Rugby World Cup: Bruised Australian David Pocock ready for biggest clash of his life against New Zealand
David Pocock peers out from behind his two black eyes and delivers the kind of line that spreads around the online world like wildfire. In the world of the mundane soundbite, the Australia vice-captain stands apart.
"I'm a big fan of wildlife docos," he said, referring to his preferred method of relaxing after games as revealed on his Twitter account.
"Particularly David Attenborough, he's a big hero of mine. On Sunday, for post-game recovery, I watch a couple of Attenborough episodes and put my feet up. I was re-watching his Africa series which I think is from 2013. If he wants to come to the final I'm sure we could organise some tickets. He's a legend."
Most of the listening hacks could happily have turned their dictaphones off there. No 'one game at a time' stuff here from the converted No.8 with a penchant for bold political statements.
Yet, for a man who says the game of rugby doesn't define him, the Wallabies ace sure is willing to put his body on the line.
His face is an advertisement for the dangers of jackaling for the ball on the ground when a furious Argentina pack come hunting. It's the kind of image one imagines young rugby players hope their mothers don't see.
Yet here he is, battered, bruised and ready for the biggest match of his life - Saturday's World Cup final against New Zealand. He will put his body on the line time after time, but it remains a game.
"That's been my approach," he said of his healthy detachment from his job. "I've absolutely loved the game of rugby and I'm so grateful for the opportunity that it's given me.

Rugby World Cup: Taking charge of showpiece will be real honour says referee Nigel Owens
"But I'm very conscious of the fact that at the end of the game it's a game. It's there to be enjoyed, it can offer so much to us, but there's certainly a lot more to life than chasing a rugby ball.
"I like to consider myself more a lover than a fighter. A bit of a knock on the nose can't change that. It's relatively straight. My partner, Emma, says as long as I don't start snoring she's happy."
He has chained himself to a super-digger in protest at a local mine, while he also stopped a Super Rugby match to highlight an opponent using a homophobic slur, yet while outside the game he is considered a refreshing presence, the focus in New Zealand will be completely on his rugby abilities and on stopping him having the kind of influence he has exerted throughout this tournament.
All Blacks veteran Keven Mealamu said yesterday: "We understand he's a good player.
"You can't be too focused on him individually, there's so many other parts to the game and if we concentrate on one you won't be able to do the others.
"But we know he's an important part of them."
One of the best turnover threats in the game, Pocock's battle with Richie McCaw will be worth watching alone but his ability to turn a game in his favour is hugely impressive.
He is aware of his history too and knows just what playing in a World Cup final means.
He recalled: "I was watching the 1995 final on my grandfather's farm in the low veldt in Zimbabwe.
"I just remember how tense it was and then that drop goal. Half-time I think I was skateboarding up and down the ramp, using up energy, then I came in and had a watch. It was pretty special.
"It's incredibly exciting. As a kid, growing up playing rugby, the World Cup was the pinnacle and something I loved watching. There are a few World Cup memories that have stayed with me.
"To be playing on this stage is very special and to represent so many people all over the world; from a primary school coach in Zimbabwe to a High School coach in Brisbane - to me that is really exciting."
Meanwhile, former England target Wayne Smith has been hailed as a driving force in New Zealand's bid to make history by retaining the World Cup.
Much-vaunted defence specialist Smith would have joined England's backroom staff had Nick Mallett succeeded Martin Johnson four years ago.
The former Northampton coach left the All Blacks set-up after the 2011 World Cup triumph, but later joined Super Rugby franchise the Chiefs, spurning Stuart Lancaster's overtures to join his England staff.
Smith guided the Chiefs to Super Rugby success before returning to the All Blacks and adding an extra level of frugality to Steve Hansen's already mean-spirited rearguard cordon.
Hooker Mealamu, who is preparing for his final New Zealand game in Saturday's final against Australia, said: "It's been pretty good having Smithy back in the camp.
"With guys understanding their roles, he's been able to put some good systems in place for us.
"But it's just been good having good old Smithy back. Wayne's got a really good rapport with the players. He's a very smart man.
"He sees a lot of things a player doesn't usually pick up on and he's great at getting his teaching across. It's been really handy having him back.
"His close attention to detail really adds to the coaching group we've had over the last number of years."

Re: Charlotte or William Ramsden
In reply to:
Charlotte or William Ramsden
Rod Moore 9/28/03
Hi rod
I have a william ramsden born in oldham around 1815-who i think was the father of james fletcher ramsden born in oldham also in 1839. I was wondering wether james could be a cousin or even a brother of charlotte??? Did they have any connection to north wales or neston in cheshire do u know???. My james fletcvher ramsden moved to north wales via cheshire eventually having a daughter named martha ramsden. She married a william bennett and they had a son called frank. Maybe there is a small connection somewhere cos ramsden is more common in yorkshire than lancashire.
yours hopefully

The Soyombo script was developed by the Mongolian monk and scholar Bogdo Zanabazar in 1686 to write Mongolian. According to legend, Zanabazar based the script on letter-like signs he saw in the sky one night. Other theories suggest that the shapes of the letters may have been based on the Ranjana script of Nepal.
The Mongolian language had been written for centuries before the creation of Soyombo, using the Mongolian script, but Zanabazar was the first to write it horizontally.
Soyombo can also be used to write Tibetan and Sanskrit.

