Urban Adventures at Marinha Grande2012-07-09 1 4 Share Tweet
Marinha Grande cannot be considered as a big city can nor even as the best city, but it's my city, and I'm proud to be a Marinhense!
Marinha Grande is a small Portuguese town.
The history of Marinha Grande intimately connects with the history of the glass industry in Portugal. When two centuries behind, in an obscure village of sandy soils, shaded by a pine forest, anonymous hands lifted a furnace. Someone got the first taste of light. For the first time someone picks, blows, and forms. From these movements things began to take a reality that dominated the history of the town that, for over twenty five decades, had to play with greater or lesser extent, the life of each Marinhense, which was to be the life that never came out of the practices and discourses and dream locations. And until today, they are still blowing glass.
There are no documents that say the exact origin of the city, however, several documents suggest that in the eleventh and twelfth centuries was when the first settlers came.
Our friend zulupt also wrote a location's article on Marinha Grande.
In the city, there are several places with their own cultural association, associations promoting various cultural events ranging from theater to football through the music, gastronomic events, popular rays…we can almost say that something is always happening in Marinha Grande.
Unfortunately the local government does not always support these communities, so they survive through the will of their partners and friends.
But everything's not coming up roses, the last time I took a lomowalk in the city, I found an empty city, deserted, with many abandoned buildings, old factories in ruins (where it is not advisable to go alone). I hope that one day the city regains the life it had some years ago.
Marinha Grande cannot be considered a big city, it cannot even be considered as the best city, but it's my city and I'm proud to be a Marinhense.
If you pass by, come visit Marinha Grande, walk through our parks, visit our museums, and try to visit our various communities, because it will surely amuse you.

Quartz countertops are manufactured using approximately 95 percent stone and 5 percent filler or resin. This mixture results in a strong material with a natural stone appeal that comes in a wide selection of colors. Concrete as a countertop material may be painted, stained or stamped to fit just about any style requirement. Both products have positive and negative traits.
Both quartz and concrete are extremely durable materials and will withstand the temperature fluctuations, moisture and everyday wear and tear of the kitchen. Concrete itself is extremely heat-resistant but requires a sealer that may become damaged if hot pans are placed directly on the surface. This is not the case with quartz, as it requires no sealers and usually offers better heat resistance. Quartz and concrete are both resistant to staining, scratching and chipping. If a chip does occur, both are fairly easy to fix depending on the size of the chip. Concrete sealers must be redone every few years, meaning upkeep is a bit more costly than with quartz.
The price for countertops of any material will vary greatly depending on a number of factors. Homeowners should keep in mind that the cost of the material may or may not include installation, and there may be an additional fee for sealers. According to Galttech.com, the average price for quartz countertops ranges between $45 and $90 per square foot as of time of publication. Concrete, which often requires additional support due to its weight, may run between $80 and $120 per square foot.
Since quartz in nonporous, unlike concrete or granite, care is fairly simple. No sealing is required, and the surface will remain glossy without polishing. Avoid the use of bleach and abrasive cleaners, as bleach may cause discoloration, and abrasive materials may cause surface scratches. A simple wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth, window cleaner and a paper towel or a plastic scouring pad are ideal. Acidic foods or liquids -- citrus, tomatoes, vinegar -- need quick clean-up to avoid discoloration or other aesthetic problems. Because quartz is a nonporous material, bacterial growth is of little concern, making it one of the most hygienic materials on the market. Concrete, as long as sealing is kept up to date, should have a similar resistance.
Other Concerns
Concrete is a naturally porous material and as such requires sealing to prevent staining and water damage. These sealers are where the majority of problems may arise with everyday use. Though concrete itself is extremely durable, cutting directly on the countertop may scratch the sealer, while hot pots and pans may cause cracking or discoloration of the sealer. Sealants need reapplication every few years, a process that may require the help of a professional. Consider having metal or ceramic trivets installed to make it safer to place hot dishes on the countertop. Both products are long-lasting and durable as long as cared for properly. Most manufacturers will provide a warranty in the case of damage, and homeowners should expect to pay about the same or a little more as they would with mid-level granite.

In the president's first speech to Congress, Mr. Trump managed to maintain his composure without resorting to the usual antics that have become a hallmark of his speeches. Still, his softer tone cannot mask his harmful policies that have affected millions of Americans.
We are deeply concerned by the president's pursuit of policies that undermine the significant progress that our community, and other diverse communities across the country, have made in recent years. Donald Trump's proposed cuts to vital programs, his refugee travel ban, and his inhumane, un-American executive orders on immigration have a real and lasting impact: the erosion of the civil rights of a significant number of our citizens, the separation of families, and the gutting of important education, housing, and health initiatives that will affect millions.

