In the last few days, Pokémon GO has invaded the world. It rocketed to the top of the itunes charts, was downloaded more than 7.5 million times, and surged past Twitter for the number of active users. It's so popular that its sales and downloads have increased Nintendo's market value by more than $9 billion.
Pokemon fans, young and old, love the new game, but there have also been nightmare reports of robberies, dead body discoveries and privacy violations.
The newly released program combines the virtual creatures from the famed cartoon and card game with real world exploration of your area. It uses your mobile device's GPS to chart your exploration, and its camera to "capture" the Pokémon you discover. So, unlike most video games, you have to walk around to fully utilize the app.
"We're excited that Pokémon fans and gamers can now start exploring their very own neighborhoods and cities to capture Pokémon using the Pokémon GO app," said John Hanke, CEO of Niantic, the company behind Pokémon GO.
As Pokémon GO users leave their controllers, consoles and keyboards in their gaming dens, safety quickly becomes an issue as the real world is meshed with the gaming experience. When you open the app, it even instructs you to constantly be aware of your surroundings while playing.
So, what are some ways you, your friends and family can stay safe while playing?
Location, location, location
Knowing your local area is the first step to playing it safe with Pokémon GO.
This is also a great time for parents to talk to their children about the use of location based apps," said Augusta Nissly, Program Coordinator at the Family Online Safety Institute. "Explain to them what it means to share your location or have others share their with them. It is important for kids to understand that if a location doesn't feel right, safe or is a place they know they shouldn't be, that they shouldn't go there not even to catch a rare Pokémon. They should also keep their parents or a trusted adult informed of their whereabouts when playing these games."
There are a few great areas that are natural safe starting points for Pokémon safaris.
Larger parks have different types of terrain that will attract a variety of Pokémon. New York City's Central Park has become a Pokémon mecca. Even a small grassy public space like Anaheim's Magnolia Park is a Pokégym, a prominent real-world meeting places where Pokémon GO users can battle each other. These areas also limit vehicular traffic.
The right historical areas or landmarks like museums can be another safe treasure trove of Pokéspots. These in-game locations direct you to amazing finds like semi-hidden murals, statues and plaques. They also provide free in game items that refresh every five minutes, so feel free to take a moment enjoy the sights.
Some parks, museums and transportation hubs areas offer free wifi, so you can play there without cellular service. If you want to preserve your mobile data, you can also look for park and museum locations near your Internet service provider's wifi hotspots.
Keep your head up
You don't have to be glued to the screen while playing this game.This might even become boring because Pokémon are not jumping out with each step. It's also dangerous because you're not watching where you're going.
Put that mobile device away and enjoy the scenery during your safaris. There's no reason to have anxiety about missing a Pokémon. Your device will notify you when you discover one of the pocket monsters. There's also the Pokémon GO Plus wearable device that lets you capture them without having to even reach for your smart phone.
You don't have to run into traffic to catch 'em all
If a Pokémon appears on the other side of the street, STOP. You don't have to run through traffic. Just click the Pokémon. The app will automatically switch into capture mode. Then, continue your hunt. The same goes for anywhere that could be dangerous like going out into the water, back alleys, etc.
Protect Yourself from the Elements
To hatch a Pokémon egg, you have to walk. The distance can range from one to six miles. You can't accelerate your pace without a car either - the incubation timer shuts down at speeds greater than 20 mph.
In this summer weather, it's about more than distance, You also have to think about shade, sun block and hydration as you search for the elusive pets.
Device battery life may also become a concern. The application taps your mobile devices GPS and camera, so it can be charge intensive. During long hikes, you might need a battery pack to ensure you have a charged form communication.
Like most apps these days, Pokémon GO has in-game purchases. These can range from $0.99 to $99.99. One major area to drive purchases is the Pokéballs. You begin with about 50 of these little Pokémon capture devices. If you're not picking up free ones from the landmark Pokéstops, you'll quickly run out of this main resource and be forced to purchase them to continue playing. Parents will want to ensure their child's mobile device has the right pay restrictions, so no one is surprised by a binge of purchases.
The application collects a lot of information about the user; It has access to your GPS and camera. Patches to address these issues are already coming online, and you can shut down the apps access to an entire Google account through Google's account settings.
There's a lot to know to be safe while playing this augmented reality game, but it's also an opportunity for families and friends.
"Playing games online with your children is great," Nissly said. "It is one of the best ways for parents to learn about and understand the apps and services their child is using. Joining in and playing Pokémon Go and other online games is not only a fun way to experience the online world with your child but also an opportunity to teach them about how to interact and be safe online."

Mike Kent's criticism of inspectors is outstanding
I was moved to tears when I read the exceptional piece written by Mike Kent as Simon ("Who's not so clever now?"). It seems that we are failing so many Simons in the vain attempt to make schools, teachers and the government look good. School accountability stinks and if allowed to continue, will only further erode the hopes and dreams of people like Simon.

Last evening, my husband and I went out to dinner with two other couples. I had not seen the other couples since I had quit smoking. When I told them I no longer smoked, they were all very gracious and congratulated me. One of the individuals is an ex-smoker and a registered nurse. She asked me if I was using the patch. When I told her I quit cold turkey, she told me I was making a mistake in thinking I could do this without NRT. I must have had a bewildered look on my face because she asked me what was wrong. The only reply I could come up with was, "I am an addict. This is my 14th day of being nicotene free. Why would I put nicotene back in my body?"
Looking back on last night, I realize two things:
1. When questioned about my decision, I stayed calm. Joel, you certainly are telling the truth in your "Quitting smoking can make you calmer, happier and healthier" video. In the past, I would have gotten "my feathers ruffled" and instantly been on the defensive.
2. I own my Quit. It is mine, my choice, my commitment and my journey. I don't need to defend it, I need to nurture it.
14 days nicotine free and proud of myself

