A century ago, most parents dictated who their children socialized with, supervised their meetings with romantic companions, prevented premarital intercourse, and ensured that the young people married suitable individuals. Matters are very different today. Children are less pliant and empathic, more independent.
Such parental control was easily accomplished because young people mostly lived in the parental home before marriage. Even those who moved to a distant city mostly boarded as paying guests in other families who repressed their sexuality much the same as their parents did. This all changed when young people began independent households.
The causes of single living
There are several reasons why young people set up independent households. One of the more mundane was the fact that affordable accommodation for independent singles became available in the form of rooming houses and small apartments that burgeoned from the 1920s on and afforded freedom from family supervision (1).
Increased numbers of students in third-level education was another key factor because the majority of college students lived separately from their parents in college dorms or in apartments.
College education also raised the average age of marriage (from 21 in 1960 to 25.5 in 2000, 2) because many women delayed marriage until their education was complete and they had found a job. This increased the number of single adults who might wish to live independently.
Why independent living matters
One key aspect of independent living is the possibility of having a sex life free of parental supervision. This was facilitated for women by the widespread use of contraceptive pills from the 1970s on. Before long the vast majority of single women became sexually active outside marriage (3). This is a profound social change because it separates sexuality from marriage in a way that had never been possible previously.
In addition to being more sexually active, singles also became more open to sexual experimentation. In particular, they explored alternative unions to the in-group heterosexual unions that were the only kind of pairing allowed by parents in earlier generations. From about 1960 on, there was an exponential rise in heterosexual cohabitation, inter-ethnic-group unions, and same-sex couples (2). Before 1960, such unions almost never occurred according to census data and that is hardly surprising given that some of them were illegal.
With independent living arrangements, there was a substantial decline in marriage rates as young people remained single or cohabited (4).
The decline in marriage produces one very adverse effect in societies where independent living is taking over. That is a very rapid decline in the birth rate that is destined to bring very rapid aging of the population and a society wherein retired people ultimately outnumber the working-age population (5). This phenomenon is called "demographic winter" and the term may be suitably apocalyptic. I return to this issue in a future post.
Marriage has always been an effective way of promoting births and single women have much lower fertility than married women, even today with widespread use of contraception and small families, and even in social democracies with generous child support policies.
In summary, by getting out from under the parental thumb by living independently, young people are more likely to have a sex life, more likely to experiment with alternative unions, but less likely to yield grandchildren.
Their parents might not approve any of these changes. Yet, they are no longer in a position to do anything about it.

