Youknow... There is ONE ever lasting comment that seems not to wane nor become less as an opinion. Its the "realism" of the English vocals. I'm not going to give examples of "realism" though here, because if your not convinced, you never will at this point.
Realism is something of an issue thats been around since the very beginning and has brought into question about the Vocaloid engine and its capabilities. But for some reason, English vocaloid gets that "Microsoft Sam can do better" level of reaction towards realism. Yet... Right off the bat, since V2, before Miku even came out Sweet Ann was noted for the uncanny valley level of capabilities that were being given out by Vocaloid2. Then there is the classic "Prima and Tonio have been known to fool long time opera fans" example.
Finally... I decided to show a few people Oliver singing, without telling anyone its a computer software signing... They'd never heard of "Vocaloid" and thought Oliver was real until I explained her wasn't. I did this two years ago and the people were my mother, landlady and two friends of hers. They are all 55+ years old. :-/
So... The way people react towards English vocaloids and "realism" is kinda off. WE know their not real so WE look out for the errors and the way they don't sound right. And in the age of autotune, honestly, it means your LESS likely to even bother looking out for fake vocals and more likely to presume everything with the slightest bit of machine-editing is just autotuning. Synthesizers, for those of a older generation such as my mother's generation, don't even consider synthesizers at times because synthesizers in their day just didn't do vocals and the few that did sounded really bad. They've never come across the "vocaloid" level of synthesizer, which CAN have that "uncanny valley" feeling.
Then we get onto the other languages... I remember when I first lurked in the fandom in 2009, Miku wasn't considered what she is today. Yes, we know she is unrealistic (though with good editing can sound realistic), but once... I saw her compared to English vocals as being more realistic. At that point the Japanese still considered English vocals more realistic because most of their vocals were like Miku. I mean, this point don't forget the number of vocaloids to them was only about 8 for Japan. Not a great selection and all but 4 were realistic; 2 were on V1.
Its taken a while to make people understand that English vocals are difficult to recreate because of how much variation there is in the English tongue. But sometimes... I think Vocaloid fans tend to over exaggerate things.
I bring this up because; http://www.vocaloidotaku.net/index.php?/topic/58394-vocaloids-and-realism/, there is one comment there that says that English Vocaloids don't sound like real people and then they go onto say Japanese and Spanish can.
Regardless of what anyone says; they can do realism, whether or not you care to accept that much they CAN sound like real people.
After spending some time trying to work out why everyone jumps on the "they don't sound realistic" bandwagon, I've started working out half o the reasons why this is a presumption. Putting aside the fact I mentioned earlier that people if they know a vocaloid is a vocaloid they go in knowing their not real... Part of it is also down also to the fact they get these English capablities thing stuck in their head. Bad English capabilities =/= a sign of lack of realism. Its just as good/bad tuning do not equal bad/good vocaloid. Its all in the hands of the producer and producers learn work around when faced with a bad sound.
But here is the thing... If people can pick up that Puppycat "sounds like a Vocaloid" even if they don't know more then the CFM 6, then there is *something* familiar all vocaloid share. Its also a sign Oliver is on par with Miku if they can do so, so at the very least English vocaloid must be on par with a Vocaloid once held in 2009 as more realistic then a English vocaloid. You see where I'm going with this line of thought right...?
I don't know... I go on about English vocaloid a lot so everyone is tired of me saying this stuff. At this point I thought some of these things would be gone as more languages enter the realm of Vocaloid.
Its just every time this issue comes up, people will post examples of realism and they still only amount to Japanese, and now occasionally Spanish, as examples of "vocaloids sounding realistic". So Chinese and Korean still need work it seems.
Honestly... I don't know about this whole issue of "Realism" anyway.
This is like that "there has been no improvements to English vocaloids" comment I saw last year.... Yeah sure, English vocaloid itself still needs work even with Diva out. But to say this comment basically meant that English vocaloid never got any better then Leon and Lola. Just in V1 alone, there were improvements between them and Miriam. Aside from Sonika (who has CONSTANTLY been used as a example to run English vocaloid down since she was released), there isn't any bad vocals. Sure, many of the Japanese -> English vocals need work; English vocaloid will always face the accent problem and honestly, non-natives will always prove to be the hardest to work with.
But to say English Vocaloid hasn't improved at all is basically Vocaloid itself hasn't improved since 2004, which as we know is BS because every Vocaloid doesn't sound like a V1. So to say "English vocaloids can't do realism", is basically saying the Core engine that powers English, magically can't recreate the human voice that allows it to make Spanish or Japanese vocaloids magically "realistic". If we imagine for a moment that every vocaloid language so far was equally on par with each other, they are once again saying "Vocaloid can't do realism". Yeah, it can't... But isn't this the whole issue with Vocaloid???
Its about being "uncanny valley" levels of realism.
Its also why extra vocals like the appends exist (once again) because every single vocaloid can only create a monotone level of realism. You have to do a lot of editing (and is the point of why XSY and vocalolistener exist) before you get anything that could pass for a real singer. But so long as the listener knows thats a vocaloid and the "noise" of the engine exists, this has points of which the logic will always be flawed.
Long story short the message I'm trying to say is;
Every vocaloid is capable of bloody being realistic - just because you can't tell when a Japanese nor Spanish vocaloid is not being realistic don't presume that the other 3 languages (English, Korean and Chinese) can't sound realistic at all.
This includes English vocaloids!

