It has been scientifically proven that Laughter Yoga keeps the blood sugar levels regulated and prevents the progression of diabetes. It lowers blood pressure, relaxes muscles, improves blood circulation, increases oxygen level in the body, elevates mood, brings hope, enhances communication and most notably it boosts the immune system, the master key to good health.
Laughter regulates blood sugar
Increased blood sugar can cause major complications for diabetics. If glucose is not kept in check, diabetics are more at risk for heart disease, kidney disease, and blindness. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body fails to produce enough insulin to control the body's glucose levels, while in type 1, the body stops producing insulin or produces too little to regulate blood sugar.
Keiko Hayashi, of the
How Laughter Yoga Helps
Sedentary lifestyle: Physical inactivity and lack of exercise is related to obesity and rise in sugar levels. Laughter is an exercise which acts on the body and the mind. It has the ability to improve mobility and flexibility. It provides an effective cardio workout and accelerates heart rate faster than other forms of exercise. It provides an effective mid-body and also an aerobic workout that leaves one feeling energized.
Obesity: One of the functions of insulin is to stimulate hunger. Therefore, higher insulin levels lead to increased hunger and eating. Stress and compulsive eating disorders also add to excessive weight gain and heightened sugar levels. Extended hearty laughter has been proved as a tool to regulate blood sugar as it massages the endocrine glands responsible for glucose production.
Mental status: Agitation, unexplained irritability, inattention, extreme lethargy, or confusion can all increase sugar levels. Laughter Yoga is the only exercise that impacts positively and directly on body, mind and emotions. Ten minutes of hearty laughter causes the body to release a cocktail of hormones and neuropeptides that could cost thousands of dollars over the counter. This 'laughter cocktail' has profound influences.
High blood pressure: Any kind of stress and immobility can lead to hypertension. Laughter typically reduces high blood pressure and helps to bring about a sense of well being.
As an exercise, laughter helps to alleviate physical symptoms of irritability, anger and agitation. A hearty laughter can get rid of these emotions and bring a person to normalcy thereby reducing blood sugar levels.
Laughter Yoga is also auto regulatory. It effectively balances hormones, circulation, the lymphatic and the endocrinal system and boosts the immune system, thereby providing a sense of well being and inducing better health

This November, the spotlight will shine on the longest running river on Sumatra: the Musi River as the Musi Triboatton is launched from 26 November to 01 December 2012 in Palembang, capital of the province of South Sumatra.
Combining rafting, canoeing, and traditional boat race, this is a one of a kind event initiated by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy to introduce the splendors of South Sumatra in terms of special interests activities.
Set along the wide Musi River that flows along the city of Palembang, the event will feature almost 500Km of adrenalin rushing races as well as relaxing joyrides. Participating in the Triboatton are 15 teams from many countries including: Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Taiwan, Laos, Indonesia, Australia, Vietnam, New Zealand, Nepal, Cambodja, Myanmar, and the Philippines.
As a professional competition, the event also involves the Executive Board of Indonesia's Rowing Association (PB.PODSI) who manages the competition which is also aimed at improving the quality of rowing athletes.
The Musi River has its source deep in the Bukit Barisan mountains, tumbling down to reach the plains, where, fed by the converging Ogam and Komering rivers, it then widens into a large river as it reaches Palembang. Its many tributaries and streams that cut through Palembang, have caused this town to be also known as 'The Venice of the East'.
The best scenery of the river can be found at the city's iconic landmark, the Ampera Bridge which connects both side of the river. North of the Ampera bridge is the Mesjid Agung or the Royal Mosque, built in 1740 by Sultan Badaruddin I, and recently restored to its former glory. This area was once the capital of a Malay Islamic kingdom which came to an end in 1825, when the last Sultan, Ahmad Najamuddin, surrendered to the Dutch and was exiled to Banda Neira.

Whether the Earth is expanding or contracting at present is an interesting problem in science. Some scientists support the viewpoint of Earth expansion, and some are against this viewpoint. The expanding Earth hypothesis is mainly supported by paleontology, paleomagnetism, paleoclimatology and geology data [e.g., Scalera 2003a]. Wilson [1960] declared that the Earth is expanding based on geological evidence and the Wegener's continental drift hypothesis. By simulating the expansion process of the Earth, Creer [1965] concluded that the Earth radius RE was around 0.55R in the early Precambrian (ca. 3,800 Myr ago), around 0.94R to 0.96R in the early Paleozoic (ca. 544 Myr ago), and around 0.96R to 0.97R in the early Mesozoic (ca. 230 Myr ago), where R = 6371 km, the mean radius of the Earth at present. Based on various geological evidence, Dearnley [1965] showed that RE was around 4400 km before 270 Myr ago, and around 6000 km before 6.5 Myr ago, and that the mean radius has increased at a rate of about 0.6 mm/yr. Carey [1976, 1988] concluded that the Earth is expanding within the ocean-floor expansion framework, and Chen [2000] reported that the Earth started to expand around 4300 Myr ago, with a radius of about 4651 km and at an increased rate of around 0.4 mm/yr at that time, compared with the radius increase at a rate of around 0.1 mm/yr at present. A study by Müller [2010, http://zeitexpansion/de] suggested that not only is the universe expanding, but also the Earth, and the radius of the Earth increases at a rate of about 0.6 mm/yr. Following a series of studies of three paleogeographical reconstructions for the Paleocene, Cretaceous and Jurassic, Scalera [1998, 2001] carried out a further reconstruction for the Triassic period with the assistance of paleomagnetic data. He found that the data are best reconciled if they are treated in an expanding Earth framework, and the mean rate of increase of the Earth radius is 15 mm/yr. Based on analyses of the Laser Geodynamics Satellites and very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) data for stable nonorogenic continental regions, Gerasimenko (1993) indicated an increase in the Earth radius of 4.15 ± 0.27 mm/yr. However, later studies of Gerasimenko [1996, 1997] showed that the rate of increase of the Earth radius does not exceed 1 mm/yr, by analyzing the VLBI data. Further, Gerasimenko [2003] reprocessed the NASA VLBI data (NASA GSFC solution number 1122, June 1999) and obtained a possible radius increase of 0.2 mm/yr after removing the network points that influenced their heights by as much as ±4.0 mm/yr.
Based on various geological evidences, many scientists have concluded that the Earth is expanding at a rate ranging from 0.1 mm/yr to several millimeters every year. Our investigations show that the Earth is expanding, at least at present, at a rate of about 0.2 mm/yr, and the evidences come from both temporal gravity fields and space geodetic data. Based on the EGM2008 temporal gravity field model, calculations show that the PIMs are gradually increasing, at a mean rate of 1.73 ×10-11/yr (i.e., I, which demonstrates the present expansion of the Earth at a rate of about 0.18 mm/yr. From another aspect, based on the coordinates and vertical velocities of 629 space geodetic stations that are spread over the globe, we find that the average radius of the Earth is increasing at a rate of about 0.24 mm/yr. Whether our conclusion can be extended to the geological time scale is a problem to be investigated further.

