You go through many transitions, or changes, in your life. They can
be good, bad, or just something different. Transitions include getting married
or divorced, moving, a new baby, a new job, or changes in your health.
All transitions can be stressful. Even a good transition, such as
getting a better job, is a change and can cause stress.
During a transition, you may not feel sure of yourself. You may feel
that you have lost something or feel nervous about the change. If you feel this
way during a transition, you may notice more intense symptoms of
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The worries that a transition brings usually go away as you adjust to
the change. To help yourself during this time, you can:
If your PTSD symptoms are still bad months after the transition, see
your doctor.

The following questions was posted on the bleeding in early pregnancy page
Hi Jane -I am 9 weeks pregnant with my 3rd pregnancy, yesterday after going to the toilet I wiped and there was one wipe of bright red blood but no more and nothing else since, no cramping or anything. I have a prolapsed vaginal wall (due to first pregnancy) and have to help by pressing when having a bowel movement, could the blood have been from a scratch? I haven't been to the ER or doctors as there was only the one wipe of blood and I didn't want to seem panicky.
Have you experienced something similar? What did you do? What happened after you find the small amount of bright red blood?
Sometimes you can have a small amount of bright red blood after sex (or the following morning). Sometimes it happens for no reason that can be identified. If there is no further bleeding just mention it to your midwife or doctor at the next visit. If you have a negative blood group - contact your midwife or doctor for advise.

In Remembrance by Tom Cooper
8 March 2010 — Layafette, IN
Roger and I were best of friends all through our school years from when I first met him in 3rd grade in 1957 until we graduated from high school together in 1966. Rog was a fun loving guy, a hard worker, wanted nothing more than to just farm like his dad and was a good athlete. We were on a number of ball teams together thru the years. I remember in 1968 while I was going to college, going to a Ponderosa steak house one evening and seeing an old girl friend of Roger's who was working there at the time. I came thru the food line and she said hi to me and asked if I'd heard about Roger Ward and I said I hadn't and she told me what had happened and that moment was etched in my mind forever. I have told that story a million times. I wish I could have seen my friend before he went away. He was a good man. I have the utmost respect for him and for every other man and women who served in that godforsaken war. I'll see ya another day Rog. ~ Tom Cooper

Topic: Next CC Connection meeting?
Ok, so I dropped the ball again! November is almost here.... Any availability issues for the 12, 13, or 14th for lunch?
I figure Peddlers Village could be fun. And you can get some holiday shopping done! lol There are a few interesting stores there. Unfortunately, it isn't cheap so lunch will probably be more in the $10-20 range. I think the Cock & Bull restaurant is pretty central in the Village. How is noon for everyone?

New Humble Bundle Offers Games From Square Enixby Brandon Chester on 7/22/2014 3:45 PM EST

Wreckage - Tuesday, July 22, 2014 - link2 great bundles in a row and the money goes to charity. Win,win. I've spent a lot of money on that site. Reply
bnjohanson - Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - linkWhat is this excitement and fascination with "...and the money goes to charity ! ".
Two things and two things only can explain this faux aggrandizement and I will attribute any and all push-back regarding the following are by the same pathetically naive and laughably in-denial useful idiots as per consistent with the qualities illustrated in the following:
1. The furiously annoying typical Liberal, Obama-loving guilty conscience that is always weighing down these emotionally bankrupt fools and arch enemies of this Country; and
2. The equally consistent anti-business Liberal loon successfully brainwashed by the Department of Education to reflexively, at all cost, DESPISE having to support anything in the Private Sector operating via any and all Capitalistic methods. Typical "give me" and " I take thee", but "I give nothing in return" type BS and to redirect any funds...if even to a fraudulent charity is a successful transaction. "BUT MAKE SURE TO GIVE ME MY PRODUCTS"
Finally, these same idiots could care less that they supply the fuel that enables 98% of these charities to operate via a business model of purely fraudulent activity because these same folks only care about some typically selfish BS like, "I did a good deed today, therefore I can continue to remain a low-information idiot in society, a full-time narcissist, and proceed further in living my wasted life as a total liability on the backs of those that actually contribute for a living".
So, how do you like those apples ?
ol1bit - Tuesday, February 17, 2015 - linkI already have all of those. :-( Reply
jvl - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkIt should be noted Square Enix didn't develope Deus Ex - they just bought Eidos (who again were only the money behind...).
For once I wouldn't feel bad not to give them any splits - though yes, that might influence whether there will be more bundles. Reply
seamonkey79 - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkI caught the same thing and didn't give them a split... though some of that could be due to the inclusion of Daikatana, which really should have been buried out in the desert with E.T. Reply
TreeDude62 - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - linkFunny, both games have been patched by the community to fix many of the issues that made them so terrible. ET has a ROM floating around that uses a few lines of code to make the game playable and Daikatana has a 1.3 patch (the official version is 1.2) that is still being actively worked on. The biggest issues left are the friendly AI doing what they are supposed to, but overall it makes the game much more playable. Reply

John Tortorella on the team… "I think we have a plan. I think that it is very important to have a plan. I like the youth that we have infused. I think we have used our minor league system. The foundation, the guts of this team is our guys. I think we are only going to get better. I think we created an identity."
Henrik Lundqvist on the year… "I think last year was really tough. This year, it feels like we have been consistent the whole year. We had a couple bumps here and there. It is hard to be satisfied or disappointed right now. If we are in, I think it is a great year. If not, you cannot be happy about the year. We will see."
Chris Drury on his goal… "You don't want to give them a chance to get comfortable with the lead and build momentum off of it. Anytime you give up a goal you try to respond the right way and as fast as you can."

Metal matters - that is the message recycling experts want to get across as a new campaign is launched.
Sutton Council launched the MetalMatters campaign to encourage people to recycle things like tins, cans, aerosol bottles, foil, jar lids and other metal items and is sending leaflets around to reinforce the message.
The leaflets tell people their cans could be recycled and back on supermarket shelves in a little as six weeks and that metal recycling saves energy, cuts carbon emissions and saves money for taxpayers by avoiding landfill charges.
Councillor Colin Hall, Deputy Leader of Sutton Council said: "Recycling one tonne of aluminium saves nine tonnes of Co2 emissions - the equivalent of driving nearly 3,000 miles. Every tonne of recycled steel saves 40 per cent of the water required for virgin steel, saves half a tonne of coal, and uses only a quarter of the energy.
"Whilst most residents already recycle their food and drink cans, the Metal Matters campaign highlights the fact that sweet and biscuit tins, empty aerosols, foil trays, kitchen foil, metal bottle tops and jar lids can also be recycled."
The cost of the six-week campaign is being met by Recycle for London, waste disposal firm Viridor and other organisations in the recycling industry.

