Honesty Quotes and Sayings
Honesty is virtue, but when it kills the innocent, it's just as lethal a vice as murder itself.
It is easier to find a white raven, than a good and honest person nowadays.
Those who tells truth are with God, and those who tells lie are with the Devil.
Honesty is an expensive virtue, and no one is really 100% honest. People are by nature half- honest and half- hypocritical, and they naturally choose to be hypocritical if doing so is beneficial to them. There is always a constant struggle between honesty and dishonesty, but nothing can replace honesty in a pleasant, healthy and happy life.
– Dr T.P.Chia
Honesty is a expensive gift, so don't expect it from a cheap person.
Honesty leads us to perfection of life.
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.
– Oprah Winfrey
To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
– Mahatma Gandhi
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
– Mahatma Gandhi
How would your life be different if…You approached all relationships with authenticity and honesty? Let today be the day…You dedicate yourself to building relationships on the solid foundation of truth and authenticity.
– Steve Maraboli
Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good legacy name stands forever. Cheaters fade, they vanish and go away like nothing.
Be true to who you are.
Honesty will lead you further than lies.
Lies sound sweet and truth tastes bitter, but believe me or not, lies are worse than truth. Because once truth is exposed it's exposed but lies go on forever and one day you'll have to say the truth.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Mutual inductance of superconducting thin films89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1363687View Description Hide Description
We consider the concentric, two-coil mutual inductance technique. Highly accurate approximations for the complex-valued mutual inductance of thin filmsuperconductors in the Meissner state are derived. The ratio of the mutual inductance in the superconducting state to the mutual inductance in the normal state is derived for axisymmetric geometry and evaluated in limiting cases. This ratio is characterized not only by the two-dimensional screening length but by a combination of the macroscopic lengths of the coil geometry. The results have practical application for the electromagnetic response of superconducting thin films. Subsets of the results are relevant for inverting the mutual inductance to recover the penetration depth absolutely, and in studying the proximity effect.
Self-heating in small mesa structures89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1367880View Description Hide Description
We study analytically and numerically a problem of self-heating in small mesa structures. Our results show that self-heating is proportional to a characteristic in-plane size of the mesa. Experimental data for small high-superconductor Bi2212 mesas are in qualitative agreement with our calculations. We estimate self-heating in Bi2212 mesas with different sizes and demonstrate that self-heating can effectively be obviated in small mesa structures.
Spin-filter spin-valve films with an ultrathin CoFe free layer89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1359169View Description Hide Description
The concept of spin-filter spin-valve (SFSV) films is reviewed. The dependence of the free layer structure on the spin-filter effect was investigated by using model films and two types of free layers were compared, a single CoFe layer and a conventional NiFe/Co free layer. At the same magnetic thickness of the free layer, the SFSV films with a CoFe free layer showed a larger magnetoresistance(MR) ratio than those with a NiFe/Co free layer. This is partly attributed to the thinner CoFe free layer thickness, which is due to the fact that the CoFe free layer has higher than the NiFe/Co free layer. Moreover, SFSV films with a CoFe free layer still showed a larger MR ratio when the free layer thickness was the same. It suggests that other factors contribute to the high MR performance, such as the quality of the interface between a free layer and a high conductance layer. Film performance of MR 9% to 10%, 1.5–2.0 Ω, and was obtained with a single CoFe free layer and synthetic antiferromagnetic pinned structure.
Thermal activation of magnetization reversal in spin-valve systems89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1365428View Description Hide Description
Magnetization reversal in the pinned layer of exchange biased spin valves is a complex process due to the exchange interaction between the ferromagnetic layer and the antiferromagnetic layer. This interaction results in progressive reversal of the antiferromagnetic layer as the magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer changes direction. This reversal of the antiferromagnet will effect the subsequent reversal of the ferromagnet. It is known that this process is thermally activated but time dependence measurements are difficult to interpret, as the exchange field is nonconstant at many positions along the hysteresis curve. Measurements have been made of the time dependence of the reversal of the antiferromagnetic layer by measuring the recoil loops, following different times spent with the ferromagnetic layer saturated in the negative direction. In this manner, the exchange field can be assumed to be constant during the reversal of the antiferromagnet. These measurements show a shift of the loop of the pinned layer towards positive fields. This shift in the loop is interpreted as being the result of reordering of the antiferromagnet. Increasing the temperature during the time spent at saturation shows that the process is driven by thermal activation. Close examination of the degree of loop shift with time spent at saturation shows behavior consistent with thermal activation governed by a distribution of activation energies. At longer times and elevated temperatures, the behavior of the antiferromagnet reversal suggests that this distribution is complex and may be multimodal. The reversal process is, however, reversible even at high temperatures indicating that the elevated temperatures do not significantly change the structure of the ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic layers or the interface between them. Finally, measurements at 77 K show that the active portion of the energy barrier distribution will change significantly at low temperatures.
