Obviously, if Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame are going to release a video on Halloween, they're going to go all the way with it. Specifically, they're going to put on rubber masks and gloves and chainsaw-murder dominatrixes. In fact, the only thing that confuses me about director Gabriel Hart's "Crazy" video is the fact that these dominatrixes are willing to dance with Gucci and Flocka immediately after being chainsaw-murdered. The end product is NSFW as fuck, and you can watch it below.

It's almost world juniors time again, with the eagerly anticipated annual tournament kicking off next week in Russia. Here's an advanced scouting report on the 10 teams competing to take home the gold.
The good Top prospect Seth Jones is the son of former NBA star Popeye Jones, but chose to pursue a career in hockey instead in an attempt to maximize the percentage of his career he can lose to lockouts.
The bad Have had to waste valuable training camp time repeatedly ejecting undercover Russian spy Alex Galchenyuk and his ridiculous cover story about being born in Wisconsin.
The good Are apparently the defending champion, according to North American hockey fans who just checked the results of last year's tournament on Wikipedia because they stop paying attention once their team is out.
The bad Goaltender Oscar Dansk was a high pick in the 2012 NHL draft, but it was by Columbus, so it's possible he's never actually been on skates before.
The good Are said to have their most athletically gifted team ever.
The bad That means that when somebody yells "Oh no, Team Canada is taking a slapshot, everybody run!" some of the players will be physically capable of running.
The good The national program continues to produce excellent players.
The bad Many of them are unavailable for this tournament because, following long-established Slovakian law, the country's five best players each year are merged Voltron-style to create a new version of Zdeno Chara.
The good The team has been described as being so focused and determined that they're only planning to execute a spinning double-backflip into the end glass after their 14th goal against Switzerland instead of the usual triple-backflip.
The bad Are hosting the tournament, meaning they will play each game in front of thousands of local fans who spend the entire game muttering, "Wait, isn't this that tournament that only people in Canada actually care about?"
The good The team is led by a baby-faced star who has invigorated everyone with his youthful enthusiasm.
The bad At some point tournament officials will realize it's a locked out Teemu Selanne and tell him to go home.
The good Forward Toms Andersons is extremely difficult to contain, mainly because he's actually several guys named Tom Anderson.
The bad Basically start the tournament one win behind everyone else in their group, since they're the only team that doesn't get a chance to play Latvia.
The good Their opening game against Canada takes place at 4:30 a.m. ET, so their 19-0 loss will probably only be seen by maybe seven or eight million people.
The bad For some reason, have gone with a roster made up almost entirely of Germans.
The good Scouts are once again describing them as "the fastest team in the entire tournament."
The bad Scouts are once again immediately adding " … at getting through airport security, since they haven't set off a metal detector since 2005."
The good Will feature six returning players from last year's bronze-medal squad, since that's how many managed to swim back to shore after being placed on an ice floe by the Canadian government for failing to finish first.
The bad Will have to beat Russia on their home ice to win gold, which will probably take some of the novelty off of doing it again at the 2014 Olympics.

#1 - Happy birthday!
# 2 - I am in the same boat. I am 38 weeks and my birthday is tomorrow. I'd love to get an early introduction, but I'm trying to be patient since he doesn't seem to be ready or willing just yet.
The good thing is we don't have much longer!!!
Happy Birthday!
My birthday was Super Bowl Sunday - I was just over 39 weeks and I thought it was going to be the day, but looks like this little one really wants his/her own day! I hope it happens for you and you get to meet your little girl today, but don't be discouraged if it doesn't!

The Tigers' Austin Jackson had an impressive rookie season in 2010. He hit .293, stole 27 bases, and scored 103 runs while playing strong defense. For a follow up his effort receded to .249, 22 and 90 in 2011. Jackson not only reclaimed his '10 glory in 2012, but he blew past that effort (save for a drastic dip in steals). Where are we now that we have three years of data to look at with the fleet of foot center fielder?
In 2012 Jackson hit a career best .300. He hit 16 homers after hitting 14 the first two years. He knocked in a career best 65 runs, 21 more than in either of his first two seasons. He scored 103 runs to tie his rookie mark. He also hit double-digit triples for the third straight year and substantially boosted his OBP (.377 compared to .331 his first two years) and SLG (.479 compared to .387 his first two years). How did all this good come about?
Any time I see a guy's batting average spike I look at his plate discipline, his BABIP and his line drive rate. I see some interesting things with Jackson. Here are his three year numbers in each category.
2010: 0.28 BB/K, .396 BABIP, 24.2 line drive rate 2011: 0.31 BB/K, .340 BABIP, 16.8 line drive rate 2012: 0.50 BB/K, .371 BABIP, 23.8 line drive rate
First off, the significant growth he flashed in the BB/K ratio in his third year is huge. Year three saw Jackson walk more than ever before while at the same time striking out fewer than in either of his first two seasons. It's acceptable for a 20 homer hitter to strikeout out in more than quarter of his at-bats (his 2012 mark was 21.7 percent), but it's pretty tough to justify that when a batter is averaging 10 homers through three seasons. At least he's slightly better than the big league average now. Let's hope he can sustain that and his encore effort doesn't see that number spike.
Second, look that BABIP. Wow is right. Jackson led baseball in 2010 and I predicted his batting average would fall in 2011 (see how eerily accurate my predictions were in Second Year Players). In 2011 his BABIP regressed substantially but it was still a dominating number (one that ranked him 19th in baseball). That's still pretty damn good is it not? In 2012 Jackson split the difference of his first two seasons, in fact his .371 BABIP was one point above his career average through three seasons. Where did that .371 BABIP place him in 2012? How about fifth in baseball. So here is the pertinent question. Is his .370 career mark a sustainable pace? History says no. One of the five greatest hitters of all-time, Ty Cobb's career number is .378. Jackson is obviously no Cobb. A more modern comparison might be Ichiro Suzuki whose career BABIP is .347. I'm not saying it's impossible for Jackson to do what he has done in two of his three seasons. I'm merely pointing out that no one does this. No one. Odds are strong that Jackson's "down" 2011 is more likely to be the norm moving forward. Can his growth at the plate, more walks and less strikeouts, help him to maintain a near .300 batting average if his BABIP is merely historic and not otherworldly? Something to think about.
Jackson hit 16 homers last season after going deep 14 times his first two seasons. Why the growth an is it sustainable? Watching Jackson play it's hard not to be impressed by his talent. There are also plenty of baseball people that thought Jackson could be a 20 homer guy at some point in his career. Therefore, I'm inclined to say last years growth was legit. Against that belief though is that the numbers don't support it. Jackson hit 34 percent of his batted balls into the air. That's just slightly above his career 32.3 percent mark and still below the league average fly ball rate (36 percent or so). So if he didn't jack the ball into the air he must have jumped that HR/F ratio then. That it did. Jackson's first two seasons saw him post marks of 3.3 and 6.9 percent. Add those together and you get 10.2 percent. In 2012 his HR/F ratio was 11.4 percent. The raw number isn't huge, the league average is usually in the 9-10 percent range, but the guy doubled his career rate, and that's not something I can categorically say he will do yet again in 2013 (by that I mean hold on tot the 11.4 percent rate). I'm leaning more toward saying the power is legit than arguing against it, but I'm not 100 percent sold yet.
All of the good we've been discussing helps to alleviate some of the concern with Jackson's steal total. After 49 thefts his first two seasons, seasons of 27 and 22, Jackson's steal total was cut in half down to 12. Not just that, after being caught only 11 times his first two seasons he was caught nine times in 2012. So not only was his steal total was cut in half while his caught stealing rate doubled. That's not something that anyone wants to see. There's no reason at all to think that Jackson can't return to the 20 steal level in 2013, but just like his homer total, I'm not ready to call it a lock given his struggles last season.
Jackson doesn't have the power or speed to be an elite fantasy performer. That said, his overall game is extremely impressive. Fueled by growth in his plate discipline, Jackson is coming off his best season in year three. Could year four see him rise to even further heights of glory? Certainly, but as I've noted a couple of times, I don't consider his ascension to an even higher plane in 2013 to be a lock.

