Hi guys,
Just finished Reaper Man and it has been a great first taste of the Disc-world series. I have just ordered The Colour of Magic and cant wait to begin it.
But i was just wondering, what did you think of Reaper Man? I personally thought it was a great, invigorating and some parts, sad book .
Hope to hear from you soon,

What is the most important thing you've learned on your own?
In three sentences, explain something that you've learned without being told by another person -- something you've figured out all by yourself. Here's an example:
"I learned how to paint with water colors by reading a book and searching for YouTube videos. It took me a while, but I figured out some techniques that really work for me. I'm not an expert yet, but I have discovered a real joy in painting."
It can be anything -- a practical skill (like painting) or a knowledge set (like how to use mathematics).

Mar 18 2013: I have learned that letting go is one of the toughest thing you can ever do because you literally are making yourself vulnerable. It takes a lot of courage, strength and faith to believe in yourself, trusting your judgement.

I have learned that a healthy state of mind not only affects your physical well being but also your relationship with others.
I have learned that one needs to cherish and treasure what one has, because sometimes life don't give you a second chance.
Don Anderson
Mar 1 2013: Do to my poor memory and &%#*% public education I had to learn almost everything on my own, on the positive side it made me a great problem solver and it is easy to think outside the box when you don't recall its edges.

With so many I have to say it depends on the subject:
For health:
*The best diet is one you create for yourself, for we all have unique health needs and taste.
Do an web search for "health-issue diet" with each health-issue, and combine the results and adjust to taste.
*Trust that you know your body/health better than any doctor.
For home projects:
*always consider the maintenance that will be required after it's built.
*Table saws will cut fingers; I learned that the hard way, luckily only to the bone and not through it.
For work:
*read two articles on your profession every week, and you will become tops in your field.
*never trust HR.
For stress management:
*Take a deep breath, and consider if you will even remember the stressful event in a few months.
*Semi-denial is a powerful tool for the short term. AI: with a major health issue still take your meds, and put it out of your thoughts until your next med time.
In the grand scheme of things:
*Live by the Nine Noble Virtues.
*Death from old age is beautiful, and only looks ugly from our view point.
Try seeing it from their view point and you will realize that they are letting go of all earthly desires and on path to enlightenment.

Mar 2 2013: I guess one of the most important things I've learned on my own is to be careful about letting other people decide who I am for me. Way too often people will try to tell me I'm this kind of person or that kind of person. Who I am should not be affected by how other people choose to see me.Feb 25 2013: I am what I want to be and not what other people think of me. When i was 3 years old, my mother and I were in a car accident; I survived, she didn't. I am now 18 years old.
- +5
As devastating as it was, I'm thankful (in a weird, hindsight-led way) that my mom died when I was young. After she died, there was an outpouring of love that came onto out household. It seemed like everyone my mom and dad had ever known was calling us, the phone was constantly off the hook, and they were offering love. In a way, my mother's passing led to me being raised by the community we lived in.
Now, here I stand 15 years later and I'm very active in activist circles campaigning for social justice, I slam poetry, and all the local business owners know me on a first name basis.
The most important thing I've learned on my own is that from every loss, every devastating blow, there is good. Although it may not be obvious, or it may not reveal itself until decades later, it is there. I am a child of the streets, even though I have a loving father, and I consider everyone in my community a member of my extended family.

Mar 11 2013: How to no longer fear the uncomfortable. It's always a work in progress, but I've learned how to muster courage where I wouldn't have before.Mar 4 2013: I've learned that you will not be happy if you live your life trying to satisfy "the crowd". It is when you find that special thing you want to do, and do it regardless of what anyone says, that you can truly be happy. And I se it every day, people taking major choices about their future, based not on their will or interrest, but on what "the crowd" (friends, parents, the norm) does.
- +4
I've also learned that insight is the most powerfull tool that one can posess.Mar 3 2013: I've learned to appreciate my struggles in life because I believe there's something beautiful in struggle. If I didn't have challenges in life I might never have learned to appreciate the small things in life that I think most Americans take for granted such as being able to shower regularly, having a home to come back to and not having to worry about where you're going to sleep at night, or knowing that you have a healthy body complete with two arms and legs to get you to places you need to be.There's beauty in struggle because at that point where we feel weak and helpless some inner part of us that we never knew we had emerges from the depths of our soul and pushes us to grow.Feb 27 2013: I have learned that the most difficult moments in life--the experiences that cause you to hit rock bottom and lose faith in the world and yourself-- are the opportunities that build appreciation for tenacious character and strength. We learn early in life that the world isn't fair but when you learn to accept that shit happens and sometimes justice cannot be guaranteed, you lose the need to worry or get anxious. This is when you start to re-focus your energy on how to better prepare yourself for the next hurdle.
There are a lot of self-motivation books, websites and blogs, but until you experience the need to talk yourself through life's simple tasks like getting out of bed, eating a meal or attempting to make appointments for things you used to enjoy, those words just go in one ear and out the other. Don't wait to build yourself mentally or physically because one day you'll appreciate the strength you've built over time.
Feb 27 2013: Wise words April....don't wait until we hit rock bottom to start building our emotional and physical strength. I am grateful for the fact that I started building, way before hitting rock bottom, so I had some resources to draw from.
Marian Fagan
Feb 27 2013: I have learned that I am who I am, and that no one else, no matter how well intentioned can know what I must do to be true to myself. It is easy to say, but not so easy to live. Being true to yourself is not necessarily being selfish either, it is doing things that I know to be most important for personal growth and integrity. It is often not easy, and may seem contrary to others.Feb 24 2013: As a teacher, the most amazing thing that I have learned, and continue to learn every year, is that the mind of a child is more amazing than the entire night sky full of stars. On the heels of that, I also have learned/will keep learning that I wouldn't trade the teacher's life for all the money on Wall Street.Feb 24 2013: The most important thing I learned on my own was that I can learn on my own.