The continuing desire for planning reform has resulted in some competition between the State's major political parties. On 25 May 2015, we saw the Labor government produce a directions paper called 'Better Planning for Queensland'.
In reply, on 4 June 2015, the Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Planning, Small Business, Employment and Trade, the Hon. Tim Nicholls, introduced private member bills for further planning reform into the Queensland Parliament. The bills are:
- Planning and Development (Planning for Prosperity) Bill 2015;
- Planning and Development (Planning Court) Bill 2015; and
- Planning and Development (Planning for Prosperity – Consequential Amendments) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015.
The explanatory notes for the private member bills suggest that the proposed reform is:
- a continuation of extensive industry consultation which commenced in about 2012; and
- substantially the same as the draft legislation proposed by the former LNP government in 2014, which lapsed when the last State election was announced.
In contrast to the swift introduction of the private member bills, the Labor government's directions paper states that a new planning legislation would be introduced to the Queensland Parliament by October 2015.
Some highlights of the planning reform proposed by the private member bills, compared with the current Sustainable Planning Act 2009, include:
- The purpose of the proposed planning legislation is to facilitate Queensland's prosperity, including through ecologically sustainable development that balances economic growth, environmental protection and community wellbeing.
- Only two types of State planning instruments are proposed, being State planning policies and regional plans. The proposed local planning instruments are planning schemes, temporary local planning instruments and planning scheme policies.
- Categories of development will change to prohibited development, assessable development (for which a development permit is required) and accepted development (for which a development permit is not required).
- Categories of development assessment will change from code to standard assessment and from impact to merit assessment.
- Public notification is decoupled from the assessment type and will be based on factors such as the scale, type and location of proposed development and its potential impact on the area in which it will be located. Local government planning schemes will remain the primary instrument for establishing levels of assessment for proposed development, however, State regulations will prevail in the event of any inconsistency.
- Where a development is subject to public notification, third party (submitter) appeal rights will be retained.
- The development assessment system (currently known as IDAS), including the decision criteria and decision rules for development applications, will be recorded in subordinate legislation, such as a regulation, rather than being contained in the proposed Act. However, it is proposed that the development assessment system will be generally consistent with the current planning and development assessment framework.
- Civil penalties for development offences have been increased to a level that is consistent with offences under environmental and resources legislation, and executive officer liability will remain for some development offences.
- Expanded ministerial powers, for example in dealing with development applications that impact on a State interest, are proposed.
- The existing infrastructure charging regime will continue largely unchanged.
- The Planning and Environment Court will continue under its own Act.
- The Planning and Environment Court will retain discretion to make a costs order, and will have expanded powers to:
- order costs against an entity that has an interest in a proceeding, but is not a party to it; and
- require parties to provide security for costs.
- However, if a Planning and Environment Court proceeding is resolved at or shortly after an ADR process, or as a result of a hearing by the ADR Registrar, each party must bear their own costs.
The private member bills differ from the previous planning reform package proposed by the former LNP government by removing provisions that allowed for development applications to be accepted by an assessment manager without the land owner's consent and the removal of a clause which described when a fine was payable to a local government.
It is pleasing to see that the competing reform proposals of the private member bills and the Labor government's 'Better Planning for Queensland' directions paper contain common reform proposals that are informed by the extensive industry consultation that has occurred since 2012. However, we expect there to be continued interest and ongoing debate regarding future planning reform.
Whilst community engagement and Court costs remain key differences of opinion between the private member bills and the policy statements recently made by the Labor government, we expect that further matters for robust debate will arise when full details of the Labor government's planning reform position are known.
The private member bills have been referred to the Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources Committee, and Mr. Nicholls has invited continued industry and community consultation through the committee process. In his speech introducing the bills to the parliament he noted 'I should also say that the LNP is open to further amendments to the bill should they be required and desired after consultation and full operation of the committee system.'
Whether or not the private member bills will be passed at all, or in their current form or with alterations, is ultimately a question for the parliament. In any event we expect that industry welcomes the continuing commitment to planning reform in Queensland, and looks forward to future certainty.

September 27th, 2007 – by: coolguy
The reason I am writing about the food is that it has taken its toll on me. Some days I can't get enough energy for biking from the meagre options available for me to eat. On top of that, I think I've been moderately dehydrated, which makes it very hard to take in dry camp foods such as oats or bread.
While waiting for a bus with a luggage rack on the roof (for my bike), we attracted a lot of attention amongst the local kids. Some were polite enough, but others obviously enjoyed calling us names we did not understand. A couple of them even swiped two of my bungee cords when I was loading my bike onto the bus. I angrily confronted them with my limited Russian (basically, repeating 'Where? I have! Where? I have!' and pointing to the remaining cords). A nearby adult understood what was happening and forced the kids to return the stolen items. I managed to get one of the back, but they played dumb about the other. Consider it a souvenir, you punks.

