Theory/Object level/Field: we assume a theory here instead of the truth of the theory. Problem: the theory requires mathematical entities.
Physics/Theory/Language/Ontology/Field: Thesis: in the typical physical language, sentences are essential for the description of observations that contain mathematical entities. Then a theory without mathematical entities does not allow any inference about distances and masses. - Solution: new (comparative) predicates: For example, the distance between x and y is r-times the distance between z and w, etc. - For example, the velocity of y relative to y multiplied by the time difference between z and w is r-times spatial distance between u and v (Definition acceleration without numbers). - r: is a rational number. - This distinguishes the predicates in the family - NominalismVs: these are too many predicates.
Theory/Truth/Field: it is the assertion that the axioms of the theory are true of their objects at certain points of time (or at all times) - not the theory itself. - Variables: We leave it out here very often, but they must be understood as implicitly existing. - Instead of "pain has that and that causal role" we must say: "For every t and every c (organism) of type S to t, pain has that and that causal role in c to t".
Ideal Theory/Quine/Field: (Quine 1960, 23-4): Suppose there is an ideal theory (in the future) that could be considered as completely true: - Problem: this ideal theory could not correct the truth values of our actual (present) individual sentences. - reason: there is no general sense in which one can equate a single sentence of a theory with a single sentence of another theory. - Quine/(s): there is no inter-theoretical translatability. - Thus there is no Truth-predicate for single sentences of a theory - Falsehood is distributed to the whole theory. - There is no fact that distributes falsehood to single sentences. - FieldVsQuine: therefore the sentences are not "intertheoretically meaningless". - Solution/Field: "partial denotation": Newton's mass partially denoted. - FieldVsKuhn/FieldVsIncommensurability: denotational refinement: (later only partial quantity) means no incommensurability.

"Honestly I'm just going day to day right now. I had a great talk with (Moose coach) Scotty Arniel and every day I'm on the ice is just another day to get my legs going and feel good and have fun.
"As long as I'm here, there are young guys I think I can help and make better and it's just all about being a good leader and being a good guy in the dressing room. That's all I've ever tried to do my whole career."
-Mathieu Schneider of the Manitoba Moose. More on Schneider from Tim Campbell of the Winnipeg Free Press.

Erbium Laser on Recently Broken Out Skin.
My derm had me wait several years until my acne calmed down before even considering treating some of my old scars. Now that my skin has cleared up since Accutane/Aldactone I had one Erbium treatment last month but I randomly broke out this week with some small superficial blemishes, not like the cystic acne before. Could I still go for my second Erbium session with these mild breakouts?
Doctor Answers 1
Erbium Laser on Recently Broken Out Skin.
Thanks for your query. Breakouts is a known side effect of laser. You should avoid another laser sessions or if you are considering it then go after a coverage of topical anti acne and just before the procedure moisturize your skin well and keep yourself hydrated. Hope it helps.All The Best

Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.пїЅ Code: http://shareflare.net/download/88677.810f64fc3e5264c090f105d758af/13.Things.That.Dont.Make.Sense.Unabridged.Audiobook.part1.rar.html http://shareflare.net/download/54342.58cac339627b674d0355d3965dce/13.Things.That.Dont.Make.Sense.Unabridged.Audiobook.part2.rar.html http://shareflare.net/download/69652.6c2540f85885ad50ba2d264b13b5/13.Things.That.Dont.Make.Sense.Unabridged.Audiobook.part3.rar.html http://shareflare.net/download/23113.2ba53fa1d220a7c97b6deb17fa06/13.Things.That.Dont.Make.Sense.Unabridged.Audiobook.part4.rar.html http://shareflare.net/download/94910.9f0f06db19ea4fd212e5bcbb7f55/13.Things.That.Dont.Make.Sense.Unabridged.Audiobook.part5.rar.html

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 20, 1997, New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitung □ Thursday, March 20, 1997 □ 3 Father's role much more than just loving wife DEAR ABBY: I was appalled when I saw in your column that you had trotted out an outdated, sexist, factually inaccurate and socially dangerous quote: "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother " Surely you are aware of the research which now establishes that fathers have unique and important contributions to make to the healthy development of their children. Fathers (not race, not income and not mothers) are the key ingredient in reducing youth violence (crime and gangs), drug abuse, promiscuity, eating disorders and suicides. Fathers have a greater effect than mothers in producing empathy, a sense of humor, academic achievement and more. My son's mother has assaulted me, harassed me, stalked me, vandalized my property, stolen from me, made false allegations against me and more. I don't love her. But I do something far more important. During most of my son's waking moments since he was 8 months old, the hands he has seen holding him and helping him, the voice he has heard teaching him and loving him, the face he has seen smiling at him and encouraging him have been mine! My son's mother is not insane and not that rare. She has simply been encouraged by the media to blame a man for everything that makes her unhappy and to think of fathers as second-class parents. You can sign me FIRST-CLASS PARENT DEAR PARENT: Considering the fact that your ex-wife suffers from the emotional instability (lf Police Beat not insanity) which you have described, your son Is indeed fortunate to have such a committed father. However, there are far more absent fathers in single-parent families than, mothers. DEAR ABBY: Hugo Borreson wrote: "Martin Luther King had to go to India to learn the principles of non-violence because they were neither understood nor practiced in the United States." Abby, Dr. King did not have to go to India to learn the principles of non-violence! In his book, "Stride Toward Freedom" (New York, Harper and Brothers, 1958), he wrote: "One Sunday afternoon, I traveled to Philadelphia to hear a sermon by Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University. He was there to preach for the Fellowship House of Philadelphia. "Dr. Johnson had just returned from a trip to India, and, to my great interest, he spoke of the life and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. "His message was so profound and electrifying that I left the meeting and bought a half-dozen books on Gandhi's life and works..." I just wanted to set the record straight. Abby. ARTHUR H. PRINCE, PH D. MEMPHIS DEAR DR. PRINCE: I am (as always) profoundly grateful for your consistently accurate corrections and additions to my column since its inception. However, I, too, want to keep the record straight. According to "A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Teachings of Martin Luther King Jr." (edited by James M. Washington), Dr. King and Ms wife did travel to India in 1960 or 1961, and he made reference to the trip in a speech within months of his return. DEAR ABBY: I have a very dear, older friend who has one bad habit No matter what the situation, she always asks me the price of everything I buy. She demands to know the cost of any improvements I make to my home. It seems she puts a price tag on everything. A member of her family is quite wealthy, and she never hesitates to tell everyone what they spend on everything. I don't have a lot of money and what I do with it, I think, is my personal business. I have tried the old retort, "Why would you be interested?" but it doesn't seem to work. I don't want to be rude, btu can you give me a good comeback that might squelch this nasty habit? MIFFED IN MECHANICSVILLE, VA. DEAR MIFFED: What's wrong with this direct response: "That's a very personal question that I prefer not to answer." Smile when yon say it, and if you repeat It often enough, let's hope she'll get the message and quit asking.