Magnetostriction of and Validity of the single-ion model89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1365079View Description Hide Description
Analysis of available experimental data on the temperature dependence of the tetragonal magnetostriction constant in and confirms validity of the single-ion model. The most important contributions to come from the second- and sixth-order terms, which are of the same order of magnitude. They also are similar in magnitude to the higher-order terms in the trigonal magnetostriction constant It is therefore concluded that the origin of the extraordinarily large in (where R is rare earth) is confined to the second-order, or quadrupole term in
Low current electroplastic effect in ferromagnetic materials89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1365435View Description Hide Description
The effect of an electric current on the indentation of nickel and copper samples was studied. Rectangular bars of nickel (99.7% pure) or copper (99.9% pure) with dimensions of were polished and mounted on a sample holder which provided electrical contacts at the sample ends. A dc currentI in the range of 0–15 A was injected parallel to the bar axis during Vickers indentation tests with loads of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 N. The tested surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy, and by x-ray diffraction. The nickelmicrohardness increased as a function of the current up to 10% for depending on the indenter loading, and then decreased monotonically by as much as 20–25%. The microhardness of the copper samples varied by less than 5% with I, except at a load of 0.25 N, where it increased up to 17% for then decreased for and then was approximately constant with further increasing of I. A theoretical model is proposed in which the decrease of the Nihardness is explained by the interaction between the current-induced magnetic field and magnetic domain walls.
Structure, magnetic properties, and coercivity mechanism of nanocomposite magnets prepared by mechanical milling89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1365430View Description Hide Description
Nanocomposite and 35) powders were prepared by mechanical milling and subsequent annealing.X-ray analyses show that hard phases can be 1:7, 1:5, or 2:7 phase with the increase of α-Fe content in as-milled powdersannealed at 550 °C for 30 min. The high remanence and maximum energy product were obtained by this method. The single-phase behavior of some powders was discussed according to the exchange spring model of Kneller and Hawig. For as-milled and 35) powdersannealed at 550 °C for 30 min, analyses of their initial magnetization curves and the coercivities of minor hysteresis loops in dependence on the applied field reveal that coercivities of these powders are all controlled mainly by domain wall pinning. The addition of α-Fe can not change the coercivity mechanism of powders, although it affects strongly their magnetic properties.
Phase separation as origin of the magnetic anomalies in89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1365060View Description Hide Description
The dependence of the ac-magnetic susceptibility of on the annealing temperature used during synthesis is addressed. Such dependence has been previously attributed to compositional inhomogeneities. Nevertheless, the presence of distinct phases with different chemical compositions is excluded after explorations by several techniques. Instead it is proposed that an electronic phase separation takes place in the material, whose state is changed after charge-carrier redistributions due to the thermal history of the samples, analogously to parent manganese-based perovskites.
Modeling the effect of grain size and dislocation density on hysteretic magnetic properties in steels89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1359167View Description Hide Description
In this article, the Jiles–Atherton model is modified to elucidate the variation of magnetic properties with grain size and dislocation density. The modified model predicts generally that coercive field increases with increasing dislocation density and inverse grain size and that remanent flux density and permeability at the coercive field decrease with increasing dislocation density and inverse grain size. Using the same model, it should be possible to model the effects of grain size and dislocation density on other magnetic measurements such as nonlinear harmonics of the flux density or Barkhausen noise.
Magnetoelastic effects and magnetic anisotropy in polycrystals89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1350630View Description Hide Description
Linear thermal expansion and magnetostriction measurements under a magnetic field up to 20 kOe, applied parallel and perpendicular to the measuring direction and in the temperature range of 10–300 K, have been performed on a polycrystal. The effects of zero-field cooling and field cooling on both the self-strain (H=0) and the magnetic-field-induced strain (MFIS) have been studied. We have found that the MFIS strongly depends on whether a magnetic field was applied during the cooling process. The applied magnetic field facilitates the growth of specific orientation variants along the field direction as the sample is cooled down through martensitic transformation. However, the application of a field in the martensitic phase induces a negligible motion of twin boundaries. On this basis, the singular point detection technique performed on polycrystalline specimens results in being the easiest and most direct way by which to determine the anisotropy field in this class of materials. The temperature behavior of the anisotropy constant and field has been determined for

