Back in December 2010, Google unveiled an online tool for analyzing the history of language and culture as reflected in the gargantuan corpus of historical texts that have been scanned and digitized as part of the Google Books project. They called the interface the Ngram Viewer, and it was launched in conjunction with a blockbuster paper in the journal Science that baptized this Big Data approach to historical analysis with the label "culturomics."
The appeal of the Ngram Viewer was immediately obvious to scholars in the digital humanities, linguistics, and lexicography, but it wasn't just specialists who got pleasure out of generating graphs showing how key words and phrases have waxed and waned over the past few centuries. Here at The Atlantic, Alexis Madrigal collected a raft of great examples submitted by readers, some of whom pitted "vampire" against "zombie," "liberty" against "freedom," and "apocalypse" against "utopia." A Tumblr feed brought together dozens more telling graphs. If nothing else, playing with Ngrams became a time suck of epic proportions.
As of today, the Ngram Viewer just got a whole lot better. For starters, the text corpus, already mind-bogglingly big, has become much bigger: The new edition extracts data from more than eight million out of the 20 million books that Google has scanned. That represents about six percent of all books ever published, according to Google's estimate. The English portion alone contains about half a trillion words, and seven other languages are represented: Spanish, French, German, Russian, Italian, Chinese, and Hebrew.
The Google team, led by engineering manager Jon Orwant, has also fixed a great deal of the faulty metadata that marred the original release. For instance, searching for modern-day brand names -- like Microsoft or, well, Google -- previously revealed weird, spurious bumps of usage around the turn of the 20th century, but those bumps have now been smoothed over thanks to more reliable dating of books.
While these improvements in quanitity and quality are welcome, the most exciting change for the linguistically inclined is that all the words in the Ngram Corpus have now been tagged according to their parts of speech, and these tags can also be searched for in the interface. This kind of grammatical annotation greatly enhances the utility of the corpus for language researchers. Doing part-of-speech tagging on hundreds of billions of words in eight different languages is an impressive achievement in the field of natural language processing, and it's hard to imagine such a Herculean task being undertaken anywhere other than Google. Slav Petrov and Yuri Lin of Google's NLP group worked with a universal tagset of twelve parts of speech that could work across different languages, and then applied those tags to parse the entire corpus. (The nitty-gritty of the annotation project is described in this paper.)
A final enhancement of the Ngram Viewer is a set of mathematical operators allowing you to add, subtract, multiply, and divide the counts of Ngrams. (An "Ngram," by the way, typically hyphenated as n-gram, is a sequence of n consecutive words appearing in a text. For Google's Ngram Corpus, n can range from 1 to 5, so the maximum string that can be analyzed is five words long. The "5-grams" in A Tale of Two Cities would include "It was the best of," "was the best of times," and so forth. That keeps the datasets from spinning out of control, and it's also handy for guaranteeing that the data extracted from the scanned books doesn't run afoul of copyright considerations, a continuing legal headache for Google.)
Orwant, in introducing the new version on the Google blog, reckoned that these new advanced features will be of primary interest to lexicographers. "But then again," Orwant writes, "that's what we thought about Ngram Viewer 1.0," which he says has been used more than 45 million times since it was launched nearly two years ago. I was given early access to the new version, and after playing with it for a few days I can see how the part-of-speech tags and mathematical operators could appeal to dabblers as well as hard-core researchers (who can download the raw data to pursue even more sophisticated analyses beyond the pretty graphs).

Great deal on a great bed!
Vanessa from Lincoln, NE– Verified Buyer
Our toddler transitioned from her crib right to this bed, and we were worried it would be a hard change for her. Well, she took one look at her new "big girl" bed and never even wanted to go back to her crib! This is a sturdy, beautiful bed that we can tell will last for years.
Annette from Arlington, VA– Verified Buyer
The instructions could include a right and wrong side label. I had 2 pieces of wood left over and don't know what they are for. They don't seem to make any difference to the bed.
good deal
Emily from Dubuque, IA– Verified Buyer
It's not the highest quality. I don't think it's worth full price but I purchased it on sale which I think was a better price for the quality. It's good for kids.
good product
Fernando from Garland, TX– Verified Buyer
came in perfect condition, assembly was relatively easy. shipment was within the scheduled
great bed for my little girl
Lisa from Ontario Canada– Verified Buyer
I bought this bed for my three year old who was moving out of her toddler bed. It was easy to assemble, and looks great in her room. The drawers underneath are pretty stiff, but I think they can be easily fixed by adding rollers or something. (we use them to store clothing she's grown out of, so they don't get opened often.)
Excellent for my 4 year old daughter
Ronda S from White Plains, MD– Verified Buyer
I bought bed for my daughter's room which is small. It fits perfect! She loves it. Wasn't able to use the headboard but keeping it for future use when she gets a bigger room. Definitely worth the price! I was able to put together myself...over two days. I painted drawer knobs white as the wood did not fit with room decor. Overall, great bed!
my daughter loves it, price is right!!
Big Al from Montreal,Canada– Verified Buyer
I certainly recommend for the low price and I got it in just 1 week... instructions are very easy and is quite simple... there was one spot that I had to do more holes since they were off by an Inch and a 1/2... If you have a drill and a bit that does that size hole you are good to go!
Good Choice
Tom from Wyoming
The bed is perfect. My daughter loves it. Was easily assembled in a few hours.
Nice quality for the price
Bert from Pomona, CA– Verified Buyer
Very nice quality for the price; easy assembly. [...]
I can dig it.

