Facebook toys with the emotions of users in the name of science
updated 02:30 pm EDT, Sun June 29, 2014
Psychological study in 2012 altered users' news feeds for positive or negative mental states
In a study to see if emotional states could be transferred to others online, Facebook conducted a psychological experiment in January 2012 with its users as guinea pigs. According a research paper published this month, feeds from over 689,000 English-language accounts were altered for either positive or negative states for one week to see if there was an impact on mental states.
In the study, which was led by Facebook data "scientist" Adam Kramer, algorithms were used to remove postings from a user's news feed for either a positive or negative influence based on keywords that were filtered out. By using a machine to filter the words, the researchers could avoid reading any posts or other information that could fall under protection from privacy settings.
Both negative and positive experiments were carried out in parallel, with a 10 to 90 percent chance of information being filtered out for a username selected. The study said that while the news feed was altered, all of the information it filtered out could be accessed on the friend's feed or timeline. Content of direct messages was not affected.
Words were selected for filtering by Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count software. Control samples were done with random omissions without consideration for emotional context, as well as others to balance the disparity between the 22.4 percent of posts with negative words and 46.8 percent with positive words. The paper states that over three million posts were analyzed in the experiment.
Facebook stands behind the ability to manipulate users feeds based on a single line in its terms of service that every user must agree to. In the paper, the researchers point to the line in Facebook's Data Use Policy. According to Facebook's page on information privacy, data can be used "for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and service improvement.
"As such, it was consistent with Facebook's Data Use Policy, to which all users agree prior to creating an account on Facebook, constituting informed consent for this research," states the paper.
This raises concern for privacy issues, especially when the results of the study are considered. Those using Facebook have consented to data manipulation based on the idea that the social media company could be using the data to improve its services or research projects. Since the data of the study, using a large data sample, proves that social media can manipulate one aspect of a person by controlling information, it can be said that the flow of information has a profound effect on emotional states or thought patterns.
While data can be changed to alter emotions, it's important to see that there is a larger impact at hand; what is said on the Internet does affect others. The study found that emotional contagion could occur without the need to have a face-to-face interaction or witness nonverbal cues. In fact, the context of text alone is sufficient enough to invoke the emotional shift.
A withdrawal effect was also noticed during the course of the study, meaning that those seeing fewer emotional posts showed less expressiveness in the days after. Results indicate that the people seeing more positive items in their news feeds posted more positive words, while those seeing more negative items posted more negative words in turn.
"These results indicate that emotions expressed by others on Facebook influence our own emotions, constituting experimental evidence for massive-scale contagion via social networks," states the paper. "This work also suggests that, in contrast to prevailing assumptions, in-person interaction and nonverbal cues are not strictly necessary for emotional contagion, and that the observation of others' positive experiences constitutes a positive experience for people."
The paper on the study can be found at the Proceedings of the Natation Academy of Sciences website.

This is a traditional Rajasthani recipe that we discovered is an excellent source of protein, iron, folic acid and fibre. Its creamy consistency and mild flavours make it a good recipe to have especially in the preconception period and first trimester. But i'm sure you will enjoy it all through your pregnancy. You can even perk up this khichdi by adding some spices to it and maybe even throw in some vegetables. Serve it with curds raita or a kadhi and you have a completely balanced meal ready.

text: Enter the Uncanny Valley with Animated Giorgio Tsoukalos By Matt Staggs on October 25, 2012 in News 4 There's already something endearingly cartoon-like about Ancient Aliens star Giorgio Tsoukalos: his hair alone has launched a thousand memes, to say nothing of some of his Cosmic Love God fashion sense and compulsive quotability. (To his great credit, Giorgio is very much aware of his internet-fame and has a wonderful attitude about it. When I met him two separate kids approached and asked if he "was the guy from the memes." Giorgio responded with a friendly smile and struck this pose long enough for each of them to snap a photo.) Well, anyway, now Tsoukalos isn't just cartoon-like, thanks to the efforts of one animator. Check out this (admittedly creepy) animated take on Giorgio. (It seems to be a one-off effort, but I wouldn't mind seeing a Tsoukalos & Pals cartoon in my local television listings....)

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Wisconsin state Assembly is preparing to vote on Gov. Scott Walker's $100 million property tax cut proposal.
The measure is racing through the legislative process. Walker introduced it a week ago and on Tuesday the Senate passed it with bipartisan support on a 28-7 vote. It's expected to also find broad support in the Assembly.
Democrats have complained that the measure is more of a political ploy by Walker to help his re-election efforts next year than anything that will substantially help taxpayers. The cut will reduce the typical homeowner's property tax bill by $13 this year and $20 next year.
Republican backers say every little bit helps and the money should be returned to taxpayers.

