Kitesurfing Expert Shows Commitment to Making Kitesurfing Safe and Accessible with 10,000-Book Giveaway
Kitesurfing expert Shawn Tieskotter recently released his book How to Kitesurf on Amazon.com - and he's giving away 10,000 digital copies in order to further his favorite sport. The book is intended not just to teach people to kitesurf but also to teach them how to be safe while doing it. How to Kitesurf will be distributed on BN.com and in the iBook format in the future.
"I consider it my responsibility to the kitesurfing community," said Tieskotter upon the book's release. "Kitesurfing is actually a very safe sport, yet there are still too many injuries every year. Most of these injuries would be completely avoidable if new kitesurfers were just a little better educated."
Aside from teaching kitesurfers how to avoid preventable injuries, Tieskotter's book also teaches enthusiasts how to deal with conditions beyond their control. These incidents include "Poltergusts" (a frighteningly strong or chaotic gust of wind) and Kitemares (any nightmare of a situation, such as losing control during a strong whipping wind, as may happen while kitesurfing).
Kitesurfing - often considered an "extreme sport" - has been growing massively in popularity in the 21st century. In fact, the sport was a serious contender to replace windsurfing in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. Despite having such influential advocates as billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson (founder of Virgin Records, Virgin Mobile, and Virgin Airways), kiting could not quite edge out the favorite of the Royal Yachting Association.

Cystoscopy is a test to look at the inner lining of the bladder and the tube from the bladder to the outside of the body (urethra). The cystoscope is a thin, lighted viewing tool that is put into the urethra and moved into the bladder.
A cystoscopy can check for stones, tumors, bleeding, and infection. Cystoscopy can see areas of the bladder and urethra that usually do not show up well on X-rays. Tiny surgical instruments can be put through the cystoscope to remove samples of tissue (biopsy) or samples of urine.
Cystoscopy also can be used to treat some bladder problems, such as removing small bladder stones and some small growths.

The Vampire Diaries
Nina Dobrev and More Send Ian Somerhalder Birthday Wishes on Twitter
It was a big weekend for Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore). He turned the big 3-4 on December 8, and several members of the cast wished him happy birthday on Twitter. But since none of them actually tweeted #HappyBirthdayIanSomerhalder, that trending topic was all the fans.
Happy birthday @iansomerhalder— Steven McQueen (@McQueeninchains) December 8, 2012

