In addition to the attempts of forming an anthropological/morphological image for one researched population, the epigenetic characteristics that can be seen on the skeletal material are of a great significance. They are used in anthropological analysis to determine any genetic link between certain individuals (skeletons) because they are genetically conditioned.
In this regard, the epigenetic variations that were present and carefully followed on the skeletal material from the medieval necropolis at the site "Crkvishte" v.Morodvis, brought valuable conclusions for the shaping of the anthropological profile on the population that lived between XII, XIII and XIV century.
From the epigenetic variations of this population, we can see that in most cases we have: intra sutural bones in the lamboid, sagittal, parieto-mastoid and occipito- mastoid suture ; parietal foramen that is missing on the both sides ; metopical suture.
We can see the presence of the very rare : os epiptericum, os incae unipartitum, os apicis multipartitum and os asterion.
From the epigenetic variation of the postcranial skeleton, we found the rare – sternal foramen, suprascapular foramen and a curved sternum (so called chicken breasts).
The great percentage of some specific epigenetic characteristics in this population indicates the possibility of setting up a hypothesis that most of them were in family relations.

The revamped Symbian UI is set to deliver on two "major product milestones" in the first and second halves of the year. Nokia will also deliver its first Maemo 6 "mobile computer" in the second half of 2010 flanked by a significantly increased proportion of "touch and/or QWERTY devices" in its smartphone portfolio. It's worth noting that all the discussion is around Symbian, just a single mention of Maemo and its "iconic user experience" in the forward looking press release. Developers will be happy to hear that Nokia will also continue to scale services geographically while continuing to enhance its developer tools like QT4.6 announced yesterday. Financially speaking, Nokia expects to see the erosion of its average selling price slowed compared to recent years. That's good as Nokia attempts to grow its margins. However, while Nokia expects mobile device volumes to be up approximately 10% in 2010 across the industry, it sees its own mobile device volume market share as flat in 2010, compared to 2009.
Be clear on this though: our incredibly frustrating S60 5th user experience was by far the biggest complaint we had when reviewing Nokia's flagship N97 -- having the most bullet points on a list of features is not what it takes to lure consumers anymore (if ever). If Nokia can better the best in class experiences carved out by Apple, Palm, and HTC with its Sense UI then consumer mindshare, and our hearts, will follow.

XALAPAN, Guatemala – Guatemala's government declared a state of emergency and banned public gatherings in four townships east of the capital Thursday following several days of violent clashes between police and anti-mining protesters.
The confrontations, which began over the weekend, have left one policeman dead, six residents wounded by rubber bullets, and police patrols and other cars burned. Twenty-three police officers were briefly held by protesters before being freed.
"The investigation has revealed that a series of criminal acts were committed, from murder to kidnapping to the destruction of government property," said President Otto Perez Molina, explaining why he declared a state of emergency for the townships in the states of Jalapa and Santa Rosa.
The government sent in 500 police officers and 2,000 soldiers, some in armoured personnel vehicles. It said protesters were armed with guns and explosives. Clashes have involved police, mine security guards and local protesters.
Residents of the area are mainly members of the Xinca indigenous group. They claim the Canadian-owned Escobal silver mine, known locally as the San Rafael mine, threatens their local water sources.
The mine's owner, Vancouver-based Tahoe Resources Inc., said protesters armed with machetes "turned hostile" at the gate on Saturday, and security guards fired tear gas and rubber bullets to ensure the security of mine personnel. Six protesters were wounded by rubber bullets.
Ira Gostin, vice-president of investor relations for Tahoe Resources, said complaints that the mine could affect the water springs "are totally unfounded."
The mine has received permits to operate but is not yet operating.
In the village of Xalapan, where some charred vehicles littered the streets, dozens of police officers and soldiers patted down residents and searched house-by-house for people suspected in inciting violence. Those arrested were taken to a soccer field in a nearby town.
Deputy Interior Secretary Eddy Juarez, who went to area Thursday, told The Associated Press that 17 people have been arrested and there are arrest warrants for at least 30 more.
Earlier Thursday, Interior Secretary Mauricio Lopez Bonilla said security forces had recovered several weapons and shotguns.
Residents remained calm and allowed authorities to enter their homes.
"I don't intervene because I'm poor and I have to work to support my family but the truth is that the mine does affect us when it comes to the environment," said Mariano Lopez Escobar, who lives in Xalapan, and watched as officials raided homes nearby. "Although, it sounds like that with an order from the president for the mine to start working there isn't much one can do."
The emergency decree covers the townships of Jalapa, Mataquescuintla, Casillas and San Rafael Las Rosas in Jalapa and Santa Rosa states. It restricts constitutional rights such as freedom of movement, the right to bear arms, freedom of association and demonstration.
The government ordered it for 30 days, but Guatemalan lawmakers have yet to approve the duration of the state of emergency.
Protesters temporarily detained 23 police officers, seizing their firearms before releasing them. Later, in a nearby town, another officer was shot and killed in a confrontation possibly related to the mine clashes.
Yuri Melini, the director of the Legal Action Center for Human Rights, said "we believe that if crimes have been committed, they should be prosecuted, but the community's legitimate right to oppose the mine should not be criminalized."

NoseFrida is non-invasive – instead of going inside the nose like the bulb, it forms a seal with the outside of the baby's nostril (creating a vacuum). Parent-powered (mouth) suction is much stronger and more effective than the static suction of the bulb or battery-powered aspirators. NoseFrida is also easy to clean.