Italy's terrestrial border unwinds for a total length of 1,913 km, mostly following the line of the natural watershed across the entire Alpine range. On rocky ridges and stable terrains, its contour is materialised through 8,043 boundary stones and metal plaques. On the snowfields and perennial glaciers that shape the watershed at higher altitudes, where permanent physical markers would be impossible, the only trace of the border is preserved in the official maps published by Istituto Geografico Militare, Italy's national mapping agency.
The border's path derives to a great extent from the provisions of the Treaty of Peace signed by Italy in 1947, after the end of the Second World War. Its short history reflects many facets of political developments in 20th-century Europe. While the border between Italy and Switzerland has not undergone great changes since the beginning of the 19th century, the one between Italy and Austria was extensively redrawn by the battles of the First World War and the one with France was altered by a number of "minor" territorial cessions at the end of the 1940s following the defeat of Fascist Italy in the war. The frontier with Slovenia, finally, is in fact the same as the one that separated Italy and Yugoslavia after 1954, the year when the Free Territory of Trieste ceased to exist.
Over the course of the last twenty years, almost every physical trace of these borders seems to have faded away: the frontiers that run through the Alps have undergone notable changes in their role and their nature. Up until the end of the last century, they defined a broad spectrum of international relations: from the friendly ties with France and Austria (NATO allies) to mediation with the economic and political enclave of Switzerland and the tightly-sealed border with the former Yugoslavia—de facto, the southernmost edge of the Iron Curtain. This scenario, today, seems to be a forgotten landscape, covered with the dust of the past.
The need for an accurate measurement of the national border has constantly driven the progress of technologies for spatial representation, from the early photogrammetry surveys of the 1920s, to the creation of trigonometric networks, to the final transition to digital co-ordinates of high-accuracy GPS measurements.
Since 1850, Alpine glaciers have experienced a 50% decrease in overall extension. Furthermore, the rate of shrinkage tripled between the 1970s and 2000. Cyclical variations of the ice surface have accumulated into permanent shifts and alterations of the glacier geometry, causing significant drifts of the watershed line and, as a result, the coinciding national borders.
As a consequence of the progressive retreat of the glaciers, the Alpine watershed has undergone considerable displacements in recent years, making it necessary to renegotiate the terms of the boundary between Italy and the adjoining states. The shift in the line of the watershed can take place both in altitude (when a glacier thins or disappears, allowing the emergence of the ridge of rock underneath, which therefore becomes the new and definitive dividing line), and on the surface (slippage and retreat of the glacial basins that result in a modification of its course).
The main European watershed runs across the Alpine region, organising and dividing the continental river network into drainage basins and river catchments. Although this feature demonstrates topography as a system with an organised hierarchy, it is often difficult to discern on the territory, as it can correspond to different elements, such as mountain ridges, passes, valley floors, wetlands, or underground culverts. As a continuous, uninterrupted line, it therefore exists primarily on a map, rather than being an indisputable element of the territory.
Early observations by the Istituto Geografico Militare acknowledged the problematic uncertainty of the limits between Italy and its adjacent countries. A new definition of movable border was eventually achieved through a 2006 agreement between the governments of Italy and Austria and a law concerning the frontier with Switzerland, approved by the Italian Parliament in 2009. Since 2008, the Istituto Geografico Militare has been carrying out campaigns at high altitude every two years to detect any (irregular and unpredictable) shift in the borderline and update the official maps.
The Italian Limes project started in 2014 with a survey of a 1-km section of the Austrian-Italian border at the foot of Mount Similaun, in the Ötztal Alps. A network of five GPS probes were installed on the ice sheet of the Grafferner glacier, following a significant shift in the border measured by the Istituto Geografico Militare in 2012. The sensors tracked the movements of the border throughout the Spring and Summer, until they were buried by new-fallen snow in late September 2014.
On April 2nd, 2016, a new expedition has been carried in order to measure with newly designed instruments the same stretch of the border that had been studied during the previous phase of the project. A new set of sensors has been installed under the guidance of representatives of the CGI (Italian Glaciological Committee) and geophysicists from the OGS (National Institute of Oceanography and of Experimental Geophysics).
The measuring units are arranged into a grid that covers a 1sqm area across the watershed, and they provide data for a precise description of the border's shifts by detecting any change in the altitude of its points. Additional measurements were done on the site during the expedition, and a geophysical survey of the glacier was performed. These data, along with feeding the art installation with a live representation of the border, will help to better understand the climate change dynamics on the Alps during Spring and Summer 2016.
The measuring units installed on the glacier are solar-powered devices based on an Arduino microcontroller. They have been designed to record precise altitude measurements and a series of other environmental data, useful to understand their location and the weather conditions on the glacier. Their data are processed remotely in order to monitor any change in the glacier surface, detecting in real time the evolution of the watershed geometry.
Data is recorded internally and transmitted every two hours through a GPRS/GSM network provided by TIM. The data received from the sensors are translated into a live, automated representation of the shifts in the border by the drawing machine in the installation. During the design phase, the sensors were tested at -30°C inside EuroCold Laboratories' facilities at the University of Milano–Bicocca.
The Italian Limes installation is composed of three main elements organised along a linear structure: a raised-relief model of the glacier case study; a collection of unpublished documents and maps from the archives of Istituto Geografico Militare; a drawing machine that allows for a real-time representation of the Austrian-Italian border.

Released in late 1976, at the height of Willie mania, The Troublemaker is Willie Nelson's first all-gospel album, but country gospel in his hands doesn't sound like traditional country gospel – it's a Willie album, through and through, performed with the freewheeling Family as support. Consequently, it's every bit as wonderfully idiosyncratic as any of his other mid-'70s work and, in some ways, even more so, because inspirational songs and religious material are usually not given arrangements as imaginative and free-spirited as this.(Stephen Thomas Erlewine - AllMusic Guide)
This double-disc set is cross-licensed to include key tracks from 40 years of recording! Includes Night Life; Hello Walls; Me and Paul; Bloody Mary Morning; Funny How Time Slips Away; Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain; On the Road Again; If You've Got the Money I've Got the Time; Georgia on My Mind; My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys; Always on My Mind; Pancho and Lefty; Highwayman, and more. 41 tracks!
A superb DVD with the self-effacing Willie Nelson performing an inspired selection of the best known songs of his long and continuing career. Willie was born in Abbott, Texas in 1933 into a desperately poor family, his parents abandoned him at a very early age and he was left with his grandparents, which s fate would have it was where Willie strummed his first guitar. From this faltering start the road ahead was never going to be a smooth one, but his desire to make music overrode any everyday issues such as earning enough to pay the bills or feed his family. It was this dogged dedication to his music that in 1960 spurred him to drive to Nashville armed with his guitar, a clutch of overdue bills and a 19 year old Buick that was about to push its last piston.
Just before becoming a paragon of "outlaw country" with the release of 1975's iconic RED-HEADED STRANGER on Columbia Records, Willie Nelson spent a brief and largely overlooked time at Atlantic, releasing only two albums. However, longtime fans now consider 1973's rock-&-roll-influenced SHOTGUN WILLIE and 1974's autobiographical concept album, PHASES AND STAGES, to be two of the Texas singer-songwriter's finest albums. THE COMPLETE ATLANTIC SESSIONS is an outstanding overview of Nelson's time with Atlantic, presenting both albums in full along with a complete 1974 show recorded at Austin's Texas Opry House for a planned live album that was scrapped when Nelson changed labels. Along with remastered sound and extensive liner notes, this three-disc set adds a total of 27 outtakes, demos, and alternate versions.
This CD commemorates Willie Nelson's 70th Birthday (April 30, 2003).
The catalog of Willie Nelson is so vast and rich that assembling an "essential" collection of only one or two discs seems nearly impossible. RCA's single-disc 1995 attempt was admirable and worthy, but doomed by space limitations. With a bit more room to move, Legacy's roomier two-disc collection is about close as anyone could hope to come. We get the full view of the great singer/songwriter's artistic journey.
"Hello Walls" and the evergreen "Crazy" hail from the days when Nelson was tooling around Nashville as a songwriter for hire but mystifyingly unable to connect as a solo artist. His transformation into a counterculture icon via the '70s "outlaw country" movement is marked by the likes of "Me and Paul" and "Bloody Mary Morning." His tremendous skill as in interpreter can be heard in such standards as "Blue Skies" and "Georgia on Mind," which helped make him a crossover success in the STARDUST era. Latter-day collaborations with everyone from Aerosmith ("One Time Too Many") to U2 ("Slow Dancing") show Willie's mercurial, eclectic nature. Add it all up and a portrait comes together of a man whose artistic vision has carried him across decades and stylistic shifts aplenty and seen him through in style.
Recorded between 1961 & 2002.