Astros power to series win in Seattle
SEATTLE -- The Astros' true offensive identity probably lies somewhere in the middle of the scuffling, strikeout-prone club we saw the first week of the season and the mashers who flexed their muscles in the final two games against the Mariners.
As the Astros packed their bags to head south to face the struggling Angels this weekend in their inaugural trip around the American League West, they can only hope the sudden surge in run production is here to stay.
Coming off one of their biggest offensive performances in years, the Astros clubbed three home runs on Wednesday night, including two-run shots from Rick Ankiel and red-hot Chris Carter, to beat the Mariners, 8-3, at Safeco Field for their second straight victory.
"You always want to score early, especially after the game we had last night and knowing their bullpen was kind of thin," Astros manager Bo Porter said, referring to Tuesday's 22-hit, 16-9 win in which the Astros knocked out the Mariners' starting pitcher in the first inning.
The Astros took two of three games from the Mariners to win a series for the first time this season, scoring 24 runs and racking up 37 hits in the final two games, the most they've had in a two-game span since tying the club record with 39 hits against the Cubs at Wrigley Field Sept. 8-9, 2000.
Carter, who went 4-for-6 with a pair of homers on Tuesday, added three more hits Wednesday, including a two-run homer in the seventh inning that put Houston ahead, 7-3, and kept the Mariners from clawing back from a 5-0 hole.
"The long balls definitely help, they're definitely game-changing and it's good to see Carter kind of getting into a groove," Porter said. "It was good to see Ankiel get that big hit. He had been in a little bit of a funk, but he got back in there today and hit a big two-run homer."
Marwin Gonzalez, who Porter said prior to the game was going to get more playing time at shortstop, homered in the eighth for his second of the series and finished 2-for-3 to raise his batting average to .444. That stretched the Houston lead to 8-3.
The Astros raised their team batting average to .263 from .201 in the final two games against the Mariners and hit eight home runs, swinging the bats the way they did for much of Spring Training. Houston could hardly get anything going offensively after beating the Rangers to start the season, losing six in a row prior to Tuesday's outburst.
"You've got to tip your hats," Mariners shortstop Brendan Ryan said. "They grinded out their at-bats and they pulled out a couple of victories, but when they're finding the barrel that much, they're doing some things right and they're laying off some bad pitches and putting the good ones in play and making us pay. At the same time, not every one of them has to go in the gap or over the fence. That's just the way it goes, I guess."
Astros right-hander Brad Peacock (1-1), making his second start of the season and fourth of his career, worked five-plus innings and allowed four hits, including solo homers to Kelly Shoppach and Franklin Gutierrez, for his first win since 2011, when he was with the Nationals.
"You always want to go five, six innings, but I just tried to keep the ball down tonight, and I did for the most part," Peacock said. "I had a good curveball and changeup and felt like I mixed my pitches well tonight. I just made a couple of mistakes and paid for it."
And he's glad the Astros didn't use up all their offense Tuesday.
"I had a good feeling about today," he said. "They definitely carried it over and swung the bats awesome and played great defense behind me."
Third baseman Matt Dominguez made another terrific defense play, diving to his right to snag a Kyle Seager grounder in the second and throwing him out with a one-hop strike to first base. In the sixth inning, Ankiel made a diving catch of a sinking liner in right field with a runner on first base for a key out.
"It just seems like everybody is doing their job and what they're capable of doing, and hopefully we can continue down this path and keep having fun," Ankiel said.
After a six-run outburst in the first inning on Tuesday, the Astros' offense got going nearly as fast in the finale, scoring three times in the second. J.D. Martinez had a sacrifice fly to get Houston on the board, and Ankiel followed with his homer to center to snap an 0-for-13 drought.
"I've been in a little funk earlier, but that was a good swing and it felt good," Ankiel said. "For myself, too, I'm hoping to continue down that path."
The Astros pushed the lead to 5-0 in the third on an RBI single by Carlos Pena and an RBI double by Martinez that scored Pena all the way from first base.
"Even when a maybe a lot of people around the ballclub were panicking, I never saw any panic from any of those guys in there, and there was never any panic from a staff standpoint and organizational standpoint," Porter said. "We all understand the game of baseball and we know it can be very streaky from an offensive standpoint. Hitting is contagious, just like the same way a few guys get into a slump it can be contagious. It's good to see them keeping the line moving."

Comparison of level term and annual term premiums
Term life insurance comes in many different forms, but they all provide insurance protection for a fixed period of time. Annual renewable term (which in the past was the most prevalent form sold) provides coverage one year at a time. Each year as the policy premium increases, the insured has the option of renewing the coverage for the next year. There are no physical exams to pass--paying your premium continues the policy. As the chart illustrates, the premium for annual renewable term insurance can increase dramatically from one year to the next.

POLICE have arrested a man from Stoke Poges on suspicion of terrorism offences with links to Syria.
The 27-year-old was arrested on Tuesday, July 1, in connection with offences under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act; preparation of terrorism acts.
He remains on bail until August 20.
Two other men from Slough, both aged 26, have also been arrested.
One of the men was arrested under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act and has been bailed until August 19.
The other man was arrested in connection with offences under Section 17 of the Terrorism Act; financing terrorist acts. He was bailed until August 21.
Slough Deputy LPA Commander Chief Inspector Gavin Wong said: "These arrests demonstrate that positive action is being taken to safeguard members of the community from the dangers of travelling to Syria.
"The police will continue to work with our partners and community in the interests of public safety and I would ask that we all continue to discourage anyone from attempting to travel to Syria or other areas of conflict.
"While the motive may be honourable, the reality is that these areas are hugely dangerous, and it can be an opportunity to radicalise vulnerable people."