How to enable email sync on Samsung Galaxy S3
Monday 19th of November 2012
Hello all,Ok - this is really mind boggling and as such I decided to make an account and ask all you experts about it. I used to have an HTC Thunderbold and with its very poor battery, I had set my 5 emails to synch manually. So, whenever I felt like it, I would just go to settings and click on sync all. Yesterday I got my Galaxy S3. I rooted it right away, and then plugged in all my email accounts. 5 accounts - 3 gmail, 1 yahoo, and 1 private. I set them up all under the stock app, because I don't like the gmail app and I don't want to download any other apps. That's how I had them set up with my Thunderbolt too. Now, with the Galaxy S3, the battery is better, so I have set it to check for new emails/sync every few minutes during peak hours and every hour during off-peak hours. But I am just wasting time here - let me just get to the problem: If I go to Settings -> Email (under Accounts), then all my email accounts are there but the little "loading circles" are greyed out and they all say "Sync disabled". I have a screenshot that I wanted to post but as a new

How to get email permanently on the phone?
Monday 04th of October 2010
I set up email as soon as I got the phone to my roadrunner account (pop-server), everything O.K.This weekend I logged on to roadrunner via computer downloaded all email to outlook and deleted the mail from the server. (I store all emails locally and not on the email server as they have limits and I do not, just to answer why)Now when I went to the phone all my email was gone from the inbox. It looks like the phone actually synchs to the server and does not store a copy of the email locally. Strange as the deleted emails are still on the phone so they are store locally (what are developers thinking???).Anyway, is there a way, some setting I am missing to store emails locally on the phone?Thanks in advance.

How to sync email accounts on demand? (lengthy description)
Tuesday 13th of September 2011
Ok, here is the problem with the SGS2 after 4 months playing with it. I have four different emails which I use the samsung touchwiz feature to keep track of. Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, and Institution pop3/imap mail. All emails are set on "premium" in the email creation setting (you can see it with the yellow star "P" after your email account. Setting it to premium is better as there are some problems with non-premium syncing options. Should be same for both premium/non-premium but I have no idea why. Premium accounts feature gives the option of pull email where you can set intervals on the device. This feature is neat, but it drains the battery a bit. Since I'm still not on 2.3.4-this is an inherent problem for non-flash models. I'm not sure if the official 2.3.4 is out on Kies yet. In order to sync the email accounts, I need to actually tap the email account, it goes into the account (with the refreshing indicator at the bottom), press the back button to go to my email accounts, then tap another email account. I then need to repeat this for another 3 accounts since

Upper Peninsula Labor-Management Council, Inc.
W577County Road 400, Bark River, MI 49807 906-466-0155
Fall High School Collective Bargaining Workshops Scheduled
This fall the U.P. Labor-Management Council will again partner with local Intermediate School Districts to teach collective bargaining workshops to high school students. The workshops give students the experience of being an employee or a manager in a union workplace by engaging them in the negotiation of mock-collective bargaining agreement. Each student plays the role of "labor" or "management" using the facts of a fictional company and, during the course of one day, must reach a "contract" that is acceptable to both sides. Professionals from both labor and management who work in the collective bargaining arena volunteer to act as "coaches" to guide the students through the process. The exercise introduces students to concepts in economics, politics, history, and labor law, and provides a glimpse into real issues that arise in the world of work.
Approximately 7000 high school students have attended the Council's collective bargaining workshops since the project began in 1988. Many of the students who have participated in the workshop, as well as their teachers and parents, have sent letters of thanks tot he Council for the workshop, some stating that it was one of the best days of the student's high school education.
The workshops, which are attended by high school juniors and seniors, are the Council's way of acquainting young people with the idea of labor-management cooperation. The Council was formed in the 1970s and is still going strong with a membership of labor and management professionals from around the U.P. The goal of the Council is to encourage labor-management cooperation through education and fellowship as a means to foster a strong economy in the Upper Peninsula.
Students who participate in the Council's high school collective bargaining workshop during high school are eligible to apply for a $500 scholarship offered by the Council, in honor of past Council member Gerry Kendziorski.
The Fall 2014 workshop dates are as follows: November 4th (Iron Mountain), November 20th (Hancock), November 25th (Marquette), and December 5th (Escanaba).
For further information and photos of past workshops, please call the Council office at 906-466-0155 or email email@example.com.

