Foreign Light Toddla T ft. Andrea Martin & Coco
21 October 2013, 09:05
After teasing the video last month, Azealia Banks has unveiled the clip for 'ATM Jam'. The colourful video, which was directed by Rony Alwin, sees Azealia performing the track in a world where the trees glow pink and fire shoots out from all directions.
'ATM Jam' is the latest song to be taken from the rapper's much-anticipated new album 'Broke With Expensive Taste', which is set to be released next year.

This stunning, glass walled, 5000 SF single story mid century modern home on 2.5 sprawling and secluded acres, built in 1956 and updated for all modern conveniences, was Frederick Loewe's "Little Camelot". It is a private, self contained special event venue, featuring four hotel style bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (plus powder room), a private tennis court, grotto style spa, pool, waterfall, fountains, sculptures, original art and an authentic Palm Springs feel to the decor.
Nestled on a boulder strewn hillside, the Estate offers unparalleled, jaw dropping, 360 degree views of Palm Springs, the San Jacinto Mountains, Coachella Valley below and extensively landscaped grounds and paths; truly the quintessential Palm Springs estate. The view extends for miles across the valley and mountains.Throughout the day, from the early hours of the morning as the sun rises over the valley until the sun sets and the city lights sparkle alive, this Estate transports you to your own private resort setting.
The extensively landscaped grounds also features a variety of entertaining options with expansive main lawn and 'the point'; lower lawn with sculpture water feature; a lowered grass and water feature space; and two-tiered wood deck with unsurpassed views; and the upper lawn area and tennis court. The estate is often referred to as "magical". It is the perfect setting for a wedding, corporate event, photo shoots, and other special events. The residence is furnished with many period pieces and extensive art and memorabilia throughout the house and grounds.
The exquisite master suite is extremely spacious at over 700 square feet -- the perfect setting for a Bridal Suite. Luxurious and comfortable, it features two massive sliding glass doors which integrate the indoors to the outdoors and open to the outdoor swimming pool/patio area. Large en-suite bathroom has marble topped double vanity, tub and shower with 10 shower heads. Most of the details in this lovely room are original.
The casita bedroom, queen bedroom and living room also feature massive sliding glass doors offering unobstructed views of the landscaped grounds, mountain and surrounding cities. The dining room seats 14 and features dramatic glass walls and a crystal clear view of the mountains, waterfall and polished marble sculpture. The living room includes a baby grand piano and ample seating for a casual gathering. Across the room is a wooden bar that is original to the Estate.

The Frederick Loewe Estate is a home like none I've ever seen before. And I've seen a lot of homes. The photos here are beautiful, but they don't even come close to showing what a magnificent property it is. Sprawling manicured grounds, thoughtful design and good old-fashioned luxury. We had 10 guests for a 40th birthday with another 15 staying nearby. When we all got together at the house there was still room for literally hundreds more. Spending a weekend at the Frederick Loewe Estate is a truly unique and wonderful experience. Tell your friends. Actually don't. I'd rather keep this our little secret.
Just returned from an amazing weekend at this incredible place. Everything about the house and property is amazing!
The bedrooms are comfortable and have everything you need. They are sort of like hotel rooms with a TV, DVD player, bathroom, individual heating and air conditioning and comfortable new beds with cozy bedding. I am very picky about where I sleep and I was very comfortable in all respects. Most of the bedrooms have floor to ceiling windows, so you can wake up to a view of the mountains. The house is set up perfectly for hanging out and entertaining, with a large modern kitchen, BBQ, family room with flat screen TV and living room with plenty of seating and a built-in bar and a huge dining room table for 16. Many of the rooms have fire places, although we did not use them because it was warm.
Even better than the house itself, are the grounds and views!! The property goes on and on and the landscaping is to die for. There are so many different views, depending on where you are on the property. There is a tennis court, pool, Jacuzzi, 2 golf holes, a rose garden, fountains and multiple sitting areas. There is a big outside fire pit with boulders to sit on and we had a roaring fire at night. Everyone hung out and enjoyed the views of the stars and city lights below. Just being there felt so good and relaxed.
Make sure to get up before the sun starts to rise. The orange sky over the mountains is amazing. Even though we were there for the film festival, it was really hard to leave to go out. In fact, if I am lucky enough to go back, I may never leave the property. I felt good from the moment I walked in to the moment I had to leave – it was like I was in another place and it was a special one. The photos don't do it justice and I can't do it justice in words – you have to be there.
Just got back from a stay at this wonderful property. Had a girls weekend with my sisters, nieces and friends. I hadn't been to Palm Springs in a number of years. I thought Palm Springs was a boring place and never intended to return. I have done a 360 in terms of my view of Palm Springs. I love Palm Springs now. I had a fantastic time both hanging at the property and going out in town. I loved getting up in the morning, getting a cup of coffee and sitting on the deck watching the sun rise over the mountains. It put me in a good mood for the whole day. After a while, I would either take a jacuzzi or go hiking. There is a great hike just out the back door.
My favorite room in the house is the master bedroom. It is awesome waking up in the morning seeing the sunrise over the mountains. Master bathroom is huge with a eight head shower.
We had a great time cooking in the large kitchen, eating at the large dining room table with wonderful views, partying in the huge living room with built in bar, enjoying the warmth from the outside fire pit in the cool night's air. It was wonderful being in our own world with no neighbors to intrude on our fantastic holiday.
This rental is not for those looking to save a buck. It is high end rental for those who want to spoil themselves. It is an ideal place to invite guests to hang out. There is a small hotel a couple blocks away to lodge the overflow.

