|Query Subject:
Index of synthesis data
|Hugo Cesar de Castro Carneiro

|Linguistic LingField(s):
My M.Sc. thesis is called ''The function of the index of synthesis of the
languages in part-of-speech tagging with weightless artificial neural
In this thesis my motivation is based on ''like vs. gostam (Portuguese for
''they like'')'' paradigm. In which ''like'' has an ambiguous part of
speech, as it can be a preposition, a conjunction, a verb or even other
part of speech, needing to have a word like ''they'' adjacent to it in
order to help readers to know that it is a ''verb'' (in this context). On
the other hand, ''gostam'' in Portuguese is always a verb, as the ''-am''
suffix informs the reader that ''gostam'' is really a verb.
So, I am testing a system I've developed in 5 languages: Mandarin Chinese,
English, Portuguese, German and Turkish (from the most isolating language
to the most synthetic). And when I get the information I need from these 5
languages, I will test the system in 4 others: Thai (more synthetic than
Mandarin Chinese and more isolating than English), Japanese (more synthetic
than English and more isolating than Portuguese), Italian (more synthetic
than Portuguese and more isolating than German) and Russian (more synthetic
than German and more isolating than Turkish).
But I have one problem: The indices of synthesis of these languages are
only estimated by me, and maybe even their order is somewhat wrong (is
Portuguese or German the most synthetic?).
I would like to know if someone can help me find an index of synthesis of
these languages? Or where can I get a text in each of these languages with
all words with each of their morphemes separated?
I am concluding my master studies this year, but I need to send a paper to
a journal before I get my M.Sc. in Computer Science degree.

USS STENNIS Award Winners Visit D.C.
The leadership award winners from the USS JOHN C. STENNIS aircraft carrier and their families visited Washington, DC on November 17-20, 2013 as part of the Stennis Center's Aircraft Carrier Leadership Awards Program.
Citizens Engage in Work of Democracy
The Stennis Center is working with the Association of Centers for the Study of Congress (ACSC) on developing an issue brief for public deliberation. The group met at the Kettering Foundation in Dayton, Ohio on November 19-20, 2013 to discuss how citizens can get along with others who have differing views in order to do the work of democracy.
Civil-Military Dinner with the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jonathan Greenert
On September 30, 2013, U.S. Senators Jack Reed and Saxby Chambliss led a dinner discussion on a variety of national security issues with Admiral Jonathan Greenert, Chief of Naval Operations. Senators Reed and Chambliss have led a series of discussions bringing together military leaders and first-term Senators, as part of the Stennis Center's Civil-Military Leadership Program.
Stennis Fellows Conduct Dialogue Retreat
The 113th Congress Stennis Fellows met at the National Conservation Training Center near Shepherdstown, West Virginia September 20-21, 2013 to explore more effective usage of dialogue as a leadership tool on Capitol Hill. The bipartisan and bicameral group of Congressional staff leaders is exploring the theme of "Meeting the Challenge: Bridging Boundaries for the Common Good" as they work together in a series of roundtable sessions and retreats.
Former Congressmen Barry Goldwater, Jr. (R-CA) and John Hall (D-NY) visited Denison University in Ohio on September 15-17, 2013 as part of the Congress to Campus program. This joint program with the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress helps college students understand the importance of Congress in American life and the value of public service.
Former Members of Congress Earl Hutto (D-FL) and Sue Kelly (R-NY) visited Jacksonville State University in Alabama on September 15-17, 2013 as part of the Congress to Campus program, a joint effort with the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress. The program sends bipartisan pairs of former Members of Congress – one Democrat and one Republican – to visit college campuses around the country.
The Stennis Novice Speech and Debate Tournament, established in 1995, was held in September on the campus of Mississippi State University. Over 250 students from throughout the state competed in this tournament, which is tailored to students competing for the first time. The 2013 tournament included tributes to the late Billy Tate, former president of the National Forensic League, who helped start speech and debate in Mississippi and who was a founder of the Stennis tournament.
Since 2003, the Stennis Center has been connecting Truman Scholars to Congress through "Truman Scholars Day on Capitol Hill." This program continues a partnership with the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation that dates back to 1991. It brings together Truman Scholars who are recent college graduates for an inside view of how Congress works, highlighted by personal visits with senior level congressional staff members who are part of the Stennis Center's Stennis Fellows program. The most recent "Truman Scholars Day on Capitol Hill" program took place on July 19, 2013.
Senator Randy Head Receives Harold Keller Award
Indiana State Senator Randy Head received the Harold Keller Public Service Leadership Award from Rex Buffington on June 20, 2013 at the National Student Congress in Birmingham, Alabama. The award was established by the Stennis Center to honor the long-time leader of the Stennis Student Congress, Harold C. Keller, a speech and debate coach from Davenport, Iowa. The award goes to a current public servant who was active in Student Congress while in high school. At the 1987 National Congress, Head was elected outstanding representative in House 4, subsequently advancing to the Championship Session.
Remembering Lindy Boggs (1916-2013)
The Stennis Center pays tribute to Lindy Boggs. Mrs. Boggs, a former ambassador to the Holy See and the first woman elected to Congress from Louisiana, was a trailblazer for women in politics. She retired from Congress in 1990, and was an original member of the Stennis Center's Board of Trustees. Mrs. Boggs encouraged the Stennis Center, who mission is to promote public service, to initiate a program to increase women's political leadership in the South. Thus was born the Southern Women in Public Service conference in 1991 and subsequent efforts of the Stennis Center to promote women's leadership, including 2013's NEW Leadership Mississippi program with the Center for American Women and Politics. In 1995, the Stennis Center created the Lindy Boggs Award to honor outstanding women leaders in the South. For more on the life and legacy of Mrs. Boggs, visit the sites below.

