New UF study reveals oldest primate lived in treesJanuary 20th, 2015
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Say "primate" and most people wouldn't think of a tree-dwelling, squirrel-like creature that weighs no more than a deck of playing cards, but a new study suggests that may perfectly describe humans' earliest primate ancestors.
Found in the same area of Montana that yielded the massive Tyrannosaurus rex, new ankle bones smaller than a penny provide the first fossil evidence that the oldest primates lived in trees.
That's important because living in trees gave those early primates access to food sources that other species lacked – likely a critical factor in why primates succeeded in evolution where others may have failed.
The study appearing this week in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences describes the first bones below the skull of Purgatorius—previously known only by its teeth. The shape of the teeth allowed paleontologists to determine the tree shrew-like animal ate insects and (more…)

Global 'tree of life' study shows insects ruled Earth 400 million years agoNovember 6th, 2014
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A new study involving more than 100 researchers from 10 countries, including the University of Florida, has reconstructed the insect tree of life and found, among other things, that insects ruled the land 400 million years ago.
The cover story in Friday's issue of the journal Science answers many long-held questions about the evolution of the world's largest and most biodiverse group of animals, information essential to understanding the millions of living insect species that shape our terrestrial living space and support and threaten our natural resources.
The new tree of life incorporated many fossils, making it the first dated evolutionary tree of this magnitude, said co-author Akito Kawahara, assistant curator of Lepidoptera at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the UF campus, who leads the butterfly and moth initiative for the ongoing project.
"Until now, we didn't have a good understanding of how these diverse groups of insects are related to each other," "Until now, we didn't have a good understanding of how these diverse groups of insects are related to each other," said Kawahara, a researcher in the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, which holds one of the world's largest collections of butterflies and moths.

Tour the cosmos during Starry Night event Nov. 14October 30th, 2014
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — It's written in the stars that Florida Museum of Natural History visitors will have an opportunity to observe the universe with astronomy experts during the eighth annual Starry Night from 6 to 10 p.m. Nov. 14.
Visitors can stargaze during a planetarium show and with professional-quality telescopes provided by area astronomists at this free, family-friendly event. A 3-D "AstroWall" will also allow visitors to view the cosmos in another dimension.
Representatives from the Alachua Astronomy Club, Santa Fe College natural sciences department's astronomy program, the Kika Silva Pla Planetarium and UF astronomy department will help visitors uncover the mysteries of the night sky.

Attendees will earn a prize by tracking their activities with a "Passport to the Universe." They also have an opportunity to dine under the stars by visiting the event's food vendor, High Springs Orchard and (more…)
New study shows megalodon shark became extinct 2.6 million years agoOctober 22nd, 2014
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A new University of Florida study dismisses claims that megalodon is still alive by determining a date of extinction for the largest predatory shark to ever live.
Researchers from UF and the University of Zurich hope the study appearing online today in the journal PLOS ONE showing the species became extinct 2.6 million years ago will clarify public confusion. The study may also one day help scientists better understand the potential widespread effects of losing the planet's top predators, said lead author Catalina Pimiento.
"I was drawn to the study of Carcharocles megalodon's extinction because it is fundamental to know when species became extinct to then begin to understand the causes and consequences of such an event," said Pimiento, a doctoral candidate at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the UF campus. "I also think people who are interested in this animal deserve to know what the scientific evidence shows, especially following Discovery Channel specials that implied megalodon may still be alive."
The study represents the first phase of Pimiento's ongoing reconstruction of megalodon's extinction. As modern top predators, especially large sharks, are significantly declining worldwide due to the current biodiversity crisis, Pimiento said this study serves as the basis to better understand the consequences of these changes.
"When you remove large sharks, then small sharks are very abundant and they consume more of the invertebrates that we humans eat," Pimiento said. "Recent estimations show that large-bodied, shallow-water species of sharks are at greatest risk among marine animals, and (more…)
Scouting programs offer badges, nature explorationOctober 16th, 2014
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are invited to get a closer look at the natural world by participating in their next adventure at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

