#Draw365 28-34
There have been a few setbacks in my #Draw365 project this week, but there have also been a number of little triumphs that make this group of sketches interesting. The main setback has been my lack of time, but looking at these sketches, I simply do not feel like complaining. I did one drawing on my porch, another in Decatur, AL with my friend Ann, and sometimes those late night sketches of the lamp or the cat or a pile of fruit are full of valuable lessons about patience or lighting or how to frame a composition. My attention to nuance and subtle handling of the pen in some of these sketches really encouraged me to keep going no matter what. If I felt I did not have time for a full sketch, I only used half the usual spread; in the case of the last drawing, I worked on it over two sessions. I cannot be upset with myself that I "skipped" a day, because I still took my pen out and drew on both days. I have made it past the first month, and I am simply going to march on. Enjoy!

Still Life Paintings
I have done a few abstract still life paintings in the past (chiefly florals), but never gave the genre much thought-- its potential for story-telling and powerful symbolism, or the way a still life might liven up a larger composition. After my artist friend Kate suggested setting up a still life a few month ago, I became intrigued by the concept in a new way. My most recent pieces are very personal, filled with objects and colors that either say something about me or have sentimental value to me or my Mom...I have only just begun to explore the potential of this traditional genre, but I am enjoying its possibilities quite a bit! Several of these pieces will be on exhibit October 21st at my 1892 East show with Ann Vann and at my solo show in November at the Church Street Wine Shoppe!

#Draw365 21-27
27 out of 365 sketches have been completed as of today-- almost a month's worth of daily drawings in my Moleskine! This week, my focus has been on variety. The first sketch was done in a restaurant where I had to work quite quickly, the next two were done in a dimly-lit room, the fourth was drawn on the Square on a beautiful fall day, and the last three drawings were done from photos. Architecture, sculpture, interior scenes. . . I am trying to do a little bit of everything and let my sketches go wherever my whims lead. The personal diary aspect of the project has taken on a prominent role. Looking ahead, I suspect that I will start to pay more attention to the overall composition of the pages and try to do more concentrated studies of smaller elements or details, but I am trying not to set too many rules or limits on this project. My goal so far has been to make drawing a habit again and to enjoy exploring, and I certainly intend to keep it that way!

#Draw365 14-20
This week, I ran into the issues that usually stop my #Draw365 efforts in their tracks-- lack of time, exhaustion, being on the go quite a bit. I did not allow any of those things to stop me this time. Some of my sketches have been done fairly hastily. . . some quite late at night. The beauty of #Draw365 projects is that it does not really matter how "good" the sketches are, when they were completed, or what the artist has chosen to depict-- the point is simply to create, freely and daily, and to make art a part of one's life. Each sketch is a reminder to make time for quiet reflection every day, no matter what.

#Draw365 7-13
Here are this week's #Draw365 sketches! I find myself exceedingly fond of drawing buildings and delight in seeing my sketches grow increasingly complex. I have made it to 13/365. . . already I am thinking about new subjects to draw and imagining what it will be like to reach 365/365. I even picture continuing to do a drawing a day for the rest of my life and having a box full of little sketchbooks to flip through. Enjoy!

#Draw365 and the Appeal of the Art Journal
Like many people who appreciate beauty, teacups, vintage typewriters, European cities, and photos of ornate doors, I am on Pinterest. I curate little collections of prettiness, home improvement, fashion, and art on a regular basis-- for inspiration, for safe-keeping, to look at again and again and enjoy. I go through phases in my collecting; one day it is pictures of Victorian dresses, another day fountain pens, color palettes, even recipes from the 50's so awful that they are oddly fascinating. Lately, I find myself particularly curious about sketchbooks, art journals, and travel sketches. There is something fascinating about the way a daily art journal can make little things matter and tell interesting stories in an effortless way. I am drawn to this intimate look into an artist's life and surroundings, seeing a large variety of subjects through that artist's eyes and watching his or her style develop over time.
I am so fascinated, in fact, that I have decided to start a new #Draw365 challenge. I have done projects like this on and off, but have never quite managed to make daily doodling a habit for more than a few months at a stretch. Looking back on a #Draw365 attempt from 2011, I am flooded with memories, the evolution of creative compositions, and little triumphs in the development of my drawing skills. I only wish I had continued doing these sketches through the years!
As of this week, I am determined. Below are my first six sketches from this round! I will post a new group of sketches every Saturday. . .

Clinton Row and Christina Wegman Fine Art
For about a year and a half, I have been working out of a public studio in a converted storage unit in Downtown Huntsville-- my studio also doubles as a gallery space, and I am part of a larger retail incubator project that you may already know about called Clinton Row. I started in a 10X10 unit, and within a year, was able to expand my space into a 10X20. The studio is small, but perfectly efficient, and I have done my best to make it a pleasant place for visitors.
Daily life and a full schedule of events have taken me away from this blog for quite some time, but today seemed as good a day as any to return to it. My work has taken many different directions since the last time I composed a blog post. From doing artwork for Huntsville's 1st Cheese Festival to pet portraits to fashion shows to car art to festivals and beyond, my relationship to my town has also deepened in ways I never imagined. Below are several pieces I have worked on, both commissioned and for my own joy, during my absence from this blog. As I reflect on them and browse through older posts, I can only feel humbled by how far my career has really come. . . and yet how many more projects I still want to explore and enjoy and share with others. I have always joked that I would always have more work to do and that I was glad that my work would never be done-- I would never be bored. It is nice to look back and confirm that what I said then still rings true now.
I promise to return to updating this blog more frequently. If there are any topics or artworks of mine in particular that you would like to see featured here and discussed more fully, please do mention them in the comments.

