Sad times
Are you Mod yet?
Receive a ban*****
Lol but also, it is not fair when you stay on someone side just because he is news force or some shit.
Others, when caught lying, which in this case was the same, got temp market banned. However, in this case, nowhere did any staff mention, which is a bit unfair. Put yourself into other shoes. Some, get market banned, in this case, Marcus was caught lying due to evidence provided ( he said he did, even tho video clearly says apple confirming nobody did the call), and he just got away with it.That can be counted as a scam, and also breaking another rule of lying to staff in a scam report. I am more than confident to say that if this was somebody else, they would receive a bank, or something, and not just close the dispute. Why is this so biased towards Marcus despite being proven wrong?
approve thread pls
What was the exact reason for sending multiple infractions on same issue, even though previous staff already gave a warning lmfao? Abusing powers nice mate, keep it up! Then gives 3 day ban, after like 4 infractions, and warning from someone else before him.

Pleasure - Soul, Funk & Jazz
Pleasure was a band from Portland, Oregon that blended soul, funk and jazz with a street edge that became a cult group on the underground black music scene of the late 70's. They are perhaps best known for their 1979 hit, "Glide". Pleasure was formed in Portland, Oregon, in 1972 as a merger of two Portland outfits: Franchise and The Soul Masters which included guitarist Marlon "The Magician" McClain, bassist Nathaniel Phillips, and drummer Bruce Carter, keyboardist Donald Hepburn, saxophonist Dennis Springer, trombonist Dan Brewster and lead singer Sherman Davis. In 1974 The Crusaders's Wayne Henderson saw them performing in a Portland club. Impressed with what he heard, his enthusiasm led them to a deal with Fantasy Records. This was the beginning of a six-year relationship with the label and a four-year relationship with Wayne Henderson who through his own production company "At Home Productions", was the band's producer and mentor. Along the way, members of the band did session work with artists like Side Effect, Gabor Szabo, Ronnie Laws and Willie Bobo to name a few. In 1979, Pleasure would have their best success with the Top Ten R&B hit "Glide". By 1982 after a one-off album for RCA the band called it quits. Drummer Bruce Carter (December 28, 1956) died on August 12, 2006.

UNESCO's Doha office has called for urgent action towards the development of an 'oil spill combat plan' for the Gulf, reported the Qatari Gulf Times on Friday.
The paper said that the call comes in the wake of a report by the Arabic daily, Arrayah, about an oil spill in the area around Abu Zaluf, in the northern corner of Qatar.
Abdullah Bubtana, director of UNESCO Doha office, was quoted as saying Thursday that the source of the spill was from somewhere outside Qatari waters. "Its first victims have been seabirds, turtles, and a specimen of the endangered seacow, locally known as dugong," he pointed out.
According to Dr Bubtana, oil spills happen frequently in the Gulf, one of the world's most active places for production and transportation of crude oil.
The director stressed the need for a regional, 'early warning system', to detect marine pollution, based on oil spill sensitivity maps, satellite observation, as well as daily aerial surveys of the entire region.
"The system needs to be complemented by a regional 'oil spill rapid action task force' which will try to contain the leakage of oil as much as possible," he said.
The Arabian Gulf marine environment was subject to massive degradation during the 1990-1991 Gulf war – Albawaba.com

Chrome has introduced a setting to speed up browsing and reduce power consumption on pages containing plug-in content, which includes Flash-based banner ads. As early as September, the setting will be enabled by default. For advertisers, this means that most Flash ads on Chrome will be paused unless the user initiates a click, regardless of which ad server you use.
Why Should You Care?
The majority of animating ads running through DSPs are still built in Flash and not HTML5. If Flash creative continues to be trafficked after this change, a drop in overall click performance should be expected as consumers will see a greyed out ad with the play button that needs to be clicked in order to start the animation/content (see visual below for your reference).
Other browsers have also added non-friendly rules for Flash whereas Apple's Safari web browser forces users to download the Flash plugin and Mozilla Firefox's default settings require users to opt in to see animations built in Flash every time they encounter them. Therefore, if all major browsers were to disable Flash immediately, roughly 84% of banners across the internet would not be viewable on desktop browsers. Chrome browsers represent 44.5% market share.
What Should You Do?
New display creative should be developed in HTML5 to run seamlessly across browsers and devices. Current campaign creative should be updated to HTML5 prior to September 1st.
Be aware that HTML5 file sizes tend to be heavier than Flash which does have implications on ad serving cost.

Very clean and Quite awesome breakfast and the staff was very friendly
The hotel was clean & attractive inside & out......staff was very friendly & helpful.....breakfast was good but, could have been a little more varied.....room was clean & comfortable !
I would stay here again and recommend it to others !!
NIce Koi pond in courtyard. Room was a little small, but had all the necessary amenities: hair dryer, microwave, refrigerator, heating & air conditioning, comfortable bed
Always a great experience, as a matter of fact, i am going again today!!
The hotel is a little easy to miss the entrance due to the hotel sign because of the trees is not too visible.
The Hotel Desk Attendant a very nice person and cordial but shabbily dressed and looked bored or tired, but performed his job well. this worried me that hotel quality would not be up to its value. But the room and the bed was nice and comfortable. The breakfast was great, but some of the messy and inconsiderate guests would not allow the food area look clean and presentable. Overall I was happy with my stay and go back. Thanks.
Great experience Would stay again of I am in the area of Modesto California
Excellent Service. Great value. Clean and comfortable beds and rooms. Great hot breakfast included.
Susie (Susan) at the front desk made our stay wonderful. I am in customer service and she is one of the best. She goes over and above for her customers. Nice Koi pond and pool area. I would stay there again.
I chose this Comfort Inn based on Trip Advisor reviews. The hot breakfast was the clincher. The breakfast included scrambled eggs, sausage waffles and the assorted pastries, breads and refreshment. The room was clean but showed some wear and could use some updating. However my complaint comes with the $20.00 they charge as a deposit for paying cash. I reserved the room using using a credit card. All my ID was in order and they already had my credit card information. But since I was paying with cash they held an extra 20. When I went to check out in the morning, they had to go to the room and check it out before I got the 20. This is the first time I have ever had this happen when paying cash (and yes I pay cash alot). Also while there, I learned that pets are allowed but they charge an extra ($50 non refundable) deposit
On our way north, we started to look for a place for the night. Comfort Inn was on our radar. We found that the staff were very friendly and professional. The room and bed was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Best of all was the Koi pond right outside our room. Loved it!

