From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Morality and religion is the relationship between religious views and morals. Many religions have value frameworks regarding personal behavior meant to guide adherents in determining between right and wrong. These include the Triple Jems of Jainism, Judaism's Halacha, Islam's Sharia, Catholicism's Canon Law, Buddhism's Eightfold Path, and Zoroastrianism's "good thoughts, good words, and good deeds" concept, among others.[1] These frameworks are outlined and interpreted by various sources such as holy books, oral and written traditions, and religious leaders. Many of these share tenets with secular value frameworks such as consequentialism, freethought, and utilitarianism.
Religion and morality are not synonymous. Morality does not depend upon religion although this is "an almost automatic assumption."[2] According to The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Ethics, religion and morality "are to be defined differently and have no definitional connections with each other. Conceptually and in principle, morality and a religious value system are two distinct kinds of value systems or action guides."[3] Morality is an active process which is, "at the very least, the effort to guide one's conduct by reason, that is, doing what there are the best reasons for doing, while giving equal consideration to the interests of all those affected by what one does."[4] Other characterizations of morality describe a pre-written, moral code or compilation of rules relevant to a religion, describing those actions that are forbidden or those that are encouraged, by the religious group or the deity they describe.[citation needed] In the vernacular, "moral compass" is a metaphor or action for the direction one is compelled to take based on the ability to justify one's actions based on reasoning. Morality is an active process that requires critical thinking and consideration whereas religions expect adherence to religious codes, generalized and absolute rules that must not be broken or must be actively performed or carried out, depending on the religion and its rules. The distinction between morality as a verb and morality as a noun, is paramount in understanding what morality is, or simply put, how one ought to live. Relegating morality to a moral code such as those found among religions arguably defers choices to absolute outcomes, chosen beforehand, without possibility of exception, based on a belief in Divine Command Theory.[5]
Value judgments can vary greatly between religions, past and present. Monotheistic religions such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism typically derive ideas of right and wrong by the rules and laws set forth in their respective holy books and by their religious leaders. Polytheistic religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism generally draw from a broader canon of work.[6] There has been interest in the relationship between religion and crime and other behavior that does not adhere to contemporary laws and social norms in various countries. Studies conducted in recent years have explored these relationships, but the results have been mixed and sometimes contradictory.[7] The ability of religious faiths to provide value frameworks that are seen as useful is a debated matter. Religious commentators have asserted that a moral life cannot be led without an absolute lawgiver as a guide. Other observers assert that moral behaviour does not rely on religious tenets, and secular commentators point to ethical challenges within various religions that conflict with contemporary social norms.
Within the wide range of ethical traditions, religious traditions co-exist with secular value frameworks such as humanism, utilitarianism, and others. There are many types of religious values. Modern monotheistic religions, such as Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and to a certain degree others such as Sikhism, define right and wrong by the laws and rules set forth by their respective gods and as interpreted by religious leaders within the respective faith. Polytheistic religious traditions tend to be less absolute. For example, within Buddhism, the intention of the individual and the circumstances should be accounted for to determine if an action is right or wrong.[8] A further disparity between the morals of religious traditions is pointed out by Barbara Stoler Miller, who states that, in Hinduism, "practically, right and wrong are decided according to the categories of social rank, kinship, and stages of life. For modern Westerners, who have been raised on ideals of universality and egalitarianism, this relativity of values and obligations is the aspect of Hinduism most difficult to understand".[9]
According to Stephen Gaukroger, "It was generally assumed in the 17th century that religion provided the unique basis for morality, and that without religion, there could be no morality."[10] This view slowly shifted over time. In 1690, Pierre Bayle asserted that religion "is neither necessary nor sufficient for morality."[11] Modern sources separate the two concepts. For example, The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Ethics says that,
For many religious people, morality and religion are the same or inseparable; for them either morality is part of religion or their religion is their morality. For others, especially for nonreligious people, morality and religion are distinct and separable; religion may be immoral or nonmoral, and morality may or should be nonreligous. Even for some religious people the two are different and separable; they may hold that religion should be moral and morality should be, but they agree that they may not be.[12]
Richard Paula and Linda Elder of the Foundation for Critical Thinking assert that "most people confuse ethics with behaving in accordance with social conventions, religious beliefs, and the law". They separate the concept of ethics from these topics, stating that
The proper role of ethical reasoning is to highlight acts of two kinds: those which enhance the well-being of others—that warrant our praise—and those that harm or diminish the well-being of others—and thus warrant our criticism.[13]
They note problems that could arise if religions defined ethics, such as (1) religious practices like "torturing unbelievers or burning them alive" potentially being labeled "ethical", and (2) the lack of a common religious baseline across humanity because religions provide different theological definitions for the idea of sin.[13] They further note that various documents, such as the UN Declaration of Human Rights lay out "transcultural" and "trans-religious" ethical concepts and principles such as slavery, genocide, torture, sexism, racism, murder, assault, fraud, deceit, and intimidation which require no reliance on religion (or social convention) for us to understand they are "ethically wrong".[13]
According to critic Gregory S. Paul, theists assert that societal belief in a creator god "is instrumental towards providing the moral, ethical and other foundations necessary for a healthy, cohesive society."[14] Yet, empirical evidence indicates the opposite.[15] High rates of religiosity are correlated with "higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy, and abortion in the prosperous democracies."[14] Paul concludes that
The non-religious, proevolution democracies contradict the dictum that a society cannot enjoy good conditions unless most citizens ardently believe in a moral creator. The widely held fear that a Godless citizenry must experience societal disaster is therefore refuted.[16]
Religions provide different ways of dealing with moral dilemmas. For example, there is no absolute prohibition on killing in Hinduism, which recognizes that it "may be inevitable and indeed necessary" in certain circumstances.[17] In Christian traditions, certain acts are viewed in more absolute terms, such as abortion or divorce. In the latter case, a 2008 study by the Barna Group found that some denominations have a significantly higher divorce rate than those in non-religious demographic groups (atheists and agnostics). However Catholics and Evangelical Christians had the lowest divorce rates and the agnostic/atheist group had by far the lowest number of married couples to begin with.[18] Religion is not always positively associated with morality. Philosopher David Hume stated that, "the greatest crimes have been found, in many instances, to be compatible with a superstitious piety and devotion; Hence it is justly regarded as unsafe to draw any inference in favor of a man's morals, from the fervor or strictness of his religious exercises, even though he himself believe them sincere.".[19]
The overall relationship between faith and crime is unclear. A 2001 review of studies on this topic found "The existing evidence surrounding the effect of religion on crime is varied, contested, and inconclusive, and currently no persuasive answer exists as to the empirical relationship between religion and crime."[20] Dozens of studies have been conducted on this topic since the twentieth century. A 2005 study by Gregory S. Paul published in the Journal of Religion and Society argues for a positive correlation between the degree of public religiosity in a society and certain measures of dysfunction,[21] an analysis published later in the same journal contends that a number of methodological problems undermine any findings or conclusions to be taken from the research.[22] In another response, Gary Jensen builds on and refines Paul's study.[23] His conclusion is that a "complex relationship" exists between religiosity and homicide "with some dimensions of religiosity encouraging homicide and other dimensions discouraging it".
Some works indicate that lower levels of religiosity in a society may be correlated with lower crime rates—especially violent crime. Phil Zuckerman's 2008 book, Society without God, notes that Denmark and Sweden, "which are probably the least religious countries in the world, and possibly in the history of the world", enjoy "among the lowest violent crime rates in the world [and] the lowest levels of corruption in the world".[24][a] The 2005 Paul study stated that, "In general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy, and abortion in the prosperous democracies," and "In all secular developing democracies a centuries long-term trend has seen homicide rates drop to historical lows" with the exceptions being the United States (with a high religiosity level) and "theistic" Portugal.[25][b] On April 26, 2012, the results of a study which tested their subjects' pro-social sentiments were published in the Social Psychological and Personality Science journal in which non-religious people had higher scores showing that they were more inclined to show generosity in random acts of kindness, such as lending their possessions and offering a seat on a crowded bus or train. Religious people also had lower scores when it came to seeing how much compassion motivated participants to be charitable in other ways, such as in giving money or food to a homeless person and to non-believers.[26][27]
Other studies seem to show positive links in the relationship between religiosity and moral behavior[28][29]—for example, surveys suggesting a positive connection between faith and altruism.[30] Modern research in criminology also acknowledges an inverse relationship between religion and crime,[31] with some studies establishing this connection.[32] A meta-analysis of 60 studies on religion and crime concluded, "religious behaviors and beliefs exert a moderate deterrent effect on individuals' criminal behavior".[33] However, in his books about the materialism in Americas Evangelical Churches Ron Sider accuses fellow Christians of failing to do better than their secular counterparts in the percentage adhering to widely held moral standards (e.g., lying, theft and sexual infidelity).[34]
A Georgia State University study published in the academic journal Theoretical Criminology suggests that religion helps criminals to justify their crimes and might "encourage" it.[35] The research concluded that "many street offenders anticipate an early death, making them less prone to delay gratification, more likely to discount the future costs of crime, and thus more likely to offend".[36]
Religious values can diverge from commonly-held contemporary moral positions, such as those on murder, mass atrocities, and slavery. For example, Simon Blackburn states that "apologists for Hinduism defend or explain away its involvement with the caste system, and apologists for Islam defend or explain away its harsh penal code or its attitude to women and infidels".[37] In regard to Christianity, he states that the "Bible can be read as giving us a carte blanche for harsh attitudes to children, the mentally handicapped, animals, the environment, the divorced, unbelievers, people with various sexual habits, and elderly women".[38] He provides examples such as the phrase in Exodus 22:18 that has "helped to burn alive tens or hundreds of thousands of women in Europe and America": "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live," and notes that the Old Testament God apparently has "no problems with a slave-owning society", considers birth control a crime punishable by death, and "is keen on child abuse".[39] Blackburn notes morally suspect themes in the Bible's New Testament as well.[40]
Bertrand Russell stated that, "there are also, in most religions, specific ethical tenets which do definite harm. The Catholic condemnation of birth control, if it could prevail, would make the mitigation of poverty and the abolition of war impossible. The Hindu beliefs that the cow is a sacred animal and that it is wicked for widows to remarry cause quite needless suffering."[41] He asserts that
You find this curious fact, that the more intense has been the religion of any period and the more profound has been the dogmatic belief, the greater has been the cruelty and the worse has been the state of affairs....You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the dimunition of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world.[42]
According to Paul Copan, Jewish laws in the bible show an evolution of moral standards towards protecting the vulnerable, imposing a death penalty on those pursuing forced slavery and identifying slaves as persons and not property.[43]
According to Bertrand Russell, "Clergymen almost necessarily fail in two ways as teachers of morals. They condemn acts which do no harm and they condone acts which do great harm."[44] He cites an example of a clergyman who was warned by a physician that his wife would die if she had another (her tenth) child, but impregnated her regardless which resulted in her death. "No one condemned him; he retained his benefice and married again. So long as clergymen continue to condone cruelty and condemn "innocent" pleasure, they can only do harm as guardians of the morals of the young."[45]
Russell further states that, "The sense of sin which dominates many children and young people and often lasts on into later life is a misery and a source of distortion that serves no useful purpose of any sort or kind."[46] Russel allows that religious sentiments have, historically, sometimes led to morally acceptable behavior, but asserts that, "in the present day, [1954] such good as might be done by imputing a theological origin to morals is inextricably bound up with such grave evils that the good becomes insignificant in comparison."[47]
All the world's major religions, with their emphasis on love, compassion, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness can and do promote inner values. But the reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate. This is why I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.[48]
There are number of secular value frameworks, such as consequentialism, freethought, humanism, and utilitarianism. Yet, there have been opposing views about the ability of both religious and secular moral frameworks to provide useful guides to right and wrong actions.
According to Thomas Dixon, "Many today ... argue that religious beliefs are necessary to provide moral guidance and standards of virtuous conduct in an otherwise corrupt, materialistic, and degenerate world."[49] In the same vein, Christian theologian Ron Rhodes has remarked that "it is impossible to distinguish evil from good unless one has an infinite reference point which is absolutely good."[50] Thomas Dixon states, "Religions certainly do provide a framework within which people can learn the difference between right and wrong."[49]
Various non-religious commentators have supported the ability of secular value frameworks to provide useful guides. Bernard Williams argued that, "Either one's motives for following the moral word of God are moral motives, or they are not. If they are, then one is already equipped with moral motivations, and the introduction of God adds nothing extra. But if they are not moral motives, then they will be motives of such a kind that they cannot appropriately motivate morality at all ... we reach the conclusion that any appeal to God in this connection either adds to nothing at all, or it adds the wrong sort of thing."[51] Other observers criticize religious morals as incompatible with modern social norms. For example, popular atheist Richard Dawkins, writing in The God Delusion, has stated that religious people have committed a wide variety of acts and held certain beliefs through history that are considered today to be morally repugnant. In accordance with Godwins Law he has stated that Adolf Hitler and the Nazis held broadly Christian religious beliefs that inspired the Holocaust on account of antisemitic Christian doctrine, that Christians have traditionally imposed unfair restrictions on the legal and civil rights of women, and that Christians have condoned slavery of some form or description throughout most of Christianity's history.[citation needed] According to Paul Copan, the position of the Bible to slaves is a positive one for the slaves in that Jewish laws imposed a death penalty on those pursuing slavery and treated slaves as persons, not property.[43]