The program from 1 to 4 p.m. allows Brownie or Junior Girl Scouts to experience hands-on activities and experiments while meeting local scientists. The Scouts can earn a museum patch created for the event.
"I am very excited for this new program," said Florida Museum educator Amanda Harvey. "The Scouts will have a unique opportunity to meet with many of our local scientists and to learn what kind of research is being done right here in Gainesville."
The program is $5 per Scout including the patch. Girls may attend with their guardians or (more…)
'Megalodon' celebration activities set for Oct. 26October 15th, 2014
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Museum of Natural History is planning a "fintastic" celebration for the "Megalodon: Largest Shark that Ever Lived" exhibit from 1 to 4 p.m. Oct. 26.
The free, family-friendly event celebrates the prehistoric shark and its connections to modern-day species, including conservation efforts needed to protect sharks.
"I hope visitors are inspired to learn about their environment's past and protect their environment's future," said Florida Museum educator Tiffany Ireland.
Employees and students from the museum's departments of ichthyology, invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany, as well as the FOSSIL program, will have displays on sharks and fossils. Visitors may also speak with representatives from the Florida Paleontological Society, Florida Fossil Hunters and other area fossil clubs about their discoveries and research, including prehistoric sharks that swam over and (more…)

Batters the Royals could have had.
Ok, I haven't been on here too much lately, but don't think for a second that I haven't been keeping tabs on my favorite team. I check in every once in a while to see what everyone's talking about, just don't have too much time to contribute to the conversations. Anywho, I wanted to put together a list of hitters the Royals were rumored to have interest in last offseason and see how they're doing so far this year. Let's get to it.
Orlando Hudson - .329 BA, .410 OBP, 3 HR, 32 RBI, 17 doubles, 4 SB. Hudson has been lighting it up for the Dodgers. From what I remember he's been hitting in the three spot and thriving. Would have been a great signing for the Royals and their desperately needed offense.
Rafael Furcal - .244 BA, .308 OBP, 1 HR, 11 RBI, 8 doubles, 3 SB. He hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire, but he's definitely been doing better than Mike Aviles has this year. Also, he hasn't had any severe back problems yet, which was a major concern going into the year.
Raul Ibanez - .337 BA, .395 OBP, 19 HR, 52 RBI, 13 doubles, 4 SB. Ok, we all know he's been tearing the cover off the ball. Obviously would have been a great signing. And with the way Jose Guillen's been looking in the outfield, he'd be an upgrade there too. Who woulda thought?
Juan Rivera - .301 BA, .341 OBP, 5 HR, 21 RBI, 8 doubles, 0 SB. This would have been a great signing as far as I'm concerned. Not too expensive and has plenty of potential. The Angels have a crowded outfield, so he'd be getting alot more AB's in a Royals uniform.
Orlando Cabrera - .225 BA, .276 OBP, 2 HR, 17 RBI, 7 doubles, 1 SB. He's obviously having a subpar year, so this one isn't hurting too much, but I'm guessing he's going to turn it around and he's not too expensive.
Milton Bradley - .220 BA, .338 OBP, 5 HR, 14 RBI, 3 doubles, 0 SB. He's struggling so far and who knows if he's going to get it back. If he doesn't, then he's just another Jose Guillen that we got lucky by not signing.
Adam Dunn - .263 BA, .392 OBP, 16 HR, 42 RBI, 7 doubles, 0 SB. Another typical year for Dunn. He'll have 40+ homeruns and have an OBP around .400 and be a pretty good signing, although it's on a horrible team.
Pat Burrell - .250 BA, .349 OBP, 1 HR, 17 RBI, 4 doubles, 1 SB. This was a signing that alot of people wanted to see. Well, so far he hasn't produced, but he's been hurt for part of the season. Will probably be good in the second half is my guess.
There were obviously some instances where this offense could have had some very good help. Ibanez, Hudson, Dunn and Rivera have been good to great so far. I always have to keep in mind that with the season that Dunn's having, the Nationals still can't win a game so how much is one guy going to help this offense really? Maybe an extra run a week? Maybe two? We're going to need more than that to get some W's.
If I'm missing someone, feel free to let me know. I'm half asleep so the memory is a little foggy.
I'll be back before too long to take a look at the pitchers.