Disney Marathon: Fantasia
Fantasia (1940, James Algar, Samuel Armstrong, Fort Bebee, et al.)
Released in 1940, Fantasia origins can be directly linked to Mr. Disney's desire to give increase the popularity of his much beloved character Mickey Mouse, whose profitability had dwindled somewhat in the few years prior. Inspired by the classic poem Der Zauberlehrling (Goethe), known in the English language as The Sorcerer's Apprentice, the short cartoon would feature Micky Mouse as, what else, a sorcerer's apprentice who, despite not being fully trained in magic, uses some powers to make a broom take care of the house chores with serious repercussions of the apprentice's hastiness ensuing. Conductor Leopold Stokowski accepted to conduct the music for the film at no charge at all. A Paul Dukas piece, L'apprenti sorcier, would be the music that accompanied the on screen action. Fantasia would also be the first feature film to display its soundtrack in stereo sound, meaning that different sounds would emerge from different speaker in the theatre. It's a rather standard quality of movie going to day (expected by most in fact), but back in 1940, the use of multiple audio channels and speakers to produce a more realistic audio experience was an impressive first.
The powerful development in sound design, coupled with intricate and impressive animation quality to bring Micky and supporting characters to life (this is 1940 remember, they ain't making Bolt with computers here), rose significantly beyond what was normally needed to produce a short back in the day. With that in mind, it was deemed more prudent to augment the costs some more while making The Sorcerer's Apprentice but one segment in a feature length musical program which would include several skits, each one accompanied by music for sound alone. A music conductor named Deems Taylor was even hired to narrate the program, thus providing a bit of context to the segments before each began. It was Stokowski's suggestion in fact to name their effort Fantasia, which, as a noun, can mean either a 'musical composition that does not follow a conventional form' or 'a musical composition based on several familiar tunes' (both definitions from the Paperback Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford University Press, 2001.). A rather apt title given that not only are the musical pieces featured throughout the program quite well known but the program itself does not follow any conventional form. There is no story per say or evident overarching theme that ties everything neatly together, with the exception that all the music played is of the classical variety.
Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Schubert, all these and more are given the Disney treatment in Fantasia. Playing out like a concert in fact, the film opens with Deems Taylor welcoming the audience and explaining that for the next little while, conductor Leopold Stokowski his orchestra will play some classical music pieces while original cartoons, inspired from the said music in the minds of the creators and artists at Disney, play for all to enjoy. Essentially, this a marriage of music and animation, but more specifically, the marriage between famous classical pieces known the world over with the creative talent at Disney Studios and whatever ideas that music could evoke. Taylor provides an interesting tid bit about music before the concert begins however, explaining briefly that there are three varieties of music. A piece can tell a definite story, a piece can have a theme (but no story) and a piece can simply be there for the pleasure of the listener, the composer having not written it with any specific intent or plot in mind (absolute music). I thought this was a crucial bit of information because it prepared me somewhat to comprehend the onslaught of sights and sound that were to follow (if you haven't guessed already, I had never seen Fantasia except for Night on Bald Mountain). I could therefore find my footing a little bit instead of constantly wondering why exactly certain images were chosen to accompany any chosen musical suites. I still did at times, but with the knowledge (or reminder I suppose since I think I already knew that) that music can just 'be', I was prepared to let myself witness what Disney had in store for me as opposed to over analyzing anything.
And then it began with Johann Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, a piece I love. There is a power and majestic quality to it that almost brings tears to my eyes (I said almost, so don't get any ideas). Visually it started a bit slowly I find, with shadows of the orchestra's player splashed on a great wall with some colours added for style (interestingly enough since Taylor, only moments ago, suggested that absolute music might convey only blots of colour to the listener at first). The only element I found annoying about this segment was how Taylor actually gave clear hints as to what would appear on screen for this part of absolute music. Personally, I would have preferred to be completely whisked away since (or 'gone in cold', if you prefer). I thought Taylor was just fooling around with his description of what an audience member might envision in his or her mind when listening to absolute music. A few minutes later, I see that he was in fact telling us what visual treats the segment reserved. Still, I thought the animation quality was simply exquisite. Obviously, it's quite abstract and I therefore shan't go into the intricate details of what hits the screen. Discovering it is part of the fun after all.
Interestingly enough, the next segment's soundtrack is Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, which is for a specific story (the Nutcracker ballet), but Disney decides to animate the short with original material, completely non-Nutcracker related. A peculiar but intriguing artistic choice if I may say so. I did think that the visuals, from the seductive fish underwater to the little pixy fairies, possessed a delicacy, a playfulness that suited the music. It's a difficult short to get into if one can't separate the fact that this immensely popular piece of music was written and conducted for an equally popular ballet, which is still played around the world till this day. If you just can't think of anything other than the Nutcracker ballet accompanying the suite, then perhaps the second short won't be your cup of tea. It took me a couple of minutes to grow accustomed to it, but I eventually enjoyed it a lot.
At this point I was merely content. If this was what the remaining 80 minutes or so were to be like, very well then, I would most likely end up thoroughly enjoying the feature without ever really loving it however.
Well, the whole 'abstract/non-linear or plot driven' animation was actually over by then. From there things are absolutely kicked into very high gear. From the third segment onward, the third being the now remarkably famous Sorcerer's Apprentice with Dukas' music, the program not only continues to feature music that I admire to the utmost degree, but displayed entertaining, thrilling, mysterious and funny animated stories and a ballet (hippos dancing with freaking crocodiles for crying out loud). Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony (such a marvel, makes me so bloody happy when I hear it), Franz Schubert's Ava Maria, Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours (I was less familiar with it until now even though I knew it a little, so it was nice to get a better idea of what it sounded like), and of course the powerful, intimidating and ferocious Night on Bald Mountain from Modest Mussorgsky. Nothing modest about this piece of music, let me tell you that. It's like the end of the world, or, at the very least, the kind of music that would accompany the most hideous, depressing situation I could think of it came to life. Pure darkness with no hope for respite. It's a depressing but thrilling bit of music all at once. In the cartoon Chernabog, the giant demon-thingy, emerges from Bald Mountain one night and summons evil, ghoulish spirits to perform a dancing ritual. Chernobog, wtf?!? This creature of the night is, in my humble opinion, the most impressive and frightening 'foe' I have ever witnessed in any Disney film and probably in any animation film I have watched (except maybe hunger in Grave of the Fireflies. Yeah, no one should dies of hunger). He throws his minions into a fiery pit and the others still worship him afterwards!
Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, with animation showing the 'blossoming' of life on earth, was another little gem to watch unfold. What was life on earth like all those millions of years ago (apologies to creationists on the boards)? Fossils, archaeology and several other sciences can provide us with good ideas of how life was back then, but I think that if I could physically travel back to that age, the sights would probably still freak me out nonetheless. Different landscapes, different eco systems, foliage, animals, etc. The short treats it at first like a mysterious science-fiction story and I felt it worked wonders. Then of course the dinosaurs appear (rejoice Spielberg fans), and that segment was equally impressive, if less mysterious. The part with the dinosaurs perishing of thirst while traversing a barren and desert like land was very impressive to see in a family cartoon. I almost want to say that this was my favourite segment. I felt the coupling of this particular piece of music and the telling of this particular story through animation held up remarkably well. I at least liked all, loved a few, but this one took the cake in my opinion (hi worm!).
This is an infinitely difficult film to write about because I think that, more than many of the other films we are to watch and have already on this Disney animation journey, Fantasia will split people the most. There's no overarching story to grip on, with the film jumping from one segment to another every 10 minutes or so. Some will please you while others may leave you wanting for more. I think that it always a risk taken with anthology films. Of the three films we have watched thus far, I think this is my favourite and I'm not even certain the race is that close. I enjoyed our 2 previous films, but found faults in both nonetheless that hindered my ability to fall in love with them. This was less the case with Fantasia, even though I didn't find it perfect (I never once liked the cuter, talking Mickey, so therefore hearing that annoying little voice congratulate Stokowski was freaking grating). Of course, one could argue that its success is a bit of a cheat since the filmmakers did not need to create original music. They took exquisite examples of classical music and classical ballets and added to the paper canvass what their imaginations could fathom. Personally, I don't really care. The gut reaction is what I'm going with in this round and my gut is telling my Fantasia is a great experience with both forms of art combining together handsomly.