Today, more than every we need to be resigned to being "life long learners."
This does not mean that we can be content to merely learn through imitating others. We need to commit to knowing what we are passionate about and pursuing at with vigor, and also remaining open to other interesting and engaging ideas. We can learn on our own and must continue to do so. Saying "I can't" or "I don't know how" is a "learned disability" we need to overcome.Feb 24 2013: I've learned that quitting something can be just as satisfying as accomplishing something.Feb 24 2013: I learn to calm down myself peacefully in meditation.I have done it everyday for three years .I learn to love people around me with my heart.I learn to think quietely.I learn to see things in facts.I learn to reflect myself everyday.

Mar 19 2013: Good question.....

1. Most of the things we do, say, or believe are culturally programmed into us....they are not original thoughts
2. The Ego settles too quickly & easily for simplistic explanations.
3. If we understand a problem, we do not need the solution, the answer will come out of it, for they are not separate.
-Learn from that which has no thing to gain...........nature is a good start
Mary Kolk
Mar 17 2013: I learned how to cure my husband of the horrible effects of type 2 diabetes by reading books, watching you tube. After 20 years of suffering with the complications of diabetes, In 2003, on my program he came off of 43 units of insulin a day, eliminated severe, debilitating neuropathy in both his feet that limited his walking to 75 feet, eliminated diuretics, eliminated statin drugs, eliminated Naproxen and Nuerontin for pain and lost 100 pounds - 80 in the first 9 months of the program and 20 more a few years ago. We were at Disney World last May and he walked from 8:30 a.m. until 11:45 p.m. with only a short break in the afternoon which we all needed - best part of that trip was seeing the smile on his face at 11:45 p.m. as he came off the monorail at Disney.

A Cleveland Clinic doctor who saw us recently looked at my husband and said, "do you know you would be dead by now if it wasn't for Mary's program?" He was so impressed, he made arrangements for us to tell our story to the local NBC channel.
Dr. Marsh of The Ohio State School of Medicine heard our story and asked us to give the opening remarks to a lecture by Gary Taubes (one of my heroes) author of Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat. Mr. Taubes was at The Ohio State University at the request of Dr. Marsh.
I have created a Keynote (Apple for Powerpoint) presentation and go everywhere delivering hope and help to other diabetics. They need to know that through the right knowledge, they can become an empowered patient and a proactive partner with their doctor in their own healthcare.
Mar 19 2013: Mary, this is an awesome share. Well done..........It goes to show us it's often not WHAT we know, but WHO we know. Your husband is fortunate to know you. :-)
Mary Kolk
Mar 20 2013: Thanks so much, Scott! I appreciate your kind words. I am blessed to have such a wonderful husband for the past 52 years and I look forward to the next 25 or so together.