Royals '08-'09 Offseason So Far
Since the offseason is winding down and it doesn't look like the Royals have many bullets left in the gun unless they make a trade, I wanted to take a look at the good and bad deals this offseason.
First, the good aquisitions.
I wish there was more to put in that section, but there just isn't. Now on to the questionable moves.
Ok, now I'll get back to the Mike Jacobs deal and explain myself. We traded Nunez for him, and it seemed that Nunez was figuring out how to pitch in the bigs. He wasn't making much money and now you have Jacobs for at least $3 million. Not to mention that you had to sign Farnsworth to replace him, which is $4.625 million. So if you don't trade for Jacobs and don't sign Farnsworth, that leaves you with about $7 million in money to spend. Also, if you don't sign Horacio Ramirez for that $1.8 million deal you have around $9 million to spend. $9 MILLION! There are several scenarios in which this money could have been spent that I can see.
I know signing Hudson or any of the pitchers mentioned above may be a stretch, but if you have $9 million to spend, you can shuffle around and find a few million more, especially Hudson since you wouldn't have had to sign Bloomquist so that's another $1.5 million. Let's take a look at scenario #1. Here's what the line-up would have looked like.
Starting Rotation
Now mix and match that line-up as you want to with the scenarios provided. Doesn't look too bad huh? This offseason could have been so much better if we would have been patient and let the market come to us. Trading for Jacobs right off the bat put us in a hole that we had to spend money to dig out of, and I'm not sure if we've even done that.

Rare Mass Tombs Discovered Near Machu PicchuBreaking News
Eighty skeletons and stockpiles of textiles found in caves near the ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu may shed light on the role that the so-called lost city of the Inca played as a regional center of trade and power, scientists say.
Researchers found the artifacts and remains at two sites within the Machu Picchu Archaeological Park in southeastern Peru, said Fernando Astete, head of the park (see map of Peru).
The remains, most of which were found in May 2008 at a site called Salapunku, probably date to 500 to 550 years ago, said Francisco Huarcaya, the site's lead researcher.

Portishead must have gotten some kind of response from the Weeknd's camp on the issue of his new song "Belong to the World", which sounds a whole lot like Portishead's "Machine Gun".
"Seems The Weekend have said there is no sample used or enough likeness to Machine Gun to warrant any infringement....or credit," Geoff Barrow wrote on Twitter this morning. Which means the Weeknd, after being denied permission to sample the song, might have just recorded a very similar-sounding beat.
The Weeknd's camp has not responded to our request for comment. Watch the new video for "Belong to the World", the song in question:

Echo Chamber: Portishead's Geoff Barrow on Amy Winehouse ("Whiney Shithouse")
By Carrie Battan on September 20, 2012 at 3:19 p.m. EDT
"I think Whiney Shitehouse -- Amy Winehouse -- by the end of it, had become just a comic character of herself and how she sang. I saw her with an electric guitar in a little pub in Bristol and people were going 'that's amazing' but it wasn't all that. Then she had the big drug problem and all the tabloids got involved and she would start being Minnie Ripperton or whatever it was. It seemed fake, but because there was a massive drug problem you couldn't say it was fake, but her actual voice was fake. She had a real life with a fake voice."
-- Yes, Portishead/Beak's Geoff Barrow really did call Amy Winehouse "Whiney Shithouse". (ElectronicBeats.net, via Spinner). He later wrote on Twitter, "I'm sure she was a lovely caring talented person - I didn't know her.Very sad that she passed away - but I never dug her vibe."

Good afternoon, my dear Bomb fellows. As I found myself waiting for yesterday's Bradley May Cry to be posted, I came to the realization that holy fucking mother of God, there's a shitload of video content on the site! And I've watched around 75% of it (I'm missing most WU/TANG and the P4 ER, since I want to play the game myself before)... so, really, what am I doing with my life?
What's your favorite series? Mine's a toss up between the Marathons, Breaking Brad and the unexpected, (mostly) unscheduled gaming afternoons. I really like the "we're making this up as we go" feeling they give.