HOUSTON - The number of cases of the flu across the country and Texas are going up and millions are scrambling to get a flu shot.
The demand for the flu shot has jumped and some people are having trouble finding somewhere to get one.
"Everywhere is out," Cathy Spanheimer said. "Everywhere we have called, they are out of the shots and they are not getting any more."
Spanheimer said she has had trouble finding somewhere for her 3-year-old son to get the shot.
"Pediatrician was out. Family doctor was out. Got referred to another clinic, but they would not give him the shot because he has insurance," she said.
The Houston Health Department said there may be "spot shortages" of the flu vaccine, but orders are being refilled quickly.
"During the past week we saw a sharp increase in demand for flu shots nationwide. We have had some stores in the Houston area that experienced shortages of supply of vaccine, but most are being resupplied today and will continue to get additional shipments tomorrow and Wednesday," a Walgreen's representative said.
Walgreens officials said that if a store runs out of the shot, the store should get a new supply in a day or two. Target officials said the same thing.
The best thing to do before going out to a pharmacy to get a shot is to call ahead.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this year's vaccine can reduce a person's chances of getting the flu that results in the need for medical attention by 62 percent.
Doctors said it takes about two weeks for the shot to become the most effective.

Why don't we cycle down to Grandad's next year? It was just an idea at first; he lives over 70 miles away. But it grabbed the attention of the children. 'Could we?' they asked. 'Isn't it too far?'
There were lots of questions to be answered.
Would the children both be on their own bikes? Should I take the tandem so they could take turns on the back? How could I carry all the camping equipment? And not least: what about the dog?

UF secondary in forefront of success
Published: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 5:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 5:45 p.m.
Florida's secondary last season was best known for what it didn't do.
Didn't make enough plays. Didn't intercept enough passes. Didn't come up with critical fourth-down and fourth-quarter stops. Didn't play with confidence.
It's been a different story this season for the back end of Florida's defense.
A more experienced, more confident — and deeper — secondary has evolved into a playmaking team strength.
Two numbers jump off the stat sheet: 15 and 38. The Gators have intercepted 15 passes (after picking off only six all of last season) and broken up 38 passes, doubling their opponents' total (19).
"No. 1, I think, is having a lot of the guys back has made a big difference," defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said Wednesday. "These guys have had the opportunity to play together and communicate together.
"A year and experience in the system has to be a big factor. I'm certainly pleased with their effort and the way they've played."
Last year's secondary was young and filled with rookie starters, including two true freshmen — cornerback Marcus Roberson and safety De'Ante Saunders. The other players — cornerbacks Jaylen Watkins and Loucheiz Purifoy and safeties Matt Elam and Josh Evans — were first-time starters.
That secondary, while fast and talented, did not have playing experience in the defense and with each other — and it showed too often.
The Gators intercepted only six passes in 13 games and gave up a ton of plays.
With experience, those same players have come together to form one of the top secondaries in the SEC and nation.
The Gators lead the SEC in pass defense efficiency (87.5 percent), giving up only four touchdown passes and allowing opponents to complete less than 50 percent (49.2) of their passes.
In their most recent game-saving performance, the Gators intercepted four passes against Missouri, the final coming in the end zone with only five seconds remaining in the game.
"Last year you go into the season and I believe the first ballgame Pop and Marcus both started as true freshmen," Muschamp said. "Jaylen and Cody (Riggs) had not played a lot of snaps. Matt, was his first time as a full-time starter. Josh Evans, his first time as a full-time starter.
"So, a lot of moving parts as far as experience and what not. I'm very pleased with how they've progressed. We certainly have improved ourselves on the perimeter and the way we play and the style we play with.
"We put a lot of pressure on our corners. It's very easy to see that as far as what we do and how we do things."
Watkins said experience in the defense and familiarity with each other have made the guys in the secondary comfortable — and comfort back there usually leads to a high level of play, and that's what has happened.
"Just having four guys who played together last year. Four or five or even six guys who played together," Watkins said. "We're all on the same page, and we often just play fast and react instead of thinking. That plays a big part in balls coming our way, and we're making plays on balls.
"We haven't really dropped that many interceptions. We know how valuable they are to the team now. A lot of our turnovers have turned into touchdowns, and it's easier on the offense."
Quinn and the defensive staff put an emphasis on creating turnovers heading into last season, but they rarely came for the Gators. The result was a disappointing turnover margin of minus-eight.
This season, led by the 15 interceptions, the Gators boast a turnover margin of plus-11.
"Sometimes you get what you emphasize and we're continuing to emphasize that," Quinn said. "We're getting some results."
Muschamp said one of the strengths of the secondary is its depth. Three corners (Roberson, Watkins and Purifoy) have been competing weekly for the two corner positions, while three safeties (Elam, Evans and Saunders) have shared playing time at the two safety spots.
"Competition is my best motivator, and I've got three corners we can win with in the SEC," Muschamp said. "All those guys go out every day and they have to perform at a high level in order to start and play the number of snaps they all want to play.
"We've got good competition at safety, and we've got some young, good ones coming. Very pleased with where we are."
They're way ahead of where they were a year ago, Watkins said.
"I would say a lot of guys didn't know what they were doing," said Watkins, who is tied with Elam for the team lead in interceptions with three. "A lot of guys were (freelancing) trying to make plays.
"There's nothing wrong with trying to make a play, but sometimes when you call a scheme you just have to do your job. We've been doing that this season, and it's working out."

Bradley Roby is expecting a lot more action in Denver's rematch with Kansas City, although it'll be hard for the second-year cornerback to top what he did when the Broncos beat the Chiefs back in September.
Roby's scoop-and-score of Jamaal Charles' fumble with 27 seconds left capped a two-TD spurt in the final minute and gave the Broncos a stunning 31-24 win.
It propelled Denver to a 7-1 mark at the halfway point and sent the Chiefs (3-5) on a five-week freefall they finally halted with back-to-back wins over Pittsburgh and Detroit.
He had no tackles in 31 snaps. But after Peyton Manning capped an 80-yard drive with a 19-yard touchdown toss to Emmanuel Sanders with 36 seconds left to tie it, Alex Smith handed off to Charles, who held the ball loosely. Linebacker Brandon Marshall poked the ball free and Roby scooped it up and trotted 21 yards into the end zone.
Roby will start against the Chiefs on Sunday in place of Pro Bowl cornerback Aqib Talib, who was suspended for poking Colts tight end Dwayne Allen in the eye last week.
The Broncos also will be without pass rusher DeMarcus Ware, who aggravated a bad back last week. He'll be replaced by Shaq Barrett, and first-round draft pick Shane Ray could be back from a sprained right knee that's sidelined him for a month.
Behind Roby, Kayvon Webster will get more playing time in Talib's absence.
Talib is a big part of the reason Denver owns the NFL's top defense, so he'll definitely be missed.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid isn't breathing a sigh of relief over the loss of two of Denver's Pro Bowlers.
"They still have a pretty good defense," he said. "I don't know who's going to be there and who's not. I know that the corner is down, but they have a lot of good players there."