At The Ginger Pad, a casual atmosphere blends with the rich aromas of garlic, thai basil, and chili sauce hanging in the air to help guests forget the world outside. Like a suspension bridge made out of udon noodles, the menu connects distant lands through food, laying out delicious examples of Malaysian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisine. Spring rolls or edamame preempt dives into salty-sweet pad thai or korean beef barbecue. Chopsticks can also lift spicy sichuan shrimp to mouths or gently cradle sushi rolls that combine colorful mango and avocado with fresh tobiko, tuna, salmon, and scallops.
Cooks at Gourmet India sling health-conscious, regional Indian recipes that have garnered praise from the Boston Globe. The casual eatery packs its menu with North Indian fare and serves South Indian specials on weekends, representing the subcontinent better than one grain of rice from each state. Each combo meal rounds up two to three servings from a rotating list of entrees, flanking the savory morsels with basmati rice or naan. Combo meals always include at least one vegetarian entree so diners can pick between vegetable-based gobhi aloo, a dish of cauliflower cooked with ginger; the palak paneer, a blend of spinach and homemade cheese; or a platter of cumin seeds arranged into a pleasing, vegetable shape. Meatier fare includes chicken tikka masala, tender poultry cooked in a tomato-cream sauce, and lamb korma with cashews and raisins. Dishes emerge steaming from the kitchen with fresh-cooked flavor, unlike entrees at other eateries that import their fare from India so it typically arrives cold. Combo meal 2 includes one appetizer, which could include either potato-filled samosas or aromatic onion bhaju.
For more than 40 years, Sammy's Deli has satisfied hungry Bostonians with a menu of classic and custom sandwiches made with gourmet meats, cheeses, and toppings. Indulge in a meaty mouth vacation to Italy with the Sicilian, extra-stuffed with prosciutto, sopressata salami, capicola, provolone, roasted peppers, pepper rings, oil, and seasoning on scali bread ($5.95/$6.95). Herbivores and herbivoyeurs will love noshing on the Vermont Veggie, a medley of cheeses, tomatoes, roasted peppers, lettuce, sprouts, olives, onions, Green Mountains, and pickles all swathed in the wrap of your choice ($5.29). Sammy's rotating soup bar boasts six to eight homemade soups ($3.39 for 12 oz., $5.19 for 24 oz.), as well as stews, chili, and chowders ($3.89 for 12 oz., $6.45 for 24 oz.) every day, with variations such as chicken noodle and split pea with ham warming up inner igloos. Contribute to the global extinction of sandwiches with the grub of Sammy's Deli.
The aroma of simmering beef and baking bread wafts out of Stack-a Burger kitchen all day, as chefs prepare fresh, never frozen, burgers, and pile them high with an array of toppings. Alongside Stack-a Burger, diners can also visit Spike's Junkyard Dogs, where 100% all-beef hot dogs are sandwiched into warm, soft french rolls. Beef links are decorated with banana peppers, barbecue sauce, baked beans, and other hearty toppings that test hand strength like a shadow-puppet performance of Hamlet. Customers can indulge in these towering burgers and sauce-slathered dogs, or opt for a more wholesome feast by ordering low-fat veggie dogs, curly fries dunked in cholesterol-free canola oil, and a collection of fresh salads, soups, and paninis.
The chefs at Bombay Club seem to draw their culinary inspiration from nearly every region of India. Behind the bright colors of the dining room, they're hard at work melding equally bright colors into dishes that draw on coastal recipes or the flavors of North and South provinces. One of their specialties is chaat, or casual street foods, especially vegetable curry served on a bun and samosas that come with zesty chutney. The main menu, though, highlights a rainbow of entrees ranging from chicken or goat curries and stews simmered with garlic and spices to tandoor clay oven-baked dishes featuring paneer, lamb chops, or fish. In true Indian fashion, many of the restaurant's dishes are vegetarian, and some are even vegan.
For centuries, the long arm of The Mughal Empire reached across a huge area of India. Though the Empire has long since disintegrated, the cuisine lives on in fragrant kitchens and dining rooms like that of The Mughals. Here, owners Mohinder and Dharmesh oversee a menu of dishes rendered flavorful by rich, spicy sauces and cooked in traditional clay ovens. Led by Chef Mohinder Pal—who has honed his skills in Indian restaurants for the last 20 years—the kitchen churns out piles of tandoori-baked naan, simmering bowls of goat curry, and sweet mango chutney. The team also has domestic and imported beer on tap and in bottles, which is why genies hide in bottles in the first place.

Popular Teas from RonnefeldtSee All 5 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
Chinese Sencha and fine fruity aromas and flowers
Citrus Mango Flavour
Ingredients: sunflower, cornflower, rose petals.
It is better than other Green Tea since I drink those.
First, You can drink with hot water.
Second, drip cold water in the teapot and enjoy it.

A very light tisane, which may have something to do with the large size of my mug. But it's good to have a light chamomile tea because sometimes the herbal taste of chamomile can be really intense (to the extent that it's bitter) and off-putting. This Ronnefeldt's version is slightly sweet and therefore more drinkable.

LEWISTON, N.Y. (Oct. 31) - Erie Community College sophomore forward Ryan Vertino (Grand Island/Grand Island H.S.) recorded two goals and two assists but the Kats' hockey team suffered a 6-5 overtime loss to the Niagara University ACHA team Sunday night at Dwyer Arena.
ECC trailed 3-2 in the third period before freshman forward Justin Banaszak (Lancaster, N.Y.) scored a power-play goal at 6:03. At 7:59, sophomore forward Todd Lyness (North Tonawanda, N.Y.) gave the Kats a 4-3 lead. Vertino then gave the Kats a 5-3 lead at 10:16.
The Kats were whistled for an interference penalty and Niagara scored nine seconds later to cut the Kats' lead to one, 5-4. Niagara tied the game at 16:14. After ECC was called for interference with 22 seconds remaining, Vertino had a chance to win the game in regulation but his shot went wide.
In the extra period, ECC was still shorthanded. Vertino intercepted a pass and had a breakaway attempt but his shot was kicked aside. Sixty-four seconds into the overtime, Niagara's Joe Baldinelli scored the game-winning goal.
ECC, now 1-1, plays Broome Community College Saturday at 3:15 p.m. in Cheektowaga.

