Anyone read it?
I saw the show on Sky Atlantic and absolutely love it, so decided to read the book. Only just started mind but already wish I'd started years ago.
Can't wait to finish it so I can read the next book before the new series starts in Spring.

The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is celebrating open standards today in an annual event called Document Freedom Day. The event, which was first held in 2008, is observed on the last Wednesday of March. The purpose of the celebration is to raise awareness of the critical role unencumbered interoperability and open standards play in protecting data from vendor lock-in.
According to the FSFE, 34 organizations are hosting 48 events in 17 countries to honor the occasion. The FSFE's list of Document Freedom Day partners includes The Document Foundation, the KDE eV, the Pirate Party of Baden-Württemberg, and many regional Linux user groups.
Document Freedom Day is also endorsed by Google and Oracle, with both credited as sponsors. Many advocates of free culture and open standards issued statements in support of Document Freedom Day, including actor and humorist Stephen Fry.
"Open standards make sense. What makes no sense is that large companies in the field still do not understand this. It is time once and for all to end the pointless nonsense of one document sent on one platform being incomprehensible to the user of another," Fry said in a statement.
The FSFE has published a list of activities interested parties can get involved with to help the cause, including promoting open formats in public libraries and creating street art raising awareness of open standards.
In addition to the typical advocacy activities, the FSFE has come up with an unusual means of drawing attention to their cause this year. The organization intends to send policymakers informational packets including a pair of handcuffs, a gesture intended to symbolize the restrictiveness of proprietary formats.

"Does the job well"
By SMC from New Jersey
A nearby parking lot recently upgraded their security lighting to the point where even with my shades closed my bedroom was bright enough to read a book all night long. These do an excellent job of stopping that light when they're down, and when it's daytime and you want the day light, they take up a minimal amount of the window when opened.View this product
"Nice Roman Shade"
By Tolen from Houston, TX area
I purchased a roman shade for the master bathroom (major renovation). The shade arrived quickly and was very nice. However, the shade would not remain in its position when lowered (it raised on its own approximately three to four inches). I had difficulty installing the shade also (brackets need improvement). I contacted the company and they sent another shade that worked properly (they told me that they did not need the defective one). My wife and I are pleased with the latest shade and the manner in which the company handled the issue with the defective shade. The latest shade really looks nice in our new master bathroom!View this product

Mo. AG sues Kendallwood Hospice over Honor Flight funds
Koster says Kendallwood Hospice refused requests to return money
A Kansas City hospice company is being sued for refusing to return nearly $40,000 that had been donated to send elderly military veterans to Washington, D.C.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster filed the lawsuit Thursday against Kendallwood Hospice Co. and obtained a temporary restraining order freezing $39,878.72 in a company bank account, money he said belongs to Honor Flight Network of Kansas City Inc.
"Honor Flight has the single purpose of ensuring that the men and women who risked their lives for our country can visit the memorials that stand in their honor," Koster said in a news release. "Withholding funds that goodhearted people have donated to make these trips a reality for veterans is an insult to those who have served our country and secured our freedoms."
Koster said Kendallwood had agreed to hold donations for the program in a separate bank account that could be accessed by Honor Flight's president and treasurer to send veterans to Washington.
But in February -- and without notice to Honor Flight -- Kendallwood removed the charity's officials from the signature card for the bank account, leaving Honor Flight unable to access the money, Koster said.
Honor Flight terminated its arrangement with Kendallwood on March 23 and told Kendallwood to transfer the program's remaining funds to the national Honor Flight organization.
The hospice refused repeated requests from Honor Flight to return the money, Koster said.
That led to the cancellation of a planned June 8 flight that would have taken 54 veterans to Washington. Two of those veterans died before their flights could be rescheduled, Koster said.
The lawsuit accuses Kendallwood of engaging in deceptive and unfair practices, improper use of charitable gifts, and violating Missouri law governing nonprofit groups. It asks the court to order the hospice to return all money collected on behalf of Honor Flight, plus pay civil penalties and court costs.
A Kendallwood official acknowledged that the company was named in the lawsuit but said no one there has been served and no one was available to make a comment.

Father arrested in shooting of 5-year-old son
Police say a man has been arrested in connection with a shooting in the 4700 block of Sherwood Drive Sunday, where his 5-year-old son was shot in the leg.
The boy was transported to the hospital.
Police said he was in surgery in stable condition.
According to police, an argument ensued between an intoxicated man, 34-year-old Phong Nguyen, and his wife, and Nguyen began firing his weapon at his wife.
The boy was not in the room but was struck by a bullet through a wall, police said.
Nguyen was booked on charges of attempted first-degree murder, second-degree cruelty to a juvenile and aggravated assault, according to police.

Old guy from Alexandra TownshipMonday, August 25th, 2014
I recently took another short photo walk around the township of Alexandra here in Johannesburg, South Africa. There's always something going on with the hustle and bustle of people flowing in and out of the houses and alleyways. This old guy approached me and was very eager to get his picture taken. This is him.

