Nabarro Nathanson's former head of commercial IT is keeping the launch of his new law firm in the family after naming the fledgling practice after his children.
TRG law, which goes live on 4 May, is named after Paul Golding's children Tim and Rebecca.
Golding, who spent 19 years with both Nabarros and its 1995 merger partner Turner Kenneth Brown, is launching the firm to focus on commercial contracts involving intellectual property and information technology and hopes to grow the practice to approximately five lawyers.
Commenting on his decision to go it alone, Golding said: "TRG law will be a top-quality, relatively small firm with better service than a larger firm at a more accessible rate."
He added: "As I became more senior I became more expensive and more removed from the ability to win work. At the heart of things, I am a lawyer and I want to practice my legal skills, negotiating a project hands-on."
It is understood that Golding's departure from Nabarros is amicable and that the lawyer will work with his former firm "as and when appropriate."

The latest radio ratings has delivered yet more good news for APN News and Media's Australian Radio Network, while 774 ABC Melbourne has knocked long-time talkback winner 3AW off its perch.
APN is now the number one commercial network in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide, and was only just beaten by Southern Cross Austereo in Melbourne, said Steve Allen of media analysis firm Fusion Strategy.
''After a knockout start to the year, ARN's light shines even brighter,'' he said. ''[After] playing second fiddle for years, this is the greatest resurgence in a couple of decades."
The fourth radio ratings of the year showed that ARN's Jonesy & Amanda program has consolidated its position as the highest-rating FM Sydney breakfast program. ARN's other stars, controversial hosts Kyle and Jackie O, had 9 per cent audience share, down from 9.5 per cent.
The Kyle and Jackie O show had a spectacular start to 2014, taking much of its audience from 2Day FM to new home ARN. But the latest survey, the fourth of the year, showed some of the gloss had worn off.
Guy Dobson is the chief content officer of Southern Cross Austereo, owner of the top 40 stations 2Day FM and Fox, plus male-focused rock station Triple M.
Mr Dobson said while the ratings for 2Day FM's 'Jules, Merrick and Sophie with Mel B' breakfast show were disappointing - just 3 per cent in Sydney, from 3.6 per cent - there had been a "list of clients an arm's length long'' that wouldn't be associated with Kyle and Jackie O.
"Our show in Sydney has been on for four surveys, whereas the others have been on for 40 or 50 surveys," Mr Dobson said. "We have a long way to go, but we'll get there quickly."
Mr Dobson also pointed to Triple M's ratings in Melbourne, where it is the top-rating commercial network and where its breakfast program - hosted by Eddie McGuire, comedian Mick Molloy and former footballer Luke Darcy - is the top-rating FM program.
"This is a resurgent network that is clearly punching above its weight," Mr Dobson said. "From a business perspective, it's one where we see considerable growth, while building the 2Day side of the fence."
Fusion Strategy's Allen said while ''the past two surveys [were] a little kinder to Southern Cross Austereo, the latest [was] pretty positive'' although 2Day FM was ''not going anywhere".
Overall, 2GB was the highest rating Sydney station, with 12.5 per cent audience share from 5.30am till midnight. It was followed by ARN's WSFM at 10.2 per cent and ABC 702 at 9.1 per cent.
In Melbourne, ABC774 was the top rating station overall, at an improved 13.1 per cent, followed by 3AW at 12.8 per cent. 3AW is owned by Fairfax Media, publisher of the Australian Financial Review and the Sydney Morning Herald and Age.
Breakfast and morning programs on 774 - hosted by Red Symons and Jon Faine, respectively - outrated 3AW's. 3AW breakfast hosts Ross Stevenson and John Burns had won the breakfast ratings for 99 straight surveys - from 5.30am until 8.30am, this survey was a tie.
Ben Willee, of Spinach Advertising, said 3AW would nonetheless be popping the champagne. ''The interesting thing about this survey is that Fox, Gold, Mix and Triple M are really close,'' he said.
The ratings cover April 20 to June 28. Industry body Commercial Radio Australia this week released figures showing capital-city radio stations attracted record revenue in the year to June.
Revenue for radio in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth grew by 1.99 per cent to $697.13 million in the 2014 financial year, according to Deloitte.
PricewaterhouseCoopers on Monday tipped the Australian radio advertising market would grow by a compound annual rate of 3.4 per cent to 2018, to $1.3 billion from $1.13 billion. This would give it 9 per cent of Australia's $14.4 billion advertising market in 2018, it said.