The 20 years when my husband was so very ill from diabetes were not so much fun for either of us but he has been back being himself for the past ten years. We're grateful for all we've been given especially in terms of his good health.
MaryMar 17 2013: I learned the Theories and Principals of the Philosophy of Philosophy (PHoPH). It required me to erase all previous education (except math) and acquire 100% thought control. Knowledge is NOT Power, the PHoPH is.
Mar 19 2013: If you can share a primary source for PHoPH, I'd mucho appreciate it.....I'm interested
Mar 20 2013: The "primary source" is an unfinished book I'm writing. Half history of Men of Letters/Half PHoPH. It all started with "Knowledge, itself, is Power" (which Bacon never said) and has expanded way past knowledge and progressing towards Wisdom and even now Abstract (or Theory). Not new, possibly the first was Leucippus, mostly through Democritus and every prolific Philosopher/Physicist/Inventor that followed. Other definitions exist for the Philosophy of Philosophy (i.e. Meta Philosophy) but I believe mine is quite simplistic. Unfortunately, Philosophy today is franchised to the elite, has missed its only goal, and I have trouble understanding when I have to research EVERY sentence of the "academic" Philosophy of today. I will tell you the 3 Principles I have narrowed down are: Conscious Conscience, Common Unity, and the Wisdom of Wisdom (or Theory of Theories). Knowledge, itself, is Empowering. Wisdom itself is Powerful. Wisdom, within itself, is Power. Philosophy has 3 goals:Peace and I forget the other two.
It is not complicated, the ancients were pretty close, we have only complicated or misunderstood the gifts. I take a wide, but not deep, swath looking for what is profound whether it is Epicurus, Jesus (of Philosophy), Lord Kames, Dr. Franklin, Samuel Clemens, (non Physics) Albert Einstein, or Dr. King. Newer discoveries like Dalai Lama and Paulo Coelho or "obscure" ones like John Lennon or Al McGwire.
This book, 'Theorum Philosophiae Principia Philosophia: Conscia Consciencia Commenum Unitatem' is not likely a "TED book", but I have others that may fit like 'Analogica Transferum', 'Paradoxes and Pandoras Boxes' and "Chain of Conscious Series": Reason beyond Perception, Logic beyond Reason, Wisdom beyond Logic, Theory beyond Wisdom, and Faith beyond Wisdom. Any guidance for newer member of TED would be appreciated. I will be fighting an uphill battle due to my lack of high school diploma, but the future is how you see it. I see a challenge.Mar 13 2013: The most important thing I've learned on my own is that the most effective teaching is self-teaching.Mar 8 2013: The most important thing I've learned on my own and that I think everyone needs to learn on their own is how to learn. Learning how to learn, allows you to remain flexible. Problem-solving, and learning are the most important things in life.
Mar 20 2013: Read to Read, Read to Live, Read to Learn, Live to Read, Live to Live, Live to Learn, Learn to Read, Learn to Live, Learn (how) to Learn. This is how I originally summarized the Philosophy of Philosophy. To learn is to know and knowledge is power, was the thought process. Knowledge of Knowledge, or Knowledge, within itself, is Power. But beyond Knowledge/Logic is Wisdom. Philosophy defined is "love of wisdom" and therefor the Wisdom of Wisdom is more pure. Beyond Wisdom is Abstract and Faith. Abstract (or Theory) is imagining things that are not known to us and can be verified in truth or falsified, anything else is Faith. The true power is in the Theory of Theory, but this is not possible if you do not first Learn how to Learn.

Mar 8 2013: The important thing I learned on my own was that I could make things happen for myself and that I could trust in my decision making process.Mar 6 2013: I learned Spanish online. I searched the youtube videos and some other web sites to learn. Also some friends helped me. i'm not very good yet, but i'm doing my best.

Mar 7 2013: awesome ! i wanna learn Spanish too but i don't know how to start !
Mar 7 2013: if you want to start you can try this app
it's very interesting and helped me a lot then you can listen to spanish songs with lyrics
best wishes for you
Mar 8 2013: thanks :)
about the songs , any recommendations ?!Mar 5 2013: "Learning by my own" is the most important thing I've learn by my own. When you learn that, you can learn anything else.Feb 26 2013: When I was young my mother wanted a small landing and set of stairs built from the back of the house. Growing up without a father sometimes can prove to be cruel. Of course I didn't have a clue as to how to begin. I was ridiculed very harshly. Much later in life I built a large deck by myself complete with two sets of stairs onto the back of my home after reading a book from the library. Stairs are fairly complicated if you are to create the most comfortable (safe) ratio of rise and run while making them level too. I'd like to hug the man that wrote that book. God bless him.

Feb 25 2013: I taught myself about the basic fundamentals of herbalism and integrative nutrition by reading online resources, talking with various practitioners, and experimenting with my own self-care treatments. It is crucial for me to be an active participant in my own health care. I feel empowered because I have knowledge and a lifestyle that enables me to feel better, manage stress, and heal without solely depending on doctors and medicines with side-effects and sometimes toxic ingredients.

Feb 25 2013: 1. After experiencing racism from people who did not know any better, I learnt to stop being racist and start treating people the way I wanted to be treated.

2. I've become more forgiving and learnt that not holding on to past feelings is the best way to heal ones self. Everyone's bound to their own circumstances, those that act 'wrongly' do so cause they know no better (karma).
3. After experiencing healing through the angels, I have become a strong supporter of helping others heal too. We all do need external help as science is limited to the evolution of the human mind.

Feb 24 2013: I've learned to play the bass guitar with printouts from the internet and cd's. I have no formal education on the matter and have and am still grooming my own style.Feb 23 2013: I've learnt that intelligence is not determined by what you know, but how much you are willing to learn.Feb 23 2013: That people are remarkably similar the only real thing that 'seperates you from me' are your experiences in life.

This train of thought leads to many many other ideas.Mar 18 2013: 1) The value of a good coach to guide you 2) The value of being Nice to others - if you want the world to be nice to you 3) If you are to be a good at swimming, you have to get in the pool and swim (regularly and with focus)

Mar 17 2013: I learned I have always had the answers to every one of my life's greatest questions. I only needed to be still long enough to listen to myself. I shouldn't be afraid to hear my inner voice. Its the idle chatter which fills the void I must muddle through.

