Like Trotsky, Martin Gilbert pauses reflectively in 1933, aware that, with Hitler newly installed as German Chancellor, the worst is yet to come. Eric Hobsbawm ingeniously abbreviated the subject in his "short century", arguing that modern history began belatedly in 1914 and prematurely ended in 1989, when the Berlin Wall collapsed. Gilbert's, however, is a long, long century, and on his exhausting trek - this 900-page volume is the first of three - he intends to allot 35 pages to each of its years. He defines the century's agenda well, concentrating on the disintegration of those European empires which profitably gobbled up the globe during the 19th century, and connecting decolonisation abroad with movements of liberation at home: campaigns for workers' rights, and for female suffrage.
Gilbert begins with the Boer war and the Boxer rebellion, early challenges to imperial hegemony. He seems to be sneakingly fond of Britain's empire, and among his manifold excerpts from the Times is a letter in 1901, after Queen Victoria's funeral, which reports that "African chiefs have ordered tom-toms to be beaten or cattle sacrificed" to ensure the repose of the old trout's soul. Gilbert also laments the decline of the Austro-Hungarian empire. In 1904 the "11 separate peoples" ruled by the Habsburgs agitated for autonomy. Ninety years later, those 11 peoples are busy fragmenting themselves in genocidal civil wars. The empires of others, as Gilbert makes clear, were less benevolent. In Morocco, zealous Spanish troops hacked off the heads of Moorish insurgents, which Franco considered an "exemplary punishment". The Belgian king treated the Congo as a personal fiefdom, pocketing pounds 360,000 a year from the rubber trade and countenancing the enslavements and massacres on which his wealth depended; he spent the spoils on malachite beds, electrified pagodas, and the beautification of Ostend. Little, in the long run, has changed, except that in recent years the profiteering has been done by the indigenous despot Mobutu.
The best and liveliest part of Gilbert's book is his account of what Churchill in 1914 called "those stupid Kings and Emperors", whose cosy, proprietorial complacency destroyed the old world order. The German Kaiser - attending the funeral of his grandmother, Queen Victoria - proposed an alliance between "the two Teutonic nations". Britain could rule the waves, while Germany would control the land. "Not a mouse," Wilhelm growled, "will stir without our permission." Ah, the mordant retrospective ironies of history: the Kaiser and the Tsar, chummily corresponding in English, addressed each other as Nicky and Willy. By 1908, these clubbable potentates were on the defensive. When Edward VII visited his cousin the Tsar in one of Russia's Baltic ports, they socialised on board their yachts, fearing assassination if they came ashore. In 1918, shamed by Germany's defeat, Wilhelm slunk off to exile in Holland, where he consoled himself by blaming the Jews for his disgrace.
Elsewhere, these trumped-up ceremonial dummies had a longer shelf-life. On tour in 1911, the Japanese emperor was delayed for 20 minutes when his train jumped the points. A station master accepted responsibility and disembowelled himself. How differently things are run on our own non- feudal railways!
History, of course, has no happy endings, and - like the transition from greedy King Leopold to the equally rapacious Mobutu - the social engineers who unseated those plumed dotards turned out to be just as villainous. Lenin in 1922 advised his so-called Commissar of Justice that "the law should not abolish terror". Dangerously joking with a tyrant, the official remarked that "his department might better be named 'Commissariat for Social Extermination'". Lenin nodded serenely, but reminded his underling that in politics one must never tell the truth. Later in the same year, he quaintly denounced Stalin's lack of "the most elementary honesty".
When the century began, who could oppose the assault on bourgeois civilisation, with its smug inequities and its hypocritical equation between riches and virtue? But the dialectic moves in mysterious ways, and Gilbert exposes the cynical destructiveness of the revolutionaries. Lenin, sitting out the combat in Switzerland, delighted in the First World War, because he thought it presaged "the fall of capitalism". Ideologues reduced the range of political options to a starkly binary conflict. "The choice of the 20th century," Mussolini insisted, "must lie between Fascism and Bolshevism." Hitler offered two mutually exclusive emblems: "the swastika or the iron star". We are still, as the century expires, seeking to define a middle way.
The spirit of modernity briskly took the world to pieces, then puzzled over how to put it back together again. The new physics killed off time and space, while cubism, as Apollinaire said, "aggressively interrogated the universe". Kandinsky, reading about the electron theory, felt the ground shudder beneath him. Once the makeshift empires fell apart, everything became unstable. A Bavarian Soviet was established in 1918. The next year, even Switzerland had a brief Red revolution, although the shops soon reopened for business.
Maps were frighteningly malleable, their boundaries fickle and relativistic. In 1913 Germans received financial rewards for beating up Frenchmen in Alsace, seen as renegades from the Reich. Italy squabbled with Yugoslavia over the islands in the Adriatic and undertook, as Mussolini put it, the "ruthless Italianisation" of the South Tyrol. Hitler, like Kaiser Wilhelm, based German foreign policy on the race-hatred between Teuton and Slav. Stalin identified a class of home-grown enemies, and modernised Soviet agriculture by starving and shooting four or five million peasants. The United States reverted to the squabbling disunity which is its native condition. In 1910 a black boxer defeated a white rival in Nevada. White Americans rioted throughout the country, and lynch mobs warned blacks not to become too uppity. The Ku Klux Klan paraded through New York in 1927. In the same year, a rabid mayoral candidate vowed to decolonise Chicago: he promised to remove all English books from the public library and have them burnt.
Churchill - Gilbert's particular hero, about whom he has written a dozen books - wearily sighed in 1922: "What a disappointment the 20th century has been." Less than a quarter of it had then elapsed: if only he'd known about the rest! Gilbert has trudged through a third of his chronicle, and it too is a disappointment. He relies so heavily on journalistic dispatches that his book sometimes reads like an anthology of archival quotes from the Times. He fusses over treaties and diplomatic deals, and ignores profounder changes taking place inside the mind. Freud and Einstein are mentioned once only, and then with reference to political, not intellectual, activities. Each chapter otiosely informs you how many people died in cinema fires in that particular year, and all bulletins conclude with a weather report. "In the United States," Gilbert comments in his summary of 1913, "natural and man-made disasters were a feature of the year." In which year, I wonder, weren't they?
He tries to dispense some occasional good news: ignoring the arts, he touts pre-sliced Wonder Bread and the paper cup as among the century's blessings. Though not looking out for errors, I couldn't help noticing that he misquotes the inscription on the Statue of Liberty, attributes the tubular steel chair (another of the century's dubious legacies) to Charles not Marcel Breuer, and does not understand Australia's federal constitution.
Gilbert's style is already fatigued. Historical or moral tides punctually turn, and Slav clouds appear on Austrian horizons. The fires of dissent "smoulder and burst into flame", though "the fires of nationalism" are quenched. Hotbeds of revolt inevitably seethe. The Tsar "bows to the storm", while the Kaiser blows hot, then blows cold. Gilbert has toiled mightily (and even expects credit for the fact that the index is "compiled by the author"), but the result, I fear, is a triumph of a manual not mental labour.
O brave new world, that has such gadgets in it: (above) demonstrating the Sunbeam Mixmaster at the Ideal Home Exhibition in 1934; (below) the vehicle which went in the garage of 1928's House of the Future, a car which incorporates aeroplane and boat.