By Mike Anderson
Special to The Washington Post
Sunday, January 2, 2005; Page F01
When the stock market looked bleak this summer, did you panic? Did you sell?
If you stood by your stocks, by year's end you had your reward. The Dow industrials -- down deeply this summer and through the fall, finished 2004 up nearly 3.2 percent. The broader Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 9 percent, and many small-cap stocks and funds were up 15 percent or more, while hot sectors such as energy and real estate were up about 25 percent or more.
So drink to 2004, but the start of 2005 may be the time to give some thought to the more sobering matter of risk in your portfolio. Resisting a knee-jerk reaction to midyear market weakness was right, but now, with a relatively strong year in the bag, selling some of your best gainers could be a winning strategy. Indeed, last year's successes can turn into this year's excesses -- meaning too little diversity and too much risk of future investment losses -- if you don't occasionally heed a time-tested strategy: portfolio rebalancing.
Most simply, rebalancing means reconciling your long-term investment strategy with your actual returns and making adjustments. It's a simple concept that is nevertheless hard for many people to follow. First, the idea of selling winners and stocking up on recent laggards can seem contrary to human impulses.
"It's very hard to say, 'I'm going to sell the thing that's doing the best and put my money into something that lost money or is lagging the markets,' " said Catherine Gordon, director of investment counseling for the giant mutual fund company Vanguard Group and a leading advocate of rebalancing. "Rebalancing is not trying to earn excess returns. It's a way to control risk."
The more money you allocate to a single class of assets -- stocks, bonds, small stocks, foreign bonds, etc. -- the more you are at risk of wiping out your gains due to a reversal in that asset class.
Another rebalancing challenge is acknowledging that, in the long run, no one can predict how markets, and especially individual stocks, will perform each year.
Clients frequently ask Louis P. Stanasolovich, president of Pittsburgh's Legend Financial Advisors Inc., why his firm didn't hold onto a particular share or fund longer to fully enjoy the gains. "I tell them we avoid risk first, go for returns second," he said. "If you don't lose money, you don't need that big of a gain to come out ahead."
Stanasolovich's firm, which manages about $215 million in assets, shows the pros and cons of balanced investing. Focused on consistency rather than matching market indicators, he acknowledges that Legend has lagged major stock indexes a few years since 1998, including 2004. "Initially, we were wrong," Stanasolovich said.
On the flip side, Legend boasted positive returns in the bear market years of 2000, 2001 and 2002. And while he says investors should brace for annual returns of 1 to 2 percent in stocks, 2 to 3 percent in bonds and 3 to 5 percent in real estate over the rest of this decade, his firm aims for total annual returns of 7 to 8 percent a year.

Game Stats | Postgame Notes and Quotes | Season Stats | Photo Gallery
Junior running back Shaun Wick rushed for 97 yards and the University of Wyoming football team battled San Jose State to overtime before falling 27-20 in front of a Homecoming crowd of 19,627 fans in War Memorial Stadium. The Cowboys' game-winning field goal attempt with two seconds left in regulation went off the right upright and the Spartans scored a touchdown on their first overtime possession, before holding the Pokes out of the endzone on defense.
"Obviously, there are things we can do better as a football team," UW head coach Craig Bohl said. "I thought we showed resiliency a couple of times during the game. We knew that it was going to be a close game and it turned out that way."
The Cowboys (3-4, 1-2 MW) and Spartans (3-3, 2-1 MW) were deadlocked in a 10-10 back-and-forth affair through three quarters, before combining for 20 points in the fourth quarter. Wyoming looked to have the game in hand with a three-point lead late in the game, but SJSU converted a 50-yard field goal with 42 seconds left to tie the contest. Back came the Cowboys with a dramatic drive for a 46-yard field goal attempt that would have won the game, but Stuart Williams' kick bounced off the right upright to send the game to an extra period. The Spartans found the endzone with a four-yard touchdown pass on their possession and held on Wyoming's fourth-and-three attempt to secure the victory.
"They have the No. 1 defense in the league and it was going to be hard moving the ball," Bohl said. "They are a good defense. We needed to get on track better and I thought we had chances in the first half. In the second half, we did take advantage of some chances, which I'm pleased with."
Wick's 97 yards came on 16 carries and included a 48-yard scoring scamper that moved him into ninth in Cowboy history with 18 in his career. He has five runs of 40-or-more yards this season. Wick was stymied through the first three quarters, though, as he gained 89 of his yards in the fourth quarter and overtime. Senior quarterback Colby Kirkegaard went 11-of-27 through the air for 119 yards, including finding Wick four times for 27 yards. Senior wide receiver Dominic Rufran finished with two catches for 37 yards to extend his streak of consecutive games with at least one reception to 44 games, tied for the longest current streak in the NCAA.
Defensively, redshirt freshman safety Tim Kamana and senior safety Jesse Sampson finished with 10 tackles a piece, both career highs. Junior defensive end Eddie Yarbrough made eight stops, including 3.5 tackles for loss to go with two sacks and a forced fumble. The Cowboy defense finished with a season-high eight tackles for loss.
The first half was a defensive battle, as the two teams combined for just one touchdown and two field goals. The Spartans opened the scoring with a 34-yard field goal on their opening drive, but missed a 47-yard attempt on their next possession. The Cowboys responded with a 36-yard field goal from Williams to tie the contest at 3-3 shortly into the second quarter. The kick capped a 17-play drive that took 9:20, both season highs for the Pokes. SJSU took a 10-3 lead into halftime thanks to a 13-yard touchdown pass with three seconds left in the second quarter.
San Jose State continued to move the ball in the second half, but couldn't produce points. The Spartans missed a 31-yard field goal on their opening drive of the second half, before Yarbrough forced a fumble on their second drive that sophomore nose tackle Chase Appleby recovered. The Wyoming defense came up big again on SJSU's ensuing drive when senior cornerback Blair Burns ripped the ball out and returned the fumble 63 yards for a touchdown.
The Spartans retook a 17-10 lead early in the fourth quarter, before Wick burst through the middle on a fourth-and-one play for a 48-yard score. Williams connected on a 19-yard field goal to give Wyoming a 20-17 lead with just under five minutes left before the final theatrics.
Wyoming hits the road for its next contest, the annual Border War rivalry game against Colorado State. Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m. next Saturday from Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo.

