Requests a calculation using an external program. This mechanism is primarily intended to facilitate the use of external programs to provide the low-level calculations in ONIOM calculations, but can also be used to conduct geometry optimizations using Gaussian's optimizer with external programs providing the function values and derivatives.
Gaussian uses a standardized interface to run an external program to produce an energy (and optionally a dipole moment or forces) at each geometry. A text file is produced with the current structure, and a script named Gau_External is run by default (see below for information on specifying an alternate script). This script, which is provided by the user, is expected to:
You may specify a different script by including its name as the option to the External keyword: e.g., External=MyScript.
By default, the Gau_External script is passed six parameters:
$ Gau_External layer InputFile OutputFile MsgFile FChkFile MatElFile
The parameters are defined as follows:
All of these files are deleted by Gaussian once the results have been recovered.
Additional arguments to the script may also be included:
External="RunTink Amber"
In this example, the actual command would be:
$ RunTink Amber layer InputFile OutputFile MsgFile FChkFile MatElFile
The specified script is always passed the parameters mentioned above as its final six arguments.
The input file has the following format:
The first line specifies the number of atoms in the molecule, what derivatives are to be computed (0=energy only, 1=first derivatives, 2=second derivatives), and the molecule's charge and spin multiplicity (format 4I10). The remaining lines specify the atomic number, coordinates, and molecular mechanics charge for each atom (format I10, 4F20.12).
The output file is in fixed format and has the following data (all in atomic units):
The second section is present only if first derivatives or frequencies were requested, and the final section is present only if frequencies were requested. In the latter case, the Hessian is given in lower triangular form: αij, i=1 to N, j=1 to i. The dipole moment, polarizability, and dipole derivatives can be zero if none are available.
It is also possible to provide one-electron or one- and two-electron integrals and other matrix elements to an external program and to recover results such as MOs or densities from the other program. Full details and examples are in the g09/doc subdirectory (doc folder on Windows). Options must follow the name of the script.
A Fortran unformatted file will be provided to the external program containing coordinates and one-electron matrix elements (overlap, core Hamiltonian, etc.). Refer to g09/doc/unfdat.txt for details on the contents of the file and to g09/doc/rdmat.F for a sample program which reads the file and prints its contents. 1Elintegrals is a synonym for this option.
The Fortran unformatted file should also contain two-electron integrals. This option implies SCF=Conventional.
A formatted checkpoint file should be generated and provided to the external program.
A Fortran unformatted file will be provided to the external program and an updated or replaced file with the same structure will be read by G16 for the results, in lieu of the default text output file expected from the external program/script.
A formatted checkpoint file will be generated and provided to the external program, and a new .fchk file will be read to import results afterwards.
This option can be used to alter the content of the external text input file that Gaussian 09 automatically generates for the external script. When the data transfer between Gaussian 09 and the external script is handled using one of the options above (e.g. IOFchk), the default external text input file is not needed. With this option, a section (delimited by the usual blank lines) will be read from the Gaussian 09 input file. The text in this section will be placed in the external text input file instead of the usual content of such file. This provides additional flexibility to provide extra instructions to the external script.
Test job 769 serves as an example of these options.
External scripts may also be specified as one of the models for the ONIOM keyword (see the examples).
The Gaussian stand-alone mm utility program can be run with the -external switch, which causes it to read and write data in the formats used by the External interface.
See Interfacing to Gaussian 16 for information about exchanging data with other programs.
The following route section specifies an external script for the low layer of a 3 layer ONIOM calculation:
# ONIOM(B3LYP/6-31G(d):AM1:External="RunTink Amber") Opt
The following route section specifies an external script for the high accuracy layer of a 2 layer ONIOM job:
# ONIOM(External="RunCC SDT":B3LYP/6-31G(d)) Opt

D-Coat's diamond-coating method is based on a process known as "hot-filament CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)". In this technique, the necessary gases in the process are pyrolyzed by an excitation source (a heated filament) in a vacuum atmosphere, while the material that is to be precipitated (diamond) is deposited on the article that you wish to coat.
Along with the diamond-coating itself, the bonding that holds the coating to the tool has a significant influence on the quality of the coating overall. Choosing the right substrate – and properly pre-treating its surface prior to coating – play key roles in how well the diamond layer adheres to a tool. Diamond coating is usually carried out on carbide substrates, but in principle the process can also be carried out on a range of other materials.

text: The Museum of Mazovian Jews is housed in a former synagogue which is often referred to as Plock's minor synagogue. This is so because the city also had its great synagogue-from 1866 until the turn of 1950 and 1951, when it was demolished-located opposite the present-day monument to thirteen Poles executed by the Nazis during the Second World War. The construction of the minor, two-storey, brick synagogue in Kwiatka Street (formerly Szeroka Street) was started in 1822 and finished in the mid-1850s. It ran into serious difficulties from the very beginning; the building was partially situated on Plock's former moat, which resulted in some complications; there were insufficient funds to complete the construction; and the Bishop of Plock opposed it, claiming that the synagogue would be located too close to the cathedral. However, he soon changed his mind. Built in the neoclassical style, the synagogue was frequently renovated, e.g. after the collapse of some parts of the roof in 1863. There were three purposes for which the synagogue was intended; it functioned as a Jewish house of prayer, a school and the seat of Plock's Jewish community authorities. When the Germans invaded P?ock in September 1939, the synagogue became the premises of a Judenrat, i.e. one of the administrative and enforcement bodies established by the Nazi invaders to manage Jewish communities in German-occupied areas. This period in the history of the synagogue was ended on 1 March 1941 by the final liquidation of the Plock ghetto with over 8000 Jewish people residing in it. This was also the end of the world of Plock Jews, which had existed since the beginning of the 13th century. Located at 7 Kwiatka Street, the building itself survived the war, and the Jewish Committee became its owner in 1945. It was the committee's initiative to organise the first post-war meeting of Plock Jews in the former synagogue; the meeting was attended by twenty-two people. In 1949, the Gerszon Dua-Bogen Tailor, Knitting & Hosiery Cooperative was formed in the building. In 1960, the State Treasury became the owner of the building, which was entered in the Register of Historic Monuments two years later. The former synagogue ceased to be used in 1992. At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, the building had several owners. The governor of the Province of Plock made it over to the local government of Plock. In 1997, the building became the Jewish community's property again. They sold it back to the Municipality of Plock a year later. When the city council put the building up for sale in 2004, the Plock Synagogue Association was founded; its aim was to establish the Museum of Mazovian Jews in the building. In 2006, the former synagogue was made over to the association for the period of ten years. A decision giving green light for this project was taken in 2007, which made it possible to begin the extensive renovation of the building. Since 15 March 2013, visitors have been able to go to the Museum of Mazovian Jews-which is a part of the Mazovian Museum in Plock-thanks to the Plock Synagogue Association, who collected 1.3 million zlotys for this purpose; an EU subsidy amounting to 7.7 million zlotys; and an agreement on joint financing concluded by the Office of the Marshal of the Mazovian Province and Plock's municipal authorities.

