Ahmed Ezz says "Noway Jose" but is finally forced to take that DNA test!
Although Egyptian actor Ahmed Ezz refused to undergo a DNA test to prove that fellow Egyptian actress Zeina's twins are his, based on his lawyer Murtada Mansour's advice, who informed him that Zeina filed a complaint against him to the General Court, not the Family Court, meaning he is entitled to say no to a paternity test; he's now no choice but to go down to that lab and get the test over and done with, after a new court order demanded he does this week.
According to Laha Magazine, Ahmad won't back down that easily! The accused and his lawyer are fighting tooth and nail and want to appeal to the court in the hopes of dodging the test.
More on the matter, Zeina has requested her lawyer, Essam Qandeel, not to make any public statements to the media about the progress of her trial. The decision was made after Ezz accused Zeina of speaking out in public to try and weaken his image. By not saying a word, Zeina is proving to her "secret hubby" that she really isn't doing so.

How the themes of communism, Maarxism, class struggles and industrial revolution are expressd in the novel?
can you give me some example?

The book The Time Machine is about a scientist who develops a machine that allows him to travel through time. He comes upon an Utopian society where all the members seemingly live in peace and harmony. This is supposed to be the demonstration of socialism or communism.
However, all is not what it seems to be. There is another class of people who are actually more dominant than the people that he is with. These are the people who use the people he meets as food. He soon learns that these are two distinct classes of people.

Traits in RPGs:
1 Game Chainsaw, Thu, 12th May '11 4:02:18 PM from sunshine and rainbows!
The Shadows Devour You.This is bouncing off two things; my Psychological Factors in RP Gs thread and my love of Total War. In Total War, at least before Shogun II, your generals got traits based on their behaviours in battle. A general who led from the front got courage based traits. A general who was good at attacking got bonuses when leading charges; one who defended well got the opposite bonus. I was wondering if traits, rather than (just) stats, could be applied to RP Gs. For example, say a character associated water with a traumatic event. They could have a chance of flinching every time a water attack hit, or if they were fighting near (or worse, under) water. This phobia could worsen or get better depending on what happened. Thats one idea I can think of for now, anyone else?

The Shadows Devour You.^Ah, forgot about Fallout. I was more thinking of traits which develop based on playstyle rather than under they players direct control. They're more like trends.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 as well. Also, you can develop phobias in Zettai Hero Project when you're killed by a monster.

One of our projects at the Cambridge Secondary School was to install a biofuel system to run the gas stoves in the kitchen.
Imagine, the poor cooks had to prepare three meals a day for over 200 kids, over a charcoal brazier which spews toxic fumes and the coal comes from trees in the forests which are quickly being denuded.
The new system is awesome: pipes from the latrines feed the methane gas to the kitchen and directly to the stoves. As long as the cooks keep feeding the kids and the kids keep pooping, there will always be gas to run the stoves. What a wonderful system.
Next we hope to have it hooked up to run the electricity as well. Hopefully we will have enough money when we go to the school in October to make such improvements.

SINGLE DAD'S TRIPLE TROUBLE (4) by Fiona Lowe: Doctors Elly Ruddock and Gabe Lewis had it all. They worked together, traveled together and were completely compatible in every way but one. Elly yearned to settle down and start a family while Gabe wanted to see the world, so they split up. Now, two years later, a lot has changed. Elly has moved to a tiny coastal hamlet on the island of Tasmania. She has not forgotten Gabe, but she is dating a nice man who wants a family with her. But her plan is derailed when Elly runs into Gabe; however, he is not the same man that she walked away from. This Gabe is more mature and caring to patients. Elly doesn't know what to attribute the changes to, but Gabe does. He is now the father of toddler triplets. Elly is initially upset, but understanding once she hears the full story. Although they decide to "just be friends", it is not long before they are back in bed and each other's hearts. The short flashbacks of their previous romance are both sweet and heart wrenching. The past haunting this couple feels so real, that at times it is difficult to imagine that they will be able to work out their differences. These are two flawed characters both regretting the past and working hard for a better future and realizing that they will always be stronger together.

Buy These Leading Pharma Companies
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A recent EvaluatePharma report estimated the market for prescribed drugs will increase at an annual rate of 3.8% to $895 billion from 2012 to 2018. New patents and improvement in research and development will bolster companies' portfolios, while a growing population and better access to healthcare will be key factors driving the market size for drugs. Pharmaceutical companies are working hard to capitalize on the growing market. Three such pharmaceutical companies should be of interest to investors. These companies have promising drugs for the treatment of cancer, heart disease, and immunologic disorders.
The next blockbuster drug underway
Oncologic drugs contributed 13.8% to Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) revenue last year. The company has three drugs in this business segment, Yervoy, Sprycel, and Erbitux. Yervoy treats skin cancer and generated revenue of around $721 million last year. This drug has high efficiency in treating Melanoma, and it is widely used to treat inoperable patients.
In addition, Bristol-Myers's new drug under development, Nivolumab, showed positive results with a response rate of 31% when tested with Yervoy in its second trial stage. The company expects that the combination of both drugs will provide a breakthrough in the treatment of melanoma. Therefore, it estimates that the sales of Yervoy will increase and reach $1.06 billion in 2013.
Plavix was a Bristol-Myers blockbuster drug with revenue of $2.54 billion in the last year. Its patent expired last year and generic drugs flooded the market. As a result of the competition from generic drugs, sales of the Plavix fell around 65%, which can result in significantly lower revenue of $130 million this year.
To offset the plunging revenue, Bristol-Myers developed the anti-coagulant drug "Eliquis" jointly with Pfizer (NYSE: PFE). This drug received FDA approval in late 2012 and generated revenue of $2 million last year, and it is expected to reach around $242 million this year.
In the test, Eliquis reduced the stroke risk compared to Warfarin, a competitor of Eliquis. Eliquis showed stroke risk of 1.27% per year, whereas Warfarin had risk of 1.60% per year. With this competitive advantage, analysts anticipate that this drug can achieve peak revenue of around $3.5 billion by the end of 2020.
Pfizer will also benefit from the approval of Eliquis, as this drug achieved average sales of $26 million in the first two months after the launch. The clinical profile of Eliquis is superior to its competitors in this segment, and it also received approval for the treatment of hypertension. Due to its dual benefits, this drug has the potential to generate sales of $121 million in the current fiscal year.
Strong performance is here to stay
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced its second quarter results this month, and it achieved 8.5% year-over-year sales growth to $17.9 billion. With the standout performance of Remicade, its sales increased in the pharmaceutical business. Remicade treats arthritis, certain bowel diseases, and skin diseases as well.
The company has been marketing this drug in the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and China, but due to a new contract with Merck, it will increase the marketing of this product to the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific region. With the expanding footprint of Remicade, the company expects to generate revenue around $9 billion this year in the immunology segment, up from $7.8 billion last year.
Johnson & Johnson's revenue in the consumer healthcare segment grew by 1.1%, year-over-year and generated $3.6 billion in the second quarter of 2013. The company is the global market leader in this segment. Under the umbrella of consumer healthcare, it sells OTC drugs like Tylenol, Zyrtec, and Benadryl. These drugs treat patients suffering from the common cold, allergies, and coughs and are readily available without prescription. The global market of OTC drugs is expected to reach to $34.5 billion by 2015, which will lead to an increase in revenue for Johnson & Johnson. With the increase in market size and the company's flagship products, analysts expect its revenue to rise from $4.34 billion last year to $4.54 billion this year.
Bristol-Myers' revenue from Yervoy and Eliquis will offset the patent expiration of Plavix. Pfizer will also gain from Eliquis, due to better market positioning and the efficiency of this drug. Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson's will capitalize on its drug Remicade and the surging market of OTC drugs.