Crowds buying tons of stuff including snacks equals a mess esp if …
Comment on Comiket 83 Trashed "By Dirty Foreigners" by Charismatic Vampire:
Crowds buying tons of stuff including snacks equals a mess esp if there is not enough trash cans and no one is emptying them.
Charismatic Vampire made other comments on this post:
- Comiket 83 Trashed "By Dirty Foreigners":
The real reason why Japan is so clean is because generally they have very good sanitation crews who clean up any mess long before it becomes an eye sore. What's shown here was places they didn't get to yet and a lot is vender trash from the snack booths. Yep this is mostly Japanese generated trash and they probably cleaned it up soon afterwards. Big gatherings are messy affairs esp when the turnout ends up being larger then expected causing the sanitation crews to be temporarily overwhelmed.
- Comiket 83 Trashed "By Dirty Foreigners":
Even if people are making an effort to throw all their trash away things will still get messy if the trash bins are overflowing.
- Comiket 83 Trashed "By Dirty Foreigners":
@Anon 10:06 it's good to see someone from Japan make an honest post.
- Comiket 83 Trashed "By Dirty Foreigners":
I would dress them in Gundam Earth Aliance and Zeon soldier uniforms. Maybe also as Storm troopers.
- Comiket 83 Trashed "By Dirty Foreigners":
Yep now that's a mess and it does get cleaned up. Have any huge gathering of people you better have a small army of sanitation workers to clean up after them. People in general are messy creatures when they gather in large numbers.

The hardware is mediocre except for the amount and speed of memory and they pushed to hard on useless social features so no one is impressed. I think the PS4 will still be mildly successful because everyone else screwed up worse but it likely will be much shorter lived then the PS1 PS2 and PS3.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
@ Anon 03:45 I touched on the X86 thing they could have at least choose a good X86 architecture vs something so low end. Even an old Core 2 quad or quad core FX would beat it across the board when paired with a good graphics card. Heck some very fast clocked i3s duals probably are just as fast. From a hardware stand point they're not even trying.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
Editing is broke The system should in theory be easy to crack then the PS3. But even PS2 emulation may be a difficult on the PS4 due to the use of 8 shit tier X86 cores vs four fast ones. The emulator would have to be fairly multithreaded like anything else on the console must be. There is Gaikai streaming but it's at best a half assed solution that would demand a fast connection and nearby servers to be useable plus the ridiculousness of paying for old games.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
Most consoles don't need an internet connection to play single player games even Steam's off line mode is kinda crappy so you end up having to crack your steam games if you want to play them off line. BTW I covered to lack of backwards compatibility on the PS4. The fact they used 8 shit tier X86

Interview with Bill Carriere, Grades & Standards Committee Chairman
The Carriere family has been farming in California since 1890 and we have been growing walnuts since the early 1960s. We are proud to now be growers, processors, handlers and marketers of California walnuts.
Describe your involvement with the walnut industry and a brief history of Carriere Family Farms.
The Carriere family has been farming in California since 1890 and we have been growing walnuts since the early 1960s. We are proud to now be growers, processors, handlers and marketers of California walnuts. Many growers and handlers are long time industry families and my goal at Carriere Family Farms is to continue to be a responsible contributing member of the walnut industry family for the long term. I have been lucky enough to serve with the California Walnut Board since 2001. I have served on several committees over the years and currently serve as chairman of the Grades and Standards Committee.
What is the responsibility of the Grades and Standards Committee and what role do you have within the committee?
As chairman of the Grades and Standards Committee it is my job to make sure that the California Walnut Industry reputation is protected. We are known worldwide as quality leaders and one of the main purposes of the Walnut Marketing Order is to put policies and rules in place to maintain that reputation. I feel that we have a marketing advantage over our competitors because California Grades and Standards are well known and recognized for their consistency with customers around the world. When we ship US#1 product the customer knows exactly what to expect. The last thing a customer wants is a surprise in quality with a delivery. It is the Grades and Standards that we have set and enforce that eliminate these surprises.
How have the responsibilities of the Grades and Standards Committee changed in the past few years?
With the recent public focus on food safety, the Grades and Standards Committee has taken on the additional responsibility of upholding not just our quality reputation but our food safety reputation. The Walnut industry has been very proactive over the past few years with regard to food safety. We want to continue to stay ahead of the curve in regards to the Food Safety Modernization Act and any potential new regulations or requirements that will certainly come out of this legislation. By being proactive we can be ready to leverage our already well respected reputation and have the data available to make the changes necessary to improve our food safety record. In addition we will have this data to show that extreme measures hopefully will not be needed to keep walnuts safe.
What have been some of the most important achievements of the committee?
Over the past few years I feel that three of the more important achievements have been; 1) Defending current quality standards in the European Union (EU), 2) Recognizing and responding to the increase in in-shell sales, 3) Building our database of research to defend our food safety reputation and to research ways to improve food safety in the future.
1) We successfully delayed and then negotiated a satisfactory revision to the EU standards for walnuts. The EU and especially Germany was trying to tighten the standards which would have severely restricted our ability to economically ship walnuts to Europe.
2) We responded to the call from industry to recognize the shift to selling traditionally shelled varieties as in-shell. We debated, reviewed and revised the size standards to match shipper and customer requirements while still keeping controls on quality at high levels.
3) With the help of growers, handlers, DFA, and Dr. Linda Harris we have substantially built our database of knowledge of the potential threats to food safety. From the field, through the huller, and through the shelling and packaging process we have baseline data for the potential of contaminants such as salmonella and E-coli. We also have tested and have data on what processes might reduce our contamination potential, and just as importantly, what efforts do not help and are just a waste of time and money.
What are the challenges that lie ahead for the committee and as well, the walnut industry?
Our industry will continue to change. New plantings are everywhere; there are many new growers, new handlers, and hopefully many new customers and uses for California walnuts. One challenge will be to keep our own industry informed on the latest developments in quality and safety requirements which will help to keep our industry competitive and profitable.
Another challenge is the speed at which information, and mis-information, travels. With traditional media going digital, as well as social media spreading information rapidly, we need to constantly monitor what is happening in the market place and again be proactive to correct or inform stakeholders on the inevitable issues that we will encounter. An example of how we are already confronting this challenge is our Crisis CommunicationsPlan that we recently put in place. If we do have an incident involving food safety we will know what is going on as much as possible in real time.
We are experiencing very good times at the moment, as volume grows and more and more customers enjoy our product we need to be prepared for the bumps in the road. I feel that being proactive, including the hiring of our full time, knowledgeable and dedicated staff in Carl Eidsath and AbhiKulkarni will ensure that any challenges that we face will be handled as efficiently and with as little disruption to the industry as possible.

