homemade switchblade
Maybe this video will help.
Here in austria, there is no such law. We can have switchblades here. The internet isn't just for Americans. I can't tell you how frustrated I am with Americans constantly saying "That's illegal" without ever asking "Where are you from?"
As I said in your other topic, you are wrong with your assumption.
In Austria it is legal to buy and posess such knifes but not to carry them around in public - no matter if visible to others or not.
They also fall under the dangerous weapons laws in your country.
Before you make statements that might be vital for others you might actually want to check what you are talking about ;)
4) the possession, and transportation upon his person, of any switchblade knife with a blade three inches or less in length by any individual who has only one arm.
Switchblades however, are often covered by specific law. Such laws generally restrict one or more of the following: manufacture, export, importation, sale, possession, or carrying in a public place.
In Canada switchblades are illegal. They are not legal to sell, buy, trade, carry or otherwise possess.
Most switchblades are illegal to own, import or export. However, if the blade is side-opening, a maximum of 8.5 cm long, the breadth is a minimum of 20% of length, and is not double-edged, they are legal.
United States:
Federal law
The Switchblade Act, (public law 85-623, enacted on August 12, 1958, and codified in 15 USC 1241-1245), prohibits the manufacture or transportation of switchblade knives in interstate commerce.
Local laws, an example - in California:
653k. Every person who possesses in the passenger's or driver's area of any motor vehicle in any public place or place open to the public, carries upon his or her person, and every person who sells, offers for sale, exposes for sale, loans, transfers, or gives to any other person a switchblade knife having a blade two or more inches in length is guilty of a misdemeanor.
And one more - Connecticut law states that:
§ 53-206. Carrying of dangerous weapons prohibited.
(a) Any person who carries upon one's person any BB. gun, blackjack, metal or brass knuckles, or any dirk knife, or any switch knife, or any knife having an automatic spring release device by which a blade is released from the handle, having a blade of over one and one-half inches in length, or stiletto, or any knife the edged portion of the blade of which is four inches or over in length, any police baton or nightstick, or any martial arts weapon or electronic defense weapon, as defined in section 53a-3, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than three years or both. Whenever any person is found guilty of a violation of this section, any weapon or other instrument within the provisions of this section, found upon the body of such person, shall be forfeited to the municipality wherein such person was apprehended, notwithstanding any failure of the judgment of conviction to expressly impose such forfeiture
Full-Auto Knife
Common Use Names: Flick Knife, Switchblade, Automatic Knife
Cited: The Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act (1959)
Prohibits: Manufacture, import, sale or hire, or offer of sale or hire, or lending or giving to any other person.
Legal Definition: Any knife which has a blade which opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device in or attached to the handle of the knife.
Common Misconceptions: Rolox actions, Speedsafe actions (commonly referred to as semi-automatic knives) are not full-auto knives. Whilst they open in a similar fashion, they do not meet the criteria of the Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act (1959), as the device required to be operated to deploy the blade is attached to the blade itself, and therefore is not in nor attached to the handle of the knife.

Talmud Trailer (2007)
01 January 2007 Factual 55 mins
In this authoritative documentary, director Pierre-Henry Salfati traces the history of the Talmud the repository of millennia of Jewish wisdom. In doing so, he posits the question: What comprises this cardinal text of Judaism? Originally passed down orally from master to student, the Talmud is the hidden face of the Torah, or Old Testament. It is a vast body of legal, mythic, and philosophical texts, and a mixture of religious commentary and debate, of history and science, and of anecdote and humor. No other text has had such an influence on Jewish life as it details the principles, ethical codes, and laws that serve as a guide for conduct. In addition to an exhaustive exploration of the Talmud, the film also guides the viewer through the history of Jewish communities, concluding with present-day New York.

Aldous Huxley Quotes About PersonalityQuotes about: Personality
All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter.
Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation. It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.

I have a fun little 2-Minute Tip mini series for you. Over the next several weeks I am going to share quick tips on using Vellum Cardstock. Many of us used vellum WAY back when and it's true…. it was difficult to work with. It was super thin and really delicate.
Vellum gives an amazing softness to a project but we've kind of turned our back on it. Many don't know that Stampin' Up's vellum is CARDSTOCK vellum so it's sturdy and much easier to work with.
Today I want to share with you how to HEAT EMBOSS using Vellum Cardstock. A lot of crafters never think about heat embossing on vellum because it's so thin but as I said, Stampin' Up offers a cardstock thickness of vellum and it holds up very well to the heat too.
The measurements for my card are:
- Soft Sky Cardstock – 8 ½" x 5 ½", score and fold at 4 ¼"
- Very Vanilla – 4 ½" x 3″
- Vellum Cardstock – 4 ¼" x 2 ¾"
Want to order any of the supplies you need to create the card? Just click a pic to add them to your order!
I am excited about sharing some fun ways to use Vellum. Who knows how many tips I will have but I plan on at least 4. It really is a lovely medium to work with.
It's that time again! We have to say good-bye to some stamps and accessories in our current catalog as we get ready for our NEW catalog in June. You may have stamp sets on your wish list and you will want to make sure they didn't get "cut". If they did? Order now! Oh, and did you notice that some items are discounted up to 50% off?

So, I am stepping way out of my comfort zone today. I am making homemade Greek yogurt! While I was in Minneapolis, my friend Kelly showed me how. Oh my gosh was it GOOD! You actually make it in the microwave. It's cooling now and then I have to strain it. It won't be ready until later tonight and I hope it's worth the wait.
I'm not going to share a recipe since I have no idea how it's going to turn out yet. I will let you know.
I am very excited about it though. I have some blueberries just itching to be thrown in!
Well, that's it for me today. Hope you have a fabulous Tuesday my sweet stampin' peeps!!!

