Thank you for your review! I also want to buy a new panasonic tv for my kids' room but I'm a bit worried.I read somewhere that a number of children are getting hurt in TV-related-fiascos, and I wouldn't expect my boys to stay calm with it either. I was thinking of mouting the TV on the wall. The most convenient one I found yet was FlexiMounts, but do you have any other ideas?

- //Haley Pharo
Singer and songwriter Haley Pharo crafts pop music that's clearly inspired by the Dr. Luke school of production, as the latest video from her recently self-titled album attests. The kinetic visuals and rapid-fire instrumentation of "Prisoner" make for a thrilling musical ride, one grounded in a strong performance by Pharo.
Pharo tells PopMatters the story behind both the music and the video for "Prisoner": "'Prisoner; was a song I wrote on a plane. In writing it I realized it was a cry for help to myself. I was allowing my heart to harden, acting as my own worst enemy in a sense. I had begun building walls so tall that I wasn't letting anyone truly know me and as a result left me feeling very lonely. I believe we're relational beings and not meant to shut other out regardless of past experience. The concept here was merely that. To fulfill the feelings I wanted met, I was going to have to push down these emotional barriers and let others in. It was a song that really taught me a lot about myself and evoked some change in who I wanted to be.
"When the director and I spoke about this video I really loved the idea of being trapped in space. Being lost in this floating feeling really hit me and was an outside the box approach to being a prisoner in a sense. Having people try to reach you, but you're lost in this other world."
Pharo's self-titled album is out now.

Twitter presented its mature, grown-up side at CommunicAsia this week, as the microblog service declared it and the likes of Facebook are redefining human interaction.
It took three years, two months and one day for Twitter to reach its first billion Tweets. Today, its members generate a billion Tweets every two days, said Aliza Knox, managing director, Asia Pacific, at Twitter.
"Social media is now so pervasive that I think it won't even have a name next year," she predicted during a keynote presentation. Instead, she thinks it will be called something like 21st century social life.
Rather than draw attention to the hordes of banal messages that appear on Twitter every day, not to mention the amount of bullying that takes place, Knox instead focused on the ability for Twitter to facilitate dialogue between people and politicians, corporations and brands, and its use as a platform for citizen journalism.
To tap its potential, Knox drew up a three-point plan.
"One: embrace social media. Two: leverage it to transform the people and communities around you. Three: Use it to increase your influence," she said. "You can't afford to be left behind."

If your addiction to video games has you pretending that you're a character in real life, then you'll be happy to know see this Warthog video game car from HALO has become a reality.
Our friends at Oh Gizmo write, "WETA Workshop has constructed a fully-functioning life-size version of the Warthog complete with four-wheel steering and and a machine gun I've already started packing my bags with the intent of traveling to New Zealand to steal or in some way commandeer this vehicle. I'll worry about sneaking it through customs later."

Various psychological effects that you've probably heard of, which look like they might not be true, or at least as powerful as once thought:
> Take the placebo effect. [...] ...the best studies now suggest that the placebo effect is probably very weak and limited to controlling pain. [...] Or take stereotype threat. [...] Again, doesn't replicate well in large studies, has a very suspicious funnel plot, and is starting to inspire doubt even among top researchers in the area. [...]
> Or take self-esteem. [...] By believing that you're a good person and likely to do well, good things will happen to you. Again, very popular in the '90s, but it hasn't aged well. Similarly, self-affirmations – where you say things like "I am definitely going to do well in school today" again and again and then it becomes true – but a new study has failed to replicate results showing their e... more »

This whole thing is like from an agent thriller or cyberpunk novel.
"Ahmed Mansoor is an internationally recognized human rights defender, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and recipient of the Martin Ennals Award (sometimes referred to as a "Nobel Prize for human rights"). On August 10 and 11, 2016, Mansoor received SMS text messages on his iPhone promising "new secrets" about detainees tortured in UAE jails if he clicked on an included link. Instead of clicking, Mansoor sent the messages to Citizen Lab researchers. We recognized the links as belonging to an exploit infrastructure connected to NSO Group, an Israel-based "cyber war" company that sells Pegasus, a government-exclusive "lawful intercept" spyware product. NSO Group is reportedly owned by an American venture capital firm, Francisco Partners Management."

