Hanoi - Medical staff in central Vietnam saved a newborn baby from being ritually buried alive alongside his dead mother, a news report said on Friday.The five-day-old boy was due to be buried in Quang Nam Province on Wednesday after his mother died in childbirth. The practice is customary among the region's Se Dang ethnic group.The baby was rescued by local health clinic worker Ho Thi Hieu, who persuaded the villagers to let her take the baby to the district health centre for treatment, state-run newspaper Viet Nam News reported.Hieu, from a Se Dang, has decided to adopt the baby, although this is against the group's practices, the report said.The level of education is very low, said doctor Nguyen Thi Thu Ha of the district's healthcare centre, which has been an obstacle to authorities' efforts to discourage ritual infanticide."The baby is in a stable condition and is receiving care," he said.Around 100 000 predominantly animist Se Dang live in the country, concentrated in central provinces. They are among Vietnam's poorest ethnic groups, mostly living by slash-and-burn farming.
Shame man! Glad they saved the little guy!
The lack of education and civilised behaviour in the world is astounding to me! What the hell is wrong with the world!!!
Regretfully a common practice in tribal life, where no person in the tribe can afford to have the extra burden. Survival of the fittest kicks in, and if there is no mother to feed the child, then the child cant liver. Also practiced by the bushman and san tribes in southern Africa.
Also in India, where the Widow is burned alongside her dead husband to send them both on their way together.
...this is conclusive of tribal survival. it makes sense in that perspective.
...but the only thing that has changed in time is that humans dont have to hunt for food etc - thus it is easier to adopt the child instead.
so , ask yourself, what is wrong with me , for not understanding the whole scenario.
That shows you how important education is.
Cultures should be banned in the world...they have no place in modern societies.
You sir, are an idiot. Lacking in a coherent culture is what results in riots in london, gangs in chicago, youths being idiots in front of luthuli house.
However, education is important. I shall give you that
I'm with Christo on this one. Culture is what results in riots in London, not lack there of. And culture and religion 'together', are what leads people to bury babies alive, stab cattle to death in there back yard for ceremonial reasons, consume Rhino horn, consult traditional healers who kill and torture animals for there potions, ethnic cleansing, abuse children, discriminate against those who's culture is different, hate, war, fight, destroy, etc, etc.
'Culture', is humanities 'excuse', to justify behaving like primitive barbaric savages.
'Religion', is the tool that primitive humans use to give authority to their 'cultural excuses' for behaving like primitive barbaric savages.
Civilization does not require culture, tradition, religion or any of the other primitive social constructs that primitive humans have mindlessly adopted through out their journey through evolution.
A calm, quiet, emotionless, state of pure logic and rational maturity, is where humanity is evolving towards (some of us anyway). In this pure state of sentient power and rational awareness, there is no place for emotion, culture, religion, and other meaningless social decorations and intellectual inefficiencies.
The ultimate state of mind is minimalistic and devoid of social clutter and complexity. In this state of pure emotionless, cultureless, religionless, conscious simplicity, ...no one needs to be 'told' that its bad to bury a baby alive.
Culture adapts with time. So the modern societies that Christo and Succubus talk about is dis-bunked. Modern society has its only culture.
One can not blame culture/religion on the things that happen... ( have you read all the religious books or just one? )
Is your blame justified?
As , for the riots in the mordern world, this was caused by the "mordern culture" . In the Mordern culture, men dont marry early - hence their testosterone is much higher, as they dont have children and a family to use their excess energies - as a result, this is transferred to violence as an out let.
Is it culture to blame, or human thinking?
@ Succubus
You are an Atheist of note and also a devout Lesbian that is devoid of all feeling and emotion with all your filthy diatribes.
I can see why you chose the pseudonym of Succubus......it should really have been Tokoloshe.
Awww Barry, are you flirting with me????
It is not a question of lack of education, but a question of the Annihilation and colonization of other cultures and traditions by the western culture, i mean this practice is wrong to us(westernized individuals), but to the Se Dang it is a cultural practice that you would have to respect. if western culture trully stood for human rights, but thats not the case.
You, of course, understand that infanticide is infringing on that baby's most basic human right: TO LIFE?
Next time you have an urge to say something utterly profound, try think twice before speaking.
as horrifying as it is to us, Africa011 does have a point- we all live according to different cultural customs, and therefore our eduation is "different"
It used to be a western culture to burn people at the stake, but we have come a long way since then. Culture that has not kept up with times should be done away with, and that goes for anywhere in this world. What sort of people would do this, even if they are poor and uneducated.
Custom my foot, WTF is wrong with these ppl. Oh Lord Please hav mercy on us.
what a major save, glad they did
humanity, just purely being human, how do u bring yourself to kill a baby? bury them alive? oh my word... m getting chills..
Every culture at some stage has buried people alive or sacrificed them as part of their cultural rituals: the Egyptians, the Chinese, the Mayans etc.We might think we live in a 20thC world but if you travel you will encounter many countries were there are still tribes who practise cultural rituals abhorrent to westerners. What we practice in western countries does not make it the norm worldwide.
Vietnam was devastated by the war and many towns and villages are still unbelievably poor and backwards. To feed another mouth is sometimes beyond the capabilities of the community. It seems barbaric to us, but that child would probably have escaped a live of unrelenting poverty, hunger and possibily abuse - if had not been saved. If you have lived in a temporary cane shelter, that is washed away each year and you can't feed or clothe or school your offspring, only then have you earned the right to make judgements about these tribes cultural rituals. Education does not necessarily change cultural attitudes instantly. The same people we see as uncultured think western society is barbaric and I can't say that I don't agree with them.Under the thin veneer of "culture" in western society lurks a barbaric caveman mentality. Candice very little of the world is actually "civilised" witness young children in Africa been dismembered for muti.How civilised is that? Kids raped to cure Aids - how civilised is that? Maybe we should look to our own country's behaviour before criticizing anothers?
On one little good note: their culture is changing. They allowed the child to be adopted. Maybe there will be hope for them in the future...
What does education have to do with basic human instincts not to bury a baby alive. Silly excuse!
What is Rong with the Wolde or do i mist somting "SHAME MAN "