For a man about to learn whether he was under a death sentence, Stephen Quake was remarkably cool. Asked how he felt about receiving a detailed breakdown of his chances of developing any one of 55 diseases he replied: "It's certainly been interesting."
How typical of a scientist. But those of us who are not scientists may have a different response. Analysis of your genome could reveal you were carrying a gene for Huntingdon's disease, a condition that kills people in their 20s and for which there is no treatment. Would there be benefit in that?
This is the fundamental difficulty with genetic risk profiling – the information may be valuable in some cases, allowing patients to protect themselves against increased risks (as Stephen Quake has done by starting treatment with statins to prevent heart disease). It may enable doctors to re-emphasise messages on diet, exercise and smoking for patients with a predisposition to obesity, diabetes, or lung cancer – environmental causes that have a far bigger impact than mere genes.
But in others, it may be harmful when there is nothing that can be done. In this case the only outcome is that the individual lives are under the shadow of the threatened disease.
How is the information to be shared? If I have an increased risk of diabetes, it will be of importance not only to me but also to those who share my genes – my children and other relatives. Should they be told?
There are other difficulties. Doctors find it hard enough explaining the risks of drugs or operations to patients in terms that are comprehensible. How will they cope with the huge quantities of data involved in a whole genome analysis?
In an opinion piece published with the paper in The Lancet, Professor Henry Greely of Stanford Law School estimates the average person might need information on 100 genetic risks uncovered in analysis of their genome. Even if only three minutes per disorder is allowed, the consultation would take more than five hours, not including the background research. How can this be provided and who will pay for it?
Whole genome sequencing is already occurring and will soon be used in medical practice. The genie cannot be put back in the bottle. But dealing with the new technology will present many challenges. It is time to start thinking how to deal with them now.

