text: The FIA Formula 3 European Championship has attracted a fully subscribed entry with 30 cars representing 12 teams. These young motor sport hopefuls will go head-to-head all over Europe in the 10 events on the calendar with three races per meeting. And the reward? A test in a Scuderia Ferrari F1 car, but above all the determination to make the most of this opportunity to show off their talent in a field that combines both quality and quantity.

Analytics Prose - words from Google Analytics professionals
Google Analytics Goes Big with GA Premium + BigQuery
Today is a big day. I bought a house and one of the most exciting things yet for Google Analytics was announced! This afternoon (May 16th) at Google I/O, Google Analytics announced plans for a direct integration between Google Analytics Premium and Google BigQuery. This powerful integration will enable users of the Premium edition of GA to gain a deep view into huge sets of unsampled digital analytics data. I am extremely excited about this because it finally unlocks the immense volumes of marketing and behavioral data within Google Analytics for deep exploration and analysis. I've written before about some ...
A byte or a bite?
I've been in Haiti for 5 full days now. I have a ton of thoughts so far, but one big, pervasive one that won't go away is the juxtaposition of needs. Last Saturday I was walking down a half paved (yes, half, as in one lane was paved and the other one wasn't) street straddled by a tent city where thousands of people live on less than a dollar per day day. All around me are people carrying cellphones, and down the street drives a shiny, brand new VolksWagon SUV. The Bus Ride
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: Google Tag Manager Planning
In the not-so-distant past, Google got into the tag management game with the aptly named Google Tag Manager (aka GTM). What Google has done with GTM is create an easy-to-use management platform for measurement and conversion tags based on a user-friendly web-based interface (get our initial take on GTM here). Now that we've had the opportunity to step through a few Google Tag Manager implementations we wanted to share some thoughts on what the best path to realizing the benefits of GTM looks like. Plan Now, Celebrate Later Google Tag Manager is an incredibly easy tool to ...
Of Data and People
Lately I've been enamored with the notion that digital analytics data is a powerful and unique means to come closer to the people the data tries to describe. I've recently defined this into a mission statement for Analytics Pros that we "narrow the distance between our clients and their customers." At its core this concept is relies on the principle that data describes something: in the case of digital analytics for web sites and mobile apps, that "something" is usually the users of that app, i.e. people. At the same time, I'm also concerned that it is far too easy ...
Direct Advice on Direct Traffic
Direct traffic may feel like an indicator that many people really like you, but don't be fooled. "Direct Traffic" is a bit of a misnomer and does not always indicate people who came directly to your site. Knowing the true meaning of these numbers is key to understanding your analytics data. The "Direct" Misnomer Now that I've blown your mind saying that direct traffic may not be direct at all, what exactly does Google Analytics consider "direct"? A session is tracked as "direct" as a catch-all category. It's just like your kitchen junk drawer - the place you ...
BEST Practices for Google Analytics Conference

If you are looking to learn more about Google Analytics best practices, the strategies of leading companies, and the newest GA features, join us at BEST Practices for Google Analytics, a new conference series presented by Analytics Pros. Designed for those who want to be engaged, strategic and trained - BEST Practices is a place where people can come together to engage in their Google Analytics, become strategic about ...
An Easier Way to Share Advanced Segments
Advanced Segments are hands-down one of the most powerful features in Google Analytics. But, if you use GA in a collaborative environment (i.e. you're not stuck in a cave or under a rock somewhere) and you need to share segments, you'll know that's a hard thing to do. Even more, sharing a specific report with a specific segment applied is harder still. Well... actually, there's a trick that has made my life a lot easier, and I'm going to show it to you :) Here's a screencast showing how ...
Understanding the Digital Impact of a TV Ad with GA Premium
Oh television. Sometimes I forget it even exists. The number of times I've watched something on an actual TV in the last year is probably lower than the number of kids I have (4 kids, to give you perspective). We do watch screens - but it's all iPad or iMac based viewing. So, when a digitally obsessed person like me thinks about TV ads there's a tendency to think they are irrelevant. Not so. And I should know better. In reality, I have to remember ...

PKG_CHECK(1) BSD Reference Manual PKG_CHECK(1)
pkg_check - shell interface to pkgtools matching routines
pkg_check version1 op version2 pkg_check [-q] -m pattern pkgname ...
The pkg_check command provides functions to check package versions in MirPorts. It is meant to be called from scripts, not directly from the command line. There are two distinct modes of operation. The first one, which takes three arguments, compares the two version strings version1 and version2. The second argument, the operator, is one of <, >, <=, >= or the text equivalents lt, gt, le and ge. The exit code is 0 if the comparison is true or 1 if it is false. The second mode allows to check whether one or more package names pkgname match the pattern given as the argument to the -m flag. Unless -q (quiet) is given, the matching package names are written to standard output, one per line. The exit status is 0 if there was at least one match, 1 other- wise.
pkg_check 1.4.5 ge 2.0 returns 1. pkg_check 23.42-0 '<' 23.42-5 returns 0. pkg_check -m 'autoconf->=2.50' autoconf-2.13 autoconf-2.62 prints "autoconf-2.62".