It seems like every day there's a new form of online dating. No matter what type of relationship you're looking for — from the forever kind to the friends-with-benefits kind — there's an app for that! I've been hearing my girlfriends discuss their wins and losses with a variety of online-dating phone apps, so I'm breaking down the newest means of tech-based courtship.
— Additional reporting by Sierra Horton
You may know the HowAboutWe dating app [1] as the one that lets you find and put out date ideas in your area. But the recently released version comes with two new features that make the process even easier. Speed Date allows you to browse photos and dates that you can skip over, or double tap if you're interested. And Date Map helps you search and find all those local date ideas on an interactive map.
Coining itself as the "Uber for Dates," Pure [2] is all about immediacy, stating that it aims "to be all about exploring different dynamics with different people — sexual, emotional, psychological, and spiritual." The app is free initially, then you have to pay for continued use. This is basically how it works: you post a meeting request that lasts for one hour and, if somebody takes you up on your offer, you are able to then accept or decline, depending on whether you like what you see or not.
At First Sight
The Bachelor host Chris Harrison introduced dating app At First Sight [3], a joint venture between him and the franchise's creator, Mike Fleiss. What sets this smartphone app (available on Android) apart from all the other online dating apps out there is that it uses video profiles. With the popularity of the Vine app, it's no surprise that this is the next evolution of online dating.
Tinder [4] is an iPhone app for finding someone purely based on looks. It's essentially an online dating version of "do, dump, or marry," pulling Facebook profile photos and allowing you to quickly click through them selecting either "like" or "nope." Only pairs who "liked" each other have the option to message and set up a date. With its addictive game format, I'd be hard-pressed to believe that Tinder has a high success rate for actual dates. On the other hand, the app capitalizes on the reality that physical attraction is often key to at least meeting that someone special.
Grouper Social Club
Grouper [5] is a website and iPhone app that sets you and your friends up on a group date by connecting to your Facebook profile. It matches up three guys and three girls (or same-sex couplings) based on your age, education, job, interests, and "general lifestyle." Basically, you pick your wingwomen, and the site selects the date, location, and guys (it also provides a round of free drinks). I could see how the group dates would involve less pressure and more fun, but I'd guess it probably leads to more friendships than serious relationships.
Lulu [6] is an Android and iPhone app for women to review men. You can go on the app — that calls itself a "database of men" — to see whether that guy you're into is the real deal or a sleazeball. Even though you're encouraged to log in via Facebook, the reviews are anonymous. You can rate the guys numerically in a variety of categories like humor, appearance, and manners, as well as choose from serious and silly hashtags provided, like #AlwaysPays, #RespectsWomen, #Boring, and #WearsEdHardy. Have you used Lulu?
OkCupid App
Free online dating website OkCupid [7] has a revamped app for iPhone and Android that it touts as the "best and highest rated dating app on earth." In addition to being able to access matches, visitors, and messages like on the site, the app finds your local matches and provides a way for you to broadcast your date ideas (like HowAboutWe [8]'s concept). The newest feature of the OkCupid app is a questionnaire feature — answer a few questions and you'll be matched with the people most compatible to you!
Checkhimout [9] is a website and an app that claims to put the power 100 percent in women's hands so that they choose who they want instead of being inundated with messages from undesirables. Female users make the first move, putting men in their "shopping bag."
Coffee Meets Bagel
Coffee Meets Bagel [10] uses Facebook to match you with a friend of a friend. It uses a game-like interface to make the experience fun, and it sounds a lot safer to date at least a friend of a friend than a total stranger, right? The site boasts that it's "designed for singles who want to find something real with little or no effort."
Grindr [11] is an all-male dating app that connects men based off of their location. Guys can see who is in their area and strike up conversations, then meet up for dates. What's nice about this app is that you don't have to connect it to any other social media account — you don't even have to upload a picture if you don't want to (although it is encouraged).
From the minds of previous Tinder executives comes Bumble [12], a newly released iOS app that lets women run the show. Like Tinder, Bumble lets users swipe right to approve and left to decline. If two users mutually swipe each other right, they are allowed to chat, but here's the kicker: only women can initiate the conversation, and they only have 24 hours to do so before the connection disappears.
Hinge [13] is all about authenticity — meeting "real people, through your real friends, in real life" in the same way that you would at a social gathering. You're only set up with mutual friends (through Facebook) and, in comparison to more "at a glance" apps like Tinder, Hinge provides users with way more information about their compatible matches. The app is available for iOS and Android.
Tastebuds [14] puts a spin on your run-of-the-mill online dating app by making the experience about music. You're matched up with people in your location based on a shared interest in the same kind of music! The app allows you to add your favorite bands or scan your iPhone music library to begin and go from there. According to the site, a lot of people use it to make new friends and concert buddies as well as to find dates.

PIERCETON — In May, 3-year-old Blaire Deeter was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, which is a rare cancerous tumor in the eye's retina.
Retinoblastoma is rapidly-developing cancer that develops in the cells of retina, the light-detecting tissue of the eye.
Blaire is the daughter of Whitko High School graduate Katie Deeter and granddaughter of Debbie (Deeter) Reed, who also graduated from WHS.
To offset medical expenses for Blaire's treatments in Cincinnati, "Blaire's Ride" will take place Saturday with registration beginning at 9:30 a.m. at The Post in Pierceton.
The ride will begin at 11 a.m. at The Post with five stops planned.
The final destination will be The Legion Post #258 in Pierceton with a hog roast, entertainment, corn hole tournament, raffles and 50/50 drawings.
The cost is $20 per rider and $10 per passenger. Cost for the hog roast to non-riders is $8 and $5 for children under 10 years old.
For more information, contact Janie Wyman at (574) 253-2962 or Cameron Cone at (574) 265-3921.