A researcher at Missouri University of Science and Technology has developed a new feedback system to remotely control mobile robots. This innovative research will allow robots to operate with minimal supervision and could eventually lead to a robot that can learn or even become autonomous.
The research, developed by Dr. Jagannathan Sarangapani, makes use of current formation moving robots and introduces a fault-tolerant control design to improve the probability of completing a set task. Currently there is a lot of potential growth in this field, as very few robotic systems have this redundancy because of costs.
The new feedback system, funded in part by the National Science Foundation, will allow a "follower" robot to take over as the "leader" robot if the original leader has a system or mechanical failure. In a leader/follower formation, the lead robot is controlled through a nonholonomic system, meaning that the trajectory is set in advance, and the followers are tracing the same pattern that the leader takes by using sonar.
"Imagine you have one operator in an office controlling 10 bulldozers remotely," says Sarangapani, the William A. Rutledge -- Emerson Electric Co. Distinguished Professor in Electrical Engineering at S&T. "In the event that the lead one suffers a mechanical problem, this hardware allows the work to continue."
The innovative research can be applied to robotic security surveillance, mining and even aerial maneuvering. With the growing number of sinkholes appearing across the country, surveying them in a safe and efficient way is now possible with a remotely controlled machine that can also survive the terrain.
Sarangapani believes that the research is most important for aerial vehicles. When a helicopter is in flight, faults can now be detected and accommodated. This means that instead of a catastrophic failure resulting in a potentially fatal crash, the system can allow for a better chance for an emergency landing instead. The fault tolerance would notice a problem and essentially shut down that malfunctioning part while maintaining slight control of the overall vehicle.
"The end goal is to push robotics to the next level," says Sarangapani. "I want robots to think for themselves, to learn, adapt and use active critique to work unsupervised. A self-aware robot will eventually be here, it is just a matter of time."

Cost Effective Production
By Abbie Batten
Why must Cadbury and other businesses always seek to be cost effective?
A business needs to strive towards being cost effective to produce the most economical outcome for consumers.
What can help a factory to produce more in less time and therefore reduce costs?
To control stock carefully so as to minimise wastage e.g. Use JIT production.
To use new technology e.g. Robotics
Why might Cadbury try to reduce it's workforce and produce at the same level?
To save money and be able to spend more money on other areas, like higher quality products, new machinery or to save for a back up in the future.
Does Cadbury use Robotics and JIT?
Yes, Cadbury does use robotics and they believe in the rule, Just in time. This enables them to make more profit while getting rid of stock.
What are CAD, CAM or CIM? Do you think Cadbury would make use of any of them? How?
CAD is computer aided design.
CAM is computer aided manufacture.
CIM is computer integrated manufacture.
Cadbury would make use of CAD as the packaging of the products will look much more professional and up to high standards.
They may use CAM as they may need to have help from computers to keep track of stock and productivity etc.
CIM may be used as Cadbury's may need help integrating their products and how they work?
Which one of the 4 methods of cost effectiveness on is Cadbury NOT likely to have used? Why?
Cadbury are unlikely to use Electronic funds that transfer at point of sale as they do not sell straight to customers, they sell to companies which then sell on to the public.

How many diet plans and exercise programs have you tried? Are there really any diets that work? There are a few things to keep in mind while on a diet. Making sure that you're fit to get into one is one major factor. It's best to consult a physician before you start with a diet, especially ones that would make rapid changes in your usual meals and daily activities. Your weight loss journey should also start with the question "Am I ready for this?"
We all have our own reasons why we want to go on a diet. We want to lose weight. We want to look good and stay fit. We want to keep ourselves healthy. If you have a recurring ailment or under medication, you have to consult your doctor before starting with any diet plan.
We know a lot of fad diets, but this one I found out about has quite a catchy title! It's the "All You Can Eat Diet!" where you get to eat all the best stuff.
Here's the recipe for this 7 day diet
Day 1: all the fruit you want except banana
Day 2: all the vegetables you want – you can also use condiments like soy sauce, vinegar or mustard!
Day 3: all the fruit and vegetables you want
Day 4: 5 bananas with 5 glasses of milk
Day 5: 4 (3 oz beef, chicken or fish steaks) with fresh vegetables
Day 6: 4 (3 oz beef steaks) with fresh vegetables
Day 7: 4 (3 oz beef steaks) with fresh vegetables
This looks like a really easy diet and you get to eat as much as you want of the preferred food. The diet's not only easy but quite healthy as well! And again this diet may work for some but not all. Choose your diet plan wisely. Choose one that would fit your lifestyle and one you know you can keep up with. So, are you ready?

CHESTERMAN PFrom the Division of Experimental Biology and Virology, Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Mill Hill, London, N. W.7 Received for publication December 5, 1964 IN 1961 Harris, Chesterman and Negroni described the induction of tumours in ferrets by the Mill Hill strain of polyoma virus (MHP). Since this report further tumours have arisen in the inoculated animals, and one has been surgically excised and followed through 5 recurrences. The histopathology of all these polyoma induced tumours has now been studied in detail and forms the basis for this communication. The tumours were induced by subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection of MHP virus or phenol treated virus (to obtain infective DNA) into newborn ferrets and arose in the region of the inoculation site in 6 of the 39 animals injected. The induction periods varied from 66-365 days and 5 of the tumours were fibro- sarcomas. The sixth was an osteosarcoma (Table I).