With moribund state funding and the CDC slashing money to Reach 2010, Darrow called on the health department and others to declare an AIDS "state of emergency" in South Florida.
"A visible and viable coalition and not just me and a few others should call for a 'state of emergency' to address the AIDS situation in South Florida," Darrow says. "We should a have plan of action prepared to present with it that is credible, realistic, and worthy of support."
But Castrataro says that's unwarranted. After targeting prevention funding among blacks in Broward County for about a decade, he says, statistics show that HIV rates among that group have steadily declined. "The health department doesn't tell agencies what to do," he says, "but at that time we couldn't provide data to support the declaration of emergency."
The trouble with moving a finite amount of prevention money among at-risk groups, however, is similar to the carnival game in which you swing a mallet at toy gophers popping their heads out of holes: There's always another one jumping up elsewhere. So too is the case with beating back HIV infections in Broward. Just as the rates have gone down among blacks, infections among gay men and Hispanics to a lesser degree have risen, leaving the county with little overall improvement.
"It's very hard to have a persistent effort to try to deal with AIDS in South Florida," Darrow says.
After decades in the field, Darrow laments the current state of public health. "You can't make profit out of public health," he says. "It's a waste of taxpayers' money in a lot of people's minds, so it's not being supported."
For example, instead of increasing AIDS programs, the National Institutes of Health actually endured cuts for AIDS-related prevention of about $12 million last year.
Darrow mentions the disease that's galvanized the media recently, Asian bird flu. It may or may not become an epidemic, but he's pessimistic that the country, particularly South Florida, with its burgeoning population from around the world and strained health-care system, could handle such an outbreak.
"Sooner or later," he warns, "we're going to have to deal with piling people on top of each other, with a public-health infrastructure that's in decline."

Timeless Thursday: The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter

photo from www.peterrabbit.com Over holiday break, I finally watched the movie Miss Potter, starring Renee Zellweger as Beatrix Potter. It was a sensational movie, and I watched it with awe and amazement. Mostly because it was fascinating to see how Beatrix Potter created her books and fought for her books and didn't even know how […]

The Dramatically Improved Chevrolet Volt 2.0
What does this mean for all-electric range? Basically, while the current Volt 1.0 is rated by the EPA at 38 miles, the five-seat Volt should be around 40 miles, and the four-seat Volt (with the larger battery) would be closer to 50 miles.
Under the hood, the gasoline and electric combination will have been reworked primarily for efficiency. It is believed that the 1.4 liter four-cylinder will make way for a 1.2 liter three-cylinder. Weight will likely be down, in that area of the car, under the hood.
The gasoline efficiency will have been improved from the current 35-40 MPG (after the first 38 miles on all-electric, of course), to something very close to 50 MPG, or essentially matching the current Toyota Prius. Considering that most Volt owners drive a large majority of their miles on wall-plug battery power, this will not make a huge impact for most people.
However, if you are using the Volt to drive to Las Vegas or otherwise on long trips, going from 35 or 40 MPG to 50 MPG will make a difference. It is simply the result of being a refined 2.0 product.In any case, the exterior and interior will have been reworked for greater refinement, comfort and reduction in cost. Some examples:
Fewer exterior parts. You may have seen that the Volt 1.0 has more external body parts than is necessary. These will go away, reducing cost and weight.
Fewer interior parts. You may have seen that the Volt 1.0's dashboard has a lot more parts than is necessary. This will be simplified, reducing cost and weight.
Interior technology and ergonomics: People have complained that the Volt 1.0 is both too complex, and yet is behind the Tesla in terms of telematics. The Volt 2.0 will both get some more conventional controls (knobs, dials), as well as a more advanced set of displays, showing more information. In other words, better both for more conservative older people, as well as for younger technology enthusiasts alike.
Creature comforts: The seats will be better, electrically adjusted, and a sunroof option may happen.
Heat, cooling, windshield wipers and lights: I have noted that the
(F) plug-in electric models have better heat, cooling, windshield wipers and lights compared to the Volt 1.0. The Volt 2.0 will seek to narrow or eliminate these shortcomings.
The heat and cooling systems are also important for the efficiency of the electric range. All of these things improvements will help eek out a couple of miles of extra range. However, also keep in mind that a Volt 2.0 will also need to be engineered to satisfy ever-increasing safety standards, so that is a continued drag on energy efficiency, as is the case with all new car models.

Alexander Wang Will Sign Your Gum Wrapper
At Barneys successful (and fun) Trunk-a-palooza a couple of months ago, Alexander Wang set up his own tent on the seventh floor and spent just as much time selling his fall collection as he did meeting fans.
This week, he dragged the tent up north to Canada's Barneys equivalent Holt Renfrew and greeted a whole new set of fans, girls who asked him to sign Chloé sunglasses and a group of three with just one gum wrapper. So naturally, they split it into three and he happily signed each piece.
While that's kind of like asking Cameron Diaz to autograph a picture of Drew Barrymore, Wang's gotten just as far from being nice as he has from being a great designer. But here's a tip, next time you buy a piece from T (which given its stellar fall outing will probably be soon) stick the tag in your wallet just in case you run into him next time you're downtown.

