Any chance you could do a remake of this song? I like it, but the recording isn't great, kinda throws it for me...
Might actually do that!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Beautiful song, another awesome piano piece.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Beautiful! <3
I'm already learning this song by ear, it's pretty easy and very beautiful.
I love your soundtracks made for Epic Battle Fantasy, they are awesome!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is really really REALLY good! Like all of your other works (%u25D5%u203F%u25D5%u273F)
I was wondering if you had sheet music for this. I would love to play it on the piano and unlike my friends, I'm unable to learn music by ear, so if you do have the sheet music, it would be pretty awesome I could get a copy and learn how to play it. And if you don't want to send a copy to me or whatever, that's also totally fine :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
holy crap wow nice

Don't take them at their wordSeptember 06,2013
Dont take them at their word
If theres one thing that Entergys recent announcement that it will close down Vermont Yankee next year proves yet again, its that the company lies compulsively. Less than a month ago Entergy Vice President Terry Young insisted shuttering Vermont Yankee was never considered a cost-cutting option. Now, as was so succinctly put by Bill Mohl, president of Entergy Wholesale Commodities, This asset is not financially viable, a conclusion reached after months of evaluation by the companys board of directors.
It is very easy to imagine, given Entergys long history of false and misleading statements, as well as the withholding of critical information from regulators and the public, that the announced closing of Vermont Yankee is a ploy to get the Public Service Board to lay off and just give them a Certificate of Public Good, and to get the Attorney General to give up Vermonts fight with Entergy in the courts. After all, theyre closing in a year anyway, right? Maybe not. Theres nothing that says they cant change their mind, that the plants financial viability wont suddenly change, particularly if a Certificate of Public Good or a legal battle, possibly before the Supreme Court, are no longer an issue.
Vermont Yankee is closing. It will soon no longer be producing the most toxic elements known, and to encourage everyone not to let their guard down, to understand that decommissioning once begun is a long and hazardous process being undertaken by a company for whom the plant is now a financial liability. But celebrate, yes.

Chow What Happened to 1200 Bistro?
posted by December 3 at 12:45 PMon
I've heard from at least two people today—both asked not to be quoted—that 1200 Bistro unexpectedly closed for business over the weekend. Employees who had shifts got calls telling them that not only did they not have to come in to work during the snowstorm, but that they no longer had jobs.
Here's what we do know. The ownership of 1200 Bistro recently changed hands. When Barry Rogel, who also owns the Deluxe, bought it in August told the Seattle Times he planned to revamp the wine list and make the menu cheaper.
The new menu wasn't a hit. The most recent review of the 1200 Bistro in The Stranger's reader reviews—posted a couple weeks ago—reads:
Went to check out the new 1200 and was very disappointed. Bad service, even bad host service. The waiter said the soup of the day was a "terrific beet borscht." What arrived was hamburger stew, no beets with an oniony beef broth. The waiter put it down on the table and with out even a hint of apology declared the soup was the way "peasants made borscht" and turned on his heel and left before I could even say "Where's the beets?." I am sure he thought he had pulled a fast one on some rubes. Things went down hill from then on. The waiter's smugness was amusing.
I just called the restaurant to find out what happened and got an outgoing voicemail message saying: "Thank you for calling the 1200 Bistro and Lounge. We regret to inform you that the restaurant is now closed. We would like to thank our loyal customers for their loyal support while we were open, and we wish you happy holidays. Thank you, again."

Grand Theft Auto Online gameplay video now live
I came. Again.
only 16 players tho smh
also fix ur youtube tag pls ash
And it's kinda weird that it's coming out on october 1st instead of september 17th but what the heck it's still awesome.
Customizable races, deathmatches, etc.!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!
Yeah October 1st kind of disappointed but hopefully work out the bugs and stuff.
16 players? Fuck me. Are we living in 2005?
Honestly. 16 players is fine if you have a small map structure like Call Of Duty or Counter Strike, but for Grand Theft Auto it's shit. SA-MP is still the best online experience I've had from Grand Theft Auto. 50-100 players. Absolute carnage. This map is supposed to be bigger than Liberty City, and fuck that place felt tiny with 16 players.
I hate PvP, so a lot of this just excites the hell out of me.
I also wasn't expecting user-created content. That shit is insane.
I can't believe I have to wait two weeks to play online. I even booked the week off because I thought i'd not get off it, now i'm just gonna drop it down to two days otherwise I'll have it finished in a week.
I'm not bothered by having to wait a couple weeks to play online. My free time is somewhat limited (read: I'm an adult with a full-time job and other stuff to do on the side) so it'll probably take me a couple weeks to get through single-player anyway. Plus I get sidetracked really eas
Looks pretty awesome, first time in a while when I'm looking forward to a game release
Holy fuck. Thats all i have to say right now. Watching again.
Oh wow, small detail I just noticed, vehicles now also have licence plates from past decades, there's a 1970's and 1980's California style Licence Plate that can be seen in some pictures.