From Our Editors
Rejuvenation Med Spa's first priority is firm, alluring skin. Staffers achieve this goal through a variety of goods and treatments, all of which avoid the downtime of surgery and the discomfort of wearing a nude-colored catsuit every day. They disrupt fat deposits with FDA-approved Zerona lasers, fill in wrinkles with Botox and Juvéderm injections, and apply skincare formulas from Obagi and Nu Skin. They also lead clients through weight-loss and diet programs for further slimming tips. The spa's monochromatic decor—composed of white couches, black rugs, and silver walls—lends its lounge a futuristic feel that complements the lasers within its treatment rooms.

We have two small user-visible changes this release. Thanks very much to Zastai and chirlu for working on these. The git tag is
Dataset creation challenges in AcousticBrainz
Datasets are an important part of the AcousticBrainz project. All machine learning models, that are used to calculate high-level information about recordings (genre, mood, danceability, etc; see https://beta.acousticbrainz.org/485bbe7f-d0f7-4ffe-8adb-0f1093dd2dbf for example), first need to be trained on a dataset. Last year we released a platform which allows people to create and evaluate these datasets within AcousticBrainz. We've already seen a number of interesting datasets and now we want to take this process to the next step, make it more interesting.
Recently we started working on a new feature that allows us to organize dataset creation challenges. These challenges allow us to directly compare datasets created for the same classification tasks: genre, mood, instrumentation, etc. After a challenge ends, we can use the best models on all of the AcousticBrainz data.
Everyone can participate in a challenge, so we invite you to try the current version of the system at https://beta.acousticbrainz.org/! Right now there's only one challenge related to classification of music with and without vocals, but we might add more later. To participate in a challenge:
- Create a dataset manually or by importing it from a CSV file created externally (this can be done from your profile page). Make sure it has the same structure (set of classes: "with vocals", "without vocals") as defined in the challenge requirements.
- Once you have built the dataset, select "Evaluate" link on its page to go to the evaluation page. There select a challenge that you would like to submit your dataset to (search for "Classifying vocals").
- Wait for results! We'll probably post an update once we have something interesting to show.
Please keep in mind that this is a very early prototype, so some issues are to be expected. This is why we ask you to try it and tell us what you think. We encourage you to report any problems or make suggestions in JIRA or in the #metabrainz IRC channel (https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Communication/IRC). Feel free to use IRC or the comments section if you have any questions or thoughts. Thanks!
We have several more useful features coming up later. The big ones are improvements to the dataset editor, an extension of the API for datasets that was added recently, and a way to collect user feedback on high-level data. The dataset editor should become easier to work with, especially when working with large datasets. The API will be useful for people who want to build their own tools on top of core dataset functionality in AcousticBrainz. And finally, user feedback will allow us and other dataset creators to see how their models perform on a much larger scale.
Server update, 2016-07-04
This is a small bug-fix release. Server development has slowed down while we work on writing Docker containers for our new hosting infrastructure. But code contributions are always welcome. Thanks to Ulrich Klauer (chirlu) for his work on MBS-8806 this release.
The git tag is
- [MBS-8806] – Artist credits disappearing from tracklist & recordings after editing
- [MBS-8987] – Untouched URLs are automatically/suddenly cleaned up
- [MBS-8996] – Error message when trying to merge releases displays as "ARRAY(stuff)"
- [MBS-8997] – Merging releases with "(Disc 1)", "(Disc 2)" etc in titles selects all as disc 1
- [MBS-8999] – Track lengths are in the wrong table column in the release editor
New Feature
- [MBS-8994] – Allow passing &dismax=true through to the search server so Picard can show the same results as on the website
Server update, 2016-06-20
Our release today contains the usual lot of bug fixes and improvements. Thanks to yvanz, chirlu, and reosarevok for their contributions. The git tag is
- [MBS-7358] – Edit types not translated on Release editor / edit note tab
- [MBS-7963] – Release editor doesn't prevent too long disambiguation comments
- [MBS-8809] – ASIN cleanup can be defective
- [MBS-8951] – Recent notes is broken
- [MBS-8968] – JSON version of artist includes gender-id value, which has no xml equivalent
- [MBS-8977] – Edit searches with relationship type conditions cause an internal server error
- [MBS-8983] – « Show only results that are in my subscribed entities. » checkbox broken
- [MBS-8985] – Fix CPDL URLs matching and clean it up
- [MBS-9000] – HTML special characters are not escaped on aliases page
- [MBS-7111] – Improve URL matching for musik-sammler.de links
- [MBS-8982] – Stop "fixing" piano with Guess Case
Massive connectivity issues
As you are probably aware, we've been having lots of network connectivity issues with all services hosted at Digital West in California (all of our projects, except ListenBrainz and AcousticBrainz).
Today we spent all morning trying to replace what we thought to be a faulty switch. That process didn't go very well at all – we hit every conceivable issue that we could've hit. And a few more.
But, in this process we connected our gateway machines directly to our uplink (not through our switch) and the network issues persisted! After testing this setup with both of our machines, we've now conclusively eliminated all of our equipment as the possible source of trouble.
At this point our troubles lie in the hands of Digital West to fix. Thankfully the day staff will return to work in a few hours and hopefully we will make some progress on this issue then.
Sorry for all of this hassle.😦
Server update, 2016-06-06
This server release contains fixes for bugs introduced in the recent schema change, and some other small improvements listed below. Thanks to reosarevok, chirlu, yvanz, and gcilou for their contributions this time around. The git tag is
- [MBS-7986] – Misleading error message for event setlists
- [MBS-8941] – Beta: Last AC in a release sometimes doesn't change with the rest when changing release artist
- [MBS-8942] – Beta: cursor moves to the end of AC search field when removing a letter in the middle of the name
- [MBS-8950] – iTunes favicon is not displayed on the sidebar
- [MBS-8959] – Can't add new packaging types – ISE
- [MBS-8824] – Update the rateyourmusic logo used in the sidebar
- [MBS-8925] – Limit BookBrainz relationship to BookBrainz URLs
- [MBS-8957] – Update SecondHandSongs icon and add BBC logo in the sidebar
Updated search jar/war files
Given the utter slackers we are, we haven't yet finished updating the search server to output the new MBIDs that were added to some entities in our last release. We'll try and get that done soonish.
However, we did update the search code to fix this error in the search indexer:
ERROR: type "earth" does not exist
I've put both of these jar/war files on our FTP site:
- search-indexer-a947c76.jar
- searchserver-a947c76.war (see UPDATE below)
If you would like to try and build these from source, you'll need commit 4f677727 from mmd-schema and the latest master commit from search-server. For instructions on how to build this, please follow these instructions.
UPDATE: The build from the current master for search-server appears to not be able to load indexes upon startup. Please use the old war (we still use this in production) until we can release a fix.