The deputy manager of a care home who stole £1,750 from a vulnerable resident has avoided jail.
Nicola Wells withdrew money from the bank account of a 78-year-old woman over seven months at Brooklyn House, in Nelson Road, Clacton, where residents include dementia sufferers.
She was sacked when her bosses found out.
Wells, 46, of Elmden Court, Clacton, admitted theft at Colchester Magistrates' Court yesterday, and was given an 18-month suspended prison sentence.
She was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.
Robin Orbell, chairman of the bench, said: "You are very lucky not to be going to prison immediately."

Minor outduels Lester as Braves sweep A's
Atlanta lefty allows two runs over seven; J. Upton, Johnson homer
ATLANTA -- If this was a glimpse of what Mike Minor might have to offer over the next six weeks, the Braves have reason to feel optimistic about their future, which was brightened on Sunday night when they completed a three-game sweep with a 4-3 win over the A's.
"That's the Mike Minor of old, being able to throw that two-seamer just like [Alex Wood] does to right-handers to freeze them with pitches," Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. "He was on tonight. He made two mistakes, but thankfully, they were solo shots."
Displaying the rejuvenated and confident spirit he gained after ineffectiveness forced the Braves to skip one of his starts earlier this month, Minor scattered four hits over seven innings and limited his damage to the two solo home runs he surrendered to Nate Freiman.
Freiman's power was not enough to overcome the support Minor received from Justin Upton, who hit a two-run shot in the fourth inning, and Chris Johnson, who delivered the decisive offensive blow with a seventh-inning solo shot off Jon Lester, who had allowed more than one home run in just two of his previous 24 starts.
With Minor rekindling the successful form he displayed much of last season, the Braves notched the win they needed to secure a winning record during this 10-game homestand that had the potential to wreck their season. They entered this stretch in the midst of an eight-game skid and managed to go 6-4 against the Nationals, Dodgers and A's, a trio of teams that were all in first place in their respective divisions when they arrived in Atlanta.
Though they still sit six games behind the Nationals in the National League East, the Braves are just 1 1/2 games back in the battle to win the second NL Wild Card spot. They are tied with a Pirates club that they will battle the next three days in Pittsburgh.
"To finish off a homestand like that against one of the best teams in the American League is definitely a big lift for us," Freeman said. "We can't standings-watch. We have to worry about ourselves going into the last 38 games we have left. We have to keep playing like we are right now."
If the Braves are going to extend this success, they will need to continue receiving production from Upton, who hit .322 (10-for-31) with four home runs during the homestand , and Freeman, who stands as the other most influential member of Atlanta's lineup. But they truly could benefit from a strong finish by Minor, who has started to look like the same pitcher who outdueled Zack Greinke in Game 2 of the NL Division Series last season.
When Minor was in the midst of producing a 7.33 ERA in the 10 starts he made from June 10-Aug. 1, he likely would not have escaped the two key jams he faced on Sunday night. After Coco Crisp began the game with a double, the Braves southpaw worked his way through the heart of the lineup and was fortunate that Johnson made a diving stab of Derek Norris' liner.
After inducing double-play grounders in the fourth and fifth innings, Minor was staring at trouble when Jonny Gomes reached second base courtesy of second baseman Phil Gosselin's inability to secure a one-out fly ball along the right-field line. Instead of buckling under the pressure, Minor proceeded to record consecutive strikeouts of a pair of right-handed hitters -- Josh Donaldson and Norris.
"I feel like I'm in a different mindset going out there," Minor said. "I really don't feel like anything bothers me anymore. I just want to go after hitters. When things happen, I want to pick up teammates, because I feel like they pick me up all of the time."
Minor still has plenty to prove over the remainder of the season. But while working into the seventh inning and allowing three earned runs or fewer in the two outings he's completed since his start was skipped, he has provided some indication that he is capable of once again looking like a front-of-the-rotation starter for the remainder of the season.
"He's got five, six or seven starts the rest of the way," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We're going to need him to get us where we want to go."

Fighting for Safe Chemicals
There is growing consensus that the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), enacted in 1976, to regulate the use of chemicals based on their risk to human health or the environment, is failing to protect Americans from toxic chemicals. In the 34 years since TSCA took effect, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been able to require testing on just 200 of the more than 80,000 new chemicals produced and used in the U.S., and just five chemicals have been regulated under this law. The surprising truth is that under current U.S. law, chemicals are allowed to enter our homes, workplaces, and communities with little or no testing for human toxicity.
Why Nurses Want Chemical Policy Reform
Because exposure in the workplace puts nurses and other health care workers at an even higher risk:
Because nurses care for those whose health has been affected by chemicals, and exposure has serious implications for public health:
ANA's Involvement
ANA's commitment to chemical policy reform began in 2006 when the ANA House of Delegates overwhelmingly passed a resolution entitled "Nursing Practice, Chemical Exposure and Right-to-Know." In this landmark resolution, our members called on us to:
Studies continue to demonstrate the links between chemicals in everyday products and serious illnesses, and because of the many chemicals nurses and other health care workers are exposed to in the workplace, they are at even higher risk. ANA strives to protect the health and well-being of the 3.1 million registered nurses whose interests we represent, as well as that of patients and communities.
We know that chemical exposure is unsafe, both for nurses and patients, and the public: it's time to change our nation's chemical policy.
ANA is one of several founding organizations belonging to the diverse and growing coalition, Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families (SCHF). ANA agrees with SCHF's TSCA Reform platform:
Current Legislation
In response to these very real concerns about TSCA, on April 15, Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced the Safe Chemicals Act of 2010 in the Senate, and Representatives Rush (D-IL) and Waxman (D-CA) released a discussion draft of the bill in the House. This long-awaited, landmark legislation would overhaul the way the federal government protects the public from toxic chemicals.
ANA and its partners in the Safer Chemicals Healthy Families Coalition lauded the latest developments as a giant step forward, but also look forward to working to strengthen the bills as they move through the process. The House Energy and Commerce Committee is currently engaging in stakeholder meetings to refine their discussion draft, and has committed to completion of committee action by mid-summer.

