1. This document is the first comprehensive publication of destinations information for higher education (HE) provision registered at HEFCE-funded further education colleges (FECs) in England. It provides information regarding graduates' employment, further study or training, six months after qualifying.
2. We anticipate that this information will be of relevance to FECs and others interested in the destinations of HE students at FECs.
3. The data in this report are derived from responses to the Higher Education in Further Education Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (HE in FE DLHE) survey for the academic years 2008-09 to 2010-11. In particular, the report provides details of the destinations of leavers who obtained qualifications from courses of prescribed HE in HEFCE-funded FECs in England, during the academic year 2010-111.
4. The destinations information provided by this document is intended to be similar to the findings published annually by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) in relation to the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey, for HE provision registered at higher education institutions (HEIs)2. A number of additional tables and charts supplement this document and are provided at Annex B.
5. The report describes considerable differences in the destinations of leavers who obtained HE qualifications from HEFCE-funded FECs in England (HE in FE qualifiers), depending on the qualifications obtained. This is particularly noticeable for qualifiers entering employment only, six months after leaving: 81 per cent of qualifiers from postgraduate study in 2010-11 were in employment only, compared with 64 per cent of those obtaining first degrees, 26 per cent of those obtaining foundation degrees and 32 per cent of those obtaining other undergraduate qualifications.
6. The proportion of HE in FE qualifiers entering further study only was 3 per cent for qualifiers from postgraduate study, compared with 6 per cent of those obtaining first degrees, 31 per cent of those obtaining foundation degrees and 28 per cent of those obtaining other undergraduate qualifications.
7. Leavers obtaining HE qualifications from study registered at FECs had notably different destinations profiles to equivalent qualifiers from HEIs. The differences observed are likely to relate, at least in part, to the characteristics of both the provision and the students registered at FECs in comparison to HEIs.
8. It is intended that details of the destinations of leavers who obtained HE qualifications in FECs be produced regularly. HEFCE plans to publish details of the destinations of leavers in 2011-12 when the data become available in 2013.
9. This document is for information only.
1 Of the HE that takes place in FECs, HEFCE is empowered to fund only certain, prescribed courses. This is set out in the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 and the Education (Prescribed Courses of Higher Education) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 1998, which were amended to apply to England. All HE provision for students registered at FECs which is considered within this report is prescribed HE delivered by HEFCE-funded FECs. Throughout the remainder of this report, references to FECs relate specifically to HEFCE-funded FECs.
2 The HE provision considered by the DLHE survey, for students registered at HEIs, consists of relevant HE qualifications provided by publicly-funded UK HEIs and one privately-funded HEI, the University of Buckingham. Relevant qualifications exclude intercalated degrees, awards to visiting students, students on post-registration health and social care courses, and professional qualifications for serving school teachers.

Human beings have been obsessed with the strength and looks of the human penis, talking about it and thinking about it for hundreds of years. The penis has been featured in many different classic artistic pieces and has even been used as a visual icon representing masculinity, power and success. Despite the fact that people will talk for hours on end about the importance of the size of the organ and the ability to keep it erect for long periods of time, people rarely talk about the male orgasm. It is essential to take the time to learn the facts about the way to get an orgasm that is bigger and better than anything else you've ever experienced.
In recent years people have started talking about ejaculation in addition to all the other concerns about erections and size. The good news is that men are thinking about orgasms more than they did in the past, thinking about the strength and volume of their ejaculate and how they can improve their sexual experience.
What exactly is ejaculation?
We are going to examine the process of male climaxing in order to attain a clearer sense of the part that ejaculation levels play in a man's life.
In the course of sexual interaction, semen is gathered into the ejaculatory ducts. The orgasm, which is originated in a series of muscles that contract all at once, occurs once a peak in pleasure is reached. The orgasm is induced by the rhythmic contractions of the PC (pubococcygeus) muscle, rectum, anal sphincter, ejaculatory ducts, perineum and other muscles surrounding the penis. These muscles are what carry the semen out from the penis. These first couple of contractions, which take place at 0.8-second intervals, are generally in close range of the other and quite concentrated. The length and strength of these contractions will fade and happen less as the orgasm progresses.
How Do You Make Yourself Cum More
The volume of ejaculate a man can produce will depend on a variety of elements, including a man's age, frequency of sexual activity, their general health and diet, and heredity. Male ejaculate's main element is sperm, and looking at the composition of ejaculate reads like a list of essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids: Vitamin B12, C, calcium, chlorine, choline, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, creatine, glutathione, hyaluronidase, nitrogen, potassium, pyrimidine, pyruvic acid and sodium. It even contains cholesterol, fructose, inositol, and sorbitol, most likely from the foods we eat. All of these elements are present in ejaculate but make up only a small percentage of the total volume of the ejaculate. Ejaculate is created mostly from fluids which are generated by the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland.
The taste of the ejaculate will be determined by its ingredients, which will be determined by a man's overall diet and health. It has been reported as ranging from salty to sweet and from sour to mild, with a tingling on the lips and tongue also reported. According to a number of scientific sources, the taste can be changed if the man so desires.
How Do You Make Yourself Cum More
Grey, thick white or even a translucent white are the colors that you should look for in healthy ejaculate. However, it is important to note that the color and clarity of semen will change, becoming lighter and much more transparent, following a vasectomy due to the lack of sperm. Similar to differences in taste and color, the texture or consistency of semen also varies widely between person to person, with a thicker semen seen more often in younger, more potent males.
What affects the volume of ejaculate?
Are there factors that indicate when a man should be worried about the amount and strength of his ejaculate? One of the ejaculatory ducts may be obstructed if there is a significant decrease in the amount of seminal fluid. A prostrate ultrasound can determine if a duct is blocked. Chronic prostatitis, a long-lasting infection of the prostate, as well as retrograde ejaculation, can also lessen the amount of ejaculate. Just because there is a decrease in the amount of semen produced, something that occurs with age, it doesn't mean that a man is less fertile.
A qualified doctor should be brought in to test the semen if its texture, appearance, and/or volume of semen produced raises concerns. Measurement of the amount and pH of the semen, microscopic analyses to detect waste products and clumping, an assessment of the concentration and morphology of the sperm, sperm leucocyte count, and the identification of nascent germ cells are all part of a standard semen analysis. Normally, a physician will collect a sample of ejaculate two to seven days after the man's last sexual encounter, with no sexual activity during those days. Tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and urinary tract infection will also be conducted to rule out these conditions.