These English surnames were all derived from the Old English word "snaw", but interestingly has nothing to do with "snow" as in the frozen stuff that has fallen in massive quantities this winter along the East Coast.
Snow was an English nickname which referred to someone with very white hair or a pale complexion. It is also possible the name was given to someone who was born during the wintertime. It wasn't uncommon for names to be associated with some event either, for example: Noel, Pentecost, Midwinter, Winter and Frost.
Charles Bardsley, author of A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames, mentioned an anecdotal story he was introduced to while writing his book (1872-1896): "A clergyman wrote to me some time ago to say he had just baptized a child by the name of 'Sou'-wester'. This turned out to the father's Christian name, who was born on board ship in a sou'-westerly gale."
Some believe its origins may trace back to pre-historical times with a King of Denmark named "Snoo", which meant a cunning, crafty or sly person. In Germany the name may have been a Jewish surname like "Schnee", "Schnei" or "Schneu", according to Ancestry.com, and later Americanized. Spelling variations included Snow, Snowe, Snaw, Snawe, Snowling and others.
Some of the earliest instances of the name which appeared in records were Henry Snou (1273, County Buckinghamshire) on the Hundred Rolls and Willelmus Snawe of Yorkshire who was listed on the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379.
The earliest American immigrants bearing this surname were Nicholas Snow (Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1620); Henry Snow (Virginia, 1636); Elfred Snow (Virginia, 1702); and Josiah Snow (Virginia, 1724). Nicholas Snow is considered to be the immigrant ancestor of many who bear the surname Snow today.
This surname derives from the same Old English origins as the Snow surname. An instance of the name was recorded at St. Andrew's Holborn in London in July of 1597 as John Snowesman, and according to the Internet Surname Database, possibly meant the friend or foreman of John Snow. Spelling variations include Snowman, Snoweman and Snowesman.
The New Dictionary of American Family Names notes that this surname may also have German origins, an Americanized form of "Schneemann".
This is also derived from the Old English word "snaw" combined with "bald" (as in bare). P.H. Reaney noted in his book, A Dictionary of English Surnames, that the name probably originated as a nickname for someone with jet-black hair with a glaring bald spot, perhaps a monk.
In 1327 the name Roger Snowbald appeared on the Subsidy Rolls of Staffordshire; in 1332 Robert Snaubal was listed on the Pipe Rolls of Lancashire. Even earlier, the name Robert Snawbal was recorded on the Subsidy Rolls of Yorkshire in 1301. Spelling variations include Snowball, Snowbal, Snowbawl, Snaubal, Snowbald and others.
It never ceases to amaze me the names I run across, both the highly unusual ones or those which are also commonly used words like Pray, Bible, Butter, Thing, Purchase, Kitten and Tinker. Discovering the origins is just plain fascinating to me, and hopefully to you the reader as well. Check the archives for a full list of Surname Saturday articles.
Everyone have a great day — someday it will be history!

Summary: In this simple guide, the easy way will be introduced to import/edit Panasonic AG-HPX370 P2 MXF files into Avid Media Composer flawlessly by transcoding Panasonic P2 MXF to DNxHD
.mov, Avid MC natively supported format.
Panasonic AG-HPX370 is a great mix of a professional camera in the smaller and lighter size. An AVC-Intra codec board is included as standard equipment. It allows recording in either of two modes: AVC-Intra 100 for full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720) images, or AVC-Intra 50 for low-bit-rate, low-cost operation. It also supports the conventional DVCPRO HD codec. But new users may face some frustrating result when importing footage from Panasonic AG-HPX370 to Avid Media Composer, because the P2 .mxf file format is not supported by Avid MC well, even the latest Avid Media Composer 7.
Since MXF videos can not be directly imported to iMovie, to import and edit Panasonic AG-HPX370 P2 MXF files in Avid MC with ease, you need transcode MXF to Avid Media Composer supported video format. And we learn that DNxHD codec MOV format is the Avid perfectly supported format.
For converting MXF video into Avid editing friendly format, the best recommendation is Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac, which lets you convert MXF to AIC, encode MXF to Apple ProRes, transcode MXF to MPEG-2, render MXF to DNxHD, and more. This is a smart tool specially designed for MXF users to preview and convert MXF recordings to your wanted video and audio formats, so as to smoothly add them into Avid Media Composer, iMovie, FCE, FCP, Adobe Premiere Pro and more other video editing software to do further editing. It naturally support converting MXF recordings shot by a Panasonic P2 camcorders and Canon XF camcorders on Mac OS X. If you have MXF editing issues on Windows PC, get the MXF Converter to solve the problem.
How to Import/Link P2 MXF from Panasonic HPX370 to Avid Media Composer
Step 1: Install the P2 MXF to Avid Converter for Mac, load your P2 MXF files into the program. It supports batch conversion.
Step 2: Click on the "Format" bar and choose Avid Media Composer->Avid DNxHD(*.mov) as the target format.
Tip: You can click "settings" button to adjust the output video's parameters, such as resolution, bitrate, frame rate, sample rate, audio channel, etc.
Step 3: Click the "Convert" button and the MXF to DNxHD converter would start transcoding Panasonic AVC-Intra P2 MXF videos to DnxHD for Avid on Mac OS X immediately.
After conversion, tap "Open" icon in the main interface to locate result video. Launch your Avid program to import converted Panasonic HPX370 P2 footage to Avid Media Composer project with easy editing.