the receipt of a copy from Sam Carey of his mimeographed paper18 from the [1956] Tasmanian [drift] symposium."19 And Bullard never denied Carey's priority.20 Carey embraced the expansion hypothesis in the mid-fifties after attempting, without success, to reconstruct Pangaea, the ancestral supercontinent, on a globe of modern dimensions. No matter how the continents were arranged, huge 'gaping gores' would appear between regions with known geological connections. "I could make satisfactory sketches like Wegener's classic assembly [Carey recalls], but never accurately on the globe, or a rigorous projection. Starting from the assembly of Africa and South America, [...] a yawning gulf* appeared between Indonesia and Australia [which] belonged together." Years of frustration tempted Carey to abandon his ambitious project. "A crucial link seemed to be missing from the global synthesis."
But in the end, Carey's zeal for accuracy paid off, and the solution was surprisingly simple. "It was not my method that was at fault, but my implicit assumption that the Earth of Pangaea was the same size as the Earth today. The assembly of Pangaea was not possible on a globe of present radius, but on a smaller globe, ...these difficulties vanished." 21 Carey had found the missing link. The gaping gores reveal huge gaps in current thinking about the earth. Though psychologically comforting, the assumption of a constant-sized Earth is fraught with paradox – contradictions of geological fact – when attempts are made to reassemble Pangaea. In addition to the gaping gores, (subsequently verified by Owen in his Atlas of Continental Drift22) Carey also discovered many other geological impossibilities when Pangaea is assembled on a globe of present size. These include the Pacific Paradox,23,24 the Arctic Paradox,25 the India-Gondwana Paradox26 and the Double Equator Paradox,27 to name but a few. All of these enigmas disappear when the continents are assembled on a smaller globe. And they helped convince Carey that the Earth had expanded. None of the positive evidence marshaled in support of Plate Tectonics is incompatible with Earth expansion. The expansion hypothesis can easily account for continental displacement, the creation of new oceanic crust, transform faults, the concentration of
earthquakes at plate boundaries,† and many other well known geological phenomena. But which explanation is correct? One way of judging two competing theories is by measuring their predictive power; and in this respect the expansion hypothesis demonstrates its superiority. Crucial facts that Plate Tectonics must 'explain' – such as the youthful age of the Pacific floor, intraplate seismic activity (e.g. the New Madrid quake of 1823), or the Paleozoic geological links between India and Asia28 – are predictable consequences of Earth expansion. (Indeed, the relative displacement of the continents is perhaps its most compelling prediction.) Conversely, many important predictions deduced from Plate Tectonics – such as the existence of accretionary * This is the mythical Tethyan 'gore', still depicted on most maps of Pangaea, which falsely separates peninsular India from Asia and Australia, and Australia from Indonesia. Tethys certainly existed, but as a narrow equatorial sea separating Gondwanaland from Laurasia and not as a yawning gulf. Its closest modem analogs are the Mediterranean and Caribbean. † Seismic tomography has shown that continental lithosphere is wedded to the mantle to a depth of several hundred kilometers. Accordingly, Carey rejects the term 'plate' because it implies that the lithosphere acts independently of the underlying mantle and instead favors 'polygonal prism' that includes the deep mantle and in which the lithosphere is merely the uppermost layer. prisms of sediments scraped off subducted plates and the alleged compressional origin of oceanic trenches – have been refuted.29 Plate subduction is believed to occur primarily in the Pacific at the deep trenches in midocean and along the continental margins. According to the plate theory, seafloor spreading in the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic oceans causes the plates to converge on the Pacific where they collide and overlap. When this occurs, one of the plates is subducted beneath the other and it descends back into the earth's interior (where it is 'made mantle again') along the seismically active Benioff-Wadati Zone. Subduction into the trenches supposedly eliminates crust as quickly as seafloor spreading creates it. For every square mile of new crust created by seafloor spreading, an equal amount of old crust must be consumed by subduction. Without subduction, or some other crust disposal mechanism, the earth's surface area would increase and the Earth would expand.

When the 'conveyor-belt' model of seafloor spreading cum subduction was first conceived in the 1960s, it was confidently predicted that the trenches would exhibit signs of compression, caused by the convergence of lithospheric plates and the subduction of thousands of square miles of oceanic crust. But this prediction proved wrong. "The seafloor spreading hypothesis may, for some geologists, require compression in the vicinity of trenches, but the data require horizontal tension."30 According to H. W. Menard, a specialist in Pacific geology, "the most troublesome aspect of the sea-floor spreading hypothesis was the absence of direct evidence of convergence. There was no problem if the Earth was expanding, but if it was not, enormous areas of old oceanic crust had to be plunging into the mantle along the line of oceanic trenches. It was generally expected that the sediment in trenches would show signs of this violent phenomena, but none could be found."31 In trench after trench, the sediments turned out to be completely undisturbed; and there were no outcrops from the subducted plates. Menard and his fellow oceanographer Maurice Ewing were mystified by all this. "Neither of us believed for a moment in an expanding earth, so we were left with a puzzle."32 But in the end, both men endorsed the troublesome subduction hypothesis. Perhaps they believed they had no choice.