"At the end of class we have a challenge of the week where it takes part of our yoga practice and it brings it into daily life. So, we can challenge ourselves to be better people, emotionally, physically and focus better on our lives. It just reminds you to take the time to experience life rather than just living it."
Celeste shares her experience of classes at AEY (video clip)
Celeste Preston – Medical Billing
"Yoga with Gyanbindu is transformational. Her deep knowledge of the practices and her gift for teaching combine to provide a true healing experience. Each of her sessions is imbued with a power that opens the heart, strengthens the body, calms the mind and lifts the spirit. I highly recommend her services to anyone who wants more vibrant health."
Robin L. Schiesser – Licensed Acupuncturist
"I came to All Elements Yoga for help with PTSD two months after my husband's suicide. I started to experience emotional healing right away, and after two years of working with Gyanbindu in classes and private sessions, I'm feeling better than ever. Gyanbindu's knowledge and patience has been paramount throughout this process. As a bonus, the practices I have learned with Gyanbindu have also brought healing to a herniated disc in my back. I highly recommend All Elements Yoga to anyone who would like to cultivate emotional, mental, and physical health. It is a very friendly and nonjudgmental environment, and all who come (no matter how much or little yoga experience they have had) find it to be a very welcoming place."
Lynda – Professional Musician
In just one session I experience the deep peace and comfort of having a yoga class tailored exactly to my current needs. It was a blessing and an inspiration."
Ingrid Johnson – Parenting Coach
"For my frozen shoulder and constant pain in my arms , the yogic practices that Gyanbindu demonstrated and advised me to continue with has helped a lot in overcoming my problem. Arm pain is totally gone and shoulders are more than 90% recovered. I am extremely thankful."
Ranjan Sinha- India Railways
"The yoga classes here are an awesome resource for my everyday life…. it's set up so we want to return. That's how I feel, I want to come back. I want to keep learning and gain more experience, so that we feel better."
Bonnie share her experience at All Elements Yoga (video clip)
Bonnie DeFazio – Administration
"Yoga class with Gyanbindu is always an amazing experience. Her calm and confident presence creates the perfect atmosphere for exercise and relaxation. I leave her classes feeling clear, connected and strong."
Cori Chavez – Filmmaker
"I always look forward to my private yoga session with Gyanbindu. I feel so relaxed afterwards, which is important to me because my main goal is stress reduction. I'm excited by my flexibility progress in triangle pose, I never thought my back and sides would become more flexible. Gyanbindu always tailors my session to my needs that day. If I'm sick, she gives me just the right asanas to support my immune system, or if I have lots of energy she gives me a challenging and fun session. I especially love that Gyanbindu treats all of me, using a holistic approach through poses (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), meditation and chanting. She's the best!"
Sarah Eley – Fitness & Nutrition Coach
"On an August afternoon, I was riding my bike home from work when a CU student pulled out right in front of me. I flipped over the car's hood and landed hard. I tried to stand up but couldn't move, and then my breath left me, replaced by a wall of pain. I had broken my pelvis, one of my ribs, and one of my vertebrae. My shoulder was dislocated. Two of my discs had been knocked out of place and ruptured, the ligament that holds them in place torn. I stayed 5 days in the hospital where they taught me how to use a walker. I was 32 years old and had to re-learn how to walk.
When I got out, my HMO sent a physical therapist to my house. He said that my injuries were beyond his training. After a few weeks more of bed rest, I went to the head of the physical therapy department at my HMO's main clinic. Those two torn and leaking disks pressed against my spinal cord, sending constant twitches and lightning bolts of sciatic pain down both legs. The physical therapist was very good at her job, and very frustrated that she could not help me more. After a few sessions, she too told me that my body's injuries- specifically the spinal cord injury- was beyond what she could do for me, and she feared making me worse. Surgery seemed like the only option. I was told that about 50% of the time, this type of surgery helped long-term, and that there was always the risk of paralysis. So I started looking for other options.
I met Gyanbindu at a holistic health fair, and she seemed almost delusionally optimistic. Walking with a cane at that point, I asked her if she was even willing to take someone like me on- someone with a still-acute spinal cord injury. She said yes. I had never tried yoga before, and certainly didn't think of it as physical therapy. But Gyanbindu was willing to describe her proposed regimen to my team of doctors, and they were all reassured by her understanding of the types of movements that my spine simply had to avoid, lest the cord be injured worse.
That was about a year ago. Today, I don't even walk with a limp. Gyanbindu worked out a long-term plan and it has played out beautifully. During my first private yoga session, I could not even stand on my own two feet without holding onto a chair. Today I can do one footed balancing poses for minutes at a time. I even managed to avoid a $20,000 surgery they would have simply removed the two injured disks- by doing 1-to-1 sessions three times weekly. A recent MRI has shown that Gyanbindu's yoga practices have actually caused my ruptured discs to begin retracting back to where they belong. There is no way I would be at my current level of healing if not for Gyanbindu's patience, wisdom, individual attention, and guidance."
Dr. Michael VanElzakker – Neuroscience Researcher
"My sessions were powerfully relaxing in a way that left me with a deep calm and sense of well being. I felt so much more centered and fortified with a inner peace which allow me to appreciate my life and handle my life in a more satisfying, accepting and calm manner. I felt more present and in tune with my body during my sessions and afterward."
Robin Allegra – Artist & Homemaker
"I had shared with Gail (yoga instructor) that I had some aches and pains, maybe bursitis in my shoulder and she had variations of the exercises so that it doesn't hurt and that it is actually feeling so much better."
Pat shares her experience at All Elements Yoga (video clip)
Pat Ramachandran – Teacher
"Some of the things we learn in the class we tend to practice as a regular thing when we wake up in the morning, for example. That helps you going for the whole day."
Ram shares his experience al All Elements Yoga (video clip)
Ram Ramachandran
"I was so happy to discover All Elements Yoga (AEY) while visiting from out of town. The classes are balanced, well-sequenced and authentic. The quality of instruction was exceptional.