Peony's Red Lip Glamour
Red lips are Peony's signature beauty look and a classic style that has become the little black dress of make-up looks. "Red lips are what people know me for beauty wise, so it was fun to play with the idea. It's classic and chic but also fun and kitsch. I think a red lip always makes you feel brave."
Kay shows us two different ways to try a red lip playing with different shapes and textures. The first is an exagerated cupid's bow, a look associated with 20s style. For a perfect finish, start by covering your natural lip shape with foundation or a dab of concealer and then painting in the lip colour with a brush. The next look is a more natural shape, following the natural line of Peony's lips, finishing with a high shine lip gloss. With red lipstick, the challenge is to find a shade you like but a classic cream finish scarlet is a good place to start.

From mumblecore maestro Andrew Bujalski (Funny Ha Ha) comes a witty ensemble comedy masquerading – very convincingly – as an early '80s documentary.
At a weekend conference in a bland US hotel, a crowd of software programmers pit their clunky primitive computers against each other in virtual chess games. The hotel's also hosting a group of daffy new agers.
Shooting in B&W (barring one brief colour episode) on a vintage video camera, Bujalski has endless fun with his cast of geeks spouting richly pretentious – and often pot-addled – dialogue while unleashing their competitive instincts.
Abundant extras, too.

God Is Not Found In Religious Teaching, But In Ourselves.
Anybody who follows a religious teaching is basing their faith on the belief on somebody else's knowledge... somebody other than themselves and thus by doing so they will never come to know God as is but only by how the bible teaches it...
Many Christians live by the bible and allows it to define themselves in who they are... as in the bible is my life, I am a Christian and this is who I am.
The bible tells us that God is a Spirit and so if God created us in his image then guess what? we are not made in the image of man but in the image of God which is the image of spirit and that is perfection.
Christians don't realize that the teaching are only there for us so that it may assist us to be more conscious and aware of who we are and who we are is "Spirit"... So we are here to live a spiritual life by just being ourselves which is the fully consciousness aware self.
Most Christians worship God by the intellectual understanding of the holy-bible rather than worshiping spiritually... but see what people don't realize is that by worshiping God it is worshiping ourselves for we and God are Spirits that exist as one.
Even Jesus tells us in the bible that the Kingdom of Heaven exist within us.
All I can say is that God does exist but not in religion but within ourselves... When you come to know yourself as you are, then you will come to know all things as it is. This is the hardest to comprehend... but to know yourself you must not know yourself... deny yourself in order to accept yourself, to die in order to live, Die in the Ego and become reborn into the self and here is where you will find out who you truly are and will know the existence of all things in God and in Heaven.
This one is good. Its funny! If God made us in his image perhaps he is not perfect. Cause no body is physically perfect.
I posted on your other post, but so glad I read this one too. Once again, I totally agree with you. In fact I have I hard time in deciding to classify myself as Christian or not. I mean, really to me it doesn't matter. But I do feel that I am close to Christ, and follow the Christ-conciousness. I have a problem with the Christian church in that most do not seem to really follow Christ's way of living. So I have a hard time when someone asks me if I'm a Christian. I consider myself a Christian in that I follow Christ, but not a Christian in that the "Christian" religion condemns non-believers to hell, and judges all other religions as non-worthy and blasphemy. I find teachings of great worth, and Christ-like, in all religions.
I'm very impressed, these follow my own views without considering myself Christian. I've often been agitated by certain views expressed by religion which has proved.....very constricted. Reading this gives me more faith in those who follow religion, that not all are blindly accepting the changes made to its original form to try and idealize truth.

However my question remains: If you understand that there is no one clear religion, that many help lead to the path of "spirit", then what has driven you to choose to be under the title of one interpretation? Are you "Christian" if you accept the teachings of many? Or are you simply a follower of God, the spirit, whichever form taken?
I won't hash out particulars of religious belief here, just some general (very logical, not spiritual) observations from spending most of my education in Christian schools and some rather harsh churches that believed in being "saved"...

