Nursery schools and bars at 2 a.m. are the only places where it is completely normal if someone just spontaneously throws up on the floor...and just like a toddler, the bar patron wakes up the next day not remembering or caring how they behaved.Jim Gaffigan
I think it's handy for a dramatist of any sort, if I can call myself that, to make use of weddings and wakes, to make use of those moments and those rituals that cause us to pause and look back or look forward and understand that life has changed.Alice McDermott
The reason why Englishmen are the best husbands in the world is because they want to be faithful. A Frenchman or an Italian will wake up in the morning and wonder what girl he will meet. An Englishman wakes up and wonders what the cricket score is.Barbara Cartland
None of it gets to be 'old stuff', for it is Christ in print, the Living Word. We wouldn't think of rising in the morning without a facewash, but we often neglect that purgative cleansing of the Word of the Lord. It wakes us up to our responsibilityJim Elliot
The fisher droppeth his net in the stream, And a hundred streams are the same as one; And the maiden dreameth her love-lit dream; And what is it all, when all is done? The net of the fisher the burden breaks, And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.Alice Cary
Attempts to wake before our time are often punished, especially by those who love us most. Because they, bless them, are asleep. They think anyone who wakes up, or who, still asleep, realizes that what is taken to be real is a "dream' is going crazy.R. D. Laing
When one wakes up in the morning, one's whole life is neatly laid out, consistent with the past, to the degree that we even (apparently) remember the same language spoken the day before, suggesting previous experience had simply entered a dormant state.James R. Swartz
Temptation isn't a sin that you triumph over once, completely and then you're free. Temptation slips into bed with you each night and helps you say your prayers. It wakes you in the morning with a friendly cup of coffee, and knows exactly how you take it.Karen Marie Moning
Adventrue rewrites the routine of our lives and wakes us sharply from the comforts of the familiar. It allows us to see how vast the expanse of our experience. Our ability to grow is no longer linear but becomes unrestricted to any direction we wish to run.Josh Gates
The novel...creates a bemusing effect. The short story, on the other hand wakes the reader up. Not only that, it answers the primitive craving for art, the wit, paradox and beauty of shape, the longing to see a dramatic pattern and significance in our experience.V. S. Pritchett
There's nothing sweeter than a real friend: Not only is he prompt to lend" An angler delicate, he fishes The very deepest of your wishes, And spares your modesty the task His friendly aid to ask. A dream, a shadow, wakes his fear, When pointing at the object dear.Jean de La Fontaine
The ability to row in any conditions, raging crosswind, two-foot tall jet ski wakes, torrential downpour, is absolutely essential in order to be a champion sculler. It all comes under the heading of boatmanship. Some races are won on nothing more than superior boatmanship.Brad Alan Lewis
Whatever I've experienced in my life is a part of my story, and I'm proud of that. But it's someone who wakes up early, works all day, believes in charitable work, business-minded, diligent, accountable, problem-solving... I'm so much about school, consistency and tradition.Drew Barrymore
The study of dreams may be considered the most trustworthy method of investigating deep mental processes. Now dreams occurring in traumatic neuroses have the characteristic of repeatedly bringing the patient back into the situation of his accident, a situation from which he wakes up in another fright.Sigmund Freud

Date Written: November 15, 2002
This paper studies how the use of alternative valuation methodologies affects investment performance for a sample of 53 German venture capitalists. We measure investment performance by the amount of investments they need to write off and by the number of companies they take public. We find that a significant number of investment managers use discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques, but only a minority appears to use a discount rate related to the cost of capital. The majority applies DCF using subjective discount rates. We present evidence that the use of DCF is correlated with superior investment performance only if applied in conjunction with an objectifiable discount rate. Also, funds that invest with a longer horizon perform better. The use of multiples is not significantly correlated with investment performance. We conclude that a focus on fundamental values confers an advantage.

To learn any language effectively you really need to get out of the classroom and communicate with native speakers. The people who speak the language you are trying to learn are the greatest resource you have - use them! Language is about communication, to get better you need to communicate.

Why is it important to learn a new language?
It is not really important, but it'll help you understand other people from around the world. So if you ever go to another country like japan then it'd be good to learn there language so you know what to say and what to do while you are over in a new place. It will help you out.