Nathan Does Nathan's: Some Big Bites From a "Nasty" Wiener Win in Plano
The Countdown. [Part I] from Dallas Observer on Vimeo.
With his left hand cupping his mouth, "Nasty" Nathan Biller looks like he's having urges contrary to swallowing. He's hunched over a folding table, steadying himself with his right hand. And in that hand, he's clutching a hot dog. The only one left on the plate.
"Seven, six, five," counts the emcee, screaming into a microphone, as the audience shouts along with him in unison. "Four, thr…"
With two seconds left, "Nasty" Nathan stuffs the six-inch wiener, hot dog bun and all, into his mouth. He's chipmunking like crazy. He stands up, takes a sip of water to help get it down, then crumples back over the table. He stares down at four empty paper plates.

Each plate started with five dogs. Officials count the empty plates and remaining dogs, buns and debris of the other 14 competitive eaters, as he chokes down hot dog No. 20. But would that be enough to win, to qualify for Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island?
The Final Countdown. [Part II] from Dallas Observer on Vimeo.
To earn a spot in the Super Bowl of competitive eating, a gurgitator must win one of the qualifiers. And yesterday's qualifier held at a Sam's Club in Plano, was the first one ever held in the Dallas area. Under a 40-by-40 foot tent in the parking lot, about 150 people gathered to watch the 15 eaters do what they do best.
Starting at noon, the competitors had to scarf down as many HDBs -- hot dogs and buns -- as they could in 10 minutes, while songs like "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Eye of the Tiger" blared from the loudspeakers.
Bryan "The Chazzer" Lipchitz was nowhere near the pig his nickname suggested.
"I got six," he said. "It's hard, but I'm glad I did it. And that soggy bread is disgusting." After the contest, he officially announced his retirement from the world of competitive eating to Unfair Park.
However, despite only eating nine HDBs, Marc "Meat Sweat" Laureys said the contest was only the beginning of his career in competitive eating. "I really like oysters," he said. "So it'd be a fun road trip to head to New Orleans."
And in this, his first IFOCE event, Jim "Dr. Claw" Clawson ate a remarkable 10 HDBs. But, as far as local eaters goes, Timm "The InTimmidator" Dilling topped the homegrown gurgitators by eating a whopping 15.
By choking down 20, "Nasty" Nathan Biller of Wichita Falls managed to beat his personal-best record of 19 and a half HDBs. But, unfortunately for him, when the 10 minutes were up, he didn't beat his Californian archrival "Double-O" Kevin Ross -- they tied. A fitting result, because in the international rankings of the IFOCE Ross is ranked 29th and Biller the 30th.
"This is the first time in two or three years that we've had a tie," Ryan Nerz, the event's emcee, told the audience. The tie automatically triggered a rare two-minute eat off. After the contest, Nertz told Unfair Park that Ross had suggested a coin toss: "That's when I knew he was in trouble, but [Biller] wanted it -- the eat-off."
In the still, before the clock started again, Ross looked pale and concerned as he moved his cups around on the table, his fingers stained pink from dunking the hot dogs in cups of ruby-red Crystal Light.
As the eat-off started, they were neck and neck.
Earlier in the day, Biller repeatedly proved deserving of his nickname. "Nasty" Nathan had wiped everything from snot to wet bun crumbles off his jowls. But nothing he did could top Ross' actions in the final seconds of the eat-off.
After the final countdown, Ross had a "reversal of fortune," as it's called in the competitive eating circuit.
The Eat Off, or "So, That's a Reversal..." [Part III] from Dallas Observer on Vimeo.
"My Lord, ladies and gentlemen!" Nerz moaned. He was dressed in a striped seersucker suit and a straw barber-shop-quartet-style hat, but, for the first time, he came across more like a carny barker than emcee. Catching the material in his cupped hand, Ross paused for a second, like he was deciding whether or not to reverse the reversal. (Capiche?) Then he slung it to the floor and spit out the rest of a half masticated wiener.
It sounded like all 150 people watching let out a collective, "Aaaawww!" followed by an extended, "Eeewwwww!"
That cinched it. The contest was over. In the two-minute eat-off, after already devouring 20, Biller managed to stuff down five more HDBs. With his cheeks still bulging, Nerz declared him the winner.
As the crowd cheered and applauded, "Nasty" Nathan Biller stood with his hands held high above his head. He wasn't smiling. After all, it is hard to smile when you have a wiener in your mouth. --Daniel Rodrigue