The storm was upgraded from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane Saturday evening, with sustained maximum winds near 75 mph. It was expected to strengthen even further as its outer bands started lashing the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao overnight. All three islands were under a hurricane watch. Tropical Storm Henriette, meanwhile, was moving out to sea after dumping rain on Mexico's Pacific coastline. In Acapulco, the storm loosened a boulder that smashed into a home, killing three people. A teenager and her two brothers were also killed when a landslide slammed into their house in a poor neighborhood of the glitzy resort. Felix swept over Grenada on Saturday, knocking local radio and TV stations out of service and toppling utility lines. No injuries were immediately reported, but the storm ripped roofs off at least two homes and a popular concert venue was demolished. Orchards were left in ruin. Jess Charles, 29, said he and his family waited out the storm in their house in the town of Calliste, listening to its howling winds. "It was really very, very scary. The wind was blowing so hard we thought our roof might come off," Charles told The Associated Press. Felix became the sixth named storm of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season early Saturday, spawning thunderstorms and downing trees in Barbados, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago. The Caribbean islands reported only minor damage. At 11 p.m. EDT, Felix was centered about 100 miles east-northeast of Bonaire and 210 miles east of Aruba and was moving westward at about 18 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Forecasters said satellite loops show the storm is steadily expanding in size. In Aruba, residents stocked up on groceries, flashlights and window-reinforcements. Tourists crowded the airport to catch flights out before the storm arrived. A long line of customers snaked through the Wema Home and Hardware Center in Aruba's capital, which was doing a brisk business selling plywood and boards as jittery residents and employees of gleaming tourist hotels prepared to safeguard windows and doors. "This kind of weather doesn't usually make it to Aruba, so people are definitely worried," said store cashier Mark Werleman. A tropical storm watch was also issued for Jamaica, further to the west. The storm was predicted to skirt Jamaica and the coast of Honduras and possibly make landfall in Belize sometime on Wednesday before crossing Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. Rebecca Waddington, a meteorologist at the hurricane center, advised employees of oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico to monitor Felix's progress. She said the storm could enter the area in four to five days. With maximum sustained winds of 65 mph, Tropical Storm Henriette was expected to become a hurricane by Sunday, but forecasters put it on a path that did not threaten land until Thursday, when it could hit a remote section of the Baja California peninsula.

WMA: Stream Properties Object (WAVEFORMATEX)

Hi everyone and first of all: sorry for my English!
I'm currently writing an extraction tool for a german game that uses .xwb-files (Microsoft XACT Wavebanks). There
are already quite a lot of xwb extraction tools, but most of them only work for older games, because Microsoft
changes the file format from time to time. So "old" extraction tools won't work with "new" xwbs.
xwb files can contain a collection of waves (pcm, adpcm, wma or xma). Unfortunately, there is currently no tool
that's able to extract wma data from "newer" xwb files... therefor I'm writing my tool, trying to extract the .xwb to valid .wma files.
Extracting the wma DATA is quite easy and I'm able to transform them to a ASF DATA OBJECT (probably you know: wma is actually ASF
(roughly spoken). And a valid .wma file consists of at least 5 objects:Header Object, File Properties Object, Stream Properties
Object, Header Extension Object and Data Object).
My problem is the Stream Properties Object which contains a WAVEFORMATEX structure. Appended to the WAVEFORMATEX
structure is a "Code Specific Data Section" for WMA (which is not described in the ASF Specification):
dwSamplesPerBlock DWORD
wEncodeOptions WORD
dwSuperBlockAlign DWORD
Unfortunately I've no idea how to determine the values for these fields (especially the wEncodeOptions).
So I'd really, really appreciate, if someone could give me a hint about this WMA-Code specific data section...
Thanks a lot!

If it helps virtually all WMA files in existence define use_exp_vlc = use_bit_reservoir = use_variable_block_len = 1. Knowing that, the sample rate, bits per sample, etc you might be able to track down the resulting bytes in the source bitstream.

I had managed to locate a damaged RHD bare front Clip for my conversion. I would recommend anyone planning to do this conversion to buy a complete front clip as I've had a lot of trouble locating specific RHD components. especially the small interior parts.
I then went about fabricating some fixtures from the RHD clip to ensure once I cut & removed them I would be able to replicate the exact positions in my car to ensure everything would fit as per OEM. (as much as possible anyway)

Annual Appeal: Please make a donation (tax deductible in USA) to keep the OEIS running. Over 4500 articles have referenced us, often saying "we would not have discovered this result without the OEIS".
This is different from A080575 and A178867.
T[n,m]=count of set partitions of n with block lengths given by the m-th partition of n.
From Tilman Neumann, Oct 05 2008: (Start)
These are also the coefficients occurring in complete Bell polynomials, Faa di Bruno's formula (in its simplest form) and computation of moments from cumulants.
Though the Bell polynomials seem quite unwieldy, they can be computed easily as the determinant of an n-dimensional square matrix. (See, e.g., [Coffey] and program below.)
The complete Bell polynomial of the first n primes gives A007446.
A relation between partition polynomials formed from these "refined" Stirling numbers of the second kind and umbral operator trees and Lagrange inversion is presented in the link "Lagrange a la Lah".
For simple diagrams of the relation between connected graphs, cumulants, and A036040 see the references on statistical physics below. In some sense, these graphs are duals of the umbral bouquets presented in "Lagrange a la Lah". - Tom Copeland, Apr 29 2011

