Analog Electronic Music: a gentle introduction to using CMOS
Friday, March 25, 2011 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (AEDT)
Event Details
Electrofringe and the University of New South Wales present a workshop by artist, academic and computer musician Joe Mariglio.
Build your own analog synths and effects! Pulsewave oscillators, distortion pedals, filters, and octave dividers can be designed from simple boolean logic gates and combined into a dizzying array of soundmaking devices.
This workshop is aimed at tinkerers interested in expanding their sonic arsenal with unique analog instruments & effects. Emphasizing practice over theory, Joe will walk the absolute beginner through a series of analog "recipes" which students can follow along on their own solderless prototyping boards.
This workshop will cover the following recipes:
1. using the 4093 to produce a tone
further exploration: using two or more oscillators to gate each other
2. using the 4049 to amplify sounds
further exploration: producing a filter with the 4049, producing a distortion circuit with the 4049
3. using the 4040 with either of the above circuits to produce an octave drop
4. (time permitting) using the output of the 4049 to drive an oscillator network
Concepts in analog electronics, specifically pertaining to the use of the CMOS series of integrated circuits, will be discussed and illustrated by the above recipes. The workshop will cover basic concepts in electronic music such as "what is a square wave?" and "what does a filter do?"
Ultimately, the workshop will hopefully introduce its attendees to the world of electro-acoustic instrument building, and invite the questioning of what the music tech industry would have us take for granted.

Stylish Breed
Chicago, IL 60615
Gallery 2
The exhibition Stylish Breed looks at embellishment as a means of disguise through the artworks of Elaine Bradford and Megan Greene. The two artists featured in this exhibition organized by Allison Peters Quinn, Director of Exhibitions at the Art Center, have independently created strong bodies of work that raise questions about the adaptability of species with humor and elegance. Combining pattern and decoration typical in fashion and craft with found natural history objects, both Bradford and Greene propose a distinct new camouflage for the animal needing to blend into the ever-expanding urban environment.
According to Charles Darwin, species alter their appearance over time in response to their environment in order to survive and evolve. The sculptures and photographs by Elaine Bradford and the works on paper by Megan Greene take Darwin's theory of phenotype (or the visible characteristics of an animal that result from the combined effects of the genes and the environment) even further by incorporating human fashion and adornment as a means for a species to adapt to its surroundings. Bradford creates crocheted body armor for taxidermy squirrels, deer, and antelope and enlivens them in installations as well as photographs of them positioned in the wild. Greene builds her drawings by using the famous19th c. prints of American birds by J. J. Audubon as a base to dissolve, reassemble, and transform the birds into hybridized forms that meld couture patterns and textures with the uncomplicated organic shapes of nature and the environment.
About the artists:
Elaine Bradford lives and works in Houston, TX. She holds an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts (2003) and a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin (2000). Recent solo shows have been at ArtLeague (TX) and Hunt Gallery, Webster University, St. Louis. She is a founding member and Exhibition Coordinator of Box 13 ArtSpace, an innovative artist-run studio and gallery space in Houston. Bradford was the recipient of a 2008 Individual Artist Fellowship Grant from the Houston Arts Alliance. She just completed a residency at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and a large-scale installation commissioned by the City of Houston for the Vinson Neighborhood Library.
A native of Buffalo (NY), Megan Greene earned an MFA degree from Rutgers University and a BFA from Notre Dame University, both with a focus on painting and drawing. She was awarded a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship to live in New Zealand, where she researched Maori and Pacific Islander forms of adornment. Her works have been exhibited nationally at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Maine, Kinz, Tillou+Feigen gallery (New York), and locally at Carrie Secrist Gallery. Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Albright Knox Art Gallery and the Burchfield Penney Art Center (NY).

Netanyahu is slated as the PM who holds four ministries
Benjamin Netanyahu has been criticised by one of Israel's top judges for holding four ministerial positions as well as serving as prime minister.
Justice Hanan Melcer, who sits on Israel's supreme court, cast the spotlight on Mr Netanyahu's current portfolio of ministries in the coalition government formed after March's general election.
In addition to being prime minister, the Israeli leader is minister for the foreign, communications, regional cooperation and health ministries - the day-to-day running of which is handled by deputy ministers.
Justice Melcer's remarks came at a supreme court hearing to decide the case of Yaakov Litzman, whose status as deputy health minister has been challenged in a petition filed by the secular opposition party, Yesh Atid, which complained about the absence of a full-time health minister.
Mr Litzman, a member of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, says he and his party colleagues are precluded by a 'rabbinical ordinance' dating back to the 1950s from accepting full ministerial posts.
He instead sits in the cabinet as "deputy minister with the rank of minister", while Mr Netanyahu holds the title of health minister.
Sitting on a panel of five judges, Justice Melcer told the hearing that Israel's current basic law - the closest thing the country has to a constitution - did not support such an arrangement. "[Mr Netanyahu] cannot be, along with being prime minister, a minister. This entire plan is disqualified according to the current basic law," he said.
The comments attracted renewed attention to the make-up of Mr Netanyahu's rickety right-wing coalition.
While previous prime ministers have on occasion combined the highest office with the foreign or defence portfolios, Mr Netanyahu's simultaneous appropriation of four ministries is said to be unprecedented.
Current law only allows the prime minister to hold full ministerial posts temporarily if the incumbent dies, resigns or is incapacitated.
Mr Netanyahu is holding onto the foreign ministry in the hope that he can use it as a carrot to woo opposition parties into his coalition.
Ben Caspit, a frequent critic of the prime minister, said Justice Melcer's words could have a "dramatic" effect.
"Either Netanyahu gets the basic law changed and can be both prime minister or any other minister he wants (why not be both prime minister and all the other ministers?), or the government is expanded by at least four more ministers," he wrote in a newspaper column. "And it will be necessary to run Israel like an orderly country, not like a banana republic."