UPDATE: Full report here.
The report on the Magdalene Laundries is due to be published tomorrow and its terms of reference are extremely narrow: establish the extent of State involvement in these institutions. It had no powers to call witnesses and no powers to demand documents.
Chaired by Senator Martin McAleese, the committee consists of representatives from a number of government departments:
- Justice and Equality;
- Health;
- Environment, Community and Local Government;
- Education and Skills;
- Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation; and
- Children & Youth Affairs.
Its terms of reference cover the following institutions where Catholic orders of nuns kept slaves throughout the 20th century.
Sisters of Our Lady of Charity
High Park, Drumcondra, Dublin;
Sean McDermott St/Gloucester Street, Dublin;
Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy
No. 47 Forster Street, Galway;
St Patrick's Refuge, Crofton Road, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin;
Religious Sisters of Charity
Donnybrook, Dublin;
Peacock Lane, Cork;
Sisters of the Good Shepherd
Cork Road, Waterford;
New Ross, Wexford;
Pennywell Road, Limerick;
Sunday's Well, Cork
Unfortunately, for reasons undisclosed, the government failed to include another slave-laundry in its remit to the inter-departmental committee, namely the Stanhope Street laundry in Dublin. It appears that the Sisters of Charity got away with this because the laundry was officially designated as a training school even though its prisoners received no training and worked themselves to death in precisely the same way as those locked up in the other slave factories.
Even more unfortunately, the investigating committee is non-statutory. It has no powers to compel witnesses or even to demand records and is therefore at the mercy, so to speak, of the religious orders who have a vested interest in hiding the truth about the crimes their members committed against Irish women through the decades. In this regard, the orders have found the Data Protection Act to be a great protection.
Consequently, given the fight that the religious orders put up against the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, which did have statutory powers, it's hard to see how Martin McAleese will be able to produce a report with any meaning. If the government had been serious about the Magdalene scandal, it would have commissioned an inquiry with real teeth, but instead it ran scared when it saw what the Residential Institutions Redress Board cost in compensation — all of it picked up by the State and not by the perpetrators.
Given its initial statement on the matter, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that the government deliberately hobbled the committee in order to make sure that these women, whose lives were destroyed by slavery, will never have a claim against the State or against the religious orders who used and abused them.
On the other hand, Martin McAleese is a decent man and I suppose we can hope that under his chairmanship the committee will be able to expose what took place in these dreadful prisons, but that's unlikely since the terms of reference are so narrow.
We can hope, but we shouldn't hold our breath.
Interim Report
Government Statement on the Magdalene Laundries.
5 Responses to "Magdalene Laundries Report To Be Published"
I was struck by the similarity of the photo above of the laundry inmates being escorted by the Guards, and the inmates of another concentration camp being similarly "guarded"
Both are victims of a mad ideology, and their fate was merely a matter of degree. -
The first privately run prisons in Ireland.
For-profit prisons need prisoners.
I am convinced that people were paid to ensure a
steady supply of free labour. -
Women were committed to these institutions more often than not by their own families. Sometimes the notion of "The State" or "The nuns" doing this gives the common person an absolution of guilt that I don't think is deserved. These places existed and were used by people; government, religious, and regular people to incarcerate women, often with very little reason. A relative could vouch for them to have them released. How gut-wrenching to realize that your own family could release you, but often nobody came to do that.
There are things in our history as Irish people that cause me to look at current events with a different lens. A case in New York, where an abused teenager took on a Hasid community and won reminded me of our Catholic abuse cases. Magdalene laundries reminds me that the undervaluing of women in our present day lives (I'm thinking of rape sentences). Much has changed but not enough. -
Scotland has jailed abusive nuns.
It wont happen here because the populace is still
in cannibal mode. If one insists on inducting ones young
into "holy communion" one deserves what one gets.
Wake up Ireland! – culturally speaking you are a couple
of centuries behind enlightened Europe no matter
how modern you feel yourselves to be.
That is fine but should you persist in tolerating
primitive ritual things can only get worse. -
Is there any hope for us?
The convent in Limerick turned out Christening Gown's, handmade by the residents, they were beautiful. I met some of the retired incarcerated souls in the 1970's. Some told me they had no other home to go to now and "anyway, who would want us?" I have visited the mass grave, at Mt. St. Lawrence, of several orphans who died of food poisoning. In the inquest, in the early 1900's, when they died, the nun giving testimony was asked if any of the nuns died from the poisoned meat and she said "No".
Will Enda Kenny say The State Apologizes? I hope so.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.30 / 5.00 4,169 ViewsEDIT: To all billion of you upset about the volume of the character "voices" compared to the actual song, send your complaints to the original creator of the song. I simply animated to the MP3 I had, and couldn't alter it in any way. There's nothing I could've done to change it, sorry.
This was a little idea I came up with practically on a whim last Sunday. I finished the whole thing in a little under a week, and I think it turned out pretty well. Back in 2004, a dude by the name of Martin Hagwell, also known as "Märta" made a song out of the BGM from the "Forest Maze" level from Super Mario RPG for the SNES. Just recently, he remixed the song he created into a full-fledged professional sounding song, titled "Rawest Forest". After finding the song by chance last weekend thanks to a YouTube video, I took a listen, and got the idea for this movie. Mario RPG is one of my absolute favorite games of ALL time, and I know it inside and out. Those who know the game as well as I do will catch all of the references scattered throughout the animation. I also used this as a test to try out some new little tricks with animation. The good majority of the movie is frame-by-frame, and yes, I know the drawings're a little crappy (I don't have a tabley, unfortunately), but I enjoyed working on it throughout my last full week of High School (YAY), and it doubled as the final for my animation class, so that's even better! Anyway, hope you enjoy it for what it is. I certainly had a ball.
its still okay acually
Its good still but i am young to know what the wooden thing and cloud thing is but still like the pictures
I love it!
I know the music isn't yours, but the animation is great. Your style of animation is just more attractive in this video. Great job, and kudos to whoever made the song.
really really good awsome etc. but...
this was really really awesome! but can you put a slow motion button on it? its kinda annoying otherwise...

Introduction to the Third Dimension Summary Presentation Example - Section 4: Summary
Introduction to the Third Dimension
Lesson 1 of 5
Objective: SWBAT identify the shapes of cross-sections of three-dimensional objects.
Do Now
As students walk in the room, I hand them a page with an excerpt from the book Flatland by Edwin Abbott (Part I, Section 1: "Of the Nature of Flatland"). We read the passage out loud using the "popcorn" method. One student begins to read and then chooses the next student. While the students are reading, I hand them a penny. A. Square, the narrator of Flatland, uses a penny to describe how the "Flatlanders" see their world. I have the students view the penny as described in the passage. This activity helps students prepare for the activity they will complete later in the lesson.
Prior to this activity, I show the students the 2007 film version of Flatland in order to give context for the unit on the 3rd dimension.
At the beginning of the Mini-Lesson, students are shown pictures of various solids. I call on students to identify the solids. We discuss prisms and and then identify which of the solids are prisms.
In the activity, students use play dough to investigate the shapes of cross sections of solids. Before they start, I model the activity using a cylinder. I show the students how to mold their clay into a cylinder and how to use a ruler to make various slices. Then the students repeat what I did to show they understand the task.
Resources (2)
In the activity, students work in pairs to create models of solids in order to identify the cross-sections of the solids (G.GMD.4, MP4). Students use clay or play dough to form the shapes and a ruler to make slices. They record their results in a chart.
When students slice their shapes, it is helpful to have one student hold the shape while the other makes the slice. They may also have to reform their slice a bit depending on the type of clay used.
One way of enacting the activity is to assign each pair a different shape to investigate. At the end of the activity, students present their results, while the other students draw representations of the cross-sections on their charts.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
At the end of the lesson, students are shown examples of cross-sections and asked to identify the solids which have those cross-sections (G.GMD.4). Students discuss their answers with a partner. We then have a class discussion. There are multiple answers for the second set of cross-sections. I call on different students to give their answers and justify their responses (MP3).