A/N: Tomizu is my name for fem!Shisui.
"You're going to make us late for the start of the festival, Tomizu."
Itachi stands in the doorway, watching his best friend apply her make-up.
"I've never been late in my life actually, Itachi."
He decides not to dignify that with a response and moves to stand behind her. Their eyes meet in the mirror and he sees the subtle request in hers.
"You want me to tie your obi for you again."
She gives him a pleading look.
"You know that it takes me hours..."
He sighs but he's already started doing it, moving the cloth in a pattern that he could do in his sleep by now. Tomizu teases him that he already has, saying that she woke up once and found him standing over her, a perfectly tied obi in his hands. He doesn't believe her claim as he knows perfectly well that he doesn't sleepwalk. It tends to be rather fatal for shinobi after all.
"You only keep me around to do this, don't you?" he asks dryily.
She grins unrepentantly.
"I knew they called you a genius for a reason."
And all of a sudden, he's done and she's finished with her make-up. She stands up and turns around to face him.
"So how do I look?"
He gives her a brief glance.
"Acceptable," he allows.
She pouts.
"I'm hurt. Surely with all this time and effort, I deserve more than that."
"...You're acting as if I were your boyfriend."
She gives him a long look before sighing.
"You might be more than that one day."
He thinks he might have gaped at her for a split-second before he realises what she's talking about.
"That is only an idea at the moment."
She looks like she's going to disagree but then Sasuke bursts in, demanding to know why they're taking so long, he wants to go to the festival already and Itachi completely forgets the subject.
Inspired by wondering about how genderbending one or even both of them would alter the dynamics of their relationship. If you're wondering what she's referring to, let's just say the elders like the idea of little prodigy babies even if they don't.
Tomizu's name comes from the alternate reading of the two kanji that make up still/stagnant water which is one meaning of Shisui.

"Hi Parents , I like to highly recommend this school, my twin kids studying here has something new to talk everyday, GIIS have well lubed and tested curriculum (CBSE) with activities which is fun filled for kids. When I first visited them in Nov-2012 they were in construction mode, after referring the web on them and feedback from other global school, even tho it was far from existing school , I took the risk of sending my twin Girl kids to this very new school at Bangalore. I promise you my gut decision has paid out very well. I am Happy about their transport which was more impt on Pick-up-drop points . Principle Ramesh Mudgal is very polite and friendly guy to interact with , they have both Kannada and Hindi as Second Language. My daughters have taken Kannada as second language( Well it is always best to teach one's mother tongue first , then you can learn any language you like) they have a friendly Kannada teacher luckily who is also a writer himself. During joining I had requested to split-ted them to different sections(of 1st Grade) to make them independent. Both the class teachers are Good and keeps the class happy. Overall I can say GIIS is Outstanding to me till date. "

"Hi Shardul ? Thank you for your input after recent parents meeting with principal. I understand that you are actually referring to the comments posted in above ?recommendations? section. Yes, you are right, those comments doesn't represent the true picture of current situation as school is set to open in near future. However, I figured out that, the when web site created, the creator must have copied those comments from other GIIS school which is successfully running and has created success record. I ignored that content as marketing strategy, however those are the comments written to generate curiosity in parents to bring them for school visit. Having said that, my observations and recommendations in my previous column came from the research I did using Internet, YouTube GIIS videos and my interaction with other parents who is already sending their kids to GIIS in different parts of the world. Since the school staff is not hired yet, I was very particular about their hiring process. In my one on one interaction with Mr.Mudgal, he was clear and confident about his hiring process and also mentioned that the hired staff would go through 80 hour training course with him. I was very much satisfied as I noticed the passion and confidence in his response. Well, once the school is open, we can always revisit our decision and check how far school stood by its words. Regarding the transportation, I was concerned about connecting points rather than security, as I took it for granted that ?safety? is school?s ultimate priority along with education. I hope they will continue to maintain safety standards on par with any other reputed in school in Bangalore area. Perhaps, they might lease or rent the transportation buses for the first year, I am Okay with it as long as safety measures are met. We couldn?t attend the latest principal-parents interaction meeting, but we receive updated thorough other channels. We request management to arrange interaction section before commencing the school and update us with school bus routes and their future plans. My honest feeling is, So far, things are going on right direct direction. Best wishes to other parents and kids. Also wish that GIIS will establish its mark in Bangalore with the hope that the management will not turn down on us and will be as successful as it in other parts of the world. Good Luck everybody.