Discussion in 'Advanced Mechanics Guides' started by Robzor, Jul 16, 2010.
OK, that makes sense.
You have AT:Siege as doing 150% damage to unarmored units. Currently the mechanics page has it correct, and you have it wrong.
Also, HeroExpRange is now 1200.0.
The link at bounce attack directs to DA.
Siege also has a 0.75 factor against heroes now instead of the previous 0.63, just in case you wanted to know.
It does no more.
Thanks for pointing these things out.
Yeah, I didn't even notice that it used to be 0.63.
I allways thought this is the rate at wich you gain visibility when moving through the fog (in this case, at each 0.4 seconds the fog clears a bit more). So this is not what it does? Since it is unkown.
From the observation that the fog updates at this ratio that would seem correct, however, due to the fact that alterations appeared to not affect the actual update ratio the actual use for the constant has been classified as unknown.
Is it possible that RazorCrime's explanation is how it is intended to work and it is simply broken? Or is changing it known to have some effects?
We believed that it was intended to work in that way, and it may be plausible that it was Blizzard's intent with the constant as well. No changes in the game has been observed through altering the constant, thus it is hard to say what it does.
By the way, you aren't the only one who forgot to edit when siege attacks were changed. Several of the armor- and damage-tips in DotA are wrong, including the ones for Siege and Unarmored. I don't know why IF doesn't just fix them like he did with DAMAGETIP_CHAOS.
I just finished reading this...
these things are definitely a type of information that is considered 'nice-to-know'
Good Job posting this here ^_^
As of 6.72, "Gameplay - Illusions Bestow Auras" is now True.
This information is courtesy of LordShinjo.
Thanks, updated.
In unit death stuff:
I may be quite a bit late here, but i fail to find any evidence of the ReactionDelay being applied. No matter how hard i try in my testmaps, units will always begin their attacks in time, despite being reissued a stop and attack order before every attack.
Does anybody have evidence of the ReactionDelay applying? Maybe blizzard stealth-changed something?
basically auto-attack delay
Hm, still testing...
If i set it to 10.0 then i can see the delay, if i set it to 1.0 i see absolutely no implications, on 2.0 it does have an effect.
What the fuck?
Basically i'm trying to confirm/deny how the reaction delay is applied... If at least the timers in wc3 had better resolution than 1/16 seconds... I'm currently working with a 0.1 second timing based on units attacking each other...
I have came here to ask something like "is there anything like acquisation delay", and I think this thread is here can answer that question.
I almost never check the "Last Post" row, but for some reason, this time I did, and... Well, wanted to share
So, there really is like a delay between getting in range and getting attacked, for example, by a tower, right?
Else, I have a question.
It should depend on the acquisition range and how quickly you approach the tower (and luck).
After dealing with this constant for like two days, if I am not mistaken, this constant does not have an effect on the tower attacks. At least not for the attacks done by an Ancient Protector and a Spirit Tower, I am certain on those two. Not even when you make them target manually, or issue stop commands.
Might aswell be more general and apply for every anchored or ensnared or Movement - Type: None unit... [needs confirmation]
Yeah, like that. Thanks to MauranKilom, I am using his test map repeatedly for making these tests...
Not the Movement - Type: None
but the Movement - Speed Base: 0 (zero)
makes the units somehow become unaffected by the Gameplay Constant: Reaction Delay. There might be a built in hardcoded delay for them, but I cannot know that, and also, it doesn't look like there is.

