Roma and Egyptian populations living in Albania are considered vulnerable from a socioeconomic perspective and this loan would be used to support them.
About VisionFund AlbaniaVisionFund Albania is a micro-finance subsidiary of child hunger nonprofit World Vision International. Striving to improve child welfare, the organization offers a variety of loan products designed for rural, traditionally underserved clients and their families. These products include agriculture, business and household improvement loans, as well as "integration loans" targeted to help the poorest, most vulnerable Albanian households acquire value chain resources.
While VFA is focused on the empowerment of the poor overall, it pays special attention to women. About 60% of loans to entrepreneurs on Kiva go to women.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Cost Accounting:
Department of Energy's Management of Contractor Pension and Health Benefit Costs
AFMD-90-13: Published: Aug 29, 1990. Publicly Released: Aug 29, 1990.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8341
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed Department of Energy (DOE) policies and practices regarding the reimbursement of contractors for the costs of their employees' pension and retiree health plans.
GAO found that: (1) DOE allowed contractors to establish the amount of their contributions to employee plans, as long as the contributions fell within the minimum and maximum guidelines set by law; (2) a 1987 DOE study indicated that 20 contractors had pension assets of $2 billion, about $600 million above the value of the accrued benefits; (3) DOE lacked a formal funding policy regarding contractors' pension plans, and did not systematically determine the allocation of its resources to contractors' pension plans; (4) pension plans that are funded above plan liabilities could lead to such problems as distorted pension costs, program overcharges and undercharges, participant pressure for increased benefits, and the use of pension funds to finance health care costs; (5) DOE required contractors to have site-specific pension plans or to separate accounting for pensions from contractor employees and commercial employees; (6) DOE did not ensure that contractors followed its policy that employees who transfer between plans receive a payment from each plan; (7) DOE policy did not address all aspects of postcontract payments for pension plans; and (8) DOE financial audits of contractors' site-specific plans were limited and resulted in disclaimers of opinion, limiting DOE management oversight and control over pension plan assets.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOE reviewed public comments on its draft order and issued a final order on September 30, 1996. Based on GAO's review of the newly issued DOE Order 350.1, the order is responsive to the recommendation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Energy should direct the Office of Industrial Relations to ensure that the revised DOE pension order includes a formal funding policy, encourages plan administrators to choose full-scope audits of site-specific pension plans, and addresses issues related to employee transfers and postcontract ad hoc cost-of-living adjustments.
Agency Affected: Department of Energy
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The policy on postcontract retiree health benefits is included in a new DOE Order 350.1, which was issued on September 30, 1996. Based on GAO's review of the new order, the order is responsive to the recommendation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Energy should direct the Office of Industrial Relations to develop additional policies and procedures on settling postcontract retiree health benefits that set forth the criteria for deciding at contract expiration which approach--lump-sum settlement, continued pay-as-you-go reimbursement, or transfer of employees to the successor contractor--should be used.
Agency Affected: Department of Energy
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Energy implemented a new tracking process to identify the status of all outstanding pension issues. Also, actuaries are now establishing priority lists which the Office of Industrial Relations uses to identify and accelerate action on long-standing issues. In addition, Energy resolved all pension issues that were over 1-year old.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Energy should direct the Office of Industrial Relations to evaluate the resolution process for pension issues and accelerate the resolution of those that are long-standing.
Agency Affected: Department of Energy

Dallas Cowboys: Dan Bailey wanted one more chance against Packers
ARLINGTON, Texas — Dan Bailey wanted one more opportunity.
As consistent as any NFL kicker the past two seasons, Bailey, a Lou Groza winner from Oklahoma State, booted five field goals in the Dallas Cowboys' 37-36 loss to Green Bay on Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium.
Among his five field goals were two 50-yarders. That gives Bailey six 50-yards-or-longer field goals this season, a Dallas franchise record.
"Any individual stats are a nonissue for me today," Bailey said. "This late in the season it's all about wins and losses. Obviously, points today were at a premium. It's just too bad we didn't have more."
In the first half, when both teams were struggling to sustain drives, Bailey kicked field goals of 23, 50, 47 and 43 yards to help the Cowboys build a 26-3 halftime cushion. Bailey added another 50-yarder in the third quarter.
"(Bailey) was fantastic," said Dallas coach Jason Garrett. "But sometimes that's good and bad. We gave him too many opportunities. We got in that fringe area a couple of time and couldn't (score a touchdown). But he's a great kicker."
A Yukon product who attended Southwest Covenant, Bailey has converted 17 consecutive field goals dating back to Dallas' loss Sept. 29 at San Diego.
"It's always good to string some together and get in some kind of groove," Bailey said. "Consistency is the name of the game. I just try to approach every game and every kick the same."
In his third season with the Cowboys, Bailey has converted 90.4 percent of his field goals, including 93.0 percent the past two seasons (53-of-57).
"He does his job as well as anyone on our football team," Garrett said. "He is very reliable."
Bailey is almost automatic inside 47 yards.
On field goal attempts 46 yards or closer, Bailey is 53-of-55 in his career, a sizzling 96.4 percent. His only misses were a 35-yarder earlier this season against the Rams and a 21-yard chip shot early his rookie season at San Francisco, a game he made amends with a game-winner in overtime.
"I put a lot of emphasis on longer kicks in the offseason," Bailey said. "I think that's definitely carrying over."

