It isn't Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you
Allan Ivarsson NSW Australia - "No Islam!" says
I agree mates! Global Warmimg/Climate Change is not man made; climate change is a natural cycle that as yet we humans do not understand that well. The planet has experienced many climate changes hot and cold for millions of years. Unfortunately our inferior thinking backstabbing Australian Puppet Prime Minister Gillard thinks that global warming is man-made. The bitch hit all Australians in July 2012 with a 'Carbon Tax' which is financially hurting Australian Industry and all Aussie Battlers. Gillard opened the gates and allows Muslim boat invaders to pour into country. And gives half a billion dollars to Indonesian Muslim schools that teach hatred of all infidel Australians. Gillard is truly an enemy of all Australians.

ruth cohen says
shuik is the market place mahana yehuda
man is pouring poisons into the atmosphere every day, huge damage is being done by man that has never existed before. the damage in japn for instance is huge and spreading to all the world and poisoning many there.
dont under estimate mans destructive powers.
there is a spiritual connection i danced in the rain scream ing for hashem to bring destruction on the wicked who protect the pedophles here. and we got this huge wind that was so fierce and the snow and a lot of damage. god heard my prayers. i know it.
as it is written if your sins are red as blood they will become white as snow. asiah . th is is true. connection. we are spiritual beings not only here for coca cola and a empty plastic life on nothinginess.
my garden here brings huge energy i created gan eden. a little gan eden . it changed the energy.we affect the world. we can destroy or create with our words and actions.
manu tripathi says
Israel my love.
Paris Claims says
Man made global warming is, of course, total bollox. Just about everything the left believe in can be classified as total bollox.That said, I wouldn't mind too much if the mean temperature rose a degree or two, the UK would probably benefit, and a few million muslims might get roasted.
marcia says
Strange how "GREEN" Gore was before he chose to sell his cable TV station to ARAB/MUSLIM OIL MAGNATES!
NikitaAnne says
Global warming or climate change as it's now called is as real as Obama's Christianity. Scientists were screaming about the dangers of an impending ice age a few decades ago and now the opposite, supported by blatant liberal lies in order to gain more power and money.
Sujith says
Warmer summer , more Ice melting in the arctics , higher sea levels , colder
winters, snow in Jerusalem are all linked to global warming..
I can expand on this and the scientific reasons why , but its not worth trying to
explain or convince anyone who may not want to or incapable of understanding it.
Its like trying to convince folks that Islam is evil but vast majority is still
not convinced inspite of mountain loads of evidence.
BareNakedIslam says
Sujith, we don't disagree that there is global warming and global cooling, but it is not caused by man.
ruth cohen says
based on what do you make this amazing claim- ihave a perfectly marvelous brain that works just fine and i observe in my lifetime that man is destroying the world as fast as he can.
anti biotics are pumped into the food industry and we are now facing anti biotic backlashses. we had a brilliant scientist friend in south africa a real genius. he would not have sex with a woman who took anti biotics from the damage that caused . that was not mentioned ever. and that iwas before aids. he knew the damage.
we are poisoning the world everyday with so many poisons. in our paint, in our walls, in our food. and this does destroys among other things creativity and the brain and sperm. . that is why so many now are so braindead and stupid and robots. and so many vicious brain diseases and depressions. from the garbage we eat. the more colour you eat in your diet, from veggies and fruits the more your brain is creative and works.
not only is tv and violent video games turning our children into a fat blobs of in-action and the only action is beating and raping other kids. it was so good to play in the snow . we were all playing. like kids. thank god israelis are like kids in so many ways. not so decadent as the west.
we have killed the weather. you have no idea what the agencies like the cia and army are really up to. the real purpose of their games and exercises. the world is awash with chemicals weapons and evil men ready to destroy millions
japan has caused huge damage to the entire world. they are dying in japn from the posion and will continue to do so for a long time. they are all poisoned. all of them. and its spreading through the seas to america. just the media shuts up the story.
so who is doing the damage if its not men, little green men from mars. no we are filthing up our nest all by ourselves. how many times people throw ciagettes into pot plants. why they are wicked and want to kill not only themselves, and their children, and my children, even the plants. even the p lants they want to destroy.
rabbi kahana said this …. i weep because we have undone the almighty's creation. we have rejoined darkness and light and created confusion. in the end we undo the heavens and earth. 11 april 1980.
that is why my little gan eden garden here is so important. recreating eden and many others have done so just because of my garden. taking a few little clippings and making another gan eden. that is the only way to save the world to make gan eden all over in any way you can to fight against the darkness and greed and corruption.
talking about if man created the damage or not is a waste of time. the earth is going to vomit most of us because we have raped and destroyed her and shed so much blood on her. let the earth speak foolish man and listen to her voice. hurricanes, torandos,floods, fire, not enough to give you a clue of the fury of the earth. we have to tickle her to bring her produce forth and we pour our poisons into her daily to kill our mother the earth.
so make a tikkun fix the mess, rescue mother earth or we will die together – well not me. i am planning to live forever. many more gardens to make and more art to create the good kind. the beatiful kind. angels and fairies and pretty innocence things to balance the pure filth and vulgar garbage coming out today.
BareNakedIslam says
Ruth, In the whole universal scheme of things we are but a pimple on a flea. We have been thru ice ages and the total melting thereof, when none of us were around to drive SUVs or dump cigarette butts on the street. Mars is warming now and there are no humans there. So all the disasters you blame on mankind have less than nothing to do with global warming or climate change. Climates change because of the Sun's influence and there is nothing we can do about it.
You are very religious, Ruth, and attribute many things that happen on earth, both good and bad to God. So why are you leaving God out of the climate change equation now?
But you keep planting your flowers and recycling your soda cans, and buying shitty energy efficient cars, that kill more people because they are so light, so you can feel good about yourself that you are somehow helping the environment. I will not. And I take pleasure in not separating my garbage items from plastic bottles and tin. It all goes in one bag which I throw down the garbage shoot in my building, along with all my newspapers that I refuse to leave in the newspaper bin. The only thing I separate is my mail to make sure none of the Green Nazis go thru my trash looking for who didn't follow the stupid environmentalist/fascist rules. BTW environmentalism is the new Communism.
After I finish my big plastic bottle of water, I am going out to get me some guns – illegally – because our fascist Mayor makes it nearly impossible to get one in NYC.
ruth cohen says
i am not a liberal or a fool . i do not like the plastic world and do not believe the plastic lies of saving bottles saving the world. nonsense. i do not drive a car. i know what is really going on.,
yes there are things out of mans control that affect the weather. of course.and gods plans are out of our understanding. for sure.
however if we dirty our nest we destroy so much not only animals going out of existance. i do my garden because i was born on this land doing this. growing things and vegtablies on moshav habonim. its my fun
i also have had many hardships in my life and dont do drugs and drink. my way to cope is to grow green plants and heal myself. i hate doctors they have destroyed my health.
BareNakedIslam says
Ruth, then I don't see that we disagree on much on this issue. So what were you talking about?
Pinkcadlac, All-American, American says
Maybe you can "expand" on the emails between "scientists" which detailed their collusion in perpetuating this man-made warming myth.
We are certainly CAPABLE of understanding facts, though we do possess some state of the art bullshit detectors.
Sujith says
Pinkcadlac, All-American, American ,
Ok , let say its not man made . Then whats causing global warming ?
