TSO Networked Products - Management of Risk (OGC)
Risk and risk management can sometimes be misunderstood. There is a view that the prudent approach is to avoid risk by simply maintaining the status quo. Linked to this is the idea that audit is a barrier to risk taking and innovation. Also spending time developing risk management strategies can sometimes be perceived as mere pointless bureaucracy.
Failure to take opportunities can be a huge risk in itself. By not looking at new ways of doing things organisations can miss out on real opportunities to manage better their business, improve service delivery and achieve value for money.
Following the Turnbull report organisations are now busy working on risk management frameworks and internal control statements to embed risk management in their management processes.
Management of Risk draws on experience from a variety of experts from the public and private sectors. It sets out a framework for taking informed decisions about risk at a project, programme and strategic level to ensure that key risks are identified, assessed and that action is taken to address them.
If you plan to use the CD-ROM version of Management of Risk on more than one workstation, your organisation is legally obliged to purchase a network licence. Besides this legal requirement, there are benefits to be gained by networking Management of Risk across your organisation.
Benefits of the Networked Management of Risk:
- Maximum access to the publication through any workstation within your organisation, and represents a considerable saving on duplicated copies
- The full text can be downloaded onto your intranet, giving access and search capability throughout your organisation
- All amendments and revisions issued throughout the year are available company wide simultaneously to avoid working at cross-purposes.
- Network licence holders benefit from dedicated management resource at TSO.

ECS to Announce LIVA Mini-PC with Intel Core Processor
Subject: Systems | December 17, 2015 - 11:36 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: mini-pc, LIVA, intel core, ECS, CES 2016
ECS will announce a new LIVA mini PC at CES 2016, which they are describing as a "one-liter book-size Core i mini PC".
"ECS is proud to introduce its brand new LIVA mini-PC - One at CES 2016. It features a flexible hardware configuration in a book-size, one-liter form factor. In addition, LIVA mini PC with Windows 10 will have a remote control application natively built-in; providing full wireless usage with your own mobile devices."
No images were provided, but the prospect of an Intel Core processor alone makes it a much more attractive proposition than prior versions which use underpowered Atom processors.
The first three generations of LIVA from our look at the LIVA X2.
PC Perspective will be covering CES as new products are officially unveiled, and we will have more on this new hardware from the show.
CES 2015: Intel Introduces NUC Hardware with 5th Generation Processors - Broadwell Arrives
Subject: Systems | January 6, 2015 - 08:09 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: nuc, intel core, Intel, ces 2015, CES, Broadwell
Intel has announced new NUC units with 5th generation Intel Core processors and a dizzying array of complex model names.
It comes as no surprise that Intel's NUC lineup hs been upgraded to their newest 5th generation Core architecture, and these new units are powered by Core i3 and i5 Broadwell CPUs. The move to Broadwell will enable these new NUCs to operate with greater efficiency and lower power consumption, an especially vital advantage for systems housed in enclosures as small as 115mm x 111mm x 48.7mm (4.53" x 4.37" x 1.92"). There are a variety of new models to choose from, and Intel is highlighting specific usage examples to aid in the buying decision.
The featured NUC, memorably named NUC5i5RYH, is powered by the Core i5 5250U CPU which offers dual-core, 4-thread performance up to 2.7 GHz and supports 2.5" hard drives. Graphics are handled by the integrated Intel HD 6000 GPU which offers multi-display support via Mini DisplayPort (1.2) and Mini HDMI (1.4a). This model supports up to 16GB dual-channel DDR3L memory via two SoDIMM slots, with connectivity provided by Intel PRO Gigabit Ethernet and Intel Wireless-AC 7265.
Storage options for the NUC5i5RYH include M.2 (x4) and SATA 6.0 Gb/s for a SSD/HDD up to 9.5mm thick.
The NUC5i5RYH is joined by the NUC5i5RYK, NUC5i3RYH, NUC5i3RYK... Actually, just follow the link to see a comparison of the new Broadwell NUCs.
The new Broadwell NUCs will be shipping in February and March, depending on model.

Introduction and Design
The last three years have been great for ultraportables and netbooks. Laptops with displays below fourteen inches in size have exploded in popularity thanks not only to Intel's Atom, but also a wide selection of Intel ultra-low voltage products. Many of the laptops that we've reviewed over the past year, such as the Lenovo IdeaPad U260 and the Alienware M11x, would have been impossible prior to the release of those processors.
Mainstream laptops have enjoyed less progress, however. The 15.6" laptop remains the most popular category with consumers, but while it has enjoyed a boost in performance with the release of the original Core i series processors, issues like battery life and graphics performance remained largely unaddressed. These mainstream laptops have continued to represent a major compromise, as they've been unable to provide great battery life but also (unless supplimented with a discrete GPU) lack the chops to play any but the most basic 3D games.
According to Intel, these flaws could soon be addressed. Intel's Sandy Bridge mobile processors are nothing short of the savior of mainstream laptops. These processors not only offer the typical improvements in speed but also drastically improved integrated graphics and provide much better battery life.
Or, at least, that's what Intel says. They've said such things in the past, however - Intel's IGPs have often promised more than they can deliver. But every piece of hardware deserves a fair shake, and now it's time for Intel's Sandy Bridge to step up to the plate, appearing today in the form of the ASUS K53E. Let's see what is under the hood.

