by Sarah Latimer, Survival Blog:
I'm continuing my journey to consider some of the basics (beyond meat, eggs, dairy, grains, fruits, and vegetables) that I will want in my pantry in the event of TEOTWAWKI. Sure, if it is a matter of life and death, we will take what we have and make the most of it. However, like many others who have contributed to the wealth of information on SurvivalBlog, I am pursuing the idea of thriving rather than just surviving, and I know that knowledge and tools are far more valuable in a long-term crisis situation than having a finite supply of end product stored.
In considering what basics we use on almost a daily basis, there are quite a few that we will need to either be able to eventually produce on our homestead, find acceptable substitute for, or establish a local/regional source where we can purchase or trade to obtain them.
Last week, I took a look at baking soda, which has so many uses in the kitchen, around the house, and for health care purposes also. This week, I will look at a product that is sometimes used as a companion to baking soda, at least for cleaning. Today, I'm writing about vinegar.
Like baking soda, vinegar is used in cooking, cleaning, and also for health care and hygiene purposes. It is a true basic. Fortunately for me, I know this product and have a little bit of experience producing it. I look forward to the opportunity to become more knowledgeable about its production in the future, as I hone my homesteading skills. To date, my experience has been limited to apple cider vinegar and plum vinegar. (We'll not mention the unintentional vinegars that I've produced with neglected juices.)
Interestingly, the word "vinegar" comes from the French words for "sour wine", but there are many vinegars made from sources other than wine. Vinegar is made when fresh, naturally sweet cider (whether grape, apple, grain, or another juice) is fermented into an alcoholic beverage called hard cider. Then, it is fermented once again to produce vinegar. According to The Vinegar Book by Emily Thacker, apple cider vinegar contains more than thirty important nutrients, a dozen minerals, over half a dozen vitamins and essential amino acids, and several enzymes. It also provides a large dose of pectin for a healthy heart. In her book, Emily Thacker also shares an easy vinegar pie crust recipe and many other recipes and ideas, as well as some of the health benefits of using vinegar.
Cooking with Vinegar
In cooking, I use a variety of vinegars, which include:
white vinegar– made primarily from corn,
balsamic vinegar– made from grape pressings into syrup that is turned into vinegar under stringent conditions,
red wine vinegar– made from wine,
raw apple cider vinegar– made from apples,
Japanese rice vinegar- made from rice, and
homemade fruit vinegars– made from various fruits.
Many in our immediate and extended family enjoy Italian and vinaigrette salad dressings, and vinegar is a key component of these. We also use vinegar in pickling (which is a good means of preserving that garden produce), in barbecue, in making bone broths (which are so healthy and tasty), and in many recipes.
If you've followed my posts for awhile, you probably have a sense of our family's fondness for homemade whole grain breads, as we have decided to adjust our diet to the fiber-rich diet we would need to follow in a TEOTWAWKI lifestyle now and enjoy the health (and taste) benefits of doing so. In fact, it is not uncommon to find young dandelion leaves and flowers as well as other "wild greens" in our spring salads along with our homemade breads and homegrown vegetables. As an accompaniment for our breads, we certainly enjoy our bread dips. One of our favorite dips contains balsamic vinegar. The basic recipe, which we adjust from time to time, based upon our spice and vegetable availability and preferences, is below:
Favorite Bread Dip Recipe
1/4 cup quality olive oil, divided
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp dried oregano, crushed
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
In small saute or non-stick skillet, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat; add freshly minced garlic and saute, stirring occasionally. When garlic begins to turn golden brown and slightly crispy, immediately remove from heat and pour into a small dipping dish.
To the dipping dish, add the remaining olive oil and other ingredients; stir gently and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes. (Dried, crushed sweet basil and/or finely diced fresh sweet red bell pepper or red onion may also be added, per your preferences; however, the addition of fresh ingredients, such as red bell pepper or onion require that it be served and utilized fairly promptly.)
Serve with fresh bread or bread sticks, or use as a spread on sandwiches or pizza.
Vinegar for Cleaning
Vinegar's acidic properties (especially the acetic acid) pass into cell membranes to kill bacteria. One report in 2004 found that a mixture of equal parts of vinegar and lemon juice was even effective in reducing salmonella, though in this study it required a prolonged treatment of more than 30 minutes for maximum effect.
I keep a jug of vinegar under my sink for general cleaning. I haven't found anything as good as vinegar for cleaning tea and coffee stains from pitchers, pots, mugs, and glasses, except possibly bleach, which I avoid pouring down our drains since we are on a septic system. Bleach kills vital septic organisms that keep our septic systems fluid and clearing properly. Protecting these organisms in a TEOTWAWKI situation will be more important than ever, as septic pumping services may not be available. Vinegar is septic friendly, and I don't mind using it or breathing it. It's cleaning benefits are further enhanced when the antibacterial properties and acid of vinegar are combined with the crystalline benefits of baking soda to produce a paste that scours mineral deposits.
A bit of vinegar poured onto cleaning sponges or cloths prevents odors and bacterial growth. I use vinegar water to wipe out my refrigerator and clean cutting boards.
It is also great in laundry to remove odors and to set colors dyed into fabrics. Anytime I buy a new bright or dark colored natural fiber clothing item or a piece of fabric, I first soak it in vinegar water and then launder it, for its first wash, in cold water to help set the dye and prevent future fading.
Vinegar for Health and Hygiene
Vinegar has been used for thousands of years as a medicine or antiseptic. As a weak acid, this home remedy delivers relief when you need it. In the year 400 B.C., Hippocrates– the father of medicine– used vinegar to treat his patients. So, this naturally occurring germ killer was one of the very first "modern" medicines.
Most of the remedies for health and hygiene point specifically to apple cider vinegar, and the raw, organic variety is the best. It is the "mother", the unclear portion, that is beneficial. Clear, distilled vinegars have far less health/medicinal benefit. Even within apple cider vinegars and vinegar tablets, the amount of acetic acid in them ranges considerably, from the reports I read.
I have used apple cider vinegar on our family's feet to manage odor and fungal infections and in arm pits and other sweaty areas for the same purpose. We have also used it as a gargle and to drink in warm water with honey for sore throats. It's been used to cool sunburns and assist in reducing borderline cholesterol.
Even WebMD, an online presence that "provides valuable health information, tools for managing your health, and support to those who seek information" published an article about apple cider vinegar that quoted Carol Johnston, PhD, who directs Arizona State University's nutrition program, as saying, "Apple cider vinegar's anti-glycemic effect is very well documented." The bulk of WebMD's article generally applauds the benefits of apple cider vinegar for diabetics as one means to help them control blood sugar. Their overview of apple cider vinegar, states:

... tiredness? I'm taking naps everyday at lunch
Depression - Klonopin question. I reduced from .5 to .25 in five weeks. Could this cause extreme?

- Topics
- klonopin, depression
Responses (1)
Hi Gd1, From my decades-long experience with klonopin, and the experience of several friends, a reduction of klonopin should not make you more sleepy; the reduction is more likely to make you LESS sleepy since klonopin is a sedative. (Of course some people have the opposite reaction, called paradoxical reaction, and in general no two bodies are the same.) Have there been any other changes in your medication or other substances? And also, when did the tiredness start? Let us know, although you may end up having to ask your doctor anyhow.
Actually I changed my cymbalta from night to day and felt an increase in energy!!
BUT as soon as I started reducing klonopin I started sweating all night and had to take a nap EVERY day. Sometimes I would feel back to normal. It's only been a little over a month but fatigue wears on a person. I'm starting to feel it will not go away

B7 - Falling (Zelda Cover)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
great song
i like the opening, even if you claim for it to be random fx. and as an idea for future songs, try the metroid series
Yeah, I did try and make the intro decently interesting. I decided if I was going to do it, it would be cool goddammit.
I always like the Metroid series, and the music is damn amazing. But I don't know, the Metroid series has been done to death. I need something more original. That's why I did this song. Because nobody know what the fuck a Zelda is.
B7 - Into The Unknown V2
Rated 5 / 5 stars
my life is complete
You, sir, have just reached god mode. Is it wrong to worship the ground you walk on?
This song is much more techno than the other stuff I've heard that you made, and it is still as kickass as your metal stuff. keep up the god-like music dude!
Bwaha! I think the cheat code for God Mode is 'iddqd' but it's been a while.
I'm glad you liked it though. It helps to know that people actually enjoy it when I write the music, and I love being able to actually see that people are enjoying it.
So thanks!