OURS is a good age for history and biography but it is not, sadly, a poetic age. Poetry doesn't seem to matter as much as it did. It's partly, perhaps, a question of how we see ourselves, and partly how we live: "I can't read slowly enough to enjoy poetry", a friend recently remarked. It may also be that we invest words with less importance and live less through language than we did.
Thus, a writer who seeks nowadays to tell history in verse does either a brave or foolish thing. The poet Tom Paulin, who is also an Oxford don and a pundit on the BBC's Late Review, has written an epic which attempts a poetic rendering of the Second World War and the events leading to it. This first of several volumes begins with the Treaty of Versailles which concluded the First World War and ends in the early stages of 1945.
At the same time, according to the accompanying blurb, Paulin "explores the search for peace and a civic culture, as well as the relationship of art and philosophy to politics and to questions of national identity." Poor Paulin; his task is ambitious enough without all this.
His poetry is chatty and prosy, chopped into short lines, seeking its effect in paradox, juxtaposition, echoes from Shakespeare, Joyce, Yeats and Eliot and the transference of voices. He proceeds by quotation and collage, catalogue and caption, in prose and in verse. My friend who couldn't read slowly enough would find this easy to read quickly, so it might be a popular form for busy people. Indeed, it's best read quickly because if you linger, seeking something to savour, it evaporates as you look at it. Poetic taste is highly subjective, of course, but to me this poem is thin, brackish, clever-clever and attention-seeking. Above all, it's boring.
The historical period it covers is fascinating - but unfortunately Paulin makes dull work of the telling. So far from "constantly challenging the reader's preconceptions" as the blurb has it, his poem reads like a rag-bag of received opinions, incidentals and things he wants to get off his chest. He trots out the view, for example, that the harshness of the Versailles treaty guaranteed the Second World War. But this conventional version has been challenged in recent years: the way the first war ended arguably made the second inevitable whatever the treaty said; German atrocities against civilians in 1914 were real and the memory of them influenced the Allies; the swingeing reparations were never actually paid; secret German rearmament began very early in the 1920s; Versailles was anyway a model of reasonableness compared to the treaty the Germans imposed upon the Russians at Brest-Litovsk in 1918. None of this is reflected in the poem.
Historians might argue this either way, but that's the point: in writing history you have to make a case, whereas by calling it poetry you can assert your prejudices, or smuggle them in, as you wish. That might be tolerable if the writing itself were more imaginative and original.
Think, for instance, of what could be said about that vegetarian soldier-artist, Adolf Hitler, so ordinary yet so monstrous, so preposterous yet so persuasive that Stalin was taken in. Then read Paulin's prose paragraph, which begins, "Contrary as it appears to all received opinion, Hitler had a mind . . ." and ends, "As I write this, I notice that the college cat - he is called Simkins - is crossing the quad." It's jejune. (And whoever claimed Hitler didn't have a mind?)