If you're told you're not allowed to have something, you want it all the more. Its human nature. So when there is a cultural taboo saying something shouldn't be done, it is also wanted all the more.
The only thing stopping something like sex in popular culture is the amount of people who don't want it. Back in the early 20th century the amount of people against sexuality's general presence in culture was high. When the numbers shift from one side of the fence to another for whatever reason [such as religious beliefs (or the lack thereof), personal preference or cultural acceptability, etc,] you get what we have today.
The major reason causing the "population shift" is the influential power of the media. Media influences people who influence media that influences more people, and so on.
Another reason is of course people themselves (which is actually the source of the media's influential power: media is actually about people).
So: People influenced by media influence other people who influence other people, who influence media, etc.
Personally, i think its a machine that can
be stopped by an opposing movement of equal or greater force. The only way such a movement would come into being would be chance: the constant shifting and activity of the equations of our existence. That, or Divine intervention.
@Christians: You probably believe its the latter, and that there is no former, to which i say you're right. Throughout history God has countered depravity with stronger movements of His own (such as the old Revivals in America, for example) But isn't it curious that nothing has been done so far? Most actions in history were taken before it ever got to the stage that it is now...

I'm quite surprised at it too. Not long ago i was teased by some 12 and 13 year olds for not having had sex before.

My post above is based on the premise that there actually
to much sex in media. But i am referring to media as a whole. Some things are more explicit than others. (such as R rated movies, for example). I can't say i liked the scene in Mass Effect, (simply because of what other people may think) but it was relatively nothing, and it was targeted at mature audiences. I'm hoping that they keep it at the same level for the sequels.
mfw I read the Revan novel
it is not a cry of joy.

Hello, there! I work out of Microsoft's India Development Center at Hyderabad, India. I am the Director of the Developer Tools group, which is part of the Developer Division, home to Visual Studio and the .NET framework. I moved back to India after a long stint in Redmond, for family reasons, in 2001. Although most of my career at Microsoft has been on operating systems, I took the plunge into the developer tools arena in late 2002. I should confide that I was nervous about a large change like this, but I have been having a ton of fun.
My original responsibility in the Developer world was to manage the Visual J# effort. You may know that Visual J#, that ships as one of the 4 languages with Visual Studio, was built from scratch out of Microsoft's India Development Center. Visual J# is a tool that Java-language programmers can use to build applications and services to run on the .NET Framework. Visual J# targets the common language runtime and can be used to develop .NET applications, including XML Web services and Web applications, making full use of the .NET Framework In addition to Visual J#, I also own the Java Language Conversion Assistant tool, that also ships as part of Visual Studio. This tool helps convert Java applications to C# and .NET.
A big part of my charter now includes components that ship as part of the new Visual Studio Team System (VSTS). VSTS will make its debut with Visual Studio 2005 later this year. My team is building some key technologies that ship with the server components of VSTS (called the Team Foundation Server). Team Build, which is basically a "Build in a Box" is one of the significant pieces that we are creating out of my team. The intent of Team Build is to help customers establish a build lab without going through the process of writing a bunch of custom scripts. A lot of information gets generated as part of the build process that touches all the different tools we are providing. The intent is to unite all the components to add value to the suite. We are also building conversion tools to migrate existing source code and work item tracking software to the new generation source code control system and work item tracking software that ship with VSTS.
Overall, I am super excited to be part of the effort to build cool technologies that reach out and benefit millions of developers, testers, project managers and architects, worldwide.

(HealthDay)—Middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes show accelerated cognitive decline in information processing speed and executive function, according to a study published online Dec. 28 in Diabetes Care.
To examine the effects of baseline and incident diabetes on cognitive function, Peggy J.J. Spauwen, from Maastricht University in the Netherlands, and colleagues conducted cognitive testing on 1,290 individuals (40 years or older) participating in the Maastricht Aging Study. Testing was performed at baseline and at six and 12 years.
At baseline, 68 participants had type 2 diabetes, while 54 and 57 had incident diabetes at the six- and 12-year follow-up, respectively. Over the 12-year follow-up, the researchers identified significantly larger decline in information-processing speed, executive function, and delayed word recall among those with diabetes at baseline, compared with control subjects. There was no significant difference noted in the decline for immediate word recall. Participants with incident diabetes showed subtle early decrease in information-processing speed only, compared to the controls; however, in other cognitive domains there was no larger decline observed.
"It seems that disease-exposure time plays an important role in the development of cognitive decline. This might provide a window of opportunity for prevention and early treatment of diabetes-related cognitive deficits," the authors write. "For this, it is important to assess cognitive status at an early stage of the disease and on a regular basis."

