By now, you've probably heard about what went down at the Supreme Court yesterday during the oral arguments for Schwarzenegger v. EMA, the case regarding California's proposed law prohibiting the sale of certain violent video games to minors. You might have heard that half of Justice Elena Kagan's clerks played Mortal Kombat as teenagers, or that human-on-Vulcan torture is not considered obscene by the state of California. If you want to look at the whole 60-page court transcript of the oral arguments, go ahead - it's a surprisingly quick read. But in the meantime, we at GR were there for both the oral arguments and all the crazy happenings outside the courthouse, and we've compiled a list of 10 of the day's best moments for you, along with a little sprinkling of harmless speculation as to what this whole mess is going to mean for the gaming community.
JUSTICE GINSBURG: Does California have any kind of an advisory… office that will view these [videogames] and say, yes, this [game] belongs in ... "deviant violence…?" … Is there any kind of opinion that…the seller can get to know which games can be sold to minors and which ones can't?"…
JUSTICE SCALIA: You should consider creating such a one. You might call it the "California office of censorship." It would judge each of these [videogames] one by one. That would be very nice.
Some might say Justice Antonin Scalia is conservative to the point of absurdity. Others might say he's the worst thing to happen to the Supreme Court in decades. One thing you can't deny - man knows how to deliver a zinger. If the Supreme Court was Saturday Night Live, Scalia would be David Spade - nobody really likes the guy so much, but as long as you're not on the receiving end of his insults, yeah - you'll probably laugh, if out of no other reason than schadenfreude…
What will this mean for the future? California's game law is surprisingly vague as to what constitutes the type of videogame that kids shouldn't be allowed to play. Throughout the oral arguments, the Supreme Court Justices attacked the lawyer representing Schwarzenegger and the State of California, seeking clarification on how California's violent videogame law would actually be applied should the Supreme Court approve it.
The answers, as you'll see throughout the oral arguments, are kind of ridiculous. But that's just one of the big problems California faces with regards to this law is applied: the more effort it takes for a State to determine whether or not something is "obscene," the more the State ends up looking like it shouldn't have been involved to begin with.
BREYER: Why isn't it common sense to say [that] a State has the right to say, "Parent, if you want [an extremely violent game] for your 13-year-old, you go buy it yourself," which I think is what they are saying?
It would certainly seem that if anyone on the Supreme Court likely wants to see the California bill get passed, it's Justice Breyer. Breyer clearly wants to find some way to keep violent videogames out of the hands of minors - he is convinced by the studies that say violent videogames cause harm to kids (yes, thoooooose studies), and he believes that states can legislate and regulate commercial industries based solely on what he calls "common sense."
What does this mean for the future? Fair enough, Justice Breyer - if you truly believe the studies show a fundamental link between games and violence, you may believe that there's something that needs to be done to protect kids from the violent videogame "threat." It's worth noting that under Breyer's view of the situation, preventing harm to minors is considered to be more valuable than preserving the rights of game manufacturers to protected speech - under a strict interpretation of this view, even a game many see as having a redeeming social value, like Medal of Honor, if it was considered harmful to minors, might be regulated.
We'd be pretty willing to wager that the Supreme Court is not going to force California to conform to Justice Breyer's interpretation of "common sense." Most of the court's criticisms of Schwarzenegger's law involved the law being too vague: relying solely on "common sense" to make and enforce laws isn't really much better of an alternative.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: So what happens when the character gets maimed, [his] head chopped off, and immediately after it happens they spring back to life and they continue their battle. Is that covered by your act? Because they haven't been maimed and killed forever. Just temporarily.
Gamers should like Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Unlike the other Justices who openly admit to knowing next to nothing about the actual world of videogames, Sotomayor asked probing question after probing question to the lawyer for California. Not just good legal questions; questions that proved she knew games. That's pretty awesome. See, here's the test the prosecution seems to be suggesting would be sufficient to determine whether a game can be sold to minors under the California law:
The second step of the test involves whether or not there is "killing, maiming, dismembering, or sexually assaulting an image of a human being" within the game being tested. One of Sotomayor's biggest influences in the oral argument yesterday involved tearing this particular requirement apart. What if the person you kill in a shooter respawns seconds later? Did you really "kill" him?
What does this mean for the future? For Schwarzenegger v. EMA, probably not much - most of the other Justices on the bench had no idea what Justice Sotomayor was talking about here. Plus, this comment was made after it was pretty clearly established by the Justices that the California law was vague, so it's doubtful that this comment alone will sway any Justice's opinion. Still, it proves that Sotomayor knows at least a little bit about how videogames actually work, even if she can't personally pull off Reptile's Acid Spit fatality. Take what you can get!

BURLINGTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 -- Awareness, Inc., provider of on-demand social marketing automation software, today announced the results of a 451 Group Spotlight Report on customer acquisition social tools, naming Awareness a leader in the space.
The report examines the budding 'social customer acquisition' market. Social marketing vendors are enhancing their product offerings beyond what is traditionally offered by social media management platforms. Specifically, 451 highlights Awareness' Social Profiling and Social Scoring capabilities that allows marketers to analyze and apply custom segmentation logic to their social databases to meet specific customer acquisition and conversion goals, and as a result increase social marketing ROI and sales. As companies collect demographic and social activity data, they can implement sophisticated triggers to identify intent to purchase, brand advocacy and signs of customer churn at a scale not available in social media management, social marketing automation or social CRM systems for the SMB sector.
"Social media has always held more potential than simply a broadcast marketing channel. Social customer acquisition has been a dream for marketers since the rise of social media," says Mike Lewis, vice president of marketing and sales for Awareness. "We are pleased that 451 recognizes and validates the importance of this fundamental shift in social marketing."
The 451 Research report, Has social customer acquisition emerged as a stand-alone market, reviews the acquisition activity in the social marketing space within the last 18 months, which amounts to over a billion dollars with several vendors emerging with models focusing on building strong prospect pipelines for both B2C and B2B business models, inside and across social channels. On the enterprise end of the spectrum, the report includes Adobe's $400M acquisition of Efficient Frontier, Oracle acquiring Vitrue and Involver, IBM - Tealeaf Technology, Google - Wildfire Interactive, and salesforce.com acquiring Buddy Media. Companies lagging behind in the SMB space include SugarCRM and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, with very large SMB customer base, noted to be lacking deep social marketing capabilities. SMB platforms such as Marketo and HubSpot are positioned as focused on demand generation as opposed to deep social marketing capabilities.
"The vast amount of social interactions occurring daily across social channels offers incredible opportunities for firms of all shapes and sizes to pull out not only relevant conversations, but highly targeted prospects and convert these into sales, or to use social behavior as a lead-scoring lever," offers Alan Pelz-Sharpe, Research Director at 451 Research. "We see Awareness as well-positioned in the new social customer acquisition segment, specifically in the critical small to mid-sized company space, which is currently underserved."
451 Research plotted social marketing vendors based on the robustness of their social acquisition features, coupled with a cost-to-benefit ratio of their software packages. Awareness leads the social customer acquisition pack, which includes HubSpot, Spredfast, HootSuitePro, Shoutlet, and Salesforce.com's Marketing Cloud.
About Awareness, Inc. (http://www.awarenessnetworks.com/)
With a unique combination of technology, experience and thoughtful support, Awareness enables smart marketers to efficiently and effectively generate ROI from 100% trackable social media interactions. It is the leading provider of OnDemand Social Marketing Automation Software designed specifically to address all key aspects of social media marketing -- from demand generation to customer acquisition and social customer engagement.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

General Comments
This is the best phone I've ever used. The Siemens ME45 is a very tough phone and its dimensions are excellent for me. Its battery has an excellent performance as it lasts for about one week with normal usage. The phone has a large display and many features. Also, it can store 500 names with 14 fields each. The flexible memory is another useful feature and the phone has also infrared port. Finally, reception and sound quality are very good. I highly recommend this phone, it is a masterpiece. Well done, Siemens!