Would you die for someone (be it your mother, husband, kid, best friend, etc.) Why or Why not?
sort by best latest
I would die for my daughter in a second. There would be no hesitation.
I'm not sure about anyone else, to be honest. I think I *might* for my mom, though I also know that that's the last thing she would want me to do... so I don't know.

Nope, I am scared of death.
I would rather find a way to save my love ones rather then die for them. Instead, both of us might die in the end!

This is an interesting question. Many people respond, and many are wise enough to remain silent. Those who remain silent know that it all comes down to circumstance, and they couldn't possibly know how they might react if any small variable of the situation were different, etc..
Richard Dawkins' book, The Selfish Gene, explains how evolution answers this question. Though the book is titled 'Selfish Gene', it actually talks a lot more about altruism. It explains how your relation to the person in danger directly effects your decision to save them, weighed against the likelihood of your death. For example:
If a man you don't know falls into the Niagara River and is rushing towards the Falls to his death, it's very unlikely that you will jump in and try to save him.
Replace the man with your child, parent or sibling (50% gene relation), and you're very likely to jump into the river (50% more likely), despite the high likelihood of your death.
This is an integral function of gene propagation, in that you're more likely to sacrifice your life for others that have your genes (you're statistically 25% less likely to jump in after a first cousin or a grandparent) than others who don't.
Regardless of all this, if the likelihood of your death is 100%, you're almost certainly not going save the family member. The only mechanism of evolution that is stronger than gene propagation is survival. That being said, in an irrational state (due to a sudden onset of violence or danger), the 'fight-or-flight' reflex might cause some to take an offensive position, in turn protecting their loved ones. It's also not unreasonable to imagine a mother doing just about anything to protect a child. But keep in mind, in neither of these situations have the 'protectors' rationally calculated a 100% chance of death-- they either think they can win or at least survive.

QOTSA Reveal Album Title and Samples
"...Like Clockwork" will be available in June. Listen to early samples of the record here.
Queens Of The Stone Age have revealed that their new album will be titled "...Like Clockwork".
It will be released in June according to Antiquiet, but you can hear brief samples of the album if you visit the QOTSA website, click the icon, and hit refresh.
Their new album is currently one of the most eagerly anticipated in rock. Frontman Josh Homme first said they would be recording and released the album in late 2011, but a host of difficulties including legal trouble with his former band Kyuss held up the process. The album titled appears to be an ironic nod to the delay since released their last LP "Era Vulgaris" in 2006.
"The songs [on this record] are a real time document of the manic ups and downs of the last year," said Homme in the most recent of a series of cryptic letters about the new album. "It can't always run like clockwork. So rather than control the direction of the recordings, we decided to ride shotgun on our emotional bandwagon. We embraced our evil, held the horrible, licked the lunacy and blew the beautiful. As a result, we're on cloud 9."
Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor, Nick Oliveri, Mark Lanegan, Jake Shears and even Elton John are among the all-star roster of musicians who appear on the new QOTSA record.
What do you think of the surreal new album samples? Has anyone figured out what the hidden message from the cryptic letters that were released? Let us know what you think in the comments.

doubt not, fear not
Friday, January 24, 2014
Pastor Mark Leonard
I will walk this day in faith, God is on my side. Fear will not guide me. I will not listen or pay attention to my fears today. I refuse to be driven by fear in the name of Jesus. I decree and declare I am driven by faith. Something Good is Going to Happen!
Joyce Meyer Ministries
The devil brings storms into your life to intimidate you. You glorify God when you continue to do what you know is right anyway.
Today's Topic: Neither Be Of Doubtful Mind... Fear Not...
Author: Jerry Savelle
Verse(s): Luke 12:32
Today's Confession: I am not afraid. He knows my every need and will take care of me!
Have you ever noticed that the things that Jesus said belong to us are the very things that Satan tries to get us to worry about the most? He tries to make us doubt that God will ever give us the necessities of life. Just before Jesus left the earth, He said, "Lo, I will be with you always (Matthew 28:20)." He also said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5)."
In spite of what Jesus promised, many Christians still suffer from insecurity, which is one of the greatest of all fears. Satan wants the Christians to be insecure, and he attacks them with everything imaginable in order to cause them to worry and fret.
Deuteronomy 8:18 says, "But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swear unto thy fathers, as it is this day." Yet, many people still greatly fear that they are not going to have enough to meet their needs.
Fear is a spiritual force that will destroy a right mental attitude. That is the reason Jesus said, "Take no thought ...fear not ...Be not of doubtful mind." He said, "Don't you know that your heavenly Father loves you and will take care of you? There is no need for you to worry about anything. Oh, ye of little faith" (author's paraphrase).
If Satan can create fear in your heart and cause you to have a wrong mental attitude, he can stop you from receiving the blessings of God. Satan comes to kill, to steal, and to destroy. Fear is what opens the door of your life for him.
In Luke 12:32, Jesus said, "Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Fear is the parent of three great diseases that infect the human mind. Apathy, inertia and procrastination are brought on by fear. Apathy means "becoming indifferent, having a lack of motivation." Inertia is "inactivity and passiveness." Procrastination means to hold back and to put off until later."
Jesus said, "Take no thought." Why does He say this?
Somebody said, "Well, I just can't do that. I can't live on this earth without thinking about my needs, without thinking about what I am going to wear, and without thinking about food and shelter." He didn't say, "Don't think!" He is implying that we shouldn't worry about anything.
Jesus is talking about "doubtful thinking" here or "negative thinking." He said, "Take no thought for these things for your heavenly Father knoweth that you have need of them." And He said, "Fear not ...it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
So don't worry today. Don't be afraid. Take no thought. It's your Father's good pleasure to give YOU the kingdom!
Sandi Krakowski
Disbelief is a negative power. When we doubt our mind builds up reasons to support our disbelief. The will to fail is then born! #BEMORE
Dr. Caroline Leaf
Through our senses we receive Satan's lies, but we don't have to believe those lies. If we do, we process them into physical realities!
June 6, 2013. Let Me disengage you from the seemingly endless cycle of frustration you are in. Only you and I know the depth of inner struggles you encounter on a daily basis. Stop receiving the lies Satan holds over you. He knows your areas of weakness and constantly bombards you with tempting, tantalizing and alluring thoughts. Allow Me to usher you to a safe place, to a position of unequivocal peace. In your heart and mind, return to where you surrendered to My saving grace. Accept My forgiveness. Receive freedom. Believe My truth.
Romans 8:2 (NLT) "And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death." Kevin Robinson