Due to circumstances I don't want to go into, my narrating is on an indefinite hold. While that certainly is sad, I have still been able to scratch my storytelling itch.
I've said before that I don't have much of an imagination. That is true. And frustrating. Because I want to tell stories, I just can't think of any.
Enter Storium. In their own words, "Storium is the online game that lets you and your friends tell stories together and play in imaginary worlds of your own creation."

Bipolar Depression: Anhedonia, Lack of Pleasure and Motivation
I suffer from anhedonia in bipolar depression and this leads to a lack of motivation. And when I say "suffer" I mean freaking suffer. I mean it's horrible. I mean it's probably the worst part about my bipolar depressions. Anhedonia is the inability to experience pleasure. Most people cannot conceptualize of this, but believe me, anhedonia in depression is a real thing and a real problem.
I Know I'm Hypomanic, Depressed or Mixed but I Can't Help It
Many of us have the insight to know when we are manic, hypomanic or depressed or in another bipolar mood state but, unfortunately, even though I might know I'm hypomanic, depressed or mixed, I can't necessarily help it. I wish I could. I wish that knowing what my bipolar disorder was doing would somehow alter it, but it typically doesn't. I just can't help it when I'm hypomanic, depressed or in a mixed mood – even when it's clear to me.
Win a Paperback Copy of "Lost Marbles" — GoodReads Giveaway
If you're on my mailing list you head last week that a GoodReads giveaway was started. Right now I'm giving away three paperback copies of Lost Marbles: Insights into My Life with Depression & Bipolar.
Mental Health Book 'Lost Marbles' Available Next Week in Paperback
I'm extremely pleased and excited to announce that Lost Marbles: Insights into My Life with Depression & Bipolar will be available in paperback via Amazon starting next week. The print layout work is almost done and I can't wait to see it, physically, in my (and your) hands.
There are a few things you should know about the release:
What Does Having a 'Down Day' in Bipolar Really Mean?
I hear people say they have "down days" in bipolar disorder. These people are, typically, those who are doing well but still have these things called "down days." But what is a "down day?" What are these people talking about? I do not identify with this concept at all. My bipolar disorder don't contain "down days" it contains days, weeks and months that try to kill me.
Depression – Don't Waste Your Pain
Depression is painful but can you turn that pain into something good? I recently heard of a couple that went through extreme suffering because of losing a child and one of the pieces of advice they received was, "don't waste your pain." These people turned their pain into a full-fledged and extremely successful business that gives back to children's charities. I've decided that was an extremely valuable piece of advice with depression – don't waste your pain.
Time It Takes to Recover from Depression after Hypomania
As I wrote about on HealthyPlace this week, right now, I'm recovering from a depression after a hypomania. It's been 11 days and I haven't returned to my (admittedly, rather sucky) baseline. My point in that piece was that the depression after a hypomania is so much worse than an average depression. My point here, though, is that the time it takes to recover from a depression after a hypomania never passes quickly enough and I tend to beat myself up about it.
When to Give In and Let Someone Commit Suicide?
Is there really a question as to when to give in and let someone commit suicide? According to some commenters and a recent email I received, there sure is.
This morning, I received an email saying that I was "promoting torture" by telling people not to commit suicide. According to the emailer:
I'm not clear on why this blog makes people feel that ending one's suffering is not an option…and in fact is a wrong thing to do….?
Don't we all have choices? If we've done all we can and life is absolute hell, then why convince people to continue to live such lives?!
So the question is, is there really a time when you should give in and just let someone commit suicide?
Depression – Can You Choose to Be Happy?
Have you heard? You can choose to be happy. That's right. If you're sitting around right now all depressed and unhappy it's just because you're not choosing the right path. You're not choosing to be happy.
I find this concept to be absolute hokum and incredibly insulting to anyone with depression – an actual brain disorder.
Exaggerated Physical Pain Because of Bipolar Depression
I have mentioned several times that bipolar depression isn't just mental, depression involves physical pain too. And when I talk about the physical pain of depression, I mean idiopathic pain (pain that appears "without reason" (with the reason, of course, being bipolar depression)). But there's another part of pain that is a part of depression and that's real, physical pain that has been exaggerated by the depression.
Calming the Cycle of Anxiety and Bipolar Depression
The Bipolar Burble is extremely honoured to introduce today's guest author: Ross Szabo. Ross and I met when he introduced me when I won the Erasing the Stigma Leadership award earlier this year. Ross is a past recipient and an inspiring mental health speaker and, well, human being. Read below how he has learned to calm his bipolar depression by recognizing anxiety.
I was an anxious person before my diagnosis of bipolar disorder with anger control problems and psychotic features. Needless to say after my diagnosis, my anxiety did not improve. It took a lot of years of extreme alcohol abuse, broken knuckles, sleeplessness, hallucination-filled nights and dangerous behaviors until I was able to find ways to balance my disorder.
Anxiety seems to be at the root, or heavily tied to, every mood I have with bipolar disorder. One of the most dangerous cycles I have gone through is when anxiety swings in to contribute to constant thoughts of death and suicide. Overwhelming anxiety or crippling depression are hard enough to face separately. When they combine the results can be tragic. Working with a professional to locate your anxiety/depression cycle is a great way to enhance your treatment.
Parties and the Cost of Bipolar Depression
Today is the day I did not go to my friend's bachelorette party. Today is the day I cried uncontrollably about not going to my friend's bachelorette party.
Do you know what hell is to me? One version of hell is being at a party with a bunch of beautiful people that I don't know having to make inane conversation and pretend to be thrilled to be there. Anhedonia isn't thrilled to be anywhere.