For those who need it, Complete the form below to get started!
It is common to hear that people who smoke and people who are overweight are more likely to get a heart attack. According to the National Institute of Health, two-thirds of the population of America are overweight. There are certain circumstances that are not exactly ideal for your heart. Here are a few habits that you can begin to develop for your heart today.
Believe it or not, getting yourself another cup of java is good for your heart. Two or three cups of coffee a day is actually a good thing. Go ahead; enjoy that first cup of coffee in the morning. Your heart will thank you.
Your heart and emotions tend to be related. If you see the world as threatening and are quick to anger, this makes it risky for your heart. Stress, anxiety and depression are also known as SAD. Feeling these emotions puts you at greater risk for heart disease. Keeping your emotions calm and your disposition serene goes a long way towards a long, healthy life. Body hormones that damage the heart are released by SAD such as epinephrine and cortisol. Blood sugar and blood pressure increase and can be threatening to the heart. However, getting enough exercise, sleep and the right diet will do wonders for your quality of life. Be sure to socialize and get some exercise if you feel depressed, anxious or stressed. See a psychiatrist if you need a prescription for mood disorders. Both your heart and your mood will benefit from this.
Heart problems don't come from salt per se. You can liberally shake salt on most of your food if you have low blood pressure, are healthy and have good levels of cholesterol. Keeping your salt under 1,500 milligrams daily is the recommendation. On the other hand, if you have a heart problem and have high blood pressure, avoid salt at all costs. The body retains water when you eat a lot of salt. This causes swollen legs, high blood pressure, and an all-over groggy feeling. Season food with herbs instead of salt. On very rare occasions, sprinkle a bit of salt on your food if you must.
Do you know your cholesterol level and your blood pressure? Being aware of what these levels are for your body will help give you unexpected health issues or prevent you from being a walking time bomb. High blood pressure increases your risk for getting a heart attack, since there are hardly any symptoms before it happens. Be aware of these risks by getting a regular check-up. In addition, you won't get any symptoms with high cholesterol. You can be a fitness fanatic with an over-300 cholesterol level. Knowing what the levels of your cholesterol and blood pressure are may just save you in the long run. If you do get a check up and the results come out high, get a couple more check-ups in the next one to ensure that these are not flukes. Your healthcare practitioner may recommend medication for blood pressure if necessary. If there are bad side effects, ask your doctor if there are alternatives. In no way should you skip taking medications at any cost as this may be dangerous to your health.
No matter how many times dentists have advised you to floss daily, how many people really follow this advice? Maybe if you realize that flossing may actually save your heart, you will think twice about skipping the floss.
There is a link between heart health and flossing. Gum inflammation can sometimes lead to body inflammation, which risks a heart attack. Flossing everyday gives you a chance to rule out plaque in the bloodstream which can be a contributor to heart issues.
If you are deprived of sleep on a continuous basis you are stressing out your body, whether you realize it or not. Hormones that damage the heart are increased when you are in a constant state of stress. People who get less than six hours of sleep each night and who are over the age of forty-five are twice as vulnerable to getting heart attacks compared to those that sleep up for six to eight hours. Cardiovascular health requires seven hours a night of sleep. Sleep apnea may also be the cause of sleep deprivation. When you sleep for the appropriate number of hours but wake up exhausted, make an appointment with your health care practitioner for a check-up. After all, it is both quality and amount of sleep that affects health overall.
More and more information points to the fact that red meat should simply be banished forever for all diets. In particular, steak, ham and bacon as well as other processed red meat need to be limited. There is a link between cancer, heart disease and other ailments to high consumption of these types of red meat. In addition, TMAO levels are raised in the body when you eat meat. TMAO is an organic ingredient in red meat that is related to heart ailments. Meat lovers also tend to eat fewer greens, which works against health even more.
Eat a diet based on plants to protect your heart. There are diets that include fish or chicken in place of meat for protein. Have protein just once a week if you must. Lessen the fatty oil or gravy that you pour over the meat.
There is no harm in slacking on the couch for some television after a hard day's work, right? Wrong. When it comes to your heart being a couch potato is the 'new smoking.' Even if you do a daily workout at the gym, when you sit down for hours at the end of the day doing nothing, it is not healthy for your metabolism. There is no need to give up television altogether. You might, however, want to buy a treadmill instead of a couch to put in front of it. At the very least, take a walk around the house or do some jumping jacks. Sit up now and then to do some stretching. Your risk of developing heart disease is greater the more sedentary your lifestyle is.
By following these beneficial habits you will have better health for your heart, decrease your risk of heart disease, and feel better about yourself knowing that you are treating your body the way it deserves to be treated. With respect and lots of care!

The Jaguars have had a pretty busy week personnel-wise, re-signing wide receiver Arrelious Benn and backup quarterback Chad Henne. The biggest move they made, though, was deciding not to exercise the four-year option they had on left tackle Kelvin Beachum's contract.
That doesn't mean Beachum is gone.
As ESPN's Mike DiRocco reported, Beachum won't become a free agent until the start of the new league year on March 9, so the Jaguars have until at least then to decide whether they still want Beachum protecting Blake Bortles or Henne's blindside going forward.
All the Jags have really done here is decide they don't want to pay the five-year veteran nearly $9 million a year to do that, because that's the average salary Beachum would have been granted had they agreed to pick up the $39.625 million option.
Exercising the option also would have turned Beachum's 2017 salary of $7.5 million and $5.5 million of his $8.5 million 2018 salary into guaranteed payouts. So this was more of a financial move than anything, though it does carry some on-field risks.
If the Jaguars and Beachum can't agree on a new deal before March 9 Beachum will hit free agency, where he could find a deal more to his liking. He was after all a key cog in a line that allowed only 34 sacks last year, the fewest allowed by a Jags team since 2007.
And that would leave the Jaguars in a bit of a bind at left tackle, where they're a bit short on reserves. Now, there are a couple of options in free agency they could look into but they'll probably end up overpaying for them, especially if they decide to target Matt Kalil.
The draft is always an option but the Jags may have to trade back into the first round to get a starter there because the best left tackles are currently going in the last third of the first round, according to most mock drafts.
There's also a chance the Jaguars could re-sign Luke Joeckel and move him to left tackle but if that's the game plan then the Jags are probably better off just paying to keep Beachum, who was more than solid in 15 starts last year after returning from ACL surgery the year before.
As for re-signing Henne and Benn, Jags coach Doug Marrone said the team really likes the experience Henne brings to the quarterback room and the value Benn brings both as a reserve pass catcher and as a special teams contributor. His lone TD of 2016 was the deciding score in the fourth quarter in Chicago.
A second-round pick of the Buccaneers in 2010, Benn's career has been marred by injuries but Jags general manager David Caldwell said he "exemplifies perseverance," a trait the Jaguars greatly appreciate.