On Passwords and Fearlessness and the Future
Today, Wall Street Journal technology columnist Christopher Mims boldly declared that the password is irrelevant and dying. How boldly, you probably weren't asking yourself? Well, so boldly that he posted his twitter password in the article.
His argument is that authentication technology is becoming so smart, the value of the password is becoming greatly diminished. Thanks to 2-step authentication, even with his twitter password, you can't get into his account. He points to a bunch of ways that tech companies are rendering the password valueless:
Google is working on an as-yet unnamed protocol that allows you to connect to your online accounts on any device by authenticating yourself with your smartphone. This could be a code sent to you, or even a "smart ring." In June, Google showed off one version of this scheme, in which a user's laptop can be unlocked by the mere presence of his or her smartphone. It might seem foolish to replace an authentication token that you keep in your head (a password) with one you keep in your pocket (like a phone) but consider: The former can be obtained by hackers, and the latter you can shut down the moment it goes missing.
If you have either an iPhone or a newer Samsung phone running Android, it's simple to lock your phone remotely, even wipe it. So even if a thief gets his hands on the skeleton key to your accounts, you can disable it easily. Plus, your phone is itself locked (or should be) with a PIN code or even a fingerprint sensor.
But it seems that it's not so much about getting rid of the password itself, but more like using a password in conjunction with some other component - a pin number, a device, a fingerprint sensor. Something like that.
I like the idea, and I appreciate the boldness of it. It actually reminds me a bit of our story from a few months back about Y. Woodman Brown, who decided to post all of his passwords in the comments of a Washington Post article about Heartbleed.
They may look similar, but while Christopher Mims was doing it to prove a point about how hard it has actually become to compromise an account, Woody Brown was inviting people in to his accounts. Brown wanted to live his online life in a radically open way to show that it wouldn't really have any effect on him. And it appears that it didn't.

All the above granted, but why would one not moderate the UGC and eliminate the spam? Automation is fun---that's google (and they can kill you)---when taking charge is so easy? Websites are not "set it and forget" doohickies.I honestly had to look this up first:

I would try to find a way that wouldn't allow anyone to post a URL
All user generated content should use rel=nofollow tag. Unfortunately this won't stop the spam.
All user generated content should use rel=nofollow tag and that includes member profile user "homepage" links.Guys, the whole point of this thread was to discuss an issue of having URLs in the text of a UGC page but not as links, nofollow or do follow.

So, there should technically be no reason to spam my forum because you cannot gather links from it but I assume that spammers can only survive it they automate their operations. I doubt anyone spamming there has actually been to any of my sites to verify if it merits spamming.

Past ProblemsMature
Mayumi tossed violently in her sleep as visions of her parents popped into her head. Her palms were sweaty and her legs felt numb. A sudden shot of adrenaline hit her when she heard the slight patter of footsteps. Mayumi jolted up and slowly, slowly got out of the bed, tip toeing out into the hallway. She first went to Koemi's room, only a short distance away. She would not let anything happen this time. Whatever was going on, she would be in control this time. She gently slid her hands under Koemi's back so she could lift her. Koemi stirred from Mayumi's touch, wiggling side to side and opened her eyes, tiredly.
"Mayumi, what's going on?"
Mayumi stroked her hair while rocking her.
"Shhhh… it's fine," Mayumi assured her in a hush tone.
Koemi stayed quiet as she plopped her head on Mayumi's shoulder. She carried her like a doll out of the room and into their parent's bedroom. There they found Machiko staring at the symbol on the wall. She must've been sleep walking again, which she tended to do when she was really stressed out or excited about something.
"Machiko, your room is this way."
Mayumi tried to talk to her sister because it usually worked, but this time Machiko continued to stare at the symbol, eyes wide open. Mayumi, still embracing Koemi in her arms walked so she was standing next to Machiko. Koemi lifted her head and looked at the wall, curious as to what was grabbing her sister's attention.
"Tamashi" she read.
Mayumi stood still, that word, that's what she said before….
The serpent on the symbol began to spin. It spun rapidly, mixing the symbol of red into what looked like a giant blob. Mayumi knew what was coming, so she held Koemi closer and placed her hand around Machiko's arm. Koemi watched as their parent's room disappeared and a sea of black turned into the dark blue sky, a corn field and the smell of bamboo. Machiko could feel hard grass touching her bare feet. Their surroundings were different. They were in a corn field that seemed to expand on over the horizon. Where were they? After Mayumi placed Koemi down, she looked around and was surprised. Koemi turned toward Machiko. Somehow she looked different. Her hair retained its usual brown curls but her outfit and her aura was different. Machiko's body was wrapped in a white and red robe. Its sleeves were long and wavy. A long red cord draped off Machiko's shoulders and formed a bow near her stomach. Her left leg was exposed as the robe waved over the right side of her body.
"Machiko?" Koemi asked hoping her sister wasn't still asleep.
Machiko turned her head and smiled.
"Your clothes…"
Machiko looked down at herself realizing Koemi's words. Machiko's mouth opened in astonishment. Her clothes were different but not just hers, Mayumi and Koemi. What was also strange was something in her hand.
She thought for a moment before saying "This looks like a traditional kimono."
"Doesn't look traditional with your leg sticking out like that," Mayumi mumbled.
Machiko turned and glared at Mayumi who was wearing a short kimono that resided over her thighs, being held together by a thick orange sash.
"Look at you, look at me. Look at Koemi! Where are we? What happened?"
"That thing on the wall did it," Koemi yelled in excitement.
Koemi wore a short kimono like Mayumi but wore knee high socks that accompanied the high bows in her hair perfectly.
"Yeah…I mean once Koemi said Tamashi we somehow ended up here."
"Wait…these cornfields, these outfits; they remind me of a story from old Japan." Machiko spun her arms around embracing the cold evening air.
"So what are you saying?" Mayumi asked.
"It's like the past." Machiko mumbled.
"How do you figure that?"
Mayumi remained skeptical. It just didn't seem likely. Well, considering what happened earlier at this point she was a little open to accepting it.
"I have a feeling…" Machiko stuttered.
She knew she sounded crazy, but Koemi and Mayumi nodded their heads in a silent agreement to show they believed her. They must've been transported back in time.
"This is strange, but it feels like…."
Machiko stopped in mid sentence, catching herself. She didn't know why but deep inside there was something undiscovered.
"It feels like we've been here before."
Mayumi finished off her sentence with the same exact words she was thinking. Koemi was oblivious to this but Machiko and Mayumi could feel that they had been there before. They had recognized the dry corn husks and the smell of bamboo. It was crazy to think it, so they brushed it off like it was nothing. The problem was how to get home.