Mocha Brownies
Recipe by huskerlayd
A wonderful chewy "blonde" brownie for coffee lovers
Top Review by under12parsecs
These are super yummy and SOOOOO rich. You definitely only need a bite to feel like you've indulged. I subbed half milk and half white chocolate chips, but otherwise made as directed. The only problem I had was that even after 40 minutes in the oven, the brownies were still really underdone, but as I didn't want to overbake them I took them out and let them cool. They solidified enough to cut, but in the future I will leave them in longer.

Projecting computer graphics onto surfaces isn't anything new, but the technology is becoming more and more precise. Nobumichi Asai and his team have managed to create a system called Omote to track the movements of a human face and project images and makeup upon it to look realistic. It's amazing that the graphics can fit over the curves and lines of a face and look natural.
Though Asai has worked with CGI projection mapping in the past, his focus has typically been on objects like buildings and cars. Omote is a new challenge, and I can't wait to see how it develops.
Watch the technology in action in the video after the break.

Skoda is gearing up for a slew of launches in 2017 and has lined up four models for the Indian market. One of the models will be the Octavia Black Limited Edition which will hit the Indian shores in 2017.
Compared to the standard version of the Skoda Octavia, the Black Edition will see tweaks in the exterior outlook of the car. Skoda will give the Octavia Black Edition re-styled bumpers, blacked out headlamps, dark themed interiors, and probably new touchscreen infotainment system.
However, the talking point of the Skoda Octavia Black Edition is the Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) seen in most of the Skoda cars. The DCC will give the driver a lot more control of the car with the tweaking of the steering and suspension depending on the driving mode, the driver has selected.
The driving modes come in Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport, and Individual, so based on the mode selected the DCC will accordingly adjust the steering and suspension for the best control of the car.
With the push of a button, the electronic value will control the flow of oil to the suspension adapting to the driving mode and the steering becomes more responsive, brakes are sharper and body roll is lesser.
Apart from the Black Edition Octavia, Skoda will bring the 7-seater Kodiaq, RS variant of the Octavia, and the Rapid Monte Carlo Edition. Skoda is also investing Rs. 100 crore in the after sales service domain.

Episode Title: 'LB
Writer: Frank Spotnitz
Director: S J Clarkson
Previously on "Hunted":
After two episodes of "Hunted," I am definitely not in love with this series. I really do want to like it as much as I do "Strike Back" and I'm happy to see that Cinemax is carving out an identity for itself as a home for action on TV.
But Melissa George's Sam Hunter is the biggest problem on the show. It's very difficult to care about Sam thanks to the way that she is written and performed. Sam's emotionally closed off state may be the natural byproduct of a lifetime filled with betrayal and tragedy, but it also keeps the audience at a distance that it can't quite cross. If we can't feel empathy for Sam and her plight, than she's little more than a vehicle for the show to breakout an occasional fight sequence or espionage scene.
Supposedly, Sam's rapport with the young Edward Turner (Oscar Kennedy) is what is keeping her in the Turner household under the suspicious glare of Edward's shady grandfather, Jack (Patrick Malahide) and Edward's unsuspecting father, Stephen (Stephen Campbell Moore). However, the scenes between Sam and Edward and even between Sam and Stephen come off as forced and artificial.
The one aspect of her role that George is really pulling off is Sam's physicality. Sam looks convincing when she pulls off a few athletic moves to escape the Turner mansion. But I am more impressed by the way that Sam conducts herself in the fight with the scarred assassin where she clearly did not have the upper hand. A more accurate way to put it is that Sam was getting her ass kicked and that she was lucky to leave that situation alive.
Sam's inability to beat every opponent in front of her adds some much needed credibility to the show. If Sam could just knock around much bigger men than "Hunted" would really be pushing believability. Sam is also allowed to briefly be vulnerable as we see the full extent of her injuries from that fight when she disrobes in front of her estranged lover, Aidan Marsh (Adam Rayner). But there still isn't much chemistry between George and Rayner.
The opening scene of the episode did give us some tense moments as the Blank-faced man (Scott Handy) appeared to be ready to execute Sam on the spot while introducing himself as Dr. Horst Goebel. We know that the Blank-faced man was apparently tied to the previous attempt on Sam's life and that the scarred man is also seemingly out to kill her. However, it's less clear if they want her dead for the same reasons or if they have separate agendas.
Getting back to last week's other cliffhanger, Sam's teammate, Hasan Moussa (Uriel Emil Pollack) was kidnapped by Turner's men in retaliation for his part in the attempted "abduction" of Edward that was used to introduce Sam to the Turner family. Sam's boss at Byzantium, Rupert Keel (Stephen Dillane) seems to be more concerned about maintaining Sam's cover than saving Hasan, so Sam is ordered to execute her teammate herself before he can break under torture.
As a side note, how ridiculous is it for Sam to have such a free run of the Turner mansion without any scrutiny? Jack is openly suspicious of her and her presence, and yet Sam seems to be able to slip into his office and his deepest basement with little effort… to say nothing of how easy it is for Sam to sneak out of the mansion undetected. Does a man as paranoid as Jack Turner really not have any surveillance cameras within his home?
There is briefly an interesting shade of grey morality when Sam is willing to follow her orders and eliminate Hasan before he claims to have information about the attempt on her life. Hasan says that the scarred man approached him with a generous offer to turn on Sam while she was gone. And Hasan also points out that someone within the team likely betrayed him to Turner's men in the previous episode.
Of course, all moral ambiguity goes out the window when Hasan immediately tries to kill Sam after she frees him. That makes Sam's subsequent killing of Hasan justified and sidesteps the entire issue. That felt like a very lazy writing solution.
As underdeveloped as Sam is, her Byzantium teammates are even worse. Most of them are so bland that they barely make an impression; while Zoe Morgan (Morven Christie) and Ian Fowkes (Lex Shrapnel) only registered because they spent the majority of their screentime arguing about whether Sam should "remove" Hasan. I'm sure that if we cared about any of these characters that argument would have weight. But there are a lot of cardboard performances on this show.
In the absence of any real character development, Sam's boss, Rupert Keel gets this week's Cinemax moment when he meets with a beautiful (and very quickly, naked) young woman at an upscale hotel; which is apparently a routine for them. Perhaps this is meant to imply Keel's moral failings as he authorizes Hasan's death in front of the woman with barely a thought. But if Keel is one of the masterminds behind the attempts on Sam's life, then he is going to need a lot more than those brief moments to make him a compelling character.
It was a little surprising that the storyline of Sam in the Turner didn't advance any further than it did in this episode. I don't think that this particular plotline has the legs to make it through the entire season. I am still with "Hunted" for now, but my patience has its limits.