Nuclear decommissioning can be one of the most complicated engineering projects that it's possible to undertake. While undertaking decommissioning work it is necessary to both conduct difficult civil engineering processes and work with hazardous materials.
As well as having to carry out work under incredibly difficult conditions, nuclear decommissioning has incredibly high stakes – the consequences of a mistake can be catastrophic. At worst, failure to correctly dispose of nuclear waste can cause serious health problems in the nearby population – possibly even leading to fatalities.
That's why it's so essential to carry out work to the highest possible standard. Very few organisations have enough expertise to carry out large-scale nuclear decommissioning by themselves. That's why it's common for companies to hire consultants to advise on the technical aspects of the job.
Corecut Nuclear are a leading provider of Consultancy Services to the Nuclear Decommissioning industry.
Our company are experts on a huge range of civil and structural engineering procedures which are used as part of the Nuclear Decommissioning process. We can advise on diamond drilling, diamond wire sawing, diamond wall sawing, remote controlled demolition by robolition and concrete shaving. With more than 35 years of experience, our expertise on these matters is immense. We can advise on almost any concrete or metal cutting problem – no matter how complicated.
Furthermore, we have acquired considerable expertise in the nuclear industry after undertaking several projects on nuclear sites. We have participated in the Dounreay Site restoration, and worked for the UK Atomic Energy Authority at Sellafield. Corecut Nuclear are a member of the Design Services Alliance
We can also provide skilled classified personnel to assist with all manner of nuclear decommissioning tasks.
So if you require any additional expertise with any nuclear decommissioning project, Corecut Nuclear should be the obvious choice to provide Consultancy Services.