The continental drift debate lasted, off and on, for nearly half a century. The reality of drift was proven geologically in the 1930s by the South African geologist Alexander L. Du Toit33, but it was not until the 1960s that the majority of geologists (and the Americans in particular) were finally converted. Given the prolonged and agonizing struggle over continental drift – an idea with overwhelming evidence in its favor – it is rather surprising that subduction – an untested if not untestable hypothesis with practically no empirical support – was accepted sight unseen, and practically overnight. Geology is a science renowned for its conservatism. Why, then, did so many geologists convert so quickly to an idea so radical and unfounded? The reason is simple: subduction was the lesser of two evils. The alternative – Earth expansion – was "anathema to most geophysicists," and it still is. Evidently, it is easier to believe in a superefficient crust disposal mechanism that consumes oceanic crust at precisely the same rate as it is formed without leaving any evidence in its wake, than it is to consider the simpler (albeit still unexplained) alternative of Earth expansion. The universal rejection of Earth expansion led inexorably to the reification of plate subduction. Today, subduction is portrayed as though it were The Gospel Truth more gospel than truth. Carey is more blunt. Subduction, he writes, "is a myth that exists only in the minds of its creators."
34 Another point of contention between Plate Tectonics and Earth expansion is orogenesis – the origin of mountains and fold belts. According to the Plate Tectonic theory, orogenesis is a compressional phenomenon: folding results from crustal foreshortening caused by the collision of two lithospheric plates. But Carey denies this; he attributes orogenesis to vertical uplift and gravitational collapse on an expanding sphere. Once again, Carey has the geological evidence on his side. The Himalaya, the very archetype of compressional plate tectonics, "could not have been born of collision nor of subduction, but resulted from vertical uplift."35 And in the Andes, "the fundamental tectonic style is extensional (east-west)."36 Unfortunately, when faced with the choice between fact and doctrine – the fact of extension and vertical uplift versus the doctrine of compression and crustal foreshortening – most Anglo-American plate theorists opt for the latter. Naturally, they have devised all sorts of ad hoc explanations for these anomalous facts, a tactic that appalls many field workers37 and which philosophers of science consider symptomatic of a 'degenerating research program.'38 Noting that most German and Russian-speaking geologists
have abandoned this doctrine, Carey dismisses compressional orogenesis as an "Englishlanguage obsession" – a legacy of Newton's Earth contraction theory.
The pioneers of the 'new global tectonics' have helped revolutionize Earth science. Unfortunately, they are still encumbered with many obsolete dogmas. The adherence to dogma in the face of contrary evidence, and the proliferation of ad hoc hypotheses to account for that evidence, is not at all unusual in science – especially during a scientific revolution. Consider, for example, Galileo. A courageous advocate of the new Copernican system, the great Italian scientist could never bring himself to accept Kepler's evidence that the orbits of the planets are elliptical and not circular. Still entranced by the ancient Greek idea of heavenly perfection, Galileo believed that the planets move around the Sun in perfectly circular orbits. Unable or unwilling to abandon this archaic doctrine – despite the evidence against it – Galileo, like Ptolemy and Copernicus before him, was compelled to invoke epicycles 'to save the appearances' of planetary motion. A similar situation exists in geology today. Advocates of Plate Tectonics have con
Continental rocks from the Rio Grande Ridge, South Atlantic
As introduced in the News section of this issue (page 108), a piece of exciting news ran around the world in early May: GRANITE WAS DISCOVERED FROM THE RIO GRANDE RIDGE, SOUTH ATLANTIC.
The Geology Service of Brazil (CPRM) dredged granite from the Rio Grande Rise two years ago. This was confirmed by the Japanese submersible 'Shinkai 6500' shortly before the announcement in May this year. The evidence for a sunken continent in that part of the South Atlantic is of extreme importance in considering the formation of the world's oceans, which has been one of the major focuses of the NCGT group. Many articles have appeared on this subject in the NCGT Newsletter, such as the article by Yano et al. in no. 53, "Ancient and continental rocks in the Atlantic Ocean". So today I am going to write about the significance of this discovery.
The Rio Grande Ridge is the southern extension of the South American Geanticlinal Trend (SAGT), as seen in the figure below (Choi, NCGT Newsletter, no. 24, 2002). It is situated in an antipodal position to the BorneoVanuatu Geanticline in the South Pacific and SE Asia. The SAGT's northern extension runs through the
Caribbean dome, Gulf of Mexico and reaches the collapsed axis of the Canadian Shield in the north. It is a Precambrian structural trend but has been repeatedly reactivated in the Phanerozoic especially in the Central America region where mantle upwelling occurred in Meso-Cenozoic time.
The discovery of granite from the Rio Grande Ridge has established a strong case that a wide area with positive gravity anomalies in the South Atlantic, including the Walvis Ridge, is underlain by continental rocks. The Geology Service of Brazil is said to be planning to drill the Rio Grande Ridge this year to confirm thei discovery. If granite is recovered in the cores, it will sound the death knell of plate tectonics.
However, to explain away the presence of granite, plate tectonics proponents have, as usual, resorted to ad hoc adjustments: "The area in question may have been left in the water as the continent separated in line with the movements of plates" (The Japan Times, 7 May 2013) – a standard claim that is never backed up by the proposal of a convincing mechanism. Another bizarre claim is the following: "… as those ice rafts were melting, large blocks of rock dropped down all over the seafloor" (National Geographic News, 9 May 2013).
It must be emphasized that the granite discovery was made by a Brazilian government authority that oversees the geology of offshore basins where hydrocarbons are currently being produced and active exploration is taking place. They are well aware that the deep basins offshore Brazil are underlain by continental rocks. As Keith James ably put it: "…extended offshore parts of the South American continent have subsided deeply. … unrecognized large areas of subsided and extended continent offer great hydrocarbon potential, and … the plate tectonic paradigm underpinning much geological thinking of the last 45 years needs revision" (Oil and Gas Journal, v. 109, p. 22-29, 7 Mar 2011; N
7. Conclusions
This paper described one of the most outstanding geological structures seen at the Earth's surface; a globalscale, deep-rooted geanticlinal structure extending from the South Pacific to the Siberian Craton. It was formed in the Archean and, together with the antipodal N-S American Geanticline, undoubtedly affected the structural and magmatic development of the Earth. Together they place constraints on global tectonic models. The Yunnan surge channel sits on the axis of the Geanticline. It is one of the most active surge channels today, characterized by strong energy discharge (earthquakes) and active rise in the Cenozoic. These activities can be regarded as the early stage of the oceanization process. The existence of such large-scale, deep-rooted, Archean-origin geological structures on opposite sides of the globe, both without large horizontal dislocation, means that no large-scale horizontal movement of the crust and mantle as claimed by plate tectonics has occurred since Proterozoic to Cenozoic time.
We got some plates here in the slim house but they aint from calfornia. We got them in gattlinburg tenesee.