Each September is "Childhood Cancer Awareness" month. This acknowledgement of a problem means more than beautiful photos of smiling bald children. It highlights the urgency of generating action to eliminate cancer as the leading cause of death by disease for American children.
Read Whole Story
According to articles in a variety of scientific journals, numerous substances extracted from marine life (including fungi, sponges, algae, mollusks, "sea squirts," coral, and seaweed) have potential to fight other kinds of challenging cancers.
With continued scientific discovery, ongoing efforts to enact cancer control policies and collaboration among key stakeholders in the public and private sectors, we can make this century cancer's last.
Depending on the study's results, it's possible that anal health will become a routine conversation topic between doctors and patients -- and labs won't think twice when they receive a pap smear specimen from a man.
We live in an era of immense hope for the future of cancer research and the quest for new and promising treatments. The identification of new genetic mutations as viable markers for therapeutic development is driving researchers and clinicians to focus on specific pathways for targeted therapies.
We have a duty to our country and future generations to work towards turning around the grim statistics of sharply increasing incidences of cancer. We need increased resources for information, education and policies to help protect individuals, families and communities from cancer.
Since the time in April 2008 when my wife and I heard those horrible words "your child has cancer" the amount of awareness and insistence upon innovation and investment for children with cancer has increased dramatically.
Why do so many groups think that $4.9 billion per year is an acceptable level for cancer research and vote to continue this year after year, even though nearly everyone will have to deal with cancer during their lifetimes? Who came up with this figure?
Pink ribbons are for breast cancer, dark blue ribbons are for colon cancer, and so on. But cancer is more a disease of genes than one of specific tissues, so the specialization of our research and educational efforts based solely on a given cancer's tissue of origin could have detrimental aspects.
Still the most feared of all diseases, cancer now has some good news. But the responsibility is yours to make sure you are one of the good statistics, not one of the bad ones.
Cancer prevention should not be just experiments performed in a laboratory or a reason for building a new medical center, but rather cancer prevention must include looking at the choices we make in our everyday lives and in business.
I admit it. I am a huge fan of the animated show Family Guy. The Griffin family has provided me with much distraction at some of the most stressful points of my daughter Alexis' cancer journey and beyond.
Now the pink has been put away for another year and breast cancer is no longer in the spotlight. Unless you happen to be a breast cancer survivor or be battling the disease yourself, that is -- like me and millions of other women, many of us lesbians.
Better screening tools are detecting more cancers. Women's lives have been saved. These same tools are identifying more cancers that won't result in any harm.
A Michigan woman struggling with ovarian cancer took an attention-grabbing approach to voicing her displeasure with the government shutdown. On Tuesda...
As a parent who lost her child to a brain tumor, I'm commemorating September's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by red-flagging those obstacles that prevent us from raising survival rates for our youngest warriors.
I believe that insistence must be placed upon investing in research that has multiple controls in the form of collaborative checks and balances.
In the new book The Truth in Small Doses, Clifton Leaf asks why there hasn't been more success in reducing the cancer threat, considering the enormous investment in research. He argues that a "strange, dispiriting, dysfunctional" cancer culture has actually stood in the way of progress.
How do we know which newly touted treatments really work (i.e., are safe and effective) and which do not? The best way, and one that has led to steady progress in the treatment of many types of cancer in recent decades, is through the randomized controlled clinical trial.
This Memorial Day, we paused to offer thanks to all those men and women who have bravely and selflessly donned the uniform of our country to ensure ou...
Even though basic science is vital for clinical development of new medicines, research as a whole still needs to find a way to rise above incremental improvements and "think outside the box." Innovative and unorthodox approaches are the tickets to major advances.
The manner in which we as a country have been attacking the cancer problem is not working. Cancer still takes kids from their families on a daily, weekly and yearly basis and the incidence rates are not lessening. That is unacceptable.
From my earliest entree into blogging in my daughter Alexis' journal, I learned quickly that the childhood cancer community was a very disorganized and dis-unified group of entities and individuals who all had the same ultimate goal: a cure.
Money makes the world go 'round. Or so we are told. Certainly for medical research, this is true. And, for the childhood cancer community, it is clear where we fall in the federal spectrum, i.e. on the low end of the stick.
If you want to reduce your cancer risks, be careful what advice you follow. A number of activist groups offer a range of cancer-fighting tips that don't mesh with the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) latest report on cancer trends.