Amazon.com is obsessed with a fervor to serve consumer and shareholder alike. Since its inception over fifteen years ago, Amazon.com has steadily grown from a burgeoning "dot-com" corporation into a multinational monster, a king in the domain of internet retail. It targets two goals: the satisfaction of a customer and efficient corporate growth. Its marketing strategies are near-legendary, and budding business should take a page – or several chapters – from Amazon.com's proven marketing manual.
Amazon.com History
Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com founder and CEO, dreamed about books. In 1994, he created Amazon.com, Inc., which he labeled as "Earth's Biggest Bookstore." The ecommerce company went online in 1995 and soon expanded into other media, including DVDs, VHS, CDs, MP3s, and eventually a wide range of other products, including toys, electronics, furniture and apparel. As such, the tagline soon changed to "Earth's Largest Selection." But books were only the beginning of Bezo's up-and-coming enterprise.
Amazon.com went public in 1997. In the first shareholder letter, Bezos penned the fundamental foundation for Amazon.com's success: "Start with customers, and work backwards … Listen to customers, but don't just listen to customers – also invent on their behalf … Obsess over customers." This policy was backed by a startling business philosophy – Bezos planned on operating at a loss for 4-5 years. It was not until 2001 that Amazon.com posted a net profit at a minuscule one-cent per share. Yet, despite its bizarre business strategy, Amazon.com claimed over 1.4 million customers after only two years of being online.
Now, 45 million satisfied customers shop at Amazon.com for everything from books (most popular) to fashion apparel to fine jewelry to Christmas toys. It has one of the most recognized brand names in the world and garners an estimated 50% of its sales from overseas consumers. Surviving the dot-com bust of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Amazon weathered the e-storms and now thrives in the retail marketplace, challenging vending giants like Wal-Mart and Target. Focused on technological innovation and centered on customer fulfillment, Amazon.com proceeds into the next decade with a profit firmly in one hand, and the capacity to blow it out of the water in the other hand.
Amazon.com's Business Philosophy
Despite its massive growth, Amazon.com remains unremittingly focused on the consumer. Out of 452 company goals in 2009, 360 directly affected customer experience. Amazon.com's self-proclaimed mission statement is: "We seek to be Earth's most customer-centric company for three primary customer sets: consumer customers, seller customers and developer customers." In a special for the Miami Herald, journalist Jack Hardy declares: "Customer obsession; innovation; bias for action; ownership; high hiring bar and frugality. These six core values focus Amazon.com's operational strategies." It is committed to long-term growth based on consumer satisfaction.
Myriads of Marketing Strategies
Amazon.com bases its marketing stratagem on six pillars.
- It freely proffers products and services.
- It uses a customer-friendly interface.
- It scales easily from small to large.
- It exploits its affiliate's products and resources.
- It uses existing communication systems.
- It utilizes universal behaviors and mentalities.
Much of its marketing is subliminal or indirect – it does not run $1 million dollar ads during Super Bowls nor post flyers in mall marketplaces. Amazon.com relies on wily online ploys, strong partner relations and a constant declaration of quality to market itself to the masses.
Pay Per Click Advertising
Independent Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising has been the black sheep of Amazon.com's marketing campaign. Their first PPC campaign attempt, spawned by their subsidiary company A9, was the mediocre Clickriver, a middling PPC program that kept its head above water but certainly swam no great channels. ProductAds replaced Clickriver in August, 2008. It allows any web merchant to purchase PPC ads on Amazon.com's website, leading some pundits to sardonically comment about Amazon.com's possible pursuit of Google's web browsing crown.
Despite its potential interest in Google's regime, Amazon.com continues to purchase PPC advertisements on Google to direct browsing customers to their websites. It buys space on the left side of Google's search listing results, and pays a fee for each visitor to Amazon.com who clicks on their sponsored link. This is typical of Amazon.com's marketing strategy. No big banners, loud colors, or pristine men casually conversing about Amazon.com on America's tube – just a demure advertisement on a web page which, incidentally, may wordlessly lead thousands to Amazon.com

