"5star read"
After hundreds of hours of listening to audiobooks (I do all my exercising, housework and driving listening) this is the first book I've ever given 5 stars to!
"Fantastic mysterious classic"
A story that reveals itself by steps, the father and grandfather of so many later SF elements, this is definitely worth reading.
I imagined the flat narration performance as being read by Stephen Hawking to not mind it too much. The other characters' voices were fine.
This would be a perfect 5 stars from almost all reviewers if the performance had been more dynamic.
"what a horrible scifi book"
it did not have anything. the science parts were shallow. no real suspense. some parts plain stupid
"Narrator is perfect fine"
After reading the multiple reviews criticizing the narrator for this book I was hesitant to purchase it. If you feel the same way, forget it - I'm several chapters into the book, and I don't know what these reviewers have against the narrator, but he is perfectly fine. He is not great, not terrible, a perfectly fine middle-of-the-road narrator. I would not hesitate to purchase another book read by him. The criticisms of him here are completely off the mark.
"Loved the book, loved the narration"
I see the complaints about the narration so it's only fair to give counterpoint. I've listened to this book 50 times (approx.) and love it each time. The narration really only suffers from the writing which is quite dry at times (typical AcClarke) as there isn't much drama to dramatize for large portions of the book. Sometimes a complaint tends to bring out others who agree so maybe a positive review of the narration will make it possible to buck the trend of negativity currently en vogue. It is surely different but don't let that deter you from an excellent book which is more about the wonder and mystery of a unique event and not about character drama and vibrant voices.
The guy that makes most inappropriate jokes at the worst time possible.
"Should have read this book eons ago"
This book is amazing, specially considering sir Arthur C. Clarke wrote it in the early 70s.
The whole exploration of Rama, from the initial incursion to their last mission, the environment and how each astronaut was reacting to it, what they were learning -- or not learning, since Rama represents technology and knowledge far beyond humanity understanding at that time. It makes you go along and have our own feelings and expectations about the unknown ship. It is a beautiful, thoughtful story, makes you empathise all along the way.
It's not a character-centric book, that describes the journey of a hero, although its characters are far better described and developed than in previous books like "Childhood's End".
The audiobook is above avarege and it has a great pace, which adds to the experience. It's worth your credits.
"Dull and boring narration of a favorite story"
This has been my favorite sci fi story for decades and I have re read it numerous times. I could only take one chapter, however, of the narrator's flat, lifeless voice. I am going to return my audible copy. You can be measured, deliberate, steady in your delivery without being lifeless and utterly forgettable, sir.
I cannot recommend this audible book to anyone.
"To much description for me."
Someone who can focus more on detailed descriptions.
No. I don't think anyone i know would be able to focus on it.
Less robotic.
The whole premise is very interesting.
"Bad Narration"
On a scale of 1-10 The performance gets a 2.
The performance was so bad I didn't like anyone.
It sounded like really bad actors making their first performance
Bad actors from space
"A classic"
a classic sci-fi. This is a must read. I could not pit it down. Kept me up late.

"Check Your Privilege": A Totalitarian Refrainby Will Grigg
May. 16, 2014
16yo Thug Sucker Punches 12yo White Boy With Brass Knuckles, Posts Video to YouTube
Census Shows Most Common Age of Whites Is 56, For Hispanics It's 9

Leftist Agitator Filmed Attacking Right-Wing Protester in CA is Middle School Teacher
The phrase "check your privilege" is among the most obnoxious expressions of recent vintage. This demand is an implicit accusation routinely directed at white, male students, who are supposed to feel guilt over being the beneficiaries of the institutionalized advantages that come with being part of an "oppressor class."
Beginning this fall, first-year students – we dare not call them "freshmen" – at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government will be required to undergo an orientation session dealing with power and privilege. [It's not much of an exaggeration to describe this kind of thing as a variant of the "struggle sessions" employed in Communist China during the Cultural Revolution. Those exercises were designed to induce "self-criticism" among people regarded as class enemies or suspected of ideological impurity.]
Collectivism, especially of the left-wing variety, is entirely obsessed with identity. All social relationships are divided between oppressor and victim classes. Those assigned to the former group can never eradicate their inherited guilt; those designated as victims, on the other hand, enjoy a limitless supply of inherited virtue, which can be drawn upon by political figures who claim to act on their behalf.
This is a variant of the ideology that fed the guillotines in Revolutionary France, and filled the killing fields of Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.