PALGN has posted an Q&A interview for Ridge Racer.
Q: "What new elements have you introduced to the game?"
A: "The main single addition is the Nitrous system: Nitrous is stored up when the player drifts around corners and can be triggered at the correct time. WiFi play between players is the next important feature brand-new to the series. This means the drift, previously a great feature, now takes on a whole new relevance, and becomes an integral part of your racing strategy."

I was told this was the way to unroot, or the easiest way to do so. I am on a Mac and instructions on how to root were hard enough to find. I can't find any for unrooting. So I'm guessing a stock ROM is the fix? Can I have a link please?

Minster FM News
York MP Asks Cabinet Minister to Back Infrastructure Funding for City
5:43pm 8th February 2013
A childhood spent trainspotting in York has persuaded a Cabinet Member to get behind City of York Council's bid for Critical Infrastructure Investment funding. Yesterday in the House of Commons, Hugh Bayley, MP for York Central, asked Dr Vince Cable, the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills if he would be willing to meet him and representatives from the Council to discuss the bid.
Mr Bayley's exchange with the Minister is shown below:
Hugh Bayley (York Central) (Lab): The Secretary of State was briefed about the York central site next to York railway station when he was in my constituency last year, so he knows well its potential to generate growth and jobs, a potential improved by the Government's welcome decision to join High Speed 2 with the east coast main line at York. Will he meet me and representatives of York city council to discuss what the Government can do to help the council bring the site into use?
Vince Cable: Yes, I am familiar with the site. It was strategically important for childhood trainspotting, as I recall, quite apart from its potential for housing and regeneration. I am happy to meet the hon. Gentleman. I have already discussed this matter with the council leader and the chief executive. They need some support for infrastructure, although the scale of that is not terribly clear, but we are certainly keen to take this forward.
Hugh Bayley MP says:
"The Secretary of State, Dr Vince Cable, is from York and he knows the
York Central site well, having spent hours there as a youngster trainspotting. He is aware of the site's potential for economic growth in terms of new housing, business development and retail opportunities. The development will provide jobs and economic growth.
"City of York Council have applied to the Government for Critical Infrastructure Investment funding to develop the site and I have written in support of the application. I want Dr Cable to meet us to discuss the bid before the funding is allocated."