Officials seeking grant for Day Report Center
PARKERSBURG – Applications for grants to help fund the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Community Corrections Day Report Center and Victims' Advocate Office were approved Monday by the Wood County Commission.
The applications will be forwarded to the respective granting entities for review.
County grant coordinator Toni Tiano and Hernando Escandon, interim director of the center, outlined the $658,973 community corrections grant being sought for the alternative rehabilitative program.
The match for the grant, if approved for the full amount, would be $246,076.
The local center on Market Street serves Wood County, with satellite offices in Roane and Jackson counties.
"Roane and Jackson counties do contribute to the program as part of the matching funds," Tiano said. "Client fees and drug lab revenue also makes up part of the match."
Funds from the drug court service fees also make up part of that match, Commissioner Blair Couch said. Couch serves on the center's board as liaison for the county commission.
"The program has been applying for more funds, but for the last two years has received the same amount of funding, $453,000," Couch said.
The applications include requests for funding for salaries for additional case managers. Clients are not turned away from the program because of inability to pay, Couch said.
"Additional money has been placed in this pool of funds on the state level, but we are not receiving additional funding," he said. "At one point, we were told if we expanded to other counties, we would receive additional funding, we did expand, but we did not receive additional funding, it seems to go to other programs."
According to Tiano, about 275 clients are served annually through the day center. Escandon said the program length for the clients varies, but is usually six months to one year.
The commissioners approved the application on Monday. It will now be forwarded to the granting entity for consideration.
The center offers an alternative sentencing program providing assessment, case management, substance abuse treatment, batterers intervention prevention programming, life-skills training, counseling, and rehabilitation, along with supervised community service to clients assigned through the court system.
Referrals to the program come through the courts, Department of Health and Human Services, law enforcement, Home Confinement Program, probation and parole officials and attorneys.
In other business Monday, an application for a $39,243 Victims of Crime Act grant to help fund the salary for the victims advocate and a part-time advocate assistant also was approved by the commission. The application will be submitted to the office of Victims of Crime Act in the Office of Justice Program, U.S. Department of Justice for consideration.
The match of $9,811 for the grant comes from the prosecutor's office, Tiano told the commission.
"The victim advocate office sees about 4,000 clients a year and provides about 9,000 services," Tiano said.
The victims advocate office services include acting as liasons between attorneys and victims, keeping victims apprised of court schedules, assisting with understanding of the court process and procedures, providing referrals to other community services if needed, helping with victim reparation and just providing support, understanding and an empathic ear.
Tiano said the county has received the grant for the past 18 years.