Talha Šeta
Mar 17 2013: Starting a life on my own at quite a young age made me go through experiences which were not always positive and easy to get through but I believe are very valuable lessons, because they somehow build up an 'immune system' against potential obstacles and events I might face with fear in future, or end up getting out of them hurt and demoralized. All these social, intellectual and spiritual experiences go in parallel with the increase in the number of responsibilities one person gains with a life on his/her own. So basically, the most important thing I have learnt is that although living on my own fills me with happiness, pride and the feeling of self-gratitude and self-sufficiency, it also keeps the parameters of responsibility of my actions very high, putting my moral values and future at stake - because only my actions determine the flow and shape of my life.Mar 13 2013: What is the most important thing you've learned on your own?
- +2
I have learned that...who I am..
Mar 21 2013: Know thyself and thyself knowsMar 11 2013: I learned the value of education by dropping out of college. After years of working I discovered how much I wanted to think and learn, how empty I felt without using my mind. I decided to go back and study education. Had I not dropped out, I don't think I would have found what makes me happy.

Mar 10 2013: The value of self expression as a TED member has been an interesting learning experience. Posting on TED was not easy for me. I had to work at it because it required that I would say what I thought publicly at least to the TED community. It was a new challenge and required making observations about things, taking a position, or another focus on the importance of something, etc., but it soon it became unexpectedly rewarding via a credit, or interesting reply, thumbs up, etc.
- +2
Most of us do not push ourselves enough to learn and be all that we can be. TED tends to attract individuals who have studied specific fields of knowledge, and/or are engaged professionally. They provide TED TALKS as well as contribute to the reexamination and/or accounting for certain presumptions, claims, etc., which characterizes the posted comments and discussion in response to a given TALK. So these Talks and Responses have expanded my world by becoming more involved in what's going on all around me.
The value of expressing myself is not without a few scars, but these scars have been instructive for the most part motivating and challenging me to measure up.

Mar 10 2013: I learned Italian on my own, by watching (/listening to) Italian TV shows (or dubbed films) for a limited amount of time 5 days a week for a number of years (about 5). Gradually I started reading books and newspapers and eventually added Italian as one of the official languages I use as a conference interpreter (C language). Eventually, I also participated in the relevant language exam of the Greek Ministry of Education, which I passed (highest level available).Mar 10 2013: I have learned Adobe Illustrator by trying, failing and looking at tutorials. I am studying to become a copywriter and no one in my class got why I put so much time into learning it. But now I can present my work in the best possible way, and I'm getting better as I go.Mar 7 2013: I learned (from an Anthony Robbins self-help book, no less) to identify my core values and to hold myself to them. Guiding myself by those values made working through the most difficult problems so much easier - not necessarily easy, but easier. When I look back on my history of decision making, the only regrets I've had are when I didn't stick to those values.Mar 6 2013: After a childhood of knowing soup only came from cans, I learned how to cook on my own, from scratch, when I lived in Russia. There was minimal processed food, so if I wanted chicken soup, I need to buy a chicken, finish plucking it, and figure out how to make soup using only a pot and a heating element. From this experience, I gained a love of cooking, experimenting with cooking, and attempting to figure out how to make food "the hard way" (or the fun way!).

Mar 6 2013: i learned that everybody is bias on some level and the only way to have true empathy is to understand (at least somewhat) where these people are coming from and if more people had this idea the would would be a much kinder placeMar 5 2013: 1. I started an NGO by myself, and this was something that happened by just thinking about it.

2. I learnt that rather than talking about how others became successful, I should just do what I am capable of doing.
3. I learnt that most successful people are college dropouts. No point in studying books. I think one should study Life.
Mar 10 2013: "3. I learnt that most successful people are college dropouts. No point in studying books. I think one should study Life."
How are you defining "successful?" If it's monetarily, then I think your statistics are off. While there are certainly a notable few who have found monetary success without completing (or attending college), the lions share of successful people do in fact have college degrees.Mar 4 2013: I've developed an effective leadership style that centers on the value of intrinsic rewards by making all of the members of my work group and their contributions feel appreciated, which makes them want to do everything well.
No one teaches you how to deal with disappointment. ...Figured that one out all by myself.
I've learned to be my own harshest critic.Mar 3 2013: I learned to understand the rate at which I remember things. In school some things "come easy", and others do not. The things that "came easy' were formulas and things which I no longer study. When I raised my tolerance for learning, I became willing and patient to learn things I may not be 100% enthusiastic about, but say 80%, which is still just as great a reason to take the time to learn
Isolda R.G.
Mar 3 2013: Let's see... 'learning' is a big meaningful word for me since I'm a mother and a teacher . So far (because I never stop learning) I've learned that 'learning' something means getting entirely involved, it means doing it, it means getting into the roles of an investigator, an artist, a listener, a chef, a therapist.... into whatever role that may help you to explore all you need to know about something or someone. I've learned as much from children as from adults, age is not a condition, it's their different views of life that teach you different things, It can be bad experiences or good ones, but you always learn from both.Mar 3 2013: That most important things are learnt always on my own.