Ross Christopher, BRIAR RABBIT
6691 Delmar Blvd.
St. Louis, MO, 63130
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 7:30 PM
This event is 17 and over
Watch & Listen
Matthew Mayfield's musical journey started in 1992 when he fell in love with Guns N' Roses as soon as Slash got up on the piano for the finale of "November Rain." When he was 9, he decided he was either going to be a bank robber/surfer or play in a rock n roll band.
By the time he was 11, he got a bright red Gibson Les Paul, which he took all over his hometown of Birmingham, AL. By 19, he had quit school, started a new band, played every dive in the Southeast for 50 bucks and beer, and eventually signed a giant record deal with Epic Records in 2005. In 2008, he decided to go solo and take the DIY route. With several EP's and albums under his belt, a couple of songs on the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack, and several number 1 tracks on the iTunes singer/songwriter charts.
Mayfield believes that every note, every lyric, every imperfection – they're all part of a bigger story. A story he needed to tell.
Ross Christopher
Not since the emergence of John Popper and Blues Traveler in the early 1990's has an artist successfully brought a non-traditional instrument to the forefront. Following in the same trail-blazing footsteps is ROSS CHRISTOPHER, an artist that plucks the electric violin from complete obscurity and places it front and center, holding down main melodic duties in a forward-thinking alternative rock sound.
ROSS CHRISTOPHER is "intensely original," creating gritty acoustic textures and delivering them with confidence and zeal. Clearly influenced by groups such as Dave Mathews Band, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, and U2, ROSS CHRISTOPHER weaves intricate sonic textures while telling stories accumulated along life's long, winding road. Resonating with questions, intimacy, faith, love, and tales of growth and transition, the lyrics are ubiquitous and speak to the human experience. With songs arranged to pop-perfection, it's only a matter of time before ROSS CHRISTOPHER rises to the top of the charts.
Response to ROSS CHRISTOPHER has been immediate, and the most recent album entitled "Act Alive" has been received with rave reviews from both critics and fans. It has landed RC on bills with nationally touring groups such as Guster, James Taylor, Tom Petty, Gavin DeGraw, Kenny Chesney, The Wallflowers, The Black Crowes, and Carlos Santana, which has also helped him perfect the live show for which he has become notorious. Live ROSS CHRISTOPHER concerts are known for gripping electric-violin solos, seamless guitar work, tight percussive grooves, and intense melodies, all of which are performed with passion and sincerity.
If you haven't already, grab a copy of ACT ALIVE and be sure to catch a ROSS CHRISTOPHER show before tickets sell out, and for the most current information on music, gigs, merchandise, and other news, go to www.rosschristopher.com, www.myspace.com/rosschristopher, and www.sonicbids.com/rosschristopher
written by Brandon Marcowik (freelance writer for Rolling Stone Magazine)
This is the Musical Project of Phillip-Michael Scales.
Grounded in a firm belief that pop music and intellectual lyrics are not mutually exclusive, Briar Rabbit coined the phrase "Thought-Pop" to describe his sound. "A lot of times [pop music] feels like an idea that someone didn't believe you were capable of chewing and mushed it to baby food. For me, the chewing is essential."
Commanding the stage, Briar Rabbit achieves musical complexity without pretension, combines multi-layered lyrics with infectious melody, and presents self-awareness with a strong sense of honesty. It's smart, catchy, and something we didn't even know we needed.

NEW BOOK GIVEAWAY STARTS 4/6/12 ENTER TO WIN 'Illusion' BY FRANK PERETTI
Hoping to discover an exciting new talent, Dane ventures into the coffee shop and is transfixed by the magic he sees, illusions that even he, a seasoned professional, cannot explain. But more than anything, he is emotionally devastated by this teenager who has never met him, doesn't know him, is certainly not in love with him, but is in every respect identical to the young beauty he first met and married some forty years earlier.
They begin a furtive relationship as mentor and protégée, but even as Dane tries to sort out who she really is and she tries to understand why she is drawn to him, they are watched by secretive interests who not only possess the answers to Mandy's powers and misplacement in time but also the roguish ability to decide what will become of her.
Frank Peretti has crafted a rich, rewarding story of love and life, loss and restoration, full of twists and mystery. Exceptionally well written, Illusion will soon prove another Peretti classic.

Toyota has broken Holden's 17-month stranglehold on the top of the motor vehicle sales charts.
In official figures just announced by industry statistician VFACTS, Toyota Australia was back in the number one spot in June with 17,037 sales – ahead of second-placed Holden's 15,657 and third-placed Ford's 10,023.
But Holden's market share of 21.7 percent at the end of June helped it retain market leadership in year-to-date terms.
Toyota's big June results – up a whopping 18.7 percent over the same month last year – slotted it into second place with a market share of 19.1 percent, ahead of Ford's 12.9 percent.
Next up in terms of market share was Mitsubishi (7.8 percent), ahead of Nissan (6.4 percent) and Hyundai (5.2 percent).
Toyota's end of financial year sales drive helped it claim its second-strongest first-half-year performance on record. It delivered 77,554 vehicles for the six months to June 30, 2002, just 682 units short of its best-ever first half result in 1999.
"Toyota has experienced significant sales growth right across its range," said Toyota's senior executive vice-president John Conomos.
"It puts Toyota in a stronger position going into the second half of 2002 which includes the launch of new Camry."
Perhaps not surprisingly, Toyota has highlighted its star performers in June against their Holden market segment opponents. The new Corolla, for example, sold 3479 to Holden Astra's 2056.
Echo sales increased 104.4 percent over the same month last year to 1094, beating Holden's Barina by 82 vehicles.
Six-cylinder Camry sales increased 37.6 percent over June 2001 to 1126, while sales of Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon were down.
Toyota 4WDs and commercial vehicles also had a strong June.

