Stiffness analysis in the numerical solution of Raman amplifier propagation equations
Optics Express, Vol. 12, Issue 8, pp. 1656-1664 (2004)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (326 KB)
For the first time, the stiffness of Raman amplifier propagation equations is analyzed. And based on this analysis, a novel method for propagation equations is proposed to enhance the stability of numerical simulation. To verify the reliability of this method, simulation experiments are employed by using our method and the existent predictor-corrector method with comparison. The results show that our backward differentiation formulae method behaves much better in stability with a comparative accuracy.

6 Ways to Drive YouTube Viewers to Your Website
What is your business's goal behind posting videos on YouTube? Is it to "get the word out?" To go viral?
Unless you have the magic of Martin Scorsese behind your camera, aim for something more reasonable and quite possibly more profitable: driving viewers to your Website to conduct business with you. Here's a list of six ways to combine your video content with a call to visit your Website or landing page.
1. End of video. If your viewers have made it to the end of the video, they're probably interested in you. So why not conclude their viewing experience with a path for them to get more information?
In this example, HVAC company Maeser gives a directive to call for more information. But most savvy consumers use the Internet to research large purchases like tankless water heaters. It was smart of Maeser to also list its Website URL here.
2. Clickable annotations. YouTube viewers lead busy lives. Only the most compelling (and usually brief) videos keep people engaged for their entirety. (A quick glance at your YouTube Analytics will tell you this sad fact.) So catch people while you still have their attention by using clickable annotations that float on top of your video.
Tech blogger Amit Agarwal created this video on how to see the digits of your blocked out passwords. He also wrote a related post on his Webpage that people can print and reference at their leisure. About 10 seconds into the video, he placed an annotation that gives viewers a chance to get to his site for that additional help in viewing password digits.
3. Video description. YouTube gives you about 65 characters in the first line of the description to talk about the video. Use that real estate to share your Website or landing page with viewers. Be sure to put an "http://" as part of your URL so that the link can be clicked open in a separate tab.
See what I did in the video below? My hope is that if people like my talk and want to hire me to speak at an event about social media best practices, they have an easy way to do so.
4. One Channel banner. The new YouTube One Channel allows businesses to place clickable links in its custom header. Geico used its header as an opportunity to drive channel viewers to customized "get a quote" landing page.
5. Overlays. In fairness to nationwide insurance companies who use animals as mascots, let me explain how Aflac drives Web traffic with its featured videos.
It uses the call-to-action overlay feature. This video follows the rehabilitation of the injured Aflac duck. If viewers want the latest on his recovery, they can click the yellow link in the overlay.
Think about what's compelling enough in your video to make people want to get more information on your Website. Then follow this YouTube tutorial on how to create a call-to-action overlay for your video.
6. Make a video that viewers will love. If your video doesn't resonate with your viewers, no one will feel motivated to click through for more information about your business. Remember: It's not about what you want to say in your videos — it's about what viewers want to hear.
How does your business use videos on YouTube to drive traffic to your Website?

The provincial government announced today that Newfoundland and Labrador's long- and short-term debt ratings have been maintained at A and R-1 (low) respectively by the Dominion Bond Rating Service (DBRS), one of three agencies who rate the province's credit worthiness.
Finance Minister Jerome Kennedy said that given the world economic downturn and its impacts on the economy and fiscal position of the province, he is satisfied with the outcome of the results of the DBRS review.
In a news released, Kennedys said he was pleased with the observation by DBRS that the fiscal discipline demonstrated by the province, its strong liquidity position and efforts to reduce debt continue to provide solid support to the credit profile.
"The stability of the province's credit rating is a significant sign and a reason for cautious optimism, particularly during a global economic recession," Kennedy said.
"DBRS recognizes the efforts of our government over the last number of years in improving our fiscal position and significantly reducing our debt which has resulted in recognition of our current fiscal challenges as being temporary.
"Our government is committed to returning to a surplus by 2011 and we are optimistic about major projects such as the Long Harbour nickel processing facility, the Hebron project and White Rose expansion."
DBRS indicated that total revenues are expected to fall from the previous year due to the impact of lower commodity prices on royalty revenues and the absence of 2005 Atlantic Accord proceeds. The company also indicated that spending for key health and education programs will continue to grow, with a large portion of the spending increase used to address the latest round of public sector labour agreements.
"We have reduced net debt by approximately 33 per cent over the last four years, and we will continue to do so in the future," Kennedy said. "When we reduce debt we improve our credit rating and lower the cost of borrowing, when it is necessary. We are committed to improving our credit rating through fiscal discipline."
Provinces credit rating remains strong: Kennedy
Organizations: Dominion Bond Rating Service
Geographic location: Newfoundland and Labrador, Long Harbour, Hebron White Rose