E.g.f.: A(t) = exp(sum(x[k]*(t^k)/k!,k=1..infinity)).
T(n,m) is the coefficient of ((t^n)/n!)* x[1]^e(m,1)*x[2]^e(m,2)*...*x[n]^e(m,n) in A(t). Here the m-th partition of n, counted in Abramowitz-Stegun(A-St) order, is [1^e(m,1), 2^e(m,2), ..., n^e(m,n)] with e(m,j)>=0 and if e(m, j)=0 then j^0 is not recorded.
a(n, m) = n!/product((j!^e(m,j))*e(m,j)!,j=1..n ), with [1^e(m,1),2^e(m,2), ...,n^e(m, n)] the m-th partition of n in the mentioned A-St order.
With the notation in the Lang reference, x(1) treated as a variable and D the derivative w.r.t. x(1), a raising operator for the polynomial S(n,x(1)) = P3_n(x[1],...,x[n]) is R = sum(n=0,1,...) x(n+1) D^n / n! ; i.e., R S(n,x(1)) = S(n+1,x(1)). The lowering operator is D ; i.e., D S(n,x(1)) = n S(n-1,x(1)). The sequence of polynomials is an Appell sequence, so [S(.,x(1))+y]^n = S(n,x(1)+y). For x(j) = (-1)^(j-1) (j-1)! for j>1, S(n,x(1)) = [x(1)-1]^n + n [x(1)-1]^(n-1). - Tom Copeland, Aug 01 2008
Raising and lowering operators are given for the partition polynomials formed from A036040 in the link in "Lagrange a la Lah Part I" on page 22. - Tom Copeland, Sep 18 2011
The n-th row is generated by the determinant of [sum(k=0,..,n-1 x_(k+1)*(dP_n)^k/k!) - S_n], where dP_n is the n X n sub-matrix of A132440 and S_n is the n X n sub-matrix of A129185. The coefficients are flagged by the partitions of n represented by the monomials in the indeterminates x_k. Letting all x_n = t, generates the Bell / Touchard / exponential polynomials of A008277. - Tom Copeland, May 03 2014

The wife of evangelist Oral Roberts has died in a California hospital after suffering a head injury during a fall. Evelyn Roberts was 88.
A spokesman for Tulsa-based Oral Roberts University says Roberts fell in the parking lot of a dentist's office Tuesday, striking her head on the pavement and causing massive internal bleeding. She lapsed into a coma a short time later.
The couple's surviving children, Richard Roberts, the university's president, and Roberta Roberts Potts flew to Newport Beach, California, Wednesday to be with their mother and father.
Oral and Evelyn Roberts married more than 66 years ago, and she worked with her husband to build his television ministry and university.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - State officials say the number of firearm training certificates issued to residents who wish to carry a concealed gun jumped to its highest number in a decade in the month of January.
The Courier-Journal reports the issued certificates spiked from 4,355 in December to 12,685 in January.
The Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice training says the number declined to 8,677 in February, but it was still at least double that of any month last year, aside from December. The training is required to receive a concealed carry license, which allows Kentuckians to carry a weapon out of sight under their clothing in public.
Kenneth Betts, a Louisville police officer who conducts courses, says gun ranges in Kentucky are jammed with students and even bullets are in short supply.

The global ammunition market has seen considerable growth during the past decade due to the recent conflicts which has served as a growth factor for the ammunition industry. Army modernization programs by developed and developing nations alike are expected to drive the market. Moreover, the need to maintain professional armies and the training imparted in doing so, has led to the growth in demand for training ammunitions. Similarly, the development in technology and the need to reduce collateral damage and prevent civilian casualties in war has led to an increase in demand for sophisticated precision guided munitions.
However, the end of conflict and withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the austerity measures undertaken by the west, troop size reduction by many western powers and their increased reliance on simulators to train their troops means that the ammunition market is set to stay relatively stable in value terms. Thus the Global Ammunition Market is estimated to be $8.43 billion in 2012 and is expected to register a CARC of 0.67% to reach $8.15 billion by 2017.
On the other hand, the cost involved in maintaining and running a product line in a profitable way all the while investing in new technology, maintaining a skilled workforce and meeting varying customer demands and expectations while improving overall design and quality of the ammunition is expected to be a major challenge.
Defense budget cuts in most of the western countries are anticipated to have an impact on the ammunition market, while industries from the west would be in constant lookout for other markets to offset the decrease in demand in their home market. It is further leading industries to a second wave of consolidation. Moreover, the need for efficiency especially in this time of austerity has made governments to embrace privatization and public-private partnership initiatives.
The industry is fragmented, as most of the countries try to maintain their own ammunition manufacturing capability as they view this as one of the important sectors which helps them maintain strategic autonomy in decision making. However the recent trends in the market is expected to lead an increased activity in terms of merger and acquisition, technology transfer, joint development and production and partnership agreements between western and other developing nations.

Indianapolis Indians logo
- Filed Under
Another ninth-inning rally by the Indianapolis Indians fell short Thursday night, and now time is running out on their season.
The visiting Tribe scored three runs in the final inning but lost 6-5 to the Durham Bulls in Game 2 of their International League playoff series. Game 3 is at 7:05 p.m. Friday at Victory Field.
Durham leads the best-of-five series 2-0 after winning Game 1 2-0 Wednesday night. The Indians loaded the bases in the ninth inning of that game but could not score. ...