Design Question
Hello Everyone:
Let me explain a design situation in simplified terms. The scenario is as shown below:
------- -------- -------- --------
P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 are the values of static pressures at different locations of the flow. Flow is taking place from 1 to 5. Lets say, P1>P2>P4>P5. But P3<P5, which is a location where there is some recirculation.
While designing a pump to drive the flow through the network, does it need to be designed to drive through a pressure drop of (P1-P5) or (P1-P3)?
Thanks, Thomas
Re: Design Question
Hello Everyone:
Seems like my browser is behaving strangely. One statement was not even complete even though I typed it. It needs to be as follows:
But, P3 < P5.
Please let know if it's not clear.
Re: Design Question
i didn't quite understand your question but it seems like a simple hydraulics question. to solve these problems it helps to draw a pressure position graph (it probably has another name in your texts) where you put pressure on the vertical axis and position on the horizontal (it doesn't have to be to any scale) it should then become clear what the appropriate pressure rise is that your pump must supply. think of it as a roller coaster where the pressure is height.

"The problems that face our world are so complex and difficult that we will need all the talent available to solve them." We wrote those words in the preface of our first book, A Woman's Place is in the Boardroom, in 2005, and reiterated them in the second, A Woman's Place is in the Boardroom: The Roadmap. Writing in early 2008, we noted that the complex problems facing our world were proliferating, and gave as examples the July bombings in London and many other acts of terrorism worldwide; the increasing pressure on the world's resources; the potential impact of climate change; the credit crunch; political, social and economic problems in the Middle East, Asia and Africa; and a whole series of natural and human-made disasters in other parts of the world.
We believed then that not applying the talent of half the population to deal with those problems represented an enormous waste of resources. We still do. Nor have we changed our view that although increasing the number of women on the boards of our large companies will not of itself solve these problems, it will contribute to their solution by increasing the reservoirs of human ingenuity, imagination, insight and will available to address them.
We had no way of knowing, in early 2008, just how complex and difficult the world's problems were going to become, as the credit crunch developed into a full-blown financial and economic crisis. Expressions that would have previously sounded like hyperbole became, as banks and companies fell and governments wobbled, realistic descriptions of potential outcomes, and the question of whether western capitalism itself would survive began to be openly debated. The chairman of a leading global bank – a man not given to hyperbole – described, during our discussions for this book, the events of the financial crisis as a "near-death experience". "It was a damned close run thing," he said. "It could have easily gone down. It almost did."
The impact of the financial crisis is still emerging. The UK chancellor of the exchequer, the Rt Hon. George Osborne MP, speaking at Bloomberg in August 2010, said that it was in the summer of 2009 that "we saw the first signs that fears about the liquidity and solvency of banks would become fears about the creditworthiness of the governments that stand behind them". The chancellor observed in the same speech that the UK's budget deficit – at 11 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) – "remains the largest in the G20". In March 2010, consumer debt in the UK stood at around £1500bn (Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, HC 475) and, at the end of October 2010, public sector net debt in the UK was £955bn (ONS: Public Sector Finances). Other countries – Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Spain – were also in challenging economic circumstances and, in November 2010, commentators were debating whether the euro would survive.
The "credit crunch" we wrote about in 2008 has developed into a financial and economic crisis which, in turn, is generating political and social repercussions. It is not hyperbole to say that the UK economy, in common with other western economies, is confronting some of the most serious, and most intractable, problems it has faced in living memory.
Against this backdrop, two courses of action are needed. First, we have to try to ensure that nothing resembling the banking crisis, which threatened the whole system of western capitalism, ever happens again. Second, in parallel with the reform of regulatory frameworks and the management of risk, the economy has to return to growth. Women now account for 46 per cent of the UK workforce, and their increased participation in the leadership of our large companies and institutions has a part to play in addressing both of these challenges.
What is that part? In the preface to the 2010 edition of Fool's Gold, Gillian Tett, social anthropologist and US managing editor of the Financial Times, suggests that one way in which élites tend to control a society is by influencing the cultural discourse: the way the society talks about itself. She points out that what matters, when exerting influence on the discourse is not merely what is publicly discussed, but also what is not mentioned in public – either because it is deemed impolite, taboo or uninteresting, or because it is simply taken completely for granted. "Areas of social silence, in other words, are crucial to supporting a story that society is telling itself." The particular "story" to which Tett is referring is the one about the catastrophic impact on global markets of the credit bubble, but the argument holds true for other stories, including those that inform the "cognitive map" of boards. Sir David Walker, in Annex 4 of his Review of corporate governance in UK banks and other financial industry entities, points to the risks of dysfunctional board behavior and observes that "board behaviour cannot be regulated or managed through organisational structures and controls alone". Annex 4 refers to the danger of "groupthink", one aspect of which is an unwillingness to talk about an issue within the group, and thus the creation of what Tett calls an area of "social silence".
This is where women can make a contribution. Increasing the number of women in strategic decision-making bodies – such as boards – will work against both "groupthink" and "social silence", in two ways. First (as we have shown in our previous books and reiterate in the pages that follow), since women often simply don't know the "rules of the game" and are unfamiliar with the dynamics of largely all-male groups (such as boards), they are more likely to ask straightforward questions, often opening up the debate and – sometimes unknowingly – challenging what Tett describes as patterns of social conformity or shared ideology and assumptions. Secondly, for whatever reason, many senior women have a highly developed moral compass and a strong desire to debate a whole issue and to bring people into the debate. These qualities are not, of course, confined to women; nor do all women possess them. But hundreds of interviews with women during the course of researching and writing four books have demonstrated that many women do have them.
A third reason to make more space at the boardroom table for women relates to the "upside": the need for a return to economic growth. Research by Professor Lynda Gratton of the London Business School and others has shown that creativity and the entrepreneurial activity that leads to innovation, and thus to economic growth, is more likely to emerge in gender-mixed teams.
There is a tendency for the issues of corporate governance reform, the need to stimulate growth and the desirability of more gender diversity on boards and their equivalents outside the corporate sector, to be discussed separately, as if they were discrete challenges, each of which needs to be addressed on its own. We show in this book that they are all aspects of a more fundamental need to reconfigure, recompose and, in so doing, reinvigorate institutional leadership at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. We also show that the interconnections between governance, growth and gender are recognised by many male leaders, as well as by many aspiring female leaders, and by many national governments, particularly in Europe. The Treasury Committee's Report on Women in the City 2010 describes the linkage between the contribution of talented women to strategic decision-making, and economic recovery:
"We must ensure that talented women are not being denied the opportunity to contribute to business and commercial decision-making. This is a concern not only for women as individuals… The UK needs to draw on the talents and experiences of women in order to successfully rebuild our economy following the recession."
If we were redesigning institutional leadership from the bottom up, using the findings of research into the links between gender diversity on the one hand, and corporate performance, the quality of corporate governance and the creativity of leadership teams on the other, we would not start from here. But "here" is where we are, and we must focus on the process of rebuilding with the tools that are to hand. We hope that this book will help to indicate where we need to get to and provide useful suggestions about what we need to do, and how, therefore, we may "get there".