A mixed verdict
The countries of the European Union (EU) can definitely do better than maintaining prison sentences for press offences and attacking the right of journalists not to reveal their sources. Press freedom deteriorated in 2004 in most of the former Soviet Union countries, where censorship and crackdowns on dissident journalists continue.
Western European countries, often held up as models of democracy, respect press freedom but there are flaws in these journalistic havens of tranquillity.
Press freedom is sacrosanct in Scandinavia, where it is strongly protected and defended by law. The national constitution in Sweden allows a civil servant to give information to the media and confidentiality of sources is an absolute right. Stockholm's police chief was put under legal observation in October 2004 after he investigated one of his officers for passing on information to a journalist. Such an investigation is illegal in Sweden.
The weak link in press freedom
Most other European countries do not recognise such rights and their court rulings on revealing sources, secrecy of preliminary legal investigations, presumption of innocence and the right to use someone's picture increasingly present a clash between individual freedom and the right to inform the public.
Formal questioning of journalists, searches of media premises and seizures of documents increased in Belgium, Denmark, France and Italy. Such practices are serious obstructions and significant pressure, especially on investigative journalists.
Pressure and self-censorship also arises from laws in some countries that still allow journalists to be sent to prison for what they have written. Two journalists were jailed for libel in Italy in 2004.
France took a dangerous step backwards. Prison terms for most press offences were abolished in 2000 but parliament approved a measure on 22 December 2004 to set up a watchdog body to fight discrimination and inequality and also created new press offences (punishable by prison sentences) of defaming or insulting people because of their sex or sexual orientation, in addition to the crimes of incitement to racism and anti-Semitism.
The 10 countries that joined the EU on 1 May are also behind in press freedom. The editor of a local weekly in Poland was jailed for three months on 6 February for libelling a civil servant but was pardoned by the president in September. A journalist in Hungary was sentenced to 10 months in prison in January for libelling a member of parliament.
Negotiations by other countries to join the EU led to efforts by them to improve press freedom. Turkey abolished prison sentences for press offences in June and the government also released several journalists from jail. But those criticising the army or mentioning the Kurdish question still take a big risk. The media situation continued to improve in the Balkans, though two journalists were given suspended prisons sentences for libel in Croatia.
Dissident journalists persecuted in the former Soviet Union countries
Press freedom continued to worsen in most former republics of the Soviet Union, especially Ukraine and Belarus.
Censorship of TV news and pressure on the independent media in Ukraine peaked with the presidential election at the end of the 2004. The authorities stepped up their use of "temnyks" (written government instructions to the media). But during the "Orange Revolution" that followed the badly-flawed election, journalists in government-controlled media roundly denounced censorship.
It was an unprecedented uprising in a country where the murder in 2000 of independent journalist Georgiy Gongadze remains unsolved. As soon as the new president, Viktor Yushchenko, was elected, he told Kanal 5 TV station on 29 December that he wanted to quickly sign an agreement with journalists guaranteeing government non-interference with the editorial lines of newspapers.
"Press freedom is key to the country's development," he said. "Without an impartial media, Ukraine will not be able to take its place among democratic nations." It remains to be seen if these declarations will be followed by speedy action.
In Belarus, the authoritarian regime of President Alexander Lukashenko made concerted efforts to silence the few remaining dissident voices. The information minister used bogus bureaucratic reasons to suspend a dozen independent newspapers - the only alternative to the regime's propaganda - in the run-up to parliamentary elections and a referendum in October, throwing them into grave financial crisis.
The investigation into the disappearance in 2000 of opposition journalist Dmitri Zavadski was closed but a Council of Europe report said top government figures may have been involved.
The biased coverage of the school hostages tragedy in Beslan (Northern Ossetia) in September showed clearly the government's complete control of TV stations in Russia. Key details of the events were censored and well-known reporter Anna Politkovskaya, a Chechnya expert with the daily Novaya Gazeta, was almost certainly poisoned in a bid to stop her reaching the scene.
The number of physical attacks on journalists remained very high and two were killed, including the editor of the Russian edition of the US magazine Forbes, Paul Khlebnikov, who was murdered in Moscow on 9 July.
The situation got worse in Central Asia, where the few independent journalists were under heavy pressure. The fight against terrorism was used as an excuse by President Islam Karimov's regime in Uzbekistan to intensify his crackdown on the barely-existent independent press.
As in the old Soviet Union, the authorities also used sex to jail dissidents. Independent journalist and human rights activist Ruslan Sharipov was granted political asylum in the United States in October after fleeing the country, where he had been sentenced to four years in prison for homosexuality.
In Turkmenistan, where the privately-owned media is banned, several journalists working for foreign media were arrested or beaten up. Reception of the Russian station Radio Mayak, the only foreign station that had not been jammed, was cut off by the authorities, officially because of technical problems. President-for-Life Separmurad Nyazov denied people had to have visas to leave the country but several journalists who had tried unsuccessfully to leave said they seemed to have been put on a blacklist.
The situation also remained unstable in the Caucasus, where in Azerbaijan, pro-opposition journalists have been under heavy pressure since the 2003 presidential election. Rauf Arifoglu, editor of the country's main opposition paper, Yeni Musavat, and also a political leader, was sentenced in October to five years in prison for "disturbing the peace". In Georgia, media coverage remained difficult in the constituent republics of Abkhazia and Adjaria.

