Imhotep is a multi-dimensional individual that rose through Egyptian ranks to become a high priest. A mathematical genius, Imhotep is best known for building The Step Pyramid. This pyramid was mainly noted for sun worship and passage to higher planes after death.
Imhotep was also a medical healer incorporating a blend of new methods including astronomy, religion, philosophy and protective amulets. Here is a man who knew that true healing and healthy body is a culmination of many components and not just one. A concept modern man should practice. Healing suggests there is an imbalance or dis-ease. The imbalance occurs by outer environment. When we begin to align the outer-scape the inner will naturally follow.

Dr. C. William Chancellor, Secretary, State Board of Health, 1877
over thirty years, from 1874 to 1908, similar descriptions to the
one presented above regularly appeared in official reports to Maryland's
political leaders, yet the care of the state's indigent mentally impaired
citizens, or as they were then termed the "pauper insane," saw little or
no improvement. Hidden away to languish in county almshouses, asylums,
and even jails, the pauper insane garnered little public or private notice
in an era of supposed religious devotion and charitable generosity.
The camera
helped to change all that. Photographs played an important role in
bringing bad conditions to light and in persuading politicians and
the general public that the state should take responsibility for the care
of its indigent insane.
This exhibition,
drawn from the holdings of the Maryland State Archives, focuses on the
of photographs in the campaign for mental health care reform in Maryland
during the early twentieth century, an effort spearheaded by the Maryland
State Lunacy Commission.
Baltimore County Almshouse, 1908
history of mental health care in nineteenth century Maryland displays
an uneven rate of progress and enlightenment. Though the state rarely
stood in the forefront of embracing new ideas in treatment, it generally
led its Southern sisters in enacting more modern policies toward the care
of the insane. Fiscally conservative Maryland, one of the first states
in the nation to found a public mental institution, saw support wax and
wane throughout the nineteenth century. Patient overcrowding and
chronic understaffing characterized state facilities. The two state-run
hospitals, Spring Grove (1797) and Springfield (1896), could accommodate
only several hundred individuals.
The majority
of mentally impaired Marylanders remained either in the homes of relatives,
or if poor, in the county almshouses and jails. By 1893, approximately
one thousand such individuals resided in Maryland county facilities.
Almshouses served also as the warehouses for the incapacitated, chronically
ill, and elderly populations. Residents included those afflicted
with Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and mental retardation, or "feeble-mindedness"
as it was then known.

Although recent studies have shed light on the critical roles of sphingolipids both as structural components of membranes and
critical signaling molecules, how cells sense and regulate the levels of sphingolipids has remained a mystery. We found that
members of the highly conserved but previously uncharacterized Orm protein family inhibit the first and rate-limiting step of
de novo sphingolipid production. Moreover, the activity of Orm proteins is dynamically regulated by a key feedback
loop: when sphingolipid synthesis is disrupted, Orm proteins are inactivated by phosphorylation, thus providing cells with an
elegant mechanism to couple sphingolipid production to metabolic demand.
Our findings are of particular interest in light of the recent identification of a major genetic risk factor for asthma near the locus of the human ORM gene homolog ORMDL3. Polymorphisms which alter ORMDL3 expression account for up to ~20% of childhood asthma cases and have also been implicated in other inflammation-based diseases such as Type I diabetes. Thus, our finding that alterations in ORM gene activity profoundly affect sphingolipid metabolism raises the testable hypothesis that misregulation of sphingolipids contributes directly to the pathogenesis of asthma. We are now extending our initial studies to define the mechanism by which Ormdl proteins are regulated in mammalian cells. Recent progress in identifying upstream components of the yeast phosphorylation feedback pathway will guide these efforts and may also enable us to define a molecular sensor of sphingolipid levels. Thus, our work on Orm family proteins promises to inform a fundamental question in cell biology and may also reveal novel roles for sphingolipids in inflammatory diseases.

Parenting – if you can do that, you can mastermind.
Some of you may know that I have my fourth exchange student living with us right now. I've decided that there are some interesting similarities between parenting somebody else's child living with you and masterminding. Now, that may seem like a really weird correlation but read on…
We've had four exchange students and so I know that one of the tough things about being the parent of an exchange student is that real life sets in after the "getting to know each other phase" and it's difficult to parent someone else's child. As a parent sometimes there are "discipline" types of things that occur. Maybe they're not emptying the dishwasher when you've asked them to, or they're not getting their homework done and teachers are emailing, or things of that nature. There are also a lot of great things, just like with your own children, like when they participate in school sports you go and cheer them on. Or you attend their school play. You want to support them, and be parents to them, as if they were your own child. Yet there's this little part that's detached because this kid doesn't really belong to you and it's also temporary. At some point you hug goodbye at an airport and return home to their empty room.
That's where I see an interesting connection to Mastermind groups. When you're involved in a mastermind group you want to talk about what's going on in your organization and get feedback from the other members, and sometimes you have to remind yourself that these members don't really have buy-in to your company, except that they care about your success the same way that you care about their success in their own companies.
Like parenting someone else's child their success is your own success. If your fellow Mastermind group members do well in their businesses; they grow their businesses and achieve their goals, then when they succeed you also succeed. Because you had a connection and involvement in what happened to their business because you were there to give advice, brainstorm, and support them. In our High Stakes Mastermind Groups, we call it taking the "Silo out of Solo".
Being in a mastermind group is a responsibility you sign on to – to be a support mechanism for others. And the payoff is really huge. Just like when you see your own kid walk across that stage and carry away their diploma, there's a great deal of pride in seeing the success of your fellow Mastermind group members. And the cool thing is they feel pride when you succeed too. And another special feeling, love.
So yeah, Masterminding is a little bit like parenting someone else's kid.