Or is it global cooling that is making the arctics , the himalayan , the Alps Ice melt faster than never before ?
And why do you think American are getting sick of diseases that was
normally spread by insects in tropics ? Is it global cooling ?
Some data did not tally does not mean everything is perfect..
And I know the bullsh*it meter was working very well when obama was voted in.
Pinkcadlac, All-American, American says
"What's causing 'global warming?'"
Maybe some of the same processes that precipitated the end of the last ice age…
How about all the filthy third -world trash that's washing up on our shores?
Data? "Not tallying," and deliberate concealment/misrepresentation of fact, are worlds apart.
Bullshit meter?
I said that we at BNI have state of the art bullshit detectors. Everyone KNOWS that 50% of the population in the States, as well as worldwide, is incapable of critical thinking. Hence, the continuing obama disaster.
Sujith says
" Maybe some of the same processes that precipitated the end of the last ice age… "
Can you explain what processes ? If you don't know then you are just shooting in the dark , hoping to explain . That's not a scientific./ logical explanation.
And I also noticed you conveniently side stepped answering
factual position regarding excess melting of Ice in arctics.
that has not happened since over 100,000 years , so why
is it happening now ?
Its based on ground realities and space imaginary. No body
can fudge this data.
Any explanation ?
Arwen says
I enjoy the pictures. Look I do not claim to be a scientist expert I am not prideful enough to be able to give the the exact date the earth has been around. I can not give you details but we know the earth's climate has changed in it's history. The time there was dinosaurs or the time it was cold and we know of animals such as the direwolf, mammoth, etc lived. So to say there is man made glodal warming is a big assumption. The world is also smaller in that diseases wash up from our shores from third world contries Or even foreign animals changing the ecosystem. For example a person in florida wanting a exotic pet and got a burmese python (for example). The snale becomes to big or they getting tired of their burnese python and let it lose and it does not die in the everglades. This can be something expanded on but the Bible does have verses that mention winter and snow.
Pinkcadlac, All-American, American says
Sujith- No sidestepping here. I don't need to explain the science of how and why the earth's climate has, and continues to "CYCLE." In fact, as I am not an earth sciences major, I could not explain the specifics of the naturally occurring processes which cause our planet to heave up volcanoes, cool, warm, spin and tilt. Nonetheless, these things occur.
Can YOU detail, without room for doubt, why our planet changes from moment to moment? Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean you should pile onto the lib-tard's
"Humans suck, so we're going to regulate-and-control-you-to -death" wagon.
Of course, you are free to do so, but be sure to take all-weather attire with you… because the one thing we do know about the weather is…you never know about the weather.
BNI's site is about the evils of islam.
We CAN see the direct correlation between islamic actions and the resulting devastation upon us humans. We have 1400 years of a crystal clear cause/effect relationship, which we can study, teach, and learn from. We CAN do something about islam's destructive march across the planet.
There are plenty of sites out there, where you can go to argue for Al Gore's transparent brand of massive public control and extortion.
AquaticSoda says
Nice to see them to have something to SMILE about, for a change. 🙂
Pinkcadlac, All-American, American says
Beautiful Pics! Don't show them to Al Gore!
BareNakedIslam says
Hi Pink, they think they are covered if they don't call it Global Warming anymore but Climate Change, as if that is a rare atmospheric occurrence caused by man. Amazing how many morons buy this crap.
Pinkcadlac, All-American, American says
Hi B! Yep!
If the weather is cold and snowy in winter (!) it is because of my car and your cattle.
If the weather is warm and rainy in the summer(!) it's a result of using fuel to keep warm during the winter!
When will they ever just "shaddup" about it?
BareNakedIslam says
Pink, not as long as so many of them are making big bucks from the farce.
Ex-Muslim Hass says
This is my first time of seeing snow there too.
Arjay says
Dear BNI:
Whatever part of the world I found myself in- usually the weather was bad (just my kind of luck). I never saw people who would cover/protect their hats in bad weather, but not the rest of themselves. The Hasidic Jewish men who didn't have umbrellas; but still protected their beloved hats… cool!
Seeing these Jewish residents of Jerusalem being carefree, enjoying themselves and those wonderful smiles! Loved the Israeli snowman- I think its the first one I've ever seen. Thank you, for these images Bonni- they're great! Jerusalem covered in snow!
BareNakedIslam says
Arjay, I kind of like the snowman in the last picture, holding a beer bottle.
ICE says
Saw several pics. Light snow eveywhere look great.
Linda Rivera says
Beautiful pics!
gatouno says
Fair enough. Will use "sarc off" in case of need. I'd suggest I'm about as far from a loon and as far from left wing as anyone in your blog audience. Also think you are doing a huge service by promulgating this website. Few have the courage — or, for that matter, the knowledge, to do such a thing.
Incidental re MMGW — one of the greatest reads ever is "KRAKATOA" by Simon Winchester. Anyone who can read this book and still think humans are in charge of the climate, is a rigid ideologue in the middle of a brain freeze.
BareNakedIslam says
gato, glad to have you here.
gatouno says
I recognize that I am the only commenter on this post.
My comment is clearly sarcastic and an attempt to mock the MMGW enthusiasts, who often find themselves proclaiming that cold weather is due to global warming (admittedly nothing to do with Islam).
P.S. These photos are great! Gatouno visited Jerusalem the first time in 1952, again in 1967 (3 months after the 7 day war) and again in 1970 (so long ago…), but never saw sights like this. Joyful.
BareNakedIslam says
gato, then please disregard my last post. You are new here and we don't know when you are kidding or being sarcastic yet.
gatouno says
Sorry! I thought it was pretty obvious. If the kooks who believe mere humans have anything much to say about the cosmos weren't so dangerous, they'd be hilarious!
BareNakedIslam says
gato, we get all kinds of left wing loons here, who do support those ideas. Until people get to know you, it's a good idea to put (sarc off) after the post so we know it was tongue in cheek.
Lenin-McCarthy says
Not unusual. It snows there periodically.
SM ISAC says
God must be joking.
SM ISAC says
It's delightful!
gatouno says
This can only be explained by man-made global warming. You people who can't understand that the more global warming there is, the colder Jerusalem gets, just can't get the basics through your heads. There is no sense in my trying to use logic and science to force you to see the light; but maybe you can at least memorize the formula: MMGW = CJ. How could it be more straightforward??
BareNakedIslam says
gata, there is no such thing as man made global warning. If you think so, why has there been warming on Mars in the last few years. If you insist on advocating for man made global warming, you are not welcome here. You belong on the Daily Kos.
ADHD says
On "Yahoo!", I've been attacked as getting my information and history from "hate sites" – as if the Communist concept of "political correctness" is the "greatest thing since sliced bread"!!!!!
Too many "Westerners" are more than amply ripe to become true Communists – and enough of them have so become without truly even realising it!!!! There is no question that Islam + Communism will mean THE most totalitarian system imaginable – THE Antichrist of ALL systems…
Almighty God, PLEASE Deliver us from these days, we beseech thee Good Lord…
BareNakedIslam says
ADHD, my site IS a hate site. And all the hate is directed at us from the Muslims.
ADHD says
Right you are, Ms. BNI!!!! Mind you, I don't think of this Website as a "hate site": the truth MUST transcend all considerations of nicety!!! When the truth is "ugly", so be it: that's what distinguishes us real people from the Moslem Untermenschen and their colleagues in totalitarianism like Stáljin, Hitler, Mao and the rest of that MONSTROUS BUNCH!!!!!
We know the truth: if it means we must be labelled as "haters" merely because we defend the truth, that in itself shows us what we're up against – and it makes our cause that much nobler and worth fighting for!!!! All the more reason for us to NEVER, EVER surrender!!!!!
Keep up the good work as much as ever, and God Be With you and everybody else here who knows the real truth!!!!
Pavelina says
Thank you! very beautiful. Esp. the first shot; it's Christmas-card-worthy.