Fifteen foreign tourists were missing on Sunday after a boat travelling between islands in eastern Indonesia sank, an Indonesian search-and-rescue official said.
Suryaman, based on the island of Lombok, told Reuters that 10 people had been rescued after the ship sank on its way from that island to Komodo Islands.
He said he did not know the fate of the other 15 people on the vessel, which had a crew of five Indonesians and was carrying 20 foreigners.
The vessel left Lombok on Thursday night and sank on Saturday about 7 pm local time "and we only received a report at 8 am (on Sunday)," said Suryaman, adding that poor communication caused a delay in deploying a search-and-rescue team.
Local fishermen rescued five people before the team arrived, he said.
The official said that of the 10 rescued people, the nationalities were known for five - two each from New Zealand and Spain, and one from Britain.
Tajudin Sam, who runs the tour company operating the boat, said it likely encountered stormy weather.
A boat ride from Lombok to Komodo can take three days.
Komodo is famous for its monitor lizards, which draw many tourists.

Read an Excerpt
SPECIAL BONUS: Questions and Answers with the Julie Salamon
Why the title Rambam's Ladder?
I wanted to pay homage to this great teacher. But I also like the visual image of a ladder when I think about giving. I've always liked to climb, with the perhaps wistful hope that when I reach the top I'll be able to see everything. Usually, though, the most interesting things happen on the journey, and that's exactly what happened as I negotiated Rambam's Ladder.
How did you come to choose Maimonides, a medieval philosopher, to be your guide to how we give today?
The idea came to me not long after September 11. Like many people, the tragedy forced me to look closely at my values. Why do I believe in the things I do? How do I teach my children to be good in the face of evil? A friend suggested I read Maimonides, who was also known as Rambam. I was astounded to find how relevant his "Ladder of Charity" remains. The urge to do good feels like a life raft in the river of human troubles that flows from then to now.
And the subtitle? I understand the meditation of generosity, but why is it "necessary to give?"
While doing research for the book, I talked to all kinds of peopleincluding the powerful (chairmen of large corporations) and the powerless (the homeless). They had one thing in common: all of them felt an urge to give. For all of them, in very different ways, giving gave them a connection to other people that couldn't be made in any other way.
The lowest level on the Ladder belongs to the reluctant giver. The highest to the person who gives someone a loan. Where do you stand?
Everyone asks me that. What I've discovered is the ladder goes up and down. Some days I feel as though I've had a glimpse of that big vista from the top; other days, I'm grumpy and can't even get a toehold on the Ladder. The book deals frankly with the frustrations of giving as well as the gratification, because the relationship between giver and recipient is a complicated one.
This seems very personalhow did finishing the book make you do anything differently?
One thing is certain: the more I've learned about the complexities of giving, the more meaningful the experience has been for me. I've been volunteering at one thing or another all my life but never considered why.
What do you hope people take away from the book?
I hope they learn something about what motivates people to connect with their fellow humans. I would like the book to be a catalyst for discussion on how we allocate our resourcesas individuals and as governments. I hope it becomes a useful springboard for discussion between teachers and students, parents and childrennot to tell them what to do, but rather to help them explore the wisdom and experience of people who have gotten satisfaction out of giving.
Speaking of students and families, what about giving as part of a group? How can a family, an office, or a class work together to lift their individual parts onto and up the ladder?
At my son's school, not long after September 11, the teachers and students organized a dance-a-thon to raise money to send to a school in Afghanistan. A board member at the Bowery Residents Committee where I volunteer organized the office to collect clothes to send to homeless people who had come to the drop-in center. In both these cases, the charitable giving served other purposes: It helped the children learn about another country and helped the office workers connect in a more personal way. Similarly, giving can become a family project, as simple as taking unused toys and clothes to a children's hospital or a shelter.
Is it better to give to one charity or to several? If I want to give a small amount to several different charities is that any better than giving a larger amount to one charity and feel (and see) the results more clearly?
It depends on what is more meaningful to you. In the book, you learn how different people in different walks of life have answered this question: Sometimes people find it particularly important to devote their giving to one main charity. They can focus their resourcesfinancial and otherwiseon a charity that has particular meaning to them.
This can be rewarding because it is satisfying to see results. I have one friend who raises money for a children's home in central America. She devotes her time to collecting money, then buys toys and books for the children and takes them to the orphanage several times a year. It is very meaningful for her to see how much this effort brightens the lives of the children who live there.
But spreading donations to several different charities because there are so many choices and the need is so great is no less meaningful to some peopleor to Rambam's Ladder.
But regardless Rambam feels it is better to give anonymously?
Maimonides placed anonymity on the second highest rung. The reasons? To prevent the receiver from feeling shame and to keep the giver from feeling superior. But that does not mean that sometimes it may be better to know. You could argue that knowing someone you respect is giving to something may encourage you to give. And what if someone chooses to give through volunteering? Sometimes that personal connection is the best gift of all.