Wanted - Free Software Enthusiasts in Puerto Rico
Imagine what Puerto Rico would be like, if free software could become a movement for social justice on the island. Well, on Tuesday, February 11th, 2014, the Institute for a Free Puerto Rico planted the seed for this movement. In honor of Aaron Swartz, and in conjunction with the world-wide campaign to end mass surveillance, the Institute is happy to announce the creation of the Libre Planet Puerto Rico team.
You probably already know this, but Puerto Rico is suffering through it's worst economic period ever. With an eight year recession still gripping the island and unemployment over 15%, the Puerto Rican Government and businesses are struggling to remain relevant. Adding to our woes, recently Standards & Poor and Moodys downgraded Puerto Rico's bonds to junk status.
What if you could find a community that was focused on empowering Puerto Ricans to work together to free Puerto Rico from the exploitation, domination and oppression enabled by private ownership of technology, media, and communication? Libre Planet Puerto Rico's vision is to free Puerto Rico from technological and legal barriers for all software and cultural works.
Have you noticed yet, that you might have a role to play in the growth of Libre Planet Puerto Rico? Interested parties are invited to join the team by visiting the Libre Planet Wiki, our home page or joining the conversation on the Freenode IRC server using the #lp-pr-en channel. You may also contact the Libre Planet Puerto Rico directly at info at free dash puertorico dot org.
You have to be careful there
You have to be careful there in the island of ripper cuoto , lives a strange creature called boricua.
Puerto Rico Free Software
Just for my acknowledgment, who has Puerto Rico in Software Slavery??
I want to recommend LJ to visit France Municipal Authority where the french technicians are doing a pretty job using Open Source software. (So German Gov. British Gov., Etc.).
It is the fable of the Ostrich and the little hen; The Ostrich deliver a huge Egg but nobody listen a noise at all, while the little hen deliver a very-very small Egg, and she makes so noise and scandal that every body notices it.
As long as I know nobody in the world (or Heaven or hell) can make me use the software I don't want to use.
I'm fully enthusiast with Open Source and I'd never understood the meaning of "Free Software" except by the NO COST of a piece of software.
They still have people on that island? All the Puerto Ricans moved to New York in the 50s,60s,70s, and 80s when I grew up. There were always more Puerto Ricans in the Bronx and Brooklyn than there were back on the Island. It should just be an official US State and we turn it into an official tourist spot like Vegas or Disney World. The surfing is awesome down there by the way.
Sorry to let you know, but
Sorry to let you know, but the Institute for a Free Puerto Rico is just a bunch of Communists with the one and only aim of total separation from the U.S.. These guys are very loud and can talk bull all day, but only command 5% of the total local population. The "exploitation, domination and oppression" deal is exactly word by word the same rhetoric they use about the U.S., and has absolutely nothing to do with the free/libre software movement. These are also the same folks that are pro-Castro, pro-Chavez and mass surveillance under a dictatorial regime. This tells me either that the Linux Journal is made up of a total bunch of idiots that cannot do basic research on anything or you guys have turned into a bunch of Communists. I mean, what did you guys think the Institute for a "Free Puerto Rico" meant?! Software?! Duh!!!!! You guys are a bunch of morons!!!

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

West Street reforestedJune 12,2014West Street
Volunteers planted 76 crab apple trees along West Street Wednesday.
The plantings are part of Green Mountain Powers Rutland Blooms project, which drew volunteers from Berkshire Bank, City of Rutland, Green Mountain Power, NeighborWorks of Western Vermont, Rutland Regional Medical Center, Stafford Technical Center, The Vermont Country Store, Vermont Council of Urban and Community Forestry and Wilk Paving.
The Village Snack Bar also supported the effort.
The trees were purchased with donations from Casellas, GMP, The Vermont Country Store and Rutland Regional Medical Center. They replaced scrub brush and nuisance trees along roughly 1,700 feet of the south side of the street. The site borders a rail siding, the citys winter snow dump and a recycling facility.
Other Rutland Blooms projects funded by donations from local businesses and individuals are being planned through the fall. The Vermont Teddy Bear Company will give a bear dressed as a gardener to the first 10 people to donate at least $250 to Rutland Blooms. Donations will be used to pay for plants, seeds, bulbs and planting materials for use in public community spaces.
Donations may be sent to United Way of Rutland County Rutland Blooms, 6 Church St., Rutland, VT 05701.MORE IN This Just In

I spend a lot of time in airports.
Air travel is a little easier when you love your job – as I do – and when I can pass the time in between flights visiting with my fellow travelers. Some of the most interesting conversations I've had have taken place in an airport … maybe because people there come off a little more honest, a little more vulnerable, with those they likely won't see again.
But I'm finding those airport conversations a little harder to come by.