Product Description
Quill & Quire
The ongoing crisis in Darfur confronts us with the remarkable phenomenon of scholars, anthropologists, legal minds, and activists documenting a lengthy genocide-in-progress, with all parties seemingly powerless to stop the carnage. How can such intolerable human rights atrocities receive almost universal attention and condemnation, yet draw so little concrete reaction from the global community? That question forms the central subject of the essay collection The World and Darfur. Like any product of an academic conference, this volume tends toward repetition, a style redolent of postgraduate term papers, and a distance that presents the issue as a cold analysis of policy, not people. Essays include an analysis of the recent history of the region, the policy and institutional barriers that prevent real progress, and the tunnel vision that sees Darfur through mainly white, Eurocentric eyes in print media, art exhibitions, and political activism. Ironically, a number of essays in this collection suffer from exactly this kind of blinkered vision. Discussions of ways in which the world might have responded more decisively in Rwanda are well executed here, as are examinations of the ways in which debates over semantics – does Darfur constitute ethnic cleansing, a humanitarian crisis, or genocide? – become a sideshow that does nothing to help those suffering on the ground. While the individual contributors raise many good questions, a coherent set of solutions remains elusive. The collection is also notable for the voices that are missing, especially that of leading African scholar Mahmoud Mamdani, whose challenging take on Darfur, although briefly referenced in the introduction, may have provided a deeper understanding of why so much of the interventionist spirit among activists and politicians alike is shortsighted and, possibly, counterproductive. Gerald Caplan hints at this broader perspective in his passionate opening essay, which questions whether the war-on-terror co-operation between Sudanese intelligence services and the CIA is the real roadblock to any progress toward ending the bloodshed. Although Darfur garners much of the world's attention, millions of others in Sudan suffer the ravages of poverty and armed conflict spilling into their communities. One such war-torn village, Abyei, was recently home to a young Canadian doctor, James Maskalyk, whose memoir Six Months in Sudan recalls the sights and sounds of an impoverished medical outpost. Maskalyk was posted there by Médicins Sans Frontières. Six Months is full of stories that range in format from ER drama (right down to his makeshift recreation of M*A*S*H-like operating room scenes) to blog entries Maskalyk wrote to update friends and family. The author is an interesting, if not always sympathetic, individual who questions throughout why he has chosen to go to a place where he struggles constantly with the blistering heat, the parasites, his own deep-seated cynicism, and the emotional distancing that happens when one is surrounded by misery and death. Inspired by culture shock upon his return to Canada and his inability to deal with questions about his experience, Maskalyk attempts to get it all down (perhaps as an act of decompression therapy), resulting in a work that, while interesting, is overly long and full of recalled dialogue that provides too much colour at the expense of keeping the story moving. Indeed, it takes over 200 pages to sense the emotional kernel at the heart of the story: Maskalyk wants those of us in the comfortable West to really understand how bad it is in places like Sudan. A noble desire, but one that tends to get lost in the focus on Maskalyk's own search for meaning, against which the people he treats often fade to backdrop. While both The World and Darfur and Six Months in Sudan are important reminders of injustice a world away, it is not clear how they will ultimately engage and challenge readers to move beyond the very distancing syndrome they seek to eliminate.
"A rich story that gives a wonderful, raw awareness of what we are as humans. . . . Our hopes and illusions are stripped away, yet we are left not with despair but with a deeper appreciation and a sense of wonder. . . . Brilliant writing. I'm sure Maskalyk is a fine doctor, but he's an even better writer."
— Vancouver Sun
"One of the greatest successes of Six Months in Sudan is that it does not try to be anything more than it is—a moment in time. . . . [It] can be read and enjoyed by those who are interested in the humanitarian movement and in global issues, as well as by those who glance at the headlines and want to know what it is like to be there, responding to world tragedies as they unfold."
—The Globe and Mail
"[Maskalyk's] empathy is palpable. . . . As he details daily life on the drab compound—the inescapable heat and dust, the terrible food served by their hostile Sudanese cook, the petty bullying of the local militia—and the wrenching demands of the hospital, the book is vivid, and at times even funny."
—The Walrus
"[A] gripping and humane account of a mission spent working for Medecins Sans Frontieres. . . . The crowded and airless hospital is understaffed, under-equipped and periodically invaded by groups of excitable militia. . . .Despite all this, Maskalyk does not lose faith in the work he and MSF are doing in places such as Sudan. If his initial, bright-eyed enthusiasm is soon buried under blood, dust and sweat . . . he retains enough humanity to find consolation in small acts of kindness."
—Daily Mail (UK)
"Powerful and shocking. . . .We share [Maskalyk's] immediate, intimate experience as he confronts so much death... and struggles with limited medical resources in often chaotic circumstances. Heartbreaking scenes are recounted with searing honesty and without a trace of self-satisfaction or self-congratulation."
—The Irish Times
"A fresh spin on a familiar story about death, misery, life and survival. . . . This is not the first book to deal with aid work and the perils of war, but it is successful in bringing a blog-style conversation to the reader. Maskalyk's honest monologue depicts frustration, hunger, sickness and longing that any reader can empathize with. It also marks a path of self-discovery, as a young doctor comes to terms with what he wants in life, and a place changes him forever as a doctor and a human being."
—The Gazette (Montreal)
"The prose in [Maskalyk's blog] is carefully crafted, often poetic, always deliberate. . . .What matters here is what he does with it—making it the core of a bigger story, a moving reflection written back home after an experience he always knew would be life-changing. . . . You're there, in the dust with him—and, when the rains come, in the sea of mud. You're there in the makeshift shelters that act as operating theatre, consulting rooms and isolation unit. . . .Most stirringly, you're with him as he watches the first of many babies die of malnutrition . . . [and] as he tells grieving relatives that it is not MSF's job to help them with funeral arrangements."
—The Scotsman
"Six Months in Sudan offers readers . . . an interesting story and hope of understanding such a complex situation. . . . The difference between those who write from the sidelines, and those who write from within is striking. Maskalyk takes the reader there, pulls them into his tukul (hut) and almost smothers with the realities of trying to help."
—Winnipeg Free Press
"Moving…. Honest and fluently written, Maskalyk's book traces his rapport with his colleagues, his growing affection for his adopted town of Abyei and the readjustment he faces on returning to Canada. It is an absorbing insight into international medicine."
—Financial Times
"Haunting. . . . the kind of book that makes sense of the senseless and builds important connections between those who have seen and felt what he has, those who aspire to do this kind of work, those who want to support the dedicated humanitarian service of others and those who just want to understand."
—Canadian Medical Association Journal
"Maskalyk's soft prose is beautiful and invites with the right intimate details. He offers a rare window on the inner life of an aid worker, on what it means to be a humanitarian around the hard edges of war, and on the certain drive to go on. Why? Because in his words, `hope not only meets despair in equal measure, it drowns it.'"
—James Orbinski, author of An Imperfect Offering: Humanitarian Action in the Twenty-First Century
"This journey is beautifully told in sharp beats and lyrical notes. It is the voyage of a young doctor in a hard world and deep within his own heart."
—Vincent Lam, author of Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures
"Six Months in Sudan is a wrenchingly heartbreaking account of distant agonies almost too pointed to grasp. Learning about Maskalyk's work there is stirring, but the real miracle is this book paints a picture so precisely and vividly that it becomes impossible to look away. This is Maskalyk's accomplishment, and his gift to the Sudanese and to us. The shame of our indifference retreats before his exhortation: 'learn, and understand,' and perhaps a more bearable future becomes possible for all of us."
— Kevin Patterson, author of Consumption
"This is an extraordinary book, a piercingly authentic account of the fear, confusion and hope of a young doctor newly deployed to a humanitarian crisis wrapped around by a war. James Maskalyk's commitment to survival – his own as well as his patients' - illuminates this account of doctoring in the sort of desperate place where it couldn't matter more."
— Jonathan Kaplan, author of The Dressing Station: A Surgeon's Chronicle of War and Medicine
"In Six Months in Sudan, James Maskalyk tells of his extraordinary experiences working as a doctor for MSF, without a trace of vanity or self-congratulation. His book serves as a salutary reminder of what it means to be an excellent doctor, and a brave man. For anyone who is interested in a career in medicine, or in courage, this is a book to read."
— Gabriel Weston, author of Direct Red: A Surgeon's View of Her Life-Or-Death Profession