Clashes as Chile marks 40th anniversary of coup
Protesters marking the 40th anniversary of Chile's military coup are clashing with police, throwing rocks and gasoline bombs and setting up flaming barricades.
Police arrested 13 people early Wednesday and said a police officer was injured in overnight clashes.
The anniversary of the 1973 coup that brought the dictator Augusto Pinochet to power is often marked by violence.
Pinochet oversaw a fierce aerial bombardment of the presidential palace on Sept. 11, 1973. Socialist President Salvador Allende committed suicide rather than surrender.
His death marked the start of a brutal 17-year dictatorship. The government estimates 3,095 were killed during Pinochet's rule, including about 1,200 who were forcibly disappeared.
Pinochet died under house arrest, without ever being tried on charges of illegal enrichment and human rights violations.

Surprised By The Tulips
I didn't write frequently in the last few months due to many things happened going on in my life. It was began by beginning semester loading me with abundant new tasks and assignments, bad news from home and uncertain love stories made me feel blue and down for almost the whole winter time. It seems winter time was full of sad stories to tell. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate winter at all. I love the beauty of season, especially when the snows fell down, cover everything on the ground with its magnificent white color. Everything was frozen and beautiful, such as shown in the frozen movie. The sadness things just came by chance, and had nothing to do with the winter.
Spring is finally coming. Couple of days ago, Umarah, my class mate from South Africa gave me a call, asked whether I could join her and Ahmet to Emirgan Park. I was not really in mood for going, but I thought that would be a good chance and reason to leave my tinny room, getting the fresh air, forget all my problems for a while, and if we're lucky, we could see some tulips as well. So, I said Yes and we met up somewhere to go together to Emirgan Park.
Istanbul has many parks in every corner of the city. But the park where we were unto is the biggest one, and it's also located by the sea where we could the Bosphorus from its peak. Even though that's a bit far from city center, it's worth it t make visit once a while to the park.
Yes, we were lucky. Once we entered the park, I could see some cherry blossoms with its white wonderful colors, the sign that the spring was really there. There was no entry fee to enter the park, however, if you come with the car, there's additional fee so you can bring your car entering into the park.
We were surprised by the tulips. Even though the tulips festival was not opened yet, but most of tulips started blossoming. They are wonderful, with so many different colors. Many grooms and brides were there too, let their photos taken by their photographer, surely they're making pre wedding photos. Jogging tracks are also available if you want to do some sport activities. For children, there were some play ground where kids could do some climbing or jumping on trampoline. Or, if visitors just want to sit and relax, some benches are also available. It seems that my failure to see tulips during my trips in the Netherlands had been paid back.
That was lovely to spend the whole afternoon in the park. And I must said that I was glad that Umarah asked me out, otherwise I would spend my whole day with sitting in my room and feeling sorry about myself. This season helped me to see anything from the other side, or exactly, from the bright side. Well, bad news from home, I just need to accept it, and nothing I could do to make it not happened. All tasks and assignments that really stress me out? Hello, these are that I always wanted to have, right? Uncertain love stories? Seeing this beautiful day, I believe it will end with happily ever after. Even if it doesn't work as I expect to be, that will be fine at the end of the day. I just need to spread more love, and love absolutely will find me, at the right time and the right place.

When this dish was on my menu, I filled rocks glasses halfway with the panna cotta and topped it with a thin layer of soft ganache, a whirl of stabilized whipped cream, housemade mint and chocolate sprinkles and an agar gummy cherry. If you're so inclined, a little chocolate sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles and/or a cherry on top will really take it over the top, but this panna cotta is delicious and nostalgic just by itself.
I tend to use more milk than cream in my panna cotta to give it a lighter texture, but to get the flavor just right I used equal parts in this recipe, just like you would do in an ice cream base. And don't forget the vanilla—it changes the toothpastey pure peppermint sensation into something that actually tastes like a classic ice cream flavor.
Note: You can use equal parts cream and milk instead of the half and half, just use the cream for the heated half.
- Yield:serves 6
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:2 hours
- 3 1/2 cups half and half, divided
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 drops liquid green food coloring
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
Add 2 cups of half and half to a medium saucepan. Stir in sugar and sprinkle with gelatin. Set aside five minutes to allow gelatin to bloom. Gently heat saucepan mixture over low heat, stirring gently. Heat until almost simmering. Both the sugar and gelatin should be completely melted. Remove from heat.
Combine remaining half and half, peppermint extract, vanilla, and food coloring in a medium bowl. Pour hot mixture into bowl and gently whisk to combine.
Place bowl over an ice bath and stir gently with a spatula until mixture is cold to the touch. Do not use a whisk or you will introduce too much air and create a strange final texture in your panna cotta. Once cold, move to refrigerator or freezer. Check every five minutes. Once mixture is thick, remove immediately. This will take about ten minutes in the freezer, up to half an hour in the refrigerator.
While you chill panna cotta mixture, melt chocolate in a small glass or metal bowl over simmering water or in 30 second bursts in the microwave. You want it fluid but not hot.
Drizzle chocolate in thin ribbons over thick panna cotta mixture. Allow chocolate to harden (it will go from shiny to matte) before gently breaking up and stirring into mixture. Repeat until all chocolate is used. Pour into six 8 or 9 ounce clear glasses and transfer to refrigerator to finish setting, at least one hour. Serve.