Usually, these tests will result in normal results that are within a healthy spectrum, but this still doesn't mean that every man will be happy with the power of their orgasm, how their semen looks, how fertile they are or how much they ejaculate. For these males, and anyone who is interested in feeling more confidence and more pleasure from having a higher volume of semen, Semenax™ is a holistic, all-natural solution to this problem.
You can experience a fivefold increase in the amount of semen you produce, and you will have better, stronger sperm that are more mobile, and you will experience stronger orgasms as a result of having more ejaculate to provide during climax.
Volume Increasing Advantages
There are quite a few benefits to having more power and volume. If you have more sperm, and those sperm are healthier, you will have a better, bigger, more intense and more potent load than ever before.
The contractions used to push the larger volume of semen during orgasm naturally become more powerful giving you a more pleasurable and intense sensation. It is possible for men to extend their orgasm time and make it more pleasurable.
How Do You Make Yourself Cum More
Men in general, but especially those who are ready to start a family, are concerned about how potent and fertile their sperm are. Semenax(TM) can also help in the area of infertility, a growing problem in many couples today.
As a man develops the ability to have a powerful orgasm, his confidence also increases. A man with increased confidence in his sexual abilities also finds more confidence in the aspects of his everyday life not just improvement in his romantic encounters.
How volume-boosting products work
There is quite a variety of factors to consider in volume boosting, such as assembly, production costs and other manufacturing steps. We will now examine the trusted and well-received Semenax™ to establish the way in which it works.
Semenax™ was developed by a group of health professionals to improve every aspect of sexual function and enjoyment for men. The focus is on volume boosting, because of its many related benefits. Formulated of natural ingredients with centuries of anecdotal proof in many cultures worldwide, the Semenax™ product contains botanicals and natural ingredients to tonify and support the ejaculatory ducts, epididymis, testes, prostate gland, seminal vesicles and vas deferens — that is, every part of the male reproductive system.
Semenax™ is manufactured in a cGMP Certified Pharmaceutical facility (something to look for when shopping for volume products), and its ingredients include the amino acids L-arginine HCL, L-carnitine and L-lysine to increase testosterone and sperm count and motility; herbals epimedium sagittatum, catuaba bark and South American maca to boost libido and potency; and nutritionals to aid testosterone synthesis and prostate health.
You should verify that a cGMP Certified Pharmaceutical facility was utilized to make this product, and is verified to work under lab-determined doses, so you can guarantee that the product will do you well in the end.

US authorities make arrest in ricin probe
PUBLISHED: 28 Apr 2013 06:59:59 | UPDATED: 28 Apr 2013 07:02:16PRINT EDITION: 28 Apr 2013Federal authorities search at a small retail space on April 24 where neighbouring business owners said Everett Dutschke used to operate a martial arts studio. Dutschke was taken into custody on Saturday. Photo: AP
US authorities have arrested a man as part of a probe into poison-laced letters sent to President Barack Obama and others.
Everett Dutschke was taken into custody "without incident" at his home in Tupelo, Mississippi, early Saturday morning, Tupelo Police Department spokesman Scott Floyd said.
Dutschke had been turned over to the US Marshals Service, he added.
Three letters laced with ricin were discovered last week as the US was reeling from a deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon.
They were addressed to Obama, Republican Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi and a justice of the peace in the same US state, Sadie Holland.
Authorities initially arrested another man but the charges against him were later dismissed and he was released.

Carmelo's Apartment Has A Real Nice Feng Shui Vibe
If it wasn't for Arod having a centuar mural above his bed, this would probably have to take the cake as the most gaudy piece of decorating of all time, right? Not a portrait of him and La La. Not even a portrait or a photograph of Carmelo in action on the court. Just a gigantic 8 foot by 6 foot mural of Carmelo in some sort of purple hurricane in sunglasses hanging over the fire place. Hilarious. My favorite part is that it comes from an article in the Post where they interviewed La La about the design of their home:
How much input has Carmelo had in the design of your home or did you manage the project yourself?
Believe it or not, he has more input and gets more involved than I do. He was really into working with the decorator, Alicia Darby, who also decorated our home in LA.
Ya think?