Islam, Democracy, and Fundamentalism
Check out this wonderful round-up of views on the prospects for democracy in the Muslim world, including essays by such well-known writers as Fouad Ajami and Kenneth Pollack. (Thank heavens for A&L Daily: how any of us bloggers could find and highlight great nuggets of information like this out of the daily flood of news without the help of the A&L gang, I can't even guess.) There's not much I can personally offer on their various takes on the compatibility of Islam and democracy, either philosophically or in relation to the needs and circumstances of the contemporary Arab world, since I'm not an expert on either Islam or the Middle East; the best I can do is just add a couple of addition voices to the mix: if you want to be informed on these matters, be sure to also read Bernard Lewis and John L. Esposito, two very reputable voices who also happen to profoundly disagree with one another.
However, one thing I can add is regarding the broader issue of Islamic fundamentalism, and fundamentalism generally, as conceived as a challenge to the modern (Western, liberal) world. As I mentioned in an earlier post, John Coumarianos over at Innocents Abroad is doubtful that there is, as he puts it, "a genuine religious element in Islamism" which presents a particular, perhaps even original, challenge to the liberal order. He furthers his argument with a reference to an article by Adam Wolfson which I haven't read, and concludes that "the religous claims of the Islamists may be less genuine than Wolfson thinks." For Coumarianos, "late modern thought," with its almost antinomian commitment to "groundless" principles--in other words, nihilism--is a more likely explanation for recent developments in radical Islam than "traditional religion." "How does Wolfson account for the 9/11 hijackers frequenting strip clubs?" he asks rhetorically.
The implication, I suppose, is that if Islamic fundamentalists don't perfectly live their religion, then their religion must not really be motivating them, at least not any more than are any number of other (no doubt unconsciously held) indulgent, self-satisfying, "postmodern" attacks on the delicate compromises and accomplishments of liberal civilization. And if that is the case, well, we simply need to recognize that the tradition has adequately defended those accomplishments before, and will certainly do so again--no need, in other words, to feel overly threatened by this radical, antiliberal posture: we've survived Rousseau and Nietzsche and Heidegger, so we'll survive this. (This may be a profound misreading of John's claim, but it's what I see him saying. My apologies if I'm getting it all wrong.) I think this attitude, however, betrays a lack of thought regarding the relationship of the liberal achievement to our own tradition. The Western liberal order (usually, but not always, including democracy) is at least partly the fruit of secularization, a process which was for a long time understood rather straightforwardly in Enlightenment terms: people become secular, and hence less religious and more tolerant and (ergo) more capable of self-government, as their mastery over the environment increases, as scientific and technological accomplishments lessen their dependency upon traditional authorities and forms of life, and as new political and economic doctrines encourage individual diversification. According to this theory, complaints with modernity are at least partially complaints about secularization, complaits about the loss of "meaning." Thus did Rousseau attempt to recreate the world of religious intensity through his general will; and thus did Heidegger, in the end, say that only the appearence of a new god could save the modern world. When we look at Islamic fascism in this light, we see just one more nihilistic attack on the secular world, and particularly on its most delicate and wonderful consequence: the liberal compromise which, when rightly understood, allows for liberty and virtue, individuality and belief. But, should you doubt the secularization thesis--not just its particulars, but its whole terminology--then this analysis breaks down. The rise of fundamentalism within the modern world--Christian fundamentalism at home, and Islamic fundamentalism abroad, even in states thoroughly exposed to the possibilities and promises of the modern ethos, such as Algeria and Turkey--poses just such an analysis-breaking challenge. Of course, much of the literature on Islamic fundamentalism makes it simply a feature of elite nationalist ambitions, and thereby assimilates back into an understandable reaction to modernity. But I think that if fundamentalism and nationalism are disentangled somewhat, you'll see that there is more going on. (I disagree with this reading of nationalism too, but I've made that clear in earlier posts.)
The best work that is being done towards such a disentangling today is Charles Taylor's; his current research is all about understanding the relationship between "secularity" and "the public sphere" in the modern West (see here and here for examples of his thinking). Taylor's great contribution (which he admits is not wholly original) is recognizing that the "secular public sphere" within which liberalism is possible is not just a "spatial" accomplishment, but a "temporal" one as well. The modern West developed a way of thinking about time, about temporality, which shaped our sense of what may, and may not, be constituted as a meaningful relationship between persons and events. This wasn't, in Taylor's view, an act which banished God from the public square (though that is what was generally assumed, and consequently has arguably taken place) so much as one which changed our language by which God's relation to the nation, to the people, was "enframed." For example, rather than seeing oneself as primarily "acting out" a meaningful, temporally foreordained role, one derives meaning from temporally open-ended, concurrent relationships. Among other things, this new kind of enframing, even (or perhaps especially) when simplistically misunderstood, made the modern nation-state possible. But fundamentalists, whose diversion from the contemporary world is at least as much espistemological and temporal as moral, are working out (in a highly untheoretical way, to be sure, but still...) an alternative to that public sphere. This is why I've written elsewhere that political theorists, especially those who (like myself, and Taylor) hold to a basically communitarian philosophy--who, though we advocate liberalism, dislike the liberal order being reified (in our view, falsely) into the whole ontological framework of our philosophical tradition--ought to look seriously at fundamentalism. It is not simply complaining about or attacking liberalism; it is bringing out from within the tradition behind liberalism an examination of that public enframing, an examination of how one may speak about (to use one of Bernard Lewis's phrases about the perspective of Islamic fundamentalism) the community being "God's polity" while still being and remaining an modern individual. To be sure, much of this fundamentalist speaking will be profoundly conservative, even illiberally so (the condition of women under the Taliban made that crystal clear). And hence those of us sympathetic to liberalism would want to work towards a liberalizing of these communities: a "liberal fundamentalism," just as we want a liberal Catholic community, a liberal Islamic nation, a liberal Mormon space, and so forth. But this can only be accomplished if we are willing to recognize all the ways in which Islamic fascism is not "just" another nihilistic, sour grapes complaint about all sorts of modern goodies which may have passed the Muslim world by. The religious argument of today's conservative Muslims--including radical Islamism--is an important one, with echoes across the Western intellectual landscape. If Muslim nations do accept liberalism or democracy or both (whatever role Western nations play in that acceptance), it will hopefully be on terms which acknowledge, on some level or another, the multiplicity of ways to be (temporally, epistemologically, and morally) "secular" within any given community, a multiplicity that was, perhaps, always in some sense there in our modern tradition, but one which is also, nonetheless, contra Coumarianos, an idea which hasn't really ever been seen as itself before.

The BBC announced the star who will be playing The Doctor in next year's season, under the new rule of incoming Executive Producer Chris Chibnall, as Jodie Whittaker. This will be the first time a woman will be taking over the role of The Doctor from the outgoing Peter Capaldi, whose tenure will end at this year's Christmas Special which stars Adventures of Space and Time's David Bradley reprising his First Doctor role from the 2013 biopic into the world of Doctor Who.
Born in 1982, graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2005, Whittaker starred in many programs such as Broadchurch, Black Mirror, The Smoke, Cranford, The Night Watch, The Accused, and Tess of the D'Urbervilles.
Announcement video:
The next season of Doctor Who starts next year after the Christmas Special, where Peter Capaldi's tenure as The Doctor ends. Are you excited for the Thirteenth's arrival? Is a female Doctor Who met your expectations?