Damn Again: Gucci Mane Arrested in Atlanta
Before you read this, let me tell you a story. I recall an interview Jeezy had for the promotion of TM102 and before he walked away from the camera he said (and I quote), "that n*gga Gucci's retarted–no, foreal." You could TELL that he was not joking and that Gucci could've potentially rode the small bus at one point or another. That statement can put his whole character (and this situation for that matter) into perspective. Now, Continue on..
Rapper Gucci Man has been arrested for a myriad of traffic infractions and had to be restrained with pepper spray, according to published reports.
Gucci, real name Radric Davis, is charged with driving on the wrong side of the road, running a red light or stop sign, damage to government property, obstruction, no license, no proof of insurance and other traffic charges, Atlanta Police spokesman Curtis Davenport told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Furthermore, the report says Gucci had to be subdued by police with pepper spray.
The rapper was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for a medical check up. From there, he is expected to be moved to Fulton County Jail.
Gucci Mane was just released from Fulton County jail in May for violating parole.
"I have made some mistakes in my life that have hurt a lot of people who care about me," Gucci Mane said just after being released from prison in May.
"I have worked very hard to get past them, but those mistakes have brought me to where I am today, and they will not be repeated," Gucci Mane said. "These past six months have been a difficult time, but fortunately I have learned a great deal from my experience. I was able to do a great deal of soul searching; I am coming out with a new attitude towards life."

Greenville man sentenced in death of retiree
Published: Friday, May 23, 2008 at 8:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 23, 2008 at 8:43 a.m.
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- A man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after a jury found him guilty of robbing and killing a 70-year-old man in his Greenville home more than two years ago.
The Greenville News reported a jury took four hours Thursday to find 31-year-old Walter Gaines guilty of murder and armed robbery.
Prosecutors say Gaines knew T.J. Gordon kept a lot of money on him and beat the retiree so badly he had a heart attack and died in his home in November 2005.
Gaines did not speak before he was sentenced, and defense attorney John Abdalla says he told him not to talk because he feared Gaines might disagree with the verdict.

Downe Turns Bank of Montreal From Laggard to Top Bank
William Downe spent his first two years atop Bank of Montreal confronting trading losses, credit writedowns and an underperforming stock. The third year proved different.
Bank of Montreal is the best-performing Canadian bank stock this year and one of three to top analysts' estimates after posting record second-quarter profit on May 26. The bank also offers the second-highest dividend yield among the nation's six biggest banks, at 4.44 percent.
"The ship has been righted," said Juliette John, portfolio manager at Bissett Investment Management in Calgary, which oversees about C$11 billion ($10.6 billion) including Bank of Montreal. "Bill Downe has set out with some goals and it appears as though they are being followed through."
Downe, 58, started his first day as CEO in March 2007 by cutting 1,000 head-office jobs and shifting the bank's emphasis to Canadian consumer banking, which now represents 52 percent of profit versus 41 percent three years ago. Downe guided the bank through the U.S. subprime mortgage market collapse, posting almost C$2 billion in writedowns -- less than a 10th of the C$23 billion taken by Canadian banks.
Downe has also bought banks in Wisconsin, the Canadian life insurance operations of American International Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc.'s North American Diners Club franchise to bolster revenue.
Top Gainer
The Toronto-based lender has gained 13 percent this year, compared with a 3.9 percent gain for the nine-member Standard & Poor's/TSX Banks Index. Royal Bank of Canada, the largest lender, has fallen 2.9 percent. Bank of Montreal is also the top-performing stock among Canada's six biggest banks over the past 12 months, with a gain of 43 percent including dividends. The stock fell 10 cents to C$63.05 at 4:10 p.m. in trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
"BMO seems to have really improved over the last year or so," said David Cockfield, who oversees about C$300 million including Bank of Montreal shares at MacNicol & Associates Asset Management Inc. in Toronto. "The investment community is now giving BMO more attention and I certainly haven't been a seller, even at these levels."
The rally contrasts with Downe's start as CEO, after 24 years of assignments for the bank in Houston, Chicago and Toronto. Bank of Montreal had eight straight quarters of profit declines in the first two years of his tenure, making Bank of Montreal the worst-performing stock among Canada's publicly traded banks over that time.
Trading Losses
Two months after he took over the top spot, Downe disclosed that Bank of Montreal lost as much as C$450 million from trading natural-gas contracts. Those pretax losses later ballooned to C$853 million that year, becoming the biggest commodities trading loss for a Canadian bank.
The lender also posted C$1.93 billion in writedowns over two years on derivatives and other investments tied to the U.S. subprime mortgage-market collapse. Canada went through its first recession in 17 years in Downe's second year on the job.
"When you look at Bill's tenure as CEO, he stepped in at exactly the wrong time," Barclays Capital analyst John Aiken said in an interview. "For the first 18 months he headed the organization, he was putting out fires."
The bank hasn't recorded any writedowns in the past year, according to company statements. Profit rose to a record C$745 million in the second quarter, and net income has risen in the past four quarters; revenue has climbed in each of the past five quarters. Six analysts now rate the bank "buy," second only to Toronto-Dominion Bank among buy ratings for Canadian lenders, according to Bloomberg data.
U.S. Expansion
"BMO has gotten into a better risk-management mode, and there haven't been any real surprises," Cockfield said. "You kept waiting for something bad to happen because that was more or less the pattern of the past."
The lack of writedowns and reduced provisions for loan losses has allowed Downe, whose compensation rose 25 percent to C$7.45 million last year excluding pensions, to resume U.S. expansion.
Downe told investors in March that he favored building from within, though he'd consider "small and medium-sized acquisitions over time" if they made sense.
Bank of Montreal bought assets of failed lender Amcore Bank in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.-assisted deal in April, adding 52 branches in Illinois and Wisconsin.
"We put in place a clear strategy to transform BMO, with a relentless focus on delivering an excellent customer experience," Downe said in an e-mailed response. "The contribution of personal and commercial banking to our earnings mix has been growing as a consequence."

