Slick Sunset magazine mock-up for iPad
The creative potential for advertisers is remarkably clear upon viewing this quick mock-up of what a digital magazine cover could look like on the iPad. Jesse Rosten's idea here is to take the familiar design and branding of Sunset Magazine and add motion.
Born to reshape the internet and looks certain to significantly alter the whole publishing industry, the iPad; doesn't run Flash. If your website uses Flash, it won't play well on the iPad. Turns out, a lot of people want their sites to look pretty on the iPad. So the internet is already starting to look different.
Over the foreseeable future I believe the iPad is likely to shake up the whole spectrum of news and entertainment media delivery systems, both on and off line.

Cymatics: Sound waves manifest light mandalas
Is there a connection between sound, vibrations and physical reality ?
Evan Grant is a creative technologist and founder of Seeper, a collective pushing the envelope of interactive arts. In this video he demonstrates the science and art of cymatics, a process for making sound-waves visible. Useful for analyzing complex sounds (like dolphin calls), it also makes complex and beautiful designs.
The example he shows from Pink Floyd's, The Wall makes me wonder if there may be a screen saver or iTunes visualizer plug-in out there somewhere, already ?

The Bluetooth Electronic Didgeridoo
This is wild news, bluetooth technology has recently been upgraded to meet normal wireless transmission speeds and distances. Kyle Evans timing could not have been better. The video documents a live performance in the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition, wherein the competitors were given five minutes to describe and perform their instrument.
He created the instrument by experimenting with combining the organic sound qualities of a didgeridoo with the advanced signal processing capabilities of modern computer programming and sound synthesis.
More than just a musical instrument and a computer interface, but an entirely new class of instrument. Hey it might seem like playing a wii game except once you start using it your simultaneously Composer and Performer all at once. Heck this must make practice like a rehearsal, every time ?

WallScope: Interactive gigapixel display
This video shows how to navigate a 13.3 gigapixel image of Tromsø, Norway on the 22 megapixel display wall, using a custom, camera-based multi-touch interface and a custom system for high-performance navigation and visualization of high-resolution data sets.
The images here, are by photographer Eirik Helland Urke, gigapix.
Gigapixel images are great, but navigating them on a regular sized display through a slow web browser isn't such a great experience, you may also need be patient when viewing the video.

Yellow Star: Reactive Kinetic Sculpture
The Yellow Star hangs from the ceiling, like a chandelier without lights. Each link has a motor and a motion sensor creating slow jarring movements. This outline of the amoeba-like shape changes as people move through the space. It can see itself move, triggering more movement, cool chain reactions and behavior patterns. It's something between an animal and a toy.
The work intently intrigues and amuses me all at once, but its best without audio,
Perhaps it's also reacting to that as well ?
Meridith Pingree is a Brooklyn-based artist who works in drawing and sculpture. Much of her work is concerned with physically tracking human behavior and traffic patterns using quasi-scientific, homespun, reactive sculptures. She uses sensors to pick up on people's energy and movement throughout a space. Her work exists as amplifications of this subtle energy, creating unconventional, complex portraits of people and spaces

New Twist on Flexible woman
Dam shame about the background noise, but this young lady has got the easy flow elbow in these tricks.
The first trick only requires the ability to hyper-extend your elbow. You need significant flexibility in your shoulders and wrists to achieve the second trick.
Possibly some people can do the 360 turn when the hand starts pointing towards them. Doing it from pointing away from you is freakish, huh ?

Cool old piloted Flying Segway
The vehicle in this video was nicknamed "The Flying Pulpit". It is a small, light-weight Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) system. It is powered by a modified Williams F107 turbofan aircraft engine. It can be be operated by and carry one person and is controlled by leaning in the direction of desired travel and adjusting the power. It can move in any direction, hover, accelerate rapidly, and rotate. It can fly for up to 45 minutes and travel at speeds up to 60 miles per hour (100 km/h).
Its difficult to ascertain if this revolutionary flying platform ever succeeded into industrial production, details of its existence are sketchy and the US defense department documents it as an historical object !
Thus this video appears to have been handi-cam captured from a video monitor in a video exhibition at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio.
I'm left pondering why this cool flying Segway is being neglected ?

Jane McGonigal believes Gaming can save the world.
Game designer Jane McGonigal from the Institute for the Future, reports in this video, that games like World of Warcraft give players the means to save worlds, and incentive to learn the habits of heroes. Here she asks; What if we could harness this gamer power to solve real-world problems ?
Her aim in this video is kind of metaphysical, she's attempting to push our thinking beyond the notion of winning the virtual Epic game, into game changing our approach to solving real world dilemmas, like global warming.