Brokeback Mountain' spurs culture
of gay cowboy jokes
Heard any good "Brokeback'' jokes lately?
No? Here's one courtesy of Jay Leno:
"A movie theater in Utah abruptly canceled a screening of the movie 'Brokeback Mountain,'" Leno said in a recent "Tonight Show" monologue. "They felt it was inappropriate for the community standards.
"Instead, they ran 'Deliverance.'"
Ba-dum-dum. But seriously, folks...
The gay cowboy romance-tragedy, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as lovers Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, has become the office water-cooler topic of the moment.
The Internet is full of "Brokeback'' jokes, some funny, some just crude. Last week, USA Today ran a lengthy story on its Life front addressing the phenomenon.
"Against all odds, a Western romance about two men...has corralled the cultural zeitgeist, making it safe for our national funny bone to come out of the closet,'' wrote USA Today's Susan Wloszcyna.
The buzz extends from office e-mails with the inevitable tag line "I wish I knew how to quit you'' — the movie's signature phrase — all the way to the highest corridor of power, the Oval Office.
At a question-and-answer session recently, President Bush was asked whether he'd seen the movie.
An awkward grin spread across the president's face. He finally allowed that while he'd be glad to talk about ranching, he hadn't seen "Brokeback Mountain.''
But you could tell he'd heard about it.
The film, which has been gradually opening in theaters across the country, debuted in Fayetteville on Friday.
The R-rated movie is showing at the Market Fair 15 and Cameo Art House Theatre, where it drew good weekend crowds.
Nationally, the movie ranked No. 6 with more than $6 million in box-office proceeds last week, bringing its two-month take to about $50 million. Not bad for a movie that cost an estimated $14 million to make, according to press reports.
The movie has already won four Golden Globe awards, and Oscar recognition seems certain. Ledger, in particular, has been singled out for praise for his devastating portrayal of an inarticulate man struggling with his sexual identity.
But still, the jokes persist...
David Letterman listed his "Top 10 Signs You are a Gay Cowboy.'' Number 5: "Native Americans refer to you as Dances With Men.''
On "Saturday Night Live,'' Alec Baldwin and Will Forte played gay prospectors in a spoof called "Brokeback Goldmine.''
"Brokeback Squadron,'' an online spoof making the rounds, features a character modeled after Tom Cruise in "Top Gun'' making goo-goo eyes at his studly wingman.
The movie's poster, which depicts the two cowboy-hatted characters in a pensive pose, has been the subject of any number of take-offs. One depicts indicted Congressman Tom DeLay and corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff over the caption, "Kickback Mountain.''
In the USA Today story, gay actor and writer Bruce Vilanch called the movie an "irresistible'' target for parody.
"Not only is it the first mainstream gay love story in a long time, it's between two cowboys,'' Vilanch said. "What greater American icons are there than gay men and cowboys? When you mix the two, it's a stereotype too good to pass by.''
So we can expect the nudge-nudge, wink-wink jokes to continue, at least until the phenomenon passes and "Brokeback'' jokes become as dated as disco.
Until then, stay tuned for the inevitable "Brokeback Mountain'' Valentine's Day cards ("I'll never quit you,'' etc., etc.), jokes about sequels ("Brokeback II: Return to the Mountain'') and, come Halloween, "Brokeback'' cowboy costumes (Are you going as Jack or Ennis?).
After which point, "I wish I knew how to quit you'' will mercifully pass into the memory banks of movie history, residing forever alongside "Show me the money'' and "Life is like a box of chocolates.''
Gone, but never forgotten.

On Sunday we had an amazing style shoot for The Daily Dose ("Wedding Week" is coming up towards the end of June – wehoo) and afterwards there were some flowers left-over. Fiona of FlowerUp did the flowers for the shoot and let us each take some home after, which was incredibly sweet of her. Obviously she did an amazing job and I was left with a bunch of beautiful bloom in light citrus colors….

LOVELY THINGS: striped straws & monograms
Back in December – as I was putting together our bar tray – I was on the lookout for cute bar / kitchen accessories and really wanted striped straws. For some reason those pretty straws were almost impossible to find anywhere in Europe (at an affordable price). But then my search finally led me to Etsy, where I came across the amazing shop "BackToZero" by Lingke. Not only does the shop offer just about any type of straw you could imagine (at only 4$ for a pack of 25!!), but it also sells gorgeous wrapping accessories (which I used for Christmas last year) and cupcake holders, as well as wax seal stamps….
D.I.Y.: gift wrapping for christmas
For the past few years it has become a ritual of mine to lock myself into my room the day before christmas to wrap all of the presents. I may be a bit weird, but I LOVE wrapping presents!! Accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea, a few cookies and my favorite christmas songs by Michael Bublé it makes for the perfect afternoon activity before the 24th. Last year I tied little silver snowflakes and ornaments with the faces of my family members on them to the presents (seen HERE) instead of name tags….

