text: One of the most prevalent and useful arguments that gun control advocates use is that all they want to do is to reduce gun violence. They assume that all violence is Bad! There is a serious flaw to these arguments. The flaw is that there are two basic types of violence, gun related or not; Good Violence and Bad Violence. Sometimes, even in a political society, in order to preserve and protect innocent people it is necessary to engage in acts of violence or at least be willing to engage in acts of violence. In such cases you almost always need to possess a weapon of violence. ( i.e. a gun ) For example should a man rape a woman that would be an act of violence, Bad Violence! Should that woman shoot or threaten to shoot that man to prevent that rape that would also be an act of violence, Good Violence. Weapons are inanimate objects, only people can be good or bad. The vast majority of people will intuitively realize the truth of the above. Then the only task left would be to show that, at least in our society, the private possession of firearms is used to prevent acts of Bad Violence far, far more often that they are used to commit acts of Bad Violence. In other words, our society benefits greatly from the widespread presence of firearms. The price we pay is small in comparison. Please note that some people are just too irrational to accept this truth. I have met such people myself. You will not be able to sway their opinions no matter what. Only continue the argument if there are others listening who's minds are still malleable. Some people actually believe that armed self defense is morally wrong and should even be made illegal. More on this later,

Republican Congressman Says Democrats Calling His Office Are Upset Women Can Use Guns Against Rapists
If most Democrats have to choose between women being armed or being raped, they'd prefer that women be raped.
Even though that's true, it still seems to be an outrageous statement, doesn't it? Yet, that's what complaining Democrats have been telling the staff of pro-gun Republican Steve Stockman according to the Congressman.
Democrats calling our office today to argue women should not be allowed to defend themselves with a gun if they are raped #WarOnWomen
— Rep. Steve Stockman (@SteveWorks4You) May 31, 2013
As a conservative, I don't agree with pro-gun control left-wingers who don't believe that women should be allowed to defend themselves and their children against murderers, stalkers and rapists. Those are the people who are really engaging in a "war on women" and liberals are helping them along with gun control laws.

President Amadou Toumani Toure of Mali has formally resigned as part of a deal with coup leaders to end the crisis gripping the West African state.
International mediator Djibrill Bassole, Burkina Faso's foreign minister, confirmed a letter of resignation had been submitted.
The resignation paves the way for the coup leaders to step aside and the parliamentary speaker to take over.
Mali has been grappling with a separatist uprising in the north.
It intensified after the coup by army officers on 22 March.
Sanctions lifted
Mr Bassole, who represents the West African regional bloc Ecowas, met Mr Toure in the Malian capital, Bamako.
"We have just received the formal letter of resignation from President Amadout Toumani Toure," he told reporters.
"We will now contact the competent authorities so that the vacancy of the presidency would be established and so that they take the appropriate measures."
Under the agreement, the Malian parliamentary speaker, Dioncounda Traore, will take over as interim president and govern with a transitional administration until elections are held.
Ecowas has lifted sanctions it imposed after the coup and an amnesty has been agreed for the coup leaders.
The coup, led by Capt Amadou Sanogo, took place amid concerns in the army that the government was not doing enough to supress the insurrection in the north.
Sharia law
Since the coup, key towns in northern Mali have fallen to Tuareg separatist rebels and their Islamist allies.
The Tuaregs have called for their newly-named territory of Azawad to be recognised as independent, although this notion has been dismissed by the international community.
There are two main groups behind the rebellion, namely the secular National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) and Ansar Dine, an Islamist group.
The latter has started to impose Sharia law in some towns.
The MNLA is made up partly of Tuaregs who had fought in Libya on the side of Col Muammar Gaddafi and returned to Mali after he was killed.
Human rights group Amnesty International has warned of a major humanitarian disaster in the wake of the rebellion.
Meanwhile, Ecowas is preparing a force of up to 3,000 soldiers which could be deployed to stop the rebel advance.
The Tuaregs, who inhabit the Sahara Desert in the north of Mali, as well as several neighbouring countries, have fought several rebellions over the years.
They complain they have been ignored by the authorities in Bamako.

This was really delicious. I really couldn't stop eating this, it was soo good!!! I will defenitely make this again. Thanks for posting!