ruth cohen says
oh it was glorious glorious . i was out early and my newly married neighbours came out and where playing like little kids. our area is full of snowmen and children and people walking around with camers and i phones. i took videos and cant get them posted onto my facebook. as soon as i fix the problem you will see my part of the world. it was glorious. i was singing jerusalem of white to the
tune of jerusalem of gold and people were singing with me in the streets.
everyone was relaxed and making jokes. and filming – the tree here lost another branch again. tangled up in the electricty . lots of damge with falling trees and many without electricity.
we went to the shuik and i walked ahead of shmuel. he is such a complainer and it drives me mad . as he walked up to me i pelted him mercilessly with snow balls and told him he has to stop complaining and say thank you for every one. he got hit in his nose and it hurt. every time he whined it hurt i said well keep your nose out of my business and stop whining or i will turn you into breslev and you will dance in the streets if you dont stop whining.that is when he gives up and starts laughing. got great video of us two in the shuik . really funny.
so we walked around the shuik. some young girls were pelting everyone with snow balls from above on a balcony. everyone had fun. it was just so much fun. everyone was laughing.the yeshiva boys speaking yiddish were making snow wars and the little kids and the big kids. it was glorious , we had so much fun.
now its all turned into slush very dangerous. i refused to let shmuel go to bet knesset its too dangerous and he has diabetes and not the right shoes, he cannot sit one hour with wet feet that is how they lose their legs. so we went and snuggled up in the warm bed instead, it was heavenly. warm with snow and everyone outside laughing and joking. and a wood fire in the house.
actually shmuel is very very funny we need to do a act together. he is fast and quick and has amazing word play.; i am always roaring with laughter. he says i make elephants crazy so i got a hat with elephants on it. sigh. jerusalem. the best.
BareNakedIslam says
Ruth, sounds like you had a great time. What is a shuik?
marcia says
I'm mixed with tears of joy and anger for you and Schmuel…I too am glad he did not go and spent that special time with you! It takes sooo little to bring old/young, orthodox/secular of Israel together and happy for just a FEW fleeting moments. Until the ground shakes again to remind you that Israel will always be a target and be watched over by Hashem. Shalom.
dragonfFIRE01 says
snow is beautiful ;and coveras lot of ugliness
BLR says
Goodie now i know where to sell that set of snow tires that don't fit anything i got anymore !
Susan K says
Exactly. There's no global warming. There is a change in the climate worldwide that tends to favor 'cooling'. Alaska has been cooling. As to heatwaves, notice they always say last record heatwave was registered in the 1950s…
For Jerusalem, the last time they had snow was twenty years ago. Therefore, climate is a cycle.
alkidya says
Snow brings out the child inside all of us…love it!

Yeah, PB off would work, but at that point you might as well hack away with everything because nothing is stopping anyone else from doing it.
I can think of 2 solutions for this. Figure out how to enable AA in BC2 (which uses deferred rendering I think, so this is unlikely). I heard STALKER, also deferred rendering, got a forceware patch to force it in the control panel, but I dunno.
AA breaks PBSS somehow.
Other solution is finding out why the lod bias doesn't work in DX10. Maybe hit up the Riva Tuner or nHancer forums for such a solution.

People have been getting hiccups since the beginning of time. Here are some sure-fire cures passed down through the generations:
Pull your ring finger.
An early English remedy calls for pulling the ring finger of the hiccup-stricken person, the minute the hiccups start.
Who is talking about you?
It was once believed that hiccups are caused by someone talking about you. If you guess who it is, the hiccups will stop.
There is a story about Aristophanes who had to make an after dinner speech at the home of another Athenian playwright some 500 years before Christ. As the moment approached, the nervous playwright got the hiccups.
He turned to another guest, a well-known physician and said. "Either you have to (hiccup) make my speech or cure (hiccup) my hiccups."
The medic told him to hold his breath and drink some water. That failing, he next told him to tickle his nose with a feather adding, "If you sneeze once or twice even the most violent hiccup is sure to go." Whether the doctor gave the speech is not known – but both cures are still stock remedies.
Another remedy was to terrify the person inflicted. Perhaps this one grew out of the fact that many primitive people believed that hiccups were caused by demons entering the person and that the only way to get rid of them was to scare them to death. Sometimes this method actually works.
In the Ozarks, the popular cure is to stand on one leg and recite:
"Hick-up. stick-up. lick-up. hick-up." five times on the same breath. Other people simplify the prescription by merely holding their breath and counting to ten, or holding theie breath and swallowing seven times, or visualizing seven bald-headed men.
Other surefire remedies include drinking water from a glass covered with a paper towel, taking a spoonful of sugar, or saying the Lord's Prayer backwards. Some of these cures evidently are based on the old ruse of getting the person to concentrate on something so completely and wholeheartedly different that he forgets the hiccups and they automatically disappear.
What works for you? Tell us in the comments below!