I've never known such hostile, miserable people. But Why? If you believe that you have salvation, and have the Holy Spirit inside of you, what are you so angry about? I came to the conclusion that the moment of being "saved" and feeling the spirit is a feeling that is similar to those moments of enlightenment. But while a Buddhist is meant to keep pursuing this, the Fundementalist is expected to have this one experience last for the rest of their lives...and if it doesn't, then you must be wrong. You must be "bad" somehow. If you feel let down, you can hardly blame Jesus. Even following all those punitive rules brings no peace. It causes bitterness and anger. Maybe even warps the psyche. Seeing so much hostility drove me right out.

I could go on at length about the problems with searching for solutions outside of oneself when the answers are inside, but I won't right now, maybe another time...
makes perfect sence to me and you explain it soo well …good job puzzle guy
I agree with you that religion is not where God is found!

God is not found in religion. In fact, Jesus spoke against religious hypocrisy.

Religion keeps people from God and from the truth because it focuses on man's achievements -rather then on God.

However, We are not gods, and God cannot be found by looking inside of ourselves.

God is only found through His gift to us; eternal life through His son.

"The kingdom of heaven is within you"

The word "within" in the Greek is "entos," which is accurately translated "in the midst of".

It's interesting to note that Jesus was actually speaking in this passage to the religious hypocrites of the day.

He would not have told these people that they had the kingdom of heaven within themselves!

Rather, He was telling them that the kingdom of heaven was within their midst.

The kingdom of heaven is among us -if we have Christ with us.

Non-surgical procedures accounted for 82 per cent of cosmetic enhancements carried out in the US last year, according to new figures.
Annual statistics published this week (March 20th) by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), show such procedures now account for almost a third (32 per cent) of expenditure on cosmetic procedures.
Dr Jeffrey M Kenkel MD, president of ASAPS, predicted that demand in this sector would remain an area of strong growth "as baby boomers and their offspring begin to explore surgical options".
"Minimally-invasive procedures such as Botox and soft tissue fillers work to a point. However, as you age and gravity takes over, surgical procedures that lift the skin and reshape the underlying tissues are necessary in order to show significant improvement," he added.
Of the total $6.2 billion (£3.9 million) spent on surgical procedures in 2011, $1.7 billion (£1.07 billion) was spent on injectable procedures, spend on skin rejuvenation procedures totalled $1.6 billion (£1 billion) and $360 million (£226.81 million) was spent on other non-surgical procedures including laser hair removal.

Promissory Estoppel
Definition of 'Promissory Estoppel'
The legal principle that a promise is enforceable by law when the promisor (person making the promise) makes a promise to the promisee (person being promised) who relies on it to his or her detriment. A promissory estoppel is intended to stop the promisor from denying that the statements, words or even conduct did not happen. This is a legal doctrine used in the United States and other legal systems around the world.
Investopedia explains 'Promissory Estoppel'
Promissory estoppel allows a party to recover on a promise. It prevents, or estops, a person from arguing that his or her promise should not be upheld. The reliance on the promise must be reasonable, and the person trying to enforce the promise must rely on the promise to their detriment. In order to invoke a promissory estoppel, three elements must be present: the promisor, the promisee and a substantial detriment - an economic loss that occurs to the promisee if the promisor declines to honor the promise.

And it cannot be a simple timedate stamp when the item was entered into MFP. A lot of people enter things well after they eat.
Side note: You could add more meals and name the meals with times instead of names. I'm sure that there is an upward limit to the number of meals that you can add but if you have little variation perhaps that would work for you.