I usually ride to Murphy's, CA which is a 65 mile OW trip.. 2 days ago June 19, for the first time on my C5, I rode to Lake Tahoe which was a 150 mile one way trip, I took the back roads HWY 88 all the way, and took a break every 45 to 50 miles, stayed the night and returned the next day, It was a really awesome journey, looking forward to doing it again very soon...Below is a picture of Silver Lake, the one close to Lake Tahoe...
Nice..... I hope you packed the pocket fisherman ! I hear there's gold eating Steel-head up in them there hills !!
(2) How the h*ll do you get 67 MPG at 70mph? The best I can do cruising at 65-70mph is about 50 MPG. I've only gotten above 70 MPG on one tank in 4,000 miles, and that was cruising at a deliberately steady 30-35 for 70 miles (because of a disabled sprocket assembly). More typically in ordinary highway driving I get around 48-53 MPG.

Hackers target the World Cup
Hackers are planning to attack the FIFA World Cup, according to a report by Infosecurity Magazine.
The article cited two hackers. One called Che Commodore spoke with Reuters and explained that the infamous hacker group Anonymous has already begun to look for weaknesses in World Cup-related websites it can exploit.
Commodore said the group plans to execute Denial of Service attacks on high-profile sponsors of the event. Denial of Service attacks flood Web servers with so much bandwidth usage they shut down.
"We have already conducted late-night tests to see which of the sites are more vulnerable," he said. "We have a plan of attack."
The second hacker is known as AnonManifest, who breached the Brazilian Foreign Ministry's network and stole 300 confidential documents.
The price of prestige
Hacker groups like Anonymous like to use high-profile events like the World Cup because of the added publicity it gives them, said David Howorth, vice president at Alert Logic, an IT network security firm.
Howorth added those vulnerable to an attack during the World Cup should plan a strategy for preventing Denial of Service attacks, as well as taking the usual precautions to ensure all computer applications are patched and that all firewalls are configured as they should be.
Learning From Sochi
The threats to the World Cup are no different from the threats that were faced by sponsors of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.
One group affiliated with Anonymous, called Anonymous Caucasus, threatened to hack sites in the same way that Anonymous is threatening to hack sites affiliated with the FIFA World Cup. The group threatened to use the Olympics as a way of stealing information through spreading malware and using phishing scams. They also executed Denial of Service attacks against several websites, which shut down the website belonging to Russia's national games committee.
How big a problem? By the numbers...
The sheer number of hacking attempts that various groups can make during something like an Olympic event can be enormous. China was subject to about 12 million cyberattacks a day during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, according to Public Intelligence. When the Olympics ended in China, it wasn't long before London, which hosted the 2012 games, became subject to hacking attempts as well. Even during the London Olympics, there were hackers planning to execute cyberattacks against the Olympic Games in Sochi.
If a company is going to be part of a major event, it needs to think about security well in advance.

Sometimes it can be difficult to find just the right shade of makeup for your skin tone or eye color. Usually, testing different colors and types of cosmetics can give you a better idea of what products look best and work best for your appearance and your personal preferences. Of course, it can become costly if you continuously find yourself purchasing new items to sample in your quest for the perfect cosmetics. For the best results, cosmetics sample kits and sets allow you to test smaller sizes of products that may suit your needs. Choosing the right cosmetics for your complexion and eye color then becomes infinitely easier and more effective.
High quality makeup brands often offer makeup sets and kits for sampling different lines of products. The Illuminare Cosmetics Sets and Kits are designed to introduce women to sample colors of certain product lines in order to find the best match. The Illuminare Cosmetics Sets and Kits collection includes crease-proof sunscreen eye makeup with SPF 15. You can enjoy testing and custom blending as well as creating different looks using the products in the Illuminare Cosmetics Sets and Kits. Choose from dark or medium eye color kits to get the most defined and gorgeous eyes.
In the world of cosmetics products, your face is the blank canvas upon which you can create beautiful new creations time and again. Testing different makeup products, much like having your own makeover party, can be a lot of fun while also introducing you to new techniques and styles that work for everyday use or special occasions. The Illuminare Cosmetics Sets and Kits allow you to find gorgeous combinations of makeup products without breaking the bank on cosmetics purchases. Consider the medium and dark eye color kits to get the most out of your makeup applications every day.
The Illuminare Eye Color Kit Dark contains three all day eye colors – Cafe Latte, Cafe Americano, and Espresso, as well as an eye color brush and an eye liner brush. The eye color products are semi-matte and creamy in texture, highly water resistant, and fortified with sunscreen (SPF 15) to keep your skin looking youthful and healthy. These eye colors are also crease-proof and blend onto your skin swiftly and smoothly, either with the included brushes or even with your fingertips.
The Illuminare Eye Color Kit Medium contains three crease-proof, all day eye color shades - Cafe Latte, Cafe Mocha, and Cafe Americano, plus an eye liner brush and an eye color brush. All of the Illuminare eye colors also function as eye liners and brow fillers when applied using the eye liner / brow brush that is included in the kit. Both Illuminare Eye Color Kits are suitable for those who wear contact lenses or have sensitive eyes. The Extra Coverage formula also works nicely as a base for the Illuminare eye colors. The products in both of these kits are versatile and offer unlimited possibilities for sexy and attractive eyes.