Coal: The Energy of Right Now
While alternative energy is the energy of the future, fossil fuels are the energy of right now. Coal, especially, is still heavily relied on for energy production and is a primary source of electricity generation in many countries including the US and China. In fact, world coal consumption is actually increasing year-to-year. Scientists need to be concentrating on how to make alternative energies more widespread, but they also need to make coal a better, more efficient fuel source. Designing systems to more efficiently use coal is imperative to minimize the effect coal has on the environment. Coal production is stronger than ever, but its negative effects are made weaker every day.
Electrostatic Precipitators
Environmental standards require that effectively all of the dust from coal combustion is removed before release to the atmosphere. One of the major ways to separate the particles from the flue emissions is with electrostatic precipitators (ESPs). Essentially, an ESP uses electrical forces to charge the particles in the gas. The particles are then collected on metal plates, where they build up to form a dust cake, and are regularly removed. Removal efficiencies are usually at 99.9%, but increasing efficiency is a nonstop process. Reducing power consumption and optimizing design costs are important too, which is where Alstom Power Sweden AB enters into the equation.
Andreas Bäck of Alstom Power and Joel Cramsky of Alvelid Engineering, work to develop and optimize environmental control technologies, including ESPs. Usually, ESP development is an experimental and empirical science, but with COMSOL Multiphysics, they were able to create mathematical models. These models provide a detailed and accurate understanding of the inner workings of an ESP. COMSOL was used to model the ESPs and then compare them to experimental measurement values. This gave confidence in the modeling technique, and allowed for more advanced simulations beyond the experiments previously performed.
For more information, and specifics on how they modeled and the results they obtained, go to page 21 in COMSOL News.

Adult Male
Name: unnamed
Species: Golden Aculeus
Birthday: Monday, October 28, 2019
Owner: 12DragonQueen
Aculeusi are industrious little insects, as soon as they are born to the day that they die. Once one of these insects has grown into adulthood, its task is mainly to find pollen. When pollen has been located, the insect then communicates the information through an elaborate dance. While The Keep's aculeusi caretakers know these signs well, and know how to care for these companions, the rest of the castle is generally pretty clueless. Those interested can learn easily enough, as the aculeusi caretakers are more than happy to teach those who wish to know. It is also interesting that even once full grown, no female aculeus will bear young. The only female in the hive that reproduces is the queen. The queen is hidden away from sight, and is no human's companion. Even the aculeus caretakers may never see the queen. It is important to realize that while a aculeus may be a companion, its first priority is its hive. Though adult aculeus rarely spend time with their magi, they are well loved and respected throughout the castle. The magi take care of these interesting insects very carefully, and make sure that they survive the colder seasons well. A aculeus, if it does not encounter any dangers, will live up to five years, much longer than wild aculeusi. These companions are also three times the size of regular aculeusi, making them easy to spot. Male aculeusi are colored in brilliant orange and black stripes, warning all other creatures to stay away. The females are very pale, and make an enchanting sight.
Aculeusi are renowned for the sweet golden honey they produce. Unlike that of other aculeusi, this honey is imbued with healing properities, and those who consume it heal faster and rarely become ill. One of the castle's many aculeusi caretakers likes to tell a tale of an ancient queen who used to eat this honey with every meal, and even bath in it. The woman was terrified of growing old, and tried desperately to remain young. She used vast quantities of the honey in a veign attempt to become immortal. Although the beautiful woman commanded many warlocks to create a potion for her to escape death, she could not halt the march of time. No death defying potion has ever been brewed, but this honey does help heal broken bones, and cure many illnesses. Naturally, this makes it rather valuable and expensive. The Keep often sells it to far away customers, and uses the money to pay for what food is needed from nearby villages. Wax is also collected from the hives, as the aculeusi produce superior wax that weatherproofs wood and lasts for many years. The aculeusi seem not to mind any of this; indeed, they are very content with their lives in The Keep. There are quite a few magi who find these companions fascinating, and it is these scholars who care for them. Though a magi can have only one of these insects as their companion, aculeusi live in groups, and become despondent without the company of others. There can be anywhere from ten to fifty thousand aculeusi living in a single hive, centered around their queen. These aculeusi leave every day to collect the pollen from hundreds of flowers, then return to the hive. The most affection their human companions will ever experience is when their aculeus buzzes around their head for a while, before resuming its work.

Between 1969 and 1982 British Leyland produced a very successful range of tractors. The company also produced several films to show the tractors working, being built, tested and the introduction of new improvements.
This programme uses six promotional and product launch films to tell the story of the Leyland tractor from it's beginnings to the Marshall takeover. Introduced by Stephen Richmond the films show the first Leyland range being put through a ten day and ten night ploughing marathon, another film looks at the building, testing and use of the 1972 Leyland range around the globe. We then move onto the introduction of the Synchro range in 1978 before taking a fascinating look into the organisation and product range of Leyland Vehicles. We finish with the introduction of the Golden Harvester series in 1980.
By using the archive films in their entirety this programme puts a unique perspective on the only British tractor builder to remain British during its whole lifetime.

Kansas lawmakers plan push on budget, taxes
Leaders pledge to wrap up session by Friday
Kansas legislators return from a long weekend determined to push through tax legislation, new restrictions on abortion, gun-rights legislation, the bulk of the next state budget and every other bill of any significance in just five days.
Republicans leaders have pledged that lawmakers will finish almost all of the year's work by Friday, breaking with their standard practice over the past quarter-century, to shorten their annual session. But to make good on the pledge, some tricky and contentious issues will have to be resolved quickly.
The biggest piece of the puzzle is how to resolve differences on taxes and whether a 2010 sales tax increase is allowed to expire in July as scheduled or remains in place to shore up the state's $14 billion budget for 2014.