Amy Grace Loyd
"From start to finish, Loyd's prose flows exquisitely through the story, as she limns the depths of the protagonist's mind, the complexity of human intimacy, and the idiosyncrasies of each new character with the grace of a seasoned novelist." —Vanity Fair
"[A] mesmerizing debut…. beautifully, even feverishly described. As Celia discovers, the magnetic pull of other people's everyday experiences proves impossible to resist." —Entertainment Weekly (A-)
"Moody, sensual…Loyd succeeds at the most difficult task for such a circumscribed setting—making the granular details of her characters' travails feel as though they added up to more than the sum of their parts. Celia's emotional breakthrough, when it comes, reads as both important and true." —The New Yorker
"Celia's journey is beautifully charted in this debut, with prose that mirrors her existence in her barely furnished apartment—confined, spare, but swirling with fierce emotion and insights." —People (3 ½ stars)
"For first-time novelist Amy Grace Loyd, an apartment building is not simply housing. It is also a metaphor for the paradoxical isolation and proximity we feel among others...With forceful, sensual prose (the author is captivated by the scents of people and places), Loyd allows Celia to discover that 'life had as many gains as losses as long as we were willing to tally them.'" —O, The Oprah Magazine
"A riveting, raw debut…. Loyd brilliantly keeps us holding our breath as Celia's barriers disintegrate, her rules fall away, and the shield she holds so tightly over her heart slowly lowers….Stunningly rendered, acutely emotional." —Redbook
"Buy, read on the subway, and try not to smile as you're reading something infinitely more scandalous than Fifty Shades… and no one knows!" —Book Riot
"Lloyd's burnished, spare sentences conceal hidden volumes of emotion, and in its different moods, the book may put readers in mind of Joseph O'Neill's Netherland or of a more hopeful version of Claire Messud's recent The Woman Upstairs." —The Millions, "Most Anticipated Books of 2013"
"An impressive debut." —Chicago Tribune
"It is hard to read through Loyd's novel without stopping to digest her lovely prose. Nearly every sentence has layers of meaning…. Loyd's words read like the best kind of poetry. There are lines that leave you thinking about larger truths." —New York Daily News
"Loyd is acute and unsparing in her portrayal of Celia's grief over the loss of her husband. Though the chapters are short and the radius of action is small, Affairs still feels substantial. Celia moves almost ghostlike through her own apartment, her building, the streets of Brooklyn and the reaches of her mind, with the reader being just as absorbed in her thoughts as she is." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"This is a book filled with larger-than-life feelings, raw nerves, and sexual intrigue. Small details of everyday life become fraught with as much passion as stolen moments in presumed privacy… Remarkably, Loyd creates a dramatic tension that gives the most domestic of concerns a lusty weight because of what they mask—betrayal, love, and violence." —The Daily Beast
"A splendid debut novel about a grief-stricken, very private woman learning to trust and take comfort, even joy, from her surroundings and peers…. The Affairs of Others is paced like a suspense novel, but while there are dark doings and violent events, the tone is less like a thriller and more like a character study of a woman who thinks she knows herself but is stunned to learn what she is capable of feeling. Loyd's prose is beautifully controlled, with rich descriptions." —Sarah Weinman, Maclean's
"Grief is a heavy thing. And the literary debut of Amy Grace Loyd…provides a glimpse of one woman's journey back to joy…. It reels you in with longing and passion." —The Daily Candy
"Immersive… As events unfold, Celia's language transforms with the momentum of the novel, opening wider and varying subtly in structure to offer a character rediscovering herself and her bearing in the world…. [Loyd] writes with a seasoned hand. The prose is graceful. As Celia starts to respond to her surroundings, Loyd pens sentences that resonate outside of the story, nearly glowing on the page. The read feels markedly sophisticated in its shape, pace, and content — it's sultry all the way around — and the authority is refreshing."—Bustle.com "Editor's Picks: 3 of August's Best Books"
"[Amy Grace Loyd has] developed her own confident and refined style of storytelling and shows it in her sensuous debut novel, The Affairs of Others. In expansive and precise language, Loyd explores the rhythms and sensations of human arrangements and exposes layers of time, grief, and love in contemporary urban life." —The Millions
"Loyd's writing is rich and elegant, with elements of allusion and allegory and beguiling characters to draw readers in. Dark and sensual, with just a touch of suspense, this first novel offers a heartwrenchingly honest story about grief while still allowing for a glimmer of hope."—Booklist
"An intimate portrayal of the walls erected by a woman after her husband's death, and how impulsive encounters with others break them down….Loyd's character study is narrow in scope but long on intensity and emotion."—Publishers Weekly
"A wonderful novel, beautifully written and sensuous, rich with emotion and psychological truth. Amy Grace Loyd's prose hums with desire as she creates a Brooklyn walk-up that comes alive with the yearning of its tenants and moves them toward an unforgettable ending—suspenseful, erotic, and ultimately hopeful."—Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins
"Debut novels don't come any more sure-handed and deftly written than The Affairs of Others. But it's the damaged, brokenhearted Celia—Amy Grace Loyd's brave, all-in protagonist—who latches on to us and refuses to loosen her grip."—Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls
"Amy Grace Loyd has written an uncommonly accomplished first novel. Beautifully written, suspenseful and often disturbing."—Jennifer Haigh, author of Faith
"Hypnotic, beautiful, and dangerously erotic, this book trembles with feeling, every sentence a breath, every sentence a seismographic wonder of observation. Scuba diving once, I watched minute sea grass oscillate with the motion of the sea, and this is how I think of the narrator of this magnificent novel---she sways with every movement of the world, both interior and exterior, registering it all, and always you wonder, with an aching heart, what will become of her."—Jonathan Ames, author of Wake Up, Sir!
"Rich and fresh...The writing is just so wonderfully good: What other authors labor over, Loyd seems to just toss off. Throughout there are sentences to linger over, or for me to grin at with envy. Loyd has written a Rear Window story of a confined society described with Hitchcockian, voyeuristic detail."—Ron Hansen, author of Mariette in Ecstasy
"The Affairs of Others is a deft, cinematic take on privacy and trespass. Look forward to watching it soar this fall." —Eric Lundgren, author of The Facades

The government shutdown will affect some here in the Wabash Valley.
The 181st Intelligence Wing and the Indiana Air National Guard will be on duty but 117 technicians at the air guard base at Terre Haute's Hulman Field will be impacted.
Statewide, about 1,000 DOD technicians who work for the Indiana National Guard are being furloughed, and that is about half of the regular force.
The Indiana Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, known as WIC will continue operations as usual. Funding for Medicaid, highways and jobless benefits will also not be affected. Indiana currently has adequate cash reserves which will keep some programs in operation until congress can work through its problems.

HEBRON — It only took 11 seconds for Blue Hill to notch its first touchdown of the season, and that's all it needed against Thayer Central.
Bobcat junior running back Keithen Drury took it to the house from 65-yards out off a sweep play on the first play from scrimmage. He then tacked on a reception off a pass from junior quarterback Jason Poe on the conversion try for a quick 8-0 lead.
Drury ended up with 147 yards on 15 carries helping Blue Hill debut with a 28-0 victory over Thayer Central on Friday night.
But he wasn't the Bobcats' only offensive threat.
Returning All-Tribland wide receiver Mitchell Ruybalid, a senior, was money every time he touched the ball.
He reeled in three catches for 118 yards and three touchdowns.
"It was just a whole team effort — we all played good on both sides of the ball," Ruybalid said. "We came out prepared."

Home Office Furniture
Posted by admin in Home Furniture, Home Improvement, Home Office Furniture, Interior Design and Decorating on September 14, 2012
Furniture are developed to cause you to feel like you're in the workplace when you are at home is called home furniture. They are not similar to furniture. Producers design home furniture to match the property atmosphere.
Some of the property furniture includes reception desk, regular workstations, table chairs, book racks, table lights, file units, and home ergonomics products. They have smoother sides, as they are developed for home.
Home furniture gives you additional time to home based after the problem of heavy perform at the workplace. Your mind is comfortable when you're home. Some jobs may be required to home based, like freelance or online perform. In these cases, you need an offices to perform quietly so there are no disruptions.
Home furnishings are different from traditional furniture, as it is developed to look smoother and more informal, and made to blend in with other furniture. Above all, the item of furniture should fit the preferences of other close relatives, as it will be a part of your home. And the room will serve more than one purpose.
Go for the item of furniture that increases your ability to get your perform done in an organized, comfortable manner, and also consider not compromising beauty in the process. If you discover a beautiful home table but it won't provide you a comfortable and efficient workplace, don't go for it. In the same way, if you look for the perfect workplace table in terms of organization and comfort, but it's unpleasant, keep looking! You will discover furniture that satisfies both the requirements.
Many customers misjudge the area available at home and they end up buying furniture that is too big to fit in their home. They over-estimate the area available at home for their new furniture. To avoid this basic problem, measure to the exact inch how much area you have for furniture, and note it down so it will be easier for you when you shop.