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, Trailers/Clips, HorrorBy Monika Bartyzel
These days, vampires are almost as prevalent as the mirrors they never cast a reflection in. True Blood, Twilight, Lestat, Underworld, The Vampire Diaries, Cirque du Freak, Priest, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter... They're everywhere. However, while we might be inclined to knock any new film that tries to jump onto the pile, we can't really fault any horror indies. Vamps have always thrived in that realm; it's their home turf.
So you might remember that last year, I wrote about a little Canadian horror comedy called Suck and its interesting cast list -- Jessica Pare, Malcolm McDowell, Dave Foley, Iggy Pop, Moby, Alice Cooper, Carol Pope, and Henry Rollins. The film has since wrapped, is heading to TIFF next month (hat tip to MTV), and you can check out a trailer for the bloodletting after the jump. The brainchild of Rob Stefaniuk (of Phil the Alien fame), Suck focuses on a struggling band who finally finds success when the leader's (Stefaniuk) ex gf and bandmate Jennifer (Pare) becomes a vampire rife with "sexually charged charisma that drives the audiences wild."
McDowell co-stars as Eddie Van Helsing -- a one-eyed vamp hunter who's afraid of the dark, while Foley plays their manager, Pop plays a music producer, Cooper plays a bartender, and Rollins plays "Rock'n Roger" -- a radio dude with terrible hair. That alone has me sold. Heck, McDowell with a flashlight to "keep the dark away" is gold just on its own. But just to sweeten the pot some more, the film's full of songs like David Bowie's "Here Come's the Night" and The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." Ready to Suck?


text: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger worked during the Week Five bye week to get back into rhythm with the offense after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal-conduct policy. "It's a good thing to have two weeks of practice to get out there," said Roethlisberger, noting that his throwing arm felt good. "… I think the biggest thing is just refreshing my mind with the offense and getting timing down with these guys. Roethlisberger, who worked out on his own when away from the team, is said to be in good shape, and the hope now is all of the work he had with the first-team offense in the summer prior to his absence will also help to combat any rustiness. Certainly, Roethlisberger, who has a rare ability to keep plays alive, enhances the Steelers' offense, but it's an attack that lacks a real field-stretching threat other than Mike Wallace, which is something to monitor upon the return of the daring passer, noted a team observer.

...I will have a 60D and 6D tomorrow for some rough analysis.
Let me know what you think of the way 6D renders colors and lighting dynamics. Now that I've moved on from testing to actual pictures, I am not liking what I am seeing in this respect. I'm shooting RAW and the the 6D files have a very different character than do 5D2 files imo, and not in a good way.
Can you please expound on this? We want to know what's the difference... And try using the updated DPP if possible when converting the 6D and 5D2 files. The jpeg rendering of other software might not be as updated.
I'll try to explain using subjective terms and maybe a technical measurement or two.
To my eyes, everything is underexposed a significant amount and this is verified when looking at the RGB histogram in Capture One. Left side is towards the top and then a smooth slope to zero on the right for typical outdoor shots. Equivalent shots with 5D2 are exposed the way I'd expect and hisotgram is more level with some peaks, as expected.
Color renditions are flat and lifeless to my eyes. This is true just comparing equivalent shots from 5D2 and 6D and looking at the RAWs. Same holds true after working with them in Capture One. Let me put it this way: in adequate light, I'd take my 50D over the 6D in a heartbeat for exposure, color rendition and DR (as lacking as 50D was in DR)...the equvalent shots just look a lot better to my eyes.
I know there is a bunch of chatter about how 6D has better DR, but when shooting it seems the exact opposite and shadows are going black with no detail in the RAWs.
It's hard to quantify this sort of thing, but when I first got my 5D2 I was pleasantly stunned how good any shot looked. It's just the opposite with 6D for me and I'm stunned how un-Canon like all of my shots were. Yes, were. As in its boxed up to go back in exchange for a 5D3.
And I suppose that sums it up for me. As you can see in my earlier posts, I was happy as could be with the AF and low light when I tested it. But then when I started shooting it, it became quickly apparent I'd be sending it back and just spending the extra $ for a 5D3. And for me anyway, I'll spend $400 extra over the eBay price to buy it from B&H so I have no doubt it will have a warranty and I can send it back if I have an issue like I did with the 6D I bought from them...
Of course this is all just my opinion and YMMV. Maybe I got a dud, but bottom line is I'm going 5D3 instead.
Have you tried using DPP? I don't think Capture One is updated already to handle raw files from 6D. Just like Lightroom needs an update or a new profile just to handle other new bodies. WTH, even DPP needs an update to correctly render raw files from new bodies. Agreed, maybe you got a bum copy because, I have never seen anyone complain about the DR/IQ of 6D except for underexposing which could be easily adjusted by Canon Support if needed.
Anyway, good choice. I'd always say, if you think you've got the money to afford a 5D3, then go for it. Granted it's more expensive but it's more versatile. However, for some, I think it will be 6D. I've got a friend who just got a 6D yesterday. Hopefully, he brings it to office tomorrow so I can see it and maybe compare it with some cameras from our group.

Tax Day paperwork? Shudder. Valentine's Day PDA? Vomit. National Chocolate Day celebrations? Now we're talking. Every year on July 7, Americans have an excuse to break out the fondue, the cocoa, and the tiramisu. And while a mouth full of fudge can't help but make us smile, the health benefits of chocolate are a little trickier. Along with caffeine and red wine, this sweet treat has sparked a raging debate. While the delicious dessert may be packed with antioxidants, the high sugar content of most processed bars offsets many of those benefits [1]. But worry not: There's a way to have (chocolate) cake and eat it too.
Chocolate Cheat Sheet — Why It Matters
Cacao, the base of chocolate, can be a healthy addition to most diets. In its natural form, cacao can lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and reduce the risk for diabetes and coronary heart disease [2] [3] [4]. And don't forget the brain: A bit of dark chocolate can give our thinking skills a boost. Keep a (small) stash in that desk drawer, too, since dark chocolate helps regulate levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
A lot of these health benefits have to do with chocolate's stock of flavonoids. These plant-based compounds protect the body by fighting the effects of free radicals, a nasty set of atoms or molecules in our bodies that contribute to annoying problems like premature aging and a number of diseases including some types of cancer, asthma, and diabetes [5] [6]. But don't get chocolate wasted just yet: Some less-than-desirable health effects may be lurking at the bottom of that bag of M&Ms.
The Bitter(sweet) Truth — The Answer/Debate
Extensive processing, as well as added sugar and milk, often strip cacao of its nutritional one-two punch, causing a potential superfood rockstar to drop to a fallen idol status. Luckily, healthy options exist, giving chocolate a chance to redeem itself. When there's a choice of white, milk, or dark chocolate, go dark. Whole milk makes up the majority of milk chocolate and may interfere with the body's absorption of antioxidants [7]. To stave off added fat and excess sugar, look for dark chocolate with a cacao content above 70 percent — in fact, the higher the cacao content, the better. But be warned: Dark chocolate tends to taste bitterer than its milky counterpart, so if choosing super-dark varieties, opt for bars with some healthy add-ins like almonds or dried cherries for a flavor (and nutrition) boost.
Another chocolate worth going cuckoo for is raw chocolate, a dairy-free, unprocessed option. Raw chocolate bars are often sweetened with agave or palm sugar, which have a lower glycemic index than cane sugar. Raw chocolate packs a distinct, deep flavor paired with a ruthless stab at the wallet, but luckily, a little goes a long way. Look for raw chocolate at local health food stores in bar or powder form. Heat the powder with water or almond milk, and sweeten with stevia for some homemade hot chocolate.
To get the benefits of cacao without the bulk, reach for cacao nibs, dry-roasted cacao beans with a nutty flavor. Try sprinkling the nibs on top of a dessert or add them to a smoothie for a little extra kick. At the end of the day, even the most nutritious kinds of chocolate are healthful only in moderation.