Hi Profijet
Sorry there is no decent broker out there with 1pip spread on EURCHF, and stay away from Sigma. I guess this EA is ISEA or the grail from MQL4 website ... This would indeed be a great EA if you could find a honest broker with 1 pip spread on EURCHF, no slippage and no requotes Looked myself a few months ago ... no luck, maybe someone else has found one Good luck in your search Rob lots of little bit's make a one big bit |

Yes it is ISEA scalper :) and it has fantastic results. Unfortunatelly I think this EA is just to acquire new clients for Sigmatrader :(

LOL! - Don't even think about it! - NO Broker maintains a fixed 1 pip spread. Even the best ECN's fluctuate as the banks Bid/Ask shift. Good call Robert - The ISEA Demo dream machine LIVES!! - Realworld slippage will KILL YOU trading scalpers.

Hi Profijet,
I've tried this EA on loads of brokers, could not get one to work as it does on the Sigmaforex demo account :-( Sorry ..... it is a shame. The great thing is though run it on SigmaForex demo for a week and dream it's a live account ... multi millionaire !! The Sigmaforex demo feed is totally manipulated, it's just totally rubbish feed. Your right .. think this EA / sigma feed was created to get clients ... cheers Rob lots of little bit's make a one big bit |

Going for 5 pips GREATLY increases the chance of hitting a StopLoss and it means that you'll have to widen stops just to hang around long enough to get to 5. EURCHF/EURGBP only has a 50-60 pip daily range. so trying for 5 (a 10% move) is VERY risky for this pair. 1 or 2 pips can be hit just by the market bounces of normal trading - outside of that you're playing with FIRE!!

I believe that there were two Halseys that arrived in Grayson County, Virginia somewhere after 1780. They were William and Moses Halsey. William was born in Columbia, NJ, 1760, and was a Revolutionary War Soldier. William enlisted in 5/9/1778 and joined on 6/5/1778 at Mt. Holly, NJ. William served under Capt Emily, was commanded by Gen. Dayton; Served at the Battles of Brandywine, Bunker Hill; Ash Swamp; and Cowpens. He was one of General Washington's body gaurds at Morristown, NJ for 3 years. He returned to Columbia, NJ ca 1782 and was married by Rev. Joseph Gravies at the Presbyterian Chruch. Moses, born 1761 on Long Island, NY, and William were related through their common great-great-grandfather Thomas Halsey Jr. from Southampton, Long Island, NY. Both are descendants of Thomas Halsey I who came to America in 1633.
Below is the best information I have been able to put together concerning the Halsey families of Grayson County. Any corrections, additions, or deletions are welcomed. This is a work in progress....I. MOSES HALSEY: II. WILLIAM HALSEY: III. CENSUS INFORMATION:

International News Canada: Montreal Hospital Says No HIV Cases Yet From HIV-Positive DocMarch 30, 2004 Ste-Justine Hospital said Monday that no affected patients
have tested positive for HIV in tests conducted after the
hospital learned a surgeon who operated on 2,600 children there
in 1990-2003 was HIV-infected. The surgeon died in August. Blood
samples from 2,175 patients were tested at the hospital or at
private laboratories.
Adapted from:Hospital officials said Ste-Justine reached 85 percent of the surgeon's patients by registered mail or telephone after it discovered her HIV status in January. Although the risk of infection was very low, according to a hospital statement, "the hospital wanted to be sure, beyond any doubt, and to reassure the parents and children that no patient had been infected." Dr. Lucie Poitras, director of professional services, said the remaining 15 percent of patients fell into one of two main categories: people who did not want to be tested and people with whom the hospital had lost touch. She added that an 85 percent response rate is "quite exceptional." In its statement, the hospital apologized to the families and patients who had been upset by the discovery of the surgeon's condition. More than 13,000 calls deluged the hospital's two call centers when the story went public in mid-January.

Why the Katy Perry Movie Is a Classic
Paramount Pictures |
[Editor's Note: Fuck Guilty Pleasures celebrates the over-produced, commercial, artless, lowbrow music that we believe is genuinely worthwhile. Like, among the best music ever.]
Ah, July 2012. A time when we thought it was still slightly possible that Mitt Romney would be our next president.
But something equally unlikely happened that month: The Katy Perry hagiography, Katy Perry: Part of Me, came out, and it was amazing. No seriously, hear us out.
It chronicled her tumultuous divorce from comedian Russell Brand, and her biggest tour to date. Sounds like the kind of thing that nobody but teeny-bopping Perry fans and creepy old guys would be interested in, right?