it's an internet thing!
13:22 05 January 2013
French actor Gerard Depardieu, who has been very vocal about his disapproval over his native country's tax laws on super rich, has been granted a Russian citizenship by Vladimir Putin.
This news was announced on the Kremlin website where it was confirmed that the citizenship was granted on Thursday. Depardieu is supposedly angered by Francois Hollande's attempt to increase taxes on the mega-rich to 75per cent. Russia's tax on income is 13per cent flat.
Depardieu's representative has declined to comment as to whether the actor had accepted or declined the offer.
The actor, who has made more than 150 films, reportedly said in an open letter in mid-December that he would turn over his passport and French social security card. He later decided to move to tax-friendly Belgium, but the French government slammed this decision.
The tax on millionaires was ruled unconstitutional by the highest court, but the government has promised to resubmit the law in a slightly different form soon.
France civil code states that for someone to give up French citizenship, a person must have another nationality, because being stateless is supposedly unacceptable. Putin's decision on Thursday seemed to have fulfilled that requirement.

FIFA Vice President and Jordan Football Association President HRH Prince Ali on Tuesday announced that retired Egyptian footballer Hossam Hassan will be the coach of the national football team beginning next month.
Following a meeting of the executive committee of the Jordan Football Association, Prince Ali said that Hassan, a prolific goal scorer, will replace Adnan Hamad to lead the national team in the Asian play-offs for the intercontinental qualifiers to the 2014 World Cup, the AFC Asian Cup qualification round and the West Asian Football Championship, according to a statement by the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
The prince also commended Hamad's efforts, describing the Iraqi coach as "highly dedicated" and bringing "tremendous achievements" to Jordan's football team, Petra reported.
Hassan, a former striker for the renowned Egyptian football club Al Ahly, played more than 150 games for Egypt and scored more than 50 goals, according to web sources.
Last week, Jordan defeated Oman 1-0, keeping alive its hopes of reaching the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The win puts Jordan in third place in Group B behind Japan and Australia, which both secured automatic qualification to Brazil.
As third-place finishers in both Asian qualifying groups playing in a two-leg play-off, Jordan will meet Uzbekistan, from Group A, on September 6 and 10.
The winner will then play the fifth-placed side in South America in an intercontinental home-and-away play-off on November 15 and 19, according to the world football governing body, FIFA.

Question #88987 posted on 02/17/2017 1:22 a.m.
Dear 100 Hour Board,
Dear 100 Hour Board,
How early do I actually have to be for big rivalry games? Tent City for Gonzaga was a mess and I ended up sitting with my parents. When's a good time to go, for next year?
-Concerned Camper
Keep it real,
Dear Concerned,
Well, for example, at the Gonzaga game I showed up 30 minutes early and barely made it in with my ROC pass. It was standing room only, and it wasn't that great of a spot, but at least I got in. I'd generally say showing up any less that 30 minutes early is pretty hopeless if it's as big a game as the Zags game was. If I actually want fairly good seats, I shoot for an hour before.
Keep it real,
Sherpa Dave

Robin Thicke seemed to make any blurred lines very clear Sunday night. He debuted his new song, "Get Her Back," at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.
"I'll wait for forever for you to love me again ... I gotta get her go get her go get her back. I gotta treat her right."
Yes, that seemed to be about his estranged wife, actress Paula Patton. He also called her out in an acceptance speech.
"Most importantly, I'd like to thank my wife for her love and support and for putting up with me all these years. Thank you."
Of course, Thicke's relationship with Patton has been rocked by cheating allegations. (Via International Business Times)
Thicke said on Instagram he had a "great time" performing the song. Other lyrics included "I miss you so much baby, I just want you to come back home."
Thicke even asked the crowd to help him "get her back." The two have been together since high school and always spoke of a solid marriage until the scandal.
There were rumors before the show that Thicke would debut the song he'd written for her. (Via Us Weekly)
The two announced their separation in February, but they are not divorced. (Via People)
They've never stated an official reason for their split, but had been dating since they were teenagers. No comment as of yet from Patton.

Over the last decades Machine Learning has always been a hot topic. Though it was limited to "simple" problem classes and only available to those who could afford the vast computing resources. Now this finally seems to have changed. Since I joined the Visual Compute at ARM last year there has been an increasing demand of Machine Learning on mobile platforms. (Though I'm not yet sure if can claim the there is a significant correlation between me starting to work in this area and the increasing popularity. :P)
Recently the team I'm working in open-sourced the ARM Compute Library on GitHub. It provides optimised Computer Vision and, of course, Machine Learning functions for the ARM architecture. All functions are available as for the CPU implemented with NEON SIMD intrinsics and for the GPU as OpenCL kernels. The library contains everything necessary to build the current state-of-the-art Convolutional Neuronal Networks. There is also a blog post in the ARM Community that provides a more comprehensive overview over the features and performance of the library.
Of course it's not all about the work I'm doing at ARM. Besides the current focus on Machine Learning I'm still following the topic of automated generation and reduction of buggy OpenCL kernels. But unfortunately there haven't been much time to actively contribute the ongoing research. Some other hobby projects required some more attention after having been neglected for a while. For once there is SplitShow, a presentation tool for which I've taken ownership during my studies. It allows to distribute LaTeX beamer presentations (and lately PDFs in general) onto multiple display. For instance, it allows to show notes on the presenters laptop while projecting the presentation to the audience. Oh, and have you ever heard of Dobble and wondered how to construct arbitrary sets which follow the game's rules? Or do you remember the Game of Life and think that such a classic game should be available on a real classic platform? And of course there's always the one or the other thing that let's you expand your horizon beyond computer science. I won't spoil all the details right know but I'm hoping I will be able to add some more interesting stuff to the projects page in the future.
Got curious about something I mentioned or something you always wanted to know? Feel free to contact me such that we can have a chat.