> Since President Duterte was elected, and urged citizens and police to kill drug dealers who resisted arrest, Maria has killed five more people, shooting them all in the head.

> ...there is another reason to think that we might be on the cusp of a phase change into a higher growth mode in AI research: it's moving out of academia and into industry. There's more emphasis on getting results and less on looking clever. I've been in both and I can personally attest. Academia is a lot more fun; in industry you get a lot more done that is useful.
> In November 2005, attending a AAAI symposium, I found myself in casual conversation with one of the other artificial intelligence researchers at the reception. One of the hot topics of conversation in AI circles just then was the DARPA Grand Challenge.

> For a few minutes today the package "fs" was unpublished from the registry in response to a user report that it was spam. It has been restored. This was a human error on my (@seldo's) part; I failed to properly follow our written internal process for checking if an unpublish is safe. My apologies to the users and builds we disrupted.
> More detail: the "fs" package is a non-functional package. It simply logs the word "I am fs" and exits. There is no reason it should be included in any modules. However, something like 1000 packages do mistakenly depend on "fs", probably because they were trying to use a built-in node module called "fs". Given this, we should have deprecated the module instead of unpublishing it, and this is what our existing process says we should do.

Instead, you get– say– a trans girl who grows up with crippling dysphoria. Her childhood is pretty awful: her parents are abusive, she's regularly bullied in school for being 'gay', and her church makes it very clear that transness and homosexuality (much less both) mean you need to be tortured for eternity. Eventually, she finds her way into the queer community, where she hopes that she'll be able to find a home. But even her closest friends laugh at the idea that it would be possible to find cock attractive. She starts dating a trans guy who hits her, and no one believes her, because he's a trans man, and that's something cis men do, and didn't you see his great speec... more »

> In some situations a number of agents each have the ability to undertake an initiative that would have significant effects on the others. Suppose that each of these agents is purely motivated by an altruistic concern for the common good. We show that if each agent acts on her own personal judgment as to whether the initiative should be undertaken, then the initiative will move forward more often than is optimal. We suggest that this phenomenon, which we call the unilateralist's curse, arises in many contexts, including some that are important for public policy.

Nice article by Julia Wise on how to make groups more welcoming to people of all kinds.
> "Founder effect" in biology is when a few individuals start a population which then has limited genetic diversity; the same thing can happen in a social sense. If a group is founded by a few people in particular social group who then recruit their friends, the movement can (without anyone intending it) end up much narrower than it might be. A group founded by English-speaking upper-middle-class male utilitarians in their 20s might accidentally stay within that demographic if it doesn't make a conscious effort to include others.

Neat concept:
> Leak before failure is a fascinating engineering principle, used in the design of things like nuclear power plants. The idea, loosely stated, is that things should fail in easily recoverable non-critical ways (such as leaks) before they fail in catastrophic ways (such as explosions or meltdowns). This means that various components and subsystems are designed with varying margins of safety, so that they fail at different times, under different conditions, in ways that help you prevent bigger disasters using smaller ones.
> So for example, if pressure in a pipe gets too high, a valve should fail, and alert you to the fact that something is making pressure rise above the normal range, allowing you to figure it out and fix it before it gets so high that a boiler explosion scenario is triggered.

> The normal way to shift the risk of death is life insurance -- you die, the insurance company gives you money -- but there are other, more esoteric versions, and they are more susceptible to arbitrage. One version involves "medium and long-term bonds and certificates of deposit ('CDs') that contain 'survivor options' or 'death puts.'" Schematically, the idea is that a financial institution issues a bond that pays back $100 when it matures in 2040 or whatever. But if the buyer of the bond dies, he gets his $100 back immediately, instead of having to wait until 2040. He's still dead, though.

> I practiced the Tai Chi meditative form diligently, many hours a day. At times I repeated segments of the form over and over, honing certain techniques while refining my body mechanics and deepening my sense of relaxation. I focused on small movements, sometimes spending hours moving my hand out a few inches, then releasing it back, energizing outwards, connecting my feet to my fingertips with less and less obstruction. Practicing in this manner, I was able to sharpen my feeling for Tai Chi. When through painstaking refinement of a small movement I had the improved feeling, I could translate it onto other parts of the form, and suddenly everything would start flowing at a higher level. The key was to recognize that the principles making one simple technique tick were the same fundamentals that fueled the whole expansive system of Tai Chi Chuan.