Tony Bones
Mar 2 2013: My education is mainly based on me locking myself in a room with the thing I want to learn for hours on end, day after day. Easily, the most important thing I taught myself was, and will always be, philosophy. Nearly everything in one's life boils down to philosophy. With a clear view and an understanding mind, one is able to make the best choices.Feb 27 2013: There are four primary guides in my life
- +2
1 Make family a priority
2 Identify your windows: These are things that as part of your life, put you "en-joy". E.g. windows are my windows, sailing is my window, hiking is a window, gardening is a window, engaging in meaningful dialogue is my Window (btw I Love TED these conversation speak for themselves, not sure why I waited so long to engage here) etc.
3 Commit to being happy: Identify 10 things that make you happy; promise yourself each day you will do at least one of them; you will spend the rest of your life being happy
4 my daily affirmation: Give me the Determination to Persevere and the Perseverance to Endure
So for me there is on "most important thing" We are too complex to assume (obviously I speak for myself) that only one thing deserves that designation as "the" most important. That would also preclude that in life as my journey continues, nothing else will be more important.Feb 27 2013: Following my intuition, I learnt to listen to my soul and that took me to learn more physical things, like taking photos!Feb 26 2013: well, when i think about learning something..there are many things that we learn in our life,... the most important thing i have learned on my own is how to live ! Life is so beautiful and it would be the way u want if you learn how to live!Feb 26 2013: I created an "impossible to be" image of the perfect moral self and I try to be like this person, which is how most religions appear to pitch their god(s), so, in essence, a God is in all of us and we are all Gods. Just my opinion, but I allow myself to be called wrong, which would be the human part of me, I think.Feb 25 2013: The most important thing that I have learned on my own is to 'do' rather than contemplate.
Set a goal..the smaller the better..And just from the moment I decide it,I should start thinking and working on it. It can be anything-making sure that the dress I have to wear for a party is ready on time,that I take prescribed medicines regularly,that the dance skit I am preparing should be done well,schedule and do my studies in an organised fashion..I must really highlight these things in my mind and say to myself-it is important I respect it and try to do it well.
The MOST important thing underlying all these different activities is the fact that all of them should be seen as a part of my 'Karma'-things that I am supposed to do. I shouldn't feel a huge sense of achievement after doing them. Doing the things I do properly should become a routine. Like I eat,I bathe daily,they should be taken as chores that are part of my daily life.
Also,I must clearly see the end goal and form a connection with it. For ex-while preparing the dance,I must really visualise the entire thing on stage and want from the deepest bottom for it to go well.

Feb 24 2013: I really appreciate your thought of 'learning things by your own''......3 things which I would like to share are :

* I learned to work hard towards society ......to get noticed by god......
* Face it.....don't fear it.........is a live example to explore urself
* Today is a gift.......that's y it is present....!!!!!.......believe in self and become creator....Feb 23 2013: I've learned that the inner self is far more important than the outer. The outer is just a protective shell which although sometimes necessary and case hardened, needs to be opened up occasionally to reveal genuine truths about me, about others and our correct place in the greater scheme of things.
Sherrlene Uy
Feb 23 2013: I've learned that life is a journey... it can never be copied or planned. It comes and shocks you to death; it may twist your arm til you scream but in the end, it's all up to you if you're going to sob and cry because of the pain or wipe the tears away and move on with your injured self :')

Ive learned that if i can imagine, assemble, devise it in my head, then its most likely possible to do if planned correctly.
I've learned that you only fail when you give up on tryingFeb 22 2013: Jordan,
One important thing I've learned on my own, and figured out all by myself, is how to live alone and be content:>)
I had never lived alone in my life.....going from home of origin, to cohabitating with room-mates...to marriage and children. When I divorced after 24 years of marriage, the kids were in college and not living at home, I was diagnosed with cancer, and a month later sustained a near fatal head injury.....my mother and father died within that time frame as well. I felt very alone, which did not feel comfortable at first, and I learned to like it a LOT!