Do you nibble around the edges first? Do you gulp it quickly in two bites? If you can tell me in vivid detail how you eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, then these luscious chocolate–peanut butter pudding cups are especially for you. Made with half-and-half, a double dose of chocolate, and a dollop of creamy peanut butter, the flavor is intense and continues to blossom as it chills in the refrigerator. Rich and thick enough to stand your spoon in, these chocolate–peanut butter cups are best eaten in small doses. For a softer texture, make the pudding with whole milk instead of half-and-half.–Jill O'Connor
LC Cups Not Included Note
Those cute little chocolate cups in the photo above? They're not included in the recipe, we're sorry to say. But actually, they're not necessary. Not at all. One might even say that though they're a clever vessel, they're something of a distraction from the goodness at hand. One taste of this pudding and we think you'll understand what we mean.
Wicked Good Chocolate–Peanut Butter Pudding Recipe
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 3 1/2 cups half-and-half or whole milk
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Chocolate jimmies, for sprinkling
- 1. In a medium saucepan, sift together the cornstarch, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder. Slowly whisk in the half-and-half until the mixture is combined and smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time, until smooth.
- 2. Place the pudding over medium heat, whisking continuously, until the pudding starts to thicken and large bubbles form on the surface of the pudding and plop, like slowly bubbling hot lava. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Check the consistency of the pudding by running your finger across the back of the stirring spoon; if it leaves a trail that does not immediately fill in, it is thick enough.
- 3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla, peanut butter, and chocolate chips until thoroughly melted and combined.
- 4. Pour the pudding into a large serving dish or eight 4-ounce custard cups or ramekins set on a rimmed baking sheet. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the pudding until very cold, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- 5. To serve, serve the pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of chocolate jimmies. All that's left to do is grab some spoons.

I swear I have to respond to this stupid study everywhere. Its just alarmist crap. Here is a review of the actual study. They leap to some wild conclusions while ignoring a number of important points. http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2013/07/eating-breakfast-can-cut-heart-attack-risk-puh-lease/
Best rule of thumb: if you like breakfast, eat it. If you don't, don't. Look, I'm 6-0 145 and I don't eat breakfast. Obviously, eschewing breakfast hasn't turned me into a bloated hippo.
I've got 65 lbs and 1 inch on him. I feel really healthy. I can't imagine ever dropping to 180 let alone 145! That number scared me but there are a lot of body types at alot of ages
Again I think Dreamliner is much older than both of us (20). So that could make sense as fitness when you are older is more about not getting injured and easing up pain on joints.
I think eating/not eating breakfast comes down to compliance. If eating/not eating helps you hit your caloric/nutritional goals for the day (whatever they may be) then eat/don't eat breakfast.
I cannot imagine skipping breakfast. I also do most of my exercise in the mornings so I usually fuel up beforehand.
Its really whatever you are used to. I worked out this morning at 11am after seeing 3 clients in the gym. Didn't have anything to eat until 1pm when I got home from the gym. It certainly did not hurt me and in fact I have grown to rather like my fasted training.
6-0 145 is who I am. I graduated highschool at 6-0 138. I've never weighted much more than 150. Try as I might to gain weight, I am the opposite of most men. If I force-feed, so as to gain weight, I gain a few pounds in short order ... then my appetite literally shuts down until I return to stasis. Why should I fight it ? Instead, as one poster mentioned, I concentrate on maintaining strength mostly via low-risk/high-payoff exercises.
There appears to be an awful lot of documented evidence that those who eat breakfast live longer lives. I read an article recently, I think they said not eating breakfast created stress, hence aging. I just started eating breakfast again after not doing if for probably a year or so; after reading that article. Here's one: https://www.nedleyhealthsolutions.c...id=142%3Abreakfast&catid=44%3Abook&Itemid=126
A quick google search shows a lot of evidence to the contrary. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en...q=fasting for longevity&btnG=&oq=&gs_l=&pbx=1
I get the fasting...that makes total sense. But I have read quite a few article supporting breakfast for longevity. Additionally, many of the studies that have questionnaires ask that question as a part of their evaluation for the total score. That is with regards to life expectancy. Eating, working out, stress, training. I often wonder just how much I should train-where is the threshold at my age that I'm overworking and deteriorating my body? I just got back from swimming...three days in a row, 3000 yards a day, 9000 in three days. At 63 seems like too much to me. Usually I try and do mon,wed, friday...I'll tell ya, 3000 yards in an hour certainly gets the heartbeat up! If I eat well, not in excess I saty slim. If I try and eat less and skip meals I gain weight. Weird.
For me it's simple- if I'm up for breakfast, I eat it. If I'm still sleeping, like on weekends, I don't.
mal, its all about finding what works for you and making it fit your lifestyle and goals. There are articles supporting just about anything you want. Most of these "studies" are of little value as they just choose a result and then cherry pick the data until it meets their result. As for fasting, the positive effects can be seen in as little as 12 hours a day based on some research. So simply skipping breakfast fits. Its not for everyone. I get that. But I would like to see a good study that supports the positive benefits of eating breakfast. Because I really haven't seen one.
Studies...oh those studies. Remember when smoking was touted as being really good for you and milk, must drink it all day to get healthy and strong bones (now we have fat kids developing at 8 and 9 years old. Breakfast has always been thrown at us as the most important meal of the day, eggs, milk, juice, cereal but why not the other thousands of foods. This study most likely came from the corporations that saw the need to sell these products. Believe it or not but in my living around the world people actually eat other things and are perfectly fine.
"Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable." - Mark Twain --------- I eat breakfast. It's delicious.