It reveals the file sharing issues that make enterprises vulnerable to data loss and compliance violations, and shows that business leaders are not responding to the in-house risk of ungoverned file sharing practices.
61% of employees confess they send unencrypted emails, do not delete confidential documents (in violation of company policy), or accidentally forward files or documents to unauthorized recipients.

The Black Panther Party [Reconsidered] – Download the First 20 Pages for Free
The Black Panthers was the most effective grassroots black revolutionary group in American history — but one whose legend, replayed in sensationalized news stories, a major movie, and countless publications, has outlived the group itself. Featuring never-before-published reflections from former members as well as tables and illustrations, this pioneering collection of essays examines this unique organization in depth using a new approach that places the views of former Panthers alongside those of historians and cultural commentators. The result is a vital dialogue between inside and outside perceptions and realities. A section on gender dynamics offers a much-needed examination of the role of women in the Party. Other essays in the volume address the social forces that gave rise to the Party, the organizational dynamics involved in maintaining its activities, and the internal and external factors that eventually contributed to the Party's decline.

Simon & Schuster Gives Racist Troll $250K Book Deal, But Boycotting Them Makes No Sense
Editor's Note: Subsequent to the publication of the article, a video of Milo making comments condoning sex between children and adults was widely circulated. As a result, his book deal with Simon & Schuster was pulled. He also stepped down from his role as an editor with Breitbart News.
Milo Yiannopoulos is laughing all the way to the bank. The interviewer from CNN (shown in the first video below), despite her faux outrage, is greatly helping this Milo's profile. CNN is doing this because these interviews generate rating and money for their company. The hypocrisy is sickening.
This is solely about money. Milo is no different than Twitter, CNN, and CNBC. This is the exact same thing that raised Trump's profile. Outrageous statements are profitable. Milo is simply the latest capitalistic troll to exploit the dysfunctional of our culture.
Now I appreciate I'm is actually feeding into the frenzy of Milo, but I do this because I know full well I'm not going to make money from this effort—corporations own that market. I just hope to make some points that will help readers think about the platforms they consume "information."
Milo Yiannopoulos' has a book Dangerous coming out in June. It was already #30 on Amazon's bestsellers list on February 14th—not in some miscellaneous sub-category either. It is #30 overall! The book is published by Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
Yesterday I posted a link to AALBC.com about a fascinating book, Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge by Erica Armstrong Dunbar, which is also published by Simon & Schuster. I received the following in reaction,
The crazy thing is that I had no idea who Milo Yiannopoulos was prior to Emanuel's comment. Milo is apparently the guy who spearheaded the racist trolling of Leslie Jones on Twitter. We previously talked about Leslie's Twitter trolls on our discussion forum, without ever mentioning Milo. Leslie threatened to leave Twitter and Twitter booted Milo in reaction (presumably).
While we (or least I) was unaware of Milo extreme trolling, corporate media were obviously paying attention and anxious to capitalize off Milo's racist attacks. In the process they raised MIlo's profile; which of course boosts rating—adverse cultural impact be damned!
Simon & Schuster even offered him a $250K book deal! Imagine a quarter of a million dollar book deal, apparently for being racist enough to get thrown off Twitter?
But then Milo is not your garden variety troll; he has Breitbart News as a platform, he is very clever, media-savvy, and funny. I have been personally been the target of Trolls. Not only did it not bother me I found some it kinda funny and even posted examples. But my trolls don't write for Breitbart, and I'm not a celebrity. For me, it is just another day on the web: I ban my trolls and keep it moving. No interviews on CNN, no book deals, no outrage on Twitter, indeed no attention at all. But celebrities and the trolls are a different matter.
There was a spate of angry tweets leveled against Simon & Schuster and others announcing boycotts:
In response to this disgusting validation of hate, we will not cover a single @simonschuster book in 2017. https://t.co/NAJhTgdeyX