Woman fatally shot in road rage incidentSeptember 26,2013The Associated Press
ST. ALBANS - Police in St. Albans, Vt., say a man who ran a red light fatally shot the female driver of a car he nearly struck after the two got into an argument.
Police said they arrested 30-year-old Matthew Webster of Swanton on suspicion of murder a short time after the shooting at about 5:40 p.m. Wednesday and seized a gun from him.
"We believe this was a case of road rage that went awry and turned violent," Lt. Ron Hoague with the St. Albans Police Department said.
After the red light was run at North Main and Lower Newton streets, police said the driver of the car that was nearly struck, 31-year-old Anna Alger of Highgate, followed Webster's vehicle and confronted him. Police said Webster is accused of taking out the gun and shooting her multiple times. They said the two didn't know each other.
Alger was taken to Northwest Medical Center, where she died.
Police also said Webster's wife had been following her husband in another car and witnessed part of the incident.
Webster was expected to be in court Thursday morning. It wasn't immediately known if he had a lawyer.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

The plugin update for Day 7 of the 14 Days of Plugins was actually the update of four existing plugins in the form of deprecations. These four plugins were originally conceived of to fill missing or incorrect behavior in the WordPress core. Since their release (and for most, as a direct result of their release), WordPress has been updated to include the behavior provided by the plugins. Thus, these plugins are no longer necessary.
- Never Moderate Admin or Post Author
- No Duplicate Comments
- Notification Disabler
- Sync Draft Slug and Title
Details about the deprecations can be found here.
These represent updated plugins #7 - 10.

Back End Load
We'll skip the inappropriate jokes and just say that back end load refers to mutual fund b-shares, where you pay fees and commissions when selling your fund, not when you buy or when you hold (see b-shares). Here, "load" is commission and "back end" means that it's paid at the end of the holding period (when you sell).

Bloody hell, he is and all. He has got boyish looks though, so you can see what Arsene sees in him.
Oh, and we've got somebody slagging people off for name calling I see, what a hypocrite.
Having now buckled under the media pressure to make some kind of worth while signing instead of hoping to rip off yet another east African prodigy from some club in France, is this now the beginning of the end for the prune faced one ?. If Arshavin turns out to be a one season wonder who simply fails to cope with premiership tempo, and Arsenal end up battling with Everton for the last 2nd class ticket into Europe, will the Arsenal fans kick him out and get in Juande Ramos ?.