The Volkswagen bumper has maybe recently been a life-saving device to the millions of car owners its designed for. It's one of the most basic, common accessories of your car, strategically positioned in front and rear area of the chassis. Your bumpers are supposed to take on damage; thus, they're put on areas of your car that are likely to get hit directly. In cases where you do suffer a collision to the front or back, your Volkswagen is going to be protected from major damage if it's installed with a durable, dependable bumper.
Auto developers have even created Volkswagen bumpers that are supposed to get squashed upon impact, saving your car and also your passengers from life-threatening damage. A bumper sacrifices itself for your security, letting itself to get destroyed, so that you don't have to. For security on the highway, you should make certain that the Volkswagen bumper you obtain complements your vehicle; the better the fit, the safer you are. The bumper makes certain that you're getting your money's worth in safety and security whenever you're taking your ride out for a spin.
These days, satisfaction can be purchased in the form of a superior Volkswagen bumper which you may purchase from us at Parts Train; with the smallest prices you'll see on the Web from reputable names such as Rugged Ridge, Mile Marker, and Ranch Hand Truck, how can you possibly go wrong?

I don't want to go through adding an additional feature to my project. I would like to get hold of the current navigation and re-order about 6 items. There are some items on the very bottom and they need to go to "Project" header section of the quick launch navigation (which already exists with other items in it). How to re-order some of the links thats on the bottom of the quick lunch to be in the "Project" header section? I added some publishing pages and those pages are on the bottom of the quick lunch. Now they need to be in the "Project" Node (alphabetically).

I am a Los Angeles native, having grown up here before leaving for college on the East Coast in Annapolis, Maryland. After graduating from college (the U.S. Naval Academy), I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. I then went through the six month program known as The Basic School (TBS) in Quantico, Virginia, which all new second lieutenants must complete. After graduation from TBS, it was off to flight school in Pensacola, Florida for about two years. After earning my wings, I spent about a year in Whidbey Island, Washington, learning to fly the EA-6B Prowler and learning about electronic warfare. Upon finishing the training in Washington, I went straight to the Gulf for Operation Desert Shield and then, Operation Desert Storm. After this deployment and combat, I spent another six years in the Marine Corps, deploying to Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba and various places across the U.S. While in the Marines, I earned an MBA from Boston University.
Once I left the Marine Corps, as a Captain, I entered law school at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. Three years later, I graduated and took the Bar Exam, passing it on my first try despite having mono while I took the test and nearly falling asleep during the three day test.
Since passing the Bar in 1998, I have taken many cases to jury trial and bench trial, although most of my cases have resolved short of trial. I have been lucky enough to learn from some great lawyers and thereby develop my skills.
I learn something new every single day in practicing law. Often it is just a better way to argue a point. Other times, it is a case that says exactly what I need for a client with a similar problem. I thoroughly enjoy helping people resolve problems, whether it be a civil or criminal matter.
Outside of my practice, I have three very active kids and a family to support. I am also active as a Blue and Gold Officer for the Naval Academy, giving interviews for high school kids applying to the Academy and then submitting my evaluation to the admissions board. I am also active in my son's Boy Scout troop and my daughters' club soccer games.

Medical, veterinary and environmental liaison activities in Scotland. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 6926847 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The past decade has seen many changes in the relationships between the medical, veterinary and environmental health professions in Britain. Doctors and veterinarians had traditionally tended to remain in isolation to each other despite mutual interests, while working relationships between public health doctors and environmental health officers were disrupted following re-organization of the NHS in 1974 and of local government in 1975. The situation was, however, generally less acute in Scotland where active encouragement had been given since the early 1970s towards the creation of local liaison groups in different areas of the country, the first of which was formally established in Aberdeen in 1969. The subsequent development of other liaison groups and the role of the Communicable Diseases (Scotland) Unit in coordinating inter- and intra-professional liaison and communications throughout Scotland is described, along with examples of combined activities in surveillance, investigation and control measures. |

LA Dodgers Payroll In 2013: And Contracts Going Forward
Like us on Facebook here
Thursday Mar.28/2013
Chuck Booth (Lead Baseball Analyst And Website Owner): Follow @chuckbooth3024
I must say I am completely shocked at the Dodgers spending as much money as they are since the ownership change. I listened to Magic say how he 'was not going to do anything stupid', I will give him this much. However, the amount of payroll the team has taken on is enormous. The Dodgers are going to be over 200 Million Dollars in Payroll for years to come.
After I put their top ten salaries on the board, I will break down the rest of the roster to analyze some more projections for salary. The Dodgers have about 218 Million Dollars in signed contracts.
If you can believe this next part, they even are paying Manny Ramirez 8.33 Million Dollars still in 2013, Andruw Jones 3.375 Million and Huroki Kuroda 2.0 Million. That is roughly 13 Million Dollars on guys that are no longer in your organization.
Back to the trades that have brought in several players. I do agree for the mentality of it. The Dodgers fans were given a raw deal by the past management and the new guys are showing the rest of the MLB that they intend to be the big dog.
With Cole Hamels re-signing with the Phillies, their coveted starter was no longer available in Free Agency. Gonzalez was there to be had if they would take on the Carl Crawford/Josh Beckett contracts.
The team went out and signed Zack Greinke (15 – 5 with a 3.48 ERA split between the Brewers and Angels) instead.
Here is a nice highlight clip of Carl Crawford below. As a side note: The only inside the park Home Run I have ever witnessed at a game live was hit by Carl Crawford at Us Cellular Field in 2008. He was one of the best lead-off hitters back then.

