How Negativity and Complaining Literally Rot Your Brain
By Dr. Travis Bradberry
Rodent studies have long shown that stress can have a lasting, negative impact on the brain. Exposure to even a few days of stress compromises the effectiveness of the neurons in the hippocampus—an important area of the brain responsible for reasoning and memory. Weeks of stress cause reversible damage to neuronal dendrites (the small "arms" that neurons use to communicate with each other), and months of stress can permanently destroy neurons.
Evidence of the same effect in humans has long been scant. However, recent improvements in MRI resolution mean scientists can now see the same effects of stress in people. Stress is a formidable threat for those of us who want to think clearly, reason effectively, and have a decent memory.
Most sources of stress are easy to identify. If your non-profit is waiting to land a grant that your organization needs to function, or you are working on the biggest project of your career, you're bound to feel stress, but the unexpected sources of stress are the ones that can take you by surprise and harm your brain. Recent research from the Department of Biological and Clinical Psychology at Friedrich Schiller University in Germany found that exposure to negative emotional stimuli—the same kind of exposure you get in the presence of complainers and otherwise negative people—caused subjects' brains to have the same emotional reactions that they experienced when stressed. Your brain gets sucked into a negative emotional state when exposed to negative people, and—just like a stress response—the longer you endure this state the worse it is for your brain.

Barcode reading is really rather useful. In the case of Barcode Reader and Barcode Reader Pro, it enables users to find the lowest price for an item within the US simply by taking a photo of the relevant barcode.
Barcode Reader has also now become the first and only barcode scanning app that works with the iPad 2 as well as all other iOS devices.
The app enables users to search through a whole wealth of places in the quest to find the best price. It searches eBay, Amazon, Target, Google Product Search, Walmart.com and many others offering a comprehensive price comparison service.
There's also a built-in browser to help users read more about a product and it's possible to use the current location to find prices in nearby stores.
All in all, Barcode Reader could be a great way of saving money for the savvy shopper.
It's available now in free and paid ($0.99) forms and as previously mentioned, it's currently the only barcode scanning app out there for the iPad 2.

Exploring the Gender Gap: A Data-Driven Learning Guide (ICPSR 307)
Principal Investigator(s): Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
Data-Driven Learning Guides are a collection of instructional exercises that can be used to enhance teaching of core concepts in the social sciences. This learning guide investigates the differences between men and women with respect to public opinion in areas important to political decision-making. Research questions that can be explored using this learning guide include: what factors may lead women to identify more with the Democratic Party, how men and women differ with respect to issue-related attitudes and policy preferences, and whether the ideological and political differences between men and women can be explained. Crosstabulation, Chi-square statistics, comparison of means, and T-statistics are used for the analyses.

Felt we did not see very much of the island or its culture it was this or feeding eagles at sea. Poor excursion choices
Thailand: docked at 7:30pm disembarked to get a taxi into Puckett and it was like a cattle market with a dozen drivers trying to get your business and over inflating their prices we ended up going back on board as the hassle was too much.
Singapore: did not have enough time in dock to do an excursion so stayed on board.
Redang Island: Nice beach and nice island but if you don't do water sports not much else to do but sit in sun or drink at the bar.

Immerse yourself in history with a quick drive to Rome, the world's oldest city with a wealth of historic monuments. There you will find art and culture, but also luxury shopping on Via del Babuino, Via Condotti and Via Veneto. Experience the good life in Rome, both day and night. Every street, every monument tells of its millennial history: Rome of the seven kings, the Empire's capital, Christian Rome, Medieval Rome, then Renaissance and Baroque Rome, then Fascist Rome and modern-day Rome. In addition to traditional tourist spots like Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Navona, the Coliseum, Saint Peter's, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican Museums with the extraordinary Sistine Chapel with frescoes painted by Michelangelo, you also won't want to miss Rome as seen from the Tiber River, and the Maxxi, the architecture museum designed by Zaha Hadid. Then you'll want to take a walk and listen to the locals speak the Roman dialect, and visit the old trattorias with their traditional dishes like spaghetti alla carbonara, lamb chops, puntarelle with anchovies, carciofi alla giudia and oxtail soup.
Experiences brochure >Outside the gates of La Posta Vecchia, it's just a short drive to Cerveteri, one of the most important Etruscan cities of the 8th century BC. In the necropolis, the monumental tombs, unlike no other in the world, have walls frescoed with surprising paintings that are perfectly preserved. In the city, you can visit the ruins of the Etruscan walls, the Medieval walls, and the 16th-century Palazzo Ruspoli. Lago di Bracciano is also nearby, dominated by the imposing medieval Castello Odescalchi, and the Ostia Antica with naval offices, bars and inns built between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. Those willing to go a bit further afield can visit the Etruscan cities of Tarquinia and Tuscania. The Roman villa of Emperor Hadrian and the Renaissance Villa of Cardinal d'Este are worth seeing in Tivoli, 30 kilometres east of Rome. Hadrian's residence is composed of various pavilions scattered among lakes and columns, with hot springs, libraries, theatres and a small island for solitary contemplation.