Folk and country music are among the most popular genres in the US. The music is easy on the ears and is enjoyed immensely by the masses. Folk and country share their roots in the story-song tradition of the southern rural communities in the US. The names that are regarded as the pioneers of folk music are Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. Country music on the other hand was introduced by names such as Eck Robertson, Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family.

The Monster Factory: Warren & Gredown

The Final Hole by Jose Bea (Eerie #73)

Just when you think you've seen them all something comes along that makes you go, "Ummmm...that shouldn't be...". This is one of those books.
For a fair while now there's been a few of us collectors trying to track down as much output from the (now defunct) publishing company Gredown. In the process we've all networked and come up with various theories, but one thing remained consistent, the belief that Gredown published material from the likes of Charlton, Skywald, Atlas/Seaboard, Archie, ACG and a handful of other, now long gone, companies from the American Golden Age. The boundaries were fairly clear - K.G. Murray reprinted DC and Warren, Yaffa and Kenmure (Kenmure was associated with Murray - more on Yaffa very soon) reprinted Marvel, as did Page, Newton and Horwitz, when they were still active. Kevin Patrick wrote about the Spanish Connection in relation to Gredowns a while back, that's more than worth reading before you go any further with this entry. Spiros Xenos has also began to document Gredowns and has compiled as detailed a checklist as I've seen to date with 238 confirmed titles (oddly enough I have exactly 128 of those titles on hand, and I suspect there's a few more around the place yet to be found). Somehow I think this book will now throw the feline amongst the feathery things. You see, the following book is a Gredown, that has Warren reprints in it. And not just any Warren, these stories presumably all come from one of the Warren flagship books, Eerie.
Now I have a few copies of the Australian version of Eerie, but not as many as I'd like to have. I do have the first issue, along with a smattering of Creepy and Vampirella and they were all produced from the Kenmure (K.G. Murray) group. So far it's clear cut - trust me on this - until now. The last two weeks has seen me buy two great boxes of mint condition Aussie reprints. Good for me as it's given me some stuff I didn't have previously and it's also enabled me to upgrade quite a number of my own collection. In the last box were two comics that made me sit up and take notice. The first was issue #8 of Nightmare, a Skywald title, issued under the Page banner. The book is made up of Skywald reprints and I'll scan/document it in due course. The second book is the one above - which was issued by Gredown, has all the hallmarks of a standard Gredown book and yet is made up solely of Warren reprints.
Some might argue that writer/artist Jose Bea reprinted and marketed his own material, but according to his Lambeck entry, that wasn't until 1982, a good six years after this reprint came out. Where things get really muddy is that, according to Richard Arndt's comprehensive Warren checklist only three of the books seven stories saw print in any Warren publication, and I'm even a bit suspicious about the first story because I don't have the original Eerie magazine to check on it.
So where do the other four stories come from? Who knows. Possibly they were printed somewhere, more likely Spain, and then imported to this book to flesh it out. The cover is keeping in with the overall surrealistic art style of the book - and to be honest this is one of the most bizarre comic books I think I've seen - but is clearly not by Bea. Until we know for sure I'm open for suggestions and ideas so either fire them down directly or leave some comments. One thing is certain, this book changes how we look at Gredown and their output.

I always expected that the more thoroughly the Gredowns were indexed, the more interesting the range and source of the contents would turn out to be. But I always expected this would mainly relate to the pre-Code material. I didn't expect to find instances of reprints in the Gredowns which did not see the light of day at all in the US (this is also the case for a Simonson story in Maze of Monsters #2, which I discussed on my blog yesterday).
I think the theory that they may have appeared in European or other markets and were sourced from there for the Gredowns has some traction. It's related to the theory of an agency such as Transworld, which we've discussed before.
When you say the boundaries were clear, note also that Charlton mystery/horror material appeared prominently in both KG Murray and Gredown titles. However, I'm not sure how this seeming lack of exclusivity relates to the possible involvement of an agency.

When I say the boundries were clear it was in releation to which company reprinted what. You'd not see any Marvel or DC stories in Gredown books, for example, yet you did find, for a short while Marvel & Charlton in Murray. We know that Murray (also via Kenmure) also reprinted a lot of Charlton, along with Gredown etc etc. So, although the boundries were generally clear, at times things got blurred - like finding Warren material where it shouldn't be.
I've always pointed towards the Transworld/agency theory, as you well know. Without the records though (and I fear that they're lost for all time now) we're never going to know for sure - unless someone surfaces who can say, without a doubt, as to who sold what to whom. Mind you I'd love to know where these Peter Hypnos strips appeared as I can only source three stories out of seven.
I know that once I start fully indexing my Gredowns (which I've done) then patterns will start appearing...as indeed they have already have done so. More on that later.

I think I misread or misunderstood what you said about the 3 (or 4) stories.
I thought you were saying they were intended for Warren but remained unpublished in the US, but somehow made their way to Spain (or elsewhere) on their way to this Gredown mag - which does indeed sound very interesting! Which is why I mentioned the Simonson story - it would mean they possibly followed a similar trajectory, and that there are possibly many more 'previously unpublished' stories amongst the Gredowns!
But now I'm reading it as they were possibly printed in the US after all, but likely in non-Warren magazines, and have not yet been identified. Which is still interesting, of course, but not the same thing as having 'scarce' material.
So, I'm hoping for the former case, but will settle for the latter.