The present invention relates to refrigerating appliances, and particularly to a condenser arrangement for a domestic refrigerating appliance.
In a conventional, domestic refrigerating appliance, a refrigerant cycle is used to cool air which is circulated throughout an inside volume of the cabinetry of the appliance. The refrigerating cycle includes the typical components of evaporator, pressure reducing valve, condenser, and compressor. The evaporator provides coils having refrigerant therein, which absorbs heat from air blown across the coils, thus cooling the air for circulation through the cabinet. The evaporator is typically located in the freezer compartment of a freezer/refrigerator appliance.
The condenser provides coils for air cooling the refrigerant therein to condense the refrigerant. The compressor and the condenser are typically located in a bottom most compartment of the appliance and the condenser receives air through a front grill which is located beneath the refrigerator door. The compressor is located to be accessible from a rear of the refrigerator. Also located in this bottom most compartment is a fan for drawing air across the condenser. Such a refrigerating appliance is shown for example in U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,591.
Beneath this lowest most compartment, it is customary to provide a solid base plate which aids in reinforcing cabinet stability. Upon this solid base plate is typically installed a coiled condenser composed of a serpentine elongate tube upon which is welded a plurality of closely spaced wires which provide an extended heat transfer surface. These tube and wire condensers have some drawbacks. The current painting process for coating these condensers is a solvent rich process. The process uses around 80% solvent which is regulated by the EPA for VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds). This process is required to adequately coat the wires. It would be an advantage to eliminate this process to reduce the amount of solvents needed for the coating process. Additionally, the welding process for connecting the wires to the tube is maintenance and capital intensive.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,111,818 describes a refrigerating apparatus with a condenser assembly made from two flat plates having mating half-tube sections embossed in them. The two plates are welded together with the half-tube sections in juxtaposition to form a single sealed continuous fluid conduit through which the refrigerant passes. The condenser assembly, however, does not include a base plate which adds stability to the refrigerator cabinetry. U.S. Pat. No. 2,772,077 also describes a plate/tube condenser for a refrigerating apparatus, wherein tubes are formed separately and connected to a plate as extended heat surface.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a condenser for a refrigerating apparatus which in addition to providing a heat transfer surface, functions as a base plate for the appliance cabinetry. It is an object of the present invention to provide a condenser which is effective and efficient in heat transfer therethrough. It is an object of the invention to provide a heat exchange arrangement for a refrigerating appliance which is compact. It is an object of the present invention to provide a heat exchange arrangement for a refrigerating appliance which can receive air from a front side of the appliance and discharge air also through a front side of the appliance.
It is an object of the invention to provide a refrigerator condenser arrangement for mounting in a lowest most compartment of refrigerator cabinetry and which includes the condenser, the compressor, and an air fan wherein air is drawn through one side of the front grill and discharged through an adjacent side of the front grill. It is an object of the invention to provide a refrigerator condenser of a plate and tube heat exchanger type. It is an object of the invention to provide a refrigerator condenser which is more effectively and efficiently manufactured, and which is more environmentally friendly during the manufacture thereof. It is an object of the invention to provide a refrigerator condenser coil which has an increased compactness such that the volume inside the refrigerating cabinet can be increased.
The objects of the invention are achieved in a refrigerator condenser which is mounted in a lowest most compartment of a refrigerating appliance. The refrigerator condenser is arranged with a fan to draw air through a front grill of the appliance and discharge the warmed air through the same front grill of the appliance. The refrigerator condenser includes a baffle plate arranged vertically on top of the condenser coil to separate the incoming and outgoing air passing over the condenser on an intake side of the condenser, the plate and tube condenser includes perforations to allow air to pass over a top of and below the condenser coil to the fan. The outlet side of the coil includes no such apertures so that air on an outlet side passes only on top of the condenser to prevent short circuiting air flow from an outlet side to an inlet side of the fan. The condenser is arranged flat and equivalent in area to substantially the bottom area of the appliance such as to act as a structural base plate for the appliance. The condenser includes space on its plate for mounting the fan and the compressor. The condenser includes the plate and a connected serpentine tube which can be fixed by brazing, welding, soldering, use of an adhesive or mechanical fastening or can be an embossment between two opposing plates.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerating appliance incorporating the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a refrigerating appliance shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the condenser shown in FIG. 2.
In FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown generally a refrigeration appliance 20 having an exterior cabinet 22 with a first openable door 24 to allow access to a first compartment 26. A second openable door 28 allows access into a second interior compartment 30. Within each of the compartments 26, 30 are storage areas for receiving food articles, including shelves, trays, bins, etc. Typically, the compartment 26 is a freezer compartment and the compartment 30 is a refrigerated compartment which maintains products in a chilled but not frozen condition.
The refrigeration system for the two compartments includes a compressor 34, a condenser 36, and an evaporator 38. Fan 42 is provided for circulating air.
The compressor 34 supplies refrigerant through line 50 (see FIG. 3) to the condenser 36. Refrigerant flows from the condenser through line 52 to the heat loop. The refrigerant then moves through the capillary tube (not shown) to the evaporator 38, and after leaving the evaporator, refrigerant is returned by a suction line 70 to the compressor 34. A more detailed explanation of a refrigerating circuit can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,591, herein incorporated by reference.
The condenser 36 is located in a bottom compartment 80 of the refrigerated appliance 20. This compartment is covered at a front side by a grill 82 for allowing air to enter the compartment 80. The condenser includes a plate 86 which substantially covers a bottom profile of the refrigerator appliance 20 to torsionally stabilize the structural frame of the cabinetry. Attached to a surface of the plate 86 is a serpentine coiled tube 88 which acts as the condenser holding refrigerant therein. The plate 86 thus provides the extended heat transfer surface to the tube 88, i.e., a plate fin. The plate 86 is somewhat elevated from a floor surface 90 by feet portions 92. The feet portions 92 can also provide adjustable leveling feet (not shown). The plate 86 provides apertures 102 spaced apart on an inlet section 105 of an air baffle wall 106. The apertures 102 allow incoming air Ai to pass above and beneath the plate 86, the air passing through the grill 82 above and beneath the plate 86 rising through the apertures 102 under influence of a fan 110. The baffle wall 106 separates outgoing air Ao from incoming air Ai. An outlet section 114 has no perforations and the outlet air Ao passes only on top of the plate 86 in the outlet section 114. This prevents short circuiting of warm air to the inlet section 105. However, inlet air Ai can pass beneath the outlet section 114 and join the incoming air Ai eventually passing up through the apertures 102 to the fan 110. However, most of the incoming air proceeds from the inlet section 105.
The plate 86 is advantageously made of galvanized steel and the tube 88 is surface protected such as by galvanizing or powder coat painting. A savings in labor and materials over the known tube and wire exchanger is realized, including eliminating a complicated, solvent rich coating step in treating the wires of the known exchanger.
The fan 110 is circumscribed by a baffle plate 120 which is shaped to conform to an inside clearance 122 of an insulated floor portion 124 of the compartment 30. This prevents short circuiting of air from the outlet section 114 to the inlet section 105. The fan 110 is shown schematically for clarity, but is understood that an appropriate electric motor drives the fan for air flow. The compressor 34 is provided with support brackets 130 having apertures 132 for receiving fasteners 136 (such as machine screws) as shown in FIG. 2, which can connect directly to the plate 86 by a tapped opening, or by a nut on a bottom side of the plate 86. Thus, the plate 86 serves as the condenser extended heat transfer surface and also as a support base for the components such as a compressor 34 and the fan 110 (not shown). By being a continuous plate, the plate 86 also stiffens the structural integrity of the cabinetry, preventing the rectangular cross section of the cabinet from torsional twisting and deformation. The plate 86 provides a surrounding rim or sidewall 140 for connection to the cabinetry 22. The rectangular plate 86 thus stiffens the rectangular cross section for the cabinetry walls 22.
As stated above, the plate and tube condenser 36 can be constructed using a continuous plate piece with a serpentine tube fastened thereto such as shown for example in U.S. Pat. No. 2,772,077 or U.S. Pat. No. 2,688,794, or U.S. Pat. No. 2,795,035. Or the tube can be formed with a plate such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,046,758, or the plate can be formed by two opposing plates with half tubes embossed on each plate, such that by fixing the plates together tube channels are formed by the plates themselves.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a specific embodiment, those of skill in the art will recognize that changes may be made thereto without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Wii U Sales Rising in Latest Financial Report
Nintendo reported today that the Wii U sold 460,000 units worldwide in the six-month period ending September 30, 2013.
If there is one positive sign in Nintendo's latest financial reports, it's that the Wii U sales this quarter were higher than the one prior, as Nintendo managed to sell 300,000 more Wii U consoles this quarter, compared to 160,000 in the previous quarter. Total sales are still falling short of the company's goal of 9 million units for the fiscal year ending March, notwithstanding, it did not change its forecast.
The increase in sales is largely due to the console's 50$ price drop, the Wii U Zelda bundle, and compelling software released adding life to a weak library that has little third-party support. In addition, ending the Wii's production should also help with sales, as Nintendo was essentially cannibalizing it's own Wii U as long as Wii remained on store shelves.
The incoming holiday season will surely see an increase in sales for the Wii U, but Nintendo does face strong competition come Holiday, with the release of Sony's PlayStation 4, and Microsoft's Xbox One coming this November.