Saffron Walden MP, Sir Alan Haselhurst, paid a visit to Stansted on Friday, November 1, to see how work is progressing on the airport's £80 million terminal transformation project.
The highlight of the visit included a behind the scenes guided tour of the construction site by the project's director, Martin Lyall, who said:
"We were delighted to welcome Sir Alan to Stansted and hope that he left us better informed about our very exciting terminal transformation project. We're five months in to the project and we're making great progress. Our new domestic reclaim area has been delivered ahead of schedule and we're on-track to open the new security search in the coming weeks. There's still lots more to do and we will begin construction on the departure lounge shortly. Stansted is changing and we're confident passengers, staff and Sir Alan will love the new airport when it's finished in 2015."
Stansted Airport's new owners, M.A.G, launched the £80 million project to redevelop the terminal in June 2013. The airport's state-of-the-art Lord Foster designed building will be enhanced by making better use of existing space and provide passengers with new security facilities and an enlarged departure lounge.

It's Out
I think I've gotten suckered into enjoying this again...
It's Out
I think I've gotten suckered into enjoying this again...
Seems like he was trying to be cool and Tsukishima not really doing anything even though his arm has been severed makes it seem like he can get it back no problem
I´d really laugh if Tsukihima is really the good guy, and ginju the bad guy =D
Anyway, I can´t wait to see how Ichigo handles the new situation!
There's one thing KT does quite well, and that's drawing smug bastards.
Yea I understand he could be infected too, but my gut tells me that he isnt infected by Tsukishima's powers because he's different from everyone because he's a Quincy and im not really sure if his mindhack worked on Ishida or not. Also, the battle we seen between Ishida and Tsukishima's fight was a high speed chase and Ishida laying on the ground with his right arm missing. I'm curious to what actually happened during their fight because whats the point of cutting him down and leaving him to die since it's so damn easy to mind-hack everyone?
This Arc has so many twist and turns, im starting to doubt what my eyes has seen so far and starting to trust my gut now. I dont wanna get trolled by Kubo again. lol
I seriously seriously doubt Kubo knew where he was going when Ishida got his arm cut off. Although now that I think about it is there a connection between him losing him arm too?!?!??! jk

Before reading Miss Silverwoods explanation, you may want to allow yourself to be mystified still further by a clever animation that applies paranormal numbers. Or so it seems.t the conclusion of her mind-reading demonstration Miss Silverwood shook her head. Identifying each deleted digit was merely a trick, she said. I dont need paranormal powers to know exactly what you are thinking. Right now, for example, you are thinking that I am going to show you how the trick is done. You are right to think that. Let me begin by commenting that there is something rather special about the integer nine. Readers may think Miss Silverwood had in mind a rather facetiously discovery in another puzzle -- that nine is the smallest non-prime odd integer. You are not right to think that.Throughout the decimal world, she said, the cipher nine enjoys a unique place among digits: nine is exactly one less than ten. Thus, 10 = 9 + 1, 100 = 99 + 1, 1000 = 999 + 1, She reminded her students that every decimal integer X, with its digits symbolized by xi, looks like this X = x0 + 10 x1 + 100 x2 + 1000 x3 + and can be expanded as follows: X = x0 + (9 + 1) x1 + (99 + 1) x2 + (999 + 1) x3 + Using elementary algebraic operations, Miss Silverwood wrote on the blackboard X = x0 + x1 + x2 + x3 + + 9 x1 + 99 x2 + 999 x3 + By inspection, said she, you will see that the underlined terms are each divisible by nine. Meanwhile, all the others represent what? She nodded to a student with an upraised hand, I know what you are thinking that x0 + x1 + x2 + x3 + merely adds up all the digits in the integer X, and you are right. Something else, too: If that sum happens to be divisible by nine, the integer X will also be divisible by nine. All those underlined terms have already been shown to be divisible by nine. So, you see why I think the cipher nine is quite special. or an illustration, Miss Silverwood wrote a large decimal integer on the blackboard, 127,689,354 and said, This integer is divisible by nine. Go ahead and check that. She then calculated the sum of its digits (45). Of course, 45 is indeed divisible by nine and, by the way, so too is the sum of four and five. Most puzzle solvers will see immediately that the results are the same for every decimal integer comprising those same digits, thus 123,456,789 and 987,654,321 are each divisible by 9, along with all possible arrangements of those ten digits, which totals 10! Punctuation concluding the previous sentence is not exclamatory but factorial (10! = 3,628,800).It does not take a mind-reader, said Miss Silverwood, to know what all of you have been thinking up to this point: Who cares if a given integer is divisible by nine? Well, the answer to a more general question does have practical interest particularly for reading minds: When a given decimal integer X is divided by nine, what is the remainder? The mathematical expression in Miss Silverwoods day was rem9(X), and it would be pronounced as follows: the remainder modulo 9 of X. Todays spreadsheet notation is mod(X, 9). We found that rem9 (127,689,345) = 0, she said. By changing, say, the last digit from five to six, we will see that rem9 (127,689,346) = 1. Using a modern calculator to find that out is not especially convenient: 127,689,346 divided by 9 equals 14,187,705.1111 1, from which we must subtract the integer portion 14,187,705 to isolate the repeating decimal 0.111 1; finally, we must compute the remainder by multiplying 9 times 0.111 1 = 1. Another way is to multiply the integer portion of the quotient by nine and subtract the result from the original integer. Either way, taking the sum of the digits is easier.The sum of the digits in 127,689,346 is 46, said Miss Silverwood, and the sum of those two digits, four and six, equals ten. We see straight away that rem9 (10) = 1. Other digits can be substituted: for example, try rem9 (237,779,855) = 8. Naturally, any remainder modulo nine is limited to the ciphers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, inasmuch as rem9 (9) = 0. Puzzle solvers will observe that, given a decimal integer N, where rem9(N) = 0, we may insert an arbitrary integer x into N at any location, creating thereby an integer N'and immediately discover that rem9(N') = x. Thus, rem9(1,276,8x9,345) = x; the sum of the digits will be 45 + x, and by inspection, rem9(45+ x) = x.There is a shortcut for modulo-9s, said Miss Silverwood. It is called 'casting out nines', and it goes like this. She wrote N = 1,276,8x9,345 on the blackboard. You simply cross out any combinations of digits that total nine. Her procedure went like this 1 2 7 6 8 xThis confirms that rem9 (N) = x, she said. Some solvers will argue that, for certain integers (8256, for example), 'casting out nines' will not be a shortcut at all. Nevertheless, lets keep the procedure in mind for the mind-reading demonstration.Modulo-9 comes in handy for checking your arithmetic, said Miss Silverwood. For summing, where X plus Y = Z, you will see that rem9 (X) plus rem9 (Y) must always be equal to rem9 (Z). And for multiplying, where X times Y = Z, then rem9 (X) times rem9 (Y) must always be equal to rem9 (Z). It is not difficult to confirm Miss Silverwoods assertions. Her own proofs were quite elegant, each based on the observation that every integer X can be represented by 9 times some integer quotient plus a remainder (X = 9Q + R).Such calculations will not catch every number blunder, she said, but only extremely unlikely errors escape detection, and each will have plenty to do with the cipher nine. The students began looking intently at the clock on the wall -- but not with their usual afternoon restlessness. Some of you, said Miss Silverwood, are thinking that I am running out of time that I must hurry up and finish telling you how the mind-reading trick worked. Well, the job is almost done. You all recall that at the beginning, I invited you to choose an arbitrary decimal integer. Lets call it A. I then asked you to form a new integer B by simply rearranging all the digits in A. You found the difference by subtracting one from the other, A - B. Be prepared for a surprise. Miss Silverwood raised her eyebrows and exclaimed, For any value of A and any rearrangement of its digits B, rem9 (A - B) = 0! he glanced at the clock and quickened her pace. Take any particular digit d in A. Lets say it is located at the fifth position from the decimal point, so that its value in A will be 105 d. Suppose you move d two positions to the right in B, making its value there 103 d. Using the special features of the cipher nine, we have the digit d multiplied by one -- plus the digit d times a number comprising five nines, as 99999 d. In B, we have the same digit d multiplied by one -- plus the digit d times a number comprising three nines, as 999 d. Miss Silverwood lined up these terms on the blackboard, ready for the subtraction of A B. We see that d d = 0! Her exclamation point stood a foot tall. Look at that other coefficient of d, she exclaimed. The difference 99999 999 = 99000, which is divisible by nine. The same outcome is assured for all other digits in A as each gets relocated in B, which confirms that rem9 (A - B) = 0. The school bell rang. You now have everything you need to perform the Paranormal Number trick, said Miss Silverwood. She grasped up her purse and clomped toward the door. Have a good weekend. The students continued to sit at their desks, scribbling in their notebooks. And discovering. On Monday, Mr. Johnson returned to his algebra class and was astounded by the paranormal powers of his students. Some of them. |