Centre for Women's Development and Research Education to Empower 500 Women and Adolescent Girls Update- November 2014
We have been continuing our activities among women and adolescent girls.
Education and income generation programme for women: The important thing happened is the 20 women who had initiated the vermi-compost making unit had collected the vermin-compost from their units. They are all very happy about that. Each women could able to get 5-10 kilograms of vermin-compost. This compost was distributed free among other women in their villages and nearby villages to motivate other women to involve in vermin-compost making. Another thing happened was 10 beekeeping units was distributed among women and 4 could able to maintain it and collect honey. All these are giving hope for the women and us. Now in the women's meetings we are discussing the possibilities of initiating a producers company so that they can market their products and also provide support for women involved in kitchen gardens. The women have made plans to visit some producers company, but the nearst successful companies are in Kerala State, so they have postponed the visit for future. Now women want to expand their kitchen gardens so that they can produce more and sell to raise their income. We are also looking for some market agencies in Chennai to help us in this regard. We have organized regular village level women's meeting during this period particularly to discuss about the producers company and the registration process. 20-25 women participated in these village meetings and we have organized these meetings in 21 villages. During this period we have also participated in the Joy of Giving event to raise funds. We have set up stalls in a IT(Information Technology) company complex. There we could able sell the handmade soaps made by rural women.
Computer skill training and life skill training for adolescent girls: We are continuing the computer skill training and weekend life skill trainings for adolescent girls. During this period an intern Ms.Bavana from Chirist University organized career guidance and spoken English classes for adolescent girls. 48 girls participated in these programmes. We have also started using Educational DVDs particularly for 10th and 12th Standard students. We found it very useful because in rural areas it is difficult to get tutors in Maths, English for high school students. We wish to strengthen this programme. In the weekend life skill education programme 200 girls participated. As mentioned in our earlier reports now all the girls are continuing their education. Rarely girls discontinue their education after puberty. Their mothers understand the importance of education. It is really encouraging for us because earlier we used to run non-formal education centres for school dropout children now we have closed all the centres because all the children are going to schools.
Centre for Women's Development and ResearchEducation to Empower 500 Women and Adolescent Girls Update- August 2014Last three months is an important period for us and India, a new BJP party government was formed, after a long time a single with majority had come, people voted for change and stability. We have to wait and see how it is going to affect poor people. In Tamilnadu the ruling party AIADMK had won 37 seats out of 39 seats. It is also summer holidays, examinations results for adolescent girls, all these happenings kept us busy during the last 3 months. All the girls who are part of 'Snehidhi' adolescent girls association have passed their examinations, particularly those appeared for their 10th standard and 12th standard board examinations. Ms.Neeharika Tummala, a representative from GlobalGiving visited the villages where we work on 4th July 2014. It was encouraging for us. Ms.Neha GlobalGiving visits our villageComputer skill training and life skill training for adolescent girls: During this period we got 4 computers from CTS-Cognizant Technology Solutions and that helped us to continue our computer skill training, earlier because most of the computers were out of order we could not provide computer skill training. During this period 32 girls were given computer skill training, out of that 6 girls were also completed the online retails management course provided by Brisscc. We are also happy that all the girls have passed their examinations and continuing their education, no drop outs. Parents particularly mothers were very happy about that, this year 5 girls have applied for colleges, that is far away from their villages. We have been also continuing our life skill and sexuality education follow up weekend trainings. 120 girls and 30 boys participated in these programmes. Since it is holidays for the adolescents we have organized 10 days community development programmes and 10 days street plays and folk arts programme. 48 girls benefitted from this programme. We have also organized 2 days bio-farming methods for adolescent girls and 24 girls participated in this programme. Adolescent girls meetingEducation and income generation programme for women: We are regularly organizing village level meetings and training for women. In the rural area the kitchen garden programme become popular and women are actively involved in that. Nearly 500 families have kitchen gardens in our working villages. Now we are discussing the possibilities of increasing the area and yield so that they can sell their produce to earn some income. For that we are also discussing about forming a Producers company with women as shareholders. In collaboration with Madras Christian College, Bio-technology department we have organized 2 days vermin-composte making training and 80 women participated in that programme. Out of that 20 women were given help to set up the vermin-compost units, once the compost is produced they can sell it in the market, actually Madras Christian College is willing to buy back. We are also continuing our dress making training for women 20 women benefitted from this programme. Our handmade soap unit is also picking up, we could able to sell the soaps to the villagers, even though we are making any profit, marketing it in the local market gives us hope to increase the production and market it. 5 women will benefit from this programme. Ms.Sareswathidevi in her kitchen gardenSareswathidevi is a single woman, Widow. She is 48 years old, she is from Karnataka state and married and came to her husband's home in Othiyur village, Tamilnadu. Her husband died in an accident, 8 years ago. She has 2 daughters and 2 sons. After the death of her husband she was sent out of her husband's home and her husband's brother took all the family property. Her elder son had completed his higher secondary school and going for some odd jobs, the youngest son is studying in 9th standard. Her elder daughter is studying 1st year B.B.A, her younger daughter is studying in 11th standard, both of them 'Snehidhi' members and also received some financial support like Rs.1000 per year for their studies. Sareswathidevi is an active member of our local level single women's group 'Maithri'. She borrowed Rs.2000 to buy some hens, after attending the kitchen garden training she also created a kitchen garden. She could able to provide good education to her children
Centre for Women's Development and Research Education to Empower 500 Women and Adolescent Girls Update- May 2014Last 3 months is an important period for us and the people. For adolescent girls it is annual examination time, for people it is parliamentary elections time. All these kept us very busy during the last 3 months. We have also received support from Cognizant Discover to buy 4 new computers for our computer skill training. So we could able to give computer skill trainings for adolescent girls during this summer holidays. Computer skill Training for adolescent gilrsLife skill and sexuality education for adolescents: Since it was examination time most of the time was spent on providing supplementary education for adolescent girls, particularly 10th and 12th standard students. We have also started using the computers and DVDs to educate them particularly for Mathematics and Science subjects. It is really encouraging for us because one of the problem we always face in rural areas is not getting the resource people to conduct these classes and DVDs were of great support for girls. 54 adolescent girls benefitted from this programme. We also have been continuing our life skill and sexuality education for adolescent girls and boys. These programmes are organized during weekends. Nearly 140 girls and 45 boys participated in these progrmmes. We have also organized Lifeskill and sexuality education classes in 2 schools and nearly 300 girls and boys benefitted from this programme. In addition to that we have also organized 2 days training on Kitchen garden raising for adolescent girls. 48 adolescent girls participated in this programme. Many of them also crated kitchen gardens in their homes or helped their mothers in maintaining the kitchen gardens. Some of the girls who are aged 18 years are going to vote for the first time, so we have oriented a one day programme on Voting elections and parliament system 60 girls participated in this programme. As a trail In collaboration with BRISC international, a Canada based online training organization we have provided Retail salesmanship online training for 5 girls and they successfully completed it and certificates were distributed to them. In Future we want to expand this programme to other girls and boys. Kitchen garden training Girls with online course CertificatesEducation and income generation programme for women: During this period the focus of meetings and trainings were the parliament elections that was held during 24th April 2014. From the discussions and meetings the women's group had collected all the demands of them and it was printed as a booklet and was given to the party candidates when they visited the villages for vote canvassing. Women told the candidates that if they vote only if they promise to fulfill their demands. Some of the demands were: - To support women's reservation bill in the parliament - To create detailed action-plan to implement laws to end violence against women, and allocate enough funds for its implementation.- To provide reservations for single women in all women's development schemes.- To create policies for the development of single women. - To ensure dignified, remunerative employment for women, pay equal pay for equal work, provide crèches, toilet, and drinking water facilities.- To provide free quality education for all children upto the age of 18 years.It was rich learning experience for the women and for us. Vermi-composte making training In addition to that we have also organize 2 oneday training programme on Bio-kitchen gardening, they also learned vermin-compost making and bee keeping. 62 women participated in those programmes. We are also continuing our tailoring and dress making trainings, 24 women participated in these trainings.
Centre for Women's Development and Research Education to Empower 500 Women and Adolescent Girls Update- February 2014 During the last 3 month the year 2013 ended and 2014 began, lot of things have happened during that period. This project 'Education to empower Women and Adolescent girls was submitted during 2007, the idea was to educate and empower 300 women and 200 girls. We have exceeded this target; we have helped 500 women and 500 adolescent girls. But still we could not raise the full money we have expected, this had created some constraints in implementing our ideas, like we could not buy computers to continue our computer skill education. Now we could able buy 2 computers with local contribution. Initially we have tried several income generation programmes to help women, finally now we have settled for kitchen gardens. More than 500 have started kitchen gardens in their homes. The community and we are happy to see these tangible results. 15 girls are now going to college, even though it is a small number in the rural area girls mostly do not complete their high school and married early, 15 girls going to college is a big achievement for us. Now we are aiming to help 500 girls to go for university education. That would help them to extend their marriage age. Life skill and sexuality education for adolescents: During this period in addition to our week end life skill and sexuality workshops we also organized a 7 days street theatre and folk art workshop for girls. 25 girls participated in these workshops. After the workshop they performed street plays to educate the people about the importance of girl children's education, elimination of violence against women and girls. We have also organized 2 days leadership training for rural and city girls, 40 girls participated in this programme. Since the parliament election is nearing and most of the girls aged 18 years of age are going to vote for the first time in this elections, the discussions were also on women in politics, Indian parliament system, women' rights were also discussed in this workshop. During this period we also have organized life skill and sexuality education workshops in the 2 schools in our working area, nearly 80 girls and 50 boys participated in this workshop. Adolescents were also actively participating in our kitchen garden programmes. 82 girls with their mothers created kitchen gardens in their homes. In 23 villages the local level 'Snehidhi' adolescent girls members took up the local issues like demanding public toilets, street lights and drinking water facility, met the local panchayath(village council) member and gave memorandums. Priya is one of the very few girls going to college from our work area, she is one of our 'Snehidhi' adolescent girls association member and attended the life skill snd sexuality education programme. In her family all are illiterates. After higher secondary class all the family members wanted her to marry and settled down. Our staff members and other 'Snehidhi' members met her family members and convinced them to allow her to continue her education. She wants to become a teacher, she is travelling 120 kilometers up and down each day the college bus to attend her college at Chengalpu, Vidya Sagar arts and science college. She is doing her second year B.A English Literature D.Priya Education and income generation programme for women: Since kitchen garden programme is become popular among women we are focusing on it. Women just taken the kitchen garden programme easily may be because they already have the skills, they do not have to go out of home, more than that the programme itself is suggested by them. In 23 villages 500 families that is women have created kitchen gardens with our help. They have already harvested the vegetables and fruits grown in the kitchen gardens. They consumed most of the vegetables and fruits and they are really happy about that. They are confident that they can improve the kitchen gardens further so that they can increase the yield and sell the vegetables and fruits to earn some money. Our Village level 'Snehidhi' adolescent girls association is playing an active role in implementing this programme. They motivate their mothers and the community to raise kitchen gardens. They help their mothers in raising kitchen garden. We have distributed seeds and seedlings of Brinjal, chilies, Tomato, ladies finger, drum stick, local variety beans, some herbal plants, papaya, custard apple, mango seedlings. In addition to that women were trained in organic methods of kitchen garden raising, vermicompost making, health education like nutritional values of different vegetables and fruits. During this period 160 women were trained bio-farming methods and backyard poultry, these one day trainings were organized in our centre and after that the follow up trainings were conducted in the villages. Mrs. Manibals is a member of our local level women's organization in Nainarkuppam village, it is fishing village and affected during 2004 Tsunami. She is widow, she has boy studying in 12th standard class. She attended our income generation programmes and also received a small loan. Mrs.Manibala with her cows With that loan she could able to buy a cow, now she has 3 cows and earns Rs.3000-5000 per month. She has also created a kitchen garden. She is yet to get some income from the kitchen garden, but she is happy to get vegetables from her kitchen garden. She is also happy to give the extra vegetables to the relatives and guests who visit her home.