ment. The world can be shaken from Mount Olympus but the gods were notoriously inefficient when it came to directing the affairs of mankind. The Greeks were wise about such matters. In their remarkable body of lore, human tragedy usually originated with divine intervention and their invocations to the deities were usually prayers of propitiation--by all that is holy, leave us alone!
A semidivinity is also a personification of a people, and presidents cannot escape the process. The trouble with personification is that it depends upon abstraction and, in the course of the exercise, individual living people somehow get lost. The president becomes the nation and when he is insulted, the nation is insulted; when he has a dream, the nation has a dream; when he has an antagonist, the nation has an antagonist.
The purpose of this book is to examine the effects of this environment upon the president of the United States. This has become a matter of great urgency. It is increasingly evident that the tasks of the presidency are more and more demanding. It is also increasingly evident that presidents spend more of their time swimming in boiling political waters. There is even a respectable body of thought which holds that the problems are out of control and that, in the present context, the nation must look forward to a series of one-term persidents, incapable of holding the office for more than four years.
As a general rule, efforts to remedy the deficiencies of the presidency center on proposals to bring a greater administrative efficiency to the White House itself. It is held that the problems would become manageable if the president had better tools at his command. In my mind there is a strong suspicion that the problems are no more unmanageable today than they have been in the past. They are, of course, bigger in terms of consequence. But they are still decision rather than management problems. Perhaps a more fruitful path lies in an exploration of the extent to which the atmosphere of the White House degrades a man's political instincts and abilities. Our thoughts should be centered not on electronic brains but on the forces that would foster the oldest, the noblest, and the most vital of all human arts--the art of politics.
Gabriel Kolko. The men of power.
To comprehend the nature and function of power in America is to uncover a critical analytic tool for assessing the character of the American historical experience and the role of the United States in the modern world. The failure of most of an entire generation of American intellectuals and scholars to make the phenomenon of power a central concern has permitted a fog of obscuritanism and irrelevance to descend upon the study of American life in the twentieth century.
Stated simply, the question is: What are the political and economic dimensions of power in American society, how does power function, and who benefits from it? The correlations of these structural aspects of power are either curious or critical, incidental, and perhaps colorful, or of decisive importance. The structure of power may be described empirically, but power may also reflect a more elusive configuration of social attitudes and forces that makes it possible for one class to prevail in American history--or it may involve aspects of both the tangible and the intangible.
For the most part, the handful of students of American power have concentrated on the investigation of the social status and origins of men of power, an exercise that has meaning only if one can show distinctive political behavior on the part of men of power with lower social status. Indeed, one must assess the psychology of decision- makers, the genesis of their power, and the source of their conduct in the context of the

Discussion in 'Political Zone' started by theogt, Sep 8, 2008.
Seems a bit high, but ...
McCain should be up about 3-5, and probably back to tied by the end of the week. This poll was a head-scratcher. I'd be surprised if any others look like this today.
Obama has to be worried. Outside of knockouts in the debate, he is in trouble.
Yes Obama is in trouble because he is behind some poll in September:bang2:
Why wouldn't he be? You do understand that one of the biggest ? for Obama is going to be the debates. How well does he know the issues or is it going to be "change" over and over again....
Well see, but even though it's Sept. - If I were Obama, I'd be worried.
You do realize they have debates during the primaries, right? He's already gone toe-to-toe with Hillary, Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, and plenty of others who are supposed to know the issues more than him, and he seemed to come out just fine despite starting with large deficits in the polls.
McCain is getting his VP and Convention bounces. 10 points is probably pretty inaccurate (Rasmussen has McCain +1, Gallup has +3), but a modest McCain lead is expected. Those numbers will come back down, probably by the end of the week, and we'll be back where we were before -- nearly tied, possibly with a slight Obama lead, heading into the debates.
Both candidates have their own weaknesses there, so there's a lot at stake for each of them. Should be interesting.
McCain just needs to keep his cool and keep asking why in this very dangerous world do you want to have a rookie at QB when you could have an experienced vet instead.
At this point in time, polls don't mean much. We still have a long way to go, but this is promising.
Polls this early are usually non issues. However, the problem for Obama and this poll is the sampling. Unlike other polls that use "registered voters" This is among "Likely Voters". And that 10 points is huge.
As I said in another thread, I think McCain wins going away and I predicted 8 points and that was before this poll came out.
As I stated several months back, this race is McCain's to lose.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
I thought you were crazy but not for that reason.
I agreed with that several months back, but now I think it's Obama's to lose...
This is the strangest presidential race I can ever remember...
Actually Trick, it's no so strange. When you run a guy who is that far left of center and then add to that his questionable associations, then put into the equation a very outspoken wife who up until very recently was ashamed of her country her whole life, you have the making for this. As the American people see through the media bias and the hatchet jobs they are doing on a good person like Palin, they will come to understand the true ideals behind these people and the polls will begin to show that.
Like I said, McCain will win this going away.
Not too much to choose from there, so thats not saying too much.
I suppose this can be chalked up to a convention bounce and a very lousy week for Obama in general, still it seems inevitable that it will tighten up within a couple of weeks time yet again heading into the debates.
I'm sure it will tighten up in most polls. The thing to watch is what kinds of polls. If it's the normal polling that uses a general population it's really meaningless. There are no controls in those kinds of polls. If you get one with registered voters, it may be a bit more telling but there are many people who stay on the registration rolls for years without casting a vote.
Again, the ones to watch are the ones with likely voters. Of course, the internal polling of the campaigns is really where the score is truly known, because they are much more specific. We however won't know the results of those polls until after the election.
I'm not much into polls because they tend to change quickly especially national polls. I will say the numbers are encouraging for McCain and when you get down to state polls in some of the battle ground states like Ohio McCain is currently leading by a decent margin bodes even better for him. With over 50 days left until the election there is no doubt we will continue to see these polls move up and down. No matter how you cut it this is going to be another close election.