Host multiple domains? (not for resale)
Hey All,
Im new to WHT
I am a developer and I am currently looking for a host to host a personal website of mine. I am going to use the site for a blog, picture gallery, resume, and also for testing purposes. I will probably be developing other web applications that I would like to run on the server. I also need a good amount of disk space (>= 3 gigs), as I would like to host large image files through my gallery. I dont foresee the site generating a huge amount of traffic but a decent amount of bandwidth is required.
I dont need any preinstalled software, as I will be writing the site on my own, all I need is the basic LAMP setup and want something very responsive. Mainly I will be using PHP or Perl but I would like to also have the option to use Java Servlets (Tomcat) or C++. Shell access would also be a huge plus. I know enough about Unix so support is not a major issue of mine as long as the service is reliable and I get a good amount of computer resources.
I also would like to have the option to host other domains on the account at little or preferably no cost. I am NOT looking to resell my account, but instead put up other work or test related sites for myself. So I do not need a control panel or anything else for that matter.
Cost is a major issue for me, as I would like to spend no more than $15 a month, maybe $20 if I could get root access and install my own software.
Can you give me any advice as to what I should be looking for? Is a reseller account the only account I can host multiple domains on? Should I look into a cheap VPS or will I not be able to run LAMP stably because of RAM limitations? Are there good, shared web hosts out there that allow multiple domains with my requirements?
Thanks for the help

Reseller, VPS or even a large multi-domain package would work for you. My only advice is to do some searching here for reliable hosts, contact them, express your needs, and see what can be done. There are many good hosts who could fulfill your requirements for hosting.

I think VPS is going to be your best bet. It will have the flexibility you need, although you may have to pay a little more than what you're asking for a reputable supplier.

The first thing that comes to my mind is Micfo. I know they offer Tomcat and SSH access. I have an account with them myself, and am very satisfied.

I originally started writing the Loonies on the Path series about traffic simply for the purpose of recording what I observed in the way of a correlation between weather changes and other external stimuli and people acting crazy in traffic. I got away from that gradually, as my daily drive through Cordova, Tennessee involved dealing with mentally deficient assholes and bitches so often that the weather and such clearly had nothing to do with it. But this time is different.
Yesterday, Thursday, I had to drive 200 miles in the evening. I headed out at around 7 pm and got home after 11:30 pm. During my drive I saw the worst insanity I have ever experienced in traffic.
I was in my 4-wheel-drive truck, which is not small, but not a gigantic intimidating monster either. It's just an old SUV. I wasn't in a bad mood and I wasn't in the mood to play with idiots in traffic. Yet over and over I kept having other drivers blow up around me for seemingly no reason at all.
I had people get pissed off if I was behind them, slowing down for no reason and then getting behind me and riding my ass, then hitting their brights when they reached a point at which they needed to turn off the highway. I checked how I was following people. Was I riding their asses? No. Were my headlights on high beam? No, they were on the normal setting, and were not especially bright.
Speaking of headlights on high, I noticed an unusually high number of drivers running around with their high beams on, and when anyone flashed at them they would refuse to turn them off, or else they would turn them off briefly, until they were right up at the oncoming car who had flashed them at which point they would flip them on again, blinding the person intentionally as they passed in the opposite direction, as if that person had somehow insulted them by informing them that their high beams were on.
I had an idiot in a white Ford Escort wagon driving slow in the left-hand lane ahead of me. I was on cruise control and slowly caught up with him. I was in the right-hand lane and of no concern to him whatever. Yet when he saw that I was passing by him, he got angry and sped up, flying up the highway for a ways and then slowing down again. Of course, I caught up with him again. And once again, he got his panties in a wad and punched the gas again, speeding off in a rage. He did this three times before really getting mad and flipping his brights on and off and noticeably screaming at me as he threw a hissy fit inside his car. I don't know what he said, but I decided not to react.
Yes, I know you may find this hard to believe, especially if you've read my blog for any length of time and are familiar with this series of traffic-related posts. But something was seriously off with everyone and I decided that the best thing I could do if I wanted to make it home as fast as possible and with minimal bullet holes in my truck was to do absolutely nothing when these idiots starting flipping out. Because EVERYONE was flipping out.
So I let Billy Bob Escort have his tantrum and speed off again without responding to him. I didn't even cuss him silently to myself. Instead, I started looking up to see if I could find the moon. Was it a full moon? Not that I could see. And the weather, anything odd happening with that? No, it was a normal spring day, not too hot and not too cool. The pollen count was up a bit, so allergies were a possible explanation. Still, this seemed way too extreme and too widespread to be allergies. EVERYONE was a fucking lunatic tonight. I couldn't come up with any explanation at all.
I had several people driving slow in the passing lane who got mad when I or anyone else went past them. I had several people riding my ass like a gay Boy Scout leader in the woods, even though they could have easily passed me if they actually wanted to. But no, they WANTED to ride my ass.
I kept my cruise control on. I kept a watch on my blinkers to make sure I wasn't driving around with either of them on, which seems to send a signal to everyone that you are a fuck up, although it can just as easily mean that you drive a Ford truck and thus have blinkers that make no sound to alert you that they are still on (what is up with that, Ford?) I made sure, over and over, that my headlights were not on high. I made sure not to tailgate anyone.
All night long, insane fucker after insane fucker played games with me and flew into rages even as I kept my middle fingers to myself, kept my mouth shut, and didn't show the slightest hint of reaction.
What the hell is wrong with everyone? Is it because Hillary and Obama are not playing nice? Is it because McCain got the nomination and now all the conservatives are voting for Ron Paul? Is it because President Bush was filming a surprise appearance on Deal or No Deal that very day? Did someone get kicked off the island, off American Idol, or booted from the house on Big Brother that shouldn't have been? Is Julia Roberts making another lousy, preachy, misandric movie? For God's sake, what is it?!
I made it home alive and without being forced to kill anyone. A miracle, to be sure. It was late. The moon was up and the stars were out. It seemed like a nice night. I was baffled as to what could possibly explain all the crazy constipated jackasses and jackassettes on the highway. When I got inside the house, my wife was asleep, but the cats were waiting for me. And they were bonkers. Stinky, in particular, was completely out of control.
The following morning, on Friday, I was listening to the news. They said there was an earthquake in Illinois at 4:37 am this morning. It was a 5.4 on the Richter scale and equaled the largest ever recorded in the region. "The quake occurred in the Illinois basin-Ozark dome region that covers parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas and stretches from Indianapolis and St. Louis to Memphis, according to the U.S. Geological Survey." It was felt as far away as Atlanta.
So, I believe I have my answer. Apparently it isn't just pets that can sense when an earthquake is coming. It would seem that humans have some capacity in that regard as well, even if we don't know precisely what it is that is upsetting our mental balance exactly. Who knew that all those assholes and bitches on the highway were merely prophets of coming natural disaster? I guess I should thank them. I'd much rather punch them in the throat, but just this once I have decided to be nice.