Privacy has proven difficult to come by in the world of cryptocurrency. Many people mistakenly believe Bitcoin and Ethereum offer privacy, while they only provide pseudonymity. But other alternative cryptocurrencies can provide privacy-centric features to its users. PIVx, formerly known as Darknet, is a currency that borrows some traits from DASH. Its set of features makes it quite appealing to cryptocurrency enthusiasts who are looking for a more privacy-centric experience.
PIVx Wants To Make A Big Impact
Given the vast majority of cryptocurrencies already in existence, the PIVx developers have their work cut out for them. Making this altcoin stand out from other privacy-oriented currencies will not be an easy task. Rebranding from Darknet to PIVx is one step in the right direction, though, as the Darknet name has a negative ring to it.
Under the hood, PIVx will provide its users with swift transactions. The developers have been focusing on this aspect to facilitate future point-of-sale integration. Locked-in payments are completed within one second, yet are safe from double-spend attacks. Other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are still susceptible to double-spend attacks to this very day.
PIVx also combines the best of the Quark algorithm with features found in the current version of Bitcoin Core. But it also improves on both technologies, by providing instantly locked, private, and fungible digital currency ecosystem. Plus, all of the source code can be found on GitHub.
Taking a page out of DASH's book, the PIVx network relies on Masternodes. Every Masternode owner will provide critical services to the rest of the network. Similarly to DASH, PIVx Masternode owners are only eligible to run this service if they lock 10,000 coins in a wallet. At the time of publication, setting up such a Masternode equals to 0.07 Bitcoin worth of coins, or US$76. A minor investment to provide optimal network availability to the rest of the community.
PIVx users running a Masternode will also be involved in the governance model of this cryptocurrency. A Budget System has been set up, and every Masternode represents one vote. This creates a distributed governance model for PIVx, incentivizing users to provide services to the network while giving them an opportunity to determine the future direction of the ecosystem.
As one would expect, Masternode owners are rewarded for their support. This compensation mechanism is based on a SeeSaw. To be more precise, the rewards are equal for people providing a Masternode, as well as those who stake coins in their PIVx wallet. The current plan is to have one-third of all coins in circulation held in Masternodes, and another one-third is kept for staking purposes. All of the remaining coins will flow freely across all exchanges that support PIVx trading.
Coins are eligible for staking rewards once their input is older than one hour, and has received 101 confirmations or more. Unlike most other cryptocurrencies, there is no time-based staking input. Additionally, it's impossible to stake coins without having the wallet open and connected to the network.
Last but not least, PIVx will offer private transactions. The technology is based on CoinJoin but modified in such a way it starts mixing ahead of the transaction. As a result, fungibility is offered to all users, one of the main features currently lacking in Bitcoin. More importantly, the history of every PIVx transaction is erased before it is sent during this process, which removes the problem of dealing with tainted funds.

Despite the Supreme Court's recent Teva v. Sandoz decision that factual findings by a district court during claim construction are entitled to deference, a three-member panel of the Federal Circuit reversed the district court's claim construction and vacated the judgment of infringement against Applera Corp. (Applera) upon finding that the district court erred in its claim construction. Plaintiff Enzo Biochem Corp. (Enzo) filed a complaint in the District of Connecticut alleging that Applera infringed its patent directed to nucleotide probes. The court conducted a claim construction hearing, and subsequently, a jury found that Applera infringed the claims of the asserted patent. Applera filed an appeal asserting that the district court erred in its claim construction.
The district court construed the disputed phrase to cover both direct detection (i.e., chemical moiety "A" comprises the entirety of the signaling moiety) and indirect detection (i.e., "A" is a component of the signaling moiety). First, the Federal Circuit found that this construction was inconsistent with the plain language of the claims because it impermissibly broadened the scope of the claim to include a single-component signaling moiety (i.e., direct detection), and read out a claim requirement that "A" does not interfere with formation of the signaling moiety. Moreover, the specification provided additional support that the claim was limited to indirect detection. Therefore, the Federal Circuit concluded that the district court erred by construing the patent claim to cover both direct and indirect detection and remanded to the district court to determine infringement in light of the new construction. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Newman disagrees with the majority's construction and asserts that the majority failed to show error of fact or law in the district court's findings and conclusions.