Thank you!"
D. Swander – Executive
"All Elements lends balance to the volatile daily pace that my business and personal life create. Their classes eliminate all unnecessary distractions so that you can truly focus in on where you are at spiritually & physically and the class schedule fits with when I enjoy yoga most!"
Joe Hudicka – Business Owner
"I have been practicing yoga for 30 years, but have not been able to find good instruction since moving to Hunterdon County. I have been extremely pleased attending All Elements – peaceful environment, clean, "true" yoga instruction for all levels. I look forward to my classes!"
Maggie share her experience of yoga at All Elements (video clip)
"I have been recovering from a back injury and I found that coming to yoga class regularly keeps me strong – to the point where I'm not afraid that I will have another back problem."
Maggie Peterson – Self Employed, Metal Distribution
"Have been taking yoga classes in Stamford, CT for about 18 months. I was thrilled to see a studio opening in Flemington and even happier now that I have taken classes. The environment is so balanced and the instruction is phenomenal."
Lori Ann shares her experience at AEY (video clip)
"When I leave the studio, all the noise in my head has just been silenced and it's such a nice way to experience life when you're able to just be still and present in the moment that you're in and be able to enjoy it and appreciate it without the stress and chaos that can so easily come into our lives."
Lori Ann Potash – VP, Supply Chain
"All Elements Yoga is a great addition to Flemington!!! Each class that I've attended has exceeded my expectations. The environment is tranquil, peaceful and clean. Looking forward to future classes."

NetClues provides almost immediate response to questions/emails and very quick turn around time for changes to the website. The "close the loop" emails confirming that changes have been made are also a welcome part of their workflow and communicate a sense of "above and beyond" customer service and professionalism.
Netclues was very professional and timely in the execution of our new e-commerce site. We have used this company for other web design projects and are consistently pleased with their professionalism. They always deliver the project on-time and will work to create solutions unique to our business. Highly recommended.
Easy to work with, good communication
Very happy with service and the guidance provided by Netclues. Customer service was very good and quite personal with one point of contact.
In our industry, food, beverage and service are the product we rely on, it is very hard to produce high quality but it is even harder to control it and market it to the consumer. While we concentrated in what we are good at, Netclues will take care of the rest, working and improving our guidelines and making sure that our effort in creating a great product, goes noticed and returns revenue.
It was and still is very nice to work with Netclues. The team is very polite and has given me quick answers, always trying to meet our needs. The quality of the work is very good!
All promises were kept and the quality of work is of a very high standard. The customer service is exceptional and the turn around time for job requests is fantastic.
This is my second web project with Netclues and they have once again proven to be extremely consistent, accommodating, and service-oriented. Easy to work with, knowledgeable, and willing to take the time you need to produce what you want. Great experience.

Elizabeth is drawn into a dramatic story from the American Revolution when she discovers a portrait of her ancestor, a girl called Zee, who has a striking resemblance to Elizabeth. The girls' lives intertwine and Elizabeth's present-day story alternates with Zee's. As Elizabeth learns about Zee, and walks where Zee once walked and battles raged, the past becomes as vivid and real as the present.

What is your favorite feature of your child?
As a spin off from Brandy's post, what is your favorite feature on your child? Don't get me wrong, I know we love everything about our kids, but what stands out to you?
With my son it's his eyes. He has pale orange eye lashes and pretty blue color. I wanted him to have the light brown eyes like his dad, but now I couldn't imagine him any other way.
With my daughter I am totally envious of her lips. I have these tiny little weird lips. She has these full, pretty lips. And she doesn't even need lipstick, they are naturally dark red. Mine are pale, tiny little things. I am so jealous, haha.
Lucas has amazing eyes!! They're beautiful brown and he has the longest dark eyelashes!!

To a large extent, the reality of global inequality is ignored or at best downplayed. However, this has not always been the case. Indeed, in the early 1950s, the first UN resolutions on development focused on inequality rather than poverty. Unfortunately, this decline of interest in inequality is not an indication of any improvement in global equality.
Despite the expenditure of billions of dollars on development aid and the launch of high-profile initiatives such as the Millennium Development Goals, the blight of hunger has not been defeated. If anything, its grip on hundreds of millions of people is as tight as ever.
In 2000, some 790 million people in the southern hemisphere were deprived of basic food security. According to the World Bank's 2009 Global Monitoring Report, the number of chronically hungry people—those consuming under 1,800 calories a day—rocketed upwards when the global economic crisis hit. The number went from 850 million in 2007 to 960 million in 2008. By mid-October 2009, the figure had risen to over a billion, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. To put this in perspective, this total exceeds the combined population of the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The report from the Working Group on solidarity levies made for the Task Force of the Leading Group for Innovative Finances is now on the website.
From September 20 to 22 a 'High Level Plenary Meeting' will be held at the UN in New York to look at the achievements concerning the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Once again, non governmental organizations in wealthy countries are mobilizing their troops in order to push for more development aid.
For those who might not remember: the MDGs are 8 objectives, 16 targets and 60 indicators concerning development cooperation. They aim at halving extreme poverty between 1990 and 2015, providing primary education for all children, gender equality and empowerment for women, fighting HIV/aids and malaria, reducing child and maternal mortality and caring for a better environment. The eighth and not quantified objective concerns the obligations of rich countries: more development aid, debt relief, access to their markets, affordable medicines and new technology.
The UN wants its member states to take vigorous action. Five years before the final date, the aim is to see what has happened and what remains to be done.