text: The ECS KN1 Extreme is an excellent board in many respects. Feature-wise, the only major feature the board is missing is SLI support. From my perspective, the ECS KN1 Extreme delivers a fast, overclockable board that I can easily recommend. Performance is mostly stellar, with the strange exception of PCMark04. I can't account for the performance difference between that benchmark and the other boards I've tested. Negatives of the board include the positioning of the floppy disk drive connector and the bundle not having the maximum 80-pin IDE cables, minor issues on an otherwise excellent board. The Top Hat BIOS chip is an excellent idea that should be implemented by others. The Top Hat BIOS chip saved my bacon on the board and I believe more manufacturers should follow ECS's example as it can prevent a BIOS crash from requiring a board replacement. This board came very close to an Editor's Choice award and only missed the criteria by a few points so its no slouch. The boards price hovers at around $100.00 give or take a buck or so, making it an affordable as well as functional product.

love this one, every single thing about it!
Awesome, awesome drawing~!!
Great, although the perspective is a bit overexagerrated.
great depth
Holy $.. Great man..

Looks too awesome. How about coming up with a digital version? Again kudos with the illumination... Is that a second archer in the rooftop?
Thank you!
Yes that is a second archer up there
this took a long time, I make it a point never to draw the same scene twice. Pencil is my natural habitat, probably the only reason why I was able to even finish this xD

@_@ i love this... the feel it brings.. reminds me of age of empires and majesty X3
nice work

nice work
maybe even zelda...
now long did this take bro? textures are spot on, love the shading. . and that bridge on the left is awesome. my main crits would be to widen the gap between the VP's so as not to cramp the drawing too much, causing some distortion - or maybe just the top VP or the right VP, and use wider paper in a landscape format (but i stress that these crits are just based on personal tastes,). you certainly know your structural elements.
Thanks mate! I generally keep my VP's on the paper so I don't lose them, although it still happens all the time anyway. This drawing took a few days to do, and I did it a while ago so I don't exactly remember how long it took.
Thank you for the crit!
Thank you for the crit!
Great drawing! I really like it a lot
All you need to do now is press the "win" button.
This is so awesome.. Would really love to see more stuff like this from you
great job!!
Wow! I ike the point of view. Great composition!
Love the perspective!
Amazingly detailed piece! And yes, with a little twist with the story in it, I love it!
I've just been killed by awesomeness! Annnghh.. uh... arg... blerr... *plot!*
Reminds me of that old PC game 'Thief'... A blast from the past. Awesomeness.
Well....This certainly broke the Badass scale
this is awesome ), totally
you're lying.......
Am I?
you are defiantly a concept artist for demon souls........
Never even played it
Heard it's way hard though
Never even played it
Heard it's way hard though
stupidly hard , on new game + those 3 fuckers would 1 shot you with an attack that wasn't their weakest if you didn't have full health , and if trying to take on all 3 of them at a time wasn't bad enough going through it the first time you wouldn't know the spawn locations and those bastard ninjas would just throw a ninja star at you and not get knock back when you attack them as they're attacking or they would hit you with a full stamina draining kick if you were blocking it and if you didn't have full stamina it would knock you back and you would take half dmg anyways........
you'll probably know the part in the game im talking about if you ever did play it........

Kevin Lee took the top spot at the 24th Annual Long Beach Open as low-scoring amateur. (Photo courtesy of Bob Livingstone)
July 27, 2014
LONG BEACH - Kevin Lee fired a 14-under-par 274 to tie for 10th place at the 24th Annual Long Beach Open on Sunday to win as top amateur at El Dorado Park Golf Course.
Lee fired rounds of 68 for his first three rounds until closing out the tournament with a 70. The soon-to-be junior was among seven amateurs and 60 professional golfers that made the cut after 36 holes.
The four-day, 72-hole tournament was contested at El Dorado Park and Skylinks Golf Courses that was hosted by American Golf and the City of Long Beach Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine.
"This is my first time playing (in the Open)," Lee said. "And for me to come out and become the low-scoring amateur is an honor."

Sacred Harp Sessions: A Passion Project
Kelly Thomas continues tribute to her influences, plus Kelly Richey adds Freekbass to trio
Mike Breen
0 Comments · Friday, January 4, 2013
Kelly Thomas continues The Sacred Harp Sessions, her tribute to the people and music that have influenced her life and career. Plus, The Kelly Richey Band becomes a power trio with the addition of drummer Jyn Yates and Funk master Freekbass on bass.

Local Funkmaster Joins Local Bluesmaster's Band
Chris Sherman of funky Cincy bands Freekbass and Freekbot joins Jyn Yates as Kelly Richey Band's new rhythm section
While not necessarily "weird," when fans discovered that bad-ass, longtime local Blues artist Kelly Richey had started a side-business as a "life coach," undoubtedly a few thought they misheard or misread. It's not really a logical step from stunning Blues guitarist and vocalist to personal life coach for hire. Likewise, when I first got an email about the new lineup of Richey's band, I did a double take. Again, not that it was particularly unusual news — I just didn't see it coming. (The music world could use a lot more moments like that.)Joining Richey in the new version of KRB is experienced drummer Jyn Yates from Kentucky and Chris Sherman, the guiding force behind popular local Funk group Freekbass (and his new duo project, Freekbot). While Sherman (who goes by his stage name, Freekbass) is best known for his huge Funk grooves, dabbling in modern EDM and rather flamboyant stage outfits at times, Richey's sound skates the line between hard Blues and Rock; the most flash from her live shows come from out of her fingers as she plays and mouth as she sings.On the surface, the pairing seems on par with Buckethead joining Bonnie Raitt's band or Flea sitting in with Stevie Ray Vaughan. In other words, it should be quite interesting to hear what the trio comes up with. The first single, "Fast Drivin' Mama," offers a hint — the song is a rocking slice of riffing Blues Funk. It's not drastically different from Richey's usual sound, but the groove is appropriately huge. Here's the debut single/video for "Mama":The new KRB trio was assembled to record the next Kelly Richey Band album, which the musicians have been working on at Shangri-La Studios in Lexington, Ky. The album — Sweet Spirit — is scheduled for release March 1, followed by tour dates that will take them from Florida to Canada. The trio's debut show is Saturday in Northern Illinois (Mishawaka, to be exact), but local fans won't have to wait long to check out the new KRB. The group performs on Jan. 11 at Legends Nightclub in Cheviot. Showtime is 8 p.m. and there is a $10 cover at the door.