Viewpoint: Does Singapore deserve its 'miserable' tag?
Singapore's reputation as a wealthy, aspirational and hi-tech country ensures it attracts a great deal of foreign talent - so why is it labelled the world's least positive country?
It was Christmas, but as my husband and I waited for our luggage in the shiny arrivals hall of Changi airport, the internet delivered tidings of no joy.
"Check this out," posted one friend on my Facebook wall, with a link to a survey of 148 countries in which Singaporeans were revealed to be the least positive people on earth.
We were at the bottom of the happy pile along with Iraqis, Armenians and Serbians. "Good luck in misery city!" he wrote.
Over the next few months a happiness battle kicked off around us. Singapore's politicians reinforced their commitment to well-being and Starhub - a mobile network provider - launched an advertising campaign called "happiness everywhere", full of smiling Singaporeans dancing to plinky-plonky guitar music.
On the other side there emerged, mostly on the internet, an army of discontented souls who applauded the survey for validating their sense that life just seems to be getting harder and more expensive as Singapore gets richer.
Personally, I chose to ignore the public hyperbole and concentrate on what I encountered personally. And sure enough we have found plenty of apparent happiness.
In the free public barbecue pits of Singapore's beautifully kept parks, for example - always full of jolly families and groups of friends enjoying an evening in the tropical heat over a coolbox of beer.
And in the broad, toothless grin of the septuagenarian vendor at our local food court, who served me my daily dose of delicious, fresh pineapple juice.
And at dinners with our Singaporean friends who did not seem to moan any more than the rest of us - sure they are battling soaring property prices and the tedium of the corporate ladder, but coming from London that was hardly unfamiliar.
We got on with life on the immaculate island, where social housing estates look like spotless toy towns, crime is pretty much non-existent and you can get a delicious bowl of noodles for $3 (£1.50). If we were living in the misery capital of the world it certainly was not affecting our own sense of happiness.
From Our Own Correspondent

Until I got pregnant.
Ten weeks of morning sickness ensued, turning my daily commute into a 45-minute gauntlet.
One morning the nausea finally got the better of me just as I had stepped on to a packed train. Worried I was going to faint, I crouched to the floor, holding my head in my hands.
And so I remained, completely ignored, for the full 15 minutes it took to reach my station. Nobody offered me seat or asked me if I was OK.
For the first time Singapore had made me feel unhappy. I had been vulnerable - completely reliant on the kindness of strangers. Singaporeans, I felt, had let me down.
As I sat recovering on the platform, I wondered if this was part of the story behind those Gallup poll results. By this time a follow-up to the original survey had been published and according to the figures, Singapore had apparently cheered up quite a lot.
But all I could see was a massive compassion deficit. Or were my fellow passengers that day just unusually uncaring?
"Oh no, I am not surprised at all," said a Singaporean friend later that day. "My sister is seven months pregnant and she fell down a packed escalator the other day and had to crawl to the nearest railing to heave herself up. Nobody helped."
Agree or disagree?
- Tell us using the form at the bottom of the page
- We will publish a selection of views
Another Singaporean friend was equally unsurprised. "I slipped down a drain last year and cut my leg," she said. "It was bleeding badly but nobody stopped to help. Perhaps they were all in a rush."
Our friend Marcus offered deeper analysis over brunch in a trendy retro cafe. That is not his real name by the way - in this authoritarian democracy, the majority of people are very reluctant to go on the record with anything remotely negative about Singapore.
And negative Marcus is: "We are programmed to think only about ourselves," he exclaimed. "The only thing that matters is money - helping people is not important."
Marcus is Chinese Singaporean but was educated in Canada. After five years back home he is desperate to leave again, because, he says, Singapore makes him unhappy too.
"In Canada people were helpful and friendly and they respect each other regardless of whether you are a manager or a bus driver.
"The problem here is that we measure everything in dollar bills - personal identity, self-respect, happiness, your sense of worth - it is all linked to how much money you have. But only the top few per cent earn serious cash - so everyone else feels worthless and apathetic."
We went on to discuss the numerous theories about whether it is materialism making Singaporeans unhappy or uncaring - or the fiercely competitive education system, or Confucianism, or the government's historic emphasis on economic growth above all else.
More misery on the Magazine
The debate certainly has not gone away despite the latest set of survey results.
Happily my morning sickness has passed, but despite becoming visibly pregnant, it was still rare for anyone to offer me a seat on the packed commuter train without my having to ask first.
I do not know if I would have had a better time in London, but in the Singaporean rat race you are certainly on your own. An unhappy conclusion, I am afraid, from misery city.