The Washington Nationals have signed Micah Owings to a minor league deal. Owings, 30, was called a first-basemen in the teams announcement suggesting that he has given up pitching. Owings pitched for six seasons at the major league level. As a pitcher Owings compiled a 4.86 ERA and 32-33 record over 68 starts and 70 relief appearances, he had trouble with injuries and control. Owings made the switch to become a position last season while with San Diego. Owings played one game at first-base at the Triple-A level last season. How much of an impact Owings will make as a position player will be an interesting storyline to follow in spring training. In theory if he proves to be a serviceable bat he could also pitch for the team in worst case scenarios. In 219 major league plate appearances, the right-handed batter has a .283/.310/.502 with nine home runs and 35 RBI.

The April 2009 Threatscape Report identified more incidents of new and known malware infections than ever before.
Fortinet said that certain countries and areas are being specifically targeted, and that China had seen the worst attacks. The report also identified online gaming sites as the most common vehicles for infection.
"April was a busy month for cyber criminals, who unleashed the most aggressive malware attacks thus far this year," said Derek Manky, project manager for cyber security and threat research at Fortinet.
"We believe that this upward trend will endure, and that online gaming attacks will continue to dominate the estimated US$2bn annual market."
China endured 45 per cent of global malware infections, almost double the figure found in the firm's last research paper.
Separate research by software-as-a-service security firm ScanSafe found that, while the amount of malware is growing, so is its ability to affect end-user systems. The report said that 58 per cent of the malware it had discovered were 'zero day' threats.
ScanSafe identified a 20 per cent rise in the amount of malware since the end of the last quarter, and a threefold increase since the same period in 2007.
"Zero day malware is increasing and, with signature-based scanners not picking up an average of 20 per cent of malware, it is now crucial to use real-time scanning to ensure that your employees, network and, most importantly, your data is not at risk," said Mary Landesman, senior security researcher at ScanSafe.
"With malware increasing in volume and sophistication, and no foreseeable slowdown in sight, it is more important than ever that companies have a comprehensive web security solution in place."

Core Oil & Gas Plays
Penn Virginia Corporation (NYSE: PVA) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil, NGLs and natural gas in various domestic onshore regions of the United States, with a primary focus in the Eagle Ford Shale of south Texas.
PVA was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1882. Our headquarters and corporate office is located in Radnor, Pennsylvania, and our operations are primarily conducted from our office in Houston, Texas. We also have district operations facilities at various locations in Texas.
In mid-2010, we made the decision to shift our investment and production focus away from natural gas and toward higher margin oil and NGLs. Over the course of four years, we have succeeded in transforming ourselves from a predominantly natural gas producer to a predominantly oil and NGL producer. Since year-end 2010, we have increased our acreage position in the Eagle Ford Shale from approximately 7,500 net acres to approximately 145,500 (104,300 net) acres as of October 2014 and, in 3Q14, crude oil and NGLs accounted for approximately 74 percent of total production and 91 percent of product revenues as compared to 15 percent of production and 26 percent of product revenues in 2009. Our Eagle Ford Shale properties are located principally in the "volatile oil window" and "Upper Eagle Ford" portion of the play, and we believe they provide us with an approximate 12-year drilling inventory based on our current pace of drilling and results.
To accomplish our natural gas-to-oil transformation, we made several significant oil and NGL acquisitions in the Eagle Ford Shale, and disposed of a significant portion of our natural gas and other non-core assets. We completed our initial acquisition in 2010 when we acquired 6,800 net undeveloped Eagle Ford Shale acres in Gonzales County, Texas. In April 2013, we made a significant acquisition of 40,600 gross (17,700 net) acres in Gonzales County and Lavaca County, Texas, including producing properties, primarily contiguous with our initial acreage. In addition, since 2010, we have acquired through a combination of leasing and earning through drilling approximately 96,700 gross (79,800 net) Eagle Ford Shale acres in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties contiguous with or near our previously acquired Eagle Ford Shale acreage.
Since 2010, we have disposed of an aggregate of approximately $480 million of non-core assets located in Appalachia, the Arkoma Basin and the Gulf Coast regions of South Texas and Louisiana. Most recently, in January 2014, we sold our South Texas natural gas gathering assets for approximately $96 million. In July 2014 we sold a portion of our rights to gather and transport oil in South Texas for $150 million and we closed the sale of our Mississippi assets, which included year-end 2013 proved reserves of approximately 14 MMBOE and 3Q14 production of 652 BOEPD, for approximately $73 million.