The first morning after setting the clocks ahead last weekend, the girls actually got up earlier than usual. They had been getting up around 8:00, so one would think that they would have gotten up around 9:00 that first morning. Nope. 7:00! But, since then, they have been sleeping in later and later, and the last few days they got up around 8:40. On one hand it's kind of nice, because, since they go to bed so late and don't take naps, I like to stay up late because that's my only "me" time, so it's nice to be able to sleep in in the morning. On the other hand, it makes it hard to go anywhere in the morning. Most of our mom's group meet-ups start at 10:00 or 10:30, and the last few days we've been in the middle of breakfast about then!
But I'm really tired of them staying up until 9:30 or 10:00, so I think I'm going to start getting them up earlier, in hopes that they'll, in turn, go to bed earlier. My fear, however, is that they will just fall asleep in the late afternoon/early evening and still be up really late at night. That happened yesterday, and I think it was around 11:00 when Kayley finally fell asleep (although she was quiet in her bed from around 10:00 on. I was on the computer and thought she was long since asleep, went in there at 11:00 to turn the light off (I have to leave it on when I first put them to bed because Kayley likes to read) and was shocked to see her eyes were still open). And if I do decide to force them up earlier, that means that I'll have to get up earlier, which means I'll have to go to bed earlier, which means I'll have very little "me" time at all. But hopefully it would only last a few days and they would be adjusted to the earlier wake up time and be going to bed much earlier.
Sigh. I'm so jealous of parents with "normal" children who go to bed at a decent hour!

Anonymity and misrepresentation: Understanding the risks of online grooming and digital blackmail
- Awareness
- 29/06/2017
The release of new reports and campaigns this month demonstrate the safety work that still must be done as the numbers of reported digital crimes continues to rise, especially in the areas of online grooming and blackmail. A report produced by Europol, Online sexual coercion and extortion as a form of crime affecting children: Law enforcement perspective, outlined criminal behaviour and the motives behind it. According to analysis by INHOPE member NCMEC (the US-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children), the primary motive of blackmail based on photos is to receive more, increasingly explicit photos (78 per cent), as opposed to obtaining money or goods from the child (7 per cent). In response to this new phenomenon of coercive crimes, Europol has created the #SayNO campaign, a series of videos depicting teens experiencing online extortion, with messages of help and information on how and where to find victims' resources.
Anonymity on apps and platforms that children use provides an opportunity for those who may seek to lie or misrepresent themselves for predatory purposes – a practice commonly known as grooming. A victim of grooming may then be coerced into taking sexual photos or videos of themselves which are then used for blackmail, either for financial payment or to continue receiving photos or videos. Naturally, children and young people are the most trusting and susceptible to this type of risk.
Online blogs, forums, games, social networking and many other types of apps now provide chat and messaging functions that allow users to interact with each other, making it easier also for predators to create false identities, to learn about a child's likes and dislikes in order to befriend them, or even to pose as a young child themselves. These methods are used to gain trust which may then lead to demands for increasingly explicit images, coercion to perform sexual acts via webcam or, in other cases, persuading and luring minors to a meeting offline.
In recent months, there has been frequent coverage of law enforcement's successful intervention in large-scale online child sexual abuse operations, from Canada to the Philippines. While this highlights the great technical advances that are being made to tackle crimes against children, it also reinforces the ongoing prevalence of the issue. INHOPE members have been active in addressing this area in both research and public education. Following an 89 per cent increase in sextortion cases among teenage boys reported to hotline Cybertip.ca, the newest awareness campaign by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection is Don't get extorted, send a naked mole rat. The campaign uses humour to reach a younger audience and spread the message that sending a meme instead of real sexual images is a way for teens to avoid extortion. The campaign especially targets boys.
It is extremely difficult to verify the identity and motives of every user online, which is why young people must be taught to think carefully about what they share with others on the internet. Children must also listen to their instincts and tell a trusted person in their lives, such as parents, a teacher, sibling or carer, when they have been threatened or feel that someone or something they've encountered online is not right. Because perpetrators may use misleading images, names, websites and other strategies to manipulate a vulnerable child, it is important that children have a strong sense of what is normal and acceptable online before they are allowed to use devices or be online independently. They should also develop a sense of responsibility online, learning how to report any illegal or abusive content they may encounter. These practices all contribute to building the resilience and judgment that children need to be safe and confident as they navigate experiences in the digital world.
Mediating online activity and safety is a shared responsibility between many people in a child's life, as well as a responsibility of industry. It is a high priority in awareness-raising efforts among educators, charities, and law enforcement; all bodies with a remit in child protection must recognise the vital importance of safeguarding potential victims from the possibility of harm by online offenders. Here, we highlight some of the independent resources created by members of the INHOPE network on the subjects of grooming, coercion and online extortion of children:
- Sextortion and online enticement: a PSA from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) showing the story of a young girl who is coerced by someone falsely representing themselves as a friend.
- Grooming and online predators: guidance for parents from NetSafe New Zealand on recognising the signs that grooming might be happening to a child and how to get help.
- Online solicitation: a definitive explanation from Telefono Azzurro of how children can be targeted online by a malicious person for sexual purposes, and details of a new addition to the Italian criminal code in this area.
The nature of the internet means that crimes against children can happen anywhere, which is why it's important to remember that a vigilant public also has a vital role to play in fighting even suspected sexual exploitation. Anyone who comes across images or becomes otherwise aware of online interactions that they feel may be dangerous or illegal involving children should always report it to the proper authorities, and never ignore it. A single report can make the difference in preventing a child from becoming a victim.