Here is a selection of your comments.
I agree with you totally. I had a similar experience. I just finished a 40km cycle event and was puking my guts out at a typical large black open type dustbin. I didn't expect anyone to help out but neither did I expect anyone to disregard my presence and predicament and to brush me aside and continue to throw rubbish in front of my face.
I strongly disagree. When my wife was pregnant, she was always offered a seat in the MRT trains in Singapore by the commuters. It was other way round for us that it was rare that my wife was not offered a seat. Every place has got its own pros and cons. I always felt that Singapore had more pros than cons.
I've certainly experienced a similar situation. One day when my feet were really hurting, I couldn't find a seat on the subway. So I slithered down a pole to sit on the floor. It embarrassed the people who saw me: one standing passenger immediately moved away from me, while a few stations later another passenger mentioned there was a seat I could use. Now I do things differently. Since I'm over 60, when I'm really tired I go to one of the reserved seats, point to the 'reserved' sign above it, and ask for the seat. The passenger invariably stares at me in amazement, but I'm able to sit down.
I am a Singaporean by birth, residing in Singapore. I like to relate a personal story that happened in my childhood. I was in a Fun Fair and spotted a wallet near a rubbish bin. I took it the nearest police station against my mother's warning not to involve since police will take me as a suspect. Due to my childhood naiveness, I wanted to help the poor person who lost the wallet. While I was in the police post, I saw a daughter and mother reporting about the lost wallet and the police confirmed that the wallet that I have returned belongs to them. Immediately, the the eyes of the victim, mother and the police gave me a fright. At that moment, I felt that my mother was right and I should not have bothered to return the wallet. I was told to fill my particulars and to report to the police if the victim wanted to take a legal recourse. That bitter lesson taught never to assist anyone. Many years have passed but the bitter lesson that I have learned remains.
I have had similar experiences before. I was in a train travelling from the city to the north, and a young lady dropped to the floor moaning with pain because she was suffering from leg cramps. I immediately went to her aid in the crowded train, and everyone else just simply stared at me, on the floor with the young lady, all the way to her destination, which was 20 minutes away. I helped her off the train into the train station before alerting the station personnel. You may conclude immediately that I would agree with your assessment that this is an uncaring society (like those other people who repeated cliché statements about the Singaporean society). Not so. You see, I am the National Director of Habitat for Humanity Singapore, past of an international Christian charity fighting poverty around the world. In the course of my work, I am with volunteers from all walks of life in Singapore, and I see this society as anything but uncaring. The key reason why you were not helped was not because the people were uncaring. It was more because the people did not know what to do, or were afraid to stand out of the crowd.
I have been a resident of Singapore for 5 years now and "misery" is not a word that enters my mind when I think of Singapore. "Boring" maybe, "Bloody Hot" definitely! But certainly not miserable! What surprised me most in reading this article was that Ms. Ashton's "revelation" of misery came after she became pregnant because for me it was the EXACT opposite. When I was pregnant, I found that people could not have been kinder and more caring, both at work and elsewhere. My colleagues looked out for me and pampered me,(carrying things for me, urging me to rest) while in public, people would frequently motion me to sit if I were standing on the bus (which by the way, continues even now when I am travelling with my son), some restaurants would be extra considerate in making me comfortable, one of them extending their kitchen hours even though we had arrived late.
I was prompted to respond to this after an incident that happened earlier today. Here's my story: my car just broke down on Holland Road, a busy road in Singapore, in rush hour, in the middle of a heavy rainstorm with thunder and lightning. It was 'change shift' time so no cabs were stopping. I had my kids with me, my helper and a pile of school bags and all their swimming gear. A lady - a complete stranger - stopped her car, picked up my kids and my helper, and drove them all the way home (Upper Thomson Road - about 10km) while I waited for the tow truck. It was out of her way and she didn't have to pick up a stranger's kids. There are not enough words to say how thankful I am to her. Then, the lady whose house I broke down outside came out with a glass of water for me, and kept me company while I waited. Who says there is no kindness or compassion here? I think my story blows that generalisation right out of the water.

text: In the boom years it is easy to forget to ask the basic questions, like can I really own some sand?Dubai was and is many things to many people, however it is not what many who have never stepped foot in the place assumed it was. It is a land for the local Emirati population and in particular those from the ruling or connected families. It is not a democracy nor does it have a consistent or equally enforced legal system. The saying goes, if you're in a fight with a local and you win, you will still loose. However Dubai does not pretend anything to the contrary, what you see is what you get and it seems the holders of Dubai World debt were not looking. With this in mind it is hardly surprising the buyers of Nakeel Sukuk will be left with worthless pieces of certificates, or at very best a massive write down. Hardly good news for the troubled British Banking holders (HSBC, RBS, Barclays) of much of this toxic debt. What is surprising is why they did not consider Dubai world a private company or comprehend should the worst ever happen what their fall back would be in a asset based Sukuk. It turns out the asset backing the Sukuk is a few strips of desert land which by local Emirati law foreigners are not allowed to own in any case. Add to this folly, Barclay's advice to its clients a few weeks prior to the stand still announcement to buy more Dubai debt. Barclays is majority owned by an extension of the Qatari Royal Family and it would have been fully aware of potential negatives on the horizon as the Dubai Government had been knocking on its door heavily throughout 2009 for it to buy more Dubai debt. Qatar is well positioned to reap from Dubai's and its bond-holders pain as it seeks to bolster the flagging Qatar Financial Centre.To assist on the restructuring of its debt, Dubai World has chosen the pre-eminent institution that is Rothschild's. Rothschild's needs no introduction and throughout history has often profited from others loss. It is baffling why with a host of capable investment banks available regionally Rothschild's was chosen. It is said the Emir of Qatar sold out to the Americans to fund the coup against his father, let's hope Dubai has not sold out to the powers that are Rothschild's in order to keep afloat.

On these pages, I recently wrote about Andrea Hernandez, a 15-year-old sophomore at a science and engineering magnet school in Texas, who was threatened with expulsion for failing to wear a school-mandated RFID spychip tracking badge. (Here is the original blog). Ms. Hernandez equated the use of the spychip and continuous monitoring by school authorities with the "mark of the beast" spoken of in Revelation 13:16-17. As a result of her failing to wear the spychip, she was suspended from her high school, and went to federal court winning a preliminary injunction to continue her studies without the tag until a final decision was made by federal Judge Orlando Garcia.
Judge Garcia, a Clinton appointee, issued his decision earlier this week, and ruled against Ms. Hernandez, saying that if she is to stay at her high school, then she must wear the spychip. The school district, recognizing that Ms. Hernandez was an otherwise serious student who is not disruptive, offered to allow her to wear the student identification badge without the chip. However, Ms. Hernandez presumes that such an "accommodation" would cause her to violate her integrity. Otherwise, Judge Garcia ruled that if she refuses to wear the spychip, then she can transfer to a new school. Judge Garcia wrote, "[Ms. Hernandez's] objection to wearing the Smart ID badge without a chip is clearly a secular choice, rather than a religious choice. . . The accommodation offered by the district removes [her] religious objection from legal scrutiny all together."
Ms. Hernandez, through her attorneys at the Rutherford Institute, said she will appeal Judge Garcia's decision immediately based upon violations of her First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Interestingly, it is a basic principle of American jurisprudence that government officials may not scrutinize or even question the validity of an individual's religious belief, not matter how non-mainstream or even absurd it might seem to a non-believer. In this case, Judge Garcia, by declaring that Ms. Hernandez's objections to be a secular choice and not grounded in her religious beliefs, ironically placed himself as the ultimate arbiter of what is or is not "religious" to Ms. Hernandez.
In the meantime, what is clear is that Ms. Hernandez has been penalized and discriminated against by school officials who object to her sincerely held religious beliefs, by being forced to participate in the district's spychip program. I went to high school a number of years ago, but in my generation and at my high school, few of us would have worn the spychip in protest, whether Christian or not. I will continue to monitor this interesting story as developments warrant.