Don't misunderstand. Many miracles have been performed in my short life so I know God has shown up. I have much to be thankful for and I've been showered with blessings — my daughter, my mother, true friends, our homes, our land, the vehicles we drive, different interesting and fun jobs, the ability to work from home so I can raise my child, forgiveness, love and laughter — just to name a few. But as many struggles take place in our lives, I suppose our faith (or lack of) is tested.
I realize we weren't promised a rose garden. We were warned this life wouldn't be an easy one. We are asked to believe in God and in Jesus and what Jesus did and still does for us. I believe all that without question. Miracles have transpired to cause me to believe in God. I've never questioned Jesus. I have a great love for him. And it's not that I don't love God. I do.
A friend brought up some relevant questions concerning God that have me questioning his intentions. Actually, I had already been questioning. While I understand we are not supposed to question God and we do not have the capability of ever understanding his reasons or intentions of why he does what, isn't it the human condition to question when it comes to things that are so tragic and impossible to understand? I mean, it's in our nature to want to understand, right?
We are expected to have blind faith, to rely on God, to trust in him and not to worry. We are not to worry about tomorrow because it's not here yet. But what about today?
What about the person who lost their home because they didn't have enough money to pay their mortgage? And they didn't have any family they could stay with until they got back up on their feet?
What about the homeless man that's too far away from a shelter or food pantry to eat or sleep?
What about these horrific acts of terrorism that abruptly and senselessly steal the lives of hundreds and even thousands of people (men, women, children, infants)? How are we to make sense of this?
How are we to send our tiny innocent children to school when a crazy person might show up and change our lives forever, breaking us, tearing away pieces of our soul? We are not supposed to live in fear because exhibiting doubt, worry and fear is to not fully trust and have faith in God? How can we not live in fear when all this is going on around us? Our God is bigger? Bigger than we can understand? Bigger than all these tragedies?
We are supposed to pray and petition God daily. We are to put our faith and trust and reliance in him to take care of us and to answer our prayers. All we have to do is ask and trust and believe. That's what the Bible tells us. But the Bible was written by man, yes? By several different men, in fact. It's been translated so many times, has it not been twisted to distort or even completely eradicate the truth? Some words and meanings in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek (the original texts) do not even have correct English translation. Just something to think about.
I read Matthew 7:7 (NIV) all the time: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." As well as Matthew 21:22: "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." And Mark 11:24: "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." While I realize when we ask God for something (and yes, I know he's not Santa), his answer to a prayer can be no, don't these verses say "it will be given to you?" And I know that it's in his time, not mine. I'm glad he waited on some of the answers he's delivered. Sometimes, he's been lightning fast to answer, which I'm also happy with, thank You, God, by the way.
What about the other stuff? How are we to make sense of these things that make no sense? God has a reason for everything. I understand that. But what are we to do with that? How do we get out of bed in the morning when we know what could be potentially waiting just outside that door? How do we let our children out of our sight for a moment? Why does he wait so long to answer when we do need him right away? Why does he perform a miracle to cause a non-believer to all the sudden believe but not do this for another? He doesn't give us more than we can handle? What about the person who just committed suicide because she just couldn't take it any longer?
At times, I've felt God turned his back on me. I know deep down in my heart that it's not true. He'd never do that. Even though I can be filled with bitterness, anger, resentment and blame and even scream out at him with what can be a trash mouth at times, he does not and will never turn his back on me. I have found great comfort in this. At other times, I feel the need to turn my back on him. Yes, I said it. I feel a bit of guilt admitting this but I'm just being real. How many of you have felt the same? And I consider myself a Christian. I am a Christian. I am also human and filled with human emotion and feel the need to express myself to God and to Jesus. I know they understand my heart so I feel a little less guilt for being real. God appreciates authenticity more than fake respect/reverence.
No, I've not read all of the Bible, yet, but I'm working on it. I also know the devil can tempt you to do bad things and maybe it's the devil tempting me to question God. But maybe it's also my humanness to question.
Don't you question?
What do you believe?
How do you deal with all the struggles of daily living and all the evil that's in the world, just outside your front door?
How do you deal with not knowing? Not understanding?
How has your faith been tested?
And how do you stay faithful?
Do you believe it's sinful to question God?

text: Just returning from Rome where I spent 8 days making a personal retreat of sorts that included time in prayer with the monks at Sant'Anselmo, I could not divorce the experience of hearing the Word of God proclaimed frequently throughout the day. Truly, it was a renewing experience of keeping God in front of me. And how else does one live as a follower of Christ but to keep His word and sacrament in front of the self?

"Addiction is a symptom of not growing up. I know people think it's a disease... If you have a brain tumor, if you have cancer, that's a disease. To say that an addiction is a disease is not fair to the real diseases of the world."
"The habit of common and continuous speech is a symptom of mental deficiency. It proceeds from not knowing what is going on in other people's minds."
"Anger is a symptom, a way of cloaking and expressing feelings too awful to experience directly - hurt, bitterness, grief, and, most of all, fear"
"One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important."

It has been two and half months since returning home. Even though we still have our Aussie bank account open (Matte's employer is still holding back 1300 dollars of pension and we are hoping it to get resolved), the sunshiny life is starting to be only a heartwarming memory.
Matthias is in Belgium, I am back here in Finland. There is 2042 kilometers between us again and we don't know how long that is going to take.
We are unlucky to have one of the most expensive connections inside Europe separating us. I can fly further away for half the price sometimes. Finnair is a great airline company, but its monopoly over this direct route forces us to see each other less than we would like.
Especially after a year of travels there is not much to take from our bank accounts. Matte surprised me by visiting for a weekend at the end of November and we will be seeing again next week. After that I am not sure yet. Hopefully in January, for sure in February.
We are both working again. Matte just got promoted to an interesting new position and it threw us off a little. I have a job only till March, so it would feel silly to throw away a wonderful opportunity like that, especially when I don't really have much to keep me in Finland workwise.
However, nothing is simple. I don't speak Dutch or French, which would be quite helpful to find a job in Belgium. Matte does not speak Finnish, which is almost a necessity to land a job here.
What makes it even more difficult is the fact that neither of us wants to do a pointless, unfruitful jobs. Especially I find it important to have meaningful work to do. Anything does not go. Thus, figuring all this out and how to get us to the same country, makes our heads spin sometimes.
I am excited about what the future holds for us. Of course there are moments of desperation, when it feels like we have an impossible task in front of us. But
when we can pull this off, it will be a whole new page turning in our lives.
Sometimes I still wonder if we just should go back to travelling again.
I miss the freedom. I miss Australia. I miss seeing amazing things on a regular basis. I miss the people we met during our travels.
But I have also realized I have a need to try and build something more permanent, move on to the next stage of my life. That means having proper jobs somewhere in a nice city, maybe even splurging a little and buying an apartment. How middle-aged of me.
I will try to write a few posts of Helsinki, the city that I actually missed quite a bit while travelling. And who knows, maybe Matte will get so excited about Portugal he is visiting with family during New Year's and will tell stories of it to all of us.
But for now, this blog will be less about travelling, and more about trying to connect two European souls together again.

he $15 Million lawsuit against Future has officially been dropped.
However, in October of 2016 a judge ruled that the rapper's tweets did not correlate with the $15 million she was asking for. Shortly there after that initial court room ruling the singer dropped her lawsuit, and it seemed as though maybe the former couple would be able to smooth things over.
Now it appears the singer has officially called it quits as TMZ reports that she has filed official paper work to dismiss the case.
The report also cites that the dismissal comes "with prejudice" terms meaning that the singer can not refile the case.
It would seem that even though Future tweeted "2017 nobody safe" that the rapper is indeed safe.