Changes are being discussed with local businesses
Plans to remodel one of Swansea's most popular entertainment streets are set to move to the next phase.
Swansea Council is looking at proposals to redevelop Wind Street to make it more accommodating for the thousands of people who visit the many pubs and restaurants found along the route.
In partnership with Swansea Business Improvement District (BID), a feasibility study has previously been carried out, providing a number of options for how the street could be remodelled.
Prior to the study being completed, businesses in the area were consulted on how they would like to see Wind Street improved. Many want to see more emphasis on pedestrian priority which could help support businesses during day and night-time use.
The new scheme could include Wind Street being converted to a one-way street, controlled access for vehicles, improved street lighting and better use of pavement space to enable more seated areas.
Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration and Tourism, said: "Wind Street is an important part of our city centre and it's a location local businesses and the Council want to see improved as part of our wider regeneration plans for the city centre."
BID Chief Executive Russell Greenslade said: "We need to acknowledge people's desire to socialise while they shop as part of their visitor experience.
"Improved pedestrian areas encourage a broader mix of people to visit city centres. This would be a logical and a healthy step for Wind Street and would complement the rest of Swansea city centre on its regeneration journey."
Three options coming out of the feasibility study have been graded 'Bronze, Silver and Gold', based on costs and councillors are being asked to approve plans to move forward with the silver option.
If approved, the Council will move to the next stage of the process which involves securing funding through grant bids along with capital funding from the Council.
Cllr Francis-Davies said: "This is an exciting regeneration scheme which will involve further significant investment in our city centre – helping to attract more people to the city and boost local businesses.
"Swansea city centre is still one of only two locations in Wales to hold Purple Flag status, recognising high standards of management and safety. We want to ensure we build on this and I'm confident the reimagining of Wind Street will assist us in the city centre becoming even better."

The Cable
Iran Vote Will Test Corker's Political Skills
Days ahead of a pivotal vote in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a series of new amendments have emerged that could sink a contentious bill on Iran's nuclear program and jeopardize efforts for this Congress to weigh in on a final deal.
Days ahead of a pivotal vote in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a series of new amendments have emerged that could sink a contentious bill on Iran's nuclear program and derail congressional efforts to block an emerging deal with Tehran.
The bill, authored by Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), would suspend the president's authority to lift sanctions on Iran for 60 days as Congress prepares an up-or-down vote on a final deal. Despite a White House promise to veto the bill, nine Democrats and more than 50 Republicans have pledged to support the legislation, bringing Republicans extremely close to a veto-proof majority.
But that strong Senate support could evaporate overnight as Republicans and Democrats seek to amend the legislation in radically different ways.
The Tuesday vote has become a proxy war for supporters and critics of the April 2 preliminary agreement struck by the United States, Tehran, and five world powers that would ease sanctions on Iran in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear program. And the broader battle over the nuclear agreement is just getting started: On Thursday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei demanded immediate sanctions relief as soon as the final deal is implemented this summer. The United States and the other world powers say that sanctions relief will come only when Iran complies with the agreement's strictures, such as reducing stockpiles of uranium and cutting the number of centrifuges.
Lawmakers who oppose the agreement, such as Sen. Marco Rubio (R.-Fla.), want to pass amendments that would pile additional restrictions on the president's ability to lift economic sanctions on Iran in the event of a final deal.
Those in support of the agreement, such as Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), want to water down aspects of the Corker bill they fear could blow up the international negotiations, such as a quarterly certification process on whether Iran is supporting terrorism against the United States.
The push and pull of Democrats and Republicans places an immense amount of pressure on Corker, the committee's chairman, who doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize his bill's prospects for garnering a veto-proof majority.
But it's a balancing act the congenial Tennessee lawmaker may be able to pull off given his credibility among Republicans and cordial overtures to wavering Democrats in recent days.
Republicans hold a razor-thin 10-9 majority on the committee. That gives Corker the power to bury amendments that are too far to the right, which could risk alienating a critical mass of Democrats, or too far to the left, which could spark a conservative backlash. But wielding that power is almost guaranteed to ruffle some feathers.
"If Chairman Corker does that, he'll make no one happy," said a GOP congressional aide. "Yet that may be the best way to preserve the bill's relatively bipartisan balance and keep the door open for a veto-proof majority."
Rubio's amendments, among other things, would require the United States to continue enforcing existing sanctions on Iran because of its "ongoing support for terrorism" and human rights abuses. Given the regime's longstanding support for Hamas and Hezbollah, that amendment would likely blow up a deal and thereby be viewed as a poison pill by Democrats. A Rubio spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment.
Coons's amendment would scrap a provision in the Corker bill that requires the administration to periodically certify that Iran does not directly support terrorism against the United States. The White House opposes this provision because it widens the focus of the negotiations beyond Iran's nuclear program, something it says is a deal-breaker for Tehran.
A Senate Republican aide speaking to Foreign Policy said the Coons amendment has a decent chance of passing the committee, but other Democratic amendments won't fare as well, such as ones offered by Sen. Barbara Boxer of California.
One of Boxer's amendments would strike the Corker bill and replace it with her own brainchild, the Iran Congressional Oversight Act of 2015. That bill would not block a deal, but require the administration to regularly report to Congress on Iranian compliance — a measure that doesn't go far enough for Republicans.
Committee Democrats are also offering amendments that would tweak the Corker provision that requires the administration to hold off on sanctions relief for 60 days while Congress deliberates the merits of a final deal. An amendment by Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) would reduce the congressional review period from 60 calendar days to 10 "session days" (i.e., days that Congress is in session). An amendment by Coons reduces the review period to 30 calendar days. It's unclear what success those amendments might have. One Republican aide characterized the Coons amendment as a "non-starter" because it would not give Congress enough time to vote up or down on a final deal given the tight summer legislative schedule.
Still, if Republicans hope to build a veto-proof majority, they'll inevitably have to make some major concessions to liberals — especially as the White House increases the pressure on congressional Democrats to vote against any bill.
"The White House is really starting to twist the nuts on this," said one Democratic aide.
How much Corker appreciates this dynamic will likely guide his voting on Tuesday.