LG Infinia 47LW6500 LED HDTV Review: Excellent All-Around 3D TV at a Reasonable Price
Today's Best Tech Deals
Picked by TechHive's Editors
Top Deals On Great Products
Picked by Techconnect's Editors
Generic Company Place Holder Infinia 47LW6500 3D LED TV
With a built-in Web browser and a second remote that works like a wireless mouse, the LG Infinia 47LW6500--successor to the Infinia 47LW5600 that we reviewed earlier this year--rates as one today's better Internet-connected, 3d-supperting, LED-backlit LCD TVs. It also offers fine image and audio quality at a moderate price ($1900 list price; street prices in the range of $1400 to $1750 as of September 20), making it a very good deal for a 47-inch 1080p set with state-of-the-art capabilities.
We tested the Infinia 47L6500 in the same group as the Samsung UN46D8000, a 46-inch 1080p set that bundles similar features. In our juried image-quality tests; the Samsung edged out the LG overall, but it costs about $700 more. The 47LW6500 matched the Samsung's high marks for color/skin tones and details/sharpness. But judges found the LG's images on several test clips to be oversaturated; and on our motion benchmarks, it faltered slightly in its handling of a diagonal panning shot and on our "jaggies" test (jagged edges were visible on moving bars).
To help you adjust image quality to your liking, LG provides a very easy-to-use picture wizard--a calibration tool that lets you choose a target image for various qualities (color, tint, sharpness, and the like) and make adjustments to match it. You get a nice collection of presets, too.
Like most other LED-backlit sets, the Infinia 47LW6500 is quite energy-efficient, consuming no visible power when turned off and using 76.8 watts per hour (on average) while turned on. Its green score is 89 out of 100, which we consider to be very good.
The LCD is extremely thin--1.2 inches, not counting the stand. Ports are arranged in a squarish area on the left rear, with two USB and four HDMI ports facing sideways (and therefore readily accessible), and ethernet, PC video (VGA) and audio inputs, optical digital audio output, a cable/antenna coax port, and a jack for either a component video or a composite AV adapter cable all facing downward (making them tricky to access but usable with a wall-mounted set). Facing directly outward are an RS232C service port and one set each of conventional component and composite AV inputs, which you wouldn't be able to use with a wall-mounted set.
The set comes with an 802.11n USB Wi-Fi adapter that operates only in the 2.4GHz band, which isn't ideal for streaming media, especially in cities where your network's signals must compete with those of many other Wi-Fi networks. Support for the 5GHz version of 802.11n would have been nice, since it's less subject to interference.
The LG 47LW6500's long, skinny standard remote has all the controls you'd expect on a current set, including the ability to program controls of other devices and a Quick Menu that lets you easily adjust aspect ratio, audio, video, and AV presets, closed captions, the channel editor, and other key features.
The Home button brings up a handsomely designed screen that gives you access to all connected TV content, including downloadable and some preinstalled apps, the Web browser, and buttons for launching the setup menu, switching inputs, and accessing favorites. The current TV content is displayed in a window in the upper left corner, and a customizable function menu in the center of the screen links to premium services such as streaming media and social networking sites.
LG's Smart TV lineup includes Amazon's on-demand service, Facebook, Hulu Plus, Netflix, Twitter, Vudu, YouTube Leanback (an HDTV optimized version of YouTube), and several other content sites. You can stream your own content from a USB drive or from any DLNA-compatible device on your home network; the set supports a dozen or so video formats, JPEG stills, and MP3 audio (as long as they aren't copy-protected). You can create a slideshow with background music and apply a few effects to images.
If you plan to run the Web browser, however, you'll want to set up and use the Magic Motion remote that comes with the set. This wandlike second remote is smaller than the standard one and uses motion-sensing technology to control the on-screen cursor, reminiscent of a Wii remote. You must pair the remote with the set before you can use it.
The Magic Motion remote lets you access the set's features via a handful of buttons: a power button, a Home screen button, volume- and channel-changing rockers, a mute button, and a select clicker surrounded by a navigation wheel. It's a welcome option for people who don't like sorting through all of the buttons on the standard remote.
That said, using the Magic Motion remote for Web browsing on the Infinia 47LW6500 is an iffy experience. The absence of a hardware keyboard means that you must use the Magic Motion on an onscreen keyboard to enter text (such URLs or login info), which isn't much fun. The browser supports Flash, but only through version 8 (10 is current), and unlike desktop browsers it doesn't support HTML 5.
The TV's audio is pretty good: The two 10-watt speakers achieved decent volume, and the surround-sound simulation worked reasonably well. It's still no comparison to the audio from even a small home-theater setup, but it meets the challenge of providing appropriate accompaniment to 3D content.
LG provides four sets of passive glasses with the set; at this writing, several retailers are offering free additional glasses. These are basically the same glasses that theaters hand out for 3D movies, and the 3D quality is quite good. But the 3D version of Avatar on Blu-ray didn't look as rounded as it did on the Samsung, which uses active-shutter glasses.
In most other respects, the Infinia 47LW6500 is very similar to the Infinia 47LW5600. In fact, LG provides the same manual (printed and online) for both models, along with a couple of dozen other LCD and plasma sets (which this makes pinning down some info on your specific model more difficult).
With the Infinia 47LW6500, LG continues to build on its reputation as a maker of affordable sets that deliver good image quality and technological innovation at a highly competitive price. Samsung and Sony should be watching their backs.

October 26, 2010 in BITE ME | Tags: chef, Culver City, entertainment, kiss, Norway, salmon, stew, Surfas, The Flying Culinary Circus, travel, winter, Youtube | Leave a comment
About a week ago, maybe two, right before I got sick, I went to see the antics of THE FLYING CULINARY CIRCUS at Surfas store in Culver City, CA. Those are four young… Wait, let me rephrase it… TFCC are four very young chefs from Norway who travel around the world to cook and horse around for whomever pays. That's in a nutshell what TFCC stands for.
The presentation at Surfas was organized by their PR company, and various media personas, bloggers including, were invited. We got to taste a few samples of the chefs' culinary creations, like their HOME SMOKED SALMON WITH HORSERADISH CREAM, POMEGRANATE & SHERRY VINAIGRETTE…
Another popular bite was SALMON "KISS" WITH TERIYAKI-LIME SAUCE AND SESAME SALAD…
The gentlemen also served us SCALOP CEVICHE that was made right in front of our eyes, which I wish had been done at least 15 minutes prior in order to let the acid cook the scallop. The salmon dishes certainly made up for that one missed appetizer.
What was made long before our arrival was a very simple, very comforting, and very familiar to anyone who grew up in a cold(ish) climate LAMB & CABBAGE STEW. All attendees of the presentation not only got to taste the goods, but also received the recipes for all sampled dishes.
Since the STEW is so easy to make that your 4 year old daughter (sister? niece? neighbor? anyone?) could make it, I'll share that with you as well (I'm copying the text from the sheet word for word):
– 2.2 lb lamb meat from legs with bones
– 4.5 lb cabbage
– 2 t black peppercorns
– 4 t whole-wheat flour
– water
– salt
1. Cut cabbage into large pieces. Layer meat, cabbage, peppercorns, salt and wheat flour in a big casserole. Bring to a boil and skim foam that rises to top.
2. Boil for 2-3 hours until the meat loosens from the bones.
That's it. That's the entire recipe. The flavor was really good, simple, but good. I'm sure you can easily substitute the meat for beef or buffalo. You could add carrots and leeks for an extra layer and depth of flavor. You could add heat of cayenne, or smokiness of smoked paprika. You could… make it your own. Served with potatoes, to me that's the perfect winter meal.
The guys had one more surprise up their sleeves for us. Once the tasting was finished, and everyone present was comfortably sedated on ever flowing champaign, Tor, Trond, Mathias and Hans set the music and the stage for their famous waffle making presentation…
I recorded this video with my camera, hence forgive the sound quality. I did minimal editing in the very beginning and in the end of the clip. However, I bare no responsibility for the quality of the act itself.
Are you ready for this? I don't think they were!
All in all, we all had fun. Clearly, none of the members of The Flying Culinary Circus takes himself too seriously. They cook and they monkey around. Come to think of it, that makes perfect sense. It doesn't matter who you are and where in the world you live, I bet you like to eat well and laugh your back side off. TFCC will deliver just that.