Causes and Effects
A revolution is an overthrow or replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.
time line of events
Brain pop: Causes of the American Revolution
Who fought in the French and Indian War?
NO! The French and Indians were on the same side!
They fought together against the British.
What were they fighting over?
The French settled and claimed a large part of land west of the English colonies. They hunted for fur along with the Indians.
This was a hard fought war that lasted 7 years.
It ended with the Treaty of Paris giving a large part of land to the colonies east of the Mississippi River.
This was a very expensive war for England
To help pay for the French and Indian war Britain taxed, or charged a fee, to the colonists for all paper goods sent from England to the Colonies.
This tax was called the Stamp Act.
The colonists did not like this! They felt unfairly taxed by the King of England. The Colonists did not get a say in the taxation laws. This is called taxation without representation.
They decided to boycott, a protest in which people refuse to buy something.
Britain continued to tax imports, goods brought in from Great Britain. These goods included glass, lead, paint, paper and tea.
The colonists were angry with England's attempts to tax the colonies.
There were many riots against the British troops sent from England to enforce the taxing.
One of the most famous riots was the Boston Massacre.
A trip to yesterday: Historical Boston
March 5, 1710 a few boys in Boston noticed British soldiers standing guard. The boys threw snowballs at the guards.
The guards fired shots into the crowd that caused a riot in the streets.
Five colonists were killed in the attack. American Newspapers called the event the Boston Massacre.
After the Boston Massacre, Great Britain lifted the tax on all imports except tea.
A group of colonists dressed as Native Americans and snuck onto three boats in the Boston Harbor. They dumped 342 chests of tea into the Harbor.
Why do you think that they dressed up like Indians?
Chapter 11 Lesson 2: The colonies rebel: group activity
Pg. 70 of Language Support Handbook
Britain was not letting go of control of the colonies. They continued to pass a series of laws the the colonists called the Intolerable Acts.
Some of the colonists joined forces against Britain. These colonists were called Patriots.
Many of the colonists remained loyal to England. They were called Loyalists.
The Patriots held a meeting in 1774 to form an army in case of war. This became known as the FirstContinental Congress.
600 British soldiers were sent in secret to Lexington in order to arrest patriot soldiers.
A Patriot, Paul Revere, heard of the attack and set out on his famous midnight ride to warn the soldiers.
The Patriots called together a group of 70 soldiers known as minutemen. They were trained to be ready in a minute's notice.
The patriots were no match for the 600 soldiers and began to retreat. A single shot rang out as they scattered. No one knows who fired that first shot at Lexington that began the Revolutionary War!
Chapter 11 Lesson 3: The Revolution Begins Activity
Pg. 71-72 of Language Support Handbook.
Patriot soldiers continued to fight against the British and finally regained control over Boston.
After this victory, the colonist officially declared independence from Great Britain.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
The Second Continental Congress met and approved the document in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 4, 1776.
The first part of the document states that all men are created equal and born with certain rights. These rights include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The second part lists grievances against the British government.
The third part is a formal claim of independence.
How did Great Britain plan to pay for he French and Indian War?
Ask for a loan
Tax imports to the American colonies
Make the French pay
By doing nothing to pay back the debt
How did the Boston Massacre start?
With a fist fight
With a shoot out
With a riot
With a snowball fight
A type of bed
A tax on paper products
A protest in which people refuse to buy something
Goods brought into a country
Which of the following items was NOT included in the Declaration of Independence?
All men born with certain rights
A long list of grievances against the British government
A Constitution for the government of the colonies
A formal statement of independence from Great Britain
Where was the shot that started the Revolutionary War fired?
Which event is NOT a cause the American Revolution? fired?
Taxes on tea
Taxes on paper
Boston Massacre
The King of England died

New Haven sculptor Gar Waterman and Chinese brush painter Shen Dawei show their work side-by-side at the Silk Road Art Gallery's latest East/West exhibit, Ephemeral, Eternal: Meditations on Nature, which will remain open through Thursday, April 16.
Shen Dawei is a well respected landscape artist from the ancient political and cultural capital of Xi'an, China. His landscapes depict journeys through the artist's own interpretations of the mountains of China – along with a few studies from more familiar local scenery. Gar Waterman's work organic form with a combination of observation of natural phenomena, sensual devotion to the tactile possibilities of material, and a model maker's tinkering sensibility.
The work of the two artists shows a common reverence for the majesty and mystery of nature, a dedication to exposing its beauty, and an unwillingness to be bound by literalism in their work. Both artists eschew postmodernism in favor of what they see as the enduring beauty inherent in nature, form, and craft.
Shen Dawei's landscapes lead the viewer on a journey up mountains that exist only in his mind – amalgams of the sights and impressions he has taken away from his climbs up and down the mountains of his native China. Employing a flattened perspective, multiple focal points, and signature splashes of occasional color, Shen Dawei's idyllic mountain scenes are simultaneously traditional and contemporary, timeless and in motion.
Gar Waterman's sculpture reflects the artist's enduring fascination with seed forms – the mysterious ambiguity of encapsulating both beginning and end, a brief moment in a cycle far older than humanity itself. His works in wood and stone magnify and subtly modify the moment of germination in which the first shoot – the cotyledon – emerges upon germination, and the seed splits open to reveal the secret organic forms within.