Education to Empower 500 Women and Adolescent Girls
Update- November 2013
Last 3 months that is from September 2013 we have been involved in local fund raising activities. We have participated in Joy of Giving, Seva Mela and Giveindia programmes. Even though we could not raise much money we could able to meet thousands of people both personally and through emails and explained the problems of women and girl children and also shared our work with them. This is the first time we are involved in such activities and it is a rich experience for us. In addition to fund raising as part of joy of giving week we have also organized a story telling session for the slum children, we also kept a wish tree in a preschool requesting toys and learning materials for the slum children. That is also a good experience for us and the children. The preparation of promotional materials for the events helped us to understand the importance of our work and educating the general public about it. We have also used emails and facebook for the fundraising that is another experience for our staff team.
Our Stall in Seva Mela Fundraising exhibition
Life skill and sexuality education for adolescents: One thing we are happy about is all the girls we are working with are continuing their education; the dropout rate is actually nil. Earlier girls used to drop out once they reach puberty that is when are in 7th or 8th standard, now they continue their education at least up to 10th standard. After that if they fail usually they discontinue their education, if they pass most of them will continue upto 12th standard. After 12th standard most of the rural girls will not continue their education, one of the reasons is that there is no college nearby. Once they leave schools at 16 or 18 years of age, parents usually start thinking about their marriage and finish it soon. We want the girls to marry after 21 years, so one of the things we wish to do is help these girls to continue their education up to degree level, that is another 3 years after 12 standard. So we have initiated a new project 'G2G-Girls to Graduates' and in all our local fund raising activities we promoted this project. Now in our life skill and sexuality education activities we have also included supplementary education for high school girls, so they pass their high school and higher secondary examinations and continue their education upto 21 years of age. We are continuing our weekend life skill and sexuality education and 208 girls benefitted from it. In the urban centre we could able to get an volunteer to conduct spoken English classes and 23 girls are attending this evening course.
Sexuality Education Class in School conducted by our Staff
We have also organized two sexuality education workshops in 2 schools and nearly 200 girl students benefitted from these programmes. In addition to that we have also organised 2 gender sensitization workshops for boys one in the rural area and one in urban area, 78 boys participated in these workshops. The rural boys have suggested organise some sports events/tournaments for boys so that many boys will join the 'Nanban' adolescent boys association. So we are planning to organize some sports events during school holidays that are December or May months.
Education and income generation programme for women: During this period Dr.Josphine from Christian College Chennai conducted 2 workshops on Bio-farming and livelihood sources for women. 78 women have participated in these workshops. They have planned to initiate vermi-composte making as a commercial activity and sell vermin-compost to earn additional income. 10 women also attended worshops on backyard poultry, kitchen garden raising organized by the Tamilnadu Agricultural University extension centre. In addition to that our staff members are conducting regular meetings in the villages. They also monitor the kitchen gardens raised by women and provide seeds, seedlings and suggestions. Since women have already harvested vegetables 2-3 times they are happy and want further help. We are also motivating them to expand the area so that they can produce more and sell the vegetables. We are also motivating them to have backyard poultry, or rear goats or cows. But these activities need more investment they are requesting us for help to build chicken houses or to buy goats and cows. We are looking for ways of getting some loans for them.
Village level Women's Meeting
We have also organised three meetings for women to discuss about the producers company idea, 125 women participated in that meeting. We are planning visit some successful producers company to understand it further. The hand made soap making unit is also continuing their activity. During fund raising activities we could able to sell lot of our handmade soaps. It was encouraging for us and the women who are involved in making it. Because of this idea of selling soaps in exhibitions and fund raising activities we have organized one more workshop on handmade soap making and 16 women participated in that.
In general it was an important period for us, we could able to learn a lot about local fund raising, we could also able to continue our work boys. Our staff members also attended training programmes organized by other organizations.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|Tanakh and
Old Testament
|Tanakh and
Old Testament
The Book of Ruth (Hebrew: מגילת רות, Ashkenazi pronunciation: [məˈɡɪləs rus], Megilath Ruth, "the Scroll of Ruth", one of the Five Megillot) is a book of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. In the Hebrew Bible it is included in the third division, or the Writings (Ketuvim); in the Christian canon it is treated as a history book and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.[1] It is named after its central figure, Ruth a resident of the land of Moab, the great-grandmother of David, and, according to the Gospel of Matthew, an ancestress of Jesus.
The book tells of Ruth's accepting the God of the Israelites as her God and the Israelite people as her own. In Ruth 1:16 and 17 Ruth tells Naomi, her Israelite mother in law, "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me." The book is held in esteem by Jews who fall under the category of Jews-by-choice, as is evidenced by the considerable presence of Boaz in rabbinic literature. As well, the "Book of Ruth" functions liturgically, being read during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot ("Weeks").[2]
The book is traditionally ascribed to the prophet Samuel, but does not name its author.[3] A date during the monarchy is suggested by the book's interest in the ancestry of David, but Ruth's identity as a non-Israelite and the stress on the need for an inclusive attitude towards foreigners suggests an origin in the fifth century BCE, when intermarriage had become controversial (as seen in Ezra 9:1 and Nehemiah 13:1).[4]
The book is structured in four chapters:[5]
Act 1: Prologue and Problem: Death and Emptiness (1:1–22)
Act 2: Ruth Meets Boaz, Naomi's Relative, on the Harvest Field (2:1–23)
Act 3: Naomi Sends Ruth to Boaz on the Threshing Floor (3:1–18)
Act 4: Resolution and Epilogue: Life and Fullness (4:1–22)
Genealogical appendix (4:18–22)
The book is traditionally ascribed to the prophet Samuel, but this "cannot be correct",[6] and a substantial number of scholars date it to the Persian period (6th–4th centuries BC).[7] The final genealogy linking Ruth to David is believed to be a post-exilic Priestly addition, as it adds nothing to the plot; nevertheless, it is carefully crafted and integrates the book into the history of Israel that runs from Genesis to Kings.[8]
The book can be read as a political parable relating to issues around the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (the 4th century BCE).[5] The fictional nature of the story is established from the start through the names of the participants: the husband and father is Elimelech, meaning "My God is King", and his wife is Naomi, "Pleasing", but after the deaths of her sons Mahlon, "Sickness", and Chilion, "Wasting", she asks to be called Mara, "Bitter".[5] The reference to Moab raises questions, since in the rest of the biblical literature it is associated with hostility to Israel, sexual perversity, and idolatry, and Deuteronomy 23:3–6 excluded an Ammonite or a Moabite from "the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation".[5] Despite this, Ruth the Moabitess married a Judahite and even after his death still regarded herself a member of his family; she then married another Judahite and bare him a son who became an ancestor of David.[9] Contrary to the message of Ezra-Nehemiah, where marriages between Jewish men and non-Jewish women were broken up, Ruth teaches that foreigners who convert to Judaism can become good Jews, foreign wives can become exemplary followers of Jewish law, and there is no reason to exclude them or their offspring from the community.[9]
Hesed, "loving kindness", and implying loyalty, is woven throughout Ruth, beginning at 1:8 with Naomi blessing her two daughters-in-law as she urges them to return to their Moabite families. She says, "May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me." Both Ruth and Boaz demonstrate hesed to their family members throughout the story. These are not acts of kindness with an expectation of measure for measure. Rather, they are acts of hesed that go beyond measure and demonstrate that a person can go beyond the minimum expectations of the law and choose the unexpected. However, the importance of the law is evident within the Book of Ruth, and the story reflects a need to stay within legal boundaries. Boaz, in going beyond measure in acquiring the property (demonstrating hesed), redeems not only the land but both Naomi and Ruth as well. The two widows now have a secure and protected future.