How do you take the car keys away from a father who taught you to drive? When did he go from wise council to frail, elderly man?
Unfortunately, the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" book series on parenting doesn't have a volume on parenting your parents. If anyone thinks dealing with aging parents is easy, they're deluding themselves. It is often one of the most difficult challenges people face during their adult lives - and one for which they're least prepared.
Money For Life: Financial Firsts

6 Ways To Leave Less For Uncle Sam
The consequences of inaction, meanwhile, can be severe. Many adult children don't understand the complexity of the problem. Why would their parents resist setting up a power of attorney? Will they have to be dragged kicking and screaming to a senior facility? The answer all too often is "yes," even well after it has become painfully apparent to others that they are no longer capable of handling their own affairs.
The fact is many elderly people don't see themselves as elderly and hate being around other old people. To them, moving to a senior facility involves making a move that they feel they can never undo; they are moving in their minds from independence to dependence. Hence the kicking and screaming.
Knowing this, many parents hide trouble signs from their children. Couple such behavior with the fact that many children are themselves pressed for time and unprepared to take responsibility for their parents, and the entire situation is fraught with peril. Early on, children often ignore danger signs or delude themselves into thinking that their parents can still make good decisions. (For related reading, see Talking To Aging Parents About Money.)
I know an attorney whose 92-year-old mother enjoyed sending out $15 and $20 checks to play sweepstakes. Soon, the mother became obsessed with winning so she could leave a large legacy to her sons. It didn't take long before a woman who had run an investment club, golfed into her 80s and taken Spanish lessons in her 90s was doing nothing but playing sweepstakes. Since her phone number was on her checks, she started receiving phone calls from scam artists and eventually was "caught" by her kids taking a cab to the bank to send $2,000 to a "nice fellow named John in Seattle" who supposedly had an even larger check waiting for her.
The cab ride became the wakeup call for the woman's family. My friend talked to his mother at length about her sweepstakes obsession and finally confiscated her checkbook, took over her bank accounts and had her mail diverted to his own home. With no sweepstakes offers arriving at his mom's house, she slowly returned to her community activities. For my friend, who'd ignored signs along the way and let the situation reach the breaking point before intervening, the solution required months of effort.
At least he'd had the power of attorney that enabled him to act and had his mother in a good assisted living facility. Imagine the difficulties when none of this is in place. Being proactive early on, rather than reactive after problems arrive, provides adult children with the tools to intervene effectively. Here are some important proactive steps to make sure you and your family are prepared:
- Establish a financial power of attorney. If your parent has concerns about losing control, consider a "springing" power that goes into effect only after the parent is unwilling, or unable, to make financial decisions alone.
- Add a durable power of attorney for healthcare to the estate plan. Be sure to discuss with your parent and family what medical treatment is, and is not, desired.
- Consider working with a financial advisor who specializes in multigenerational planning. This can help you balance the needs of parents for elder care, your own children for college and you for retirement. Aging parents may also be more apt to cooperate after receiving advice from an outside expert.
- Keep on hand updated lists of parents' medications. This is especially helpful in tracking drug interactions when parents use multiple doctors.
- Add a family member to your parents' safe deposit box and keep track of the key.
- Review long-term care policies and consider in advance ways to fund additional care if it becomes necessary.
- Talk with parents and siblings about the types of care that are available and when it would be wise to move. This helps prepare everyone mentally for big life changes.
It's impossible to pinpoint when any one family will have to take action on behalf of an aging parent, but it's important for grown children to keep in mind that their parents may downplay or hide signs that they're struggling to remain independent. Here are some early warning signs:
- A parent stops participating in activities and becomes isolated.
- His or her routine changes, often with a shift from cooking to eating packaged foods.
- He or she shows signs of poor judgment in managing money and becomes susceptible to fraud.
- His or her support system changes, with people who used to help having moved elsewhere or passed away.
- The parent becomes forgetful.
For many adult children, becoming a member of the sandwich generation involves taking care of elderly parents precisely at the time in their lives when they're faced with the challenges of getting their own children safely through their teenage years. To minimize the tribulations of this difficult time in life, it is critical to prepare early and have plans in place to take action if and when it becomes necessary. The alternative is to face the risk of a major family crisis right around the time you're taking the car keys from your parents and giving them to your teenager.