I'm a software developer by passion.
I started working in a big international company but got tired of the slow paced development and and now I work on the startup scale companies. I worked on online gambling, internet of things and software as a service companies.
My first payed job was in Java and after passing some time as an Android developer I settled as a Node until my next challenge.
In the end of the day I'm passionate about creating beautiful, functional, and maintainable code.


text: Hi all, I've taken some time to go over all the pages in the website to evaluate where we are currently and what should be fixed on short-term with the current site. I've fixed most issues myself, but these issues require input from the developers. Please respond to the website list only. Issues with the current site ============================ General pages: ------------- * /search.html: in the search results page, the search box should be on the bottom. * /irc.html: The list is now probably out-of-date. LFS pages: ---------- * lfs/roadmap.html: This page is seriously out of date. However, the roadmap should be written by the LFS editors & discussed and approved by the community. I'd like to ask everyone to add their thoughts to <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/index.php?pagename=Roadmap>. * lfs/development.html: currently instructions are given for specific branches. However, we should probably give instructions to download stable, testing or unstable. * lfs/packages.html: I'm not sure if the book refers to this page. However, it might be useful to include some information in the book itself, since we occasionaly still get questions about this. For the P2P part; it might be better to standardise on Bittorrent. BLFS pages: ----------- * blfs/edguide/guide.html: this seems to be out-of-date. IIRC Bruce greatly improved it. Bruce, can you re-render the latest version in /home/httpd/www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/edguide/guide.html? Thanks * Where is the BLFS roadmap? Can the BLFS editors provide one? ALFS pages: ----------- * alfs/news.html: it seems like this page needs to be moved from CVS to SVN commit log tracking. Also, the order is old->new, while it should be new->old. Anderson? * Roadmap: can the Wiki roadmap be incorporated in the site? * Download/Current SVN: the tarball dates from 6 September and thus seems to be out-of-date. Or does the tarball only get generated if there are code changes? * Download/Profiles and All Guides: idem. HLFS pages: ----------- Where is the latest version of the HLFS book? Patches: -------- Download/Patches for BLFS (patches/blfs/) is empty. Should this be regenerated from the repository or should the link be adjusted? -- Groeten/Greetings, Jeroen Coumans {faq,email@example.com www.jeroencoumans.nl

Corporate responsibility
At UBS, corporate responsibility means 'doing the right thing' - both now and in the future. Our commitment to this is incorporated in the principles and standards set out in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. These apply to all aspects of our business and the ways in which we engage with our stakeholders - from the products and services we offer our clients, our management of environmental and social risks, to the way we protect the well-being of our employees. Corporate responsibility is embedded at every level helping us to adopt a responsible and sustainable approach to doing business while underlining our desire to contribute to the communities in which we do business.
We understand that to be taken seriously as a responsible corporate citizen takes time, and that a solid and proven track record counts for more than a series of quick wins. We have such a track record. The guiding principles and standards set out in our Code of Conduct shape our business activities and all our dealings with our stakeholders including clients, colleagues, shareholders, regulators and business partners. But our commitment to acting in a responsible and sustainable manner extends much wider than that. In 1992, we were one of the first banks to sign up to the UN Environment Program's Bank Declaration (UNEP FI). In 2000, we were among the first companies to sign the UN Global Compact, the largest corporate responsibility initiative globally to date. We co-founded the Wolfsberg Group, an association of 11 global banks committed to setting the standards to combat global financial crime. More recently, we co-launched the Thun Group of Banks' discussion paper on banking and human rights which examines the ways in which our industry can effectively implement the UN's Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Although neither of their FW34s finished Sunday's Australian race, Williams left Melbourne feeling decidedly upbeat about the potential of the car. The British teams chief operations engineer Mark Gillan discusses the Melbourne weekend
Q: Is Pastor Maldonado okay after his crash, and how much damage is there to the chassis?
Mark Gillan: Yes Pastor is fine and the chassis stood up well to the impact. We damaged the front wing, nose and other body work but the chassis is undamaged.
Q: How would you sum up the performance of the FW34 around Albert Park?
MG: The FW34 performance was as we were expecting in qualifying and our relative race pace was perhaps slightly better than expected and very encouraging going forwards into the new season.
Q: Did Pirelli's medium and soft-compound tyres pose any problems?
MG: No both tyres worked well.
Q: How did the wet weather on Friday affect your preparations for the weekend?
MG: The wet conditions obviously limited the base mechanical and aero set-up work that one could perform in addition to limiting any longer runs on the dry tyres which are typically done throughout Friday to allow one to predict race tyre wear and degradation.
Q: Albert Park is regarded by some people as unrepresentative of the other tracks on the calendar. Is this a view you share?
MG: I agree that one typically needs to review the relative pace of the car after the fourth race in order to get a balanced view of the cars' general performance, but from both winter testing and this first race one can develop a reasonable perspective.
Q: Looking ahead to next weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix, how do you expect the FW34 to perform?
MG: I expect us to be strong once more and the team can't wait for the event to start.
Q: How does the team prepare technically for the heat and humidity of Sepang?
MG: By drinking lots of water and avoiding as much sun as possible.