Although this is an interesting recipe, I thought this needed a bit more of a kick for us. I wasn't sure the size pan, so it is possible that I used too big of a pan to make this, however I think this is a great recipe for cleaning out the vegetable drawer and is easily open to adaptations depending what is on hand. I did some subsitutions based on what I had on hand using brocolli instead of zucchini, and 2 potatoes and 1 turnip instead of the 3 potatoes, but using the four tomatoes. I also added a green and red bell pepper to the chopped onions. Thanks for sharing this very versatile recipe.

BALMAIN Homme Fall/Winter 2015
Here are your first looks at the Balmain Homme Fall/Winter 2015 mens collection. I of course love the luxurious textures and the use of the crystal and embroideries. Something new and interesting this season are the extreme proportions Olivier infused into the silhouettes of the mens collection. From the Samurai style pants to the extra long blazers. I also love the new lengthy coats, especially the velvet one with the embroidered cuffs - it's so luxurious #HOTDAYM!.. Anyways, continue reading to see more of the collection and read Olivier Rousteing's method behind the madness and inspiration for the collection.
For this collection, I was inspired by how I'm seeing today's new generation dress for the evening. In all parts of the world—from Los Angeles to Hong Kong, with stops in Paris, London, Dubai and the other traditional and rising fashion capitals along the way — I've been noticing what you could call the evolution of the 'new aristocrats.'
Unlike traditional aristocrats, this diverse and inclusive grouping of stylish men knows how to confidently blend together looks pulled from both their fathers' wardrobes and the streets. For Fall 2015, I'm channeling their energy and referencing that new creative mix made up of perfect doses of classic pieces, fluid silhouettes and hip-hop stylings. It's a spirit that seems right for my generation and a style that I feel comfortable calling my own.

So the latest in a pretty long line of adaptations of Jane Austen's Emma has come to an end, and frankly, though I love period drama, I'm not sorry to see the curtain come down on this one.
Where the previous episodes have plodded somewhat, this final one tried to cram so much into the conclusion, it was breathlessly done, but worse yet, liberties with the original were taken that disappointed me.
Of course writers always want to put their own mark on adaptations, but I suspect that's part of the reason why Sandy Welch has found this version of Emma hasn't exactly broken any viewing figure records. The climax, while possibly somewhat pedestrian in the original work, was tampered with rather more than I'd liked it to have been.
Another niggle for me was that Romola Garai as Emma seemed to over think her part. Her exaggerated expressions and rather boxy attempts at high spirits were uncomfortable at times. Similarly, I thought Jonny Lee Miller portrayed Mr Knightley rather too light heartedly sometimes.
That said though, I think Welch did the right thing in making the key roles of some of the characters better known and in doing so, altering their personae somewhat. For instance, Harriet Smith and her circumstances got more air time than other adaptations have given her, and that helped to express the inequality that's so important in the original piece.
Perhaps overall, despite the above positive note, I'm being too harsh on Welch; after all, adapting such a classic is a tall order and for Austen purists, probably any adaptation is going to be found wanting, but certainly with the last episode last night, I felt that it was not only hurried, it was tampered with too much to be easily forgiven.
The picnic at Box Hill is a pivotal scene of course and quite aside from the questionable alterations made to the Austen ending, it all felt rather overblown for the sake of dramatic conclusion.
But to add a positive again to that negative, as they've been throughout, the costumes and settings were faultless and added a romanticism that was so compelling, it almost made up for the often minor niggles about the adaptation. And the fantastic Michael Gambon as Mr Woodhouse damn near carried the whole thing through the worst of its treacheries.
I do think though that it's now time Emma was left alone for a good long while, if not permanently. However good an adaptation may be, it inevitably dilutes the original piece and I'd hate to lose the true value of Emma in the attempt to bring her to the telly watching masses.

Comments about HP All-in-One 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard and Mouse:
absolute piece of junk! both the keyboard and mouse barely ever work, the mouse has problems with scrolling and it only logs prob. less than 50% of the movements you give it. keyboard is no better, constantly freezing and not working! both eat batteries constantly which gets very expensive over time...terrible products!!! do not get these products unless you enjoy unreliability and constant headaches dealing with improperly functioning equipment!
terrible, only works around less than 50% of the time! constantly freezes and logs tons of the same letter instead of working properly and besides that it eats through batteries
keys have popped off, and the batteries don't properly stay in their holder
good design like any other key board, and mouse
both keyboard and mouse are comfortable enough but there's nothing special about either as far as this goes
Comments about HP All-in-One 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard and Mouse:
I have an HP G-72 Laptop. I am in the process of typing a manuscript for a book I'm trying to get published. I have found that HP Wireless Keyboard makes it a lot easier. You can plug the USB into you computer and type in bed if you want. I actually have my sister type on my computer from her desk upstairs at times. Although she can't see the screen, she is a good enough typist that she doesn't make a lot of mistakes. It is thin, lightweight, and as I said can be used anywhere. If you do a lot of typing on your Laptop it is a good investment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to lens structures and more particularly to new spherical lens structures in each of which the refractive index decreases progressively from the centre toward the outer surface thereof and a process for producing the same.