Your Wedding Photography has just been upgraded.
When it comes to booking your Wedding Photography our Core Package was always a tough one to beat. At it's heart there was a simplified approach to story telling – I realised early on that a wedding was a big enough story and where I fit in as a wedding photographer. I've always wanted the photographs to speak for themselves – no gimmicks, and not too many buzz words to fluff it all up.
Reportage Photographers and Documentary photographers everywhere. And here's me, just a simple good quality Wedding Photographer in Surrey wanting to keep things unconstrained and true to the people and weddings I photograph. Good strong portraiture and honest capture and storytelling.
The Core package was designed to represent the Best Value Wedding Photography you could get, and included just everything you could need in from your wedding photographer – unlimited attendance, unlimited pictures taken, no watching the clock, as many images as I could get you, an album and a pre wedding shoot. A bunch of stuff.
And it's been rocking along like that for around 10 years in basically the same format. And all of my clients have loved it!
For some time I've wanted to boost the Core Package. Give it something extra. We've been unable to add more products, simply because it's too expensive to keep doing that – we were already at the limit of what we could include at the price. The albums – what used to be called the Fusion Range – have slowly been getting better and better and along with our book binder we're very proud to be able to say that the albums were (and still are) completely unique to Alexander Leaman Photography. The Framing has also become it's own beast and our in-house printing is even more stunning than ever before.
But the Core Package was always meant to grow – I just didn't know how.
Over the years I've found, we've found, that our couples were the ones driving the change. Coming up with their own take on what they wanted their Wedding Photography to be. We started hearing some great ideas – that's how Fusion was born and our Timeline Frames. We collaborated, and the Core Package was flexible to re-structure to fit individual couple's needs.
All of the Core Wedding Photography and principles were always still in place – the products became the add ons making almost every Core Package a different collection of ideas.
In the end there wasn't anything we could do to stop it! The Core package had evolved into it's natural state. A boutique collection of Wedding Photography Packages which we're calling our "Core Collections"
I'm really proud of what we've been able to achieve with the new Collections – retaining the essence of what was always great about the original Core Package, and pushing the boundaries, enabling the CoreCollections to become their own thing.
With everything in place for next year and beyond, and with the flexibility to add Winter Wedding variations, there has never been more focus on getting our future brides and grooms the absolute best in Wedding Photography that can be found.
Please see our Prices page for the full run down and visit our Contact page to connect with us and discuss your Wedding Photography.
We can't wait to get started.

With the development in science and technology, more and more advertisements are found in our life everywhere, in TV, news paper,website and even in cell phone, and so on. Some person are hold positive attitude towards it. However others are oppose to the situation in finding fixed advertisements overall. In my mind that every thing has pros and cons and the final effect depends on specific situations, which is also suitable for advertisement's issue.
In certain situation the advertisements really brings us some convenience and help us making likelihood reasonable decision in shopping.
There are some advertisements are placed on the footer or sides on website, on the apps installed in cell phone, therefore we already acquired some discount information and have overview to some commodities in usual. It is not difficult for us to hunt the expected commodity in short time. In this case it saves us time and efforts.
However the advertisement is produced by enterprise them self, and it leads to every commodity in advertisement is attractive and worthwhile. The famous stars are always be invited as advertising spokesperson. People may be right the fans to the advertising spokesperson and also believe that the commodity has outstanding quality. In this case the advertisement it misleads consumption and abuse the celebrities.
Therefore we should not depend on advertisements deeply and reading news paper regularly to pay attention to the newsrelated with commodity and enterprise, if there is any accident or disadvantage discuss about them. And it is better to learn or master some common methods to identify commodity' quality by our self.