The Procomp Big Brake Kit is a sophisticated bolt-on brake upgrade designed to enhance brake power under sustained high-heat conditions. All calipers feature 1-piece construction from a solid billet of aircraft grade aluminum for lightweight, unparalleled strength and freedom from corrosion. Calipers also feature aluminum pistons that provide better heat resistance and uncompromised operation. This brake system is designed for easy installation with minimal tools required in most applications.
Front 6 or 8 Pot Calipers: 6 Pot lightweight aluminum calipers are standard in our 11" and 12" Front Procomp Big Brake systems. The opposed piston caliper design greatly improves pad wear and caliper rigidity over the OEM design. 8 Pot Calipers are standard on 13" and 14" Front Procomp systems.
Rear 2 or 4 Pot Calipers: For rear Procomp systems, 2 Pot lightweight Aluminum Calipers are standard in 11" and 12" kits. Lightweight 4 Pot Aluminum Calipers are standard in 13" and 14" Systems. Our caliper design greatly improves pad wear and caliper rigidity over the OEM design.
Carbon Steel Caliper Brackets: All Ksport Big Brake kits come with CNC machined Carbon Steel caliper brackets. Since our calipers are much larger than OEM, these brackets help the system bolt right up to your OEM caliper bracket location.
Two Piece Rotors: The Procomp systems feature two-piece rotors to provide light weight, fade-free performance and effective grip on the racetrack and comfortable, easy-to-use operation under normal driving conditions.
Custom Caliper Options: Brake calipers come standard in painted colors such as Orange, Red, Black and Yellow. There is also an option to upgrade to premium high polish finishes in Silver, Gold and Titanium as well as Glassy/Hard Anodized Colors. With over 20,000 custom color finishes are also available the options are nearly limitless.
SC5 Street Pads Included: The NAOC Ceramic pads give optimal braking performance under street and occasional track conditions. The pads reduce the amount of brake dust by 50% or more when compared to race pads and greatly reduce the amount of noise and wear on the rotor. Optimal operating temperatures between 194°F - 1022°F.
Stainless Steel Brake Lines: D.O.T compliant stainless-steel braided brake lines are standard in all our brake kits. The Stainless-Steel brake lines stop expansion under pressure, provide a quicker pedal response, and have a firmer pedal feel over stock rubber lines.
Slotted or Cross Drilled Rotors: Furthering the customization, Procomp allows for the option of Cross Drilled or Slotted Rotors. Since Cross Drilled rotors run cooler than slotted, we recommend them for daily driven vehicles. For vehicles that will be seeing more track, we recommend Slotted.

California Farmers Brace for Little Or No Water
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Federal officials plan to announce Friday how much water they can release this year through a vast system of rivers, canals and reservoirs, but Central Valley farmers on the front lines of California's historic drought expect little, if anything.
This time of year the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation carefully measures the mountain snow pack, rainfall and reservoir levels all over California to determine the water available for farmers, fish migrations and communities.
Gov. Jerry Brown last month declared California's drought emergency, and both state and federal officials have pledged millions of dollars to help with water conservation and food banks.
Last year, some farmers received 20 percent of what is considered normal but Gayle Holeman, a spokeswoman for Fresno's Westlands Water District, said that figure is expected to hit zero.

All eyes are on the Senate election in Alabama today, but in Washington, tax writers are making progress as they work to hash out a final tax package, with a deal possible as soon as today. "We don't have it right this minute but we are getting closer," Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) told reporters. "We're narrowing those differences."
Among the provisions being discussed, according to The Washington Post, the Associated Press and other reports:
- Reducing the top individual tax rate to 37 percent, down from the current 39.6 percent
- An expanded deduction for state and local taxes that would allow individuals to write off income taxes as well as property taxes — a big issue for high-tax states
- Elimination of the corporate alternative minimum tax that was reintroduced to the Senate tax bill
- Setting the mortgage interest deduction on the first $750,000 of a new loan, splitting the difference between the House ($500,000) and Senate ($1 million)
- Setting the corporate tax rate at 21 percent, higher than the 20 percent called for in both the House and Senate bills but lower than the 22 percent that had been floated recently by President Trump and others. A rule of thumb holds that each percentage point represents about $100 billion in revenue.
The details won't be final until the conference committee's legislation is formally filed, which the tax writers hope to do on Friday, the Post reports. Votes in the House and Senate would follow next week.

Alongside the wistfulness that an album of festive standards inevitably inspires, there's also an additional nostalgia to this collection that comes from hearing a 23-year-old Conor Oberst recite the oft-heard words of these seasonal standards.
Ten years removed from its initial appearance on the Saddle Creek website, Bright Eyes' A Christmas Album has been granted a wider release in time for this year's holiday season.
Following on the heels of Oberst's retreat from Bright Eyes to Desaparecidos, this 11-track-collection offers up a beguiling mixture of surprises, clichés and sentiment in its treatment of the classics contained within.
While Oberst's then-reputation as a prodigious yet self-indulgent songwriter would suggest a record that pours cold water on any festive warmth, the most remarkable thing about A Christmas Album is the respect with which it's been put together.
It could have been a sneering, superior swipe at songs often mocked for being anachronistic to the modern world, but Oberst instead offers up nothing but sincerity and care when adapting these standards for his own ends.
'Blue Christmas' is genuinely affecting and the song's pervading sadness proves perfect for a Bright Eyes interpretation, while 'God Rest You Merry Gentlemen' bounces along on a joyous, drunken rhythm that could have been brought in straight from Lifted....
'Little Drummer Boy' dares to break from its moorings, featuring clattering industrial percussion and a vocal that hides behind static and digital noise. It's actually a telling precursor to the thinking that would later give birth to Digital Ash in a Digital Urn; chopping up Oberst's traditional songwriting inclinations and attempting to graft human emotion to an electronic skeleton.
That track is a high point, so when the record reverts back to its conventional origins the experimentation is missed. The listener is left scanning the tracklist to wonder which songs could be turned on their head, but instead the second half of the album seems slightly limp in comparison.
Maria Taylor's vocal on 'White Christmas' is fine, but the simple backing of a gently-picked acoustic guitar isn't enough to distinguish it from countless other interpretations of the song. Similarly, 'Silver Bells' is so anonymous that it could really be by anyone in the world who has access to instruments and friends.
Nevertheless, that's also part of the album's charm. It was recorded through spontaneous sessions at Oberst's house, and the chemistry between the chief Bright Eye and his cohorts really translates to the recording. As proceedings draw to a close, this project is rendered worthwhile with the wintry ache that permeates 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' and it's difficult to suppress a smile.
After 10 years in the cold, it's nice that this album is being granted a wider release. It's the season for giving, after all.