Read more: Global Poverty Reduction Policies? Some reflections on the next UN Summit
Twenty years after the World Bank introduced – for the second time – its proposals for poverty reduction strategies and ten years after the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals and the Poverty Reduction Strategies Papers, some very difficult questions remain: Why is poverty such a persistent problem? What are its root causes? Why do some countries have success and others have not? And most of all: how to correct the situation?
Since the international organisations put poverty on the political agenda in the 1990s, little has been heard about inequality. This is quite amazing, since it was the income gap between rich and poor countries that gave rise to the development project after the Second World War. The first UN resolutions on development do not mention poverty, but they do refer to the huge inequalities between developed and under-developed countries.
With the new poverty agenda of the World Bank and the human development programme of the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), both introduced in 1990, people, if not individuals, clearly have become the objects of development. There certainly are good reasons to welcome this shift, since development without benefits for people would be rather meaningless. But one also has to recognise the perfect convergence of this shift with the emergence of a neoliberal agenda that tried to weaken states and deprive them of their economic role. If countries are neither the objects nor the driving forces of development but only have to create an enabling environment and care for the extremely poor, there clearly is a new development agenda and there are good reasons to analyse all its consequences.
It is a real pleasure to read the books of Ha-Joon Chang. In fact, his most recent work has nothing new. It presents in a very clear and comprehensible way the results of his former research. His objective is to give people more knowledge and to equip the reader with an understanding of how capitalism really works.
Reading this book is real fun, however serious the catastrophe of 2008, created by free-market ideology, has been.

Comments about Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs:
I love the Navitas raw cacao powder, and decided to try the nibs as well.
They are very bitter and not crunchy. Biting on them feels like chewing wood. I am not sure what to do with them at first, and then found out toasting them give them a crunchier texture and brings out the chocolate flavor.
I would highly recommend toasting them before adding to cookies or deserts.
Comments about Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs:
This is a wonderful brand that I have purchase many of my superfoods and other things from. This is also a great product to have for many desserts and just in general for snacking if you like that crunchy texture. If you have never had cacao nibs I will warn you now that these are slightly bitter espesially if you are not used to eating things that are not sweet like if you eat a lot of candy and artifically sweetened foods. Your taste buds will be different and will taste bitter to that person. I also recognize them as being bitter but they are also very crunchy and I like that. I also think that it can be an aquired taste so you have to get used to them but they are great pick me up for the middle of the day slump and a great alternative to chips as they have a crunch bitter sweet texture !! :) I would certainly reccomened them to anyone looking to try something new as they may like what they taste!
Comments about Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs:
i look forward to using this product to make me some chocolate milk year round. everyone has been saying great things about the cocoa powder. It doesn't cost a lot of money for the size of the bag. I'm going order mine from amazon. their prices is great. i want to better my self health wise and this can help me start that journey little my little. i'm going to get everyone hooked on this product and have them telling their friends, family, and co-workers about this chocolate powder. i been wanting to try this product for a very long time. this would cut down my cost for buying the box of hot chocolate. i can use this all year round. hot chocolate in the winter and chocolate milk in the summer. wish me good luck on trying try product and loving it so i can come back for more. Then i can get my brother and mother and niece hook on this of course once they try it. my brother will try any thing that taste good.
Comments about Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs:
I use Navitas Cacao nibs and the powder. The nibs are best in cookies or other baked items.
I appreciate the high quality of Navitas. The fact that cacao is a an antioxidant means a lot to me, since I am seeking for products that help my body to inhibits the oxidation of other molecules." Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons or hydrogen from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals. In turn, these radicals can start chain reactions" which can cause cancer cells to grow. (see Wikipedia).
I use cacao in my smoothies, and low carb chocolate cake. I use almond flour instead of white flour.
I started my healthy eating lifestyle little by little. I attended classes and have read books to learn what foods help my body and which foods deter my body from its primary functions.
I recommend Navitas cacao nibs as a part of enjoying the source of chocolate and a part of eating foods that helps bodies fight cancer.
Comments about Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs:
While I really want to give this product a very good five rating, I only gave it a four good rating because of the price. Naturally, all natural products are going to be more expensive because they aren't adding fillers or artificial cheap ingredients to the product to boost their profit margin while knocking out the competition. So yes they are expensive, but they are worth it. I would definitely recommend this product, and yes I do buy it rather frequently. If you are trying to take this everyday as a health "supplement", I'd say go for a different brand or product, but if you are trying to use this to replace your "cravings" for chocolate, I'd say go for it. I used to buy Godiva every now and then to splurge when I had a craving but now I opt for these. I also make my own at home lotion bars and will throw these in the bottom of the molds for a pretty texture and appearance.
Comments about Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs:
I've heard a lot of great things about cacao in the media. It's been deemed, among many, a "super food" that will energize you and supposedly tastes pretty good. This cacao nibs are pretty tasty, but they aren't worth the high price. Not to mention, my body didn't react well to eating anything more than one servings worth at a time. I wouldn't recommend these unless you have extra money to spend and want something with chocolate but is also healthy.
Comments about Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs:
I'm a believer in the natural foods healing powers. I haven't actually experienced and life changing experiences with this but I know it has not hurt my diet. I use it in smoothies and often just take a spoonful on my way out the door to run. I can say that it keeps me from getting really hungry mid run (I know that seems strange, but it happens to me around mile two every time) and it keeps me from feeling dehydrated after a run. There is no flavor to these little guys at all...I also often sprinkle it on my salad!