Let's Make Light of the Situation
by Mitch Anstey, Research Chemist at Sandia National Laboratories (Oakland)
Description: LEDs, glow-in-the-dark t-shirts, and detergents that "make your whites whiter" are all possible thanks to a property called luminescence. It comes in many shapes and sizes, but it's all the same general principle: turn energy into light! Humanity has quickly taken this property, carved it up, marketed it, and given it cool names like triboluminescence, cathodoluminescence, and sonoluminescence. Now it's time to take luminescence back to the streets! The streets of Oakland! Come see some examples of this incredible property, and learn all you ever wanted to know about making light!
Bio: Mitch Anstey is a chemist by day and a sleeping chemist by night. He made esoteric metal chemistry his specialty at UC Berkeley. Thankfully, someone found that useful in the job market, and he now makes metals emit light for the good of the nation at Sandia National Labs. You'll find him loving on the Easy Bay just about any day of the week, and he's glad Nerd Nite has jumped over to the Sunny Side of the Bay.
Fecal Matters: The Ins and Outs of Fecal Transplants
By Anna Seekatz, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
Description: Although disgusting in general, fecal transplantation has actually saved the lives of many patients suffering from recurrent antibiotic-associated diarrhea, a growing problem in the health sector. In this presentation, learn about the importance of maintaining "healthy" gut bacteria and how fecal transplantation aids in repopulating this bacterial community. You'll also become familiar with why these "good" bacteria are important, and appreciate the miracle of fecal transplants.
Bio: Since reading about Ebola in The Hot Zone as a child, Anna has been interested in infectious diseases. This interest morphed into a BS in biology at Western Washington University, followed by a PhD in microbiology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. As a graduate student, her studies concentrated on changes in the gut microbiota (the "good" bacteria that live on and in us) after infection with Shigella, a bacteria that causes diarrhea. Now, as a postdoc in Dr. Vincent Young's lab at the University of Michigan, she studies Clostridium difficile infection, an antibiotic-associated pathogen of the GI tract, and its relationship with gut microbes. In the future, she hopes to continue her research on these complex bacterial communities and their impact in human health and disease.
It Really is a System of Tubes
by Molly Wright Steenson, Assistant Professor in the School of Journalism & Mass Communication at UW-Madison (Madison)
Description: We all laughed when the late Senator Ted Stevens told us that the Internet was a series of tubes. Turns out he was right: he was just off by a century. Under the streets of every major financial city in the world and on every continent but Antarctica, pneumatic tube postal systems delivered telegrams and mail, powered by massive and majestic steam engines. In the early 20th century, pneumatic tube systems came indoors, serving as the messaging and financial mechanisms of just about every major building. In this talk, I'll look at the glorious history of the pneumatic post, especially in Paris, and we'll see just how right the late senator was.
Bio: Molly Wright Steenson is an Assistant Professor in the School of Journalism & Mass Communication at UW-Madison. Pneumatic tubes have made her Internet famous.
Lemur Biology in the Axis of Evil: A Schistosomiasis Love Story in 10 Easy Lessons
by Dr. Alex Dehgan, Science and Technology Adviser to the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (Washington DC)
Description: What's it like doing research in areas as diverse as a poolhouse in Iraq while under fire, in the western reaches of the Himalayans in post-conflict Afghanistan, in the leech and predator-filled rainforests of southeastern Madagascar, and under the chaos of the collapsing halls of the Kremlin? Research, science diplomacy, and conservation exist in a variety of places from Afghanistan to Madagascar, and some of the cool scientific findings uncovered along the way will be shared, as will the joys of schistosomiasis, the Taliban, and being mortared while at work.
Bio: Dr. Alex Dehgan is the founder of a new startup, Conservation X Labs, and is a senior visiting fellow in the Office of the Provost at Duke University and will be focused on three major initiatives at the university – innovation and entrepreneurship, globalization, and the tropical conservation initiative.

WebWho+ is a small script born out of frustration from having to type the same domain name into whois forms to find if a certain TLD (Top Level Domain) is free for the requested domain name. Features include: Checks Multiple TLDs at once, (com, net, org, edu, co,uk, org.uk, net.uk, ltd.uk, plc.uk), Does a full lookup as to who the owner is and details, Simple response at to domain avilablitlity with Full details and Double check options, Hyperlink to url if taken, Easy to install, and Color configurable.
This whois tool will automatically query the correct registry, and return all of the data it can find. For example, if you enter www.geektools.com, it will find that there is only a record for geektools.com, not www.geektools.com, and will return that data. If you enter www.cisco.co.uk, it will find the data for cisco.co.uk, and return it. If you enter an ip address, it will return the ARIN record for the address, or if the address is assigned to RIPE or APNIC, it will return the RIPE or APNIC record. For example, a search for 188.8.131.52 will return the RIPE record for www.bayer.dk. It can be run as both command line and CGI.
This script performs a whois function. Its output is pre-formatted, and the user has the option to view the raw internic output. They can also register the domain if it is available. This script supports many TLD's, and Names and IP addresses can also be checked.
Stalking out a killer domain name that is on hold status Set autonic to run on crontab every morning with Internic reboots and it will query whois automatically to check the current registration status. If Autonic finds the domain name to be available it will instantly register it automatically. Also sends you a copy of the registration form.
This is a simple PERL program that uses the UNIX whois command to check on who owns a domain name. You can also modify it to execute any operating system command, but be careful.
This script allows users to look up domain names including .com, .net, .org, .edu and .gov. It will display information on Registrant, Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Billing Contact, Date record created and Domain servers.
CC Whois is an easy to set up domain looker-upper. Just type in the domain name you wish to check for availability and press the button. It then returns the results based on Internic's database query results.
Features include: Support for .com, .net, .org and .edu domain lookups, Domain lookup results are displayed in plain english to the user, Cdomain states simply whether or not the domain is available and gives the user the option to see the full result, All results are printed in a nicely formatted fashion, using HTML tables, and Cdomain features simple one script installation.
This script allows you to start your own domain registration business. You can customize the design in minutes, and it also log all domain name searches.
The Whois Data Parser software creates comprehensive sales leads from keyword lists by querying the NIC database. Script extracts targeted, comprehensive contact information based on keyword queries and exports results into a flatfile database. Complete records are extracted including name, address, phone, fax, email, host, nameservers, etc. Also does http query to tell you if their website is online, pings domain to see if it has nameservice and extracts the meta description tag from their home page. All data is stored in convenient flatfile format for exporting into mailing software. Great way to construct targeted databases for search engines or ultra direct snail mail or telemarketing.