No, not at all. All your sorrows have been dealt with in your past lives. In this life, you can be happy.
The habit of worry is difficult to shake off. First people are worried about getting married, then about having kids, then about the children's admission, then they have to perform well academically, then they should get a job... so if worry becomes a habit, then a person will keep worrying.
India has not yet lost family values, and it is our responsibility to maintain them.
I thought you already came home! This is your home. Wherever you go, that is your office. You get rest at home, work at office. If you are tired from work, then you come here to rest.
Keep this question with yourself – from time to time, the Divine will take the appropriate gift from you.
Human values. Indian youth can bring human values to the world. India has a very charming personality, and this should be projected properly.
Without knowledge, there is suffering in love too. Despite knowledge, if there is suffering, then accept it. That is the nature of love.
Both! A little here, and a little there.
Good! Explain to them, convince them. But if you're in the middle of education, complete it before you come here. Don't leave it halfway.
They tried to keep 'I' and 'U' far apart– but could not succeed. It's only on paper. Actually, we are very close. Do you think anyone has the power to keep you and me away? Why do you give someone that power? No way!
Sing, observe nature, and observe your thoughts. Look at nature as though you are looking at it for the first time – look at the trees, and look at the birds.
Forgive them! Forgive them once, twice, thrice, four times. Then bark. If that doesn't work, walk out.
In style, and fashion, no statement is required. No statement is made in fashion. Fashion is just appearance. But anything you do, do it with style!
If nature were a dead phenomenon, you could predict it, the way a machine is always predictable. But it is alive, so you can't predict its behavior.
It is Karma that is being predicted. It is possible to change that as well. This is called 'upaya' (solution).
t's okay, give your 99 percent. If you can't do that either, then give your 90 percent. That is also okay.
Have you travelled by bus on a long journey? Have you then been required to answer nature's call? Did the bus stop? When you got down and relieved yourself, how did it feel?
The learning process stops because you watch too much television. This reduces brain activity.
You too can make a beautiful picture! The first time you try, you may not, but at your tenth attempt, you will.
What is called sadhana for yogis is aradhana for devotees. The only difference is in the language usage.
If something good happens to them, it won't last. For some time, they might believe that their deceit got them ahead, but it won't last. "Satyameva Jayate" – truth always triumphs.
Your own mind creates heaven, and hell. Don't listen to preachers who tell you that you will be toasted, and fried. They are in total ignorance. They misquote the scriptures. There is no such hell. Don't worry and be free!
Yes, yes. Do only as much as you can do. In the Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishna says to Arjuna: "Practice as much as possible, and if you can't, then do my work. If you can't do that, then feel that you are one with Me. Then drop the fruits of your actions, and relax."

The line wrapped halfway around the Independence Events Center as eager Missouri Mavericks fans waited for the man of the hour.
The line wrapped halfway around the Independence Events Center as eager Missouri Mavericks fans waited for the man of the hour.
Rookie goaltender Mike Clemente, who turned in his first Mavericks shutout on New Year's Eve – downing Tulsa 1-0 at the IEC – was the postgame autograph guest Friday night following a dramatic 49-save, 4-2 victory over rival Wichita before a sold-out crowd of 5,800.
As the last few fans in line saw Clemente approach the autograph table, they began to applaud. Soon, applause filled the Events Center concourse as Clemente grinned and took a seat at the table.
"This is amazing," said Clemente, who faced a team-record 25 shots in the second period alone (giving up one power-play goal). "It's the first time we've beat Wichita this year, but we came close the last two times we faced them (losing in overtime each game).
"Our fans deserve this one. The guys did a great job helping me out and this is a great way to start a big weekend."
The win gives the 17-11-4 Mavericks 38 points. They are a point behind third-place Denver (18-12-3), who lost 5-3 at Quad City Friday night. If the Mavericks can beat the Cutthroats at 7:05 p.m. Saturday at the IEC, they will jump into third place.
"We have the chance to have a four-point weekend," Mavericks coach Scott Hillman said after Clemente's play helped the team claim a win despite a 21-8 minute difference in penalty minutes.
"The second period was amazing, just amazing," Hillman said. "They're basically on the power play nine consecutive minutes and the boys find a way to allow just one goal.
"I don't even know what to say about Clemer any more. Tonight, it was Clemente, Clemente, Clemente. He's making saves on his back, he's making body saves, pad saves, glove saves – and the boys are throwing their bodies in front of shots too.
"That's what a team does when it wants to do everything possible to help the goalie. There is a great deal of mutual respect between Clemer and the boys. They know what he means to us right now. He means everything to this team."
The win gave Clemente a 14-4-3 overall record and allowed him to pass Wichita's Kevin Regan for the most wins in the league. They entered the game with 13 wins each.
"I've never seen anything like Clemer in that second period," said injured defenseman David Simoes, who watched the game from the press box. "He made stops that I didn't believe when I saw them, and I still don't believe them."
It didn't take long for the Mavericks to get going offensively as Colt King scored two minutes into the first period.
Page 2 of 2 - John-Scott Dickson added a goal to give Clemente some breathing room and the Mavericks a 2-0 lead.
But Wichta made it a 2-1 game on RG Flath's power-play goal in the second period. Missouri's Andrew Courtney was called for boarding and a game misconduct, yet the Mavericks kept Wichita off the scoreboard during a five-minute penalty kill.
"Everyone contributed tonight," said CHL scoring leader Sebastien Thinel, who had a third-period goal to give him 51 points this season. "It sucks that we haven't played better against Wichita this season (1-3-2).
"But we finally beat them and gave our fans a reason to smile. We will all feel good, feel energized going into tomorrow's game against Denver.
When asked if Clemente would again be in the net, Hillman smiled and said, "He keeps telling me, 'Coach, I'm 22! I'm young! Keep me in there.' So yes, he will be in the net."
Kenton Miller scored the Mavericks' final goal with four minutes left in the game.