Thirty-six year-old, Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming, is a renown filial son who currently lives with his parents in Tai Koo Shing. Kenneth has been rumored with TVB colleague, Nancy Wu Ding Yan, ever since their collaboration on a dance show in 2008.
Recently, there were rumors that due to Kenneth being dissatisfied with Nancy's princess attitude, the pair have split. Allegedly, Kenneth requested breaking-up and chased after Selena Li Sze Wan instead.
Allegedly, during the filming of A Fistful of Stances <鐵馬尋橋> last year, Kenneth developed feelings for Selena. To make Selena happy, he often bought breakfast and supper for her. This aroused the curiosity of fellow cast members.
When Selena officially broke up with Patrick Tang at the end of 2009, Kenneth started openly pursuing her. Allegedly, in March 2010, he succeeded in winning Selena's heart. On April 18th, Selena and Kenneth were spotted leaving in the same car, after the cast and crew viewing of the finale of A Fistful of Stances together.
Source: Tom.com
Jayne: Kenneth looks very good with Selena. They've worked together in the past several times, so they've known each other for some time. But Kenneth was rumored with Margie Tsang previously and Selena was dating Patrick Tang back then.
I never truly believed the rumors about Kenneth and Nancy. But I wonder if Selena and Kenneth might be a possible item? He doesn't often dress up for events, but he put on a tie for the grand opening ceremony of Selena's beauty school. The other artists appeared in jeans and very casual outfits.

Ive waited for this!
OMG! I love this couple soooo much<3 If this really is true, that would be the best thing ever! They collaborated in the Master of Taichi, The Four, A fistful of stances, Herbalist Manual,and a whole lot of other dramas. I remember liking Kenneth and Kate before because they collabed a lot, but it was like an older brother younger sister feeling rather than couple. To be honest I've never trusted the rumours with Nancy and Kenneth but still, in any cases, i wish both of them luck. KenSelena<3
But they r not 2gether in real life
Well Kenneth and Selena have worked together many times in the past as onscreen lovers..wouldnt be suprised that they developed a spark..dont relationship usually start off as on-screen lovers and then developed into off screen?
but hey they are cute together wish them both luck selena deserves someone better then patrick anyway.
Hmm…. I think they really match up as a couple
they look so perfect together =) i totally agree that they should work towards the relationship and make it official.. can't wait to see them announcing it on da news some day! perfect match everr!