Our lives are ruled by numbers which set our
Destiny. Knowing these Numbers that influence and rule our lives,
we can find Success and build Wealth. In the Occult Arts Numbers
and Sacred Geometry's are very important in making things happen.
I Puzuzu a Numerologist will now give you your own personal Numerology
Reading and yes it will be done by me personally, and not anyone else. This
will be a very lengthy and detailed reading, anywhere from 60 to over 140 pages
long. I will tell you things about you from the day you were born to the years
ahead. This is not a reading where you ask a question. It is a reading of your
whole life according to your Numbers. Below is a list of all the subjects
I will give you. Plus, if you request a Reading from me, I will give you your
Personal Years, Personal Months, and a Day to Day Forecast at no extra cost!
Subjects that will be covered:
LIFE PATH NUMBER- The Life Path number
gives us a broad outline of the opportunities, challenges, and lessons we will
encounter in this lifetime.
BIRTHDAY NUMBER - The day you
were born bears great significance in understanding who you are and where your
talents lie.
EXPRESSION NUMBER - Your Expression
number reveals your physical and mental constitution, the orientation or goals
of your life. Thus, the Expression number reveals your inner goal, the person
you aim to be.
MINOR EXPRESSION NUMBER - The Minor
Expression number is based on the current (or short) name; the name you now
use to introduce yourself including your last name. The influence of the short
name is minor in comparison to your full name.
HEART'S DESIRE NUMBER - Your Heart's
Desire is the inner you. It shows your underlying urge, your true motivation.
It reveals the general intention behind many of your actions.
MINOR HEART'S DESIRE NUMBER - The Minor
Heart's Desire number is derived from the vowels of your current name; the name
you now use to introduce yourself. It affects how you feel about yourself; it
changes your identity slightly.
PERSONALITY NUMBER - Your Personality
number is derived from the consonants of your full name at birth. Your
Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what
you send out, as well as what you allow to approach.
MATURITY NUMBER - Your Maturity number
indicates an underlying wish or desire that gradually surface around age thirty
to thirty-five. This underlying goal begins to emerge as you gain a better
understanding of yourself.
L/E BRIDGE NUMBER - The Bridge numbers
in your chart are the numbers that indicate how you can make the relationship
between the individual core numbers in your chart easier and more compatible.
Bridge numbers have the potential to "close the gap" between the Life Path and
Expression number, or the Heart's Desire and Personality number.
H/P BRIDGE NUMBER - The Bridge number
relates to your Heart's Desire number and your Personality number.
KARMIC LESSONS NUMBER - Karmic lessons
are areas that we are currently weak in and must be faced and worked on in this
life. There can be more than one Karmic Lesson. You may have several
Karmic Lessons. These are indicated by the absence of certain numbers in your
HIDDEN PASSION NUMBER - Your Hidden
Passion reveals one or more special strengths and talents that you rely upon
and are available to you.
- Each of us experiences life on several different
levels: our mental faculty; our emotional makeup; and our intuition.
BALANCE NUMBER - Your Balance number
provides you with the guidance on how best to deal with difficult or threatening
RATIONAL THOUGHT NUMBER - Your Rational
Thought number reveals what can probably best be described as the way you think.
CORNERSTONE NUMBER - The first letter
of your first name gives an additional indication to your character, particularly
as to the manner in which you approach opportunities and obstacles. The
first letter is called your Cornerstone.
SUBCONSCIOUS SELF NUMBER - Your Subconscious
Self reveals how you react to demanding situations. It indicates your
ability to get the most out of your talents and opportunities, especially when
you face new or challenging circumstances.
CHALLENGES NUMBER - There are four
Challenges to be faced during our lives. For many of us, the same challenge
is repeated, while others have four
distinctly different lessons to learn.
PINNACLES NUMBER - The Pinnacles are
four long-term cycles, or periods, on our Life Path. Each Pinnacle represents
a particular lesson we are working on.
CYCLES NUMBER - There are three
great divisions or cycles of our lives, they are ruled by what age we are.
TRANSITS NUMBER - The Transits are
the individual letters of your name that combine to form the Essence, which
is the number that reveals a great deal about your year ahead.
ESSENCE NUMBER - The Transits are the
individual letters of your name that combine to form the Essence, which is the
number that reveals a great deal about your year ahead.

You get
2 personal years.
PERSONAL MONTHS NUMBER - This will tell you about your Months ahead. You get 2 years of personal
PERSONAL DAYS NUMBER - This will tell you about your Days ahead. You get 2 years
of personal days.

EJ Hersom/Staff photographer Philbrick's Sports Center at 161 Portland Road in Dover also has a website of the same name. Owner Dan Philbrick argues the name has been hijacked by an Internet marketing firm on the West Coast.
Dan Philbrick may have lost the first round in his legal battle against Internet giant eNom over using a domain name similar to that of his Dover store, but he's ready to come out swinging in round two.Philbrick said he has put some $300,000 of his money into the lawsuit already and plans to appeal the decision handed down last month in U.S. District Court in Concord � a decision that "didn't make sense" and "just blew me away," he told NHBR."It's not about the money, but the principle. I worked some 25 years to build up our business, and I'm not going to let these guys steal it away," he said.Philbrick is the owner of Philbrick's Sports Center at 161 Portland Road in Dover, and a sports equipment website.Philbrick's Sports had charged that eNom was hijacking the company's well-advertised name and the Web traffic meant to go its site, sending potential customers instead to competitors selling hockey equipment, and even sites peddling sex toys.But U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante threw out the case, ruling that the "Philbrick's Sports" wasn't famous or unique enough to warrant protection and the company didn't give enough evidence to make a case.Philbrick, owner of Philbrick's Sports since 1983, registered the domain name philbrickssports.com, and a couple of variants, in the late 1990s. But in January 2007, Philbrick encountered the site philbricksports.com, different only by the absence of the second "s." The site was entitled welcome to "Welcome to Philbricksports.com," and provided a list of websites advertising various sporting equipment, including hockey equipment. Philbrick maintained that if you put adult in the search engine in the site, you would get pornographic Web sites, and testified that a visitor would be "deceptively sent" to his competitors. But, Laplante ruled, Philbrick "provided no foundation for this testimony." eNom — which said it has some 11 million domain names under registration — maintains it was asked to register the site by a third party named "Rare Names" in November 2005, under its "club drop" program. Since Rare Names didn't actually buy the name, it remained "parked" in an eNom account, with links and a search function. Under an agreement between eNom and Yahoo!, Yahoo! generates the links and other content on eNom's parked Web pages, and eNom receives revenue each time a visitor clicks on one of those links.In August 2007, about a month after the lawsuit was filed, eNom removed all content from philbricksports.com, but retained the domain name, Laplante said. eNom said it had only earned $183.29 from the site.In the middle of this litigation, eNom acquired another domain name, philbrickssports.net, not through a third party, but through a software program that is designed to get names that might generate traffic. Philbrick said that this was proof that eNom was trying to benefit over their famous and distinctive trade name, on which it had spent millions of dollars promoting over the years.But Laplante said that Phibrick's Sports wasn't well known enough to be famous, and even though Philbrick is a rare surname, it is not enough to give it the legal protection of being distinctive, Laplante ruled.Philbrick also didn't make the case that Internet visitors were intentionally deceived, according to the judge, who said there was no evidence that the other Web sites visitors were sent to would be confused with Philbrick's.Not surprisingly, Philbrick disagreed."If my name is worth stealing, it's worth protecting," he said. "When I started out, my dad didn't give me a pick-up truck. He gave me a good name. If this decision stands, they have the right to take that name away from me. That's outrageous. It's about time we bring trade law to the wild wild west of the Internet."