At just sixteen, Mikayla George is set to be Australia's first Indigenous Winter Olympian, and is currently training for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
Her Facebook and Instagram pages show her progress as she trains by jumping into a local river. The winner of this year's Layne Beachley Aim for the Stars Scholarship says that "Sport has always been a part of my life and my daily routine. It's fun to be fit and healthy."
She says that as well as exercise, joining in with the Aboriginal community is a vital part of a well-balanced life. "It's important to stay connected to the joy of community, country and family, to know who you are. I learnt a lot of about myself at the coming of age ceremony I went to."
There is an increasing number of sporting opportunities for Aboriginal young people. The Australian Indigenous Alpine Sports Foundation sponsors athletes from remote communities to train in snow sports, and gives a chance for many kids to see snow for the first time.
Mikayla's tips for sport and fitness
Get into a team: Join a community sports team with a friend and play once a week. "It's important to do it with a friend because then you're enjoying yourself."
Ask a pro: If you can, get advice from a professional coach. If you're doing your sport or activity correctly then you'll enjoy it more and stay motivated.
Stuff-ups are a blessing: "Continue to try your hardest, and don't get angry. I've always learnt the most about sport from my mistakes."
Make a routine and stick to it: Have one daily exercise like walking, and then one or more weekly activities like sports games. If you do the activities at the same time on the same days you'll have to think about it less and it will become automatic.
Get your family on board: If your family knows about your new sport or fitness goals they can help to support you, or even join in. It also helps if somebody can drive you to and from training if you can't drive yet.
Persist until you see results: When you start to see changes happening to your body and to your abilities then you'll want to keep going. It's important to remember that results will come and to be patient until they appear.
Begin with a goal: Start with something very small and as soon as you've achieved it set a new one. Repeat, each time challenging yourself a little further.
Live a healthy lifestyle: Have a stable diet and eat healthy every day except for a treat day when you can splash out. On an average day Mikayla has eggs for breakfast and a sandwich or salad for lunch. She says that if you're serious about health and fitness then you shouldn't drink or smoke. Mikayla is an ambassador for Kick the Butt, an anti-smoking campaign.

I've seen Iron Chef a million times. I know that the chefs on there have tasted a lot of different ingredients and thus know what will go together well.
I'm wondering if there's a resource of some sort out there that tells what ingredients complement each other. An example is a sandwich that is made with roast beef, boursin cheese and caramelized onions. Never in a million years would I have put those ingredients together.
So, I ask you: How did you become creative in your cooking? Is there a book or website that could give me ideas on new food combos?

Kundalini Shakti………
Lot of information is available on the subject of kundalini.( कुण्डलिनि) .
I have heard people saying that their Kundali is awakened. My dear friends, Kundali( कुण्डली) is a horoscope, map of stars at the time of birth. "Kundalini "is the sleeping power, within us. Many get confused with these two terms. This confusion relates to ones ignorance and lack of clarity.
This confusion apart, awakening of Kundalini itself is mystical experience.
If you go through History of Indian spiritual science, you can divide it to three periods. Once is Upanishads period, another is of the period when Patanjali yoga Sutra's was leading and there after period of Tantra.
No major Upanishad's have mention or discussed the Kundalini. Sega Patnjali did not talk about Kundalini yoga.
Only Tantra Shasta talks about it and this very path of Kundalini Shastra was kept secret.
Sant Dnyaneshwar's commentary on Bhagwat Gita title Bhavarthdipika chapter 6th he has dealt with in detail abou the experince of Kundalini activation,Awaking and Arousal. This has no mention in Bhagwat Gita, Sant Dnyaneshwar has shared secrete of Nath Samprady and called it Maha Yoga.
Kundalini resides not in the physical body .It is futile to locate the path of kundalini through anatomy of physical body. Many people try to relate chakras to flexes in the body.
The flexes and endocrine gland are in the physical body where as chakras are in subtle body, more precisely in panic body. I want you to understand the concept thoroughly.
Awakening Arousal and Activation of kundalini, one needs to understand the finer points clearly.
Activation of Kundalini may through the following…
1 Divine grace………
2 Tivra viragya means total dispassion
3 Pranayami
4 Guru Pasadena means Shaktipat Visheshena.
Divine Grace may be attributed to past karma or Sanskara. Say, one is destine to undergo these mystical experiences.
You are really detach from worldly things, world of name and form, mundane Life and moved towards Tivra viragya .Then and only then it shall happen on its own. This is difficult to comprehend.
Due process of Pranayam also helps activation of Kundalini, which residing in the subtle body. This path is little risky and time consuming. Manipulating prana the vital energy may cause wrong to the nervous system which is also working in subtle path.
Last is Shaktipat Visheshena. By coming in to contact with Guru or Master this can happen. Has happened in the past and shall happen in future also. This depends upon quality of both Guru and the disciple. Guru may be capable but if the disciple is not ready, Shaktipat may not take place.
Let me explain this with the incidence happened with Narendra. Swami Ramakrishna had many disciples. Case of Nerndra was unique by mere touch of the Guru, Narendra had all this experiences. On the battle field of Kurukshetra at the end of the dialogue Krishna hugs Arjuna to take him to ultimate; this is also the case of Shaktipat .
Shaktipat may be with physical touch of Guru or through eye contact or mere his presence or through thought transmission.
Why I dealt the above with detail is for a purpose. There are many people who have opened their spiritual shops and they proclaim they can activate Kundalini.
Dear aspirant of spiritual science, please do not get carried away by such fly by night spiritual masters and there Empire.
Let, divine grace bestow upon us.
Next blog I shall deal with experiences one may encounter in meditation akin to Kundalini awakening. And other important aspect associate with it.

As Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Sister Nausheen, it is really good to see you active again. You have being away for a very long time. Your posts always inspired me during my early days in IC and I really missed them when you disappeared. Due to my travels and other commitments, I am not so active myself on forums these days. Truly it is good to have you back ((((((HUGS)))))
Ive been away for the past few weeks and only got back online today. There seem to by a few changes on the boards, new sections etc it will take a while to get use to.
See you around
Wa Alaikum Salam

My most recent private messages have disappeared too...
I am guessing along with whatever happened to make the last 10 days of posts disappear?
Thing is I lost all pm's after May 20.