With Major Arcana, Speedy Ortiz announce the definitive release to date from a murky DIY scene that's wrought promising Massachusets sludge-pop from Fat History Month, Krill and ovlov. Fronted by Sadie Dupuis, a ravenous reader who teaches poetry at University of Massachusets, the lineup comprises classical guitarist Matt Robidoux - also a teacher - trainee librarian Mike Falcone, and Darl Ferm, a film-studies graduate with a sideline in hot dog sales.
While all this might suggest an exercise in academia - maybe not all that far off the mark - the connotations feel misleading: less hard, hoarse and mathematically limber than their Boston peers, Speedy Ortiz (pronounced Or-teez) seal their intelligence with restraint. Major Arcana is a dense labyrinth of can't-catch-me riffs and writhing vocal lines that tumble in waltz and 4/4 time. Rejecting attention-stealing time signatures and favouring pumped choruses over tricky breakdowns, the record conveys a sense of ledge-grasping urgency. As tested pop signifiers catch your ear, fast ideas batter against the structural constraints, a tension between anthemry and atonality, maximum energy and flair crammed into tight borders. Looking beyond obvious Nineties touchstones - Built to Spill, Juliana Hatfield, Slint - there's a vague lineage to be traced back to Richard Hell & the Voidoids, as brainy lyrics jostle among loose, loopy rhythms that mimic an untidy mind.
Where all this leads is a kind of speed-riff slumber party. If nothing else it gives an idea of what late-Nineties Heatmiser might've sounded like upon reinstatement of Elliott Smith. The "sycophantic academy" at which 'Casper (1995)' sneers is pure Smith, as are the double-tracked, deftly flourishing guitars of 'No Below'. Mercifully, any shyness finds succour in patiently deferred power-splurges that wouldn't wince at a Nevermind comparison, albeit via Keep It Like a Secret. Indeed, within Major Arcana's slightly restrictive Nineties universe there remains a hint of diversity, 'Cash Cab's post-hardcore guitars wriggling and pivoting like balletic earworms hopped up on adrenaline, while 'Pioneer Spine' ambushes fraught passages with blistering, burst-out choruses. Closer 'MKVI' ascends majestically, across its seven minutes a sense of release that neatly suits lyrics about a subconsciously sabotaged relationship, Dupuis's guilt transfigured as righteous scorn.
Despite the band's protestations - 'I'm kind of like a third-grade poet,' Dupuis told Rolling Stone, 'I try to have some sense of humor' - the songwriting is deceptively sophisticated, something in the lyrics evoking fractious childhoods and suppressed fantasies without seeming too self-harmy. "I want your name - just write it, that's fine", she purrs on "Pioneer Spine', as if disobedience would be gravely inadvisable.
Ultimately Speedy Ortiz's ingenuity relates not to innovation but something altogether more sacred to this genre, namely the expression of knotty emotions in alluring terms, at once esoteric and specific-seeming. While Dupuis leaves telling space between what's said and what's felt, her own outsider universe never excludes the listener. It's packed with difficult sentiments that have been brewing unspoken just long enough to acquire some inexplicable potency, steeped in the poetry of repression.
We're tipped off to Dupuis's capability on 'No Below', the most lucid and brilliant of Major Arcana's consistently high-quality cuts. In another Elliott Smith-studied quirk of technique, it flips a loner-finds-lungs chorus with revealing modifiers: "(Yes I once said) / I was better of just being dead / Better off just being dead... / But I didn't know you yet". From such nigglingly touching moments surface nigglingly great songwriters, and despite the glum facade, Speedy Ortiz are way too euphoric and glorious to suffer for their artfulness. Stripping away the frills, at heart Major Arcana is a mournful treasure that asks to be celebrated.

DANIELLE SUSI: Obama's inauguration speech echoes King's legacy
On a morning reserved for the celebration of perhaps the most influential African-American civil rights leader, I was a first-hand observer of President Barack Obama's Inauguration.
Surprisingly, the ceremony itself was only a very small portion of this unforgettable experience. The congested Metro rush resulted in stations packed tightly with bodies clad in inaugural garb and in tightly bundled winter coats.
Once we arrived at the Green Gate, each person passed through a security checkpoint approaching the west front of the Capitol building. After a quick search and a brief pat-down, we began our struggle to get as close as possible to the podium.
It took a considerable effort to maneuver through the throngs of people, each clamoring to catch even a glimpse of the president or the first lady. With around 1 million people in attendance, "crowded" is certainly an understatement.
The crowd booed, showing their disdain for U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan and former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich when they took the stage along with the rest of the Congressional body.
A heckler climbed high into a nearby tree in protest of the president and seemingly his position on abortion rights. Though slightly disruptive, I suppose part of the beauty of this day and of this country is the freedom to disagree with the president and legislative policy enacted by our Congress.
The legendary James Taylor sang a remarkable rendition of "America the Beautiful" after Vice President Joe Biden's oath of office and before Obama's. This was, I believe, the perfect way to begin such an event. The day itself was perhaps less dramatic than the president's first inauguration, but no less exciting.
In the interest of full disclosure, I voted for Obama in his re-election, but even those who did not can appreciate the sort of oratory skills our commander-in-chief possesses.
Some had previously speculated that Obama's second inaugural address might overshadow the legend of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s for pomp and circumstance. Admittedly, I had initially believed it was all too coincidental to inaugurate the nation's first African-American president on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
However, while the president's speech made no mention of King by name, the concept that remained most deeply engrained in my mind after the address was a one well-associated with King's legacy: equality.
The most significant part of the president's address was not his recollection of the strides this country has made in the last four years, or those he declared most important moving forward. The most significant part of Obama's address was witnessing the reactions of those around me when he spoke these words.
Promises of equality and justice, the protection of the rights of those who are deemed "different," encouragement to join together as Americans: these were the cornerstones of Obama's inaugural address.
And with each word spoken from our leader's mouth, I saw hope rise in the eyes of those huddled masses around me.

What is DINAA?
The Digital Index of North American Archaeology, or DINAA, applies open access principles to archaeological data created by governments and researchers, in order to create a standardized data discovery tool (without using sensitive information like site coordinates). This allows for a more complete understanding of the past by allowing data covering large areas, or those separated by modern political boundaries, to be analyzed using the same terms in one data set. As the index of DINAA grows, it will incorporate larger numbers of stable links to public data sets hosted throughout the Internet, and can act as a kind of library search engine for primary archaeological data on architecture, fauna, flora, lithics, pottery … or anything!
What We Do
Each state in the U.S. has a State Historic Preservation Office, or SHPO, and each of these maintains their own database of archaeological sites in their respective state. These databases have been designed independently of each other, and often differ in terms of data structure and vocabulary. DINAA uses definitions and organizational elements from these nearly comprehensive catalogs as its base data layer. We have created a system that allows these differing databases to become interoperable through translation to one or more standardized classifications. If the DINAA and each SHPO can talk to each other, the information from each state can be presented in one data set. A publicly accessible live map, seen below, is the one of the products of this process. Click on the link, or the map image to try your own query!
DINAA is an archaeological information tool for the Internet. Records for sites of interest can be browsed and used as a basis for further research. Maps can be exported as GeoJSON files for use in GIS software programs like QGIS and ArcGIS, allowing use by anyone through our open access policies. DINAA can be used by researchers to help identify broad areas of interest for their work, by educators who want to show students current maps of archaeological cultures, or for all sorts of important investigative or public activities. However, because of its sensitive data restrictions, DINAA is not built to conduct records checks for cultural resource management or other legal compliance activities. It is a public research and educational tool. Click on the map links or images to go to our query page and try it yourself!
On a typical day, much of the work involved with creating the DINAA consists of two tasks: obscuring site locations to prevent unauthorized access, followed by linking culture-history terms in individual state databases to a standardized terminology. Obscuring location data involves allocating sites to sectors on the map grid, each sector is 20 km on a side (or 400 square km), then removing all geographic coordinates and other sensitive data. This work, done by registered professional archaeologists ONLY, allows useful cultural and scientific information to be published publicly online while simultaneously protecting important site locations.
The next step is to relate each state's unique terms to the standardized vocabulary used by the DINAA (based off of the CIDOC-CRM ontology which is an international standard for cultural heritage data. The DINAA team first creates a comprehensive list of all archaeological terms used within a source database. They then sift through the published archaeological literature on each state or region to find discrete definitions for each term. DINAA accumulates definitions for sites, rather than replacing them, and users can query the original definitions to compare with the newer DINAA definitions to ensure accuracy and continuity. Reference citations for each new definition are then recorded and added to the DINAA Zotero library, which is also available as a public resource online.
What's next?
Papers and posters about DINAA have inspired audiences at professional meetings over the last two years. Our team recently produced presentation materials for the 2014 Society for American Archaeology annual meeting (click here to access our papers, posters, slides, and a summary of our activities at the SAA meetings). An article in Literary and Linguistic Computing will be available this fall. Please follow our work or tweet us @DINAA_proj on Twitter, and visit our blog for updates. Team members are currently working on technical papers describing DINAA, and research based on it, related to both the construction of the index, and from examining the combined dataset.
DINAA also gives back to the discipline of archaeology, acting as a focal point around which we can discuss "how" and "why" we record data in different ways. Project team members have hosted one workshop with 30 participants already this year, and are planning a second next month. Site file managers and other researchers from many states in Eastern North America are participating. DINAA is an open, community effort, and the support of many people and organizations is what makes it happen. Feel free to contact us!
In 2014 our initial NSF funding period is coming to a close. We are currently planning the next round of funding that will help the DINAA grow to cover all US states and territories, as well as other North American nations as well.