How to Grow Unitarian Universalism by Keeping Our Kids
Rev. Christana Wille McKnight
I want to thank Peter for hosting the Internet debut of my GA presentation at uugrowth.com. As I said to Peter, and to those of you who I met in Minneapolis, there is no more appropriate place for this presentation to be accessible from!
I asked Peter to post this presentation because so many people asked for copies of it at GA. Since it was impractical to send the documents to everyone who was interested, making the information public was a logical decision.

American Prisons becomes concern in world
An astonishing video has surprised the entire world which having the images of the most horrible American Prisons in the world. The punishment facilities were found in the video shared on the internet were found treating their prisoners like animals. The human rights activists raised their voice against the governments on their inhuman behavior.
Everywhere in the world, the governments tries to make their American Prisons more secure and fool proof these days. Prisoners of every kind are kept in those punishment facilities. A risk of prison break always remains alive having the dangerous criminals in their lockups. To avoid such incidents, every possible measure is taken by the governments.
To make the American Prisons more secure, advanced technology and specially trained guards are employed in those facilities. Due to presence of dangerous prisoners, a risk of internal riot is always present in such dangerous places. All the employees in the prison are given a special tanning to handle any such situation. Such criminals sometimes create problems inside the facility and try to escape when everything goes wrong.
To make the American Prisons trouble free, prisoners of different nature are now divided into different parts. The criminals having a record of terrorist activities and bad past are always kept at a separate and more secure place than others. They are given more attention to avoid any kind of inside or outside danger.
Making the prisoners more secure becomes more important because after getting out they can make many troubles again. Their people outside always remain in efforts to break into the facilities and help them out. Many American Prisons were broken into in Pakistan in past as well.

It's time for another installment in my The Intelligent Investor series.
On page 294, Graham writes "One of the most persuasive tests of high quality is an uninterrupted record of dividend payments going back over many years. We think that a record of continuous dividend payments for the last 20 years or more is an important plus factor in the company's quality rating. Indeed the defensive investor might be justified in limiting his purchases to those meeting this test"
Continuous dividend payments, as well as increases, means that a company must be conservative in their own operations and plan ahead rather than just spending money on projects that won't eventually contribute to their bottom line. Dividends are the only true way for a company to reward it's shareholders since relying solely on capital gains is equivalent to hoping that someone else will come along and pay a higher price for your shares. A long history of dividend payment and increases is something I want out of a company I'm investing in for the long haul. It shows that the company is committed to shareholders and has a long term plan in place that they are executing. While I don't necessarily follow the 20 year minimum on dividend payments, I do like to see 10 years or more of dividend increases. If you strictly follow the 20 year you will significantly reduce the number of stocks in your arsenal such as Microsoft and Intel which are high on the list of most dividend growth investors. It's good to see that while many things have changed the basics of valuing an investment hasn't.
I highly recommend reading through The Intelligent Investor REV Ed. (Revised Edition) by Graham, Benjamin (Google Affiliate Ad) if you haven't already done so. I've highlighted some of the information in the book, but there's so much more to learn.

Deutsche Bank Markets Research cut its rating on palm plantation companies PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk and PT Perusahaan Perkebunan London Sumatra Indonesia Tbk to 'hold', citing lower earnings forecasts due to declining palm oil prices.
"Overall, we expect Astra Agro to continue to trade at a premium given its good corporate governance and strong balance sheet, but we have lowered the premium amid less favourable age profile," Deutsche Bank said in a note on Thursday.
It lowered its target price on Astra Agro to 18,500 rupiah.
The research house also cut its target price on London Sumatra to 1,900 rupiah and said, "We continue to view the CPO price as the stock's main catalyst, and our Hold rating is basically driven by our forecast of a lower CPO price this year amid still relatively strong production compared to demand."
However, Deutsche Bank said it did expect a production recovery this year and the company should be able to absorb some of the negative impact to its earnings from a lower CPO price.
Astra Agro's shares were up 0.26 percent at 18.950 rupiah and London Sumatra shares rose 1.26 percent to 2,075 rupiah. The Jakarta stock exchange index was up 0.09 percent.

Jakarta's newly elected governor, Joko Widodo, said he expects to expedite the construction of the giant sea wall in Jakarta coast to prevent flooding.