Today is Day 5 of my Indirect Light Touch eating experiment. Feeling good and it's been surprisingly easy to just drink liquids and munch on a few carrots during the day. (on a side note I am using Thrive with the DFT Duo patch which helps cut cravings tremendously, a huge reason it's been much easier this time around.) Night time comes and there's this energy, mostly mental, I've never experienced before. This PLR DRR Manifestor passive body is truly meant to just chill most of the time. I now accept even at my peak energy levels and health, I will never be a generator doing things and going places on a consistent basis. It's really this mind that the nutrition is meant for. And even that needs long periods of rest and meditation. The past few years I've become a pretty healthy eater out of necessity to try and heal a chronic fatigue situation. So slowly I've gotten rid of food addictions (popcorn and coffee were the last ones to go) and now eat very little sugar, no gluten, mostly veggies and organic meats, and some healthy clean carbs.. and all in a search to find out what was making my energy crash and honestly it has been impossible to find a pattern with relation to food and the body's energy.Ironically, Ra has said that it doesn't matter what is eaten was long as it is dark out, the body will take in the nutrition. So there is curiosity to test this theory but not want to go overboard with eating "toxic cardboard" food. But last night I tested it, I made a 4 hour drive in the evening to avoid the heat, I was excited for the sun to set so I could eat yet not sure what I wanted to eat. I ended up stopping at Panda Express of all places, fast food I haven't eaten in years. It was intense in flavor and kind of satisfying. Then I was still hungry about an hour later and stopped and ate Taco Bell, then around midnight I had a piece of sourdough toast - not gluten free! - with butter and jam just to make sure I went to be on a full stomach. Today I'm feeling really stable energy despite all the junk I ate last night. Feeling Surprised and Curious that this is happening and encouraged to keep going. Anyone else experiment with this "you can eat anything as long as it's at night" theory? How's your PHS experiment going? The PHS Determination in Human Design is about how we take in nutrition from our food and people in the most optimal way. My Color is 6 and I am Right Fixed which means my design absorbs the most nutrition after the sun goes down or in Indirect Light. If I do eat during the day I can pull the curtains closed and eat by a lamp. But I'm going extreme this time and only eating when it's dark out, which right now is 8:30pm so it's a long day. My Tone is 6 which indicates a need to touch my food when preparing and/or eating it because my fingers are literally taking in the nutrition information from the food more so than my mouth.
An occasional outburst from my awakening experiment. With some human design and astrology sprinkled in.

Your Pain is your Gateway to Passion
The ability to feel the incredible beauty and passion of life is directly related to your willingness to feel the pain of your character's particular piece of human suffering. Our soul's have each chosen a burden which can seem insurmountable to overcome. Drug and alcohol addictions, a physical illness, depression, physical abuse in childhood, betrayal, mistrust in life and other people, feeling stuck, chronic poverty, abandonment by God, fear of dying, etc. It's all a gift from our Soul to lead us deeper into our hearts. The Beloved will do what it takes to bring you Home even if it means bringing you to unimaginable pain and suffering, even to the edge of death. It takes a simple heart felt intention to be free from whatever it is, the openness to be willing to change, and the courage to do the work. The more you sit with yourself and meet this aspect the more it will rise to the surface to be met. On it's way out it can feel so intense, like it will destroy you. Stay with it. Hold it as you would a small child. Because what is discovered overtime in this process is that underneath this fear and pain is the exquisitely sweet and passionate longing of the heart to return to itself. This feeling is what we're looking for. It is Passion. So let your Pain be your gateway to your Passion. Because you can't have one without the other. We all have the Passion of the Christ inside of us to return home and remember that we are the LOVE that we are searching for.