|Mandatory regulation of broadcast food advertising to children
In 2012, the Chilean government approved a Law of Nutritional Composition of Food and Advertising (Ley 20, 606). In June 2015, the Chilean authority approved the regulatory norms required for the law's implementation (Diario Oficial No 41.193). The regulatory norms define limits for calories, saturated fat, sugar and sodium content considered "high" in foods and beverages. The law restricts advertising directed to children under the age of 14 of foods in the "high in" category. The regulatory norms define advertising targeted to children as TV programs or websites directed to children or with an audience of greater than 20% children, or in commercial breaks before, during or after these shows, and according to the design of the advertisement. Promotional strategies and incentives, such as cartoons, animations, and toys that could attract the attention of children are included in the ban, as is advertising of foods in schools (see below). These are scheduled to take effect 1 July 2016. (See "N" for details of the labelling regulations.)
Broadcast advertising of soft drinks has been prohibited since 2004. In 2014, in the context of the Iranian Fifth Five-Year Development Plan (2011-2015), the Ministry of Health and Medical Education prepared a list of 24 food items to be prohibited from advertising in all media. The list has been sent to the Commerce, Industry and Finance ministries for approval.
Advertising, sponsorship, teleshopping and product placement of foods high in fats, sugars and salt, as defined by a nutrient profiling model, are prohibited during children's TV and radio programmes where over 50% of the audience are under 18 years old (Children's Commercial Communications Code, 2013 revision). In addition, there is an overall limit on advertising of foods high in fats, sugars and salt adverts at any time of day to no more than 25% of sold advertising time and to only one in four advertisements. Remaining advertising targeted at children under the age of 13 must not include nutrient or health claims or include licensed characters.
In February 2014, the Ministry of Health issued an Order restricting the advertising of foods and sweetened beverages, defined according to a nutrient profiling model. The restrictions apply to TV programmes classified as "A" within the times of 2.30-7.30pm on weekdays and 7.00am-7.30pm on weekends, where over 35% of the audience are under age 13. Advertising for these foods is also restricted in films classified as "A". Implementation began on 15 July 2014 for sweetened drinks, potato chips, chocolates and confectionary and will be extended to other foods covered by the nutrient profiling model in January 2015.
|South Korea
TV advertising to children under 18 years of age is prohibited for specific categories of food before, during and after programmes shown between 5-7pm and during other children's programmes (Article 10 of the Special Act on the Safety Management of Children's Dietary Life, as amended 2010). The restriction also applies to advertising on TV, radio and Internet which include "gratuitous" incentives to purchase e.g. free toys.
Food advertising and promoting restrictions to children under the age of 12 came into effect on 1 January 2016 (Regulations Governing Advertisement and Promotion of Food Products Not Suitable for Long-term Consumption by Children, pursuant to Article 28 Para 3 of the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation).
Restricted food products include snacks, candies, drinks, ice products and food products with fats >30% of total calorie content, saturated fat >10% of total calorie count, foods with >400mg of sodium per serving and foods where added sugars account for >10% of total calorie count.
Restricted food products are banned from being advertised on "dedicated TV channels for children" (determined by TV channel operators) between 5-9pm. Currently there are 13 "dedicated TV channels for children". Restricted food products are also banned from being advertised and promoted with toys that are given as free gifts or with an additional price, including at fast food chain restaurants.
Violations to these regulations result in a fine between NT$40,000 - NT$4 million.
|United Kingdom
Advertising and product placement of foods high in fats, sugars and salt, as defined by a nutrient profiling model, is prohibited during TV and radio programmes that have 20% or more viewers under 16 years old relative to the general viewing population (includes sponsorship of TV programmes). The restrictions came into force in February 2007, with a phased implementation by advertisers by end of 2008.
|Mandatory regulation of food advertising on non-broadcast communications channels
In 2012, the Chilean government approved a Law of Nutritional Composition of Food and Advertising (Ley 20, 606). In June 2015, the Chilean authority approved the regulatory norms required for the law's implementation (Diario Oficial No 41.193). The law restricts advertising directed to children under the age of 14 of foods in the "high in" category. The regulatory norms define advertising targeted to children as TV programs (see above) or websites directed to children or with an audience of greater than 20% children, and according to the design of the advertisement. It also restricts advertising to children on the radio and in magazines. Promotional strategies and incentives, such as cartoons, animations, interactive games, apps and toys that could attract the attention of children are included in the ban, as is advertising of foods in schools (see below). These are scheduled to take effect 1 July 2016. (See "N" for details of the labelling regulations.)
|South Korea
Internet advertising which includes "gratuitous" incentives to purchase (e.g. free toys) are prohibited (Article 10 of the Special Act on the Safety Management of Children's Dietary Life, as amended 2010).
|Mandatory regulation of food advertising through any medium
The National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (Conanda), coordinated by the Federal Government, published a resolution (Resolucao 163 Conanda, 13 March 2014) that establishes criteria for publicity and marketing aimed at children (up to 11 years) and adolescents (12-18 years) and prohibits any kind of 'abusive publicity'. This resolution can be applied to food publicity, where 'abusive publicity' includes any form of market communication (including TV, radio, internet, apps) intended to persuade children and adolescents to consume a product or service using strategies such as childish language, child songs or music sung by children, child representation, people or celebrities that appeal to children, comics or animations, dolls or puppets, promotions using prizes, collectible gifts, competitions or games that appeal to children.
The Conanda resolution is enforced by the Consumer Defense Code (Law 8078/1990) and the Child and Adolescent Statute (Law 8069/1990) and violations are investigated by public authorities. It is reported that in practice, there are many difficulties in fully implementing these restrictions.