Dude, Really? CNN's Acosta Refers To Angel Moms' Kids As Those Allegedly Killed By Illegal Aliens – Matt Vespa: President Trump declared a national emergency today concerning the border .02/16/2019 9:37:25AM EST.
There's nothing lawless about the president using an emergency declaration to make available already appropriated funding for military construction of a border fence. The fence, emergency declaration, and appropriations transfer authority all derive from existing laws.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 14, 2019
Congress gave the president authority to declare emergencies via the National Emergencies Act of 1976. Congress authorized the construction of a border fence via the Secure Fence Act of 2006. And it appropriated funding for military construction projects via Public Law 115-244.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 14, 2019
There are fair *political* arguments to make against the president using a declaration of emergency to fund border fence construction, but the *legal/constitutional* arguments against it are baseless. POTUS has the authority to do this because Congress repeatedly gave it to him.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) February 14, 2019
There is no new legal or constitutional precedent, given that Bush and Obama used emergency declarations to unilaterally transfer appropriated funds for other purposes at least 18 times during their presidencies. https://t.co/4xX2qdgmAE

Jim Acosta asks POTUS if he is manufacturing a crisis at the border.
POTUS defers to Angel Moms, who hold up pictures of their children toward Acosta and say, "is this manufactured?" and "this is real."
— Amber Athey (@amber_athey) February 15, 2019
ACOSTA: "I believe in facts… What do you say to your critics who say you are creating a national emergency?"

Projects thrive on great contributions, but this does not happen by magic. Very often, people will leave projects that do not make them feel welcome or are easy to contribute to. A vibrant project attracts, grows, and values all contributions, and this is especially important for welcoming first-timers like women and members of other underrepresented groups to FOSS.
Nithya Ruff and Rupa Dachere explain how to create on-ramps for first-time contributors, how to retain the contributors you have, and how to develop contributors for the future. Along the way, they share best practices from companies and projects for making new developers feel welcome.
Nithya A. Ruff is the senior director for Comcast's Open Source Strategy practice. Nithya first glimpsed the power of open source while at SGI in the '90s and has been building bridges between hardware developers and the open source community ever since. Previously, she created and managed Western's Digital's Open Source office and has held leadership positions at Wind River (an Intel company), Synopsys, Avaya, Tripwire, and Eastman Kodak. Nithya has been a passionate advocate for opening doors to new people in open source for many years and has promoted diverse ways of contributing to open source projects. She is coleader of the Women of OpenStack (WOO) group and a liaison into the OpenStack Foundation. Her work has included partnering with NCWIT on a Male Allies Workshop and panel and serving as a mentor at OpenStack. She is also a sponsor of the Women in Open Source (WIOS) Lunch at the Linux Foundation and an active leader of WIOS, advocating for reducing barriers for women and underrepresented minorities. Nithya was invited to be on a diversity leader panel at the 2015 All Things Open conference and has spoken at a number of other conferences, including OSCON, SCALE, Grace Hopper, OpenStack, and Red Hat Summit. Her writing on open source and best practices for increasing diversity has appeared in Light Reading, the Huffington Post, Opensource.com, and the San Jose Business Journal. You can often find her on social media promoting dialogue on diversity and open source. In recognition of her work in open source both on the business and community side, Nithya was named to CIO Magazine's most influential women in open source list. In 2014, she was invited to be president of SanDisk's Women's Innovation Network (WIN), dedicated to the development of women's highest potential in the work place. Nithya holds an MS in computer science from NDSU and an MBA from the University of Rochester's Simon Business School. She lives in the Bay Area and is a proud mother of two daughters.