Luhnow Spins His Trade Magic Again For The Astros In: Get Carter

Follow @mlbreportsWednesday Feb.6, 2013
By Richard Perez (Astros Correspondent): Follow @yokorick
As I'm sure you've heard by now, the Astros have traded Shortstop Jed Lowrie and Pitcher Fernando Rodriguez to the Oakland A's for Chris Carter, Brad Peacock, and Minor leaguer Max Stassi. Astros mastermind General Manager Jeff Luhnow worked out another amazing trade, getting anybody to agree to take Fernando Rodriguez all on its own is a miracle, but getting more than what he's worth is astounding.
He's worked nothing but pure trade magic during his first full calendar year with the club, dumping off Dan Carpenter, Brandon Lyon, AND Carlos Lee over the course of last season. Not to mention plenty other players he traded as well, yielding a number a top prospects, making the Astros' farm system go from worst to first.

The Most Underrated Statistic: Extra Base Hits (XBH)

I have nothing against sabermetrics in baseball. Yes I know they are not going away and I will probably learn them one day as someone who can comprehend Math pretty good. However, I understand the frustration of the casual fan who will not set a foot near them – although they know what Home Runs and Runs Batted In are. I have thrown the topic out for discussion on Twitter – and am extremely curious to see what percentage of fans actually follow the new numbers formats. This site totally allows our writers to convey any form of statistical analysis they want. The only thing that I request, is that if they use sabermetrics, to also add some regular stats with them.
One of the stats that can gauge any era since the beginning of baseball is Extra Base Hits. Before the fences were brought in (or even put up), Doubles and Triples could be hit at any time. Singles are great in the game too. There have been several great baseball players that are singles hitters, that also compiled a bunch of Doubles and Triples. That is why this statistic is fairest to all of the hitters in the history of the game and the most comparable. Like the old saying, (hit'em where they ain't), players that can hit the baseball into the open areas of the outfield are special. Babe Ruth re-coined the phrase later when he said "Well they ain't over the fence, so that's where I hit them!" The Bambino was right. In the course of this article, we will list the top active list for this category – and some underrated hitters that may stack up nicely against historical hitters.

Is A Return to the Astros in the Cards For Lance Berkman?
Sunday December 2nd, 2012
Jake Dal Porto (Baseball Writer):
With the move to the American League West, the Houston Astros are likely years away from contending in one of the toughest divisons in baseball. So basically, the Astros won't be in the market for immediate impact players because that type of approach likely won't get them anywhere in the standings. There's one exception, though—Lance Berkman.
Berkman played with the Astros for 12 years before being traded to the Yankees in the midst of the 2010 season, and eventually signing with the Cardinals where he has spent the last two years. Given his age (36) and his derailed body, Berkman might choose to end his career with the team that drafted and brought him up. It would be bittersweet for both sides involved, and something positive for a struggling Astros' organization.
The timing for the Astros and Berkman to reunite is seemingly perfect. See, if the Astros still played in the National League, it would be unlikely that Berkman could endure another year of wear and tear on his fragile frame. Well, he could, but the likelihood of him suffering an injury would balloon dramatically. Luckily, the Astros now have the benefit of the designated hitter. It's like adding another hitter. This is where Berkman comes into play. Read the rest of this entry
Houston…We Have a Problem: The Astros Are in for a Painful Rebuild
Thursday August 9th, 2012
John Burns: With a 36-76 record the Houston Astros have been the laughing-stock of baseball this season. Houston is going into a complete rebuilding phase after trading the very few veterans they had, such as: Carlos Lee to Miami, Wandy Rodriguez to Pittsburgh, Brett Myers to Chicago (White Sox), Chris Johnson to Arizona, and J.A. Happ to Toronto. It is safe to say that Houston was definitely a seller at the recent non-waiver trade deadline and they made the right decision. They had one of the best deadlines in my opinion because they got rid of players that they were not going to win with and got very talented prospects in return. With the load of prospects Houston received, they will most definitely need several of their new young players to pan out if Houston plans to contend in the A.L. West one day. Oh yeah… I forgot to mention the worst team in baseball is going to one of the best divisions in baseball in 2013. A difficult situation is about to get a whole lot tougher.