Public relations (PR) as defined by Pembroke (2013), is vital to effective communication, being the "deliberate, planned and sustained effort to establish and maintain a mutual understanding between an organisation or individual and its publics".
Digital platforms have changed PR strategies as they give organisations further tools to engage with their audience. They grant self-publishing rights and give organisations the opportunity to 'own' their media channels. Organisations no longer have to rely on traditional media coverage through media entities to reach their audience (Pembroke 2013), which signifies a great cost reduction too. There are minimal distribution limits to digital platforms: information can spread rapidly and interaction can be achieved instantly.
Image credit: Pop Results
Information can be shared and interaction can be achieved at the click of a button.
Digital platforms facilitate digital storytelling, where an organisation can be an observer, participator, researcher, facilitator, curator and storyteller (Burgess & Vivienne 2013). Digital storytelling is the fastest way to achieve mass communication, as organisations are able to observe the interplay, agreements and disagreements of their audience. It allows for active and passive research, as organisations are able to both ask and learn about their audience (Blank 2010). This is also similar to the way journalism has evolved in the digital world. Journalists are no longer reporting to a passive audience, as readers are able to engage with the content to become a participator, researcher and curator, not only an observer.
Brisbane-based online clothing store, Black Milk Clothing, encourages customers to post photos on Instagram, wearing their clothing purchase and utilising a corresponding hashtag. Black Milk then links (and curates) these posts to their website, so potential buyers can readily see what their pieces look like on other customers.
British makeup brand, Illamasqua, utilises a YouTube account to publish video tutorials using their makeup. This shows their customers practical and creative uses for their products and gives Illamasqua the opportunity to listen to feedback and interact with their audience.
Digital is different as the interaction happens extremely quickly and publicly. Any delay in communication can have a negative impact on the audience, and as Norton (2013) suggests, an internal approval system for digital correspondence is ill-fitted to the speed at which digital operates. Organisations, therefore, need to be properly equipped and responsive concerning their digital presence.
Hertz have social media staff employed 24/7 to focus on customer enquiries, compliments and complaints received via Twitter.
Digital is also different as the reach and level of engagement can be measured via data in terms of effectiveness. Pembroke (2013) states "analytics on websites show how long people stayed on the page, where they visited from, if comments were left and what other pages they visited". Therefore, the success of an organisation's digital engagement aims, objectives and outcomes can be evaluated through the: reach – the number of people who saw the message; interest – the number of people interested enough to engage in some way (share, like, comment); and influence – the number of people driven to take secondary action (e.g. sign a petition or enter a competition) (Norton 2013).
Birdsong, a social media reconnaissance tool, displays an insight into the success of Redbull's Facebook engagement.
Digital platforms can interact with non-digital platforms where the audience is driven from the non-digital, to the digital, via a call to action. A good example is through a QR (quick reference) code – a two-dimensional barcode that is a visual representation of a web address. Organisations can utilise non-digital platforms such as product packaging to drive customers to engage with the brand online – continuing the storytelling.
Coca-Cola (Coke) German cans were printed with a QR code that referred customers to their Spring campaign webpage, where Coke planned to release details of exclusive, one-time only, music shows in German cities.
Digital newspapers are also a different example of digital interacting with the non-digital. Online versions of newspapers and entirely digital newspapers are becoming more common. For example, Guardian Australia is a solely digital newspaper.
Guardian Australia puts their readers at the "heart of what they do" and encourages suggestions, corrections, clarification, engagement and debate.
Overall, digital platforms drive organisations to reconsider how they communicate. Digital has evolved PR strategies through granting organisations effective avenues to market their content, measure their success and adjust their approach to remain relevant to the audience.