Feb 23 2013: I admire you too TED Lover! What doesn't kill us makes us stronger? I've read LOTS of your comments, so I know that you have faced and continue to face challenges:>)Mar 8 2013: Hey Colleen.
As always ausum really really ausum.
Mar 8 2013: Hey Chetan...always nice to connect with you:>)
Life is life, and we can make it "ausum"......or not. I learned when I was young, to let go of frustration and discontent, and do my best to move through challenges. I may feel emotionally and/ or physically hurt, confused, frustrated, and have a "poor me" attitude for a minute, then I move on. Holding onto those feelings simply uses energy that I can use in a more productive way.....learning. It's good to experience all the feelings, determine what we CAN and CANNOT do about it, and move on....learning, growing and evolving with all of the life adventures:>)

Feb 22 2013: As an artist I've spent most my life in discovery and RnD. I didn't go to college, having a natural "talent", but did study on my own the techniques of other artists and spent hours, if not years, observing the world around me to figure out how things work and to emulate and apply aspects of what I observed to my work. I would often take on projects that required knowledge I didn't yet possess in order to learn more.
- +2
But the most important thing I learned on my own was to except nothing I was told on face value and to learn the truth of things myself. I have always questioned everything….well, ever since finding out the truth of Santa Claus...Mar 22 2013: And that the truth will not necessarily set you free. Sometimes it may put others in jail.

i learned this a long time ago but wasn't completely aware of it until recently. the best teachers never taught me anything (and especially never told me anything) but rather created situations and set tasks and restrictions where i could not but learn and increase my skills and potential in order to achieve them.

Levy-Pounds' goal in founding the CJP was to take a more holistic approach to addressing complex issues affecting the poor and working poor.
In addition to her work in the CJP, Levy-Pounds is an active contributor to the field of civil rights and criminal justice by serving as a consultant to local civil rights organizations and community groups, a commentator in local media, and a lecturer and speaker in national and international forums. Her scholarly interests include African Americans and the law, the impact of the war on drugs on African American children and families, the treatment of women in prisons, and intersecting issues of race, class, and the criminal justice system. Levy-Pounds also focuses on juvenile justice issues, police and community relations, and the school to prison pipeline facing children of color.

Social Justice
Civil Rights and Criminal Justice
My greatest emphasis in my scholarly writing has focused on intersecting issues such as race, poverty and the criminal justice system on African-American children and families. Alarmingly, there are more than 2.4 million, or 1 in 100, adults incarcerated in the United States. Sadly, poor
African-American men and women comprise a disproportionate number of this group, largely as a result of the war on drugs that began in the mid-1980s. When African-American men and
women are incarcerated, their children often suffer emotionally and psychologically, and are sent to live with other relatives or are placed in what are sometimes broken foster-care systems. I argue that in order to preserve poor African-American families, we must reexamine our drug war policies and work to mitigate the harms these laws and policies have caused to this segment of the population.
Upcoming: Focusing on the link between the language of the 13th Amendment and the current incarceration crisis in the United States.

How to stop bullying in the workplace
From the playground and schools to even the National Football League, bullying has been in the spotlight in several aspects of society. The workplace is no exception.
With a greater focus on preventing bullying and harassment, companies are attempting to take a proactive approach to preventing bullying among their employees.
Experts offer several tips for preventing workplace harassment, but they generally start with the same simple advice: show some respect.
Mike Guerchon, senior vice president of employee services at San Francisco-based Riverbed, said it boils down to setting the right tone from the start.
The first step to ensure employees are sensitive to the beliefs of such a diverse group is to set a good policy right from the get-go, he said.
"Make it part of your orientation," Guerchon said. "You have to provide the right training, tools and culture so your policy can really work."
Deb Keary, vice president of human resources for the Society for Human Resource Management, said offering written guidelines can help keep a company out of legal trouble.
"But a better reason to have these policies is that you want a civil, respectful workplace where people have a good time," Keary said. "If there's harassment in the workplace, the person who's the object is certainly not having a good time, nor are the people watching it happen."
Jenna Bedsole, an attorney at the Birmingham office of Baker Donelson, said it's imporant for companies to follow their harassment policies closely when incidents arise by investigating the complaint.
"Even though the conduct may not rise to the level of legal harassment, explain harassing behavior is not acceptable and if it continues, more severe disciplinary action may be taken," she said.

This may be a strange request but I want my PC to get really hot to spit out hot air....
Reason? At my job I currently have a spare PC which currently I don't use for anything and the guy in front of my workplace leaves a door open and FREEZING air comes in and my feet are frozen. I almost cant feel my feet....Ive told him once, twice, etc times to close the door but nothing so....Currently (right now) this is my alternative: make the PC spit out hot air so it can warm somewhat my feet!
So how do we get this PC hot?
Posted 20 November 2012 - 08:41
A program that simplifies the usage of Intel® Linpack. Linpack by
Intel® is an extremely stressful program that will put even the most pow-
-erful X86/X64 CPU in the world at its knees. Load temp under Linpack will
be up to 22*C higher than the competing software Prime95. This program will
make usage of Linpack easier and more practical.
Keep in mind, use this program at your own risk. By using this program, you
agree that neither I nor Intel shall be responsible for including, but not
limited to: burned up CPU, fried motherboard, spontaneous room temperature
increase, hair loss, or mental stress.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 09:23
No, it isn't.
A recommendation to close the door yourself and bring an electric heater, is still on topic.
This sounds pretty stressful. I don't want to make the PC explode either

I know they are not heaters but we have always once in our life used something for not its intended purpose
Computers are not heaters. If you're going to put a machine in a position where it's getting hot enough to keep you warm, it's probably both dangerous and inefficient compared to getting a heater. And if you don't want to risk breaking the computer then you definitely need to stop thinking about this idea.