Wedding Day Emergency Brain Surgery Prompts Retake
A Kansas City couple is planning a "Take Two" version of their wedding, after their original ceremony was canceled when the bride had emergency brain surgery.
Alicia Wilburn and Brett Guggenmos were originally scheduled to get married last April. In the weeks leading up to the scheduled ceremony Wilburn, 32, started suffering from headaches. She went to various doctors who suggested the headaches were likely sinus-related and not serious.
On the day before the wedding Wilburn started to slur her speech as she was getting her nails done with her bridesmaids. She was rushed to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma or a potentially deadly brain clot.
"I felt so bad before [the diagnosis] it was almost a relief [to find out]," Wilburn told ABCNews.com. "I don't really remember much of that day."

The SQL Standard indicates that if you disconnect while a transaction is active, that an error will be raised. Nothing more, nothing less.On Tuesday 08 November 2005 16:39, Lance J.

Andersen wrote:Note that executing a statement on *another* statement object in the same connection no longer closes a result set,This has never been the intent in JDBC since its inception,Well, it sure had a funny way of showing it was not the intent :-) JDBC 1 "New JDBC connections are initially in "auto-commit" mode. This means that each statement is executed as a separate transaction at the database. In order to execute several statements within a single transaction, you must first disable auto-commit by calling Connection.setAutoCommit(false)."I assume you are refering to the JDBC 102 spec , i am aware of this verbage. The above wording does not specify what happens to the Statement that was active. Is it commited or rolled back? I am sure your milage varies as it does if you do a Connection.close() and there is an active transaction (The SQL standard differs from the reality of vendors. Some commit, some rollback some just give an Error and expect the user to address it as the standard suggests)A connection.close() is a method on the connection object. Since the result sets and statements are all relative to the connection object, clearly there will be problems and this is not the intention as per the earlier spec. I think the bigger question is how do you account for transactions within a connection? That appears to be the issue. If all of your SQL are atomic, then you don't have a problem. ;-)
This to me is a corner case that a good programmerJDBC 3 "For Select statements, the statement is complete when the associated result set is closed. The result set is closed as soon as one of the following occurs: [...] - another Statement object is executed on the same connection" Pretty explicit in both cases, only a single statement can be active in auto-commit mode. JDBC 4.0 is proposing a change that multiple statements, possibly including updates, can be active when in auto-commit mode. I wonder if that was really the intent of EG for these changes?The JDBC 3 spec intermixed when a ResultSet was closed with auto-commit semantics and these both are seperate scenarios. These should have been seperated. The verbage in JDBC 3 WRT to having another Statement executed on the same connection was not explict WRT auto commit as it was written and led to confusion.You can interpret this as follows: Those who wrote the JDBC spec did not conceive that someone would want to have multiple separate sets of transactions occurring within the same connection. (If you're going to run transactions then you should design your system to create a separate connection per thread.) Simply put GIGO.... Or Those who wrote the spec left the design open, allowing individuals to implement the spec as they saw fit. Allowing programmers enough room to hang themselves. If you consider the C programming language, its fairly open and doesn't protect the novice programmer from him/her self. Its a double edged sword.Perhaps 1 more bullet could be added to clarify this *specific* scenario as to the state of the ResultSet, i will see.Try and consider your audience. Sometimes more is less. Or is it that less is more? But hey, what do I know? I just saw that CA was bowing out of the Opensource DB world.... ;-)