What is in this article?:
- Cotton planting, seed quality, dates, rates, replanting — a primer
- Consider planting capabilities
- Cotton is a weak plant
- Planting depth critical
- When to replant
• Since so much is invested in a cotton crop it is absolutely imperative that we protect this investment by taking all precautionary measures to establish an optimal stand with good seedling vigor.
More About:
It's hard to believe it's already time to plant cotton again, but the season is upon us.
As we make preparations for planting the 2013 cotton crop, there are many important things to consider.
Since so much is invested in a cotton crop it is absolutely imperative that we protect this investment by taking all precautionary measures to establish an optimal stand with good seedling vigor.
Although we cannot control the environment, (which is often the most important factor in stand establishment), there are a few things we can control in order to promote and establish an optimal stand.
Most areas in Georgia have experienced adequate rainfall throughout the winter and early spring, which has replenished sub-soil moisture in most fields. This hopefully will help get the 2013 crop off to a good start. However, as we have seen before, soil moisture can be depleted quickly if hot and dry conditions occur.
Once our normal planting window (late-April through June 15) begins and conditions (both temperatures and moisture) are suitable, many growers will likely begin planting, especially in dryland fields with proper moisture in the planting zone.
Irrigated fields are generally planted throughout all times within our planting window, due to the flexibility that irrigation provides.
In most cases, our June planted cotton tends to be double-cropped behind winter small grains. Regardless, when planting cotton planted between June 1 and June 15, rapid stand establishment and un-delayed growth and development are critical to ensure adequate time exists to make a substantial crop.
Therefore, irrigation is usually key in promoting rapid emergence and retention of critical fruit.

What is in this article?:
- Water release to Mexico strikes angry response from Texas officials
- History of the Water Treaties
- A dispute between Mexico and U.S. Southwestern States
- Trouble in the 21st Century
- Texans unhappy over water release to Mexico.
- The IBWC granted the request and a release from the New Mexico reservoir is expected to take place in early April.
- Decision to deliver water to Mexico under the current circumstances cited as inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Convention.
World leaders, diplomats and even scientists have been warning us for years that the next Great War will be over water and not oil, a resounding sentiment echoing across the U.S. /Mexico border this week as disgruntled farmers, politicians and community leaders from both sides worry about where the water will come from to grow their crops this year.
Harsh words have already started to fly over a recently announced International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) plan to release water from the Rio Grande River to Mexico this month, earlier in the year than usual, a move Texas and New Mexico irrigation districts say will cause serious loss of water to evaporation at a time when U.S. farmers are going to need every inch they can find following last year's drought.
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Commissioner Carlos Rubinstein and Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples are the latest to join the ranks of those opposed to the release of water from Elephant Butte Reservoir in New Mexico that will send millions of gallons of water across the U.S. border into Northern Mexico where drought stricken farmers say they desperately need the resource to recover from last year's mega drought.
In a joint letter from Staples and Rubinstein to IBWC Commissioner Edward Drusina last week, they urged that authorities "act immediately to rescind the decision to release the water because it will result in significant harm to American farmers and ranchers and [will be a] waste of water during this time of drought."
The Mexican branch of the IBWC had made formal request earlier this month for the early release of water, a provision they say is authorized by a 1944 treaty between the two countries that outlines how water in the watersheds of both countries is shared.
The U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC), headed by Drusina, is an official dual government agency under the control of the U.S. State Department and is the U.S. component of the two-nation International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC), which applies the boundary and water treaties of the United States and Mexico and settles differences.
The Commission was formed as a result of the Treaty of 1944, established for the utilization of waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande and to determine how that water would be shared in the international segment of the Rio Grande from Fort Quitman, Texas, to the Gulf of Mexico. This treaty also authorized the two countries to construct operate and maintain dams on the main channel of the Rio Grande.
The Convention of May 21, 1906, provided for the distribution between the United States and Mexico of the waters of the Rio Grande above Fort Quitman, Texas, for the 89-mile international boundary reach of the Rio Grande through the El Paso-Juárez Valley. This Convention allotted to Mexico 60,000 acre-feet annually of the waters of the Rio Grande to be delivered in accordance with a monthly schedule at the headgate to Mexico's Acequia Madre just above Juárez, Chihuahua.
To facilitate such deliveries, the United States constructed, at its expense, the Elephant Butte Dam in its territory. The Convention includes a provision that says in case of extraordinary drought or serious accident to the irrigation system in the United States, the amount of water delivered to the Mexican Canal shall be diminished in the same proportion as the water delivered to lands under the irrigation system in the United States downstream of Elephant Butte Dam.

'Bridesmaids,' 'Community' Paintball Finale And The 'Buffy' Reboot In Today's Twitter-Wood
"Bridesmaids" is almost here, and it looks like director Paul Feig is getting some pre-wedding jitters, if his recent tweets are any indication. Of course, he's got nothing to worry about — early buzz is very positive, with many members of the Twitter-Wood community already rallying behind the Kristen Wiig comedy.
But critical acclaim doesn't always translate to financial success, of course. Hollywood producer Jeff Katz hopped on Twitter and went over the latest tracking data for this summer's hottest movies, and some of the results may surprise you.
Plus, if you thought Sarah Michelle Gellar's anti-"Buffy" reboot stance would slow the movie's progress down, you're in for a rude awakening: screenwriter Whit Anderson says it's very much still on track.
I'm @roundhoward and this is Twitter-Wood for May 12, 2011.

Media: Wood
953 Lower Browns Creek Rd Burnsville, NC 28714
I enjoy the entire process of woodworking. From raw lumber's earthy fragrance to the visual beauty of grain and figure and sensuous feel of finely sanded or finished wood, it's a many-faceted experience I always appreciate. Wood is a very "alive" medium in which to work. It offers constant surprises and challenges in dealing with design, execution and the quirkiness inherent in many species.
My focus in woodworking is laminating various hardwoods and/or hardwood veneer into interesting patterns and using the resulting block to create bowls, vessels or fashion accessories. I began my career full time in 1980 when it got out of hand as a hobby. Other than woodworking skills learned from my father and school shop classes, I'm mostly self taught, preferring trial and error or "happy accidents" to formal training. Almost every design crafted to a finished piece generates several other paths not taken that say to me, "what if you tried it this way, or that way....what would THAT look like?" So there are endless possibilities in form and pattern to be explored that make what I do fresh and intriguing. I consider myself fortunate to have found a medium to express my creativity and have as a livelihood.