a JavaScript library for performing geospatial operations with GeoJSON
A modular geospatial engine written in JavaScript
Turf is a JavaScript library for spatial analysis. It includes traditional spatial operations, helper functions for creating GeoJSON data, and data classification and statistics tools. Turf can be added to your website as a client-side plugin, or you can run Turf server-side with Node.js (see below).
In Node.js:
npm install turf
In browser:
Download the minified file, and include it in a script tag. This will expose a global variable named "turf".
All of Turf's functions can also be installed as separate modules. This works well with tools like browserify where you want to install only the code you need. It also allows you to mix and match modules. This is the recommended usage pattern for most production environments. For example, to install the point and buffer modules use:
npm install turf-point turf-buffer
Turf uses GeoJSON for all geographic data. Turf expects the data to be standard WGS84 longitude, latitude coordinates. Check out geojson.io for a tool to easily create this data.
Most Turf functions work with GeoJSON features. These are are pieces of data that represent a collection of properties (ie: population, elevation, zipcode, etc.) along with a geometry. GeoJSON has several geometry types such as:
Turf provides a few geometry functions of its own. These are nothing more than simple (and optional) wrappers that output plain old GeoJSON. For example, these two methods of creating a point are functionally equivalent:
var point1 = turf.point([0, 0]); var point2 = { type: 'Feature', geometry: { type: 'Point', coordinates: [0, 0] }, properties: {}};

2D Depictions in R Plots
In preparation for the upcoming R workshop at the EBI, I've been cleaning up the rcdk package and updating some features. One of the new features is the ability to get a 2D depiction as a raster image. Uptil now, 2D depictions were drawn in a Swing window – this allowed you to resize the window but not much else. You really couldn't use it for anything else but viewing.
However, R-2.11.0 provides a new function called rasterImage, which overlays a raster image onto a pre-existing plot. It turns out that the png package lets me easily create such a raster image, either from a PNG file or from a vector of bytes. Given a molecules, we can get the byte array of its PNG representation via the view.image.2d function in the latest rcdk. As a result, you can now make a plot and then overlay a 2D depiction within the plot area. For example to get the picture shown alongside, we could do:
m <- parse.smiles("C1CC2CC1C(=O)NC2")
img <- view.image.2d(m, 200,200)
plot(1:10, pch=19)
rasterImage(img, 2,6, 6,10)
The latest version of rcdk and rpubchem is not on CRAN yet, but you can get source packages for OS X & Linux and binary packages for Windows at http://rguha.net/rcdk. Note that the latest version of rcdk requires R-2.11.0 along with rJava, rcdklibs, fingerprint and png as dependencies. If you're interested in contributing check out the git repository.
3 Responses to '2D Depictions in R Plots'
Rajarshi, this is very cool!
Would it be difficult to draw a line from the molecule to one of the dots? To identify molecular outliers in QSAR models?
[…] versions of rcdk allow you to insert images of chemical structures into R plots, via the view.image.2d and rasterImage functions. One problem […]