My Story
I spent over 20 years selling Real Estate, not because it was my passion, but because of the income it generated. However, it left me feeling unfulfilled. I felt like an imposter, and I wasn't following my heart. After doing some soul searching, I discovered my purpose and started back to graduate school to pursue a career in Counseling Psychology.
Starting my private Counseling practice in 2008 was an exciting step for me. By then I had worked in a mental health agency for several years, and while I knew how to work with mental illness, I realized that I wanted to move into the field of personal empowerment.
In 2010 I began intensive study with renowned Coaches and Business Trainers from around the country (the best of the best!) I discovered how I can help my clients in a bigger way. I have moved into Coaching because I want to help my clients in a directive, action-focused way. I don't want my clients to struggle with "not enough clients" and "not enough income" one more day, and Coaching helps them get RESULTS quickly.
Switching over to Coaching was the best decision I ever made (not only for me, but for my clients, because now they are truly getting the Transformation in their businesses that they have yearned for, perhaps for years).
My clients see results right from the start. They're using their passion and purpose to create thriving and lucrative careers. I love helping them with the business steps, the "How To's", to make their business grow. This is my primary focus with my clients. I help them transform their business into the success they dream about, to make that their new reality.
I understand your struggles and desires, because I've been there. I have become an advocate and a coach, to inspire you and lead you into FULFILLMENT AND SUCCESS in your Career. Are you ready to do whatever it takes to Make Real Money Doing What You Love?