The Revolution Begins with YOU!
Your beautiful and brilliant SOUL is calling you home. Will you answer the call?
To my friends who are feeling heavy emotions and calling out for something more in their life, I am feeling your tender heart, because I AM YOU. Listen to that voice inside you telling you something is missing, because if you have not yet discovered your own beauty within, there IS something missing. There IS another reality waiting for you, one of joy, passion, freedom, love, beauty and abundance. I'm here to tell you this reality is your birthright and it is POSSIBLE.
In this time of the Kali Yuga, the darkest time in the turning of the ages, before the light returns and humanity ascends to the Golden Age once again, we must fight for our birthright with everything we have! You fighting for your TRUE happiness does matter!
This "something more" doesn't have anything to do with tangible objects, you can't buy it in a store, or wear it on your body, or get it from a partner. You can't go back to school for it, or take a vacation to find it, or work harder at your job to get it. You can't drink it, smoke it, snort it or take it on your tongue. You can't take Thrive for it (although the right nutrition will help when times get rough ;)
It's much more subtle than that, it requires stopping to listen, because at first it's merely a whisper. A whisper that something isn't quite right, that what you've been taught that life is about is all wrong. Because it is! You've been given mental programs to keep you small and keep you in fear. They simply aren't true, they aren't who you are, and the pathway HOME is to discover and free yourself from these oppressive programs in your mind.
Your beautiful and brilliant soul is calling you home. Will you answer the call?
Are you willing to listen to that voice that says I'm hurting, I'm sad, I'm lonely, I'm depressed, I want out? and are you willing to feel it and hold that wounded part of yourself like an infant with the love and tenderness of a new mother? Because although those feelings are NOT who you are, they are your friends, they are the doorway back to your original SELF, back to your heart, to the beautiful bright being you were born to be. Be Grateful they have come to rescue you.
Welcome these visitors of shame, pain, sorrow, guilt, anger and fear and give them their stage, be with them and allow them to move through you with puddles of tears and flames of rage! Give them your AWARENESS, that's all you need to do. They will bring you to your knees. They will make you humble and patient, cracking your heart wide open so you may learn to truly LOVE yourself and others and learn to TRUST in Life to provide for you. They are there to reconnect you to that which created you and that which you long to return to.
I'm not going to sugar coat it, there is an enormous current (the collective mind) that wants to keep you stuck in the mediocrity of life, in the fear of the future, in the busyness of buying things and going places. Your family, friends, and peers, probably won't understand you when you say to them, Isn't there something more? I'm depressed. I want to live again!! And they may tell you it's not possible. Just go back to what everyone else is doing. They may tell you to stay with the job you hate for financial security and to try anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds so you can return to "life as usual". But do not listen.
Seek a higher wisdom, pray for guidance, get on your friggin knees and call out to a higher power that you don't yet believe in, shout out to the HEAVENS that you ARE WILLING TO CHANGE! And then wait and Trust that you will be lead to the right person at the right time. Start focusing on YOU and YOU will be taken care of. This is your path, unique to you, and it will begin to get more and more clear as you walk it and begin to TRUST spirit to guide you.
This is your time! These icky feelings are your soul's whisper that are calling you back to your heart. Do not ignore them. Spend time alone, feel what's coming through, don't put on a happy face and pretend you're not broken hearted and wounded from lifetimes of disappointments from yourself and others. You must take the space to STOP and face this seeming darkness, because these feelings are part of the universal human story and we must feel them if we wish to be liberated from them. We have all been betrayed, lied to, abused, taken advantage of and abandoned. It is OUR Collective STORY, you are not UNIQUE in your story, however alone you may feel in it.
WAKING UP means we must be willing to experience all of it, even the darkness, especially the darkness. Because when we spend time with it we see it is our ally. Yes, the stakes seem to be high, you may not survive, you may be rejected, you may feel like giving up, you may be confused and alone with your own insane mind and heavy emotions. Pray, meditate, walk in nature, listen to those you who resonate with, and learn to be Still. The rewards of your own freedom, of true clear authority and autonomy are worth it!
So if there is stirring within, and you are ready and willing to change, then you can return to a life of magic and mystery without fear of the future, without apologies for who you are, without anxiety, without that annoying taskmaster that says you must work hard to survive and that life is a STRUGGLE.
There IS something more waiting for you. And it is your own precious SELF. And even though there will be resistance from outside forces, going through the darkness of your repressed emotions and fears will be the best gift you can give to you, your family and humanity. For then you can truly shine your light unto the world and BE the change you wish to see in the world. The Revolución starts within.
I love you my fellow WARRIORS of Light. AHO!
I want to share a playlist that has helped move emotions through me for many years. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSgtRxweQlwBTy7LAazYdnnotGNFiOBEE

Boutique hotel with rough edgesPosted Jan 5, 2017
Pros: Location, décor, and staff
Cons: General maintenance, breakfast, and access for people with disabilities
Location: Lots of independent stores and restaurants nearby
We decided to stay at the Georges Hotel Gala because of its location and stylish atmosphere. It's in a trendy neighbourhood and the public spaces have a lot of character. The rooms are quiet and well appointed. The view from the restaurant is fantastic. Bonus: the large balconies are a terrific feature for those who like to sit outside. On the downside, the room was big but a bit run down, with peeling paint on the balcony ceiling and holes in the chair. The breakfast could be improved with fresh OJ and better preserves. There are also steps to the elevator and restaurant that would be challenging for people in wheelchairs. It should be noted that the staff made us feel special (thank you!) and we enjoyed our stay.