Weekly hunting and fishing report
Fly fishing
Local lakes are serving to scratch the fishing itch for fly fishermen who are finding high, unfishable water in most area rivers. Float tubers at Williams are seeing a lot of action early for trout up to 16 inches. Black Wooly Buggers are effective. Other lakes like Fish, Medical, Amber, West Medical, Clear, Fishtrap, Sacheen and Marshall are also good at times.
Trout and kokanee
Clear Lake trollers are finding plenty of 12-inch trout along the east side. The fish are mostly between 15 and 35 feet, hitting Wedding Rings and flies tipped with worm.
The south side of Williams Lake has been good to trollers all the way to the famous Tree 11, where still-fishermen are also doing well with salmon eggs, PowerBait and dyed marshmallows.
The West Medical trout bite has been particularly good in the morning. Boat fishermen and bank/dock fishermen, are doing well on assorted dough baits, worms and marshmallows.
Trout fishing remains good on Diamond Lake and many anglers are taking limits. The 8- to 10-inch rainbow are shallow and the larger rainbows and browns (14-16 inches) are closer to the bottom.
It is not uncommon for Waitts Lake trollers to limit in an hour on 12-inch browns and larger rainbow by dragging a fly and flasher down the middle. The deeper you troll, the larger the fish.
Rock Lake trout, mostly browns, are hitting near the surface on a variety of plugs and flies. Bright colors seem to work best. The water is still somewhat discolored.
Sprague Lake trout seem to grow larger each week. Many are just at 19 inches, but anglers commonly take fish more than 23 inches. Marshmallows and worms have been the most popular bait.
The big Lake Roosevelt trout are still in abundance, at least near the mouth of the San Poil. All fish came from the top 10 feet of water.
Loon Lake kokanee were up high last week. I caught mine on just one color of leaded line, 30 feet of mono, a flasher, and a Wedding Ring-type lure baited with maggots.
Park Lake in Grant County continues to give up rainbows and a few large browns to trollers, and bass fishermen are picking up a variety of smallmouth and largemouth.
Omak Lake trollers last week said the cutthroat action was consistent at 10-40 feet. Needlefish and similar lures were what the cutts wanted and several of them approached 10 pounds. Nearby, Buffalo Lake is also good for 16-inch plants and larger carryovers. Both lakes are on the Colville Reservation.
A few small kokanee have been showing for Coeur d'Alene trollers near Harrison. The good bite is still a couple of weeks away.
Idaho's Fernan Lake provides excellent fishing for 9- to 10-inch rainbow. Channel cats to 8 pounds are also being caught.
Salmon and steelhead
The ocean salmon opener is Saturday. Anglers may keep two hatchery chinook through June 13. After that, the daily limit is one chinook, and one hatchery coho or two hatchery coho. With the spring chinook season now closed on the lower Snake River, anglers are searching elsewhere for their salmon fix. Fishing in the lower Clearwater (downstream of Cherrylane Bridge) remained constant last week with 16 hours per fish. No salmon were verified caught last week on the Little Salmon River. Best bet is to fish the lower Salmon River (Slate Creek area) and near the mouth of the Little Salmon River.
The Icicle River will be open through July 31 for chinook. A few big fish have shown recently.
Starting Saturday, anglers will get two more weeks to catch hatchery-reared spring chinook salmon and steelhead in waters of the Columbia River stretching more than 160 miles upriver from Bonneville Dam.
Recreational fishing closed in that area May 9, but fishery managers from Washington and Oregon approved an extension through June 15 after transferring a portion of the upriver spring chinook allocation from the ongoing fishery below Bonneville Dam.
Spiny ray
Bass fishing has picked up on Diamond Lake. Wacky rigged Senko worms have been good.
Downs and Bonnie lakes are giving up some big crappie. Both lakes are also producing largemouth bass, but Bonnie Lake anglers are also finding some outsized perch. The outlet creek, which is also the boat access to the lake, is running high.
At Long Lake (Lake Spokane), anglers are finding some nice perch in 10-12 feet of water near Tum Tum. Largemouth bass are also biting, but the crappie bite has slowed down.
Walleye anglers on Moses Lake haven't had to motor too far from Connelly Park to find fish recently. A 2-ounce bottom walker with a 3-foot leader followed by a Slow Death Hook with a green Smile Blade has been extremely effective. Some big perch are also coming in.
Blue Lake in Grant County is good for planter rainbow, but the smallmouth action is also creating some interest. Topwater action is good.
Bass fishermen throwing topwater frogs have taken some 5-pounders from Silver Lake. Senkos are also drawing strikes.
Walleye anglers on Banks Lake are finding some larger fish. On Lake Roosevelt, Porcupine Bay was good over the Memorial Day Weekend, but the 'eyes were fairly small.
Columbia River walleye were biting well this week in the Celilo/Umatilla area. Anglers say this is one of the best walleye years on the Columbia with fish averaging 2 pounds. The bite is early.
Pike are hitting floating plugs in the shallows of Lake Coeur d'Alene. The Chain Lakes are also producing smaller pike and some decent bass. Crappie fishing has slowed, however.
Other species
Channel cats are biting at the mouth of the Palouse River, reports Ashley Lotscher at the KOA Lyons Ferry Marina.
June is one of the best months to chase Snake River sturgeon – in Hells Canyon where it is catch and release, but also below Lower Granite where fish of the appropriate size may be retained.
The summer crab-fishing seasons for Puget Sound start Sunday, with an early opening in Marine Area 13 south of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Most other areas of the Sound will open July 3.
The last razor clam digs of the spring will wrap up Sunday on a season that produced the most and largest clams in 30 years. All digs will be in the morning on minus tides.
Turkey hunters have through Saturday to get their tom. Birds are still out there gobbling and the big harems have diminished as most of the hens are nesting.