BACKGROUND: Deliberate self harm (DSH) is an increasingly common problem. Although much attention is focused on suicide prevention by psychiatric services, the role of the general practitioner (GP) in the prevention of suicidal behaviour and in the aftercare of DSH patients is also important. AIM: To examine the nature and timing of GP contacts with DSH patients before and after an episode of DSH, and patients' satisfaction with these contacts. DESIGN OF STUDY: Structured interviews with patients shortly after an episode of DSH and again approximately one year later. SETTING: A representative sample of 139 DSH patients presenting to a district general hospital. METHOD: Patients were interviewed shortly after DSH and at follow-up about GP contacts, prescribed medication and psychiatric symptoms. RESULTS: At the time of DSH, 91.4% of patients were diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder (depression 69.8%), with 28% receiving treatment from psychiatric services. Two-thirds of patients had been in contact with their GP in the month before DSH, but only 13.3% reported expressing suicidal thoughts. Patients consulted their GP in the week following DSH in 40.6% of cases. Over half (57.9%) the patients discussed the reasons for their DSH at the first consultation and 69.5% reported that this was helpful. Overall, 64.3% of patients were satisfied with the follow-up consultations. CONCLUSIONS: The major role of the GP in the prevention of suicidal behaviour is in the detection and treatment of depression, and in the aftercare of DSH patients.

Sleep is a fascinating topic. There are so many interesting facts about sleep that we know nothing about. Below are just a few fun facts about sleep:
Did you know that humans are the only creatures capable of delaying sleep? It never occurs to other animals to do this. Ironically, man is also the only animal interested in facts about sleeping.
Here's another sleeping fact: Eighty percent of people surveyed admit that they have, at one time or another, misused prescription sleeping aids. Caffeine is the enemy of sleep. People know this, yet it is the most popular drug in the world. A sleep fact is that coffee, tea, cocoa and caffeinated soft drinks may be causing people of all ages to have trouble sleeping. One in every three people who drink more than three caffeinated drinks a day are at risk for sleep apnea.
Exercise makes sleeping easier but an interesting fact about sleep is that those who exercise immediately before bedtime actually have difficulty falling asleep. They need a quiet period after exercise before going to bed.
Another enemy of sleep is nowadays is the bedroom. With laptop, iPod, iPad, cell phone, TV and DVD player, today's bedroom has turned into a recreation room. No wonder it's hard to get to sleep. Sleep fact: get all that stuff out of the bedroom. It distracts from sleep. Your bedroom is for sleeping not watching TV or playing video games!
Read related article: Adjustable Bed Reviews: Guide In Choosing The Best Adjustable Bed
Here's another fact about sleeping: You may have difficulty sleeping because you live too high up. That's right. Research has shown that sleep disturbance becomes greater when you live at altitudes of over 13,000 feet above sea level. Investigators think this might be because of diminished oxygen levels that cause changes in respiration. Many people adjust to altitude changes in two to three weeks—but not everyone.
For a good health for every organism, sleep is as important as a good diet and exercise. Shift workers are evidence of the importance of a sound sleep lasting eight hours. Shift workers have a higher risk of cardiovascular and gastric diseases because their sleep patterns are disrupted and they consistently do not get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. People who consistently get less than six hours or more than ten hours of undisturbed sleep have shorter life spans. Eight hours seems to be the ideal. No matter what people—often teenagers—tell you about not needing much sleep, don't listen to them. They are wrong. There are some tricks to encouraging sleep: Wear ear plugs or a sleep mask or black out curtains to make your room dark and quiet. Get into a routine of always going to bed at the same time. Have your room cool and have good ventilation like an open window.
The sleep of ninety million Americans is disturbed by snoring to some extent. Nearly forty million people say snoring frequently disturbs their sleep. Snoring is an indicator of sleep apnea, brief moments when you forget to breathe. Sleep apnea can have serious health repercussions.
Here's another frightening sleep fact: An America poll revealed that sixty percent of drivers have driven while drowsy. Over thirty-five percent of American drivers admitted to falling asleep while driving. This includes 20% of airline pilots, almost 20% of train engineers and fifteen per cent of truck drivers.Four percent have been involved in an accident because they fell asleep at the wheel. Adults under thirty are the group most likely to drive when drowsy. Men are slightly more likely to drive drowsy. Over 70% of people who drive to work drive drowsy. Here's another interesting fact about sleep: Driving drowsy causes lapses in driver judgement. Forty-two percent of those polled admitted they become stressed. Over thirty percent became impatient and nearly fifteen percent drove too fast.

Sleeping facts indicate that sleep deprivation alters every aspect of your life from effectiveness at work or school or good decision making, ability to sustain a relationship with family and friends right to libido. Lack of sleep lowers your sex drive.
Lack of sleep and weight gain have been shown to have a high correlation. The less you sleep, the more your genes combine to make you gain weight. Lack of sleep can raise your sensation of feeling hungry by 25%.

Investigation update to the accident that occurred on 15 September 2006, near Nantes, France
The aircraft was dispatched under the provisions of the operator's Minimum Equipment List with the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) generator on line, substituting for the No 1 main generator which had been selected off after a fault on the previous flight had caused it to trip off line. During the cruise, the APU generator disconnected from the system, probably because of a reccurrence of the original fault. This caused the loss of a substantial number of aircraft services, including some flight instruments and all means of radio telephony (RTF) communication. Manual reconfiguration of the electrical system should have recovered many of the services but the flight crew was not able to achieve this. Since they were without RTF communications, the crew considered that the best option was to select the emergency transponder code and continue the flight in accordance with the flight plan.
In the light of the initial findings of the investigation, four safety recommendations are made. The investigation is continuing.