Excellent pitch here at the Ageas Bowl, bit of talk about bowling first, that would have been a huge mistake. Cook looking busy & confident
— Shane Warne (@ShaneWarne) July 27, 2014
Toss: England captain Alastair Cook won the toss and elected to bat against India in the third Test.
Both the sides have made two changes each. England have surprisingly dropped Liam Plunkett and drafted in Chris Jordan. They have also replaced the out of form Ben Stokes to bring in Chris Woakes.
For India, Rohit Sharma comes in for Stuart Binny and Pankaj in for Ishant.
England: Alastair Cook (c), Sam Robson, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Gary Ballance, Moeen Ali, Jos Buttler (wk), Chris Jordan, Chris Woakes, James Anderson, Stuart Broad
India: Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni (c&wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Pankaj Singh, Mohammed Shami
Big news: Ishant Sharma has been ruled out due to injury. Pankaj Singh has been handed his Test cap by Sourav Ganguly. This is a huge development as Ishant was the man of the match in the previous game. A big blow for India!
Hello and welcome to CricketCountry's coverage of the third Test between England at India at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton. India are 1-0 up in the series following their victory at Lord's. It was a memorable victory as India bounced out England and went on to win the game by 95 runs. MS Dhoni's men would be looking forward to put pressure on the hosts. But, there is a different backdrop to this. Dhoni is not happy with the fine on Ravindra Jadeja and the shadows of the pushgate controversy still looms large.
I am Devarchit Varma and will take you through the game. There is an interesting setting at Southampton as the word is that there still is a bit of grass on the surface, though not as much as Lord's.