Lincoln Center Q&A with 'Willow Creek' Writer/Director Bobcat Goldthwait
On November 6, I had the opportunity to attend a special screening of Bobcat Goldthwait's found footage Bigfoot movie Willow Creek at Lincoln Center with Goldthwait in attendance. Goldthwait introduced the film by joking about the name of the The Film Society of Lincoln Center's movie series, Scary Movies 7, by wondering if the Wayans Brothers were there. He also pointed out that Willow Creek was of the "dreaded" found footage genre and said that he was not a fan of the genre, saying, "I always wonder who found the footage and why they turned a family's horrorific murder on camera into a movie."
After the screening (you can read my review here), Goldthwait did a hilarious Q&A session with the audience. Goldthwait hysterically recounted some of the trials and tribulations of filming with the seven-person crew. Below are some of the highlights, but I've left out parts of the Q&A that would spoil the movie. Suffice to say I strongly recommend seeing it when it released in your area (and I'm not a fan of found footage horror films, so I'm not lying when I say I was impressed.)
Goldthwait mentioned that the film was shot in the middle of the woods not far from where the famous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage was actually shot. After seeing much wildlife in the area — including two mountain lions — he revealed that the cast was unsettled by shooting the horror scenes at night. Goldthwait said, "We did that tent scene three times — it's a nineteen minute take. In the first one Bryce (Johnson), who plays Jim, started crying during the take. I said to him, 'I don't really think your character would cry,' and he goes, 'My character's not crying, I'm crying. I don't think we need to be out here filming this scene. It's inside a tent, we could do that in a parking lot at a hotel! There's no reason for this!'" He also confessed that he did some of the unsettling wildlife vocalizations himself and demonstrated them for the audience. He thought it would be ironic if during filming the cast had been attacked by a wild animal — particularly a bobcat, so headlines could be "Bobcat Attacked by Bobcat!"
He later added, "I was really into this movie. I was really so happy and kind of nuts. I mean, I was just so excited and the actors who I love dearly didn't trust me after a while because I'd be like, 'Where was the mountain lion?' and they'd say, 'Up to the left' and I'd say, 'Let's film to the right!' And they'd say, 'Why don't we just go?'"
Upon being asked why the first thirty minutes of the film is comedic character development, Goldthwait replied, "I just felt that often in these kind of movies you don't invest in the characters, so it was important to me that we spend a while trying to make this really feel like a real-life couple." He revealed that while a lot of the film was improvised by the actors, "Some of it is me hiding behind a tree going, 'Ask him how…'"
When asked how filming the movie differed from directing his previous comedy films, Goldthwait answered, "It was different because this was a big departure for me. Normally everything is scripted, so it was a bigger departure there. One of the challenges for myself was that I was wondering if I could do a movie that was more an ad-libbed movie. There was a thirty page outline. I feel as a guy who gets to make movies I've never been really good at creating suspense, so I wanted to see if I could do what people like Tarantino and David Lynch can do. They will have very little going on and you're really wondering what's going to happen next, so that was what motivated me to make this movie. So there was a real freeing aspect of having such a tiny crew. My movies are all very small, but still you didn't have to drag… you know, mo' money, mo' problems. There's something about making a movie so small that made it easy."
An audience member asked Goldthwait if he watched any found footage movies to prepare for the film. He answered, "I did watch Blair Witch Project, I'm the first one to call this the Blair Squatch Project, but I think a lot of people who do found footage movies have gotten so far away from what actually did work in that movie. But movies that really inspired this movie were actually Grizzly Man, by Werner Herzog. That had a lot to do with this movie. Paper Heart, I know that sounds weird, but they did a hybrid of real interviews with a story."
Another person in the audience asked if he discovered any differences between shooting a comedy film and a horror film, and in his answer Goldthwait recalled a funny story about filming a scene with a raccoon. He said, "It turns out that I think they're really similar. They're both based on the same thing, you say, 'This is how this is' and then there's a curveball. But there was rules about this stuff that I didn't know. After I made the movie I realized that in horror pictures you'll hear a vase break and you whip around and say, 'Oh, it's just the cat,' then something terrible happens, and I realized I didn't have that 'It's just the cat' moment. So we filmed the raccoon scene after the film was made, and that's me in a cage because raccoons cost $4000 to rent in L.A. to act. My daughter found a place that rehabs injured raccoons so we donated some money and they let me climb into the cage with a camera. There's a whip pan and there's an edit during the whip, so I flipped over and put a bunch of dirt on the ground in the cage and put some bushes in there and they let the raccoon out. This is a raccoon that was injured by a human first of all, so he's already kind of dodgy, but he comes running up and just grabbed onto my pants and stood on my leg. Then he started going 'yacka-acka-acka-acka' really quietly and the woman who wouldn't get in the cage with me goes, 'That's a happy sound!' I almost peed a little, that was pretty scary. So I learned that bait-and-switch and stuff, but I did learn that a lot of comedy and horror have almost the same beats, and I didn't realize that."
When asked if he personally believes in Bigfoot, he joked, "I get that question a lot, and I'll say 'Yes,' but then people who know me well will say, 'But you're an atheist!' and I'll go, 'Yeah, but I've actually talked to people who've seen Bigfoot!' I still want to keep the sense of wonder alive and not be so cynical. I don't think I want to live in a world without Bigfoot." He later added that Bigfoot believers have tended to like the movie, pointing out, "Usually a guy in camo will stand up and shout, 'This is the best Bigfoot movie made since the Patterson-Gimlin footage! Right fellas?'"
Finally, Goldthwait ended the Q&A by talking about his upcoming projects. First he mentioned that he doesn't have the desire to act in his own movies anymore and revealed, "I just keep writing all different kinds of screenplays. I wrote another genre picture, I've been trying to do this musical with Ray Davies of The Kinks for a while, and I just finished a new screenplay that's kind of a companion piece to World's Greatest Dad. I just keep trying to make different kinds of movies, like I wrote a gay Western. The genre picture is about zombie fetuses attacking an abortion clinic and it's called Anklebiters. I think what's funny is that people don't have a problem with the fact that we shoot, kill, and maim about seventy fetuses in the movie, people have a problem with the end having a pro-choice message. It's like, 'Well, I don't know, that could get us in trouble!' Like, really? We shoot seventy babies. 'Well, that's commercial, but the political message that's behind it…'"
He ended the Q&A by telling his "favorite story" from the Willow Creek shoot:
"After seeing the mountain lions we were hanging out in the woods. It's about 3AM and the ranger that was with us who I kind of stuck with thinking he'd be my protection, his name is Ranger Robert. He says to me, 'You know, I'm a writer too.' And I said, 'Oh, well, what do you write?' And he goes, 'You know Twilight?' and I go, 'Sure, everyone knows Twilight.' He says, 'I write Twilight-type fiction aimed at tweens set in the Bigfoot community. They're coming of age stories for teenagers set in the Bigfoot world.' And I go, 'Oh, what's the name of your novel?' And he answers, 'The first one is Yeti or Not.' But I didn't laugh because he's the only thing keeping me from being mauled to death by mountain lions."
Thanks to The Film Society of Lincoln Center for inviting Movie Buzzers to this special screening! The Scary Movies 7 series ends on Thursday, November 7. For more information, visit the website here.