DrugMonkey asks; Decriminalization: What would happen?
I am happy to answer. Accepting of course, that I have no special knowledge of the future and what it will actually look like. But I can make some pretty reasonable hypotheses.
First, I will note that I think decriminalization would be about the stupidest thing we could do. It ignores too many of the reasons we have made it illicit in the first place and creates an environment in which regulation is far more of a challenge.
Legalization is a great way to solve a lot more problems and create a much greater tax base. And I believe that from a harm reduction standpoint, it is a win, even when dealing with addiction. But I would like to step back from that, onto a point that applies to both legalization and decriminalization. Please bear with me, as to fully extend my hypothesis requires throwing prostitution and even gambling into the mix - though it's not absolutely necessary.
I would argue that just as important as the discussion of drug users and potential new drug users, is the cost of the illegal nature of drugs to society as a whole. We'll split it up into it's different aspects, though there is some overlap.
First factor is the direct financial cost. We are spending untold billions every year, both in fighting the war on drugs and imprisoning offenders. Several states are spending significant percentages of their budgets on maintaining our massive prison and jail populations. In a lot of states, drug offenses account for better than half the incarcerations at any given time. The state of MI for example, spends better than sixty percent of it's budget on incarcerations. This does not include what we spend on addiction treatment and research. On top of that, we spend billions every year, just on prosecuting the war on drugs.
By ending the war on drugs, we could save a lot of that money and move some of it into the realms of treatment and research. By ending the overarching war on vice, we could reduce the incarcerated population even more and save even more money.
Second, doing so would help foment stability in some notoriously unstable regions of the world. While I have no illusions that legalization would put cocaine lords in Columbia out of business, it would legitimize their business and remove much of the impetus to maintain the volatile status quo. And in the poppy fields of the mid east it would do wonders for farmers, while possibly making it easier to dislodge some of the local warlords who are in turn, supporting or directly engaged in terrorism. Which brings us headlong into my next point.
Third, we would be decimating a major source of funding for terrorists of all stripes. It's not just Jihadis who fund their activities through the illicit drug trade. The IRA did it, the PLO has and probably still does it. Hamas has had it's hands in it and probably still does. German national socialist groups do it. White supremacist groups in the U.S. do it, in the hopes of committing attacks on U.S. soil. Anyone who wants to have a hidden source of ready cash, can and often does turn to illicit drug dealing. And terrorists top the list of folks who need ready cash they don't have to account for (maybe behind our own intelligence organizations).
Finally, we get to crime. Not the specific crime of using/dealing illicit drugs - we're ignoring that in this point. I'm talking about related crime and this is where prostitution and gambling come into play. Because the vast majority of violent crime in the U.S. is related to one of those three trades.
I won't try to pretend that decrim or legalization is going to eliminate it. I won't even claim that everyone who engages in vice related violent crime will stop using violence. But the fact of the matter is, that there will be an inevitable and significant reduction in violent crime, when the war on vice is ended and vice is legal and safe. The majority of people who get into the illicit trades and by default end up involved in violent crime, would not go there is there wasn't a significant profit to be had from it.
You don't see the guy who owns the convenience store up the street, shooting it out with his dairy supplier, because he got a load of rotten milk. Why not? I mean if the crack dealer at the other end of the block gets a bunk supply, he's likely to go out ready to kick some serious ass, if he doesn't go out with a loaded gun. Well, the convenience store owner has the law on his side. He has legitimate venues in which to seek redress. The crack dealer simply doesn't and violent crime happens.
I realize that I'm ignoring the factor of how this affects the drug users themselves. I will try to get to it, but anyone who's read my blog knows to take that with a grain of salt. Ultimately, I don't believe that the affect on users and abusers is as important as the affect on the rest of society. As it stands, we all are paying a massive price for a proven abysmal failure and the users and abusers are suffering for it too. Bottom line, we're at a point where it can only get better from here.

in the abstract
latebinding - more flexible usage, slower to run, will lack some of the intellisense functions in the development environment, need to be a lot cleverer about design & error trapping
early binding - should be faster to run / instantiate, less flexible - ie can't / harder to switch objects / classes at run time.
whether you (or your users) will neccesarily see the benefits / disadvantages is a moot point.
but a lot depends onthe environment you are developing in

did you ever heard about OpenACS?

from healdem explaination, it's looks like early binding better than late binding.is there any existing system that implement late binding?

Any uncompiled format (vbscript, ASP) - these formats cannot have foreknowledge of the objects before run time. So - you can only use late binding with these. The gist is - if you can use early binding without any problems (e.g. DLL hell) do it.Testimonial:

Anyone can do a good deed, but some good works can only happen by an act of God. Around the world these acts are called miracles - not that even religious people expect to see one any time soon. But what would happen if millions of ordinary people walked out each morning expecting God to deliver a miracle through them to a person in need? You Were Born for This starts with the dramatic premise that everyone at all times is in need of a miracle, and that God is ready to meet those needs supernaturally through ordinary people who are willing to learn the "protocol of heaven."In the straightforward, story-driven, highly motivating style for which he is known, Wilkinson describes how anyone can be a 'Delivery Guy' from heaven in such universally significant arenas of life as finances, practical help, relationships, purpose and spiritual growth.You Were Born for This will change how you see see your world and show you what you can expect God to do through you to meet real needs. You will master seven simple tools of service, and come to say with confidence, "I want to deliver a supernatural gift from God to someone in need today - and I expect to!"More

Great reminder of God's continued love for us!
I would recommend this book! Anyone that has been sitting on the sidelines waiting to see how God works in their lives, is reminded through this book that God wants to work through us! Great examples of people both experienced and unexperienced opening themselves up and serving God in their lives, keep this very interesting and motivating!
The examples pulled together and made clear the methods that help us get into the action of serving a great God by helping other people experience God's miracles in their lives.
Both Biblical references and examples of how it was lived out, showed and proved to me the area of life that I want to be part of, where God uses even us to bring God's blessings to others.
Having been on the receiving end of God's miracles, it was powerful to hear of examples of what it was like to be on the serving end. The story of the minister who was ready to leave ministry until God brought the miracle in his life made me cry as I thought of times in my ministry where I have felt that same way.