Review by
Ken from St Louis Park, MN
The sound is fantastic and I love being able to plug in an MP3 player or other devices. However... AM reception is non-existent for all practical purposes and FM is not much better. I live in a major metro area and all I can reliably use the system for is pre-recorded music. For any radio reception I was far better off with the factory receiver.
I would not recommend this product to anyone who wants a usable radio.

Reading one these comments reminded me of something.
At a family dinner, somebody mentioned something about the political candidates and a social issue. I then went into homosexuality and their views on that as well. The moment I spoke the word 'homosexual' , my family flipped the fuck out on me and told me there were children around.
I could not have been more offended in front of my family before. They were trying to silence a discussion about something that is perfectly natural to speak about as if the word 'homosexual' had some hidden and magical power to turn their children into raging homo's.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Don't talk about that around the children, they're too young ... !
AND my family is not Christian. It's so disgusting that homophobia is so rampant even among non religious people.
Well, some of the problem is homophobia, but not all of it. There is also hatred of homosexuals, for which we don't seem to have a word as glib as "homophobia," which itself literally means "fear of men or mankind," so even it is used in lieu of a more precise term.
Some may fear gays, but I'm sure some simply hate gays. This woman clearly lives in fear, but I think some of the bashing and murder of gays is driven by hatred more than fear.
And no, not all hatred is fear-based.
..."homophobia," which itself literally means "fear of men or mankind," so even it is used in lieu of a more precise term.
It doesn't. The words 'homophobia' and 'homosexual' were both poorly constructed, but in both cases they use 'homo' in the Greek sense meaning 'same'. 'Phobia' also doesn't refer just to fear. I believe, looking at etymology, fear and flight are the original meanings, but words change. The term can refer to aversion as well, and, in sociological contexts, I think there's a fairly well established sense of the meaning antipathy.
That said, you do raise a good point that there isn't a singular, simplistic explanation for the feelings and motives that drive this sort of behaviour.
@Kris Feenstra Actually "homo" also means self, so "homophobia" also means fear of self. Well, I think fear and hatred are distinct enough to deserve separate words.
Anyway, the point behind the point I was making that gays all too frequently refer to the motive behind attacks as "homophobia," which to me means fear of gays, which is kind of bizarrely optimistic.
Sometimes, however, I think it's just hatred of gays. It's strange we don't have a word for that.
Sometimes, however, I think it's just hatred of gays. It's strange we don't have a word for that.
That's what I was explaining. The word for hatred against homosexuality is still homophobia. It's used in the same sense as Anglophobia
You know what's sad, this isn't even satire.
I'm lost for words on this one.

7th Annual Sports and Entertainment Law Association Symposium Includes Look Back at NFL Lockout
Web Editor
- Published: February 19, 2012
"People feel that you'll take your best negotiating position as close to the deadline as you possibly can get. I know it's frustrating sometimes to watch this process and say, 'Why couldn't it have gone sooner, why couldn't we have gotten this deal in March, why couldn't we have gotten our draft picks signed in May?' It's just the nature of the beast," said Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman in reflecting on the NFL Lockout as part of the
Sports Law in Hindsight: A Dissection of the NFL Lockout
panel at the 7th Annual Sports and Entertainment Law Association Symposium, which took place on Thursday, February 16th in the Ruby R. Vale Moot Courtroom.
The event opened with a welcome from Jonathan White, the Chairman of the symposium, which is presented each year by the student-run
Sports and Entertainment Law Association
under the direction of Widener Law adjunct professor
Alexander Murphy, Jr.
Professor Murphy then introduced Chris Cabott '05, a former student in his class who is now an entertainment, sports and media attorney with the Law Office of Lloyd Z. Remick and Zane Management Inc. of Philadelphia.
Cabott moderated the first panel and introduced Roseman and Andrew Brandt, ESPN's Sports Business Analyst who previously worked as both an NFL executive with the Green Bay Packers and as a player agent. With Cabott facilitating the discussion, Roseman and Brandt reflected on the business and legal issues surrounding the NFL Lockout, spoke briefly about their backgrounds, and offered insights into the process of building an NFL roster.
"It was boring, it was messy, it was a pain, but ultimately it got done," said Brandt of the NFL's CBA negotiations that finally culminated with a deal in July of 2011 following a number of court battles.
When asked about future changes and the likelihood of another labor stoppage when the current CBA expires in ten years, Brandt said that technology would likely provide additional sources of revenue that would need to be looked at, and that social media and player health, particularly concussions, might be issues. "For now, let's celebrate labor peace," he concluded with a smile.
Professor Murphy moderated the second panel of the morning,
How to Become a Great Music Lawyer in One Hour … and Sixty-three Years
, which featured Robert Donnelly, and Kenneth J. Abdo of the Lommen Abdo Law Firm. Abdo is Vice President and Chair of the Entertainment Law Department and has served as legal counsel to a wide range of artists including Hall & Oates, Three Dog Night, Garrison Keilor, and Michelle Branch. Donnelly has spent 35 years as an attorney specializing in the representation of music industry clients and has had clients ranging from the Dave Matthews Band to Rock Hall of Famers The Ronettes and the Lovin' Spoonful.
Following lunch, Murphy moderated the T.V./Film panel,
Reality T.V.: Beyond the Jersey Shore
, which featured
Addicted to Food
Executive Producer John Foy, the Senior Vice President of Shooters TV, and Widener Law alumnus Justin B. Wineburgh '97, head of Cozen O'Connor's Media, Entertainment, and Sports Law practice.
Foy and Wineburgh discussed the anatomy of creating a reality television show from the talent phase to producing, distribution, and exploitation. The wide-ranging discussion touched on talent attachment agreements, and Foy shared a few insights from casting The
Biggest Loser
Beauty and the Geek
The final panel of the day,
Ethics in Intercollegiate Athletics – Lessons Learned
, featured Heather Lyke, Associate Athletic Director at The Ohio State University, and John P. Sahl, Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Miller-Becker Center for Professional Responsibility at the University of Akron School of Law.