Lord Stoddart of Swindon asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Whitty: The Highways Agency anticipates that in the short term any reduction in the number of car journeys on this section of the M.4 will be small. To check this it is undertaking traffic surveys before and after the introduction of the bus lane and this will include counts of the number of cars and measurement of their journey times. It will also be checking traffic flows on other routes to check whether any traffic has diverted from the motorway.
Its hope, which I share, is that in the medium term the reduction in, and increased reliability of, bus and coach journey times will encourage a number of drivers to switch from using their cars.
Lord Stoddart of Swindon asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Whitty: The Highways Agency forecasts that the combination of the reduced speed limits, revised signing and road markings and the installation of the bus lane will reduce accidents on the eastbound carriageway between Junction 3 and the elevated section of the M.4 motorway by about 20 per cent.
Lord Northfield asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Whitty: The proposal to pedestrianise the north side of Trafalgar Square was included in the "World Squares for All" Masterplan produced by Sir Norman Foster and published in August 1998. The masterplan covers the historic area around Trafalgar Square, Parliament Square and Whitehall and seeks to redress the balance between vehicles and pedestrians, improve the historic environment and give the area back to Londoners and visitors to enjoy.
Westminster City Council appointed consultants on 9 March 1999 to carry out the initial and detailed design for Phase 1 (covering Trafalgar Square, St. Martin's Place and Northumberland Avenue) which is expected to take 18 months. Subject to funding and consents being in place, implementation could start in spring 2001.
Lord Hoyle asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Lord Donoughue): We are pleased to announce the publication of interim targets for flood and coastal defence operating authorities and elaboration of the Environment Agency's supervisory duty. We have placed a copy in the Library of the House.
The targets are designed to assist in developing a seamless and integrated service of flood forecasting, warning and response, as well as a more certain delivery
These interim targets will, among other things, set in hand arrangements for flood and coastal defence assets to be identified, recorded on a central database and their integrity assessed. There are also targets in relation to other important issues such as completion and implementation of water level management plans and shoreline management plans, as well as wider environmental objectives.
These targets, and elaboration of the Environment Agency's supervisory duty, have been developed in full co-operation with the agency, the Association of Drainage Authorities and the Local Government Association and in consultation with a wide range of relevant organisations. We have been impressed by the strong support we have had both for the overall approach we have adopted and for the particular measures we are introducing.
A more comprehensive set of targets, and further elaboration of the Environment Agency's supervisory duty, will be developed over the next year for adoption from March 2000. We will continue to work in a consultative way and we shall continue to keep Parliament informed of developments.
Lord Wallace of Saltaire asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Burlison: No. The United Kingdom comprises Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are part of the British islands. They are internally self-governing dependencies of the Crown, not of the United Kingdom.
Lord Campbell of Croy asked the Leader of the House:
The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Jay of Paddington): No. In the self-regulating Chamber, self-restraint in the use of time is essential. Time limits have increasingly been required because more Lords wish to participate. Noble Lords now regard the time provided as a right rather than a maximum. It is well understood that Starred Questions should end within 30 minutes; within that period no time limits are enforceable other than to ensure that all Questions tabled have a fair share of the time. The report from the Working Group on Procedure in the Chamber, chaired by the noble Baroness Lady Hilton of Eggardon, did recommend an expectation that the Clerk would call the next Question when the clock showed a certain number of minutes had elapsed on each Starred Question, but the Procedure Committee did not support this change. Where they are fewer than four Starred Questions, noble Lords may still use the time available; it would not be right for the Leader of the House to suggest that less time should be used for three Questions.
Lord Lamont of Lerwick asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Jay of Paddington: The Prime Minister has meetings with organisations and individuals on a wide range of subjects. By convention it is not the practice of governments to disclose details of such meetings.

Running a hybrid program comprising of Urgent Care and state-licensed
Emergency Room, Legacy ER aims to advance community access to
high-quality healthcare services by positioning the architectural
significance of its facility into direct alignment with the client's
goal of elevating the patient care experience to an unprecedented level.
By focusing the architecture on the patient and the staff the quality of
healthcare delivery is elevated and provides respite from the emotional
distress relating to emergency medical situations.
The conceptual framework seeks to capture in aesthetic terms the duality
of the emergency medical professional characters, projecting outwardly
the knowledge, skill, precision, and decisiveness necessary for the
practice of emergency medicine, and reflecting inwardly the gentle,
empathic, and humanistic qualities of the persons beneath the robe. This
is realized simply through an architectural montage of sharply folded
exterior robe of zinc and softly sculpted interior plastered planes. The
points of admission of natural daylight and outdoor views are frameless
apertures that puncture through the building envelope and interior
planes and elucidate those intersecting tectonic moments. Views, volume,
and light are elements that get repeated throughout the building. The
atmospheric quality combination and interplay of these three elements
continually morph the interior in response to the natural climatic
conditions and poetically links the users to nature.
Completed in November of 2013, the project site is previously an open
pasture surrounded by commercially-driven suburban residential
subdivisions, chain stores, and strip centers. The landscape strategies
introduce an exemplary way of reconciliation between nature and man-made
settings prevalent to the locality. Native, adaptive vegetation with low
water demands and subtle grading of land were used as design elements to
evoke memories of natural landscape whose forms reflect the interior and
cocoons the exterior form.

Bit Rate Allocation for Disparity Estimation from Compressed Images
This paper presents a novel rate allocation scheme to compute the 3D structure of the scene from compressed stereo images, captured by the distributed vision sensor networks. The images captured at different view points are encoded independently with a balanced rate allocation. The central decoder jointly decodes the information from the encoders, and computes the 3D geometry of the scene in terms of depth map. We first consider the scenario of estimating the 3D geometry from the views, compressed using standard encoders, e.g., SPIHT. Unfortunately, we noticed that the depth value is not precisely reconstructed in the low contrast regions or region around weak edges. It is mainly due to the rate allocation scheme, that allocates the bits based on the variance of the coefficients. We therefore propose a rate allocation scheme, where each encoder first identifies the low contrast regions and then distributes the bits such that the visual information in the low contrast regions is preserved. At the same time, the approximation quality in the rest of the image should not be penalized significantly. We adapt the SPIHT coding scheme to implement the proposed rate allocation methodology. Experimental results show that for a given bit budget, the proposed encoding scheme reconstructs the 3D geometry with more accuracy comparing to SPIHT, JPEG 2000 and JPEG coding schemes.