NK and Salt - You must have it!
I was just reading through The Art and Science of Low Carb Living for a question about salt in our 80/15/5 thread and I thought it was important to make a general post for the quotes from Phinney on this issue.
This is the post and here is the salient text of it...
Page 19 or location 458
"Salt deprivation leads to lightheadedness, fatigue, headache, and malaise."
Here is the part you are talking about, on page 20 or location 476: "High carbohydrate diets make the kidneys retain salt, whereas a low carbohydrate intake increases sodium excretion by the kidney (called 'the natriuresis of fasting')."
Another quote from that chapter's summary:
"3. Third, the body's metabolism of salt is uniquely different when one is adapted to a low carbohydrate diet. Salt and water are more efficiently excreted, which is a good thing as long as you maintain an adequate minimum sodium intake. Ignore this lesson and you are likely to suffer the completely avoidable problems of headache, fatigue, weakness, and constipation"
That is very interesting. If you are having a problem with regularity you could benefit from a close examination of your sodium intake.
Page 40 has more salty goodness. He remarks that adding 1 to 2 cups of bullion to your routine adds about 1-2 grams of sodium and being keto-adapted ensures that the salt moves right on through you.
Interesting. I think that he is saying that once you are keto-adapted you will not experience water retention from 'excess' salt. He says that 5 grams of sodium a day is about right for a keto-adapted person and that is a whole lot of sodium and a vast amount of table salt (which is not pure sodium).
On page 150 or location 2650, Phinney shows low sodium to be the culprit behind abnormal potassium sacrifice. "At some point, when confronted with this low sodium intake plus carbohydrate restriction, most people's defense mechanisms can't maintain normal mineral balances. So the body's next level of defense is for the adrenal gland to secrete the hormone aldosterone, which makes kidney tubular cells excrete potassium in order to conserve sodium. That is, the body wastes some of its intracellular potassium in order to cling to whatever sodium it can. However unless there is copious potassium coming in from the diet, this excess urinary potassium comes from the body's potassium pool inside cells. Two things then happen. First, nerve and muscles cells don't work well, leading to cardia dysrhythmias and muscle cramps. Second, because potassium is an obligate component of lean tissue, the body starts losing muscle even if there's plenty of protein in th diet"
Wow!!! So that fluttery heartbeat you experience is from a potassium deficiency brought about by too little sodium!! Dang.
And...Wow!!! So eat low sodium LC at your LBM's peril! That is very interesting too because it implies that you'd lose LBM without necessarily experiencing cramping.
This has an interesting implication.. Losing LBM has an impact on caloric requirements too. Less LBM means less calories burned because muscle mass burns calories just by being there. So you gradually lose LBM and your actual calorie needs diminish too. And ... you stall.
Page 150, and elsewhere, is where he says a total of 5 grams of sodium for an LC'r in some combination of food and added sodium (broth, bullion, etc).
I totally concur with all the above. I know that when I feel a bit "iffy" anywhere in my body, I reach for the salt and it "cures me" of whatever it was. And I have been losing LBM for the last couple months, so took my "new" macros and have been really forcing myself to eat more calories and more protein (I was one eating on the low end) and have noticed a total change in how I feel. Before even stepping on the scale this morning, I feel "silly" and "giddy" and haven't felt that way in a long time. And the scale finally dropped! I'm even sillier/giddier after that! Eat your salt!!! (not the type in the grocery stores, but real salt, himalayan salt, gray salt, etc.)
Whatever salt you eat - use it liberally!
I'm glad to hear that about the cals and protein Shelley :)
Someone mentioned meds and salt in another thread. Always consider your health condition and whatever meds you may be taking before you make changes - salt or anything else.
My morning routine now is a cup of black coffee with MCT. Once that's done I drink a cup of hot water with one beef bullion cube which contains 2 grams of salt. It's awesome. I usually then go out and run and when I get back home it's time for breakfast. Then I liberally salt my food. Candidly, without that bullion in the morning, I'm not sure I could get 2 grams of sodium in my diet. That's a hell of a lot of salt, but their is something about being in that beef broth that makes it seem not so salty.
lol you got that right! I added sodium to my food log, googled the table salt to sodium conversion and then measured out the appropriate amount of table salt to get in 5 grams. Wow!!! That is a lot of salt.
I ate it all, a big chunk of it on my last meal because I'd neglected it ... I thought I was going to pass out heh.
That is a great point about the possible problems with bouillon Arlene.
Here is Buffy's very simple and delicious chicken broth recipe for anyone that wants to do a homemade version.
What about the Wyler's brand? Thats what I normally use.. If it has sugar, it can't be more than 1g, since a cube is 5 calories.
Thanks for this thread! I used to wonder why I always seem to need way more salt than many others do, and "too much" salt never really caused water rentention issues for me. I also figured out that the occasional dizzyness/weakness/brain fog I used to get at times didn't have to do with hunger or blood sugar (I test my BG regularly) and instead had to do with electrolyte imbalance. On top of that I've always had low blood pressure. So this all makes perfect sense.