What Everyone *Really* Thinks About MyMathLab (With #Protips)
High schools and universities around the world have adopted MyMathLab as a way for students to do and turn in math homework online. It is a solution to a problem that didn't really exist, and lots of students see it in the same way that they might see a program designed to grade essays—it just doesn't work. Grading requires a human touch—and MyMathLab comes off as a pseudo artificial intelligence that wants you to fail your calculus class. Sure, a lot of math problems have one answer, but Pearson (you know, the people that write all those expensive text books you have to buy and also write all those standardized tests you have to take?), also thinks they can figure out how to grade students on whether or not their "work" is done correctly. That's all well and good—if it actually worked 100% of the time. Even a quick Google search of "MyMathLab" will generate an entire sub-Reddit devoted to cringe-inducing MyMathLab stories. Anyone who's ever used it will tell you that it has…bugs. Sure, we'll call them bugs. Features that just don't work. Or some features that work too well—like marking a problem wrong and then when the answer is shown, it is identical to what you've entered. The harsh reality is, however, that schools are going to keep on using this program, especially as more and more classes trend towards online homework submission. That means that students around the world just have to…deal with it. In order to make "dealing with it" a little less of a horror, we've got a list of tips and tricks that should help.
- Marking something incorrect when it is correct. What's the difference between four over one and four? Realistically? Nothing. But if the program wants you to put in four over one and you put in four, that's a wrong answer. You'll see situations like this rampant in the forums devoted specifically to hating on MyMathLab. And for good reason. No human grader would ever look at that answer and mark it wrong, especially because four over one is a nonsensical answer, and four is an answer that a rational human would put. When it comes to situations like this, you're just going to have to appeal to your instructor for the points.
- No keyboard shortcuts. If you need to input a fraction, you used to have to use their fraction-specific formatting buttons in order to make sure that the fraction was entered correctly. Now, there are plenty of keyboard shortcuts, actually intuitive ones that can make it a lot fast to enter into a computer what really should just be written by hand and turned into your teacher like the good old days. For example, you can just use the / key to create a simple fraction. You can hit enter to enter your answer and advance to the next question. You can enter exponents by using the circumflex key (^).
- Use the built in helps. Because the developers have no doubt discovered that there's nothing worse than trying to solve complex calculations on a computer that is limited to the track pad or mouse and keyboard, there are some helps actually built into the software. For example, you could view an example, which lets you look at other problems in the same vein—seriously helpful if you're stuck as to how to proceed. The help me solve this feature is, according to Pearson (so who knows how accurate this is), like a tutor walking you through the problem.
- Do it on paper first. Anyone who has ever taken a math class (and that's any person over the age of six), knows that math is best done, by hand, on a physical sheet of paper. Until the day that computers are advanced enough that we can use our tablets exactly like a pencil on a sheet of paper and the computer can process what is being written (even by shaky-handed seven-year-olds), it's probably best to solve the problem on paper first, and then input the steps onto the computer. If you're one of those people that has a hard time staring at a computer screen, this is your best plan of action.
- Don't be afraid to ask your instructor or report problems. The course instructor, whether your teacher or a professor can change your score. If MyMathLab marks you wrong on something—and, come on, this is going to happen—don't be afraid to make a note of it and email your instructor or meet with him in person to discuss it. If you did the work and got the answer right, you deserve those points and the instructor can give them back to you.
That's the long and short of it. We all know how horrible MyMathLab (and all its variants really are) and it's not going to get easier anytime soon as more and more schools adapt MML as their learning management solution but if these tips aren't enough, you can always go ahead and hire a math wiz kid to help you with your MyMathLab… Now there's an idea, right?

One thinks of narrative occurring in fiction and film, in dance and theater, even sometimes in visual art. Only rarely does one consider the narrative power of a museum exhibition, but SFMOMA's "Jay DeFeo: A Retrospective" is among the finest examples of walk-through storytelling. The exhibit is organized biographically, with her largest, most impressive pieces all facing one another in a single room, representing the dance of big ideas in her mind.
See Also: Triple Threat: SFMOMA Opens Jasper Johns, Jay DeFeo, and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
Her forced relocation from her S.F. apartment influenced how she made later pieces, as did her chronic dental problems -- a fascination with transience and decay inhabits every piece, even including the small, quiet ones she was able to work on through the cancer that ended her life. Her life story is set by your pace, or hers. SF Cinematheque builds on this essential piece of American history with its program The Eyes: San Francisco Beat Film 1958-67, a series of short films by and about DeFeo's Beat contemporaries: Christopher Maclaine, Lawrence Jordan, the rare 1961 film The Brink based on ruth weiss's poetry, and The White Rose, Bruce Conner's film about DeFeo and her best-known work, a piece you can approach and add to your own narrative.
The Eyes: San Francisco Beat Film 1958-67 starts Thursday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in SFMOMA's Phyllis Wattis Theater, 151 Third St., S.F. Admission is $7-$10.
"Jay DeFeo: A Retrospective" runs until Feb. 3.

WD Mybook Essential Basic Troubleshooting Question
|My System Specs
|21 Nov 2012
Re: 1) "Safely Remove Hardware" assures you that nothing is being written to the drive and it is safe to remove the drive without losing or corrupting data. It does not power off the drive however.
The drive is powered through the USB cable. If you unplug the USB cable after getting the "Safe To Remove" message then the drive will power down.
RE: 2) I never install the software on these external drives. There is no need of it as far as I can tell. Windows can do everything you need. Keep in mind that "I never install this software", so if there is anything of benefit in there, I would not know.
If there is a Disk Imaging program, or a Hard Drive Diagnostics program on the drive I might safe those program installer files in a folder somewhere so I could install them later if necessary.
RE:3) Yes. Provided the "Safe To Remove" message has been displayed.
RE: 4) This I do not know. My external drives do not have power buttons.
This behavior could be by design (to prevent accidental disconnection, or something else.) Does it delay if the "Safe to Remove" has been displayed?
Not sure about dotnetframework35. I sounds similar to Microsoft program installer package " .NET Framework 3.5 " , which should be on your computer already through Windows Update.
I think you could safely delete that folder without any consequence.