I have stay in Nairobi on semi regular basis during the past few years and have enjoyed and not enjoyed a wide variety of accomodations from the elegance and history of the Norfolk to the 'economy' of the Embassy. What I was looking for was a safe, quiet, comfortable and affordable place to stay with self catering facilities. The PrideInn Raphta Road, not to be confused with its sister hotel on Weslands Road, proved to be the place.and has been the choice for the past few trips to Nairobi.
On my first visit I was impressed with the size of the bright clean room and the pleasant sitting area with love seat, cofee table and two comfortable chairs. The king size bed was comfortable and with no hesitation the request for additional pillows was honored. The instant hot water in the bathroom was a treat, immediately after the dusty trip from Arusha. The small kitchen with table and seating for two was more than satisfactory and the kitchen with 4 burner stove and oven, decent sized frige and microwave made it possible to prepare a vaiety of tasty dishes in the comfort of our room. There is no hot water in the kitchen tap but a kettle made cleaning up easy. The average Nairobi restaurant has a sameness about it and the high end ones althoug pretty good come with a pretty good bill at thr end of the meal.
The hotel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. It is a one and two story structure with in a walled compound with hotel askari and askari from a security company working side by side. The well kept and attractive garden area with plunge pool, is monitored by security cameras situated in the office. Although away from the hustle and bustle of Westlands business area, the malls and entertainment it is still only a three hundred shilling taxi ride it one wants to enjoy the shopping, dining and the nightlife of Westlands.
I have found all the staff, from housekeeing bar and restaurant very friendly and eager to help.. On the occasson when things did not work a real effor was made to correct the problem. On the one occassion when the staff could not make an immediate repair an upgrade was offered.
On the occassion we have used the restaurant we have found the menu interesting and the food will prepared. The included breakfast although not great is adequate.
The price of for the studio double of somewhat less than $100.00 US seemed, by Nairobi standards fair and reasonable.
I look forward to more relaxing weekends at PrideInn, Raphta road.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Prideinn Hotel offers a luxurious haven where business and pleasure seamlessly blend. Located along Raphta road within the heart of WestlandsEasy access to the Central Business District, Westlands Business Area, International organization, Financial Institutions and other offices. ... more less