Things people should never do at their work place.
Never get to talk about your colleagues to fellow colleagues especially what you can't see openly. It has no other word but you being a GOSSIP. Those same people you gossip with are most likely going to tell others what you said and how you are such a bad gossip.
Avoid lending money or other items from colleagues. Its better to look outside for your financial, fashion and other needs rather than looking for your helpers within the office environment. You always lose respect from colleagues when you take your needs to them.
Avoid discussing your family, emotional, financial and general problems with colleagues. In the office place, there is always something to be said and the day the office lacks gist, a secret shared with a colleague might just pop-up to be the discussion of that day.
Never talk evil about your bosses, colleagues and job. The office setting is like a jungle. It is always survival of the fittest. A colleague who is the bosses' enemy today can turn around and seel you out to gain favours from the boss and remain in their good books.
Never buy things all for the purpose of impressing your colleagues. While you are busy doing fashion competition with your fellow colleagues, always remember that your days to exit their company is drawing near. Either through retirement, retrenchment, resignation or even sack, one day you will have to leave that company. So rather than waste of frivolous items to create a 'fake personality', try to have savings to help you out during raining days.
Don't always offer to pay for meals and other items for your colleagues when you go outing. Since you all collect salary, then don't make it a point of duty to always pay for colleagues. If you do it consistently just to create a 'nice personality' image, it will be taken personal by colleagues when you try to stop.
Let your colleagues know your turnoffs. In as much as you should avoid quarrels, confrontation and malice at the office, it is always good to point out to colleagues when they do anything to you that you aren't happy with. Let people know when they are crossing the line of familiarity.
Never be too dependent on a colleague. If you have a colleague who has a car while you don't have one and go your direction, don't always make it a point of duty to follow them every single day of the week. You get a salary and part of the expenses you need to incur is yours transportation so don't be too miserly. Even though the need to save is understandable, don't make anyone believe they are doing you a huge favour. There's nothing wrong if you decide to take public transport even while your colleague is heading towards your direction. That way they will not only respect you, but also realize you can do without their favours.
Where and How one finds love is something that can never be predicted. But if you can totally avoid having a relationship or falling in love with a colleague then the better for you. It saves you from subject of office gossip, uneceassry pressure, fake life, self denial and a lot of other vices associated with dating a colleague at the office.

Weslo Cadence G 5.9 Treadmill Review
When it comes to taking care of your health and getting fit, there are many ways that you can do this. A lot of people like to walk, jog, or run to get their heart rate up and enjoy the cardiovascular benefits from that type of exercise.
Having a treadmill is a great idea for people who either don't have time to go to a gym or like to run outside but get held up on the days when the weather just won't cooperate.
A treadmill to definitely consider is the Weslo Cadence G 5.9 Treadmill. Let's take a moment to see all that it has to offer all at an affordable price.
In the picture: Weslo Cadence G 5.9 Treadmill:
Pros of the Weslo Cadence G 5.9 Treadmill:
- Price: Its budget-friendly price is definitely at the top of the list. With its affordable price, there's no excuse to miss another workout again.
- Variety: The Weslo Cadence G 5.9 comes with a total of six pre-set workouts that can help you to get fit by losing weight or toning. Though the runs are preset, you can change these and the machine will let you slow down if you need to. But then it will pick right back up with your original workout. So if you're using the treadmill and you need a second, you can take this brief break just by hitting the control. Its 2-position incline is a nice feature for added resistance to your workout.
- Folds up for easy storage: Once you get it together, if you ever need to tuck it out of sight, the machine does fold, so you can put it away in a closet or slide it beneath a bed. This is a handy feature if you live in a small apartment where space is an issue.
- Sturdy construction: This treadmill has the capacity to withstand users of up to 275 pounds. It has a solid frame that's easy to put together, but it's more helpful to have a second person help you put in the bolts.
Cons of the Weslo Cadence G 5.9 Treadmill:
- Poor packaging: Most complaints for the Weslo Cadence G 5.9 came from customers who received damaged packaging. Other customers complained of missing parts.
Worth the Money?
A treadmill under $300 is not going to be of the same quality as one that is $1000. The Weslo Cadence G 5.9 is an affordable choice for someone who is looking for an entry-level treadmill. However, the pros of this treadmill most definitely outweigh the possible downside of ownership.

Johannesburg - Presidential spokespeople were not available on Saturday night to comment on the Sunday Times story about President Jacob Zuma allegedly fathering a child with Irvin Khoza's daughter.
The newspaper quoted unidentified sources on the story with the Orlando Pirates boss's daughter, Sonono Khoza, 39, flatly denying the allegations.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I definitely do not know what you are talking about," she reportedly told the Sunday Times before terminating the call.
When her mother, Matina was asked how she felt about her new grandchild and that Zuma was the father, she: "No, we are not excited." She later said that she could not talk about the matter.
Sonono gave birth to baby Thandekile Matina Zuma on October 8, 2009 just three months before the President who is also a polygamist married his fifth wife.
The baby is nearly four months old now and was registered in her father's surname and she brings the number of Zuma's children to 20. He has 19 children with ex-wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the late, Kate Zuma and his current wives and girlfriends.
According to a family friend, a two-member delegation from KwaZulu-Natal, acting on Zuma's behalf, visited the Khoza family in December last year to discuss the Zulu customary damages (inhlawulo) that are due when a child is born out of wedlock.
On the morning of Sunday, January 17, Zuma's motorcade was seen arriving at the Khoza's family home in Diepkloof Extension, Soweto. The President who was in Johannesburg to attend the ANC's national executive committee lekgotla held in Johannesburg between January 15 and 18, spent almost an hour with Sonono and her mother, Matina.
The "Iron Duke", as Khoza is affectionately known, was not home when both meetings took place. He is said to have told family friends that he felt betrayed by Msohlozi's relationship with Sonono as he considered him "a friend".
Sonono is a dirvocee with two children from her previous marriage. She is an events manager in the marketing division at Absa Bank's head office in Johannesburg.

Published: Monday 16th February 2015 by The News Editor
A UK-based terror suspect has decided to represent himself at a US trial.
Abid Naseer is expected to give an opening statement tomorrow in federal court in New York City.
The Pakistani defendant has pleaded not guilty to charges he was part of a conspiracy in 2009 to bomb a shopping centre in Manchester, England, and the subway in New York City.
Prosecutors say the trial will feature evidence seized during the Navy SEAL raid in 2011 that left Osama bin Laden dead. The jury also will hear testimony from undercover British intelligence officers who have been given permission to take the witness stand in disguises to conceal their identities.
If convicted, 28-year-old Naseer faces a possible life sentence. Two government witnesses expected to testify against him – Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay – pleaded guilty to the subway plot.
Prosecutors claim that email account evidence shows all three men were under the direction of the same al Qaida handler. They also say a document recovered during the bin Laden raid, now declassified, mentions Naseer and refers to the Manchester and New York schemes.
Other witnesses will include MI5 agents who conducted surveillance on Naseer while investigating the Manchester case. At a pretrial hearing, US District Judge Raymond Dearie approved the disguise request after prosecutors told him in court papers that the officers continue to work undercover on sensitive cases and "disclosure of their identities would pose a significant risk to their safety".
The agents will testify using identification numbers rather than names and wearing wigs and make up, the papers added.
Naseer was one of 12 people arrested in Britain in April 2009 on suspicion they were members of an al Qaida-backed terror cell. After no explosives were found, the men were released without being charged but ordered to leave the country – a fate Naseer avoided after a judge ruled it was likely he would be mistreated if he were sent to Pakistan.
In a lengthy written statement submitted during the deportation proceedings, Naseer claimed to come from a moderate Muslim family. He said he went to Great Britain to get a degree in computer science, not to attack the West, he said.
"Committing terrorist acts is not justified, and I do not consider this to be jihad," he said. "I believe in spiritual jihad."
Authorities rearrested Naseer in July 2010 at the request of US prosecutors.