This conversation between 1913 Press authors Cynthia Arrieu-King and Lily Hoang began with their latest books. Unlikely Conditions (1913 Press) is Cynthia Arrieu-King's collaboration with the late Hillary Gravendyk. Lily Hoang's A Bestiary was published by Cleveland State University Poetry Center.
Cynthia Arrieu-King: Where did these essays begin for you? What does essay writing allow you to do that poetry might not? Or does it matter to you at all?
Lily Hoang: Form and genre are really important to me, actually. I am insistent when I call these essays—and it all goes back to etymology, right? To essai: to trial, to experiment—even though it's already been classified as both poetry and fiction. The essay declares itself as a challenge, to self and to form, by definition. This isn't fiction's concern, at all, and I'm a fiction writer, first and foremost, and so the rhetorical qualities of the essay—its ethos, pathos, and logos—were also foreign concepts to me, things that I had to learn. I think the essay demands a self-rigor that isn't necessary in fiction, which is not to say that fiction isn't rigorous! (I'm not really qualified to talk about poetry in the least so I'll leave that kind of thinking to the poets and scholars.) All of which is to say: the essays in A Bestiary are essays, intentionally so, I argue they adhere to form and follow the rules of the genre. But that wasn't in question at all, sorry.
Or, rather, will you talk to me about empathy? Especially in relationship to your poetry, obviously, but also applicable to life, whichever you choose or both.
CAK: I hear what you're saying about an essay/essai. That notion of the essaying being "a try" always makes me think of an avatar bumping through a maze. I think you transformed/avoided the literal texture and laborious quality that sometimes crops up in essays. There's a kind of space set up for the reader to inhabit as she puts together the pieces you lay out. The "trial" is an active mode for the reader too. It's interesting to think about the ethos, logos, and pathos of an essay that has a lot of parabolic qualities or fairy tale qualities: the story about the young man who wants to shoot the tiger who killed his father, for example, has an authority by wisdom and uncanny circumstances. It's like you made a way of making a "proof" that allows you to stand outside the more prosaic language of proof writing.
Empathy. In our public discourse it seems to be all empathy or no empathy. Useless.
I have a friend who hated to have a dog bring her a ball because of the never-ending back and forth throwing and retrieving and when she told me this I remember being mystified. My watery personality tips me towards personal and intimate communication; I assume this makes my poems contain more private language and lyricism, but also, I assume I will find something to relate to in everyone and that a poem should be available for others to enter. I think it's easy for me to collaborate because it's easy for me to play and make space for others; Hillary was game for articulating and understanding the subtlest things your heart might be going through. Hillary was very intuitive about people. In poems she was able to assess precisely the most fine observations and I liked providing a vehicle for those images and insights.
Maybe the flipside of empathy are those moments when people say things that are completely outside the common ground or destructive, intentionally or not. I wonder if you can say something about what you get from writing around or through difficult moments when empathy fails?
LH: I guess selfishly I was asking about empathy because your very first poem calls that into attention but also because I'm working on revisions on a serial killer novel, one where I empathize—deeply—with the killer while constantly recognizing that she's a monster who has acted monstrously. Your answer, then, is especially compelling to me, about the all-or-nothing quality to empathy discourse. There must be gradients, and we must never forget scale.
I'm not sure I've ever failed at empathy. People wrong me all the time, and I somehow always understand why they could justify their actions—not that this necessarily leads to forgiveness, but they always include my understanding when weighing matters. I don't hold grudges, and maybe I should!, but it's just not in me.
Grudges are conceptually fascinating to me. This has nothing to do with your book, but do you hold grudges? What are your thoughts on it? (And then we'll get back to books!?! Not at the rate I'm going!)
CAK: Ah, oh it seemed to me your essays showed a lot of people not being very empathetic to where you were coming from or somehow outside of some area where they could understand you. But then collaged with people or situations that did/do understand you. And that the collaging between, say, your life and fairy tales and scientific facts seemed to me to give a charge to the empty space between them. Maybe to give pressure to the ways recognition or mis-recognition persisted against you without resorting to explanation which can be somehow less satisfying. It may draw more definition into the picture of Lily and the world. I like hearing you do not hold grudges. I'm trying to get better at that.
Grudges. Now I'm having fun attempting to think of a grudge conceptually! I think there's a kind of wielding of the power of silence that sometimes feels like authority but might just be an attempt at authority or even protecting the self. I have seen very intimately what grudges do within families (haha, not naming any names, but I know some champion grudge keepers). Sometimes it's the power of not using words, not making contact allows the grudger to stop the normal processes within the group/relationship. It makes everyone suffer. I remember once a student told me someone suddenly broke up with her and never explained or talked her through it and it devastated her so much she became profoundly ill. Can we establish just for the sake of essai that ghosting is a kind of grudge? Does that work in your way of thinking about it?
And since then I've always thought it's just not kind to be silent that way, even if you have to articulate something that is painful, be a human and articulate it. Or the grudge that is a re-stated wrong done against you! I don't know, I don't think nature rewards that kind of stasis with anything but catastrophe. Unless there's a way to be funny about it.
What have you come up with in thinking about grudges? For some reason I think of the son who learns how to shoot the tiger … isn't he totally grudge driven? Yet he manages to transmute his grudge into a kind of weird accomplishment. A sickness of persistence.
LH: I love the idea of the silence of the grudge. And then there's your drawing in of nature rejecting stasis! In Madness and Civilization, Michel Foucault writes, "The slowness of revenge, like the insolence of desire, belongs to nature. There is nothing that the madness of men invents which is not either nature made manifest or nature restored." (Note: please don't be impressed with this totally apt Foucault quote. Haha, I definitely don't have Foucault quotes ready in my hip pocket or anything. It's the epigraph to the book I just finished writing.)
So maybe I think of the grudge, conceptually, as obsession and revenge as compulsion.
Yes, the boy who hunts the white tiger holds a grudge. The white tiger did, after all, kill his father. Obsession leads way to compulsion, to action, a movement away from the interior, an externalization against these things that haunt us. And so the boy eventually works hard enough to achieve the American Dream (killing the white tiger, saving his father and a totally hot chick, and on top of it all, he gets an amazing job, which, of course, all adds up to happily ever after), but then you learn how the tiger became white and suddenly, the boy is no longer heroic—what justifies killing? Revenge? Is that enough?
In the previous incarnation of this interview, you asked me, "Is there ever relief from obsessions? How do you come to that relief?" No, obsession never leaves, even after it has been enacted through compulsion. Compulsion doesn't expel the obsession. The best you can hope for is transference. That being said, whereas my obsession continues to party hard, I can somewhat control my compulsion.
Here's a funny example of my failure to control both obsession and compulsion: "Jacob" from A Bestiary and I were texting and everything was fine. "Harold" and I had—at this point—been broken up for a few weeks. (I had already completed A Bestiary by then, so this isn't in the book.) Everything was going fine. I took a trip to Martinique with Jackie Wang, and suddenly Jacob stopped responding. OK, so when I was 18 I used to call him more times on any given night than I care to admit—but this was back in the day before Called ID so whatever. I would call that action a compulsion. And I thought I had a handle on it now, as a 35-year-old adult, and then before I knew what was happening, I was sending increasingly crazy messages to this guy, messages so desperate and embarrassing that I'd delete them from my phone so I wouldn't have to be witness to it ever again (which doesn't work, by the way, if all your devices are synced. I still have what I sent him somewhere in my Messages on my laptop, ugh). And he kept not responding, so I kept sending stranger and stranger texts—and then one day he responded. Two weeks later. Turns out he'd been on vacation and he intentionally turns off his phone overseas.
I want you to imagine this. It's one thing if I'm sending texts that he's ignoring for whatever reason. Now imagine my shame that he turned on his phone and got them all at once. And so I learn again why my compulsive acts are bad. But, also—what kind of guy gets all these insane texts and then actually responds? If you asked me, he should have no business with the likes of me, ha!
Tell me your thoughts on obsession. And how did you balance that obsession during the process of collaboration?
CAK: I just have to say this bit I italicized made me crazy clown laugh: "before I knew what was happening, I was sending increasingly crazy messages to this guy, messages so desperate and embarrassing that I'd delete them from my phone so I wouldn't have to be witness to it ever again (which doesn't work, by the way, if all your devices are synced)." I see this as a little play: a man comes in with a suitcase, opens it on his bed to return things to their place. He takes out a phone and turns it on. The lights dim: a woman comes out of the darkened other half of the stage and just recites all the texts she sent him. Well! We've all been there.
Obsession. First, I have had a long series of obsessions since I was little and I think they just form a continuous parade into adulthood. I mean, seriously, from learning to tie my shoe, to getting a dog, to making quilts, to celebrities, to colors. It's like that cartoon where the one stick figure says, "What the hell is that?" to the other stick figure who has this multicolored smoking scribble coming out of its head and second stick figure says, "Oh that? That's just my mind."
As far as how this hinges with art, I definitely have a distaste for things being organized and perfectly done. I really shudder when I am around that kind of control. So obsessions to me signal what you're after artistically and, seeing several different obsessions together, ones' obsessions in a collage if you will, can really be instructive. (I wonder what do we get from a collage of Lily Hoang's obsessions? Easy answer is The Bestiary). While things are tidy here in my living room, there are at least three piles of total chaos. My friend Margaret calls literal messes like that the subconscious.
With regards to the collaboration, I think maybe I'm realizing right now that friendship is often built on shared obsessions and that making things/art can certainly be one of them. Making things manifest. With Hillary, the fun lay in our perceptions illuminating an idea and our enjoyment of the others' illuminating idea. She was tremendously empathetic and also hilarious. I'd say she was more illuminating and I was more bringing in the flotsam of the world. She got some momentum from my chaos and I got form from her decisiveness. I will indulgently say that once, we were talking about animals in a poem (the long poem in the book) and I blurted out "never follow a hyena to a second location" (after "never follow a hippie to a second location"). I think we laughed about this for five minutes. I wanted to tell her that joke again after she passed away. Wherever she may have ended up. Jokes may be related to obsession!
What about traveling? Does that inform your writing at all? What does it do for you? I know you've been to Europe this summer and then I think are going back and just mentioned this cool trip to Martinique.
LH: Once, Jackie Wang was over at my house and we were talking about obsession—which was and is a common topic of conversation for us—we indulged in and divulged our obsessions. So we were talking about stalking, without recognizing that stalking is aberrant behavior, even though we all do it, right? Or do we? And so we started asking around and it turns out a lot of people have never stalked anyone else, and this struck us as strange.
Although I am prescribed Xanax, I don't like to take it and rarely do because it messes with my memory too much, and I already don't sleep so my memory is at a deficit from the start. I don't need to make it worse. But when I do take it, the delight: I float. And I always wonder if this is what people without anxiety feel like. But the answer is no, it is not. What I am feeling is strictly chemical induced. Who are the people without anxiety? Medical diagnosis is a privilege.
On the subject of privilege, last winter break I went to Martinique with Jackie. She's getting her PhD at Harvard and had just finished a class with Jamaica Kincaid. I have taught A Small Place twice, once to my Creative Non-Fiction workshop and another to a Women Writers lit class. Which is to say, we stepped onto Martinique soil with the shameful mark of "tourist" on us. And yet—we were in paradise. And yet—the races of people who have died on that very island for me to enjoy paradise. And yet—we were in paradise: I'm not sure you get that part. People often misuse ambivalence to mean that you don't care, but it's the exact opposite, right? It's an excess of care, antipodally placed, it's that we think we are limited to feeling only one emotion—one sensation—at a time.
CAK: I love that you travel with Jackie. I don't know who that is, but it sounds great to have a buddy to travel with (and I will look up their writing). A great way to pursue moments in which life feels simultaneously like a fairy tale and the tainted, complicated part you mentioned.
The fast track/awkward way to end this interview, since we're wrapping up, would be to say: I've gone through the process of getting a restraining order in a city courtroom and I declined a free trip to St. Lucia because I couldn't deal with the idea of being waited on the way they do, lol … But wait! I did once in college leave a dead bird wrapped in newspaper on someone's doorstep cos I knew he needed one for an art project and I thought he was cute. It did not work, go figure! That guy and I lived to laugh about that day in a conversation many years later. I also visited the island of Guadeloupe when I was a tween (before they were called tweens) and along with the paradisical hammock overlooking a cliff to the sea, there was a revolt: someone got put in jail for stabbing someone with a machete so all the groceries and government went on strike. My mom and aunt couldn't get bread. (Imagine explaining this to a tween). I have lived the both ends of paradise and I suspect you have too. And so ends our tour of obsession, empathy, excess, the landscapes we can get to in our minds, usually in that homeland of ambivalence, negative capability. I've had a lot of fun, Lily. I hope you have a lot more great travels and that we all get to read more of your fabulous books.
LH: St. Lucia and Guadeloupe are Martinque's neighbors! And check out Jackie Wang's work! She's more than brilliant: she's a visionary.
This is the most fun interview I've done. Thank you so much! My brain worked hard!
CAK: Mine too. You've made me laugh so much.