Heretofore, it has been considered extremely diflicult to produce lenses of small aperture and, moreover, of short focal length, and particularly lenses of small aperture and ultra-wide angle of field which can be put to practical use have never been developed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION the centre toward the outer surface of the lens structure in a manner such that the distribution of the refractive index within the structure can be expressed substantially by the equation 1 (1+ w r) (1) wherein n is the refractive index of the structure at a radial distance r from the centre thereof, n is the refractive index at the central part, a is a positive constant, and (r/a) is less than one (unity).
According to the present invention in another aspect thereof, there is provided a process for producing a spherical lens structure of the above stated character which is characterised by the step of causing a spherical glass-body containing first cations capable of constituting modifying oxides to contact at and over the outer surface thereof an ionic source containing second cations capable of constituting modifying oxides thereby to cause the first cations to be substituted by t6 second cations through the contact surface with final result that the above described refractive i ex distribution of the spherical glass structure is established therein.
The nature, principles, details, and utility of the invention will be more clearly apparent from the following detailed description beginning with general considerations and concluding with an example of preferred embodiment of the invention when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It has been made clear in optics that, theoretically, there are no aberrations whatsoever in the interior of an optical system having a refractive index distribution representable by Equation 1 set forth hereinbefore, and an example of such an optical system is known as Maxwells fish-eye.
The present invention provides in a concrete and practical form lens structures in which this principle is utilised.
Referring to FIG. 1, a light ray which has been emitted from a point P outside of a spherical lens structure 1 of the invention having a refractive index distribution according to Equation 1 and has entered this structure 1 advances therein along an arcuate path. This path can be represented by the following equation in terms of the x y coordinates as shown in FIG. 1.
where In these equations, a and g are constants determined by the light incidence conditions.
Then, when the distance I from the center 0 of th lens 1 to the point P is taken to conform to the relationshiz "Patented May I972 over, at the surface of the lens structure 1 opposite from the object 2 as indicated in FIG. 2. By disposing one end of a bundle 4 of optical glass fibres in an orderly arrangement conforming to a definite relationship intimately against the surface of the lens 1 at which the image 3 is formed, preferably with the ends of all fibres perpendicular to the surface as indicated in FIG. 2, it is possible to conduct the image 3 to the other end of the glass fibre bundle 4 to obtain an image 3a.
The spherical lens structures of the invention can be produced, in general, in the following manner. First, a glass containing cations capable of constituting modifying oxides, particularly a glass containing an oxide of a metal such as TI, and Pb, the ions of which have a relatively large magnitude of contribution to increase in the glass refractive index or a relatively large ratio of (electron polarizability)/ (ion radius) within the glass (hereinafter called a metal A), is melted and formed into spherical shape by a known process. Then, when necessary, the shape of this spherical glass structure is finished by a step such as polishing or etching.
Then, in order to establish a refractive index distribution conforming to Equation 1 set forth hereinbefore in the spherical glass structure thus prepared, this glass structure is immersed in a molten salt bath such as that of a nitrate of sulphate of a metal such as Li, Na, or K of relatively small magnitude of contribution to increase in the glass refractive index or of relatively small ratio of (electron polarizability)/ (ion radius) in the glass of the ion hereinafter called a metal B. The A ions within the glass structure are thereby substituted through the surface thereof by the B ions. As a result, the A ions which were nearer the outer surface of the glass structure are substituted in greater number by the B ions. Consequently, the distribution of the concentration of the A ions within the glass structure is such that the concentration progressively decreases from the centre toward the outer surface, while the concentration of the B ions is so distributed that it progressively increases from the centre toward the outer surface. Since the degree of this ion exchange varies with the temperature of the molten salt bath and the time period of immersion in this bath, a spherical glass structure of a desired refractive index distribution can be produced by appropriately adjusting these variables.