Dr. James Maskalyk was an young emergency room physician in Toronto, Canada and no stranger to medical missions when he decided to join Médicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders).
" I wanted to see who I was when everything was taken away, when all the insulation between the world and me was removed."
His six month assignment was to Sudan. Most of us think of Darfur when we hear Sudan. Maskalyk went to Abyei, a small town on the border between Southern and Northern Sudan. At the time he was there, the town was 'neutral', but surrounded by military from both sides. This book was born from a blog that Maskalyk started while in Sudan to communicate with family and friends. Upon his return to Canada, he found it difficult to assimilate back into his former life , to not look back at Sudan.
"I went to Sudan, and am writing about it again, because I believe that which separates action from inaction is the same thing that separates my friends from Sudan. It is not indifference. It is distance. May it all fall away."
Dr. Maskalyk has done a fantastic job in trying to minimize the distance and bring Sudan closer. I literally could not put this book down. It's one thing to read newspaper accounts of the tragedies happening halfway around the world, but this book put an intensely personal face on it. We are privy to Maskalyk's enthusiasm and hopes for making a immediate difference when he arrives. We are able to read of the sorrow, despair and toll the situation takes on him personally, as well as the cost of war on the people of Sudan. With our health care system in Canada, it is difficult to read of the many children dying from malnutrition and measles.Read more ›
What this book is not: Self indulgent. Pitying or pandering. Overly-analytical to the point where it becomes a book about all of the downfalls of the humanitarian industry instead of a personal account.
What it is: Entertaining (the author's dry wit and cynical humor balance perfectly with countless moments of deep emotion). Uniquely descriptive in a way that is not typical of many writers, but makes you feel like you are there with the author nonetheless. Funny, but in a way that does not diminish the seriousness of the situation that was occurring and continues to occur in Sudan. Personal. Realistic. Heartbreaking. Beautiful.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in humanitarianism or aid work, international development, travel, or health care. It will keep it's spot on my bookshelf longer than most other books I own! If the author is reading this: James. Please. Please write more. You have a keen talent for storytelling and wonderful stories to tell!

Definition of facticity in English:
The quality or condition of being fact: the facticity of death
More example sentences
- Philosophy is an after fact - our facticity, where and how we are, is relevant for it constitutes us and is the condition of possibility of any action, or interpretation as Heidegger puts it.
- Far from it: mostly, those I have called above core social facts do not shape social existence via the unmistakable facticity of, say, a society's road system.
- Anguish animates reflection, driving the author deeper into his understanding of the ultimates posed by death's facticity and fueling his rage at a society that debases dying and turns it into a therapeutic event.

SUNY Oswego (Applied Mathematics)
Hi, my name is Rob. I graduated from SUNY Oswego summa cum laude with a BS in applied mathematics and a minor in statistics. I'm currently working as a math tutor.
I was trained as a math tutor in 2010 and have since tutored privately, at Cayuga Community College, and at SUNY Oswego. I have also worked as a teaching assistant for an intro statistics course. My experiences tutoring include one-on-one for algebra, calculus, precalculus, geometry, trigonometry, discrete mathematics and statistics, as well as drop-in math help, with topics ranging from arithmetic to calculus 2. I am more than happy to break out my real analysis, abstract algebra and other high level notes if someone wants help with upper division classes. I am also familiar with grade school level arithmetic and word problems.
My usual style is to first let you work through a problem as best as you can. This helps identify problem areas which we can work on together. After going through examples aimed specifically at increasing ability in those issues, we can try a similar problem. I find it to be very helpful having someone who can identify where the problem is, and can go through a simpler example which highlights the area needing work. Hi, my name is Rob. I graduated from SUNY Oswego summa cum laude with a BS in applied mathematics and a minor in statistics. I'm currently working as a math tutor.