Bronchiolitis is a childhood disease that affects the lungs. It occurs when a virus enters the breathing system. The virus causes the tiny airways in the lungs to become swollen. As a result, a thick fluid called mucus collects in the airways. This makes it hard for air to flow freely in the lungs.
Bronchiolitis is caused by a virus. There are several different types of virus that may cause it. The viruses are easily spread from person to person like a common
. It spreads most often through coughs or sneezes which release droplets of moisture into the air. Breathing in the air can cause the infection in a noninfected person.
Bronchiolitis can affect anyone, but is most common in children under the age of 2 years old.
Other factors that may increase your risk of infection include:

Images may be taken of your child's chest. This can be done with a chest x-ray.
There is no medication to cure viral infections. The infection will usually clear on its own after a week to 10 days.
Treatment steps will focus on making your child more comfortable. These steps include:
In severe cases, medical treatment may be needed. Your child may need to be admitted to the hospital.
There is no vaccine to prevent bronchiolitis. There are some medications that may lessen the risk of bronchiolitis by
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
. RSV is a virus which causes more than half of all cases of bronchiolitis. This preventative medication is usually given to high-risk babies. It is given monthly during high risk RSV season.
Proper handwashing
habits can help to prevent the spread of illness. Make sure to wash your hands before touching your child. Also wash your hands after being in contact with an infected person.
Bronchiolitis can spread easily from one person to another. Children should be kept home until they are well. Teach your children to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or upper sleeve when they cough or sneeze.