I am throwing my 11 year old son a birthday party and he wants a basketball theme cake. does anyone have any ideas what to make the basketball hoop out of? I am making the cake myself to save money. Thanks

Shoestring licorice? You could use thin icing to change the color, but it would work for tying together to make a net.
Question: Do you want the basketball net to use for games or do you want the net as part of the cake? If as part of the cake, I would weave a net from shoestring licorice, then cut out the center from a appropriately colored paper plate. Lay the woven net on a large cake plate, put the paper rim on top and set the basketball shaped cake in the center(as if it is going through the hoop)

This is a timely topic for me as I'm looking into Email & collaboration options for a "not-for-profit". They currently are getting by on POP accounts but want to take it to the next level. Money is a real factor so outsourcing is a real attractive idea, however, concerns are:
• Individual mailbox backup and restores.
• Regulatory compliance.
• Control.
Anybody have any feedback or experience on these topics?
Thanks in advance,

We're a school, and we're using Gmail's Google App's Standard Edition. A few universities near us have also made the switch. Since I wasn't hired before the switch, I don't know about the legalities.
There are no backups besides what the user does, but the Premier edition has some features.
There's relatively little control on the standard edition for an admin. I can see when folks logged in last, and change their passwords. But I cannot help with issues within their account without them logging in.

Hi Walt,
A couple places to look include:
The Email Hosting Provider Project that outlines what to look for and lists some vendors
The discussion thread "What Email Hosting Provider do you use?"
Feb 22, 2008 at 2:31 UTC
Yep, I read those and in fact clicked on "Start a discussion about this project" at the bottom of the Education Center item. The follow-up questions I asked were because they weren't adequately covered for my needs. I was hoping for some community participation......
Feb 22, 2008 at 2:38 UTC
Got it. We'll (in fact any user can ) take the feedback this thread receives and add it back to the article. The articles are all in a wiki (like wikipedia) and anyone can create/edit/contribute.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