Magrunner: A Title That Beats Portal at its Own Game
You would think that there would be a large push to copy what made Portal successful but we have not seen that occur much. Games that are somewhat similar have come out, but they are not so much copies as they are complex puzzle games that now feel free to exist in a post-Portal world. Of course, none of these other puzzle games, such as Kim Swift's own Quantum Conundrum, have been able to cause massive excitement.
This is a shame because one game has come out recently that satisfies almost all the same mental needs that Portal did but also includes its own intriguing spin. The game I'm talking about is Magrunner: Dark Pulse which is currently available on PC. Developer Frogwares have previously worked on various Sherlock Holmes games and, while those are puzzling adventures, they are nothing like what they've come up with for Magrunner.
Many who have seen this title on Steam have likely thought it looks a heck of a lot like Portal. With little to no knowledge about the game, it actually does. It is a first-person puzzle platformer that puts a young man in a series of test chambers to solve puzzles and prove his competence. Of course, Chell's adventure through the labs of Aperture had her forced to solve a great deal of puzzles too. Magrunner's Dax even has his own technical doodad arm gun thingamajig which is the source of manipulating his environment.
On the surface it seems fair to assert that Magrunner has taken a whole lot from Portal. However, once you give the game a try you see that while there does appear to be some inspiration, it takes itself in a completely different - and very worthwhile - direction. This is primarily due to the gameplay, which could even be considered more complex than Portal (prior to the additions made by Portal 2).
The main aspect you're controlling in the game is magnetism. Only specific items in the environment are able to be magnetized and these form the basis of all puzzles. Magnetizing two or more objects causes them to attract or repel. These are the basic properties of magnetism and they are used to great effect within puzzles. Beyond this, you are able to have cumulative power if multiple magnetic fields are near enough to one another. As you might expect, there is a lot of creative uses of the forces between magnets beyond the basics.
Therein lies the great power of Magrunner as a puzzle game far more nuanced than Portal. Portal is no doubt a great game and one which was able to get creative with momentum but could have used even more. This seems the main reason why Portal 2 instituted the use of gels to add more depth to puzzles. Of course, Magrunner has no sequel planned as of yet but the base game has already spawned a great deal of tough, new types of puzzles to work through.
If there's something to dislike about the game, it's simply that there's too much variation between difficult puzzles and those that hardly count as a puzzle. In comparison, Valve were able to create a far more streamlined experience. Considering that Frogwares is not Valve, however, shows that they have still come up with a pretty phenomenal puzzler that is not seeing the kind of attention it should.
Distancing oneself from Portal while inhibiting a similar space in the genre is likely difficult to do. Some who see this game consider it and play due to an existing love for the likes of Portal. Others may come to the conclusion that nothing will ever be better than the Portal series and skip out. Of course, this long-winded comparison may further cement this notion for a few readers. But the whole thrust of this is that there is always room for more games to inhibit a genre and truly confounding puzzle games have been lacking - at least of this scope.
Although similarities are present, playing Magrunner still made me feel like a terribly unintelligent person. There were many times I knew where the game wanted me to go but had no means of getting there. Slowly uncovering the various uses of magnetic fields was challenging but exciting as well. Aside from the story, that was what most thrilled players about Portal. It was and still remains a great experience for wrapping your mind around increasingly complex puzzles. Magrunner succeeds at providing these much-needed mental exercises and is worth exploring. If you're on the fence, give it a look because it might just surprise you.

Holy fudge this looks awesome. Those screenshots look beautiful. Loving the art direction too. Man would like to get this for PC if I had a gaming PC lol. Oh well just gotta wait if they ever have a console version.
I definitely want to play this, but really the reason I love Portal so much is not really the great puzzles, but the brilliant humor and writing. Few games have managed to put a smile on my face like both those games did, and that is what I think most developers are missing when they sit set out to try and emulate what Valve seems to do so effortlessly.
I'm so glad to hear that this game is a fun and engaging puzzler, since I was worried that the intriguing concept might have taken too much precedence over the gameplay. Since that's not the case, I'll definitely have to grab this game as soon as I can, because I need another game that makes me feel good about myself every time I figure out a puzzle, and I think this one would deliver in spades.
TK: You're in luck because both PS3 and 360 will be getting Magrunner later this year . Maybe it will even hit PS Plus!
MrNinjaSquirrel: Oh I definitely know what you mean there. If there's one thing Valve did expertly it was make sure the story and writing was perfect! Although I don't think Frogwares necessarily has that same super-excellent humor about them, they still provide an intriguing (and very much different) sort of story than might be expected. I chose not to speak about that really in this piece because I think it's something that works much better when it gets revealed to the player without much prior knowledge.
Venom: Yeah, feeling accomplished over puzzles is always an excellent feeling, which is why I may seek out so many puzzle titles. I like to feel smart.
Well that's great to hear, will be sure to give this one a look when I have less of a backlog
This is definitely a title worth trying if you like Portal. Then again, like shat Ninja said, you may be turn off by it. I definitely want to try it. Seems like a gem.
Definitely interested in trying this out at some point; those screenshots look great. Hopefully I can get a new PC sometime soon so that I can play it (mine's a dinosaur >_<).

Haha same here man. I'm going to ask my friend to start looking at deals after july 1st to build me a computer. Ideally it could go into black friday when you see tons of deal and he can build me a really powerful one like he made his and it'll be at a cheaper price.