Clinique Laboratories, LLC and Allergan, Inc. announced a strategic collaboration to create a new skin care line, which will incorporate the Clinique brand name. The partnership will, according to a press release, combine Clinique's product development and formulation strengths with Allergan's experience in the medical aesthetics market to offer clinically proven skin care products to complement in-office aesthetic procedures. It will be sold exclusively in physicians' offices in the United States and is expected to launch in the fall of 2008.
"Clinique's promise to our consumers has always been to create dermatologist guided, allergy tested, 100% fragrance free products that address skin care needs. Today we are entering a new phase of our relationship with the medical community," said Lynne Greene, global president, Clinique Laboratories. "By joining forces with Allergan, the number one medical aesthetics company, we are now able to service consumers who are under the care of a physician with this completely new class of products."
"In collaboration with Clinique, our goal is to establish a leadership position in physician-dispensed skin care by offering a one-stop approach to specialized skin care products under a brand name that is trusted by consumers and backed by science on which physicians can rely," said David E.I. Pyott, chairman of the board and CEO, Allergan. "The collaboration combines Allergan's leadership in medical aesthetics and our deep understanding of the physician channel based on our Total Facial Rejuvenation portfolio—including BOTOX Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM and our skin care product line—with Clinique's history of formulating leading consumer skin care products guided by dermatologists. Together with our complementary strengths, we expect Clinique and Allergan to grow this market."
As part of the agreement, Clinique will be responsible for formulating, developing and manufacturing the new product line. Clinique will sell products to Allergan while Allergan will record sales to physicians and handle consumer and professional marketing and distribution. The agreement with Clinique will allow Allergan to expand the size of its current sales force dedicated to physician-dispensed skin care. Clinique and Allergan may also conduct clinical trials and work with the physician community to ensure the success of the new skin care line.
"Clinique's rich dermatological heritage dates back 40 years," said William P. Lauder, president and CEO, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., Clinique's parent "This new skin care line, created in collaboration with Allergan, is the next generation of the expression of Clinique's unique position delivered through one of the fastest growing channels today, physicians' offices."

text: Warehouse storage services vary widely from one company to another. To find a storage service that meets your business needs, you'll need to narrow down your options.1. Make a list of the storage warehouse services that are most important to you.2. Search for facilities in the area you would like your merchandise stored.3. Narrow your options by looking closely at what each warehouse storage business offers.If fast delivery is your main goal, find a warehouse storage business that offers fast shipping. Look for 24-hour turnaround times. Check each facility's inventory control methods. Find a company with assembly, shipping, receiving and docking options that work with your business. Get warehouse storage quotes Getting quotes is a good first step in finding warehouse storage solutions for your business. Ask for quotes that include the services you need such as shipping, order fulfillment, docking capabilities, facility management, assembly, packing and more. Find warehouse facilities with assembly options If you have a product that requires assembly before delivery, find a warehouse storage service that will provide assembly and kitting. Use a warehouse storage service with inventory capabilities Keep your business running smoothly by incorporating your inventory records right through the warehouse storage service you choose to use. Warehouse storage and services for foreign trade If your company does a lot of business overseas, it makes sense to utilize a warehouse to meet your foreign trade zone needs. Centrally located warehousing When fast shipping is your top priority, find warehouse locations that offer a centralized location and fast shipping capabilities. Warehousing for special products Find warehouse storage services for special products such as cold food or hazardous materials. Not all warehouse facilities have the capabilities to handle these products. Look for warehousing services that can process your orders within 24 hours. Ask for references. Most warehouse storage facilities will provide you with a list of current or prior tenants you can contact before making your decision.