This year's election for governor presents one of the clearest choices between competing ideologies in many years. Jim McGreevey, the Democratic candidate f or governor in 1997, and Bret Schundler, the Republican mayor of Jersey City, offer sharply contrasting views on the role of state government, education, gun control, abortion, sprawl and a whole gamut of lesser issues. Both candidates favor charter schools but Schundler favors creating a system of tax credits for donations to encourage more children to enroll in private an d parochial schools. He argues that so many children would leave the public schools that property taxpayers would save $480 million by having to hire fewer teachers and build fewer schools. The non-partisan Office of Legislative Services disagrees, saying that Schundler's proposal would actually cost the state almost $ 200 million.
Schundler has taken a pledge not to raise taxes and says if New Jersey is facing a budget deficit, the solution is to cut government spending and cut taxes to spur the economy.
McGreevey says government should live within its means and that he sees no need to raise taxes. But he says it would be irresponsible to take a "no new taxes" pledge, particularly in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks and the new terrorist threat.
Schundler also pledges to carry out his pledge to eliminate tolls from the Garden State Parkway within nine months, no matter what the state of the economy is.
McGreevey says he would require state agencies to follow the guidelines set forth in the State Plan to try to direct growth to urban areas. Schundler blames much of New Jersey's sprawl problem on the state Supreme Court's Mount Laurel hous ng decision that gave builders a weapon to force "affordable housing" on reluctant suburbs, and has pledged to seek a constitutional amendment to overturn Mount Laurel.
On abortion, McGreevey, who began his political career opposed to abortion, has been consistently pro-choice on the issue since the early 1990s. Schundler is personally opposed to abortion, but says he would not seek the passage of legislation challenging the right to an abortion established by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Schundler similarly has hedged his position on gun control since the Republican primary. While he appeared to favor giving citizens the right to carry concealed weapons in line with President Bush's position, he now says he would not seek to overturn New Jersey's gun control laws, which are among the toughest in the nation.
Schundler is asking a lot of the moderate, independent-minded voters who decide New Jersey elections. He is asking them not to hold his personal and past views on abortion and gun control against him. He is asking them to accept his optimistic view that handing out $585 million in tax credits would save property taxpayers $480 million, and that he can eliminate Garden State Parkway tolls in nine months when legislators in his own party say it would take years.
He is hinging his anti-sprawl program on a constitutional amendment that would take a year or more to enact, then would face a court challenge. And he is taking a no-tax-increase pledge in an uncertain era when our nation is in a new kind of war, both overseas and here in our own backyard.
Schundler is asking too much.
McGreevey has compiled a good record as mayor of Woodbridge and has been responsible in his promises. He has spent years campaigning for and studying for the position of governor. He has our endorsement, and he deserves your vote.
Vote for Jim McGreevey.

Algal cell
This red algal cell (Chlamydomonas nivalis) gives mountain snow packs a red tint. It uses the pollutants in snow as food. It cannot be seen without a microscope.
Acid in water
Plants and animals that live in water create some amount of acid in the water. The carbon dioxide that plants and animals release into the water makes the water acidic and unsafe for living organisms. This is why the water of captive aquatic animals and plants must be changed often.
Abundant green plants on the forest floor
Green plants make their own food by a process called photosynthesis. They also use nutrients and water from the soil to grow. Primary consumers (insects, chipmunks, mice and deer) eat green plants.
A rhinoceros
A rhinoceros is an example of an herbivore. Herbivores are animals that mostly eat producers, or plants.
A field of soil
Soil is an example of a non-living thing. Soil contains nutrients and living organisms, but the soil itself is not alive. Soil is important in plant growth because soil gives plants a place to anchor their roots and it also provides the plant with essential nutrients.
A fern plant in forest habitat
Ferns and horsetails are well-known seedless vascular plants. Different from mosses, ferns have branched spore producing structures which allows for the plant to produce many spores. The spots on the leaves of the fern contain the spores.
A dam in the middle of a river
Dams have negative impacts on the plants and animals that have adapted to the specific movement of natural rivers and streams. Dams also cause temperature changes, erosion, and movement of sediment that are deadly to many organisms.

What is the genome made of?
Genomes are composed of DNA, and a knowledge of the structure of DNA is essential to understand how it can function as hereditary material. DNA is remarkable, breathtakingly simple in its structure yet capable of directing all the living processes in a cell, the production of new cells and the development of a fertilized egg to an individual adult. DNA has three key properties: it is relatively stable; its structure suggests an obvious way in which the molecule can be duplicated, or replicated;

Aram Khachaturian was a Soviet Armenian composer who lived from 1903-1978. His music was influenced by Armenian Folk Music. He composed various piano works, as well as concertos for violin, cello and piano. He is probably best know for the piece Sabre Dance and the film music for Spartacus.
TALAT Lecture 3210: Continuous Casting
This lecture gives an overview about the possibilities to produce aluminium foilstock and wire-bar in a continuous way. Continuous casting is the preferred casting method in modern plants because it offers higher productivity. But there are limitations in the use of this technology because not all alloys can be cast. The product shows properties that can differ from conventional material. This lecture demonstrates the principal of operation; technologies for continuous casting; types of casters;
Waterwheel Work
Students learn the history of the waterwheel and common uses for water turbines today. They explore kinetic energy by creating their own experimental waterwheel from a two-liter plastic bottle. They investigate the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine into work, and experiment with how weight affects the rotational rate of the waterwheel. Students also discuss and explore the characteristics of hydroelectric plants.
Falling Water
Students drop water from different heights to demonstrate the conversion of water's potential energy to kinetic energy. They see how varying the height from which water is dropped affects the splash size. They follow good experiment protocol, take measurements, calculate averages and graph results. In seeing how falling water can be used to do work, they also learn how this energy transformation figures into the engineering design and construction of hydroelectric power plants, dams and reservoi

Tougher Crops for a Warmer World
Trying to grow plants in Australian conditions is challenging - it always seems to be too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, too salty, too infertile. And it is likely to get harder as the effects of climate change become increasingly apparent. The economic and social effects of our harsh environment are significant, reducing yield for farmers and making the sustainable use of land difficult.