Team USA-Spain Gold Medal Game PreviewThe gold medal game will be a clash between 2006 FIBA World Champion Spain and Team USA, which is the number one ranked FIBA team; I don't know exactly how Team USA earned a number one ranking despite not winning a gold medal in a major FIBA event since 2000 but in light of their dominance thus far in the Olympics that certainly looks like the correct call.
These teams met in the preliminary round in a game that was considered to be a test for Team USA but Team USA routed Spain 119-82, shooting .579 from the field, forcing 28 turnovers and holding Spain to .394 field goal shooting, including .214 from three point range. Spain kept within striking distance during the first half, in part because Kobe Bryant went to the bench with early foul trouble; Team USA built a 14 point lead but Spain kept pace with Team USA for more than five minutes in the second quarter with Bryant on the bench, as each team scored 14 points during that stretch. A tip-in by Carlos Boozer just before the halftime buzzer put Team USA up 61-45. Team USA blasted the game open with an 11-3 run to start the third quarter.
Felipe Reyes (19 points, eight rebounds, 9-12 field goal shooting) was Spain's best player in that game, while Pau Gasol had 13 points, six rebounds and five turnovers. Spain's much touted backcourt quartet of Jose Calderon, Rudy Fernandez, Juan Carlos Navarro and Ricky Rubio shot 7-31 from the field (.226) and had seven assists and nine turnovers. Calderon may not play in the gold medal game due to injury.
If Bryant and LeBron James avoid early foul trouble, Team USA could very well jump on Spain right from the start, much like they did while taking a 21-4 first quarter lead in their 101-81 semifinal win over Argentina. I suspect that collectively Team USA is a bit embarrassed by the way that they let Argentina crawl back into that game. Individually, Bryant no doubt would like to make amends for his shot selection (nine three point attempts is too many) and field goal percentage (5-14) in that contest, Carmelo Anthony (3-14 field goal shooting) also had a rough shooting night and James (two assists, four turnovers) made some uncharacteristically poor decisions.
Team USA has posted a 7-0 record in the 2008 Olympics, winning every game by at least 20 points while ranking first in the Olympics in scoring (104.6 ppg), field goal percentage (.544), two point field goal percentage (.641) and rebounding (43.0 rpg). Team USA is forcing 20 turnovers per game while holding their opponents to 74.3 ppg on .386 field goal shooting and .283 three point shooting. Their 30.3 point differential is much better than the 2004 and 2000 versions of Team USA posted in the Olympics (4.6 ppg and 21.6 ppg respectively) and is reminiscent of the dominance of the 1996 and 1992 Olympic teams (31.7 and 43.8 ppg respectively). Team USA is playing so well overall that all the critics and doubters can do is nitpick about a few small details, such as free throw shooting, three point shooting and interior defense.
Free throw shooting is the one legitimate weakness of this team; they rank 11th out of 12 teams with a .670 percentage. One obvious explanation for this is that Dwight Howard (15-31, .484) ranks second on the team in free throw attempts. However, James (11-22, .500) and Dwyane Wade (21-34, .618) are both shooting well below their career averages and that has also pulled down Team USA's free throw percentage. Even Bryant has struggled, albeit in a small number of attempts (4-9, .444). The good news is that Anthony (24-28, .857), Chris Bosh (19-23, .826), Chris Paul (13-14, .929) and Deron Williams (7-8, .875) have consistently knocked down their free throws--and the better news is that Team USA is so dominant in other areas that their poor free throw shooting will be nothing more than a quirky historical footnote. That said, if I were coaching an opposing team, I might consider fouling James, Wade and particularly Howard, especially if I had enough depth to deal with some foul trouble; considering Team USA's field goal percentage, a "hack Team USA" policy might be the opposing team's best chance, with an added psychological benefit of possibly irritating some of Team USA's players and maybe throwing them off of their games. Howard and Anthony in particular seem prone to being distracted and possibly trying to retaliate. I don't think that this approach would really work for a whole game versus Team USA but it might be worth a try; Australia caused Team USA some problems by doing this, though they did not have the talent or overall depth necessary to defeat Team USA.
The main three point shooting weakness of Team USA is that they shoot too many of them: 176 of their 502 field goal attempts have come from behind the arc and even though that is a lower percentage than their opponents' 184/477, it would be better if Team USA did not shoot quite so many long range bombs. That said, Team USA is shooting a solid .364 from three point range and it is understandable that the siren song of that short 20-6 FIBA three point line is difficult for some of the players to resist. As Bryant told Craig Sager, he shoots turnaround shots from that distance in the NBA.