Indeed, everyone expected it to be a cheeseball, glitter-soaked, self-serving, cinematic snooze, and indeed The Detroit News called it an "electronic press kit" while Slate labeled it "phony and staged."
But believe it or not, they were among the outliers; the film overall got pretty good reviews from critics, and Huffington Post called it the best pop music documentary of the 3-D era. It was even a box office success, and is the 8th highest-grossing documentary of all time.
Yes, there were moments that were clearly for her, um, Katy Kats. (Let us never say those words again). Of course Part of Me makes Perry look good, after all, she produced it.
But the documentary really succeeds in making her likeable, which is not as easy as it sounds. Because, if the pop songstress is really faking her amicable personality here, then she is the best actor we've ever seen.
As for the story itself, it's fascinating, relatable, captivating even. The movie follows Perry as a child growing up in Santa Barbara as the daughter of pentecostal preachers and then moving to L.A. as a teen to try to make it in music. There are interviews with Perry's sister and brother, who explain how it took years and a lot of financial suffering before Perry broke out with "I Kissed a Girl."
Then the film shifts to present times, as she lives what appears to be a fantasy while on her world tour. At the same time, however, she's going through great struggle attempting to maintain her marriage with Brand.
The most moving moment is when Perry is weeping over their break-up backstage at her biggest concert in Brazil. Her manager asks if she wants to postpone the performance but, although horribly depressed, she decides the show much go on. She puts on her candy cane dress and mounts a moving platform up to the stage. While performing, Perry breaks out in tears as her fans scream, "Katy, we love you!" in Portuguese.
The fan aspect is important to the film: It opens with a YouTube clip of a 22-year-old girl covering "The One That Got Away" and transitions to video blogs of young fans explaining why Perry inspires them. There's also a touching meet and greet between Perry and a boy from the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Paramount Pictures |
Visually, it's well-crafted. There's slo-mo in the right places, and interviews and candid backstage shots break up any concert-footage monotony. There are also cartoon-ish sound effects -- like Superman swooshes and Nickelodean-esque splatter noises -- which somehow work.
Part of Me doesn't present Perry as flawless. We see her with and without makeup, dancing onstage in a dress that looks like an ice cream sundae and crying her eyes out about Russell Brand. Who knows what was left on the cutting room floor, but one suspects we got the honest stuff.
In the end, Part of Me succeeds because you don't have to be a Katy Perry fan to enjoy it. You may become one by the end, but to the film's credit, you won't feel manipulated.

So, I went shopping today to get an outfit for tonight's special 20th anniversary dinner with King. The shirt I bought had cap sleeves, but a really cool neckline. Slimming even.
I cannot wear short sleeves. So, thinking outside the box, I bought a second shirt and made sleeves from the second shirt.
Turned out beautifully. Now, on to dinner.

Sweet Dreams
It's happened. I can barely bring myself to type it for fear of jinxing myself. But the baby has STTN. Maybe the abbreviation won't break the spell.
Seasonal Meals & Precious Playtime
I'm back at work over 3 months and feel like I'm just getting my head around it all now. We are in a routine that works (most of the time!) and most importantly, Ellen is well settled with her child-minder. It's very tough being away from her during the day but it makes me treasure the time I have with her in the evening.
Treat Yourself
For me, a mist of sticky syrupy fake tan does the job. My face could do with sleeping for a hundred years and I'm thinking of getting my fringe back just to hide the trenches in my forehead. But hose me down at 7pm and by 7am I'm looking at my love handles, marvelling at how much nicer they look when they're the colour of chocolate.
Returning to Work
So it's 8.30pm on day 3 of my first week back at work. The best day so far.
Pregnancy Dietary Checklist
The foods and drinks that you choose during pregnancy have long lasting effects on your baby's health. Here are the things to check that you are including/avoiding in your diet during pregnancy.
Top tips for fussy toddlers
What if your toddler suddenly starts being fussy and refuses the foods you give them? Well don't stress, it is perfectly normal for toddlers to go through their 'fussy eating phase' at some stage. Mealtimes during these times can become a bit of a nightmare for you and your toddler, with lots of tantrums and frustration. Fortunately, most toddlers grow out of their fussy eating phase and normal mealtimes are eventually restored!
What is weaning & how to get started
Some simple advice on why weaning is important and how to get started with your weaning journey.
Simple Swaps for Pregnancy
Swap certain foods for others that have a higher nutritional content.
Breastfeeding – What you should know before you begin
One of the best decisions you can make during the first 1000 days is to choose to breastfeed your baby. This article has lots of information about breastfeeding you may not know.
Oily fish: Get your Omega-3 and Vitamin D
There are lots of reasons and benefits for including oily fish as part of a healthy balanced diet.

You're Pregnant!
Congratulations! You are setting out on the first steps of a very exciting road, and no doubt looking forward to meeting your baby at the end of these 40 weeks of pregnancy.
The Importance of Breastfeeding
In the first 1000 days, breastfeeding reduces your child's chances of being obese.
Healthy Weight before Pregnancy
For lots of reasons, it is a good idea to reach a healthy, ideal weight before you become pregnant — for both you and baby.
How to get enough Iron into your toddler's diet
Iron plays a vital role in healthy brain development — that's right ensuring your toddler gets just 8mg a day of Iron (RDA for toddlers) could help them develop to their full potential as teenagers and adults.
Freezing and Storing Weaning Foods
Remember in the First 1000 days, it's important to introduce a variety of healthy foods to your baby's weaning diet as this will improve their eating habits later in life.
Karen: My Take on Motherhood
So babies get a lot of bad press. In fact, like celebrities, babies should hire publicists to counter all the negative PR they receive. The sleepless nights, the night feeds, the teething, the winding, the colic…Don't mention the colic! It's a minefield.
So the baby has moved out. Packed up his little grow bag, his favourite teddy and shuffled off without a backwards glance….
How to Roast A Pumpkin – Without Having To Peel It!
Love pumpkin BUT hate peeling and chopping it? This is for you!
Chicken & Sweetcorn Risotto
This dish suitable for weaning (& for all the family!) – it's a great versatile dish you can add different veg to. The chicken gives it a nice boost of protein and iron. Remember your baby will only be taking very small amounts at the stage but the most important thing is that you're exposing them to a variety of tastes early on and that you progress with the consistencies of dishes as baby gets older.
Seared Lamb Fillet with Mediterranean Butter Bean Stew