The Dutch enclave of Holambra is the most important floricultural area of Brazil. While things have slowed down for cut flower growers, the pot plant growers are currently doing good business. They've got great confidence in the market. 'With a domestic market of more than 200 million people, we don't need exports.' Floribusiness travelled to the other side of the ocean and had a look around.
By Arie-Frans Middelburg
'Brazilian floricultural industry not yet flourishing' was the headline of an article published in a 2006 edition of Het Vakblad voor de Bloemisterij. Colleague Cindy van der Zwet visited Holambra that year. She concluded that things weren't looking great for the entrepreneurs in the floricultural industry. 'Investments and expansions are being put off for now', she wrote. Twelve years later, the situation for the growers in Holambra and surroundings has turned for the better. The acreage is increasing, pot plant growers are investing heavily and young successors are taking over their parents' companies with a feeling of optimism.
It's remarkable that the pot plant growers are doing so well. Brazil went through an economic crisis in 2015 and 2016, but their turnover was still good. Kalanchoe and calandiva grower Joost van Oene thinks it's because of a visionary outlook.
Veiling Holambra, which Van Oene is the chairman of, developed a strategic plan in 2013. "We learned from interviews with customers and supermarkets that sales through supermarkets had great potential."
The auction decided to start taking part in APAS, a large trade fair for supermarket suppliers. Their goal? To get supermarkets to become auction customers. Van Oene: "That was a good decision, because it's thanks to the supermarkets that we weren't hit by the crisis in 2015 and 2016."
At the moment, the auction has 60 supermarkets among its members. The potential of plant sales via supermarkets seems endless. There are more than 700 supermarket chains in Brazil. With their lower prices, supermarkets can introduce plants to a wider range of people. Plants used to be something for the country's richer upper class only. And the supermarket also stimulates purchasing plants for personal use.
Until recently, that was quite unusual. Flower sales were mostly linked to special days, like Valentine's, International Women's Day, Mother's Day, All Saints' Day, Springtime and Christmas. Apart from supermarkets, DIY stores and chains of pet stores have also started selling plants.
Own interest
You could accuse Van Oene of singing his own praises, since he's the chairman of Veiling Holambra. But whichever pot plant grower in Holambra you talk to, they all mention how important the supermarkets have been for potted plant sales the last couple of years.
Frans van de Weijer, who grows phalaenopsis, dendrobium and bromeliad for example, says: "New supermarkets are opened monthly and regional supermarkets are expanding. The retail segment is important. It helps pot plants become more popular and ensures they're available in more and more sales locations." It's clear from the many investments and expansions, that the pot plant companies are doing well. And this goes for phalaenopsis in particular.
Is everything really that great when it comes to supermarkets and pot plants? No, the auction remembers some very difficult negotiations with a large supermarket chain, which accounts for 8% of the auction turnover, regarding Veiling Holambra's payment terms. The chain felt they were too strict. The auction put its foot down.
And there's still plenty to improve with regards to sales through supermarkets. Many supermarkets forget about shelf management, with wilted plants and flowers on display as a result. And presentation isn't always great, either.
Recession has an impact
The optimism of the pot plant growers in Holambra and surroundings is quite an uncommon sound in Brazil, according to Kees Schoenmaker. He owns the large floricultural company Terra Viva. In his role as chairman of Ibraflor, the Brazilian organisation of floricultural producers, he recently heard at a national meeting that tree and shrub growers were feeling a considerable impact of the recession. Gardening and landscaping is the last thing on people's minds, when the economy is doing badly.
Schoenmaker continues to explain that unlike the pot plant growers, many flower growers in Holambra were also hit by the recession. In addition to the peak days, a lot of flowers are used for events, and there weren't as many of those as normal in 2015 and 2016.
"We aren't part of the pot plant segment's celebrations", says Adriano van Rooyen. He has 7 ha of rose in Andradas, the flower area that's a 1.5-hour drive away from Holambra. It consists of 200 ha of flowers, mostly rose, followed by alstroemeria.
Van Rooyen: "We're in survival mode. 70% of the flowers is used for decoration. That's what was saved on the most during the crisis. And since supermarkets started selling potted plants, many florists have gone bankrupt. They can't exist on the sale of cut flowers alone.
Van Rooyen has been based in Andradas since 2006; in the beginning, he'd expand his acreage by a hectare each year. But the past three years, he hasn't been able to invest at all. In fact, he's had to cut back on staff. In the beginning of last year, he had 70 employees, nowadays he has 57.
Rob van Rooyen and Roberto Kievitsbosch of Rosas Flamingo, which has 24 ha of rose cultivation in Andradas, are also holding back. They're putting off investments and make do with 10% fewer workers. Van Rooyen and Kievitsbosch did notice some improvement during the days leading up to International Women's Day though, and they're also getting in quite a few orders for Mother's Day in May.
Different story
Rose grower Geraldo Reijers – 31 ha in Andradas and a branch in Ceará – is telling us a different story. He sells a large part of his production through Cooperflora, a cooperative of mostly flower growers, who left the auction twenty years ago. He feels that Cooperflora negotiates more aggressively than Veiling Holambra and has a stronger position with the supermarkets when it comes to flowers.
"We weren't hit by the crisis too badly, because we've been selling to supermarkets for longer." A big advantage of Cooperflora in his opinion, is that they do more direct sales with end customers.
In the meantime, Veiling Holambra has developed a strong focus on flower sales through the supermarket chain. They launched the Poética Flor concept. Their goal is to increase their flower sales through supermarkets up to a value of more than 1.25 million euros. With a view to possible future requirements of the retailers, Veiling Holambra has also started a certification programme covering the entire chain, including producers, auction and logistics operators. The space needed for an increase in supermarket customers isn't a problem at Veiling Holambra.
But there's still a lot to be improved in the cold chain from producer to end customer, according to Roberto Okubo of Okubo Flores. He grows snapdragon, gypsophila and cut flowers 60 kilometres from Sao Paulo. It's a fact that flowers are more delicate than plants in Brazil's tropical climate.
Longer shelf life
"The cold chain for flowers isn't adequate and supermarkets don't know much about flowers yet", says Okubo. Supplying to supermarkets also requires certain adjustments on the growers' side. Flowers need to have a longer shelf life.
"For events, it doesn't really matter if the flowers only last a couple of days. But if you want to sell them in a supermarket, shelf life needs to be better than that. And supermarkets want shorter stems. Growers need to review their post-harvest processing and their choice of varieties. But we should focus more on supermarkets. It provides a steady sales flow. We're too dependent on events."
Rob van Rooyen is convinced that things will improve again. "We've gone through difficult periods before. But we've also had some very good years, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to expand like we did. Our hope for the future lies with the supermarket chain. Our initial strategy is to get in with the supermarkets that are selling potted plants. The infrastructure is already there."
Brazilian corruption and bureaucracy
Brazil is a country where corruption is rampant. Former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was convicted of corruption and had to go to jail. Ex-president Dilma Rousseff was accused of tampering with the accounts and there's also a corruption investigation against current president Michel Temer. Corruption is found at all levels of government administration. Auction director Van Kruijssen says: "The corruption is deeply rooted, but this is addressed now. That's positive. We need new regulations and inspections, as well as a new generation of politicians, who are willing to work for the country without enriching themselves."
The next elections will take place in October. Are they going to have an impact on the horticultural industry? Possibly, if a political crisis is going to lead the country into an economic crisis. That could have a negative impact on the exchange rate between the reais and foreign currencies, which is bad for the imports of plant materials, greenhouse materials and royalty payments. Fuel prices might go up, which has a negative influence on plant and flower transports. Many growers aren't afraid of the elections, though. 'Things can only get better', said one of them.
Bureaucracy is another problem in Brazil. For example, all workers at a nursery are obliged to wear clothing that protects them against the sun. If this isn't provided, an employee can take the employer to court. Bureaucracy plays a role in imports, too. Not all reproductive materials can be imported.
And when it comes to plant and flower exports, bureaucracy is also a hindrance. But that doesn't really bother the Brazilians too much. With more than 200 million people, the domestic market is huge and not yet saturated.
Despite the fact that the wages are comparable with those in Ecuador and Colombia, the growers don't feel they can compete with the heavier flowers, with larger buds, from those countries. Ceará is located near the equator, but it's only 800 metres above sea level. They don't see themselves competing with the Africans on the European market either, because their costs are lower. KLM is planning to fly to Fortaleza, near Ceará. The airport of São Paulo, two hours away from Holambra, doesn't have adequate cooling facilities to export flowers. Some Brazilian growers are considering distributing plants and flowers to neighbouring countries. But with all the bureaucratic hassle, that won't happen overnight either.