Mobile applications are a $30 billion business, according to new Market Data from ABI Research.
The market intelligence company reveals that cumulative mobile app revenues are forecasted to pass $30 billion by the end of this year, which is nearly double the amount that was reached by the end of 2011. The cumulative revenue includes money made from pay-per-downloads, in-app purchases, subscriptions and in-app advertisements.
"Consumers' high interest in apps has for a long time been obvious from download volumes, but it's 2012 that will go down in history as the year when the economic side of the business finally took off," said ABI Research Senior Analyst Aapo Markkanen. "We're no longer talking only about a short-term gold rush. Apps have become a major digital industry."
It is also important to note that even though Apple was the catalyst behind monetizing mobile applications, Markkanen claims that Android developers are estimated to receive about one-third of annual app revenues.

Hello, returnofhate!
I have half of it solved.
I'll let you solve the other half . . .
Let's say we have 51 numbers located on a circle in such a way
that every number is equal to the sum of its two neighboring numbers.
Prove that the only combination of numbers is for all of them to be zero ?
Suppose the first two numbers are and
. . and we crank out the first dozen numbers.
We see that the numbers appear in a cycle-of-6.
This means that the last terms look likt this:
The next term on the cycle would be
Since the 51 numbers lie on the circle,
. . the next term should be the first term,
And the only we can have is if
Can you finish it?

The term neonatal encephalopathy is used to describe a variety of behavioral disturbances in a newborn foal. It may also be called neonatal maladjustment syndrome, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, or "dummy foal" syndrome. It is believed to result from decreased oxygen reaching the foal's tissues during birth. This causes varying degrees of damage to the central nervous system, depending on the age of the fetus, the length of oxygen deprivation, and on how low the oxygen level was.
Signs vary, ranging from a slow suckle response at birth to hyperexcitability, aimless wandering, depression, lying prone, loss of muscle tone, and seizures. In a common scenario, the foal appears normal at birth and progressively loses interest in its dam, loses its suckle reflex, can no longer stand, and begins to have seizures. The foal may start vocalizing, which has been described as sounding like a barking dog; thus, the term "barker foal" is also sometimes used to describe this condition.
If the foal does not also have an infection or limb paralysis, the outlook for neonatal encephalopathy is fair to good: about 80% of these foals recover and grow to be normal adults. With good supportive care, improvement can be seen every day. Mildly affected foals can recover in 2 days, but more severely affected foals may take more than a week before they are able to recognize their dam and suckle.
Providing warmth and nutrition is essential. If the foal does not have a suckle response, it should be tube-fed mare's milk or an appropriate mare milk substitute to keep it hydrated and maintain glucose levels. Foals should be fed 20 to 30% of their body weight over each 24-hour period. Antibiotics are often given to prevent secondary infections. Treatment may be needed to control seizures, and a protected or padded environment and a human holder to cradle the foal when recumbent can prevent the foal from injury during seizures. These foals are especially susceptible to eye trauma during seizures. A plasma transfusion may be needed if the foal did not receive enough colostrum (initial milk from the dam that contains antibodies).

Tiger Woods was supposed to have two great chances this season to notch his first major victory since 2008, but a nagging back injury has prevented him from emulating his past greatness.
After falling well short of contention at Hoylake, where he last captured the Claret Jug in the 2006 British Open, Woods was slated to return to Valhalla Golf Club for this week's PGA Championship.
However, he withdrew during the final round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday, giving Woods little time to recover for the final major of the season. But Woods says he will tee it up in Louisville, Kentucky. Golf.com passes along Woods' confirmation:
Are you definitely in for tomorrow? Woods: "Yeah." pic.twitter.com/MiC3e6jP5v— Golf.com (@si_golf) August 6, 2014
Golf Channel's Tiger Tracker reveals when Woods decided to play:
Made the decision to play yesterday. Once he made that decision he went to hit balls at home to make sure he could handle it.— GC Tiger Tracker (@GCTigerTracker) August 6, 2014
Woods also spoke about his surgically repaired back and if the injury had anything to do with his return to competition (via Ron Green Jr. of Global Golf Post and Dave Shedloski of Golf World):
Tiger sounded upbeat after playing 9 holes...said back issue at Firestone was unrelated to surgery...."I'm pain free...I feel good"— RonGreenJr (@RonGreenJr) August 6, 2014
Tiger Woods: "It's not the site of the surgery. This is something completely different." Hmm. Said same thing about knee at 2008 US Open.— Dave Shedloski (@DaveShedloski) August 6, 2014
The upcoming tournament and Woods' preparation for Thursday's first round were also part of the discussion (via Golf Channel and Golf.com):
"I'm going to try to go out there & win this." Tiger Woods is set to tee off tomorrow at 8:35AM ET. #PGAChamp pic.twitter.com/LHz1TYTFSz— Golf Channel (@GolfChannel) August 6, 2014
As for the back 9, just one club for Tiger: his putter. He'll walk the back and see the greens in preparation for tomorrow.— Golf.com (@si_golf) August 6, 2014
Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, had previously said on Sunday not to rule Woods out of the PGA Championship.
"Way too early. He has to rest and get treatment and then assess later," said Steinberg in a text message, per ESPN.com's Bob Harig. "Pointless to make that decision now without proper time to give him best chance. Nothing further today, maybe [not] even tomorrow."
Harig described Woods' practice round on Wednesday:
If Tiger is worried about taking it easy... doesn't appear to be the case so far. This warm-up session is like full-out practice.— Bob Harig (@BobHarig) August 6, 2014
Golf Channel's Jason Sobel documented what Woods said as he walked off the course at Firestone on the ninth hole:
Tiger: "Happened on the second hole when I hit my second shot. I fell back into the bunker. Just jarred it. It's been spasming ever since."— Jason Sobel (@JasonSobelGC) August 3, 2014
ESPN Stats & Info provided some context for the perils Woods has endured amid an injury-plagued 2013-14 campaign:
If Tiger Woods doesn't play the PGA Champ, it would be the first time since 1994 that he plays fewer than 2 major championships in a year.— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) August 4, 2014
If Tiger Woods doesn't play the PGA Champ, it would be the 1st time since 1995 that he fails to post a top-30 finish in a major in a year.— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) August 4, 2014
Past PGA Tour winner Parker McLachlin was critical of Woods' swing coach, Sean Foley, whose reconstruction of the superstar's swing may have had something to do with his back issues resurfacing:
At some point Tiger's bad back falls squarely on shoulders of the coach who continues to teach him a motion that continually compromises it— Parker McLachlin (@ParkerMcLachlin) August 3, 2014
How many career majors will Tiger Woods wind up with?
Woods is turning 39 in December, and the fact that his back has acted up so often this year leaves his golfing future in doubt. Jack Nicklaus' all-time record of 18 major victories seems as far away as ever for Woods at this juncture in his career, with all the uncertainty his physical health has created.
He has had plenty to play for since his return to competition at the Quicken Loans National in late June. Two majors at venues he'd conquered before were on the horizon, as well as the FedEx Cup playoffs and the chance to be a captain's pick for the USA Ryder Cup team.
Regardless of what happens in the coming years, Woods' rather swift return to the course from back surgery will continue to be questioned. Woods has previously pushed the boundaries of his physical limitations by playing in tournaments when he wasn't ideally fit to do so. Part of that stems from the fierce determination that's made him one of the all-time greats.
Now it may be coming back to haunt Woods as he prepares to enter his 40s. With prohibitive PGA Championship favorite Rory McIlroy and a slew of young, talented players coming into their own, winning more majors will be even harder for Woods in his pursuit of Nicklaus' record.