Crimea: The Last Crusade. By Orlando Figes. Allen Lane; 575 pages; £30. To be published in America by Metropolitan in April as "The Crimean War: A History"; $35. Buy from Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com
MODERN mechanised warfare, with soldiers and civilians alike struck down in huge numbers by industrial killing machines, is often said to have started in the fields of Flanders in 1914. But it can also be argued that it had its ghastly birth 60 years earlier, on the north coast of the Black Sea. For its protagonists—the leading European powers of the day—the Crimean war was certainly the most significant conflict of the second half of the 19th century. If deaths from disease are included, it cost at least 750,000 lives, two-thirds of them Russian, and it triggered big social and cultural changes in all the countries affected.
Its defining event, the year-long assault on the Russian fortress of Sebastopol (depicted above), was conducted with high-tech efficiency: the besiegers fired up to 75,000 artillery rounds a day in an early version of "shock and awe". And the human consequences of war were relayed to the public at home with speed and unsparing honesty by journalists such as William Russell of the Times, who blazed a trail for generations of war reporters. When the Russians finally abandoned Sebastopol, they left about 3,000 wounded whose condition Russell described in horrific detail: injuries infested with maggots, broken limbs protruding through raw flesh.
Yet for all its modernity, the fighting was also a "holy war" for each belligerent power. Leaders used religious rhetoric and ordinary soldiers and sailors said their prayers as they tried to make sense of what they were doing. That, presumably, is the point Orlando Figes, a historian at Birkbeck College in London, is making with his British subtitle, "The Last Crusade". His book reveals the strange mixture of meanings the war had for its combatants. He puts the conflict into its broader context: the determination of Britain (and with some reservations, France) to stem Russian expansion and to bolster Islam in its fight with eastern Christianity.
No, that last point is not a mistake. The great historical paradox of the Crimean war—and of the longer-term Russo-Turkish conflict of which it was one episode—is that Anglican England and Roman Catholic France were aligned with Islam's sultan-caliph against the tsars who saw themselves as the world's last truly Christian emperors. Above all, the western Christian powers were determined to avoid any reversal of the Muslim conquest of Istanbul: "The Russians shall not have Constantinople" chorused an English music-hall song.
How did the various players in this strange religious game explain themselves to their own pious subjects? For the theocracies of Russia and Turkey, and their God-fearing soldiers, things were fairly straightforward: they were fighting, respectively, for Christianity and Islam.
It was harder, you might think, for the Church of England and the Catholic establishment in France to explain their support of the caliphate. In fact, they found it easy enough to construct the necessary arguments. First, British and French clerics demonised Russian Orthodoxy as a semi-pagan creed. Second, they maintained that in some peculiar way the Ottoman empire was more friendly to its Christian subjects than the tsar was. (The Ottomans tolerated Protestant missionaries, so long as the evangelisers limited their search for souls to Orthodox Christians.)
In the spring of 1854, as the Crimean fighting began in earnest, an Anglican cleric declared that Russian Orthodoxy was as "impure, demoralising, and intolerant as popery itself". What could be more natural, then, than to team up with Islam and popery to cleanse that terrible impurity? A French newspaper, meanwhile, gave warning that the Russians represented a special menace to all Catholics because "they hope to convert us to their heresy".
As Mr Figes recalls, the tactical friendship between Western Christians and Ottoman Muslims had its limits. To be sure, British envoys to the Holy Land probably found more in common with lordly Ottoman administrators than with the exuberant faith of Orthodox Christian peasant-pilgrims. But not all Muslim Turks were overjoyed at being embraced, and hailed as Christian-friendly, by Western powers. When in 1856 the sultan yielded to Western pressure and granted Christians some equality, there was a backlash from the Islamic establishment across the empire.
It is a complex tale, told vividly by Mr Figes. Perhaps it should serve as a healthy cold shower for any modern civilisational warrior who sets out to present the course of history as a simple tug-of-war between Christianity and Islam.

47th problem euclid
From Masonic Wiki
The Discovery of the 47th problem of Euclid:
Euclid wrote a set of thirteen books, which were called "Elements". Each book contained many geometric propositions and explanations, and in total Euclid published 465 problems. The 47th problem was set out in Book 1, which is also known as "The Pythagorean Theorem". Why is it called by both these names? Although Euclid published the proposition, it was Pythagoras who discovered it. We learn from the third degree lecture that:
" This wise philosopher (Pythagoras) enriched his mind abundantly in a general knowledge of things, and more especially in Geometry, or Masonry. On this subject he drew out many problems and theorems, and, among the most distinguished, he erected this, when, in the joy of his heart, he exclaimed Eureka, in the Greek language signifying, "I have found it," and upon the discovery of which he is said to have sacrificed a hecatomb. It teaches Masons to be general lovers of the arts and sciences".
Actually, it was not Pythagoras who directly discovered the rule, as the Egyptians used the same principle for a very long time before Pythagoras, whereby they re-measured their fields after the annual flooding of the Nile washed out their boundary markers. Hence, Pythagoras is probably here referred to as being the one who proved that the process works.
History records that Pythagoras established a society with philosophical, religious and political aims. Shrouded in secrecy, they believed that only by truly understanding the universe could one achieve salvation of the soul, and as Divinity created all things, studying it over a period of several lifetimes, could bring one closer to Divinity itself. As such, it was believed that through study and reason could one start to understand Divinity. Clearly, reason is based on measurable things (such as through numbers and objects), and is easier to understand if expressed in that matter. Hence the society devoted much of its time to the mathematics, including Geometry. This line of thinking was incorporated in Freemasonry, which sets it opposite to the Church, which emphasizes faith over reason. Indeed, Pope Pius IX, in his encyclical, Qui Pluribus, dated 9 November 1846, attacked those who "put human reason above faith, and who believe in human progress." Many people consider this to be a reference to Freemasonry.
This is interesting, because in the Book of Wisdom 11:20 we read:
"Even apart from these, men could fall at a single breath when pursued by justice
and scattered by the breath of thy power.
But thou hast arranged all things by measure
and number and weight."
So the very "measurement of things" the Church objects to is mentioned in Scripture.
However, let us get back to how the 47th problem fits in Freemasonry.
What Does the 47th say?:
right angled triangle
The proposition states that: "In right angled triangles the square on the side subtending the right angle is equal to the squares on the sides containing the right angle."
What? In other words A2 + B2 = C2.
Many readers will feel like they have been returned to Geometry class. A simple illustration will probably refresh our memories.
The proposition is especially important in architecture. Builders have since ancient times used the theorem in constructing buildings by a process known as "squaring a room." As the theorem states that 3 squared + 4 squared = 5 squared, a builder starts by marking a spot and drawing a line, say line A. This line is given the value of 3. The builder then marks another point, say point B and draws a line from it at a right angle to line A, and it is given the value of 4. The distance between line A and B is then measured, and if the distance between A and B is 5, then the room is squared. By inverting the process, a "squared" (or rectangle) room can be obtained.