September is the month of opportunity for anglers and hunters here in Southeast Texas. It's got a little bit of everything to offer. On the hunting menu, we've got doves, teal, gators and as of Oct. 3, bow hunting for deer comes. On the fishing menu, we've got bass, crappie and catfish on Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend. Along the coast, trout, reds and flounder are never easier to catch than what you'll find during September and into October.
Don't pack away that shovel and trowel. Fall is a great time to plant a few new additions in the landscape. Here are just a few ideas for adding immediate and long-term beauty to your garden.
Amazon, the online marketing powerhouse best known for its general merchandise, groceries, digital books and streaming media, has now entered a somewhat new market. While Amazon has had an online app store since 2008, with hundreds of thousands of paid and free Android apps, Amazon recently announced a new Android app and a feature on its website offering a wide selection of normally paid apps for free.
For 2015, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT adds a new Red Vapor special edition package, along with new horsepower and torque numbers.
With a starting MSRP of $64,895, the Grand Cherokee SRT is powered by a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 with 475 horsepower and 470 foot-pounds of torque that is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Stylish SRT
For 2015, Volkswagen brings fresh aesthetics and additional features to its premium SUV, the Touareg.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield part ways for good
Los Angeles: Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield were earlier this month reported to have taken a break from their three-year relationship but insiders say the actress has called time on their romance for good.
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield
"(Emma) ended things and moved back to LA. It's finished. It's not just a break," a source told usmagazine.com.
One reason for the couple's split is said to be the 31-year-old actor's dedication to his role as a 17th century Jesuit in "Silence", for which he has lost 40 lbs (around 18 kg) and began shooting in Taiwan in January.
Another source said: "He'd been in a dark place for months, getting into his role. He wasn't being the best partner."
While the 26-year-old actress is said to be understanding about Garfield's "work anxieties", it was previously revealed that the pair's dedication to their respective careers was partly responsible for the problems in their relationship.
A source said previously: "Emma understands his work anxieties, it's why she originally pulled out of 'Cabaret' last year and only did it this year, but they're taking a break from seeing each other.
"They're both slave to their schedules. This time last year they were privately discussing marriage."

Far from providing clarity, the digital age has made sorting good investments from bad ones an even more complex process. So how do you recognise a good opportunity when you see one?
Blogger: Julie Cumming, director, Hatch Property
There is so much 'noise' in this space electronically now, that it is often overwhelming and difficult to get clarity on what may in fact be a good investment.
So how will you know what is a good opportunity from all the noise and rubble?
Well, it's back to basics.
Always look at the location and size of the development, relative to its location. There is plenty of information available, warning of the oversupply of units in most CBD areas around Australia. A unit block of 90 apartments or more may seem appropriate in a central CBD location, yet not as appropriate in a suburban area. A small boutique development can be a block of 35 apartments close to the city, yet in the suburbs 10 or less is more likely considered to be boutique. I suggest you stay away from the repetitive inner-city product and start looking from the city fringe outwards.
Once you have identified a development that is well located, consider closely the individual dwellings being offered.
• How big are they?
• Do they have some quality outdoor areas?
• What is the layout like? Consider the aspect and the effects of weather.
• What size are the individual rooms? Are the bedrooms a reasonable size?
• Is there ample storage?
• Has privacy been considered?
• Is the parking adequate for residents and visitors?
• What developments are nearby, and how will this affect street parking?
• Is there public transport within a short walk?
If you have ever rented, you will know that generally you tend to compromise on features within your home. However, the best outcome for an investor is to buy a property that is aimed at the owner-occupier market. When you go to sell, you don't only want a number-crunching investor like you looking! An owner-occupier will tend to be far more interested in the features required to meet their needs.
Ask the agent what the mix of investors and owners is. Ask them if they have to get pre sales to get started and, if so, if they are marketing to overseas investors. All this information helps you understand the likely tenancy mix at completion that will affect values, tenant appeal and response. If there are lots of investors, you may have to drop your initial asking rent to tenant the property quickly.
On the other hand, if the development is predominantly owners, then you have the upper hand. Check the rental appraisal indicated in the sales information with independent local agents and have a look to see how many similar dwellings are being marketed to rent in the area at the current time.
Then you need to select which dwelling has the edge over the others. Look at the aspect, the location within the building, the views, the layout, and the relative pricing.
There is a lot to consider and many people find investing, particularly in an interstate market, difficult and daunting as they have to navigate a great deal of unknown territory. Seek experienced, quality advice if you are unsure. A lot of money is at stake, and while there are many excellent opportunities out there, there are also plenty to stay away from. Choose wisely!