Alaska, Hawaii paramedics, nurses go to Manhattan
By Associated Press
HONOLULU (AP) Three dozen paramedics, nurses and other health care workers from Alaska and Hawaii are heading to Manhattan to help people hit by Superstorm Sandy.
Two teams from Hawaii and one team from Alaska leave Monday on a trip that could last up to two weeks.
They start their work in Manhattan on Tuesday.
The group of clinicians, nurses, paramedics and pharmacists most recently served in American Samoa after an earthquake and tsunami hit the U.S. territory in 2009.
Healthcare Association of Hawaii Emergency Services Director Toby Clairmont says Hawaii has a great working relationship with Alaska's team. He says Hawaii is happy to team with Alaska again to help the people of New York.

To win a war, armies might be not enough. You need political skills as well, allowing you to change the balance of power in your favour, forge new alliances and isolate the enemy.
The endless conflict between Napoleon and the several Coalitions formed against him was fought following exactly this simple rule. Great Britain didn't have a ground army able to counter alone the capacity of the Revolutionary France and was forced to convince and support potential allies on the Continent.
On the other hand, Napoleon took many risks to manage fighting on multiple fronts at once, stretching his resources and wasting time and materials.

The second Sino-Japanese War was a cruel and bloody conflict often overlooked due to its proximity to the Japanese entry into World War 2 at Pearl Harbour. But the events of this campaign had a great impact on the future of the people and armed forces of both nations.
This conflict, and its protracted nature in the later years, could be seen as one of main causes of the final Japanese defeat. It greatly drained the Empire's resources, forcing it to deploy thousands of soldiers and war-ships and defend against repeated guerrilla attacks.

Japan, at the end of 15th century.
For almost two hundred years the central power of the Ashikaga Shogunate has been progressively eroded by rebellious local daimyo. Decades of struggles among the warlords have divided the country and now they verge upon open war.
With the succession to the shogunate in doubt and a nation in economic distress. It is a time of reckoning for the noble families and their retainers, the Samurai.
This is the time of great and ambitious lords, a time of honour and betrayal. This is the time of the nation at war.
This is the Senkoku Jidai!

Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has issued a detailed advisory for general public on how they can take up their grievances on various issues including investment frauds, manipulative activities and other irregularities. While providing a guidance to general public on effective ways to redress their grievances, Sebi in this advisory has also highlighted cases where repeated complaints are received despite the matter being resolved from Sebis side.
Sebi has been receiving complaints on SCORES (Sebis online complaint redressal platform) and also getting regular emails regarding complaints. These complaints are examined and are taken up with respective companies or intermediaries for redressal, Sebi said in the advisory.
As per the process, Sebi takes action on a complaint based on the action taken reports given by companies and other regulated entities and under the prescribed regulations.
However, Sebi said: There are some complaints which are addressed as per the existing norms but these complaints are continuously referred back to Sebi despite having been addressed such as by advising complainants to approach appropriate authorities or forums such as civil and consumer courts, arbitration mechanism, or to other regulators, etc.
Giving examples of such complaints, Sebi said it has repeatedly recieved grievances on instances such as those against a broker for non-payment of brokerage commission, dividend, office rent, referral charges and other expenses due to him, among others. Another complainant, Sebi said someone alleged that on a particular day, before the close of a trading session, incorrect news was flashed on TV regarding the quarterly results of a firm.
Guiding the public, Sebi has said that complaints such as those against unlisted, delisted, wound up, liquidated, sick firms and those cases which are sub-judice, do not fall under its purview. Sebi also said it does not handle complaints that fall under the purview of other regulatory bodies such as RBI, IRDA, PFRDA, CCI as well as those that come under ministries like corporate affairs ministry.
According to Sebi it only handles complaints pertaining to capital market participants like listed companies, stock brokers, stock exchanges, mutual funds, among others. Besides, Sebi said it does not consider matters as complaints if they seek explanation for non-trading of shares or illiquidity of shares, make allegations without supporting documents as well as those related to disputes arising out of private agreement with companies and intermediaries.
Sebi noted that it does face various kinds of limitations while resolving the complaints such as in cases where the entity against whom the grievance has been filed denies wrongdoing, and it remains unclear as to who is wrong or whether any wrongdoing occurred at all.
If this happens, Sebi cannot act as a judge or an arbitrator and force the entity to resolve the complaint. Securities laws and other laws provide important legal rights and remedies if an investor has suffered wrongdoing. On their own, investors can also seek to resolve their complaint through the courts, consumer courts, or arbitration, it said.

As your baby works on her important motor skills, have you noticed how closely she watches everything she's doing? The concentration with which she reaches for a toy may remind you of a scientist engrossed in research. It's obvious that her good vision is playing a key role in her early motor and cognitive development. Conveniently, her eyes become fully functional just when she needs them most.
Although your baby was able to see at birth, her total visual ability has taken months to develop fully. Only now can she distinguish subtle shades of reds, blues, and yellows. Don't be surprised if you notice that she prefers red or blue to other colors; these seem to be favorites among many infants this age. Most babies also like increasingly complex patterns and shapes as they get older—something to keep in mind when you're shopping for picture books or posters for your child's nursery.
By four months, your baby's range of vision has increased to several feet (meters) or more, and it will continue to expand until, at about seven months, her eyesight will be more nearly mature. At the same time, she'll learn to follow faster and faster movements with her eyes. In the early months, when you rolled a ball across the room, she couldn't coordinate her eyes well enough to track it, but now she'll follow the path of moving objects easily. As her hand-to-eye coordination improves, she'll be able to grab these objects as well.
A mobile hung over the crib or in front of an infant's "bouncy" seat is an ideal way to stimulate a young baby's vision. However, by about five months, your baby will quickly get bored and search for other things to watch. Also by this age, she may be sitting up and might pull down or tangle herself in a mobile. For this reason, remove mobiles from cribs or playpens as soon as your baby is able to pull or hold herself upright. Still another way to hold your baby's visual interest is to keep her moving—around your home, down the block, to the store, or out on special excursions. Help her find things to look at that she's never seen before, and name each one out loud for her.
A mirror is another source of endless fascination for babies this age. The reflected image is constantly changing, and, even more important, it responds directly to your child's own movements. This is her clue that the person in the mirror is actually herself. It may take your baby a while to come to this realization, but it probably will register during this period.
In general, then, your child's visual awareness should clearly increase during these four months. Watch how she responds as you introduce her to new shapes, colors, and objects. If she doesn't seem to be interested in looking at new things, or if one or both eyes turn in or out, inform your pediatrician.