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
From September 15 to October 15 every year in the United States, we honor the contributions of Latino and Hispanic communities with the celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month while highlighting their diversity, culture and traditions. There is so much to explore, so let's begin a little early!
Let's begin by celebrating Mexico through its food history. The history of Mexican food is a long and diverse one. It is believed that authentic Mexican food might have been derived from the Mayan Indians. They were traditionally nomadic hunters and gatherers. Corn tortillas with bean paste were a common food item; but they also ate wild game, tropical fruits, and fish.
In the mid 1300's, The Aztec Empire was thriving, and though the Mayan food staples were still in use, chili peppers, honey, salt and chocolate found its way into their cooking. Some of the wild game, such as turkey and duck, had now become domesticated.
In 1521 Spain invaded Mexico. Spanish foods had the most influence on the Mexican cuisine. They introduced new livestock, such as sheep, pigs and cows. They brought with them dairy products, and garlic as well as many different herbs, wheat and spices. It was at this time that the Mexican people saw the assimilation of many other cuisines including Caribbean, South American, French, West African and Portuguese. Because of this Mexican foods today are diverse, yet dishes to vary from region to region.
The early natives of Mexico did not have ovens, instead they heated food over and open fire, using cast iron skillets and ceramic ware. Another method was steaming. They would suspend meat wrapped in cactus or banana leaves, over boiling water in a deep pit. Frying was also a popular method.
They used a metate y mano, which is a large tool made of lava rock or stone that they would use as a grinding stone or the molcajete, which was smaller, to grind and smash ingredients. The molcajete, or mortar and pestle, is a small bowl shaped container that can be made of stone, pottery, hard wood or marble, and the pestle is baseball bat shaped.
Let's look at the history of some of our favorite Mexican foods. Salsa was sold in the Aztec market places. Salsa, the Spanish word for sauce, is uncooked and sometimes pureed until chunky, smooth, or chopped. Large red tomatoes, tomatillo, chipotle (smoke dried, ripe chili pepper) {a staple in the Aztec diet} and the avocado are found in the modern salsa, and are the same core ingredients used in the past.
The term enchilada is first referenced in the US in 1885. Yet the concept of tortillas being used as a wrap can be clearly linked to the Aztecs. The word enchilada means "in chile."
The tomatillo is a fruit that dates back to at least 800 BC, the word meaning round and plump. The Aztecs domesticated it, and when the Europeans came to Mexico, they documented the local foods and often confused the names by shortening the words. Though never popular with Europeans, it thrived in Italy. Today, a relative of the fruit is common in the US. Tomatillo, a member of the night shade family, provides tart flavor in many different green sauces.
The Portuguese aided the spread of the chili pepper plants. Though the earliest mention was in 1542 when a German herbalist, Leonhart Fuchs, described and illustrated several types of peppers. There is archaeological evidence that peppers were in use since 5000 BC.
Pre-Columbus is how far back the Tamale can be traced. The Friar Bernardino de Sahagun documented that the Spaniards were served tamales by the Aztecs in the 1550's.
Other foods that we associate with Mexican cuisine, are not traditionally so. The Flan was discovered in Medieval Europe. And ceviche is an Inca discovery, eating their catch of the day raw with only a few seasonings. It wasn't until the late 15th century when Native American chefs of Ecuador and Peru began to add the citrus fruits with the South American fish, and creating the dish that we know today.
Flavors from around the world have influenced Mexican dishes. The same can be said about Mexican traditional favorites affecting other countries menus. In just about every culture you look at, you can find a hint of Mexico.
Join us next week when we explore a delicious recipe. Adios!!

How To Remove Mold From Houston Buildings:
First, you will need to know what caused the mold to grow in the first place so that the process does not repeat. Most often, mold growth is precipitated by water damage and prolonged moisture. Mold thrives in a warm, moist environment. Often there was water damage that was not resolved. Next, you will need to determine the extent of the damage. Removing some but not all of the mold spores will slow growth, but not eliminate the mold. Proper equipment must be used to limit exposure. In general, gloves, masks, and goggles should be used. Affected floorboards and sections of drywall should be removed, then the area scrubbed with an antimicrobial agent. The areas should then be thoroughly dried. Commercial air movers dry the area very quickly. Last, the damaged floorboards and walls will need to be repaired. If this process seems daunting, Restoration 1 of Central Houston can help.

Are there only 66 books in the Holy Bible?
Submitted by admin on Fri, 2011-01-21 01:54
What the Protestants call the Apocrypha is Canonical books for the Orthodox churches and so we have more than 66 books in the Bible. Even the 0. T. Canon was closed only in 100 A. D. in the Council of Jamnia, 13 miles south of Jaffa. The Jews of the Dispersion regarded the Apocryphal books also as Scriptures. During the first three centuries these books were regularly used in the Christian Churches also. St. Athanasius was one of the first fathers of the church who limited the list of scriptural books into 66 in his list. Jerome of the Western Church (342-420) had a tremendous influence in limiting the canonical books as 72. In accordance with the Hebrew Canon only 66 books. The Trent Council declared the Vulgate as the authoritative Latin Scripture of the Roman Catholic Church. Whether canonical or Deutero canonical, the apocrypha has great value. The so-called Apocryphal books, the Books of Maccabees contain prayers for the departed more unambiguously than the prayer of St. Paul in II Tim. 1: 18 for the departed Onesiphorus. The Fathers of the Church have quoted from these books which are not regarded Canonical by the Protestants. To the Orthodox Churches, therefore, there are more than 66 books which are canonical.

The Best Selection of Fish Bowls. In-Store Pickup, Curbside Pickup.
If you want a fish pet, you need an aquarium. Well-designed aquariums can be a lot of fun to have at home as vibrant additions to home decor. However, picking the appropriate aquarium tank for your fish may not always be simple, with numerous options offered. This is because you will need to match the type and size of a fish tank to your fish pet. Also, you need to ensure the aquarium you pick fits your special environment and assists you value the pets. We supply the standards to comply with when picking fish tanks and aquariums.
Making the appropriate option- Fish makes lovely pets to have at home, offering a mix of gorgeous shade, tranquil to view, and simple to care for. However, they need constant upkeep to survive and healthy. Fish tanks and aquariums are the foundation of maintaining your pet fish. However, with several options offered, there are several aspects to consider when picking the appropriate fish tanks and aquariums.
You need to choose what sort of fish you are most likely to keep in the fish tank and how you will equip it. Large fish tanks do not necessarily cause even more upkeep. Instead, tanks with large water capacity are much better at diluting toxins. Secondly, you need to decide whether you need a saltwater or freshwater tanks because they differ. Saltwater tanks tend to be extra vivid, while freshwater is much less vibrant. Depending upon the sort of fish you have, pick the proper container.
The proper size for the fish- Fish tanks must have the appropriate shapes and sizes to fit your home needs. Aquariums come in all sizes and shapes where you need to pick the appropriate one. In most cases, always pick the largest tank because it is simpler to care for than making use of a small one. With a huge aquarium, you can conveniently eliminate the wastes. Also, fish will expand with time and will need a huge aquarium to expand in it. In most cases, the fish you will get from a pet store are juveniles such as 1-inch long and can grow up to 10 inches. Therefore, pick a tank that is large enough to suit the fish.
Another vital factor to consider is where you plan to place the aquarium after buying it. Are you certain the floor can hold the weight of your aquarium? Also, consider the floor and how much you will care for it when it drips. You might consider how much time and effort you want to devote to upkeep. The vital thing is to pick a fish tank that will look great in a certain location you have selected.
If you are aiming to buy Fish Fish Bowls, permit our pleasant staff to aid you out. At Coral Sea Aquarium in West Palm Beach, Florida we have experienced people with considerable knowledge of fish tanks, which will aid you to pick the best product. Call us or visit our store to get more information.