Do you ever look at a photo you edited weeks, days or even hours earlier and wonder, "now what did I do on that photo?" If you want to replicate a look you've created but cannot remember the actions you played or the opacities you chose, it can be hard to keep a consistent feel to your photos. I used to have slips of paper littering my desk with file names and handwritten notes about what actions I played for a certain look. It was either that or leave the photos unflattened, which means HUGE file sizes. But there's a much better and simpler way to recall your editing steps.
Here's what I do now.
With the file opened in Photoshop, go to FILE >> FILE INFO. Then in the description field, type in the editing steps or list of actions played. This description also transfers to the caption portion in the Library module of your Lightroom catalogue, so you can view it quickly without having to open each photo file in Photoshop. Easy, clean and green.
Something to keep in mind.
Did you know that you can pull images off the internet and look at the file metadata in the same places that I just listed above for inputting the file metadata? If you want to keep your editing steps to yourself, make sure you save your final images with limited metadata included. Here's a shot of the export dialog box in Lightroom. Be sure to select Copyright Only in the Metadata section. Your files will be saved for web or print without that top secret info.

Interest in the property market appears to be rekindling with mortgage sales inching up in March, according to broking group Australian Finance Group (AFG).
Mortgage sales recovered in March from the lows recorded earlier this year to $2.513 billion, the group said, a 22 per cent increase compared to February.
Year on year however, home financing activity remains down, with the March figure 8.9 per cent below the $2.760 million recorded by AFG in March 2010.
New South Wales managed to defy the national trend, recording exactly the same figure for mortgage sales in March 2011 as March 2010.
New South Wales also showed the highest level of investor activity with 40.2 per cent of all loans processed during the month taken out by investors.
These latest figures indicate that buyer confidence is gradually returning, according to Mark Hewitt, AFG general manager of sales and operations.
"After two months of extraordinarily subdued mortgage markets, we're now seeing slight return of buyer confidence."

Freedom in the Netherlands.
Sagunto, from the Netherlands, posted this in a comment:
our very own "march for freedom & solidarity with Denmark" (Amsterdam feb. 25th), is under attack from so-called "anti-fascist-activists" who are launching their own counter-contribution to free expression. In the past the mere announcement of a counter-demo by these fanatics gave the authorities a perfect x-cuse to ban all demonstrations. Hope it'll not come to that this time.
All the best & good luck to you Voltaire, from Holland with kindest of regards !!!
Best of luck to you too, Sag. We'd like to express our solidarity with and respect for you and your march. If recent events can bring together people all across the world in support of freedom, it will be a fine thing. I've seen comments from Poles saying this reminds them of the heady days of the Solidarity movement. I hope we can emulate them, and bring about real change.

Many engineers, including me, think that some time around 2050, we will be able to make very high quality links between the brains and machines. To such an extent that it will thereafter be possible (albeit expensive for some years) to arrange that most of your mind – your thinking, memories, even sensations and emotions, could reside mainly in the machine world. Some (perhaps some memories that are rarely remembered for example) may not be suited to such external accessibility, but the majority should be.
This is a pretty good article. I especially appreciate how it gets out of some of the mental traps that other authors fall into, especially the one that says that any additional bodies must be controlled by uploaded copies. THANK YOU!! I also think the question is interesting for a number of reasons. I have my own very specific ideas. I want a bio-nano organic body. I would put 95% of the development effort into cellular and physiological issues. This effort is required so that the body is entirely self-maintaining and can be operated in a civilization collapse scenario for centuries. Beyond that, I'm probably in the sexy school of thought. I don't think I'll need multiple bodies, at least at first. In the longer term, I might have a fanciful, immobile home body and a few highly efficient robotic bodies for practical tasks (only when necessary). I have a few conflicting ideas as to how to develop that home body but that's a bit beyond where I want to go in this reply here.
My biggest fear is that the uploaders will take over and turn everything into computronium where re-designing your body becomes impossible. =(
With so many options people are bound to get overwhelmed. I wonder how tall people can make these bodies. Oh, and do you think it will be possible to make bodies that just shape shift so you don't have to buy multiple ones?
In reply to the post title, "Nonhumanoid".
I think I'd like to spend a while in an art body.
"I don't think it will be ethically acceptable to grow cloned bodies in some sort of farm and remove their brains"
Why not grow the body without the brain to begin with? We will soon be doing this with our foodstuffs to get around the various ethical issues of carnivory. Won't be long until we do so with human bodies and other exotic synthetic creatures.
"Do we really want to allow adults people to assume the bodies of children, with all the obvious paedophilic dangers that would bring?"
When the technology is at such stage where any mind can inhabit any physical form, banning the appearance of child-like traits is unworkable and useless. Concomitant with the physical world would have to be an informational cryptographic mirrorworld for purposes of authentication, rising as we speak. Banning certain conduct with child info signatures would make more sense than occupying childlike forms. Likewise with police and other restricted identities.
To me this is such an engineering point of view. Concepts like authenticity and love are being trampled by machine fetishism. This is all highly inspirational but also frightening as hell. Why not approach futurism from a more natural standpoint? To quote Prince Charles (of all people):
'If we do not work within nature's system, nature will fail to be the durable, continuously sustaining force she has always been. We have to put nature back at the heart of the equation.'
Two comments. One, I really like the pic of the black android body, especially how the legs look with the digitigrade position. Where did you get it? Two, would an option for merging human and machine be to incorporate the enhancement technology into one's biological systems? For example, say you have nanobots add artificial neurons to the brain and carbon nanofibers into muscles rather than just replacing them then have the nanobots remain as a secondary immune system (and maybe oxygen carrier). That way people won't be too worried about their self sense the original substrate is still there (just added to). Latter on, if they want to, they could fully replace the organic with inorganic parts. For me personally, If I ever decide to do anything, I find it more desirable to retain the best qualities of organisms (food & drink, sex & reproduction, making independent complex decisions, etc) with the best qualities of machines (better memory & information storage, faster calculative processing, greater strength and speed, more invulnerability, etc). Tell me what you guys think.
I've always thought that the generation that grew up on gaming would have the easiest transition to form freedom, since we've already experienced, at a degree of remove, any number of different forms, from hominoid to animal to vehicle to things that don't exist. In fact, the process of adapting to new forms or abilities will likely be training in the form of a game.