What's the difference between a TL, a ML-TL and a TQWT?
I see how TLs work, but how do they differ from ML-TLs and TQWTs?
The ML-TL looks like a classical BR box, what's more in it? And in terms of sound? |

Transmission Line speakers are generally assumed to be using quarter-wavelength standing waves inside the enclosure to produce the bass emanating from the port so they are also referred to as Quarter Wave tubes. ML-TL resembles a bass reflex but is utilizing these standing waves to load the port. A classic TL may appear to be a long pipe with the driver at one end and the other end open. Usually some poly-fil to help damp the driver. A ML-TL may be a box with the driver mounted on the front baffle near the top of the box and the port at the bottom of the box very much like a BR but calculated to use a quarter-wave. This enclosure may use damping material. The TQWT acts as a cross between a horn and a TL. By tapering the pipe the resonances will spread over a wide range of frequencies theortically producing smoother response. The top of the pipe is usually filled with damping material. The results you get will vary depending on the driver used and how well the pipe has been designed. The rest is personal preference. Some think TQWT are honky like some horns but I've heard some very good ones.

Nice response, I think that you have summed it up very well. But I think that you missed one point.
If you think about it, a 30 Hz TQWT will be much longer then a 30 Hz straight TL. The TQWT's lowest standing quarter wave is at a frequency that is higher then the length would indicate if you used the equation for a straight TL. f = c/4L By about the 5th or 6th quarter wavelength standing wave, the equation above becomes more accurate for the TQWT. So the first quarter wavelength mode is higher in frequency then would be expected for a straight TL and each of the following modes are still higher in frequency but not by as much until they converge with the TL frequencies at about the 6th mode. Boy that was a real babble. Maybe an example will help. I just made this up for demonstration purposes. Suppose we had a TL and TQWT both with a length of 112 inches. The frequencies might look like the following table. Mode__Straight TL __TQWT (SL>S0) 1/4_____30 Hz______80 Hz 3/4_____90 Hz_____130 Hz 5/4____150 Hz_____175 Hz 7/4____210 Hz_____220 Hz 9/4____270 Hz_____275 Hz 11/4___330 Hz_____330 Hz The closer spacing of the first three modes in the TQWT causes the peaks to overlap a little and provide a summed bass SPL response that is sligthly higher then would have been achieved with the straight TL. Again the bass will not go as low for this sample TQWT. The opposite trend will happen if you use a tapered TL (SL<S0). Adding a port, or mass loading, to a quarter wavelength enclosure allows the length to be shortened for the same fundamental standing wave. This is like adding a lump of clay to the end of a ruler clamped to the counter in your kitchen. When the lump of clay is added, and the length is unchanged, the ruler will vibrate at a lower frequency. The type of vibration (displaced shape) remains the same but the frequency is reduced. I think I just confused myself. I hope that helps, |

Just one more input. If you look at Attachment C to my TL alignment table document, you will see a study showing the response of the tapered, straight, and expanding TL other wise known as the TQWT. I think that the three plots show better what I was stuggling to describe. Sometimes pictures speak much clearer then words.

Thank you both for answears.
Martin: so, adding a port lowers the Fp (or keeps it the same with a smaller box). Does it have any disadvantage? |

Adding a port to a TL, producing a ML TL design, allows you to shorten the line length which results in a more compact enclosure for the same tuning frequency. This is a real advantage IMO, I am tired of making big enclosures.

a little OT
Would adding a little bracing in an ML TL disrupt the standing wave used to load the port? I find my ML TLs are rock solid (I used 3/4"mdf and 5/8" Baltic Birch laminate) and are fine without bracing but a friend is interested in a pair, he does not want them built as thick as mine. I was thinking to use a few dowels to reduce the resonances large panels may create.
P.S. Thanks for all your help so far mr.King. The congestion I was trying to solve earlier(if you remember) has been diminishing with further driver break in and the use of felt on the inside of the basket legs. I am really impressed with the ML TL design.
Fighting the program since 1976. |

Dowels have worked fine for me. Any distruption has to be less than the adverse effect of a vibrating enclosure panel.

Augspurger showed that the "restricted terminus" -- his terminology for an ML -- also improves the low-pass function of the line, meaning less ripple with the same damping or the same ripple with less damping and more terminus output.