5 Value for moneyLordSymos | 05/06/2007 | See all LordSymos's reviews (1)When I was looking at geting a Playstation Portable (PSP), one thing on my mind was a suitable memory stick. At first, I thought it was great that a store had a 1gb stick for £24.99, however my borther advised me to check Play out. I found this memory stick that was twice the size and for less than the 1gb the shop had. It's fully PSP compatible and the adaptor makes it so I don't need to waste battery power by hooking the PSP via a USB cable.
5 Great price, Great card!Sidask8r | 19/05/2007 | See all Sidask8r's reviews (7)Wow, i bought my 2GB memory card 4 months ago and it cost me £50, now exactly the same card at a fraction of the price! Very fast transfer speed, nice blue colour so it's not easily lost, fits most sony products including the walkman phones, PSPs and some cameras.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) constituted by the World Meteorological Organisation provides expert guidance regarding scientific and technical aspects of the climate problem. Since 1990 IPCC has, at five-yearlyintervals, assessedand reported on the current state of knowledge and understanding of the climate issue. These reports have projected the behaviour of the Asian monsoon in the warming world. While the IPCC Second Assessment Report (IPCC, 1996) on climate model projections of Asian/Indian monsoon stated ``Most climate models produce more rainfall over South Asia in a warmer climate with increasing CO2'', the recent IPCC (2001) Third Assessment Report states ``It is likely that the warming associated with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will cause an increase in Asian summer monsoon variability and changes in monsoon strength.''
Climate model projections(IPCC, 2001) also suggest more El Niño – like events in the tropical Pacific, increase in surface temperatures and decrease in the northern hemisphere snow cover. The Indian Monsoon is an important component of the Asian monsoon and its links with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, northern hemisphere surface temperature and Eurasian snow are well documented.
In the light of the IPCC globalwarming projections on the Asian monsoon, the interannual and decadal variability in summer monsoon rainfall over India and its teleconnections have been examined by using observed data for the 131-year (1871–2001) period. While the interannual variations showyear-to-year random fluctuations, thedecadal variations reveal distinct alternate epochs of above and below normal rainfall. The epochs tend to last for about three decades. There is no clear evidence to suggest that the strength and variability of the Indian Monsoon Rainfall (IMR) nor the epochal changes are affected by the global warming. Though the 1990s have been the warmest decade of the millennium(IPCC, 2001), the IMR variability has decreased drastically.
Connections between the ENSO phenomenon, Northern Hemisphere surface temperature and the Eurasian snow with IMR reveal that the correlations are not only weak but have changed signs in the early 1990s suggesting that the IMR has delinked not only with the Pacific but with the Northern Hemisphere/Eurasian continent also. The fact that temperature/snow relationships with IMR are weak further suggests that global warming need not be a cause for the recent ENSO-Monsoon weakening.
Observed snow depth over theEurasian continent has been increasing, which could be a result of enhanced precipitation due to the global warming.