Seaman David L Bass Navy
Ireland Died 15 October 1886 (aged 43–44) Buried at Wilcox Cemetery, Little Falls, New York Allegiance United States Service/branch United States Navy Rank Seaman Unit USS Minnesota Battles/wars Medal of Honor
David L. Bass (1842 – 15 October 1886) was a Union Navy sailor in the American Civil War and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions at the Second Battle of Fort Fisher.Contents
Born in Ireland, Bass immigrated to the United States and settled in New York. He joined the US Navy and by January 1865 was serving as a seaman on the USS Minnesota. He participated in the assault on Fort Fisher near Wilmington, North Carolina. With a landing party from the Minnesota, he advanced through heavy fire toward the fort, reaching the surrounding palisades. Most of the men then made a panicked retreat, but Bass stayed on the field until darkness fell, when he and the remainder of the attacking force made an orderly withdrawal, carrying out wounded comrades, abandoned weapons, and battle flags. For these actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor on 22 June 1865.[1]
After the war, Bass lived in Little Falls, New York, and worked as a blacksmith. He died at age 43 or 44 and was buried at Wilcox Cemetery in Little Falls.[2]Medal of Honor citation
Bass' official Medal of Honor citation reads:
On board the U.S.S. Minnesota in action during the assault on Fort Fisher, 15 January 1865. Landing on the beach with the assaulting party from his ship, S/man Bass advanced to the top of the sand hill and partly through the breach in the palisades despite enemy fire which killed and wounded many officers and men. When more than two-thirds of the men became seized with panic and retreated on the run, he remained with the party until dark, when it came safely away, bringing its wounded, its arms, and its colors.[1]

Location Source is an implementation of Java's Location API (JSR-179). It is intended to give Java applications access to location data on platforms that do not have a JSR-179 implementation of their own. It currently only runs on Windows Mobile using IBM's WebSphere Everyplace Micro Edition (WEME) 6.1.1 bu can easily be extended to run on other platforms. For example, you could use it on any laptop by tying it into SkyHook's Loci API.
PyreRing is a test runner that executes scripts intended to act as individual test cases. By removing the administrative burden that often surrounds testing, the test author can focus on writing meaningful, direct, and useful test cases. As long as you wrap your test cases with a Unix shell or scripted language wrapper, it will be executed. It allows you to set a timeout value, send reports to email addresses, automatically organize your test cases with filesystem directories or suite files that you define, create automatic suites based on a predefined block in your test scripts, and capture standard out and standard error into a comprehensive log.
CTL is a cross-platform control dispatching tool that makes it easy to automate any kind of distributed systems management or application provisioning task. Rather than writing complex and error-prone scripts that over utilize "for loops", CTL handles the network dispatching for you and allows you to focus on the actual management tasks you need to accomplish. In addition to being a dispatching tool, CTL comes with pre-built cross-platform utilities so you don't have to script actions like file distribution or process and port checking. You can also write your own custom utilities and share them with others in your organization. Custom utilities are defined in XML, and your scripting can be done in multiple scripting languages (Perl, Python, etc.), *nix shell, Windows batch, and/or Ant.
JCatapult is a development platform written in Java. Built for modularization, JCatapult allows developers to build modules such as a blog, content-management system, wiki, or any other reusable set of features and use them across multiple applications. Built on top of open source technologies, JCatapult is a robust and scalable platform. However, it is also agile and lightweight because it uses a convention over configuration approach.
libapache2-mod-scramble-ip is an Apache 2 module that works like mod_removeip, but instead of just overwriting the IP address with 127.0.0.1, it encrypts the IP address. This way you always get an IP address to work with (in scripts, etc.) and have the ability to use tools like awstats to analyze your logs. It's in alpha status, but working on some Apache 2 servers, and the 'cost' (load) should be small and reasonable.

A police constable and police community support officer (PCSO) have been commended for their role in tackling robbers who struck at a Wharfedale post office.
PC Tim Brown and PCSO Darrin Thompson, based at Ilkley police station, were both injured as they grappled with hammer-wielding attackers during the raid on Burley-in-Wharfedale Post Office, Station Road, last April, and succeeded in capturing one of the robbers.
The two officers have been presented with Chief Constable's Commendations in recognition of their actions in tackling the robbers.
Members of the public were also commended by West Yorkshire Police, in the awards ceremony at Wakefield in February, for flagging down police and tackling the robbers.
PC Brown and PCSO Thompson were in a car flagged down in Burley by concerned member of the public, Marcus McLeod, on April 15 last year.
When he went into the shop, PCSO Thompson was confronted by two men in balaclavas, one wielding a sledgehammer, who were in the process of robbing the post office.
PCSO Thompson took hold of one of the men, who tried to strike him with the sledge hammer. As he continued to grapple with the man, the struggle spilled out into the street.
The second suspect, brandishing a lump hammer, attacked PCSO Thompson, repeatedly striking him, in an attempt to free his accomplice.
Mr McLeod rushed in and rugby tackled one man.
Both men broke free and started to make toward a getaway car parked nearby, the getaway driver revving the engine loudly.
PC Brown grabbed the man with the lump hammer and grappled him to the ground, where he and PCSO Thomson arrested and handcuffed him.
Another public spirited person, who asked not be named, attempted to stop the man with the sledgehammer getting into the getaway car, but was knocked to the ground by the car as it drove away.
The two officers, Mr McLeod and the other man all suffered injuries as a result of the incident – but fortunately there were no serious injuries, said West Yorkshire Police.
West Yorkshire Police said the suspect arrested at the scene had a long history of committing violent robberies. The second suspect, later identified and arrested, also has previous convictions for robbery.