How to create a toggle image on Windows Phone
This article explains how to use visual states to animate an image on the page.
Windows Phone 8
A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes it can take to much screen real estate. Even so, we still want to give the user of the app an option to view it in its full state!
This article will show you how this can be accomplished by using visual states and a nice animation.
Basically when the user first opens the page containing the text and the image, the image will only be partially visible. This to draw attention to the actual text. But of course the image itself is also meaningful and we want to give the user the ability to open, or close it when he wants. This action can be triggered by tapping the image.
So first we need to set up the initial state of the page, so create a new basic Windows Phone project and add following xaml to the ContentPanel of the MainPage.xaml :
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="0">
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<Image x:Name="Image" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Source="/Assets/war_of_the_worlds_doomsday_final.jpg" Opacity="0.495" Height="100" Width="480" Stretch="UniformToFill" Tap="image_Tap"/>
<Image x:Name="IconExpand" Grid.Row="0" Width="40"
Source="/Assets/arrow.expand.png" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" IsHitTestVisible="False" />
<ScrollViewer Name="ScrollViewer"
<RichTextBox Name="Article" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<Run FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="22" Text="The Coming of the Martians" />
<LineBreak />
<Run Text="After introductory remarks, the narrative opens in an astronomical observatory at Ottershaw where explosions are seen on the surface of the planet Mars, creating much interest in the scientific community. Later a meteor lands on Horsell Common, near the narrator's home in Woking, Surrey. He is among the first to discover that the object is an artificial cylinder that opens, disgorging Martians who are big and greyish with oily brown skin, the size, perhaps, of a bear, with two large dark-coloured eyes, and a lipless V-shaped mouth surrounded by Gorgon groups of tentacles. The narrator finds them at once vital, intense, inhuman, crippled and monstrous. They briefly emerge, have difficulty in coping with the Earth's atmosphere, and rapidly retreat into the cylinder. A human deputation (which includes the astronomer Ogilvy) approaches the cylinder with a white flag, but the Martians incinerate them and others nearby with a heat-ray before beginning to assemble their machinery. Military forces arrive that night to surround the common, including Maxim guns. The population of Woking and the surrounding villages are reassured by the presence of the military. A tense day begins, with much anticipation of military action by the narrator." />
</code xml>
With that in place you get a page that resembles like the first screenshot above. The image is not fully visible and we've tweaked the opacity to draw less attention to it. There is also a small icon in the top right hand corner, this as a hint to the user that the image can be enlarged.
So now we need to add the tap to open animation.
For things like this I tend to use '''Blend''', because it offers a visual interface to define and work with '''Visual States'''!
So open the project in '''Blend" and go to the '''States''' tab, click on the '''Add state group''' icon and name your new group '''ImageViewGroup'''
Select the newly added state group and click twice on the '''Add state''' icon, name those states '''ClosedState''' and '''OpenState'''.
Also be sure to select the '''Default transition''' and click on the '''EasingFunction''' icon, this will set the actual visual animation that will be used when switching from one visual state to the other. I've selected the '''Cubic InOut''', but be sure to try out a few that fits your taste! Next, we need to define how long this animation will take. So to the right of the '''EasingFunction''' icon, set the amount of seconds you prefer. I've chosen 0.3 seconds, but this also is something you need to test out.
Check this screenshot to verify your settings: [[File:Blend States.png|thumb|Visual states]]

KHQ has learned the inmate connected to the investigation of Marriya Wright is 31-year old Matthew Baumrucker. Baumrucker is a repeat offender and a convicted felon. Baumrucker is currently housed in the Geiger correctional facility. His latest arrest in March of 2014 was for being felon in possession of a firearm. The FBI along with Spokane police are investigating this case. Due to a potential conflict of interest, Whitman County prosecutor Dennis Tracy will review the case and file charges if there is enough evidence found to charge Wright with a crime.
It's unclear what sparked this investigation and as of right now no charges have been filed. KHQ put in a request to speak with Baumrucker at the Geiger correctional facility about the case. Baumrucker initially agreed to speak to KHQ but later denied the request after speaking to his attorney. KHQ also called a listed phone number for Marriya Wright and went to a home with her listed address. No one answered the door and phone calls were not returned.
Late Wednesday afternoon KHQ's Dylan Wohlenhaus spoke with Chris Bugbee, Wright's attorney over the phone. Bugbee would not comment on the pending investigation but did say "I would hope the community would suspend judgment until all the facts come out."
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: SPOKANE, Wash - KHQ has confirmed that Marriya Wright with the Spokane County Prosecutors Office Property Unit has been placed on paid administrative leave for more than a month. Sources confirm that the investigation involves "inappropriate" contact with a Spokane jail inmate.
The conduct of the alleged relationship between Wright and the inmate is not known. According to the Spokane County Prosecutors Office, the paid administrative leave is standard and in line with state law and union contracts pending the investigation.
The FBI is investigating the case while Wright is on administrative leave. According to the Prosecutors Office, there are 5 Deputy Prosecutors assigned to the Property Unit.
A search of Marriya Wright displayed a public Facebook page with numerous photos posted online, including dozens of her in bodybuilding poses
SPOKANE, Wash. - Pig Out In The Park brings in thousands to delve into their favorite fair-like foods and put diets on the back burner. But this year is a little bit different, because organizers are calling it the largest pig out yet.