[0001] Merchants, as part of their business strategy of keeping customers and fostering customer loyalty, make contributions to local charities based on the specific needs of their customers as a percentage of sales to those customers. This charitable contribution is made possible by the merchant selling to the charity bearer certificates for redemption at the merchant's store for the merchant's goods. These bearer certificates are sold at a discount from the face value to the charity. The charity in turn sells those bearer certificates to its benefactors at full face value. The benefactors then use the bearer certificates at that specific merchant that issued the certificates.
[0002] This approach to raising charitable funds involves fund raisers' effort and has effort and inconveniences on the part of others built into it. For example, the benefactors have to buy these bearer certificates in bulk by paying cash to the charity and thus laying out funds in advance. The charity acts as a middle man and has to find and convince benefactors to buy these certificates to help the charity. The merchant has to print the bearer charity certificates and track them from selling to charity to until they are cashed by the benefactor.
[0003] An objective of the present invention is to eliminate the charity's role as a middle man in buying certificates from the merchant and selling them to the benefactor.
[0004] Another objective is to eliminate a benefactor's need to buy the certificates in advance and shell out large cash in advance.
[0005] Yet another objective is to eliminate the merchant's effort in having to print, sell and redeem and thus track the certificates.
[0006] Yet another objective is to enable those charities that do not participate in this approach of fund raising to participate in this approach by eliminating the effort on the charity's part of buying and selling charity certificates of a merchant.
[0007] Yet another objective is to achieve substantial reduction in effort and cost for the benefactor, the charity and the merchant by automating the system at the local and national level.
[0008] A Universal Charity Card System (UCCS) is described. In UCCS, there is a Universal Charity Card (UCC) which identifies a customer-benefactor and a charity by coded identification. The customer-benefactor is a customer of a merchant and benefactor of the charity. The coded identification may use magnetic encoding means or bar-coding means. If bar-code is used, it is preferable, that the customer-benefactor identification code is on one side of the card and the charity identification code is on the other side of the card.
[0009] The UCCS has a merchant computer system of the merchant. This may be an existing computer system used by the merchant for other tasks such as sales/receipt system in which a UCCS merchant software system is built into. The merchant computer system reads the Universal Charity Card's coded identification information via an input peripheral.
[0010] The UCCS merchant software has an interface function to merchant's sales/receipt system transferring coded identification data from the UCC and current total sale to the UCCS merchant software. It also has a function of computing cumulative charitable contribution equal to prior charitable contribution plus a percent of current sale and a function of printing charity name and cumulative charitable contribution on the current sales receipt.
[0011] The UCCS merchant software system also has data storage means in a UCCS merchant database which stores data on the customer-benefactor identification, the charity identification, merchant identification and charitable contribution.
[0012] The UCCS may preferably also have a UCCS central computer system which pre-stores the merchant's bank electronic fund transfer identification and the charity's bank electronic fund transfer identification. The UCCS central computer system links to the merchant computer system for downloading the UCCS merchant database. The central computer system downloads the merchant database and initiates a debit electronic fund transfer to the merchant's bank for an amount equal to the charitable contribution. The central computer system then collates data from different merchants for the same charity and initiates a credit electronic fund transfer to the charity's bank for an amount equal to the total of charitable contributions from different merchants.
[0013] The functions of debiting the merchant's bank and crediting the charity's bank may be performed once a month, or once every three months, or once every six months or once every year depending upon the volume of transactions and or the size of the charitable contributions.
[0014] The UCCS central computer system preferably has an interface function, using internet, enabling a charity to input the charity and customer-benefactor identification data into the central computer system. It also has a function enabling charity's status authentication, a function creating and printing Universal Charity Cards and an accounting statement function generating statements to the merchant, charity and customer-benefactor.
[0015] The central computer system, preferably may have yet another interface function, using internet, enabling a customer-benefactor to input customer-benefactor data and data on multiple charities with percent split among the charities. The customer-benefactor may also input one charity with a specific charitable cause or multiple charitable causes and percent split among the multiple charitable causes of a single charity.
[0016] The interface function of the central computer may utilize internet means or may be via telephone or may be via a person who receives this information and enters the information into the central computer system.
[0017] The UCCS by using a UCC, UCCS merchant software and UCCS central computer software seamlessly and effortlessly facilitates the efforts of the three parties involved, the merchant, the charity and the customer-benefactor.
[0018] These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims and accompanying drawings where:
[0026] A universal charity card system (
[0027] The UCCS merchant computer system (
[0028] With reference to
[0029] The coding on the UCC may be by magnetic means on a magnetic strip on the card (
[0030] With reference to
[0031] The UCCS merchant software also functions of: computing charitable contribution as a percent of current sale and splitting among multiple charities or charitable causes of a single charity(
[0033] With reference to
[0034] A Charity interface function (
[0035] A customer-benefactor interface function (
[0036] A charity status authentication function (
[0037] A merchant setup function (
[0038] An operation execution function (
[0040] The interface functions of the UCCS central computer system and the UCCS central computer software with the charity, the merchant and the customer-benefactor may utilize internet means or may be via telephone either automated or via a person. The internet and telephone technology are existing technologies in widespread use for such interface functions.
[0041] Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail with respect to certain preferred versions thereof, other versions are possible. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the descriptions of the preferred versions contained herein.


text: I have an RB67 with both 65mm and 50mm. For me, 65mm is ideal, it's similar to a 35mm lens on 35mm film which is perfect for my general purpose shots (I always found the 90mm on my RB67 just a little too narrow in field of view). The 50mm is pretty wide, a little too wide for most shots for me, though gives great perspective when you need it. To summarise, both focal lengths are great but I get more use out of 65mm, it's my general purpose lens if I have to take out just one focal length.