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, discussed how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outermos...

Case report
A 35-year-old Indian man presented to us with a chief complaint of multiple, raised, asymptomatic lesions involving the fingers of both hands for one month. The patient was apparently well a month ago when he first noticed small red raised lesions that continued to grow over days in size and number, without producing any symptoms. He resorted to some alternative medical treatment, but there was no response. On examination, there were three serosanguineous vesicles on the dorsal aspect of the right ring finger (Fig. 1), over the base (Fig. 2) of the right thumb (dorsal aspect), and over the medial aspect of the left little finger (Fig. 3), respectively. All of the vesicles had a central black eschar and a peripheral rim of hyperemia. On further enquiry, the patient revealed that he lived on a goat farm and that recently one of his goats died of continuous bleeding through all the orifices. The classical history, together with the clinical overtone, confirmed the diagnosis of malignant pustule (cutaneous anthrax). The patient was started on oral ciprofloxacin, 500 mg twice daily for a period of one month. The patient is waiting for follow-up.
Anthrax (also known as Charbon,[1] Woolsorter's disease, and Ragpicker's disease), is an infectious disease that affects herbivorous, hoofed animals (cattle, sheep, goats, etc.) as a zoonosis. Human beings are only affected as incidental hosts. Naturally, domestic herbivores are the most important source of infection. Human disease is acquired through three routes: (i) inhalation of spores through the respiratory tract (inhalational anthrax/Woolsorter's disease; traditionally contracted in workers breathing in airborne anthrax spores while processing wool or tanning hides); (ii) ingestion of contaminated meat (gastrointestinal anthrax); and (iii) direct inoculation of spores through a cutaneous breach (contact with infected material, e.g., carcasses, hair, hide).
Presently, anthrax is rarely encountered worldwide, barring occasional outbreaks in tropical countries, parts of South America, and Europe, due to limited veterinary control of livestock and environmental conditions favoring an animal–soil–animal zoonotic cycle. Clandestine stockpiling of the bacilli and usage for mass destruction by dissident forces is also worth mentioning in this context. India, however, paints a different picture, as the large village populations, thriving on livestock and working in the tanneries, are at continuous risk.[2] The exact incidence of human anthrax in India is lacking in literature but as yet a little less than 200 cases have been reported. Cutaneous anthrax accounts for about 95% of all human anthrax cases.[3] Although it is endemic in many parts of India, underreporting has largely accounted for the inaccuracy in the actual incidence.[4] Reports of occurrences in clusters or as outbreaks in endemic areas have so far been reported from south India exclusively and only once from eastern India (Midnapore district, 2000).[2, 5, 6] The causative organism, Bacillus anthracis, produces a toxin at the site of inoculation consisting of a protective antigen, edema factor, and lethal factor.[7] This exotoxin produces vascular thrombosis, resulting in extensive tissue edema and necrosis.[2] Thus, when skin is the portal of entry, a pruritic macule sets in initially and progresses to papulovesicle and finally, an ulcer with black, necrotic eschar, encircled by nonpitting, gelatinous, and indolent edema on the exposed surface.[7] The following clinical features are strongly suggestive of cutaneous anthrax, if present:[2] presence of edema, out of proportion to the size of lesion; absence of pain; and paucity of polymorphonuclear cells in Gram's stain of vesicular fluid.
Although accurate diagnosis depends upon demonstration of the thick, Gram-positive bacilli in smears from cutaneous lesions, consolidated by cultures, histopathological examination, and immunofluorescence.[7] However, a positive culture is encountered in only 60–65% of cases,[3] and absence of organism in smears or histopathological examination may be superfluous due to various reasons. The present patient attended in a primary healthcare setup that lacked laboratory diagnostic facilities, but some strong points helped us to make a confident diagnosis of cutaneous anthrax. They were: (i) strong history of contact with a dead animal; (ii) characteristic asymptomatic lesion over exposed areas; and (iii) absence of constitutional symptoms, suggestive of other bacterial infections.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that oral antibiotic therapy is sufficient for patients with cutaneous anthrax, where lesions are not located on the head or neck and there are no systemic symptoms. Ciprofloxacin or doxycycline is considered as first-line therapy, for a period of 60 days. Intravenous antibiotics (ciprofloxacin 400 mg every 12 hours or doxycycline 100 mg every 12 hours and one or two additional antibiotics to avoid resistance) have been reserved for severe cases with systemic involvement/extensive edema/lesions involving the head and neck region.[8]
This report is purported to highlight the classical clinical picture of a relatively uncommon zoonotic disease.