'Bot Rockin' Beats

If a duo can qualify as a "supergroup," then Freekbot is a legit local music supergroup. Freekbot features Freekbass (a.k.a. bassist/singer Chris Sherman of Funk crew Freekbass) and Tobotius (a.k.a. Tobe Donohue, producer and founder of world-renowned turntable crew Animal Crackers) in an Electronic duo configuration.

These days, Freekbass' outrage is contextualized by his formidable musical skills, particularly on bass, the instrument that has earned him global attention. His local back story is well documented — befriended by Bootsy Collins, band gigs with Sleep Theatre and SHAG, a burgeoning solo career, sessions and tours with the likes of Buckethead, Bootsy and countless others — but his most recent project might raise his profile to previously unimagined heights.

Chris Sherman (aka Freekbass) and his Funk band (aka Freekbass) maintain one of the most consistent touring schedules of any band based in Cincinnati. Soon, Freekbass (the man, not the band) will be getting a lot busier, especially if his new "all star" group takes off.

Promoting Health and Wellness
Our employees are at the heart of our company, and their continued long-term health and productivity are vital to our success. That's why we provide immediate, on-the-job help to support employees' short-and long-term wellness. Driven by Global Health Resources, our companywide Mission:Health initiative offers comprehensive programs, services and resources for employees and their families to promote a culture of health. We made great strides in 2014 to help ensure our employees stayed healthy — both physically and emotionally.
Promoting health — at home and on the job
We are now in our second decade of Wellness, Worklife and Employee Assistance Programs. In 2014's "Eat. Move. Sleep." campaign, mailed direct to employee homes, we asked employees to share three personal goals involving fitness, sleep and nutrition.
Thirty-five worksites participated in our annual Healthy Worksite award, which measures and recognizes locations that actively engage in supporting employee health and make wellness a priority. Today, about 47,000 of our employees work at Healthy Worksite facilities.
Employee surveys show we've saved a total of 2,798 days because of the availability of the Bright Horizons® back-up child and adult care services. Our Liferesources program reports nearly 1,113 hours saved in 2014 from before and after surveys given to employees who took advantage of services.
Recognition and reward for wellness
We're proud to once again receive the American Heart Association® Fit Friendly Gold Award, which recognizes companies that fulfill wellness criteria and promote a culture of wellness.
And we've seen even better employee participation after the 2013 introduction of our first financial incentive for completing on-site screenings and online assessments to help employees identify potential issues and practices to improve their lifestyles.
We surpassed 2013 employee participation in our on-site health screenings, with 37.5 percent of eligible employees completing on-site screening and/or a preventative exam. That's up 6 percent year over year, and we reached 97 percent of our 2014 goal.
- In 2014, 15,745 employees and 4,470 spouses received a wellness reward; we are at 99 percent of our participation goal
- 20,587 employees completed an onsite screening and/or a preventative exam; that's 110 percent of our 2014 goal employees
- 17,897 employees completed an employee health assessment; this puts us at 98 percent of our goal
Implementing and achieving excellence
In 2014, we introduced a new model for clinical service delivery across our 27 health service locations. The effort was a Raytheon Six Sigma™ (R6s) project to drive efficiency, consistency, quality and scalability of services with a focus on optimal delivery of business and employee value-added service, crisis management, and emergency response and support.
We were also awarded the Americas Expatriate Management and Mobility Award for Best Practice in Challenging Locations by the Forum for Expatriate Management. The award honors organizations that have well-designed programs and policies for risk and continuity management, and that are able to respond rapidly to medical emergencies.
There's doctor in the a house
Raytheon's commitment to employee health is punctuated by the presence of our Chief Medical Officer — Dr. Sandra Stratford, MD, MSc. A Board-certified specialist in occupational medicine, Dr. Stratford became Raytheon's Chief Medical Officer and head of Global Health Resources in 2007. She is responsible for Raytheon's 27 health service locations, preventive health and wellness services, international health management and business support, and crisis management and WorkLife/Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services.

Nice low power board
This review is from: Intel BOXD201GLYL Intel Celeron 215 SiS 662 Micro ATX Motherboard/CPU Combo
Pros: I am using this board to host my Skype/IM server. Since it uses less power than a 30 watt lightbulb, I an go green. I installed it into a case which used to house my AMD XP1800 mb, and what a difference! Because of reduced heat generation, I could remove 2 of my case fans.
Cons: Don't try installing Windows 2000 on this. I wasted 6 hours on this. The LAN may fail upon boot up due to a bug in XP SP2, but there is patch from Microsoft for this (see the Intel mobo support site). Note that the patch will not work if you have SP3 or greater installed!
Other Thoughts: Don't expect this mb to be a speed champ. Geekbench rates my machine at half the speed of a 3gb E2160 rig.