Because of Rob's patience he was able to prep
my daughter in just 4 weeks for the Trig Regents.
She was able to pass this time. Would recommend Rob!!!!!
Robert saved me with my online statistics class. I wasn't making sense of it on my own, but he had a way of explaining things that I could actually understand what was going on. Robert was so patient and helpful, it really made up for the lack of a classroom. I'm lucky I found him in time for my final! Highly recommended!!!
Robert just finished tutoring my son in calculus. As soon as we contacted Robert he set up a meeting location and a time. He was always punctual, professional, and easy to reach. Best of all, he is very personable; my son really likes him. Robert is very knowledgeable about the material and seems to enjoy it, so that my son enjoyed learning it. To quote my son "That hour goes by SO fast!" I will definitely use Robert again if I need to and will recommend him to my friends.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
As a mathematics major, I am well familiar with the topics covered in discrete mathematics. This class is the gateway to the higher math classes. The topics introduced here are revisited over and over as one works with mathematics, and are crucial to understand.
I am well familiar with the topics covered in this class, including laws of probability, combinations, permutations, subsets, power sets, relations, and types of functions.
I'm also prepared to assist in learning the proofs necessary for this course, including but not limited to induction, contra positive, contradiction, and if-and-only-if type proofs.
The following is a proof done by me on antisymmetric relations, followed by a shorter proof on set intersection of set differences. Set notation is displayed as "?" on this site, obscuring details
A relation R on a set A is antisymmetric if and only if R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}.
It will first be shown that if R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}, R on A is antisymmetric. Suppose R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}. Let R = {(x, y): x, y ? A}. By definition of inverse relation, R-1 = {(y, x): x, y ? A}. By definition of subset, if (x, y) ? R n R-1, (x, y) ? {(a, a): a ? A}. Hence, x = y, and so (x, y) ? R implies (y, x) ? R. Since x = y, ? (xRy ? yRx), x = y. Thus, by definition of antisymmetric, R on A is antisymmetric. Therefore, if R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}, R on A is antisymmetric.
It will now be shown that if R on A is antisymmetric, R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}. Let m, n ? A. Suppose that R on A is antisymmetric. Let R = {(m, n): m, n ? A}. Therefore, by definition of inverse relation, R-1 = {(n, m): m, n ? A}. Let (m, n) ? (R n R-1). By definition of intersection, (m, n) ? R and (m, n) ? R-1. Because (m, n) ? R-1, (n, m) ? R. Therefore, (m, n) ? R and (n, m) ? R. Since by definition of antisymmetric, (mRn ? nRm) implies m = n, then m = n. Notice that m and n are equal elements of A, and that (m, n) ? (R n R-1). Therefore, ? (m, n) ? (R n R-1), (m, n) ? {(a, a): a ? A}. Thus, by definition of subset, (R n R-1) ? {(a, a): a ? A}. Therefore, if R on A is antisymmetric, R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}.
It has been shown that if R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}, R on A is antisymmetric. It has also been shown that if R on A is antisymmetric, R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}. Therefore, a relation R on a set A is antisymmetric if and only if R n R-1 ? {(a, a): a ? A}.
Given that A and B are sets, (A - B) n (B - A) = { }.
Let A and B be sets. Suppose, for the sake of contradiction, (A - B) n (B - A) ? { }. Let x ? (A - B). By the definition of symmetric difference, x ? A and x ? B. Since (A - B) n (B - A) ? { }, by definition of intersection, ? at least one arbitrary element, x, in (A - B) and (B - A). By definition of symmetric difference, if x ? (B - A), x ? B and x ? A. ==><==.
Observe that if (A - B) n (B - A) ? { }, x ? A and x ? A. Because this cannot be true, it is not true that (A - B) n (B - A) ? { }. Therefore, (A - B) n (B - A) = { }.

What is the Jewish attitude towards rulers? The person before you may seem a god. He is a person, with the same stubborn flaws that afflict us all, if anything, they may be magnified by power.
"If you want to test a man's character, give him power," said Abraham Lincoln. It's a truism that power magnifies personality -- but is it true? A new study says no.