I mean do you really, really know what your customer experience is like? Have you gone through the processes you expect customers to? Have you used your site in the way you expect customers to? Have you done so on multiple devices on multiple platforms? You most definitely should.
Why, you ask? Well, the answer is quite simple – because it is so easy to overlook or gloss over real trouble spots or functionality issues in your online processes. All of the marketing in the world cannot make up for a poor web site experience for a customer or worse, a potential customer! You could have the most kick ass campaigns running out there and if what a person is lead to is a frustrating or difficult experience, you have just wasted all of that marketing money when they get annoyed and leave your client's site.
I posted a rather snarky tweet to LinkedIn earlier this week on this topic:
Does anyone at @LinkedIn spend any time trying to use the site as people want to use it? Wow is the interface un-user-friendly.
— Julie F Bacchini (@NeptuneMoon) November 16, 2015
I got a very quick response from LinkedIn asking for more specific feedback, which I appreciated. But here is the truth – LinkedIn has gotten really hard to use. My general comments to them were that if what they want people to do is spend time on the site, working on building connections and using those connections to make other connections, well that is a painful process. The way the site functions has changed over the years, which is a good thing. But sometimes, as things change, grow or evolve technologically, things that used to be simple and useful are simply no longer either. I think LinkedIn is a great example of this phenomenon.
Have you tried to browse through your own connections, or even worse one of your connections' connections lately? It is downright painful. Navigating from a larger list to then view a specific profile and then get back to that list to continue browsing where you left off is all but impossible. Wondering why engagement and time on site figures are dropping off for LinkedIn? This might be a clue, if anyone is actually looking for clues from the point of view of their users.
I'm not trying to pick on LinkedIn here. They are by no means the only site guilty of this type of thing. The bigger question I want you to take away from this post is to figure out if any of your clients' sites are guilty of this. Start with the landing pages. Actually go through the steps you expect a potential customer to go through.
Questions To Keep In Mind While Testing The User Experience
- Are there any issues you encounter either on the page in general or during the desired conversion process?
- Does the page take forever to load?
- Are there places where things are not 100% clear in what a visitor is supposed to do?
- Are there places where the functionality is not functioning properly?
- Is there solid carry through from ad copy to landing page to whatever a person can do next?
- Are the answers to the above questions the same in multiple browsers and on multiple devices?
Expand Your Testing Pool To Include More Than You & Your Client
I also think it is a great practice to have others you can call on to do some of this user testing as well. Those testers, ideally, should be:
- Not overly technically savvy (unless the client's target audience is very tech savvy)
- Not very familiar with the client's site (having someone test Amazon who uses Amazon a lot is not the same as an unfamiliar tester doing it)
- Not told prior to testing what the end goal of the interaction is supposed to be
You don't even need a huge sample set to get some really valuable feedback. For instance, if your site has major technical issues on an Android phone and you've only ever tested it on iPhones, you can find that out pretty quickly. If you are asking for information that people are hesitant to provide or have questions about how secure your site is if they provide it, you can find that out pretty quickly. If they have absolutely no idea what they are supposed to do on the page, you can also find that out pretty quickly. Are you sensing a theme here yet?
It is so well worth your time to do this kind of testing. Most clients don't do it and they will be very appreciative if you are able to uncover issues on their sites that may be tanking conversions! Sometimes it is even as simple as changing one bit of terminology because a client has made assumptions about their potential customers' specific knowledge about their industry, product or service. Or fixing an input type on a form to make it easier for mobile users to complete the task. You won't know until you start investigating!
Developers and engineers, who are the most responsible for the way sites function and how they evolve, have a very particular point of view. They design and create things to function. They are given a set of parameters for what actually needs to happen and they create the code that allows those actions to happen. They are generally quite good at these tasks. But, again in general, developers and engineers are not looking at their work from your end users' perspective. They are not taking into account anything about the people who will be using what they build. They are just trying to execute what you've asked them to execute. To really create online experiences that work for the intended audiences, you need a team effort with people testing and sharing "actual person" feedback with the development team so that the end result is a site or page that not just technically functions as intended, but works for the people you want to use it.
Always love to hear what you think or what you've tried in testing user experiences for yourself or clients. Sound off in the comments or hit me up on Twitter (@NeptuneMoon).