Election-Year Fight Over What's Next In Probe Of Quinn's NRI By Amanda Vinicky • Jul 16, 2014 After a day-long meeting Wednesday, a legislative commission will meet again Thursday morning in Chicago.

Pat Quinn's controversial anti-violence program. Mammography In 3D By Amanda Vinicky • Oct 30, 2013 File photo Illinois requires insurance companies to cover routine mammograms, but that doesn't necessarily include a new method of detecting breast cancer. A mammogram is a low-dose of x-rays doctors use to spot breast cancer. An important tool, to be sure, but one that can result in false-positives. Dr. Sarah Friedewald says that'll happen a lot less if women also get a 3D mammogram. Likewise, she says, the new technology makes it easier to spot abnormalities. New Law To Ban Hand Held Phone Use While Driving By Associated Press • Aug 16, 2013 Using a hand-held cell phone while driving in Illinois will be illegal on Jan. 1. Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Friday aimed at reducing distracted driving. It requires motorists to use speaker phones or headsets that allow for one-digit or audio dialing. Illinois joins 11 other states and Washington, D.C. in banning hand-held phone use on the road. Texting while driving is already illegal in Illinois. Sen. John Mulroe -- a Chicago Democrat and sponsor -- says he wants motorists to ``keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel.''

To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirl'd away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;
The forest crack'd, the waters curl'd,
The cattle huddled on the lea;
And wildly dash'd on tower and tree
The sunbeam strikes along the world:
And but for fancies, which aver
That all thy motions gently pass
Athwart a plane of molten glass,
I scarce could brook the strain and stir
That makes the barren branches loud;
And but for fear it is not so,
The wild unrest that lives in woe
Would dote and pore on yonder cloud
That rises upward always higher,
And onward drags a labouring breast,
And topples round the dreary west,
A looming bastion fringed with fire.
Provide your analysis, explanation, meaning, interpretation, and comments on the poem In Memoriam A. H. H.: 15. To-night the winds begin to rise here.

The Most Beautiful Experiment
Quantum physics informs us that a system exists in superposition — that is, in all possible states — until we observe that it is only in one specific state.
According to a 2002 poll of Physics World readers, the "most beautiful experiment" in physics is one that simply and elegantly demonstrates how observation affects quantum systems: The double slit experiment. The double slit sets aside causality, determinism, and the notion that reality is "out there" as it blurs the line between the observer and the system being observed.
In the double slit experiment, a series of single photons (light particles) are fired at a solid plate that has two slits. On the other side of the solid plate, a photographic plate is set up to record what comes through those slits.
The question: What will we see on the photographic plate?
The answer: If one neglects to observe which slit a photon passes through, it appears to interfere with itself, suggesting that it behaves as a wave by traveling through both slits at once. But, if one chooses to observe the slits, the interference pattern disappears, and each photon travels through only one of the slits.
The formation of the interference pattern requires the existence of two slits… But how can a single photon pass through two slits simultaneously? At that point, we are forced to consider each photon as a wave that travels through both slits… Or we have to think of the photon as splitting and going through each slit separately — and wondering how the photon "knows" a pair of slits is coming.
The only solution is to abandon the idea of a photon — or any other quantum system — as having a location in spacetime until it is observed.