I realize that in some of my game recaps it might seem like I am singling out Michael Redd for criticism but I actually really like his game, particularly in the NBA; he has worked hard to build himself up from a little used reserve to an All-Star caliber player. My beef is with people who believed that Team USA had to add a pure shooter and/or that Redd would play a vital role for this team. What Team USA "had to do" was fix their glaring defensive problems and they did just that by bringing Bryant and Jason Kidd aboard. Team USA shot .369 from three point range in the 2006 FIBA World Championship but did not even make it to the gold medal game. Team USA shot .314 from three point range in the 2004 Olympics but the real problem there was that they allowed their opponents to shoot .441 from behind the arc, essentially making opposing players look like Reggie Miller or Ray Allen. In their disastrous performance in the 2002 FIBA World Championship (which included Team USA's first three losses with NBA players on the roster), Team USA shot .392 from three point range but allowed their opponents to shoot .363 from three point range.
In other words, Michael Redd's three point shooting abilities are a luxury for this team, not a necessity and Team USA could have done just as well--if not better--had his roster spot been filled by a versatile perimeter defender. Redd is averaging just 10.3 mpg, 11th on the 12 man roster. He has shot 10-31 (.323) from the field, including 5-18 (.278) on three pointers. The one time that he came into a game when Team USA did not have a huge lead--in the semifinals versus Argentina--he was ineffective. If his performance had really been as vital as so many "experts" were suggesting beforehand, then Team USA would not be 7-0 right now.
Anyone who still thinks that Team USA needed to add Tyson Chandler or another big man is simply defying reality, because all visual and statistical evidence clearly shows that USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo did a great job assembling this roster. Team USA enjoys an outstanding 43.0-35.7 rpg advantage on the glass and even though certain individual big men have had good games against Team USA (most notably Argentina's Luis Scola, who is having a great tournament overall) no team has posed a serious threat to Team USA in the paint at either end of the court. Meanwhile, the decision to bolster the size, strength and savvy of the backcourt by adding Bryant and Kidd is the number one reason that Team USA is poised to win the gold medal: Team USA's dominance in terms of defensive field goal percentage, defensive three point field goal percentage and forced turnovers is a direct result of Bryant and Kidd, both in terms of their on court play and--just as importantly--the way that they changed Team USA's attitude toward defense. Just look at Team USA's defensive statistics from the 2006 FIBA World Championship, when they settled for the bronze medal sans Bryant and Kidd: .462 defensive field goal percentage, .349 defensive three point field goal percentage, 18.3 turnovers forced per game, 83.1 ppg allowed, 20.5 ppg scoring differential. As noted above, Team USA is performing much better in every one of these categories this time around.
The other big change defensively is the vast improvement that LeBron James has made at that end of the court. Larry Brown has been criticized for not using James, Wade and Anthony more during the 2004 Olympics but at that time those players were youngsters who barely understood NBA defense, let alone FIBA defense. That trio led Team USA in scoring during the 2006 FIBA World Championship but they still were not great defensively and they did not step up individually or collectively at that end of the court during the loss to Greece. In this year's Olympics, James has been a great defender and Wade has been a very active defender, even if he still gambles too much. As for Anthony, let's just say that he still has some room for improvement in this regard; at times he seems to be making more of an effort than he previously did but he reaches too much instead of sliding his feet and he is still out of position too frequently. Part of the improvement defensively by James and Wade can be attributed to the natural development curve of these players, part of it should be credited to Coach Mike Krzyzewski but I also believe that Bryant and Kidd have had a huge impact on the defensive intensity of their teammates; in contrast to the 2006 loss to Greece when Team USA was unable to make in game defensive adjustments, this year on the few occasions when Team USA hit defensive lulls Bryant and/or Kidd could be seen counseling various teammates about what adjustments to make. Their leadership is also very evident from the Team USA practice footage that has been aired occasionally.
Spain will most likely try the few tactics that have had limited success against Team USA: physical play, zone defense, sending Team USA to the free throw line. I would not be surprised if Spain keeps the game close for a quarter or even the first half, but I am more inclined to believe that Team USA will make a statement in the gold medal game by jumping on Spain quickly. Either way, look for Team USA to win by at least 20 points.