We're always excited to introduce a new 787 operator. Today, Neos became the first airline in Italy to announce it will fly the Dreamliner. Neos will lease two 787-8s from International Lease Finance Corporation.
Italy already plays a key role in the production of the 787, with Boeing supplier Alenia Aermacchi's factories in Grottaglie (Taranto), Foggia and Pomigliano (Naples) producing the central fuselage and horizontal stabilizer for the Dreamliner. In fact, the 787 Dream Tour made a stop in Taranto back in May of 2012.
The Dream Tour airplane makes a stop in Italy to visit our suppliers in 2012.
While we welcome Neos as a future 787 operator, the 787 program is in the middle of a very busy year. This year alone, 12 more customers will take delivery of their first Dreamliner. It's an amazing fact— and exciting to see so many liveries coming out of our factories.
The 787s for Neos will expand the Milan-based carrier's route options starting in 2018. Congratulations and welcome to the 787 family.

Moran goes yard in first pro at-bat
As brother plays in All-Star Game, first-rounder starts career
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | July 17, 2013 8:19 PM ET
Wednesday was a fun day for the Moran family.
Brian Moran, a reliever with Tacoma, hurled a scoreless fifth inning at the Triple-A All-Star Game. For most families, that would've been plenty to celebrate.
Not to be outdone, younger brother Colin Moran -- this year's sixth overall Draft pick -- made his professional debut in Miami's farm system. The 20-year-old made a fine first impression, slugging a homer in his first at-bat for Class A Greensboro in a 4-3 win over Charleston.
The Marlins selection homered to right field off Charleston starter Dan Camarena with two outs and nobody on in the first inning. He followed with a flyout to center field in the third, a groundout in the sixth and a walk in the eighth.
"It feels like Opening Day all over again," Moran told the Greensboro News Observer before the game. "I'm really excited to get my professional career underway.
The North Carolina product's debut was about an hour's drive from the campus in Chapel Hill.
"When I found out I was coming here, I was pretty excited," Moran said. "It's right down the road from where I went to school, so I'm pretty familiar with the area."
Prior to the Draft, MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo pegged Moran as the sixth-best prospect in this year's class. Mayo touted the left-handed hitter's projectable frame and polish as a hitter, guessing that his potentially plus hit tool would allow him to generate more power as he fills in his 6-foot-3, 209-pound frame. Defensively, Mayo suggested Moran should be an average MLB defender at third, even if he isn't the fastest runner.
Moran was the latest in a run of Tar Heels to be plucked in the first round. Dustin Ackley and Alex White were selected by the Mariners and Indians respectively in 2009. The next year, the Mets plucked Matt Harvey, and then in 2011, Minnesota nabbed Levi Michael.
Moran is the sixth UNC product to go in the first round since 2006, giving the Tar Heels more first-round selections than any other program.
He's also the nephew of fellow UNC product and 1985 No. 1 overall pick B.J. Surhoff. Like his uncle, Moran is chasing an older brother to get to the Major Leagues. While Surhoff followed older brother Rick, Moran's brother is a left-hander in Seattle's farm system. The 24-year-old has a 2.54 ERA in 34 appearances with four saves and 64 strikeouts in 46 innings for the Rainiers.
On Wednesday, while Colin was rounding the bases in Greensboro, Brian was prepping to play in the Triple-A midsummer classic. Moran pitched the fifth inning of the game, recording two strikeouts and allowing a hit in a scoreless frame.
For Colin Moran, the appearance wasn't his first in Greensboro's NewBridge Bank Park. The stadium held the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in 2012, and Moran played three games at the ballpark. The home run was still his first in Greensboro.
"I remember not doing too well," Moran said jokingly of the ACC tournament. "But I like the park and the field is nice. So I'm excited to play here."
Moran is likely to finish out the season with the Hoppers, and has already been told he will play in the Arizona Fall League after the season. He's also been informed he'll be attending big league camp with Miami next spring.
"No one has higher expectations of themselves than me," Moran said. "I think I can do a lot to help the team win, offensively and defensively, and I'm just going to try to be a smart player."