Several people have explicitly told me that I'm one of the most rational people they know. I can also think of at least one case where I was complimented by someone who was politically "my sworn enemy", who said something along the lines of "I do grant that your arguments for your position are good, it's just everyone else on your side...", which I take as some evidence of me being able to maintain at least some semblance of sanity even when talking about politics.

Scientific endorsement of the noble lie:
"Science Is Not Always "Self-Correcting": Fact–Value Conflation and the Study of Intelligence", Cofnas 2015:
"Some prominent scientists and philosophers have stated openly that moral and
political considerations should influence whether we accept or promulgate scientific theories.
This widespread view has significantly influenced the development, and public perception, of
intelligence research. Theories related to group differences in intelligence are often rejected
a priori on explicitly moral grounds. Thus the idea, frequently expressed by commentators
on science, that science is "self-correcting"—that hypotheses are simply abandoned when
they are undermined by empirical evidence—may not be correct in all contexts. In this paper,

They go looking for hedgehogs, who just happen to be bad forecasters. Animated by a Big Idea, hedgehogs tell tight, simple, clear stories that grab and hold audiences. As anyone who has done media training knows, the first rule is "keep it simple, stupid." Better still, hedgehogs are confident. With their one-perspective analysis, hedgehogs can pile up reasons why they are right—" furthermore," "moreover"— without considering other perspectives and the pesky doubts and caveats they raise.

An argument for maximally open AI development:
> Consider that many current Internet services are free to consumers and paid for by clients who use the services to persuade consumers to buy products and to support political candidates and positions. Future AI will be able to subtly embed persuasion in its natural language conversations with consumers, and persuade by creating subtle peer pressure. This will ultimately enable it to control society. If the public demands transparency about what AI is used for, then such social manipulation becomes visible and can be resisted. A transparent environment will likely discourage any desire to create manipulative AI. Social manipulation is the AI outcome I fear most because it is such a natural progression from current practice.

Anti-meditation for sleep: When I have insomnia, the main problem seems to be that I can't drift off to sleep because there's nothing to drift off to. My mind is just too clear.
Yesterday I had an idea: in learning meditation, I've been honing the skill of noticing when I've drifted off to thought, in order to return my attention to my focus. Could I apply the same skill in reverse? Notice when I'm not drifting in thought, and go back to drifting whenever my mind feels like it's about to clear?
Seemed to work okay - I'm not sure if I actually fell asleep any faster, but at least I never started feeling frustrated, so it was a lot more pleasant. Also noticed that I did substantially less turning from one side to the other.

> One idea I taught was the importance of regaining presence and clarity of mind after making a serious error. This is a hard lesson for all competitors and performers. The first mistake rarely proves disastrous, but the downward spiral of the second, third, and fourth error creates a devastating chain reaction. Any sports fan has seen professional football, basketball, and baseball games won and lost because of a shift in psychological advantage. People speak about momentum as if it were an entity of its own, an unpredictable player on the field, and from my own competitive experience, I can vouch for it seeming that way. The key is to bring that player onto your team by riding the psychological wave when it is behind you, and snapping back into a fresh presence when your clarity of mind begins to be swept away.

The timing can't be made more sensitive because then it would be more sensitive than the lane lengths are:
> In a 50 meter Olympic pool, at the current men's world record 50m pace, a thousandth-of-a-second constitutes 2.39 millimeters of travel. FINA pool dimension regulations allow a tolerance of 3 centimeters in each lane, more than ten times that amount. Could you time swimmers to a thousandth-of-a-second? Sure, but you couldn't guarantee the winning swimmer didn't have a thousandth-of-a-second-shorter course to swim. (Attempting to construct a concrete pool to any tighter a tolerance is nearly impossible; the effective length of a pool can change depending on the ambient temperature, the water temperature, and even whether or not there are people in the pool itself.)

Yesterday evening, I didn't want to go to bed before I'd watched one more episode of a series of videos where a guy programs a computer game. Which consist pretty much just of him talking aloud as he's typing code, running it, and testing if it works as intended. It's highly enjoyable whenever I spot a potential problem in his code before he runs into it; also fun to see what kinds of architectural choices he's making.
Today, I find myself reading for pleasure the rules for a board game which I don't own, simulating the gameplay in my head from what I've read and mentally trying out how the different mechanics fit together.