"The worst song of the year." -Time Magazine
"Offensive or just awful?" – E!
"What the hell did I just watch?" -Angry Asian Man
The guys who brought us Rebecca Black's "Friday" are back and have unleashed a song that may very well beat their first viral phenomenon. Alison Gold is the face of this new troll video "Chinese Food" where she sings about her love for, you guessed it, Chinese food.
The video combines the poor musical abilities of "Friday," more than a handful of racist stereotypes, and lyrics that leave you wondering what sort of condition the creators may have been in while writing this trainwreck.
The music video was only released yesterday and it has already logged over one million views. It also has over four times as many dislikes than likes, but we have a feeling the producers don't really mind that. Will it be able to beat its predecessor's 60 million views? Time will only tell.
If you can endure watching the whole thing through, you may find yourself asking a lot of questions by the end of it. Why are there so many rainbows? Why is a 12-year-old singing about clubbing? Why on earth is there a giant panda bear?
Clearly, Ark Music Factory wanted to test out just how many inappropriate stereotypes they could fit in a tween pop song. As Angry Asian Man points out, "Mongolian barbecue, hot sauce, geishas and an extremely creepy panda man flying away on rainbow power. As you can see, you don't need scantily clad women to exoticize and objectify Asians — kids can get in on the racist fun too!"
If you absolutely cannot bring yourself to watch the whole thing though, Time Magazine did a lovely breakdown of the entire video:
0:16: Now we see our protagonist, Alison Gold, who sing-songily describes her average day of bowling, clubbing, hugging and being hungry. She's basically your average 13-year-old.
0:59: It appears as though "chow-m-m-m-m-mein" is something of a catch phrase for Gold, almost like R. Kelly's "toot-toot" and "beep-beep" from "Ignition (Remix)." The first time she says it, she makes it rain; the second time, she brushes her shoulders off (always good to see the next generation paying homage to hip-hop greats like Weezy and Jay).
1:45: Now here's where things take a turn for the even weirder. Gold's fortune cookie says, "You will find a new friend." So she turns around and sees a person sitting at a table by themselves, wearing a panda suit. The panda gets a fortune that reads, "You will find a new friend too," which makes even less sense once you think about it. Also, options if you're a young girl sitting by yourself in a restaurant and someone in a panda costume is staring at you:
1. Call your parents
2. Call the police
3. Not this…
2:12: Things seemed to be going well in the park, so Gold decides to bring the panda home to play Monopoly with her friends (kids playing Monopoly in 2013 has to be the most unrealistic part of this video, if every trend piece of the last five years is to be believed). That's when we get the big reveal…
2:13: The panda is Patrice Wilson! He also "loves Chinese food, and some wonton soup," the latter of which would be covered under the Chinese food pronouncement, but let's not focus on that too much. He is apparently crushing a group of pre-teen girls in a game of Monopoly and Gold seems none too pleased about it.

501 SummitYankton, SD 57078605-668-8000
The Sleep Diagnostics Laboratory at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital is a division of the Cardiopulmonary Department. The laboratory employs specially trained sleep professionals who use state of the art equipment to diagnose and treat sleep disorders.
A sleep disorder is a physical or psychological condition that disturbs sleep and causes abnormal sleepiness during the day. People who have sleep disorders may experience fatigue, irritability, depression, reduced concentration, more frequent illnesses, lost productivity and motor vehicle accidents. The most common sleep disorders include Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Narcolepsy, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMS) and REM Behavior Disorder (RBD).
The Sleep Diagnostics Laboratory at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating each of the sleep disorders listed above. Laboratory professionals are also trained to recognize Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and Bruxism (teeth grinding).
If you suspect you may have a sleep disorder and it's negatively affecting your quality of life, make an appointment with one of Yankton region's pulmonologists or ENT physicians. Based on face-to-face evaluation and screening tools, they may order a sleep study in the Sleep Laboratory.
The results of the sleep study are interpreted by by either Dr. Lori Hansen or Dr. Michael Pietila and appropriate treatment is recommended. Both Drs. Hansen and Pietila are pulmonologists with special training in sleep medicine and medical directors at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital.
The sleep laboratory is located at Avera Sacred Heart Hospital on the 5th Floor of the Benedictine Center. Patients will be asked to arrive at the Sleep Lab sometime between 7 and 9 p.m. A sleep technologist greets patients and fully explain the procedure before the study begins.
Patients stay overnight in the Sleep Lab in a room similar to a motel room, each room has a private bathroom and shower. Patients wear their own pajamas and may bring their own pillows or special blankets from home. Prior to going to bed, a sleep technologist will attach several sensors to your head, chest and legs to monitor the many functions that occur during sleep. The sleep technologist stays in an adjacent room and is available throughout the night for your comfort.
The study will be completed between 6 and 7 a.m. The results are then analyzed and sent to the physician who ordered the study. A few days later, the physician will have a follow-up appointment to discuss the results of your sleep study.
Most patients go straight to work after their sleep study and report feeling rested.
Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by breathing pauses during sleep. Each episode, called an apnea, lasts at least 10 seconds. These breathing pauses occur repeatedly during sleep and often cause awakenings and decreased oxygen levels. Sleep Apnea may also be associated with irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke.
Sleep apnea is most often caused by a physical block (obstruction) to the upper airway, which occurs when muscles relax during sleep. Excess fat tissue, loss of muscle tone or structural abnormalities contribute to the upper airway obstruction and may also account for snoring. Snoring is often associated with sleep apnea, although not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. Other signs of sleep apnea include excessive daytime sleepiness, gasping/choking during sleep, restless sleep and morning headaches.
Sleep apnea may be successfully treated with positive airway pressure devices, the most common being CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). With CPAP, a person wears a nasal (or nasal-oral) mask to bed. The mask is connected by tubing to a small machine that sits on an individual's nightstand. The machine quietly delivers positive air pressure to the upper airway, which prevents airway collapse and breathing pauses.
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that causes uncontrollable levels of daytime sleepiness that result in "sleep attacks" during inappropriate times of the day. People with narcolepsy may also experience cataplexy, which is characterized by sudden muscular weakness brought on by strong emotions.
Narcolepsy may be diagnosed in the sleep laboratory by a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MLST), in which a person takes a series of 20 minutes naps throughout the day. Once diagnosed, narcolepsy is most commonly treated with medications designed to stimulate the central nervous system. It is also controlled with lifestyle changes and planned short naps during the day.
This disorder is characterized by excessive arm and leg movement (or jerks) during sleep. The excessive movement can disrupt sleep and the person feels tired in the morning and throughout the day. Medication may help treat this disorder.
This disorder is characterized by abnormal behavior during dream sleep, and an individual with RBD may appear to be acting out a dream. These behaviors can be violent in nature and in some cases will result in injury to either the patient or their bed partner. Once diagnosed, RBD may be treated with medication.
Although this disorder occurs during wakefulness, it may disrupt sleep onset. People with RLS have crawling and tingling sensations in their legs. These feelings may be most intense when sitting or lying down, and relief comes from moving the legs. Because of leg movement, some individuals with RLS have difficulty falling asleep. Medication may help treat this disorder.
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, may also be identified during a sleep study. A mouth guard may be recommended for home use.
Insomnia is difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep. Insomnia is not a stand-alone diagnosis or disease, but rather, a symptom of many sleep and psychological disorders. Often times, insomnia is treated when an underlying sleep disorder is diagnosed and treated.