Sometimes it's a tough call for bookshops between respecting free speech and not promoting hate speech. Sometimes not. Byebye @simonschuster https://t.co/nxTFS34Y1b
— Raven Books (@ravenbooks) December 29, 2016
This is all very powerful stuff. Roxanne Gay caught my attention by pulling her next book which was also being published by Simon & Schuster. The book's title is How to be Heard. A curious title, given Gay's reaction is exactly the opposite of the title connotation silencing a troll
@theferocity @jarry @BuzzFeedBooks eh. I pulled my book from S & S anyway.
— roxane gay (@rgay) January 24, 2017
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Simon & Schuster. Indeed, I'd seriously considered banning them in my own personal boycott because they are the only publisher of significance to never spend a penny, in advertising, with AALBC.com. This is despite the fact that Simon & Schuster has the top selling imprint on AALBC.com, Atria Books.
Now I would be more than happy to boycott Simon & Schuster. In fact with the website's new design, I could remove all of Simon & Schuster's titles from my website by changing a few lines of code.
But I'm not going to ban Simon & Schuster's books, not for this reason. Simon and Shuster is a massive corporation Milo's imprint Threshold Editions has nothing to do with the imprint 37 INK, who publishes some important books. It makes no sense boycott 37 INK's titles because another imprint decides to publish the rantings of some racist troll. It is the reason I still carry Simon and Shuster's books even though they won't break down and support the site with ad revenue.
The real problem is not Simon and Schuster, or even Milo. Both are simply capitalizing on the fact that, in America, skilled trolling is profitable. One could argue that MIlo and Threshold Editions are behaving perfectly rationally given the environment.
We live a culture were saying outrageous things is not only very profitable but can get you into the Whitehouse.

I've tried it once and I'm ecstatic about my results. I can throw away my straightening iron completely thanks to the smoothing properties that make it easy to blow dry my hair with a wide tooth comb and a wooden bristled round brush (no metal). Will stick with this product and spread the news to my family. My hair has tons of volume, movement and shine. I followed this up with the smoothing mask and the Phytospecific 7 moisturizer, the phyto specific thermo perfect heat protector cream, and added the phyto baobab oil for extra shine and slip--DONE! (4c hair chemically straightened with phyto specific relaxer index 2)

Samsung explains why there's no FM radio in the Galaxy S4
0. phoneArena posted on 17 Apr 2013, 03:38
Have you wondered why the Galaxy S4, which is probably the most feature-rich phone we can think of, lacks a simple thing like an FM radio? Well, we now may have an explanation as to why Samsung decided to leave this out, and no, it doesn't seem to be a technical issue...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Not to mention they compress the audio so much that it sounds muffled, garbled and dull...
As dated as the FM broadcast scheme is, its sound reproduction quality beats the crap out of 99% of those muddy sounding streams on those popular radio apps out there!

The F.M Radio as been one of the main Functions on mobiles,an Samsung have made a Big mistake leaving this function out of the S4,they are thinking the paying to use the internet radio is Cheaper,but this will make the S4 more Expensive to Buy an Run,some will stay loyal to the S3 or look for another High Class phone that offers the Radio ,I bet we get Samsung Galaxy S4s that's as the Radio on it in 3/4 of this year

They were bashing the iPhone too for the lack of that feature. Samsung's fans will do a u-turn now.
People do listen to FM. Specially in remote areas. Nothing can beat the liveliness of listening to FM.
Motorola too ditched the feature in the RAZR M, due to which, it fell short of being the perfect device with awesome dimensions.

people blaming samsung for not putting FM radio in its galaxy S4 why you don't blame apple for not putting FM radio for any iphone devices

Seriously? Leaving out FM Radio is a big issue? Buy a 10 $ nokia phone with Radio. Problem solved. Lol. My S3 had a Radio. Never used it. My brothers and cousins have radios on their phones. Never used it. My grandpa has a 10 $ nokia phone with radio, he uses it everytime. Grandpas dont buy top-of-the-line flagships. All people do is whine on a useless feature Samsung chooses to leave on out just so they could whine and say, "Gotcha! You dont have radio, you're useless!" Like, wtf?! Radio??? Again, buy a 10 $ nokia phone with radio, grandpas.

WTF are you talking about?!?
FM Radio is vital to countries that do not have VAST internet contracts with their providers (which happens in most cases if you exclude USA, Japan and a FEW more countries).
And, with your logic:
1) Why should your device have a music player? Go buy an mp3 player for that.
2) Why should it have a camera? Go buy a real camera for taking pictures.
3) Why have MONSTROUS CPU power? Use a PC for your needs.
Make a nice little collection of devices and carry them with you all the time!!!
Adding FM Radio is not like Nuclear Physics, and does NOT require extra space! Most hardware is there anyway!

That's the point!!! for those grandsons :) who don't understand the imortance of fm radio.

You just immortalized (+)the importance of FM radio in one word: "Imortance".
27. aries.phills (Posts: 140; Member since: 17 May 2011)
Trust me, FM radio is really not a deal breaker for people that purchase flagship devices. I never recalled ever using that feature on my S2, nor my previous Nokia devices. Not even my Blackberry Bold 9900. I don't even know if it has the feature. I asked some of my friends if they use their FM radio on there flagship devices and the response was a total "never". Although some of them still wouldn't mind having the feature on their phones. However, most of my colleagues that use feature phones responded a yes to listening FM radio on their phones.