แกงต้มกะทิเนื้อโคเค็ม - In this dish, umami-charged, salted sun-dried beef is gently grilled over charcoal, adding smoke and caramelized elements that emerge in the core of the flavor profile, alongside the umami and the savor of fat. The meat is then cut into bite-size pieces, and slowly braised in thick coconut milk. The coconut fits perfectly onto the triangle of umami, fat and smoke. It brings its own umami and fatty shades, and introduces a rich sweetness that pairs seamlessly with the caramelized character of the grilled beef. The braising also rehydrates the beef and softens it. Bamboo shoots, shallots, galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves are added, perfecting the dish with a complementary sweetness, echoing the umami hues, and cutting citrusy notes while creating hidden astringent layers. The dish is finished with fresh chili peppers and hair-thin julienned kaffir lime for a fresh aroma and piquant bite.
Thai food recipes
Thae Phoh Thai Red Curry with Pork Neck and Water Spinach (แกงหมูเทโพใส่ผักบุ้ง ; Gaaeng Muu Thaeh Phoh Sai Phak Boong)
แกงหมูเทโพใส่ผักบุ้ง - Thae phoh curry is a spicy and salty Thai red curry with sour-sweet flavor shades. Thae phoh falls into the category of the gaaeng khuaa (แกงคั่ว) style of Thai red curries, as it contains no dry spices except white peppercorns. Instead, smoked dried fish meat is added to the red curry paste to accentuate and widen its umami-smoky savory flavor base.
Southern Thai Ancient Fermented Fish Innards Curry with Grilled Catfish (แกงไตปลาปลาดุกย่างโบราณ ; gaaeng dtai bplaa bplaa dook yaang)
แกงไตปลาปลาดุกย่างโบราณ - Fermented fish innards curry is a dense curry made of fermented fish innards is dark coffee-brown in color – a salty, fiery hot dish, it grips the palate in an intense umami embrace. As the flagship dish in the repertoire of spicy southern Thai cuisine, it comes in different versions: some are water based; some have a base of coconut cream. But whatever the style, it is a fiercely hot dish that features both dried and fresh chilies.
Maa ouan is a Thai appetizer with clear Chinese characteristics. It resembles the filling of khanohm jeep dumplings (ขนมจีบ), the crab and pork meat fillings of haawy jaaw (ฮ่อยจ๊อ), or the shrimp and pork meat mix of haae geun (แฮ่กึน). Minced pork and shrimp meat are seasoned with garlic, coriander roots, white peppercorns and salt, then mixed with duck egg and a bit of coconut cream, placed in small ceramic cups (thuay dta lai, ถ้วยตะไล), and steamed. It can be served either as a starter, an hors d'oeuvres, or even as a side dish to curries.
An Ancient Siamese Recipe for Tom Yum Soup (First Published in 1890). Sour Spicy Tom Yum Soup with Snakehead Fish, Roasted Chili Jam and Green Mango (Dtohm Yam Bplaa Chaawn, ต้มยำปลาช่อนแบบโบราณ อย่างหม่อมซ่มจีน ราชานุประพันธุ์ ร.ศ.๑๐๙)
Tom yum soup from the late 19th-century Siam to present days. Including a step-by-step recreation of tom yum soup with snakehead fish (dtohm yam bplaa chaawn, ตัมยำปลาช่อน) as recorded by Maawm Sohm Jeen (Raa Chaa Noopraphan) (หม่อมซ่มจีน, ราชานุประพันธุ์) in her book "Tam Raa Gap Khao" (ตำรากับเข้า), published in 1890 (2433 BE, 109RE).
Thai Chili Relish with Pork, Shrimp and Fresh Peppercorns (น้ำพริก พริกไทยสด ; naam phrik phrik thai soht)
Studded with small green peppercorns that burst with a mild peppery pungency, this relish is not as spicy as one might expect from a Thai chili relish - nor does the sour taste serve as a noticeable flavor pillar. Instead, a warmer and softer peppery bite, coupled with the aroma of young pepper, delivers a complex kick. The peppercorns, together with the flavorful yellow chilies, wrap the pork's natural umami and fatty characters and enhance its natural sweetness; this sweetness, despite being placed far in the back and only appearing at the end of each bite, is nicely layered by the use of shrimp meat and palm sugar.
Thai Relish of Fermented Fish, Grilled Catfish, Pork and Shrimp (ปลาร้าผัดทรงเครื่องสูตรสายเยาวภา ; bplaa raa phat sohng khreuuang, suut saai yao wa phaa)
Fish fermentation consists of a simple salt-curing process: mixing or coating a whole fish, sliced fish or minced fish meat with salt and rice husks (or ground roasted rice). The mixture is then allowed to rest and ferment for few months. This fermentation process creates deep, intense umami flavor agents accompanied by a strong stench. It is only with culinary sagacity and skill that cooks are able to harness and direct these powerful flavors within the context of an appetizing dish, and to constrain the odor to an agreeable intensity.

Question: Thomas Smith and Jackie Lea were partners in the logging
Thomas Smith and Jackie Lea were partners in the logging business. In January 1981, they joined Gordon Redd and went into business running a sawmill, calling the business Industrial Hardwood Products (IHP). Smith and Lea used their logging equipment at the mill site. Smith hauled 400 loads of gravel, worth some $26,000, from his father's land for the mill yard in the process of getting the mill operational. Smith and Lea received $300 a week compensation for their work, which was reported on federal W-2 forms. They worked up to 65 hours per week and were not paid overtime. All three discussed business decisions. Smith and Lea had the authority to write checks and to hire and fire employees. Lea left the business in 1983 and was paid $20,000 by Redd. The testimony indicated that the three individuals agreed in January 1981 that as soon as the bank was paid off and Redd was paid his investment, Lea and Smith would be given an interest in the mill. No written agreement existed. Redd invested $410,452 in the business and withdrew $500,475 from it. As of December 31, 1986, IHP had sufficient retained earnings to retire the bank debt. In April 1987, Smith petitioned the Chancery Court for dissolution of the "partnership" and an accounting. Redd denied that any partnership agreement was formed and asserted that Smith was an employee because he was paid wages. He offered to pay Smith $50,000 for the gravel and use of his equipment. Decide. [Smith v. Redd, 593 So.2d 989 (Miss.)]

That makes the war at home more dangerous than all of our combat missions around the world. Let's end the stigma surrounding Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury. Let's end the silence. Lets save our veterans.
That makes the war at home more dangerous than all of our combat missions around the world. Let's end the stigma surrounding Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury. Let's end the silence. Lets save our veterans.
Mission 22 has three major programs. Funding veterans to receive treatment for Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury and other issues they may be facing through Mission 22 Programs as well as many partner organizations, large scale public art to honor veterans and creating social impact for the issues veterans are facing today,
There are memorials dedicated to the fallen warriors of nearly every major conflict in our country's history. They remind us of the sacrifice, they honor those we've lost, and they tie civilian to soldier. But there was no national monument for those who have fallen in the war against Veteran suicide until the War at Home Memorial was created.
With your support, we were able to build one. We raised a monument—and awareness. We are working with community leaders in locations like Norfolk, Washington DC and New York City to create a permanent exhibit to pay tribute to those we have lost here at home.
The last year our goals for awareness have not only been met but far surpassed what we could have even hoped for. The Mission 22 campaign has brought veteran issues to millions of people so that they too can make a difference. Awareness precedes change and without it we can not heal our nation.
The monument construction has been completed. We honored 20 veterans who lost their lives here at home after serving our country abroad. Please see the Memorial page for photos and to follow progress of the monument as it travels around the United States. Its next location is set for Norfolk, Virginia and we are working on a semi-permanent location for it after that. For more info on the memorial please click here.
Mission 22 has comprehensive programs to treat veterans suffering from PTS and TBI. We also have partnered with other organizations that offer amazing services to veterans as well as doctors and treatment facilities across the country. The VA is a great resource but they are understaffed and underfunded. With your help we can get our veterans the help they need now, without the wait. Our partner organizations specialize in Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury, substance abuse and all of the issues veterans are facing today. To see some of our programs and the services we offer click here.