I am trying to figure out the truth about the current understanding of quantum physics. From my understanding nothing can be measured without at some level interfering with what is being measured. Do you know the details of how they measured which slit the photon goes through and how it may interfere with the behavior of the photon? Thanks.
what about the reductionist approach? suppose I eliminate one intelligent being after another…when I finally eliminate myself, will the universe 'as we know it' still exist? will the bullet which blew my brain, continue to follow a newtonian trajectory? I think yes.
I had trouble understanding this experiment at first, but on YouTube there is a cartoon like video from Fred A Wolf (Dr Quantum) than explained it perfectly. It was the understanding of this experiment and how consciousness plays such an active role in our realities that has me so turned on to QP. Love the site!
Has anyone that you know of conducted the experiment to alter the observed effect with intent, rather than observing, actually manipulating the outcome by thought?
I was a chiropractor for horses, and on the journey of life figured out how to adjust, or heal by thought.
I realized that some of the misalignments of certain joints, particularly the Jaw, were being caused by my own observations, which eventually turned into a very common malady.
When I realized that I had created this outcome, I then changed my thought about this particular mis-alignment, afterwards, it has been a rare ocourence.
I guess now I would be considered a non observer to this particular joint.
We are given such a gift, so simple, that it seems phenomenally difficult.
My little story here is what prompts my question about the experiment.
Thank you, Love your work here and look forward to watching your youtube videos
What could be the possible implication of this in 'real life' i.e in all practicality?
It is hard for me to understand the implication of observation affecting reality. How is it that observation is defined? Is it to be able to perceive the outcome through our senses? What about when the subject in question (the photon) cannot be detected by our fundamental senses? Well, we can put a camera by the slit and record and data to extend our perception. But what if we put the camera there, but delete the data without looking at it? Have we still observed it?
If we were to do the same experiment with small marbles, why wouldn't we get the interference pattern? You could say that we are observing the marbles as we see each of them go through a slit. Well, what if we all turn our backs to it, and cover our ears, so there is no way to know what path the marble took?
How do you define observation really?
I have been watching and thinking about many of the theories, The String Theory, M Theory, The Measurement Problem, etc. I like the idea about multi Universes and the Big Bang could strongly have come from two different universes membrains crossed paths or collided to create a new membrain/universe. This to me still makes me think that we're part of something else even bigger.Outside the multiverses there is what I call a megaverse etc. This is what is very close to, what seems to me, that cells do. Is it speculated that when these two membrains collide, is it borrowing energy from each? kind like when a sperm meets an egg? or is it creating it's own?
What would happen if you cut the photographic plate in two, and moved one half closer to the slit directly in front of it? Wouldn't that also constitute an observation (to see if the photon went through the corresponding slit) and 'collapse the wavefunction'?
I am following you so far but I would like to take it a little further.
Question: Are they watching the screen as they perform this test, if so would that not be considered an observation and thus collapsing the wave function at that point in time rather that just at the detectors?
Question: The Delayed Choice experiment reveals that it can be observed and still provide an interference pattern, it is only when the data is know to the tester that the wave function collapses. So it would seem that it is not mere observation that alters the state but rather it is from our knowledge of it that reduces it from a wave to a particle. This does not deflate the experiment because it is by our observation that we come to know which slit it go through but it certainly complicates the issue and demands that we take it further as to just how we create our reality, is it just by our observation or is it through some deeper conscious act such as knowing? And if so, what does that mean?
Thanks in advance
The double slit experiment is over 200 years old when Thomas Young first performed it in 1801 since then and in more recent times the experiment has been revised to your liking look up double slit delayed choice, it answers just exactly what you were talking about.
Interesting. It appears that small subatomic particles move in synchronicity with one another due to their wave vibrations matching as a function of their nature. Our own subatomic particles must vibrate at a rate close to the emission source in order to be detected by us allowing for thought waves to form and resonate at the same rate. Such an event would cause a synchronicity between ourselves and the particles. This is the first evidence for the reality of thought waves in physical space. It appears that particles this small are subject to connection with us. Larger objects tend to follow the law of relativity. The missing link is how gravity and larger object tie back into the smaller world of quantum mechanics. One possible explanation is that space can only hold so much "matter" in any one point in time. If the density of matter exceeds the carrying capacity at any one point in time, no matter how tiny, we get a temporal and thus dimensional shift, of equally tiny magnitude but of enormous scope. It is possible that concentrated thought waves could create a super miniature black hole and shift time and space for those around it into a new dimension very much like the one they left. It is also evident that vibrational levels determine the nature of the shift. Apparently like vibrations are attracted to like vibrations. We can create miniature worm holes that move us through time and space. If enough people have concentrated thoughts about the same thing over time, the worm hole can become quite large, perhaps becoming large enough to actually see at some point. All conjecture on my part, but interesting.
I've been reading about this for only a very short time, but it is probably the most interesting and beautiful thing I've ever come across. I been experiencing an appreciation for physics that I havn't felt since before my teachers tried their very hardest to completely ruin it in school. I've been looking to do something more fulfilling, perhaps a physics degree wouldn't be such a bad thing. This website is great, thankyou.