Fans who wanted an entire day of on-court action were in luck, as there were 11 NBA games on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, beginning early in the afternoon and spanning all the way into late Monday night.
James Harden has been on an absolute tear lately, as he has been putting up points at a historical pace. The Rockets got another monster performance from him on Monday (37 points in 30 minutes), but it wasn't nearly enough against the 76ers, who were paced by 32 points and 14 rebounds from Joel Embiid.
Meanwhile, LeBron James, who has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury against the Warriors on Christmas Day, didn't get an opportunity for revenge on Monday night as he was inactive against Golden State. The Lakers were also be without the services of second-year guard Lonzo Ball, who is sidelined 4-to-6 weeks with an ankle sprain, and Rajon Rondo. They were all sorely missed, as the suddenly unbeatable Warriors, featuring a red-hot Klay Thompson, were far too much for the shorthanded Lakers.
Here's everything you need to know about Monday's action, along with Tuesday's schedule.
NBA scores for Monday, Jan. 21
- Oklahoma City Thunder 127, New York Knicks 109 (Box Score)
- Chicago Bulls 104, Cleveland Cavaliers 88 (Box Score)
- Washington Wizards 101, Detroit Pistons 87 (Box Score)
- Milwaukee Bucks 116, Dallas Mavericks 106 (Box Score)
- Orlando Magic 122, Atlanta Hawks 103 (Box Score)
- Brooklyn Nets 123, Sacramento Kings 94 (Box Score)
- New Orleans Pelicans 105, Memphis Grizzlies 85 (Box Score)
- Boston Celtics 107, Miami Heat 99 (Box Score)
- Philadelphia 76ers 121, Houston Rockets 93 (Box Score)
- Portland Trail Blazers 109, Utah Jazz 104 (Box Score)
- Golden State Warriors 130, Los Angeles Lakers 111 (Box Score)
NBA schedule for Tuesday, Jan. 22
*All times Eastern
Klay goes nuclear, sets NBA record
We all know that Klay Thompson is capable of getting scorching hot incredibly quickly, and we saw it firsthand on Monday against the Lakers. Thompson set an NBA record by making his first 10 3-point attempts, including seven in the third quarter alone. He finished with 44 points on 10-of-11 3-point shooting in the Warriors' blowout win.
Embiid dominates Rockets
Without Clint Capela, the Rockets had absolutely no answer for 76ers center Joel Embiid. The big man put up 32 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks in just 26 minutes on Monday.
Irving leads Celtics past Heat
Kyrie Irving kept up his strong run of form with a near triple-double in the Celtics' win over the Heat on Monday evening. The point guard finished with 26 points, 10 assists and eight steals — yes, steals. While single-game plus/minus statistics are a bit wonky, Irving finished a remarkable plus-25 in a game the Celtics won by just eight points. This was the fourth straight win for the Celtics.
Doncic records historic triple-double against Bucks
Luka Doncic is running away with the Rookie of the Year race at this point in the regular season and he continued his impressive play on Monday by becoming the second-youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double.
Embiid hustles back for a big block on Harden
The first half between the Sixers and Rockets ended in hectic fashion. Out on the fast break, James Harden Euro-stepped around the defense and appeared to have an easy bucket, but Joel Embiid arrived from behind for a huge chase-down block — though it probably should have been called a foul.
Irving shows off his passing skills
Kyrie Irving has been on a tear lately in the assist department, and he kept that up against the Heat. Check out this fancy feed between his legs on the fast break.
Westbrook and George get off to hot start for the Thunder
An early tip after a night off in Manhattan is typically not a recipe for success for visiting teams but Paul George and Russell Westbrook looked more than comfortable in the opening half of play against the Knicks by combining for 27 points at the Garden.
LaVine has a personal dunk contest against the Cavaliers
The Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers won't sniff the playoffs this season but the two Central Division rivals squared off on Monday and Zach LaVine helped Chicago get off to a strong start by turning defense into easy offense. Later on, LaVine found himself on the finishing end of an impressive alley-oop.
Jackson Jr. posterizes Mirotic with one-handed slam
Jaren Jackson Jr. continues to look like an absolute steal for the Memphis Grizzlies and he continued a strong rookie campaign on Monday with this finish over Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic.
Satoransky nutmegs Pachulia on an assist
The Wizards jumped all over the Pistons in the early going of their MLK Day showdown in D.C. and Tomas Satoransky provided fans with one impressive highlight by finding Thomas Bryant for a score with a nifty pass between the legs of Zaza Pachulia.
Antetokounmpo dunks over Doncic
Giannis Antetokounmpo continued his MVP campaign on Monday by helping lead the Bucks to a win over Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. The Greek Freak made sure to let the rookie know it after this emphatic finish.
Baynes protects the rim against the Heat
Aron Baynes has provided the Celtics' frontcourt with a boost since returning to the lineup and he reminded the rest of the league that he is a willing rim protector on Monday with these challenges.
Bledsoe posterizes a Mavericks defender
Giannis Antetokounmpo earns most of the headlines when it comes to the Bucks these days but Eric Bledsoe reminded NBA fans that he is more than capable of providing an impressive highlight as well when the opportunity presents itself as he showed with this finish.

Managing Your Media: Best Practices
The best piece of media isn't the one with perfect particles, or the one that frames in the story just right….the best piece of media is the one that you can find.
Have you ever been sitting at your computer trying to program an event, concert, or service and a light bulb goes off to use a motion you have in your collection…and then you spend 20 minutes digging through your computer and six external hard drives only to settle on something else?
Managing your media is extremely important if you want to be able to effectively communicate stories, create environments, and VJ on the fly.
External vs. Internal Storage?
What Type of Drive to Use?
There are lots of schools of thought out their for whether it is better to use an internal or external drive. The biggest things to consider is solid state (SSD) vs. a traditional spinning drive. Solid state will be the fastest option. Another idea to consider if you're using an external drive (more than just for backup) is to choose one with a great connection. For Mac users, go with a lightning connection. You'll get the fastest speeds possible and won't see the lag you might notice in a USB or Firewire cable. For PC users, look into USB 3 or eSata connections as the best options..
If you can, upgrade your internal hard drive to an SSD as this will give you the fastest performance from your media.
Storage vs. Organization
Managing your media is more than simply placing items in folders on the drive of your choice. It's creating an organization system that allows you to find the media quickly to be able to use the right piece in the right environment. Storage allows you to have a ton of content in one place. But storage doesn't allow you to easily access your content. Think about your basement, attic, shed, or storage unit. All of these can be great places to put away Christmas decorations, old clothes, and mementos you're not ready to part with just yet. But, are they really ever organized?
Organization means taking your media and categorizing it into a system that works for you. Is this a one size fits all "you have to do it this way" concept? No. But the idea of organization is key to your success as a visual artist and tech.
So, how do you categorize media to make it easy to find and use?
Seasonal makes sense for Christmas, Easter, etc. But doesn't really make sense for the rest of the year when seasonal media isn't really needed or appropriate. Seasonal might also contain some duplicate pieces (such as a sacred collection for Easter) that you use throughout the year.
Along the lines of seasonal, thematic might be snow, water (for baptisms/summer events), or sporting events.
Categories would include particles, cosmos, sacred, etc. You might have seasonal and thematic pieces within your categorizations.
Whatever categorization system you implement, stay consistent. If you make a system change, then be sure to change it globally and communicate to those affected about the change. This is your system that you have to work with and know. Make it your own.
If you work on a team, come up with a plan for media organization that is consistent. There is going to be some compromise, but remember that you want everyone on the team to be able to find what they need.
Electronics fail…I think that's why having a great organization system for your media is so important. But, if you don't have a backup of your media and something happens you're out of luck. Be sure to backup your media often. Backup after moving media, adding new media, or working on show files. This will keep everything up to date and minimize frustrations in the long run.
If all else fails, remember your purchases on TripleWide Media are always backed up and available whenever you need access to it in all the sizes!