Hundreds of Veterans are helped with this Treatment Protocol! Mission 22 has partnered with Fayetteville Hyperbarics LLC to create an intensive 5-8 week program to treat Traumatic Brain Injuries and Post Traumatic Stress.
More than 350 Veterans have reclaimed their lives by pursuing a treatment protocol which includes Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). The most effective results are experienced through enlightened clinics offering unique, collaborative regimens.
In Louisiana, Dr. Paul Harch treats Veterans with TBI and PTSD using HBOT. In Colorado, The Miracle Workers of South Boulder Road do the same while adding counseling and a physical training element.
Dr. Hedayat has developed a personalized, whole person approach to healing veterans. PTS is not in your head and it's not just a brain disorder. It involves physical, mental and emotional interactions. The program emphasize extensive bloodwork to find whole herbs, diet and lifestyle changes that give you the tools to manage your life and bring your body back to balance. Mission 22 has huge success and life changing results with veterans that have completed this program.

Most Helpful Guy
If they like you and what they want (booty call or serious relationship)
A little about what they like and do- so you can talk and relate interests/day life
A little about their morals/beliefs on life
Where they stand on things that matter to you
There are other things, but that's too much to expect from a first date unless you turn it into an interrogation.22|00|0
Yoou can actually find many of these things out without directly asking. Simply relaying stories about yourself where he gets to express interest/opinions and ask questions will tell you about him.

This video was uploaded by Harman of Radio Australia, where he films a local Australian called Simon, quizzing him on what he knows about Sikhs and how he feels about immigration.
Astonishingly, Simon actually knows straight away that a Sikh should keep their hair uncut so immediately asks Harman why he hasn't got his hair if he is Sikh. Harman explains that his parents keep their Kes, and he is now on a path to re-connect with his Sikhi and will hope to grow his hair again.
Simon states he happily accepts the beliefs and behaviours of Sikhs in Australia and prefers Sikh values over the values of some other ethnic minorities.
Before the end Simon even states he is considering becoming a Sikh himself, simply because of how much he has enjoyed learning about Sikhs and their values.

The House of Secrets
I read the House of Secrets it's a book about mystery and action.
The book of Doom and Desire
This is the book of Doom and Desire if you put a wish on a piece of paper and stick it in your wish would come true. I chose this object because Dahila Kristoff, the wind witch wanted to rule the world, but her father made a wish. The wish was Dahila couldn't be within 10 feet of reach or it would disappear.
Kristoff House
This is Kristoff house. The reason I chose this picture is because a family moves into a mansion, but it is haunted. The house is named Kristoff house because Denver Kristoff built a house and he wrote books all day. One day he made the book of Doom and Desire he had gone mad with power and called himself the Storm King. Kristoff made tunnels through out the house in the walls.
The Wind Witch
This is the terrible wind witch also known as Dahila Kristoff. She is a big part in the story she is the one who banished Cordelia, Brendan and Elanor to her father's books a land of torture pirates, giants, pilots, heroes and savage warriors. Dahila had told the kids to put a wish in the book. Her wish was Dahila Kristoff will rule the world.
Fat Jagger
Fat Jagger is a helpful,sweet and protective friend to the Walker kids. When the kidss were in danger with the wind witch he saved them. He never ate them when they first met. He just picked up Kristoff house and started carrying them like a waiter does with a tray. E

200 Third Grader
November 27, 2011 by staff
200 Third Grader, An Ohio third-grader weighing more than 200 pounds has been taken from his family and placed into foster care when county social workers said his mother wasn't doing enough to control his weight.
The Plain Dealer reports that the 8-year-old is considered severely obese and at risk for diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
The Ohio Health Department estimates more than 12 percent of third-graders statewide are severely obese. The removal of the Cleveland child is the first state officials can recall of a child being put in foster care for a strictly weight-related issue.
Lawyers for the mother say the county is overreaching in taking the child. They say the medical problems the boy is at risk for do not yet pose an imminent danger to his health.
Cuyahoga County does not have a specific policy on dealing with obese children, the Plain Dealer reported. A spokeswoman for the Department of Children and Family Services told the newspaper that the agency removed the boy because case workers considered this mother's inability to get her son's weight down a form of medical neglect.