Britten Centenary 2013
Decca celebrates 100 years since the birth of England's greatest 20th Century composer, Benjamin Britten, with a unique limited edition 65-CD box containing his entire canon of works. Britten and Decca enjoyed a unique relationship with the composer recording most of his key works for the label. Decca's 1963 set of the War Requiem remains one of the fastest-selling classical releases of all time.
Beyond the huge catalogue of Britten's own recordings of his works for Decca Classics, which account for 75% of this complete edition, many other labels have kindly assisted by providing recordings of Britten's remaining works: a total of 20 labels to make this extraordinary achievement possible including EMI Classics, Virgin Classics, Naxos, Warner Classics and NMC, making this a rare example of cross-industry collaboration furthering the reputation of this titanic figure.
. . . a highly impressive gift . . . full of discographical material which will be of real interest to record collectors . . . The fullness of this collection means that even dedicated lovers of Britten's music are likely to bring into their collections works they have not had before . . . this is the once-and-for-all Britten CD purchase

The whiskey represents a global growth area, said Mario Gabelli, chairman and CEO of Gabelli Funds.
If you're looking for opportunity, Cramer says the latest Home Depot earnings are rich with ideas. Curious?
Earnings reports from Boeing and dozens of other major companies could set the course for stocks Wednesday, as the Dow reaches for new highs.
Jim Cramer thinks this company could unlock significant value with the simple stroke of a pen.
Shares of Samsung Electronics, which have surged almost 35 percent since the start of the year, closed at an all-time high on Thursday boosted by expectations that its smartphone business will continue to drive strong profit growth.
With bigger companies looking to grow, many may look to acquire smaller firms. That's one of the reasons Mario Gabelli, chairman of Gamco Investors, sees opportunity in small-cap equities.

A holiday in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is sure to stimulate your senses. From the glorious Modernisme architecture to the tantalising tapas – mingle with locals and search through spectacular markets. Go to the beach and swim in the Mediterranean.
Stroll along the famous La Rambla, where street performers and artists entertain the tourist crowds. Admire the unbelievable architecture which snakes through the city, especially Gaudi's spellbinding designs. Walk through the mysterious alleyways barrio of La Ribera and the hip El Born, which provide a great contrast to the busy city centre. Sample some delicious Basque pintxo and soak up the atmosphere at La Boqueria market – where dazzling displays of fruit and sweets captivate your imagination. Barcelona reflects many generations of art, culture and heritage, but is also a trendsetter of European fashions and music scenes. Barcelona is a city with so much going on, that you will have to come back time and again.
As one of the coolest cities in Europe, you expect Barcelona to have some of the coolest festivals. It will not disappoint. Starting 1 to 31 July, the Grec Festival is a cultural highlight. Taking its name from the open-air Grec Theatre, the festival highlights Catalonia's home-grown talent – music, dance and theatre all over the city. During this time, the Benicassim International Festival sees Blur, Florence + The Machine and Public Enemy headlining from 16 to 19 July in Benicassim Town, 100km south of Barcelona. This is one of the most respected festivals in Europe, so expect a lot of fun in the sun.

The Barri Gòtic (the Gothic Quarter) was once the centre of a bustling Roman settlement. Today, it forms the core of 21st century Barcelona – the splendour of the ancient past coexists with a vibrant present. Follow enticing smells and sounds through a maze of narrow streets lined with bars and boutiques. Discover Roman ruins in the Musea d'Historia and spectacular medieval churches, like the Cathedral de la Santa Creu I Santa Eulalia. Then join the meandering throng along La Rambla, where street performers dazzle the crowd.
Designed by Ildefons Cerdà in the mid-19th century. This vibrant area is characterised by long straight streets on a grid system, with wide tree-lined avenues crossing through. The area starts along Passeig de Gracia, and Illa de la Discòrdia. A block famous for showcasing four of Barcelona's most important and distinctive Modernist architects. You'll be mesmerised by Gaudi's spectacular art nouveau Casa Batlló. And no trip to Barcelona would be complete without seeing La Sagrada Familia, which will be finally finished in 2026.
Visit Port Vell, Barcelona's harbour, and stroll along the waterfront. See the famous Frank Gehry 'Peix d'Or' sculpture in Port Olimpic.

Lie of the Year 2011: 'Republicans voted to end Medicare'
Republicans muscled a budget through the House of Representatives in April that they said would take an important step toward reducing the federal deficit. Introduced by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the plan kept Medicare intact for people 55 or older, but dramatically changed the program for everyone else by privatizing it and providing government subsidies.