The distance between line A and B is then measured, and if the distance between A and B is 5, then the room is squared. By inverting the process, a "squared" (or rectangle) room can be obtained.
Engineers who tunnel from both sides through a mountain use the 47th problem to get the two shafts to meet in the center. The surveyor who wants to know how high a mountain may be ascertains the answer through the 47th problem. The astronomer who calculates the distance of the sun, the moon, the planets, and who fixes "the duration of times and seasons, years, and cycles," depends upon the 47th problem for his results. The navigator traveling the trackless seas uses the 47th problem in determining his latitude, his longitude, and his true time. Eclipses are predicted, tides are specified as to height and time of occurrence, land is surveyed, roads run, shafts dug, bridges built, with the 47th problem to show the way.
In some lodges, using this principle, a candidate symbolically "squares the Lodge" by being escorted around the Lodge three times during the Entered Apprentice ritual, four times for a Fellowcraft ritual, and five times for a Master Mason ritual, which completed his journey.
The 47th problem forms the basis of all ancient measurement units:
The 47th problem of Euclid formed the basis of a common set of measurements used by the Egyptians, especially in the building of the Great Pyramids. It gets a little technical, but a simple illustration will help us understand it better.
Please see the illustration above, which is not accurate due to a drawing, but will serve to illustrate the point. If we take a circle and draw in it a triangle (triangle A- B-C) which perpendicular is 300, base is 400, and by the 47th problem, the hypotenuse becomes 500 (any combination such as 3,4,5 will also work ? higher numbers are used for ease of explanation). Then if we draw a line from the angle of the perpendicular and the base through the hypotenuse to the circle, this line will be equal to 480.
The resulting two parts of the hypotenuse (A-D and D-C) will be equal to 180 and 320 respectively. Then if we draw another line from the point D (the intersector of the hypotenuse) to the perpendicular of the shortest side of the triangle (A-B), then line A-E will equal 108 and line D-E will equal 144.
Now we have all the measurements of the ancient world, that is 500, 480, 400, 320, 180, 144 and 108. Why is this important? If we take each unit to be a cubit (an ancient form of measurement), then 500 is the base of the Great Pyramid of Memphis. 400 cubits is the length of an Egyptian stadium (stadium is plural for stadia, and ancient measurement unit, based on a particular number of steps, also called a Khet by the Egyptians). 480 cubits is the length of the Ptolemy stadium, 320 cubits is the length of the Hebrew and Babylonian stadium. Furthermore, 180, which represents the smaller part of the hypotenuse, doubled gives 360 cubits, the Cleomedes stadium. By doubling 144 cubits gives 288 cubits, the Archimedes stadium. Finally by doubling 108 cubits we obtain 216 cubits, or the lesser Egyptian stadium.
In other words, this simple exercise formed the basis of all the lengths used by the Egyptians, and hence also once again indicates that its principle was well understood by the Egyptians, and hence taught by them to Pythagoras.
Clearly, the 47th problem helps us look at the universe, and all that is in it, through a system that we can understand clearly, for it is measurable. The Master's jewel is the square, the base needed for the 47th problem (in many jurisdictions the square has the dimensions of 3:4 ? the Pythagorean dimensions). As the Master serves his position, he becomes more complete, and therefore the 47th problem of Euclid is dedicated on his jewel when he leaves office.

Recipe by Aberdeen Lane
"This is a combination of many recipes and experimentation. It has gotten the thumbs-up from all who have tried it so far. It can also be made with TVP, ground turkey, or even ground beef instead of tempeh."

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced onion
2 (8 ounce) packages tempeh
1/2 cup minced green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch ground black pepper
hamburger buns
Good recipe, but remember that Worcestershire sauce is NOT vegetarian unless you get a vegan version; regular Worcestershire has anchovies in it. Also, use brown sugar instead of the honey if cooking for vegans.
After a long search for tempeh at the grocery strore I came up empty handed, so I used veggie ground round. So this rating may be a little "off". However I found the combination of spices to be just to much, will not be using this recipe again.

Fantastic recipe! Even my carnivore husband loves it. I like to substitute extra firm tofu for the tempeh and use a full can of tomato sauce.
Thanks for the recipe, but be sure to make sure you get vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, since the original kind is made with fish. ^^ <3
I've made this a number of times and love it. I'd give it 5 stars except I always have adjustments to make. I always add way more tomato sauce - usually the entire can worth. I tend to do less tempeh and more onion and bell pepper just because I like to load up on veggies where I can as well. I always double the garlic in any recipe too. Other than that, the flavors are spot on and this is a GREAT vegetarian alternative - and we're not even vegetarian! ;)
I had just bought my vegetarian worshtishire sauce and was surfing for a recipe to try it on... and voila'. This recipe whips up quickly. It's been over 14 years since I had a sloppy joe, but this certainly reminded me of what I used to enjoy. Small amount of clean up involved- the flavors are good with sweet initial flavor and a spicy aftertaste. I agree with another reviewer, my 8 year old thought it was too spicy, though I thought it was perfect. (I'm a mild salsa type gal). Very good flavor, I don't think it could pass as the real deal but certainly will pass this on to EVERY vegetarian/vegan I know (I think vegan use br. sugar in lieu of honey). I used MorningStar for my tempeh/meat substitute.
Very good and a great way to use tempeh (which we love but always use in stirfry). It wasn't as saucy as I expected, so I added more tomato sauce and a little ketchup. Good spices for us, actually too spicy for my toddlers so I'll cut back on the cayene and some others next time.
In the end the general consensus in my house was that this was pretty good, but probably won't be made again because the 20g of fat is more than we would like, not because it wasn't good though. It did need a few modifications. After I had followed the recipe exactly and sampled the results I was pretty disappointed. As other reviewers have said it needed more tomato sauce, and I added about an extra tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. It was terribly dry and definitely did not resemble any sloppy joe I had ever had. With the additions it was much better, and as leftovers actually seemed to be much more tasty than the initial serving.