What goes wrong in the axiomatic definition of a generalized (co)homology theory if one drops the axiom of homotopy invariance i.e. that homotopic maps should induce the same map in (co)homology?
Or do we have examples? Are there "interesting" or "useful" functors $\mathfrak{h}^{\cdot}:\mathrm{Spaces}\to \mathrm{Ab}$ that respect all Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms except homotopy invariance? Could such an $\mathfrak{h}$ be used to distinguish between two homotopy equivalent non-homeomorphic spaces?
(Take your favourite definition of admissible spaces)

One of the easiest ways to launch a Python script is via ``Drag and Drop''. This is just like launching a text file in the Finder by ``dragging'' it over your word processor's icon and ``dropping'' it there. Make sure that you use an icon referring to the PythonInterpreter, not the IDE or Idle icons which have different behaviour which is described below.
Some things that might have gone wrong:
\r characters
(incorrect line endings?)''. That script probably originated on a
Unix or Windows machine. You will need to change the line endings
to the standard Mac usage. One way to do this is to open the file in
(http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit_lite.html) which can
easily change the line endings between Mac, DOS, and Unix styles.

Ten Tactics for Improving Your Luck
Yep, you read that right. Luck.
To me, luck occurs when a positive and fairly unexpected event happens in your life, whether it be financial or otherwise. Thus, improving your luck means increasing the chances of such positive events happening – and also increasing the chances that you'll be able to take advantage of them.
In other words, there's nothing supernatural about it. No hoping, no holding four leaf clovers in your pocket, no rabbit's foot or lucky coin. No "think and it will happen" Secret nonsense. Just preparation, nothing more, nothing less.
Here are ten things you can do to make yourself more lucky.
1. Keep a notepad and a pen in your pocket at all times.
Wherever you go, keep a notebook and a pen in your pocket (or a PDA or another device where you can easily record notes and thoughts). Information is money, and having the ability to capture ideas when they occur to you or data when you observe it can be invaluable. Some examples:
Writing down creative ideas for your work, whether freelance or otherwise. People ask how I am consistently able to come up with ideas. The real secret isn't creative bursts, it's that whenever I have an idea cross my mind, I jot it down. It might be at the park or in the grocery store or at two in the morning when I'm awakened by my son's cries after a bad dream. The key is to jot them down and not lose them.
Writing down information you learn from others. You're chatting with a buddy and he tells you where you can get a great deal on big water bottles because you're getting into home brewing. Instead of trying to remember what he said when you get home, just yank out your notebook and jot it down. Not only will it help you remember, it can also flatter your friend if you do it right – say, "Really? Wow… I need to remember that one!" then pull out the notebook, jot it down, and then say "Thanks!" They'll feel as though you thought their idea was really important (which it was).
Writing down prices. You're shopping at Sam's Club and observe what seems like a really cheap price on bulk fruit juice, but you're not sure if you can use that much or exactly how good of a deal that is. Write down the price and the quantity now, then do the research later. You might just find yourself saving quite a bit of money.
2. Keep a reasonable amount of cash on you at all times.
Luck requires opportunity, and opportunity requires the ability to jump on things very quickly. The most efficient way to make that happen is often cold, hard cash. From the opportunity to buy a dozen ears of delicious Peaches and Cream sweet corn along the side of the road for a dollar in August to buying some unwanted computer equipment for pennies, cash often ends up being the grease in finding spectacular deals. Here are some ways cash in hand can make you seem lucky:
Getting out of pinches. If you run out of gas in the country, no amount of plastic will help, but a $5 bill at a farmhouse door might get you that gallon of gas you need to get into a nearby town and fill up.
Buying items at deep discounts. Several months ago, I bumped into a friend who was trying to get rid of an old PC. It was in fine condition and was fairly modern, except the hard drive was on the fritz and he didn't want to deal with it. $10 later, I had a new PC. A $50 hard drive later, I was able to resell the whole system for about $200 and about thirty minutes' work. That would have never happened without the $10 in my pocket.
Helping others. See tip #6 for more on this, but quite often having a $20 bill in your pocket when a friend is in a pinch can make all the difference. Helping out a friend when they really need it – and often a bit of cash can do just that – will pay back huge dividends later on, whether you notice it or not.
3. Don't get into a desperate debt situation.
A desperate debt situation, one where debt payments are eating up a significant portion of your monthly income, makes everything more difficult. You have reduced freedom in your life – you're attached to your job, you can't make a radical career or personal move very easily, and you don't have the free resources to make a sudden, significant purchase. Here are three quick tactics for reducing debt:
Spend less than you earn. Spending more than you earn means accumulating debt. Spending less than you earn means removing debt and, eventually, building up savings. Guess which one's better in the long term – and more likely to open up doors for you? Remember that the next time you blow cash without a good reason.
Make a debt repayment plan – and stick to it. It's not as hard as it sounds: identify your debts and start paying them off in a logical order by making extra payments on one at a time until they're all gone.
Don't revert to overspending when your debt is under control. Instead, start saving it. Set up an automatic savings plan with your bank so that the money isn't even there to tempt you. Keep it out of sight until you need it for a specific purpose.
4. Be social.
Most useful opportunities come about as a result of knowing other people and engaging in social opportunities. Being involved in these kinds of situations can open you up to all sorts of new ideas and new opportunities. This can be difficult, particularly if you're the type of person who isn't exactly extroverted. Nevertheless, here are some tactics you can try.
Make an effort to get to know the people around you. The best place to start is with people you see on a daily basis already. Your neighbors. People who work in your building. People you don't know well that are part of your social group. Take some time to get to know these people. Talk to them. Ask what their interests are. Invite them to do something socially with you.
Join social groups – and take leadership positions. Your community is loaded with opportunities to meet people. Dig through the community calendar and find groups that are at work already in your community. Try out ones of interest, then get involved in ones that pique your interest even more. Don't be afraid to step up and take leadership positions – that way, you can really get to know some of the people involved.
Don't sit back and be quiet in group situations. When you are in social situations, don't be a wallflower. Participate in the conversation and don't be afraid to let your voice be heard. If you have an idea in your head, put it out there – even if it's not the strongest idea, it'll likely still spur on the conversation and help you build a connection with everyone involved. That's far better than keeping it inside.
5. Establish relationships with many people who share your interests.
If you're already passionate about the topic, finding and connecting with others passionate about that topic can help you in countless ways. You can tap into their knowledge on the topic, share your own ideas and experiences, and often share things outside of this interest area. Here are some tactics for getting started.
Be an active participant in organizations that match your interests. If you like to read, join a book club and participate actively. If you like to play board games, see if there are any board gaming groups in your area and get involved. The people in these groups already share a passion that you do, so you've already got something in common with them. Plus, it's quite likely that these people will have access to some incredible insights and bargains in your interest area.
Make an extra effort to reach out to people who you've identified as having an interest overlap. If you happen to meet someone casually who has an interest overlap with you, jump on board with that connection. It can provide a great opportunity for you to build a friendship in an unexpected place.