There Are Things Kanye West and Friends Dislike
Sadly the new G.O.O.D. Music track doesn't just list them back-to-back-to-back.
Sadly, "I Don't Like" is not a catalogue of items and practices Kanye West and his rapping besties disfavor. But it is a new song that may wind up on the G.O.O.D. Music Avengers-style crew album. Here you'll learn: Kanye enjoyed some vegetarian fare with brown rice; a 16-year-old Chicago rapper named Chief Keef (the originator of "I Don't Like" — this one's a remix) is unafraid to spit alongside the Louis Vuitton don and his noteworthy pals; Kanye does not like when you smile at his face; Big Sean is apparently worthy of a momentary beat change-up, à la Kanye on "Mercy," despite the lack of much to say; Kanye will never hit a woman, never in his LIFE (dude, do you want an award, or ... ?). Anyway, hard beat. Hard enough to render the in-and-out verses as afterthoughts, more or less. Have fun.

my armature is old and i changed it but at the top of my screen it hasnt updated?!?! Help me!!
Maybe there is a lil delay, just wait a bit and check it later on.You could also try to clean up your browsers cache (google how to do it, depending on the browser you use).If you have that problem for a while (lets say a day or two) contact an admin (ferret would be a good choice), that could be done by a post on his page, or by eMail (email@example.com), equal which way, give him a good description of your problem.Btw, i now see one of the ninja armatars, so the problem might be solved^^
There is some delay when changing your armatar indeed, just like Unleashed said/explained. I think the problem is solved now and you should be fine. If it hasn't changed still, please follow the instructions given to clear your cache and if that doesn't help, contact Ferret, ok? =)I'll leave the thread open for now, but if your problem is solved, let us know and we'll lock it.

You can make a delicious cherry-flavored whipped cream with them.Cherry pits, while inedible and poisonous, are still covered in plenty of useful cherry chunks and juice. Instead of throwing them out, Stella Sparks at Serious Eats recommends you put that cherry goodness to use. Take your leftover cherry pits and toss them in a cup of cream. Stick the cup in the fridge overnight, then strain the cream into a bowl with a little sugar, and whip it up.

Oh Gizmo...
Mike likes to joke that our Kitty's spend the day driving around in little cars running little errands...I think that Gizmo is more of a joy rider! so I did this little illustration. For a while I was thinking of doing a childrens book based on Gizmo and Gizmo's adventures, but for now this will do. It reminds me a little of the Richard Scarry aimals that I used to love as a kid too!

Ride over the icy terrain collecting bubbles while avoiding various hazzards.
The push bike can only advance, you can not back pedal so remembering the best route is part of the challenge.
You can influence your altitude over thermals with the up and down arrow keys.
Highscores are in order of the most bubbles collected, with the least deaths, in the shortest time.
Jump is 'Up arrow' OR 'Spacebar'.
The next ice age has arrived and the world as we know it has peacefully frozen in time, but to one naked survivor it's cold and lonely as hell!
Icycle is a contemporary take on a RETRO style bike game which challenges your skill and memory. Trial and error will pave the way but remembering the path might prove harder than you expect. Collect as many bubbles as possible but be prepared for plenty of amusing fatalities along the way.
If only dying was this much fun in life!

Sleep is for sheep: More night photography!
July 3, 2008 | Category: Nocturnal Photography, Photography
I've had some pretty heavy bags under my eyes for the past few days as a result of my late night habit of staying out until 3am doing night photography. Last night a buddy and I drove up to Virginia City, NV—a preserved 1800s mining town— and shot an old church.
On Monday night I joined a small group of friends for some late night shooting at Lake Tahoe. Our original plan was to try and locate Banzai Rock (in which we failed miserably), so we decided to shoot near sand harbor instead.
The 180 degree panorama on the left is the result of five photos stitched vertically. My D300 was set to ISO 3200 to pull off 30 sec exposures at f/2.8. The lens was a Tokina 11-16mm 2.8.
The very bright ball of light rising above the trees, on the left is Jupiter.
The final photo (below) is yet another star streak photo over Tahoe, taken at the same time as the panorama. I stacked for an hour using 30 second exposures with the 10.5mm fisheye (which I am on the verge of using too much) at f/2.8. The foreground exposure was taken in RAW for 10 mins at f4 (for more depth of field) with noise reduction turned on. The exposures were later combined in Photoshop. Later on, I may post a rectalinear corrected version (meaning the fisheye effect is removed using software) just for fun. The photo isn't finished, if you look closely you can see plane streaks and I'm not too sure about the color.
Well, thats all for now, comments welcome…

Randy Jones
on July 9th, 20082Excellent images, very creative.
on July 12th, 20083I'm not a big fan of curved straight lines (a-la fish-eye), but combined with the curved star-trails they look fine! I like the last image very much, congrats!
on September 12th, 20084that vertical shot is rad.
on September 20th, 20085Yoy take some really great photos. I will return often to check out your work. Keep up the good work.
on November 11th, 20086Will an interval timer shooting mode help if there is no cable release available for star trails photography?
Dan Newton
on November 11th, 20087Yes, you can use your camera's interval mode (if it has one). I've done it in a pinch, but a remote release or remote invervalometer is easier.
on June 2nd, 20098O man, i just got back to new zealand from tahoe, its the perfect spot for taking pics, u seriously did an amazing job with these!!! 😀
on August 12th, 20099Hey, just stumbled across this site – really great stuff. I'm curious about "stacking" those 30 sec exposures. Does the D300 have a built in intervalometer? It sounds like you're using an external intervalometer – what one do you use? For taking 10 min. exposures, I've had issues with my D80 gettting severe purple corners anywhere over about a minute. Is this true with the D200?
Cheers -
Leanne Morrison

Shock and Awed
For the small size, these babies are awesome. After installing these I will always only recomend 3-way speakers.
Pros: Easy to install, sound fantastic!! And they look great!
Cons: Wish the package came with a spacer for my rear doors, not 6x9 spacers for my front doors. Since I had to custom fit them in the 5-1/4 holes that the truck was suppose to have.