Qi Gong as a physical health practice, presented by the contemporary Chinese and Westerners, is a complex accretion of the ancient Chinese meditative practice xing qi 行氣 or circulating qi, and gymnastic exercise daoyin 導引 or guiding and pulling; I Ching and occult arts; facets of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism; martial arts, and the chemical and magical tricks, which had a long history in Taoist practices; and foreign ideas such as the Hindu yoga theory and modern scientific concepts such as field, energy, gene, molecular structure, and so on. (Li, 341)
Although the characters qi gong 氣功 can be traced back in the Taoist literatures the early Tang dynasty (618-907), the current term of Qi Gong has no conceptual or semantic relationships to qi gong in the historical literatures. In fact, the term of Qi Gong that applies to the meditative practice and gymnastic exercise was first claimed by Liu Guizhen 劉貴珍 (1920-1982) in his book Experiences in Healing with Qi Gong in 1957.
The tradition of the meditative practices and gymnastic exercises goes back a long way in Chinese history. The first source, and the earliest evidence of the meditative practice and gymnastic exercise is the discovery of the Neolithic vessel in the early 1980s in Northwest China. The pottery is identified as a Shamanic vessel. The image on the nearly 7000 year old pottery, archaeologists suggest, represents the hermaphroditic unity of wu xi 巫覡, or the priest-shaman. This phenomenon is explained by Mircea Eliade: These priest-shamans are regarded as the intermediaries between the two cosmological planesearth and skyand also from the fact that they combine in their own person the feminine elements (earth) and the masculine element (sky). (Eliade, 352)
Since the image of the body posture on the pottery is identical to the posture of the essential meditative practice or gymnastic exercise, the Chinese Qi Gong historian Li Zhiyong 李志庸 contends that the priest-shamans were the earliest masters of the Chinese meditative practice and gymnastic exercise. The Harvard anthropology professor K. C. Chang not only agrees with Li, but also suggests that the meditative practice and gymnastic exercise might have been the essential method for the priest-shamans to arrive at the state of trance/ecstasy. (Chang, 145) In addition, the French sinologist Catherine Despeux also traces the meditative practice and gymnastic exercise back to the ancient shamanic techniques of ecstasy. She sums up the studies of the Marcel Granet and Maxime Kaltenmark, which trace the shamanic origins of the legendary immortals Pengzu 彭祖, Chisongzi 赤松子, the masters of the wind and the rain, and the animal-bird dances. Despeux concludes: the gymnastic exercises are a later development of original shamanic techniques. (Despeux, 239)
The second earliest sources were the testimonies in both of the early Chinese philosophical writings and the archaeological findings dated between the second and fifth century B.C. There are two categories of discoveries regarding the meditative practice and gymnastic exercises. The textual evidence Circulating Qi Inscription may represent the first category of meditative practice. This rather esoteric text, nonetheless, is reflected in Laozi and Zhuangzi. The second category of gymnastic exercise is clearly testified in the writings of Zhuangzi: To blow out and breathe in slowly, to inhale and exhale, to puff out the old breaths and draw in the new, practicing bear-hanging and bird-stretching, longevity is the only concern. Guiding and pulling, cultivating and nourishing the body favored by those who wish to live as long as Peng Zu. (Guo, 535)
The recent archaeological findings strongly support Zhuangzi's above gymnastic exercise statement. The first is a set of specific gymnastic practices that was unearthed 1973 in the Han dynasty tomb dated to 168 B.C.: The Daoyin tu 導引圖, or the Gymnastic Chart is a colored manuscript that shows forty-four moments in a series of sketches accompanied by commentaries on their therapeutic features. According to Li Ling's 李零 studies, there are two categories of the sketches identifiable: the first group is the Animal Plays, which divides into eight types of animal-bird plays, including bear-hanging and bird-stretching described by Zhuangzi. The second group is the cure for illness and disease that includes eighteen ways to treat deafness, hernia, anxiety, knee pains, neck problems, abdominal bloating, sciatica, fever, and pneumonia. (Li, 356)
The other archaeological testimony was the Han Bamboo Strip book Yinshu dated to 186 B.C. unearthed in 1984. According to the studies of Peng Hao 彭浩 and Li Ling, Yinshu 引書 or the Gymnastic Book is a detailed manuscript that includes five sections of health and longevity related treatise. The first section is the guiding principles for health and longevity in daily life through the four seasons. There is a set of rules and techniques for maintaining health daily in each season. The second section is a set of forty gymnastic movements and techniques to attain longevity. The third section is a set of forty-four gymnastic movements and techniques to cure illnesses. The fourth section is a set of twenty-four gymnastic movements that are therapeutic and illness-preventive techniques. The fifth section is a set of three gymnastic movements that emphasizes the breathing methods corresponding to the four seasons in order to attain health and longevity. (Li, 359)
In the context of Zhuangzi, however, these physical exercises or gymnastics are considered as inferior to the more meditative practices, such as xinzhai 心齋 or fasting of the heart and zuowang 坐忘 or sitting and forgetting that are associated with the esoteric text Circulating Qi Inscription emphasizing the inner concentration and breathing practices. Zhuangzi specifies: Zhenren 真人, or the True Man's food is plain, but his breathing is unfathomable and tranquil. While the breathing of mass is through their throats, the breathing of the True Man is through his heels. (Guo, 228) Zhuangzi conceives such training for the Way by refining and energizing qi in controlling one's posture and breathing. The technique is clarified as: Unify your attention. Rather than listen with the ear, listen with the heart. Rather than listen with the heart, listen with the qi. Listening stops at the ear, the heart stills at following the circumstances. Qi is void, thus it is all encompassing. Only the Way amasses the void, so the void is the fasting of the heart. (Guo, 173) This training also is reflected in Laozi: Empty the heart, fill the abdomen, (Gao, 237) extend farthest towards the void, hold steadiest to the tranquility. The ten thousand things all rise together, and I reflect their return. (Gao, 298)
In the following centuries, from the Han dynasty to the Tang dynasty downward, the various practices flourished and were widely developed, but their original foundations remained largely untouched. However, there has been clear evidence for an ongoing separation between the meditative practices and gymnastic exercises. While the meditative practices have been transmitted in the circle of the elite and literati, especially the esoteric circle of prerogative or religious specialists, the gymnastic exercises, for instance, wuqingxi 五禽戲, or the Five Animal Plays divested of elements of the talismanic and exorcismhave become accessible to everyone.