I Was a Teenage Community Board Member
September 8th, 2009, 3:33 pm
There was a time in New York when the appointment of a young person to a community board made the headlines (or close to it). That was back in 1977, when the word "planning" was still a part of the term to describe the 50-member, unsalaried community boards that represent the city's 59 districts (there were 62 boards in 1977). Current Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is a case in point. His commitment to public service spans three decades. Appointed to Manhattan Community Board 12 (Washington Heights/Inwood) at the age of 16, Stringer learned the value of public participation and community involvement at an early age.
In a 1977 interview with the New York Times, a then-teenaged Stringer already had ideas for his community: "My board could be supportive of after-school programs and at least get a committee going — go into schools and organize activities like escort service for old people, cleaning up the parks and all sorts of things (sic)."
Like Borough President Stringer, many young New Yorkers have ideas for their community and are anxious to participate in civic life. Although he broke barriers with his teenaged appointment and as Borough President, has even appointed young community board members himself and considers diverse participation part of a larger puzzle to reform and empower community boards, there are still very few young people serving on community boards throughout the city.
While most community boards have a youth committee which focuses on issues relating to young people, and some boards, like Brooklyn Community Board 14 (Flatbush) actively connect youth to jobs and educational opportunities, few community boards cultivate youth participation during meetings. There are notable exceptions, however. Bronx Community Board 7, hosting two CITI Youth interns for the first time this past year, count on their participation and presented the students with awards at the final board meeting in July. Bronx Community Board 5 sought the participation of their CITI Youth interns in the important 197-a Committee, which was organized to create a comprehensive neighborhood plan. And Queens Community Board 1, in Astoria, valued the participation of their CITI Youth intern so much that he was appointed to the board in 2007, at age 18. Legislation now pending in Albany would ensure that teens as young as 16 could fully participate as community board members.

Barbara's Macaroni and Cheese
-Barbara Kinney
This mac and cheese is such a hit in the family. I love it because not only is it tasty, but it's super simple, too.
1 box (16 oz) pasta (I use rigatoni because I think it's the best on the planet)
1 jar spaghetti sauce (my stepmom uses Ragu, I use Hunt's in a jar 'cause I'm cheap that way)
1 package (2 cups) shredded shart cheddar
1 package (2 cups) shredded mozzerella
Cook the pasta. I undercook it a little so it doesn't get too mushy during the baking. Drain. Add the sauce and cheeses and mix it all together. I usually put this in a big aluminum casserole pan (the deep kind). Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on if you want some of your pasta on top to have a little crunch or not.
It doesn't seem like a lot to me (we make a pound of spaghetti all the time for dinner and we just plow through it), but tonight one pan fed 4 adults and 8 kids. Guess that second pan I made for dinner will just have to be my lunch tomorrow. Life it tough that way.
Everyone loves this, even Josh, my non-cheese eater.

"My concept is inspired from the yachting industry and millitary vessels design.", Lucian says.
Lucian adds that the design was also inspired by his fascination for the zeppelins which transported passengers across the Atlantic in a luxurious and romantic manner at the beginning of the last century.
The airship is 100 m lenght and would offer the yacht's owner the chance to gain different perspectif will sailing the Mediterranean, for example.
The owner can leave the yacht and spent a couple of days flying above to ocean--or have dinner floating above the bay of Monaco--before returning to deck.
Lucian says the elegance and tranquility that cruise liners and airships offerd at the beginning on the 20th century has been lost.
He wants Dare to Dream to give its owner a feeling of old fashioned elegance.
How long before Dare to Dream takes to the high seas?

Troubled Asset Relief Program:
Capital Purchase Program Largely Has Wound Down
GAO-16-524: Published: May 6, 2016. Publicly Released: May 6, 2016.

What GAO Found
The Capital Purchase Program (CPP) largely has wound down and the Department of the Treasury's (Treasury) returns on CPP investments surpassed the original amount disbursed. As of February 29, 2016, Treasury had received $226.7 billion in repayments and income from its CPP investments, exceeding the amount originally disbursed by almost $22 billion. As of the same date, 16 of the 707 institutions remained in the program. Treasury's most recent estimate of lifetime income for CPP (as of Nov. 30, 2015) was about $16 billion.
Status of the Capital Purchase Program, as of February 29, 2016
Most of the remaining CPP institutions have continued to exhibit signs of financial weakness. Specifically, 9 of the 16 institutions had negative returns on average assets (a common measure of profitability) in 2015. Also, 6 institutions had a lower return on assets in 2015 than they did at the end of 2011. Treasury officials stated that the remaining CPP firms generally had weaker capital levels and worse asset quality than firms that had exited the program. Also, nearly all the firms that are required to pay dividends have continued to miss payments.
Treasury expects most remaining CPP institutions to exit through restructurings but has not set time frames for winding down the program. Over the past 6 years, repayment of Treasury's investment and Treasury's auction of CPP securities to interested investors were the primary means by which institutions exited CPP. Restructurings—the expected exit method for the remaining firms—allow institutions to negotiate terms for their investments and require institutions to raise new capital or merge with another institution. With this option, Treasury agrees to receive cash or other securities, typically at a discount. Treasury officials expect to rely primarily on restructurings because the overall financial condition of the remaining institutions makes full repayment unlikely.
Why GAO Did This Study
CPP was established as the primary means of restoring stability to the financial system under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Under CPP, Treasury invested almost $205 billion in 707 eligible financial institutions between October 2008 and December 2009. CPP recipients have made dividend and interest payments to Treasury on the investments. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 includes a provision that GAO report at least every 60 days on TARP activities. This report examines (1) the status of CPP, (2) the financial condition of institutions remaining in the program, and (3) Treasury's strategy for winding down the program.
To assess the program's status, GAO reviewed Treasury reports on the status of CPP. In addition, GAO used financial and regulatory data to assess the financial condition of institutions remaining in CPP. Finally, GAO interviewed Treasury officials to examine the agency's exit strategy for the program.
GAO provided a draft of this report to Treasury for its review and comment. Treasury provided technical comments that GAO incorporated as appropriate.