Upscale vibePosted Mar 26, 2016 on Orbitz
Pros: Overall ambiance and upscale feel.
Location: Galata tower, Istiqlal Street. Access to tram to Kabatas ferry stop or across bridge to spice bazaar and other areas.
We enjoyed our stay at this stylish hotel. The reception area has a nice exposed brick wall and leather furnishings, as a nice ginger blossom scent that creates a hip ambiance. They gave us a lower floor room that was like a little apartment - a lot of space to spread out. The room was comfortable, with complimentary water bottles, robes, etc. Bathroom was nice with a rain shower and open stall plan. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was pleasant with a great view of the Bosporus harbor, and good meal options. The location is great, near Galata tower and one end of Istiqlal street. If you want to take a break from Turkish food, there is a Shake Shack on Istiqlal. You can walk down hill to the tram stop or up a ways to the Tunel station. There are good restaurants and cafes on the small streets around the hotel.

Next to Galata TowerPosted Mar 25, 2016
Boutique hotel on cobblestone road. Walk to Istiklal Street for shopping. Gorgeous, large rooms, spa like bathrooms, however the restaurant doubles as the lobby. Good restaurants nearby. Free breakfast until 3 pm!

Istanbul at your feet, a delightful retreatPosted Feb 11, 2016
Pros: At the centre of the city's trendy Beyoglu district, easy to walk around Pera and across to the Old City but a calm, quiet, classy retreat.
Cons: The shower in Room 2 needs attention to stop it shooting water everywhere and the room lighting could have been just a little brighter.
Location: After a busy day sightseeing join the crowd in the bars, cafes and restaurants around the Galata Tower. You're not far from foodie heaven Antiochia.
Booked with flight on Expedia. Very good value rate (February 2016). Hotel sent useful welcome email one week before arrival. Very pleasant welcome, very comfortable, spacious and warm (Garden) room, huge, exceptionally comfortable double bed, nice L'Occitane toiletries, white towel bathrobes and slippers, Nespresso machine, first class French teas, lots of hot water all the time, great breakfast (from 7 till 3), picture-perfect view over Old City and Asian side of the Bosphorus from the breakfast room/restaurant/bar, solicitous and professional service. The restaurant wasn't open early Feb 2016 but the bar is well-stocked, well-run and has a small list of some exceptional Turkish wines chosen by the bar manager who visits the vineyards himself. If you're arriving by cab from either airport make sure the driver calls the hotel for directions. There's no sign outside. The staff's English is very fluent.

Excellent staff, very kind and helpful. Nice location, close to metro, tramway, istiklal and plenty of nice restaurants. Taking into consideration that hotel is located on a stiff hill, that envolves a lot of stairs climbing.

Nice hotel, attentive staff in a fun neighborhoodPosted Nov 9, 2015 on Hotels
I greatly enjoyed my time at Georges Galata. The staff were very helpful in making my stay fantastic, helping with dinner recommendations and transportation in advance of my trip and making reservations for me once I arrived. The hotel is in a fun neighborhood, which seems to be growing, with new cafes and interesting shops. It's a short walk (15-20 minutes) to the old city, where most of the sightseeing is, but I enjoyed spending my evenings in the neighborhoods by the hotel. The hotel is styled nicely and comfortably, and the rooftop restaurant was a great place to see the morning sunrise over beautiful Istanbul.

Georges Hotel is the place to bePosted Oct 9, 2015
We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We have stayed in many hotels so I believe we have a good knowledge of what to expect and the Goerges raised the bar. Great location in Galata. Excellent staff. The hotel roof top bar/restaurant is a must see anytime of the day or night. We will definitely stay there again.

Amazing ExperiencePosted Sep 19, 2015 on Hotels
This hotel experience was one of the best we had on our travels throughout Europe. We arrived late at night and the staff receiving us was friendly and helpful in getting us situated (brought our luggage to our room, assisted us with finding food, offered suggestions for tourist options for the following day, etc.). The room was a great size, the bathroom was fairly large (although it was entirely glass with blinds and the door does not seal closed), the balcony had a table and chairs and the view was amazing. You can hear the prayer calls echoing here and it sounds beautiful! The hotel is in a difficult place to get to if you are travelling in a larger vehicle, but it is possible and definitely worth it. There are lots of shops (food, goods, souvenirs, etc.) in the area.