Tyson Foods, Inc. Internship Program
Tyson is more than simply chicken. One of the largest US chicken producers, Tyson's Fresh Meats division makes it a giant in the beef and pork sectors, as well. The company also offers value-added processed and pre-cooked meats and refrigerated and frozen prepared foods. Its chicken operations are vertically integrated -- the company hatches the eggs, supplies contract growers with the chicks and feed, and brings them back for processing when ready. Tyson's brands include Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Sara Lee, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells, and State Fair. Its customers include retail, wholesale, and food service customers worldwide.
Tyson processes 41 million chickens, 383,000 pigs, and 133,000 head of cattle every week at its 45 chicken, 12 beef, 9 pork, and 38 prepared food production plants worldwide.
Tyson's wholly-owned subsidiary Cobb-Vantress Inc. is a top poultry breeding stock supplier globally that leverages research and development to breed desirable characteristics into its flocks. Tyson is known for its chicken, but it also produces beef and pork products. The company's fresh meat operations process beef and pork, offering processed pork products such as sausage, ham, and bacon. Aside from a significant foodservice operation, Tyson's prepared foods unit produces pizza toppings and frozen entrées. Other Tyson activities include rendering meat by-products and tortilla and pizza-crust manufacturing.
While its chicken operations reach from egg to drumstick, Tyson raises no cattle of its own. It buys live cattle on the open market and they're raised under contract at third-party feed lots. The majority of Tyson's swine are bought from producers; however, it does raise some swine and supplies the resultant feeder pigs to independent producers on a contract basis.
As part of its operations, the company boasts four business segments: beef, chicken, prepared foods, and pork. Beef is actually its largest segment, accounting for about 40% of revenue, with chicken bringing in about a quarter of sales. The fast-growing prepared foods segment contributed nearly 20% of sales, with pork at more than 10%.
Geographic Reach
The company serves customers in the US and in more than 130 countries worldwide. Tyson's major export markets include Brazil, Canada, Central America, China, the European Union, India, Japan, Mexico, the Middle East, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Vietnam. Export sales are about $4 billion, or about 10% of total revenue.
Sales and Marketing
Tyson's products are marketed to grocery stores, meat distributors, club stores, military commissaries, chain restaurants, and foodservice operators, among other customers. Wal-Mart accounted for 17% of Tyson's sales for fiscal 2015.
Advertising and promotion expenses for fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013 were $996 million, $641 million, and $555 million, respectively.
Financial Performance
Tyson has reported steady revenue growth since fiscal 2009. Revenues increased by 10% in fiscal 2015 (ended October) thanks primarily to nearly 100% growth in its prepared foods segment as a result of the acquisition of Hillshire Brands in 2014. The beef segment also showed strong growth, while the pork segment fell more than 15% after the divestiture of the Heinold Hog Markets business, which the company sold as part of the Hillshire purchase.Net income jumped about 40% on the strong revenue growth, hitting $1.2 billion, which in turn boosted cash from operations.
Tyson has been getting into new markets in recent years to add breadth to its products portfolio. Taking advantage of this affinity for animals, the company introduced True Chews, a line of beef, chicken, and ham-flavored dog treats. Banking on a billion-dollar pet treat market, Tyson rolled out the products, sourcing ingredients used in True Chews from the company's meat and poultry operations.
Tyson has devoted more dollars to research and development efforts in recent years. Research and development costs totaled $75 million, $52 million, and $50 million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
For another venture outside its usual food chain, the company had moved (in 2007) into biofuels. It began supplying the animal fats and greases from its meat production operations to Dynamic Fuels, its Louisiana-based 50:50 joint venture with Syntroleum that produces renewable fuels from the by-products. However, in 2014, Tyson changed course, selling its 50% stake in Dynamic Fuels to Renewable Energy Group for $30 million.
In a further streamlining, in 2015 the company sold its Brazil and Mexico poultry operations to JBS SA for $575 million. It planned to use the proceeds to pay down debt.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2014 Tyson acquired Hillshire Brands alongside fellow poultry producer Pilgrim's Pride in a $7.75 billion deal. Hillshire, at the time, was attempting to acquire Pinnacle Foods, but scrapped those plans.
Growing its US prepared foods business, that year Tyson acquired Warren, Michigan-based Bosco's Pizza Co., which produces a variety of stuffed bread sticks and frozen pizzas for food service and retail customers across the Midwest.
In 2013 Tyson focused on boosting its value-added foods business. Midyear, the company's Tyson Mexican Original subsidiary acquired the assets of Don Julio Foods of Clearfield, Utah. Don Julio Foods specializes in making flour and corn tortillas and salty snacks such as tortilla chips, pretzels, and potato chips. The company also purchased the assets of California's Circle Foods, maker of frozen and refrigerated handheld Mexican foods, uncooked tortillas, and increasingly popular Indian flatbreads.