Response from Senator Beck on S-992
Please Share:
Senator Jennifer Beck shared the following response to inquiries she has received on S-992, an employer reporting bill:
Thank you for reaching out to my office on this important issue. To be clear, I am adamantly opposed to all forms of discrimination, and believe such attitudes have no place in our society. You should know I proudly support New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination, which has prohibited wage discrimination on the basis of sex since 1970 (NJSA 10:5-12). New Jersey's law is recognized as one of the most rigorous, progressive and aggressive wage discrimination statutes in the United States. Additionally, I was a supporter of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which President Obama signed into law in 2009.
As you may know, some of my Senate colleagues attempted to override the conditional veto of Senate Bill S-992 on January 23rd. I could not support the bill as it would require every company, whether located in New Jersey or anywhere around the globe, to provide the age, race, gender, job title, and salaries of every single employee associated in any way with a state contract. Additionally they will be mandated to report any changes in employment status. Thus far, our research has concluded that New Jersey would be the only state in the country with such a provision.
Additionally, this extremely onerous provision would surely discourage businesses from bidding on public contracts, resulting in less competition and higher costs to every New Jersey taxpayer.
I am currently working with the Senate leadership on a compromise bill and also seeking the passage of my legislation S-2458 which provides a gross income tax exclusion for wage discrimination awards.
Please know that I am and always will be a tireless advocate for women and that I will continue to fight against discrimination in any and all forms.
Senator Jennifer Beck
11th Legislative District

GoukiJones' Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age Review
By: goukijones Aug 31, 2017 | 1 Comments
When people ask me what is my favorite Final Fantasy, I tell them it's Final Fantasy XII. And most people look at me like I'm crazy. When I ask if they've even played the game, and they say no. So… I'm telling you guys, you have to give it a shot.
This IS my favorite Final Fantasy. The world is huge and connected all throughout, you can walk from one end to the to other. Fully animated cut scenes and great voice acting bring the characters to life. I love them all. The story includes Final Fantasy Judges, Viera, magic, mystery, two brothers in conflict, betrayal, a lost boy, a thief and his co-pilot, a dead husband and powerful enemy. I love this story. (Yes, I have actually watched the story cut scenes in this game.) Most conclusively, the main reason I love FF12 is the combat has been my favorite design in any Final Fantasy. The gambit system and programming your team to react in battle is a blast. It's the main element why I've played through it 3 times. *3 times is a lot for me in my world of gaming.Read full story...

I think all writers feel cheated when they discover that, after working so hard on honing their novel, there is no way to get it in front of a publisher. If you try sending in your manuscript – or even just a few chapters – to a publisher, it's thrown on the "slush pile" without even a glance. So how are you supposed to get your novel published?
The only thing a publisher will look at is a letter and three or four measly pages summarizing your plot. Unfair, isn't it? Unfortunately, that's life and there's not a lot you can do about it – except make that synopsis so stunning that they can't help but buy the book!
The synopsis is basically a summary of the whole novel. It's NOTHING like a marketing blurb, which would typically introduce the characters, build up some tension and leave the reader on a cliffhanger – because you're trying to hook your reader into buying the book to find out how the story ends. There's nothing more guaranteed to upset publishers! They want to know the whole story – beginning, middle and end with no questions unanswered, so they can judge how well the story is structured and whether the ending makes sense.
Writing the synopsis can be harder than writing the whole book! You have to convey your characters' personalities in a few carefully chosen words, and summarise the plot without losing the excitement, all within about three pages.
Your book is probably written in the first person ("I"), or in the third person (he or she) but through the eyes of one or two of the characters. If you switch into omniscient (which means you are writing as yourself, the author, watching the action from outside) you'll find it easier to summarize, because you'll be able to tell the story in strictly sequential order. That makes it easier for the publisher to understand what's going on. It also generally needs fewer words.
For instance, say part of the plot was that a girl (Mitzi) was double-crossing our Hero (Daniel). For most of the novel, he (and therefore the reader) doesn't know what she is up to, and her behaviour perplexes him. In Chapter 15, he (and the reader) has an "Aha!" moment, going back over her actions and realising her motives.
In the synopsis, writing in omniscient, you wouldn't have to keep this a secret from the publisher. When you introduce Mitzi, you would say something like "unknown to Daniel, Mitzi is double-crossing him by …". Then there is no need to explain her subsequent actions, or waste words going back over everything when you get to Chapter 15.
When you sit down to start writing your synopsis, don't worry too much about length at first: just concentrate on getting the bones of the story down on paper. You can always cut and polish later.
The best way to learn to write synopses is (a) to try it and (b) to read other writers' synopses. You'll find several examples of synopsis writing on Google.
Be willing to devote a lot of time to the synopsis – your novel's future depends on it!