OK: props to the folks over at Total War Center,
, from whom I got the majority of my info.
The Earth as the year 30,000 AD approaches has been through quite a lot, as has humanity. The First and Second False Space Ages and the first True Space Age. The Planetary Colonization Era. The Asteroid Wars and the Gene Wars. The Universal Republic era. The Swarm of Worlds and the Interplanetary Wars. The period of VR Stagnation and its bloody and still mysterious end. The First Interstellar Age with its slower-than-light generation ships. The Solar Empire period. The First Great Death. The Diaspora and Fragmentation. The discovery of Hyperspace. The Rejoining of Branches. The Opening of the Closed Worlds. Etc, etc, with millennia to go before the Federation of Man and the technological peak of human civilization.
The Earth has seen several world governments come and go, and has suffered horrendous damage several times, by asteroid bombardment, antimatter weapons, and biological agents: fortunately, humanitys ability to survive has increased with its ability to destroy, and there have always been survivors to rebuild, with a nadir of a few tens of millions in bunkers near the core-mantle interface: the population has at other times numbered in trillions, requiring enormous cooling surfaces extending far above the atmosphere to radiate away the excess heat. During the most devastating of attacks, a large portion of the Oceans boiled into space, and the ecosystem was so damaged as to require its rebuilding essentially from scratch using genetic banks (there is still some disagreement as to whether the Unicorn was a pre-existent species or not.) The shape of the continents has further been changed by various efforts in planetary engineering to create more living space, while some annoying, ice-age causing variations and wobbles in planetary orbit and precession have been eliminated.
The most extended Time of Troubles has been the last four thousand years, during which humanity was first nearly exterminated by its own robotic creations, then saw its galactic empire broken up by warp storms making FTL exceedingly unsafe, was attacked on almost every major world by hordes of demons using psychic channelers as gates, was consumed by civil wars (often provoked by said demons) and plagues of madness, all deriving ultimately from the realm of Chaos. Earth survived, but was devastated to the point where functional planetary government ceased to exist and the majority of the population again perished (several wars with Mars didnt particularly help either). In the end what civilization remained was reduced to brutal and disciplined little dictatorships scattered about the planet in fortresses and underground refuges, from which new states slowly expanded into the radioactive, monster, demon and mutant-plagued wilderness. Much technology was lost, in part due to the number of survivors being insufficient to maintain a truly high tech society.
In the current time, the world has been largely divided up between a few giant powers, smaller states mostly having been wiped out or absorbed. Republicanism is largely a forgotten philosophy, states usually being monarchies or autocracies or theocracies of various sorts: the notion that the common man in the tunnel should have a say in how things are run is considered childish and unrealistic. Societies tend to be highly conservative, paranoid and xenophobic, the consequence of millennia of terrible wars in the past. People are generally not very religious but highly superstitious which in a world where actual demons and wizards exist, is perhaps not an entirely unreasonable point of view. Science as a vocation or an enthusiasm rather than punch-clock operation is looked upon with a great deal of suspicion, and several governments actively persecute those accused of practicing scientism: the verdict of history is taken to be that there are some things in which Man Was Not Meant to Meddle, and that scientists are people that if they see a big button labeled DOOMSDAY MACHINE ACTIVATOR: DO NOT PUSH, theyll almost certainly push it to see what happens. Engineers, people who know how to keep the machines working and perhaps improve them a bit, are highly valued, but research for the sake of research is considered very sketchy.
Space travel is largely unknown: there generally doesnt seem to be anywhere to go. Luna is unified, heavily armed, and deeply agoraphobic. Mars is run by a theocratic technocracy, and is downright hostile. Venus got blown to bits at some point, and radio signals from the outer planets do not seem convincingly human. Warp storms make FTL travel impractically dangerous. The general attitude is exemplified by the fact the bigger nations maintain massive dug in laser cannon to shoot down any visitors from space.
Technology is an odd mix of surviving elements: quite a few lines of technological development have just petered out or been discarded as impractical. Others have been forgotten in the eras of chaos, and without any real R&D beyond steal other peoples tech secrets, have not been rediscovered. Artificial intelligence of any sort is verboten, due to memories of the war with the robots or iron men (Cleverbot would be ruthlessly exterminated). While fusion power and near-indestructible building materials and all sorts of genetically engineered plants and animals exist, the technology for antigravity propulsion has been lost, and with it pretty much all forms of air travel, ancient-type jet or propeller driven craft being considered too fragile or too poor in carrying capacity to be useful for military or mass transportation purposes: only a few nations field flying machines, and in most airplanes are at best toys for the rich. Colossal armored trains capable of carrying hundreds of thousands of people are the normal intercity transport. In combat, power armor is king: the loss of disintegrator tech means that good ol hand-to-hand fighting has come back into its own, since regular gunpowder and explosives arent able to crack a good suit of armor. Heavy artillery is needed, and given the high mobility of troops in power armor, these in turn need more troops in power armor to defend them. Some nations have the capacity to build powerful hand lasers, but even they take a while to cut through the kind of super-strong materials power armor is made of, and its hard to keep a laser focused when the target is advancing towards you in 50-foot bounds and wielding a 10-foot vibrating monomolecular blade capable of slicing an OTL tank into pieces like a sushi chef chopping veggies.
Admittedly most nations do not have the resources or industrial capacity to fully equip their hordes of troops with cutting edge power armor: most troops in the world have third-rate armor just capable of moving itself easily, and are equipped with weapons frequently more dangerous to themselves than better-armored opponents. But then in this world the term cannon fodder is used un-ironically, and if 50 low-level troops must be expended to get rid of one foreign elite, then so be it.
War vehicles tend to the massive and lumbering, motile forts bristling with artillery and guarded by armored troops like actual forts. High explosives, super-hot incendiaries to cook people inside their armor, and even low-yield nuclear weapons are all part of the normal battlefield experience: and then of course there are the ugly surprises. Most nations have stocks of ancient, no longer duplicable weapons, and often will bring some surprise doomsday weapon into play at a strategic moment. A few weapons have been discarded: the effects of long-term radiation induction weapons are so counterproductive, leaving vast areas unusable for many millennia, most notably in the early years of Brasilian expansion and the great war between Ursh and Afrique, that even the maddest of dictators has taken them off the table. But hive-city cracking atomic cannon, radiative death zones, bioengineered mountain-sized monsters, earthquake generators, etc., are all acceptable tools if the objectives are important enough. And then there is magic.
Magic is what psychic channelers, Psychers, who can access the Primal Chaos which underlies hyperspace can do. The very fabric of reality can be warped and distorted, and grotesque horrors result. It is horribly dangerous stuff, since its use attracts the monstrous inhabitants of Chaos, demons more terrible than any medieval nightmare, and an incautious Psycher can easily end up providing a channel to our world for such, in some cases just ending up mentally taking over the Psycher (and often anyone else in the neighborhood), more rarely physically manifesting themselves. And if enough power is used, there are worse things than demons in the depths of Chaos: there are beings which for a lack of a better word are referred to as Gods by those in the know, creatures who feed off the pain and lust and madness and greed and disorder of every living thing in the galaxy. And they might notice