(Infographic) The Top 10 Regrets In Life By Those About To Die
Last year we shared with you The Top 5 Regrets Of The Dying. We were inspired by Bronnie Ware who originally created the article so we decided to interview a number of patients ourselves in palliative care units and nursing homes who are seeing their last days to share their regrets in life.
Their answers were highly memorable so we have decided to create an Infographic of 'The Top 10 Regrets In Life By Those About To Die' for the world to share and learn from, before it's too late.
(Infographic) The Top 10 Regrets In Life By Those About To Die
The Top 10 Regrets in Life By Those About to Die
1. "Never pursuing dreams and aspirations"
The number one regret we found that people have on their death beds is that they were never brave enough to pursue their dreams, but settled for what others expected of them. When they look back at their lives, they tend to recall their unreached goals and aspirations. They are often haunted by decisions that resulted in the lives they ended up with.
While you still have a lot of years to live, be sure to make some time for reaching your dreams. Start working toward your goals now; don't keep putting things off until it's too late.
2. "I worked too much and never made time for my family"
Excessive dedication to work causes a person to spend less time with their loved ones. Parents can even miss out on the lives of their children, because they spent their best years pursuing careers and making money.
Everybody needs to work to generate income, and money is necessary to sustain our lifestyles. But don't ever sacrifice your family time just to make more money. It would do you good to determine what is really important. Do away with unnecessary expenses and things that only crowd your life – this will make room for improved relationships and better lifestyle choices.
3. "I should have made more time for my friends"
When health and youth have faded, people realize what are truly valuable – they find that all their income and achievements amount to nothing in the end. What really matters in those last few moments are the people who are dear to them. At that time, they tend to miss their friends.
It's so easy to get lost in the daily grind that you forget to take care of your relationships. If you don't intentionally stay in touch, you may lose contact with your friends through the years.
4. "I should have said 'I Love You' a lot more"
The importance of love becomes more pronounced towards the end of life. At this time, unreturned of love will also be more painful.
It can be hard to tell someone that you love them, especially if you fear rejection. But not being able to express those feelings will leave an unsettled need in you, and possibly affect all future relationships. If you are afraid of getting hurt, remember that it's better to make your love known than to spend the rest of your life dwelling on what could have been.
5. "I should have spoken my mind instead of holding back and resenting things"
A lot of people choose not to confront those who offend them, thinking that this would keep things civil. In truth, suppressing anger breeds bitterness, which leads to various diseases. Harboring bitterness also makes you emotionally crippled and prevents you from fulfilling your true potential.
If you want to have healthy relationships, honesty and confrontation are necessary. The common misconception about confrontation is that it creates division. In reality, if it's done kindly and constructively, confrontation deepens mutual respect and understanding. When you express negative emotions properly, it also allows you to let go of the resentment so you don't have to carry it for the rest of your life.
6. "I should have been the bigger person and resolved my conflicts"
A lot of times, death beds and funerals are more miserable because of broken relationships that were never restored. Relationships are ruined when misunderstandings are not dealt with immediately; this may result in a lifetime of hostility.
Conflicts are a part of life; you can't avoid them, but you should never let your anger last for more than a day. Choose to forgive. Right the wrongs that you can, while you can.
7. "I wish I had children"
As people age, they often feel lonely and long for the company of their sons and daughters. Those who never had children often have regrets about having no one to comfort them or inherit their legacy.
With today's modern thinking, kids may be viewed as inconveniences or hindrances to pursuing your goals. But keep in mind that your children will be the ones to show you love when you are old. They will also be the ones to whom you will entrust everything you've worked hard for after you're gone.
8. "I should have saved more money for my retirement"
Failing to plan for the retirement years leaves people destitute in their old age. When that happens, their last moments on earth can be very difficult and miserable.
While you are young, you might not yet grasp the reality of retirement, but it's important to make a plan for yourself. Be careful not to spend too much on things you think you need now; think about providing a comfortable life for yourself in the future.
9. "Not having the courage to live truthfully"
Looking back, people would wonder whether things would have been better if they were truly honest about who they really are. They think about the distress they caused themselves and others by pretending to be someone they're not. You will naturally have concerns about whether people would reject you or accept you if you came clean; you might find it easier to compromise yourself just to be liked or loved. There are some situations when things need to be kept hidden, but honesty is generally admired. If you are reviled for who you really are, then that's how you can determine the people who really love you. If you don't yet have the courage to be truthful to others, you can start being truthful to yourself.
10. "Happiness is always a choice, I wish I knew that earlier"
People rarely realize that they can choose to be happy. It's so easy to play the victim of circumstance and prevent yourself from moving on in your life. You tend to settle for mediocrity because it's familiar; you pretend to be content because you're too afraid to explore.
Make a choice to have a happy life. Be unafraid of change, and don't worry about what others think of you. Learn to relax and appreciate the good things.