- Danny said...
No, you read it right. I'm hoping that the strips were intended for Warren but not printed - I might fire an email to Richard Arndt and see what light he can shed.
I know that Bea did a collection of Peter Hypnos strips, but that wasn't until 1982. I expect that he might have printed these strips in Spain (perhaps) in the mid '70s. I'll find out one way or the other.

i used to have a copy of The Monster Factory as a child. I lent it to a classmate (Henry Fong, Barrenjoey High School, Avalon Beach NSW) around 1983. He subsequently stole it. I haven't seen it in 34 years and would dearly love to see these stories again, even in scan, if anyone can help or suggest something. email@example.com

Verdict: The impact on the ocean environment is highly unpredictable. Also it is seen to be slow and costly. It can at best play a "moderate role in carbon sequestration."
Chemical air capture with carbon removal: Some scientists have been developing prototype devices that soak up ambient airborne carbon and fix it in various chemical or mineral compounds, which must then be transported and stored.
Verdict: It is seen to have lots of potential, but storage venues for the captured carbon must be identified. It's slow and expensive, but low-risk.
Solar-radiation management
Cloud whitening: Cloud cover over the oceans can be increased by spraying tiny saltwater particles into the sky. This idea has received a lot of public attention and doesn't depend on sci-fi technology.
Verdict: Cloud-whitening efforts, carried out by special flotillas, can be turned off quickly in case of problems. The impact on marine ecosystems is not known.
Increasing Earth's surface reflectivity: Making Earth's surface more reflective could bring down temperatures. Measures include painting roofs, roads and other man-made surfaces white. Other ideas: large-scale desert reflectors.
Verdict: Surface whitening is straightforward, but it would take time to paint a sufficient area to achieve a result. The Royal Society estimates that all of the world's desert areas would have to be covered with reflectors to achieve a meaningful effect.
Stratospheric aerosols: Inspired by cooling after the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, some experts have proposed jettisoning various aerosols into the stratosphere to replicate the impact of a major volcanic explosion.
Verdict: The quantity of aerosols needed to reduce temperatures is estimated to weigh less than a 10th of the cargo shipped by air each year. But scientists don't yet understand the impact on the ozone layer and other climatic systems.
Space-based solar reflectors: Reflective or refractive surfaces - everything from orbiting mirrors to dust particles or trillions of metallic disks - could be deployed in Earth's orbit.
Verdict: Besides the cost, technical complexity and time involved (decades to deploy), the obvious question is what happens if something goes wrong after all that stuff is sent into orbit.

Apple PowerBook, comprising laptop, external floppy disk drive, battery, high speed data cable (SCSI adapter), original packaging and accessory kit.
The PowerBook 100 is Apple's first lightweight laptop computer, released in October 1991 and discontinued in August 1992.
This is a battery operated portable or 'lap top' computer, supplied in its original packaging (cardboard box). The box also includes a high speed data cable (SCSI adapter), an external floppy disk drive and a spare battery.
Apple's innovative design placed the keyboard close to the screen and placed a trackball (an upside down mouse) close to the user.
Introduced at a time when laptops had no mouse and the keyboard was positioned as far from the screen as possible, this revolution in laptop design was at first ridiculed for placing the keyboard close to the screen and an upside down mouse close to the user. However the configuration proved both stable and comfortable to use on the lap, and is now (2007) accepted as the industry standard.
The donor of this particular PowerBook took the computer with him on about ten journeys around the world and it never failed to perform.
Despite it being smaller in size than standard desktop machines, the PowerBook 100 was much faster and had a larger memory. It incorporated a hard disk, squeezed into a box so tiny and light there was no room for a floppy disk drive.
This item is part of a representative collection of hardware, software, trade literature and promotional material that documents the history of the Apple company, and its contribution to, and impact on the computer industry and society.

Aiken Standard (Newspaper) - July 21, 1989, Aiken, South Carolina M Jg?1' Stewart Breaks Course Record Page 6A A Quick Read Wolf Return To Park Stirs Up Opponents WASHINGTON (AP) — A move by Congress to speed the return of wolves to Yellowstone Park is "clearly premature," says the head of the National Park Service. Parks Director James Ridenour told a House panel Thursday that the bill introduced by Rep. Wayne Owens, D-Utah, would interfere with studies under way to find out if wolves can be returned to the popular park without hurting the many interests involved. Battle lines are drawn between environmentalists and sportsmen in the controversy over whether to restore the only indigenous species still missing from the Yellowstone area. Those pushing for return of the animals say that under the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, wolves must be returned to restore the wilderness areas to their original state. Sportsmen who hunt elk, which are the prey of wolves, and domestic livestock owners want to keep the wolves out. They are supported by several Western lawmakers. Malaysia Hangs Briton For Drug Trafficking RAJ ANG, Malaysia (AP) — A Briton convicted of heroin trafficking was hanged in prison today and spent his last hours clutching a photograph of his 7-year-old daughter, authorities said. Derrick Gregory was the first Briton to be executed under Malaysia's stringent 14-year-old drug law. Authorities had ignored pleas from British diplomats that he be spared death. Gregory clutched the photo of his daughter, Tara, through the night until he was marched to the gallows early today. Gregory, 39, had not seen his daughter since she was an infant. He was arrested in 1982 at a Malaysian airport, reportedly on his way to Los Angeles from Singapore, with 576 grams of heroin hidden in his boots. His wife divorced him soon after he was sentenced to death in 1987. Gregory, of Middlesex, England, was turned down in his final appeal for clemency.