Health Insurance quotes from only £15 per month!
Very helpful and polite and always try their best to obtain the best quotes. Have been using them for the last 3 years and will continue to use them in the future.
A great service from the initial call, to finalising the agreement. I would highly recommend to my family and friends.
Proactive, efficient, and offered me insurance I need. I would say half price I would end up paying if I did it by myself. Many thanks.
Excellent service. Explained everything in detail and really helped to find the right insurance best suited to my needs - which wasn't necessarily the most expensive.
Good value and the advisor was very helpful and recommended the best policy for my grandson. I would definitely use this service again and recommend to others.
We were contacted in good time to make a knowledgable choice. We were given plenty of options with lots of information to enable us to make the right choice.
The service I received was excellent, the staff member was very efficient and knowledgable. She went out of her way to get the best policy for me.
Great service. I really appreciated the help provided by Active Quote to arrange health insurance. The agent was very informative and proactive. Many thanks!
I received excellent care and attention from the first phone call till the last. Friendly, efficient and patient.
Staff are very helpful, friendly and polite. They call back when they say they will and keep you up to date with progress. Pleasure to deal with.

In agreement with the Western Provincial Health Services, HGH looks after 15 clinics within Zone 3 of Western Province,the area comprising of North New Georgia, Vona Vona Lagoon, Roviana Lagoon and Rendova Islands. The estimated population within the area is over 26,000.
HGH recently has qualified for Baby Friendly Hospital status, having passed the assessment by a team comprising of WHO/UNICEF and Ministry of Health officials.
Currently there are 2 doctors working in the hospital:
- Dr. Graham Longbottom, Medical Superintendent
- Dr. Jenny Longbottom
(Dr. Ramdinthara Sailo and Dr. Zochhuani Ralte already left, early this year. They're now in India after 11 and half years of service at HGH.)
There are over 60 employees in HGH including nurses, paramedics and supporting staff.
HGH has basic laboratory with blood transfusion facility, imaging services and a pharmacy. Surgeries, including Caesarean section, appendicectomy, amputations and many gynae operations are performed in HGH but not this year (2014). currently there aren't any surgeon here. So we refer patients to Gizo Hospital for major or any opertion at all.
HGH also run a College of Nursing (HGCON), with 16 intakes every year.
Medical students on electives are taken in throughout the year. Most of the students come from UK. The rest are from Australia and New Zealand.

I love paper towels and use then every day in my house! I keep then right next to my stove for easy clean ups and serve them with dinner every night. This is a great brand and my other family members use them as well. I like to use them for cookouts as well. They go really fast in my house though because I have two children that uses them as well. I even use them to clean my counters and my counters in both of my bathrooms. They are great for spot cleaning and when using a spray cleaner. They are soft enough to use of my TV screen as well.
These are great: sturdy, just thick enough, and adequately sized, with a very light, fresh scent. I'm sure the manufacturer won't like my saying this, but sometimes you can get by with half a sheet (just tear it in half). Yeah, I'm a major cheapskate. I tried dollar-store wipes, and they're just no good, so I came back to these. I can't bring myself to flush them, however. I was always taught not to flush anything other than TP down the commode, so I have a hard time envisioning how these can break down.
If these are on sale, these are the ones I choose to buy over any other brand! These are the only ones at the same price point as others like bounty that actually feel like they should be expensive! They are super duper soft and hold together so well. I can use these to wipe down my whole kitchen while wet and they never fall apart on me, yet I can wipe my face and don't get that scratchy feeling like others this price!
Scott paper towels has been a part of my family ever since i was a little girl. And now that i have my own little family it has become a part of mine. I love the strength of the towels and the face they can be gentle enough to use on your skin. Another great thing that i absolutely love is the fact that i have the option to choose a half size when my task doesn't require a whole sheet. Lasts me anywhere from 2-3 weeks
Scotts Paper Towel Mega rolls are definitely one of the better brands of paper towels. You may pay more than the cheap brands, but with Scott's you get better quality. These paper towels wipe messes up easily and you don't need to use a bunch to get it clean. I highly recommend Scott's. Buy them in bulk and they will last a long time.
Save the environment one to roll at a time! It's quite strange not having the cardboard tube, but it really doesn't matter. Tp is tp. I have always loved Scott toilet paper, and this was a great price (I don't get the paper so I don't ever have coupons). The lack of cardboard tubing really has little effect on my family's preference.
Such a great value! I buy these paper towels because they are so sturdy. Won't ripe at the first wipe of trying to clean a mess. I first tried them cause I had a coupon but was very pleased with this purchase and have bought them since. Totally recommend this item..especially if you have a child that leaves mess behind like mine!
These paper towels are amazing. I am an artist, whose son also loves to get into my paints and smear things around. These paper towels have been a life-saver. The thickness ensures that you only use a small amount and they are incredibly tough. However, they are cheaper than some of the other brands, but work just as great!
I am a big fan of scott products. I think they have a great quality and the brand is a staple in our home. I love these paper towels because of the Choose-A-Size feature. Sometimes you onl need to use a half of paper towel and other times the whole roll. I think having this option allows for less waste for our environment.
While being able to pick how big of a paper towel I need is a good thing, these towels are not as absorbent as my other brand paper towel, so I ended up using almost 3 times as much as I usually would. That makes them a colossal failure in my book. Yeah, it's just paper, but it's also money, and these were money wasted.