The truth about Smriti Irani's educational qualifications

HRD Minister Smriti Irani\'s educational qualifications have always been under a cloud of doubt. It first arose when the details differed in two affidavits filed by Smriti. She has courted trouble again when she claimed of having a \'degree\' from Yale University. The Ministry later clarified that it was a \'certificate\', not a \'degree\' For more news subscribe to Aajtak: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt4t-jeY85JegMlZ-E5UWtA...

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the second half to give Real Madrid a hard-fought 2-1 away win at Elche in the Spanish league Wednesday.
In a lacklustre, strategic match, Elche defender Eduardo Albacar struck a free kick that David Lomban back-headed toward goal, forcing an athletic save from goalkeeper Diego Lopez in the 10th minute.
Ronaldo scored from a direct free kick in the 50th minute which bounced just in front of goalkeeper Manuel Herrera, who got a touch but was unable to deflect the ball.
"It was a very difficult match in which our opponents played very well and caused us some problems, and there was that goal near the end that we shouldn't have conceded," said Lopez.
Ghanaian striker Richmond Boakye who is on loan to Elche from Juventus, headed a perfectly-aimed shot into goal from an Albacar cross in injury time.
Madrid was then awarded a much-argued penalty one minute later as defender Pepe wrestled with Elche midfielder Carlos Sanchez in the penalty area during a free kick.
Ronaldo stepped up to convert the shot, six minutes into injury time.
Albacar feels 'mugged'
"We have to be realists, but they have scored two goals against us from two actions that from my point of view should not have gone against us," said Albacar. "I end up with the sensation that they have robbed us. From having got a draw against a very good team, I go away feeling we've been mugged."
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said that as a general rule he did not like talking about referee's decisions. "It's difficult to comment because my position from the bench is not so good, but I spoke to Pepe and he told me the penalty was clear."
Madrid's recent star signing Gareth Bale was sidelined due to a left thigh injury sustained during training last week.
Elsewhere, two goals each by Ivan Rakitic and Carlos Bacca gave Sevilla a 4-1 win over nine-man Rayo Vallecano.
Adrian Gonzalez pulled one back for Rayo in the 55th
Rayo lost defender Alejandro Galvez in the 65th minute on a second yellow card offence and forward Jonathan Viera in the 81st on a straight red card.
An injury time goal by Brazil midfielder Jonas gave Valencia a 1-0 win over Granada.
Barcelona leads the standings with Atletico Madrid second-place, also on 18 points after six matches, but on a worse goal differential. Real Madrid is third on 16 with Valencia seventh on nine, while Granada is 14th on five, Elche is 18th on three and Rayo is bottom, also on three.

'most complete all-in-one camera'
'If you're after an all-purpose camera you'll never have to upgrade with lenses, and don't mind that it's not far off an entry-level DSLR in size, the RX10 II is simply excellent. '
'Hot shoe for external strobes. '
Full-featured, best-performing super-zoom
One-size-fits-all bridge cameras are often touted as DSLR alternatives, but they've always lacked great performance and image quality – until Sony's Cyber-shot RX10 showed up, that is.

'The camera's well-articulated menus are reasonably intuitive to navigate, and in keeping with the style found on other Sony DSLRs.'

Neymar took revenge against Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos with his comment on the latter's Instagram post.
What's the story?
FC Barcelona superstar Neymar has taken a dig at Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos following the German midfielder's controversial New Year's greeting to his followers. The Brazilian forward commented on Kroos' Instagram post with a 'hand' emoticon – most likely referring to Brazil's 5 World Cup triumphs as against to Germany's 4.
In case you didn't know…
Germany annihilated Brazil in the semi-final of the 2014 World Cup at the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Die Mannschaft hit 7 past a helpless Julio Cesar as the non-existent Brazilian defence watched on – helplessly, Oscar did score a consolation goal for the home side to make it 7-1.. It marked one of the most humiliating defeats in the history of Brazilian football and has often been described as a national humiliation.
The game equalled Brazil's biggest margin of defeat, when they had succumbed to a 6-0 loss against Uruguay in 1920. It also broke Brazil's 62-match unbeaten streak at home, which dated back to their 3-1 loss against Peru in Copa America 1975.
Germany then went on to beat Argentina in the final to lift their 4th World Cup, one less than Brazil's record haul of 5.
The heart of the matter
Toni Kroos had posted an image greeting his followers on New Year which read: "Feliz 2017', wherein instead of the numerals '1' and '7', he had used the flags of Brazil and Germany respectively. This was in reference to Brazil's humiliating 7-1 defeat at the hands of Germany in the 2014 World Cup semi-finals at home.
What's next?
Kroos' Instagram post didn't go down well with many Brazilians including his Real Madrid teammate Marcelo along with Real Madrid and Brazil legend Ronaldo (El Fenomeno).
Marcelo took to Twitter to post a message, which read: "Happy new year to all. Good health and RESPECT others always." – An apparent dig at Kroos.
Ronaldo (El Fenomeno) had also trolled Toni Kroos on a Facebook post, which read: "On request… Happy New Year Toni Kroos" – originally – "A pedidos… FELIZ ANO NOVO". However, what was written on the image caught the eye as it was: "Feliz 2017", with '2' and '0' replaced by Brazil and German flags respectively. An apparent dig at the German for Brazil's 2-0 win over Germany in the final of the 2002 World Cup – Ronaldo had scored both the goals in the final.
Sportskeeda's Take
Banter between two footballers is a common theme in the world of football and as such there's not much to read between the lines. However, one must hope that it doesn't get below the belt, rest as they say – 'the show must go on!'.
Tweet speak
Feliz año a todos mucha salud y RESPETO a los demás siempre!
Feliz ano novo a todos muita saude e RESPEITO Ao próximo sempre! ??????????

Join me on this mountaineering expedition to climb Aconcagua, the highest mountain outside the Himalayas!
Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Western and Southern Hemispheres. The Aconcagua is part of the Andes mountain range (province of Mendoza, Argentina).
The scheduled date for the 2017-2018 season expedition, from January 31st 2018 to February 12th 2018, is SOLD OUT. Next expedition will be in the 2018-2019 season.
The summit is located about 15 kilometres from the international border with Chile. It is one of the Seven Summits (the highest mountains of each of the seven continents).
With good climate, from the summit we'll be able to enjoy an incredible 360° view that you'll never forget: infinite mountains, white fields and glaciers, including the stunning peaks of Cerro Mercedario and Cerro Tolosa.
The following itinerary is a general plan. As I know the area very well I'm able to show you special spots if the weather makes it possible.
Day 1: From Mendoza to Penitentes (2700 m).
Day 2: Ar Penitentes mules loading. Trek from Penitentes to Confluencia (3400 m). Camp at around 3PM.
Day 3: From Confluencia, acclimatization trek to the South Wall (4200 m, 6-7 hours). Then return to Confluencia.
Day 4: From Confluencia to Plaza de Mulas (4300 m). The trek lasts around 7 hours.
Day 5: Plaza de Mulas (rest day).
Day 6: From Plaza de Mulas to Nido de Cóndores (5500 m, 6-7 hours). Then back to Plaza de Mulas.
Day 7: Plaza de Mulas. Today will be a rest day.
Day 8: From Plaza de Mulas to Nido de Cóndores (5500 m).
Day 9: From Nido de Cóndores to summit (6960 m). Camp. The trek lasts around 14-16 hours.
Day 10: Backup Day. Day 11: From camp to Plaza de Mulas
Day 12: From Plaza de Mulas to Mendoza or Santiago. End of Expedition.
I also consider two extra days to be able to deal with bad weather conditions.
You can read the experience of a climber I guided in 2016 in this blog article.
I've been +36 times to Aconcagua, but each time is as fascinating as the first one. So contact me if you are interested in joining this expedition to the top of America!