Absorption Rate Limit Considerations for Oral Phosphate Prodrugs Absorption Rate Limit Considerations for Oral Phosphate Prodrugs Tycho Heimbach,1 Doo-Man Oh,2 Lilian Y. Li,1 Markus Forsberg,3 Jouko Savolainen,4 Jukka Leppa¨nen,4 Yasushi Matsunaga,5 Gordon Flynn,1 and David Fleisher1,6 Received February 19, 2003; accepted February 28, 2003 Purpose. To evaluate the potential of phosphate ester prodrugs to significantly improve the absorptive flux of poorly soluble parent drugs. Methods. Absorptive transport studies of parent drugs and their pro- drugs were carried out in Caco-2 cells. Prodrugs of parent drugs with variable aqueous solubilities were tested: Hydrocortisone-phosphate/ Hydrocortisone, Fosphenytoin/phenytoin, TAT-59/DP-TAT-59, and Entacapone phosphate/Entacapone. Additional absorption studies were carried out in rats. Results. Absorptive fluxes of DP-TAT-59 and phenytoin increased 9.8 or 3.3-fold after dosing TAT-59 and 500 �M fosphenytoin, re- spectively. Hydrocortisone's flux did not increase with hydrocorti- sone-phosphate at 100 �M. Permeability of the highly lipophilic and protein bound compound, DP-TAT-59, was significantly increased with serosal albumin. No permeability increase was observed for the other drugs with albumin. Entacapone phosphate failed to improve the flux of entacapone compared to an entacapone solution, but the prodrug solution did yield higher entacapone plasma levels in rats when compared with an entacapone suspension. Conclusion. Ideal phosphate prodrug candidates are characterized by high permeability and low solubility (BCS Class II drugs). For low dose BCS Class II drug candidates, however, no biopharmaceutical advantage may be gained. Phosphate prodrugs of parent drugs with limited permeability may fail. When screening highly lipophilic par- ent drugs transport studies should be done with albumin. KEY WORDS: absorption; caco-2; permeability; phosphate ester prodrug; protein effects.

Contagion effect of enabling or coercive use of costing model within the managerial couple in lean organizations.
- Authors
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
In the lean strategy is enabling formalization behaviour expected at the lower levels of management to be successful. We study the contagion effect between the superior, middle manager, of the lower level manager. This effect is proposed to be a dominant contingency variable for the use of costing models at the lower levels of management. Thus the use of costing models at the middle manager level is an important key to be successful with the lean package. <br/>

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
Can someone tell me why there is the need of asterick for char *argv[]. Does this make argv[] a pointer?
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
Can someone tell me why there is the need of asterick for char *argv[]. Does this make argv[] a pointer?
argv is an array of char pointers, that's why there is an asterisk. Frankly speaking I myself doesn't know much about command line arguments, so other's reply will be more helpful.
By associating with wise people you will become wise yourself
It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure
We've got to put a lot of money into changing behavior
PC specifications- 512MB RAM, Windows XP sp3, 2.79 GHz pentium D.
IDE- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition
argv[] is an array of pointers to string constants.
incorrect !
How informative it is... We can only try to guess what is so incorrect about it.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
I like GLSam's answer "How informative it is!", comment of a logical thinker.
argv[] ??? - NO
*argv[] <--- YES, this is what I meant
Just kidding ! NVM!
Basically, it can be written as **argv or *argv[] as argv[] is equivalent to *argv.
If *argv, it means that it takes a string.
If **argv, it means that it takes many strings. For example you create a programme called "scan". What you do here is to firstly type in the programme's name (scan) and followed by arguments/parameters when you are using the programme.
eg. scan -sP -PN 127.0.0.1
So, scan is the first string, -sP is the second string and so on. if you put *argv or argv[] only, it will only read one string (most likely scan).
int argc will tel you the position of the parameters. argc = 0 would be scan, argc = 1 would be -sP.
If you do not understand, please ask further.

We have an opening in my department, but haven't had much success with finding someone qualified. We have posted on craigslist (which I've had success with before), Linkedin, SpiceWorks, and posted in the local newspaper.
Has anyone had luck finding IT talent on job sites like Monster, CareerBuilder, Dice, etc...? Are any of them better than the other?

Strictly from the hunting side, I've put in for jobs posted on Monster, never had any luck there. Dice, an occasional call back. CareerBuilder seems to be a little more locally oriented, and it's worked out well for me.
Aug 22, 2011 at 12:25 UTC
I check Dice regularly and typically never hear back except from recruiters, even on jobs I feel I am way overqualified for, so there must be some talent on there.

It's hot outside, the corn fields are starting to get tall and you can find us at the pool pretty much everyday. Yep, summer is here and the 4th of July is right around the corner. I find that I often have people visit us for the 4th of July and I love coming up with fun food to celebrate. These fruit, granola and ice cream parfaits are the perfect way to celebrate the holiday and I've got some free printables to go with!
Here in Kansas City Sprouts Farmers Markets having been popping up all over the place, Sprouts is a neighborhood grocery store that has the feel of a farmers market and health food store in one. They have a fantastic bulk bins section with nuts, seeds, granola, and treats. I was super Impressed with the granola selection! Have you ever put granola on your ice cream? Two words- do. it.
To make these fun parfaits I picked up the Sprouts organic gelato- the packaging totally sold me, so cute! I was so pleasantly surprised to open them up and find this beautiful swirl, I mean, right?! I'm totally in love with the creaminess of these, so good.
I picked three granola's from the Sprouts bulk bins, but easily could have chosen a few more. My favorite for an ice cream parfait is the chocolate hazelnut, duh. :) Chopping up strawberries and blueberries makes it "healthy" ice cream, right?! and of course it adds our red and blue that we need to celebrate the 4th of July!
To display the granola I put them in quart mason jars and added these super cute printable labels. I like to print out labels like this on card stock and I just use my normal home ink jet color printer. Super easy and yet so cute for display! All three of these granolas are available at Sprouts.
You can download the granola labels HERE
What are you making for the fourth of July? Make sure to check out my entire 4th of July gallery HERE. If you make anything from the blog I'd love to hear in the comments or tag me on Instagram (@handmadeintheheartland) or Facebook! It makes me so happy to see you using these recipes!
If you are setting up an entire parfait bar I've got ya covered with some cute printable tags- just tape them onto craft sticks and stick them in your bowls or little jars with marbles in them next to the items. You can download the parfait bar printables HERE
Need to save this for later? Pin the image below!
Sprouts is awesome- all my supplies for these parfaits were purchased there!