Shenzhen, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2015 -- The bag ban should include an exemption allowing for biodegradable bags that break down in the land fill and in the environment. By encouraging the use of these bags the demand would drive development of even better biodegradable bags (common daily usage bags: biodegradable shopping bags, biodegradable garbage bags) and could start a trend for their replacement of non-degradable bag use around the country and around the world making a huge impact on the environment. This also would allow retailers to have a better option for their customers.

Woman Care Global — an organization meant to educate women's healthcare issues — has a new video series on Funny or Die featuring Whitney Cummings, Jessica Biel, and Joy Bryant. In the video above, the three women discuss the errant condom issue, you know, that unfortunate time when a condom slips off during intercourse and gets lodged inside of a female partner. The female trio go into great detail on the search for missing contraceptives, even going so far as to physically act out the process in doing so.
Another video on IUDs confronts the fear of getting a lightning strike to the vagina, which, naturally, leads to a rumination on attaining a "super vagina" through said lightning. This, of course, leads to Biel comparing her "stronger, nastier period" to Shark Week. The final video has the ladies discussing ways of making "the pill" more attractive, with one of their suggestions being to include sounds of a crying baby every time the packaging for the morning after pill is opened.
The videos are a bit tongue-in-cheek, with the ladies obviously presenting some misinformation which is corrected by a few messages between scenes. Despite that, just hearing Biel say "super vagina" is worth the price of admission here. Check out the other two videos below.

Three Mudras~ by Edward Harsen
Isis, become divine, unwinds her turban,
turns at the waist, a slight twist one might miss
in a lesser soul, and placing a hand
to each side of the vulture crown, lifts
a new mind above her opened eyes.
For the rain-wet door handle,
for the red squeaking chair arm,
for laced shoes and gloves and children,
for calculators and smoky chocolate wrappers,
there is a phantom limb in repose,
twitching in my eye, unreachable.
I have had to carry the memories so far
they are drummed into me, into skin,
up and down my spine like low voltage yoga.
I'm a thumb drive for the sky,
the world's marimba tuned to the past.
Play me like this.

McCain Justifies Indefinite Detention of American Citizens with Debunked Statistics
Forget about the obvious violation of Constitutional rights that the recently-approved $662 billion Defense Authorization bill inflicts by allowing for indefinite military detention of United States citizens without formal charges or trial by a jury of peers, the justification for doing so just became more absurd. In the clip below, Rand Paul (R-KY) asks John McCain (R-AZ), "if an American citizen is declared an enemy combatant, could they be sent to Guantanamo Bay and detained indefinitely?"
To which McCain replied affirmative; "If they pose a threat to the security of the United States of America." McCain claimed this new anti-American authority was needed because of the "facts" that "27% of detainees who were released get back into the fight."
These so-called facts that McCain has repeatedly regurgitated have long been debunked.
A 2009 report (PDF) by Seton Hall Law Professor Mark Denbeaux found that DOD's claim referring to GITMO detainees returning to the battlefield to be pure fiction.
"Once again, they've failed to identify names, numbers, dates, times, places, or acts upon which their report relies," Denbaux said in a statement accompanying his report released.
"Every time they have been required to identify the parties, the DOD has been forced to retract their false IDs and their numbers. They have included people who have never even set foot in Guantánamo—much less were they released from there. They have counted people as 'returning to the fight' for their having written an Op-ed piece in the New York Times and for their having appeared in a documentary exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival. The DOD has revised and retracted their internally conflicting definitions, criteria, and their numbers so often that they have ceased to have any meaning—except as an effort to sway public opinion by painting a false portrait of the supposed dangers of these men."
Denbaux also said that the Defense Department has admitted that "they do not track" former detainees. "Rather than making up numbers 'willy-nilly' about post release conduct, America might be better served if our government actually kept track of them," he added.
Even according to the U.S. Government's own figures, McCain is grossly exaggerating the number. In December 2010, Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, claimed that 13.5 percent (PDF) of former Guantanamo detainees are "confirmed" to have returned to the battlefield. Yet, even that figure was proven to be an outright fraud.
In January 2011, the New America Foundation, a non-partisan public policy think tank, released a report contradicting Clapper's alarmist claims. The report found that if the Pentagon-released names can be believed, at best, only 6% of tortured and released detainees found their way back to the battlefield.
Clearly, the idea of indefinitely detaining American citizens in military prisons on the suspicion of being a "threat" to U.S. security is a gross violation of the principles on which America was founded. But what's worse, is justifying such tyranny with outright lies and distortion. Even more disgusting, is McCain and other entrenched politicians know this and yet they continue their wickedness against the American people and the Constitution.
5 Responses to McCain Justifies Indefinite Detention of American Citizens with Debunked Statistics
It's time to re-instate the bounty on vermin. I wanna go huntin.
I called Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) to thank him for his stand against the violations of our Bill of Rights entailed in this sham. I was informed that officials in the Military, and FBI did NOT endorse the need for these violations either, and in fact, were very opposed to them. Why are they even there? To basically make a statement that these elitists do NOT have to obey our laws or Constitution.
John McCain comes from a long line of traitors to the US Citizens and our Republic. His father, Admiral John McCain, ordered the USS Liberty into the danger zone where it was deliberately attacked by unmarked Israeli jets who were under orders to sink the ship and drag the US into the Six Day war against Egypt. This almost resulted in a nuclear attack according to the reports!
John (songbird) McCain sold out his fellow POW's and left the MIA's behind when he made deals with North Vietnam. Mc Insane is dangerous and is now trying to start World War III.
Ok, lets see…John McCain was himself a prisoner of war in Vietnam…
under exactly the same circumstances as he is proposing in this bill…
Has this guy gone completly bananas or something?
Bring back the Inquisition, it was more civilized… Correction on a previous post. On Adm sending Liberty into danger zone. thats normal no problem. What Adm McKane did that was treasones was covering it up. Calling back the flight of aircraft to help. This to hope the Liberty would get sunk and get sentiment against Eqypt insted of Israel to justify US getting into the Middle East War. This incldent was a warm up for the Gulf of Tonkin Incident both products of LBJ.