Re: Why are Fuji RAF files bigger than Oly ORF files?
In reply to WT21 • Jun 25, 2013

Oh, such fun! Thanks so much for all you do and all that you share. You have made me a strong supporter and encourager of children at play. Watching my kiddos play makes me regret all the homework I used to assign as a classroom teacher.
Kids need play time. They need it to learn. They also need it so they can deal with the stresses of the world.
Makes me wonder if more of our school kids had a bit more free time, would they have less behavior issues in the classroom? I taught first grade in a school that only allowed for one 15 minute recess all day.
Anyway, thanks for all that you do and the great ways you encourage play.

Fears of tax rises to fill £28billion black hole as City tax take is halved
The chancellor signalled last night that another rescue package is on the way - to be paid for by tax rises and spending cuts.
Alistair Darling made it clear that a further boost was needed to jolt the UK out of recession, despite a growing black hole in the public finances.
'It's necessary that we support our economy now,' he told MPs.
Under pressure: Alistair Darling will deliver his second Budget on April 22. There are fears of huge tax rises because tax revenues have collapsed
'It's also necessary to ensure that what we do is sustainable, and that in the medium term all countries have got to live within their means.'
But a report warned yesterday that tax income from the financial sector is set to almost halve.
The Centre for Economics and Business Research warned that revenue from the City will be £39billion in 2009/10, a drop of £28billion from the £67billion in 2006/7.
The think-tank said that public spending on health and education might have to drop by as much as 9 per cent because of falling tax revenues.
CEBR chief executive Doug McWilliams said: 'Predictions in the pre-Budget report do not appear to have factored in more than half of the tax revenue decline and there is little evidence that the longevity of the problem is fully understood in the fiscal part of the Treasury.'
Despite the shortfall, Gordon Brown and other members of the Cabinet are said to be pressing Mr Darling to launch another major 'fiscal stimulus' in next month's Budget. Tax cuts for pensioners are expected to be a priority.
Struggle: Britain is particularly exposed because so many homeowners are on fixed rate mortgage deals`
Government sources said the Chancellor is not opposed to further expenditure on top of the £20billion announced in last year's pre-Budget report, but he believes it is vital to spell out how the extra borrowing will be paid back, to reassure the international markets.
The latest overall tax figures for individuals and companies show total receipts were down by 11 per cent in January compared with the same month a year ago.
Combined corporation and petroleum tax receipts were 22.5 per cent lower than a year earlier, while income tax receipts were 7.7 per cent lower as rising unemployment took its toll. VAT income fell 20 per cent from a year earlier to £6billion.
Mr Darling has already announced a 0.5 per cent increase in national insurance contributions effective from April 2011 for those earning more than £20,000. Those earning more than £150,000 a year will also face a new tax rate of 45p in the pound.
Spiralling debt: Families could be caught in a trap of growing debt as prices fall, the Bank of England has warned
David Cameron said he hoped the Prime Minister would heed the Chancellor's warning that another unfunded stimulus was 'not affordable'. The Conservative leader added: 'Otherwise we are going to end up with public finances that are in a truly catastrophically dreadful state.'
Tory Treasury spokesman Philip Hammond said: 'The projected collapse in financial sector tax payments reduces still further the Government's room for manoeuvre. What we need now is financial discipline and spending restraint.'
Mr Brown yesterday avoided repeating the prediction of Ben Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. central bank, that America's recession is expected to end this year.
The Prime Minister said the speed at which Britain recovers will depend on international agreements that can be reached at the forthcoming G20 and G8 summits.
Mr Brown told a Downing Street press conference: 'We are seeing a large fall in world trade. The 1930s brought protectionism in response to recession; in 2009 we must tackle protectionism head-on.' ˜ Banks will be given a stricter code of practice in a crackdown on tax avoidance, Mr Darling said.
'We expect banks to fully comply with their tax obligations,' he told MPs. HM Revenue & Customs is drafting the document, which is expected to be published alongside next month's Budget.
Aides admitted the code will be voluntary, but said it will be made binding with legislation if banks fail to stick to it.
Jobless teens stuck in a skills trap
Unskilled teenagers have little hope of finding work as they are 'failed by school and trapped by the recession', a report warns.
Sixteen and 17-year-olds are suffering by far the highest unemployment rate, with around 28 per cent out of work, the charity Barnardo's said.
This equates to at least 564,788 based on figures from the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Official figures released tomorrow are expected to show that more than two million people are out of work in Britain.
Barnardo's said young people who want to train in the workplace face 'vastly' fewer opportunities than a generation ago. Its research found that teenagers leaving school at 16 were overwhelmingly motivated to work or get an apprenticeship. But many were 'alienated' by their time at school and had achieved few qualifications.
Many had poor basic skills and lacked confidence in their own ability to learn.
Poor relationships with teachers, bullying and truancy were all key factors among those who had underachieved, Barnardo's said.
Chief executive Martin Narey said: 'We must do more to break the cycle of deprivation facing too many young people who believe the world of work is nothing to do with them.'