Can you recommend a good lens?
Can you recommend a good lens?
Feb 21, 2014
Hi all, I've just got myself a 40D body, and I have no lenses at the moment, I'm just borrowing off my friend.
I quite like the idea of a prime lens, using the EF 50mm f1.8 at the moment, it works well, no IS though, I like IS.
How much more usable is this lens to have over say the standard 18-55 that people get in the kit.
Also looking at other options as opposed to the standard 18-55 f3.5-5.6, how is the 17-55? Quite fancy the 15-85mm, how would this one single lens compare to say having both a 50mm prime and a 18-55?
Also thinking of a good medium zoom lens... something like 70 - 250, how does that compare to that basic 70-300?
A macro wouldn't go amiss... tbh, I'm not sure what I want it for at the moment, a bit of wedding/event/street photography would be great, maybe some portaiture.
Not looking to spend L series money at the moment. What do you guys recommend?
Thanks, D

Lezyne Micro Drive Front Light
Price: $49.99

The Lezyne Micro Drive Front Light will slide in nicely between the other items mounted on your handlebars to give you 150 lumens looking forward, and 180 degrees of visibility. The most obvious difference between the Micro Drive and other lights is the CNC-machined aluminum body. In the event that you take a spill, the Micro Drive can handle it. The machined aluminum body also dissipates heat, which can damage LED bulbs over time. The Micro Drive is sporting a redesigned power button that increases the headlight's water- and weather-resistance. The new power button hides the green and red LED's that allow you to monitor battery level without losing a pedal stroke. When the headlight is on, the indicator (locator on top of the light housing) will be either green, red, or flashing red to indicate power level. The Micro Drive is also equipped with Lezyne's Maximum Optical Reflection one-piece internal reflection technology. The result is a light with fewer parts and a smoother, wider Uniform Power Beam. The Micro Drive has five modes: Overdrive (200 lumens), Blast (150 lumens), Enduro (100 lumens), Flash (100 lumens), and Economy (50 lumens). Lezyne's side visibility technology makes the Micro Drive visible from 180 degrees at night without illuminating your handlebars, which can be distracting. It includes Li-ion, rechargeable batteries and a USB charger, and a nylon handlebar mount. The Lezyne Micro Drive Bicycle Headlight comes in Black and Silver and is compatible with 31. 8mm or 25. 4mm road or mountain handlebars.