The silly season is here, and while many people are filled with the festive spirit, many others are filled with stress and dread.
But Christmas doesn't have to be a nightmare if you plan ahead and use a little technology!
The best way to avoid bill shock in the new year is to plan exactly what you're going to buy for who, and only buy that. As tempting as window shopping can be, it's easy to overspend or buy things just because they're on sale. It might help to check catalogues in your letterbox or compare prices online to find the best deal.
It may also help to visit an ATM as soon as you get to the shopping centre and withdraw your Christmas budget – that way once it's gone, it's gone. Alternatively, set a low limit on your credit card so you don't overspend.
Many retailers now offer click and collect options that can take the stress out of walking the aisles, especially if you're time poor leading into Christmas. It can also help with carpark rage, as you may be able to use express parking or collect from a designated collection point.
The Commonwealth Bank has crunched the numbers and found that Saturday December 16, or Super Saturday, is likely to be the busiest shopping day in the lead up to Christmas (based on last year's data). As Christmas Day falls on a Monday this year, Saturday December 23 is also likely to be busy.
Stores are generally able to open until midnight the week before Christmas (depending on your state), so take advantage of this late trade. Roy Morgan data shows Monday is the least popular day for grocery shopping, so that could be a great time to make your way to the shopping centre.
Once upon a time, gifts were made at home with love, but that seems to have fallen by the wayside.
It's these gifts that are often more thoughtful, labour intensive and highly appreciated – and they can cost you less money. Think about homemade tree decorations, cakes or biscuits or even a simple but nicely decorated homemade card instead of 'stocking stuffers' this year.
If you're shopping online this Christmas, don't forget to factor in delivery times to avoid long faces on Christmas Day. Australia Post advises that 1pm Thursday December 21 is absolutely the last day to send anything via Express Post to arrive before Christmas.
Parcels and cards can take anywhere between 2 and 6 business days to be delivered, meaning you'll want to have your shopping done by Thursday December 14 if your merchant uses Australia Post.
Some online stores may use a dedicated courier service which may bring down this deadline, so be sure to check with your favourite store to avoid disappointment.
Even if you give something as a gift, keep the receipt for warranty and refund purposes. It is far easier to return or exchange an item if you have proof of purchase. If you've given a gift that is not fit for purpose or is faulty, consumer protection still applies. Read more about consumer rights and guarantees here.
Gift cards make a quick and easy present for that hard-to-buy-for person in your life. But not everyone is using them before they expire, boosting retailers bottom lines to the tune of about $71million a year. Although laws to ban or limit expiry dates on gift cards are planned (in NSW, gift cards will have a minimum 3 year expiry from March 2018), for now – if you don't use it, you lose it. The standard expiry date is 12 months from the date of purchase, so ensure the retailer clearly writes this date on the card when you purchase. Then nag your friends and family to make sure they spend it!
We've seen the news stories with crowds flooding Myer and David Jones at 6am on Boxing Day. It's easy to get caught up in the hype of huge discounts on big sale days, but only buy what you need. It can be a great chance to stock up on linen, underwear and work clothes, and it's easy to grab items just because they are 70% off.
Much like Christmas shopping, a great tactic is to plan ahead, check out the deals online ahead of time, and write a list of where you're going and how much you're going to spend – then stick to it. It may not be as fun as a frenzy, but you'll still get great deals without the bill shock later. Many retailers start their sales on Christmas Day, giving you the opportunity to get in nice and early.
• Plan ahead: make a list, set a budget and stick to it
• Instead of buying all your gifts, try making some
• Avoid the biggest shopping days by shopping earlier in the week and late at night
• Keep your receipts, even for gifts
• Don't get sucked in by big discounts on Boxing Day