Hermès and LVMH: You Know What, Let's Just Sue Each Other
Because ... why not?
As it turns out, Hermès International is still upset about LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton's slowly growing (first, it was 17.1 percent, now it's 22.3 percent, and soon it'll be a billi — kidding?) stake in the company. The Birkin-maker filed a complaint in Paris court over the summer, "accusing LVMH of insider trading, collusion, and manipulating stock prices," according to WWD's sources. And then, out of nowhere, LVMH decided yesterday to sue Hermès for "slander, blackmail, and unfair competition." Apparently, nothing is expected to happen until French watchdog AMF concludes whether LVMH followed market rules ... more financial speak ... some legal jargon ... real talk: Which Céline bag would you give up your first-born for?

Don't Sacrifice Love
A Man Advocates Having Both Marriage And A Career
In April, we published an article titled "Marriage Can Wait" by John Bowe (that originally appeared on YourTango) in which he advocated his choice to hold off on marriage in order to pursue his career. Here's the opposing response to his piece, also from a man's perspective. —Glo
By Brian Fairbanks for YourTango
John Bowe argued that it's best for us all to go solo until we've made a living, regardless of how it hurts our romantic prospects in the meantime. As a fellow (male) writer, I'd like to contend that he's dead wrong. Love doesn't have to interfere with your career; it can actually support it. YourTango reader BookMama asked Bowe, "What if you have more than one dream in life: a partner who loves you, children and writing or whatever your career is?" My answer would be: Pursue them all, all at once. Here's why:
1. Relationships don't interfere with your career — dating does. In my experience, it's dating that gets in the way of writers and other ambitious people. Dating can become a serious time suck if you're doing it remotely right and going out at least once a week. The phone calls, the IMs, the discussions with friends — it all adds up to a good deal of work and greatly reduces the ability for career people to focus on their professional lives.
Personally, getting past the constant going-out-and-meeting-people and arriving at the one-person-only relationship phase is integral to my concentration and momentum as a writer. The bottom line is, if someone truly cares for you, they will understand when your projects are more important than your plans to take them to tango class. (A simple "The money I'm making from this design will help pay for next semester's lessons, I promise" certainly helps.)
2. Living with someone and being creative is better than living alone and being creative. Picture this scenario: You're working on a long-term project that's taking up all your time and energy. You have no significant other at the time and are too busy to date. You sink into depression and become easily distracted while the deadline looms. If you had a boyfriend who came over and brought you takeout, wouldn't that help turn things around?
Your girlfriend or boyfriend can talk you through tough creative patches or keep on your case to apply for a fellowship you're being pessimistic about. Sure, building a career and a marriage ended in disastrous results for greats like Sylvia Plath and Norman Mailer, but it wasn't the writing that caused those relationships to collapse. If you are going to fall in love, why hold back in favor of your career when your Facebook page is about to have its first fan?
3. Marriage won't distract you. The main issue I have with Bowe's perspective is the idea that a dream would have to be shoved aside to let someone else join the team. If a marriage involving a creative person is going to work, both partners need to support — not hinder — each other. The couples whose dreams of glory fall by the wayside are probably made up of people who would have given up sooner or later anyway.
As for Bowe's worry that marriage equals having kids, who are obviously going to greatly diminish your "me" time, I've found that ambitious people tend to find a way to get things done between diapers or parent-teacher conferences; they're going to make it no matter what "gets in the way."
4. There's a reason "richer or poorer" is in those marriage vows. Considering the stiff competition and difficulty of having long-term success in artistic careers, it's good to remember that, like many of the best things in life, love isn't about money. It's about sticking with people, regardless of whether they ever make it, and being grateful that at least you're together and working through it.
5. Do we really have a choice? Bowe says he recently fell in love for the first time in 15 years. I want to know: Would he have changed his views on love vs. career if he had met someone undeniably special along the way, or if he hadn't lucked into love now that he's decided he's ready?
To look at it another way, everyone falls into a Jennifer Aniston-sized love rut once in a while, and that is the time to focus on other things like family, the debt situation and maybe changing jobs or cities. But to give up entirely on dating and focusing only on the career until you're 45 — is that even possible?
Love doesn't care if you're working on a novel or done with a screenplay and now looking for love. You can't force it, so there's no point in saying, "I'm just going to pretend not to have feelings until I'm well-established."
6. Long-term outlook. I agree with Bowe that it's extremely difficult to create a career as an artist with kids — especially without the dough to go out and schmooze while Mary Poppins does the tutoring. In fact, it's hard enough to make a living as a writer being single and not dating at all. But even if he's right, if being alone does make it easier — is that what we really want?
To wake up at 45 with successful careers after ten or twenty years of being alone? I, for one, would rather strive for balance. And then if I do achieve success, there will be someone there to celebrate with.