Eve Samples: Really? Tree-climbing is a liability for our kids?
My childhood home, like most in our Miami neighborhood, had a backyard the size of a postage stamp.
Still, we kids found nature. We didn't have to look far.
At the end of our dead-end street, there was a pocket of woods with a leggy ficus tree and lots of untamed oaks. Those woods fueled our imaginations and tired our bodies.
We swung on the ficus roots, climbed the crooked arms of the oaks and sprinted under their canopies.
Was it dangerous? Sometimes, a little.
Yet nobody cut those limbs back in the name of liability.
We live in a different age now.
About a week ago, a contractor hired by Martin County cut the graceful, low-hanging limbs off an old oak tree at Zeus Park in Hobe Sound.
The long arms of the tree had become unruly. Some almost touched the ground — a definite perk for the neighborhood kids who enjoyed climbing and jumping on them.
But a recent insurance inspection noted they were a liability for Martin County, which owns the park. So the county paid Tri-Brothers Tree and Landscaping $1,200 to prune the limbs (under the guidance of two certified arborists).
"I'm just fuming about it," said Mark Shepherd, whose house overlooks Zeus Park. "It had so much character to it."
Now, let's make one thing clear: This old oak remains beautiful.
I visited Zeus Park to get a look at it, and its canopy remains broad. Its thick triptych of trunks is undisturbed.
But the neighbors know what's missing.
"It was just a lovely part of the park, and it gave us some shade, which is so desperately needed," said Suzanne Briley, who lives near the park.
There's less shade now.
The general rule for oak trees is to avoid pruning them unless they are a hazard, said Peggy Kane, a master gardener at the Martin County Cooperative Extension.
She took a look at the Zeus Park oak and felt it was appropriately trimmed. Since it is next to a playground, she understood why the county would be concerned about liability.
"We kind of live in that kind of world," Kane said.
In addition to the liability factor, Martin County pruned the tree for its own health, spokeswoman Gabriella Ferraro told me.
"It creates a healthier tree to remove the limbs that are being jumped on and damaged," Ferraro said.
"The children should not be jumping or climbing on the trees anyway," she continued. "There's actually a county ordinance against that."
A county ordinance against tree-climbing? That surprised me as much as anything I learned about the Zeus Park oak.
I looked up the county's ordinances governing parks, and the closest I could find was this:
"It shall be unlawful for any person in any county park to disturb, destroy, remove or damage any cultural or natural resource including vegetation."
Maybe that applies to tree-climbing and branch-jumping, but it seems a bit of a stretch. I hope we haven't grown so overly cautious that we would flat-out prohibit kids from climbing trees.
A line I recently happened on from Robert Frost's poem "Birches" gets at what we seem to be losing:
"When I see birches bend to left and right / Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging them."
The swinging spots of the Zeus Park oak are largely gone now.
As I stood under the tree Friday, I thought of my 3-year-old son. He loves to climb into the crooked arm of a bottlebrush tree in our front yard. It's low enough for him to hop onto.
Yes, he's fallen out of it a time or two. When that happens, I scoop him up and wipe his tears.
Those moments are pretty wonderful, too.