[…] on to the double slit experiment (worthy of a repeat here, and here) observing something materially affects it's effect on the world. I repeat, […]
I think that QM doesn't say that a system exists in all possible states. I think that it says it can exist in any possible state. that is, according to the original 1930s statements that seem to be terribly misinterpreted.
then theres these baseless assumptions:
#photons are a single particle – despite the fact that they behave as if they were a tiny electromagnetic dipole.
#the photon must pass through both slits for interference to be generated – despite physicists having no idea how it happens.
Could one extrapolate from this that matter only exists when we are looking at it? Do we actually live in The Matrix? I actually get a little queasy thinking about this experiment and another one where a series of particles' rotation rates are measured (after it has been proven that they slow down when observed but are the same normally) before a few are chosen for random observation in the second part of the experiment, the particles that WERE TO BE OBSERVED in the LATER STAGE of the experiment had ALREADY SLOWED DOWN before the first measurement! WHY?
Good day, Fascinating site. If that which creates reality, being the atoms change from being waves the being particles depending on whether or not we are observing them. The question I wonder is if the observer is different is the atom different? I do work with the use of psychedelic drugs and reality. On a powerful psychedelic a person often "leaves" where they are and find themselves in a totally different place/environment, interacting with different beings. Reality changes. One could say that the psychedelic action on the brain changes what the atoms become thus creating an entirely new reality. So just like the electrons, photons are a many places at the same time, we could say so are we. Our bodies are here in this world when we sleep, but in a dream we are still with our bodies and when we are on psychedelics we are still with out bodies.
Matter exist in two condition.
1)Manifest condition
2)Un-manifest condition
Manifest———Universe is created.
Un-manifest—–Universe is annihilated.
Matter tendency is to increase disorder without a conscious being.
Conscious being activates matter by injecting consciousness into it.
Right after the big-bang occurred,universe expanded from a point to infinity.(In no time )
Physics says that nothing is faster than speed of light i.e 300 km/sec.
So,it is consciousness which creates universe.
[…] thực nghiệm "thông điệp từ nước", hay các thí nghiệm về lưỡng tính sóng hạt cùng sự ảnh hưởng của những người tham gia lên photon, cũng như hàng loạt những thực chứng […]
i am impressed with the theory of the double slit..the observer theory is potent and carries weight ,on a philosphical note…"we are but the weight of our own thoughts'…weight here emphasises our "existence"… we exist as an affect of higher concious thought…since our existence is the affect…what about the cause…?
In the first condition an observer is present "behind" the experiment or after it is over (on the film) if preferred. Yet the result is a wave. In the second condition the observer (he /she/ it) is between the the gun and the record.
Does it not follow that it is a positional (mechanical) effect? The observer is present in both conditions.
Apparently the observer / measurement need not be conscious and could be completely removed from the situation by never looking at the results or observed / measurement. If the same results are obtained with no observer then here too it must be mechanical not a result of measuring or observing.
These things seem so obvious to me that someone must have addressed them. Thanks for correcting my lack of knowledge.
I need to correct my statement. In the second condition the mechanical observer could be present and recording but no one would review the results of this recording. The only thing to be seen would be the results as in condition one. In this way the "observer" is removed from the study. If the traditional results are obtained it is not due to an observer. It may be the act of "measuring" but not the act of "observing."
Something must be wrong with my thinking because I can find no reference to this type of study
Apparently the study I suggested has been conducted as presented by Carl Shaw on TED conversations July 30, 2012 part 2. Here is the URL
"The results clearly show that WHEN the 'which-slit' information is available to the experimental conductor – the (fig 5) photons exhibit particle like behaviour. When the information is collected BUT SUBSEQUENTLY destroyed (randomly by the clever use of 50% mirrors) (figs 3 & 4) then the photons exhibit wave-like interference patterns.
Therefore I think that the experiment clearly shows that it is ONLY WHEN information is made available to a CONSCIOUS OBSERVER that the light becomes a particle."
A conscious observer is required…… Hmmm
Let's see, will this device work? "The someonelookedomatic".
The double slit device is setup so that whenever a particle is detected going through one of the slits a light bulb inside a large vault flashes. Another sensor detects weather or not the resulting particle is "out of bounds" on the target. When an out of bounds particle is not detected in 2 seconds then an alarm goes off. For arguments sake the particles are fired at a rate off about 3 per second. The safe door is then closed and the device is activated.
– Is it correct to expect that the alarm will not often sound when the safe door is closed because it is likely that at least 1 particle in 6 will be out of bounds every two seconds since there is no permanent record or observation of the led light ocuring.
– Is it correct to assume that once a robber opens the door and looks inside accidentally noticing the flashing light that the alarm will sound?
– Does the robber have to know that the led light is connected in some way to the experiment or alarm for the function to collapse?
– If the flashing led light is green versus red. Will the robbers assumption of what the light signifies cause the alarm to sound or not sound even though he does not know that a double slit experiment is involved?
Can a regular person off the street easily test the observation phenomenon? I really want to play with such a device.
is it possible that the observer's mass is affecting the electron (via a gravity pull that all objects possess)? or perhaps if it's a metal camera, could it be the material interfering?
So, it is possible the cows do stand up after the car goes by. Just a joke. But there are infinite possibilities of outcomes and realities being influenced by one person.
Ok, so when the observer is not present we get an interference pattern, but when we have an observer the results are as expected.
Does this mean that if the observer expects an interference pattern, perhaps because of different education, that it would have those results instead?
In other words, is my understanding correct that the reason the particles behave this way is because that is how logical scientists think the particles should act?
Hi there, i am currently interested in the observer effect and i have some questions. First of all i would like to mention that my field has nothing to do with physics so excuse me if i make any "dummie " question. Yet i am in the beginning of my small research for quantum physics and it would be great if you could give me some answers. So as i was watching the observer experiment i was confused about the probabilities. If probabilities are all over the place why photons go to a specific direction (lines)? I understand that photons behave like waves but why don't they go all over the place on the photographic plate?
hi, can someone kindly answer my questions: in this experiment the photon acts like a wave without any observation, and a particle whilst observed, does this mean the primary behaviour of a photon as it leaves its source is a wave? and will this be true to all quantum matter?
Yes, the implication then, is that an "0bserver" is responsible for all matter created from the Big Bang, the Bang itself, and the subsequent matter we are NOT directly observing in the universe today. Basically a universal consciousness; Rubbing up against theology in that case. Another school of thought holds that matter is naturally always in its wave state and only collapses into form/matter when a conscious entity looks at it. Meaning the universe disappears when we aren't paying attention to it. This presupposes that matter in its wave form functions the same as in material form, I.e., a planet or star continues doing it's thing regardless if it is being observed or not. Messy concept. KEY point to keep in mind: "wave" in this case doesn't mean strictly like waves in water, but in frequency of vibration and possibility of position at any given moment.