Tried on tap as part of the Local Taphouse Italian Spectapular.
Pours a golden colour, clear like a lager should be. Off-white head, foamy and good retention. Lovely head; lovely everything.
Smells nutty and fruity with plenty of hops overlying a cereal grain base aroma. Malty, but in a pilsenery sort of way so it's not too heavy or anything. Hops float on the top, nice and US-style tangy aroma hops. could have used more; in an imperial pils I expect hopping to be more aggressive than this.
Taste is very sweet upfront, loads of malt on it from an obviously big grain bill. Some cereal characters, wheat and oat grain coming through, with lots of US hops that kick in midway and manage a very fine job of cleaning up the palate by the end; citric, slightly piney and grassy. A beer of two halves, but both balance each other well.
Bit of booze on the mouthfeel; otherwise fine.
Kind of pedestrian, but fairly pleasant and enjoyable flavours. Maybe a good bridging beer for more extreme flavours.

Although I may be a skeptic of the style when a good beer is made of any style I get it love,this was quite good.Poured into a pokal a clear light to medium golden with a large frothy white crown,alot of tiny bubbles.Big bready pilsner malt aromas along with a big shot of leafy/spicy noble hops,the citric west coast hops bring a citrusy edge as well.Flavors have light honey-like sweetness along with mild white grape like some maibocks I have had,a real sharp peppery hop bite hits along with some overripe citrus fruit.A real nice lager beer,not to heavy with alot of things going on.

On tap at The Lion's Pride. I, too, was looking forward to having some Belgian beers, but couldn't pass this up. In a tulip glass the beer was a clear gold color with a voluminous white head. Lots of lacing. A very fresh, outdoors aroma, like newly mown grass. Hoppy, with a big malt influence. Kind of breadlike. A great Bohemian pilsner. Very drinkable; two went down fairly quickly.

375 mL bottle
A - Pours a hazy golden brown with massive four finger off-white head. Head has excellent retention and coats the glass with lacing.
S - Pils malt, grassy hops, a bit of lemon. Also a very light bubblegum aroma.
T - Pils malt and grassy hops. Quite herbal. A bit of citrus. Finish is quite dry and bitter.
M - Medium mouthfeel with nice carbonation and a clean, bitter finish.
O - If this was only brewed once as listed, this bottle is getting old, which is reflected by the reduced hop presence compared to the DFH version I had not long ago. Still, pretty tasty and was probably even better fresh.

Mini growler pour from Decicco's in Ardsley, NY. Very clear darker orangy golden, with a slight greenish, olive oil sheen. Near white heat that collects at about 1/2 inch, stays for a spell. Loose and light, leaving a collar and moderate lace/light sheeting. Lime in the nose, grassy hops and light malts. Full flavor brew, with more lime up front, bold and bracing. Some alcohol simmering in the mid section and then a moderatly snappy and dry finish. Clean and tasty offering. Interesting collaboration. Enjoyed the mini growler, but not sure if I'm a big fan of the style.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Feb 2013. Picked up from one of York's finest Italian delis.
Poured into a Duvel tulip. A very hazy golden-amber hue with medium carbonation - the amount of sediment indicates that this is bottle-conditioned. Produces a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding to a decent surface layer. Aroma of hops - lots of hops! Notes of citrus, especially grapefruit and oranges, alongside tropical fruit and a whiff of pine. A warm, spicy hint in the background - possibly alcohol.
Tastes of overwhelmingly fruity hops with a sweet malt backbone and a bitter finish. Notes of grapefruit, white grapes, citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. Light, sweet malt in the background along with yeasty esters. A crisp, fruity bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is velvety smooth, tingly and dry. Fantastic body and considerable astringency. Aftertaste of fruity aromatic hops.
Mmmmm - tasty! An unusual style but packed with flavour. Tons of aromatic hops, with solid malt in the background. The mouthfeel is nice; very smooth with a pleasing texture (bearing in mind that a typical pilsner would be quite light). Similar to a DIPA, and just as good. An excellent showcase of what Italian craft is capable of (with a little help :)

On-tap at Bir & Fud in Rome.
Pours a clear copper color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of a combination of pilsner and caramel malts and a good amount of buttery diacetyl. As the beer warms the diacetyl fades a bit allowing the malt aromas to shine through more.
Tastes very similar to how it smells. Sweet caramel malt flavors with crisper pilsner malt serving as a backbone kick things off and are joined shortly by solid amounts of buttery flavors. Midway through the sip light amounts of earthy hops join in, carrying through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a slick thickness with smooth carbonation.
Drinkability is OK. I finished my glass without any problems but I'm not sure about another.
Overall I was told that this batch was not the best that's been made and I believe it. As the beer warmed and the diacetyl flavors faded it was evident there was a good beer underneath it all but unfortunately I wasn't able to see, smell, or taste it.

A different take on this style. On tap at Cole's, who brought it in again. Golden with a thick white head, that leaves lots of lace. I was Ok with the pils hops,I think some ideas that didn't come together and still not that drinkable.Neutral aroma.Drying.

A: mellow honey body with delicate bubbles lazily rising to form a thin white head that started out thick and fluffy
S: floral and lemony smelling hops and a tinge of alcohol brought out as the beer warms. For some reason, pilsners have a soapy smell to me.
T: as the nose depicts, there's a clean refreshing taste of flavors, specifically the lemon but has a candy like sweetness with a mild bitter.
M: smooth light body with a faint carbonation
O: first ever imperial pilsner I've ever had and this has me interested in trying more of the style.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
A-Clear golden color with a thick white lingering head. Heavy lacing while drinking.
S-Typical smell for the style, aroma of subtle hops.
T-Great hoppy pilsner taste, the west coast hops are noticable, but not overpowering. Very smooth and pleasant.
M-Goes down easy, and the hop flavor lingered in my mouth well after drinking.
D-Very easy to drink, the 7.5% feels like 4%. Great beer for the summer.