This blog post is a short one. Arianna Huffington interviews the Dalai Lama and he references the importance of emotions in overall health. And, more importantly, how the emerging research in neuroscience is helping us to discover how to 'change our mind' and our life. I totally want to hang out with this guy!! Enjoy!
Tag Archives: Personal Power
Are You Looking Up or Falling Down?
I have been speaking with someone who is really feeling 'down' right now. And, I have to admit…it's kind of …well, 'bringing me down'.
Partly it's because this person has been 'down' for a very long time. And partly it's because I am having to 'fight' to stay 'up' – and I don't like it one bit.
So, I have made a decision to limit my time with this person. It may seem selfish, but I believe it's what's best for me – and for this person.
It has got me thinking about how we 'grow' that which we focus on (and surround ourselves with). If we only talk about what's bad (difficult, unpleasant, frustrating, etc.), that's what we notice. And then we say 'see, I was right!!' And guess what (you already know this)…everyone else around us starts to feel the same way we do…and we all fall into the muddy pool of despair together (okay, maybe I am getting a little dramatic!!)
Well, no more. I have never been a person who stayed 'down' for very long; and I have to admit, I have now reached my limit!
Do I sometimes feel 'down'? Absolutely! I just refuse to choose to stay there. Frankly, it's way too exhausting!
I have been researching the brain for a client project lately. You likely already know that we are actually hard-wired to notice danger (i.e. what's bad). So, we need to 'work' at noticing what's right. And, when we do…we release all sorts of wonderful neurotransmitters like dopamine that 'open up' our perspective and allow us to see more possibilities. Focusing on what's wrong acutally 'closes' our viewpoint, and limits our ability to see options and opportunities right in front of us (we sometimes 'fall' right past them).
We can develop a habit of noticing what's good (right, beautiful, pleasant, joyful, etc.), though. Begin by making it your intention every day to look for what's right – for what's good. Have your discussions be mostly about what's going well. When someone shares good news with you – pass it on! Spend just a little time on the difficulties in your life. Share them, yes. Label them, for sure. Then reappraise or reframe, and carry on. The more you stay focused on the difficulties, the more they 'grow' (and the downward spiral continues).
I read a couple of articles recently that struck me and support this message. In 'Can watching a move about Happiness make us Happier?' The author, Ryan Niemiec, says 'The renowned observational learning theorist, Albert Bandura, observed that most of what we learn in life comes from what we observe and that this information is encoded within us for future use. Thus, it makes perfect sense that watching a movie about happiness would help us learn more about happiness and actions we might take to become happy, as we observe the positive role models in a given film."
And he goes on to say " The idea is to expand and widen these moments of happiness. Along these lines, science guides us to reminisce about the positive (in this case, the positive aspects of the movie), to savor and relish in the positive state, and to share the positive feelings with others. When you see a movie that leads you to feel happy, what do you do with that positive emotion? Do you mindlessly leave the theater while the credits are rolling looking to be the first person in the parking lot? Do you turn to your mobile device while walking out of the theater, curious about who might have e-mailed or sent you a text message during the film?
Or do you take time to reflect on the work of art you just witnessed? Do you discuss the film with others? Do you examine the strengths and behaviors the characters in the film exhibited and how they might serve as models for you? Do you consider the ways in which the characters impacted you and what subsequent changes you might make?
Taking the time to be mindful of these questions might help you expand your happiness."
A second article I read was meaningful to me more than one way. Mostly, because I have a daughter about to graduate from high school. And I, like all parents, have spent my life working to prepare her to be a resilient, productive, positive, happy person.
The article in HR Magazine called 'Graduate Recruitment: You need a good attitude, not a good degree says Ernst & Young' written by David Young states that "with over 22% of 16-24 year olds out of work, graduates will need to build resilience and get out of their comfort zones if they are going to realise their potential, according to the findings of a survey by Ernst & Young…(the survey) showed that while graduates have many core strengths, they aren't always willing to take risks and can struggle to recover from setbacks."
In other words, you have to be able to look up or you'll fall down. And when your perspective is 'down' it really is just like falling…you are taken away, easily, down a vortex of negativity.
Looking up might take a little more work at first, but the 'up' view trump the other one – hands down!!

Poems about Personal Power
I'm certainly not one to reflect on poetry very often. In fact, my siblings would laugh out loud if they knew I were including some poems in my blog post. You see, their memories of me are the silly poems I would write to each of them when we were younger. They went something like 'Dene, Dene, the washing machine; you're twenty one and another load's done' (no, I am not sure of what that means…all I thought is that it had to rhyme to be a poem!). Others were 'Desi is a beautiful gal; I sure am glad that she's my pal', and 'There once was a boy named Devin; who looked like he came from heaven; a big bright smile; nice teeth like a crocodile; and girlfriends I think he has seven!'
So, you can see, this is not my forte. Although I do think Miss Bill, my grade 12 English teacher, would be proud!
I have, however, come across some poems in my life that I really love. I'd like to share a few with you.
Here's the first – it reminds me that I am owed nothing for this wonderful life. It reminds me that when we operate from the stance of expecting nothing in return, and just 'doing' because it's the right thing to do, that's personal power - that's personal responsibility – that's love – and that's what we need more of in our workplaces, our homes, and our schools today.
The Sun Never Says – by Hafiz

"You owe me."