Back when I was a teenager, there was a period when I was curious about neopaganism. One of the books I read at the time was called "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner".
Much later, I read an entirely unrelated book about polyamory, which had the title "Polyamory" and a subtitle which I never remember.
So whenever I tried to remember the name of the poly book, my mind would autofill the missing subtitle, so it would become "Polyamory: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner".
I have no idea what the contents of that book would have been - instructions on developing tulpas, perhaps?

Interesting piece on pixel art, remarkable also for the author's candid, not-blaming-anyone self-awareness. Basically, he's saying that while pixel art is a valid art style like any other, and not just something for "retro" or "low-tech" games, modern audiences tend to see it as a limitation or weakness. Even pixel art that actually has better artistic quality than a more modern-looking style suffers from a "pixel tax", causing it to be rated as lower in quality than the more modern style.
But then, he notes, a game artist's job is to make art that is "polished, inviting, and clear to the audience, not to also educate the audience that pixel art is a deliberate style". If people feel that pixel art in a game automatically means that the game is "retro", even though its game mechanics are in no way retro, then this... more »

Close to family that I was visiting.Posted Aug 14, 2016
Room was nice. Had to clean my coffee maker before I could use it. Didn't eat breakfast there. They only had cold cereal, Danish and muffins . I did get a cup of orange juice each morning. I prefer motels that do a hot breakfast.

Convenient and easy to get to shops and foodPosted May 12, 2016
Ok stay. The dark carpets did not feel or look fresh or clean although it did not smell. We had a non smoking room but there was a faint smell of smoke probably from the curtains or carpet. The top bed covering needs to be updated and one of the mattresses had blood spots on the side of the box spring evident of bed bugs although we did not see any bedbugs nor were we bitten. Kind of gave us the creepy crawly feeling! Beds and pillows were very comfortable and everyone we saw including other guests were pleasant. One other thing, when I booked this room online I was quoted $69.99 but was charged $89.99 and that was very disappointing. The continental breakfast had 3 Danishes (cold as if they'd been in fridge too long) and two boring muffins and dry cereal with a gallon of milk in fridge that had a pinch of milk left in it. That was disappointing as well.

Luxury Inn... Where Luxury ENDS!!!Posted Aug 4, 2015 on Hotels
This is one of the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The peep hole in the door had tissue sticking in it. There were bugs in the room and the shower head was broken. The floors were disgusting and the bed is NOT a full size it's smaller than a full and slightly bigger than a twin. My husband and I could not sleep together comfortably. This is far from luxury!!! The pool was even out of order. We would have went to another hotel but they were all booked. One thing is for sure... WE WONT BE RETURNING!

Pros: It was comfortable
Cons: Need more than one chair to relax in. Also need blackout curtains or curtains that will not let in so much outside light while trying to sleep.
Very nice hotel for the short stay. Nothing else to say.

I was there to attend my sister's funeral. I have no complaints about the Luxury Inn - the only reason I didn't give it full 5 ratings was because it is an older establishment. But the room was very clean - tv worked well, as did the air. I enjoyed my stay there.

Nice hotel need Concordia CollegePosted Jun 7, 2015
It was a pleasant place to stay for a few days. The room was clean. The staff was polite and handled any issues promptly and efficiently.
by A verified traveler from New Orleans
ComfortPosted Jun 7, 2015
Pros: Cleanliness, sleeping comfort (bed/pillpws), and friendliness of staff.
Cons: Breakfast/ironing board.
Location: Selma is a small historic town known for the the civil rights march called "Bloody Sunday". It was an important part of our country's history.
Being in a smaller town like Selma, this hotel was built a few years ago. With this being said, the owners/managers were very friendly and helpful. The two most important part of any stay (in my humble opinion) is the cleanliness and sleep comfort in terms of mattress and pillows. Both of these criteria were met/exceeded. Amenities were minimal, but that was not my intent on staying at this facility. I would stay here again. Thank you, Doug Nodurft