For Christmas, our family goes by a four gift rule from Santa.
The best and most anticipated gift of our Christmas is always the "DO" gift. It has involved everything from tickets to a show or exhibit to an overnight in town to a full on trip. This year they will get their very first ski trip … mine too! Our dear friends have offered up a place to stay AND are helping us get there so it's kind of like a dream come true.
In addition to Santa gifts, we also give them something from us, a stocking and a Christmas ornament for their trees. So, all in all, our Christmas is pretty simple.
I created a Letter to Santa to use last year and they will be filling it out in the next few days before we visit Santa. You can find the instant download in the Dixie Delights Shop! There is also a page included that doesn't have the "4 gift" list, but just blank spaces. The date on the envelope has been updated but it also comes with an undated version.
A few people have asked for this, and I finally have them available… sets of stickers to go on the 4 gifts! You can choose either "do" or "wear" in your set, as I know it is common to do the "wear" gift.
This year I have a few new Santa tags and stickers in the shop as well.
Before I go, I wanted to reshare our 3 favorite toys. These have all had MUCH longevity in our household and still get used years later.
Tomorrow is John's birthday and we will be giving him this gorgeous watch as his "forever gift". I'm sharing again because JORD is discounting all of their watches in a Black Friday sale so now is a great chance to get one if you've been thinking about it!
With that, let the holiday shopping begin!!!!!!!!!

text: I feel like this has happened to me several times, and I never see anyone else mention it. Once in a long while, I will remove all strings for a thorough cleanup. When I get it all done, and get strings back on, the Bigsby arm seems to be sitting higher (further from the strings). I don't think I'm crazy (based solely on this) because when I swing the arm back to put the guitar in its case, the arm touches where it did not before. The spring appears to be properly in place. Is there some trick I'm missing??

Nestle India has been one of those steady performers in the long run. However, the long-term investor needs to take note of a potential diagonal triangle in the fifth wave position. As explained in my book Five waves to Financial Freedom, a diagonal triangle at the fifth wave is a powerful signal. Now you should be aware that we are still in the process of making this formation, or in other words, that formation is only in my head. If we do get the final 'e' wave in Nestle India, that will travel quite a distance, and the investor will have lots of time to figure out where to exit the stock. What we dont want to see now is a close below 4340. Will someone please remind me in a few months where Nestle India has been between now and then!
12 Comments
In your chart, your used a new mark "K" , what does it mean?
Dear Ramki, I would be pleased to remind you of the price of Nestle in about a month.
I would like to discuss the alternate count as follows:
Nestle has finished its 5th wave at 5024 and started its ABC correction from there.
Larger wave A might have finished at 4401.
Larger wave B is forming a contracting Triangle with internal waves a,b, c, d,e.
Int wave a ended at 4750, b at 4421, c at 4640, d at 4419 and e is ongoing which will end at approximately 4605-4625.
Larger wave C will then correct down.
Pl correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks and Regards.
(i) ka = kb
what is the significance ? What inferences can we draw from the given fact ?
(ii) Closing below 4340.
It kind of a confirms the ongoing formation of diagonal triangle.
If it does not happens so then recount b-c as 1-2-3 –
Am I right sir in my understanding
(iii)If it does not happens so then recount b-c as 1-2-3 – start of a new impulsive wave.
Dear Ramki, I read your analysis of Elliot Wave Chart with great interest. Could you please do an Elliot Wave analysis for Australian market ASX200, code XJO. Thanks, Teresa
Hi Ramki Sir
i am following the price of Nestle and RCOM. just to inform you, Nestle has closed at 4370 which is very close to your level of 4340. shall certainly tell you if it slides below your level.
thanks and regards
Hello Ramki Sir
certainly intimate you RCOM at 44
thanks, with kind regards
though i dont like elliot wave analysis as its too vague a concept, i found your analysis worth reading. ur honest in ur approach unlike others. i admire u for that & i am proud 2b an indian.
but nestle is not in F&O, so even if it falls, its of no use till it reaches its bottom from where we can pick it up. so how this analysis will help us?