In 2013, the law "Promoting Healthy Eating for Children and Adolescents" (Ley No 30021) was passed in Peru. The technical parameters for food and drinks considered high in sugar, salt and saturated fat (required for the law to be applied) were approved in April 2015 (Supreme Decree No 007-2015-SA): sugar: ≤2.5 g/100 mL of drink, ≤5 g/100 g of food, salt: ≤300 mg/100 mL of drink or 100 g of food, saturated fat: ≤0.75 g/100 mL of drink, ≤1.5 g/100 g of food.
The law includes a range of provisions designed to discourage unhealthy diets, including restrictions for advertising aimed at children and adolescents under the age of 16 years through any medium, including not using age inappropriate portion sizes, not using gifts, prizes or any other benefit to encourage purchase or consumption of food or drinks, not using real or fictional characters known to children. The law also includes warnings on advertising for foods high in saturated fats, sugars and salt, and containing trans fats: "High in sodium/sugar/saturated fat: avoid excessive consumption", "Contains trans fat: avoid consuming".
It is reported that industry compliance is poor and that industry is waiting for the publication of the full implementing regulations (in addition to the technical parameters).
|Mandatory regulation of specific food marketing techniques
The 2009 Children's Commercial Communications Code (as amended 2013) states that food advertising to children under the age of 18 must not feature celebrities, and to children under age 15, not include characters and personalities from children's programming.
|United Kingdom
Product placement is covered by restrictions on broadcast advertising (see above).
|Mandatory regulation of food marketing in schools
In 2012, the Chilean government approved a Law of Nutritional Composition of Food and Advertising (Ley 20, 606). In June 2015, the Chilean authority approved the regulatory norms required for the law's implementation (Diario Oficial No 41.193). The law restricts advertising directed to children under the age of 14 of foods in the "high in" category, including TV programs, Internet, radio and magazines (see above). In addition, the regulatory norms ban the promotion, marketing, or advertising of these products in pre-school, primary and secondary schools. These are scheduled to take effect 1 July 2016. (See "N" for details of the labelling regulations.)
The 2006 Act on Food and Nutrition Safety (Journal of Laws, item 1225) was amended in November 2014 (Journal of Laws, item 1256) to include rules for sales, advertising and promotion of foods (based on a list of food categories) and nutrition standards for canteens in pre-schools, primary and secondary schools (see "O" for details). The amended act prohibits the advertising and promotion of foods in schools that do not meet the nutrition standards set out in the new regulation (Act of 28 November 2014 amending the act on food and nutrition safety), created by the Ministry of Health. The new act came into effect 1 September 2015.
In 2011 the Spanish Parliament approved a Law on Nutrition and Food Safety (Ley 17/2011), which stated that kindergartens and schools should be free from advertising. Criteria for the authorisation of food promotion campaigns, nutritional education and promotion of sports or physical activity campaigns were developed jointly by the Spanish Agency for Consumer Affairs, Food Safety and Nutrition (AECOSAN) and the Regional Health Authorities and implemented in July 2015. AECOSAN and the Spanish Regional Education and Health Administrations monitor the enforcement of the law.
|United States
In 2007, the state of Maine passed a law prohibiting brand-specific advertising of certain unhealthy foods and beverages on school grounds, at any time. The ban applies to "foods of minimum nutritional value" as defined by federal law. It is reported that compliance with the ban is poor.
In September 2013, the government of Uruguay adopted Law No 19,140 "Alimentación saludable en los centros de enseñanza" (Healthy foods in schools). The law prohibits the advertising and marketing of foods and drinks that don't meet the nutrition standards [referenced in Article 3 of the law, and outlined in school nutrition recommendations published by the Ministry of Health in 2014 (see "O")]. Advertising in all forms is prohibited, including posters, billboards, use of logos/brands on school supplies, sponsorship, distribution of prizes, free samples on school premises and the display and visibility of food. The law began to be implemented in 2015.
|Mandatory requirement that advertisements must carry a health message or warning
All television advertising (targeted at children or adults) for processed food and drinks, or food and drinks containing added fats, sweeteners and/or salt, must be accompanied by a message on the principles of dietary education as approved by the National Institute of Health Education. The messages were defined by a 2007 Decree: "For your health, eat at least five fruits and vegetables a day"; "For your health, exercise regularly"; "For your health, avoid eating too many foods that are high in fat, sugar or salt"; "For your health, avoid snacking between meals".
|Government engage with industry to develop self-regulation to restrict food marketing to children
The Code of Responsible Food Marketing Communication was issued by the Forum of Responsible Food Marketing Communication, a cooperation between Danish industry organisations of the food and beverage, retail and media sectors. The Code is a voluntary, self-regulatory initiative effective since January 2008, applicable to food and beverage marketing to children aged 13 and under via media outlets (TV, radio, internet, SMS, newspapers, comic books). The Code sets guideline limits for salt, sugar and fat content in ten food categories. It is recommended that food products exceeding these limits should not be marketed to children. Food manufacturers themselves determine if their products are suitable for marketing to children. Compliance is checked by the secretariat of the Forum. The Danish government follows the results of the Code, and annual status meetings are held between the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and the Forum.
In 2011, the Ministry of Health signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the Federation of Food Enterprises and the soft drink business association to encourage changes to children-oriented soft drink advertising.
The government already restricts all broadcast advertising to children through legislation in Norway. A voluntary initiative agreed in 2013 calls on industry to follow standards (set largely by government) on a further range of communications channels. It applies to marketing to children under the age of 13.
A voluntary code developed between government and industry sets general guidelines and restricts product placement and use of celebrities in food advertising for signatories.
|Government support voluntary pledges developed by industry
|European Commission
United States
Governments have stated they support the implementation of "pledges" developed by food companies which restrict advertising of foods (varies by company) to children under age 12 through specified communications channels (typically TV, radio and internet).