However, the chances of magic being useful in some desperate situation (especially if the other guy is using it) seem high enough that pretty much every nation dabbles in it (being a psychic channeler is supposedly a death sentence in most countries, but who is to say what becomes of people the state just vanishes?): a few, such as Ursh and the Nordafrik Conclaves, dabble on a rather larger scale.
Populations have bounced back briskly: society is generally sexist, large families remain the norm, and birth control is discouraged (a steady supply of fresh combat-age males is usually pretty much demanded by the state). Populations are in fact far higher than OTL 2012: a combination of synthetic food production and genetically engineered super-plants vastly more efficient in converting sunlight into food than the crappy chlorophyll-cycle systems of today means that over 50 times as many people as today can be successfully (if rather boringly) fed: global population approaches 400 billion. Most of these multitudes are crowded into giant cities often referred to as hives: not only does this maximize land available for food production, but serves as a response to the insecurity that has been the plague of so much of the last few millennia each hive city is essentially a gigantic fortress, a massively armored structure in some cases over two miles high, with outer walls often hundreds of feet thick, divided into separate outer and inner layers by massive internal security gates: the ruling classes generally live deep within the structures, with many layers of armor, troops, weapons, etc. between them and any attacker.
Although the larger powers have been mostly at peace for some centuries, a certain low-level skirmishing and testing of strengths goes on almost all the time, and the desolate radioactive borderlands and deserts too harsh for even the super-plants to grow are inhabited by marginal peoples, some with the technology to produce synthetic foods, others surviving by raiding the agricultural lands of the established states. Some are techno-barbarians, living off of a highly stripped down but endlessly repairable or self-regenerating technology package: others are sub-races, branches of humanity mutated by radiation or bioweapons, shunned like lepers by base type humans: still others are aliens stranded on Earth by the warp storms, forced to flee into the wilderness when desperate humans began to ask why are we sharing food and water with them? None of these really count as a serious threat to the major human powers, loose talk about mutant hordes nowithstanding, but they do make convenient bogeymen. A more serious threat is the occasional wilderness communities of psychics and chaos channelers: they often self-destruct in an eruption of demons, but sometimes they gain some stability under a powerful leader, and have on occasion destroyed or taken control of hive cities. Even dead Psychers still can cause trouble, if the Things that they have carelessly summoned decide to hang around after horribly killing them. There are also a variety of nasty mutant animals, which in spite of frequent massacre, still continued to survive through Ludicrously Fast Breeding
There are at least five different species of intelligent aliens surviving in desolate parts of the world: the reptilian species of the Brasealean southern deserts have made themselves experts in concealment, for they are hunted by elite troops who decorate themselves with their skins. The most successful are the octopus-like creatures who monopolize the deep sea environment: they will come close to their goal of developing technologies to hold the surface world hostage, but before that occurs the God-Emperor will exterminate them as a small side job to his main task of reunifying mankind.
The landscape is usually covered with a thick tangle of the dark, almost black food plants where its not radioactive rubble, frozen wastes or baking-hot desert, the vegetation extending in floating mats far out onto the ocean. Huge harvesting machines grind along in the distance. Here and there, the straight line of a train-road bisects the landscape, and something like a row of ocean liners shoots along it at a few hundred miles an hour. On the horizon, visible a hundred miles away or more, one may see the mountainous form of a hive city. There is wilderness here and there, strange tangles of mutated vegetation, some terrestrial, some alien in origin, usually located in disputed border areas or in the radioactive fringe lands of a dead zone. In a few places, wilderness has been deliberately set apart by kings and dictators to provide a little touch of real nature for elites to enjoy. Aside from the hive cities, the landscape includes huge mining complexes extending down tens of miles into the planetary interior (the upper crustal layers were mined out long ago), smaller-than-city-hives-but-still vast defensive fortresses bristling with artillery, and agricultural tending stations (usually including a posting of troops. Far worse pests than aphids may be lurking in the vegetation).
The Dead Zones were exposed to particularly lethal forms of atomic energy which has rendered them nearly permanently radioactive, remaining uninhabitable even after millennia. Areas with merely normal fallout are hardly even worth putting on maps. Only a few rare and exotic forms of life survive in these areas.
People tend, after so many millennia, to be racially mixed. Of course, given human phenotype manifestations, any population will show a variety of types, dark skinned, light, dark, blonde, etc. What was once East Asia, due to its massive demographics, still tends to look a bit Asian, and what was formerly Africa is a bit dark, but the rest of the world is a hodge-podge. (Generally the spectrum of human shades is hued a couple shades lighter than would be the case if most people didnt spend their lives in Caves of Steel or in gas-tight suits of combat armor). Although various efforts over the millennia to seriously upgrade humanity through genetic engineering, etc. have generally ended in tears, many small patches have added up over time: people are generally healthier, taller, considerably longer lived and far more resistant to cancer and heart disease than people of our day. Not having us to compare their selves with, Earths crowded, disciplined billions derive no pleasure from this fact.
Neither the racial mixing nor the fact that pretty much all human languages are decayed offshoots of a planetary common speech developed in the 24th millennium has prevented the development of new nationalisms. With no clear national history after centuries of chaos and warfare, many nations have taken identities from long-ago nations and states in areas roughly corresponding to their present locations.
Merika, perhaps the worlds richest and most developed state, and the third most populous (second if its vassals to the north are counted), claims a continuity going back to the ancient Usah empire. It is true that a regional identity of sorts has continued throughout many millennia and multiple changes of world government, and during periods of disunity some sort of North American state has reemerged more than once, but by the late 29th millennium the USA exists as little more than a myth of good government, prosperity and freedom (freedom being imperfectly understood). Still, it is a powerful legend, and the colossal capital of New New Yawk (which has more people than the entire 2012 USA) was built where what was assumed to be the statue of liberty was uncovered during a mining operation. (The statue actually dates to the 21st millennium, is made of starship hull-metal, and was built closer to old Boston than old New York, but it did have a kinda sorta liberty theme, so theres that). The Merikan government is essentially a military dictatorship, but the swarming billions are mostly left to live their lives without much interference from the central government (not that there arent plenty of petty local tyrants in the hive cities, but their power too is limited). Of course, much of the prosperity, and the fact that Ursh hasnt dared attack in half a millennia, may have a lot to do with the fact that the most powerful Psycher in all of human history, the man who will be the God-Emperor of Mankind, is currently hiding out as a humble member of the government and manipulating things behind the scenes.
Calbi (known of old as Great Alba) was an fierce enemy of Merika in ancient times, but is now a tightly controlled vassal, dependent for certain raw materials and foodstuffs (even the super-plants can only do so much with the climate, and Calbi synthetic food technology is not of the best), and providing extra warm bodies for Merikas armies. It has an identity largely divorced from that of old Canada, which left only a few legends (such as the tale of the ever-filled pot of poutine), and only vaguely tied to a half-mythic English identity among certain subgroups. Most of the population is concentrated in a small number of particularly huge hive cities (the better for the Merikans to police them).