MUSIC BOX: Wyogrown tour stops at home
Jackson Hole, WYO – While Jackson will play host to myriad renowned acts touring across the United States this summer, the Wyomericana Caravan proves that good music is often grown right in our sparsely populated backyard.
The Caravan is once again off and running, fueled by the success of last year's tour, which garnered an article in The New York Times, production of a documentary capturing the tour, and the many concertgoers that attended shows across the Rocky Mountain West. This year's Caravan will again feature the roots rock sound of Jackson's own Screen Door Porch and the eclectic Americana sound of J. Shogren and Shanghai'd.
Witnesses of the last Wyomericana Caravan may notice the absence of Jalan Crossland from this year's tour. Crossland's energy will be missed but the strength and heart of the Caravan is its cultivation of new talent in Wyoming's roots rock scene. This year Planet scribe Aaron Davis and Seadar Rose, of Screen Door Porch, and organizers of the Caravan, enlisted The Patti Fiasco to round out the bill.
"[The] Patti Fiasco has a great following around the state, and once we saw their set at Nowoodstock last year, we knew that they would up the ante for this year's tour," wrote Davis before heading on tour. "Another female-fronted band is pretty damn special too. Alysia has tremendous stage presence and a super-talented band that has played together a long time."
Wyoming native Alysia Kraft is the songwriter and lead singer of The Patti Fiasco. A recipient of the 2014 Fort Collins Music Experiment Peer Award for Best Front-person, she leads a band that that weaves together rock, Americana and alt-country. Formed in Laramie in 2010 after a meeting at an open-mic, The Fiasco earned Best Regional Album from WPR for its 2013 release Small Town Lights and has performed with Lukas Nelson, Great American Taxi and Charlie Musselwhite. Although The Patti Fiasco is now based in Fort Collins, CO, to gain more exposure, Kraft says Wyoming has played a key role in her songwriting.
"I like storytelling and Wyoming is rife with characters, rugged individualists, people who don't give a goddamn," Kraft said. "It's one of the last real frontiers and I'm forever in love."
This love for Wyoming will be on display tonight on the Pink Garter stage. With five shows performed in three states under their belts, the Caravan will be in full-stride before stepping on stage. As was the case at many of last year's shows, it's likely there will be on-stage collaborations between acts.
"You develop such a deeper respect for one another," explained Davis. "But also a camaraderie that's important in this subculture of ours."
Wyomericana Caravan, 8 p.m., Wednesday, May 28 at Pink Garter Theatre. Ages 21 and older welcome. $12 to $15. wyomericana.com; pinkgartertheatre.com.