I know that there was some serious shift on the show's texture after the third season, but I can't really explain clearly how the show seemed to changed greatly in Seasons 4-8. During Seasons 1-3, the show and its mythos felt very intriguing, but somewhere after the third season (maybe moreso after fourth), the show started to become...less intriguing, I guess. I don't really know how to explain it, but maybe someone else can explain it better than me.

Comments about Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada After Sun Moisturizer:
purchase this sunscreen every summer because I love the way it went on so smoothly. We spend a lot of time outdoors either down the beach or in the back yard by the pool! I needed something that would protect my skin from not burning and still allow me to get a hit color. This product always does great! It has a very nice scent and it absorbs into your skin quickly. It doesn't feel greasy at all and does leave you feeling oily. The design of the bottle is efficient as well because it closes tight leaving no leaking issues or exploding in your bag. My fiance normally is weary of wearing "woman's lotions and creams" but he actually really likes this one as well because it does not leaving an oily greasy residue all over you, it's an easy application, and the scent is light and beautiful. This is most certainly a must of for summer sunscreen! Scent The scent of the sunscreen is light and beautiful! Absorption It absorbs into your skin right away not leaving a sticky greasy residue behind. Effectiveness is above and beyond any other after the sun cream in my opinion. It's perfect for after a day laying out by the pool or on the beach, leaves a calm cool texture on your skin!

Comments about Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada After Sun Moisturizer:
When recently traveling to Florida on vacation I was getting a lot of sun (and my boyfriend was getting very burnt) so we needed a good lotion to fight the burn while there. We had the aloe gel to put on at night but we wanted something that would work just as well but we could wear when we were getting dressed up (so it wouldn't ruin our clothing) We decided to buy this and it worked great. It gave us that cooling relief we wanted and it didn't mess up our clothing. It would be a great buy for anyone on a tropical vacation.
Overall the scent was great for our tropical getaway. It kept up in the mood of vacation and beach fun. It was not too overpowering either which was great for when we wanted to go out at night.
This product was great. Typically when burnt I use aloes to cool my skin but they are so messy and you can never put your clothes back on after application. This product was a great solution. It still gives the same cooling sensation without messing up your clothing.
This product did a great job at moisterising my skin and relieving the burn from our sunburns.
Comments about Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada After Sun Moisturizer:
I can not get enough of this moisturizer. I use it every time I get out of the sun. I even use it then I get a little more sun than I wanted, it soothes mildly burnt skin and smells great. It does help to keep your tan longer. I have used this product for two years now and look forward to seeing it on the shelf every summer.
I can feel it working as soon as it touches my skin and hours after I have rubbed it on. The day after my skin feels soft,nourished and moisturized. My tan looks even better when I use this to moisturize my skin after a shower. My tan glows after and I don't feel the need to have to tan everyday. Its like it refreshes your tan.
Ease of Application
The pump on the bottle works great, make sure you tun the knob to closed when you are done using it. It is a little thick and a little goes along way.
The light sent of lime has always been a favorite of mine. The lime cooled frangrance lasts for hours and very pleasant. I also use in in the winter time to remind me of warm weather.
Comments about Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada After Sun Moisturizer:
After you have been in the sun use Hawaiian Tropic Line Coolada after sun moisturizer to cool your skin. It leaves your skin soft and cools your sunburn. You feel you have just given yourself one of the nicest moisturizing baths ever. The aloe in it cools down any burn you may have gotten or just makes you feel good.
Comments about Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada After Sun Moisturizer:
After eyeing (and smelling) this product on vacation in Vegas and California several times, I finally bought it when back in the midwest. I am a sun worshipper (as bad as that may be) and wanted a lotion specifically for after you have been in the sun tanning.
Overall I like this lotion. It smells great (Lime Coolada is the fragrance) if you like tropical scents, which I do. It's also a nice thick (not watery) lotion, which I love. However, I don't think there's that much different than just using any normal lotion. It says it has shea and cocoa butter, island botanicals, and aloe vera. But really, I think you'd be just as well off buying any random drug store or specialty store body moisturizer or lotion. And honestly, after application it can leave you a little sticky almost.
This product was fairly inexpensive, works, and smells great. So overall I really like this lotion. I would however consider buying a different aloe vera product if you were planning to use this on sunburns.

Diabetes goes portable!
Introducing Crispy Cones, the new portable obesity device hitting food courts everywhere.
I have to admit I'm baffled by the Crispy Cone website. Usually new food products don't try to make a claim of health if they are obviously junk (processed meat, cheese and empty carbs? Come on!!!). I can cut "borderline" healthy foods like veggie wraps and Cesar salads a break. At least Tacone wraps are better than burgers. But this product is just ridiculous. Crispy cones are basically pizza and tacos in new packaging. And what packaging – processed, hydrogenated bleached flour!
The makers rave about the convenience, and boy do they brag about the no-drip capability of their patented (ooooh) cone. They even point out that hand-held food is – yes – environmentally-friendly. Okay…
When did food stop being a meal and start being something we do while we're doing other stuff? I'm constantly amazed at how people eat while on the phone, driving, even in meetings. A generation ago, it was considered a pretty horrifying display of bad manners to eat this way, but I guess it's what we do now. It sure hasn't made us healthier or slimmer.
The fact that Crispy Cones actually insist on the health of their product is what gets me most. The laugh you will get from the "Go Healthy" tab of the website is worth the click. If this is healthy, God help us!