Butler Derrick, DS.C., that would allow the Savannah River Site s K-Reactor to exceed environmental requirements. In a news conference called at the headquarters of the Energy Research Foundation, environmentalists said they opposed Rep. Derrick's efforts to block construction of cooling towers for K-Reactor. Rep. Derrick has succeeded in getting the House Rules Committee to pass an amendment that would divert $127 million for construction of the cooling towers into cleanup funds for the plant. Frances Close Hart, chairman of the ERF, said Rep. Derrick's proposal is "outrageous." Ms. Hart was joined by Dr. Mary Kelly, Hooked On Flying Derrick's Proposal....................Page 10A natural resources chairman of the league of Women Voters, and Betty Spence of the S.C. Wildlife Federation in condemning Rep. Derrick's action. Ms. Hart said in 1982, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control told the Department of Energy, which has supervisory authority at the nuclear installation, that the government would have to bring the reactors into compliance with national environmental protection laws. Ms. Hart said because of that demand, DOE did extensive studies and made a decision to build the K-Reactor cooling tower in 1987, "The Department of Energy was told back in 1982 that it would have to do (Please See EXEMPTION, Page 10A) Westinghouse's Restart Delay Criticized By Energy Secretary From Wire And Staff Reports Energy Secretary James Watkins criticized Westinghouse Electric Corp.'s recent decision to delay until the fall of 1990 the start-up of one of Savannah River Site's idled nuclear reactors. Watkins, in a letter to a senior Westinghouse official, criticized the company for not notifying him sooner of a nine-month delay of the proposed restart timetable. A company spokesman said Thursday that Westinghouse has "serious communications problems" with the U.S. Department of Energy — so much so that Watkins summoned Paul Lego, president and chief operating officer, to Washington Wednesday. In a July 17 letter to Lego, Watkins wrote, "I am particularly disturbed that you did not find it sufficiently important to notify me personally that, in the last three months, Westinghouse (See WESTINGHOUSE, Page IDA) IT STARTED WITH ONE: What started with one plane as a Christmas present has grown into an addiction for Robert A.

(Please See PLANE, Page 10A Woodside Golf Takes First Step Grading Permit Almost Missed Planners Agenda By CARL LANGLEY Staff Writer Woodside Development Co. took the first step in construction of a $3 million golf course Thursday night by gaining Aiken County Planning Commission approval to apply for a grading and clearing permit. Woodside's request was filed by Mark Graham of the civil engineering firm of Ayer Graham & Associates Inc. and was added to the agenda by a special vote of the commission. Woodside Development Co. President J. Michael (Mike) Hosang said the 18-hole championship rated golf course will join another already serving residents of Woodside. Commissioner Jim Baggott noted that because of a mixup by county officials the Woodside request had been left off the agenda, and he noted the addition is not normal procedure. "I want to make it clear to the public that we are not making an accommodation because of a grass planting schedule," said Baggott. Baggott said a lack of communications between two county departments prevented the proposal from getting onto the agenda through proper channels. Graham, in presenting his client's Development Standard Ordinance proposal, said the application process had to be speeded up because of a grass planting schedule for the 18-hole course. "We hope to start the grading and clearing before the end of the month," Graham said. The course will be the second built at Woodside. Hosang said the new course is the first step in constructing Phase 2 of Woodside's development of the 2,300-acre tract (Please See WOODSIDE, Page TOA) Real Estate Transactions Total $287.3 Million For Fiscal Year By CARL LANGLEY Staff Writer Real estate transactions amounting to more than $287.3 million were recorded in Aiken County during fiscal year 1988-89, according to figures obtained from the registrar of mesne conveyance office. The figures, which were posted between July I of last year and June 30 of this year, were obtained from a record-setting number of documentary stamps sold. The documentary stamps, which cost $3.30 per $1,000 worth of property and are attached to all real estate transactions, are sold through the registrar's office. Registrar of Mesne Conveyance Peggy Whitman said June collections of the stamps amounted to more than $107,000 and represented the best month of the fiscal year. The June collections, also one of the biggest months in county history, enabled the registrar's office to end the fis-1989 Collections January.......... $59,813 23 February............ ...........$52,477.01 March.................. $90,024.61 April................

State and county sharing of the income allowed the county to put $399,238.05 in the bank, exceeding 1988-89 fiscal year budget projections by more than $80,000. Mrs. Whitman said under the sharing formula the state gets about 58 percent of all income derived from the real estate transfer fees. The registrar said the county also is off to a good start in the 1989-90 fiscal year, collecting $38,664.80 in fees for the first two weeks of July. Aikenite's Tomato Holds Firm Lead, Cucumbers Still Fighting In Contest An Aiken gardener's tomato is holding firm to its lead, but the cucumbers are still fighting it out in the Aiken Standard's vegetable contest. Hoyt Hamilton of Aiken was in the lead for the second week in the tomato contest with a 2 pound 4.6 ounces entry. Sam Christine of Aiken took over the lead in the cucumber contest with a green monster that weighed in at 3 pounds 2.70 ounces. As of noon Thursday, 17 gardeners had weighed in fat tomatoes and 18 had brought in hefty cucumbers. The contest, which will run until Aug. 2, is for all gardeners with the exception of Aiken Standard employees and their families. Weight is the only criterion in the contest. The heaviest tomato and the heaviest cucumber will each win $100 prizes for their growers. Second prize in each category will be $50, and third place will be $25. Gardeners may bring their entries to the front desk of the Aiken Standard at 124 Rutland Drive between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. A receptionist will weigh the vegetables and record the results. Contest winners and their vegetables will be announced in early August. An article and picture featuring the winners will appear in the Aiken Standard. ;

Also, LOL at some of the Konoha Crew's dream-world's.
Also also, more potential fodder that Sasuke might end up as the Naruto's final opponent in the manga, and that it WON'T be a friendly rival-spar.