I press the button as I get into the elevator, and wait for my stop. My master has commanded me to prepare the drop pod for the rescue mission, but of course, I can't get the Rangers for the mission prepared, or they'll know of Junior's plan.
My master is a strange one. He calls me 'Hannah' a lot. I am not Hannah. I am Ultrabeam Megagirl. He seems to think that I am a human. I am not. I am a robot. Unable to love or show mercy, I am made to fit the orders of my commander, my master. He spends a lot of time pondering things in his bedroom, and I admire his intellect. I know what you're thinking – can robots feel admiration? Of course we can. Well, Megagirls can.
The older versions of us can feel certain emotions, like triumph, a sense of victory, and determination. However, I can say with pride – yes, I can feel pride – that I am of the newest technology; my wires are programmed with the newest and best software available currently. Therefore, I can feel almost every emotion that a human can feel. Pride, determination, triumph, resentment, jealousy, and many others. However, neither mankind, nor a robot they've created, has managed to come up with a way for us to feel love. Not that there's really any reason for robots like us to feel love; love is a sign of weakness, a sign of mercy. Say, for example, a Megagirl unit was to fall in love with the enemy? Then all their powers and technology would be beneficial to the side they were originally fighting against, and the side they were made to protect would be destroyed.
I would enjoy harming humans. That would be amazing. However; I have an inhibitor chip. If I were to try and harm a human, a shock of electricity shoots through my system, momentarily freezing my software. I literally cannot move until that pang of electricity is gone, and until I am no longer in danger of harming a human, the electricity will continue shooting through my system. Oh, I've seen Megagirl units try to fight the electricity, and harm their creators, but it fills their body with so much energy that their software goes into overdrives and shuts down. Usually it shortcuts and will never be usable again, but in rare cases, I've seen them repair the Megagirl – more like recycle – into a much less sleek model, an average robot that is of the same capacity of thought as a toaster.
I set to work preparing the drop pod. The engine needs to be started and warmed up, and that quite often takes up to twenty minutes, so I can see why my master wants me to prepare it so early. I stick my finger into the socket where the keys normally go, and send a short bolt of electricity into the drop pod's engine, smiling to myself as the familiar hum of gears turning sounds from the engine.
My right ear vibrates slightly, indicating that someone is contacting me.
"Accept call," I state robotically, and I can now see Junior in the right side of my view screen. His voice comes through the speaker on my ear, sounding very excited.
"That idiot has sent up the distress single!" He exclaims, his face lighting up with a huge grin.
"I have started the engine of the drop pod," I reply, my body automatically returning to the general stance of the Megagirl unit.
His eyes are lit up with some kind of happiness, almost a childlike excitement, and I briefly wonder when I've seen him that happy before. I do not recall seeing my master this elated before in the seven months that I've known him, but I feel as though I've seen him looking this elated. Sometimes I get strange feelings about my master, as though I knew him before I was Megagirl.
But when has he ever been this happy? He usually looks quite sad and dreary, often looking at me with a look of longing. I suppose he wants a female mate, so that he and that human can breed and form a whole family of Junior Jr.'s, and perhaps my physical appearance is what he finds attractive. I'm sure my commander will find a suitable mate within the nearby future; he is anatomically correct, with highly defined cheekbones and silky brown hair, and therefore most females would find him attractive.
"Great," he says, his voice jolting me out of my thoughts. "All we have to do now is alert the others. Can you please do that, Hann- Megagirl?"
I nod, ignoring the fact that he almost called me that strange name again. "Your commands are mine to fulfil."
He sighs slightly and then cuts off the signal, and I'm alone once more. I send a signal to the ship's captain, and then page Commander Up, Lieutenant Taz, and then the grunts, Specs, Krayonder, and Tootsie Noodles. What an unusual name – Tootsie Noodles. Krayonder is also quite an interesting name. I wonder what planet they are from.
My left ear buzzes and I receive a message.
"Open message," I state robotically, and a message from Junior appears on my view screen.
"Megagirl, please come to the platform where the Rangers will get ready to board the drop pod now. I am currently on my way there to inform the other Rangers of their mission. They haven't yet met you, nor are they aware that you're joining them on this mission. Please come so that I may introduce you.
- Junior."
I smirk slightly, anticipated for the mission. I make my way around the drop pod, and travel back up the elevator before walking around. I stand outside the doors and send Junior a page, alerting him of my presence. I hear his loud voice, and smile softly to myself. He's so loud for a human; it's quite endearing. I relax myself, waiting for the signal to start function.
"Allow me to introduce the final member of your team… Megagirl!"
I smirk and my body immediately whirs into position automatically. "Please state a command for me to service you."
"It's… It's… a robot!"Commander Up squeals, and I roll my eyes. Really? He's versed thousands of robots like me, yet he's afraid? What a pussy.
"Megagirl, can you harm humans?"
I snap back into focus and smirk. "No…" They all sigh in relief and I smile sweetly at Lieutenant Taz."But I'd like to."
Everybody jumps and Junior shoots me an annoyed glance before pretending everything is okay, and that there's nothing to worry about. Soon he bundles us all onto the drop pod, and I glance around before noticing that Commander Up and Lieutenant Taz are not with us. I point this out to Specs and order the three of them to go see where they are. Clearly, if the Commander and Lieutenant are not in the drop pod, then some sort of emotional breakdown is probably occurring within the Commander. It'll take more than one grunt to get those two back here.
Soon they all come back, and I cock my head at the Lieutenant.
"What took you so long?" I ask as the drop pod starts to detach itself from the ship.
"Up needed a prep talk," she mutters, crossing her arms over her chest. "What of it?"
I shrug, and go into power-saving mode. My power supplies can last for five weeks without connecting to a charging point, but I prefer to save my energy supplies so that I'm always alert and at my full level of strength. I try to connect to my power supplies each night so that I'm always at full strength. The less power I have, the less energy I have to use up, and by the end of the five weeks without connecting to a charging point, I'm practically at the strength of a human. One time, my energy levels did get that low… That was horrible. I shut down and when I awoke, I had opened my eyes to Junior carefully wiping my brow to keep it clean and shiny. He had been looking at me with a tender expression, one that I have been trying hard to analyse. I haven't a clue what it is that he looks at me – perhaps it's pride? Joy? Some form of happiness to see me working and functioning?
When the drop pod lands, I jolt myself out from my power-saving mode, and my body automatically pulls into the general stance. I walk forward as we explore the planet. Ha, the puny humans need air to breathe. How funny! What would happen if I just happened to turn the oxygen levels off the drop pod? Their heads would blow up. How amusing would that be?
We start searching the hatchery for any life form. I carefully scan the area, but I have to be careful not to mistake the forms of the Starship rangers as one of the life forms that I'm searching for. I continue teasing the Rangers – part of my master's plan was to rile up the Lieutenant and get her off-focus on the mission.
Finally, Up splits us up and suggests we all split up. That idiot, Tootise Noodles, comes up to me suddenly.
"You sure are a beautiful woman," he gushes.
How sweet. "Incorrect statement." I say, not really caring about bursting his bubble.
"You don't think you're beautiful?" He asks, surprised.
Please. I'm the most perfect being ever created. "I am not a woman," I say.
"Oh, I know how you feel!"
Does he really? I'm a robot. I don't 'feel'. Feelings are the definition of human weakness.
"Sometimes I don't feel very much like a man, on account of how I never made love to a woman or nothing!"
Oh, god. I wish I would just power down.
And he's not even finished yet! "Don't get me wrong; I once had a flirtatious relationship with a stack of hay, but that was kinda weird, 'cause this stack of hay was my cousin!"
Well, that certainly explains how a horse ate his cousin, considering horses eat hay and can't digest humans…
"Hmm… All human beings are imbeciles in comparison with robot intelligence. However, you have made all human beings seem like geniuses." I smirk slightly.
"Well, I do like to make people feel good about themselves!"
What the fuck?
"That's why if you take a liking to me, I'll never stop telling you how shiny and natural your hair looks."
Whoa, buddy. "This is not hair. They are synthetic sensors which detect movement, temperature and barometric pressure."
"Well, you must take real good care of it, 'cause I never would of guessed."
I ignore him, as my synthetic sensors start to tingle. "Life signs detected!"
Specs identifies it as a mammal, and I shrug. If it is not the science officer it is inconsequential, and we may as well leave it where we found it. My sensors start to tingle again, and I turn my head to see a whole bunch of alien bugs.
"Calm down, everybody!" Up commands.
Pfft. As though I'll take orders from any other human besides my master. "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The bugs attack and we do too. Somewhere in the fighting, Taz disappears. I follow her trail and try to find her. I don't, but I find another human.
"Are you the science officer?" I ask, readying my hand to tranquilise her.
"No, I'm the schience officer," she states, with an idiotic grin. I roll my eyes and tranquilise her. At least now I can get her back to the Starship and my master's plan will already be half-over.
"Que pasa, you piece of shit!" Taz exclaims. "What'd you do to her?!"
Oh, it seems the little Ranger has caught up. How… cute.
"I have tranquilised our target in order to minimise failure due to human error," I state, glaring pointedly at her.
"The only error we made was bringing you on this damn mission," Taz says in her Mexican drawl.
"Negative," I state, bending down to pick up the science officer. "You have made countless errors."
"Give me the girl. That's a command!"
"You do not have command over clearance. Do not interfere any further or I will be forced to tranquilise you as well," I threaten.
"I said 'give me the girl', and I said it now!" She yells, grabbing the officer by the arm.
"Cool it, skank, you do not know me," I spit.
Somehow, she tricks me, by letting go of the officer so that all the force I was using to hold her pushes me backward.
"Ah! You skank you got me this time!" I growl, angry at myself for being tricked so easily.
It takes a while, but I finally find the Rangers again. They're all boarding the ship, but now these stupid bugs have got me. I could probably kill them all with one blast of my lasers, but my program has gone into overdrive, and I'm reduced to making pitiful beeping noises. Suddenly, Up starts punching the bugs, and his rangers join him. They're saving me – how cute. I break free and march onto the drop pod before pulling Specs off – do I really need another Ranger there to talk to Junior? Psh. I have the science officer, and that was my mission. Farewell, puny humans.
Junior frowns at me. "I can't believe you lost them. Sure, they've come back safe and stuff, but you lost them."
I shrug slightly. As I sit on the table and cross my arms impatiently. "My mission was to bring the science officer back, not the others."
His brow creases attractively – wait, attractively? I mean 'worriedly'. Human females would find it attractive, not a robot like me. His brow creases worriedly and he strokes his chin thoughtfully.
"Dad was pissed," he comments at last.
I smirk. "What's he gonna do? Shut me down? They need me."
"That's not exactly untrue," Junior sighs. "Whatever. Just try not to do something like that again."
I grin. "I can't make any promises."
"That was a command, Megagirl. Whatever. I can't believe this," Junior groans, throwing his head back in exasperation. "We send her down, and she comes back without an egg. What the fuck happened?"
I shrug. "How am I to know?"
He sighs. "I'm going to go spy on those idiots. Talk to you later, Han—Megagirl. You're free to do what you want until I need you again."
A/N: So I'm sorry that this took so long. I've been working on my other fics (Michelle Walker on Figment in case you're curious) and I've had this major writer's block. I promise to try and update more often though! 3 ~MichFish