Furthermore, we have found that by using a salt bath containing not only B ions but a mixture of salts containing A ions of a concentration lower than that in the glass structure, it is possible to adjust the substitution quantity and substitution speed of bath A and B ions.
In Equation 1 given hereinbefore, since the quantity (r/a) is normally much smaller than one (unity), Equation 1 can be approximated by the following equation.
..structure having a substantially quadratic or seconddegree distribution of refractive index thereof from the centre toward the outer surface except for the outer 'surface part and substantially satisfying Equation la can be obtained. We have found that the value of the constant a in the foregoing equations is generally of the order of from 1.5 mm. to 4 mm. in the case where the diameter of the spherical glass structure is of the order of 1.5 mm.
If the spherical glass structure is contacting in a constant position the vessel containing the molten salt during the above described ion exchange, uniform ion exchange cannot be carried out over the entire outer surface of the spherical glass structure, and the desired refractive index distribution cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is desirable to vary continually the .point at which the spherical glass structure contacts the vessel or to prevent the structure from contacting the vessel. While various methods are available for this purpose, we have found that an excellent technique comprises producing a steady supply of gas bubbles in the molten salt bath and thereby holding the glass sphere in a floating or suspended state in the bath at an intermediate depth thereof.
In the case wherein the refractive index distribution of a spherical lens structure obtained in the above described manner deviates from Equation 1 in the outer surface part thereof, this part may be removed by chemical etching or by grinding and polishing.
In order to indicate still more fully the nature and utility of the invention, the following example of practice illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention is set forth, it being understood that this example is presented as illustrative and that it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
EXAMPLE A glass having a composition by weight of 40 percent of SiO 10 percent of Na O, and 50 percent of T1 0 was formed into a sphere of a diameter of 1.3 mm. The refractive index of this glass sphere was found to be uniformly 1.727.
To establish the desired refractive index distribution in this spherical glass structure,it was immersed in a molten salt bath as illustrated in FIG. 3, in which the glass structure 5 is shown immersed in a molten salt 6 contained in a metal vessel 7, and a metal pipe 8 having a horizontal end part provided with a plurality of small holes 9 is placed in the molten salt 6 so that the horizontal end part is near the bottom of the vessel 7.
The molten salt 6 was maintained in a molten state by a heating device (not shown) provided outside of the vessel 7. Compressed air was passed through the pipe 8 and through the small holes 9 into the molten salt, whereupon air bubbles were formed therein and floated upward, whereby the spherical glass structure 5 was held in a contatcless state with respect to the vessel 7, while being repeatedly rotated.
The composition of the molten salt 6 was a mixture of 0.5 percent by weight of thallium nitrate with potassium nitrate. The vessel 7 was heated by means of the heating device provided outside of the vessel, and the molten salt 6 was maintained at approximately 400 degrees C., at which temperature the contact between the glass sphere 5 and the molten salt 6 was continued for 300 hours to obtain the desired ion exchange.
More specifically, Tl+ ions and Na+ ions originally contained within the glass structure 5 fused out into the molten salt 6 through the surface of the glass structure, and, conversely, K+ ions within the molten salt 6 entered the interior of the glass structure. As a result, the concentrations of the Tl+ ions, and the Na+ ions, and K+ ions within the glass structure 5 progressive varied from the outer surface toward the centre of the structure. Consequantly, Tl+ ions and Na+ ions progressively decreased in concentration from the centre toward the outer periphery, while K+ ions progressively increased from the centre toward the outer periphery.
Next, since the outer surface part of the glass structure 5 then had an undesirable refractive index distribution, it was removed. Specifically, the glass structure 5 was taken out of the molten bath 6, cooled slowly, washed with water, dried, and then immersed in a 3.3-percent (by weight) aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid maintained at 20 degrees C. and agitated to impart vibration between the spherical glass structure and the solution. After approximately 5 minutes, the glass structure was taken out of the solution and washed with water to remove matter such as silicofluoride on the outer surface thereof. This process step of immersion in the hydrofluoric acid solution and washing with water was repeated 15 times, whereupon a spherical glass structure of a diameter of approximately 1.2 mm. was obtained. The surface of the structure thus obtained was polished to produce an optically perfect sphere.