The Astros Move To The AL West
Sunday October 30, 2011
MLB reports – Sam Evans: As an amazing 2011 MLB postseason has come to a close, it's time to look ahead to next year. The Houston Astros have been," looking forward to the next year," since the last time they made the playoffs in 2006. It's time for a change in Houston and Bud Selig and Jim Crane are currently working on a plan to make a big-time change for baseball's future in Houston.
Times have been hard recently for Astros fans. Widely considered the worst team in baseball, the Astros home attendance has steadily decreased every year since 2006. They haven't had a winning season since 2008 and their minor league system shows only small glimmers of hope on the way.
In the middle of June, rumors began floating around that the Astros would move to the American League, as early as the 2013 season. This would provide each league with an even fifteen teams and six five team divisions. Also, you have to think that Major League Baseball wants to start a rivalry between the Astros and the Rangers. Well now in October, these rumors have become more serious and now it appears inevitable that the Astros will be realigned to the American League West.
Although we don't know when exactly this move will take place,we have figured out that it will happen. It will be interesting to see if the Astros shop for a DH this or next offseason because if they do move by 2013, having nine Major League quality hitters in their lineup would be a big asset. It would make sense for them to bring back Carlos Lee if they were indeed moving to the AL, because he would be a much more productive DH than an outfielder.
I actually think that this would be a good move both for MLB and for the Astros. For MLB, they finally fix the glaring trivia answer which is, why there is an uneven number of teams in each league. Balanced divisions, until increased to 32 Major League teams by way of expansion, will lead to an unbalanced schedule. 15 teams per league means that there will need to be an interleague game scheduled every week. Some love the concept of interleague play, while other detest it. But for whatever people think of it, interleague is here to stay in the world of Major League Baseball. Having weekly interleague match-ups will actually help solve the unbalanced interleague issue. In current play, some fans have complained that the same interleague match-ups are in place every year- with not all teams from each of the different leagues matching up. Having weekly interleague games means that all AL and NL teams will face-off during the season at some point. Greater exposure for each of the teams in each MLB city should lead to greater enthusiasm for the fans and a more balanced approach to scheduling interleague games. It is not a perfect system- far from it. But until Major League Baseball brings in 2 more teams and creates a 16/16 league split, having the 15/15 split will at least allow for balanced divisions and equal chances to make the playoffs.
For the Astros, I seriously believe they could start one of the best rivalries in baseball with the Rangers. This would be beneficial not only for the Astros as an organization, but their fans and attendance as well. Let's make one thing clear though in the interim: the current "rivalry" between the Astros and Rangers is a joke. The ony time they face off is in interleague games, and neither team has any more incentives in those games as compared to any other games. However, I think if they actually played each other as division rivals frequently, and the fans became passionate about those games, then they could actually start a strong rivalry for years to come.
Astros fans have been against this move for two main reasons. The first is that they would lose their history with the National League (and specifically, NL Central teams). The main reason however, is that they would play West Coast teams more, which would mean that games against Seattle, Oakland, and Anaheim would start at a later time. I can fully understand and appreciate the Astros fans feelings on the subject. The only counterexample I can offer is what Rangers fans already go through with this same dilemma and they same to have done just fine.
At the end of the day, I think the Astros should move to the American League West. It makes sense for the current MLB system. Furthermore, this franchise looks in need of a fresh start and maybe a new division could help provide that.

NHL Scraps Games Through Jan. 14 as Lockout Continues
TORONTO – Calling off the entire NHL season may not be far off.
The league Thursday moved to cancel slightly more than half of the 2012-13 regular-season schedule, as it axed all games through Jan. 14.
That represents 625 regular-season games, or 50.8 percent of the season scrapped, as the league and the NHL Players Association continue talks on a new labor deal without success.
ANALYSIS: How the NHL's Lockout Hurts NBC
Team owners and their locked-out players haven't negotiated on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement since last week, with no new dates planned ahead of Christmas.
Worse for North American broadcasters like NBC Sports and the CBC in Canada, the NHL may be one step away from canceling the entire season if it runs out of games after mid-January to fill arenas.
The NHL scrapped the entire season absent a new labor deal in 2004-05.

This is how I describe our dinner cruise adventure at the Manila Bay. On board Prestige Cruises, my friends and I (we were about 20) decided to celebrate the July, August and September birthdays with pizzazz.
Our party's theme was fascinators, and we were dressed in the 20's. The exciting vibe has caught on board as our fellow passengers enjoyed the spectacle our dresses offered. Many of them were couples wanting for a romantic dinner on a cruise ship.
We left the dock at about sun down and the view of Roxas Boulevard lit up with the changing hue of the sky as the backdrop. Neon lights filled the view and the striking SM Mall of Asia could be spotted from afar.
It would have all been fine except for the food, which I think the cruise' management could still improve on. Nevertheless, we ate in haste and proceeded to the end of the small ship for the fireworks display. Colors lit up the sky in different shapes — flowers, smileys, meteors.
The cruise last for more than an hour and the cruise ship sails every two hours. We took two trips so we could enjoy the night (not the food), with a live band filling the air with their music and constant birthday greetings.
On our second trip, we took the opportunity to release sky lanterns as a good measure of luck for the birthday celebrants. We excitedly waited for the lanterns to fly and after a few tries, some of them danced into mid-air until they disappeared in the darkness of the night.
Yet, the hour seemed to fly so quick. Before we knew it, the ship was sailing back to the dock. For P250, it was a great experience. Of course, we paid double so we could enjoy the entire night at the sea. And it gave us a good vantage point of seeing our city as if looking on a canvass. It's a different picture when viewed from Manila Bay.