Daily Prompt: Release Me
Tell us about the blog post you were most nervous to publish — and what it was like to set it free.
I've a hard time talking about my feelings but through writing, I've found a way to release. I still have a hard time writing about somethings but Well its a start…maybe someday I'll be courageous enough to write about that stuff.
So far there are two blog posts I had a hard time writing about and was a little nervous if I should write about it or not.
One of them was the Battle with myself, why I was nervous about writing it was because that was the first time I came close to hurting myself. Sure I had thoughts about it before but I never came so close to do it. One of the reasons was because I had strong faith. My faith made me hold on to the glimmer of light and hope. But in those days I was a little out of faith, I've to admit I became close to becoming depressed, maybe I did become depressed. And in that slight moment of discretion I became too close to hurting myself.
To be honest I wasn't courageous enough to do it (People keep telling me that it doesn't mean I was a coward, It means I was strong enough to resist it, but I don't think that was the case. If I even had a ounce of courage in me, I would have cut myself for sure. I was that depressed.)
Well anyways, I'm glad I wasn't able to do it. Thanks God, my weakened faith started to get stronger. That EPISODE of depression faded away. I'm glad I was able to write about it and release my anger through that.
The second post has to be Rest In peace series (part 1 & part 2). I wasn't nervous about writing this post, but It was hard for me to write about it. Coping with death is not easy. There was no one I could talk to, I'm not very vocal about how I feel so family wasn't on my list to talk to about it. My best friend couldn't be here at that time. So to be honest I couldn't wait to write about it. The very first thing I did when I came back from the funeral was to write about it. I wanted to get it all out. To tell someone about every detail about it. But to tell the whole world about it was the hard part. I was unsure how people would react to it. I couldn't bear anything bad being said about that, because that post was very close to me.
But eventually I did write about it. I did publish it. I was able to get it all out. Most importantly, as i wrote the Part 2: Peace Of The Present Moment , Everything became clearer and clearer to me, I was able to get a good lesson out of it. I felt more at peace with myself. Obviously it still hurts to think about my niece, it still hurts every time I look at my brother and see his sad smile but life goes on…We have to move on and as I said before, Learn to live in peace of the present moment.

General LEGO Discussion
Posted 05 March 2013 - 07:06 AM
To try and kick things off:
Here's a link my brother sent me a while back: A retired LEGO mold that has produced 120 million bricks. 2 x 3 plates, it looks like.
What's the oldest LEGO set you own? I'm not sure about mine, but it might be this:
The 6845 Cosmic Charger from 1986 - a year before I was born. Not even sure how I got it. Sadly I don't actually have the box, but I still have the minifig floating around, and I remember using the trans-red rods for lightsabers before the official Star Wars sets came out.

The bee girl, obviously.
I finally found Series 9 today! And as usual, stood around massaging plastic bags and picking out the ones I wanted for about a half hour. Took a while to find the Judge and the Forest Maiden. Their hair turned out to be made of a rubbery plastic instead of the usual kind...

Hey does anyone know where one could buy some Space Marines from series 7 of the collectable minifigures? Oh and the series 10 English guy is pretty sweet.
Or, there's the upcoming Project Swapfig.
Unless you get lucky and find a store that still has Series 7 in stock, Bricklink's your only option.

I have about a third of my collection sorted by a combination of color and part type, with the rest unsorted. I've had to pack up and move my collection twice in the past five years, which is not conducive to keeping stuff organized.
Incidentally, this lack of organization is the prime reason my building is so sporadic.

Can someone help me? I have this minifig body that I got with a huge tub down the street. It's blue, has twin rows of buttons going up, and has a US belt buckle. Sorry for the lame description, I'm pretty drained right now. I just want to know if anyone knows what set or series is from. Thanks.

Another Fun Week
This week has been another week of firsts. On Sunday, the Easter Bunny came to see Micah Claire for the first time. Monday was our dreaded 6 month shots. Luckily, they went better this time. Thank goodness she has no more shots till she's a year old. On Tuesday, Mimi came to stay the day with her. On Wednesday night, Nana and Poppa Stan came over for Poppa Stan's birthday dinner. ( I wont say how old he is now; but he's older than 54 and younger than 56) On Thursday Micah Claire got her first taste of green beans. She took to them with no problem (my little veggie eater!) For the last 2 weeks we have been trying to teach her how to suck from the sippy cup. It has been very entertaining to watch. But, Thursday night she mastered it! And, for the best news of all....... Micah Claire is finally sleeping!!!!! She will now sleep from 8:30 till 4:30 straight!!!! Then eat and go back to sleep till I have to wake her at 7:30!!!!! If you can't tell, her Mommy is VERY excited about these new sleeping hours.

Veggie Girl!!!!
On Thursday night we started Micah Claire on carrots. As you can see, she took to them instantly. This girl loves her veggies, which makes her mommy (the dietitian) very proud!!! And, finally after a week of offering her bananas she will eat them without throwing a fit. This week Micah has started (what I call) bear crawling. She walks on her hands and her feet with her bottom straight up in the air. It's truly a sight to behold! (I sure hope that's normal) I have had several people ask to see pictures of Micah Claire's teeth. It's so hard to get her to smile and really show them off. But, if you look really hard at the first picture you can see them.
Micah Claire was suppose to have her 6 month check up and shots today. But, lucky for her Dr. Slay canceled her appointment. So now her shots aren't until Monday. Which means mommy has to dread it for 3 more days.
Micah Claire is all set for her first Easter. We bought her a little yellow Easter basket, just in case the Easter Bunny stops by our house Sunday morning! Tomorrow we are heading to Mimi and Poppa Mike's house for an Easter egg hunt with Emily and Colton. Sunday it will be Easter church and then out to eat with Nana and Poppa Stan at Cracker Barrel!!! It'll probably be another fast and furious weekend that is over before it even starts.

Bumps, Bruises and Scrapes
This week has been full of big spills and big tears for Micah Claire (and of course Mommy too). She tried to climb up on her rocking chair and fell; which left her very first bruise on her left cheek. Then she tried to leap across her crib and that put two marks on her forehead. Next she stood up on her own and apparently tried to take a step. Of course that left her flat on her face with a scratched red nose. Last but not least, she tried to climb up her closet shelves and fell into her baby gate. Which took a chunk out her left eyelid. Poor child!
This week we introduced Micah Claire to bananas. She did not like them one little bit. I thought maybe she would develop a taste for them after a few days, but I was WRONG! She will scream bloody murder if you even try to give her a bite.
On Friday night Micah Claire attended her 1st ever Patterson Federal Credit Union member's meal. Of course it was scheduled right during her nap time, so she was not the most pleasant member there. But, she did win a variety bucket of brittle during the drawing!!!! This Friday is our 6 month check-up and shots. I am dreading it all ready. At least this will be our last shots till she's one year old!!!