Alan Solomon, creator of Dr Soloman's Antivirus, has admitted to using Linux to avoid viruses rather than try to combat them on Windows.
His comments come after Symantec's Brian Dye estimated that antivirus systems do not even catch half of cyber attacks.
Writing of his decision on his blog, Solomon said: "There doesn't seem to be much malware for Linux. I don't know why. Some say it's because Linux's security is better, some say it's because fewer people use it. I'm not really bothered."
After contracting a virus from the Register's website "over a decade ago", Solomon decided to format his hard-drive and install Linux, and claims not to have had any trouble since then.
"I think that Brian Dye, a Symantec senior VP, is suggesting that their product isn't really up to the job that you were hoping it would do, and maybe you need to switch to something else," Solomon added.
Symantec is expected to shift focus to a "detect and respond" model of digital security instead of a protection method, following further remarks made by Dye.
The analysis of both security experts tallies with remarks made by Blue Coat's Hugh Thompson, speaking to CBR earlier this month.
Thompson advised companies to stop addressing every breach, but instead to create a security net to allow quick recoveries.
"If you plan for that kind of failure I think that's potentially a game changing scenario," he said.

Throughout this season of Lent (which leads up to Easter), we will be studying the Penitential Psalms; as we see our sinfulness, we'll also see how blessed we are to have Jesus Christ as a Savior. Our devotions during this season take a different angle – we will hear everyday from John Piper's tremendous booklet 50 Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die. As the title states, we'll focus on Scriptural reasons for Christ's death, increasing our thankfulness along the way!
John Piper is a very gifted and accomplished author – please go to www.desiringgod.org for a treasure trove of resources for Christian living!
To Heal Us from Moral and Physical Sickness
Upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
[He] healed all who were sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases." Matthew 8:16-17
Christ suffered and died so that disease would one day be utterly destroyed. Disease and death were not part of God's original way with the world. They came in with sin as part of God's judgment on creation. The Bible says, "The creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope" (Romans 8:20). God subjected the world to the futility of physical pain to show the horror of moral evil.
This futility included death. "Sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin" (Romans 5:12). It included all the groaning of disease. And Christians are not excluded: "Not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit [that is, those who trust Christ], groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies" (Romans 8:23).
But all this misery of disease is temporary. We look forward to a time when bodily pain will be no more. The subjection of creation to futility was not permanent. From the very beginning of his judgment, the Bible says God aimed at hope. His final purpose was this: "that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God" (Romans 8:21).
When Christ came into the world, he was on a mission to accomplish this global redemption. He signaled his purposes by healing many people during his lifetime. There were occasions when the crowds gathered and he "healed all who were sick" (Matthew 8:16; Luke 6:19). This was a preview of what was coming at the end of history when "he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore" (Revelation 21:4).
The way Christ defeated death and disease was by taking them on himself and carrying them with him to the grave. God's judgment on the sin that brought disease was endured by Jesus when he suffered and died. The prophet Isaiah explained the death of Christ with these words: "He was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5). The horrible blows to the back of Jesus bought a world without disease.
One day all disease will be banished from God's redeemed creation. There will be a new earth. We will have new bodies. Death will be swallowed up by everlasting life (1 Corinthians 15:54; 2 Corinthians 5:4). "The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox" (Isaiah 65:25). And all who love Christ will sing songs of thanks to the Lamb who was slain to redeem us from sin and death and disease.

Matthew Grasse: Missing the point
I guess I'm one of the first new shuttle riders to the west end. The shuttle is very pleasant; it has that new shuttle smell, the driver is happy to have a new job. I'm glad the city has addressed this very important issue.
Sam Jones: School-time efficiency
Reading the articles in the paper regarding whether or not our school district should cut select standardized tests from our academic program got me thinking about school-time efficiency.
Mark Traum: Thank you, attendees
A warm and heartfelt thanks to our wonderful and extremely generous attendees of last Saturday's inaugural Ski for Parkinson's Nordic event. We are all truly fortunate to be living in such a caring and supportive community.
Omar M. Campbell: Groups comforting
I wish to express my admiration and gratitude to the following law enforcement organizations: town police; state patrol and wildlife officers; County Sheriff's Department and All Crimes Enforcement Task Force. Every day, they risk life and limb to protect us residents.
Karen Jimmerson, Jane Bennett: Thank you, Joan
We would like to send a big shout-out to our friend Joan Lazarus and thank her for her incredibly generous outreach to our community during her time as executive director of Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp.