January 1, 2013 Leading by Example Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
A commanding and courageous mood may prompt you to seek opportunities to be in charge of a project today. Or you may find yourself unexpectedly accepting a position of authority that has been offered to you in the past. Your initial approach to headship may be one of firm conviction and unyielding authoritativeness. Nonetheless, while those in your charge will likely follow your orders, you may discover that you do not command a great deal of respect. You can overcome this obstacle, and earn the admiration and esteem of those in support positions, by leading by example. If you are willing to do that which you ask of others today, they will see that your requests are sound and meaningful.

Tumblr user ellende-generes came out to her parents by leaving this cake and a letter.
For those who can't read the letter, it says:
Good morning parents,
I'm gay. I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I thought doing it this way would be a piece of cake. I hope you still love me. I mean, it's hard not to love someone who baked you a cake.
All of my friends know and still love me. Your acceptance would be the icing on the cake.
I hope you, much like this cake, are not in tiers.
I hope we can look back on this and say "boy, this one really takes the cake."
It gets batter.
And here's what happened:
My mom saw it and cried of happiness. We hugged and cried together. Then, we all ate the cake and talked. I am very luck to have such supporting parents and to have so much support from you guys. Thanks everyone! Have a gay day!

Results tagged ' World Series '
10/12/10 – Invitation
The day after the Phillies found out they would be opposing the San Francisco Giants in the National League Championship Series, an envelope from Phillies Phantasy Camp arrived in my mailbox. It was my official invitation to Phantasy Camp Orientation in mid-November at Citizens Bank Park. According to the invitation, in addition to receiving all the camp-related materials and paperwork, I will also be fitted for my authentic Phillies uniform, have my picture taken for the media guide, meeting the "Commissioner", and receive "a few surprises" along the way. When I was told about this orientation in March, I thought November sounded like an eternity, especially since the baseball regular season hadn't even started at that point. Now it's only a month away. The Phillies have gotten one step closer to another World Series appearance. The camp is just over three months away. Time flies when you are having fun.
9/11/10 – Nine Years
Since it's inception, the MLB Network airs "Nine Innings From Ground Zero" every year at this time. Apart from my memories of that specific day, I feel so grateful that I got to experience the emotions surrounding the return of baseball in New York City and the end to a very memorable season that was featured in the documentary. Watching Mike Piazza of the Mets blast that 8th inning home run in their first game back to New York was storybook perfection. I was able to drop my team-specific allegiance, and just root for the game of baseball. Later, I was lucky enough to attend Game 5 of the World Series at Yankees Stadium. It's no secret that I am not a fan of either of the local New York nines, but you could have not asked for a better experience at a baseball game… the overwhelming national pride, Ronan Tynan's 7th inning rendition of "God Bless America", the incredible Fall weather, and an amazing end to spectacular World Series game, no matter who won. Today, my wife and I took the 7 train out to Queens to see the Phillies take on the Mets at Citifield. As it was nine years ago, the weather was stunningly perfect. A late afternoon baseball game made it even better. In addition to all the wonderful and emotional tributes given by the Mets organization before and during the game, the one that gave me the biggest of chills was the replay of Piazza's home run, complete with Gary Cohen's beautiful call of that shot. I was immediately transported back to that time and, once again, realized why I love this city and why I love baseball. The Phillies unfortunately lost the game and are now tied with the Atlanta Braves for the NL East Division lead. I was with the love of my life, experiencing a simple joy together. Nine years later, that's all that matters.

§ MR. LAYARDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it is his intention to propose, during the present Session of Parliament, any measure for the better administration of the British Museum and other Institutions in the United Kingdom connected with Science and Art?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, he had no intention of bringing forward a measure of that kind; but he should be happy indeed to see the measure of the hon. Gentleman, for he was sure 167 there was no one who could offer suggestions more valuable on any question of science and art. He was occupied at present upon a measure of a more limited kind, which would effect some separation of the collections in the British Museum, having promised last Session to give the subject his attention.

A lynching every week for 73 years
New Report Compiles A Devastating Count of Nearly 4,000 Lynchings of Black People in the US, Showing This Form of White Terrorism Had Profound Impact on American History
There were 3,959 Black people lynched in the United States between 1877 and 1950—a number that is 700 more than previously known—and Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana had more lynchings than any other state in the country. These revelations are contained in an astounding new report by the Alabama-based Equal Justice Initiative that attempts to place this horrid form of American racial terrorism in its proper historical context as a tool of white supremacy that had a profound impact on the nation.
The report, called "Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror," ties lynching to a broader picture of white social control, showing how lynchings affected African-American migration patterns, effectively turning many Southern communities from predominantly Black to overwhelmingly white virtually overnight and sending millions of Black people to the cities of the North to escape this terrorism. It is a significantly more nuanced view of how whites used lynching to serve particular purposes—and how lynchings were a seldom-discussed driver of the Great Migration of Black people to the North.A summary of the report can be found here (pdf).
So, after investigating lynchings, the report found that there had been 3,959 lynchings over 73 years. That is an average of more than 54 lynchings per year, or put differently, it means that there was, on average, one lynching per week for 73 years!
This is an horrifying thought.
After having posted about this on facebook, one of my facebook friends wrote:
When you hear about lynching now, it's cast as some sort of anomaly, somehow separate from the main stream of US experience. But Kristjan's average really puts it in perspective: anything that happens once a week for 70+ years is Normal with a capital N; it WAS the US experience. It barely rated news coverage, just as these days black deaths in the inner cities barely rate a mention on any but the local news.That is a great way of putting it. When we are talking such numbers, we are not talking anomalies - we are talking routine. This was the daily life of people living back then.
Remember this, when people try to dismiss the concept of institutionalized racism or downplay how bad racism was in the past.