To live simply has never been more complicated and the root cause of so much confusion is the mass amounts of clutter stored in our homes – and in our minds.
We need to tackle the physical, consumable stuff one way and the emotional baggage another, but we do need to get rid of them simultaneously, otherwise the clutter that we are trying so desperately to get rid of, will find clever ways to accumulate again.
Once you have adopted some degree of minimalism in your life and you feel that you have gotten rid of all that you are willing to part with, but somehow you keep ending up with more stuff… you will reach a point where you ask "What's next?".
That's the defining moment where we need to understand the difference between decluttering and uncluttering.
Decluttering is a process that prepares us mentally for more clutter coming back in. It is a routine that needs to be repeated often, even every month, or sooner.
Decluttering is the action of removing junk mail from the kitchen counter on a weekly basis, it is periodically going through your closet to get rid of items that don't fit, only to realize that you wear half of what you own, and it is about collecting only the important emails "just in case" you should need to reference them again one day.
Decluttering often happens on schedule, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, after all there is something wonderful of getting rid of things that we once thought we needed! But, if you have stuff to declutter, it may mean that you have already spent your hard-earned money on something you no longer use, or were gifted items you wouldn't have bought in the first place.
For contrast, uncluttering is a habit that increases your ecological consciousness over time.
You are uncluttering if you recycle every piece of junk mail as it comes in, even better yet if you stop it at the post office and request not to receive any advertisements at all. It is about having a tiny wardrobe that makes you feel comfortable and good about yourself, and it is about tossing those emails straight in the trash and deleting the bin regularly, not to let hundreds or thousands of messages build up. It is also about unsubscribing to newsletters, magazines and newspapers as soon as they no longer serve your interests.
Uncluttering is about saying no to many things, so that you can finally say yes to the experiences that really matter.
Simple living came into our lives more than 10 years ago, and with that slowing down of moving from the city to the countryside, minimalism followed suite.
Over a period of 8 years on our homestead we realized that life lived slowly and intentionally was far more rewarding than an overly busy, consumer-driven one. Through it all we had times of being extremely poor (in the sense of money, but not in time or happiness), we had to learn to forage for food and raise our own animals for meat and we have learned to appreciate the hard times just as much as the good ones.
We once had two cars, a television, closets full of clothes, camping equipment and skis that we rarely used, a plethora of CDs, hundreds of books and plenty of "disposable" credit that allowed us to eat out as often as we felt that we did not have the time or energy to cook for ourselves.
So, we have been there, done that. We too have played our parts as a typical consumers.
But, we have changed and we know that you can too! That is, when you feel you are ready to shift the paradigm that says you must consume to make the economy go around.
We left behind our conventional life and gained the freedom to live lightly.
And we love the journey so much that we want to share our experiences and stories with you!
It is not a rose-lined path, and we ourselves have run into challenging circumstances along the way, but with each struggle we gained strength and insight, and we have developed a strong sense of self-reliance that we hope can inspire you.
If you have questions about simple living and minimalism, or living an unconventional life, then chances are good that between the two of us we have answers.
Newly we will be answering some of those questions by means of blog posts, newsletters, even video, so if you are curious about anything that you cannot find an answer to here on the blog, then click the above image to find out more.
If it is more personalized help and guidance that you need, we are also here to Skype with you for an hour at a time to direct you where you need to go.
Topics we can chat about include:
- green living
- minimalism
- ecological wardrobe
- uncluttering
- worldschooling/life-learning
- gluten-free/paleo diet
- homesteading
- how to embrace your intuition
- or simply how to start your own blog and share your story with the world
Our experiences of ecological living and minimalist life are ready to be shared.
Are you ready to shift your focus and start living the life you want to live – not the lifestyle that society expects you to follow without questioning why?
If you wonder what it feels like to view life in a simple, minimal and eco-friendly way, just reach out and ask.
You can find us just about anywhere online.
Seek and you shall find that minimalism is all around you. You will only see it when you believe it.

Favorite things about Autumn... The weather for a start! Our summers our SO incredibly hot and last for so long that it's a much needed relief when autumn actually hits (which isn't really until the end of October for us). I also love my boots. I can only wear them for a few months before it gets too hot again, so I wear them nearly everyday!ReplyDelete
My favorite thing about Autumn...is all the beautiful COLOR we get to see! The greens turn to yellow, orange, red, and darker red, and these colors looks amazing against the blue-bird blue skies we get so often at the beginning of fall, in the Columbia River Gorge! I take as many photos as I can, this time of year. (I also love that I get to pull out of the closet, and wear, my boots and cable-knit sweaters again).ReplyDelete
My favorite think about autumn is all the fall food. I get to start making soups again and yummy pumpkiny/squashy things. Oh and of course I get to start snuggling up in the bed alot closer, I miss that.ReplyDelete
I like pulling out my hats in autumn ;-) oh, and I posted about your blog, sorry it was so late but I didn't have access to a computer over the weekend :-/ReplyDelete

What do I need to watch what is on my computer on my TV?
Depends on what type of tv you have and what type of output your comuter has. Many newer TV have a VGA input that will allow you to use the TV like a monitor. S-Video is still pretty popular, and some of the better setups offer a DVI from the computer to TV.