If the new characters and songs become DLC, I'll pay for them. I already bought everything on the 3DS version.
Same here. And I just had to buy the remaining DLC songs mere minutes before I found out about the iOS exclusives.
Puts a bit of a buzzkill at my joy at the thought of owning a "complete" 3DS Theatrhythm.

25mins into the vid, and Zanarkard & Extreme have been altered from their 3DS versions (both songs are longer; more evident with The Extreme which has the opening of the song cut out)
edit: March of the Dreadnoughts is longer in the iOS version as well (at least I think it is cause I don't remember the Ultimate difficulty having a perfect chain of 369 in the 3DS version)

AUGH, all of this, especially the X-2 piece! I wanted that so badly on the 3DS and I'm so upset that the iOS is getting it but the 3DS isn't. Same with OWA: AC version but not near to the same level. DX
At the most, they'd need to put an update in the 3DS shop in order to let us have the new mode, characters, and tracks. It's frustrating that the iOS gets all the nice things but those of us who can't afford an iPad/iPhone likely won't be seeing many things we wanted on the 3DS anytime soon if at all. >C
When KH3 releases, I will eat lots of popcorn watching people be lost as they don't understand anything that was in the handheld "filler" they skipped

De Atramentis Ocher Yellow (35ml Bottled Ink) is rated out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tracy Belford from Another DA Success I have a strong bias for DA inks. They have performed well in my pens, flush easily from the pens when cleaning, and the flow is very consistent from pen to pen. The Ocher Yellow is no exception. I love how it dries to a color akin to a baked pumpkin pie. It is a more golden alternative to most standard browns, and is not too light on a page to make reading awkward. It has a particularly nice appearance on cream colored or light pink paper.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Graham Solana from Lovely and individual ink I recommend getting a sample to experience this ink and understand its performance. It gives a bit of a roller coaster ride in a Pilot Metro, but in a good way and has a controlled generosity in a Lamy Safari with an EF nib. This ink pairs well with G. Lalo champagne stationery as the tone harmonizes with the paper color and the envelope's tissue liner, as well as, taking on an archival sepia nature in that setting.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not the color I was expecting I'm usually a big fan of DA inks, but this ink just didn't provide the color I was expecting. I was looking for a richer butterscotch color with a hint of orange (which is how the sample appears on my monitor). Instead what I got was an ink that looks more like cantaloupe orange with just a hint of brown. If was far paler than I was expecting, and I found it too light to read comfortably. It flowed quite well (which is common for DA inks), and dried relatively quickly despite the flow, but the color just wasn't what I was looking for.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maryanne Moll from An unusual and interesting color I like this because it's neither here nor there. It's one of the ink colors that I really have fun signing certain office memos with, while using a Brause #361, because it makes people take a second look and "feel" my signature with their fingers.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lori from Beautiful Color, But . . . Great color, lovely shading, easy to read but feathered and bled through on every paper I used it on (except Clairefontaine). Too bad.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marsha L Browne from Gorgeous... just gorgeous. The color is terrific, and deep enough to be interesting, with a hint of orange and brown.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by MeganAlissa from A lovely burnt orange If this ink was actually a yellow color I would not have wanted it, since I don't generally like yellow. However, the color is much closer to a lovely burnt orange and it reminds me of a pumpkin spice latte. It is a perfect ink for fall!