When Nietzsche Wept (2007)
It is sad when talented people do not have the resources available to produce essentially great works. So is the case in this film which should have been rewritten and had better visual effects for the dream sequences (as they were, it seemed like 80's television).
The story is a great one: Nietzsche and Dr. Breuer (Freud's mentor) team up to put a new philosophy into practice. The problems, lust and self-hatred, is age old and the solution appears beyond the men's grasp. As they descend towards a nihilistic and hopeless end, it is their friendship and the loving people around them that bring them salvation.
Armand Assante deserves special mention for his portrayal of the tortured Friedrich Nietzsche. He is very articulate and his eyes (and moustache) give away the essence of his loneliness.
I read in another review that the temptresses weren't given the depth of character that they had in the novel on which the film is based. It is certain that these great minds would not have solely been tempted physically, but would also have been drawn to like minded and affectionate women.
Truth: Irregardless of our philosophies, love is the engine that drives us to do things for the other.

Remember this movie?
Yup, it's xiao hai bu ben, or I Not Stupid, directed by Jack Neo and released in 2002.
It's a classic in Singapore film history, by characterising the difficulties in a result-oriented education system, tiger mum attitudes, favouring foreigners over locals in the workplace, and more.
Basically, Jack Neo did an amazing job capturing what made Singapore Singapore in the movie.
And it had a sequel, too.
Time really flies, because that rightmost boy in the first picture as well as the second picture, now looks like this:
And he's just got married! And he's becoming a Dad!
The 29-year old, who left the entertainment industry in 2012, tied the knot with air stewardess Shannon Low, 27, last weekend (3 March).
He also just revealed to local publication 8days that they were expecting a child.
Ang, who met his wife while studying for a Banking and Finance degree in Murdoch University after leaving Mediacorp, indicated worries about the cost of raising a child in Singapore nowadays.
Nonetheless, he remains positive:
"We're worried about our finances as raising a kid can be financially taxing, but of course, we will do our best for our child. And you know what, we're definitely not stopping at one!"
Great for him and his family!
More entertainment news:
Raising a child in Singapore costs an average of S$300,000 from birth till University, a study has found. It could be a major cause for this:

CRAIG Overton claimed 3-25 as Somerset fought back against Warwickshire on the opening day of their Specsavers County Championship clash at Taunton on Monday.
Seventeen wickets fell on an action-packed day at the Cooper Associates County Ground, as early Division 1 leaders Somerset were bowled out for 209, with Oliver Hannon-Darby claiming a career-best 5-18.
But Warwickshire's batsmen also struggled on a green-tinged pitch, slumping to 79-5 as Craig Overton took three of the wickets, before closing on 110-7 to give the hosts an overnight lead of 99 runs.
Somerset's total was boosted by 47 Extras, and the top score by a batsman on either side was the 36 made by Josh Davey – the Somerset seamer coming into the team in place of the injured Jack Brooks.
The tone for the day was set at the end of the second over when Marcus Trescothick edged Hannon-Dalby to Will Rhodes at second slip; Trescothick departed for five and has made only 34 runs in five Championship innings this season.
Somerset adopted something of a cavalier approach, scoring quickly, but losing wickets.
James Hildreth was caught at backward-point cutting Henry Brookes, and Hannon-Dalby pinned Tom Abell lbw to make it 57-3.
Liam Norwell then Azhar Ali with a full delivery and when George Bartlett was bowled off his midriff trying to pull a ball from Brookes, the hosts were 77-5.
Lewis Gregory contributed 20 before he too fell to Hannon-Dalby, and at lunch the home side were 143-6 from just 29 overs.
Overton was bowled by Norwell in the first over after the interval before Steve Davies and Davey put together a stand of 58 to at least earn a single batting point.
Davies (23) fell lbw to Jeetan Patel; Davey followed with the score still on 205, and the hosts were all out soon after, losing their last three wickets for just four runs.
Warwickshire's reply had reached 13 when a mix-up over a single between Dom Sibley and Rhodes saw the latter run out by Abell for eight.
It was 29-2 in the 11th over when Yates edged Overton through to wicketkeeper Davies, and from 42-2 at tea, the visitors slid into trouble as the impressive Overton sent back Sam Hain and Adam Hose, both lbw.
Hose had made only two against his old club and Warwickshire were 53-4.
Sibley looked solid in reaching 26, but then fell to a brilliant low diving catch by Overton at gully, off Tim Groenewald.
Tim Ambrose joined the long list of batting casualties when bowled off an inside edge by Gregory, and Brookes fell to Leach in the final over of the day.