St. Petersburg Times: Exhibition opens eyes to pages of Bible history
Posted: Jan. 14, 2006
ST. PETERSBURG - Larry Brewer, a missionary with Campsite Ministries in Hudson, was impressed by the exhibition on the Bible that opened Friday at Florida International Museum.
"When you find out that the first original book was the Bible - that's awesome," he said after a guided tour. Brewer and his wife, Treva, were among a group of clerics invited to see the show, "Ink & Blood: Sacred Treasures of the Bible," on its opening day.
"I'm not sure that people today would sacrifice" to the extent that their ancestors did, said Sherri Bond, attending with her husband, Ellis. He is pastor of First Baptist Church in New Port Richey.

we at JavaRanch have decided to use the Certification Results forum as the forum for all results to be posted.
It would be nice to be able to split up the results forum, or at least require descriptive subject lines. No reason to click on 30 SCJP results posts before finding a SCJD one. Know what I mean?
Mark posted: So maybe we can post the score in Certification Results, and then post a new thread here titled something that say Hey I passed do you have any questions for me.

Grade Range: K-12Resource Type(s): ArtifactsDate Posted: 3/10/2009
To determine volume, weight, temperature, and time, cooks use measuring cups and spoons (for liquids and dry ingredients), thermometers of all sorts for the oven, freezer, or deep-fat fryer; for chocolate, dough, meat, candy, and jelly; scales for liquids and solids; salometers or hydrometers to test the density of a salt or sugar solution; and timers. The well-known cookbook author and television cooking show star Julia Child had a number of the most commonly used American kitchen measuring devices in her kitchen. Now in the collections of the National Museum of American History, Julia's Pyrex glass one- and two- cup measures, are marked in both English measurements (1 cup; 8 oz.) and in metric (250 ml).

I wish the president and Congress would consider the following:
Send an official U.S. diplomatic cable to the heads of all of the countries we are supporting with financial aid with this message:
"As you know we are facing several financial and economic crises here in the United States. Consequently, we must temporarily suspend all financial support to your government in order to save our government from total collapse. When we have restored economic and financial stability here, we will consider resumption of monetary aid to your nation. We appreciate your understanding and acceptance of this action."

IOCS students and staff with Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh, in the early days of the Institute.
The Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies is the Orthodox house of theological studies in the ancient university city of Cambridge, England. It is a full member of the Cambridge Theological Federation and thus an Allied Institution of the University of Cambridge and a Regional Partner of Anglia Ruskin University.
The Institute was founded in 1999 with the blessing of all Orthodox hierarchs in Western Europe. IOCS rejoices in having among its guest lecturers and supporters such illustrious teachers as Metropolitan Kallistos of Diocleia, Metropolitan John Zizioulas, Fr Thomas Hopko, Fr. Prof. Andrew Louth, Archimandrites Symeon and Zacharias of St John the Baptist's Monastery (Essex), and the late Metropolitan Antony of Sourozh.
The Institute serves the Orthodox Church as a whole and is governed by a Board of Directors with representatives from the various Orthodox Churches in Great Britain. There is nothing quite like the Institute elsewhere in the world. Because it is pan-Orthodox, linked to a major international university, and contains both lay and ordained people, the Institute can serve the Orthodox Church in a unique way. Many people were involved in bringing the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies into existance and many others have assisted at various stages of the Institute's development. We are particularly grateful to the Institute's first Principal, Fr John Jillions, and to all those who have offered and continue to offer their time and energy to this growing venture.