Best-selling and nationally acclaimed author Octavia Butler puts a new spin on the vampire novel
How many of our happy relationships involve a degree of dominance or dependence that we can't acknowledge? This is Butler's typically insidious method: to create an alternative social world that seems, at first, alien and then to force us to consider the nature of our own lives with a new, anxious eye. It's a pain in the neck, but impossible to resist.

The Minister of defence of Germany Ursula von der Lean rejects the accusations of the President of the United States of America Donald trump to Berlin that he owed a "huge amount" of NATO. About this reports Deutsche Welle.
"There is no debt in the framework of NATO. To bind exclusively to the NATO defence spending at 2% of GDP, which we want to achieve by the middle of next decade, is erroneous," – said the head of the defense Ministry of Germany.
Ursula von der Lean also said that in the framework of NATO except for the level of defense spending as a percentage of GDP should take into account the so-called "activity index" which, in particular, would take into account the participation of the armed forces of the countries in joint actions of NATO.
The German government has repeatedly stressed that it will meet all its NATO commitments, and by 2024 will increase defense spending to 2% of GDP annually, which was agreed at the NATO summit 2014 in Wales.
Earlier, Donald trump said that Germany needs the United States and NATO "huge amounts of money" for providing an expensive defense system.

well, I googled superintelligence and corporations and this came up with the top result for an articulated claim that corporations are superintelligent:
The top result for an articulated claim that corporations are not superintelligent came from our own Nick Bostrom:
Nick Bostrom "A superintelligence is any intellect that is vastly outperforms the best human brains in practically every field, including scientific creativity, general wisdom, and social skills.1This definition leaves open how the superintelligence is implemented â it could be in a digital computer, an ensemble of networked computers, cultured cortical tissue, or something else."
If one is defining superintelligent as able to beat any human in any field, then I think it's reasonable to say that no corporations currently behave in a superintelligent manner. But that doesn't mean that the smartest corporations aren't smarter than the smartest humans. It may mean that it's just not rational for them to engage in those specific tasks. Anyways, the way corporations operate, one wouldn't attempt, as a unit, to be more socially skilled than Bill Clinton. It would just pay to utilize Bill Clinton's social skills.
So Nick's point is interesting, but I don't think it's an ending point, it's a starting or midway point in the analysis of networked groups of humans (and nonhuman computers, etc.) as potentially distinct intelligences, in my opinion.
Here are some more personal thoughts on this in a recent blog post of mine:

I have the OneTouch Ultra Smart, an Ultra mini in bright green, and a couple of Ultra 2's. They are my meters of choice. They correspond well to my A1c results. All of the meters have been free to me and the strips are the preferred brand of my new health insurance carrier- I just paid 100.00 for 500.00 strips- thanks to my doctor prescribing 5 tests a day. Before this, I was paying 50 cents/strip for 2 tests per day with the insurance and the rest at over the counter prices (about $1.00/strip).
Hi Jeannie
I consider it a gift from God, myself. My doctor suggested the change when open enrollment time came around. She noted that the co-pay for my Januvia was less through the new company, that they paid more for lab tests, that they paid her more routinely for her services, and that she had no problem prescribing strips to patients on this plan. There was no difference in the premiums, so we switched.
I had my doubts when I mailed them the prescriptions, but I actually got the metformin cheaper than Walmart (and it doesn't smell like dead fish either),the Januvia was less, and the strips were approved- that saves me over 100.00/month alone. I have to test a lot when I'm on the road, esp when I'm crossing time zones frequently, and eating in restaurants where even salads an have hidden carbs.
I called One Touch to see if they would send me a new battery- and they actually sent me a new Ultra Smart and when I mentioned how I loved the mini but couldn't use it as much as I would like because it didn't synch up to the computer- they sent me one of the new ones that does- no charge. They just love it when you tell them you use 5 of their strips a day-lol and it is totally cool to have your meter and your iPOD shuffle match-

ICC World Cup: Psychologist helped David Warner stay calm
Sydney: Australian opener David Warner has said speaking to Australia's team psychologist helped him reclaim his composure and assisted in his quest to begin the World Cup campaign with a relaxed approach.

"I've actually spoken to my psychologist about it," Warner was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
"There (are) thoughts go into your head. You try and premeditate, you want to come down the wicket to the spinner; you want to sort of give yourself a little bit of room to the leg side off one of the quicks and try and hit him over backward point or something."
Warner said he has now understood he doesn't need to play on a high tempo mode from the beginning in an ODI match.
"I think I've had to learn now to play (ODIs) just like Test match cricket. Place it, try and hit the gaps. I can get myself off to a good start, I don't really need to take it to them," he added.
"I've just stated to learn that and I've found my way now. If the ball is still there and I want to hit it over the top, by all means I'll do that. But in my mind I'm saying to myself 'I can still score at a strike rate of 100, even if I bat properly.'"

Dilma Rousseff broke down in tears following the delivery of a report into the killings, disappearances and tortures committed by government agents during Brazil's years under military dictatorship.
Rousseff was imprisoned and tortured between 1970 and 1972 for being part of various groups fighting against Brazil's dictatorship that lasted between 1964 and 1985.
On Wednesday, the country's National Truth Commission delivered a report that detailed the actions of government agents and called on those responsible to face prosecution. The 2,000-page document was handed to an emotional Rousseff who shed tears as she gave a speech on the report
"I said that Brazil deserves the truth. The new generations deserve the truth. And most of all, those who deserve the truth are those who lost family members, friends, companions and continue to suffer," said Rousseff.

LELAND — The director of the South Delta Regional Housing Authority is proposing a four-day workweek for employees.
The Delta Democrat Times reports Patricia Logan presented the idea to SDRHA's board.
Logan wants to switch the agency's 30 employees to a 10-hour-a-day, four-day-a-week schedule from the current five eight-hour days. Logan says the agency's budget has been squeezed by federal spending reductions.
Logan says she's talked with other housing authorities similar in size to South Delta and learned they have been able to cut expenses by making such a change.
Board member Robert Gray says his concern was that tenants' needs continue to be addressed.
Logan says there typically are fewer calls from tenants needing assistance Friday through Sunday. She said she would look into that issue further.