Constexpr pseudorandom numbers
in English on C++
The last article was more about general stuff and talks, now let's get to some programming. To make it interesting for the wider audience, we shall try to make everything
constexpr. Also, I'll give you some math and explanations.
The root of all the pseudorandom generators is the so-called "seed". This is the first number, which will initialize our pseudorandom generators. Since we're writing compile-time generators, we should also get the compile-time seed. As I've mentioned in the last article, for the run-time I prefer to use the
std::chrono::high_resolution_clock with its nanosecond resolution. Unfortunately, there's no such thing in the compile-time, but there is a macro from plain C, which we might want to use:
It will return a
const char* string with current time like this: "08:15:59". First of all, I wanted to use
std::from_chars, but it's impossible due to the lack of the
constexpr specifier, so we'll write our own. Fortunately, we know the format of our input string and we don't have to worry about all of the corner cases and we get something like this:
constexpr static auto time_from_string(const char* str, int offset) {
return static_cast<std::uint32_t>(str[offset] - '0') * 10 +
static_cast<std::uint32_t>(str[offset + 1] - '0');
constexpr static auto get_seed_constexpr() {
auto t = __TIME__;
return time_from_string(t, 0) * 60 * 60 + time_from_string(t, 3) * 60 + time_from_string(t, 6);
This seed will reset every day, so if we want to add more randomness, we might want to use the
__DATE__ macro, but the current situation is fine for me.
For the uniformely distributed numbers I use the Linear congruential generator. With good parameters (modulus m, multiplier a and increment c) this algorithm provides a long series of non-repeating pseudo-random numbers (up to the
2^{64}, as far as I know). It may be formalized this way:
\begin{aligned} X_n = (a * X_{n - 1} + c) \text{ mod } m \end{aligned}
Constexpr functions do not allow variables with extended lifetime (static). This is because constexpr functions should only rely on the underlying algorithms and input parameters, and static variable kinda violates this rule. But, since the linear congruential generator is the state-based algorithm, we have to somehow propagate back the result of the computation. We can make it by passing the value by reference and storing it this way.
constexpr static std::uint32_t uniform_distribution(std::uint32_t &previous) {
previous = ((lce_a * previous + lce_c) % lce_m);
return previous;
Getting the array of the uniformly distributed values is pretty simple in C++17 (thanks to the common
for loop). In C++11 and C++14 the only way to make a loop was the recursion. Yeah, almost every loop can be converted to the recursion representation, but me personally and many other developers are too lazy for it. Because a user can require an array of any type, first of all, we have to normalize the value, and only then scale and shift it.
constexpr static double uniform_distribution_n(std::uint32_t &previous) {
auto dst = uniform_distribution(previous);
return static_cast<double>(dst) / lce_m;
template <typename T, std::size_t sz>
constexpr static auto uniform_distribution(T min, T max) {
std::array<T, sz> dst{};
auto previous = get_seed_constexpr();
for (auto &el : dst)
el = static_cast<T>(uniform_distribution_n(previous) * (max - min) + min);
return dst;
Now comes the interesting part, the normal distribution. During the runtime, I prefer to generate AWGN with the Box-Muller algorithm, because it's simple, elegant and easy to understand (therefore, easy for the compiler to optimize). Unfortunately, current compilers have a very limited constexpr steps quantity and limited memory (did you know, that compilers never deallocate memory?). Due to the potentially long loop, we may run out of steps and memory quite soon, therefore, a small array of numbers.
This is the case, where the Irwin-Hall distribution may help us.
\begin{aligned} X = \sum_{i=0}^n U_i \text{ for the } U = (U_1, U_2, ...) \end{aligned}
Irwin-Hall distribution is the sum of the n uniformly distributed values. Its probability density function may be represented as
\begin{aligned} f_X(x;n)=\frac{1}{2(n-1)!}\sum_{k=0}^n (-1)^k{n \choose k} sign(x-k) (x-k)^{n-1} \end{aligned}
Generally speaking, one may not only sum the values, but also substract them. Most of the implementations I've came up with are limited to adding. Here's the corresponding code:
template <typename T, std::size_t sz, std::size_t irwin_numbers = 12>
constexpr static auto normal_distribution(double mean, double sigma) {
std::array<T, sz> dst{};
auto previous = get_seed_constexpr();
for (auto &el : dst) {
double val = 0;
for (std::size_t i = 0; i < irwin_numbers; ++i)
val += uniform_distribution_n(previous);
// UPDATE: bug here. Should be std::sqrt((irwin_numbers / 12)),
// but std::sqrt is not constexpr by default,
// and I don't want to use any external libraries here by now
el = val / (irwin_numbers / 12) - irwin_numbers / 2;
return dst;
With this done we've managed to generate noise buffers at compile time, saving us the precious runtime. Was it worth it? It depends. If you're working on some research, where you constantly have to rebuild your program, you will only waste time and numerous cups of coffee on debugging the
constexpr compiler errors. Otherwise, if you're shipping the application to many users, you may save a lot of time for them.
At the C++Russia conference in St. Petersburg this summer I had a very interesting talk with David Vandevoorde about
constexpr and it's future developments. According to David,
constexpr will be more powerful and more forgiving in the next standard, there will be
constexpr memory allocations,
constexpr! and many other things. This is a great idea and movement vector by any means, but I'm quite concerned about current
constexpr state. Compilers have a very limited support for it, a small number of steps, compile-time operations take ages to finish, grab a whole lot of memory etc. I'm pretty sure, that the compiler vendors won't be so happy about these changes, since it may require a ton of work on rewriting the
constexpr engine. David has assured me, that as a compiler-guy himself, he's looking forward to the upcoming standard and he really wants it to become real.

Multiple-Choice Cable Content Bill Planned
Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.) and Tom Osborne (R-Neb.) are introducing a bill that would try to control cable content by giving the industry a choice among three regulatory approaches.
According to a top Lipinski staffer, The bill, The Family Choice Act of 2006, would require multichannel video providers to choose one of three options: 1) apply FCC broadcast indecency standards to their own programming, currently free of FCC indecency oversight; 2) offer an opt-out form of a la carte so subscribers could choose not to take certain channels; or 3) offer a family-friendly tier that meets the definition supplied in the bill but not supplied to this reporter..
They will introduce the bill the same day--July 27-that the Senate is being briefed on a new $300 million content-control campaign from the TV industry, an effort meant, in part, to head off calls for mandated à la carte cable, but representatives for both legislators say the timing was coincidence.
Parents Television Council President, Brent Bozell, a fan of a la carte, will join the legislators for the announcement.
A bill, introduced by frequent cable critic Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) that would have effectively forced a la carte--making expediting cable franchising contingent on it--was defeated overwhelmingly as an amendment to a Senate telecom reform bill awaiting a floor vote.
"In today's culture, young children are faced with a barrage of inappropriate images and messages coming into our homes," Lipinski said in a PTC release promoting the bill. "We need to help parents by giving them meaningful ways to protect their children from indecent programming, and this bill will do that."
The likelihood of such a bill passing remain slim to none, particularly given the bipartisan 20-2 defeat of the McCain bill in the Senate Commerce Committee.
Cable argues that a la carte runs roughshod over its business model, likening it to forcing a newspaper to sell the sports or business sections individually, or breaking out the anchor store from a mall whose niche stores depend on it for their traffic and survival. The argument has resonated with some Democrats.