BULLYING IS a national problem, and one growing in scope.
On the local level, steps are being put in place to help curb, if not totally eliminate, a disturbing issue.
The battle against bullying was reinforced Friday when a local school in the Harrison Hills School District unveiled its comprehensive game plan.
It is one that we hope and believe will be effective. It is also one that other Ohio Valley schools would be wise to implement, should they not already have their own plan in place.
Harrison North Elementary School has opted to take a pro-active approach to the bullying problem. It did so by launching its Olweus Anti-Bullying Program.
The school unveiled the program in front of the entire student body and staff, explaining the problems that such behavior presents and the goals in stopping it. Thus, all those involved were brought up to speed.
Olweus Anti-Bullying Program raises awareness in regards to bullying and presents guidelines for students encountering such a scenario. The pupils are being encouraged to refrain from bullying, aiding those who are victims and report such incidents to adults.
The consequences were spelled out to all students, removing any gray areas or allowing for misconceptions to develop. Moreover, staff members will dialogue with students daily on the issue and reinforce the benefits of good behavior.
The efforts being undertaken at Harrison North Elementary will unlikely eliminate all bullying activity at the school, but we do believe it will be greatly reduced.
We commend school officials for their aggressive stance on bullying and encourage other schools to follow suit.

Finally some fish, after dues were paid
My last three trips to the Smokies had yielded a grand total of 2 fish. Each trip had been affected by rain, freezing cold weather or really high and fast water. That combined with how difficult it is to actually set a hook here had left us frustrated. So when my boys and I pulled into the campground to a torrential thunderstorm, I thought "here we go again". After a rainy night, we really weren't expecting much in the way of fishing today. I guess I just had to pay my dues here. Well after an entire morning of nothing but high, fast water and tough wading, I slipped on a rock and fell all the way in, as in completely soaked and doing the backstroke kind of wet. After my soak, things began to change. I found some slower water where large boulders broke the current and changed to a pink weenie, which my 14 year old son tied for me right before this trip. We ended up with 7 total, which we were really, really excited about. My son caught a nice brown near the campground that I was too slow with the camera on, but it was his first Smokies trout. All were caught on the weenie that my son tied. We are already making plans for our next trip.
First one of the day
This was the hole I caught him in
My biggest one in Smokies so far, he put up a good fight!
Water was high and fast
Nice place to end the trip
Great! So now you really are "hooked..."
In a week or so, this is be one of your favorite trips. The soaking wet and uncomfortable will fade into laughter (especially from your kids) and you will remember all the fish you caught. And when you come for your next trip you will say, "remember how good we did last year?"
Let's give a "pat on the back" to your son for tying the fly that delivered the goods.......good job......glad you had a good trip!!!:smile:
Great job! Sometimes paying your dues are what's required. Way to stick with it and catch some nice trout. Congrats to your son as well on tying some fish-catching flies...
One word... beetles.
With high water, I love them and usually so do the fish. Might help raise your catch count as well... ;)
Tight Lines,
Got to love catching them on family tied flies
At least the kids did not post a photo of your backstroke floundering
Nice Stuff! Thanks for posting.
The learning curve on the Smokies can be a little steep at first:frown:, but it looks like your now past the hardest part:smile:, and in just a few more trips will be landing good numbers:biggrin:
And to be honest the only time I find the pink weenie to be superior to all other droppers is in really high water. Don't know if they can just see it, or what. Most of the time a Pheasant Tail, prince nymph, Tellico, etc are just as good.

In a tale of addiction, and its affects on a band, comes Fresh Pots! the haunting vignette of Dave Grohl's dependency of the coffee bean. For the first time Them Crooked Vultures have released a short video on how the addiction spiraled out of control, and just how bad it got. With a look of sheer terror on Joshua Homme's face he chronicles Grohl's daily coffee intake, speculating that Grohl "probably has 5 fresh pots a day!" To see it all unfold, visit the band's YouTube (www.youtube.com/themcrookedvultures) and for even more 'in studio' footage from Them Crooked Vultures click here!

Hello! It's my first thread here, so if i make something wrong, please correct me! =)
Well... i'm crushing my head and i couldn't find a solution for this limit
Can somebody help me? (:
Hello weber, and welcome to the Forum!
To find , start by multiplying top and bottom of the fraction by , to get . Then factorise the denominator (difference of two squares) as . Now you can cancel the factors and evaluate the result at x=1.
Edit. Sorry, I didn't see Plato's comment.
Hey! Thanks a lot for both anwers and lightening speed reply!
@Opalg Thanks for the tip! The key is in the factorise the denominator
@Plato Did you do the same as Opalg? (multiplying top and bottom of the fraction by \sqrt{2x+3} + \sqrt5) ?
Also, there is more options to solve this limit?

Mini Bio (1)
Canadian-born Paul Anka first achieved success in the 1950s as a teenage singing star (and, for the times, an unusual one in that he wrote many of his own songs). Although he appeared in several films, and was quite believable as a nervous, hyper young soldier in The Longest Day (1962) (for which he also composed the theme music), Anka's main interest was music, and he concentrated his efforts into composing (he wrote lyrics for Frank Sinatra's classic "My Way") and nightclub appearances in Las Vegas.