George Orwell
The appendix to 1984 is Orwell's explanation of Oceania's official language, Newspeak, of which there are many examples throughout the text, such as doublethink and duckspeak, and discusses the purpose for its conception.
Newspeak consists of the A vocabulary, the B vocabulary, and the C vocabulary. The A vocabulary consists of words needed for everyday life and words that already exist but have been stripped of all shades of meaning.
The B vocabulary consists of words that have been deliberately constructed for political purposes and are a kind of verbal shorthand; all are compound words, such as goodthink.
The C vocabulary consists entirely of scientific and technical words and follows the same grammatical rules as the A and B vocabularies.
Newspeak was designed to diminish thought rather than help expression, as is the goal of other languages. Again unlike other languages, Newspeak regularly loses words instead of gains them.
Newspeak is a brilliant device on Orwell's part and serves his political agenda well: If a government can control language, it can also control thought. If there is no word for the concept of freedom, how can a person think about freedom? By limiting language, the people who speak that language are limited to what concepts exist in words.
Orwell was convinced that language deteriorated under totalitarian rule and that literature was impossible under totalitarian circumstances. As a writer, Orwell was concerned with the state of language in the world and wrote essays on the effect of governments on writers and writing. Newspeak stems naturally out of Orwell's ideas about language and governmental control.
Orwell predicted that Newspeak would be perfected in the year 2050, perhaps because he wanted to keep the fear of totalitarianism alive in his readers past the year 1984. Orwell was a visionary, predicting many things that eventually came to pass. Thankfully Newspeak is not one of them.

Rihanna Would NOT Accept an Invitation to Taylor Swift's Stage

The 'American Oxygen' singer said a collision of their brands and audiences wouldn't make sense.
Kanye spotted Rihanna in the pit, and invited her to join in on the performance.
Take look back at Rihanna's best looks and put together a series of her most memorable ensembles.
She'll help out Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani during Season 9.
Katy's not too amused by Taylor's tweets to Nicki Minaj — and she's calling her out.
It's the final round. Who will reign supreme: Gaga or RiRi?
RiRi by Rihanna may just bring out your inner-Carrington.
If we were famous artists, we would have it written into our contracts that Kelly Clarkson were legally barred from ever performing a cover of any of our songs,
Before Rihanna, Miss Piggy was the baddest on the block. So it only seems fitting for her to take on Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money."
RiRi's 'R8' has yet to materialize, but now your calves will be warm and stylish while you wait for her album.