IRVING, Texas – After Sunday's game,
But Beasley also sought out a player he not only gets compared to on a daily basis, but someone he feels has paved the way for his career.
Beasley met up with Broncos receiver Wes Welker for a quick visit between the two vertically-challenged receivers who have similar playing styles.
"I talked to him after the game but we didn't talk much. It was the first time I've ever met him," Beasley said of Welker. "That was pretty sweet. He was a guy I always watched growing up when I realized I was going to play receiver. It was pretty cool meeting him. I thanked him for opening the door for guys like me."
Beasley had one of his best games of his career, catching all four passes thrown his direction for 47 yards and his first-career touchdown. Beasley's 5-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter gave the Cowboys a 48-41 lead.
On the flip side, Welker had five catches for 49 yards and a touchdown in the third quarter.
Overall, Beasley said he was dejected by the loss but is gaining confidence with his ability to perform in the offense.
"I think Tony has faith in what I can do and he has since last year," Beasley said. "You just keep getting better with each game and practice. I think we have some great weapons on this team. It creates opportunities for everyone to get involved. Tony did a great job (Sunday) of getting the ball to different people. I just have to take advantage of the opportunity when my number is called."
After being inactive the first two weeks of the season, Beasley has improved his catch totals in each of the last three games, with one grab against the Rams, followed by three catches for 16 yards last week against the Chargers.

I am using PHP and I am considering if switching to RoR would be a good choice for me.
Currently I write procedural code, but I started re-learning OOP and I wonder if this is a good time to switch to RoR.
It seems undisputed that Ruby is better for OOP but I have some concerns:
1. Hosting: I own a managed dedicated server and a couple of reseller hosting accounts. They all come with PHP (cpanel). Will I be able to run RoR sites next to my PHP sites on the same server without much trouble?
2. Are there any equally good open source CMS and forum software for RoR as there are for PHP?

How (Not) to Sell Nuclear Weapons
AbstractThe authors consider situations where a sale affects the ensuing interaction between potential buyers. These situations are modeled by assuming that an agent who does not acquire the object for sale incurs an identity-dependent externality. The authors construct a revenue-maximizing auction for the seller. They observe that outside options and participation constraints are endogenous; the seller extracts surplus also from agents who do not obtain the auctioned object; and the seller is better-off by not selling at all (while obtaining some payments) if externalities are much larger than valuations.