Omar M. Campbell: Having these organizations in comforting
I wish to express my admiration and gratitude to the following law enforcement organizations: town police; Colorado State Patrol; Parks and wildlife officers; Routt County Sheriff's Department; and ACET (All Crimes Enforcement Task Force). Every day, they risk life and limb to protect us citizens.
Scott Wedel: City's path is flawed
The most recent City Council meeting was an attempt to push toward finalizing the location of a police station that instead put the selection process into turmoil and significantly damaged the reputation of the city manager.
Stephanie Finegan: What an opportunity
After reading the latest story about the city of Steamboat looking into becoming a STAR Community, my first thought was "what an opportunity."
Randy Watson: Great Steamboat service
Our family was in Steamboat over the holidays. Beautiful town, a very special place as you know. While we ran into friendly and consumer driven folks everywhere, you should know this, we had a waitress, Keri at Mazzola's that represented your community better than anybody.
Robin Stone: Solving the bear problem
Let's be aware of the probable consequences over the next 30 years of the initial steps Steamboat Springs is considering to solve the bear problem.
Kate Nowak: Grateful to community
Routt County United Way, along with several key agencies and community partners, revamped our holiday program to help families and individuals in need while providing them a chance to participate in the process.Thanks to our wonderful community, the market was successful in helping 239 families and 833 individuals.
Howard Bashinski: Turn on headlights
Please consider this letter my plea to drivers to please turn on their headlights in inclement weather. I think there are still people who don't understand that the purpose of turning on your headlights in the rain or the snow is to make you more visible to others, rather than to help you see better.
Kent Vertrees: Prevent grouse listing
As an adjunct college professor who teaches students in an outdoor classroom near Dinosaur, I am closely following the fate of greater sage grouse. As the longtime manager of a local business, Steamboat Powdercats, I recognize that a healthy sagebrush habitat is an important driver for our local recreation dependent economy, as well as the iconic bird.
Robert P. Baker: Recognize origins
First, let's be clear that the idea of a decorated tree at solstice does not come from any of the theistic religions but is a pagan tradition that predates all of those religions. As a practicing pagan, I am quite happy that Jews, Christians and even Muslims recognize paganism by putting decorated trees in their houses and on their lawns.

When Sasuke uses that energy skill and charges Gaara in a Kakashi fashion, that was sweet. Then u have the three hokages fighting in the later part of the marathon. The show has really started picking up lately.
Yeah I can't wait for Sasuke to catch up with Gaara. That should prove to be an interesting fight. Gaara with a hidden ability/transformation that we have yet to see and Sasuke has his new ti jitsu skills.
The only thing is that if it does happen then Orochimaru will take advantage of it and take over Sausukes body. I could live with out that though.
™Mommy To Micah And Shawn!™
Thanks For The Amazing Tag Pyro!
I hope that he gets to finish off Gaara before Orochimaru kills hokage. If he does in fact have the power to defeat the 3rd hokage.
I do not believe that he has enough power to kill the Hokage or it would have already happened by now. I just think that Gaara needs some serious help.
™Mommy To Micah And Shawn!™
Thanks For The Amazing Tag Pyro!
I would have to agree with you that Gaara is messed up. He does make for a good villian though. I am not so sure that the 3rd hokage can even defeat Orochimaru. I guess it would make more sense for Orochimaru to die by the hands of his former master. Even though Orochimaru is immortal but I would assume that it is only if he has a body to live in, which means he can be killed.

A back door listing, sometimes referred to as a reverse takeover, reverse merger, or reverse IPO, occurs when a privately-held company that may not qualify for the public offering process purchases a publicly-traded company.
By undertaking a back door listing, the privately-held company avoids the public offering process and gains automatic inclusion on a stock exchange. Following the acquisition, the acquirer may merge both companies' operations or, alternatively, create a shell corporation that allows the two companies to continue operations independent of each other.
Although rare, a private company sometimes will engage in a back door listing simply to avoid the time and expense of engaging in an initial public offering (IPO). For example, Archipelago Holdings acquired the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) via a back door listing in 2006. A back door listing usually indicates significant weakness in the acquired company and serves as a warning sign for investors to be wary.

I've been waiting a little while now for this game, and I can say safely that it was worth the wait. From Dust lets you be a god, known as the Breath, over a small tribe who have forgotten how to tame the ridiculously po... Read Full Review

It's been awhile since I've played a game this boring. It starts off with a great premise that's somewhat interesting but only goes sharply downhill from there. Let's get one thing straight from the get-go: this game ... Read Full Review

A slight learning curve and buggy gameplay, but overall very fun.
Spore: G.A. is a solid expansion. I am not going to go into the whole DRM debate, you can find plenty of that everywhere else. For me, the game itself is what's important, and I'm willing to overlook some software debate... Read Full Review

stainless steel catamaran, with proprietary intellectual property right,different size and function.
1.GM-20S multifunctional clean-up ship is used to control and clean up oil spill in sheltered waters. It can also be used as special purpose ship for environmental protection to clean and recovery small-scale oil pollution of sewage and garbage in navigation area.
2.The vessel is steel double- hull form, diesel power, double engines and four screw propellers.
Clean-up ship is a dual-hull ship. It can concentrate and guide water effectively. The oil flow and solid floating refuse (massive oil)that flow into the place between the two hulls have good closure function, and can effectively improve the ship's emergency clean-up operation's celerity and anti-wave capability
3.Ship-lading GM-CFS30 type compound skimmer can separate oil and water efficiently and have high oil recovery efficiency. It can recover oil of low, middle and high viscosity and the massive oil slick. It is with oil-water interface automatic identification function and intelligentialized electro-hydraulic automatic control pumping system, so it has a high oil-water resolving power (patented technology). At the same time, it is equipped with back-up manual control systems, under special circumstances; it may be turned into a manual operation, so it is flexible and reliable. It can adapt to the oil slick recovery environment very well.