Updated 11/13/2013
Caffè Florian opened up in 1720 as Venezia Trionfante (Triumphant Venice) but was soon renamed after its founder, Floriano Francesconi. The café started as a fashionable spot for a hot chocolate, but during the Austrian domination of Venice it became the favorite meeting place of Italian patriots and intellectuals who boycotted the rival Caffè Quadri across the piazza because of its Austrian military clientele. Stucco, mirrors, wooden carvings, and intimate booths date back to 1859, but the historical atmosphere comes at a price: though an espresso at the bar costs €2, sitting doubles that price, and live music will double it again. Afternoon tea can end up costing as much as a meal. Unlike most cafés, they do take credit cards.

In an era of high-powered offense in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers both bring hard-hitting defense to next Sunday's Super Bowl. Second-half shutouts - and injured opponents - in the conference title games are the latest reminder that defense still matters. The 49ers' defense ranked third this season in points allowed at 15.5. The Ravens gave up 20, but were missing Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs for stretches. The Ravens were whistled for a league-high 19 personal fouls and penalized more yards overall than anyone else. The 49ers tied for fourth with 15 personal fouls and ranked fifth in penalty yardage. Says Ravens cornerback Cary Williams: ''It's in our DNA. We don't bring in guys that's timid. We don't bring in guys that's not going to hit.''

Sure. You cannot exactly just close-source a GPL-ed project. It just means Xen now has a "sponsor" for enterprise installations in corporate environments where managers feel better if they pay for something because they misguidedly believe that passing the buck up the vendor chain makes it less of their responsibility when something goes wrong. :-)

Originally written on CLNS Radio | Last updated 5/13/13
The New England Patriots just added some size and depth in the offensive line today as the team inked guard Tyronne Green to a deal. Green;s agents, Schwartz and Feinsod, have confirmed the signed via Twitter. Green was one of the four players brought in last week for workouts and wasn't initially offered a contract, but the Pats like what they saw. The signing of Green now leaves the Patriots with 89 players on its roster, with just one slot open. Green, an Auburn University product, was the starting left guard last season for the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers drafted Green in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft and has made 28 career starts in 41 games. Green can be somewhat versatile as well, playing some center in his NFL career. The 27 year old guard from Pensacola, Florida is switching teams for the first time in his four year NFL career. Tyronne Green will join Logan Mankins and Marcus Cannon, however Belichick would prefer Cannon at tackle, on the depth chart at left g...

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today at the World Congress of Cardiology (WCC), the press conference entitled "New Perspectives in Atrial Fibrillation Management" chaired by John Camm, Professor of Clinical Cardiology, St George's University of London, highlighted the importance of the newly announced ATHENA clinical trial results, as the way forward in the future management of Atrial fibrillation, the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia.
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/sanofiaventis/33333/
"ATHENA is truly a landmark trial, that marks a paradigm change for the management of atrial fibrillation," said Prof Christopher Cannon, a Senior Investigator in the TIMI Study Group at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, who was not involved in the study. "Atrial fibrillation is a very common disease, and our prior treatment options have been focused only on symptom relief and a hope to not do harm, which has been the problem with prior antiarrhythmic drugs. Now, with a highly significant reduction in cardiovascular hospitalisation or death, as well as a 45% reduction in arrhythmic death or 30% cardiovascular death, dronedarone may become a first line treatment of atrial fibrillation."
The ATHENA study results were presented by Prof Stefan Hohnloser last week (15th May 08) at the Heart Rhythm Society's 29th Annual Scientific Sessions in San Francisco, USA. The study results show that dronedarone significantly decreased the risk of cardiovascular hospitalisations or death from any cause by 24% (p=0.00000002), meeting the study's primary endpoint. Results of the primary endpoint were consistent across all the pre-specified clinically relevant subgroups.
The most frequently reported adverse events of Multaq(R) vs. placebo in
the ATHENA trial were gastro-intestinal effects (