text: Well, today we had 3 more customers approach us about doing their lawns. I've watched the same scrub abuse these lawns for the last several weeks. All three were small and easy to do. I priced them at $10 more than what the scrub was charging. That's 8 that I've picked up in this neighborhood from this guy. All of them are coming to us. As it's been said, quality does pay. I just wanted to share this with you. Good luck.

text: Hi Guys Might be nothing be I left the car undriven for nearly 2 weeks and when I started driving the breaks sorted of sounded like they were grinding (in a blocked kind of way). There was also this rubbing noise from teh rear left (i think) when I started to move the car slowly. It all kind of went away within a couple a minutes but it was quite a shock to me to be honest. It hasn't come back for at at since that day so I'm kind of clueless. Any views? Pii

Life's Like That
"The past is a foreign country," wrote L.P. Hartley. "They do things differently there." So why should your loved ones travel when they can read biographies? The past makes an eminently convenient destination: It's cheap to visit; vaccinations aren't required; and it's closer than we might think. Just fifty years ago, Americans had never seen the Victoria's Secret catalogue, let alone Internet porn. Pictures of ladies in lingerie still carried an illicit thrill, and shots of black-banged fetish queen Bettie Page, especially, had the dizzying effect of erotic stun grenades. In The Real Bettie Page (Citadel, $14.95), Richard Foster presents plenty of testimony to Page's allure. His sources agree: In addition to a leggy, curvaceous bod, she had an irresistible way of making sex look fun, never dirty. Harlan Ellison confesses in the introduction, "I cannot to this day see a photo of Bettie Page without getting an erection." ... Men had more ambivalent feelings about mountain climber Arlene Blum. It wasn't her fault; she just couldn't help proving them wrong. First they told her that women couldn't climb on equal terms with men. She did it anyway. Then they told her that women couldn't climb Mount McKinley. In 1970, she led the first female expedition to the top. In between, they told her MIT would never grant a woman a Ph.D in physical chemistry. They had her there: She got it from Berkeley instead. Among her other achievements, Blum's wonderfully unpretentious autobiography, Breaking Trail (Scribner, $27.50), chronicles ascents of Annapurna, Everest, and several previously unclimbed peaks. Not bad, for an impossible career. ... If only Medgar Evers' story had turned out as happily. In some better universe, the Mississippi field secretary for the NAACP lived to write his memoirs in peace. In this one, on June 12, 1963, a racist killer put a bullet into him. Editors Manning Marable and Evers' widow, Myrlie Evers-Williams, have assembled The Autobiography of Medgar Evers (Basic Civitas, $26) from letters, memos, speeches, and articles that bring to life his determined struggle against Jim Crow. Poll taxes, lynchings -- did all this happen in America? Yes, it did, not a half-century ago. A foreign country, indeed. -- Chris Ulbrich
Don We Now Our Gay Apparel
Pick a sure thing with Alan Hollinghurst's novel The Line of Beauty (Bloomsbury, $14.95) -- it won the 2004 Booker Prize and it's a best-seller -- in which class, gender, and cash are the context for explicit scenery, e.g. "his middle finger pushed into the deep divide, as smooth as a boy's, his fingertip even pressed a little way into the dry pucker so that Leo let out a happy grunt." ... It's never too early to get the picture, perhaps with a new coloring book created by Jacinta Bunnell and Irit Reinheimer, Girls Will Be Boys Will Be Girls Will Be ... (Soft Skull, $9.95), whose captions include "Sometimes the princess is saved by the girl next door" and "Stanley spends Super Bowl Sunday sewing slacks." ... Jenni Olson's The Queer Movie Poster Book (Chronicle, $19.95) is a lustrous compendium -- from Adam & Yves to Chained Girls and beyond. ... Daniel Gawthrop is a rice queen, and that doesn't mean he likes to cook Uncle Ben's. The Rice Queen Diaries (Arsenal Pulp, $16.95) is his memoir about the politics and pleasures of being a gay man attracted to Asians. Thai ladyboys, snake wine -- he goes around the world in more ways than one. -- A.R.