Debian Project Wants User Art for "Squeeze" OS
Contribute your own Squeeze Artwork and it may become the default background for the next version of Debian.
Contribute your own Squeeze Artwork and it may become the default background for the next version of Debian.
As the Debian Project readies Debian 6.0, (codename: Squeeze), project leader Stefano Zacchiroli has implemented a contest to decide the next desktop and boot theme. The aptly named Squeeze Artwork Contest, allows artists to submit their designs to the Debian wiki where members of the community can view the theme and access the SVN.
Two submissions have been made. The first theme, Nightly , features a starry night sky with the trademark Debian swirl in the center of the screen. The second proposal, Space Fun, features an illustration of the planet Saturn, with the Debian swirl made of stars and the trail of a Saturn rocket. The tagline, "The Universal Operating System" is present in the splash.
To create a wiki entry for your Debian theme, head to wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/. For art requirements, click here.

The programmatic ecosystem has evolved significantly over the past several years, and personalized retargeting as one of many programmatic solutions has become more and more prevalent. Today, it is obvious that using a single retargeter is not always optimal. In fact, running two to three retargeting campaigns with different providers can bring much better results without any additional cost. Here's why it works.

NOTE: This workshop applies toward Level III Roads Scholar program or can be applied as an elective in one of our leadership programs.
Human resource management covers more ground than people might initially imagine. Some may define it as interactions between employer and employee in the period between which an employee is hired until they are terminated. While this is true, human resources management begins even before this, with the policies that are created by the institution and the laws that govern workplace relations. Human Resource Management is the process of working with people so that they and their organizations reach full potential even when change precipitates the need to acquire new skills, assume new responsibilities and form new relationships. This course is designed to give you an overview of the key elements of human resource management.

NOTE: This workshop applies toward Level III Roads Scholar program or can be applied as an elective in one of our leadership programs. Communication with citizens is a central means by which democratic ideals are realized in county government. Responsibility for citizen communication goes far beyond just talk at commissioner meetings and includes listening, soliciting ideas, responding to complaints and sharing information through the spoken and written word. The demands and opportunities for communication with citizens are nearly endless. Which communication strategies are effective? Which promote good government? Which contribute to unnecessary conflict? Which help resolve conflict? Which maximize use of the commission's resources, including time?

You Won't See Us Lyrics
Artist: Ultimate Fakebook
Album: Electric Kissing Parties
Invisible sound - that's the color of our younger years
We're comin' to town - tell me are ya nervous?
You won't see us
Familiar sight - she's drunk and drivin' round in circles
Held up to the light while we were out there
Out in the Nowhere
You won't see us
The color of our younger years -
invisible suits us fine
You won't see us
The color of those seventeen years,
leavin' gave me quite a smile
There' nothin' to do - 'cept stay out late
and cause some trouble
Might've seen a movie, but they were always PG, or PG-13
Beware the invisible ones
You sweep them into your own backyards
Beware - we're invisible - in our town

Towerswitch LLC, an engineering firm based in Deerfield Beach, FL, has introduced Talking Alert! a new digital audio device designed to dramatically reduce accidents in the workplace.
The system, which was designed to prevent mishaps by telecommunications workers climbing tall broadcast towers, automatically triggers loud, audio safety messages and emergency alerts when danger is near.
Packaged in a compact (8in x 6in x 3in) weatherproof housing, the solar-powered Talking Alert! delivers up to 10 minutes of customized audio messages in any language by simply pressing the Information Button. The Emergency Button immediately notifies staff and security.
Using a built-in microphone jack, messages can be recorded, erased and rerecorded. Audio playback is initiated by pressing one of the front panel buttons, or by triggering an external input, such as an optional motion detector or magnetic contact on the door leading out to the antenna rooftop. A special magnetic contact is available for tower elevator applications. An on-board relay can also be set to notify security, or set off alarms.
The solar power feature has battery backup for redundancy, or it can be powered by AC electricity. A built-in Datalogger automatically records activations to verify scheduled maintenance and inspections, or site visits can be logged manually with a watch-key. Data is downloaded directly from the unit to a laptop or PDA.
Talking Alert! conforms with OSHA-mandated hazard communications standards, and because of the unit's potential to dramatically lower employer liability, major insurance carriers are considering Talking Alert! for safety-related discounts.