Tell the USDA to Support Stronger Conservation of Biodiversity in Organic Agriculture SystemsTuesday, February 17th, 2015
[This action alert has been completed. The comment period is now closed.]
Comments Due by February 27, 2015
Long held principles of organic farming commonly articulate values and goals that link organic farms with protection of biodiversity. "Organic production" is defined in federal regulations as a "production system that is managed to respond to site-specific conditions by integrating cultural, biological and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity." [Emphasis added.]
Over the years, the National Organic Standards Board has issued guidance statements and has urged the USDA's National Organic Program to strengthen biodiversity conservation by issuing formal, enforceable guidance. (Adapted from "Implementation of Biodiversity Conservation in Organic Agriculture Systems, NOSB March 5, 2009.)
The National Organic Program has now issued a Guidance that applies to all phases of the organic system, including both the production and handling/processing of organic food. This proposed Guidance to conserve biodiversity is a significant step forward, but needs further strengthening. Please show your support for the following key points.

I don't know whether to comfort him or not?
I like this guy and we are close, but not dating. He's older than me by a fair bit, and our families have known each other for a very long... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
It does make a lot of sense. Do go about comforting him but with logic not just caring words. If he is upset about how he is..point out his goodness to him.
Tell him no man is perfect. Then advice him to do things which would help him be what he wants. DO KEEP IN MIND. COMFORT HIM WITH LOGIC NOT JUST MERE CARING WORDS.
Thanks, that's really good advice :)
u are welcome :)
What Guys Said 4
It doesn't matter if your families have know each other. What matters is how you feel about it. The one guy who makes fun of him probably sees that you don't like this and that other guy could be your guy. Yes just let him deal with his own stuff. Otherwise he will become dependent on you for emotional stability. This is a friend. A non-friend would be dependent and lead him down a path of less independence and it would be a mistake.
You mentioned what a friend and a non-friend would do, but what about a girlfriend? What would they do?
Yeah you should comfort him.
Just ask him "hey what's wrong" and start having a conversation.
Try to make him laugh, nothing's better than having a friend to comfort someone who's feeling sad.
But don't be scared of physical contact, you can give him a hug and stroke/pet/pat his back.
So ifI put my arm around his shoulder, is that considered too girlfriendish, or is it fine? Thanks for the advice by the way :)
Naaahhh that's cool, my girl friends do that :)

Agencies line up for BT 2012 comms task
By Anne Cassidy, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 01 April 2010 08:00AM
LONDON - BT has called a pitch for the communications planning and creative work for its 2012 Olympics sponsorship.
The telecoms giant has contacted agencies inviting them to pitch for the business through the AAR.
Media agencies have been offered the opportunity to pitch for the sponsorship activation brief in addition to comms planning, with the option of partnering with a sports sponsorship or PR company. Pitches are expected to take place in mid-April.
BT's ad agency of record is Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO and its media planning and buying account is held by the WPP-owned Maxus.
BT is a tier one sponsor of the London Olympics, along with the likes of BP, Lloyds TSB and British Airways.
Tier one sponsors donate around £40m and are expected to get publicity worth up to £80m from their connection with the Games and the use of the 2012 logo on ads with the Olympic rings.
BT shifted its £75m media out of Publicis' VivaKi and into Maxus in February following lengthy negotiations with WPP's Group M. The move came less than two years into a three-year contract that Publicis signed with BT in 2008.
BT's 'BT family' campaign, by AMV, promotes the BT Vision and Broadband products and stars the My Family actor Kris Marshall.