Joe Martin Road Race #1 2012
110 miles! The distance seemed almost insurmountable. But Bill and I saddled up, hoping to move him up in GC. The course was a giant loop to the south of Fayetteville, with a headwind going out, and a stiff tailwind going in.
The first 50 miles went by really fast, and I was suprised when I looked a my computer to see that we were getting close to halfway done. This sounds pretty silly, as 50 miles is a pretty good ride in itself! The second half would be much harder though. As soon as we hit the southern-most part of the course, we had a right-left crosswind, and a full peloton ready to make selections. The race split up a lot, and people that couldn't find a draft were shelled off the back. By design, both Bill and I were near the front and were more or less sheltered through this part.
70 miles in, we were about to hit the big 9 mile climb. I knew there was a feed zone at the top so I strategically drank almost all of my water by the base of the climb. As we started to climb, I moved up to near the front with Bill, and focused on conserving energy, careful to not push over my limit. On part of the hill, I felt we started to go a bit too hard, so I SAG climbed, meaning I slowly drifted back through the pack, keeping my power numbers lower than everyone else. This helped a bunch, and as soon as I felt good again, I moved back up to the front.
Then I heard THE SOUND! Pssssssssssh. I looked around, hoping someone else's tire was going flat, but it was not to be. My rear tire was blown. I raised my right hand, signaling the rear flat, and drifted to the back of the pack. Where was the wheel truck??!!! It was not behind us! All I could do was keeping pedaling up the climb with a completely flat rear wheel. This is another great thing about tubulars: you can in a pinch ride them flat. Luckily there was a commisar vehicle behind us, and they yelled at me that the wheel truck was on its way. After about 3 minutes of riding the rim, the wheel truck was behind me. I stopped and quickly got the back wheel off. I looked behind, expecting to see the guys running up with a fresh wheel, but they were still sitting in the cab! After trying to give me a Campy wheel, then a wheel with no skewer, we finally got a wheel that would work. After fumbling with the skewer, I had been standing for 2 minutes getting the wheel change. Finally I was back on the road, but with almost no chance of catching back on.
I can't really complain too much because all these guys are volunteers, but it is a source of frustration. And poor wheel changes have happened to me twice this year! I think that it would be great if the promoters would give the wheel truck volunteers a bit more instruction than "give people wheels." I'm torn though, because the JMSR people are really putting on a great race! Oh well, I'll quit complaining now.
I got the gap to about 30 seconds by the top of the climb, but then I knew that there was no hope. The next 30 miles were downhill and into a tailwind, and the peloton would be going much faster than me. I went as hard as I could sustain by myself, and it helped that I caught a group of about 6 riders that got dropped. By the finish, the main pack had put 12 minutes into me, and I finished in about 4hrs, 45 minutes. Suprisingly, I still moved up 18 spots to 60th on GC!
Bill faired better, staying in the main peloton to finish 4 minutes down on the winner. We thought he would move up on GC, but actually moved down one spot to 31st. In Saturday's 90 miles road race, we will try to be more aggressive and see what happens! Stay tuned!

That's a tough cycle to break, isn't it? Have you tried to undress your little one during the day when he/she is just super sleepy but he shouldn't sleep? How about taking him/her outdoors or try to keep him/her stimulated during those times? I know it is tough but hang in there! It won't last forever, even though it feels like it will. HUGS!

Geno Smith Is Just A System Quarterback?
By Richard Cirminiello
Posted Oct 1, 2012

Richard Cirminiello's Monday Thought: Geno Smith has become football's newest superstar.

By Richard Cirminiello
Geno Smith plays in a great system for quarterbacks. He is not, however, a system quarterback.
The proverbial system quarterback. Hes the guy who piles up video game-like stats on the college level despite having questionable physical ability, at least the way NFL scouts and GMs evaluate physical ability. He flourishes in an attack designed to spread out defenses, speed up the tempo and fill the air with a hailstorm of passes. He is Timmy Chang, Case Keenum, B.J. Symons and countless others whove been disciples of the likes of June Jones, Mike Leach and Hal Mumme. He is not Geno Smith.
Smith has put up staggering numbers through the first four games of 2012. How monstrous? Hes on pace to finish the regular season with 60 touchdown passes and 5,184 yards and no picks. Hes also completing more than 83% of his passes, many of which have been tough throws, out routes and crossing patterns.
There arent a lot of dump-offs in this West Virginia attack. Because Smith is off to a record-breaking start, though, it becomes convenient for casual fans and observers to assume that the senior from Miramar, Fla. in Broward County is nothing more than a watered-down product of his system. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Those who viewed more than just the Mountaineers box score on Saturday got a glimpse of what Smith is all about. The numbers are sterling. But the film is even better. Hes a legitimate next-level passer who might go on to challenge everyone at his position, including USCs Matt Barkley, for top billing at Aprils NFL Draft. Smith is well-sized, has a great feel for the pocket and throws the best ball of anyone at this level. And the competition may not even be close.
His receivers, especially Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, are loaded with talent, but Smith makes the job of those around him so much easier by delicately dropping the ball into their hands. His precision, accuracy and timing are impeccable. His release is quick, and his decision-making is improving.
I spent time with West Virginia AD Oliver Luck in the spring. When the subject of his programs quarterback came up, he raved about the maturation of Smith in Morgantown, not just as a passer, but also as a student of the game. Luck described No. 12 as one of the smartest and most mature young quarterbacks hed been around.
They were words of high praise from a man whose own son was the top overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. He went on to say that Smith is a highly cerebral athlete wholl get better as he spends more time learning from inventive head coach Dana Holgorsen. The dividends from that relationship have really begun to bear fruit for both sides this season.
Dont downplay or dismiss Geno Smith because he strafed the Baylor D for a record-setting eight touchdowns and 656 yards on 45-of-51 passing this past weekend. Hes just Dont downplay or dismiss Geno Smith because he strafed the Baylor D for a record-setting eight touchdowns and 656 yards on 45-of-51 passing this past weekend.

Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
All that talk of Peeta vs. Gale and who's hotter and who should Katniss pick and blah blah blah -- we seem to have forgotten about another sexy guy from the cast of 'The Hunger Games': Alexander Ludwig.
When you look at 21-year-old actor Logan Lerman, it's hard not to have Michael Jackson's 'Pretty Young Thing' pop into your head. (Go ahead. Try it. We'll wait right here.)
British actor Tom Hiddleston -- you probably know him best as Loki, Thor's brother and enemy in 'Thor' and 'The Avengers' -- is giving us a very sexy reason to watch comic book movies with his classy good looks from the other side of the pond.
At today's 'Breaking Bad' panel at Comic-Con 2013, showrunner Vince Gilligan and the cast debuted some footage from the upcoming final season premiere, and while we don't have that to show you, we do have another video they showed at the panel -- a new trailer that takes you through the previous seasons with some of the most memorable moments, all leading up to the season 5 premiere on August 11.
If you weren't able to attend Comic-Con 2013 this weekend (or if you were there and didn't make it to Hall H on Saturday), you can now view the entire Marvel panel online and catch everything you missed, including 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and the announcement of 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron.'
During yesterday's panel for 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' at Comic-Con 2013, we got our very first look at the new Caesar, played by Andy Serkis. Much has changed for Caesar since the first film -- he's now leading his very own army of primates, bent on world domination. And now we can share a new image of Caesar with you.
Hot on the heels of their panel presentations in Hall H today at Comic-Con 2013, Marvel has unveiled new logos and concept art for 'Thor: The Dark World,' 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron,' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'
Season 6 of 'True Blood' on HBO is in full-swing, and at today's panel at Comic-Con 2013, showrunner Brian Buckner premiered a new teaser trailer for the back-half of the season, promising some heavy drama, heavier action, and plenty of fang-banging, wacky times.
Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were on hand to debut the first official trailer for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' at their Comic-Con 2013 panel, and this peek at Katniss and Peeta as they continue their dangerous adventure sure is making us hungry for the film's release this fall.
In anticipation of this afternoon's 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' panel at Comic-Con 2013, Twentieth Century Fox has revealed a new viral (pun intended) website for the film, which warns against the dangers of the Simian Flu -- a disease that, in the fictional world of the 'Apes' films, has now spread to 8.7 million people, making it pretty easy for those apes to take over the world.
And here we were just counting our blessings that we get a new 'Godzilla' movie, featuring the legendary giant, stomping lizard monster. But as we learned at the 'Godzilla' Comic-Con panel today, we're getting multiple monsters for the price of one -- and one monster in particular will look very familiar to fans of the classic films.