I no longer do NK, but without any effort, my normal woe lands me on a monthly average at 65-70% fat, and with 2-8g carbs or 25-35g carbs every other day, along with a protein range of 40-60g or 60-90g every other day, it is still fairly lchf so I sometimes stalk you guys in this new shiny forum. In any case, needing significantly more salt definitely applies to me. Homemade bone broth and Himalayan sea salt are good friends of mine. :shake:
Thanks for stopping by, vilanteria. :hiya:
Cici, it's good to see you here! Hope you're doing well on NK. :)
I though I would pop in and let you know the mechanism for the salt thing.
Geek alert!!
The body has to keep electrolytes in balance. That is, negative and positive ions have to be kept in a very narrow range to maintain life.
Positive charges pool= Cations
sodium - (Na+), accounts for 87%
potassium - (K+), accounts for 4%
Calcium, magnesium, unmeasured - (Ca+, Mg+, UC) , account for 9%
Negative charges pool = Anions
chloride - (Cl-), accounts for 68%
bicarb - (HCO3-), accounts for 13%
unmeasured -(UA), accounts for 19%
As you can see, Sodium and Chloride make up the bulk of the positive and negative ions in the blood and keeping them in range keeps the body in a certain acid/base balance.
When ketones are present and metabolized, they are broken down into a positive (+) and a negative (-) component. In order to eliminate these + and - ions, they have to be coupled with + or - ions in order to cross through into the urine. The neg. ketone segment is coupled with sodium (Na+).
When the total sodium content of the blood falls to a dangerous level, the body starts to use potassium instead. Potassium is very important for muscle and nerve function and the body MUST maintain usable levels in the blood. If blood levels fall, more is scavenged from inside the cells.
Aldosterone will cue the kidneys to save sodium and excrete potassium.
Insulin also affects sodium and potassium levels.
When we change from SAD to a ketogenic or NK type diet, we change insulin levels as well as ketone levels. Our Induction Flu is associated with the body shifting all these electrolytes back to normal levels with different mechanisms being responsible for that balance.
It"s no wonder our bodies go into a tail spin in the first week when we change the entire system so suddenly.
Drjlocarb - thank you!! :notwrthy:
Yes, thanks for that, drjlocarb! It's really beneficial to know the reasonings behind this.
Thanks, DRJ
drjlocarb! What an awesome post! It is trillian worthy!
I'm gonna cross post it on our HF thread!
I have no knowledge about the galaxy. I only know about mammals.
I use it because I also sometimes get headaches after eating a meal I thought might have MSG in it. Stands for "monosodium glutamate". That is the sodium salt of glutamic acid -- a 'non-essential' amino acid.
All proteins would be partially composed of glutamic acid, so you would get this from the normal digestion of protein. As to why (or if) eating a steak does not give one a headache but eating chinese food with a little MSG added to enhance flavor, I have no idea.
Good questions Phillip.
Bicarb is the the first line of defence and is used first. CL- is plentiful and acts as a back up. Bicarb takes longer to make and will come back to normal range but it takes time. The Cl- will keep the acid balance (AG ratio) normalized until significant Bicarb can be produced to keep the slightly acidic range necessary for normal function. The acidic environment will remain normal because of an increased availability of the Cl- even when absolute Bicarb levels are slightly decreased. Therefore blood ph will be normal.
Ketones are oxidized to CO2 and water, but inside the cell (mitochondria) not in the blood. There are keto acids produced during production and breakdown of the ketones (ketone by-products) and the Bicarb and later Cl- take care of base parts and the Na+ and K+ takes care of the neg parts.
Things that will acidify the blood:
uremic acids
Cl- is not a buffer, nor is it a base, so I don't see how it can play a role in changing the pH of blood.
Also, just to be clear, there are no "keto acids" left over after ketone bodies go through the citric acid cycle -- unless you mean CO2. But again this is no different than pyruvate generated from glucose.
There are only 3 "ketone bodies" I am aware of -- acetone, acetoacetate and betahydroxybutarate. These are fuel that can be burnt inside cells. The latter two are carboxylic acids produced during beta oxidation of fat. But I think they would have to be buffered by bicarbonate (a buffer) in the blood. I don't see how metal ions, or chloride would play a role in maintaining blood pH one way or another.
Unless you are saying that in extreme cases (eg diabetic ketoacidosis) the kidneys can excrete them, but require an ion of opposite charge to do so? Then, yes, sodium and potassium would be needed. But not for neutralization per se, but to excrete the offending acids from the body entirely.
And, yes,my belief is at the beginning, we are in a very, very mild DKA-like state as the body adjusts to the duel fuel sources. Insulin is gone and ketones are produced and our bodies have to get used to using ketones.
The whole point being....we need more salt. I find I need less as keto-adaptation occurs.
I over simplified it for the rest of the crowd and that is what through you off. Sorry.
Bringing the conversation back to a level we humanities majors can understand...I'm rather glad to get this info. about the sodium. The tracking site I've been using has been screaming at me for my sodium levels (usually 2500-3000/day) and for a long time I was trying like mad to get my levels down. I really enjoy having miso soup for my afternoon snack, and now I find it's actually helping instead of hurting me. :D
But, to the point you are making. Because our blood has a fair amount of BHB and AcAc, both of which are (1) acids and (2) negatively charged, you body has to balance (1) the pH of the blood and (2) the charge?
So would it actually do that by bumping up the sodium ion concentration by say, 3 mM, if your blood [BHB] is 3 mM? I guess that is a minor increase? (Looks like a normal figure is 135-145 mM.)
Anyway, very interesting. Thanks!