The Dictator
Sacha Baron Cohen returns to straightforward comedy with this spoof about an African dictator cast adrift in the canyons of New York. Reputedy filleting Saddam Hussein's novel Zabibah and the King for inspiration, we follow the tastelessly oblivious, nuclear weapon-obsessed General Aladeen as his crackpot concepts of what is right come into conflict - and sometimes not - with the American ideals of loyalty, justice and decency. Some of the gags may make you want to gag but fans of the risque British comedian will find much to enjoy.

Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted

Portrait of Johannes Brønsted
Born | Varde, Denmark |
February 22, 1879
Died | December 17, 1947 Copenhagen, Denmark |
(aged 68)
Residence | Copenhagen, Denmark |
Nationality | Danish |
Fields | Physical chemistry |

Alma mater | University of Copenhagen |
Known for | Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory Brønsted catalysis equation |
Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted (Danish pronunciation: [joˈhanˀəs ˈneɡ̊olɑʊ̯ˀs ˈb̥ʁɶnsd̥ɛð] February 22, 1879 – December 17, 1947) born in Varde, was a Danish physical chemist.[1][2][3] He earned a degree in chemical engineering in 1899 and his Ph.D. in 1908 from the University of Copenhagen and was immediately thereafter appointed professor of inorganic and physical chemistry at the same university.[4]
In 1906 he published the first of his many papers on electron affinity,[4] and, simultaneously with the English chemist Thomas Martin Lowry, he introduced the protonic theory of acid-base reactions in 1923. That same year, Gilbert N. Lewis proposed an electronic theory of acid-base reactions, but both theories remain commonly used.[4]
He became known as an authority on catalysis by acids and bases and was the namesake of the Brønsted catalysis equation. Working with Lowry, he also developed the often-used theory of proton donation, theorizing that a hydrogen atom (which is always found in an acid) ionizes into hydronium upon dissolving in water, thereby losing its electron and becoming a proton donor, and that hydroxide (a water molecule stripped of one of its two hydrogen atoms) is a proton receiver. Mixing the two causes a neutralization reaction wherein hydronium and hydroxide combine, creating hydrogen hydroxide, a compound otherwise known as water. The pH scale may be interpreted as "power of hydrogen", and the definition is based on the work of Brønsted and Lowry.[4]
In World War II, Brønsted's opposition to the Nazis led to his election to the Danish parliament in 1947, but he was too ill to take his seat and died shortly after the election.[4]

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for February delivery was down 16 cents to $88.50 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.47 Friday to finish at $88.66 per barrel in New York, the contract's lowest point in three weeks. It dropped to $87.96 per barrel at one point Friday.
"With politicians out on recess, sovereign credit markets closed and a general lack of vigor in seasonal markets, there's not much to chew on today with crude oil prices edging lower in decidedly thin volume," said a report from Sucden Financial Research in London.
When trading resumes after the Christmas break, the focus across all financial markets will likely remain on the budget discussions between the White House and Congress. If they don't reach a deal by Jan. 1, steep tax increases and government spending cuts will automatically take effect _ the so-called "fiscal cliff" _ that will jar the U.S. economy and potentially throw it into recession. Oil prices tend to drop when concerns over the state of one of the world's major economies arise as it could reduce demand for energy.
A weaker dollar helped keep oil prices from a sharper fall by making crude cheaper _ and a more attractive investment _ for traders using other currencies. The euro was up to $1.3231 on Monday from $1.3184 on Friday.
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, was down 70 cents to $108.27 per barrel in London.
In other energy futures trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
_ Natural gas retreated 9.2 cents to $3.359 per 1,000 cubic feet.
_ Heating oil lost 1.14 cents to $2.9988 a gallon.
_ Wholesale gasoline fell 1.18 cents to $2.704 a gallon.

The collection of five works in 'The reflecting pool - collected work' 1977-80, describe the stages of a personal journey using images of transition...from day to night, motion to stillness, time to timelessness. In the title work, 'The reflecting pool' 1977-79, all movement and change in an otherwise still scene is confined to the reflections on the surface of a pool. A man is suspended in time, hovering above the pool in the midst of a leap. Viola describes it as concerning the emergence of the individual into the natural world in a kind of baptism. He describes 'Moonblood' 1977-79 as an expression of the feminine principle, a work in three parts relating to a personal concept of woman and mother, with day and night converging on the silhouette of a woman by a window. "A rushing waterfall in winter and the serene interplay of changing dawn light unfolds within a glass of water in the desert." 1
Other works in this collection include 'Silent life' 1979, recording the first hours of a human life and the vulnerability of pre-lingual gestures and expressions; 'Ancient of days' 1979-81 is a remarkable series of 'canons and fugues for video' that comprises Viola's most sophisticated structural and metaphorical explorations of time unfolding with symbolic transformations of natural and urban landscapes. The final work, 'Vegetable memory' 1978-80 derived from the writings of 13th century Persian poet, Jalaludin Rumi evolves in a 'temporal magnifying glass'. The loop of images recorded at the Tsukji fish market in Tokyo explores the perceptual phenomenon of repetitive, cyclic viewing.