Across four studies, we directly compared children's essentialist reasoning about the stability of race and language throughout an individual's lifespan. Monolingual English-speaking children were presented with a series of images of children who were either White or Black; each face was paired with a voice clip in either English or French. Participants were asked which of two adults each target child would grow up to be – one who was a 'match' to the target child in race but not language, and the other a 'match' in language but not race. Nine- to 10-year-old European American children chose the race-match, rather than the language-match. In contrast, 5–6-year-old European American children in both urban, racially diverse, and rural, racially homogeneous environments chose the language-match, even though this necessarily meant that the target child would transform racial categories. Although surprising in light of adult reasoning, these young children demonstrated an intuition about the relative stability of an individual's language compared to her racial group membership. Yet, 5–6-year-old African American children, similar to the older European American children, chose the race-match, suggesting that membership in a racial minority group may highlight children's reasoning about race as a stable category. Theoretical implications for our understanding of children's categorization of human kinds are discussed.

Expect the Blessing
The other day someone told me that if they hit the lottery they'd give me the ticket. I was the only person they knew that actually prayed about what to do with the windfall when it comes.
Several years back I began talking to God about what to do with the million dollar check that the man would show up at my door bringing. Then the lotteries began making news and I stretched my budget out a little farther. 'Lord, when you bless me with 87 million dollars what do you want me to do with it?'
The scripture tells us to plan for the blessing and to expect it. So I plan for every possible scenario you can imagine – a long lost relative leaving me a giant inheritance or my first book hitting the best seller list and getting me a great big bonus check!
All this thinking and planning (and praying) has led to some surprises along the way. It seems that the more I challenge my scenario with different figures the fewer things I think about for myself. The last time I did the little exercise the amount spent on me and my immediate family was less than 25% of the winnings (and that included money set aside for investing).
What would you do with the money if you won the lottery or received a large inheritance? Make a list and then make a separate list with the things that you think God would want you to do with that same money. You might be shocked to find that over time the God list begins to consume my list.
It is my belief that when His list becomes the only list then the blessing will show up.
One Response to "Expect the Blessing"

well said. God recently impressed "expect" on me… and HIS promises are YES and AMEN!!!

Video of Edward Snowden Talking at a Fancy Dinner Released
He seems unchanged.
The last time the world actually heard Edward Snowden was back in July, when he was taped pleading for asylum in the Moscow airport. Since then, we've seen a few still photos — including this week's alleged grocery-shopping shot — but it's been tough for the NSA leaker's biggest fans, who have been stuck replaying those tired old Guardian video interviews when they want to hear their hero's slightly nasal voice. Thankfully, WikiLeaks has released some clips of Snowden moving, smiling, and speaking on Wednesday as he received a whistle-blowing award from four former United States security officials representing an organization called Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence.
Clad in a blazer and his signature blueish-gray button-down shirt, Snowden can be seen holding forth on the difference between "legitimate spying, legitimate law enforcement...based on reasonable suspicion" and a "sort of dragnet mass surveillance that puts entire populations under sort of an eye that sees everything even when it's not needed," as well as, "A government where we have an executive at the Department of Juice that's unwilling to prosecute high officials who lied to congress and the country on camera, but they'll stop at nothing to persecute someone who told them the truth." The Americans who met with Snowden refused to say where the even took place or where exactly its honoree is living, but Russia doesn't appear to have changed him very much.