Well this looks fun.
Just two weeks after blowing people's minds with computer-based beats, whiny vocals and contagious energy at their Melodica Festival performance, the three young men of Sydney Confirm are back on stage performing, this time at Club Dada and in a billing that looks ripe for dancing.
D Numbers, of Santa Fe, swings through the region as part of its regular touring schedule, offering an instrumental sound weird enough to make a Michel Gondry film soundtrack and catchy enough to be entrancing. Dallas' Sunward, meanwhile, looks like a band worth keeping an eye on; its melodic and catchy indie pop sounds are respectable listens, and, perhaps better yet, danceable in that as-only-seen-on-modern-scripted-television-teen-drama way. In fact, this whole billing kinda fits that oddball description. You might not know these bands too well, but they're all pretty cool. If The O.C. were still on the air and these bands weren't (mostly) local acts just trying to make it, Seth Cohen and Co. would head to see them perform at the Bait Shop, as brought to you by the FOX network.
In a week in which most of the best hometown acts are performing down in Austin, this show ain't a bad diversion.

Yesterday it turns out that Airbus completed its first aerial refuelling using its in-house designed boom – a wet contact, in the inimitable phraseology of the tanking trade. Pix below of a Portugese F-16 being the proud recipient. The A330MRTT in the exercise is destined for the Royal Australian Air Force in a few months time. Complete text of press release below the pix.
Press release text:
An Airbus Military A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) fitted with the Air Refuelling Boom System (ARBS) successfully performed the first in-flight refuelling with two F16s from the Portuguese Air Force on 21st October. This first "wet contact" using the advanced in-house designed boom system demonstrates that the refuelling system is well integrated into the airframe, with all systems functioning satisfactorily. It also validates the fuel transfer capability of the A330 MRTT to receiver planes through this refuelling means, as tested on the ground in early September.
The flight lasted four hours and 30 minutes, during which a total of 13 contacts were performed, with more than 1.5 tonnes of fuel being transferred.
The A330 MRTT used for the exercise is the first for the Royal Australian Air Force, which is
due to be handed over to the customer by mid 2010. Flight test of the second A330 MRTT for
Australia is progressing well in Brisbane where the aircraft has been modified by Qantas. The
third aircraft is already in Brisbane, with conversion work due to start shortly. In total, five have been ordered by the RAAF, with another 23 by three other nations, bringing the total to 28 A330MRTTs ordered.
The Airbus Military Boom is the most advanced refuelling system available today, and is unique in its kind. Located underneath the rear fuselage of the tanker aircraft, it is remotely controlled from a console in the cockpit, where an operator uses an advanced technology two – threedimensional viewing system. This gives safer operation and a reduced workload for the boomoperator, while enabling the tanker crew to be located together.
The boom is equipped with a full fly-by-wire flight control system which is unique in its kind, and has demonstrated outstanding handling qualities through the whole envelope.
Refuelling can be done at any altitude up to 35,000 ft while cruising at speeds between 180 and 325 kt, in all weather, day or night, thanks, among others, to its stereoscopic vision and lighting systems. The fuel transfer rate of the boom is up to 1,200 US gal/min (4,500 l/min) at 50 psi. This high rate of transfer greatly reduces the refuelling operation time.
The boom is 17metres long when fully extended. It is equipped with an automatic load
alleviation system, has auto-disconnect envelope for each receiver, and has been designed
under the back-up concept (fail operational, fail safe). Secure communication is possible though the boom. It requires on-condition maintenance only.
On-ground refuelling tests through the conventional hose and drogue system had already
successfully been conducted in September, transferring more than 200 tonnes of fuel.