Natural Swimming Pools Intro
Natural Swimming Pools and Swimming Ponds
A natural swimming pool, sometimes called a swimming pond where designed as such, offers a completely natural alternative to chemical pools/ozone or salt pools. They are chlorine-free, and harness nature's processes, with microorganisms and plants balancing the water chemistry and maintaining clean, clear and hygienic conditions for natural swimming.What is different about CWR's Natural Swimming Pools?:
- Scientifically proven bio-filtration system to guarantee clean and clear water 365 days of the year
- 5 Pool types to give flexibility and meet client requirements (size, shape, style, level of planting/wildlife, budget etc.)
- 20:80 ratio regeneration zone vs. 50:50 in swimming ponds
- User friendly - no dosing with chemicals, no water replacement, minimal top up quantities, comfortable maintenance, ease of use
- Versatile system, adaptable to your requirements and tastes (surface area, naturalness, aesthetics, comfort, functionality etc.)
- Working with a partner community that is supported by a team of scientists, ecological engineers, sustainability consultants, landscape designers and architects (great expertise)
- CWR pools can be heated up to 28 degrees (unlike many swimming ponds)
Natural Swimming Pools explained
A Natural Swimming Pool is a wonderful combination of a swimming pool and a naturally functioning wetland, creating a clean and chemical free environment for you to swim in and a wildlife attraction for your garden. They can bring an essence of Victorian England back to the country.
The Benefits of a natural swimming pool:
- Clean, Clear Water (no mud, no chemicals)
- Affordable (similar cost as a conventional pool to build, but considerably lower running costs)
- Low maintenance (much less than a chemically treated pool)
- Year round beauty of a water garden (traditional pools can be unsightly, especially in winter)
- Increase in Property value (traditional pools can actually de-value property prices)
- Passive solar heating (for extended swimming opportunities)
- Water feature therapy
- Wildlife enhancement (if designed to suit, the pool can offer a habitat for many rare plants and animals)
- Can be retro-fitted for conventional swimming pool conversion
- The pool can be used in the winter (e.g. ice-skating)
Natural Swimming Pool Design
The basic philosophy behind water quality in a conventional swimming pool is to kill everything short of killing the swimmer. There is another way. In a natural swimming pool we harness natures' own processes to produce clean, clear water. Friendly bacteria keep the water balanced and clean, just as nature intended.
The swimming area is structurally distinct from the wetland, or 'regeneration zone', which is a shallow area containing a permeable substrate where friendly microorganisms (beneficial bacteria), reeds and nutrient hungry aquatic plants filter the water as it percolates through the bed. Pools can be designed to fit any sized garden, but will usually have a depth in the swimming zone of 1.5-2m.
Clear Water Revival pools are distinct in their ability to be designed in any style to fit any space. Where as your traditional natural swimming pond has a 50-50% split between swim zone and regeneration zone, our pools can have as little as 14% surface area taken up by planted zone and they work just as well as a small plunge pool compared to a large pool.
Some technology can be used to assist in maintaining the balance; e.g. skimmers to remove debris falling onto the surface; small artificial filters which give a final polish to the water; or UV sterilizers, which we do not employ but some may use to insurance against extreme environmental conditions such as in hotter climates or in pools which are in heavy public use.
In order that a congruous natural appearance is maintained, the retaining structure of the swimming zone, such as a concrete or timber wall, will be obscured under the surface of the water. We feel it is very important to ensure this artificial structure within the pool is as indistinct as possible, so you will really feel you are swimming in a natural spring. However, we are also able to design more architectured or formal pools where such linear features will be used to give the desired effect.
Natural Swimming Pool Construction
Wherever possible, construction of the pool will make use of either local supplies and/or reclaimed/recycled materials. For example, we would chose to employ replacement cement for concrete walls and footings, or recycled railway sleepers, should timber retaining walls be chosen for the swimming area. Often the choice of materials will be dictated by your location (i.e. local availability of recycled materials) in order that your costs are reduced and the sustainable nature of such a construction is maintained. As another example, you may choose to match any rockwork to your local geology.
A typical medium-large pool will take around 1-2 months to complete, depending on the level of technology and landscaping required. Groundwork preparation and installation of the watertight liner is carried out by specialist appointed contractors, ensuring best build quality.
Renewable energy options
A typical heated swimming pool uses more energy than consumed by the average 3 bed UK house. Renewable energy options can be added to heat the pool in an environmentally sustainable manner, as well as provide power to the pumps. Technologies available include ground source heat pumps, solar thermal panels, wind turbines and small scale biomass boilers. Renewable energy systems can also be designed and sized to meet the requirements of a nearby dwelling if requested.
Natural swimming pools tend to cost the same as conventional swimming pools, however, their maintenance and running costs are considerably less. Clear Water Revival can provide you with a proposal and quotation tailored to your exact requirements and location. Existing swimming pools can be converted into natural swimming pools at a lower cost to a new build, helping to turn an eyesore into a beautiful water garden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Stellaluna is a fictional female fruit bat in a children's book of the same name by author Janell Cannon, written in 1993. This book aired on the PBS series Reading Rainbow in 1994. On that episode, Anne Jackson narrated the story. It is featured in the 2001 movie I Am Sam. In addition, MGM and Scholastic Productions released a 2004 animated version of Stellaluna on DVD.
In 2005 the author received a Bat Conservation Award from the Organization for Bat Conservation.[1] Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children."[2] It was one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal.[3]
Contents |
A mother fruit bat loves her baby called Stellaluna very much and would never let anything happen to her. When the two are attacked by an owl, the predator knocks Stellaluna out of her mother's safe embrace. Soon the baby bat ends up in a bird's nest filled with three baby birds named Pip, Flitter and Flap. The mother bird will let Stellaluna be part of the family only if she eats bugs, does not hang by her feet and sleeps at night.
When all the baby animals grow, they learn to fly. When Stellaluna and the birds are out playing, it gets dark and the birds go home without her because they will not be able to see in the dark. Stellaluna keeps flying, but when Stellaluna's wings hurt, she stops to rest. When she does, she hangs by her thumbs. Soon another bat comes to ask why Stellaluna is hanging by her thumbs. She tells the bat the story of what had happened after she and her mother were attacked by the owl. Another bat interrupts the story. That bat is Stellaluna's mother. Stellaluna and her mother are happily reunited and Stellaluna finally understands why she is so different.
Excited about learning how to be a bat, Stellaluna returns to Pip, Flitter, and Flap in order to share her new experiences. They agree to join Stellaluna and the bats at night, but find they are unsuited to flying at night and nearly crash. Stellaluna rescues them and the four of them decide that while they may be very different, they are still friends.
In 1996, the book was adapted into an interactive PC version from Living Books.
In 2004, an animated version of Stellaluna was produced by Scholastic Productions and released on DVD by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. However, this version was panned by some fans of the original book as "truly unfaithful" and received mixed to negative reviews. On February 14, 2012, the movie was re-released on DVD by the New Video Group with added features such as an activity book.
In 2009 the Center for Puppetry Arts performed Stellaluna adapted by the Tears of Joy Theatre from Portland, Oregon.[4]