Opinion: In Remington, Seawall shows how to build a superblock
Now that's how you build a superblock.
As the Business Journal reported Thursday, Seawall Development Co. is floating plans at community meetings to reinvent Remington, one of Baltimore's long-struggling neighborhoods. The developer would take more than three underutilized blocks and transform them into a mix of office, residential and retail, creating a new "Main Street" for the city.
A project of this size was never in the plans for Seawall. It just happened. But it offers a blueprint for how other developers could improve troubled areas of the city — and, in retrospect, an approach that could have resulted in speedier progress for downtown Baltimore's west side.
Seawall started with one project, a redevelopment of the former H.F. Miller and Son Tin Box and Can Manufacturing Plant on North Howard Street. That became Miller's Court, a building with offices, below-market rental apartments for city teachers and a cafe — a development so successful that it is being duplicated in other markets.
After that building leased up, Seawall turned its attention toward buying vacant houses in Remington and renovating them. During the years in which Seawall has bought and redeveloped properties in Remington, the company has built a rapport with the neighborhood. I've talked to community leaders in Remington, and they love Seawall.
As Seawall partner Evan Morville said Tuesday, "We didn't really pick Remington. Remington picked us because of Miller's Court."
Now, Seawall is planning to buy and redevelop properties on the 2700, 2800 and 2900 blocks of Remington Avenue — a project that could make little-known Remington a destination not only for people who live in the city, but also for people who might move here in the future.
Massive and organic, Seawall's Remington project is development done right. The project is a stark contrast — albeit on a smaller scale — to the grand $152 million vision for the west side of downtown, known as the superblock.
Parts of downtown have become hostage to the superblock, a project that was awarded to the development team Lexington Square Partners LLC in 2005. Lawsuits, protests among preservationists and debates over tax incentives have kept the project in limbo, and there are new concerns that could yet cause the fragile plans to dissolve.
Seawall's methodical progress in Remington, however, shows how a so-called superblock actually happens. It starts with a project or two, and grows with success and a swell of community support. It happens when developers agree with residents on the right course for a neighborhood or community.
The downtown attempt at a superblock started with a vision — a grand plan for what could happen along Clay, West Fayette, North Howard and North Liberty streets. But there was no initial example of success in that area. There was limited community buy-in — in fact, just the opposite, there was outrage over plans to demolish the historically significant Read's Drug Store. And there was uncertainty over financing.
The beleaguered downtown project might yet happen — and city residents and businesses should hope it does. And Seawall's plan could fall short of its ambitious vision — though I certainly hope it doesn't.
But if you look at both projects, it becomes clear which one demonstrates the best approach for large-scale urban redevelopment.

Diatomaceous Earth is about 89% silica which is an important cellular nutrient. The DE 'shell' that remains (after the silica is taken) has a strong negative-charge that attracts fungi, protozoa, viruses, endotoxins, chemicals, drug residues, E. Coli and heavy metals that may be in our digestive tract. DE captures these toxins, and helps to safely remove them from the body.

France called for the release of all jailed human rights defenders around the world including Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, who was on Friday awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in his absence.
"I renew France's call, on the day that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded, for the freeing of all those who around the world are deprived of liberty for having defended human rights," Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said.
Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said that Alliot-Marie, who was speaking on the occasion of international Human Rights Day, was calling for each country to respect fundamental freedoms.
Asked about Liu, Valero recalled that France and the European Union "have called several times for him to be freed and reiterate that call." Human rights in China are dealt with "in the framework of Euro-Chinese rights dialogue."
Earlier in Oslo the head of the Nobel Committee, Thorbjoern Jagland, placed the Peace Prize diploma and gold medal on an empty chair representing Liu at the award ceremony.
Liu, 54, is an author and former professor who was at the forefront of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
He was jailed in December 2009 for 11 years on subversion charges after co-authoring "Charter 08", a manifesto that spread quickly on the Internet calling for political reform and greater rights in China.

text: Posted by Todd Bundy on November 28, 2011 Tags Data Center Connectivity Data Security Fibre-Tapping Internet Protocol Security Local Area Network Network Security Optical Time Domain Reflection Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Storage Area Network (SAN) Virtual Private Network WDM ...hide ...show 1 Today's data centers are state-of-the-art, heavily secured facilities in which extraordinary efforts are undertaken—at sometimes extraordinary expense—to protect a company's most highly sensitive information assets. But what happens when the data leaves the building? Today's weak link in data-center security typically is the connection from one facility to another—one that is either owned and maintained by the enterprise or procured from a carrier. Sufficiently protecting data along these connections—without jeopardizing the performance of a company's most demanding local and storage area network (LAN and SAN) applications that are carried across them—demands an end-to-end, modular approach to security that can be tailored to varying needs. There are multiple principles of security that must be drawn from. Solutions based on Layer 3 encryption protocols such as Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Virtual Private Network (VPN) are often not appropriate for securing a company's most time-sensitive LAN and SAN services, for example, because of the security scheme's impact on latency and other key performance parameters. Data-center managers require a security solution that at the same time delivers ample protection and supports necessary levels of application speed, throughput and configuration simplicity. End-to-end monitoring of optical-layer performance and power is particularly valuable for data mirroring and other synchronous services. Without increasing a data-center network's bandwidth requirements or latency, enabling intrusion detection at the physical layer can support fast identification, isolation and mitigation to network events such as malicious breaches, cable breaks, receiver overloads and data-signal loss or weakness. Violation of software-adjustable switching thresholds, for example, can reveal fiber cuts. Fiber degradation can be revealed by alarms related to adjustable minimum/maximum fiber-attenuation thresholds. Keeping an eye toward typical power signatures can serve as a tool against fiber intrusion, and a spatial fault locator leveraging in-service Optical Time Domain Reflection (OTDR) measurement can help fiber problems such as taps be quickly pinpointed for more rapid resolution. Monitoring long-term fiber performance via databases, meanwhile, can help data-center managers avert issues over time. Together, these capabilities provide substantial protection against intrusion on the optical connections among data centers, but even these capabilities aren't enough. The security task facing data-center managers today has grown significantly more challenging, as the methods and opportunities of accessing data in transit across optical fiber have multiplied and grown harder to detect over the last decade as companies have sought to share more and more valuable information assets over longer and longer distances. For example, low-cost, passive, non-intrusive optical monitoring devices have emerged and are widely available. Because they can be used to view data in transit without actually harming the fiber link, data-center managers require an additional measure of protection beyond intrusion detection. To address this issue, encryption can be added per channel on an as-needed basis in some implementations of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) transmission. Some WDM systems allow for the strategic, selective encryption of certain Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand or other service at the physical layer on the transponder card itself. This modularity is critical because no cloud provider, for example, could afford to deploy and manage hundreds of encryption devices at the ends of all of their optical links to their users. Rather, by enabling per-channel encryption via a single, customer-owned card—inserted into the service provider's existing WDM system that is already performing the multiplexing of protocols—data security is achieved for key links without need of additional boxes or real estate. A customer maintains control of its cards and encryption keys. With such a complete and integrated, modular approach to protection—leveraging physical-layer monitoring, per-channel encryption and security-hardened software—critical information is protected without jeopardizing superior, low-latency performance for an enterprise's most demanding applications. Companies cost-effectively comply with information-protection regulations and protect their businesses, and carriers and service providers are positioned to serve new customers in key verticals and differentiate offerings by enabling new encryption services such as transmission and encryption management. The unique ability to fully encrypt payloads and monitor for intrusions at the physical layer is yet another reason that WDM figures to be the unifying platform for data-center interconnection for the foreseeable future. Enabling native-speed performance for any standard protocol, supporting lowest-latency transmission and offering unlimited bandwidth, sophisticated security and investment protection, WDM provides data-center managers with an unmatched set of capabilities for simplifying support of their companies' full array of LAN and SAN applications. Tweet Comments 1 Canal February 10, 2012 You raise some rlaley interesting points, however I think there is one thing you missed, and it is actually quite pertinent. You said the following: "and for good reason: it is damn [sic] hard to pull off."When in fact it should have been "…damned hard…"Let me explain. "Damn" in itself is actually a verb. I damn you, and you damn me, etc. For some reason I consistently find it being used as an adjective without any kind of modification at all. Though I understand that this is due to the common usage and the overall loss of the -d suffix, like in "Iced Cream" and how it becomes "Ice Cream". The cream has been Iced, people. However, Anant, I am certainly correct in saying that you call it "Mashed Potatoes" rather than "Mash Potatoes", so just for the sake of total consistency, you should most likely call it "damned hard".