The AD8231, from Analog Devices, is a zero-drift, programmable-gain instrumentation amplifier (in-amp). Zero-drift in-amps are often used in harsh industrial environments such as power plants to cancel, or reject, large common-mode voltages that would otherwise drown out smaller system-critical signals.
The AD8231 zero-drift in-amp is designed for industrial sensors, where, despite the presence of "noise" resulting from much larger background voltages, signals generated by resistance temperature detectors, thermocouplers, automotive pressure sensors and other devices must be measured precisely. Featuring software gain-programmability and 80 percent lower input noise than competing devices, the AD8231 enables designers of industrial sensors to maintain dc precision while easily adjusting gain values. The new in-amp also offers rail-to-rail inputs and outputs at up to 1-MHz bandwidth—five times the throughput of the nearest competing zero-drift in-amp. The AD8231 is the only zero-drift in-amp to integrate an uncommitted op-amp, which eases system design and reduces cost and board space requirements by at least 50 percent.
Using a three-operational amplifier (op-amp) instrumentation architecture, the AD8231 enhances reliability by integrating auto-zero amplifiers to maintain a voltage offset of only 50 nV/° C across temperature and over years of operation. The AD8231 also features internal gain-setting resistors, which limit gain coefficient temperature drift to 10 ppm/° C. The device's LFCSP (lead-frame chip-scale package) material was chosen for its reliability and robustness over temperature, which results in a part that is specified for the extended industrial temperature range of –40° C to 125° C. The package comes with a center paddle, which keeps the part securely soldered to the printed-circuit board in high-vibration environments.
The AD8231 features software programmable gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128, which are programmed through an easy-to-use three-pin interface. The gain can be set using digital logic, which allows users to repeatedly adjust gain once the in-amp has been designed into the system. A pin-strapping gain setting option is also included. The new device operates on a single supply from 3.3 V to 5 V and has rail-to-rail outputs, making it easy to interface to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The AD8231 has high impedance inputs of 10 gigaohms, and unlike competing parts, does not suffer performance degradation when using higher impedance sensors.
The AD8231 includes an additional on-chip op-amp, which further extends performance. The op-amp can be used to create a differential output to drive today's high performance ADCs, or to add or customize gains. The integrated op-amp also provides a tool for additional error correction, level shifting, or filtering. Using the same low-noise auto-zero techniques as the in-amp, the on-chip op-amp also has rail-to-rail inputs and outputs. The ability of the AD8231 to eliminate noise-prone discrete components, such as switched capacitors, combined with the added on-chip signal conditioning of the integrated op-amp, cuts cost by 60 percent and reduces board space requirements by 50 percent compared to other zero-drift in-amps.
Manufactured using Analog Devices' highly efficient iCMOS(TM) (industrial CMOS) process technology, the AD8231 achieves a noise level of 32 nV/rt-Hz, five times lower than competitive zero-drift in-amps. The AD8231 also features 122-dB CMR (common-mode rejection), allowing the in-amp to detect very low-amplitude signals in noisy environments.
Ideally suited for industrial controls and sensors requiring a single 3.3-V to 5-V power supply, ADI's new single-supply in-amp easily interfaces to ADCs and microcontrollers by using the same power supply as digital components. The AD8231 is designed to work well with Analog Devices' data converters (including the AD7942, AD7685 and AD7980 PulSAR(R) ADCs), the ADuC702x family of precision analog microcontrollers and ADI's ADR121, ADR43x and ADR44x voltage reference.
The AD8231 zero-drift, digitally-programmable, gain in-amp is sampling now in a 16-lead LFCSP package with production quantities available in April 2007. The AD8231 is priced at $1.69 in 1,000-unit quantities.

Michaele Salahi Claims Whoopi Goldberg Hit Her?
Michaele Salahi and the other cast members from The Real Housewives of DC were on The View yesterday to promote their show. Michaele started going off with another of those old crows about how they were catty toward each other. They really got off topic. So much, that Whoopi Goldberg
emerged from the back, touched Michaele lightly and asked her if they could get back to the White House. Apparently that made Michaele a bit livid, because after the show, she claimed that Whoopi had hit her.
Or something like that….
Whoopi got wind of the "hitting" lie and confronted Michaele after the show. She proceeded to drop a rambling slew of F-bombs toward the guest, whose husband tried to film on his BlackBerry. Now, their lawyer is claiming that Whoopi defamed and abused Michaele. Go figure. These famewhores will never learn.

A play in letters
from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell
and back again
Directed by Les Waters
November 30-December 22, 2012
Yale Repertory Theatre (1120 Chapel Street)
Sarah Ruhl, one of the most celebrated and honored playwrights of her generation, returns to Yale Rep with the world premiere of Dear Elizabeth, chronicling the remarkable thirty-year friendship between two of the most celebrated and honored American poets of the 20th century: Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell. With postmarks from Maine to Key West, and as far away as London and South America, Dear Elizabeth is a lyrical and moving portrait of two lives that unfold in letters.
Sarah Ruhl made her Yale Rep debut in 2004 with the world premiere of The Clean House, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama. Her collaborations with Les Waters include the acclaimed productions of Eurydice at Yale Rep in 2006 and the Pulitzer and Tony Award-nominated In the Next Room (or the vibrator play) on Broadway.

To assist dentists and their staffs in the proper handling and disposal of wastes, the Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) has developed its Waste Management Guidelines. This publication helps dental office personnel identify products that contain hazardous materials and properly handle the wastes generated during office procedures.
As addressed in the guidelines, PDA recommends the reduction and recycling of hazardous and infectious wastes. PDA also strongly encourages source reduction or recycling as preferred waste management practices; proper disposal is appropriate when recycling is not possible. A list of recyclers in Pennsylvania, the Waste Handler Quick Reference Card, is available for download as a PDF file.
To help you and your staff properly dispose of amalgam waste for recycling, the EIC developed an Amalgam Waste Flow Chart. The EIC encourages you to print and display the flow chart in a common area where all staff can refer to it easily and often.
If you have a specific waste management question, call (717) 234-5941 or send an email.

Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning from a training course and improve performance.
Coaching is proven to work when there are two factors present:
- The client is willing to grow
- There is a gap between where they are now and where they need to be
We ask that clients come up with two or three goals, actions or breakthroughs they want to achieve between sessions. We arm them with the skills, then ensure we make them accountable for their own success.

I guess that I only collect and reblog funny news or current event articles are not good enough to entertain people here. It's time to sell some personal story to make everyone being happy!
Recently, People who PM are getting weird! For example:
This is so funny! How do you choose a girl whom you will send PM and ask for online sex with? Posts, respond, profile picture…….. I don't get any idea…..
Guys, next time please don't ask that why there are so many "Good girls". The answer is that Because of You! A lot of girls believe that "Good Girls"= "Good Guys"
Some girls like to be "甲醇女" and "小绵羊"
甲醇女=假装纯情=pretend to be pure!
Be a good girl, don't be 女流氓(Female rascal) . A good girl will have a good change to "find" a Better one!
Don't say dirty words. When you say "Fu*k", someone will say that this girl is so rude, not educated. She is a bad girl.
Always try to be "a little sheep", even you know thousands of dirty words, and you are a lion when you swear.
Don't even mention sex this world with others, because people will think that you are fu*k-available.
Don't go out with a guy over midnight, you should always say that it's too late, and I want to go home.(娃娃音).
Always say No to him if he ask to have sex with you because He will be more respected. He will not think that you are a casual girl!
Be smiling all the time. Be subtle. Don't be too strong and showing a lot of thoughts.
Be virgin. Never say that you have sexual experiences. Virgin= Good Value!
Not being offensive! No matter you are 女流氓 or you are 真纯女,甲纯女! Be yourself, and Enjoy it!
Everyone, has a good day!
PS: I post this one because I want to you know. You take a huge risk when you ask online or offline sex with a stranger. You don't know what their next reaction! Be aware and Be careful when you try to make your decision! You are 50% in danger

We offer the whole microbiological porfolio .
Plate count of different bacteria such as Alicyclobacillus spp., Enterobacteriaceae, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and microorganisms such as yeast and mold and all IFU-methods. For identification most modern tecniques are available, – 16S-rRNA-genesequencing, ITS-sequencing, MALDI-TOF or VITEK. PCR is used for rapid detection of pathogens (Salmonella, EHEC or listeria monocytogenes). Immunological methods for detection of Staphylococcus enterotoxins or verotoxin (VTEC) and serotyping are on hand as well.
Furthermore we offer access to a database of all microbiological guidance values (mikrobiologische Richt- und Warnwerte). Also very usefull the Lemgo D- and z-value Database.
In processed/pasteurized foods microorganisms are typically not detecable any more. What remains are products of metabolism which can be analysed and alow an assesment of a sample. These may be classical spoilage indicators such as ethanol, lactic and acetic acid, but also ergosterol, glycerol, ethanolamin, ammonia, gluconic and fumaric acid.
A special class of metabolites are mycotoxins. These are metabolic products of different fungi and are produced while they grow on vegetables, food or feeding stuff. Except through spoilage of food, contaminations can appear through processing with contaminated food or even through feeding contaminated products. Since Mycotoxines are partly carcinogenic, there are very low threshold values for these substances, especially for food for infants and toddlers.
The analysis of preservatives is also part of our scope. Beside routine additives we can test for Natamycin and Dimethyldicarbonat/DMDC (Velcorin®).