World Recognized Nutrition Expert to Speak at SLUEvent Details: 4:00 p.m., March 07, Doisy Research Center
ST. LOUIS -- Artemis Simopoulos, M.D., an internationally recognized physician and nutrition expert, will speak about fats and heart disease at 4 p.m. Monday, March 7 in conference room 468 of Doisy Research Center, 1100 S. Grand Blvd.
She is the author of "The Omega Diet" and president of the Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health, which is based in Washington, D.C.
In her book, Simopoulos explains not all fats are created equal. The omega-3 fats - found in fish and some green vegetables - have heart-protective properties. By contrast, omega-6 fats - found in vegetable oils and many meats -- cause heart disease and other medical problems.
Simopoulos's lecture is entitled "The Importance of the Omega-6/Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ratio in Cardiovascular Disease and Other Chronic Diseases." Open to the public, health professionals and university faculty, the lecture is a Saint Louis University Center for Cardiovascular Research Seminar.
Those seeking admittance should bring a photo ID. For information, contact James Shoemaker, M.D., associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine at firstname.lastname@example.com and (314) 977-9230.

.T. Barnum, the famous Bridgeport showman who delighted children around the world, was the inspiration for the P.T. Barnum Pediatric Center at Bridgeport Hospital. Barnum was also Bridgeport Hospital's first president. Like P.T., we at Bridgeport Hospital know kids, so we've made our surroundings child friendly: Bright colors, circus themes and a circular play room full of toys turn what could be a scary place into a cheery one. And we've also taken into consideration parents' needs, including pull-out sofa beds so you can sleep over with your child, and private bathrooms with showers. At Bridgeport Hospital's P.T. Barnum Pediatric Center, our goal is to make the hospital experience as pleasant as possible for you and your child.
The Best of Care for Your Child
The P.T. Barnum Pediatric Center specializes in the care of children from birth through adolescence. The 18-bed Pediatric Unit is staffed by full-time pediatric nurses, with around-the-clock in-house coverage by pediatric resident physicians–a major advantage of being a teaching hospital.

Bill Maher has a hard enough time telling jokes, he should really stay out of economics....
New Rule: With the Super Bowl only a week away, Americans must realize what makes NFL football so great: socialism. That's right, for all the F-15 flyovers and flag waving, football is our most successful sport because the NFL takes money from the rich teams and gives it to the poor teams...
Because football is built on an economic model of fairness and opportunity, and baseball is built on a model where the rich almost always win and the poor usually have no chance. The World Series is likeReal Housewives of Beverly Hills. You have to be a rich bitch just to play. The Super Bowl is like Tila Tequila. Anyone can get in....
(T)hey literally share the wealth, through salary caps and revenue sharing - TV is their biggest source of revenue, and they put all of it in a big commie pot and split it 32 ways. Because they don't want anyone to fall too far behind. That's why the team that wins the Super Bowl picks last in the next draft. Or what the Republicans would call "punishing success."
Read the "article" in its entire context at The Huffington Post
Read the rest of it if you REALLY want. I truncated most of it, and as a result I left out the intended jokes and focused soley on the real ones.
Depressing success in the name of "competition" also depresses quality of the product, or at least prevents motivation for improvement, which fuels real competition and a better quality of life. Even Maher admits this to be true of NFL teams, so why is the NFL's overall success different?
Well, separate companies selling widgets don't fall under one organizational umbrella like football teams under the NFL...or the mainstream media under the secret cabal of progressive overlords. Which is an elite group consisting of George Soros and his goblin finger puppets.
Widget companies are all individually competing for market share, so they're not in the same situation as the NFL. Football teams' economic competition is and remains localized (versus other forms of entertainment) since the teams aren't really competing for demand in markets other than their own.
The NFL recognizes that if they can maintain fan interest in all of its teams that would translate into more profit for the organization as a whole, which works because football, unlike the comedy of Bill Maher, is entertainment. So it benefits from generating the drama and mystery (and therefore fans' dollars) from season to season by forcing a level playing field.
In essence what they are doing is, in fact, capitalist...because they are taking the steps they need to take to maximize profit in order to gain, and win, in the market of entertainment. In other words, this is a business model, not a governmental one like socialism is.
The same things simply aren't true with companies that sell widgets. It's hard to understand why Maher can't see this since it's as clear as the nose on his face.
There is another good response to all of this at News Real Blog.

Very few fruit, suture bulge, hail damage, tips, uneven halves, good taste and flavor
Reliance was released in 1964 from the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station at Durham. It is a semiclingstone, yellow-fleshed cultivar that ripens 21 days before Elberta. It has resistance to bacterial spot but in the south has poor coloration with a green ground color. It is extremely cold hardy and has a chill requirement of 1050 hours. It is grown primarily by homeowners in areas where other peach varieties would not crop due to freeze injury. It is named for its unsurpassed cold hardiness and ability to fruit in cold areas.
The description of each variety of peach or nectarine fruit under each group is in different formats as this information is collected from varied sources and hence is not consistent