I cannot find out online who the developers of this game are individually, although the company VOLV lld is located in Beijing according to their site. The reason I mention this is something that caught my eye in the screenshot. It could be an accident, or not. I tend to believe it isn't.
Basically when you look at the soldier whose uniform resembles that of the German you will notice on center of his shirt is a depiction of a flag that is horizontal, black on bottom, red on top. Why this is important, at least to me, is that while it is obviously not the flag used by the nazis in ww2 (I know that its depiction in games may be legally prohibited in some countries). The important part is that this is a real flag and it's most basic version, without symbols is used by the nationalists in Ukraine today. Do you see where I am going with this? (Brief summary in case you want to know)The game features a side that looks like Russians based on clothing and the red stars. This pointed to me that this isn't a coincidence that the game has the red and black flag of Ukraine nationalist, which is also the color scheme of Ukraine's military forces. The flag represents the Ukrainian national defense army, and similarly, the Ukrainian partisan army. The flag existed since before WW2 , when Ukrainians fought a war against USSR. USSR called it (and Russia calls it today) a civil war, suggesting that Ukraine was a soviet territory. So briefly in the first year of the 2nd World War Ukrainian nationalist army allied with the invading Germany in hopes of acquiring independence. Of course it didn't work and most of them were killed by both the USSR and the Nazis. Crimean Tatars also allied with Germany back then, and were punished by massive exile by USSR. If you follow any world events today you may know that those people who are supporting Putin or are Russian nationalists call Ukraine's government and it's modern nationalists "fascists", while pro Ukraine Ukrainians call Putin "Putler". As you may have noticed I tried to describe known to me historical events as briefly as possible and tried to insert my opinion as little as possible. That out if the way, I noticed the peculiar way in which Russians and Germans are depicted in this game. If this is just a coincidence then of course it is not a big deal. But this seems to be more than simply a coincidence, because of the recent events and specific symbolism. If this game is great, none of that stuff mentioned above should matter. I have yet to play it for more than five minutes. But if this is intentional, I think it is very inappropriate and is in poor taste so to speak. I know that the game is probably made in Beijing. It is very possible that the artists working on the game have strong political views, or that some development of the game was outsourced to the Russian Federation, which could also explain it. I am curious whether anyone else noticed this, or maybe anyone has something to add. |

"Cat's pajamas" isn't a term that should be thrown around frivolously, but Jennifer Lawrence has earned due claim to the title. On Tuesday, the blossoming young actress embraced the heroism of her The Hunger Games character Katniss Everdeen when she spotted and attended to an ill woman in the neighborhood of Santa Monica, Calif. According to Daily Mail, Lawrence and an unidentified male bystander (both pictured below) rushed to the aid of a woman when she suddenly collapsed.
Lawrence, 21, and the bystander called for paramedics after unsuccessful attempts to revive the woman:
This act of decency comes in addition to being simply one of the most likable stars in Hollywood — Lawrence has freaked out David Letterman, has beaten up The Hunger Games costar Josh Hutcherson, and has played "chicken ball" with Jimmy Fallon. And now this. The young star is hell bent on proving to the world just how incredible she is.