having children adds meaning to life , whats the point of having a lot in terms of material value when yull only leave them behind when yu die . children are your legacy
Having kids isn't about whether or not they do anything for you. It's about the the life process of giving love and helping another human being grow and mature into a beautiful person and all the joys and challenges that go with it. Having kids isn't about what they do for you.
I am a widow and I saw so many regrets in husbands eyes, wished he had been there more and cried when he realised he was not going to see his boys become what he had wished for. Since then I think of death every second. A friend asked me why I love my boys, I felt it was stupid u "ve got to love yr kids. That's what u were made for as soon as u made the decision to have children, give all and expect little. Them being happy, kind and basically doing the right thing makes it all worthwhile.
Develop Charity, kindness, and giving. These 3 will leave you with a tangible joy few people find. Charity will help you appreciate all people and love them for who they are and not what you think they are. Kindness will return to you 100 fold. Giving will help you forget your own troubles, will bless others, will lift you, and what you give will come back to you 1000 times more. These are simple laws of the universe just like the law of gravity or the law of thermal dynamics. Once a person can live by simple laws of the universe they will die with little regrets!
Errr 5 I mean lol.
Agree with 7 except not realistic because confrontation requires the person being confronted to be willing to listen also. Unfortunately that's not always the case.
Number 7 is stupid…Having kids is absolutely no guarantee that they will be there when you need them or that they will love you. There is also the fillers called nieces and nephews too… Im sure that 99% of the time they do love you and they will be there but you should have kids just so that there will be "somene there to take care of me and love me"..that in itself is stupid. Sadly, the way some of these generations are, our generation will die alone anyway because they were raised to be selfish and think of themselves anyway. Seen it happen.
I see where you are coming from and you're right – it's never a guarantee. But it's also not a guarantee those nephew and niece 'fillers' will be there either … Also, we were all once kids no? Otherwise we wouldn't be here talking. this means someone gave us the chance to be a 'nuisance' and 'hindrance' to them so that one day we can grow up and make something of ourselves – why not return the favour? My 2 cents though …
Thank you so much for posting this! I feel it is very selfish to have children so they can "take care" of me when I'm on my deathbed. It is a personal and financial decision, not too mention having the right partner to create them with. If you are going to have children, raise them to be kind, hardworking, honest and compassionate. As far as inheritance and a legacy that will go to their children…if someone out there doesn't have anyone to leave their inheritance to…I am available! lol

Camp Humphreys (Korean: 캠프 험프리스), also known as United States Army Garrison-Humphreys (USAG-H), is a United States Army garrison located near Anjeong-ri and Pyeongtaek metropolitan areas in South Korea.[1] Camp Humphreys is home to Desiderio Army Airfield, the busiest U.S. Army airfield in Asia. In addition to the airfield, there are several U.S. Army direct support, transportation, and tactical units located there, including the Combat Aviation Brigade, 2d Infantry Division.
In 2004, an agreement was reached between the United States and South Korean governments to move all U.S. forces to garrisons south of the Han River and relocate the United States Forces Korea and United Nations Command Headquarters to Camp Humphreys.[2] Those movements are expected to be completed by 2016 and will transform Camp Humphreys into the largest U.S. Army garrison in Asia.[3] Under that plan, the 28,500 U.S. troop presence in South Korea will be consolidated by 2016 and United States Forces Korea will move from Seoul to Camp Humphreys.[4][5]