It's another Claire
Nana & Poppa have a new baby goat. They said she is so pretty that she had to be named Claire; so now we have 2 Claire's in the family! Micah Claire didn't really know what to think about Claire. She liked her from a far. But, when Claire got close to her she would bust out crying. Now that Micah Claire is crawling she is in to EVERYTHING!!!! In a matter of seconds she can be across the room and into something she doesn't need to be. So, Monday I stuck her in a diaper box so that I could go the bathroom in peace. Turns out she loved the box (who would have guessed). Now the box is her favorite toy. As much as diapers cost, I guess the box should double as a toy too. Last night she slept from 8:30 pm till 5:00am!!!!! We were thrilled!!!!! She is now having cereal at breakfast and dinner. We are going to add a veggie and a fruit this week. Time is just flying by. I can't believe she will be 6 months old on Tuesday.

Genetic Factors Behind High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a well-known risk factor for heart disease. Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have participated in an international study of 200,000 Europeans which has identified 16 new genetic variations that affect blood pressure. The discovery, presented in Nature, is an important step towards better diagnostics and treatment.
A billion people worldwide suffer from high blood pressure and are therefore in the danger zone for the likes of heart disease and stroke. Effective prediction and control of high blood pressure is therefore one of the most pressing global health issues.
Analyzing genetic data
Researchers from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg are among an international consortium of more than 400 researchers from the US, Europe, Asia and Australia hoping to identify which parts of our genes influence blood pressure by sifting through vast quantities of genetic data.
2.5 million DNA variations
In their latest study, the researchers analysed more than 2.5 million DNA variations from more than 200,000 Europeans. The results, published in the renowned journal Nature, reveal 16 previously unknown genetic regions with interesting genes that regulate the body's blood pressure both the lower level when the heart expands (diastolic) and the upper level when the heart contracts (systolic).
Genetic risk groups
With the help of these newly discovered genetic variations, the researchers have constructed genetic risk groups to help predict the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
"We've been able to classify individuals on the basis of how many risk variants for hypertension they have in their genes" says Fredrik Nyberg, a researcher from the Sahlgrenska Academy working on the project.
Important step forward
In another study published at the same time in Nature Genetics, the researchers from Gothenburg identify additional new genetic regions and genes controlling two other measures of blood pressure: pulse pressure (the difference between systolic and diastolic) and mean arterial pressure (an average of systolic and diastolic). The study shows how important it is to analyse different measures of blood pressure. For example, pulse pressure is a marker of rigidity in the arteries carrying blood from the heart to the body, and different genes seem to control different aspects of blood pressure.
The results of the two studies are considered to be an important step towards understanding how the body regulates blood pressure, and the newly discovered genetic regions are potential targets for future treatments.

Hey, you went into Echo & The Bunnymen! (I thought you'd try to go into Morissey's solo output lmao)
Oh that's a neat idea, doing 1 album per month each year! I've been trying to find ways to broaden my music taste/library, and try to critically think and analyze music (I've never done that before and all I really do right now is to see what I like and try to figure out why I like it), and Bowie's been my first foray into that adventure. I've been wowed at just how much his music shifts over the years.
Saw your new avatar; Low is such an amazing album.
I've been on a David Bowie kick for quite a while now, and I've been pleasantly surprised with each subsequent album I listen to. So far, I think Hunky Dory, Low, and Diamond Dogs are my current favs.
I am here again to wish you a happy birthday.
So, happy birthday !!!
Happy bday once more to a fellow 9 May-er, and while you're in your Bowie funk:
Everybody does.
The manga in my signature is called Spirit Circle. It can be found on Crunchyroll or your nearest scanlation agreggator website. Caution: heroine Coco might be slightly loco.
My FC is 2809-8939-5066. What's yours?
Happy birthday !!!!
Happy birthday fellow May 9ther! (I just found out recently I changed my birthday to 'age only' which was why I was confused why my name wasn't on the main page lol) Hope you got to enjoy that Radiohead LP!
Hey, nobody. I'm not on Skype a lot right now, cause Robby is here with me, but Just look for lisa teriyaki from canada with the megaman pic. i'm on facebook all the time if you want to find me there. lisa kotz, again, from canada with the megaman pictures. I don't frequent here much anymore. i really only care about the * board and a few people here. was kinda pissed a while back that i was told to stop talking about megaman in the * board, even though it's half dead most of the time and people were actually enjoying conversing about it for a bit. >_> *sore spot*
anyways, ya. i don't mind listening if you need an ear.
What'd I miss?

The youth of Hizma village have found hope in new educational programs and united powers between villagers. Although they often have their studies disrupted by Israeli road blocks on the way to school or violent clashes inside village, their determination to succeed in their education soars beyond the Wall.
"We believe that education should be a better way to resist than throwing stones at soldiers," said Issam to the Palestine Monitor, a volunteer from the International Youth Forum (IYF) and a hizma resident.
Located in the West Bank with a distance less than 7km north to the old city of Jerusalem, Hizma is segregated and isolated by the Wall where harassment from settlers or armed soldiers happen often on a daily basis.
Aiming to teach young children of their civil rights and medical lessons, Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) and IYF provide both summer camps and courses. They not only aim to give youth a better understanding of the occupation, but also to educate them on how to raise people's awareness around the world about the injustices they face, rather than directly confronting military operations.
"They teach us how to be confident. It is very important when you face difficulties that you are not afraid of speaking up for yourself." Aia, a 17-year-old girl from Hizma who first participated the course four years ago and is now volunteering with PMRS, explained to the Palestine Monitor.
While it is true that there are a number of schools in Palestine teach girls and boys separately, organizations such as PMRS and IFY working in Hizma have supported and encouraged youths to interact with each other in mixed group activities.
"At first my parents don't want to allow me to attend the course. But they saw how I have become more and more confident in myself."
Aia told the Palestine Monitor how breaking the barriers between boys and girls has changed her parents' attitudes to her and improved the unity between villagers. She particularly mentioned that now she no longer fears to ask for helps from either male or female villagers when Israeli soldiers come here.
"I was shy before. But now I know we need to help each other. Guys help girls. We feel comfortable to stay side by side. "
Since April, the barriers have been blocking the roads, sealing off the village for indefinite periods. Youth have often had to go through at least three checkpoints and roadblocks in order to reach their schools. The devastation that occurs here is not just the restrictions on movement, but also rights to education and the psychological impacts for village youth.
"What worries us is kids play on the street, they sometimes don't know the danger of it and think it's a game," Muwafiq told the Palestine Monitor.
Youth fall victim to the daily disruption in particular during the summer or winter vacations. Muwaffiq told us the rate of children being harassed or arrested rises when students do not need to go to schools and spend most of their time in the village, recalling when the village was under siege for nearly a month from July to August.
"They throw tear gas or explosive objects to everyone if they see someone throws stones, or even when nothing happens, they still do," Issam explained. His son had his leg injured by an explosive object thrown randomly by Israeli soldiers two years ago beside their house.
Saleh, a 16-year-old boy, was shot by an explosive bullet in the leg by Israeli solider in December, 2015 after returning from his school exams. "They (Israeli soldiers) left me one hour bleeding. No ambulance, no one helped me."
Saleh was then accused of offensively pushing soldiers while in fact he was resisting soldiers to enter the mosque where many other children were in present. He was detained for one month in Ofer prison until his family paid a 4,000 NIS financial fine. Saleh had to drop out of school for 6 months to recover.
Ismail during his arrestation in december 2015
Another child, Ismail, was arrested at the age of 14. He was detained one day and accused throwing stones at settlers. His house is beside the bypass road, which is an Israeli-built road used by settlers to connect to the main road or other settlements.
"They came at midnight. They said I threw stones at settlers but I didn't. I was just playing around my house. They arrested me and put me outside the building. I was afraid and cold," said Ismail, recalling his memory from that night in late December. He was released on the grounds that there was no evidence for his arrest.
Administrative detention is a detention without trial or charge by authorized administrator. Under international law, this can only be used in exceptional circumstances such as if the person is risk of committing more crime that cause harm in the future. However, this has become a common strategies used by Israel against Palestinian children. According to Defence for Children International Palestine, at least 199 children are being held in military detention every month.
"We lost most of our lands, where else do you expect kids to play?" said Muwaffiq, "but we are trying our best to organize camps and educational events for children here, so that they don't feel bored after school and to keep them away from soldiers on the street."
"We want to teach the teenagers here, the hope for Palestinians now is to achieve better education. This is the most important thing for them to raise awareness internationally and to end the occupation someday," Issam concluded.