Share your skills, ideas, and knowledge freely with others, particularly newcomers. If you're already involved in a group with a particular interest, make an effort to outreach to new people who might stop in. Not only will a friendly face help to encourage them to get involved, they'll often associate you with a very positive light, as you're the one who broke down some of that "new" barrier for them. Similarly, when people come to such meetings looking for help, don't hesitate to offer what help you can provide.
6. Help others out when they need it.
Luck often comes around in the form of help when you need it, and the best way to "grease the rails" for help when you'll eventually need it is by helping others out now. If you're presented with an opportunity to help – particularly one that you can fulfill without infringing on your other responsibilities – the luckiest thing you can possibly do is help with all you can.
Share your time and resources whenever you can. Always be willing to offer up your help when an opportunity comes along. Give it willingly, without condition – just jump in and help out. The sheer enjoyment of being helpful to others is enough, but when you consider that good deeds often come around in unexpected ways, one kind and helpful hand can provide more "luck" to you than you might ever know.
Build connections that people need. If you know someone who can easily solve a problem someone else is facing, make that connection quickly and immediately. Don't hesitate to call in a favor, either. Make it happen and you'll not only help someone, but you'll help build a relationship between two people who can help each other out.
Don't expect something in return. When you help others, don't expect something in return. Instead, just enjoy the experience of helping that person out and the stronger relationship you're building. That stronger relationship will be there for you later on in your time of need – just trust it and be a helpful friend whenever you can.
7. Shop at places where extreme bargains might be found.
Enough about building relationships – where can I get "lucky" deals? The best place to look is off the beaten path – you're not going to find a great bargain at the local boutique shop.
Avoid "high-end" shops like the plague. "High-end" shops, like the ones littering your local mall, rarely have true bargains. Even the sale items are usually overpriced. Instead, spend your time looking for truly amazing deals elsewhere and avoid that upscale mall (the home of whatever the opposite of luck is) like the plague.
Hit yard sales, consignment shops, local "miscellany" shops, and other bargain basement places regularly. If you're going out to shop, don't head straight for the local chain store. Instead, focus on places where you can find huge "lucky" deals – yard sales, consignment shops, and so on.
Look at Craigslist and Freecycle. Just keep tabs on these by browsing the new entries regularly. You can often find insane deals if you pay attention to these. I've acquired tons of free books and new computer equipment for free, and I picked up a huge Apple Store discount just by asking.
8. Have confidence that you can do something challenging.
Having a diversity of skills and experiences under your belt can often open amazing and unexpected doors for you. Being able to step up and say, "I can do that, I've done it before" can result in all kinds of "lucky" experiences. Here's how to dig in.
Try new activities regularly. Don't just fill your day with the same old routines. Try new activities, particularly ones that stretch your skill and also might be useful to others. Learn how to do lots of home repair tasks. Learn how to do basic maintenance on your car. Know the basics of playing a lot of different sports and games, particularly card games that you might get a chance to play socially. Read a wide variety of books. Listen to a variety of music. Travel to interesting places. These will all teach you new things and get your foot in the door in certain situations.
Push the limits of what you think you can do. Don't shrink back from a challenge. Take it on. If you fail, so what? You'll learn something new from that failure, too. You'll discover only success from the effort put into pushing yourself, and those new limits can open "lucky" doors for you.
Make friends that encourage you to try new things, not discourage you. I'm incredibly lucky in that
my best (non-spousal) friend constantly encourages me to try new things. He was one of the earliest encouragers of my work on The Simple Dollar and he's never been negative towards anything I've wanted to try, always positive. Because of that subtle encouragement, I've been much more willing to try new things in my own life.
9. Know the actual value of lots of items in a particular specialty.
The stories you hear of people buying something for fifty cents and transforming it into something quite valuable, often reselling it for a bundle, often occur because a person is rather knowledgeable about a particular area and the value of items in it. If you have a particular area of interest, just knowing the value of items in that particular area of interest can pay huge dividends.
Keep up with your area of specialty. My area of specialty is trading cards, particularly sports cards and collectible card games. I keep pretty close tabs on going rates for items in this specialty – I browse eBay all the time and leaf through hobby publications in this area. This keeps me pretty up to date about what's going on in those areas.
Keep an eye out for such items outside of their specialty area. For this hobby, that means junk stores in rural towns. If I'm in a smaller town or city and I spot an old coin shop or a junk store, I'll always stop in and look around. The stuff you can find in there is amazing, and it's for reasons like this why I ardently follow tip #2 (keeping cash on hand). I've purchased sealed packages of cards for a dollar a pop in these stores and sold them for over $100 a pop just a few weeks later.
Identify places that often have wildly mispriced items. The best place to look are huge consignment shops and outlet shops where there are tons and tons of items for sale. For example,
a year ago I mentioned an article in The New Yorker that discussed a store chain in Nova Scotia called Frenchy's that basically consisted of huge bins of unsorted clothing bought in bulk. If people dug through these bins, they were finding patent leather boots with high heels for just a few dollars. Similarly, I've bought amazing sweaters and Nike crosstrainer shoes for just a few bucks by going to overstocked outlet stores.
10. When you need something significant, tap your social network instead of buying blindly.
When you're thinking of making a big purchase, instead of just heading out to the store or even just doing research, hit your social network that you've been crafting and see what sort of "luck" befalls you. Here's how.
Keep tabs on any good "inside deals" that a friend might be able to get for you. I have a friend of a friend who works at the Apple Store and has gotten me some significant discounts on items. Similarly, another friend works for a particular electronics chain and has offered to get me 50% off a flat panel television if we ever decide to upgrade. Yet another friend works for an appliance manufacturer and has offered to help us get a great deal on our next washer and dryer (especially timely, since our washer is on the fritz). Whenever I hear about one of these deals, I jot them down so I remember them later when I need them (yes, in my notebook mentioned earlier).
Ask around for suggestions on a purchase. Whenever I look at a big purchase, I not only do my own research, but I call around and ask friends about their similar purchases. Not only does it provide a great conversation opener, I usually learn a lot about the products out there. It can often lead into great bargains as well, as it gives a great opportunity for friends to offer up good "inside deals" that they know about.
Ask around for bargains on a more specific purchase. If you know the exact item you're buying, that's another time to hit the social network. Tell people that you're looking at buying this specific item and ask them where they'd buy it. This again gives your network the opportunity to push you in the right direction with a purchase.
Don't be afraid to ask for help with a very big project. Moving? Reshingling your roof? Erecting a fence? Call on your social network. You'll be surprised what a good barbecue and a few beverages can get you in terms of help, transforming a massive project that would take you weeks into something done in an afternoon with a fun social event to boot. That, my friends, is the best kind of "luck."
Here's the long and short of it: build friendships, give freely of yourself, and put yourself in situations where you can take advantage of opportunities. That's what luck is really made of – putting yourself in positions where opportunities simply pop up instead of just waiting for them to come along.

