and being challenged in so many ways that I don't want to keep all of these resources for myself. I believe these might be just as encouraging to you as they have been to me.
Here are a few of my favorite resources:
The Gospel Coalition — TGC has become my go-to source for solid, biblical perspectives on current events, Christian living, theology, ministry, arts and culture, and more. The archive is vast and new articles appear several times a day. While the site clearly has a Reformed perspective, meaning I may differ on some finer theological points, it is of immense value for Christians of all backgrounds and maturity levels. Here's an excellent article that deeply impacted my view of salvation.
Storyline Blog — Storyline is the online home of Christian author and leader Donald Miller and an impressive list of writers. The writing is compelling. The topics are relevant, ranging from devotional thoughts to cultural critique to leadership development, and more. An example: Donald Miller's recent post on spiritual abuse floored me.
Challies.com — Tim Challies is a prolific writer who produces a wide variety of content. He blogs about Christian living, shares resources, and authors a ton of books. In fact, if you're a reader, his reviews are a goldmine of great recommendations. Again, although he writes from a Reformed perspective, I'm right with him the vast majority of the time. I was challenged by this article recently.
What's Best Next — Nerd alert! I discovered Matt Perman while attempting to learn more about organization, personal productivity, and time management. I enjoy systems and so does Matt. (You seriously need to check out his series on how to set up your desk.) In addition, What's Best Next is a great resource for leadership, management, culture, apologetics, and theology.
Seth Godin — Seth is someone who continually challenges me. A thought leader in the business world, I find his perspective to be immensely helpful in the realm of creativity, management, leadership, and, surprisingly, evangelism. I am amazed at the substance—and brevity—of this blog. Here's a recent example that has huge implications for my work.
These are just a few of my favorite online resources. There are many more. I may share some of them in a future post. I hope these are a blessing to you as you continue to challenge yourself and to grow in faith and life.
What about you? What are your favorite resources?
Bonus: How do I stay up-to-date?
It's difficult not to miss content when you're following so many sources online. That's where a good feed reader comes in handy. I've used Feedly on my desktop browser and on my iPhone for years. It's a can't-do-without resource.

Infinite Summer
From Seo Wiki - Search Engine Optimization and Programming Languages
Infinite Summer is an online book club-style project started by writer Matthew Baldwin. Sponsored by The Morning News, participants are challenged to read and complete David Foster Wallace's novel Infinite Jest at a rate of about 75 pages a week from June 21 to September 22, 2009.[1][2][3]
Baldwin and three other writers act as "guides," providing commentary on the main Infinite Summer website. Participants in the project also contribute commentary over a variety of social networking services, including Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter, where related tweets are marked with #infsum.[4]
Baldwin said in interviews that the project was prompted in part by Wallace's death in September 2008.[5]
Notable participants in the project include Colin Meloy of The Decemberists[6][7] and Ezra Klein of The Washington Post.[8] Though not participating, John Hodgman has described the project as "a noble and crazy enterprise."[9]

You can't keep a good battleship down. As our partners at Omelete are reporting, 26 years after Final Yamato was released, a new chapter is finally being written in one of the most popular space operas ever to come out of Japan. On December 12, Space Battleship Yamato: Rebirth will premiere in Japan. Released in America as Star Blazers, the Space Battleship Yamato saga began in 1974 out of a collaboration between Yoshinobu Nishizaki and Leiji Matsumoto. The film has been in pre-production as far back as 1992 but was cast into development hell following a lengthy copyright lawsuit between Matsumoto (he of Galaxy Express and Daft Punk fame) and Nishizaki. Nishizaki's arrest and incarceration on drug and weapons charges did not help matters either. And you thought Gene Roddenberry had street cred. In any event, the copyright lawsuit was eventually settled in Nishizaki's favor in 2004, he was released from prison in 2007 and now audiences can finally find out what happened to our heroes (and heroines) following the defeat of the Deingili and the subsequent detonation of the Yamato in the last movie. Hit the jump for more details as well as the Japanese trailers.
Set 17 years after the events of Final Yamato, the Earth is once again imperiled. A roving black hole is moving through the galaxy, leaving a swathe of destruction in its wake and it is on a collision course with Earth. A planet-wide refugee operation is undertaken with the goal of getting everyone to the planet Amahr, a quick 27,000 light years away. Unfortunately, the villainous SUS Empire is standing in the way. After the first transports are attacked, Susumu Kodai a.k.a. Derek Wildstar, takes command of the newly recommissioned Yamato and sets out to, well, save humanity.
Fans of the original series may note that some of the art designs for the characters and the ship have changed. That is because the result of the copyright lawsuit stipulates that, while Nishizaki owns the name Yamato as well as the plot and characters of the original series, Matsumoto owns the conceptual art, character and ship designs from the original series. In other words, there is a good reason why the Yamato's famed cannons can now fire multiple times instead of just once. Incidentally, Matsumoto, who many fans see as the real force behind the success of the original series, is working on his own Yamato project. No details yet, but I have a feeling it is going to be set far in the future so as to avoid another lawsuit.
Space Battleship Yamato: Rebirth might be unlikely for an American theatrical release but keep your eyes open for the DVD, probably by Spring 2010. You can check out the trailers below and you can watch Leiji Matsumoto's video for Daft Punk's "One More Time" here.