The #1 question I get asked is if the cruise is really free and the answer is YES! Sarasota is one of the most beautiful places on earth and it's even more spectacular when you see it from the water. I'm passionate about sharing that experience with people and I love watching the reactions when they see a dolphin jump out of the water or watch the sun fade beneath the horizon. It's an incredible experience that you won't soon forget.
"Am I expected to tip?"
There is absolutely no obligation to pay any fees of any sort, although tips are always appreciated to help offset operating costs which run about $300 per hour. Should you be kind enough to tip any amount over that amount, it will be donated to Humane Society of Sarasota County, a terrific local organization that I am very passionate about!
Over $40 Tip will go straight to the Humane Society!
Philanthropy is the heartbeat of any society. Here is Sarasota, I remember being honored in 2008 a Philanthropy of the year as being recognized for many small efforts lead to a big difference. No amount is every too small, together we all make a difference.
This is just another unique case of giving back to helping animals.
You can be a Humane Society of Sarasota County Constant Companion, you'll save the lives of adoptable animals every single month. Recurring donations are an easy and convenient way to give, and you'll help homeless pets 365 days a year. Monthly gifts are so important to HSSC because they provide the sustaining resources we need to help animals. Should you consider to donate for your Sunset Cruise over $40, your proceeds will be donated to the Sarasota Humane society. That is a ONE-TIME donation. Should you wish to give on a regular basis we hope you will consider them and help us all in the Sarasota County area.
For as little as $10 a month, you can make a difference!
$15 a month will microchip three pets, ensuring they'll never be lost.
$25 a month will feed one pet for a month, providing the nutrition they deserve.
$50 a month will provide spay/neuter services for one pet, moving us one step closer to ending overpopulation.
$100 a month will provide supplies to foster an infant litter of puppies or kittens, helping these fragile animals survive

I sort of have the idea at the back of my mind that if I don't have a picture at least every few posts, people will start thinking, boring, no pictures, and stop reading. So I shall waste another megabyte of my picture upload allowance with a very boring picture. Here is Warrior as we found it on Sunday, out of the water and all dried off.(Actually, it isn't, because my phone, on which the pictures reside, is starting to refuse to acknowledge when I stick a USB lead into it. I think it may be a faulty lead, but the phone is a bit highly strung so I can't be sure. This is partly why I can't always get on line and post with the baby computer) A touch of green, but - hooray - no rust; no flaking off blacking, just the old blacking with some green stuff and mysterious deposits on it. I am more than happy to take the credit for this, as Jim's memory has confirmed what I can hardly believe - that the five coats of comastic applied in 2006 were done singlehandedly by me. So we are very happy to use comastic again (Rylards vinyl tar to be precise) and there was a nearly full 20 litre tin waiting for us.
Another DIY blacker had hired a pressure washer so Jim set to straight away with that, and a wallpaper scraper, to get the green weed and mysterious stuff off. We had completely forgotton about the anodes, until we saw them. They are well worn, but should have another year's life in them, so we are adding another set in the hope of not getting Warrior out for another four years. I have my doubts about anodes, to be honest; it smacks of voodoo to me. If they're doing what they're meant to (and I'm sure Moomin will explain this to me on Sunday, with diagrams), why isn't the prop covered in magnesium? Also, they make the paint come off in their immediate vicinity. I find this rather disturbing. But anyway, anodes we had to have, so yesterday, after putting the first coat on, we set off to Limekiln Chandlery in Wolverhampton, where we had been recommended that they were cheaper than Midland Chandlers. Never one to turn down the opportunity to visit a new chandlers anyway, I grasped the opportunity. At £36.25 each for the biggest ones, I think they were a good price, but I can't honestly remember what they are elsewhere. It was a nice shop and the man behind the counter was very helpful and obliging. There was a very nice brass drawer handle on display that I wanted for Chertsey, but there were none in the box - without demur, the man unscrewed the one from the display, and threw in the screws too. The brassware was very reasonably priced as well.
While Jim was washing the hull, I swept the chimney for the French stove in the saloon - for the first time. Thanks to its marvellous design this was a straightforward task. I was glad that I hadn't bought a special chimney brush, as the one I had worked really well. This was sold for cleaning behind radiators, and is like a big bottlebrush on a flexible handle. I bought it for the purpose of sweeping the top of the oven in the back cabin stove, but it was useless for this. However, the bottlebrush bit can be bent into a circle or spiral of exactly the right size foe any chimney, so by attacking it from the top and the bottom (there is a nifty access point in the bottom of the pipe)I was able to remove a good ash drawer full of soot. I lit the fire on Sunday evening and kept it in until this morning - could have kept it going even then, but for a misjudgement on my part. I've even been able to start closing the damper a bit to help it stay in. What a marvellous stove it has turned out to be. I also swept the chimney of the back cabin stove, but as you may recall, the soot and bits from that land on top of the oven lining from where they are very difficult to remove. I quite fancied poking the hoover tube down the chimney, but it has a long rigid straight bit attached to it that won't go round the bends, and that I couldn't get off without breaking it. Another hoover, perhaps.
So, we got it washed off on Sunday, first coat on on Monday, and second coat mostly completed this morning before. a. it rained, and b. I had to go to work. And that was the 20 litre (not quite full) tin all used up. We reckon we've put it on so thickly that, coupled with what's already on there, that should be enough. It's now got until Sunday to dry out while we busy ourselves with other little tasks, and a visit from the Moomins and from Bill and Michelle.
Meanwhile, I go back tonight to Stafford (lucky Euston is so handy for my office - it's quicker to get here from there than from home, albeit more expensive)with a big pile of marking and a glimpse of that other world out there.