malmo university desis lab
The project
Living Labs experiments towards public and collaborative
Our program is divided in diverse tracks aimed at developing new solutions for the public sector promoting the cross-sectorial collaboration between grass root iniatives coming from NGOs, companies, citizens and the public sector.
Track1: Incubator for entrepreneurs with a focus on social innovation.
The City of Malmö is initiating an incubator for social innovation. We got the commission to conduct a series of workshops to explore what such a incubator could be. Over 30 actors from private, public and third sector as well as academia participated in this collective scenario building. But, the centralised incubator with a focus on new jobs that is now being implemented differs from the recommendations from the workshop participants that advocated a distributed model based on already existing resources. This points to the difficulties in dealing with this kind of "public and collaborative" design that has to be further explored. Also to be explored is the future relationship between the centralized incubator and the wider social innovation landscape in Malmö.
Expected results: reflection about cross-sector collaborative design processes. The result will be collected in a draft for a book chapter.
Track2 :Herrgårds women association as a resource for new forms of public services
Herrgårds women is a NGO of immigrant working in one of Malmö roughest neighbourhoods.
They are dealing with education, social and health issues involving their members and the local communities. Their experiences have shown how in some occasions how they can be more effective than public agencies in tackling specific issues. Together with them we are exploring how these activities could become a resource for Malmö city and generating new forms of public services.
Expected results: reflections on the role of NGOs in the public sector, reflections on the process of an NGO becoming a cooperative (challenges, opportunities). The results will be collected in a draft for a book chapter.
Track3:STPLN as new physical platforms for people empowerment in the city
STPLN is a building owned by the city of Malmö and run by the NGO STPLN. It is a platform supporting new activities in the cultural and creative sectors. In collaboration with the NGO we are running a maker-space inside a house, a workshop where people can access tools and machines to (build) almost anything, and supporting diverse projects growing in the house. STPLN represents an experiment about how an NGO connected with diverse actors could support the development of new ways of nurturing the cultural and creative sector.
Expected results: reflections on how a NGO can work as a platform for diverse kinds of innovation and how alternative economies could be established.The results will be collected in a draft for a book chapter.

Fall is in the air, and if you're a high school junior or senior, that means college applications. Applying to college can seem like a daunting task -- but one thing that you shouldn't worry about is the application essay. This 2-part workshop will explain what colleges are looking for in those essays they ask you to write. Applying for a couple of scholarships? The workshop will address those, too. By the end of the class series, you should have a good grasp of what makes a solid essay—arguably the most important part of any application.
Parents, this class series is free—it's completely funded by the Bartram Trail Branch Friends of the Library. Pre-registration is requested, and can be arranged by calling the library at 827-6960.

Garnet Hill Retro Ruched One-Piece Swimsuit
Just not working for me...
Sadly, this beautiful and well made suit is going back because its not flattering for my shape. The plunging neckline is too revealing and its uncomfortably snug around my midsection which is probably due to the strong tummy control feature. The Garden floral is a truly beautiful print!
February 16, 2015
Swimsuit is functional and beautiful!
The neckline is not too plunging and the look of the suit is classic yet is still sporty! I like having the versatility of looking good but having a suit that stays on me when I go swimming in the ocean and this one fits both criteria. Highly recommend it. I sized up from the true fit and I bought the 12 (as I have a very long torso). Also bought on sale and am very pleased!

Nice Suite ~ Needs Tweaking!
Sadly this had to be returned. Sad because I bought it at an amazing discounted price. Unfortunately this is cut WAY TOO LOW! I discounted other reviewers who said the same thing. Big mistake! It is far too revealing without enough lift and support. I am a 50 something, as are most of the women buying these, and this design will not work for us. Let's face it guys, a younger women with a great figure does not buy this suit. This is for the over 40 crowd. I gave it an overall of 3 stars because although the quality is there the design is not. Great quality suit just needs tweaking.

This suit works for an average torso. I am between sizes, so the 10 is a little snug, but the 12 was too big. Overall I love the suit. It I'd durable for my water aerobics class several times a week.

Love this suit!
This suit is super flattering and very snazzy. I read the other reviews and ordered an 8 (I'm usually between an 8 and a 10). I do not have any problem with the straps - it provides plenty of support and coverage. Have gotten lots of compliments!

Really great one piece!
I love this suit so much that I bought it in two patterns (and had to really really talk myself out of a third.)
I feel somewhat modest as it's a one piece, but still really attractive with the cut and silhouette. My only minus is that, with DD bra size, the low cut leaves me feeling a little inappropriate while at the neighborhood pool with my four year old. Still, overall, I love this suit!

Jackson: Apple Needs a 'Big Thing' to Vault $700
NEW YORK (RealMoney) -- Apple (AAPL) has gone from being a value stock in 2010 to a momentum stock in 2012, and then back to a value stock for most of this year. After spending most of 2013 in the red -- at one point down 30% for the year -- it's now up 3% for the year.
Many are wondering where it can go in 2014 and if it can get back to $700. I think it can, but to go far beyond it will need more than the rumored new products of a TV and a watch.
To get back to the $700 level next year, Apple just has to perform. That means it just basically has to keep putting one foot in front of the other on its current trajectory with the existing product line-up.
In 2014, Apple fans can look forward to:
- An iPhone 6 with a larger screen size;
- A totally revamped iOS -- even beyond the current update and break from the old Scott Forstall days;
- An actual Apple TV;
- An iWatch or iBand to help you track your health information;
- Probably some version of iOS in your car;
- The regular revamping of the product line;
- A continued growth of iTunes and App Stores revenue from the growing iOS user base;
- A deal with China Mobile that moves significant volumes of iPhones there.