so um.. id like to review if you dont mind,
so... the correct way to remove external HDD is safely remove hardware => and only then do i power off the external hdd via the power button => unplug the cable
i have a follow-up question then... when the external HDD is still plugged to the PC, is it safe or unsafe to just turn off the power button directly without "safely remove hardware" first?
|My System Specs
|21 Nov 2012
Yes that is the "correct" way to remove an external hard drive.
As for your second question the answer is yes, it is "safe" to do so. That is because doing so will not damage the hard drive or the PC. But there can sometimes be some minor, annoying problems that could occur when you don't do it the "correct" way:

Scott relieved after victory
Matt Scott admitted he was relieved to see Scotland finally kick-start their 2015 campaign with a win - but insisted he was never worried the Dark Blues' eight-month losing streak would derail their World Cup bid.
The Scots finally put a win on the board following six straight defeats as they edged out Italy in Turin.
It was a drab affair played in stifling heat but Glasgow scrum-half Henry Pyrgos popped up at the right moment five minutes from time and finish off the only try of the match from a Scott pass.
The 16-12 Olympic Stadium triumph will now re-energise Vern Cotter's World Cup preparations as he gears his side up for their September 23 opener with Japan in Gloucester.
They face a return clash with the Azzurri at Murrayfield next Saturday, after which the head coach will trim his 47-man training squad back to 31. They will have one final run out against France in Paris on September 5 before turning their attention to their Pool B foes, who also include the United States, South Africa and Samoa.
The task for Scott and his colleagues now is to build some momentum ahead of the tournament but the Edinburgh centre said he would not have been left in a state of panic had his side not got the monkey off their back with victory over Jacques Brunel's men.
He said: "We're all definitely relieved to get back to winning ways. It was quite a scrappy game and we struggled a bit up front given that our discipline wasn't really that good. It's something we need to work on.
"But first and foremost it was good to get a win.
"We needed to get one on the board. That was our first one of the year and it wouldn't have been good going into the World Cup having played some good rugby but not won a game all year.
"So that is the main thing we will take from this game. It's just good to get that winning feeling back.
"The losing streak wasn't really playing on our minds though. We knew the Italy game was a real big opportunity for us, as was Ireland last week but we failed to get over the line.
"But I wouldn't say we were putting too much pressure on ourselves over it. We knew if we played to our game plan and executed it, the win would come."
The Turin Test gave Scott the chance to run out the rustiness from his legs after a shoulder injury ended his domestic season six weeks early.
The 24-year-old admitted he was almost running on empty as the game drew to a conclusion but had just enough left to slot Pyrgos in to seal the morale-boosting win.
"It was good to be get back into a starting line-up," he said. "The last game of rugby I started before Saturday was the final game of the Six Nations, so I was fairly tired tonight.
"It was tough conditions with the humidity and heat. I really felt it.
"But I'm hoping that having blown the cobwebs away tonight I will be fitter next week.
"I was out on my feet towards the end when I found myself wide. The first thing I looked for was someone to pass to but thankfully Henry is really good at making those support runs and I was able to pop it off to him for the try."

Spring is my favorite time of year. This year I went to Gertens and Bachman's in Minnesota to get the latest 2017 perennials. I came home with a truck full of Native plants, perennials and ground covers for the gardens. It was so much fun! The vegetable garden is planted and I have finished the chicken coop area for our chickens. They are now 8 weeks old and should be laying free range eggs by the end of July.
I hope you will be able to come by and stay at the lodge this season. With all the rain, the gardens will be spectacular!

The process of going on this trip was one month in planning. The consequences workshop is project that uses different techniques to get young people involved in positive activities. We use critical thinking methods to get young people thinking. Within our workshop we discuss the effects of youth violence and gang culture. The plan now was to see if we can research on world most known areas for gangs and to find as much information as possible to help us in our workshops. The young people did research and came to the conclusion that Los Angeles was the gang capital of the world and some of their deep rooted problem are taking effect in London today. We all came back together and analysed what we had all found individually, we all had a chance to present to the group, about the main issues they were facing in LA and most importantly getting information on the gang intervention programs . The results of the research were in and everybody had an interest in the LA programs, this is when the inception for going to LA to do a documentary in comparing the differences and to find out what we can learn from them. It was now time to put a bid in for funding to see if we would get the opportunity to make this happen, which would create a new opportunity to work with young people abroad.
We all saw an opportunity to go on a trip and make a good documentary. When the approval for the trip came, the next stage was to pick who would go on the trip. This was a fair and easy process because we decided that 1 young person from each Crib project across Hackney will get an opportunity to go. The one person was decided by who had participated the most in all the workshops even before the idea for the trip was ever mentioned, This seemed like a fair way to do it and the young people were happy with it. This also allowed us to bring together young people that have never worked together before, either due to gang violence in their areas, but this was an opportunity for them to mix and create something worthwhile
When the final four young people were confirmed, we now had to start planning for the trip. I would call a meeting with them once a week to discuss plan. We divided up the task, some were in charge of calling youth organisation to see if they could accommodate us, while other looked into the visa process of travelling to the States. We had a budget of £5000 which we had to spend wisely, this was for travel, food, and accommodation. We all worked on a budget together, everyone was assigned something to do i.e. checking flight prices, accommodation prices , car rental prices, equipment for filming. The budget was drawn up and was always monitored at every step to make sure we were still within our budget.
We had to do several risk assessment to make sure that the trip would be as safe as possible. One of the things which we had on the risk assessment was that we could not interview anyone that was not part of an organisation we have contact with. We would always have a youth worker with us when in dangerous areas. We all sat down to brainstorm what risk we could have, when we found these out, we now had to minimise the risk or figure out how to eliminate that risk. This process was long but effective and had to be done.
When the trip was over, they young people had to keep a diary of their trip and their experiences. All of them learnt something from the trip, they learnt to appreciate things a bit more. They saw many people's struggles and comparing that to what happens in London made them realise their potential. This trip made them want to spread the message of positivity even more, to help shape and guide their peer from any forms of negativity that could disrupt their lives. The confidence they gained from asking questions, interviewing people, interacting with people that they never would have met before, this has now transpired to their lives here as they are all using these new skills to make a positive impact here in London. The journey of the trip and the life experience is not something that they will forget and they are really grateful to have the opportunity to go and make something positive that they can be proud of.