The distributions of the concentrations of thallium, sodium, and potassium in radial directions passing through the centre of this spherical glass structure were measured by an X-ray analysis technique. The results were converted into refractive index values, whereupon the refractive index distribution with respect to depth from the surface of the structure indicated in FIG. 4 was obtained. A refractive index distribution obtained by acutal measurement of refractive index was in agreement with this distribution obtained by conversion.
Since this distribution conforms substantially to Equation 1, this spherical glass structure was utilisable as a lens of short focal length and small aperture. In the specific case of this example, the value of n was 1.727, and the value of a was 1.57 mmfin Equation 1.
It was found that by placing the spherical lens structure thus obtained in intimate contact with one end of a bundle (of a diameter of approximately 1.2 mm.) of optical fibres arranged in an orderly manner, the structure could be utilised as an objective lens of a so-called fibrescope. When this fibrescope was tested in making observations, it was found that an object positioned approximately 5.5 cm. in front of the forward surface of the spherical lens could be clearly observed with a field of substantially 180 degrees.
The spherical lens structure according to the invention has a shorter focal length and less aberration than a contional spherical lens or glass bead having a uniform refraction index. Particularly when a spherical lens structure of the invention such as to satisfy the condition of infinitely large I in Equation 4, i.e., zero value of the denominator of the right-hand side of Equation 4, in other words, such as to satisfy substantially the equation is selected, and a part of the outer surface, here considered the back surface, is coated with a light-reflecting coating, parallel incident light rays entering from any direction into this spherical lens through its front surface are reflected at the back side of the lens and return toward their original direction.
For example, a spherical lens of n =1.60, d=0.5 mm., and a=2.25 mm. satisfies the above equation. Accordingly, spherical lenses of this character can be used, for example, on a signboard such as a road sign whereby there is obtained a signboard with inscriptions of higher reflectivity than on signboards on which conventional spherical lenses of uniform reflective index (preferably a reflective index of 2.0) are used.
Furthermore, in the particular case of a spherical lens structure such as to satisfy the condition of I=d in Equation 4, that is, of a=d, when an object is positioned in contact with one part of the outer surface of this lens, an image of the same size as the object is formed on the oyposite lense surface without any aberration whatsoever.
We claim:
1. A one-piece spherical lens structure comprising a spherical body of glass of a composition including thallium oxide to provide in said glass, thallium ions having the characteristic of increasing the refractive index of the glass, said spherical glass body having at least one specie of metal ions selected from the group consisting of lithium ions, sodium ions, and potassium ions diffused into said body uniformly from the entire outer surface of said spherical glass body toward the center and substituted for thallium ions so that the concentration of said thallium ions decreases from the center toward the outer surface of the spherical glass body and the concentration of said selected metal ions increases from the center toward the outer surface of the spherical glass body to provide a distribution of the refractive index within the lens structure expressed substantially by the equation 1 "i:1+ wherein n is the refractive index at a radial distance r from the center of the structure, n is the refractive index where d is the radius of the spherical lens structure.

After completing his conquest of the Persian empire, Alexander the Great maneuvered his army across the Hindu Kush and into India. During his two years there, he traveled from dry frigid mountains to humid tropical lowlands and then back across one of the most punishing deserts on the planet. He fought a series of desperate battles against strange foes mounted on war-elephants, suffering wounds that nearly killed him. And when he eventually turned homeward, he brought with him specimens of a rare, magical species, a bird that could speak with a human voice.
Introduced to Europe by Alexander, parrots were quickly embraced by Western culture as exotic and astonishing, full of marvelous powers, and close to the gods. Over the centuries they would become objects of veneration or figures of folly, creatures prized for their wit—or their place on the dinner table. Ultimately, they would become emblematic of the West's interaction with the world at large. Identifying a deeply rooted obsession with these beautiful and loquacious birds, Bruce Thomas Boehrer provides the first account of parrots and their impact on the Western world.
Parrot Culture: Our 2500-Year-Long Fascination with the World's Most Talkative Bird traces the unusual history of parrots from their introduction in the Graeco-Roman world as items of oriental luxury, through the great age of New World exploration, to the contemporary ecological crisis of globalism. Boehrer identifies the poignant irony in the way parrots became ubiquitous as symbols and mascots, while suffering near extinction at the hands of those who desired them. Exploring their presence and meanings in the art, literature, and history of Western civilization, Parrot Culture also celebrates the beauty, intelligence, and personality of these birds, whose fate will say as much about us and the world we have created as it will about them.