Long Commutes for Pilots May Hamper Flying Performance: Study
Fatigue may have played a role in some airline crashes, researchers warn
WEDNESDAY, July 6, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Airline pilots who have long commutes to work may suffer from debilitating fatigue that could hamper their flying performance, a new report suggests.
To combat this problem, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration should find ways to reduce the likelihood that commuting poses a safety risk, according to the report from the U.S. National Research Council.
Jean Medina, a spokeswoman for the Air Transport Association, the nation's largest airline trade association, commended the report and the council for "the extensive work" that went into it.
"As we have consistently stated, we believe the airlines have a responsibility of maintaining schedules that enable proper rest, and pilots have a responsibility to arrive to work rested and ready to fly," she said.
The U.S. Congress asked for the report as a result of concerns that commuting might lead to dangerous levels of fatigue since many pilots do not live near the airports they fly from.
These concerns were highlighted by the fatal crash of a Continental connecting flight (operated by Colgan Air) in a residential area of Buffalo, N.Y., on Feb. 12, 2009, which killed all 45 passengers, four crew members and an individual on the ground.
The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that pilot error caused the crash and that fatigue likely played a role, although there was insufficient evidence to prove it.
"Our study was not charged with looking at the Colgan crash or to reanalyze it," explained Clinton V. Oster Jr., professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University in Bloomington, who chaired the committee that prepared the report. "Part of the problem, particularly in fatal accidents where the crew is killed, [is] it's a big challenge for accident investigators to determine what the role of fatigue was," he said.
Because little research has been done about pilot commuting, the report recommends that pilots get better training about activities they should avoid before showing up for work.
According to the report, pilots should plan their commutes and other pre-duty activities so they will not be up for more than 16 hours after they have completed their day's work.
In addition, pilots should get at least six hours of sleep before reporting for work. Pilots should also get at least six hours of sleep during their work cycles to prevent the cumulative effect of fatigue, the report cautioned.
These guidelines are based on sleep science, said Oster.
"It can be difficult for people to assess their own level of fatigue," he continued. It's easy for pilots to tell when they are extremely fatigued, but there is a continuum that makes it difficult to assess when their performance suffers, he said.
"We would like to see pilots get more training on the patterns they should try to maintain and in how to assess their fatigue," Oster added.
The committee also recommends that the FAA fund a study of commuting distances and other risk factors for fatigue, such as "sleep quantity in the 48 hours before the end of duty on each day of the trip." Some pilots commute hundreds of miles to work or even from the other side of the country before reporting to duty, according to airline safety advocates.
The report noted that less than one-quarter of pilots had a commute distance of more than 750 miles between their "homes of record (i.e., those designated by the pilots on IRS forms and for the receipt of official notices from the airlines)" and the location where they had to report for duty. In addition, 2 percent of mainline pilots and 1 percent of regional pilots either had a coast-to-coast commute or commuted to work from another country, the report stated.
However, the authors cautioned that these figures, based on the zip codes of pilots' "homes of record," might not represent true commuting time, since many pilots may commute from temporary or seasonal residences. And, the authors noted, coast-to-coast flights did not necessarily figure in miles traveled on circuitous connecting flights, so the distance traveled might actually be longer than the straight-line distance between two locations.
"We know very little about ... pilots' commuting practices, the distances they commute," said Oster.
"There are lots of stories and anecdotes about pilot commuting, but there is virtually no systematic evidence. So we don't have good information about the extent to which commuting practices can contribute to pilot fatigue," he said.
Oster insisted that the FAA and the airline industry should get together to assess how well fatigue risk management plans are working.
The International Civil Aviation Organization has been developing Fatigue Risk Management Systems to help airline companies understand fatigue and how to reduce the risks it poses, he said.
These systems could help develop more data on the role of fatigue and commutes in airline safety and recommend ways to lower the risk, he added.
The FAA has proposed a rule which would allow others to assess if a pilot is fatigued. However, right now there aren't valid and reliable tools and techniques to assess fatigue in pilots in the work setting, the committee found. More research is needed to validate tools and techniques and their use in the real-world, the authors noted.

I-895 construction work to close ramps
Potee Street on-ramp to close around Dec. 16
Those who take Interstate 895 in the Baltimore area during their commute need to get ready for some possible delays due to construction that's set to get started in about a week.
The Maryland Transportation Authority is set to begin several projects along the highway, including the replacement of bridges, drainage improvements, painting and repaving.
The work is expected to take up to 18 months and will cause long-term ramp closures.
The entrance ramp from Potee Street and Patapsco Avenue onto northbound I-895 will be the first to close on Dec. 16. Drivers will be detoured onto I-895 via Frankfurst Avenue.
Once that work is finished in about six months, officials said they'll close down the exit ramp from I-895 to Potee Street around June for work there.
MdTA officials said the work will cost about $12.6 million but is completely paid for with revenue from Maryland tolls.

Very early this year - I called the local MS course administrator to ask when the course would be this year - (I am NEW NEW NEW ). After a couple of Q&As she said something along the lines of 'So Im wanting to video tape the classroom portion of this, if you agree to be one of the students for the video - Ill pay for your course'
Um. YA!
So, in April of this year I expect to be doing just that.
In the meantime, I have taken the sample knowledge
Earlier in 2016, I purchased my goldwing, and my Time Out motorcycle camper. I spent a fair amount of time cleaning the camper, rewiring the trailer, and getting the tent repaired so this past weekend it was time to take her for her first run under my ownership! So prepped to go, we depart headed for Plymouth IN to crash at a Holiday Inn Express for the night. Sounds dumb I know, but it was just way to get a few hours north after working hours.
Here's the SS Goldwing ready to depart;
I've been thinking for awhile that I'd like to have a goldwing. 9 years of funeral escorts has turned me on to the raw reliability of these machines. So, about 2 weeks ago I started really looking seriously for one. I started looking at a 93 1500 just south of Indy. I took a look, I assume it ran well, what wing doesnt? The battery was shot, and he couldnt start it at the moment I looked at it, but it was rough. Many years of lackadaisical use, cracks on almost all of the lenses, and not much in