Miami is teeming with successful, hard-working businesspeople whose establishments are integral threads in the fabric of our daily lives. Yet at times it seems that unless they throw a decadent, $700,000 coming-out party, nobody pays them any mind. We pass their fiefdoms every day on the way to work, eat their food, drink their booze, wear their clothes, sport their tattoos, apply for their mortgages, even get spied on by their investigators. But how much do we really know about the folks behind the name on the sign? Take Joe, for example.
According to the Southern Bell telephone directory, Joe (alias Joey, Joseph, and Jose) has amassed an incredibly diverse portfolio that includes three car lots, six auto repair shops, eight barber shops/beauty salons, eleven eateries, five clothing stores, and 31 other enterprises, ranging from a music video machine with traveling DJs to a Mobil gas station. Through it all, he's somehow managed to keep a low profile, in spite of the fact that all of these businesses bear his name.
Unlike Joe, most entrepreneurs are not seasoned tycoons. Betty has a bakery and a barber shop. Veronica's got a beauty salon, a boutique, and a fashion store. Archie's into realty and repairs. Neither Reggie nor Jughead went into business for himself, but Moose did all right with the lodges. For every Ricky's Records there's a Sonia's Hearing Aids Center. Not to mention Jumbo, Tiny, Big John, Little Stan, Fast Sam, Porky, Piggy, Peggy, Poggenpohl, and Pubenza. And what would Joe say about the people who changed their name just to get their business listed in the front of the phone book? Does anyone believe there are really 49 Miami-area proprietors born with the surname Aachen? Maybe they didn't really modify their names so much as annex them, as in the case of A Aachen Aah Aalst Aardvard Aaron Aba Abaca Abogado Advocacy Office of Larry Sparks, PA. Competition is not nearly so keen for the back of the book, but anyone who wanted to shoot for the absolute last listing would be wise to immediately hire John Zzzzop.
Like Joe, there is a plethora of would-be magnates and moguls in the Miami area from the old school, folks who put their name on the door because it means something. Then again, there are a few who keep a name on a business because it used to mean something, and still others who never existed at all or whose employees don't have a clue as to who they are.
At Don-Z Pawnshop, for example, an employee who declines to identify himself brusquely offers this explanation for his company's name: "The name to the place is the name to the place. That's all. There's nobody by that name over here." At Gil's Spot an equally guarded bartender speculates that Gil is "just a name" that has nothing to do with present ownership. And for those of us who grew up believing that "Little Burkie" loved us all, the curt telephone manner of the prevailing management at Austin Burke, which is now owned by "Little Burkie" junior ("I'mtoobusyyougottacallbackthanks[click]"), is a far cry from the warm reception we'd have expected from the guy who just wanted to save the world money on suits, suits, suits!
An alarming number of thriving businesses bear the names of owners who long ago sold out, moved on, or otherwise passed along their concerns. Most of Miami's barbecued-rib bigwigs fit this scenario. Tony Roma was probably the most famous of the rack, but Tony's restaurants are now part of a sprawling international chain run by a huge corporation headquartered in Dallas. They've got an 800 number and few, if any, of their employees ever met Tony. Bobby Rubino used to work for Tony, then started his own place with a partner fronting most of the cash. Bobby split more than a decade ago; his partner passed away and left the barbecuing to his grandkids.
And then there was Shorty, a Georgia cracker with a taste for hickory-flavored barbecue and a knack for real estate investment. He started easing out of the day-to-day operation of Shorty's restaurant after a fire burned it to the ground in 1971, and sold out completely in 1980. But he squirrelled away enough profits to buy several prime real estate parcels along Dixie Highway and retire to a comfortable life in Marathon. Meanwhile, several of his employees have stayed on to work for the new guys, who, in turn, have committed to doing things Shorty's way A simple menu, informal surroundings, and lots of hickory wood trucked down from Gainesville. No 800 number.
Up the road from Shorty's is Alice's Day Off, a women's retail swimwear outlet. But if you go there, don't ask for Alice. According to owner Rick Cohen, the name is based on the legend of an old French woman who worked in the garment industry. Her name was Alice, and her hobby was taking scraps of clothing from the factory where she toiled and making bathing suits out of them. Eventually she began selling her handiwork at the beach, and it became so popular that Alice started putting a sign out whenever she had free time, advertising her day off. Then came the Judith Krantz novel, the miniseries, and the spot on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. And Cohen's store.

@gravois - That sounds like a great profession. I knew that petroleum engineers made a lot of money but I had never heard about petrological studies or that you could graduate as a petrologist.
I suppose that the two professions would be somewhat related, as they both seem like direct paths into the oil industry, but a petrologist works more with the base materials at its most primitive stage-before it becomes oil.

It's been a manic couple of weeks, balancing Uni work and trying to fit in all of the Fisho qualifiers.
Trips up and down the country to Larford, Tunnel Barn and Monk Lakes. Then I was asked to make my 'Tight Lines' presenting debut in the studio on Friday last week.
Keith Arthur, our main man, was away in Florida catching loads of exotic species – so they needed someone to come off the bench. I was happy to oblige. Studio presenting isn't something I've done very much of at all – but I really enjoyed the experience, helped massively by a brilliant guest in Julian Chidgey.
There are a couple of strange bits about it. First, reading an autocue. It's like someone else is controlling your thoughts , and quite literally putting words in your mouth. Second, we wear an earpiece linking you to the director and producer in the gallery.
It's their job to control the programme. You have voices in your head from all directions. Imagine you are trying to interview someone who is sitting in front of you (face to face I mean), then imagine you are also trying to listen simultaneously to two or three conversations taking place on two mobile phones held up to each ear. It scrambles your brain a bit – but it's luckily something I'm used to from years doing live TV earlier in my career with Sky and ITV.
I've had some nice compliments about the show and everyone seemed happy, which is what it's all about. If and when Keith heads off again (Florida and the chance of catching giant fish seems to keep luring him away for some reason!!!) , I'll be looking forward to having another go if asked.
For those of you who missed it, here's part two of the show when I chatted with Julian about tactics, particularly about crossover between different fishing disciplines. You can also download our pod cat on iTunes – and the whole programme is available in the Sky Sports section of 'On Demand' if you want to watch it all.
There's also a link (below) to the last three Fishomania films from Larford, Tunnel Barn and Monk Lakes. After the show I was straight up the M1 to North Yorkshire (5 hours in the car….yeuck!) for the match at The Oaks, Sessay.
That was won by Steve Cooke. Our first former champion back in the final. It was a truly epic match, which ended up as a head-to-head between Steve and Lee Kerry on the next peg. I'll be editing that one this week – but I've got a small matter of an England trial to deal with first.
This Sunday, my best mate Jason Watling and I are off to fish in the England Boat Squad lure final at Llangorse. If we qualify, it will mean a chance to represent our country in France. I don't hold out much hope as it's a two day final – and we can only fish one day of it! I'm filming another Fishomania qualifier at Barford Lakes in Norfolk on the Saturday.
You never know, we might catch twice as many fish as anyone else on our one day of glory!!
Here's the link to the Fisho films.
Anyway, hope you enjoy those two films.
Cheers and Tight Lines!