(Updates to confirm that all firms now in compliance, adds Reuters Instrument Codes)
BEIJING, June 30 (Reuters) - A total of 7,220 tonnes of CO2 permits were auctioned by the Shanghai carbon exchange on Monday, the bourse said, enabling local firms to meet a deadline to comply with their carbon targets.
The permits, sold to companies at a minimum price of 48 yuan ($7.73) per tonne, were only a small fraction of the 580,000 tonnes of permits put on offer by the Shanghai government, but were enough to allow seven laggard firms to meet their targets, the exchange confirmed.
"All of the companies have complied with their targets, with two of the seven laggard companies buying the permits they needed from the auction and the other five surrendering on time," said Tong Yan, founder of ideacarbon, a Chinese consultancy based in Shanghai.
"We didn't expect a higher bidding price from the auction -all the big shortfalls had been filled if you look at the trading volumes since the auction was announced," said Tong.
The 191 local firms covered by the scheme faced a Monday deadline to buy permits to cover their emissions in 2013. The secondary market for permits closed last Friday, with a final price of 39.4 yuan per tonne.
Companies buying permits have to surrender them to the government by June 30 to cover their emissions, but a shortage of permits on the market had made it difficult for some of the bigger emitters to comply, forcing Shanghai to announce the last-day auction.
Seventy percent of carbon permits on the exchange are allocated to large state firms such as the Baoshan Iron and Steel Corp., Huaneng Power, and Shenergy Corp, which has impeded liquidity.
But after a rise in activity in the last few days of trade, only seven of the 191 companies had not yet met their targets, according to an official note published on Friday.
"There is limited demand from the remaining seven companies, and the ratio of sellers to buyers was rising in the last couple of days, which put pressure on prices and encouraged most companies to buy all they needed from the market," said Tong.
The Shanghai Environment Energy Exchange launched the market last November, and is one of seven pilot carbon trading exchanges in China.
Shanghai handed over three years of permits for free in a one-off allocation in 2013, and it allows companies to bank surplus permits to use over the following years.
Shanghai issued 160 million permits overall for the compliance year 2013, and more than 1.5 million permits changed hands in the seven months since the market opened.
Shanghai has not yet opened its market to speculative investors, and the permits made available at Monday's auction could only be bought by companies struggling to meet their targets.

Fish Can Sing Paperback
by Halldor Laxness
Abandoned as a baby, Alfgrimur is content to spend his days as a fisherman living in the turf cottage outside Reykjavik with the elderly couple he calls grandmother and grandfather.
There he shares the mid-loft with a motley bunch of eccentrics and philosophers who find refuge in the simple respect for their fellow men that is the ethos at the Brekkukot.
But the narrow horizons of Alfgrimur's idyllic childhood are challenged when he starts school and meets Iceland's most famous singer, the mysterious Garoar Holm.
Garoar encourages him to aim for the 'one true note', but how can he attain it without leaving behind the world that he loves?

Review by wandering_star
This is an episodic tale of a boy growing up in an Iceland which is still very traditional, but starting to be affected by the outside world. It manages to combine the cadences of a storytelling tradition with a dry humour (one of the episodes starts, "I have now said something about fish, but I have not said anything yet about the Bible". At first I thought this was going to be about the coming clash between tradition and modernity, and I suppose that is one of the underlying themes, but ultimately it turns into a sort of morality tale - all illustrating, as the grandmother says, that "Slow good luck is best". If I have a criticism, it's that - because the story was episodic - there wasn't much narrative pull - so that once I put the book down, I didn't rush to pick it up again. But when I did pick it up, its charm drew me in again quickly.

What is PRP for Hair Restoration?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, it's a method that uses your own blood platelets to stimulate hair growth. PRP can help patients who are experiencing thinning hair to achieve a fuller head of hair safely and naturally.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and requires no downtime. It is minimally-invasive, and patients generally experience little to no discomfort associated with this procedure.
How is PRP for Hair Restoration Performed?
PRP is a simple procedure that begins by gently numbing the area to be treated with a local anesthetic. While waiting for it to take effect, a blood sample is collected to be separated in a centrifuge. Once separated the platelet rich plasma is placed in a syringe so it can be injected just below the scalp's surface. A single procedure typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes.
Benefits of PRP for Hair Restoration
People regularly choose PRP for hair restoration because it is such a simple procedure. It can also provide some tremendous benefits, a few of which include:
- Little to no risk of reaction
- Stimulates hair follicle growth
- Can reduce miniaturization (shrinking of hair follicles)
- Works for both men and women
- Benefits are seen gradually over time, making it less noticeable you've undergone a procedure
- Preparing for PRP for Hair Restoration
Recovery from PRP for Hair Restoration
Your scalp may feel slightly numb just after a treatment, but this feeling should go away on its own within a couple of hours. In the meantime, you are free to resume normal activities.
Is PRP for Hair Restoration Right for Me?
PRP can be an effective method to help If you have thinning hair. It cannot be used to fill in bald spots. Your scalp should be in good condition with no open sores or lesions. The best way to know if this procedure is a good fit for you is to schedule a consultation.