Richard D. Poll
Richard Douglas Poll (April 23, 1918 – April 27, 1994) was an American historian, academic, author and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). His liberal religiosity influenced his notable metaphor about "Iron Rod" vs. "Liahona" LDS Church members.[1]
Poll was born in Salt Lake City, where he lived until moving to Fort Worth, Texas at age 10. He published his first article at age 13 in Liahona, the Elders' Journal, a missionary magazine published by the LDS Church.[1] From 1939-1941 he served as an LDS missionary, first in Germany until World War II began, and then in Canada. From 1942-1945, Poll served as a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Force without seeing the front.[2] He married Emogene (Gene) Hill in 1943 in the Salt Lake Temple, and they remained married until their deaths in 1994 in Provo, Utah.[1][3]
Throughout his life, Poll was active in the LDS Church[4] and served in various positions, such as stake high councilor.[5]
In Fort Worth, Poll studied at Texas Christian University (TCU), completing a bachelor's degree in history in 1938. He also received a master's degree from TCU in 1939,[1] writing his thesis on the U.S. campaign against Mormon polygamy.[6] Poll later received a Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Berkeley in 1948.[1]
From 1948-1970 Poll was a history professor at Brigham Young University (BYU). In 1955, he became chair of the department of history.[1] He was the charter president of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) at BYU in 1959. In 1962, Poll became associate director of the BYU Honors Program, and was named Honors Professor of the Year at BYU in 1969. From 1958-65, he had also occasionally taught at the University of Maryland, College Park, European Division.[2] At BYU, Poll clashed with BYU administration and some church leadership over his AAUP involvement, their anti-communism, and the role of organic evolution. After uncertainty over whether his BYU contract would be renewed, Poll resigned to take a position as vice president of Western Illinois University (WIU) in 1969.[7] He remained in that role until 1975, though he continued teaching history at WIU until 1983. In his retirement, Poll taught occasional classes at BYU from 1983 until his death in 1994.[2]
From 1978-1993, Poll and his wife taught reading and writing skills in adult education classes offered by the LDS Church.[2]
"Iron Rod" and "Liahona" metaphor[edit]
Poll wrote on various topics in Latter-day Saint history and thought. His religious approach was influenced by his studies at TCU, where he examined and rejected creationism, scriptural literalism, and prophetic infallibility. He remembered one professor saying "the purpose of religion is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."[1] In 1963,[2] Poll prepared a paper called "What the Church Means to People Like Me", which he delivered in the Palo Alto Ward sacrament meeting in August 1967 and published in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought.[5]
The paper drew upon Book of Mormon imagery. In Lehi and Nephi's vision, people held onto an "iron rod" that followed a single path to salvation. In another story, a mysterious instrument, called the "Liahona", pointed righteous travelers toward their destination. Poll's paper set up a dichotomy between church members who see the gospel as clear and exact, or "hold to the Iron Rod", and those who follow the guidance of the church as a compass to lead their lives. He explained:
"The Iron Rod Saint does not look for questions but for answers, and in the gospel he finds or is confident that he can find the answer to every important question. The Liahona Saint, on the other hand, is preoccupied with questions and skeptical of answers; he finds in the gospel answers to enough important questions so that he can function purposefully without answers to the rest."[2]
The subject caught the attention of LDS intellectuals and leaders, becoming a poignant metaphor in cultural discourse.[2] It would become Poll's best known article,[2] and was republished several other times.[1]
In a 1971 General Conference address, church apostle Harold B. Lee alluded to and denounced Poll's ideas, saying:
If there is any one thing most needed in this time of tumult and frustration, … it is an "iron rod" as a safe guide along the straight path on the way to eternal life, … There are many who profess to be religious and speak of themselves as Christians, and, according to one such, "as accepting the scriptures only as sources of inspiration and moral truth," and then ask in their smugness: "Do the revelations of God give us a handrail to the kingdom of God, as the Lord's messenger told Lehi, or merely a compass?" … Wouldn't it be a great thing if all who are well schooled in secular learning could hold fast to the "iron rod," or the word of God, …?[8]
Lee also quoted the phrase, "A liberal in the Church is merely one who does not have a testimony." Lee then quoted John A. Widtsoe's definition of "a liberal in the church" as one who has broken with the fundamental principles, does not believe in its basic concepts, and sets out to reform it by changing its foundations.[8]
Poll and his wife considered themselves "Liahona" Mormons.[2]

Top Tips for Buying Building Materials
Buying building materials? If so, follow these three simple rules to save money, time, and a lot of heartbreak. First and foremost, get the best quality materials. Second, go with an established and respected firm that 's known for having a wide selection of superior goods, and stands behind them. Lastly, consult with a business that freely consults with you. Let me explain.
Why Quality Matters
The saying, 'You get what you pay for' applies most particularly when it concerns building materials. Think about any of these variables: the larger the structure, the more weight it will hold, the longer life you want it to have, and the more value you want to get out of it over time (including keeping you, your family and friends not only content, but healthy and alive, as well-made fencing and other structures will do) – the more you should be looking at the quality of the materials you use.
Let's say you want to build a deck. You look through the papers or online for building materials, and you go with the cheapest price. Big mistake. Decking must be made with top-calibre materials, including the underlying foundation or concrete structure, if that's being made. You want to make sure the posts holding up the decking frame have been treated or you've been told how to treat them, to withstand rot, or the decking boards will not last long and might collapse.
In addition, the entire framework - including the grid of joists and beams, post cap, joist hangers, and other building materials - and the deck boards themselves, needs to sing of quality. Or, the notes you hear might be those of pain as your guests crack through timber that cost you little, but supports little weight, or got wet and came apart. And, you might chime in with moans when the lawsuits hit.
Let us Help
It's best to use a quality supplier like AVS Fencing Supplies, one that sells only the highest grade of building materials. They only sell top-notch timber, increasingly sourced from UK forests that grow the strongest, most sustainable woods. A large percentage of AVS's wooden products are pressure or dip treated to resist rot and decay. Their huge selection of fencing, decking and landscaping supplies is strictly the best.
This quality standard applies from the smallest staples to all fixtures, hinges, attachments and ironmongery, and on to gates and fencing panels, gardening, deck making, furniture, yard structures and aggregate and treatment mixes. AVS also offer products from major name suppliers like Grange and Rutland, companies that only provide goods to top-name, trusted sellers. AVS's widespread community support, work done for England's public centres, and use by the military is further evidence of the quality of all of their building materials.