Jun 15, 2009
bookshelves: vampires, list-twilight-read-alike, romance
Pros: Quite a few differences from the typical normal-girl-supernatural-guy romance: humorous parts are very humorous, heroine is relatively strong, intense physical or emotional scenes are very intense, book is fast-paced and articulate. Cons: Plot contrivances are fairly contrived (example: there are 5 million vampires in the world with ultimate wealth and power and they're on the verge of a war, but they're also afraid of being destroyed by Romanian villagers, *but* no one outside of the Romanian villages knows about this, *but* some kids find out about the vampire hero's family on a Web site). However, I could have set all these concerns aside and just enjoyed the juicy romance and life-changing decisions and thoroughly fun scenes of a vampire "prince" used to having servants and wearing velvet capes adapt to normal teenage life and actually start to enjoy things like playing basketball if it weren't for what to me was a fairly big con: In the end, the message is that people who have been abused end up abusing others, but if you know they really truly love you (which you somehow just know), then you should continue to pursue them and even risk your life for them. Hmm. I was reading eagerly to get to the resolution, but then was disappointed when I got there.

Would you lower yourself into a drain of human sludge and faecal matter for the slim chance of finding specks of gold?
If you were living with 15 other people in a squalid room the size of an average Australian bathroom, had no education, no job prospects and dependents to support, I guess you would.
In Kolkata India, where thousands of goldsmiths work in the city's lucrative jewellery making districts, swarms of young boys and men make their living scanning, scraping and dusting the filthy streets seeking miniscule, elusive flecks of gold dust to sell back to the goldsmiths. They are known as the 'Newaras' and take home around 2 000 rupees a month (about $1.50AUD a day) in what is, for some, the best menial labour on offer.
It is dirty business, literally. The Newaras stick their hands into the foul drain sludge, scoop this into metal pans and proceed to sift it with nitric acid, until the gold dust separates. They handle and burn off the acid directly without any protective clothing or face coverings. This is India and notions like 'workplace health and safety' are as far away from the everyday psyche as government officials are from bribe-free dealings.
In India, gold is particularly prized as a store of wealth and a status symbol with most families spending their life savings on gold jewellery. The country is estimated to have 20 000 metric tons of private gold stores, more than the public reserves of the US, International Monetary Fund and Duetsche Bank combined.
While the desperation of India's poorest may make gold dust scavenging an obvious vocational choice, recent US findings indicate that such activities could well be taken up in other parts of the world.
Findings presented in March 2015 at the 249th National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society, showed that levels of precious metals in US sewage sludge were comparable with minimal mineral deposits in some commercial mines. The eight-year study, revealed 1kg of treated sewage sludge contained about 0.4mg of gold and 28mg of silver, amongst other things.
An Arizona State University study released in January 2015 found that a city of 1 million inhabitants flushed about $13 million of precious metals down toilets and sewer drains each year including $2.6 million in gold in silver as reported.
That's expensive shit.
Could gold from sewage waste be the next mining boom?
While it sounds like a rather grim new path, in light of the reality of traditional gold mining waste mining has a couple of clear environmental wins.
Firstly, gold mining requires the use of powerful chemicals and acids (known as leachates) to pull metals out of the rock. These can have a devastating effect on ecosystems as they leak in the environment. However the use of leachates in the controlled setting of sewage reduces this risk.
Further, extraction of heavy metals from waste before it is ultimately burnt, buried or turned into fertiliser prevents the harmful effects of heavy metals being released back into the environment.
One Japanese city has already set about extracting gold from its sludge. Suwa in Nagano Prefecture has reportedly collected nearly 2 kilograms of gold in every metric ton of ash from burnt sludge, due to its proximity to precision equipment manufacturers.
While some minor matters like the economic and technical viability of sludge mining still need to be squared up, the main push seems to be a re-assessment of how we think about and value waste sludge.
Shit may still stink but it could at least be worth its weight in gold.