The remodeling industry has shown solid growth for the past two years and there's no sign it's letting up. Experts said some 43 million homeowners a year attempt a do-it-yourself project, and an estimated one in five suffers an injury.
In today's Angie's List report, how to avoid a D-I-Y gone bad.
"All of us will attempt DIY projects at some point in our life," said Angie's List Owner, Angie Hicks. "Let's face it, it's fun, it's your house, you enjoy doing things to make it a better place, but you need to know whether you are getting yourself in over your head. If it's a project you've never tackled you might consider consulting with a professional."
"I love D-I-Y," said homeowner, Sarah Saucedo. "I love projects. I thought this one would be really simple. I've painted doors before. I use spray paint all the time and this was going to be really simple, maybe an hour long project if that and it turned into a huge mess."
"When you get into a project like that it seems a bit daunting to begin with, but then you start the demo and you take the walls down and you take out a cast iron tub and see all the inner workings and that's where you start to see the complexity," said homeowner, Jonathan Metzger.
"Using D-I-Y to repair things around the house may not be the best idea," said Hicks. "Let's face it, a lot of those repairs are mechanical issues, water, and duct tape is not the solution. The quick and easy solution could actually lead itself to bigger problems in the long run."
"I have a backdoor that had grids in it and I decided to take those off," said Saucedo. "I painted the door and then I wanted to take the grids off to spray paint them black because I thought that would be a lot easier than hand painting them. So I took the grid off, went around the corner for a little bit, came back and the door had fallen outside, thank goodness, and was in a million pieces."
When it comes to D-I-Y repairs, Angie's List said don't settle for temporary fixes. Skipping steps or forcing things together may provide temporary solutions to short-term problems, but they often don't last.

Brandon Gonzales Officially Becomes A Prospect To Watch
One week after most publications finished filing their "Best Of…" lists for 2010, Gonzales officially plead his case for prospects to watch in 2011.
The Sacramento-based middleweight headlined the season premiere of Telefutura's Solo Boxeo Tecate with a convincing eight-round decision win over fellow prospect Lester Gonzalez.
Scores were 79-73 and 78-74 (twice) in a bout that aired live from Fairfield, California.
The bout was never a rout, but also never reached a point where Gonzales was ever in trouble. The conventional versus southpaw style matchup didn't cause for any awkward moments in a free-flowing contest, although largely controlled by Brandon's superior boxing skills.
When the jab alone wasn't enough to keep Gonzalez at bay, Gonzales opted to work the body, which served him well in the middle rounds.
Action never truly progressed from the tactical level, though was evenly-paced enough to keep the night moving and the crowd entertained. The threat of a knockout was never imminent, but it didn't stop Gonzales from pushing harder down the stretch, at the very least determined to put on a show wrapped in a boxing clinic.
The 26-year old managed to do just that, upping his record to 14-0 (10KO) as a result. The bout was his first since last summer, and also his first fight in California after having spent the past year and change fighting in Nevada.
Things suddenly don't look quite as rosy for Gonzalez. After jumping out to a 10-0 start, the 33-year old Cuban southpaw has just one win in his past four contests. The loss is his second straight as he falls to 11-2-1 (6KO).
The televised co-feature saw hometown favorite Alan Sanchez rediscover the win column with a unanimous decision over battle-tested veteran Cristian Favela in a spirited, albeit one-sided affair.
Sanchez was in control for most of the bout, save for a brief power outage that put the fight on hold with about 30 seconds to go in the opening round. The lights in the arena flickered on and off, causing a delay of more than two minutes before action resumed.
From that point onward, it was all Sanchez, who was badly in need of a win. 2010 was not the kindest of years for the local prospect, who entered the year coming off of a loss and ending with a loss and draw heading into Friday's contest.
The virtual shutout puts Sanchez back in the win column, as he improves to 6-2-1 (2KO).
Favela, who only recently remembered what it was once like to win fights, ends a two-fight losing streak as he falls to 28-31-7 (18KO).
The show was presented by Don Chargin Productions and Golden Boy Promotions.