But our small nation doesn't have the scientific resources for such a feat,
The long term value of the sculpture on the other hand could inspire generations and its success will hinge on whether the cup is won or not.
and who knows, perhaps the winning of the cup will wrest upon the qualities of the sculpture. Perhaps it's specifically designed to inspire the men in black. Either way, we're going to look pretty dumb, being possibly the only country with a rugby sculpture of that magnitude, if we fail to win the cup in our own country.

I can't think of anything more appropriate than a statue of rugby guys to represent the NZ massive to the world. but I'd probably hold out just a little longer, I don't know, perhaps until a work is finished, before weighing in on whether it's Art or not. Taste is a matter of taste.
Field Theory: A post about art (sort of),
Field Theory: A post about art (sort of),
I have been arguing that 'art' is a term given to particular practices that originated in Europe but are now found world-wide, practices not just of creation but also of display, exchange and collecting.
Paul is quite right. Although the Chinese developed silk fabric in 3500BC and although In ancient China, writing, as well as painting, was done on silk. and despite the fact that after the invention of paper in the 1st century CE, silk was gradually replaced by the new and cheaper material, none of the works rendered on paper or silk were displayed exchanged or collected, the Chinese Intelligentsia merely wiped their asses with the works between arguments about aesthetics.
art is a virus tangent:
艺术 yìshù = art
艺 yì = art; talent, ability; craft
术 shù = art, skill, special feat; method, technique
工艺 gōngyì = arts and crafts / industrial arts
工 gōng = labor, work; worker, laborer
艺 yì = art; talent, ability; craft
Key is the 'special feature' definition of '术 shù', in that the character is also used denoting unfathomable terms such as,
法术 fǎshù = magic
炼金术 liànjīnshù = alchemy
读心术 dúxīnshù = mind reading (in psychology or Western magic)
More interestingly though is that in ancient texts the term is represented by the characters "兿 yi"='planting' "埶 shù"='technique/ technology'.
Some scholars think that this "planting" refers to more than purely agricultural practices,
"the human spirit is the house planting the seeds of its experience/ value/ growth in technology."- Meaning in a week there will be a change in the form of a leap from the original state to a new state of consciousness. And so the original meaning of "planting" is taken to have developed into this extended meaning.
Field Theory: A post about art (sort of),
Only if some person or persons acting in behalf of a certain social institution has first conferred the attribute 'chillable' upon it. Then sure...
The refrigerator man understands what will chill.

Why Google is Forcing You to Become Your Own Publisher

By Mickie E Kennedy
The algorithms at Google HQ are moving and shaking again, and they dramatically affect how you'll approach public relations and press releases moving forward. If you've been using the more traditional routes to get noticed "newspapers, magazines, other journalists, etc." then you may want to start rethinking your strategies.
That's because a new update to Panda 4.0, Google's controversial search algorithm update, came down the wire recently. One of the original Panda's big changes was a step away from press releases, but the search engine company has changed its tune as of late.

As one of the first testers I just uploaded video from the test server and new vehicles. And they are awesome !!!
Still some bugs in game, but its going to be good once they are fixed.
Enjoy my first vehicle ride (Thanks knar for contributing me a hoover):

Just got done with my trial. Actually i think it was you i saw and attacked for fun, being the only person i really saw.
Regardless, the new stuff they added seem confusing to me, a potenital new player, given how unplayable combat is in the game.
They need to fix that first and formost. So many people want to like this game but is so unplayable on so many levels, especially combat, all thse patches and updates seem moot if they cant get the game to a state where mobs and people dont rubberband and teleport during combat.
Id give any game like earthrise, a sci fi sandbox, my full support, however i cant deal with combat as it is currently. This ignores the mobs prefictible straight line attack AI tactics, which was actually quite difficult because i didnt know if i should be targeting where the mob was drawn or where knew the mob to be (in melee range).
Regardless ill be back if and when they get the game to a playable state, as will the hordes of people who want a game just like this one.
Make it playable then deal with endgame stuff and fluff.