Introduction: Why Dispatches?
1. Conservatives continue to produce an amazing amount of excellent material that fails to reach a large enough audience. These op eds, studies, policy papers, videos, and many other educational tools would move more Americans to support conservative solutions — unfortunately most people are not reached with the message. Why not? Because conservatives do not fight adequately in the information war. It's not good enough to post and publish. What's needed is aggressive outreach to the uninformed and misinformed through all available avenues.
2. The conservative message would reach more people if more conservatives fulfilled their duty as citizens. Instead of being in the fight, too many of those on the right treat politics as entertainment.
3. On every single public policy issue, conservatives have made powerful arguments in support of their proposals. The "Dispatches University" section serves as an archive of just some of the great content conservatives produce. Links are added daily to serve as a library for anyone looking to learn more on the topics listed here.
About me
I am a Christian, an American citizen, and I work in the arena of applied political science. In addition to many years working in the private sector, I have worked in politics and government in Washington, D.C., and in Illinois at the state and local level. Currently, I am employed as a consultant in the political arena — working with bright, creative, and courageous people.
More about this website
Two topics dominate my own writing:
1) The fact that conservatives are not seriously fighting the information war, and a big reason for that is not enough conservatives actually participate in the political arena. It's not enough to stay informed and vote. We all have a duty as citizens to extend our views beyond ourselves (to paraphrase George Washington).
2) Founding Father John Adams said it: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Forget the laughable modern versions of morality. If you think everything the "progressives" trumpet is actually progress, you're sadly mistaken. On the contrary, much of what is happening today is actually regression. What results is American decline in all areas. If you think things are getting better economically, morally, and in the world, I'd suggest you change where you get your news and information from.
The three main sections of this website are: "The Latest," "Information War," and "Dispatches University."
"Information War" focuses on my writings on the real reason we're in a period of crisis both economically, morally, and in foreign policy: conservatives have failed to fight for hearts and minds. They have not made contact (words to eyes, sound to ears) with the majority of our fellow citizens who can be classified as low information voters.
About "Dispatches University"
First I should note that I was lucky when it came to my own college experience. I am a graduate of Virginia Wesleyan College, where I studied political science and political philosophy in the 1980s under two of the best — the late Dr. William M. Jones, and the late Dr. Edmund "Del" Carlson.
However…having had in-depth conversations with many graduates of many institutions of higher learning — and yes, that includes the infamous "Ivy League" schools, it's clear to me that hasn't been the experience of most college graduates.
My second point would be that these days anyone can get an education on any issue equal or superior to that which can be gained by attending college — thus the use of the word "university." I know many people who never attended college with a greater understanding of history and the world than graduates of schools that are supposedly good.
My third point is this: A flood of great policy research and commentary surrounds us — yet too many of our fellow citizens live in an informational drought.
As I update this page in March, 2016, that flood has reached epic proportions. As Noah saw the waters cover the earth in the book of Genesis, this information age has completely removed the excuse anyone with Internet access has for staying uninformed.
This includes, I must say, candidates for public office at any level — as well as their staffs.
On a weekly basis I use this website to link to materials that need to reach a much larger audience, but unfortunately do not.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme assays and gallium-scan results were obtained from 27 patients with biopsy-proven, clinically active sarcoidosis. Twenty-three of these patients had elevated converting enzyme levels, and 22 had positive gallium-scan results. Three of four patients with normal or borderline-elevated levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme also had positive gallium-scan results. Of 156 nonsarcoid patients (pulmonary and other diseases), 27 were found to have elevated serum converting enzyme levels, and 25 of these had negative gallium-scan results. These results indicate that the combination of an assay of angiotensin-converting enzyme and gallium scan increases diagnostic specificity from 83% to 99% without sacrificing sensitivity. We conclude that the concurrent use of angiotensin-converting enzyme assay and gallium scan is of value in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.

Are Aquarians and Scorpios
Suitable For Each Other?
Aquarius and Scorpio. What a relationship between the infinity of the Sky and the abyss of the Earth!
Total level difference! And a matching power between two extremes without which our life would be impossible.
Aquarius seems to deny his/her terrestrial origins, and Scorpio seems to forget his/her celestial ideal; one tends to go up and the other to go down.
It's practically a relationship between two sun signs that most often communicate on completely different frequencies. A combination usually thought of as impossible or very difficult, as Aquarius isn't very patient with Scorpio's emotional, introvert and jealous nature, while Scorpio will hardly tolerate Aquarius' careless independence.
The initial erotic attraction is stimulating, even fascinating, but Aquarius' unpredictable moods and Scorpio's possessiveness can cause break-ups rather often.
Still, the courageous (talking about the Aquarius) and the patient (meaning the Scorpio) can be happier than anyone could imagine, in spite of all bets and sad predictions. That is because Aquarius brings along a divine state of purity in love and Scorpio an irresistible force of affective revival.
This way, the relationship between the Sky and the Earth is one of permanent exchange of ideas, of mutual stimulation, in which Uranus' intelligence feeds Pluto's intuition and inspiration.
The risk regards Aquarius' fragility in front of any strong attacks from Scorpio.
Aquarius Woman - Scorpio Man
Love Match
The Scorpio man can't stand the whims of the Aquarius woman.
Whereas the Scorpio man is primarily preoccupied with home, the Aquarius woman gets involved in many social projects, which force her to neglect her home. Moreover, the Scorpio man can't dominate the Aquarius woman, who cherishes her freedom too much.
The Aquarius woman is very sociable, unlike the Scorpio man. In his turn, the Scorpio man doesn't appreciate at all the creativity the Aquarius woman proves to be gifted with.
The sex encounters between the Scorpio man and the Aquarius woman are quite good, but they are not enough to ensure the durability of the couple. It would be better if each of them followed their own path in life.

I know this has come up in some ancient threads but no solid answers it seems... esp. not recently.
I have the very latest WP 3.5 installed and am using the newest Starkers theme and the site has basically no content and only two plugins installed - Disqus and LockOut. Very bare bones at this point. And only using an admin account.
I have created more than 50 tags to use but when I create a new post and go to "Tags > Choose from the most used tags" I get the error "No tags found!"
I am perplexed but imagine the answer lies with a plugin conflict but that didn't seem to be it.
Is it because I created the tags all at once using the Tags page itself via "Add New Tag" and not one by one within each post? That can't possibly be it, can it?
Anyone else experiencing this issue with 3.5? Do I require a dunce cap? Stay tuned.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Darrel Michaud returns to look after the first month of free agency in the NFC South. The Saints brought up the rear in the division, and they made lot of changes. The Bucs won the division, and they've made almost none. Maybe these guys know something about how to run a football team.

A cone of silence has descended over the AFC West. Priest Holmes is mum on his health status. The Chargers' top brass has muzzled Marty Schottenheimer and A.J. Smith. The Broncos made some noise by trading up in the draft, but they are hush-hush about who they are taking. And the Raiders are keeping quiet about their new philosophy: a Commitment to Queen-Sized Beds.

Quarterbacks are the main topic of discussion in the NFC North this off-season, but in the latest installment of Four Downs, we'll ponder Matt Millen's next big move, the retirement of an underappreciated 28-year-old, and even the possible return of The Original Whizzinator.

Can college football stats somehow be used to predict which players will succeed in the NFL? It will surprise many to discover the answer is "yes." With this look at Matt Leinart, Vince Young and Jay Cutler, guest columnist David Lewin previews his college-to-NFL QB projection system, which will get its proper debut in Pro Football Prospectus 2006.

Al Bogdan breaks down the first few weeks of free agency in the NFC East, which mostly means the annual orgy of spending that is the Washington Redskins. It also means the T.O. signing, which Al says filled a hole Dallas didn't really have. Michael David Smith disagrees, explaining why it was a great move in this article at FOXSports.com.