Researchers analyzed the dietary fat intake of 47,866 men aged 40-75 for 14 years. During this period 2,965 new cases of prostate cancer were reported. Four hundred forty-eight of these cancers had progressed into an advanced stage.Review of the data showed there was a significant association between the type of fat consumed and the risk for developing prostate cancer. Men consuming the highest quantities of EPA and DHA from fish experienced an 11% reduced risk for developing prostate cancer, with a 26% risk reduction observed for advanced prostate cancer. No association was seen between alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) intake and overall prostate cancer incidence. However, men with prostate cancer consuming larger amounts of (ALA) were twice as likely for their cancer to have progressed into an advanced stage.Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 2004;80:204-16

text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Not Praying Jabez" first appeared in the May 2002 issue of Touchstone. Not Praying JabezJ. Daryl Charles on a Little Book with a Big Problem While the religious book publishing industry is currently experiencing something of a boom, one book—all 93 pages of it—has taken the industry by storm, putting its publisher, tiny Multnomah Press of Sisters, Oregon, on the map overnight. As of this writing, sales of Bruce Wilkinson's best-seller, The Prayer of Jabez, are somewhere between eight and ten million (it is difficult to be precise, since the volume is flying off the shelves as fast as the shelves allow themselves to be stocked). While people outside the Protestant Evangelical community might wonder what all the fuss is about, The Prayer of Jabez (PJ ) needs no introduction to Evangelicals, who, based on sales, really do believe that the book is not merely the best thing since, but better than, sliced bread. Long before I actually picked up a copy of the book to read for myself (based on moral principle, I absolutely refused to purchase what would have been sales number 8,473,529 of PJ), my initial impression of the book stemmed from how it is being marketed. One religious book distributor is selling PJ in packs of ten—which helps explain why the book is selling like hotcakes. Evidently, the excitement being generated by mass sales has created something of a "Jabez culture" within Evangelicalism. Inside the back cover of PJ, for example, I read that I can order The PJ Leather Edition, The PJ Journal, The PJ Devotional, The PJ Bible Study, The PJ for Teens, and The PJ Gift Edition. The latest religious book catalog informs me that I can now buy The PJ for Kids, The PJ for Little Ones, and yes, Jabez: A Novel. (Of course, I personally am awaiting The PJ Canadian Version for Parents of Children with RADS [Religious Attention Deficit Syndrome]). If that's not enough, another catalog tells me the good news that the "extraordinary [Jabez] movement" has now been "captured in song" and is available on CD. Jabez's Grand Appeal I was clearly one of the few Evangelical Protestants who had not yet read the book by the time the fall of 2001 rolled around. But my students forced the issue. "What do you think of The Prayer of Jabez?" was the constant query being thrown my way, whether in class or through e-mail. After all, teaching theology at a pan-Evangelical institution, I could hardly claim ignorance on (or indifference to) a matter that was touching every corner of the religious tradition of which I am a part. What was so utterly captivating about this tiny volume that was taking Evangelicalism by storm? Wherein lay its grand appeal? When I finally read The Prayer of Jabez, I discovered that the author is to be commended for his desire to be "used by God." Zeal is certainly not a quality he lacks. Additionally, the reader cannot help but sense that the author has a high regard for scriptural authority; in his view, the Bible is to be believed, period. Finally, the reader is struck by the extraordinary passion with which the author seeks—and exhorts the reader to seek—divine favor. These attitudes stamp themselves indelibly on every page of the volume. Conspicuous as these virtues are, however, they are not enough to offset the book's flaws—flaws that run deep and require some commentary. Several recurring themes are troubling: in particular, the author's emphasis on the miraculous as normative and the book's very self-centered (rather than Christ-centered) focus on receiving personal blessing. (Both are reminiscent of the "health-and-wealth" heresy prominent in some conservative Protestant circles in the 1970s and 1980s.) The former gives an unrealistic and unhealthy impression of normal Christian living, while the latter reinforces psychotherapeutic tendencies that dominate contemporary culture. Given the absence of any nuanced definition or understanding of "blessing," several questions scream at the reader. For example, is God not blessing me when I must taste death or walk through a dark valley? Can blessing be imparted at all by means of suffering? Where is God's blessing when I must grapple with divine hiddenness or silence? And what is to be said for St. Paul's "I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound," an attitude that offers us "the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need" (Phil. 4:11–12)? Perhaps the apostle had it all wrong after all. These questions cannot be answered rightly with the book's definition of blessing. Properly understood, the divine intention is that we mature, not that we seek after "blessing." Not Ready for Enlargement The author's guiding assumption that God wants to "enlarge" my "territory" and "expand" my "influence" is also troubling. He never stops to consider that perhaps a person is not ready for "enlargement," in which case to "pray for larger borders" is ill-informed, ill-advised, ill-suited, and thus, unwise. In truth, to find contentment in one's present state, which manifests itself, despite the author's emphasis, in not asking for "enlargement," has nothing to do with belief in the miraculous. To the contrary, to be preoccupied with the miraculous, as the author asks of the reader, is a salient mark of immaturity. God's calling for people of faith, it must be stressed, does not necessarily entail "enlargement" or "expansion" for all; such teaching confuses size or amount with divine favor and is unbiblical (though it is very American). Moreover, the author's "promise" that "you will know beyond doubt that God has opened heaven's storehouses because you prayed" (emphasis his) flirts with the theological distortion that divine favor depends on my efforts rather than the divine initiative and the divine purpose. Consider this statement: "God's bounty is limited only by us, not by His resources, power, or willingness to give." As Christian believers struggle with the paradox of divine sovereignty and human moral freedom, this insight from PJ is supposed to help us past inconvenient and nagging theological complexities. Thus, not divine resources and the divine intention, but our manipulation of God for our own designs (despite the author's disclaimer that receiving blessing pleases God), determines the measure of blessing that comes our way. The needed adjustment here, it seems to me, is to stress what PJ leaves unsaid, namely, that which we find in Jesus' parables. The parable of the talents (Matthew 25) is instructive for several reasons, not least of which is that it helps believers define their entrusted sphere of service in the Kingdom of God as well as the awareness of how they are particularly gifted (ten talents, five talents, two talents, etc.). PJ's emphasis on not having because we are not asking enough also shows itself in the manner in which the author admonishes us to ask. Consider this promise: "When you start asking in earnest—begging—for more influence and responsibility with which to honor Him, God will bring opportunities and people into your path." The danger in this sort of statement is that it equates intensity of request—begging—with receipt of the desired blessing. In standard Evangelical, fideistic fashion, it suggests that sincerity, not informed theological reflection, produces the desired effect. This approach mirrors a severe and debilitating misunderstanding of God's character and believers' position as adopted sons of God (cf. Galatians 4:1–7). And it results in the author's well-intended but unfortunate conclusion to the book's penultimate chapter (lamentably titled "Welcome to God's Honor Roll"): "I encourage you to rush back into God's presence and make things right, whatever it takes. Don't squander even for a minute the miracles that He has started in your life. Indescribable good still lies ahead for you and your family." Distorted Living In addition to the book's unbalanced accent on human beings moving the arm of God, its approach to normative Christian living is distorted. Consider, for example, this statement: "The most effective war against sin is to pray that we will not have to fight." The fact of the matter is that discipleship entails, indeed demands, that we "fight" (which is to say, war with) and resist temptation. St. Paul is unambiguous that this conflict is not a war of flesh and blood (Ephesians 6). James 1, moreover, emphasizes that this battle with temptation is both normative and character-building. The catalog of virtues in 2 Peter 1 concurs: We persevere in order to become more godly. Later in the book, Wilkinson claims that "Jabez, whose prayer earned him a 'more honorable' award from God, might have made the case that God does have favorites." What shall we make of this theological contention? At the very least, it dangerously misunderstands (and distorts) what constitutes genuine faith. And in phrasing my assessment in this way I believe I am being kind. Curiously, the author seems not to have pondered why Jabez is not numbered among the "heroes of faith" highlighted in Hebrews 11. Many of these individuals, after all, were not "enlarged" or "expanded." In fact, the writer of the Epistle is emphatic: "All of these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised." These substantial problems go hand-in-hand with the fact that nowhere in the book does the author engage in any serious discussion of theology. In no place does the author reflect on God's character, the implications of Christ's atonement, the person and work of the Holy Spirit, the rigors of Christian discipleship and cross-bearing, or New Testament models for petitionary prayer. As a teacher I am further disappointed that the author did not contextualize Jabez in biblical history. He does not discuss the function of the Hebrew genealogy (in which Jabez is presented). Nor does he consider the possibility that Jabez's prayer is specific to his personal situation (viz., notable suffering and hardship within the familial context), and, therefore, not to serve as a universal prescription. In the final analysis, PJ offers people what they want to hear and avoids what many need to confront. It joins a growing list of best-sellers in the religious book publishing industry, almost all of which belong to the "inspirational/devotional," "historical fiction," or "breakthrough/unlock your potential" genres. PJ, as the subtitle indicates ("Breaking Through to the Blessed Life"), belongs to the last and endorses a view of Christian living that can accurately be called "Christian magic." PJ's author promises us: "Through a simple, believing prayer you can change your future. You can change what happens one minute from now." Doubtless many who have benefited from their reading of PJ will object that I am too critical of the book. After all, the author is sincere and, at least in some Evangelical circles, is deemed to have served God effectively in the past. Nevertheless, in my view the book's strengths are outweighed by one deeply troubling tendency: It magnifies—and distorts—half-truths, which inevitably masquerade as "the gospel truth." For now, at least, I won't be "praying Jabez" along with my many Evangelical brothers and sisters. I'm just not sure I'm at all ready to have my territory enlarged. J.