Architecture DepartmentBachelor of Architecture.
The Bachelor of Architecture Degree programme prepares students for professional practice in the field of Architecture. Being an undergraduate programme, it has a broad scope, providing exposure to a variety of interests in this field and assisting students to discover their own directions for further development.
Given the complexities of present-day design projects, the architect's role is that of a team Leader and co-ordinator of the input of specialists in various specific disciplines. He needs to possess a sound knowledge of all aspects of modern building technology to be able to draw up an integrated framework for activities of the other members of the team, to direct them and to assume overall responsibility for the collective effort. This is manifested in the courses in the Technological and professional streams.
Master of Architecture (Sustainable Architecture)
1. Course AimsThe School of Planning and Architecture, Vijayawada aims to play a key role in preparing future decision makers to meet the challenges of sustainable development by offering this specialized course. The aim is to develop skills, knowledge and understanding related to environmental sustainability, construction and building technology, adopting the principles and practices of sustainable building design, while responding to environmental challenges such as Climate change, environmental degradation etc.
The course offers a contextualized and deep understanding of sustainability in architecture. Study moves from the broad aspects of Man and Environment, energy and climate zones, through alternative materials and technologies for sustainability, urban sustainability issues, to the specifics of energy and environmental assessment. Waste management, Intelligent buildings, Eco cities, Passive & active solar strategies for energy conservation will be explored along the way. Throughout the course students are encouraged to challenge existing orthodoxies and to explore potential, cultural and technical responses to a changing world, whilst respecting the limits posed by our ecosystem.

This competing renewal application aims at investigating the hypothesis that exposure of human melanocytes to ultraviolet radiation (UV) and/or the physiological agonist 1-melanocyte stimulating hormone (1-MSH) or antagonist agouti signaling protein (ASIP) modulates the expression of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene, and regulates the activation of the receptor by affecting its desensitization, internalization and resensitization. The MC1R is a Gs protein-coupled receptor with seven transmembrane domains that is expressed on human melanocytes. Activation of this receptor by its agonists 1-MSH or ACTH stimulates cAMP formation and the synthesis of the brown-black eumelanin, which confers cutaneous photoprotection. We have shown that activation of the MC1R is pivotal for the UV-induced tanning response, and importantly, reduces the extent of UV-induced DNA damage by enhancing nucleotide excision repair and counteracting oxidative stress in human melanocytes. These effects explain why loss-of-function alleles of the MC1R are associated with increased risk for melanoma. We are proposing that MC1R expression and function are regulated at different levels in response to UV, its physiological agonists and antagonist. To investigate the above stated hypothesis, we propose the following three Specific Aims. First, we will investigate the regulation of MC1R gene expression and receptor trafficking by real time RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunostaining. Second, we will determine the activation of the MC1R, by quantitating the number of membrane receptors/melanocyte, its agonist-induced desensitization, internalization, and resensitization. Third, we will define the roles of G protein receptor kinases (GRKs) and 2-arrestins in MC1R surface expression and sequestration. The significance of the proposed studies lies in the critical role of the MC1R and melanocortins in the UV responses of human melanocytes, and in filling the gap in the existing knowledge about regulation of this receptor in the physiologically-relevant cell, the epidermal melanocyte. Given that the MC1R is a melanoma susceptibility gene and an important determinant of the UV-induced tanning response, elucidating the regulation of MC1R expression and activation will lead to new strategies to prevent melanoma and other types of skin cancer by increasing the activity of the MC1R and optimizing the photoprotective capacity of the melanocyte, particularly in high risk individuals.
The outcome of this grant application is expected to lead to new strategies for prevention of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, and of non-melanoma skin cancers. These strategies will be based on modulating the activity of the melanocortin 1 receptor by mechanisms that will be elucidated during the course of this grant proposal. The incidence of melanoma in the U.S. and Eastern countries continues to rise with no effective treatment for advanced disease;hence the relevance of this project for public health.

Hepatitis B
Approximately 257 million people are chronically infected with the Hepatitis B virus ("HBV"), including approximately 17 million people in the United States and Europe, leading to progressive liver disease and approximately 887,000 deaths each year. There are relatively few new therapies in development for the treatment of HBV. The current standard of care requires chronic treatment with antiviral therapies to suppress the HBV virus. While there are effective vaccines for the prevention of Hepatitis B infection, there is a need for therapies that improve the clearance of HBSAGand potentially lead to a cure. We are developing inarigivir for the treatment of HBV chronic infection. We believe inarigivir has the potential to provide a functional cure of HBV by increasing the clearance of HBsAg, HBsAg is the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus that indicates active hepatitis B infection. Clearance of HBsAg would be indicative of a functional cure. Currently available treatments for HBV include Barraclude (entecavir) and Viread (tenofovir). These drugs are DAAs which suppress viral replication and had reported worldwide revenues of approximately $2.4 billion in 2016 primarily for the treatment of HBV. In addition, in Europe, pegylated interferon-α, or PEG-IFN-α, products are indicated for first line treatment of HBV virus according to EASL guidelines for HBV treatment for certain patient populations. We expect that the market for HBV treatments will continue to expand as new therapies come to market.

This is the interim, first stage evidence, report for the M25 south-west quadrant study. It outlines the high level case for improvements to the M25 south-west quadrant and it will inform further work being carried out to develop the options for intervention.
The report finds that:
- the study area is economically prosperous with a strong, highly skilled labour market
- the study area faces regular severe congestion and increasingly unreliable journey times which could risk the competitiveness, attractiveness and economic growth aspirations in the local area.
- given the complex nature of travel movements in this area, it is unlikely a single option dealing with all issues to an acceptable level will be found
Background to the M25 south-west quadrant strategic study
The M25 south-west quadrant strategic study is one of 6 strategic studies that will inform the development of the second phase of the Road investment strategy (RIS 2).
The study was announced as part of the first phase of the Road investment strategy (RIS 1) published in December 2014. The RIS 1 and RIS 2 set out a long-term approach to improve England's motorways and major roads (the 'strategic road network').