Kelly Clarkson Reveals Who Will Be Her Maid of Honor
With her fall wedding fast approaching, Kelly Clarkson has announced who will be her bestie on her big day.
With her fall wedding fast approaching, Kelly Clarkson has announced who will be her bestie on her big day.
Do you really know who you're related to? Sure, we know our parents, grandparents, and maybe our great-grandparents. But do you know much about your family before that? If you're lucky you may have a great historian in your family that has been keeping track. If not, there is a great opportunity to dig into your past to uncover your roots.
Season 4 of TLC's genealogy documentary series 'Who Do You Think You Are?' premiered on Tuesday (July 23), and Kelly Clarkson learned that she's related to a Civil War hero.
Kelly Clarkson can absolutely do no wrong and her awesomeness knows no bounds. Her most recent exploration into amazing comes to us in the form of a cover of the Mumford & Sons' song 'I Will Wait' at her concert stop in Chicago.
Miss Independent is one step closer to tying the knot.
Kelly Clarkson and fiance Brandon Blackstock, who got engaged in Decemeber, have a wedding date.
It was recently revealed that the folks behind 'American Idol' were planning to wipe their entire judges table clean and start anew admist plummeting ratings. But with the series at a personal all-time low, could a past 'Idol' standout reinvigorate it? It's been revealed that former contestant and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson has signed on as judge for the next season.
Kelly Clarkson is an American original, and not just because she was the Season 1 winner of 'American Idol.' The girl doesn't care about anything but belting out songs and as a result, she is super cute and without an ounce of pretense. She returned to the stage that launched her career on last night's (April 11) results episode. She performed her new single, the rockin', uptempo 'People Like Us.' She also wasn't shy about being an uber fan girl for Mariah Carey.
Yesterday (Feb. 19), Kelly Clarkson went on the internet to clear up some stories music legend Clive Davis told about her in his memoir, 'The Soundtrack of My Life.' Specifically, that she's a sobbing mess who doesn't know anything about anything, but especially about music.
Kelly Clarkson took the stage at the 2013 Grammys, dressed in black, singing a soulful and heartfelt medley of 'Tennessee Waltz' and 'You Make Feel (Like a Natural Woman.)'
An ecstatic Kelly Clarkson won the 2013 Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album for 'Stronger' and could not contain her enthusiasm after hearing her name called.
Kelly Clarkson has finally found her Prince Charming and he's a total pair of Wranglers. Wait, what? Clarkson explained to PEOPLE Magazine, "I was dating skinny jeans and I needed Wranglers." No more pretty boy jerk types for the 'Stronger' songstress, she's found her genuine nice guy in her soon-to-be husband Brandon Blackstock.

The UN Needs a Revamp, and Israel Should Be Involved
The United Nations, which is celebrating its birthday this week, has had the same structure since 1945: It's time for an overhaul.
Close to 15 Israeli ambassadors gathered in Jerusalem last week for lectures and discussions. In the view of the Foreign Ministry, this group is the diplomatic A-list; not necessarily the diplomats themselves, but the countries in which they serve. In the past, these places were called "the core countries." However, the term insulted the countries left off the list, or at...

Hello World! I am Jacob Haug. And no — I will NOT fix your computer. But, I will fix you! If the problem is between the keyboard and the computer, I'm your man! And, I won't laugh.

My name is Jacob Haug. People who know me, describe me as a tornado. My mind is always whirling with ideas and projects. I have volumes of pent up energy that sometimes just rises to the top and erupts like a volcano, resulting in lots of sleepless nights spent solving web problems or finishing up an application. Can I be both a tornado and a...

I am Jacob Haug, double-naught spy, and part-time brain surgeon. You don't believe me? Well, think of it this way. Website and application development both require a bit of "sleuthing." You have to determine what went wrong, and what to do to protect yourself so that you are less vulnerable in the future. It is a "spy game" of sorts. And once you have spied the problem, you have to treat the injury. You may just be able to patch, or there may be irreparable brain damage if you don't do some major surgery on the system. So, just call me Dr J. I'll share with you the "conditions" I am currently trying to cure, and help you avoid some of the things that have made me "sick" in the past.Read More

One of the most striking features of mathematics is the fact that we are much more certain about the mathematical knowledge we have than about what mathematical knowledge is knowledge of. Are numbers, sets, functions and groups physical entities of some kind? Are they objectively existing objects in some non-physical, mathematical realm? Are they ideas that are present only in the mind? Or do mathematical truths not involve referents of any kind? It is these kinds of questions that have encouraged philosophers and mathematicians alike to focus their attention on issues in the philosophy of mathematics. Over the centuries a number of reasonably well-defined positions about the nature of mathematics have been developed and it is these positions (both historical and current) that are surveyed in the current volume. Traditional theories (Platonism, Aristotelianism, Kantianism), as well as dominant modern theories (logicism, formalism, constructivism, fictionalism, etc.), are all analyzed and evaluated. Leading-edge research in related fields (set theory, computability theory, probability theory, paraconsistency) is also discussed. The result is a handbook that not only provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments but that also serves as an indispensable resource for anyone wanting to learn about current developments in the philosophy of mathematics.View full description