Jesus Christ people, you are not the only person in the world. Lots of people still use FM radio, especially in countries with a lack of high speed data coverage. Stop making excuses for a company omitting a feature people still find useful. Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean it's not useful.

Adele Grammy Performance
February 13, 2012 by staff
Adele Grammy Performance, Adele made her triumphant return to the stage last night in her performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards. The British singer was introduced by Gwyneth Paltrow, who referred to her as "something special." Paltrow described 21, Adele's sophomore album as "creating a global music movement."
Fans were afraid Adele's voice may have suffered after went through throat surgery a few weeks ago, but the soulful British singer fulfilled everyone's expectations when she belted out her number one single, "Rolling In The Deep."
By the time Adele was singing "Rolling In The Deep" she had already won four Grammy Awards for: Best Short Form Music Video, Song Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Vocal Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album.
When the Grammy Awards ceremony had finished, Adele walked away with all six awards she had been nominated for including Best Record and Album Of The Year.
Dressed in a simple black dress, with a plain stage behind her, Adele did not need any extravagance to make her performance unforgettable; her voice was enough. Anytime Adele belted out a note in her performance the audience erupted in applause.
The Grammy winner received a well deserved standing ovation and she lingered on the stage to drink up every ounce of the applause.
Who could blame her? She had superstar Rihanna and legend Paul McCartney cheering her on.
Adele was favored to win Best Album for 21, the album including "Rolling In The Deep" and "Someone Like You" which made the British musician a world-wide name.
She sang for the first time since her surgery last week in a special for "60 Minutes" when Anderson Cooper asked her to sing a lick of "Rolling In The Deep," but the notes she sang to please Cooper were nothing in comparison to the major performance she gave last night.

The Wasp's Blade was a ronin brotherhood which was treated as part of the Tsuruchi family.
Origin Edit
Since the time of Tsuruchi the winners of the Day of the Wasp tournament joined a rigorous course, and if they finished it, were granted to join the fledging Wasp Clan. Those who had failed used to become part of a larger group of ronin and mercenaries that the Wasp hired to guard Kyuden Ashinagabachi. These ronin in time were known as the Wasp's Blade. [1]
Kagehisa family Edit
Tsuruchi disappeared after the end of the War Against Shadow, disheartening his followers. The ronin leader Kagehisa found Tsuruchi as a retired monk in the Temple of Kaze-no-Kami, gravely wounded and seeking only a life of privacy. Kagehisa retained the secrecy, and when the Tsuruchi family was oficcially recognized by Toturi I, the new Tsuruchi Daimyo Tsuruchi Ichiro, granted Kagehisa his own vassal family, and the Wasp's Blade became the Kagehisa family.

Floods/Flash Floods!!!!!!!
Have you ever experienced a flood? Well if so this will be a review for you but if you never have you will learn many amazing things about floods and flash floods!
Floods happen when there are many days of heavy rain or snow melting and also when bodies of water rise higher than they are supposed to.
Flooding is an overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry. Floods can happen during heavy rainfalls, when ocean waves come onto the shore, when snow melts too fast, or when dams or levees break.
Flooding could happen with only a few inches of water, or it may cover a house to the rooftop. It just depends on the flood. They can occur quickly or over a long period and may last days, weeks, or longer. Floods are the most common and widespread of all weather-related natural disasters.
Flash floods are the most dangerous kind of floods, because they combine the destructive power of a flood with incredible speed and unpredictability. Flash floods occur when excessive water fills normally dry creeks or river beds along with currently flowing creeks and rivers, causing rapid rises of water in a short amount of time.
Densely populated areas are at a higher risk for flash floods. A flash flood is sudden flooding that occurs when floodwater rise rapidly with no warning within several hours of an intense rain.
Floods happen when a warm front and when precipitation such as rain and snow is happening.
Its has to rain for a long time so there has to be a stationary front, so that the weather will stay the same. Nimbostratus clouds are the cloud type you find when you are having a flood. The storms happen when a cold front and a warm front meet. The wind speed is fast because the iso lines are closer together when a flood occurs.
Their impact on people and on a community is that they hurt people and ruin towns. 42*- 55* F is the temperature needed for a flood to happen. It has to be a low-pressure day when it floods. Heat transfers are usually neglected.
The Mississippi river flood in 1927 killed 250-1,000 people and leaving 600,000 people homeless. The Hurricane Katrina flood in 2005 happened after Hurricane Katrina because of the amount of water that came during the Hurricane. The death toll was 1,833 people.
Historical Floods
Katrina flood and Mississippi River flood
Where 2 floods that happended in history!
Mississippi River Flood!
Hurricane Katrina Flood!
Human Impacts On Life!
It affects people because floods can ruin your house and your cities. They can hurt you or even kill you.

The Spanish-speaking population is increasing, so the "Elysium" star gave Conan lessons in survival Spanish when he stopped by "Conan" on Monday night to discuss "Elysium," in theaters August 9, and give host Conan O'Brien some language tips to survive in the futuristic all-Spanish speaking Los Angeles featured in the film.
"Do you speak Spanish?" he asked Conan. "The thing is if you want to keep your job in this network you're going to have to learn Spanish. You know like 47 million people speak Spanish today, and we like having sex, so multiply that [by] eight in ten years."
So Conan asked him to teach him some basic survival words in Spanish. And Diego did! Very naught words for sure!