Black Zetsu, just leave Obito's and his body out of this, Madara fooled him into his Infinite whatever plan.
He suffered more than long enough already, so why would he have to be stuck into your "Kaguya's will" just to be dragged around again, so he is also sort of fooled by Kaguya too.
Just free him already, his only one eye is closed and having a good "Infinite Tsukuymi" night sleep as of now.

So Kaguya is the final villain, was hoping that was not the case, even though it was kinda hinted last chapter, oh well.
How Black Zetsu managed to hurt, let alone pierce Madara is beyond me.

Didn't see that one comming, tought the dark-will was Madara's, ended up being Kaguya's-will , very nice plot twist......now i wonder....
Since Naruto and Sasuke will be the only ones left could they summon Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki ... Dark/Light hands holding, something like that.
That they fight side by side with Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, like his two sons..Asura/Indra.

Army Corps outlines next steps in Hix Bridge debris removal
Efforts to rid the Westport River's East Branch of debris left behind from past Hix Bridge repair jobs are moving forward, say Town Administrator Timothy J. King and members of the Westport River Watershed Alliance (WRWA).
A conference call last week that included the Army Corps of Engineers, Mr. King, WRWA's Betsy White, and officials from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation spelled out the tentative timetable as well as some funding details, information that Mr. King shared with the Board of Selectmen Monday.
Next up, says the Army Corps, will be a feasibility study for which the Corps has committed $100,000, of which it has already spent $54,000. The Corps, which estimated that the study could cost up to $200,000, requires the town to match any study cost amount over $100,000 at a 50-50 rate.
Other funding sources are available to the town, however, that should help the work proceed without Westport committing money of its own to the work.
Although the WRWA cannot pay the town's matching obligation, it is looking into ways it can help with the study, Ms. White said.
"A lot of research has already been done by us (and others) and we will review it to make sure that nothing is done that is redundant," Ms. White said. And the Alliance may also be able to help with work that remains to be done — water sampling and permitting help, for instance — "which can help keep costs down."
Also, a state transportation bond issue approved this spring includes $400,000 for the Westport project, some of which could be used for the study phase.
"The Army Corps will come up with a draft plan for the scope of work … perhaps by the end of August," Ms. White." The study itself will take about a year, after which, if the Army Corps deems the project to be feasible, actual removal work could begin.
Removing the debris will cost around $600,000, the Corps expects, for which it will pay 65 percent and the town is committed to 35 percent.
But local officials expect the town share will be covered by the balance of that $400,000 state contribution as well as by such non-monetary assistance as providing shore staging facilities.
Although the feasibility study has not yet been done, Ms. King said the Army Corps is approaching the project with enthusiasm.
They have indicated that they believe this relatively small project has the capability of going a long way toward "helping shellfish — oysters and quahogs — re-seed beds up there that were once very productive."
The Hix Bridge project would involve removing massive chunks of concrete and debris dumped to the north of the bridge during several rebuilds of the bridge. This rubble, say the WRWA and others who have looked at it, has caused severely restricted water flow there and cut the depth of the once-deep channel to a few feet except in the eastern-most passage.
Ken Perez, now retired, studied the situation for the Environmental Protection Agency 15 years ago.
In what had been nearly 30-foot deep water, "we're suddenly getting depths of just a few feet. What's that about?"
This had historically been a superb oyster area, he said. "It had everything going for it — lack of predators because salinity is lower, good current speed in a narrow part of the river, and a hard bottom" washed clean of muck by that current.
But now, on the north side of the barrier, the "current has been reduced by a factor of four or five (and) and the oysters are literally suffocating in silt."
To learn more, the WRWA has set oyster floats out on the north and south sides of the bridge to compare oyster growth.

Broadcast: 09/11/2004
Reporter: Trevor Bormann
With the veteran Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat clinging to life in a military hospital in Paris his potential successors are jockeying for power. While the Speaker of the Palestinian parliament will assume presidential powers on Arafat's death and elections ought to be called within 60 days there's widespread confusion among Palestinians about who will emerge as the next leader.To find out what Palestinians want Trevor Bormann went to Ramallah to see one of the most prominent pro-democracy advocates. Dr Mustafa Barghouthi, head of the Palestinian National Initiative and founder of the Health, Development, Information and Policy Institute believes there's no future in violent confrontation with Israel. "The other way was tried, we've lost ten years and four thousand five hundred people who were killed," Dr Mustafa said. "One thousand Israelis and three thousand five hundred Palestinians. We've lost 53,000 injured people so that version, that narrative did not work. We have to opt for a different alternative narrative." Dr Barghouthi says that Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip hasstripped the Palestinian Authority of any real power and that international pressure is needed to enable democratic elections to be held in the territories.He is scathing about the current state of the PA. "We have to get rid of lots of bad things like nepotism, favouritism, factionalism…so many structures to give people jobs without them being ready or capable of doing these jobs."