TH!NK post
Mr. Rabary Desiré established his own private conservation area in Madagascar and win a Prize
Published 26th October 2010 - 0 comments - 8986 views -
This is perhaps the most meaningful prize that an environmentalist in Madagascar have received since long time, although before humans arrived on the Island of Madagascar.
Madagascar, is best known for its spectacular nature and incredible variety of unique plant and animal life. This is resulted from tens of millions of years of isolation from the African mainland and from people, who didn't arrive until 2,000 years ago. Endemism is marked not only at the species level, but the islands have an astounding plant families, bird families, and primate families that live nowhere else on Earth.
It is also endemic and rare to hear a Malagasy receiving an environmental prize for his work in saving this environment. Yes, leaders are needed on this very difficult time in Madagascar. We need someone to follow, and someone who gives a good examples of what should be done in environment, politicts economics ...
Thankfully, each year, the Seacology Prize give an award to an indigenous islander for exceptional achievement in preserving the environment and culture of any of the world's 100,000 islands. The Prize highlights the heroic efforts by people who seldom receive any publicity – indigenous leaders who risk their own lives and well-being to protect their island's ecosystems and culture.
The Seacology Prize recipient this year is Mr. Rabary Desiré, a self-taught ecologist who has become an expert on Malagasy flora and fauna, especially the critically endangered Silky Sifaka lemur. He has also been active in investigations and condemnation of the illegal rosewood logging threatening the region's forests of Madagascar.
On an island of immense poverty and rapidly diminishing natural resources, Mr. Rabary is a leader in conservation. A highly sought-after research and ecotourism guide in northeastern Madagascar, Mr. Rabary has dedicated his life to preserving Madagascar's natural resources. Ecotourism guide are those villagers who have grown up near the forest, with no scientific training, but have a knowledge of the forest environment in the region.
Mr. Rabary has almost no possessions (other than books and a little clothing) and shares his small traditional two-room residence with five other family members. With the money he makes from guiding, he buys forested land in order to protect it. Years of work have finally culminated in the establishment of his own small private nature reserve, Antanetiambo ("on the high hill"), likely the only reserve in northern Madagascar that has been entirely created from start to finish by a single local resident. Located on a former coffee plantation, Antanetiambo Reserve is an inspiring example of successful reforestation in Madagascar, and today provides critical habitat for many of the island's endemic species. The reserve is visited by both local school students and tourists, and is an island of protected habitat in a sea of agricultural land, near the town of Andapa.
Here is a short video about Desiré and his reserve.
For his lifelong dedication to conserving Madagascar's biodiversity, Mr. Rabary Desiré is awarded the Seacology Prize 2010. It is a prize that makes us think about what a single person can do front of massive deforestation in Madagascar and the climate challenge… Mr Rabary has also spent most of his life time sharing his knowledge with scientists and tourists. Funny guy, during his acceptance speech, he shares the vocalizations of the silky sifaka lemurs.

Semantic Visualization
Semantic Visualization
Semantic Visualization project provides a comprehensive visualization and interactive search and analytics interfaces for exploiting Semantic Web capabilities for all levels of systems architecture. This includes (a) ontology development and usage (including filtering, search, personalization) for developing light-weight, personal and collaboratively developed ontologies, as well as highly expressive biological ontologies with support for visual modeling and display of object modeled (e.g., complex carbohydrate molecules), (b) graphical query formulation with support for specifying and interactively modifying context and ranking criteria for semantic (relationship-based) document search and complex semantic analytics, (c) 3D immersive visual display of semantic analytics showing "connections between the dots" with ability to explain, (d) tracking and associating activities, and (e) "inspecting the dots" which can be heterogeneous documents and multi-modal content (text-based documents in various formals and static or dynamically generated Web page, audio, video, image and other media content). Currently, three tools have been developed: OntoVista, SAV and SET.
Ontologies build the backbone for many life-sciences applications. These ontologies, however, are represented in XML-based languages that are meant for machine-consumption and hence are difficult for humans to comprehend. For a meaningful visualization of these ontologies, it is important that the display of entities and relationships captures the cognitive representation of the domain as perceived by the domain experts. OntoVista is an ontology visualization tool that is adaptable to the needs of different domains, especially in the life sciences. While keeping the graph structures as the predominant model, we provide a semantically enhanced graph display that gives users a more intuitive way of interpreting nodes and their relationships. Additionally, OntoVista provides comfortable interfaces for searching, semantic edge filtering and quick-browsing of ontologies. To this end, we extended the Jambalaya plugin for Protege to allow for customization and integration of different layouts.
Semantic Analytics Visualization
"Semantic Analytics Visualization" (SAV) is a 3D visualization tool for Semantic Analytics. It has the capability for visualizing ontologies and meta-data including annotated web documents, images, and digital media such as audio and video clips in a synthetic three-dimensional semi-immersive environment. More importantly, SAV supports visual semantic analytics, whereby an analyst can interactively investigate complex relationships between heterogeneous information. Use of a Virtual Reality technology allows it to provide a highly interactive interface. The backend of SAV supports query processing and semantic association discovery developed in the SemDis project. Using a virtual laser pointer, the user can select nodes in the scene and either play digital media, display images, or load annotated web documents. SAV can also display the ranking of web documents as well as the ranking of paths (sequences of links). SAV supports dynamic specification of sub-queries of a given graph and displays the results based on ranking information, which enables the users to find, analyze and comprehend the information presented quickly and accurately.
Semantic EventTracker
Semantic EventTracker (SET) is a highly interactive visualization tool for tracking and associating activities (events) of suspects in a Spatially Enriched Virtual Environment (SEVE). "Event" information is extracted from ontologies that enable a user to discover semantic associations between events using thematic and topological relations, including RDF graphs that represent metadata and ontological teams. For example, a suspect A traveled to city M in two days where he met another suspect B. After 3 days, they took a flight where another suspect C was also traveling and they all arrived at a nuclear facility in city N. Additionally, a week prior, suspect C had visited a bomb manufacturing facility in country X. A 2D map is generated using geospatial information which is applied as a texture on 3D objects. Temporal data is represented as a 3D multi-line in space that connects sequencing events. The slope of the line depends upon the time-distance between two events; time-distance indicates how far apart two events occurred in time, for example, this could depict how fast a suspect traveled from one place to another. A steep slop indicates greater time-distance. The line is semantically marked with 3D objects that can be selected by the user's virtual hand. Upon a marking's selection, SET displays in SEVE metadata information such as digital images, 3D models, web documents and it can also play audio and video clips. Multiple multi-lines can be visualized on the same map to help discover path crossings, meeting times, contacts of suspects, etc, of tracked suspects.
Paged Graph Visualization
Paged Graph Visualization (PGV) is a new user-centered, semi-autonomous visualization tool for RDF data exploration, validation and examination. PGV consists of two main components: the PGV visualizer, which is the front-end of PGV, and the BRAHMS data-store, which is our high performance main-memory RDF storage system. Unlike th e existing graph visualization techniques which attempt to display the entire graph, PGV has been designed for the incremental, semantics-driven exploration of very large RDF ontologies. A novel, Ferris-Wheel-like visualization technique is used to explore the so called hot spots in the graph, i.e. nodes with large numbers (hundreds) of immediate neighbors. In response to the user-controlled, semantics-driven direction of the exploration, the PGV visualizer obtains the necessary sub-graphs from BRAHMS and enables their incremental visualization without having to rearrange the previously laid out sub-graphs. PGV and BRAHMS communicate via the HTTP protocol and to provide the necessary on-line response times, BRAHMS is connected to the Web server via the Fast-CGI interface which eliminates the need of restarting the BRAHMS process at every request. Additionally, PGV has been enhanced with a speech recognizer and a speech synthesizer.