[Verse 1]
I should ink my skin with your name
And take my passport out again
And just replace it
See I could do without a tan
On my left hand
Where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
And I should run you a hot bath
Fill it up with bubbles
'Cause maybe you're loveable
Maybe you're my snowflake
And your eyes turn from green to gray
And in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place
And you should never cut your hair
'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder
And you will never know
Just how beautiful you are to me
But maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me up
[Verse 2]
And would you ever feel guilty if you did the same to me
Could you make me a cup of tea
To open my eyes in the right way
And I know you love Shrek
'Cause we've watched it 12 times
And maybe you're hoping for a fairy-tale too
And if your DVD breaks today
You should've got a VCR
Because I've never owned a blu-ray, true say
I know I've always been shit at computer games
And your brother always beats me
And if I lost, I go across and chuck all the controllers at the TV
And then you laugh at me
And be asking me
If I'm gonna be home next week
And then you lie with me 'til I fall asleep
And flutter eye lash on my cheek between the sheets
And you will never know
Just how beautiful you are to me
But maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me up
[Verse 3]
And I think you hate the smell of smoke
You always try and get me to stop
But you drink as much as me
And I get drunk a lot
So I'll take you to the beach
And walk along the sand
And I'll make you a heart pendant
With a pebble held in my hand
And I'll carve it like this necklace
So the heart falls where your chest is
Now a piece of me is a piece of the beach
And it falls just where it needs to be
And rests peacefully
So you just need to breathe to feel my heart against yours now
Against yours now
Cos maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
Or maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up
From A Visual Journey:
'Wake Me Up' is another song about my ex-girlfriend. I wrote it in LA, the first time I went there. It's about all the quirky little things you miss when a relationship is over.
It's a very personal song. I remember writing it and being so proud of it. I thought it had some of the best lyrics I'd ever written.
But when the album came out, 'Wake Me Up' was slated in the reviews. Suddenly I thought, 'Oh, it might not be good', which is a shame.
Looking back, 'Wake Me Up' is quite cheesy – but I like it because I actually did once make my ex-girlfriend a heart necklace out of a pebble I'd found on the beach. I wrote the lyric about that moment. I'm a romantic, I guess.

1up talks a little about God Of War 2 demo
Launching Yourself: Perhaps the coolest part of the demo is when you have to jam on the circle button not to attack an enemy or open a door, but to trigger a wooden cannon by pushing back with your feet and then letting go to shoot Kratos onto the Colossus for a QTE-style minigame. You'd think just launching a boulder would be enough, but apparently not.
Jamming Buttons: At one point, the Colossus grabs you in one of its hands and you have to alternate the L1 and R1 buttons to escape, which is tricky because you want to hit each as fast as possible but you have to keep reminding yourself to alternate

Join us on Tuesday, July 14, as Jack Bair, Executive Vice President and General Counsel for the San Francisco Giants, updates us on the Mission Rock development. The Giants are bringing the development to the voters as an initiative measure for the November 2015 election to get the various height limit changes for this project approved.
The Mission Rock Development is the culmination of eight years of neighborhood outreach and community planning, and outlines specific steps for transforming the barren asphalt lot into new affordable homes, jobs, and waterfront open space – without disrupting any existing San Francisco neighborhoods.
The 28-acre project would create 1,500 new rental homes – 40% of which would be affordable to lower to middle income individuals, 13,500 construction jobs and 8 acres of parks and open space.
To learn more join us on July 14 from noon to 1:00 pm.
There is no fee to attend but seating is limited. Please register here.

Efficiency of histidine rich protein II-based rapid diagnostic tests for monitoring malaria transmission intensities in an endemic area
In recent years there has been a global decrease in the prevalence of malaria due to scaling up of control measures, hence global control efforts now target elimination and eradication of the disease. However, a major problem associated with elimination is asymptomatic reservoir of infection especially in endemic areas. This study aims to determine the efficiency of histidine rich protein II...

Samsung engineer visit
Just to be on the safe side, I called customer care and discussed my issue to which they advised me on some trouble shooting options. After doing what they had advised, I was told it might be a display problem and that they will arrange a service engineer which will cost me INR.300. I said ok to this and also asked the customer care not to send someone who is going to come and just tell me its a display issue which I already know, and they obliged.
So 2 days later the service person comes, looks at the TV and tells me, its a display problem and the display needs to be replaced. He takes his 300 and leaves.
So, what just happened?? Did Samsung just send a man to collect INR 300? I am lost.. A person comes and tells me something I and Samsung know, nothing extra and collects money. Isn't this daylight looting?
An expensive piece of equipment (for a common man like me) brought out of desire, lasts only so long?? It becomes faulty immediately after warranty period?? Is it so programmed?
And spare costs as much as the equipment itself? Is this the so called "Quality" of a branded product?
I am just going nuts thinking about my investment and return... What is Samsung trying to do here?
Can someone guide me on what to do next.. I just don't want to leave it to fate.. more
Changing that particular chip should normally give redressal. I am writing this down because we ourselves have gone through such situations three times......
The Samsung service engineer may have mentioned this at one time or another..... more
this is common problem with most of the brands. Only way is to educate each other and boycott such products so the manufacturer knows that he will also suffer because of this strategy and will act as a deterrent to manufacturers who are indulging is such Practices . more
People must be aware of poor quality of the Samsung..in my opinion any other brand are doing well in same segment with cheepaer rates. more