Is there a dorsally exophytic growth pattern in pilocytic brainstem astrocytomas?
Search Medline for
|May 13, 2014
Objective: The growth pattern of pilocytic brainstem astrocytomas remains challenging in these rare lesions, but its understanding in the individual patient is essential for a tailored approach, complete removal and quality of life.
Method: From a series of 500 patients operated upon for posterior fossa lesions between 2002 and 2013, 21 pediatric and young adult patients were identified with pilocytic astrocytomas and evaluated with respect to growth pattern, extent of resection on MRI and functional outcome.
Results: A dorsally exophytic growth pattern could not be identified in any of the cases. Three each harbored focal endophytic and cerebellar tumors. 15 peduncular lesions (midline approach n=9, retrosigmoid n=4, combined n=2) were identified and further investigated. Out of these 15 cases a growth pattern from the peduncle into the 4th ventricle, mimicking a dorsally exophytic growth was seen in 9, a lateral growth towards the CPA in 4 cases. In two cases a lateral to medial growth pattern from the peduncle was encountered, pushing the floor of the ventricle dorsally. Tumor removal was complete in all cases but two. Additional morbidity was seen with the midline and combined approach.
Conclusions: The understanding of growth patterns in peduncular astrocytomas provides a safe surgical corridor and is essential for complete removal and functional integrity. The entity of a dorsally exophytic pattern needs to be discussed, since all cases, appearing as dorsally exophytic on MRI, eventually had a peduncular origin with respect to the vascular supply, predominantly coming from the peduncles and not from the ventricular floor.

Before you start: I don't hate multiplayer gaming, okay?
In fact, on a Friday night, there's little I enjoy more than kicking back with a beer, a Spartan and a plasma grenade or two.
I was a late adopter of multiplayer gaming (chiefly because I'm a horrible person to play with – I have the reflexes of a plasticine potato), but late to the Xbox Live Party or not, some of us have an itch that only a Team Deathmatch can scratch.
But while some games draw huge numbers of multiplayer fans, others – bloated, buggy or unceremoniously broken – fall out of fan favour with alarming speed.
The problem?
They're multiplayer modes stapled, crudely, inelegantly – unnecessarily – onto a hitherto single-player title.
Shooting things dead, while a hell of a lot of fun, is not the be-all-and-end-all of a gripping multiplayer experience"
Don't get me wrong, some multiplayer modes can be fantastic. Cooperative combat, when done right, is immensely enjoyable, and holds down its perfect place in a gamer's universe.
It's all about collaboration - tactics, communication, support, teamwork. These games bring socialisation to an otherwise very singular experience.
But they're not necessarily needed, right?
And shooting things dead, while a hell of a lot of fun, is not the be-all-and-end-all of a gripping multiplayer experience.
There are some titles where multiplayer or co-op modes sit in perfect harmony alongside their solo siblings. They're disappointingly rare, but titles like Portal 2 illustrate how a carefully crafted cooperative extension can be a valuable experience that blossoms, organically, from the single-player story.
And, yeah, I enjoyed the multiplayer on Max Payne 3 and The Last of Us, too, even though the solo campaigns chiefly saw you moving around a third-person world experiencing solitary happenings. But sometimes you had a partner, and you shot a lot of stuff – so it works.
Kind of.
Done right, as with Mass Effect 3, it can be a surprising bonus"
Resident Evil, however? Far Cry 3? Ryse: Son of Rome? Dead Space?
Isolation is hardwired into the fabric of Dead Space's DNA. It's a masterclass in crafting perfect survival horror, where you wander through an abandoned ship, tense and terrified, dreading the next horrifying encounter.
It's not about high-fiving your nearest bro and obliterating wave upon wave of Necromorphs.
The issue isn't merely about offering multiplayer modes in single-player games – done right, as with Mass Effect 3, it can be a surprising bonus.
The issue is when the multiplayer feels disparate, clumsy and tacked-on, lacking depth and substance, recycling old environments and offering no new perspective to the game's wider narrative.
If a game needs to stuff a multiplayer mode next to a single-player campaign to justify the cost, or the development time, or a short solo campaign, then the game needs more than derivative multiplayer to put those issues right.
Massive titles like Bioshock Infinite can hit the top of the charts without an online option"
We don't all need a shoot-'em-up multiplayer to justify a purchase. And if massive titles like Bioshock Infinite can hit the top of the charts without an online option, this should be evidence enough that gamers don't always want them.
(Maybe a lesson was learned after Bioshock 2's foray into multiplayer?)
Yet even Tomb Raider's excellent 2013 reboot shipped with a clumsy, paint-by-numbers multiplayer campaign.
I don't need multiplayer foisted on me, thanks. Keep my single-player games single, and if I feel like being sociable, I'll jump on Halo. Deal?