by Dividend Growth Investor | November 15, 2013 1:00 am
Dividend growth investing[1] is a strategy that focuses on companies which regularly raise dividends. The strategy focuses on growth in dividends over a longer period of time that usually exceeds ten years[2]. The typical dividend growth stock does not yield a lot today, but can generate very high yields on cost[3], that will definitely trump even some of the highest yielding stocks today.
The important tool that makes dividend growth investing is growth in earnings per share. Growth in earnings per share enables companies to increase dividends over time in a sustainable matter. A company that grows dividends for a period of time without corresponding earnings growth will eventually run out of room[4] to boost distributions. I call these dividend stocks on autopilot, and try to avoid them whenever possible. I typically look for the annual rates of increase in dividends and earnings per share to be similar within a certain range.
As a result, dividend growth investors focus on the catalysts that can generate a higher net income for the corporations whose stock they are purchasing. Companies can earn more by selling more, increasing prices, streamlining operations, expanding in new markets, selling new products or acquiring and merging with other companies. Mergers and acquisitions can only lead to higher earnings per share if they result in synergies. We want growth in earnings per share after all, not just a growth in overall net income.
There is not a one size fits all approach, which is why some time needs to be spent learning about the company and determining where the growth will come from. For many consumer staples such as Coca-Cola (KO[5]) or Procter & Gamble (PG[6]), future growth will be positively correlated with the expansion in the number of middle class consumers in emerging markets[7] of Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe.
Strong pricing power of companies like Coca-Cola and Phillip Morris (PM[8]) can also allow them to pass on cost increases to consumers, while increasing their profits. For other companies such as 3M (MMM[9]), future growth could arise from a culture that focuses on innovation and bringing new products to market in order to generate growth.
Imagine a company which yields 2.50% today, but can grow earnings and distributions by 10%/year. The stock trades at $100 today, earns $5/share and pays a $2.50 dividend. The stock will probably yield around 2% – 3% over the course of an year, and would be usually ignored by investors who simply look at current yields. In approximately 14-15 years however, this company would likely still yield somewhere between 2% – 3%.
However, the stock would be earning close to $20/share and probably paying about $10/share in annual dividends. It would not be unreasonable to assume that the stock could be valued at $400/share. The investor, who had the vision to acquire this stock when it traded at $100/share, is now generating an yield on cost of 10%. If they reinvested dividends along the way, they would likely be earnings much more in dividend income. The rising dividend income also provides protection against inflation over time.
A few important things to note are related to entry price, diversification, and dividend reinvestment.
Having a strategy that provides a maximum entry price to pay[10] for a stock helps in being a disciplined investor, who avoids getting carried away. I try to never pay more than 20 times earnings for a stock. At the end of the day, if you overpay by purchasing a company like Coca-Cola or Wal-Mart (WMT[11]) at 30 times earnings, you might end up regretting the investment for a long time. You would likely receive a small yield as well. If you had the fortitude of selecting a great company with solid fundamentals and a rising earnings tide, it would eventually "bail you" out, as earnings growth would compress the P/E ratio. This would make the stock compelling again.
However, if for some reason the company stops growing, it might be dead money for a long period of time. Hopefully some of your other investments deliver better returns if that were the case.
This leads me to the next point on diversification[12]. Dividend growth investors need to absolutely build a portfolio consisting of at least 30 individual securities, which come from as many industries that make sense. Investors who own less than 30 positions, and are heavily focused on a sector or two are just asking for trouble. A diversified portfolio of over 30 stocks provides a fail-safe mechanism to protect the portfolio income against a few bad apples. It can also protect investors against a wave of dividend cuts in a given sector. Investors in the financial sector experienced dividend cuts and eliminations across the board during the 2007 – 2009 financial crisis. Not every company in the financial sector cut dividends however, and the carnage was mostly focused there.
The good part about the strategy is that investors receive cash in their brokerage accounts from their dividend paying stocks. This allows them to have the necessary resources available for opportunities present during recessions for example. Not all sectors are attractive to invest in at all times[13]. This is why building your exposure at the most attractive stocks across a variety of sectors over time is an effective way to deploy dividends received and new capital put to work.

Hi Voronich ,
In the OP, given x is the epoch equivalent of the directorys' timestamp and y is the value on which the decision to backup (or not) is made - as determined by applying the function to the epoch. Is that of any help ?
A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

Jan. 24, 2012
BOSTON — On Tuesday, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum released the final 45 hours of White House recordings from the end of the president's life. The tapes, which have been digitized and can be downloaded in full, cover topics including the war in Vietnam, relations with the Soviet Union ... and Kennedy's never-to-be-realized re-election campaign. WGBH News' Jordan Weinstein talked to JFK Library declassification archivist Maura Porter about the historical significance.
A few excerpts from the recordings:
On Nov. 12, 1963, the president meets with a team of political advisors for several hours to discuss details of the 1964 convention and the issues that might define the upcoming campaign.
Undersecretary of state George Ball tells Kennedy, "We don't want to be bogged down in Southeast Asia forever."
In the final seconds of taping, on Nov. 20, Kennedy talks about his plans for after he returns from Dallas.

I've heard of submalar/malar combo implants, but I'm inquiring about a tear trough (suborbital) malar combination implant as a way to economically and simultaneously augment the hollow area under the eyes as well as the top of the cheeks. The only miracle implant I've heard of to address these needs is an implant by Dr. Terino, but I am from the NJ/NYC area. Is there an implant such as this that exists and is used by doctors in my area? Thank you.