The Amazing Lyrebird of Australia
are most notable for their superb ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment, we see and hear in this short unseen video footage, David Attenborough getting somewhat unsettled during the making of one of his documentaries.
"Lyrebirds are among Australia's best-known native birds. As well as their extraordinary mimicking ability, lyrebirds are notable because of the striking beauty of the male bird's huge tail when it is fanned out in display; and also because of their courtship display. A group of Lyrebirds is called a musket." Source

Oceanic Acidification
I wonder how many of us are aware that 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity ? But it is only in the last couple of years that scientists have begun to realize the impact that global warming and the burning of fossil fuels is having on the biodiversity of our marine life.
The video here gives us a little window of information on the rise of acidification in earth's oceans and the profound affect its having on the food chain around coral reefs.
"for those hesitant to accept the science of climate change, one thing that may be easier to digest is the problem of ocean acidification. It doesn't take rocket science or more than elementary biology to understand that all life needs balance to survive. Drastically tip the ecological scale too much and too fast in any direction, and you're asking for trouble. This is why rising levels of acidification—largely due to the ocean's being forced to absorb more carbon emissions—have many fishermen and scientists fretting:"
"the ocean is becoming more acidic because of carbon-dioxide emissions that are damaging coral reefs, decimating populations of tiny animals at the base of the food chain and eating away at the shells of clams, mussels, and oysters." Source
If we aren't prepared to accept this and begin to act on cutting greenhouse emissions now, then this startling and deeply disturbing news puts at risk the future of our children's well being !

Transformation: concept designs from a sphere
Andre Baran poses a design question, in his transformation video: "How much complexity fits into a sphere ?"
"The theme of this study is the mechanical transformation, a change of the form. The 5 items that have arisen here, fall back in form and process of change on analogies from nature. A sphere, the simplest geometric shape that we know, serves as a starting form."
With the use of Blender (an animation application) Andre unravels the sphere to create visually pleasing, conceptual designer objects, producing a well rounded media art video with a clever use of the music track Cellule by Silence.

A concept boat that flies and glides
or Zep'lin by Renault is an enticing blue-sky concept developed by industrial designer Damien Grossemy who set out to explore a new design language of electric vehicles, during a five month internship at Renault.
He imagines the use of solar panel sails and electric propulsion allowing a yacht like zepplin to fly throughout our future airspaces.
"Featuring a vertical architecture, the concept vehicle by the French designer can change direction quickly and land anywhere without the need of infrastructure. Generating energy from solar panels located on the top, the Zep'lin can tilt toward the sun, thanks to the ingenious rudder system, for optimum energy generation. Moving like a sailboat, the Zep'lin is a new symbol of eco-commutation." The Design Blog
Grossemy has come up with a land anywhere vertical architecture that incorporates a propeller drive, flexible wing and rudder system that would enable the craft to tilt sideways to make the most of the Sun's rays. Beats me how it could possibly work in anything other than blistery conditions ? Perhaps a low altitude aerosol navigatior ?

The Windowfarms Project
In this video Britta Riley introduces us to her home based vertical hydroponic window farming project. She sources her containers from the recycle bin of her apartment complex and purchases the other materials from the local hardware and planting shops.
If it's really productive, this little project provides maybe 1/20th of the food she consumes, however its more so a matter of taking some control of producing what you consume, no matter how small a quantity, it gifts a feeling your doing something for the environment !
Nevertheless this little project has spawned the ability of giving people a means to collaborate on research and development of these vertical hydroponic food-growing curtains through their community website, which in her words has resulted in R&DIY (Research & Develop It Yourself) culture.
If they really intend on growing anything more than a few salad herbs I would hazard a guess that they are going to have to turn their brick-walled apartments into glass curtains !

Female praying mantis eats male after mating
The praying mantis mating season is the summer time. After mating the female praying mantis will eat the male, and in this video begins with the head.
The reason the male survives even though his head is gone is because his ganglion is in his abdomen. The ganglion is like a brain but more so a cluster of neurones that acts kind of like a brain and it connects certain systems of the body together.

Brian Eno makes music to create a more desirable reality
I have been listening to, and appreciating Brian Eno's music since he starred as the feather-crested electronic keyboard genius of Roxy Music forty years ago. Since then he has been hailed as a pioneer, with his revolutionary experiments in ambient music and audio visual art and as featured producer on benchmark albums by David Bowie, Talking Heads, U2 and Coldplay.
The video here is the first part of a documentary directed by Nicola Roberts wherein we learn some snippets of his thinking, such as transcendence which he equates with looking at stones and pebbles on a beach.
I coincidently have pebbles and rocks as a background image on my twitter page with which I too reflect upon, when not thinking or twittering. I feel its worth sharing with you, dear readers of nevertheless, that this is my 1000th post.
Go to More Dark Than Shark for everything about Brian Eno.