There aren't very many actresses who have received an Oscar nomination for their performance in a comedy, especially within the past decade. Melissa McCarthy was an absolute riot in the hit Bridesmaids and even delivers plenty of laughs to TV audiences in Mike & Molly. Under Seth Gordon's direction, she now stars in the latest comedy called Identity Thief. There has been a massive campaign behind this picture, making McCarthy's involvement the focal point, but don't be fooled into thinking that this is the next Bridesmaids. While this comedy won't be leaving theaters rolling in laughter, it will certainly deliver some laughs and even a little bit of heart.
Mild-mannered Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) is a successful man with a great job and a loving family. However, his life begins to fall apart when a deceptively harmless-looking woman, Diana (Melissa McCarthy), steals his identity. She spends large amounts of his money and commits numerous crimes under his name, which gets him in trouble at work and with law enforcement. Sandy departs on a journey from Denver to Miami to take Diana to the police in order to clear his name and get his life back. It doesn't take long for Sandy to discover just how clever Diana can be.
Screenwriter Craig Mazin doesn't waste a moment, as he instantly jumps into the bulk of the story. Sandy Patterson gets himself into a lot of trouble after he gives a substantial amount of his personal information out to a woman over the phone. The audience is kept in the dark as to who Diana really is. While we know that nearly every word that comes out of her mouth is a lie, we're constantly trying to figure out who this character truly is. She's quickly identified as the antagonist of the film, but we learn that there's a lot more to her persona than just a sly criminal. She begins to open herself up a little bit as she spends more time with Sandy. Despite the unfortunate reasons for these characters having to meet, they learn a lot of values from each other through this eventful adventure. Identity Thief often plays with the irony of a thief and her morals.
While the main characters are a blast on screen, the same cannot be said about the events unfolding around them. Sandy and Diana are constantly being pursued by hit men, which hurts the dynamic of the picture. This was a lazy way to create the inevitable climax, which could have easily been carried out solely by the leads. The second and third acts of the film spend too much time on these "supporting" roles, as the filmmakers attempt to create a game of "cat and mouse," which constantly feels awkward and out of place. They don't aid in developing the characters, and they don't generate many jokes. Instead of dedicating any screen time to these subplots, perhaps Mazin should have trusted his primary roles and developed their journey to the fullest extent. This could have transformed a decent movie into a much stronger motion picture.
Despite the over-the-top and unnecessary subplots, the second half of the running time is quite a bit funnier than everything preceding it. Without giving too much away, Sandy and Diana experience some hilarious situations, especially the one found in the woods at night. A lot of the jokes have been heard before, but they're used in an original context, which works on a "hit-and-miss" basis. While I found myself chuckling on multiple occasions, there should have been more big laughs. Towards the end of the movie, the audience begins to grow a lot closer to Sandy and Diana. Identity Thief incorporates dramatic elements and makes us genuinely care about what happens to the main characters, even though we can predict every plot point they encounter. Screenwriter Craig Mazin provides a couple of characters that viewers will be able to easily connect with.
This film wouldn't have worked without this particular cast. Jason Bateman delivers a solid performance as Sandy Patterson. He's convincing in the role, as he easily relates to the audience as an ordinary man going through a difficult situation. Melissa McCarthy is the absolute star of this movie. She fills Diana's character to the brim with the same charm and charisma that got her popular in the first place. Her delivery elevates average dialogue to something audiences will find rather funny. McCarthy has quite a bit of comedic chemistry with Bateman, which makes them a great match on screen. However, she also manages to draw viewers in through the more emotional moments the story has to offer. There are a variety of entertaining cameos offered by Eric Stonestreet, Jon Favreau, Ben Falcone, Ellie Kemper, and others. This is an excellent cast that makes this script much more appealing than it would have been with other actors.
There isn't anything particularly outstanding about Identity Thief, but the cast does what they can with it. While I enjoyed the film, it should have been funnier, which could have happened if the story wasn't distorted to make room for unnecessary subplots. Writer Craig Mazin puts a small dose of confidence in his characters towards the end of the film, when he allows the story to express more emotions, which worked in the picture's favor. Identity Thief isn't the raging comedy audiences are expecting, but there's enough here to make this worth a light recommendation. Viewers will get the most out of this picture by experiencing it with an audience.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.10, Core i5, Nvidia GTX 550 Ti, 8GB Ram and I have a problem.
Whenever I minimize a windows, the animation starts but the window in the animation has no contents, so basically, the contents of the window vanishes and the border of the window follows the animation.
Not only that but sometimes when unminimizing windows, the animations work fine, but the window contents will be black, and the only way to rectify is to minimize (animation works) and then unminimize again. After that the animation stops working properly again.
It's really bizarre and I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