A lot of people complained about the officiating in this year's playoffs. But just like players, officials cannot really be judged on a single game in the national spotlight. Guest columnist Matthew Furtek goes through several regular season games to judge the referee behind the most controversial calls of this past January. Bill who? No, we're talking about Pete Morelli, the man who overturned Troy Polamalu's interception in Indianapolis and presided over the infamous false start/offsides that was neither a false start nor an offsides.

How much would the Patriots miss Adam Vinatieri? How young are the Miami Dolphins? What does Eric Moulds' "personal assistant" actually do for a living? Does the Jets' depth chart have a single position without holes? These questions are pondered in the long-delayed final article from the first round of Four Downs.

Whether you fancy green spinach tagliatelle or a recipe using tagliatelle nests - find lots of inspiration for dried and fresh tagliatelle ribbon pasta.
This recipe is a delicious option for prawns. Prawns sauteed with asparagus and mushrooms, tossed with egg pasta.
Ribbons of pasta coated in bacon, eggs and cream make a warming supper dish, with less than half the fat of other versions of this popular Italian dish.
This pasta dish is an easy and light vegetarian supper, perfect to enjoy when asparagus is in season.
This updated version of the classic tuna casserole is made special with mushrooms, garlic and herb soft cheese, broccoli and petits pois. Great way to make the kids eat their veggies!
This succulent chicken in a creamy white wine sauce is to die for. Very good for a romantic night in with your loved one!

I have a series of research projects on my site. I also have many publications on my site that are pulled from zotero.org using the zotpress widget. When I view a project, I need to have a list generated of related publications for that project.
The list must be dynamic as it will have to change for each project that is viewed. I am thinking this is done through "tagging", where if the project "tag" matches the publication "tag", then it is a related publication. The publications from zotero.org have "tags" on them. However, the projects do not.
I am currently trying to use the zotpress widget to do this, but I'm beginning to think that I may have to try something else.
This is my first time posting to a forum. I apologize in advance if I am being too ambiguous about what I am trying to do or violating a rule(s) of forum posting.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Simple Definition of ragtag
: made up of different people or things and not organized or put together well
Examples of ragtag in a sentence
a ragtag group of musicians
<the team was a ragtag bunch who had only one thing in common: a lack of skill>
Did You Know?
Tag and rag was a relatively common expression in the 16th and 17th centuries, and it was often used pejoratively to refer to members of the lower classes of society. By the 18th century, the phrase had been expanded to "rag, tag and bobtail." That expression could mean either "the lower classes" or "the entire lot of something" (as opposed to just the more desirable parts - the entire unit of an army, for example, not just its more capable soldiers). Something described as "ragtag and bobtail," then, was usually common and unspectacular. "Ragtag and bobtail" was eventually shortened to "ragtag," the adjective we know today, which can describe an odd mixture that is often hastily assembled or second-rate.
Origin and Etymology of ragtag
ragtag and bobtail
First Known Use: 1865
Rhymes with ragtag
air bag, beanbag, black-flag, blue flag, brown-bag, chin-wag, dirtbag, dishrag, dog tag, do-rag, fleabag, flight bag, gasbag, grab bag, greylag, handbag, hangtag, ice bag, jet lag, kit bag, mailbag, mixed bag, phone tag, postbag, price tag, ragbag, ratbag, red flag, sandbag, schoolbag, seabag, sight gag, Sontag, sweet flag, tea bag, time lag, tote bag, washrag, white flag, wigwag, windbag, workbag, zigzag

I was so bummed when I bought a 4 pack of expensive, highly recommended vanilla bean creme brulee stout only to discover I am clearly not fond of stout beer (I'm a wine drinker anyway, but I love creme brulee). I decided to take on a plan B for my purchase since I didn't care for it as a beverage. Long story short, I hoped the flavor would dissipate or compliment the chocolate & it did both,beautifully! These are moist, dense & delicious. For anyone having issues with sticking or making these the first time, use cooking spray & parchment paper, no issues whatsoever. I used all dark chocolate chips & they were great. I usually like a fudgier brownie, but these are a nice change. I probably baked them 45-49 minutes. Thanks for sharing. I will be making at least 2 more batches! Oh, I also enjoyed these with a glass of blackberry wine...tasted like a chocolate covered blackberry!
We loved these and they are so fun to make! I added a few walnuts because I really like them and they turned out great. I will make these again!
I used Young's Double Chocolate Stout in the recipe and served them with mint chocolate chip ice cream (like one of the pictures suggested.) WOW, they were AMAZING! Very easy and great for a party :)

Steve, I sent you an E-Mail to your public Microsoft address. I may be able to help you out with this.
Great!!!!! I would like to help. I can help with spanish if you want.
Great Job!
Great work... I will be glad to help too. :)
App looks great thanks. Just a quick question, how do you store the data - what format is the bible files stored as, and as for performance can you save them as datasets as would a windows app?
@Joachim -- Thanks. I have optimized the file format for use on the phone -- it's a binary file that I open as a stream, and it contains indexes to help me find the locations I'm trying to seek to, among other things.
How about the NET version? (They'll public domain the non-notes version I think...)
I really like the simple clean look you have. I am glad people like yourself are putting fourth effort in this way.
Pocket esword was not very finger friendly, however it was by far the best phone bible I had ever seen before they sadly stopped developing.
One crucial feature they had was a KJV with strong's numbers below or in a green font beside. Would you be able to make this modular so others could upload other free translations, commentary, bible dictionary's etc?
Sometimes when I get stuck I will go to a paraphrase, or look up the definition of a word and then try to find all the other spots that word was used. I have no idea how hard it is to implement but a tool like that on wp7 would be fantastic.
anyways God bless and I hope this project goes smoothly
is this open source i would really love to translate to my native langauge thanks