Time and space are intertwined. A probability wave occurs when matter goes unrecorded or unmonitored. Could the future be a probability wave? In the double slit experiment, when unmonitored, the particles hit the sheet at every possible location they potentially could. Their waves of potential showed both their ideal paths and the paths if they ran into trouble. If they bounced off of something. If something went wrong. But when monitored, the paths they took were always the paths of last resistance. The paths they SHOULD have taken if there was nothing to interfere with their trajectory. If our future is a probability wave, then our PRESENT is the effects of a monitored moment in time. We are all our own recording devices of each moment in time. So each of our realities that we experience are paths of least resistance. In my reality I've never been seriously injured. I've never even broken a bone. Tomorrow I could hear that you've been diagnosed with terminal cancer. That you're going to die. That's OK because my reality, my path of least resistance allows me to keep on going and experiencing or creating the next moment. However in your reality you never get that diagnosis. Because, where that potential existed in your future probability wave, your own recording device on your moment in the present is always taking the path of least resistance. So even if you responded to this very message and told me that I was wrong and that you had indeed been diagnosed with cancer and it was terminal it would not matter because it is still my reality and not yours.
Does a conscious observer actually have to sit there and watch the experiment for this effect to be produced? Or does an unconscious observer effect the same result?
What if an unconscious observer learns the answer but then deletes the information before it is observed?
Everything does root back to the mind eventually.
The Future's Lost Memories
Just because something is incomprehensible or different does not mean that it is not necessarily right. In fact, it is the one who determines it incomprehensive that makes its existence sound in the first place. In other words, there is no problem if no one sees it as a problem, and there is no solution if there is no problem. Furthermore, the ones who claim it incomprehensible are incomprehensive towards the incomprehensible. If there is a 10% chance that one believes something is impossible, then they make up 90% of the reason why it can't be done. Everything is visible, it is just the individual's choice whether to see or not. Everything only exists because we interpret it as such, and reality is whatever we observe to be reality. It is safe to say that without interpretation, nothing exists.
Just because there are laws doesn't mean that there are exact boundaries. In other words, laws were made to expose boundaries we cannot go beyond, thus proving that there is something on the other side that created the boundary being exposed. The boundary is also there before the law… always. The only reason that laws form is to prevent something that causes whatever's outside to differ.
Various boundaries including the one boundary that has not yet to be ruled or lawed over. The boundary of death. "What exactly happens when we die?" one might ask. The questions really are: When do we die? Why do we die? Who is the killer? But the main question is "Do we even die?". People see death as the extermination of a being, but died is not the RIGHT word. Probably transferred. Well not that it matters, but this is a boundary that extends beyond physical evolution. There is no observer to come back and tell what EXACTLY happens after death… and even if there was, it would be hard to understand. In other words… stop worrying about it. One should live life to just because they have a life to live. The reason why one should live is to find the reason why they haven't died yet. If people believe that we were born to die, then I guess I'm the only one who would die twice just to live again. One should want to forget about the dreadfulness of the past and ignore the anxiety of the future. The present is what holds reality together, and it is the Gift that brought reality in the first place.
Everything depends on interpretation. Interpretation is its own measurement in itself with no exact or definite measurement system. It can measure the thoughts of others, the color of the sky, the words from a book, and even the reason why things happen the way they do. Interpretation is one of the strongest concepts of reasoning and reality, but there is one thing that it cannot measure. The feelings of others. Though the thoughts of a person can be easily figured out, it is physically impossible to find out exactly what one is feeling. In fact, there is no EXACTNESS to feelings at all, just as there is no such thing as an exact measurement. Feelings are things that can only be interpreted by the one wielding them. For it is the feelings of someone that gives them an actual will, the most powerful force of all. When someone starts to interpret their own feelings and put them into effective action, they break through the first boundary…into something genuine. This tranquility is what every person, or philosopher rather, is in search of. It doesn't have to be an object, place, or person. It might as well just be a state of mind in which reality is so peaceful, that the waters in the oceans mirror the starry night sky without fault or refraction. This is known as the Essence of The Alchemist, where all possibilities are open, and time stands so still that even infinity repeats.
If a computer randomly generated a series of double slit experiments choosing each time whether to observe the slit or not and no human observer was around at the time and did not look at the information generated until say several years later how would the observer effect happen?
Where can a person observe the double slit experiment being exectuted (including the observation of the photon/electron being observed) either on line or in person?
I wonder if the observer effect is actually the observers beliefs of what will happen hold true and happen. Thusly has anyone done an experiment with someone who actually believes that the photon will behave like a wave? This would make every observation subject to trusting that the observer actually observed what they say they observed (if someone who believed differently observed same then their act of observation would contaminate the experiment) and then also whether they believe or do not believe what they claim they believe. In essense it makes any observed fact subject to trust in the observer, which is obviously true to sceptics but for entirely different, motive free reasons. Basically the implications are that nothing in the physical universe is ever truly known definitively or beyond debate.
Doesn't this experiment call into question the materialist basis of our entire scientific method?
If observation fundamentally alters reality in this basic experiment it clearly leaves open the possibility of any number of philosophical models of "reality".
What is the mechanism by which this seemingly magical effect occurs?
Pairing this with quantum entanglement leaves nearly everything open to question.
I'm fascinated that these effects are seemingly internalized by mainstream science without really exploring the fundamental questions it raises about the very nature of "knowing".
In short these effects leave open the possibility that we have very very little idea about the nature of reality.
And, to get crazy, the possibility that dark energy could be consciousness.
The prevailing view of consciousness as simply an objective product of understood physical process could be absolutely wrong.
Your comment is well taken, joining a growing sense in the West that Consciousness is the only reality; the Prime Mover. Eastern thought variously describes matter and existence as a dream state (of Consciousness) or that we are the creator's method of experiencing itself, etc. You get the drift. It's no joke that the fellows at Cern are looking into the meditative abilities of Monks, as a tool for exploring consciousness' effect on the material world. The two disciplines are seeing the same thing.
That said, Dark Energy exhibits a force, tending to expand the universe, pushing the galaxies and clusters, farther and farther apart, even as Dark Matter tends to help them form and stay in clumps. Once the star era of the universe is over– it has a very, very, very long "time" to exists until it runs out of matter energy. What will Consciousness need of that?
Hi Kelly,
Some very interesting discussions on here. I remember first hearing of the Quantum double slit experiment when I was a student and thinking it was pretty strange, but not for long because I always understood energy, matter and consciousness were basically the same stuff. The difficulty it talking to scientists about consciousness without them thinking you're "On a trip". Here's my attempt to do just that! https://www.theideastring.com/electron-tendency/ Any comments folks?
Very interesting to entertain the idea of consciousness as a minutely fundamental building block. You posit that an electron in its wave/particle existence would have enough of it to "sense" the other slit (which would mean it had a "sense" of self in order to notice) and it reacts with a wobble, which creates the wave pattern. Would this consciousness building block be quantifiable in the way we quantify energy? Or should it be a "field" ala the Higgs Field, and be a medium on which it is aggregated as material forms become very complex, such as the human mind?