According to the World Health Organization, 500,000 women die each year from complications of pregnancy and childbirth, and 9 million children die before the age of 5.
Tanzania, access to health care can be difficult. For almost 90 per cent of the population, the closest health care facility is 10 kilometres away. Without proper care, pregnant women and young children are highly vulnerable.
In this room where I'm standing, there is a mother who delivered yesterday night in the way to the hospital.
What we need is that the mother gets quality care during pregnancy, during delivery and after delivery.
This lady has delivered on the way — this is not nice.
In fact she could have delivered at the center so that she can get acompaniment services during delivery.
Through the health sector common fund, Canada is helping to make health care more accessible to mothers and children:
I came for ante-natal services for three times at this clinic.
I got your services as far as my pregnancy was concerned.
I received drugs when I was sick, also tablets for preventing the anemia
Until the date when I was started the labour pains, I was getting the quality services from the clinic.
I delivered safely, there was not any problem.
This is how CIDA is supporting Tanzania's efforts to reduce mortality among mothers and young children.
Protecting their health brings hope.
Two of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals are improved maternal health and reduced mortality among children under 5 by 2015.
Canada's primary development priority at the 2010 G8 Summit is maternal and child health.

Maehl's calling ends up being on offense
Posted by Adam Jude
From today's editions:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Oregon senior Jeff Maehl loved being a defensive back. There was no better feeling, he said, than getting an interception and taking it the other way for a touchdown.
"But," he said, three years after switching to wide receiver, "it is not a bad feeling scoring touchdowns on the offense side either."
These days, Maehl is indeed finding the end zone in a more conventional manner, and he's doing it as well as any receiver in Oregon history.
Entering Monday's BCS National Championship game against Auburn, Maehl has 24 career touchdown receptions, tied with Keenan Howry and Cristin McLemore on the school's career list.
Half of those 24 touchdowns came during Oregon's 12-0 run to the title game this season, and after each one Maehl would look up and point to the sky in tribute to Todd Doxey, the Oregon redshirt freshman safety who died in a drowning accident on the McKenzie River on July 13, 2008.
"It's something I like to do, I like to pay my tribute to him," said Maehl, Doxey's close friend and roommate. "Todd was one of the hardest workers on the team at the time.
"We go out with the same mentality he had. We're blessed to have the opportunity to play football. His was cut short of that." Click here for the complete story.

Indiana University Bloomington Librarian Wins Award for First-Time Presenters
Indiana University Bloomington Librarian Wins Award for First-Time Presenters
Published Sep 27, 2013
Sherri Michaels, Head of Collection Management at Indiana University Bloomington, is the winner of the second annual Elsevier Library Connect Charleston Conference Award for first-time presenters. Sherri was selected by committee in a blind judging for her session entitled "Shared Print on the Move: Collocating Collections." She received a $1,500 award to apply to travel costs incurred to attend the 33rd Annual Charleston Conference: Issues in Book and Serial Acquisition, November 6–9, 2013.
"It means a lot to be the recipient of the Elsevier Library Connect Charleston Conference Award," said Sherri. "I am delighted to share my experience with collocating collections for a shared print repository in my session, but I am most looking forward to participating in many interesting conversations and learning from my library colleagues throughout the conference."
"The winning session will explore a pressing issue in libraries, the storage of legacy print collections, and report on the innovative CIC Shared Print Repository," said Carol Pitts Diedrichs, one of the award judges and Vice Provost and Director of University Libraries at The Ohio State University. "We are pleased to see Elsevier's sponsorship of the award accomplishing its purpose of supporting the educational goals of a librarian as they share knowledge and learn from their peers within the library community."
Following the conference, Sherri will share her conference experience on the Library Connect website. In 2012, Maliaca Oxnam, a member of the University of Arizona Scholarly Publishing and Data Management Team, received the first Library Connect Charleston Conference award, for her session entitled "Moving Technical Reports Forward: New Roles for Libraries & Librarians"; she was one of four co-presenters.

Congress has just a week left to address student loan interest rates for those taking out new subsidized Stafford loans.
I'm almost $60,000 in debt, which will affect my ability to get a mortgage, my ability to have children and put them through a good education, it'll also affect which kind of job I take.
Columbia student Rachel Boehr started out studying drama but skyrocketing tuition costs forced her to drop out.
Now at age 30, she's only just finished her undergraduate degree
We're asking too much of our college students and we're narrowing and narrowing the field of who can be a college student in the country.
American college grads carry a staggering student loan debt in excess of $1 trillion dollars.
As tuition costs continue to soar, rising interest rates could soon become the next headache facing new grads. The interest rate for need-based or stafford loans, is now fixed at 3.4%.
If Congress does not act to extend that rate by July 1, it is scheduled to double.
I definitely think that doubling the rate to 6.8% would definitely increase default rates because these loans are really for low income students
While some lawmakers want to keep rates at the lower 3.4% for at least the next two years, others say student loan interest rates should be allowed to fluctuate according to market forces.
I think there's gonna be some kind of compromise. Some kind of adjustment. I don't know if they're gonna go to a variable rate loan. My guess is they might just kick the can down the road and say we'll just do this for one year and we'll revisit it another year later.
If rates do increase, the bad news for students could become a revenue booster for government -- the higher interest rate would generate $36 billion in revenue this year as Congress scrambles for new sources of cash.
But higher rates could cost students as much as $5000 more in loan repayment charges over a 10-year period.
The President and Mrs. Obama just finished paying off their student loans and i think that the fact that they were 40 years old and they still were paying off student loan debts is really scary we could even be 50, 60 years old without having paid off our student loans.
Politicians have to look beyond their own self-interest and we need to keep the future of our country and the world in perspective, you know? Because college students like myself and my peers are counting on them.