Women expats and family strains
The number of women expats is rising, but while things at work may go smoothly for them, issues outside the office often present stumbling blocks. Eileen Gunn, of CareerJournalEurope.com, reports.
The challenge of being an expatriate and working mother became real to Philippa Reid in a supermarket in Hungary.
The British executive had packed up her actor husband and three children in 1994 so they could join her on a three-year stint building Accenture's then-fledgling Central European consulting practice.
In a country where people still shop on a day-to-day basis, supermarkets don't bother to offer shopping carts.
So, buying her usual week's worth of groceries, Reid wound up toting nine hand baskets to the cash register.
"I thought the check-out clerk was going to have heart failure," she recalls.
But the big surprise still lay ahead. Unable to find Weetabix, her children's favourite breakfast food, she bought a box of muesli — usually a reliable fallback — only to discover back at home that the cereal was chock-full of Hungary's famous hot peppers.
Luckily, work went far more smoothly at Accenture.
"There were familiar standards and ways of doing things," Reid recalls.
The family settled in well enough for her to extend her tour to seven years and build the region's communications and high-tech practice from a crew of six to a staff of 265.
And she became the first managing director for a country within Accenture.
More support needed
Women have long been overlooked for foreign assignments despite their growing ranks in middle and upper management, but lately the number of female expatriates has been on the rise.
In 2001, 16 percent of the US's expats were women, according to an annual survey co-sponsored by GMAC Global Relocation Services in New Jersey. Not a large number, but it grew by three percentage points between 1993 and 2000, and that much again over the next year alone.
Reid's experience in Hungary, surprisingly smooth at work and bumpier on the "life" side of the equation, is often the case for women executives who head overseas with a family.
Companies that want executives of both sexes to seek out international experiences — Accenture, Bayer AG and AstraZeneca PLC are good examples — try to make sure overseas assignments are worthwhile career investments. So they set clear goals for the assignments, arrange for managers to keep overseas employees in touch with related business back home, discuss in advance how the overseas work contributes to long-term goals and look out for good return assignments.
But companies may still come up short when it comes to providing the extra social and family support that employees need overseas.
Women are more likely to "consider the implications of their decisions for the rest of the family and will agonise over it," notes Shelley Bird, a Canadian who spent 10 years in Asia and Europe for several different companies and who gave birth to a son in Singapore.
Indeed, New York research firm Catalyst recently found that 44 percent of women executives sent abroad hoped for employer support for their spouse and family, but only 3 percent received it. And 79 percent wanted a formal network for themselves but only 4 percent got such help.
The trailing spouse
For starters, few spouses are able to get complementary foreign assignments. And the question of "what will my spouse do instead of working?" looms particularly large for female expats.
"You have to ask, 'if we view me as the sole breadwinner for now, how do we make this good for you?' " says Bird, whose husband trailed her to Singapore, France and the US.
Some men welcome the opportunity to be a stay-at-home dad for a few years — though this still turns a lot of heads in most countries. Others return to school or do volunteer work. One woman's husband, on leave from a job in the hotel industry, is taking advantage of her Paris assignment to bone up on French food and wine.
Some women have found hiring a language tutor and making the extra effort to mingle with local people pay off. Learning the subtleties of local culture rounds out the family's travel experience and also makes women expats more effective at work.
Bird's first job abroad was in Hong Kong, where making Chinese friends gave her insight into the typical, urban lifestyle there.
In particular, she learned that entertaining at home is rarely done because apartments are tiny and often crowded with extended family.
"I picked up on the fact that people on my team liked to play mahjong together, but didn't really have any place to do it," she recalls.
"I offered to let them stay late in the office on Friday nights, and it was a big deal" for them.
Similarly, the insight gave her more understanding of issues such as working from home.
In the US, says Bird, "it's the ultimate perk. But in Asia, having a nice office to go to is important for appearances. The attitude would be, 'what kind of company makes you work from home?' "
Befriending fellow expatriates can be particularly helpful for families with older children and teenagers. Pam Craig, a US partner for global business operations at Accenture, had two teenage boys when she sought and received an assignment in Japan.
She quickly learned that "people overseas are highly networked and can really help you out" with questions about schools, neighbourhoods, doctors and even children's activities. "We had help finding a local soccer team," says Craig, which quickly gave them an activity they liked.
Where's home?
The biggest surprise for many women who venture abroad is how long it takes them and their families to readjust when they return home.
Bird explains: "The country you're leaving no longer feels responsible for you, your company underestimates the reverse culture shock and wants you to work right away, and a lot of things happen that you don't think about."
For example, two years after she and her husband left France, they were still sorting out mistakes they'd made on their exit paperwork and taxes.
Reid's family went through huge, but typical, adjustments when they returned to the UK.
For starters, her five-year-old son had been born in Hungary and had grown up speaking more Hungarian than English.
"When we came home it wasn't home for him," she recalls.
And her daughter, now a teenager, was embarrassed because people in school remembered her and she didn't remember them."
Finally, she says, her husband had seen his acting career flourish in Hungary, where English speakers were in demand for plays, recordings and voiceovers.
He's acting less, given the competition for jobs in the UK, and spending more time managing the property of their new home, work he enjoys. He still returns to Hungary for acting jobs periodically.
Reid anticipated the upheaval, however, and asked for an assignment that would allow her to work parttime when she returned to the UK. As Bird points out, even if you're moving back home, "the place has changed and so have you."

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise
Great message poems for you to enjoy, discover and share as National Poetry Day approaches.
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
I plucked my soul out of its secret place,
And held it to the mirror of my eye,
To see it like a star against the
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down
No Rack can torture me—
My Soul—at Liberty—
Behind this mortal Bone
There knits a bolder One—
You cannot prick with saw—
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.
What matter where, if I be
Promise me no promises
So will I not promise you:
Keep we both our liberties,
Never false and never true:
Let us hold the
The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
I struck the board, and cried, "No more;
I will abroad!
What? shall I ever sigh and pine?
My lines and life are free, free
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
Riches I hold in light esteem,
And Love I laugh to scorn;
And lust of fame was but a dream,

The Dis-Info War. Be Careful [VIDEO]

In the spring of 2011 Hillary Clinton said "we are in an information war and we are losing that war." Although I cannot confirm the exact date and the full details on the hearing she delivered that speech, I can verify her words by providing a video of her speaking as evidence.
This is vitally important because "they" are also fighting a disinformation war against those who are now beginning to wake up, thanks to the great work of the few people and organizations such as The Sleuth Journal. Those of us that are at the forefront of this awakening process have to be very careful about the information we pass on. We must do all we can to verify and provide sources so that we do not lead others down the wrong path and secondly, as protection against libel law suits.
Here's a few examples that I've seen.
Several website forums were used to spread the rumor that one of the planes used in the 9/11 attacks had the flight number Q33 NY and that if you converted that number to a Wingdings font you got
Whilst it's true that Q33 NY in Wingding font does represent Q33 NY, none of the flights on 9/11 used that number. The globalist understand how the human mind works and in this example the use of the Star or David with regards to 9/11 will immediately make the subconscious mind link those events to Israel. Now just for the record I'm not saying if Israel was or wasn't involved in attack – because I'm not able to prove it. I'm merely pointing out that we can often be led down a certain path. A path that "they" want you to take.
The "Illuminati –New World Order" card game by Steve Jackson games from 1995 included a card titled "Conspiracy Theorist" in which it reads "While you control this group, you may have one extra plot card in your hand at all times."
Another perfect example is a quote that is supposed to have come from Obama's book "The Audacity of Hope". Many websites are quoting "I Will Stand With The Muslims Should The Political Winds Shift In An Ugly Direction." And they will even refer to Page 261 as if that proves its authenticity.
But, what you will actually find on page 261 of "The Audacity of Hope" 1st edition 2006 is –
"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
I do not believe that everyone sharing or posting quotes such as the example above are doing this with the goal of misleading people and it's not my intention to criticize or embarrass those that are doing the best they can to wake up the people, in fact I salute you. My purpose here is to warn all those who are in the battle against the globalist to be very careful about verifying information and sources to the best of your ability. In the long run this approach will have a much greater effect.
We are winning the Information War, don't let them win the Disinformation War.