UPDATE: Below is an article we published when we confirmed findings about the Honor Guard discharging when dropped. In a relatively short period of time after this finding, Honor Defense began offering a voluntary upgrade that made the Honor Guard even safer and no longer vulnerable to a potential discharge when impacted on the rear. You can learn more about the upgrade here: Honor Defense Announces Free Voluntary Upgrades to Any Honor Guard Pistol Owner
Over the past few days there's been a lot of talk about the drop safety of Honor Defense's Honor Guard 9mm pistol. It has become quite the popular little gem for a gun manufactured by a company that's been around for barely 2 years.
We've been impressed with Honor Defense since the get-go because of their great pride in making quality guns in America by American craftsmen, and not just ANY craftsmen–these are U.S. Military veterans. It is a company that exudes patriotism.
Enter into the crowded single-stack 9mm compact market the Honor Guard pistol. It is a sort of cross between a S&W M&P Shield in its shape and looks and the SIG P320 in its engineering and design. It is a striker-fired, semi-auto with completely ambidextrous controls and a trigger that is sans-trigger safety. And therein lies one of its potential problems with being a drop-safe pistol. It would seem that the trigger and some of the other internals have enough mass to them that when dropped on the rear of the slide at a negative 30-degree angle (similar to the P320 with its own drop safety issues) it is capable of tripping the trigger and causing the gun to be fired.
The news was broken by Patrick Roberts, formerly of The Firearm Blog, currently striking out on his own with TheFirearmRack.com. He was prompted to take out all his guns from his safe and start striking them on the rear of the slide with a mallet to determine if there were any other firearms that might suffer from the same drop safety issue as the P320. It was discovered that the Honor Guard, with some similarly designed internal components, was also susceptible. This was demonstrated with both a drop on the ground and with the mallet strikes.
After contacting Honor Defense to inform them of his discovery, Patrick states that The Firearm Blog suppressed the story, threatening to fire him if he did anything to publish it. He has since left TFB and started The Firearm Rack and thus was able to get the story out. Since then others have corroborated the results with tests coming in from Sootch00 and Jeremy over at TheTruthAboutGuns.com.
The Test
We decided we wanted to perform our own independent test to see what sort of results we could come up with. [Video Down Below]
First we needed to acquire an Honor Guard pistol since we didn't already have one on hand. We were able to find one in stock with a local dealer, and ConcealedCarry.com President, Jacob Paulsen, was able to make the purchase. We wanted to purchase it ourselves from a random dealer so as not to have any reason to suspect the gun was altered or modified in any way.
Next we put it through a fairly rapid 200-round test to check function and reliability. We found the gun to be quite reliable. However, it did have a couple of issues. First of all, it struggled to positively extract fired casings when the magazine was removed from gun. This is not entirely alarming as there are a number of other guns that also struggle with this same issue including many Glocks. Secondly, it did have one failure-to-feed malfunction which ironically occurred on exactly the 200th round–our last round as part of the initial function check and testing.
Then we moved right into the drop test. We procured some empty, primed shell casings. We proceeded to drop it. I don't know what I was expecting, but I guess after the videos I had seen I expected it to fire when dropped. It did not. Ultimately it took 22 drops before it finally did fire. And this was when dropping from about 7 or 8 feet high as opposed to the 4 or 5 feet high we started with. After we got that result, we tried to duplicate it but were unsuccessful.
We then tried striking the rear of the slide with a mallet. I started with fairly light taps and progressively got stronger. It took 4 strikes before it fired. I then tried a second time once again progressively striking harder each time. This time it fired after 3 hits. By this point I was convinced that if I simply whacked it good and firm on the first strike it would fire with no trouble. This proved true. I gave it one good solid smack and BANG! I think you could do this reliably all day long until you either tired of it or you broke the handgun.
Ultimately that is what we ended up doing. We were going to keep dropping it, but eventually a good-sized piece of the back cover plate of the slide broke off. Also at that point I noticed the rear left portion of the rail of the slide was cracked and bent inward. The gun still seemed it would function, but it is now impossible to disassemble the gun without first somehow bending back or breaking off the cracked portion of the rail.
After the mallet strikes, we did fire a few rounds through the gun to make sure it was still functioning as it should. It had no problems firing whatsoever.
So what did we discover?
It would seem that the metal trigger has enough mass for it to move rearward during a drop on the rear of the gun. Also the sear of the Honor Guard is quite large and heavy compared to other similarly manufactured compact pistols. As the sear is connected to the trigger via the trigger bar, this likely facilitates even easier unintended movement of the trigger when dropped or struck.
We found that with our Long Slide Compact version of the Honor Guard line, which is what we purchased, was more prone to malfunction when the striking force was more in line with the barrel as opposed to the negative 30-degree angle made famous with the SIG P320 debacle. All drops at that angle did not cause the gun to fire.
From looking at some of the other bloggers and Youtubers that have drop tested the Honor Guard 9mm, it seems that the Subcompact model is much more likely to fail the test than the Long Slide version. Our test would seem to agree with that as far as the actual drop test is concerned. We did have to drop it nearly two dozen times before it finally discharged.
Is even one unintended discharge from the Honor Guard 9mm from dropping or striking it too much? Perhaps, but at the very least it makes it difficult to have confidence in your weapon and the feeling is uncomfortable. I can't tell you what to do, but you should be able to make your own decision on the matter based on these simple tests.
Also is it possible there are other guns out there that are also not "drop-safe?" It's possible, and if given the opportunity we will endeavor to test more of them. But this whole situation with the P320 and Honor Guard handguns does bring this to the front of our minds, and that is a good thing. Hopefully if there are other guns out there with safety deficiencies, we can discover them.
Where do we go from here?
After completing our own test on Friday, I called and spoke with Gary Ramey, the President of Honor Defense and shared with him our findings. What was apparent to me is that they are taking this all very seriously and are actively looking into it and working to find a solution as quickly as possible. I invited Gary to come onto the Concealed Carry Podcast sometime next week to discuss and share with us what he has discovered.
Here is a briefly edited video showing some of the testing we performed. A longer, more-detailed video is in the works, so stay tuned for it:

Could It All Be Government Phony Talk
June 9, 20113
Why Was JFK Murdered?
By Donna Coe
A few years ago while traveling to Connecticut I came across a book written by James W. Douglass, "JFK and The Unspeakable, Why He Died and What It Matters". At the time I thought it was just another book with more of the same worn-out conclusions. I had no interest in reading it. It wasn't until recently when I came across an interview given by Lew Rockwell, that my interest in this book reached a renewed level of curiosity. Reading JFK and The Unspeakableprompted me to write to you today.
Mr. Douglass taps into an entirely different approach. His approach is less about "who" pulled the trigger and more about "why" citizen denial overwhelmingly took hold of our nation's mindset, in addition to the role of government's plausible deniability, and how these elements allowed the unspeakable to occur.
Before I continue some of the terminology and circumstances Mr. Douglass discusses will need a brief explanation:
Citizen denial is a term that should be easy to understand. The difficulty is to determine whether citizen denial was the mindset in 1963 and whether it is our mindset today.
Plausible deniability is a term coined by the CIA during the Kennedy administration. It is a term used to describe the withholding of information from senior officials in order to protect them from repercussions in the event that illegal or unpopular activities by the CIA became public knowledge. Does the lack of evidence make the denial plausible, meaning that it then becomes, credible? Is plausible deniability a tactic used by the CIA today?
The explanation of the unspeakable is perhaps the most interesting, yet it might also be the most difficult to grasp. It should be noted that Mr. Douglass developed a deep admiration for the writings of Father Thomas Merton. Father Merton was born in France in 1915; he was a Trappist Monk, a poet and spiritual writer, social activist, and student of comparative religion. It was Father Merton who coined the phrase "The Unspeakable" that Mr. Douglass uses in the title of his book. "The Unspeakable" as defined by Father Merton and as it is understood by Mr. Douglass is, "an evil whose depth and deceit seem to go beyond the capacity of words to describe."
Mr. Douglass wants us to consider whether the unspeakable succeeded due to citizen denial, because the truth was hidden from us due to plausible deniability by government agencies. He presents a compelling argument that President Kennedy was assassinated by unspeakable forces, and he provides highly detailed and intricately linked evidence based on his own research and a vast array of some of the best scholarship.
In some ways Mr. Douglass actually extends the borderline and opens news paths. Read More
Thomas Merton's Life and Work
Thomas Merton (1915-1968) is arguably the most influential American Catholic author of the twentieth century. His autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain, has sold over one million copies and has been translated into over fifteen languages. He wrote over sixty other books and hundreds of poems and articles on topics ranging from monastic spirituality to civil rights, nonviolence, and the nuclear arms race.
"Whatever I may have written, I think it all can be reduced in the end to this one root truth: that God calls human persons to union with Himself and with one another in Christ, in the Church which is His Mystical Body. It is also a witness to the fact that there is and must be, in the church, a contemplative life which has no other function than to realize these mysterious things, and return to God all the thanks and praise that human hearts can give Him. It is certainly true that I have written about more than just the contemplative life. I have articulately resisted attempts to have myself classified as an "inspirational writer." But if I have written about interracial justice, or thermonuclear weapons, it is because these issues are terribly relevant to one great truth: that man is called to live as a child of God. Man must respond to this call to live in peace with all his brothers and sisters in the One Christ."

Applied Economics
Currently, the research programme consists of three groups:
Behavioural Economics
The Behavioural Economics group's research concentrates mainly on decision under ambiguity (probabilities unknown) and intertemporal choice. The particular strength of the group is that it can both do sophisticated theoretical research and experimental and field research. The interplay between these types of research leads to new models of decision making that better describe real-world behaviour.
The programme leader
Health Economics and Organisation
Core topics of the Health Economics research programme include the theoretical and empirical explorations of the causes of social inequalities in health and inequities in health care access. This includes econometric analyses of health care utilization as well as of behaviour more generally, including the linkages between health and labour force participation.
The programme leader
Strategy and Entrepreneurship
Organisation, Strategy and Entrepreneurship covers areas of Applied Economics where strategic decision making of firms, entrepreneurs, innovators and consumers are central. Increasingly focusing on the micro-level of decision making processes, theoretically and empirically the research in this discipline addresses crucial sorting, heterogeneity and causality issues of productivity, entrepreneurial opportunities and employment in relation to contexts of sectors, cities and regions, trade, foreign investment and institutions. By nature this is highly policy-relevant, as industry and urban level policymakers increasingly make well-informed and evaluated decisions on investments and economic goals. Recently, research projects explicitly reflect on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, strategic investment agendas of cities and regions, Urban Europe JPI, and implications of system-changing shocks (e.g. Brexit in the United Kingdom).

We hope your enjoyed your first week of the Fall CSA. We are preparing for pick up number two this Thursday September 14 at the Cook Field Pavilion, 3:30-5:30pm. Please don't forget to return your boxes from last week so that we can get them back into circulation.
Here is the list of Veggies for the week:
Half Share Box will include:
- Roma & heirloom tomatoes
- Braising Mix (Swiss Chard, Spinach, Kale)
- Onions
- Swish Chard
- Carrots
Full Share Box will include:
- All of the above plus…
- Head lettuce
- Beets
- Peppers
- Items for selection–cucumbers & summer squash
We will be including some unripe heirloom tomatoes for you to ripen at home. It will take a week or two for these tomatoes to fully ripen, but the flavor will be excellent if you have the patience. This saves them from cracking on the vine. If you can't wait, try fried green tomatoes!
Recipe for the week: Braised Greens
Stephanie suggests serving over rice with roasted or sautéed chicken breasts. If you have any cherry tomatoes left over, she suggested quartering and adding as a final garnish.
- 12 ounces assorted greens, like kale, collard, Swiss chard
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 large clove garlic, chopped
- 1 cup no-salt-added chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon white wine (or dry sherry)
- ¼ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- Wash the greens and remove tough stems. Cut or break greens into 2-inch lengths.
- Heat a nonstick pan over high heat; reduce heat to medium-high, add the oil and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds. Add the greens, and sauté for 1 minute.
- Stir in the stock, Sherry and hot pepper flakes; cover, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until greens are soft.