The town of Anjeong-ri is located adjacent to the Camp Humphreys main gate. Smaller farming villages are located along the perimeter.[6]
The installation covers an area of 1,210 acres. As part of the Yongsan Relocation Plan, that number will grow by 2,328 acres to 3,538 acres.
The immediate area around Camp Humphreys is mostly agricultural and consists mainly of rice fields. There are some rolling hills in the vicinity, but for the most part the elevations are less than 150 feet. There is a small mountain range about seven miles south of Camp Humphreys, with peaks reaching 958 feet in elevation. Larger mountains are located to the northeast, east, and southwest, all within 20 miles with peaks reaching to 2,293 feet in elevation to the south and 1,000 feet in elevation to the southeast. Urban areas are situated mostly to the northeast of the airfield. Seoul is located approximately 55 miles northeast.
The Ansong River flows from the east to west toward the West Sea and passes three miles northwest of the airfield. About 12 miles west of Camp Humphreys, the river widens and empties into the Asan Bay, near Koon-ni Range.
The numerous areas of water around Camp Humphreys has an effect on the weather. The abundant moisture is responsible for most of the fog and stratus which occurs in the area. This is especially true from the spring through fall.
The history of Camp Humphreys dates back to the beginning of the 20th century when, in 1919 the Japanese military built the Pyeongtaek Airfield. Later, during the Korean War, Pyeongtaek Airfield was named K-6 after being repaired and enhanced by the U.S. Air Force to accommodate a U.S. Marine Air Group and the 614th Tactical Control Group.[7]
In 1962, the base was renamed Camp Humphreys in honor of Chief Warrant Officer Benjamin K. Humphreys, a pilot assigned to the 6th Transportation Company, who died in a helicopter accident.[8]
In 1964, Humphreys District command (later re-designated as the 23rd Direct Support Group) was activated as a separate installation command of the Eighth U.S. Army providing all direct support, supply and maintenance, storage of all conventional ammunition in Korea, Adjutant General publications and training aides and the Eighth U.S. Army Milk Plant.[9]
In 1974, with the activation of the 19th Support Brigade, Camp Humphreys was redesignated as U.S. Army Garrison, Camp Humphreys. USAG-Camp Humphreys was still responsible for all affairs affecting personnel stationed at Camp Humphreys, but the 19th Support Command was responsible for all support activities vital to the Eighth U.S. Army and its subordinate units. Those units formerly reporting to the 23rd Direct Support Group reported to the 19th Support Command in Daegu. Only the basic functions remained with USAG Camp Humphreys.[9]
Later, the 23rd Direct Support Group and 19th Support were renamed 23rd Support Group and 19th Theater Army Area Command. On 17 June 1996 the United States Army Support Activity Area III (USASA Area III) was established and made responsible for the peacetime support mission for Camp Humphreys, Camp Long, Camp Eagle and U.S. Army units assigned to Suwon Airbase.[9]
On 1 June 2005, the U.S. Army announced that Camps Eagle and Long would close. Both camps were then later closed on 4 June 2010, consolidating installation support activities on Camp Humphreys.[9]
2005 protests[edit]
Following a series of large protests against the South Korean and American governments' plan to expand Camp Humphreys to make it the main base for most U.S. troops in South Korea, residents of Daechuri and other small villages near Pyeongtaek agreed to a government settlement to leave their homes in 2006 and allow for the base expansion.[10][11] Compensation for the land averaged 600 million won (about 600,000 USD) per resident.[12]
Under a 2004 land-swap pact, the U.S. promised to gradually return a combined 170 square kilometers of land housing 42 military bases and related facilities to South Korea and move U.S. military forces from garrisons in and north of Seoul to Camp Humphreys.[4]

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/User:Jim Groovester/Academia
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Academia
My first semi-complete article in a pretty long time. It's not what you think it's about. I think it's pretty funny, but very much so incomplete and in need of some serious polish. Along with your comments, please tell me where I can go buy some article polish, and what brand you recommend.
I think the history section goes on for too long, and might be better suited as a sub-page to the main article. Also, I think the tone may be inconsistent, since this was written piece-meal over the course of several days, with various moods. Of course, there are probably other problems, too.
So have a go at it, ye newly invigorated pee reviewers, and learn the benefits of a higher education. Sir Groovester | Contributions | Talk Page 06:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

|* Intro [8]
Pretty good intro, actually. Something I didn't expect.
somewhat rambling, but I understood what you were talking about (philosophy major, holla). You could leave out that weirdness about Socrates and still have a solid section.
more than average rambling. I still understood it, but it was fairly boring. I'm not sure you need this section. The gutenburg thing was weird, granted, but not necessary. Bringing in the TMNT was unexpected, and helped the score on this section.
Lol, uh, I don't really remember that in intro. REALLY random plus no ass-kicking?! Unless Renee Descartes kicked the universe's "ass".
Leibniz... oh man... uh anyway, yeah slightly better. I think the problem with 1.2 and 1.3 is simple continuity and the "nobody-cares" factor. This one avoids both problems barely.
heh heh. wormholes. heh heh. Is that an in-depth review, Mr. Groovester????
Again, rambling. I'm starting to see your writing style is more formal and serious than average. That would work well for something not formal and serious instead of a treatise on the parody of academia, which is what this apparently is.
Funny, but, unlike every other section in this article, it's not long enough.
What the... okay?
Sounds pretty kickass. This is an okay length.
That's fine.
|above average concept here.
|Prose and formatting:
|The only problem I had was that it wasn't broken up enough. Other than that, this was written really
|You had a good concept going with the pictures.
|Final Score:
|I think I basically laid out the problems here. I'm not quite sure that this is VFH, it needs some more work. The problems that I saw were along the lines of "too long" and "too random". Hope I helped... you maniac... :D