Interview with Raoul Hague
Conducted by Joseph S. Trovato
In Woodstock, N.Y.
November 4, 1964
The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Raoul Hague on November 4, 1964. The interview was conducted in Woodstock, New York by Joseph S. Trovato for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
The reader should bear in mind that he or she is reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. This is a rough transcription that may include typographical errors.
JOSEPH S. TROVATO: To start from the beginning – where were you born?
RAOUL HAGUE: I was born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1905. My real name is Heukelekian. Heukelekian was my last name. I came to this country in 1921.
MR. TROVATO: Where did you study?
MR. HAGUE: I went to Iowa State College for a year. Then I went to Chicago where I became acquainted with a number of artists, mostly painters, and then we all moved to New York City. There I studied sculpture at the Beaux Arts and Art Students League. I was monitor in the sculpture class at the League.
MR. TROVATO: When did you learn about the Government Art project?
MR. HAGUE: About 1933-1934. I was recommended by someone, I can't remember the name, to do sculpture on my own for which I would receive a weekly check, which, as I recall, was twice as much as we received later on the WPA.
This first program was handled in a fine dignified way so that the artist felt very free to do his own work in his own way – and this was wonderful – but unfortunately it did not last long.
MR. TROVATO: Then you said that you went on to the WPA.?
MR. HAGUE: Practically the entire time – until war came, when I was drafted in the Army.
On the WPA. – I turned over from my studio a work – direct stone or wood carving every three or four months. There have been quite a few attempts by Museums and individual collectors and dealers to trace the whereabouts of some of the pieces but they have not been able to locate any of these. The Directors of WPA. should have kept better records of the whereabouts of works submitted.
MR. TROVATO: As you look back on that whole experience do you feel that it was a good thing?
MR. HAGUE: The check was the best part – the way it was distributed was done in a most humiliating way by bunching artists in a hall and having them wait for hours. But such things were remedied in time when news of this condition reached the top at Washington.
MR. TROVATO: But how, in your own work, did this experience contribute to your own development as a sculptor?
MR. HAGUE: If it did, it was a very slow development, and this is a personal problem which has nothing to do with the WPA. My real breakthrough came in the late 40's.
MR. TROVATO: Do you have any notion as to what the conditions were that contributed to your breakthrough?
MR. HAGUE: It was the general atmosphere of all the arts entering a new phase.
I think that all the artists I have known appreciated the WPA. but, (for my thinking to the worse) – it changed the image of the artist from the "Fauves" type into a more respectable middle class type.
MR. TROVATO: Thank you very much.

Cheryl Dann replenishes the feed tray behind her residence for birds and animals.
A Moose Javian is complaining her animal feed was confiscated from her and she's already contacted a city council member on the subject.
Cheryl Dann, who lives in one of the residences operated by Thunder Creek Association, located off of Iroquois Street East claims feed she put out for birds and animals was confiscated by property management.
"They took the feed I put out and the bag of feed I had," Dann told the Times-Herald. "I've been told they have no right to do that, I bought it with my own money, it's my property."
Dann was so upset, she has already been in contact with city councillor Brian Swanson, who Dann claims advised her she is doing nothing wrong. she has since gone out and purchased two new bags of feed.
"We had that really bad cold snap for a few days, so I put some extra out, but I always bring in the tray I use for the feed at night," Dann said.
Director of adult community services at Five Hills Health Region Anne-Marie Ursan was able to gather some information towards the accusations. Ursan also reports to the board of directors for the Thunder Creek Association.
"feeding wildlife is a practice that is discouraged and Wakamow Valley would also discourage it," Ursan said. "

They call themselves the Community of True Inspiration. A community because they were bond together by common religious beliefs; true Inspiration because their leaders claimed to be directly inspired by God. They inspired leaders of this group were called the Werkzeug, which means "instrument of God." The Werkzeug told of how God directed them to shun the accepted state church with its priests and bishops and elaborate services and create a new order. An order that practiced simplicity, humility and strict adherence to the teachings of the Bible.
In 1842, because of increased persecution from the church and rising land costs, the Werkzeug of that time, Christian Metz, told his followers that God had directed him to lead them to America where they would be free to worship as they chose. They founded the town of Ebenezer in New York. They continued the communal way of life they had followed in Europe in order to survive in the new world. They built their own mills and in every way tried to make themselves independent of the outside world. This soon became impossible as New York became more and more developed. If they were to remain isolated, they would have to move again. In 1854 the western frontier beaconed to the Inspirationists and over the next 10 years the moved the Ebenezer colony, mills and all, to Iowa. Once here they established seven villages on 24,000 acres of land.