Maria Bello books NBC's 'Prime Suspect' lead
Now she only has to measure up to Helen Mirren
One of the highest profile lead roles of this pilot season has gone to Maria Bello.
According to simultaneously appearing media reports -- let's credit Variety -- Bello signed on to topline NBC's reboot of "Prime Suspect."
In the Alexandra Cunningham-scripted pilot, Bello will play the American equivalent of the Jane Tennison role, which earned Helen Mirren six Emmy nominations and two wins for her work in the original ITV series.
Bello was one of the leading contenders for the role last pilot season when NBC elected not to move forward with a Hank Steinberg-scripted "Prime Suspect" due to casting challenges.
Peter Berg is set to direct and executive produce the Universal Media Studios pilot.
Bello is a known quantity for NBC, having appeared on "E.R." and, most recently, on multiple episodes of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." Most recently seen in "Grown Ups" and "The Company Man," Bello picked up Golden Globe nominations for her work in "The Cooler" and "A History of Violence."

Charleston's Board of Architectural Review has given conceptual approval to the design of a new building at the corner of Meeting and Columbus streets where the parent company of The Post and Courier wants to build a mix of apartments, retail and commercial space.
The approval at Wednesday's meeting came as Mayor Joe Riley appeared at the session and gave an endorsement.
"This is a very important development in our city," he said of the project. He called the design "exemplary."
Evening Post Industries wants to redevelop 12 acres around the newspaper's downtown building. The first phase covers the open lot at Meeting and Columbus streets. The project has been dubbed Courier Square.
The plan calls for a mix of 75 percent ground-floor retail, with additional commercial space available on the Meeting Street side. The design would be in a European street block style.
On the back side would be apartments designed in brick, giving it a 19th century industrial mill look.
While a minority of three members voted against approval, board member Bill Wallace spoke in support, saying the design "fits in exactly" with that part of the city.
Wednesday's approval was the first of three the BAR has to grant as the project moves forward in the permitting process.
In all, up to 2 million square feet of residential, retail and offices could be added to the space around the newspaper property in the next 10 to 15 years.

Steve Dow, partner at Sevin Rosin Funds in Dallas, told the New York Times in 2006 that "the VC model is broken." A recent survey from executive search firm Polachi Inc. polled more than 100 venture capital executives, 70% of which were partners or managing partners. It found that a majority, 53% of respondents, indicated the venture capital industry is "broken." With a less than receptive IPO market and the credit markets tightening down on M&A activities, VCs are finding few exits for their existing investments. PE shops are faced with refinancing over $300 billion of LBO debt over the next two years. Endowments and pension funds that serve as the limited partners firms are reassessing their investment in the entire asset class and are hamstrung by the denominator effect. Will this funding gap affect the US' ability to develop new technologies and create new jobs? Many ask, "Why aren't there more Googles" and "What will be the next big thing?" Personal computers were the catalyst in the 1980s, the internet was the catalyst in the 1990s and social networking has been a catalyst in recent years, but what will be the growth driver in the next decade? With this background, this presentation will discuss the golden years of private equity, the current environment and what the future holds for this industry and entrepreneurial activity.