Renowned American architect and engineer George Keller once said, "To think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted." But as creatives, we sometimes trade creativity for speed only to meet deadlines with work that we aren't proud to put into our portfolios.
In an old blog post, co-founder of Basecamp (and co-author of Rework) Jason Fried, compiled a list of every question he asked when looking at a design-in-progress. Some of the examples:
- What does it say?
- What does it mean?
- Is what it says and what it means the same thing?
- Do we want that?
- Why do we need to say that here?
- Where's the idea?
- What problem is that solving?
- How does this change someone's mind?
- What makes this a must have?
Most of the time "is it done?" isn't a good enough question. If you plan ahead and build opportunities for structured feedback into your design process, you'll be able to ask some of the aforementioned questions that will dramatically improve the quality of your work. It's simple – if you ask better questions, you'll get better answers.

Aneeth, P., Dave, R., Yadav, M., and Kattakayam, S., "Weight Optimisation of Dumper Body Structure Conserving Stiffness, Buckling and Dent Performance," SAE Technical Paper 2017-26-0304, 2017, https://doi.org/10.4271/2017-26-0304.
The entire commercial vehicle industry is moving towards weight reduction to leverage on the latest materials available to benefit in payload & fuel efficiency. General practice of weight reduction using high strength steel with reduced thickness in reference to Roark's formula does not consider the stiffness & dent performance. While this helps to meet the targeted weight reduction keeping the stress levels within the acceptable limit, but with a penalty on stiffness & dent performance. The parameters of stiffener like thickness, section & pitching are very important while considering the Stiffness, bucking & dent performance of a dumper body. The Finite Element Model of subject dumper body has been studied in general particularly on impact of dent performance and is correlated with road load data to provide unique solution to the product. The impact of payload during loading of dumper is the major load case. While the stiffness increases with the height of stiffener, the buckling tendency has an adverse effect on the same. Unique geometry with appropriate section modulus and positioning plays a vital role in improving the stiffness. This paper emphasizes on the fact that Weight Optimisation can be done choosing an ideal value for each of these factors using various Design of Experiments studies, FE Analysis and correlations with physical test results ensuring the best stiffness, buckling & dent performance for the design.

AUGUSTA - So much for Tiger Woods' Grand Slam.
It's done. Finished before it started.
Lost in the swirling winds, on the slippery greens and amidst the haunting aura of Augusta National Golf Club.
Woods is seven shots off the Masters Tournament lead heading into the weekend. Masters champions have come from further back. Jack Burke Jr. trailed Ken Venturi by eight strokes after three rounds in 1956, only to rally for victory.
But Venturi was just a 24-year-old amateur playing in his first big tournament back then. He wouldn't turn pro until the next year or win the U.S. Open until 1964.
Burke caught Venturi with 71 in the final round. The amateur shot an 80 in the final round and blew a four-shot lead on Augusta's back nine, a collapse often compared to Greg Norman's in his 1996 Masters loss to Nick Faldo.
Don't count on a similar choke by this weekend's front-runners. Sure, leader Trevor Immelman is less intimidating than Oz's munchkins. Brandt Snedeker, alone in second place and six shots ahead of Tiger, won't scare anybody either.
But Phil Mickelson is four shots clear of Woods. Mickelson's won two of the last three Masters, and memories of his gaffe on the final hole of the 2006 U.S. Open - he led by a shot only to make a double bogey and lose - will keep him focused.
Yet Woods' greatest rival this weekend is probably himself. His game is off.
He hit a duffer's pitch shot into a greenside bunker on No. 2 Friday.
He puttered around the greens like a jalopy with sugar in its gas tank, needing 31 putts.
He played lumberjack on the tee box, driving into the Georgia pines.
And Woods seems mentally flummoxed by his predicament. He spent Thursday night lamenting the difficulty of the golf course, how hard it is to make eagles and birdies, and comparing it to a U.S. Open course.
Then 19 players finish the second round under par and Woods decides the track must not be that difficult. Somebody call Bill O'Reilly; Augusta National is turning into a spin zone.
"This course you can make up shots quickly," Woods said. "Seven back on this golf course in these conditions, you can make that up."
Woods' confidence is not unfounded. He is a skilled Augusta comebacker.
He rallied from six strokes down after two rounds to defeat Chris DiMarco in 2005. He was four back of Vijay Singh in 2002. He was two behind DiMarco again in 2001.
But he started the third round in fourth place or better all three of those years. Twelve players are in front of him this time, and Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh are among those even with him at 1 under par.
Wood might find his swing, putting stroke and concentration overnight, but the leader is lapping him and he's got too many cars to pass. His best hope is for bad weather to wash out part of his third round and allow him the chance to get on a 27-hole roll on Sunday like he did in 2005.
That won't happen, though. His best chance for a Grand Slam is another Tiger Slam, starting with June's U.S. Open and ending here next April. This weekend will belong to someone else.
Adam Van Brimmer's column will appear every day during Masters week. He can be reached at 912-525-0733. Read more from Augusta National on his Armchair QB blog at http://savannahnow.com/blogs/armchairqb.


text: Portrait of Túpac Amaru, the last Sapa Inca. In 1533, after the death of Atahualpa, Atahualpa's brother, Manco Inca Yupanqui, was crowned Emperor by the Spaniards. In 1536, he revolted, gathered troops, and marched on the city of Cuzco and besieged it. The revolt was only partially successful, and he fled to the remote city of Vilcabamba where he continued to rule as Sapa Inca of a "post-Inca" or "neo-Inca" state. He was succeeded by his three sons, of whom Túpac Amaru was the last. Túpac Amaru was captured and executed by the Spanish in 1572, bringing the Inca Empire to a permanent end.