Topics You Need To Understand For This Page
Definite integrals are usually introduced early in the study of integration after covering the basics and integration by substitution. However, some practice problems on this page require the use of integration by parts, which is a more advanced technique usually introduced in second semester calculus. If you haven't studied integration by parts yet, no worries. You can filter out those practice problems and come back later, once you have covered integration by parts.

Definite Integrals
Since the definite integral is so closely tied to summations, we start with a discussion of summations and the associated notation. Then we cover the fundamental theorems of calculus.
Summation Notation
The first thing you need to be comfortable with in order to understand definite integrals is summation notation. This notation is just a compact way to write a list of numbers or terms that are added together. The notation looks like this.
\(\displaystyle{ \sum_{i=1}^{n}{a_n} }\)
If you haven't seen this before or you need a refresher on what all this means, here is a good video explaining it. This is a good overview of summation notation. In this video, he starts by explaining the general notation and then he works several examples.
PatrickJMT - Summation Notation
Summation and the Definite Integral
The general sum \(\displaystyle{ \sum_{i=1}^{n}{[f(x_i) \cdot \Delta x_i]} }\) is an approximation to the area under the curve \(f(x)\). Let's look more closely at this sum and get an idea of what is going on.
For each \(i\), we calculate the area of a rectangle on the interval \([a,b]\). The height of the rectangle is \(f(x_i)\) and the width is \(\Delta x_i\). If the same area is broken into more and more rectangles, we can get a better and better approximation of the area.
To get the actual area, we can take the limit of the above sum as follows.
\(\displaystyle{ \lim_{n \to \infty}{ \left[ \sum_{i=1}^{n}{(f(x_i) \cdot \Delta x_i)} \right] } = \int_{a}^{b}{f(x)~dx} }\)
Let's break down the equation. When taking the limit we get
\(\Delta x_i ~~~ \to ~~~ dx \)
\(\displaystyle{ \lim_{n \to \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{} ~~~ \to ~~~ \int_{a}^{b}{} }\)
The idea is that the width of each interval goes to \(dx\). The limit of the sum goes to \(\int_{a}^{b}{}\). You can think of the integrand, \(f(x)\), being swept from \(a\) to \(b\).
Okay, time for a video. Here is a good video on the definition of the definite integral. It will give you an intuitive understanding what it means and how the notation works.
PatrickJMT - The Definite Integral - Understanding the Definition
Before we actually evaluate the Reimann sum with limits, let's see how to approximate the value of a definite integral. This is a great video with explanation of an example.
PatrickJMT - Approximating a Definite Integral Using Rectangles
From the first video in this section, you know that the limit given above is the definition of the definite integral using Reimann Sums. Here is an example showing how to calculate a definite integral using this definition. The example is worked in two consecutive videos.
PatrickJMT - Calculating a Definite Integral Using Riemann Sums
Before we go on, let's work some practice to make sure we understand these ideas.
Practice 1
Practice 2
Use summation notation to rewrite the finite sum \(\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{32} + \frac{1}{64} }\)
Practice 3
Practice 4
\(\displaystyle{\sum_{i=1}^{4}{(-1)^i i^2}}\)
The (First) Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus allows us to integrate a function between two points by finding the indefinite integral and evaluating it at the endpoints. The equation is
\(\displaystyle{\int_{a}^{b}{f(x)~dx} = \left. F(x) \right|_{a}^{b} = F(b) - F(a)}\) where \(F' = f\).
Okay, let's take a few minutes and watch a couple of videos explaining the proof of this theorem.
MIP4U - Proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Before we go on, let's work some basic integrals using this theorem.
Practice 5
The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
For a continuous function \(f\) on an open interval \(I\) containing the point \( a\),
The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus shows that integration can be reversed by differentiation. There are several key things to notice in this integral.
- The integral has a variable as an upper limit rather than a constant.
- The variable is an upper limit (not a lower limit) and the lower limit is still a constant.
- The upper limit, \(x\), matches exactly the derivative variable, i.e. \(dx\).