25 Things To Do That Will Make You Successful
Do you want to live a successful life? If you do, this will be the article that you cannot miss out. What you are going to discover here are the 25 tips that you can use, practice and ponder about and they will give you insight and inspiration in your journey…
1. Ask yourself, "Who I want to be?" Life is short, so don't waste any moment wandering around and getting nowhere. If you want to be successful, you need to find out what you desire to achieve in your life and that will lead you to, who do you want to be?
10 Reasons Why Success Is Difficult
Everyone wants to be successful, but not everyone is successful. It depends on how you define 'being successful', for most people, living a successful life simply means being financially successful.
And we all know that living a successful life is not something easy to achieve. It is definitely possible for every one of us to achieve abundance in wealth, but it is also something difficult. If it is not difficult, you will not be reading this right now, right? If it is something easy to do, everyone would be a millionaire by now.
So why do you think most people are not successful? Below are my 10 reasons…
How To Create Explosive Desire To Achieve Super Success In Life
Do you want to be successful? Everyone wants to be successful, but not everyone is successful. Well, it depends on how you look at it, being successful can be as simple as if you are able to wake up healthily every morning, then you are successful. Unfortunately, the society never gauges success this way.
Our society gauges success by fame, money and power. And this is why many people are pursuing financial freedom and material items as a means to prove that they are successful. There is nothing wrong with being rich or living just an ordinary life. It all depends on what you want to do with your life exactly. However, if you are striving to get better and want to be financially successful, then this article will be of great help.
From my previous article, we all know that creating a burning desire is one of the most important keys to our ultimate success. Without having a strong desire toward the goals that we want, it will be impossible for us to take massive action because our desire is not strong enough. We often feel no motivation and no drive to take action all because we don't really want to get the things that we say we want.
15 Powerful Things To Do To Achieve Your Goals And Build A Successful Life
Want to be successful and achieve all the goals you set? Here are 15 powerful things you can do to accomplish your goals and build the successful life you desire…
1) Write down your goals. Or even better, write down your goals every day. You want to program your goals into your subconscious mind and that is why you need to keep on bombarding the idea of achieving your goals into your mind. Most people never do this because they are not committed and not serious about their goals.
2) Think about your goals. Yes, simply thinking about what you want can help you in achieving them. This is what the Law of Attraction is all about. You have to imagine the achievement of what you desire and feel good about it. Do you know that great people think about success all the time while ordinary people think about other unimportant stuff most of the time?

In this fully revised edition of his best-selling guide, he demonstrates vital new sequences essential for very young babies, which can be done while a baby is clothed.
Site, Sight, Insight: Essays on Landscape Architectureby Peter Walker Jane Brown Gillette John Dixon Hunt
Site, Sight, Insight presents twelve essays by John Dixon Hunt, the leading theorist and historian of landscape architecture. The collection's common theme is a focus on sites, how we see them and what we derive from that looking. Acknowledging that even the most modest landscape encounter has validity, Hunt contends that the more one knows about a site and one's own sight of it (an awareness of how one is seeing), the greater the insight. Employing the concepts, tropes, and rhetorical methods of literary analysis, he addresses the problem of how to discuss, understand, and appreciate places that are experienced through all the senses, over time and through space.Hunt questions our intellectual and aesthetic understanding of gardens and designed landscapes and asks how these sites affect us emotionally. Do gardens have meaning? When we visit a fine garden or designed landscape, we experience a unique work of great complexity in purpose, which has been executed over a number of years--a work that, occasionally, achieves beauty. While direct experience is fundamental, Hunt demonstrates how the ways in which gardens and landscapes are communicated in word and image can be equally important. He returns frequently to a cluster of key sites and writings on which he has based much of his thinking about garden-making and its role in landscape architecture: the gardens of Rousham in Oxfordshire; Thomas Whately's Observations on Modern Gardening (1770); William Gilpin's dialogues on Stowe (1747); Alexander Pope's meditation on genius loci; the Désert de Retz; Paolo Burgi's Cardada; and the designs by Bernard Lassus and Ian Hamilton Finlay.
The Weekend that Changed the World: The Mystery of Jerusalem's Empty Tombby Peter Walker
The Weekend that Changed the World is a superb title for the events of Good Friday and Easter. That weekend did indeed change the world, so much so that now, almost two thousand years later, a third of the world's population, in every country and nationality, worship the carpenter-teacher who was executed and then raised from the dead on that weekend long ago which changed the world for ever.