Carney Seen Meddling in British Love Affair With PropertyEmma Charlton and Joshua Robinson
Mark Carney might be about to meddle in Britain's love affair with housing.
With a growing number of analysts saying the property market is at risk of overheating, 67 percent of respondents to Bloomberg's monthly survey of economists predict the Bank of England governor will take steps to cool real estate next month. Measures could range from forcing banks to hold more capital to tightening mortgage-approval criteria.
Carney this week issued his most forthright warning on housing yet, indicating that a response may be imminent to curb values that are surging about 10 percent a year. Still, any intervention by the Financial Policy Committee in a market that has long been Britain's national obsession may be tempered to ensure it doesn't derail the economic recovery.
"The tone and the sense of urgency has shifted at the BOE," said Philip Shaw, an economist at Investec Securities Ltd. "The consensus view appears to be that while there's no national problem for now, it would be unwise to ignore the threat of problems developing later on."
Carney isn't alone in signaling concern. His deputy governor for financial stability, Jon Cunliffe, who also sits on the FPC, has said it would be "dangerous" to ignore the property momentum.
'Biggest Risk'
In the Bloomberg survey, more than four fifths of 28 economists said housing is at risk of overheating, the most since the question was first posed in November. Rightmove Plc said asking prices for homes rose 3.6 percent this month, propelling the average to a record 272,003 pounds ($457,600).
Housing has evolved into Carney's biggest concern after record-low borrowing costs, a supply shortage and government incentives bolstered values. The FPC will hold its next meeting on June 17 and publish recommendations on June 26.
"The biggest risk to financial stability, and therefore to the durability of the expansion, those risks center in the housing market," Carney said in an interview on Sky News broadcast on May 18. "That's why we are focused on that."
Prime Minister David Cameron said today the government will consider any changes to its stimulus program that the BOE recommends.
"It's absolutely right that we are alert to any dangers," Cameron said on BBC Radio. The FPC has the tools "to call out any problems in our economy, any bubbles in our economy, and to act on them and Mark Carney has all those powers at his disposal."
Forecasts Upgraded
The improving housing market has helped bolster the economy, and 71 percent of economists in the survey said the U.K. has now reached what Carney has termed "escape velocity," up from 40 percent last month.
Economic growth accelerated to 0.8 percent in the first quarter and the BOE said last week that a gradual strengthening of productivity and real incomes "together with growing confidence of companies to invest, should underpin the durability of the expansion."
In a separate Bloomberg survey, economists revised up their growth forecasts for this year and next year by 0.1 percentage point and now expect expansion of 2.9 percent and 2.5 percent. The BOE sees the U.K. growing 3.4 percent this year and 2.9 percent in 2015.
"The economy has started to head back toward normal," Carney said at a press conference last week.
Economists see inflation averaging 1.8 percent this year and 2 percent in 2015, according to the survey. Data today showed price growth accelerated to 1.8 percent in April from 1.6 percent, boosted by transport costs because of Easter.
The governor sidestepped questions then about when the BOE will lift its key interest rate from a record-low 0.5 percent. Investors are pricing in an increase in the first half of 2015, a view shared by economists.
Thirty-five percent of 46 respondents in the survey predict the BOE will increase rates in the first quarter of 2015 and 35 percent said it will wait until the three months ending June. Eleven percent see an increase before the end of this year.

Floodwood returns to Wilkes-Barre with new players, new music to perform at Bart & Urby's April 1
Floodwood, the all star "newgrass" group, performs yearly in the Wyoming Valley. They've played the River Street Jazz Cafe, Coal City Tavern, and one uniquely intimate private party in 2014 for about 40 people at the home of Matt and Pati Bobeck of West Wyoming.
With a newly secured lineup, the masters of progressive string music will perform at 8 p.m. April 1, at Bart & Urby's, 119 South Main St., Wilkes-Barre. Supporting act Lithium Angels, featuring Dylan Skursky of Cabinet and Justin Mazer of American Babies, will open the show.
Jason Barady of Woodenspoon and Vinnie Amico and Al Schnier of moe., founded Floodwood in 2011. It had to regroup in 2015 after Schnier bowed out to spend more time with his children and focus on moe.
Barady said the band returns to Wilkes-Barre frequently and he recalled how much fun Floodwood had at the Bobeck residence.
"It was fantastic," Barady said. "The Bobecks are amazing. They're music lovers, and without people like that, we don't exist. It was a great musical night, because you feel like you're a teenager again playing at a high school party."
Pati said she and her husband, Matt, became fans after seeing Floodwood at moe.down, moe.'s music festival, and became more intrigued after the band played a charity event at the Jazz Cafe.
"I thought they were fantastic," Pati said. "The level of energy coming off of that stage was impressive. Then they played the Rock the Walls benefit. That's when we really got into them."
Pati said the show at her home was a combination of wanting to host a great band for friends and wanting to help the band fund a record.
"They did this Kickstarter thing, so it was to help with their album," she said. "We love having house parties. We love creating an environment where everyone can hang out and enjoy the moment."
When Floodwood returns, Pati can't wait to hear their sound with talented players filling in around a solid core.
"Jason and Nick have this interaction," she said. "It's infectious. They get everybody involved with their energy."
Floodwood's current ensemble is comprised of veterans Barady on mandolin, Amico on drums and Nick Piccininni on violin and banjo with the additions of Tony Markellis of the Trey Anastasio Band on bass and Chris Eves of Castle Creek on guitar.
Floodwood released its first studio LP in 2013 with the crowd funded This Is Life. They followed up the next year with This Is Live. Barady said the band has a stable of new originals and a forthcoming studio record.
"We're trying to shoot for getting something out by summer time, but we'll see what happens," Barady said.
Floodwood's live performances encompass everything from their bluegrass fusion originals to inventive takes on traditional songs with the occasional Grateful Dead cover or jazz jam interjected. Barady attributes eclectic sets to influences from Sam Bush to Miles Davis.
"That's just all of our musical influences coming out," Barady said. "Instead of being one genre, that's how we play. We're all very worldly when it comes to music. We can play a lot of different genres."
The Wyoming Valley, Barady said, always gives the band positive feedback.
"We love coming to that area," Barady said. "You guys have always been one of our top places to come. The support's been fantastic for us there."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An axostyle is a sheet of microtubules found in certain microbial eukaryotes. It arises from the bases of the flagella, sometimes projecting beyond the end of the cell, and is often flexible or contractile, and so may be involved in movement and provides support for the cell. Axostyles originate in association with a flagellar microtubular root and occur in two groups, the oxymonads and parabasalids; they have different structures and are not homologous. Within Trichomonads the axostyle has been theorised to participate in locomotion and cell adhesion, but also karyokinesis during cell division.[1][2][3]