Method of supplementary variables
In queueing theory, the method of supplementary variables is a technique to solve for the stationary distribution of an M/G/1 queue. It was introduced by David Cox[1] and David George Kendall.[2]

As I tend to do on Wednesdays, this morning I was clicking through the previews Comixology provides of newly-releasing comics. I like to check out books with my favorite characters, whose stories I'm sort of broadly following, even if I'm not buying each issue monthly (for whatever reason).
This morning I saw these two panels, in the preview for Spider-Woman #6, which is continuing the multiverse-hopping adventures of Jessica Drew, Cindy Moon, and Spider-Gwen:
The context here is that Jess has to go find her Earth-65 counterpart to find Gwen's multiverse-hopping teleport device (oh, comics). I didn't like seeing these panels. I tweeted about it. I was asked to consolidate my thoughts, so I'm doing that here.
First off, as I said, I'm not currently reading Spider-Woman. I dropped it when Jessica got pregnant. That was not a story I was interested in reading, particularly as written by a man. But I know what's going on with her. I am also not reading Spider-Women, because it doesn't include Anya Corazon and does include Spider-Gwen, and also, oh yeah, all the writers are men. Sensing a pattern?
Anyway, I bring this up again because there has been a lot of talk recently about who's making comics, and whose stories their telling. And why diverse voices improve your work; not just the broad stories you tell but the jokes you make, the dialogue, everything.
So here's why I don't like these two panels. In the context of a comic industry that fires Shelly Bond but keeps Eddie Berganza around, an industry where books with queer leads are cancelled and seven iterations of the same white men (and to a lesser extent, white women) prevail, an industry that brushes up against one that casts Scarlett Johannson or Tilda Swinton as Asian characters, what we have here is lip service.
In the first panel, there's acknowledgement that the multiverse contains infinite possibilities. Jess could be a black woman! Jess could have a girlfriend! But no worries, because when there are infinite possibilities the one we get to see is a straight white man (later, Ellen tells Jess that she and Jesse could be twins so, even though I'm not paying to see the actual result, I'll assume he's white also). Joke over, moving on.
This is what I mean by lip service. We all know, we all know that Earth-616 Jessica Drew is never getting a girlfriend. We know she's always going to be a white woman. But here Hopeless, and Marvel editorial, hold up a flag that says "hey, we acknowledge you exist, go us!" while simultaneously rarely letting us see ourselves anywhere outside a speech bubble.

This is a really cool plugin I have used many times. This is what I consider to be one of the three or four core plugins that I think should be part of the standard SiteCatalyst installation, and I have included it in every implementation I have done. What this does is it looks at every page view on the site and grabs the hour down to 15 minute block, the day of week, and classifies whether it is a weekday or the weekend.
Let's take a look at it. This bit of code is the main call to the plugin. This is pretty close to how the plugin originally looked, with one minor change. There is a part that had a hard coded year, that I replaced with a function that grabs the current year and uses that. The advantage to doing this is you do not have to update it every year. If you have many sites you keep an eye on then that is really not to practical. Here is the main call:
var theDate=new Date() var currentYear=(theDate.getFullYear()) s.prop1=s.getTimeParting('h','-5',currentYear); // Set Hour s.prop2=s.getTimeParting('d','-5',currentYear); // Set Day s.prop3=s.getTimeParting('w','-5',currentYear); // Set Weekend/Weekday
What you see here is I have it set up to populate sprop's 1, 2, and 3 with the three variables that this plugin populates. Another addition that can be done that I acutally do, is to add in a getValOnce to copy each variable over to an evar. That would look like:
var theDate=new Date() var currentYear=(theDate.getFullYear()) s.prop1=s.getTimeParting('h','-5',currentYear); // Set Hour s.eVar1=s.getValOnce(s.prop1,'s_evar1',0); s.prop2=s.getTimeParting('d','-5',currentYear); // Set Day s.eVar2=s.getValOnce(s.prop2,'s_evar2',0); s.prop3=s.getTimeParting('w','-5',currentYear); // Set Weekend/Weekday s.eVar3=s.getValOnce(s.prop3,'s_evar3',0);
As you can see here I grab each value and copy it to an evar on the first page of the visit. Now using this call does no good without the actual plugin itself, so here it is:
/* * Plugin: getTimeParting 1.4 - Set timeparting values based on time zone (15 min) */ s.getTimeParting=new Function("t","z","y","" +"dc=new Date('1/1/2000');var f=15;var ne=8;if(dc.getDay()!=6||" +"dc.getMonth()!=0){return'Data Not Available'}else{;z=parseInt(z);" +"if(y=='2009'){f=8;ne=1};gmar=new Date('3/1/'+y);dsts=f-gmar.getDay(" +");gnov=new Date('11/1/'+y);dste=ne-gnov.getDay();spr=new Date('3/'" +"+dsts+'/'+y);fl=new Date('11/'+dste+'/'+y);cd=new Date();" +"if(cd>spr&&cd<fl){z=z+1}else{z=z};utc=cd.getTime()+(cd.getTimezoneO" +"ffset()*60000);tz=new Date(utc + (3600000*z));thisy=tz.getFullYear(" +");var days=['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Fr" +"iday','Saturday'];if(thisy!=y){return'Data Not Available'}else{;thi" +"sh=tz.getHours();thismin=tz.getMinutes();thisd=tz.getDay();var dow=" +"days[thisd];var ap='AM';var dt='Weekday';var mint='00';if(thismin>1" +"5&&thismin<30){mint='15'}if(thismin>30&&thismin<45){mint='30'}if(th" +"ismin>45&&thismin<60){mint='45'}" +"if(thish>=12){ap='PM';thish=thish-12};if (thish==0){th" +"ish=12};if(thisd==6||thisd==0){dt='Weekend'};var timestring=thish+'" +":'+mint+ap;var daystring=dow;var endstring=dt;if(t=='h'){return tim" +"estring}if(t=='d'){return daystring};if(t=='w'){return en" +"dstring}}};" );
This plugin is really cool to see a simple way to find out at what time of day the traffic comes to your site. With a little creativity you will be surprised the new business questions you are able to answer.