Whenever I hear solos from professional guitar players, in songs, for example, I never hear a loud noise of pick hitting the strings, even when the guitar is heavily distorted. I just learned a solo on my electric (with a tube amp), which requires heavy distortion. I use a hard pick (jazz III) and the sound of picking the string is very apparent. Is there something I can do with my setup to avoid this or at least minimize its prominence? Btw, I use the natural amp distortion with a Gibson Les Paul. Thank you!
Several issues come into play here. I use Jazz III picks, and I am of the opinion that for fast playing, hard picks should be used. There is a possibility that you are using too much gain, or extreme EQ settings which amplify the unwanted noises. Even so, using used picks will produce more noises, since they get a jagged edge. Most important though, is to minimize the area used when picking. Ideally just the tip of the pick should hit the string. This will reduce the possibility of these sounds, since less of the pick is interfering with the string.
There were special practice picks for the purpose of playing with just the tip of the pick, Stylus I think they were called. Don't know if they, or similar things are available still, but try to be aware of how much of the pick is used for producing the tone at any rate.
When I first started playing the electric guitar seriously, loud pick noise used to be a big problem for me, to the point of obsession (you tend to hear more when you're annoyed with it).
Then it gradually disappeared. I think it was all about my bad picking technique; I probably used to hold the pick with too large of an angle. Now I have the ability of controlling the pick noise by changing the angle. More noise when I want more noise and less noise when I want less noise.
By the way, I don't agree with scrowler's answer. I find that soft picks actually make more pick noise (which is actually very good for certain types of music). I'm playing right now and my .60 mm Planet Waves definitely makes more noise than my .98 mm Jim Dunlop Delrin 500. For reference, the latter is my favorite for lead work; I love its sharpened edges.
Hard picks are often the culprit here. You should try using a softer pick. Pick size vs tonal quality doesn't matter as much with distortion as with jazz tone for example, you really can get away with hitting a string quite softly and still getting adequate volume. I think the pro tone you're referencing is a combination of picking softly (not necessarily the pick thickness) and making sure your pick hand palm is controlling the strings from the bridge so as to block any excess output from other strings.
FYI I've played a heavily distorted version of Jesus Christ Superstar with a 3.5mm gypsy jazz pick and you can get away with it as long as you're careful with your pick when you hit the string, but it's much easier to achieve consistent results with a softer pick.
I used to have this when using hard plastic picks, but I swithced to the Dunlop nylon type (.60-.72 mm).
Even the thicker ones are ok because the material itself isn't hard, so there's less chance of it causing a racket as it hits the string.
As others have stated, skilful picking will get around it. For me, I normally put the pick away when aplying a solo and use my fingers, thus sidestepping the issue entirely.
But if I do use a pick, the Dunlop ones help a lot.
It's rather simple. Reduce the Volume knob on your guitar which is meant for your pickup to a limit wher you cannot hear sliding sounds. Then recompensate turning your amplifier gain a bit harder
First I would say try a more rounded pick and see if it helps you achieve the sound you want. I personally never got used to the pointy edge of a jazz III.
For a thick rounder pick I'd recommend tortex .88 It might help, and if it doesn't you only spend 50 cents!.
Secondly, the absolutely hands down best way to improve the "sound production" aspect of your playing, is play an acoustic. You hear every sound your hands make and it causes you to naturally refine your technique to something a little more elegant.
Whenever I have a student who's got an ugly right hand thing going on (and by ugly I mean no real nuance, and the pick sort of "catching" the strings rather than plucking them) 90% of the time they're a mainly or exclusively electric player. If you have the option on playing an acoustic a bit, then I promise it will help. Just play a few folk tunes or scales that aren't a challenging standard for you so that you can focus on the quality of the sound you make. Experiment with different ways of playing and find what works for you
ps.s I firmly disagree with people who say the answer is a softer pick. This is just my opinion, but I think you should learn to use a hard pick even if you then choose not to. You are so much more versatile, a thin pick is a short cut to an easier playing style, but you lose depth.
I play classical as well, so I shape and sand my fingernails to a glass like finish with 12000 grit sand paper, and they sound really nice, now I have the above mentioned problem and I polish my picks the same way I do my nails and it helps allot. I agree with not using very much pick at all and working on the angle you attack the string. I used to use very little pick but in the last 10 years I have had long right hand fingernails and cannot play as close to the string as I want, would chew up my nails in an hour, so forced to focus on other areas to help with noise, all the above mentioned plays a factor, some more than others. Try and change little by little too get what's causing your issue
few things you can try here, a noise supressor pedal can help eliminate the pick noise but too much can cause you to lose sustain. also see if you can lower your pickups a little and use more volume and eq from your amp to get the tone you need and may lose. most of the time you don't lose enough to notice unless you bottom out the pickups. a pickup too close will pick up all the noise from your strings and pick. And. I Play lead so i use 88mm and larger picks. i sharpen the pick to a point so that i have to keep my fingers closer to the end and i get a crisper tone from my strings. (it also keeps you on your toes when tremelo picking (shredding)).