"The business of intelligence has its ugly side." Thomas Powers tells the story of former CIA director Richard Helms.
From Atlantic Unbound:
"CIA analyst Sam Adams fought the intelligence establishment about its Vietnam policy like David fought Goliath."
HE arrest of Aldrich Hazen
Ames, a CIA operative turned KGB mole, in February of 1994, fundamentally
changed the public perception of the clandestine service of the Central
Intelligence Agency. Before Ames only "case officers," operatives who recruit
and run foreign agents, knew how dysfunctional the service had become. Since
Ames the outside world has learned that much is rotten in the Directorate of
Operations -- the official name of the clandestine service, known to insiders
simply as the DO. Yet the senators and congressmen who oversee the DO, the
journalists who report on it, and the civilian directors who run it have failed
to understand and to confront the service's real problems. Even among CIA
analysts who work in the Directorate of Intelligence, the overt, think-tank
side of the house, few have grasped the extent of the DO's decrepitude.
Politically charged, usually lurid stories of CIA misconduct have deflected attention from telling questions about U.S. intelligence. Journalists level charges of Agency involvement in Latino drug-smuggling rings. The American wife of a Central American guerrilla accuses the DO of complicity in torture and murder. Female case officers sue their male bosses for sexual discrimination.
All these affairs have blackened the Agency's image. None advances the debate on whether the clandestine service actually spies well. Protected by secrecy, by a disciplined and obedient bureaucracy, and by the average outsider's basic ignorance of and fascination with espionage, the leadership of the DO has pre-empted and stalled pressure for Agency reform.
In 1985 I joined the Directorate of Operations. A devout cold warrior, I had no qualms about espionage or covert action against the Soviet Union and in defense of America's national interests. I was proud and eager when the Near East Division chose me to join its ranks. I had dreamed for years of applying my academic training in Islamic history to the DO's Middle Eastern mission.
Twelve years later I retain an appreciation for espionage -- for those rare moments when a case officer contributes to his nation's defense. But I have long since lost my pride in the DO, which has evolved into a sorry blend of Monty Python and Big Brother. I resigned in 1993.
When current and former case officers gather, their conversations inevitably converge: they wonder whether the DO has irretrievably fallen apart. A few years ago I asked a former colleague who had served in Moscow whether she had ever successfully explained the DO's problems to an outsider. "No, never," she replied. "I've given up trying. You have to explain so much you get lost in the details, or you just sound like a whiny, unpatriotic left-winger."
The CIA, with a certain fanfare, recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. The Agency wants the American public, and especially Congress, to believe that its men and women won the Cold War, along the way had a few problems, and yet are now rising to the challenges of the twenty-first century. In front of the intelligence-oversight committees in Congress senior Agency officials repeat the CIA's new mission statement about battling terrorism, drugs, the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, and rogue regimes in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, and North Korea. With the Ames fiasco receding, some current and retired CIA officials are asserting that if Congress and the press would only back off, the professionals would once again get the job done.
One feature of a closed society is that it lies to itself as readily as it lies to outsiders. Writing as "X" in his 1947 assessment of the Soviet Union, the diplomat George F. Kennan borrowed from Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire; the passage applies equally to the CIA's present-day Directorate of Operations.
From enthusiasm to imposture the step is perilous and slippery; the demon of Socrates affords a memorable instance of how a wise man may deceive himself, how a good man may deceive others, how the conscience may slumber in a mixed and middle state between self-illusion and voluntary fraud.The sad truth about the CIA -- what the Ames debacle didn't reveal -- is that the DO has for years been running an espionage charade in most countries, deceiving itself and others about the value of its recruited agents and intelligence production. The ugliest DO secret is how the clandestine service encourages decent case officers, gradually and naturally, to evolve into liars about their contribution to America's security. By 1985, the year Ames volunteered to spy for the KGB, the vast majority of the CIA's foreign agents were mediocre assets at best, put on the payroll because case officers needed high recruitment numbers to get promoted. Long before the Soviet Union collapsed, recruitment and intelligence fraud -- the natural product of an insular spy world -- had stripped the DO of its integrity and its competence.
Younger operatives are resigning in droves, because they have given up hope of reform. The attrition was sufficient to provoke an investigation by the inspector general in 1996. Though the inspector general's office did a poor job of questioning young case officers who had resigned, the final report doesn't deny the increasing resignation rate among the best and the brightest who entered the DO during the Reagan years. Nearly three quarters of the case officers from my 1985 junior-officer class have quit the service. When my class entered, we were told that the DO had the lowest attrition rate -- under five percent -- in the U.S. government. Though this figure was no doubt inaccurate -- a normal and healthy rate of attrition in any bureaucracy should be higher -- it does reflect the DO's credo that officers don't quit the clandestine service unless they are flawed. Within the DO and in front of Congress senior officials downplay the rising resignation rate and even deny that the directorate's younger officers -- let alone its best ones -- are abandoning ship.
But the senior officers themselves know the truth. As early as 1988 a senior CIA official responsible for the Directorate of Operations' budget and personnel visited stations and bases worldwide, discreetly asking young case officers why so many good young officers were quitting. The official wanted to know whether junior officers would be willing to participate in a round-table discussion with the deputy director of operations, the boss of the clandestine service. The senior official, not a case officer herself, didn't realize that she was asking case officers to commit professional suicide. The round-table discussion never took place.
MERICANS were shocked by the DO's nine-year failure to catch Ames, a hard-drinking, free-spending KGB mole inside the Soviet-East Europe Division. How could the DO have entrusted its premier agents -- probably the best Soviet agents the CIA ever had -- to a counterintelligence case officer with such evident flaws? Unlike the usual agent chaff that case officers recruit in order to get promotions, these Soviet agents were the real thing. Treason and his spending habits aside, the truth is that Ames was not much different from many of his peers. He was disgruntled and he drank too much. He disliked recruiting foreign agents and he did it poorly. He distrusted most of his colleagues, particularly those more senior. He was stalled in his career as a mid-level officer (a GS-14), slightly higher in grade than the average retiring case officer.
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union moving in the cocktail-party circuit was the primary, often the only, way a case officer could rub shoulders with Communist "hard targets" -- foreigners who were extremely difficult to approach, let alone develop and recruit. In seeking to press the flesh, many officers drank too much. More important, many case officers -- and Ames was one of them -- chafed at the recruitment game, the desperate socializing in search of a foreigner who could be written up as a promising "developmental." Case officers grow cynical in such a world -- and they've been living in one since the 1960s. Before he volunteered his services to the Soviets, Ames amused himself in Mexico City by privately critiquing the station's case officers and their numerous recruited agents, who produced very little intelligence. Contrary to the common, outsider view of him, Ames was attentive to both operational details and intelligence reports. He discovered before most of his peers did that one of the most renowned case officers working in the Latin American division was a corrupt fraud, who inflated or invented most of his agents and probably pocketed some agents' pay in diamonds. Though dismissed from the service, the case officer was never jailed. On his spacious balcony in a high-rise above Mexico City, Ames often passed evenings with friends wryly belittling the DO's contributions to America's defense.
Deeply troubled and venal, Ames slipped across that space between dissent and treason, believing it was all a charade. Given his free-spending ways, the Agency should of course have found him sooner. But spotting Ames psychologically, or by questioning his peers, would have been very difficult. In the CIA family there are many dysfunctional members.