Sir Honey Davenport; Electric and Inter-Galactic
Starpulse.com's Jeza Belle sat down with gender-bender drag queen Sir Honey Davenport for a chat on Honey's band, her off-Broadway show, and why it pays to be who you are.
Tell our readers what you have been up to?
I got married this year…so that has been an adventure on its own! On top of that, my band Electrohoney, released its first album and developed a stage show around it. Plus I've been bringing the party all over New York City at a variety of venues!
One place you are bringing the party is in the off-Broadway show, The Orion Experience in NYC; describe for our readers what the show is about and your role as The Queen of White Lies:
The show itself is an inter-galactic space journey with an interactive audience element. It's titled after the band, The Orion Experience, who plays their songs live during the show. In addition, it has everything from aerialists to a Queen of White Lies…me! The audience boards a space craft and hence, joins the band, for a rock journey to the stars. My role as the Queen of White Lies is something of a cross between a vampire, sorceress, and sex-goddess from outer space! The show has gained a cult following with a lot of repeat audience members in the weeks we've been running.
In addition to the show, your own band, Electrohoney, has been getting quite a bit of attention. What influences your music?
The band, which includes SteveX, who plays keyboard and guitar, and Jessie Gray on drums and myself have been together now for about two years. We were so thrilled to have released our first album, but being artists decided to go back and revamp it by adding some new tracks. That's what we are currently working on. We are influenced by groups like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for example. As a lyricist and a singer though, I personally am inspired by people like RuPaul, Kevin Aviance, Marilyn Manson and generally artists that tend to be gender-benders. They influence both my music and my style.
How has writing songs for the band been for you?
Well, in fact one of our songs, "Indestructible", I wrote with Marilyn Manson in mind! While on the other end, I wrote "Found it Out" with the idea that one day Janet Jackson could record it, since I'm a huge fan of Janet Jackson, as every gay man in the world should be! Now that would be a dream come true!
What's one thing that might surprise people about Electrohoney?
We have a funky way of rehearsing! Being that we are New Yorkers and the apartments are small, we don't rehearse in the same room together. I go into the bathroom with a microphone, while Steve is in the hallway with the keyboards and guitar and Jesse is in the closet with the drums. We soundproofed everything so all anyone would hear outside of the apartment is me signing! While the three of us are on headphones and mics, we Face-Time each other, even though we are just a few feet away.
You don't appear to be confined by the barriers of what's expected in drag, what motives you to be yourself?
I've always found that I'm happy being myself. It's nice when it inspires others though. Looking fierce and fabulous is great, but looking fierce and fabulous while inspiring someone else to be themselves is priceless. Growing up in a poor neighborhood in Philadelphia, we had to wear a school uniform and I felt like it hindered my personality. How we are viewed by people is how we dress and carry ourselves and I was being repressed from being myself. Drag has been an outlet for me to be who I really am. In fact, many of the ideas I would never shared with anyone before, now pop up on the regular as part of my look!
With that in mind, what advice do you have for the many kids growing up that are being bullied for being different?
It's really easy to dislike yourself or try to change yourself from being who you are. However, even though it's a struggle that never ends, it so rewarding if you can continually be 100% honest with who you are. It gets so much better…you could become a fabulous drag queen! Being yourself is what will lead you to having a great life.
Time to dish:
Favorite hairdo you've had:
Since the dawn of my drag I've had my bright pink Mohawk that I refuse to get rid of! I keep soaking it and re-oiling and restyling …I'm never going to toss it!
One thing a queen cannot live without:
That's hard for me because I'm constantly changing my look and doing different things. I usually have a must have for the moment, so it varies.
An artist you would love to duet with:
I am a huge fan of Jonte! He has really inspired me and I would love to do a duet with him. Also, I would love to get into the studio with Icona Pop…their band and my band would be crazy together!
Music, DJing, Acting; which areas of the arts have you not yet broken into but have an interest?
I've done a lot of stage acting and commercials; in fact my cousin is Lee Daniels, who I assisted as one of my first jobs in the arts. But, I've yet to be able to star in a movie in drag and that's a dream of mine. I'm looking for the right script to come along!
Finally, what does the future hold for Sir Honey Davenport?
In the immediate future, I'm back in the studio with the band working on some stellar tracks. In the long run, no one knows what the future holds but I hope it's filled with lots of growth while I continue to blossom as an artist.

Multiplex: Chapter 14 is now available!
Saturday, May 28, 2016
Multiplex: Chapter 14 is now available! If you're a Kickstarter or Patreon backer, you have already been notified about this, but for those of you who aren't, you can get it from Gumroad superfast, or you can get it from the Multiplex Store. Either way supports the continued creation of Multiplex.
In Multiplex: Chapter 14, Jason reads a book while the Flickhead and Multiplex crews play more video games. This is some heavy shit here, broh! This volume collects strips #287–310 from the Multiplex archives, plus five bonus comics not found online!
I've probably mentioned this before, but I hope to continue making new Multiplex comics for these collections at about the same pace as the regular comic (two a week) over at Patreon, and then releasing the eBook collections with this material every 4–6 weeks or so. (And then funding a print collection through Kickstarter after all of the bonus material is finished — rather than funding the creation of that new material with the Kickstarter as I've done for the first three books.)
So just because the strip will be finished doesn't mean Multiplex is going to disappear entirely!

This video may only be 10-seconds-long, but it has caused a sensation on social networks. Could we be about to see Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2 announced? It isn't likely. Instead, it's probably just a teaser for a Super Bowl ad.
I guess it's possible there will be a new Ferris Bueller movie, but I really can't see it being so. Why would they tease it in this way? And if it had been shot already we'd know about it.
No. All this will be is Broderick reprising his role as Ferris Bueller for an ad of some kind. Which is fine. If they have thrown a budget at it and concocted a good story then that'll do me.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2 would be crap anyway. John Hughes is no longer with us, and Broderick is 50-years-old.