FORT WORTH (AP) – Attorneys for a boy injured by a 16-year-old driver who killed four people in a drunken wreck want to hear from the psychologist who said the teenager had "affluenza."
A Fort Worth judge is to hear arguments Friday from lawyers for the driver, Ethan Couch, and Lucas McConnell, one of several people injured in last year's wreck.
The crash got national attention thanks in part to the testimony of psychologist Dick Miller. He said Couch was coddled into a sense of irresponsibility by his wealthy parents, a condition he termed "affluenza."
McConnell's attorneys say Miller should be forced to testify again in their lawsuit against the Couch family, but Couch's lawyers argue that would violate attorney-client and doctor-patient privileges.

City Patrol Cars Go Hybrid
New York City, Indianapolis and London are among cities taking advantage of hybrid vehicles in their police fleets.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) rolled out 40 hybrid cars to patrol five boroughs where their fuel efficiency presents the greatest economic and environmental benefit. The department is adding Nissan Altima hybrids, 18 marked and 22 unmarked.
The NYPD will have a total of 100 hybrids in use by year's end. The police department also has 10 GMC Yukon Hybrid SUVs used by duty captains.
Although the Altima hybrids cost more than the Impalas or Crown Victorias currently used in the police fleet, these hybrids offer greater acceleration and get 35 miles per gallon, which is double that of the Impala or Crown Victoria.
New York City now has 3,300 hybrids among the fleet of 26,000 city-owned vehicles with most hybrids assigned to sanitation, buildings, parks and transportation, according to Newsday.com.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) may also replace its older patrol cars with hybrid vehicles, reports WIBC Indianapolis News. IMPD currently has 675 vehicles that have been driven more than 100,000 miles, which is more than 40 percent of its fleet of police vehicles.
The Department has 58 Toyota Prius hybrid electric cars in use by administrative personnel, with some of them being equipped with light bars for limited patrols on the streets downtown, according to WIBC.
Police departments across the country may have more hybrid choices in the future. Both Hyundai Motor Group and General Motors Corp. recently announced their plans to develop several hybrid vehicles.
European police forces are also looking into alternative vehicles for their fleets. For example, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) in London is evaluating alternative fuel vehicles like the electric Smartcar, due to increasing focus on limiting carbon emissions, reports the Dagenham news site. The MPS, with a fleet of about 8,600 vehicles, is said to be one of the largest fleets in the UK.
The Met already has over 100 hybrid cars in use with the Toyota Prius being used for local patrol, transport duties and supporting Safer Neighborhood Teams, according to the news site.
The MPS has been involved with a market trial of electric-powered cars since June 2008, using four Smart EDs (electric drives) across London to support operations and provide transport solutions, according Dagenham news. These cars are charged using a standard three-pin plug and deliver a range of 70 miles on an eight-hour charge with no emissions.

Last name origin & meaning:
Muslim: from an Arabic personal name, 'Ismā'īl, name
of a Prophet (Biblical Ishmael), son of Ibrahim (Abraham). Ibrahim
left his second wife Hajar (Hagar) and their small son Ismail in the
wilderness outside Mecca with only a short supply of food and water.
Allah took pity on them and caused the well of Zamzam to spurt up in
that desolate place, which saved their lives. Later, Ibrahim sought
out his son Ismail, and together they built the Ka'ba in Mecca,
towards which all Muslims turn when praying. Arabs believe that Ismail
was the founder of the Arab peoples, and for this reason Arabs are
sometimes referred to as Ishmaelites.