Getting started is the biggest step in losing weight, but this article is here to help. This article is full of tips designed to help you get on the right track toward weight loss.
A great way to lose weight is to avoid eating late at night, before going to bed. Most people don't realize that eating late at night is bad for you and that you're more likely to store all of that food as fat. It's best to eat a light dinner, instead.
Everyone owns a bike, and using it more than you ordinarily would is a great way to lose weight. If you need to run a few errands that don't require you to travel a great distance, ride your bike. It's a great way to burn calories and boost your metabolism if you have the time.
Mix your fruit juice with sparkling water to increase your weight loss results. While fruit juices are good for you, they are also high in calories and sugar. By cutting the amount of juice in half and adding soda water, you can knock off up to 85 calories per glass.
An effective way to lose weight safely and easily is to do intense work out just once a week. This work out will boost your metabolism, which means that your body will burn more calories through daily activities. To increase the rate of your metabolism, even more, combine this practice with healthy eating habits.
Eating a sufficient number of calories daily is necessary for weight loss. Starving yourself is very unhealthy for a lot of reasons. Without eating food, your body slows down metabolism and attempts to hang on to your energy by storing it as fat. Dieting this way also ends up in binge eating, which results in your gaining weight again.
One of the best ways to lose weight is by eating grapefruit. Studies have shown that when grapefruit is eaten with protein, it triggers fat burning and in turn, causes weight loss. So the next time you go grocery shopping, grab some grapefruit when you enter the produce area.
If you are having trouble making your diet healthier, start by eating anything you eat slower. A lot of people out there are fast eaters so they shove down plate after plate of fatty foods, tending to overeat before they even realize they are full. This habit leads to more calorie consumption which is a large cause of weight gain.
Visualization can be an important tool for weight loss. When you are craving unhealthy food, or just feel like snacking, close your eyes and imagine the way you looked when you were at your ideal weight. This process helps you remember why you want to lose weight in the first place.
When you begin a weight loss program, it is a good idea to remove all foods from your home that you do not want to consume while dieting. Get rid of sweets and salty snacks especially. This eliminates temptation, making it much easier for you to stick to your diet and reach your weight loss goals.
In any weight-loss scheme, the canny dieter will learn to do their cooking. Turning healthy ingredients into healthy meals is a vital skill for losing weight - and for maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the weight is lost. Even pre-packaged foods that claim to be "healthy", cannot be nearly as healthy as a well-planned meal made from fresh ingredients.
Drink coffee to suppress your appetite. Some people think that drinking coffee speeds your metabolism. Studies have found that this might not be entirely true. It does, however, work to suppress hunger and food cravings. If you are worried about your caffeine intake, try drinking decaf instead. It has the same benefits.
While you continue to work towards your weight loss goals, it is important to realize that you will inevitably experience setbacks. Lifestyle changes are never easy, and you are almost certain to hit a few bumps in the road. The key is to plan for events and circumstances that may cause you to lose focus, and formulate a strategy for minimizing their impact on your progress.
Trying to lose weight? Blog about it. Everyone seems to have a blog about something these days. Make your site a place to corral all your weight loss tips and share your successes. It will help to keep you on track and you can feel good about helping other people out on their weight loss journeys.
When you are at the gym, go over to the free weight section and hold a 5-pound weight for a couple of minutes. Notice how heavy that weight will become and visualize that much coming off of your body. You will be amazed at how much 5 extra pounds can feel.
Now you are much more prepared when it comes to losing weight. These tips hopefully provided you with advice to be successful in losing the weight you want.