List of telescope types
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013) |
The following are lists of devices categorized as types of telescopes or devices associated with telescopes. They are broken into major classifications with many variations due to professional, amateur, and commercial sub-types. Telescopes can be classified by optical design or mechanical design/construction. Telescopes can also be classified by where they are placed, such as space telescopes. One major determining factor is type of light, or particle being observed including devices referred to as "telescopes" that do not form an image or use optics. Some telescopes are classified by the task they perform; for example Solar telescopes are all designs that look at the Sun, Dobsonian telescopes are designed to be low cost and portable, Aerial telescopes overcame the optical shortcomings of 17th century objective lenses, etc.
List of optical telescope types[edit]
Optical telescopes can be classified by three primary optical designs (refractor, reflector, or catadioptric), by sub-designs of these types, by how they are constructed, or by the task they perform. They all have their different advantages and disadvantages and they are used in different areas of professional and amateur astronomy.
Refracting telescopes (Dioptrics) | Reflecting telescopes (Catoptrics) | Catadioptric telescopes (Catadioptrics) | Telescopes classified by the task performed |
List of telescope types working outside the optical spectrum[edit]
- Atmospheric Cherenkov telescope used to detect gamma rays
- Infrared telescope
- Radio telescope
- Submillimeter Telescope (see also Submillimeter astronomy)
- Ultraviolet telescope (see also Ultraviolet astronomy)
- X-ray telescope (see also X-ray astronomy)
List of broad spectrum telescopes[edit]
List of telescope mounts types[edit]
Optical and other types of telescopes are mounted on different types of mounts.

Dubbed "Puzzle Portrait" and painted by legendary pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, a very curious panting featured in London's Masterpiece Art Fair. Just one of an assortment of oddities and cultural artifacts, the painting dates back to 1978 and will be a hotly contested item when it hits auction.
A painting by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, which has not been seen in public for more than 30 years, and a massive pearl once owned by Mary Tudor have been unveiled as the highlights of London's Masterpiece art fair.
The artwork, "Puzzle Portrait," was created by Lichtenstein (1923-1997) in 1978, before being sold directly to its current owner, who kept it out of the public eye for decades.
The super-sized pearl, which weighs 64.5 carats (258.12 grains), once belonged to England's Mary I (1516-1558). The monarch was painted wearing it in several portraits, now in the Prado in Madrid and the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Dynamic Tracking Error with Shortfall Control Using Stochastic ProgrammingDiana BarroCa Foscari University of Venice - Department of Economics; SSAV Elio CanestrelliCa Foscari University of Venice - Department of Economics 2012 University Ca' Foscari of Venice, Dept. of Economics Research Paper Series No. 18/WP/2012 Abstract: In this contribution we propose a dynamic tracking error problem and we consider the problem of monitoring at discrete point the shortfall of the portfolio below a set of given reference levels of wealth. We formulate and solve the resulting dynamic optimization problem using stochastic programming. The resulting problem allows for a great flexibility in the combination of a tracking goal and a downside risk protection through a discrete monitoring of the shortfalls. We provide the results of a out-of-sample simulation experiments, on real data, for different portfolio configurations and different market conditions.

Investment in training: a matter for rational decision making?

Vocational training has attracted increasing attention over the past two decades both in theoretical and policy terms. This study set out to raise questions about the management of such training. Evidence from previous work suggests that policy makers responsible for training are faced with exogenous forces that make decision making prone to irrational choices.
This study attempts to fill the gap in research on post entry screening by examining a series of longitudinal data. The approach has been through the use of interviews with trainees from selected industries (British Gas, the football industry and the provision of a public library service). Between them, these industries represent a large cross section of the British economy. British Gas is an example of a former nationalised industry that has been subsequently privatised. By contrast, the football industry is(and always has been) in private "hands". Finally, this study examined the provision of ICT training given to public library service personnel in both the UK and Finland.
The aim, in all cases, was to assess whether resources devoted to training were used efficiently. A second aim was to locate the findings in the context of a debate between the neoclassical school of economic analysis and its institutional rival, especially Internal Labour Market theory.
The evidence suggests that institutional theory explains post entry progression better
than its neoclassical rival. Furthermore, the research also concludes that managers charged with the task of implementing training schemes frequently do not evaluate
them and as a consequence, the stated aims of organisations' training strategies are not realised. This situation is likely to continue unless more thought is given to the issue of monitoring training carefully both at a micro and macro level. Ultimately, this research demonstrates that industry-wide (or macroeconomic) policies designed to increase employees' skills do not necessarily result in the desired gains at a local
(or microeconomic) level.