Motion: Your Eye in the Sky for Computer Room Surveillance
One non-software tweak I have considered but not yet implemented is a motion sensor for the light in my server room. This neatly solves the problem of making sure there is enough light in the room when Motion records an event. Something moves in the room, the lights come on and Motion records. Motion-sensitive light switches can be found at hardware stores for around $15 and require only basic wiring skills.
For now, I simply let my storage area /var/log/vcr fill with movies and delete them manually on occasion. It probably makes sense to set up an automated mechanism to handle this. My current thinking is that movies should be deleted after 30 days. Obviously, this depends on your particular needs.
Several experimental mjpeg support patches have appeared on the mailing list recently. As I mentioned earlier, mjpeg means that Motion pulls a continuous stream of images off the camera instead of requesting them one by one. This should provide much smoother resulting videos, although current Motion videos from netcams do have an enjoyable Keystone Kops feel to them.
Active development continues on Motion. The mailing list (see Resources) is an excellent place to ask questions and find out about current development. Most of what I've learned about Motion has come from reading the mailing-list archives.
Motion provides a solution for one of the most vexing problems we face in the computer industry, too much data. What good is information such as video imagery if there's more of it than you ever could watch? With a little bit of image analysis, Motion quickly eliminates the boring, unchanging video you don't care about. The results are more effective server room monitoring and more time for you to work on other projects.

having implemented a motion-based video surveillance system in my company some time ago, i was pleased to see that this excellent piece of software is getting exposure on your pages.
however, i was surprised to see it referred to as "GNU Motion", when in fact the program is not made by the FSF and is only referred to as "motion" everywhere else. ..so what's the dilly-o, yo?
Read the manual man: Motio
Read the manual man:
Motion is an open source type of project. It does not cost anything. Motion is published under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL) version 2 or later.

Motion is a very good project.
I think that is necessary an adaptative background subtraction.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