The theorem itself is simple and seems easy to apply. But you need to be careful how you use it. If one of the above keys is violated, you need to make some adjustments. Here are some variations that you may encounter.
If the variable is in the lower limit instead of the upper limit, the change is easy. Just use this result.
\( \displaystyle{ \int_{a}^{b}{f(t)dt} = -\int_{b}^{a}{f(t)dt} }\)
If the upper limit does not match the derivative variable exactly, use the chain rule as follows.
Given \(\displaystyle{\frac{d}{dx} \left[ \int_{a}^{g(x)}{f(t)dt} \right]}\)
Letting \( u = g(x) \), the integral becomes \(\displaystyle{\frac{d}{du} \left[ \int_{a}^{u}{f(t)dt} \right] \frac{du}{dx}}\)
Finally, another situation that may arise is when the lower limit is not a constant. One way to handle this is to break the integral into two integrals and use a constant \(a\) in the two integrals, For example,
\(\displaystyle{\int_{g(x)}^{h(x)}{f(t)dt} = \int_{g(x)}^{a}{f(t)dt} + \int_{a}^{h(x)}{f(t)dt}}\)
Then evaluate each integral separately and combine the result.
Okay, so let's watch a video clip explaining this idea in more detail. Warning: Do not make this any harder than it appears. As this video explains, this is very easy and there is no trick involved as long as you follow the rules given above.
PatrickJMT - Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1
Even though this appears really easy, it is easy to get tripped up. So make sure you work these practice problems.
Basic Problems
Practice 6
For \(\displaystyle{g(x)=\int_{1}^{x}{(t^2-1)^{20}~dt}}\), find \(g'(x)\)
Practice 7
For \(\displaystyle{h(x)=\int_{x}^{2}{[\cos(t^2)+t]~dt}}\), find \(h'(x)\)
Intermediate Problems
Practice 8
For \(\displaystyle{g(x)=\int_{1}^{\sqrt{x}}{\frac{s^2}{s^2+1}~ds}}\), find \(g'(x)\)
Practice 9
For \(\displaystyle{g(x)=\int_{\tan(x)}^{x^2}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2+t^4}}~dt}}\), find \(g'(x)\)
U-Substitution and Definite Integrals
Note: This section requires understanding how to do integration by substitution.
When you have a definite integral, you need to do additional work to handle the limits of integration. Additionally, there is a mistake that many students make that could not only cause you to get an incorrect answer but also, if your instructor is paying attention, could cost you extra points. First, let's talk about the correct way to handle the limits of integration and then show you how NOT to do it.
There are basically two techniques, both of them correct but pay attention to what your instructor requires, since they may want you to use one of them and not the other. The first and best (in our opinion) way is to use the expression for u to change the limits of integration. Let's do an example to see how this works.
Evaluate \(\displaystyle{ \int_{-2}^{1}{ x \sqrt{x+2} ~dx } }\).
Notice in that example, we changed the limits of integration from what they were in terms of x to their values when the variable to integration is changed to u. The limits of integration are tied to the variable of integration. So we could write the integral as \(\displaystyle{ \int_{x=-2}^{x=1}{ x \sqrt{x+2} ~dx } }\)
Okay, so that is the first way and, in our opinion, the best way to handle definite integrals when we use integration by substitution. The other way is to drop the limits of integration, evaluate the integral, go back to x's in the integral and then substitute the original limits of integration. This next example, shows how to do that.
Evaluate the same integral as the last example, but do not change the limits of integration and use correct notation.
Notice in the solution to the last example, we dropped the limits of integration when we wrote the integral in terms of u. It would be incorrect to write \(\displaystyle{ \int_{-2}^{1}{ (u-2)\sqrt{u} ~du} }\) since the limits of integration are in terms of x but the integral is in terms of u. Now, theoretically it MIGHT be okay to write \(\displaystyle{ \int_{x=-2}^{x=1}{ (u-2)\sqrt{u} ~du } }\) but no one does that (but, of course, check with your instructor to see what they expect). So not only is the notation \(\displaystyle{ \int_{-2}^{1}{ (u-2)\sqrt{u} ~du } }\) incorrect, but after you have completed the integration it is extremely easy to forget to go back to x's in the integral before substituting the limits of integration.
As an instructor, I ALWAYS take off points for writing the integral this way. So be extra careful. We recommend that you always change the limits of integration like we did in the first example. Here is a video that explains very well when to change the limits of integration, why instructors are so picky about it and possible mistakes that could trip you up. We highly recommend this video.