Metaphorically speaking, a dinosaur is any entity lacking the capacity to adapt to environmental changes in a timely fashion. While a dinosaur may well possess the ability to adapt it may be an unfortunate accident of biology or culture that predisposes it to an internal rate of transformative change that is relatively static compared to the rate of change in the environmental factors that, normally, support and optimize conditions for its survival. This inability to match the pace of change places the dinosaur at a competitive disadvantage that eventually pushes it to the margins of relevance and results in its eventual extinction—both literal and metaphorical.
No creature would invite change for its own sake and—humans being like most other creatures—expend enormous amounts of energy attempting to stabilize our situation and achieve a form of stasis that allows us not only to survive but to thrive in relative safety and comfort. We tend towards mitigating the effects of the unknown and the unpredictable and this requires apprehending and utilizing knowledge of the environment in order that we might exploit it to advantage.
Our ability to utilize binding symbolic language and symbolic artefacts and to fashion tools that—according to Marshall McLuhan—extend, enhance and accelerate our effective selves, creates a buffer between us and a natural order that challenges us with the timeless struggle for survival.
The fact that we will soon be uneasily celebrating the turnover of our biological counter to the 7 billion mark is a testimony to how successful we have been at disconnecting from or minimizing the risks that the natural order presents. One could argue that this disconnection could be better characterized as a complete domination and subjugation of the environment that carries with it a dire corollary for our long-term survival and that the technocomplex that we created constitutes its own environment with its own evolutionary pressures.
Iterative improvement and automation have resulted in the sort of hyperbolic innovations that engineer Gordon Moore predicted in the mid 1960's. The rate of change is dizzying and poses significant challenges to our capacity for adapting to the changes they usher in. The explosion of new technologies, whose cycles of innovation and obsolescence relegate one to the status of instant expert or instant dinosaur in the blink of an eye, constitutes our greatest environmental challenge.
Having knowledge of one's object of inquiry has traditionally meant being able to give a name to it—to plot its co-ordinates and assay and record its characteristics. This sort of knowledge has traditionally conferred on the inquirer a degree of power and control over their object of inquiry—it is a form of experiential mapping, if you will. However, this is not so easy with respect to characterizing much less predicting the evolutionary trajectory of our modern technological landscape. Mapping the contours of our ever-changing, ever-expanding information and techno-complex is intractable as mapping sand dunes or clouds—the particulars are so infinitely complex and changing that it defies linear, rational and concrete approaches to knowing. It is a phenomenon that has rapidly emerged into a quantum state where power comes from making sense of the relational dimensions between the elements of this complex rather than knowing the particular qualities or quantities associated with the constituent elements themselves. Understanding, then, assumes a holistic character where inductive logic gives way to deductive and intuitive processes that may benefit more from a metaphor or narrative thread with which to frame or anchor one's understanding of the infinitely complex. This form of knowing differs from the traditional detached objective methods of scientific knowing. Instead, this form of knowing is experiential, immersive and, simultaneously, transforms both subject and object.
Consider that, in using a technology, you have changed the manner in which you interact with the world around you and this results in the emergence of new patterns of behavior, new modes of interaction, shifts in language, value systems and culture and we are irrevocably changed and the system within which this technology has been used is changed too. This implies that the relationship between subject and object have also shifted. In short we see the world in a different way for the simple reason that our internal value systems have dramatically shifted and the world that we inhabit has also dramatically changed. While we highly value information that is accessible and searchable many with the means to do so would pay millions of dollars for a highly inaccessible "original" painting by, say, Rembrandt, while few of us would be willing to pay for a digital version of it. An objects potential for ubiquity works in tension with its unique instantiation. An object that can readily be reproduced and reducing its value to near zero in a commodity-based economy where value is predicated on scarcity. The web-enhanced age in which we live is one of infinite abundance and, hence, traditional economic value cannot be derived from the objects produced in this ecosystem but, rather, from the relationships that it facilitates. While scarcity and authenticity are still significant arbiters of value today we see from the runaway success of social resources like Face Book
The Renaissance Through the Looking Glass
The age of now has oft been described as one of digital tribalism where the age of empire, standardization, control and concentration of power and influence have given way to chaotic and barbaric forces that truculently refuse to be defined and controlled by the old paradigms. We are advancing toward the past—almost medieval, semi-literate forms of informal, quasi-embodied social interaction where the emphasis is on the relationship—on being there (digitally) and participating in the conversation. It is Walter Ong's Post-literate society or age of "secondary orality." We are leaving the time where meaning was defined in terms of rational scientific constructs and entering a new epoch where our old science creates more questions than it is capable of answering—adding to an already infinite data set. We are entering a new mythopoetic age where it is pointless to look at the massive complexity of our modern technological and information ecosystem and hope to induce meaning and significance through observing it. What is significant is that we are not detached from it (as the old science would have it) we are caught up in its turbulence trying to keep our heads above water, as it were. The more sane approach would be to recognize that this leviathan chimera unleashes enormous pressures on us and to not ask what this means but, rather, to demand "what do we wish this this to mean for us now and in the future" and to hold it to account for this vision. We must not embrace technology simply for its own sake, rather, it should be subsumed in the service of our collective vision for the future and, in that sense, we are called upon to dream and to do so boldly. To envision a world where technology and information serves to nurture humanity requires that we come to understand who we are at our root and to what purpose must our hearts and our minds be put. These questions resonate with aspects of spirituality that seem antithetical to the project of science. However both science and technology have no life or no meaning without being grounded in the context of life—of attending and attaining to being fully human in a world that is rich, diverse and healthy and to this end all human projects should bend their respective backs to the task of enriching life on this planet and, thus, must be held fully accountable to this demand. Human health is linked to a complex web of inter-relationships that extends out beyond the human sphere to include the entire created order. Our evolving technological landscape has the potential to allow us to discover who we are both individually and collectively in relation to the broader world and to deepen the veracity of relationships that putative modern western science, and the tsunami of uncritical progress it unleashed, has unwittingly compromised.
Why Are We Here and What Are We Doing?
The philosophical perspectives/worldview that I outlined in the preceding paragraphs were not derived from gleaning through the tomes of savvy and erudite pop culture gurus (although I owe a great debt to Harold Innis, Eric Havelock, Marshall McLuhan, and Walter Ong and have enjoyed sharing insights articulated by the likes of Richard Ogle, Don Tapscott and Malcolm Gladwell), rather they came from a direct experience of some fundamental changes that I was experiencing in relation to my subject area and my relationship with my students.

Hello Omniglot, how are you doing? Here is a new language of mine and unlike all of my previous ones, it is not set in the same continuity.
Anyway, suppose that in ancient times lived a civilisation that learned the art of taming and controlling wild beasts by means of a very special language. It is not a 'language' in it's traditional sense and the words does not mean anything. It is intended to stimulate the consciousness of the beast in order for it to your bidding. Because of this, it does not have a writing system of it's own. Very few details of this language has survived to the present day and is constantly studied in order to reveal it's secrets.
There are literally thousands of words in this language, each one serving a particular purpose.
Here is some samples of this 'language'.
More details should come soon.