Pours a golden yellow with very good clarity, but way to much carbonation with a very soft pour. also there was a bit of sediment present as well. once the head finally subsided there was nice webs of lace.
S: I could smell hops as soon as i opened the bottle. very fresh and clean smelling herbal notes along with a hint of citrus orange and lemon in the background
T: Fruity and grassy with some smooth and pleasant caramel undertones. the hops have a nice oily presence and the caramel adds a touch of balancing sweetness in the finish
M: Good creaminess and body that is dry and refreshing, with only a mild hint ot heat.
D: I feel like this is a beer that could catch up with you fast. quite quaffable but yet not something about it is slightly off

Pours an effervescent amber/apricot with 2+ fingers of pearl colored head. Insane lacing & head retention, slight hazyness
S: Bready, some pears not much else
T: Big time breadyness, orange peel, grapefruit & tangerine up front. More grapefruit, plus pineapple as this warms, pears as well as this warms, slight aspirin bitterness as well, hints of white grape in the background. Finishes with white grapes, pears & much grapefruit, plus plenty of pine apple
MF: Medium bodied, crisp carbonation, lovely balance

Bought from Grassroots Natural Market in Jacksonville on 7/1/11.
Poured from a 12.7oz bottle into a pilsner glass.
A - Nice golden color. Head is a creamy white color. Two finger head quickly dissipates into one finger head. Leaves a decent belgian lace on glass.
S - Pleasant lemon aroma and hints of other citrus such as oranges. Good malt character helps balance out the strong hop aroma. Some grassy notes.
T - Extremely pleasant grassy flavor coming from the hops. Slight lemon flavor mixed with some orange. I taste a bit of alcohol. The hops mix extremely well with the pilsner style. The taste of hops continue to linger after the beer is completed.
M - Good mouth feel. Feels medium bodied. Hops give this particular beer a bite of a bite.
Overall a great pilsner. A bit more hoppy than most but it is fairly balanced. I would definitely drink again. I could drink this as a session beer even at 7.5%.

A new mobile application aims to help women learn if they're in an unsafe relationship.
Researchers with the University of Missouri and Johns Hopkins University collaborated to create the One Love My Plan app. It's a free, anonymous application that helps women determine if they're experiencing the normal ups and downs of a relationship, or if they're involved in a potentially dangerous situation.
The One Love My Plan app opens with a series of questions to help define dangerous relationships and develop a plan to get help if needed.
"if they have experienced [domestic violence] earlier in their life, if their parents have been in an abusive relationship they are more likely going to have the red flags of those potential domestic violence relationships," said victim's advocate Sheila Frampton with the Women's Center in Carbondale.
According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline website, females ages 18 to 24, and 25 to 34 generally experience the highest rates of intimate partner violence. According to a recent Pew Research survey, those are the same age groups most likely to turn to an app as nine out of 10 18 to 29 year olds own a cell phone and say they use mobile applications.
The app is password protected, but not fool proof says Frampton. It connect to outside websites that are not password protected and would show up in a search history for snooping eyes to see.
"I think it could be a good thing, but if they have someone who is stalking them and looking at every single move they make, technology is not the way to go per se," Frampton said.
Frampton suggests letting a friend download the app on their phone for you to look through, or looking at the One Love My Plan website on a public computer at your local library. However, she says technology can't replace the help trained victim advocates can provide.
"One on one is always better," Frampton said. "A person going through this type of situation needs support."
To download the One Love My Plan app, just search One Love My Plan in your iPhone or Android app store.

The indie game scene has had no shortage of puzzle games over the years. In a post-Braid world, it has become rather common for the most noteworthy indie games to have puzzle elements, and luckily we've gotten plenty of entertaining ones over the years. In 2013 the puzzle game you definitely need to play is The Swapper, a moody atmospheric puzzle game built on using clones to solving its puzzles.
The game what initially comes off as a simple set up. The basic premise ultimately falls right in line with an Event Horizon or a Dead Space. Group of scientists bring something on board, it makes everyone go crazy and before long the entire station is abandoned. What makes The Swapper so engaging, however, on its narrative level is what it focuses on with this premise.