Since we are less than a month from when the Application for Admission and Freshmen Scholarships is due, we thought this might be a good time to recap the Butler admission timeline.
November 1 - Early Action Deadline
This deadline brings with it many benefits for both admission and scholarship consideration:
- Early Notification Date. All admission decisions are sent on December 15.
- Scholarship Eligibility. While scholarships are available for both admission deadlines, the full amount of awards are only available for the November 1 deadline.
- Honors Program. To be eligible to apply to the Honors Program, a student must have a complete Early Action application by November 1.
February 1st- Regular Decision
While the Office of Admission does encourage students to apply by November 1, you can still submit a complete application if you miss the Early Action Deadline. Students who apply for regular decision will receive their admission shortly after February 15.
March 1st- Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
This document is not needed for admission or scholarship consideration, but is required if you are interested in applying for Grant, Loan or Federal Work Study eligibility. If the document is sent to Butler by March 1, you will be sent a complete Financial Aid Notification by March 15.
May 1st- National Candidate Reply Deadline
You can certainly accept your admission offer early and begin to register for classes/complete housing contracts; however, Butler does not require a student to submit a final enrollment decision until May 1.

Sales Associate Interview
I applied in-person. The process took a week – interviewed at Abercrombie & Fitch.
Pretty basic interview. Group setting where they ask 3-5 questions, including one about diversity since they got sued for discrimination a few years back. Was recruited in store (this is where they do A LOT of their recruiting) and submitted an app at the kiosk in the store. Heard back exactly a week later with an offer.
- The questions are fairly straight forward. Just know a bit about the image that they are trying to sell (ie. classic New England prepster) Answer Question

Interview DetailsI applied online and was contacted within a week for an in-person interview. I was told it would be a group interview but when I got there the manager took me to the restaurant next door and we had a one-on-one interview there for ~15 minutes. She asked about myself for the first part but as soon as I told her I was married the interview immediately went south. She asked the usual questions like where I worked before and what were my responsibilities. She told me I should probably interview for the managerial positions. She told me I would hear back within the week if it went well.

ANNOTATION: "The primary purpose of this Guide is to provide a structure for jurisdictions, juvenile probation or centralized statewide agencies striving to implement risk assessment or to improve their current risk assessment practices. Risk assessment in this Guide refers to the practice of using a structured tool that combines information about youth to classify them as being low, moderate or high risk for reoffending or continued delinquent activity, as well as identifying factors that might reduce that risk on an individual basis. The purpose of such risk assessment tools is to help in making decisions about youths' placement and supervision, and creating intervention plans that will reduce their level of risk. The recommendations in this Guide are research-based. The Guide is the result of years of research conducted by highly experienced experts in the field" (p. 5). Chapters following an executive summary are: introduction to risk-need-responsivity (RNR) and risk assessment; concepts and terms of risk assessment; and 8 steps in developing and implementing a risk assessment system—getting ready, establishing stakeholder and organizational buy-in, select and prepare the risk assessment tool, preparing policies and essential document for use of the tool in decision-making, training, implement pilot test, full implementation, and on-going tasks for sustainability.

Catuaba Bark is native to Brazil. I've been to Brazil. The country emits sex and sexuality. There are two things on Brazilians mind. That is looking good and feeling good. With that knowledge, I wasn't surprised to find that Catuaba is indigenous to Brazil and is taken for it's sex enhancing affects.
Joking aside, this particular herb caught my attention. It seems to work well on its own, and even better combined with other aphrodisiac herbs. Let's look at it more in depth.
It's botanical name is Trichiliia Catigua. Besides boosting libido, this aphrodisiac herb elevates mood to. Recent studies have shown that happy people have more sex than unhappy people. I can see why. I have days that go smooth, and I'm happy to see my husband, at the end of the day. :) Besides increasing libido, Catuaba helps with a slew of ailments. You could take it for your lack of libido and find out it helps with something else, as well. Love that.
Like many of the other aphrodisiac herbs, this part is unknown.
Unlike, other libido herbs, Catuaba is void of side effects! Yep, you read that right. Catuaba does not produce unwanted side effects. The only possible side effect that I read about is the duration of sex. Men complained that they could not last as long in bed but that it was not a significant problem for their women.
According to the countless reviews I've read...YES! The following are Catuaba Bark reviews:
*Give it a few weeks to build up in your system. At least two weeks to see any of the above results!

MIFF: Interview with Brigitte Berman, Director of Hugh Hefner
Categories: Miami International Film Festival
PRNewsFoto/Playboy Enterprises, Inc. |
Sure, he's the silk-pajama-wearing publisher of one of America's longest running nudie magazines, but Hefner has also won every legal battle he's ever fought. And it's not just about naked women. He's fought for civil rights, privacy, and more liberal drug laws. As he recently told the New York Times: "The real obscenities on this planet have very little to do with sex."
We caught up with Berman, who will attend next week's screenings in Miami. She says Hef is very excited about the film debuting in a city that may also be home to the next Playboy club. Read on to learn about Hef's passion for civil rights, movie nights, and um, scrapbooking.
New Times: What inspired you to make this film?
Brigitte Berman: I had made a film about Bix Beiderbecke and he's Hef's favorite musician of all time. He saw the film and loved it and we started to correspond and that how's we became friends. I'd occasionally come to the Playboy Mansion for movie nights whenever I was in LA.
Tell us more about these movie nights.
On Friday nights, 30 or so people come to watch films. It's always an old movie and the average age is about 65 years old. On Saturday, he shows another movie on the same theme or by the same director. Sunday nights, it's a more recent movie, and it's a much bigger crowd with more like 70 people. Monday is manly night when Hef's male friends choose a movie by vote.
When you say "manly" does that mean...
How did you learn of Hefner's history in activism?
I had the same preconceived notions that everybody else has. But I met this very charming man and we talked about jazz music and movies. I'm a researcher at heart--I always want to know more about people, so I automatically started to look things up and that's when I learned that there was a much bigger side to him.
When I came to his 80th birthday party at the Mansion, I felt he was celebrated just for the one side of him. I decided to make a documentary about the other side of Hef. He loved the idea. He gave me carte blanche and creative freedom, which are very important to me as a documentary filmmaker. Part of it was that he already respected me as a filmmaker and liked my work and so he felt very comfortable.
Most people would assume that his activism had to do with censorship and antiquated sex laws. Was that the extent of it?
He had a great deal to do with the whole Roe v. Wade changes in America, but also civil rights. His 1959 Playboy Penthouse television shows aired in a time when nobody showed black and white people together, performers or audiences. He didn't think twice about it. Those were his friends, and that's the way it was. Southern states would not buy the show, but he didn't care. He's a man of incredible principles.
Screenwriter and novelist Dalton Trumbo was blacklisted in the McCarthy era, and Hef asked him to write an article for Playboy and Dalton assumed it would be under his pseudonym. Hef said no we're publishing it under your real name, it's not right. He received a letter from Ronald Reagan, who was then head of the Screen Actors Guild in California. He was just one of those people. He believed then and still does in human rights.
You had access to his personal archives. What was the most surprising thing you found?
So Hef's into scrapbooking?
He still does them. One of things I loved was the one about the Big Bunny--the big personal plane he has with the bunny logo on the tail. Hollywood friends asked him if they could use the Big Bunny to rescue Vietnamese orphans during the war.There are these incredible photographs of the bunny girls caring for these orphans on the plane.
Does it bother him that he's going to be remembered as just a pornographer in most people's minds?
It doesn't bother him, but when I showed the film at the Mansion, Hef was in tears. He was deeply moved. It also means a lot to people that know him. But there's still the other side of him, and I show the Playboy side, the girls, the centerfolds, and the Mansion. It's all there. There are the two sides, which makes it a very fascinating and controversial documentary.
I also talk to feminists like Susan Brownmiller to whom Hef is the devil. I believe everybody has the right to their opinion. All I wanted to do with this film was put this unrealized reality of him up on the big screen.