This is one of those books I have not yet read. It's on the TBR pile but it is a far ways down the list. Thanks for the great information though. As to the comment above about the Holy Ghost Writer book: That Girl Started Her Own Country, I actually did read that one. It was an impulse buy but all the same, I thought it was a pretty good read. IT definitely fits in with the Thriller crime theme you have going here. You can find it on Amazon or if you want to read more about it before you buy you can read reviews and such on both amazon and goodreads. All in all it was worth my time and money to read.
- CRB, 14 november 2012
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a fantastic thriller. As a matter of interest, if you like crime thrillers that are similar to this book and have the same themes, such as female empowerment and rebellion against the establishment, have a look at this book: "That Girl Started Her Own Country", written by the "Holy Ghost Writer". It is an intelligently-written, thoroughly entertaining page-turner, full of international intrigue and engaging, interesting characters. It has fast action and many plots and twists that keep you guessing. I literally could not put it down. It is available on Amazon, Goodreads and Barnes and Noble. But don't take my word for it - check out all the glowing 5 star reviews, if you still need convincing. I urge you to check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Sunday March 18, 2012Gator Softball Sweeps South Carolina, 7-3, Sunday
Gainesville, Fla.
Gainesville, Fla.
Seven Gators collaborated for 10 hits Sunday, as the No. 4 Florida softball team completed its eighth-straight series sweep over South Carolina with a 7-3 finale at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. A total of 1,218 Gator fans came out to witness UFs 26th straight victory over the Gamecocks (19-12, 2-6 SEC).
In this weekends 19-inning series, Florida allowed just four runs, while scoring 17, and were led by freshman Lauren Haeger (Peoria, Ariz.), who batted .556 with five hits, two doubles, a homer and six RBI through the three-game set.
The Orange and Blue improved to 26-2 overall, 7-1 in league play with Sundays win as Haeger and Sami Fagan (Dunnellon, Fla.) both had multiple-hit performances, Haeger with three hits (3-for-4) and S. Fagan with two (2-for-3). Haeger scored a run and drove three in, while S. Fagan scored three and drove in one herself.
All nine Gator starters reached base during Sundays contest, led by Haegers RBI single in the first inning for UFs first score, a dinger to left field in the third inning, and a RBI double in the sixth inning. In the third stanza, sophomore Cheyenne Coyle (West Hills, Calif.) also went yard right after Haeger, with a freshman Bailey Castro (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) walk sandwiched in between. Coyle drove herself and Castro in as Florida quickly went up, 4-0, after three.
For the 11th tilt this season, the UF lineup collaborated for a double-digit hit performance. Along with Haeger, S. Fagan, Castro and Coyle, three other Gator sluggers connected for a hit, including junior Kelsey Horton (Valrico, Fla.), sophomore Kasey Fagan (Dunnellon, Fla.) and first year Jess Damico (Gray Summit, Mo.).
Florida played stellar defensively, turning a double play in the sixth, while coming up with several clutch defensive plays from Coyle, Damico and Medina in the infield. The Gators took advantage of South Carolina early on with four straight balls that resulted in an S. Fagan walk, and a USC throwing error that put her and Michelle Moultrie (Jacksonville, Fla.) both in scoring position to start the game. On the next play, Haeger singled through the left side to plate S. Fagan for UFs initial score.
The third inning production from the Florida offense was clutch as the Orange and Blue scored three runs off four hits. Haeger started the frame with a two-out solo shot over the left-field fence, quickly followed by a Castro base hit. Coyle tacked on another two runs for the Gators after belting her seventh round-tripper of the year over the left-field wall for two more Gator runs.
The Gamecocks got on the board in the top of the fourth after a Kaela Jackson leadoff single up the middle, while pinch runner Hannah Milks advanced to second on a sac bunt and came home on a Kaitlin Westfall RBI double to narrow the margin, 4-1.
Damico led off the fourth for the Gators with a base hit to turn over the lineup before S. Fagan batted her in with a triple, then proceeded with a score of her own after a Moultrie sac fly for the 6-1 Florida lead. In the bottom of the sixth, S. Fagan doubled to right center before scoring one more time for the Gators on a Haeger double to left field for UFs final seven runs.
South Carolina put up a fight in the seventh after Lauren Lackey connected for a one-out double, enabling an Evan Childs two-run bomb to left center that brought herself and Lackey home for the 7-3 final. Florida sophomore righty Hannah Rogers (Lake Wales, Calif.) fanned Chelsea Hawkins, allowed a Jackson walk, but then popped Dana Hathorn up to get out of the inning for the Gator win.
Freshman hurler Alyssa Bache (Clearwater, Fla.) earned the nod in the circle for the Orange and Blue, working the first 3.0, giving up just two hits and two walks, while retiring three Gamecocks by strikeout before Rogers (14-1) came on in the fourth to finish out the final four frames for the win. Rogers battled it out, but gave up seven USC hits and the Gamecocks three runs. The Gators ace gave up two walks and fanned one.
First year Katelynn Howser (8-3) shouldered the loss for South Carolina in the circle after giving up seven of Floridas 10 hits, five runs and three walks, while fanning just two in two different appearances Sunday. Howser earned the start and worked the first 2.2 before being relieved by Kierstyn White for one and a third, and then coming on again in the fifth for the final 2.0.
Next up, the Gators hit the road for their third SEC road series against Arkansas March 23-25 in Fayetteville. Keep up with Florida by tuning in to WYGC-104.9, 105 The Game, Adam Schick and Megan Bush on the call next weekend. For updated broadcast information, visit GatorZone.com as the series approaches.