GREENVILLE, N.C. – Eight East Carolina football games, including five at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, are scheduled for live television coverage in 2012 according to Conference USA's release of initial broadcast selections Thursday.
FOX Sports Networks will air three of the home contests, including the season opener against Appalachian State at 12:00 p.m. on Sept. 1. FSN, which began its partnership with C-USA last year, will also broadcast Navy's visit on Oct. 27 and a potentially pivotal league interdivision matchup against Houston on Nov. 3. The Cougars' trek to Greenville will mark their first since ECU posted a 38-32 victory in the 2009 league title game.
C-USA has identified the CBS Sports Network as the carrier of the Pirates' games against UCF (Thursday, Nov. 4) and Marshall (Friday, Nov. 23) following an early-April date change announcement. In addition, CBSSN will televise ECU's first league contest of the campaign, at Southern Miss on Sept. 15.
Kickoff times have been established for all three of the CBSSN games, which include 3:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (ET) starts for East Carolina's battles against the Golden Eagles and Knights, respectively. Network and C-USA officials honored ECU's request for a 2:00 p.m. kick against the Thundering Herd in order to work cooperatively with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association's (NCHSAA) playoff schedule during the Thanksgiving Weekend.
"We sincerely appreciate East Carolina University keeping us informed regarding their television discussions with C-USA as it pertains to their football scheduling," NCHSAA Commissioner Davis Whitfield said. "This game will in no way conflict with our state football playoff games, which will be played in their traditional Friday night time slots. As a result, sports fans across the state will have the opportunity to watch the Pirates compete in the afternoon and then support their local high school football team later in the evening. Again, we are grateful for the advanced communication and relationship we have with ECU and appreciate its concern for our programs."
C-USA also announced Comcast Sports South (CSS) will broadcast East Carolina's meeting against Memphis from Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 13 and Cox Sports will air the action starting at 3:30 p.m. from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome when the Pirates travel to Tulane for their regular season road finale on Nov. 17.
ECU's local television package, which is coordinated by IMG College, and possible additional selections by FSN, CBSSN or other networks will be announced at a later date. While a 7 pm kickoff time has been established by school officials for the UTEP game on Sept. 29, starts for the remaining five contests will be determined once all television assignments and programming arrangements have been completed.
2012 ECU FOOTBALL TELEVISION SCHEDULE (as of June 14)
09/01 Appalachian State, 12:00 p.m. (FSN)
09/15 at Southern Miss, 3:30 p.m. (CBSSN)
10/04 at UCF, 8:00 p.m. (CBSSN)
10/13 Memphis, 4:15 p.m. (CSS)
10/27 Navy, TBA (FSN)
11/03 Houston, TBA (FSN)
11/17 at Tulane, 3:30 p.m. (Cox Sports)
11/23 Marshall, 2:00 p.m. (CBSSN)
All times Eastern

I'm trying to move to a new zimbra server by using the backup/restore function. I'm running 8.0.3 NE on both servers. When I try to restore an accout I get the following message:
zmrestore -a email@example.com -t /path/to/backup
Error occurred: invalid attr value: invalid attr value - unable to modify attributes: some attributes not unique
The old server was originally installed as version 5 so it still has the briefcase enabled. Could this error be related to features enabled on the old server which are not enabled by default on the new server?
Also, not sure if this matters, but I'm using a trial license on the new server until I can get everything working. I couldn't find anything in the forums with this type of error related to a restore so any help would be appreciated.
Edit: It turns out this problem only occurs with some accounts. Some of the accounts can be restored properly.

It appears that the beginning of preschool also brings with it the beginning of the birthday party circuit. So far, we've gotten 3 birthday party invitations for classmates in the first three weeks of school. We're happy to bring DS, as he seems to enjoy the fun. My real question is about gifts. We've only been attending kid parties for relatives or close friends' kids, so we are willing to go above what I feel comfortable giving to a new-ish classmate. I would like to spend about $10, and I am also very aware of not wanting to add to another house's "kid clutter". Is it really tacky to put an Amazon or Barnes and Noble gift card in a card so therecipient can pick out a new book or toy, or pool them for something bigger?
What do you all do?