Captain America and Winter Soldier ring opening bell at NYSE
Captain America: The Winter Soldier stars Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan appeared this morning at the New York Stock Exchange, where they joined Marvel Entertainment executives to ring the opening bell, and to promote the Friday premiere of their film.
The actors also posed for photos with a costumed Sentinel of Liberty whom we can only presume is that Captain America from the 1950s — or else a trader who lost a bet.

Man, if that Cap is the 50's Captain America, he needs another dose of the super soldier serum.

Flynn's taxonomy
Flynn's taxonomy is a classification of computer architectures, proposed by Michael J. Flynn in 1966.[1][2] The classification system has stuck, and has been used as a tool in design of modern processors and their functionalities. Since the rise of multiprocessing CPUs, a multiprogramming context has evolved as an extension of the classification system.
Single instruction | Multiple instruction | Single program | Multiple program | |
Single data | SISD | MISD | ||
Multiple data | SIMD | MIMD | SPMD | MPMD |
The four classifications defined by Flynn are based upon the number of concurrent instruction (or control) and data streams available in the architecture:
- Single Instruction, Single Data stream (SISD)
- A sequential computer which exploits no parallelism in either the instruction or data streams. Single control unit (CU) fetches single Instruction Stream (IS) from memory. The CU then generates appropriate control signals to direct single processing element (PE) to operate on single Data Stream (DS) i.e. one operation at a time.
- Examples of SISD architecture are the traditional uniprocessor machines like a PC (currently manufactured PCs have multiple processors) or old mainframes.
- Single Instruction, Multiple Data streams (SIMD)
- A computer which exploits multiple data streams against a single instruction stream to perform operations which may be naturally parallelized. For example, an array processor or GPU.
- Multiple Instruction, Single Data stream (MISD)
- Multiple instructions operate on a single data stream. Uncommon architecture which is generally used for fault tolerance. Heterogeneous systems operate on the same data stream and must agree on the result. Examples include the Space Shuttle flight control computer.[citation needed]
- Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data streams (MIMD)
- Multiple autonomous processors simultaneously executing different instructions on different data. Distributed systems are generally recognized to be MIMD architectures; either exploiting a single shared memory space or a distributed memory space. A multi-core superscalar processor is an MIMD processor.
Diagram comparing classifications[edit]
Visually, these four architectures are shown below where each "PU" is a central processing unit:
Further divisions[edit]
As of 2006[update], all the top 10 and most of the TOP500 supercomputers are based on a MIMD architecture.
Some further divide the MIMD category into the two categories below,[3][4][5][6][7] and even further subdivisions are sometimes considered.[8]
Single Program, Multiple Data: multiple autonomous processors simultaneously executing the same program (but at independent points, rather than in the lockstep that SIMD imposes) on different data. Also referred to as 'Single Process, multiple data'[7] - the use of this terminology for SPMD is erroneous and should be avoided, as SPMD is a parallel execution model and assumes multiple cooperating processes executing a program. SPMD is the most common style of parallel programming.[9] The SPMD model and the term was proposed by Frederica Darema.[10] Gregory F. Pfister was a manager of the RP3 project, and Darema was part of the RP3 team.
Multiple Program, Multiple Data: multiple autonomous processors simultaneously operating at least 2 independent programs. Typically such systems pick one node to be the "host" ("the explicit host/node programming model") or "manager" (the "Manager/Worker" strategy), which runs one program that farms out data to all the other nodes which all run a second program. Those other nodes then return their results directly to the manager. An example of this would be the Sony PlayStation 3 game console, with its SPU/PPU processor architecture.

WPI Mourns the Loss of Venerable Professor, Librarian
Herbert Beall joined the faculty in the Chemistry Department at WPI in 1968 and had remained here until his passing in late August. He received his undergraduate degree in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and his Ph.D.
in chemistry in 1967 from Harvard University as a graduate student of William Nunn Lipscomb Jr., who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1977. Herb published over 70 articles in several areas of chemistry, including boron chemistry, chemical education, the use of language in chemistry, and gold and coal chemistry. He was also the author and co-author of several textbooks, including Chemistry for Engineers and Scientists and A Guide to Writing About Chemistry. A lecture series will be established at WPI in Herb's honor.
Carmen Brown was a part of Gordon Library since it was completed in 1967. Her 35-year career demonstrated a passion for WPI, its community of students, faculty and staff, and the library itself. She retired from WPI on June 30, 2003. Carmen was the first female academic advisor and advised students for many years. She was also a mentor to women students and, in general, reached out to women colleagues on campus. She graduated from James Millikin University with a bachelor of arts degree and the University of Illinois with a master's degree in library science.