An estimated 1.2 million children between the ages of 11 and 16, boys and girls alike, are trafficked each year. And although many often think sex trafficking happens only in places other than the US, it is happening right here at home.
Eliminating Homelessness
Over 3 million people experience homeless each year. The working poor, single moms, the mentally ill and teens live in poverty and are part of the vast numbers of homeless in the world. Homelessness can be a catalyst for, and a result of, the growth of sex trafficking.
Investing in
62 million girls are not in school. We support initiatives led by women that focus on investing in education for women and girls that lead to brighter futures, economic empowerment, independence and growth.

We first discovered James Nord through his own blog Highlighted Life, where he captures work and life in pictures. It intrigued us and soon we realised that besides imagery, we shared a passion as well. Cycling! James has been a Rapha racer for years and we have followed his adventures through the blog, which over time became a great success. James is now a full time fashion photographer and also the co-founder of Fohr Card, a community that enables brands and bloggers to connect. We figured it's about time we met.
Where are you right now and what is happening today?
- Right now it's a Saturday afternoon and the city is drenched in rain, I would normally be on my bike on a Saturday, but alas I am at the kitchen table, catching up on Chris Harris car videos on YouTube.
Where are you from originally? Did you grow up in a creative environment?
- I was born in Queens, but was raised most of my life in Georgia, I grew up with 2 brothers, which meant survival was an act of creativity.
You're involved in a lot of things – what would you call yourself?
- I'm an all arounder. I've called myself a lot of things but right now it's mainly the CEO of Fohr Card.
Your career as a photographer took off after being discovered through your blog, why don't you tell about that!
- My career as a photographer was only really possible because of my blog. I never set out to become a photographer, but as the blog gained traction I figured I best get better at photography. From there I was able to leverage my following on Tumblr into work with some of the best brands in the world.
Were you inspired to start up Fohr Card by the fact that you are a blogger yourself?
- I was inspired to start Fohr Card out of my experience trying to get work in fashion using my blog and the help that I got from my future co-founder Rich Tong. He set up my first job in fashion (shooting for Oscar de la Renta) from there my career took off and a year after that, we asked each other, why not try and do what he did for me, for thousands of people.
Let's talk about New York, the place where you currently live and work. What do you love about it and what makes it special?
- I live in the Lower East Side and work in Williamsburg, but let's focus on the LES. I love this neighborhood because, to me, it's one of the last great New York City hoods around. It's got all of the grime and dirt and it's not ashamed of it. You lose that in the West Village or even Williamsburg. I know the Lower East Side will change soon, hell, they are putting a SoHo House here, but I'll be here till it dies.
If you had to sum yourself up, as a photographer?
- I was always an amatuer playing a bit above my head, but I got really lucky, and as I look back over my career as a photographer I'll be forever grateful for the chances I got.
How do you prefer to work – photograph people and spaces naturally as they are and carry on or are you more into staging them?
- I always prefer to be more a spectator and just try and grab interesting moments as they reveal themselves.
How do you create a connection with the people you photograph?
- Same as you do with anyone, but it helps a lot if you can get them laughing, you know what else helps? Whiskey.
What is your most memorable photo shoot?
- I will never forget the first time I shot an Oscar de la Renta show, I had next to no idea what I was doing, but here I was among the most beautiful women and beautiful clothes in the world.
Next to photography, there are other passions in your life, like fashion and cycling for instance. Tell us more about that!
- I grew up in a house that emphasized passions and have been spending my life collecting them. I race bikes for Rapha here in the city, which does a lot to keep me sane. It also does a lot to keep me in the suits I enjoy wearing everyday.
How would you characterize your expression – both in terms of personal style and photography? Do they align in any way?
- I think every year I get older my style moves into a more traditional place, but the fun part of personal style is making it your own. It's something I love so much about your watches, they are classic, but also unique.
What do you think about the creative scene in New York right now – anything or anyone in particular that makes you tick?
- I try and surround myself with people who make me better, that's true of my co-founder and staff at Fohr Card and extends to my friends and family.
What is your work process? How do you imagine a new project weather it's about photography, entrepreneurship or anything creative?
- I wouldn't say I have a strong process, I do a lot of pacing, I think better when I am on the move.
What continues to hold your interest with photography the most?
- For me it's about trying to capture the best moments of my life.

Someone posted a stat that through 2 or 3 games he is tied for 1st in the league for pass blocking efficiency and I believe so far he is only responsibly for .5 or 1.5 sacks of our 10+ sacks lol.
Anthony Davis is playing at a Pro Bowl level. Him and Boone on the right are the bulwarks of the line. Staley and Goodwin, the players making the most money on the line, are our weak spots.
I agree very much with this assessment on the o-line.
Iupati is sometimes very hot-and-cold. Still, I think he plays very well more often than badly.

1 Corinthians Chapter 6: Taking Christians to Court, JudgmentNov 10th, 2009 | By admin | Category: 1 & 2 Corinthians, Verse by Verse --Studies led by Br. Frank Shallieu (Click on Book name)
Paul's questions suggest that the Corinthians were still babes in Christ in spiritual matters. They were inclined to go to worldly courts because they did not trust the judgment of the ecclesia. Suppose, for example, the class was divided into three groups, and each group voted differently. Each of the two parties in the grievance, feeling he was right, feared that the judgment would not come out to his favor. This strife was creating such a problem that the parties wanted to go to an unbiased outside element, and that thinking was logical from a worldly standpoint.
Since the Little Flock will judge angels, then "how much more [Christians should be able to judge] things that pertain to this [present] life." If we hope to be judges of the fallen angels and mankind in the future, we cannot go through the present life without thinking about, analyzing, and preparing for this role. We should be keenly observing things in view of the future office. After all, would the Lord put somebody on the throne to judge in matters great and small who does not weigh issues in the present life? To do so would not make much sense.