I've been trying to go with days where I don't wear any makeup or do anything to my hair. Is this less attractive then someone who does natural looking makeup and straightens, curls, whatever, their hair? Or is natural more attractive? what do you like better?
Most Helpful Girl
i think a lot of guys will say only go natural if you can pull it off or they don't mind natural looking makeup that looks like you have little to no makeup on (little do they know sometimes even though it looks that way its quite the opposite lol).
i used to wear no makeup ever but then I had like a makeup explosion and I'm very good at doing my makeup and my friends makeup. I love wearing it, its like art if you play around with colors the right way and practice. I usually wear no makeup during the day though. sometimes I decide to go to school glammed up but I usually dont. I like wearing it to go out and on the weekends in general lol
hair types vary on the guy as well. all guys have different opinions on things. I'm biracial black so I have kinky curly hair (think scary spice back in the day lol) and I wear it natural most of the time meaning not straightened. all the guy I have ever dated either loved my hair type in general or just thought it looked good on me and thought that I should wear it. I will say that there is a trend of men liking straight hair. I don't like straight hair too much on me on a daily basis but I switch it up every now and then. my last ex boyfriend went crazy whenever I straightened my hair (touching it and smelling it etc. ) but he liked it natural textured as well.
im bi and I'm attracted to all kinds of girls. my current girlfriend has naturally straight hair.
this is going to sound cliche but I really do think you should dress and style your hair and makeup for yourself not to impress guys. if you are your own person with your own style and have confidence in yourself the right guys will be attracted to you for your personal tastes and choices and not because you are trying to embody a look that you think men want to see.00|00|0

California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for entrusting me to assist you. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will do everything I can to answer your question. Employees in California can be paid a flat "daily rate," provided such rate when divided by the number of hours worked exceeds minimum wage ($8/hr).Although daily rate pay is permissible, such flat rates cannot take into account compensation for anything more than a standard 8 hour work day. Overtime must be paid for anything over 8 hours a day or 40 in a week (even if the employee agrees that the flat rate compensates for expected overtime) calculated on the basis of the employee's "hourly rate," which is determined by taking their weekly pay and dividing by 40.Labor Code 515 was actually amended in January of this year so as to expressly prohibit flat daily rate pay agreements that take into account overtime, even if the employee agrees to it, so it's interesting that you ask this question. You can find the State Legislature's bill amending the law here: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml;jsessionid=53cf63b3170e615a4e06d4289d98?bill_id=201120120AB2103Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the above and I will be more than happy to assist you further.If you do not require any further assistance, please be so kind as to provide a positive rating of my service so that I may receive credit for assisting you. Very best wishes and kindest regards.
Thank you for your answer to this question I just had the question come up again and want to clarify.
So if an employee agrees to work a 10 hour day at a flat rate, this flat rate really only includes the first 8 hours (with the remaining 2 having to be paid at an OT rate)?

Just finished a quirky book, Goodbye, Vitamin: A Novel by Rachel Khong. She's a new writer (newly published, I guess I should say) and this story is about Ruth, a 30+ something, trying to readjust to life without her fiance, who's dumped her. She goes back home to help with the care of her father, who has Alzheimer's. Written in a diary style, it jumps all over about her life, her mother, the funny, poignant things her father says on good days, and the nutty stuff he does on not-so-good days, her ex-, and her very quirky friends, too. Then a woman flits through who had had an affair with her father – you get to observe all the angst from the mom about that. Mostly it's about her father, as he's relatively "together" early in the book, but then he disintegrates. Reading that part isn't fun, although the author is able to lean some humor into it. I'm not sure I recommend the book exactly – I read it through – and felt sad. It doesn't tie up loose ends – if you want that kind of book – you may not want to read this one.
Also finished Julian Fellowes's Belgravia. You know Julian Fellowes, the producer and writer of Downton Abbey? He lends his mind to a story about a family or two from the similar time period as Downton, who live in London. There's some amount of intrigue, romance, observations from within the halls of wealthy Londoners and moderately well off tradesmen and their families. There's affairs, shady business dealings, an illegitimate child, the comings and goings of the "downstairs" staff too, etc. The characters were well done – I had no trouble keeping all of the people identified. The story is somewhat predictable, but it was interesting clear up to the end.
The Letter by Kathyrn Hughes. It's a very intricate tale. At first it's about Tina, a battered wife [at which point I paused and wondered if I wanted to read any further, but I'm glad I did]. She tries to get the courage to leave her husband. Then enters the letter she finds in a suit pocket in the thrift shop where she volunteers. It's old – sealed and stamped, but never mailed. Then you learn about Crissie, decades earlier, a young pregnant girl who is sent off to Ireland to a distant relative by her father, then to a rigid (meaning horrible) convent [the book takes place mostly in Manchester, England and in rural Ireland]. The letter is addressed to her. Jump forward decades and William, the adopted child Crissie gave up, tries to find his birth mother. William meets Tina in Ireland [a serendipitous moment] as she's trying to find the woman to whom the letter is addressed. This book is the #2 best seller on Amazon at the moment. It's a riveting tale and I really enjoyed it.
The Muralist: A Novel by Shapiro. It tells the story of a young woman, an artist, who was part of the U.S.'s WPA mural project from the 1930s-40s (she is fiction, the WPA is not). As with so many artists, even today, they live in abject poverty through much of their lives. This woman, though, had family in France, desperately trying to escape before Hitler's henchmen rousted them into concentration camps. The story, a bit of a mystery but not of the mystery-genre, is about Alizée Benoit, this young painter, who slightly captivates Eleanor Roosevelt's help. It also skips into current time when the painter's great-niece uncovers paintings she believes were painted by her aunt. The painter had disappeared into thin air in 1940, and her relative tries desperately to find out what happened to her. It's a really good story including such Abstract Expressionist painters as Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Lee Krasner well-woven into the narrative. It keeps you guessing right up to the end. A good read. The author also wrote The Art Forger: A Novel a few years ago.
Also recently read News of the World: A Novel by Paulette Jiles. One of my book-reading friends said this is one of the best books she's ever read in her life. That kind of praise required me to read it and I just LOVED it. It's about an old man (a widower), who was a former military captain, during the 1800s, who goes from town to town to read out loud the current news of the world (yes, there WAS such a free-lance job.) Newspapers didn't make it to small towns back then. By chance he's asked to take a 10-year old girl to East Texas to reunite with relatives. The child had been captured by an Indian tribe as a baby (her family was killed in the raid), raised by the Kiowa and as was often the case of such children, she wants nothing to do with leaving. So the "hero" in this story has his hands full. And yet, they learn to trust each other on the journey. Reaching the destination, there are lots of complications (of course!). This book is truly a wonderful read – I didn't want it to end. The author has a gift of description and the severe dangers and difficulties of an old (wild) west horse and wagon journey. The relationship is tender. Now I've got to investigate the author's other books, of which there are many. Just read this one first!