From the "pretty cool" file: a new "augmented reality" browser called Layar developed by a Dutch company called SPRXmobile. Here's how it works:
Layar is derived from location based services and works on mobile phones that include a camera, GPS and a compass. Layar is first avaliable for handsets with the Android operating system (the G1 and HTC Magic). It works as follows: Starting up the Layar application automatically activates the camera. The embedded GPS automatically knows the location of the phone and the compass determines in which direction the phone is facing. Each partner provides a set of location coordinates with relevant information which forms a digital layer. By tapping the side of the screen the user easily switches between layers. This makes Layar a new type of browser which combines digital and reality, which offers an augmented view of the world.
An iPhone version is reportedly in development. One thinks immediately of Google Street View and how that might evolve into a true "geobrowser" along these lines in the future. There are many different use cases one can imagine easily. Of course the data have to be there and accurate for the experience to be as impressive and useful as it has the potential to be.
What it also illustrates is that there are going to be many other "search" modalities on mobile phones than the conventional search field. Here's Layar in operation (click the image for the YouTube video):

In this elegant new book, Salvatore Settis traces the ways in which we have related to our 'classical' past, starting with post-modern American skyscrapers and working his way back through our cultural history to the attitudes of the Greeks and Romans themselves.
Settis argues that this obsession with cultural decay, ruins and a 'classical' past is specifically European and the product of a collective cultural trauma following the collapse of the Roman Empire. This situation differed from that of the Aztec and Inca empires whose collapse was more sudden and more complete, and from the Chinese Empire which always enjoyed a high degree of continuity. He demonstrates how the idea of the 'classical' has changed over the centuries through an unrelenting decay of 'classicism' and its equally unrelenting rebirth in an altered form.
In the Modern Era this emulation of the 'ancients' by the 'moderns' was accompanied by new trends: the increasing belief that the former had now been surpassed by the latter, and an increasing preference for the Greek over the Roman. These conflicting interpretations were as much about the future as they were about the past. No civilization can invent itself if it does not have other societies in other times and other places to act as benchmarks.
Settis argues that we will be better equipped to mould new generations for the future once we understand that the 'classical' is not a dead culture we inherited and for which we can take no credit, but something startling that has to be re-created every day and is a powerful spur to understanding the 'other'.
* Exam copies only available to lecturers for whom the book may be suitable as a course text.

James Porter, Journal of Roman Studies
"A thought-provoking and very readable book, especially in light of the recent debate regarding the future of the Ancient History A-Level."
Anastasia Bakogianni, Journal of Classics Teaching
"This is a terrific book – the fundamental statement we have long been hoping for, that confronts the European Classical heritage with the full complexity of its resonance in the age of globalization and postmodernity. It is brief, punchy and bright – very learned, but wearing its learning lightly, engaged, committed, always enthusiastic. Settis writes as a great authority immersed in the living Classical tradition, yet very sensitive to its swathe of receptions (art historical, architectural, poetic and historiographic, as well as literary). He leads us through a dazzling and hugely stimulating confrontation with the deep pasts and the futures of the Western tradition."
John Elsner, University of Oxford
"Salvatore Settis seeks a contemporary answer to Arnaldo Momigliano's question: why study ancient history? In this dynamic and urgent series of chapters, Settis considers the classical in a global setting. European culture is seen to be demarcated by its rhythmic returns to classical civilization as an "elsewhere" of both time and space. Settis places classicism under scrutiny as a cultural project, rather than revering it as an icon, and argues that, through the classical, myth is absorbed into history. The deep tradition of cycles of death and rebirth unique to European history offers rich opportunities for viewing the past as alien, and therefore capable of providing a wider understanding of "otherness." This provocative text takes nothing for granted."

Intel Core i7-4550U
The Intel Core i7-4550U is an ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for ultrabooks launched in Q2 2013. It is based on the Haswell architecture and is manufactured in 22nm. Due to Hyper-Threading, the two cores can handle up to four threads in parallel, leading to better utilization of the CPU. Each core offers a base speed of 1.5 GHz, but can dynamically increase clock rates with Turbo Boost up to 3.0 GHz for 1 active core or 2.7 GHz for 2 active cores.
Haswell is the successor to the Ivy Bridge architecture with improvements on both GPU and CPU performance. The CPUs are produced in 22nm and offer an optimized branch prediction as well as additional execution ports, improving the performance per clock by almost 10 percent. Furthermore, new features like AVX2 and FMA should increase the performance in future applications.
The performance of the Core i7-4550U is similar to the old and slightly higher clocked Core i7-3537U. However, when using new instruction sets such as AVX2 the performance can be significantly better. Thus, the CPU has sufficient power for office and multimedia purposes as well as more demanding applications.
The integrated HD Graphics 5000 offers 40 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at 200 - 1100 MHz with Turbo Boost, making it significantly faster than the HD Graphics 4000. As a result, the HD 5000 competes with dedicated lower mid-range graphics cards.
The i7-4550U is rated at a TDP of 15 W including the graphics card, memory controller, VRMs and the integrated chipset. Therefore, the CPU is suited for small ultrabooks 11-inches or greater.

Dr. Donald P. Mebust's Ratings
I went to the ER with a kidney infection. Dr. Mebust was VERY nice, even though his staff were terrible (the nurse who was assigned to me completely ignored me after hooking me up to the IV, so much so that I had to ask random people to get her attention every hour or two). Anyway, I thought Dr. Mebust was great. He was very helpful, in the brief moments he talked to me. However, I understand my problem was minor compared to other people's so I didn't expect him to give me a lot of attention and time. For an ER doctor, I highly recommend. However, I sure hope someone fires that nurse.