The History of Pro Surfing at Lower Trestles
Every time there's a surf contest at Lower Trestles it conjures up some amazing history and great stories within the Body Glove Family. We love it all, the wave, the competition, and all the incredible heats that have gone down over the years. One of our fondest memories is that of the 1990 Body Glove Surf Bout which many consider the professional launching point for Kelly Slater, now the most accomplished surfer in history. With the help of Twenty Magazine, join us in taking a look back at the iconic event in their inaugural issue, The Trestles issue.

Business, Civic Leaders Gather for International Terminal Dedication(May 03, 2012)
ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/03/12 -- America's new global gateway is one step closer to opening as more than 1,100 guests gathered this evening to dedicate the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal.
Valerie Jackson, widow of the international terminal's namesake, joined Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, Aviation General Manager Louis Miller, Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson and others for remarks, a portrait unveiling and a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the facility, set to begin operations May 16.
"This magnificent building represents years of determination, hard work and vision on the part of thousands of people," Reed said. "The opening of the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal also heralds a new era of international opportunity for Atlanta, strengthening the city's position as a global gateway for the United States and as a preferred destination for business and tourism."
"Our goal is to make sure travelers choose Atlanta. I am certain -- and I think you'll agree when you have a look around -- that the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal and its Concourse F will serve as a positive, welcoming first impression of our city for all those coming to do business here and will further the city's reputation as a cutting-edge leader," Miller said.
A portrait of former Atlanta Mayor Maynard H. Jackson Jr. was unveiled by Reed and Valerie Jackson. The portrait hangs in the ticketing hall of the international terminal.
Planning, design and construction of the international terminal created about 3,000 jobs. Nearly 1,000 jobs are expected to be created to operate and maintain the 1.2 million-square-foot facility.
The international terminal connects with the existing international concourse, creating a world-class, 40-gate air travel complex. It will eliminate the need for Atlanta-bound passengers to recheck their baggage.
Passengers will access the international terminal via I-75 at Exit 239. More than 3,500 parking spaces will be available. The ticketing hall will feature 64 self-service check-in kiosks and 80 ticketing counters.

text: Turkish illustrator Aykut Aydoğdu is one of those artists who's been frequently added to our illustration galleries over the years. Since we more or less have shown his pieces one by one, we've never gotten around to doing a full feature of his work. Ok, maybe not completely true since we actually did a feature of his smashing Daft Punk Branding Project a couple of years back, but that was only one project. But Aykut is like a creative machine and just keeps on pushing out magnificent work. So today I've summed up no less than 23 of his illustrations, that we previously haven't published.

Carole Klein, 9 February 1942, Brooklyn, New York, USA. A proficient pianist from the age of four, King was a prolific songwriter by her early teens. When friend and neighbour Neil Sedaka embarked on his recording career, she followed him into the New York milieu, recording demos, singing back-up and even helping arrange occasional sessions. As a student at Queens College, New York, she met future partner and husband Gerry Goffin whose lyrical gifts matched Kings grasp of melody. She completed a handful of singles, including The Right Girl (1958), Baby Sittin, Queen Of The Beach (1959), prior to recording Oh Neil (1960), a riposte to Sedakas Oh Carol. Although not a hit, her record impressed publishing magnate Don Kirshner, who signed the Goffin/King team to his Aldon Music empire. They scored notable early success with the Shirelles (Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow),...

Commodity Price Insurance:A Keynesian Idea Revisited
Keynes proposed that a 'Commod Control' agency be created after the Second World War to stabilise spot prices of key internationally traded commodities by systematically buying and selling physical buffer stocks. In this paper, the creation of a new Global Commodity Insurer (GCI) is discussed that would operate an international Commodity Price Insurance (CPI) scheme with the objective of protecting national government revenues, spending and investment against the adverse impact of short- term deviations in commodity prices, and especially oil prices, from their long-run equilibrium level. Crude oil is the core commodity in this scheme because energy represents 50% of world commodity exports, and oil price shocks have historically had a significant macroeconomic impact. In effect the GCI would develop a new international market, which is currently missing, designed to protect governments against the risk of declines in their fiscal revenue, and increases in the level of claims on that income especially from social programmes, brought about by short-term commodity price shocks. GCI would take advantage of the rapid growth of trading in derivative securities in the global capital market since the 1980s by selling CPI insurance contracts tailored to the specific commodity price exposure faced by national government, and offsetting the resulting price risk with a portfolio of derivative contracts of five-year or longer maturities, supplied by banks, insurers, reinsurers, investment institutions, and commodity trading companies, with investment grade credit ratings. The difference between the CPI and a buffer stock or export/import control scheme is that it would mitigate the macro-economic shocks posed by commodity price volatility, but not attempt to control commodity prices. The cost of the CPI scheme is estimated by simulating 5-year commodity price paths using a standard log price mean reverting model parameterised from an econometric analysis of commodity price time series.

Google has a feature to add interactive content to your website.
We have created a widget (building block of your profile). By activating this widget you will add Google Gadgets.
Example: NetCare now includes Youtube and Skype
This gives the ability to add thousands of small applications and information to your website.
Another very easy way to add youtube videos is to use the Video application in the menu. It will not be directly shown on your profile as video but you can show that you have videos.