8-inch Ford Option - Rebuilt Rear - TechWritten by on November 18, 2010 An 8-Inch Ford Option For That Heavy Hauler
There's no doubt that one of the most popular and most hyped rearends is the Ford 9-inch. As bulletproof as they come, it's become the go-to rear when it comes to a high-horsepower application, be it Ford, Chevy, or Mopar. As great as the 9-inch rearend might be, they do have a few drawbacks. For one, the housing is rather large when compared to their Chevy counterparts. For those of us with lowered trucks, that can be a very important consideration. There's nothing worse than ruining that perfect bed with a hump right in the middle of it so that big, round housing can articulate properly without crashing into the bed floor. And short of that, many times there's just no simple way around it. Enter the 8-inch Ford rear.
Like its larger Ford brethren, the 8-inch Ford rear is plenty stout, only in a slightly smaller package. Introduced in 1962 as a light-duty, smaller version of the 9-inch, it was continued on through 1980 in a myriad of applications. Take a look through your local junkyard and you're likely to turn up at least a handful of them.
Now don't get me wrong, there are times and places for a big 9-inch under that hauler where an 8-inch may not fit the bill (heck, my '52 F-1 has a 9-inch). But if you're packing a moderate powerplant, say under 400 horse, and are concerned with clearance issues out back, the 8-inch makes for a great rearend.
I've had an 8-inch rear set aside for a future project in my shop for a while now and thought it was high time to get it down to the guys at Currie Enterprises to get it rebuilt and ready to rock for whatever future project I run into. It was an interesting process and by the time we were done the only items from the stock rearend left were the housing, an axle, and the pinion support. It was definitely an eye-opener as to why Currie pushes their crate rearends and why, for most applications, it's a much more logical solution.
But for those who already have their hands on an existing rearend, a rebuild is a great alternative to chucking a perfectly good axle in exchange for a brand-new item. Keep in mind though that Currie produces everything from brand-new housings and axles to ring-and-pinions and various brake options. So be it a rebuild or a completely new, custom-built rearend Currie can handle it all for you.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The first step in disassembly is to remove the four bolts behind the axle flange that keep the axle and backing plate fixed to the housing.With the axles out of the housing, the gearcase, ring-and-pinion, and differential can be removed as a unit.This is accomplished using a pressure washer that utilizes steam to remove any grease and debris before it's placed in a Steelabrator machine. Similar in theory to sandblasting, Steelabrating is accomplished by blasting the object with steel shot or sand to remove any millscale from the surface.The result is a clean, bare housing. That's our 8-inch housing on the left with a 9-inch unit next to it for comparison. Note the size difference of the centersection and where it tapers to the axletubes. This is where most people run into problems fitting a 9-inch rear under their truck.The next step is to check the housing for straightness, and fix if necessary. Currie uses a tool made especially for each application to check for straightness and a press to massage the axletubes back into spec.
Any deflection found is remedied using a fixture mounted in a press. One of our axles was found to be bent past Currie's specs.Here's the stock axle (left) that checked out and the new Currie axle (right) to replace the bent one.The 8-inch Ford rearends came with two different gearcases. Notice the additional cast support ribs on the case to the left. Those ribs indicate that this is the stronger of the two and is something you should look for when searching for a used rear.The next step is to check the housing for straightness, and fix if necessary. Currie uses a tool made especially for each application to check for straightness and a press to massage the axletubes back into spec.Our stock differential was a two-spider unit and the new 8-inch Ford torque sensing differential (TSD) limited-slip unit features a Ford traction lock bell that has been converted to accept four spider gears.The new Currie 8-inch TSD uses a set of clutch plates to sense the torque needs of each wheel and apply it accordingly. This is what makes a limited-slip differential work so well on the street.
The TSD with the ring gear installed is now ready to rock. We went with a 3.55 gear for a good overdrive-compatible rearend.Here's another 8-inch vs. 9-inch comparison that shows the size difference between the two ring-and-pinion units. The diameter of the ring gear is where they get their name....so before anything is assembled to the housing, it's given a thorough lashing with a wire wheel before being carefully inspected and wiped down.
Our brake components were pretty spent. Thankfully, Currie offers not only a number of disc brake options, but stock drum brake replacements as well. Replacing the entire unit proved easier (and cheaper!) than rebuilding the stock items....and the four bolts that secure the retaining plate are tightened, effectively installing the axle and brake assembly.New brake drums finish off the rearend rebuild and ensure we won't need to do a brake job for some time.Currie has their own proprietary gear oil made specifically for their rearends. This includes a Limited Slip Friction Modifier for applications such as ours where a limited-slip is used.

a picture can speak a thousand words, just how many can be captured
in videos and other multimedia? That's the question we asked within
IBM Tivoli while exploring new methods for delivering technical
information to customers.
And the answer at which we kept arriving was clear: multimedia can improve the time to value for our customers. In other words, by placing more emphasis on multimedia, we can reduce the time that it takes for customers to make Tivoli products useful. That's why, on March 31, we launched the Tivoli Media Gallery, the new centralized home for multimedia about Tivoli products.
Within the Tivoli Media Gallery, you can find many different multimedia types, ranging from quick 1-5 minute video tutorials that walk you through a complex task to demos that highlight specific product features. You can even find podcasts from Tivoli subject matter experts.
The Tivoli Media Gallery centralizes all of the multimedia that is hosted by the 25 external product and solution wikis available from Tivoli Wiki Central, and it also consolidates links to media that is hosted by other sites. This includes popular resources from within IBM and beyond:
- The IBM Education Assistant
- developerWorks
- The Service Management Resource Center
- YouTube
Most of the multimedia that you find in the Tivoli Media Gallery is original content created by IBM professionals. This ranges from a ten minute demo on the Tivoli Service Availability and Performance Management solution to a one minute video tutorial on how to create a connection to the Tivoli Workload Scheduler engine.
Those are just two examples of the type of content that you might find in the Tivoli Media Gallery. To see more, visit the Tivoli Media Gallery at http://www.ibm.com/tivoli/media.