Looking for great, high-quality and professional music for your project? Look no further!
Hello! I'm Matthew, I'm a well seasoned and experienced composer with productions that are up to par with music from AAA+ games. I am very well versed and extremely adept in producing/composing in a wide variety of musical genres & styles:
Some of these styles include but are not limited to:
- Orchestral
- Epic/Fantasy
- Rock
- Action
- Jazz
- Electronica (techno, trance, house, dance, dnb, dubstep)
- Hip-Hop
- Chiptune/8-bit
- Classical
...and much more!
A little about myself-- I'm an avid gamer and composer with a shiny new dual major degree in Music Composition and Film Scoring, as well as a minor in Video Game/Interactive Audio Music Production from Berklee College of Music. Gaming and music has always been my life and I pretty much spend most of my time gaming and composing music. I have studied piano, music composition, guitar and percussion since the age of 9 and I plan to continue growing as a musician by producing wonderful music for games and other media. Since I'm still getting used to the new world post-college I've found many little freelance jobs doing game and film music, though I did do some work while I was in school.
So let's get down to it!
Where can I actually hear your music?
Here's my official music website:
Here's my NG Audio Portal link
So what services do you offer?
Complete Music Production Services:
- Full arrangements and productions tailored to your original project needs.
- All musical styles are welcomed.
- Incredibly fast turn around; Get what you need when you need it!
- Risk free and always professional!
- Literally hundreds of pre-made high quality tracks available ready to spice up your project!
I will always strive to create extremely professional music for your project needs that is sure to engage your players into a memorable gaming experience! What most people don't realize is that music and audio is 1/3 of your gaming experience, which means that it can either make or break your game.
Don't forget; Not only do I make music specifically for your game project, but I literally have hundreds of completed high-quality audio tracks that are available for you to use. They can be found on my website.
Other than producing high quality and immersive music for your game, what else can I do for your team?
I am also experienced with many audio middleware programs such as FMOD and Wwise. I am also familiar with implementing audio in Unity 3D.
Where can I see some of your previous work?
You can find my credited work on my website. I've recently only started working on bigger projects so you may not find some of those on there yet until they are released. I am always updating my credited work page as game projects are released.
Sounds great, how can I contact you?
Contact me via my website, send me an e-mail directly, or you may contact me via skype:
Website: http://www.matthewpablo.com/contact
E-mail: email@example.com
Skype: letspretendxcore
I hope you guys take the time to look through my portfolio, I promise you will enjoy what you hear! I'm looking forward to working with many of you guys here from the Touch Arcade Forums. There are some amazing projects that come from this community and I hope to be part of many of them in the near future!
Thanks again!

aeolus January 26, 2013 10:54 PM MotoGP » Honda: Marquez can podium on MotoGP debut MM has a load of expectations on him now and we will just have to wait to see how he responds Remember Pedro didn't set the world on fire. If MM falters he is going to be in a bad situation for sure. Ask Ben about that. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 0 disagree
aeolus January 20, 2013 10:41 PM MotoGP » Ben Spies 'excited' to join Ducati family Ben is now saying he will be only at 80% efficiency for the March test so he is only going to cruise around. That's been his problem throughout his MotoGP career. He took it easy in his last race to get out of the spray of the other riders and then decided to put in a few fast laps for bragging rights and busted it with serious injuries. No, Ben you need to push hard every second or you will always be a second rater. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 2 disagree
aeolus January 16, 2013 3:21 PM MotoGP » Ben Spies 'excited' to join Ducati family I assume Ignite Asset Management joined the Parmac team because of Ben which is good as if a rider brings sponsorship money he is in a better position vis-a-vis the team ownership. Perhaps this was part of the problem at Yam as Rossi's departure meant no Fiat money and Yam never has replaced them tho' Monster is listed as a sponser can't see them giving as much money as Fiat did. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 0 disagree
aeolus January 15, 2013 2:54 PM MotoGP » Hayden expects 'more focus' after Rossi departure I suppose it is possible now with Audi and changes in the race team the Ducati will prove to be a usable tool but with the rider lineup one can't expect miracles as none have proven to be winners except Innonne and that on a docile Moto2 bike. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 14 disagree

aeolus January 04, 2013 11:30 AM Last Edited 790 days ago MotoGP » Ben Spies: The moment I decided to leave Yamaha @shamarone Ben in 2009? Yeah he beat barely an aging Haga and WSB is filled with riders who couldn't cut it in MotoGP. Guys like Ben Reply Report abuse 3 agree 8 disagree
aeolus January 03, 2013 10:06 PM MotoGP » Ben Spies: The moment I decided to leave Yamaha No question Ben had some really bad breaks last year, but as much as I wanted him to do well I have to admit I noticed he was reluctant to push when the track was tricky--damp patches say. He wants perfect conditions and comfort with the bike to give 100%. That doesn't get it at the highest level. He's a fine rider but he just doesn't have all the arrows to dominate. I hope he at least can equal Dovi on the Duck otherwise he is finished in MotoGP Reply Report abuse 10 agree 2 disagree
aeolus November 28, 2012 8:57 PM MotoGP » Hayden behind WSBK duo, Dovizioso misses out To bad Spies is injured as he would have topped the charts. Reply Report abuse 7 agree 43 disagree
aeolus November 21, 2012 8:19 PM MotoGP » Marquez on the move So Honda is placing all their chips on Marc. Not surprising as the peerless Stoner is gone and Pedro, no mater how fine a rider is, just doesn't seem to be a winner. Will Pedro be shocked like Nicky was when the new bike was tailored to his team mate. There stature is similar so maybe not. But Pedro might notice he has become a second class citizen. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 9 disagree
aeolus November 19, 2012 7:38 PM MotoGP » F1 impressed with new US MotoGP venue Awful! All those red lines. Give me Watkins Glen in the late 60s. A strip of asphalt snaking through the trees! No run off. When men were men. No bike races there unfortunately but GP cars and Can Am and Trans Am--the golden years of motor racing. 1000HP Porches fire breathing monsters. Just imagine this circuit when the puny 4 cylinder turbos arrive. Are they serious? No doubt they will have to call in the NASCAR taxi cabs to make the circuit pay. What a laugh. And the klutzes in the stands will lap it up. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 3 disagree

Dielectronic recombination (DR) process plays an important role in high temperature plasmas, where DR can affect charge balance and level populations significantly, and can cause radiative energy loss. Resolvable DR sourced satellite lines are often used for plasma temperature diagnostics, while the un-resolvable ones disturb determining spectral line shape, line intensity, and line position. Data of DR resonant strength is vital for accurate modeling of high temperature plasmas. DR studies are also important for testing atomic structure and atomic collision theories, since they carry information on quantum electrodynamics, relativistic effects, electron correlations and so on. Electron beam ion trap (EBIT) is an accelerator type device, which is capable of acting as both ion sources and light sources. EBIT can produce a special sort of plasma, in which electron energy is tunable and has a very narrow distribution. This made it possible for disentanglement studies on electron ion collision processes in plasmas. In this paper, experimental studies of DR processes based on electron beam ion traps (EBIT) will be discussed.