Washington Times-Herald
In a time when many schools are eliminating their arts programs, the Washington Catholic Schools community is looking to expand theirs, and the public can help with a daily vote online or by text.
WC art teacher Jennifer Carrico learned about a grant contest sponsored by Clorox through their Power A Bright Future grants for school programs and nominated WC. Voting began Nov. 12 and will continue through Dec. 19. The top vote-getter will receive a $50,000 grant, and six other nominees will receive $25,000.
"We're very excited about the opportunity," said junior/senior high school Principal Karie Craney. "The art program has been a blessing to the school. I'm grateful we can offer art class."
According to Carrico, Craney and some sixth-grade students, WC hasn't always had a separate art program. Prior to about five years ago, each classroom teacher was responsible for art projects in the classroom.
"We didn't have art until second grade," said Shaylee Truelove. "It's really a good thing. We always just had art in the classroom, but once we got an art teacher we could do more."
Carrico, who credits her predecessor, Peggy Taylor, with getting the art program off the ground, said winning the grant money would allow WC students to widen their horizons and explore a variety of media. Currently, students in grades one through eight work with oil pastels, graphite, watercolors, acrylics and yarn.
"I think it'll get us more stuff to use throughout the year," Holt Fry said about the grant. "It'll help us do more projects a year."
Keonia Thomas, Chloe Bryant and Brock Craney agreed the art classroom could use more supplies because markers dry out, colored pencils get used up, and they could use a wider variety of paintbrush sizes. In addition, Brock Craney thinks it would be nice to get a kiln.
"Right now there's no clay program, no ceramics," Carrico explained.
"At the high school level, students have an opportunity to take classes in photography, graphic design, sculpture, painting and drawing. Sadly, the art room does not have a sink. Students can't wash their hands unless they walk across the building to get to the restrooms, which creates a mess in the hallways and bathroom."
Kyle Ashby said when he has to leave the art room to go wash up — which requires navigating several hallways to the other side of the building — he always hopes he won't miss out on anything happening in the classroom.
Carrico added that some projects, such as papier-maché and pottery, are a challenge — or even impossible — without easy access to water.
"The money would allow the art room to get a sink, art supplies, technology and a kiln, with some possible renovations to expand the space for a clay studio," Carrico said. "With the grant, WC will be able to purchase a kiln, and students would be able to work with clay, which will spark excitement and creativity."
Being able to upgrade technology would eliminate problems with old computers that break down and freeze up, she continued, and it would better prepare students for college.
"Photography class would love to use Photoshop instead of the outdated software being used today," Carrico said.
Artist Georgia O'Keefe once said: "I found I could say things with colors and shapes that I couldn't say any other way — things I had no words for." That's a key reason to include art in the curriculum, according to Ashby, art classes allow students to express their creativity. Erik Hunter added that it gives students "a sense of fun" that book work doesn't always provide.
"I think it's important to have an art program because it's another way for students to learn," Principal Craney said. "It's another opportunity to find areas of life they're successful at or have a future career in."
According to educationworld.com: Basic drawing provides links with reading, writing and especially math. It teaches that a mistake is not mistake, and how to learn to change a perceived mistake into something else. It teaches about history and culture, and how to communicate ideas in other ways. It encourages critical thinking and creative problem solving, and it creates opportunities for students whose visual skills are stronger than their verbal skills. In addition, the website pointed out, ideas and information are most often delivered visually in today's society, so youths in art programs learn how to evaluate those messages. The website Kinderart.com had similar information, saying art promotes activity in the brain, nurtures inventiveness and aids development of self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation and self-motivation.
Sixth-grader Anna Barber thinks winning the grant and enhancing the WC's art program will be a boon for the school.
"I think it'll help our school get more students and help the school get better art opportunities," she said. "I think it'll be interesting."
There are four contest categories: play, create, explore and judge's pick. The top vote-getters in each category will receive $25,000. In addition, representatives of Clorox will select a nominee from each category, based on merit, to receive $25,000. Winners will be announced in January.
"I think it's very generous of the company, Clorox, that they might donate a $50,000 grant," Hunter said.
To vote online, individuals can go to https://powerabrightfuture.clorox.com/nominees/detail/?nid=2118 or text 2118pbf to 95248.

Pours into a small tulip glass a slightly hazed lemony yellow with a large blooming white head that settles very slowly leaving multiple rings of thick lace behind.Lemon oils,lightly spiced phenols,and toasted grain in the nose.Lemon comes to find upfront on the palate along with some grapefruit juice,toasted cereal grain and just a hint of funk and phenol spice round out the flavors profile.Not bad and kinda refreshing,not over the top with the yeast wich is a good thing...in my opinion.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy golden yellow with a big rocky white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is wheaty malts with resiny hops and some spicy belgian yeast and some tropical fruit.
The flavor is sweet bready malts with some funky spicy yeast and a little fruit and a pretty big bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with lots of sharp carbonation.
Overall, a solid spicy Belgian IPA. It has good bitterness, but the spice and funk overwhelm the hop flavors.

12 ouncer, bottled 8/29/13
Pours clouded dull yellowy amber. Moderate near white head, that stays a spell, before going to a thicker film, collar and nice lookin low strands of lacing.
Bright and zesty citric nose, mostly lemon comes to mind.
Loads of lemon and bright assorted citrus on the palate. I'd like a more prominent yeasty component, but this is still some tasty and quite worthy stuff. Biting, herbal and fresh tasting hops dry out the party in your mouth. Tasty and delicious. Go get some and enjoy. Super cool label is a bonus

12 oz bottle at fridge temp poured into a tulip. 5.7% ABV. "BTLD 8/29/13" stamped on the neck (~3 1/2 months old)
Pop ours out a really nice straw yellow color, maybe a hint of gold in there. Hazy body. Big, fluffy, rocky, pure white head, big soapy bubbles, wonderful head retention and lacing.
The aroma is that big spicey Stillwater yeast strain I've come to know. The hopiness is adding to the spiciness, lemon citrus hops, lots of yeast phenols, pepper, clove, maybe even some herbal like spiciness.
Seems more like an IPA in the taste as the aroma was more about the yeast. Still lots of spicey Belgian yeast phenols. Slightly tart lemon citrus hop bitterness. A bit of clove, white pepper.
Light mouthfeel with a high, slightly bitey carbonation. A very refreshing beer.
A very nice beer, but very similar to the 2 other Stillwater beers I've had so far(cellar door and stateside) with maybe a bit more hops in this one. Their yeast strain seems to dominate. Definatly worth a try.

A gentle pour raises a large creamy white head in my Belgian snifter. A bit of sediment remains in the bottle after a full pour. The hazy yellow-gold body smells of grassy hops and Belgian yeast, with hints of lemon and other citrus fruits plus a faint funkiness. The faint funk remains in the flavor, where the generous hopping suitable for an IPA is apparent. Fruity/grassy hop. Mild-moderate bitterness.
O: a nicely crafted 'Belgian' IPA.

A: Pale straw yellow with a slight orange glow and a gloriously large head. It fades leaving all sorts of sticky white strings and patches in its place.
S: The first thing I notice is the freshness. Then the fresh aromas themselves and how they're mixing with sweet spice and crisp grains. Everything's nice and soft too. Citrus, herbs, grass, tea, a hint of cookies, and miscellaneous wild flowers.
T: All of the above with the addition of tingly bitterness.
M: Dry, crisp, chewy, fluid, and very finely resinous.
O: This is quite well done and also easily consumable.

Bright, hay colored body - very hazy. Incredibly foamy brew with fantastic retention and epic lacing. This is what every IPA should look like!
Piney and floral hops dominate the aromascape. Light citrus sweetness with a bit of spice and heavy Belgium yeast character. Phenomenal.
Bitterness attacks the buds with haste! Pine and grass hops hit right up front with a ground black pepper spicing things up. Light sweetness on the finish.
Medium bodied with spot on carbonation. Finish is semi-sweet, which is a nice break from the dry finish of most IPAs I've had lately. Easy to drink (and enjoy) after the initial shock from the hop attack.
Another tasty, brutal beer from Stillwater! I'd go as far as calling this a palate wrecker, but it's got enough character to keep you interested while your tongue takes a beating. Well worthy your coin.