1) GSM: Think of general strength and mobility as your insurance policy against injury. No guarantees that you'll be injury free, but if you do the GSM daily, valuing it as much as you value running, you'll be amazed at how much better you feel. What exercises and routines should you be doing? Prior to your run you should be doing the lunge matrix warm-up, which comes from the world of physical therapy, specifically therapist Gary Gray. The lunge matrix warm-up helps you get back to neutral if your hips or posture is out-of-whack, before you run and make it worse. Following your run you'll do a series of GSM exercises that are bundled into routines. We've created an eight-week progression of these GSM routines that you can follow, complete with videos here. The bottom line with GSM work is this: You either did it or you didn't. If you do it, the chance that you'll have a great summer and make The Jump greatly increases.
2) VOLUME: Running more miles (or more minutes) than you did in the previous track and cross country seasons has long been touted as the way to make The Jump. And I agree—rarely do athletes make The Jump without running more than they have in the past. But in this day and age we see more stress fractures and overuse injuries than ever before—athletes even fracturing their femur, the largest bone in the human body—so something's wrong. My view is that as long as the GSM is in the program and as long as there's a logical progression to the mileage buildup the athlete should be able to both run more miles and stay healthy. When increasing your volume, run easy on most of your runs; you have plenty of opportunities to run fast once practice officially starts. Run just once a day to get to the volumes we've laid out; if you're ready for more, then start adding a second run just twice a week. A weekly long run that is 20 percent of your weekly volume—so a 6-mile run if you're running 30 miles a week or a 10-mile run if running 50 miles a week—is also important. Finally, consider taking a day off each week as a day for regeneration and recovery, knowing that you can still hit the progressions we've laid out for you.
3) FARTLEK: If you're not familiar with it, fartlek is simply running a faster pace for a little while, then slowing a bit (but not slowing to a jog) and running aerobically until it's time to run fast again. This Swedish term means "speed-play" and I think it's a tremendously powerful tool for athletes and coaches. Fartlek runs teach athletes to feel threshold running better than an actual threshold run (aka "tempo run") because athletes will undoubtedly go out too hard on the first couple of reps in a summer fartlek, suffering the consequences later in the workout. Sounds harsh, but it's a great way to learn how it feels to be running hard, but within yourself, which is a key in cross country, where you're not going to get splits. I like the simple fartlek of 1 minute at cross country race pace, then 1 minute "steady." One minute at cross country race pace is not hard—your likely be doing between 15 and 20 minutes during the season—so the key is really keeping the "steady" running honest. I love that you can do this workout alone since you go off of effort, and I love that fartlek workouts can be done anywhere (e.g., when on a family vacation).
4) SPECIAL ELEMENT: There's something you need to work on this summer…and I have no clue what it is. OK, Maybe you'll have lots of hills on your state meet course and you need to start practicing now, or maybe you tend to fade mentally after the 2-mile mark and need to learn to concentrate when you're starting to hurt. Or maybe a physical therapist has told you that you have weak hips and a poor core (most high school athletes do) so you simply need to do all of our GSM plus the work they assign. Some athletes need to work on their running mechanics and if your coach will meet you a few times a week (three or four ideally, but two is fine) you can make significant changes in one summer. Whatever you choose, know why you're choosing it and have a plan for implementing it in your training as you make The Jump.
An easy formula to determine your summer mileage
How much more running should you be doing in the summer? Calculate the average weekly volume you ran during the previous track season and make it a goal to get to that volume in week two or three of your summer training. Then take that number, multiply it by 20 percent and add that to your total to get the approximate weekly volume you should be able to reach in the summer. For example, if you were running 50 miles per week during track season, you'll be shooting for 60 (50 x 0.20 = 10 additional miles) by late summer. You can probably reach that number four or five weeks out from the start of school, allowing you to "soak up" a nice month of training at that volume before the rigors of academics begin. Be sure to ramp up gradually and be aware of any aches or pains as you ramp up to that mileage.
The following sequence is a bit more aggressive for younger athletes, then hits the 20 percent recommendation exactly during the transition from junior to senior year:
FRESHMAN 30 miles
SOPHOMORE 40 miles
JUNIOR 50 miles
SENIOR 60 miles
FRESHMAN 25 miles
SOPHOMORE 30–35 miles
JUNIOR 35–45 miles
SENIOR 45–60 miles
Why the lesser volumes for girls? In addition to running, I think young women should be in the weight room and will greatly benefit from doing high-quality lifting twice a week, coupled with daily GSM. I'm not talking "core" or the latest aerobic step class, but serious work such as squats and box jumps. This will increase bone density, increase testosterone and human growth hormone, which will help prevent injury and strengthen the weak abductors and adductors that are problematic for all but a few female athletes.
A final thought for both genders: If you love running, run more. But don't run more at the risk of losing all your athleticism, and don't run more without continuing to make a good portion of that running fast.

So I woke up this morning and noticed that there is a needle or pin prick type sensation in my right foot, at the tip of my fourth toe.
Its not constant, but when I walk, or even if I tap my toe, I can feel this "pin prick" at the very tip of my toe.
Its not a bunch of needles, just like one. Shoot, maybe even a little piece of glass in there or something. I can't see it though...
Any thoughts? Anyone ever get this?
If its still there tomorrow, I will call... someone. Neurologist maybe? Or PM? I think this would be for neuro.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we all get a little disappointed when we get down to that final bite of our favorite chocolate lava cake. Barb Stuckey, author of Taste What Youre Missing: The Passionate Eaters Guide to Why Good Food Tastes Good, says there are ways to get the most from every bite you take.
Mind your chewing. Slower, less goal-oriented eaters get more flavor from the same food than someone who ambitiously attacks it, chews intently and swallows quickly, Stuckey says.
Quit smoking. Tobacco impairs your ability to smell, which in turn impairs your ability to taste. One of the pleasures of a great meal is the warm glow that follows, Stuckey says. Why extinguish it early with the taste and smell of ignited tobacco?
Table it. Teach children to eat only at the table. They will begin to respect the meal as an occasion, Stuckey says. Eating standing up, in the car or while doing other things like watching TV encourages mindless eating, which can have negative health consequences.

i love the skirt, but why the 100% lycra top?!

I think it is really early spring-like and beautiful. I think that the flash of the cameras probably made the shirt more shiny and glaring than it really is.

This outfit is definately off, probably because of the top, but I do commend her on her bold choice. At least it's not boring and the colors go well together