Any selection of the best project management books must, perforce, be subjective. So with this clarification, but without apology, here are my recommendations. Please add your own to the comments section below. Also, I shall make my recommendations on specialist areas of project management, like risk management, leadership, and stakeholder engagement, in subsequent blogs.
We have written an updated and improved version of this article: 'What are the Best Project Management Books?'
This guy really knows his stuff, so this is rigorous, reliable, yet completely straightforward. This represents the distillation into simple ideas of a vast wealth of experience delivering high value, high criticality projects – often in software systems. It may be relatively new, but as soon as I knew Glen was writing a book, I was confident it would rank highly among my best project management books.Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Amazon.co.uk
I don't usually like nor recommend self-published, Kindle only books. But I will make an exception for this well-written ebook. It is written in a personal, first person style that you may or may not like, but it is full of good pragmatic advice, clearly explained.Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Amazon.co.uk
If you want to self-coach, to become a better PM, and are prepared to put in the work of doing her exercises, Susanne offers a great book. It is one of those project management books you are likely to return to at different stages of your career. She comes from a business project background.Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Amazon.co.uk
This is the PMI's guide to its body of knowledge. It is a hugely valuable reference book but a poor place to start learning from. It contains a huge amount of information but does not set out to teach or to describe the underlying principles. If you plan to get the PMI's Project Management Professional qualification, this will be your primary reference work. Darn it but there's more new stuff since my 4th edition, which already dwarfs my first edition! This is quintessentially a reference book, but if you are serious about a project management career, this is one of the few essential project management books.Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Amazon.co.uk
I'll admit it… for years, I held out against …Dummies books for, well, snobbish reasons. I'm not a Dummy. But this book, like its modern stable mates, does not treat you like a dummy. Quite simply, it's very good.Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Amazon.co.uk
To be honest, my copy is the third edition and 20 years old. But this was my reference manual when I was learning, so I can heartily recommend the latest edition. It's a textbook, so you get a huge amount of content, lots of detail and, whilst easily readable, it ain't reading-for-pleasure. But if you're a serious student of PM, or you want a good solid reference book on your shelves, to see you through years of 'let me just look that up', then you'll want this. Maybe save some money by picking up a second hand 6th or 7th edition. For me, this is one of my truly indispensible project management books.Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Amazon.co.uk
A lighter-weight text book than its cousin (above). I haven't seen it, but this may suit you as a halfway house (though it's priced a little beyond half way). Textbook pricing is shocking (and arguably unethical).Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Amazon.co.uk
In my opinion, the (second) best of the lightweight mass market trade paperbacks about project management. It has all the basics written clearly in bite sized chunks.Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Amazon.co.uk
This will have to be my plus one on my list of eight, and I'll declare an interest… I wrote it. Of all my project management books, this is the fundamental one, designed to take a beginer to a good level of competence, in eight easy steps. So instead of telling you what I think, here is what Anne-Marie O'Hara, Head of Projects at The National Trust for Scotland, said;
'Read this book, follow his advice and you will succeed.'
In case you think I am bluffing on all of this, here is a picture of my own project management bookshelf…

An interesting list of books, Mike. I was going to mention yours until I saw it on the list! 🙂 As you've said, any list of "best" books is going to be very subjective and it depends on your current level of PM knowledge. I'll give a mention to "Project Management, Planning and Control: Managing Engineering, Construction and Manufacturing Projects to PMI, APM and BSI Standards" by Albert Lester, and "20:20 Project Management: How to Deliver on Time, on Budget and on Spec" by Tony Marks.