BUCKEYE, Ariz. -- Authorities are trying to determine who shot a 69-year-old man along state Route 85 west of Buckeye.
Maricopa County Sheriff's officials were contacted around 9 a.m. Wednesday about a shooting victim at a truck stop at Interstate 10.
Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Brandon Jones says the man and his girlfriend were visiting the Buckeye area when they stopped in a desert area near the Gila River.
The man was then shot, but it remains unclear who did it and why.
Jones says the wounded man and his girlfriend drove to a gasoline station and asked for help.
Authorities say the man was taken to a hospital and is expected to recover.
His name hasn't been released yet.

If Adolf Hitler's political and social policies were a product of atheism and secularism, why did he consistently say that religious faith was necessary for morality? Why did Hitler insist that faith is one of the most important things in life? Adolf Hitler's own words make it clear that he was convinced of the importance and necessity of religious faith - not at all unlike the conviction of conservative Christians today.
1. Adolf Hitler: Faith is the Only Basis for Morality
This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief. The great masses of a nation are not composed of philosophers. For the masses of the people, especially faith is absolutely the only basis of a moral outlook on life. The various substitutes that have been offered have not shown any results that might warrant us in thinking that they might usefully replace the existing denominations. ...There may be a few hundreds of thousands of superior men who can live wisely and intelligently without depending on the general standards that prevail in everyday life, but the millions of others cannot do so.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 10
2. Adolf Hitler: Faith is Harder to Shake than Knowledge
Faith is harder to shake than knowledge, love succumbs less to change than respect, hate is more enduring than aversion, and the impetus to the mightiest upheavals on this earth has at all times consisted less in a scientific knowledge dominating the masses than in a fanaticism which inspired them and sometimes in a hysteria which drove them forward.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Vol. 1 Chapter 12
3. Adolf Hitler: Fanaticism of Faith can Move Mountains
All in all, this whole period of winter 1919-20 was a single struggle to strengthen confidence in the victorious might of the young movement and raise it to that fanaticism of faith which can move mountains.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Vol. 1 Chapter 12
4. Adolf Hitler: Faith Lifts Us Above the Level of Animal Existence
By helping to lift the human being above the level of mere animal existence, Faith really contributes to consolidate and safeguard its own existence. Taking humanity as it exists to-day and taking into consideration the fact that the religious beliefs which it generally holds and which have been consolidated through our education, so that they serve as moral standards in practical life, if we should now abolish religious teaching and not replace it by anything of equal value the result would be that the foundations of human existence would be seriously shaken.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 2 Chapter 1

Aqua Page Builder gets a new facelift today with a bunch of bug fixes and enhancements. Among the highlights is the new flat UI that blends better with the newer version of WordPress. The tabs navigation has also been replaced with a cleaner, quick-select menu.
Other than that, there has not been a major code changes except for some various cleanups. If you've been using a your own custom JS/CSS files, I'd suggest that to take a peek at some of the newer commits to make sure there are no conflicts.
For now, this new version will sit on Github for about a week or two to give time for authors to report any bugs before I made it available on WordPress.org shortly afterwards.
The Editr WordPress Theme is by far one of the most interesting themes I've worked on. If you're familiar with TNW, then you'd probably know where the inspirations are coming from. One of key features of the theme, code-wise, is the implementation of Backbone.js + Underscore.js which just recently came pre-packaged with WordPress v3.5.
Continue Reading →
I get plenty of questions from people asking on how I setup the custom registration form on my support forum. It wasn't that complex yet it's not really that straightforward to explain either. Therefore I've decided to release this plugin which would hopefully help you setup your own custom BBPress Support Forum. Continue Reading →
So I just created a new Facebook page for Malaysian who lives & breathe WordPress. I'm not targeting for big numbers, just a platform to interact with all the nice people who shares the same interest. Hopefully it'll just naturally grow into a community that everyone can be proud of.

For the next few months I'll be answering any questions, providing professional WP tips & advice on the page. International members & participations are always welcomed.
P/S: I don't do shit half hearted.
A few months ago I wrote an article on how to generate dynamic css file which you can use for storing your css options data, among its many other practical uses. There is no shortage of real world examples where dynamic css were used with little to zero impact on security & performance it might do to your site (with correct implementation), but a few doing_it_right() policemen were not very happy with how we're using certain functions that's not "WP compliant" in that tutorial. Therefore here's another instalment of that method, and a small enhancement to top it off. Continue Reading →
A few months back I have been talking about building some sort of a template builder framework for WordPress themes. I don't get around to focus too much on the project, so things has been going pretty slow with it. The last few weeks however, after much throttling of my sleeping schedules and passing a few client works; Voilà, the Aqua Page Builder. Continue Reading →
Not gonna write a long post here, since I already did a rather concise yet lengthy write-up about the script on WPExplorer.
What the script does basically is to resize and/or crop images from WordPress on-demand. It is easy to use, fast, secure and efficient.
One of it's most important ingredients is the implementation of WordPress built-in functions, meaning it's completely native. You know what that means – No more 777 folders, manual querying database for attachment id etc. Just feed in the url and you're golden.
The script is now singing and dancing on Github so go grab it while it's hot. If you have issues with it please, please, please post it on its Github issue page, and if the script saved your life please give me your sister's contact no.
P/S: Thanks to AJ for testing the script and for that awesome looking feature image. I hope you live up to 90 and have many kids.
I am rather ecstatic to see the number of interests people had with SMOF, and the growing number of themes already successfully porting it into their themes. It just feels great to see my work benefiting other people.
Anyway, the reason I am writing this post is to raise my concern over a few matters regarding the usage & modifications of SMOF. If you're planning to use SMOF in your themes, and plan to continue updating it as more features & bug fixes come along in the future then you should definitely read this. Continue Reading →
This documentation will serve as a starting point for you to setup SMOF and will be updated from time to time as the SMOF is further developed in the future. Ultimately, I will probably just dedicate a full page documentation on this site, and include a downloadable HTML copy of it on Github. Enough talking, let's get started. Continue Reading →
If you are a premium theme developer, there may be times when you will need to generate dynamic css/js files to be used inside your theme. An example to this is when you want the users to be able to change certain aspects of the CSS including colors, backgrounds, padding, borders etc, or add their own css classes/id's.
There are a few popular approaches that theme developers used, including directly inserting the css code inside header.php, or call it from a style.php file. Most of these approaches have been explained by Ivan on The best way to create dynamic CSS for your WP theme.
But these approaches have problems of its own. For example, inserting css directly skips the
wp_enqueue_style and still adding a few PHP calls to the header everytime the page loads; or using style.php would not only adding more PHP calls, but also require the server to load WordPress twice which is a no-no according to Otto – Don't include wp-load, please. Worse of all, none of these methods provide an ideal environment for cache plugins like W3 Total Cache. Ultimately, nothing beats the old school way which is a static css (e.g. styles.css) which is then enqueued inside functions.php – and that's the direction I'm going with this tutorial.