To the south lies another old enemy, Hy Braseal, which has a national identity compounded out of bits and pieces and random scraps, but oddly enough still know how to throw a hell of a party. Currently the government has some democratic elements, with the national parliament having some real power. As international tensions rise with the approach of the Age of Unification, this will change for the worse. Brasealians are noted as breeders of giant gene-engineered monsters and as artistic architects, within the limitations of massive fortification architecture. It is bordered by one of the most badly damaged parts of the planet, which separates it from the somewhat isolated Antarctic Kingdoms.
The Antarcticans live mostly underground, and grow or synthesize their food down below. They have dug out an incredible system of tunnels over the millennia, for obscure reasons far more than are needed: there are millions of miles of tunnel down there, the majority no longer used. Although loosely unified under a High King, the bonds between the Kingdoms are weak, and they fight frequent ritualized battles atop the ice. Their culture has few if any historical antecedents.
The eight states of more-or-less Europe are of comparatively little importance, with a combined population a little over a quarter of that of Merika. There is also quite a bit of reaching when attempting to create new identities: the new Roman identity that the Europians are using as a template is of an inaccuracy that would embarrass the SyFy channel, while the Duscht Jemanic have so vague a grasp of German history that they hold the belief Hitler was some sort of cool guy, and use the Swastika as one of their national symbols. (There are people in the 29th millennium, followers of a minor cult identity, [1] that are frankly unaware that a chap called Hitler once killed a bunch of followers of an ancient faith theirs descends from). The Skand have a strange religion and odder customs, and generally gruesomely sacrifice people they capture in wars: there are some who say they are genetically distinct from most of humanity, and not in a good way. Gredbritton, which has been ruled by the same line of kings for half a millennium, is noted for its multitude of small, scattered cities (aside from the capital itself, none exceed a mere five million: practically villages) and a mysterious secret cult of assassins that protects it from foreign enemies, which holds a trove of ancient super-tech including the only operating anti-gravity war flyers on the planet, reporting to a leader known only as M. [2]
The most important local force is the Quintuple Alliance, a grouping of countries banded together to deter further Ursh expansion after the destruction of Afrique. Aside from four European nations, it includes the powerful Achaemenid Empire (their historians confused a dynasty name for a national one: the geographical location of Persia, and its relationship with Iran, remain hotly debated). Other members include the small-scale industrial powerhouse of Uralia, whose principal tie to the ancient Russians is a formidable capacity for booze, and the remarkably innovative little nation whose people call themselves the Terrawatt Clan a nation where a certain self-important immortal has fingers in many pies.
The peculiar oligarchic, mystical and highly refined culture of the North Afrik Conclaves bewitches and occasionally frightens outsiders, who hear many rumors of the strange powers and forces and powerful ancient machineries commanded by this nation. These rumors however inflame greed and ambition rather than provoke caution in Ursh, where the national sentiment is that the inevitable expansion of Ursh to global dominance has too long been delayed by a sickly and cowardly peace: if the Conclaves have unknown super-tech, then it will be added to the arsenal of Ursh.
Ursh is the largest and most populous nation on earth, incorporating lands that used to be India as well as much of interior China and north Asia. It is also a harsh totalitarianism somewhat mitigated, as the expression goes, by assassination. It freely dabbled in the dangerous powers of Chaos and indeed it is hard to say to what extent its ruling classes have been corrupted by these forces. Obedience and discipline is all, from the highest general in a palace-mountain to the lowest pipe-scrub boy in the foulest sumps of the most hellish of hive cities. Its identity is drawn from a variety of earlier totalitarianisms, from the 20th century to the 16th millennium.
Perhaps the most terrible war fought on Earth in the last three millennia was that between Ursh and the Afrique League, at the time the largest, most populous nation on earth, if a bit backwards and politically rickety. It ended in the greatest unleashing of doomsday weapons since the destruction of the lost Polar Empire, and shattered the League for all time: its former lands are now divided into the realms of petty dictators, Ursh puppet states (kept weak and divided), and a couple civilized (well, by this worlds standards) states separated by vast areas of chaos and radiation and jungles inhabited by unholy monsters.
The Pan Pacific Bloc, which looks back to Chinese imperial models, [3] (in spite of the fact that the current ruling familys name clearly proclaims a European origin) is a harsh dictatorship, but lacks the whiff of Chaos that makes Ursh so worrying. Its people are second in wealth only to the Merikans, and its leaders are proud and haughty. Having fought several bloody and inconclusive border wars with Ursh (in the last of which they were forced to irradiate a vast swathe of their own countrys borderlands to block and Ursh advance) they have occasionally attempted to create a grand anti-Ursh alliance, but the Merikans (with which they have in the past clashed in Pacific waters) arent buying.
The region that became Yndonesia, during the chaotic centuries after the Warp Storms, began converting from a purely secular high-tech society to followers of a peculiar offspring of the ancient Christian faith. It eventually evolved into a militant theocracy: not strong enough to expand further in opposition to powerful neighbors, it has turned inwards, seeking to create a pure society through mental programming and a bit of eugenics. Even more hostile to a scientific mindset than is normal on this world, the Yndonesian Bloc has begun to slip behind the rest of the world in technology, although given the low level of contact with infidels, nobody has noticed yet. Like Antarctica and to some extent the Conclaves, its culture is uniquely its own and draws little from ancient models.
Hundreds of miles down, a few deep-mantle protective vaults are still inhabited, by cranky little civilizations which, knowing the surface world has gone to hell, are by gum going to stay where it is safe. Some will survive even after the God-Emperor has made the entire surface of the planet into one galaxy-dominating city, because he finds them amusing.
[1] Barely half a billion of them world-wide!
[2] M as in Bond's boss? M as in Mycroft or Moriarty? M as in Merlin? That...is a secret.
[3] From the POV of the 29th millennia, the period during which Japan was a serious challenger to China is an almost invisible historical blip.

Mutual Holding Company For Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. To Seek Member Approval For Dividend Waiver
GOUVERNEUR, N.Y., Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB Market: GOVB) the holding company for Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association (the "Bank"), today announced that Cambray Mutual Holding Company ("Cambray MHC"), the mutual holding company that owns 58.82% of the Company's outstanding common stock, will hold a special meeting of its members to vote on a proposal to waive Cambray MHC's right to receive annual dividends of up to $0.34 per share that may be declared by the Company during the 12-month period following the member vote. All dividends on the Company's common stock are declared at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The special meeting will be held on November 18, 2013.
Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System prohibit the waiver of dividends by Cambray MHC unless the waiver has been approved by its members, consisting of depositors of the Bank.
There can be no assurance that the members will approve the dividend waiver or that the Federal Reserve Board will not object to the waiver even it is approved by members at the special meeting. Over time, the failure to obtain this waiver could result in a reduction in the dividend paid to public shareholders.
Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association. Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association is a federally-chartered savings and loan association that operates two full-service offices in New York.This press release may contain statements that are forward-looking, as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 or the Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules, regulations and releases.