It appears Khloe Kardashian may have a new man in her life!
The 32-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians starlet has been spotted with Cleveland Cavaliers star Tristan Thompson quite a bit as of late.
According to TMZ, the rumored couple have been seen on a variety of outings, and were photographed leaving the same nightclub just minutes apart earlier this month.
Kardashian hasn't commented on the status of their relationship, but she has made it known in the past that she has a penchant for athletes.
Considering Khloe's outgoing nature, we feel it might not be long until she mentions Tristan on social media, whether they're dating or not.

Evaluating stem rust-affected and healthy wheat surges
Image by CIMMYT
Wheat surges affected by stem corrosion (Puccinia graminis) (left), when compared to fairly healthier surges (right). The surges that have been suffering from stem rust tend to be thin and vacant and are also mostly chaff, with very little whole grain.
The fungi resulting in the condition may be the virulent Ug99 race of stem rust. This was found in Uganda in 1999 and it is today endemic in the area. This has currently triggered extreme losings in epidemics internationally, as it's capable overcome the resistance of popular wheat varieties. As part of a worldwide energy, CIMMYT is dealing with the Kenya Agricultural analysis Institute (KARI) to display tens and thousands of grain outlines at its Njoro research place yearly to identify sourced elements of durable opposition and test resistant lines.

text: Hi I need a quote for a "Swing Tag" - basically a small 4pp booklet to be attached to clothing. The specs are: 4pp folded to a finished size of 60x80mm, 4 colour, one 3mm hole punched through the top centre (of each page) to allow for attaching to clothes, gloss stock (open to suggestions on weight) and delivery to Alton, Hampshire. Quantity would be 200 to start with, and then further runs of 100 (as the clothes are sold), although if a price for 1000 is not that different use that as a quantity and we'll get them all done at once. Hopefully this is enough information, if you need anything else please let me know. Thanks David

Hardwood Flooring: Wear and Tear
LESLIE: Now we're going to chat with Kelly in Texas who has a flooring issue. Tell us what's going on?KELLY: My wife had some bamboo floors installed in a new house. And they're dark, about three-inch-wide slats, they're real long. And they've been in about two years and we've noticed that on the edges – they seem to be forming a ridge along the edge. This is throughout the house; not in one location. My wife is very concerned that there's water under the house. And I think maybe it was something – maybe the installation, the glue is not holding. But we're just looking for ideas.TOM: So these three-inch-wide boards are solid bamboo; they're not engineered?LESLIE: It's not a bamboo veneer on top or something?KELLY: No, they are solid bamboo because they actually had some slats out in the garage; some extra ones.TOM: (overlapping voices) Right. And when you say the edges are curling, I mean wood doesn't usually curl; it'll cut.KELLY: It's not – they're just like ridges where they're – you know, side by side you can just see where they've kind of – they're just – it's very subtle.TOM: (overlapping voices) Right.KELLY: I'm thinking if you run your hand across it, you can just feel this little edge. And also, it's starting to wear. You know, that's where it's starting to – you can see some wear there where it's in the middle (inaudible at 0:14:10.4).TOM: (overlapping voices) Well, Kelly, you're going to get some wear and tear on the floor now that it's a couple of years old and you're also going to get expansion and contraction. So I wonder if what you're seeing here is the normal gaps that form in any type of a plank floor. When they put it in, it looks nice and tight; but then, as it starts to shrink and expand and shrink and expand, eventually the boards separate and you get spaces and then you get dirt in the spaces and – you know, it can …LESLIE: Things become more obvious.TOM: Yeah, exactly. I wouldn't expect bamboo to do any curling whatsoever because you can't really get a more moisture-resistant piece of wood than bamboo. That's very tough stuff.KELLY: OK.TOM: I mean you could soak that in a bathtub for a week and it probably won't change its shape whatsoever.KELLY: So we can just call this patina and not worry about it.LESLIE: (overlapping voices) Mm-hmm. I mean you might …TOM: (overlapping voices) Yeah, that's right. That's right. It's charm.KELLY: That sounds great.LESLIE: Kelly, you might also want to just reach out to the manufacturer and perhaps shoot them a photo of what's going on with the floor. They'll probably confirm that it's the same issue going on but who knows? Perhaps the year that you bought the flooring there was a manufacturer defect and …TOM: Or with the finish.LESLIE: Yes, something that could warrant replacement or they'll say, "Nope, that's just natural wear and tear" or "You've got an installation issue and you should seek out some sort of recourse with that person."TOM: But I definitely think your wife is spending too much time staring at the floor.LESLIE: (overlapping voices) Looking at the floor.KELLY: OK, yeah. (Tom chuckles) It is subtle.LESLIE: (overlapping voices) Maybe she wants new shoes.TOM: OK. Kelly, good luck with that project. Thanks so much for calling us at 1-888-MONEY-PIT.