With thousands of people without power due to the ice storm, crews are working to get the lights back on. The workers are dealing with an overnight ice buildup that tore down power lines across central Virginia.
Most of the outages can be blamed on tree limbs weighed down by ice falling on power lines and tearing those down with them. Utility trucks are responding to reports of outages that came in overnight and as people woke up to no power Monday morning.
Dominion brought in extra crews ahead of Sunday's storm. Right now there are clusters of outages in Keswick and Ivy, each with several hundred customers without power.
Stan Blackwell of Dominion Virginia Power stated, "I would ask customers have patience. We are working very hard to get all power restored for most of our customers by this evening and will have a handful that may carry overnight."
The power companies are reminding you to stay away from downed power lines and call to have the professionals safely clear those.
As of Monday night, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative had about 3,187 customers without power. Crews are still assessing the damage and making repairs with help from utility companies in Georgia and other parts of Virginia.

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
Much progress has been made in representing African-American life onscreen, but there's a long way to go.
An updated list of the theatrical venues and VOD platforms currently screening "Life Itself."
American filmmaker Derek Cianfrance takes on too much at all at once in "The Place Beyond the Pines," an over-stuffed, hyper-pulpy, and mostly trite trifurcated drama about family, crime, and moral ambiguity. Cianfrance's film, his follow-up to the similarly lop-sided, but otherwise superior "Blue Valentine," follows four men: a daredevil motorcyclist who becomes a bank robber, a mealy-mouthed smalltown cop who's not the hero his peers think he is, and their respective sons.
Aesthetically, "The Place Beyond the Pines" is an unwieldy mix of psychological realism and visual impressionism, so Cianfrance's characters' dialogue is deliberately coarse while his film's mise-en-scène is distractingly mannered. Ostentatiously composed compositions, manic narrative pacing, and a thunderous Sturm-und-Drang score all strain to make a grand tragedy out of four salt-of-the-earth types' contrived stories.
The worst of these offenses is Cianfrance's over-mannered direction, which slavishly tries to replicate his characters' emotional confusion in visual terms. In one scene, he shows a married couple talking to each other in bed, and takes great pains to plop viewers into the middle of their conversation, so it feels semi-realistic. But Cianfrance also takes great pains to highlight the moon's reflection on both man and wife's up-turned lips as they talk to each other.
That kind of purposeless style-over-substance embellishment is frustrating, but Cianfrance does his talented cast an even greater disservice when he doesn't even show us people's faces as they react to crucial dramatic questions. In one memorably botched exchange, a boy asks his father's friend what his dad was like, and the friend responds with trepidation somewhere off-screen. Both the broad and narrow strokes that Cianfrance and his two co-writers used to sketch out their epic crime narrative are indistinct.
The first of the film's three inter-related storylines concerns Luke (Ryan Gosling), a sideshow motorcyclist who learns he knocked up Romina (Eva Mendes), a Schnectady local, when he last blew through town with a traveling circus. Because speed is understandably the thing in Luke's story, everything happens instantly, leaving no time for us to wonder about Luke's motives. He meets Robin (Ben Mendelsohn), a fellow motorbike enthusiast, they immediately hit it off, Luke moves in with Robin, but Robin can't give Luke much work, so Robin suggests robbing banks together, and they rob banks until one such bank job inevitably goes bad.
Save for a risibly anti-climactic car chase where Luke is pursued by cops at every turn despite his best evasive maneuvers, these initial scenes are not only rushed, but they're also too in love with the film's pseudo-raw dialogue. Cianfrance and his co-writers want to make Luke look like a realistic tough guy, so when Romina's husband Kofi (Mahershala Ali) tells Luke to get out of his house, the two men puff out their chests and bark at each other a couple times before either man makes a move. But Luke is vindicated by scene's end: his baby son stops crying after he picks him up.
Despite Cianfrance's slavish attempts at adding superficial nuance, his film's narrative is also consistently neat and unambiguous. It's telling that when Robin tells Luke that, "If you ride like lightning, you're going to crash like thunder," he's filmed in extreme close-up from below, and his make-up is done up in such a way that it underlines the idea that Robin, a lonely, desperate guy, is characteristically talking faster than his brain can process what he's saying. In this scene, the film's screenwriters are speaking louder than their character.
The second storyline in "The Place Beyond the Pines" is the strongest of the three, only because Bradley Cooper gives a surprisingly solid performance as Avery, a cop who gets involved in Luke's story once Luke fouls up a bank job. But Avery's story is also too reliant on pointless aesthetic flourishes, and largely populated by unbelievable characters, many of whom illustrate Cianfrance's banal observations about the pervasive, institutionalized abuse of power (SPOILER ALERT: cops are just as bad as crooks!). The same is basically true of the film's third storyline, in which Luke and Avery's sons settle what their fathers started.
Tacky and nonsensical dialogue guilelessly spells everything out, making thematic subtext redundant. The creators of "The Place Beyond the Pines" try to hyper-realistically replicate the disharmony and pathos of real life, but wind up making a flat, jumbled drama that's sadly less than the sum of its many disjunctive parts.