Producer prices up in June due to energy price increase
July 17, 2000
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods advanced 0.6 percent in June, seasonally adjusted. This index showed no change in May and declined 0.3 percent in April.
Prices for finished energy goods jumped 5.1 percent, following a 0.5- percent decline in May, and caused June's acceleration in the finished goods index. By contrast, the index for finished consumer goods other than foods and energy edged down 0.1 percent, after increasing 0.2 percent a month ago.
During the first six months of 2000, the finished goods price index advanced at a 4.8-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate, after rising at a 3.8-percent rate during the latter half of 1999. Leading this acceleration, prices for finished energy goods rose at a 26.6-percent annual rate in the first half of this year, following a 20.7-percent annual rate of increase during the final six months of last year.
From June 1999 to June 2000, prices for finished goods gained 4.3 percent (unadjusted). During the same period, the index for finished energy goods increased 23.4 percent, finished goods other than foods and energy rose 1.4 percent, and finished consumer foods advanced 1.6 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS Producer Price Index program. Find out more in Producer Price Indexes, June 2000, news release USDL 00-202. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.

Hi, I'm Jon Reid. I've been practicing Test Driven Development (TDD) since 2001, and applying it to Objective-C since 2005. I'm the author of OCHamcrest and OCMockito.
My Speaking Appearances
I've spoken at the following conferences and meetups:
- Mobile Central Europe 2014 and MCE^3 2016
- eBay Tech Talk Berlin
- CocoaConf San Jose
- iOSDev UK
- NSSpain
- CocoaPods Test Jam
My Content
My mission is to help iOS developers create Clean Code. Any coder can hack out programs that "work" at first. But will you be able to easily modify it over many years, or across multiple projects?
That's why I write on TDD, unit testing, architecture & design, project structure & language, and tools. You can find out more on my Start Here page.
My goal is to equip you with practical approaches that you can put to work. If you've ever been frustrated by fragile code, or interested in unit testing but afraid it would slow you down — then this blog is especially for you.
I try to post once a week. To make sure you don't miss my newest posts, you can subscribe via email. It's quick, easy, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
My Biography
I became interested in programming during junior high school, at the American School In Japan. But I really caught the bug during my 9th grade year, when I lived next to Earlham College. I entered programs from BASIC Computer Games on their PDP-11/70.
Back at the American School In Japan, the computers upgraded from FORTRAN punch cards sent to some mainframe in downtown Tokyo, to Radio Shack TRS-80's. My friends and I started writing programs in earnest, such as different implementations of Conway's Game of Life.
I studied computer science at Purdue University. While back in Japan, I met my wife-to-be who, like me, was a missionary kid. We married and went to Japan for three years as Christian missionaries ourselves. I worked in the computer science department of Tohoku Gakuin University in Sendai, where I extended Knuth's "literate programming" system to handle Japanese text.
I became interested in various ideas that promised to make programming better, such as code generation and verification. But what really caught my attention was something new called object-oriented programming. Back to school I went, this time for a master's at UIUC. I learned Smalltalk.
My wife & I started raising children and moved to Silicon Valley, where I've worked for various companies. A wonderful book about object-oriented design came out called Design Patterns. Hungry for more, I searched the web and found the very first wiki, c2.com. It was filled with discussions about design patterns, discussion of different styles of wiki use, and another new thing called Extreme Programming. I learned about the Extreme practices, including "test-first programming" — later renamed Test Driven Development.
I began teaching on best practices at my work, wherever that happened to be. I wanted to share with more people, so I started this blog. Speaking engagements followed. I am now available for on-site training and consulting / code reviews.