Refuelling in the air, it seems the aeronautic sphere took the inspiration from the spatial sphere. An innovation for the aircraft.

Why do we use adverbials?
We use adverbs to give more information about the verb.
We use adverbials of manner to say how something happens or how something is done:
The children were playing happily.
He was driving as fast as possible.
We use adverbials of place to say where something happens:
I saw him there.
We met in London.
We use adverbials of time to say when or how often something happens:
They start work at six thirty.
They usually go to work by bus.
We use adverbials of probability to show how certain we are about something.
- Perhaps the weather will be fine.
- He is certainly coming to the party.
Try these tasks to practice your use of adverbials.

Hi Kirk
I figured it out myself I got.
Thanks for helping out
wilson colaco replied on India Permalink
Hi Kirk
Still not getting the Adverbials 1 correct if there is place where the answer need to be typed accurately please let me know, as I'm getting confused on it. for e.g. Adverbials of manner:
Alice said goodnight to the children and quietly shut the bedroom door. (1 word) where do I type the adverb quietly without any space.
wilson colaco replied on India Permalink
Hi Peter M
Well for example in Adverbials 1 the first e.g. Alice said goodnight to the children and quietly shut the bedroom door. the adverb here is clearly "quietly" but when it is mentioned below the sentence it gives me a wrong so how should one enter the reply
Hi Wilson,
That's strange - I just did the exercise myself; leaving only the word "quietly" (as you correctly suggest) and then pressing the Finish button, I got the answer correct. I did the same using the Check Answers button and got the same result.
Did you perhaps leave a space or other characters (e.g. (1 word)) in your answer?

Hi Kirk
Well I tired to answer the Adverbials 1, even after giving the right answer it gives be a that I'm wrong is it the placement of the answer only this part is a bit confusing can you clarify?
Hi Wilson,
I'm not sure what you mean. I've tested the activity and it seems to be working fine, recognising the correct answers whatever order I put them in. Could you let us know what exactly happened, please? Which words in which columns were marked as incorrect? We'll see if we can replicate the problem.

The Learn English team,
When we make questions in passive voice, What form we should put the infinitive? past participle or present simple???
Hi Thari,
Have you seen our active and passive voice and question forms pages? Please be sure to look for answers to your questions on the site before asking - there is a search box to help you find answers. And when ask a question, please ask it on a relevant page (e.g. a question about verbs should go on a page related to verbs, not adverbials) and make it as specific as possible and with an example if possible.
Thanks and best wishes,
The LearnEnglish Team
Tharindu lakshan replied on Sri Lanka Permalink
The Learn English team,
* He do it very well.
*He does it very well.
What is the correct one?
Hello Tharindu,
'He does it very well' is correct. 'He' is a third-person form, and so 'does' is needed.
Best wishes,
The LearnEnglish Team

Services Monitoring
I have some "mail" server that are only MTA. I have no IMAP or POP3 services installed.
So in the ISP monitoring interface, a got error, because of those services that are "offline".
I would like to put the server in green anyway, or disable the check of those services on that server...
I know that it's not possible "easily" but is it possible to do that without modifying too much code?
Thank you !
You will have to modify the function monitorServices in the file /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/monitor_tools.inc.php