Peeling away the layers of the Agency's mystique -- by learning how to read agents' files, acquiring familiarity with operational details, gaining access to "restricted-handling" cases -- can take years. One thing, however, did not take me long to learn: there was a severe discrepancy between the reputations of most senior officers and their talents. Sterling exceptions aside, the average senior officer rose through the hierarchy without ever learning much about the language, culture, or politics of the countries in which he served. The good case officers in my junior-officer class hunted vainly for mentors like Richard Helms, Paul Henze, and Robert Ames -- renowned case officers from the past who knew their languages and their countries well. Not a single Iran-desk chief during the eight years that I worked on Iran could speak or read Persian. Not a single Near East Division chief knew Arabic, Persian, or Turkish, and only one could get along even in French. One Near East officer, sent during the Iran-contra affair to assess and debrief Manucher Ghorbanifar, the slick and savvy Iranian middleman between the Ayatollah Khomeini's regime and the Americans and Israelis, spoke no Persian and had no background in the Middle East. He repeatedly had to ask Ghorbanifar to spell the names of well-known senior Iranian officials.
At the Agency's espionage-training school ("The Farm") at Camp Peary, near Williamsburg, Virginia, instructors regularly told trainees that cultural distinctions did not matter, that an operation was an operation regardless of the target. Whether Arab, German, Turkish, Brazilian, Persian, Russian, Pakistani, or French, targets were (as Duane Clarridge, a Europe Division and counterterrorism-center chief, baldly put it) "all the same." "An op is an op," a favorite mantra of English-only case officers, is one of the DO's most self-defeating conceits.
Of all the clandestine service's Cold War missions, no task was more mystique-building, but at the same time more illusory, than the recruiting of Soviet agents. The No. 1 operational directive of every case officer was to recruit KGB officials, Soviet military-intelligence officers, and Soviet diplomats, but this essentially amounted to little more than paper-shuffling between CIA headquarters, in Langley, Virginia, and case officers in the field. Real recruitment was more often than not a sheer fluke. According to Soviet-East Europe Division officers, the best agents Ames killed were all "walk-ins," who had volunteered their services to the United States. Handling walk-ins is no mean feat, and CIA case officers have often handled sensitive walk-ins exceptionally well. But "recruiting" walk-ins has little to do with the protracted "recruitment cycle" -- the spotting, assessing, developing, and recruiting of foreigners worldwide -- on which the DO has built its budget and esprit de corps.
During the Cold War, DO managers in the field wanted young case officers to telephone, out of the blue, Soviet officials with whom they had no plausible reason to be in touch. The lucky case officers who made it past the telephoning and the awkward encounters were encouraged to socialize as intensely as possible. They were to ignore the constant advice of KGB defectors who warned that if a case officer met a Soviet citizen, he should simply say hello, offer a business card with a home telephone number, and then say good-bye. If the Soviet wanted to defect or to work in place against the Communist system, he would send a message. KGB defectors argued that the active development of Soviets would only draw the attention of Soviet counterintelligence, and would amplify a Soviet embassy's or consulate's normal paranoia. Yet the CIA persisted. The DO's mystique and pride, not to mention its jobs and budget, were at stake.
Terrible DO failures occurred in the 1980s and 1990s in Latin America, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Not just in the Soviet Union did the CIA lose numerous agents. An organization whose motto is the verse from the Gospel of John "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" had grown sloppy, developing a lackadaisical appreciation of the distinction between fact and fiction. Some good agents, and many mediocre or worthless ones, died for their case officers' mistakes; in an environment in which poor-quality agents routinely got inflated into first-rate ones, case officers frequently put agents who really didn't know much into harm's way.
ROM 1947 through the early 1960s it was good to be a case officer. Almost everyone feared the Soviet Union; Communists in league with the USSR were everywhere. Except for the United States, the world was poor. More important, Washington knew very little about the postwar world for which it had reluctantly become responsible. The communications and transportation revolutions had not yet taken place. Relatively few Americans traveled abroad. Slow-moving diplomatic pouches, not arduously encrypted and decrypted cables, were the primary means of contact between Washington and the field. Diplomats and spies were often at the forefront in obtaining and analyzing information. A U.S. embassy official in Moscow could write a telegram about the Soviet soul, as Kennan did, that would actually be passed around among White House Cabinet members. What today might seem self-evident, or academic, was then exotic and classified.
The CIA sent its case officers out to gather all the information they could, and in most countries outside the Communist bloc they found the locals receptive. Enlisting the support of the Germans, the French, or the Japanese in the face of a common enemy was not Mission Impossible. An overwhelming mutual interest, not money, brought American case officers and otherwise prickly foreigners together. Many, if not most, of the Agency's finest intelligence-producing sources were unpaid. In the first two decades of the Agency's existence, when the DO evolved out of the covert-action-oriented Office of Policy Coordination and the espionage-oriented Office of Special Operations, recruiting spies was not a head-counting game. According to one old Agency hand, "We would never have tolerated ... bragging about lining up ducks [recruitments], as if clandestine intelligence were some kind of assembly line."
The Directorate of Operations (or, as it was then euphemistically known, the Directorate of Plans) was a clubbish group of men. Even after the huge expansion of the clandestine service, during the early 1950s (more new employees were hired then than during the Vietnam War), graduates of prestigious colleges and universities predominated. Washington's Metropolitan and Alibi Clubs perhaps had as many operational discussions within their walls as did Agency headquarters. Senior officers ranked and promoted their juniors in a highly subjective manner. This old-boy system had its problems. But racking up recruitments, good or bad, did not necessarily get an officer promoted.
In the 1950s and early 1960s the CIA's top leaders -- men like Allen Dulles, Frank Wisner, Richard Bissell, Tracy Barnes, and Desmond Fitzgerald -- were profoundly devoted to covert action. Covert action (orchestrating coups, anti-Communist insurgencies, academic conferences, labor unions, political parties, publishing houses, and shipping companies) required considerable manpower, and it drew the intellectual crème de la crème. It compelled a higher degree of intellectual curiosity, accomplishment, and operational savoir faire than did espionage ("espionage" referring specifically to the recruitment of foreign intelligence agents). With so many talented officers working in covert action, and with most of the foreigners involved being friendly collaborators and not "recruited" assets, the DO could scarcely base promotions on the number of recruitments a case officer made each year.
After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, covert action became politically riskier. More important, press revelations during the 1960s and 1970s about various CIA maneuvers of dubious legality and wisdom, followed by several bouts of congressional investigation, helped to sully the Agency's covert-action credentials. Though covert action continued worldwide in the 1970s, it employed less manpower. Inside the CIA working on covert action no longer had the same prestige, and was becoming a slower track for promotions.
By the time Stansfield Turner became Jimmy Carter's director of central intelligence, in 1977, the decades-old tug-of-war inside the Agency between covert action and espionage was over. Henceforth covert action would be only an avocation. Espionage was the area in which case officers could better manage their destinies.
Sometime in the late 1960s and early 1970s recruiting became the case officer's categorical imperative. The Vietnam War helped to propel the change. Before the war espionage was a cause; Vietnam turned it into a business. The CIA was in competition and collusion with the Pentagon in the acquisition and dissemination of intelligence about South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. As the war intensified, CIA chiefs in Saigon demanded a minimum of 300 intelligence reports a month from their station. Local agents of highly dubious value were continually added to the roster and the payroll in order to meet this unrealistic objective.
Confronted with an expanding war, Langley significantly enlarged the case-officer corps. Now far fewer new officers came from the nation's elite schools. The growing anti-war movement on eastern college campuses deprived the Agency of the long-cherished "P" (professor) factor in its discreet, highly successful university recruiting networks. Scandals involving domestic mail interception, wiretaps, and surveillance activities by the CIA, reported by Seymour M. Hersh in The New York Times in 1974, finished off CIA-university relations.
The war combined and accelerated three factors highly corrosive of the clandestine service: a surplus of easily recruited "sources"; poor quality control on intelligence reports; and falling admission standards for case officers. Though there were CIA operatives and analysts who realized (and steadfastly advised Washington policy makers) in the late 1960s that America's war in Vietnam was lost, Southeast Asia became, bureaucratically, a liars' paradise, where aggressive, self-promoting case officers quickly got ahead.