Kala Pola organized to help Sri Lankan artists
By Quintus Perera – Asian Tribune
Colombo, 12 January, (Asiantribune.com): 'Kala Pola' organized by George Keyt Foundation and sponsored by the John Keells Group for the 15th consecutive year will be held on 20th January at the Viharamahadevi Park with more than 300 artists and sculptors participating. This would be the most sought after annual event by the artists and art lovers in Sri Lanka...
At the Press Briefing to announce the details of the Kala Pola, Sumithra Gunasekera, Director, John Keels Holdings said that the John Keells Social Responsibility Foundation was strongly committed to supporting the arts and culture of the country and said that they were privileged to extend their patronage to Kala Pola, which would be one of the most celebrated events in Sri Lanka's cultural calendar that provided a platform for budding artists spread all over Sri Lanka.
He said that the Kala Pola provided a good opportunity for the artists to display their work and launch their careers. He noted that this cultural event would be a god source of income for these artists and they would then be financially empowered which led to encourage them to pursue their career.
Cedric de Silva, President, George Keyt Foundation, speaking said that the Kala Pola had its humble beginnings and now it has grown to be a national event in the cultural calendar of Sri Lanka. The Kala Pola provided a unique opportunity of showcasing the work of artists and also the event became the meeting place of buyers and sellers of work of art.
Channa Ekanayaka, an artist, representing the Kala Pola Artist Community, in answer to a query by a journalist said that there could arise a problem of maintaining the product quality as the artists prepare their work keeping in mind of selling their work. He said that in addition to the buyers, they were working out a system to get critics and artists of repute for comments and opinions and guidance to bring the Kala Pola to achieve the beauty, quality of work of art.
John Keells Social Responsibility Foundation which now handles all these activities to achieve sustainable social and economic goals has earned the Company the Award of the 'Best corporate Citizen 2007 presented by the Ceylon Chamber of commerce.

text: In a combat thread lots and lots of people wanted block kills over many other combat features so should time be slowed down whenever you block like in ac3 black flag and rogue? I went wtih the vote that it should not be slowed down as it takes away from the realism as assassin's don't have superpowers. If you do not know what I am talking about play any of the block kill games and simply block attacks and you will see that the screen is blurred and time gets slowed down. Block kills would still be not overly difficult as you could still one-hit enemies that attack you.

Become a corporate world yogi!
A true yogi is a genuine seeker, illuminated by deep profound wisdom. Humility, forgiveness, self-awareness, uprightness, and firmness adorn his character and he strives to be the absolute master of himself. With a robust spiritual foundation in place, being connected to his higher self is quick and effortless for a yogi. A yogi deeply understands that spiritual renewal is essential to our well-being. It helps us nurture our essence, build inner strength and trust life. Spirituality allows us to connect to the higher power, feel a sense of purpose, and experience meaning in our lives.
Spirituality can reduce feelings of stress, strengthen your relationships and help you navigate the challenges you face from just being human. Spiritual energy that can be tapped even in the worst adversity is by a commitment to a mission larger than one's self. And the courage and conviction to live by your deepest values is another key muscle that serves spiritual energy.
You can nurture yourself spiritually in many different ways such as through yoga, prayer and meditation, musical or artistic expression, spending time in nature, being in a spiritual com-munity and rendering service for others. Stillness, whether experienced through prayer, meditation, or reflection, is your time to be alone and connect to your inner wisdom or the higher power within you. Whether your source of spiritual renewal is through prayer or meditation or spending time in nature or helping others, make time for it on a regular basis and experience the vitality that you deserve.
The value-centered training and coaching organizations help you to become a corporate yogi by helping you have clarity of your purpose, your deepest passion, your sense of identity and your core values. Their initiatives are focused on supporting you in developing a positive attitude and a growth mindset by raising your awareness and installing empowering beliefs. When you align your goals with your purpose and values, you not only experience deep fulfillment but also increase your ability to have a laser beam focus, adopt effective strategies and rituals to build resilience, build relentless self-control and manage your most resourceful state.
When skill-building is backed up by a robust foundation of these fundamental qualities, competencies can be built quickly and easily over them and there is much more probability to sustain the learning in the realities of daily life.

«It's our role as the FBI to help to ensure that the corruption doesn't spread in this new industry», – FBI Intelligence Analyst David Kirschner.
My God! What made him thinking like this? – Very unfortunately there are cases even in the cannabis community, as FBI Supervisory Special Agent Regino Chavez reports FBI has seen pay-offs as high as $500k in one sitting performed by individuals. This among other statements is mentioned in the FBI's interview released in the latest episode of their audio podcast, announcing their current approach to the marijuana market in the United Stated:
As an increasing number of states change their marijuana legislation, the FBI is seeing a public corruption threat emerge in the expanding cannabis industry. States require licenses to grow and sell the drug—opening the possibility for public officials to become susceptible to bribes in exchange for those licenses.FBI Public Affairs Specialist Mollie Halpern
Find the full Interview here by the link:
What a shame, fellow-stoners! Why do you want to be so naughty that there is FBI out there already? It is a growing market we have, and there is space for everyone yet. Whoever reading this post thinking about some improper fast-track, think it's not a true stoner's path, stop now and invest into cannabis books, they are useful, they are charming, cool and full of fun:

這一系列的創作很特別、沒有拘束,我把它稱作抽象樂。This is going to be a pretty liberating and unusual series of art creation. I called it Mustract for now and I'm not sure how I will translate it into Mandarin later. 抽象樂的概念就是結合音樂和抽象表現,創作的主體就是當我在聽一首歌時,受音樂啟發、感染所出來的作品。這系列我已經完成幾幅作品了,但是我忘了把當時聽的歌記錄下來,這個以後我會注意。
The concept of Mustract is a combination of music and abstract. It is going to be art that I interpret when I listen to a song and I would just feel it and let my pen goes free. A few pieces I've done I forgot to note down the music title but that's okay I will remember to write it down next time.
This series is completely experimental and free. It's meant to be random and just has no rule or whatsoever. The process of creating a Mustract piece is also very relaxing and free and if you see me doing it you might find it funny because I am so relaxed and immersed in the process every time I do this. It is more like a way to just let my body flows with music and be straightforward with the rhythm.
Let's take a look at a few Mustract drawings I made.
I know it is not an ordinary creation but I wanted to do something that is just different and completely free so here you are. Still I hope you enjoy this series.
If you like this article, please like it or share it. Your support keeps me going!