A DANGEROUS HARBOR (A Romantic Mystery Sailing Trilogy Book 1) Editorial Reviews: Synopsis"I've been married so many times, they should revoke my license," says NY model, and reluctant pilot Lalla Bains. Running her dad's Crop-Dusting business in Modesto, California she's hoping to dodge the inevitable fortieth birthday party. But when her trophy red '58 Cadillac is found tail-fins up in a nearby lake, the police ask why a widowed piano teacher, who couldn't possibly see beyond the hood ornament, was found strapped in the driver's seat. Reeling from an interrogation with local homicide, Lalla is determined to extricate herself as a suspect in this strange murder case. Unfortunately, drug running pilots, a cross-dressing convict, a crazy Chihuahua, and the dead woman's hunky nephew throw enough road blocks to keep Lalla neck deep in an investigation that links her family to a twenty-year old murder only she can solve. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Wise-cracking detectives--from the rank amateurs who somehow stumble into the practice of investigating, to the licensed professionals with their fancy gizmos and snazzy Yellow Pages listings--are a dime a dozen in mystery novels... but a wise-cracking, ex-fashion-model, crop-dusting sleuth? That puts a quirky new spin on the genre, in R.P. Dahlke's peppy debut, A Dead Red Cadillac. A Dead Red Cadillac may be Dahlke's first published work, but it doesn't read that way; the author is assured in her storytelling, crafting a witty, breezy, and thoroughly-entertaining lark peppered with interesting characters in a unique setting... and even tossing in some (much-appreciated) surprising twists along the way. The Literate Kitty Blog spot 1/21/12 "Ex model and motorhead, Lalla Bains, pilots us through a murder investigation with more twists and turns than the coast highway and with an ending more satisfying than the purr of a perfectly tuned '58 Cadillac." Lesley Diehl, author of A Deadly Draught, Mainly Murder Press; Dumpster Dying, Oak Tree Press "Fresh and fun! With its engaging, down-on-her-luck sleuth, homicidal Caddy and a decades-old mystery, R.P. Dahlke's promising debut, A DEAD RED CADILLAC, will keep you turning those pages and guessing wrong right up to its surprising conclusion." Kris Neri, Lefty Award-nominated author of REVENGE FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE "Fast paced and fun with an outwardly tough but inwardly vulnerable lady-pilot, drug smuggling and plenty of eccentric characters."

Fresh batteries in smoke detectors alert Freeport family to fire
Updated On: Jan 15 2014 12:04:33 PM EST
A Freeport couple and their three children were able to escape their burning home early Wednesday morning because smoke detectors inside the house had fresh batteries, Fire Chief Darrell Fournier said.
Fournier said new batteries had been installed in the smoke detectors just a few weeks ago.
Fire crews were called to 17 Griffin Rd. shortly after 4:30 a.m. The family and their dog got out safely but the family cat died, Fournier said. A Freeport firefighter was treated and released at a local hospital.
Investigators traced the cause of the fire to an electric heater in a basement bedroom. Fournier said either the heater malfunctioned or combustibles were left too close to it.

When fire crews arrived, the basement was engulfed in flames. Fournier said the house and its contents were destroyed. He estimated damage at $125,000.
Engines from several departments were called in to assist.
The fire was knocked down quickly, but firefighters remained on scene for several hours putting out hot spots.

SpeaQualiser: Because graphic equalizers make great party props
Equalizers are hip — no longer meant only for computers and high-end audio equipment. Just take a look at the SpeaQualiser Raver and Chiller, which join the likes of the equalizer watch and other products. The SpeaQualiser looks like a picture frame, but it's really a fairly standard equalizer. It has a built-in microphone that will pick up sounds and display a corresponding frequency.
The SpeaQualiser could be a great party prop, though it's not like the other 99 percent of your will improve much if you get it. The Chiller comes in calmer colors, while the Raver comes in brighter colors. The frames are available for $40.