text: This was on my homepage news..... 07/19/2005 14:17:41 EST Girl Sexually Assaulted at Fla. Theme Park ORLANDO, Fla. - A 12-year-old girl was sexually assaulted at a Universal Studios hotel by a man who followed her into an elevator, authorities said Tuesday. No immediate arrests were made. Sheriff's Sgt. Rich Mankewich said man followed the girl, who was alone and looking for her mother, from the parking lot into the Enclave Suites on Monday night. A room key is required to enter the hotel, but Mankewich said the man slipped in behind her. Once on the elevator, the attacker groped the girl over her shorts, investigators said. The girl told investigators she bit the man after he put his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming. She pushed the emergency button and ran out when the elevator stopped, Mankewich said. The girl was from Ukraine and had recently arrived in the United States with her family. Investigators said she had taken a self-defense course just two weeks ago, which police credited with helping her end the attack. Investigators distributed security camera photographs of the man leaving the elevator. There was no camera in the elevator itself. Copyright 2005 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

The Seventh Day
Today's Daily Bible Reading is from Genesis 2:1-3. On the seventh day, God had finished creating the heavens and earth, and all the other things He created. So, God took a break from His work and rested on the seventh day. He blessed the seventh day, and declared it to be holy, because it was a day of rest for Him, after the creation. God set an example for us letting us know that we need to work, but our body, mind, and spirit also needs rest.
Exodus 20:11 calls the seventh day the Sabbath day, "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."
In Exodus 31:16-17 God instructed Moses about the Sabbath, "Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." This is why the Jewish people observe the seventh day of the week as their, Sabbath, day of rest.
Christians on the other hand, observe Sunday as their day of worship and rest, because Jesus rose on the first day of the week, and the work was finished. John 19:30 tells us, "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
It was also, the first day of the week, when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the church in Acts 2. God created light on the first day of the week and Jesus is the "Light" of the world. Jesus says in John 8:12, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." The first day of the week is considered to be the Lord's Day.
In the Old Testament the people lived under the Law, but after Jesus' resurrection, as believers, we now live by grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Galatians 3:23-25 says, "But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."
Daily Bible Reading:
Genesis 2:1-3
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Things to think about:
- What day of the week do you take as your day of rest and worship?
- Why do the Jewish people observe the Sabbath on the seventh day?
- Why do Christians observe Sunday as the Lord's Day?
Prayer of the Day:
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we study this passage of Scripture we see Your example of work and rest. Help us to observe a day of rest and worship to You. You show us that You created our bodies to work, but we also need rest. Help us to treat our bodies as Your temple. Help us to serve You in a way that brings honor and glory to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Cocoa can be the new cranberry - according to this article there are some studies that have promising results for it's antioxidant flavanols. While I do believe that there is quite probably some health benefits this emerging claim needs to be approached with caution. Firstly the studies are all being done by major chocolate companies, especially Callebaut, one of the world's largest confectionery producers (formerly Belgian, now Swiss-owned). Any study done by a company that has a vested interest in it's end results needs to be examined more stringently in order to avoid any potential bias. Secondly, even if cocoa does have major health benefits that is for cocoa. The raw product. This does not cover chocolate products that are made from a cocoa base. Unfortunately I have visions of Cocoa Rice Krispies trumpeting major health claims on the front of the box if these studies are proven scientifically valid. So while I will be watching and reading further about this I am advocating that this news be taken cautiously and not as an excuse to add processed cocoa to the diet with abandon.
Potatoes may offer blood pressure benefit - the caveat here is that this refers to purple potatoes. My personal bias against this article is that it refers to potatoes simply as a vegetable. In my practice I have gotten into the habit of labeling types of vegetables so that people understand that not all vegetables are equal. Potatoes are a starchy vegetable, there are also crunchy vegetables and leafy vegetables, etc. Limiting starchy vegetables in our diet makes sense, if only to encourage people to eat a wider variety of vegetables. A little research reveals that purple laver (a type of seaweed) also has anti-hypertensive qualities, as did purple carrot juice. This all seems to suggest that anthocyanins, the substance responsible for that purplish-red pigment, may be responsible. Should the news media start to promote this and someone begins to manufacture anthocyanin-only pills I'd like to the be the first one to tell you to get your anthocyanins through your food.
Can fermented foods make you healthier - in a word, yes. We don't eat enough of these in our modern diet. We've gotten away from traditionally lacto-fermented foods. We think the saurkraut and pickles that we buy in the grocery store are good for us. Unfortunately they are not the types of foods that we need to be eating. Pickles especially are often laden with artificial colors (yup....read the label). And these foods are made using commercial vinegar, not a culture or a whey to ferment naturally. I agree that we need to eat more fermented foods in our diet; I would include kefir, kombucha, and kvass in this mixture for those who like those foods. Want to make your own fermented food at home? It's very easy...here's a great lacto-fermented saurkraut recipe with pictures.
Thirteen (plus) years of asparagus - I love asparagus. I planted some in my garden. This will only be it's second year so we need to harvest with caution (it takes three years for an asparagus garden to be fully functional - or so they tell me). But I continue to read asparagus recipes and drool for the day that I can plunder with abandon and eat our fill of the tasty stalks. Of course that's if there is any left. The little heads have started poking above ground and I've discovered that I made a vital error. When we have asparagus in our house we cut off the ends. Most of them go into the compost heap. A few we feed to the dogs, giggling as we watch them leap into the air to get these tasty-to-them tidbits and chomp down. Guess what? Turns out with their highly sensitive noses they've discovered that the tasty treats also grow in the backyard. Not only that, they're *much* yummier as young tender tops. ::sigh:: Now to figure out how to protect the asparagus garden from the dogs so that we have some to eat for ourselves.
Chocolate orange macaroons - I love macaroons, they're one of my favorite treats. I often don't take the time to make them though. But this recipe from Bauman College is enough to make me change my mind. The combination of orange and chocolate is one of my favorites. Add in that it's in the form of a macaroon cookie? I'm in.

I have recently setup a new website, titled "Bristows-of-Virginia", which includes variations in the spelling of the surname, e.g., Brister, Bristoe, Bristo, and Bristol.Many files have already been deposited there, containing a lot of information on these families and their descendants in other states, and more files will be added from time-to-time. If you would like to join the group at this website, please contact me at "firstname.lastname@example.com" and I will have an invitation sent to you.