Atmosphere - Nicholas Leduc
#1. The Atmosphere is made up of four layers. The Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and the Thermosphere.
#2. In the middle of the Stratosphere there is a part called the Ozone layer. The Ozone layer protects us from the suns dangerous ultraviolet rays.
#3. As you go higher in the atmosphere the changes. As you go, the Troposphere gets really cold. The Stratosphere gets warmer as you go higher. The Mesosphere gets cold as you go, and the Troposphere is the hottest of them all.
#4. Higher in the atmosphere there is less pressure. Down on the surface there is less space for the air molecules to be in so there is pressure because there is so much air. Higher in the Atmosphere there is less air because there is more space. There is less pressure because there is not a lot of air. As you go higher pressure decreases.
#5. The most common gases in the air are nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen makes up approximately 79% of our air and Oxygen makes up approximately 20% of our air. All of the other gases in our air only make 1% of it. You do breathe in the nitrogen you just breathe right back out.
#6. There is something that happens that is called the green house effect. This is what happens when the light comes through the atmosphere and gives of energy in the form of heat. It bounces of the Earth and back towards space. Because there is Carbon Dioxide in the air it traps the heat in. It keeps us warm.
#7. That thin layer of blue around the Earth is the Atmosphere. Even though the Atmosphere is about 320 Km tall It is very thin compared to the Earth. Even though it is so small it is the reason we are alive.
#8. There has been a rise in Carbon Dioxide in the past few years. You can help by not using a lot of things that produce Carbon Dioxide.

Criminalisation of Politics
Criminalisation of Politics can not be avoided ever till the time criminals are in Politics but who sends them , we voters. I should primarily say that we are in democracy and in democracy voters are behind every positive and negative happening because they choose their ministers to rule on behalf of them. So if there is criminal activities in politics then voters are the reason who ignited it. If they would have boycott criminals through voting then such situation would never arrive. But we can say our voters do not have vast thinking, they just think for their own or their surroundings. So we cannot totally blame voters but they are too reason for it.
As far as political parties are concern I agree that they take in confidence of voters. Hence major reason for criminalisation in politics is political parties but we cannot ignore the role of voters for boosting these parties to do so.
But if we think from a voter's perspective we have two points to think about:
Till the time we are human we will remain crimnal and so criminalization in politics will prevail.
1. Most of the rural area people have no access to media or news so how can they judge the parties without any knowledge so there is probability that they can vote for wrong candidate. So point is our information system should be improved.
2. And also when come to forming government party need majority of seats else you need to make mix government then those state parties will dominate the government in to their favour by giving the treat to withdraw their support from the party.
This leads to a corrupted system.
But again voters are also responsible for all the crime. They choose their party on the basis of religion, cast etc every time when election is held without seeing the present situation. If they vote strictly and oppose the corrupt party then crime etc can be eradicated. Voter is a god for all political parties. Political parties are spreading like a epidemic in all villages, districts, state and metropolitan area. In 90% case it is seen that political parties are responsible for the criminalization of politics. In 10% cases all voters who cannot understand which parties give us all facilities which they want.
They only vote for that party who give some money and other items at the time of election and they also campaign for some parties day to night without thinking that my child perform better in his house or not.
But we should not blame voters completely for all the crime. As most of the people in India are living in villages and they are very innocent and don't have great knowledge regarding power of their vote. As a result some ministers take people in confidence by illegal means(e.g. distributing money) and poor voters get trapped and left to suffer for the next 5 years.
And the politicians also promise too much before the elections, when time comes to put the words into action, they hardly remember anything.

When we talk about india we don't mean the 30% city folks but the rest 70% of the villagers as well. Though both of them are responsible for criminalization in politics but voters are far more responsible. Today literacy rate of india is 74.04% and still we choose a wrong government. Even if people know the background of the polling candidates they never tend to properly judge them or they "sell" their votes just for a few rupee notes. They don't understand that they themselves are making their future dark as the greedy today will be there leader tomorrow. Talking about rural india they atleast have the means of radio communication and newspapers or even if not this they attend campaigns still they choose wrong people and thus politicians take advantage of this. However you try to preach about but it will still not make anyone understand the importance of vote unless they feel to do so! Like we don't need education to understand rape,extortion,character and murder we don't really need education to understand the need to vote for right people. Its a self realization and obligation of an individual towards their country and for their better future as well.

And the good news is, he succeeded in meeting the expectations of his fans. But what is his next release? His next release is Inthi Ninna Preethiya, but this time, not as director but as a lyricist.