When you decide to have crowns done, especially if they involve your front teeth, you will want to be able to give your input regarding how the final crowns will look. One way to do this is with temporary dental crowns. When your teeth are prepared for crowns, the dentist will place temporary dental crowns for you to wear while the final crowns are being made.
There are some differences between temporary dental crowns and final crowns that you should be aware of. Temporary dental crowns are made of a different material, usually some sort of a plastic or acrylic. Since these materials are not as strong as your own teeth, you will have to be careful of what you eat. You should avoid hard foods such as nuts, and tough foods such as bagels or French bread.
Another difference is that temporary dental crowns are cemented on with a dental cement. The reason for this is that the cosmetic dentist will need to be able to remove the temporary dental crowns when it is time to cement the permanent ones. Since the cement is not as strong, sticky foods may cause them to come loose.
If your temporary dental crowns come off or are loose, you should call your dentist so that they can be re-cemented. It is important not to wait, as the tooth may be sensitive, it may move, or, if a long enough period of time passes, the tooth may get decay. As far as home care, your temporary dental crowns should be cleaned with a toothbrush, just like your own teeth. When flossing, though, it is important to floss towards the gums and then slide the floss out by one end rather than lifting it back up through the teeth. This will help ensure that your temporary dental crowns do not come off while flossing.
By Greggory Kinzer, DDS, MSD
In restorative dentistry a dental crown, or caps for teeth, look and function just like natural teeth. Your cosmetic dentist may recommend a dental crown if your tooth has enough decay that it cannot hold a filling, or if your tooth is cracked or broken and in danger of cracking down into the root if left unattended. A dental crown covers your tooth completely. It fits snugly at the gum and protects what remains of the natural tooth.
The dental crown serves two important functions. First, it restores the appearance of your teeth and your face. If your tooth is severely decayed or cracked, your cosmetic dentist will need to restore it prior to preparing a cap. Teeth also support the muscles in our faces, so anything less than a full tooth may affect the way you smile.
Second, a dental crown will be the same size and shape as the natural tooth. As a result, it will keep your jaw and bite aligned; it will also make sure that other teeth don't shift locations or take on a greater share of the work of biting and chewing.
A dental crown is most often made of gold or porcelain. A dental crown also can be made of stainless steel, but those are often temporary and not designed for long-term wear.
A porcelain dental crown is usually built on a metal base, which fits snugly over the natural tooth. Your dentist will choose a porcelain that matches the color of your natural teeth. A porcelain dental crown is usually so carefully matched in color, it cannot be distinguished from your natural teeth. Many people choose porcelain dental crowns for the cosmetic appearance and the confidence it give them.
New materials are now available in cosmetic dentistry that allow your cosmetic dentist to use an "all-ceramic" dental crown in some cases. They have a beautiful life-like appearance and short-term studies support their success, with long-term trials ongoing.
A dental crown can be made of all gold. Some people prefer not to use a gold crown because it stands out from the other teeth in appearance. At the same time, if the gold crown is on a back molar, some people feel the cosmetic issue is not a big one. Your cosmetic dentist will discuss the types of materials available if a gold crown is recommended.
Once your dental crown is in place, make sure the area is brushed well and that you floss below the gum line. While the dental crown protects your remaining tooth from further decay, you must protect the base of the dental crown from bacterial growth and gum disease. Regular brushing and flossing as you would your natural teeth will ensure that your crown will be in place for years to come!
Your Gold Crown is not just royal jewelry for your mouth!