Cool new take: on one man acapella band with iPhone
Les Ramens shows us how easy it is to create a simple harmonic vocalized tune on an iphone. It was wonderful for the amount of effort it appeared to take.
He uses Everyday looper, an iPhone application that provides four audio tracks as you record and manipulate as you want.
The application costs $4:99 (iTunes link) and is bound to become a useful tool for many a tune maker and muso. Although I think with a little practice and a dose of inspiration other iphone users may also rinse some creative genius from this clever application.

Improving Drinking Water Quality for Small Rural Communities in MissouriEPA Grant Number: R835173
Title: Improving Drinking Water Quality for Small Rural Communities in Missouri
Investigators: Yang, John , Hua, Bin , Inniss, Enos , Shi, Honglan
Institution: Lincoln University-MO , University of Missouri - Columbia
EPA Project Officer: Page, Angela
Project Period: December 1, 2011 through November 30, 2016
Project Amount: $499,996
RFA: Research and Demonstration of Innovative Drinking Water Treatment Technologies in Small Systems (2011) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Drinking Water , Water
Drinking water quality is of primary health concern for small rural communities. Disinfection by products (DBP), suspected carcinogens, in drinking water such as trihalomethanes (THMs) traditionally generated from chlorination of dissolved organic matter (DOM), mainly measurable as dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen (DOC/DON), are primary concerns in small drinking water treatment systems. These systems use various sources of surface water from rural terrestrial ecosystems and are not designed to target reduction in organic matter. DOC/DON in surface waters has been recently reported as being elevated above natural levels due to increased agriculture and other human activities. Therefore developing innovative low-cost, easy to operate, and energy efficient treatment technologies that reduce the forming potential of DBP in small water treatment systems is critical for safeguarding rural residents from surface water contamination associated with elevated DOC/DON levels.
Missouri is an agricultural state in which the majority of drinking water treatment systems are small systems serving <10,000 residents. A large percent of these drinking water systems use vulnerable surface water (rivers and lakes) as their water source. Most of these rural small drinking water systems have limited resources, prohibiting the use of advanced treatment technologies. This project is to address the potential drinking water issues for selected small rural communities in Missouri with an integrated approach to identify THMs and N-nitrosamines associated with elevated DOC/DON in surface water supplies, develop novel, cost effective water treatment technologies that reduce the health threats, and transfer and implement such technologies (primarily improved activated carbon and enhanced solids contact) for small drinking water treatment plants. This project will provide guidance on best management practices of various surface water supplies for DOC/DON control and help small water treatment systems meet the Stage II requirements of the EPA drinking water regulations.
Expected Results:
This project will combine expertise of three Missouri universities. led by Lincoln University of Missouri - an 1890 Historically black College & University (HBCU), with an integration of field and laboratory studies and technology transfer and staff training for selected small treatment facilities. This project will integrate research, education. and extension to address drinking water problems in rural communities. The multi-institution collaborations and multi-disciplinary integration will strengthen the capacity of participating universities to advance water research and technology, train undergraduate and graduate students, especially minority or underrepresented students, and enhance outreach activities for public water awareness and education.

"Forever" is the seventeenth episode of the fifth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and is the ninety-fifth episode altogether. It was written and directed by series executive producer Marti Noxon. It originally broadcast on April 7, 2001.
Following Joyce's death, Buffy questions her ability to cope now that her mother is dead, while Dawn attempts to bring her mother back to life through the power of magic.
At the Sunnydale Funeral Home, Buffy picks out a casket for her recently deceased mother. Dawn is concerned whether Joyce would be satisfied with the chosen casket, since she's the one who'll be in it forever. Later, the Scooby Gang gather for dinner at the Summers' house to discuss funeral plans. Buffy mentions that ever since her mother's demise, their father has not yet come in contact with them. Dawn feels left out when she discovers that before her mother went into surgery, she and Buffy spoke about funeral choices just in case.
As Willow and Xander leave Buffy's house, they run into Spike, who's trying to deliver a bouquet of flowers. A brief argument takes place when Xander misinterprets this as means of Spike trying to take advantage of the situation to get closer to Buffy, while Spike swears that he was actually trying to pay his respects to Joyce, as she was the only one of Buffy's "lot" that ever treated him with some decency. When it becomes clear that Xander won't be convinced otherwise, an irate Spike throws the bouquet down and storms off while Xander continues to berate him. Afterward, Willow discovers that Spike didn't leave a card with the flowers, and the two, though surprised, recognize the sincerity of the gesture. Later that night, the remaining Summers women sit in their room, trying to cope with and contemplate the situation.
Joyce is buried the next day. After the sorrowful funeral, Dawn leaves with Willow and Tara, finding it hard to return to her own home. Buffy, though, stays at the cemetery, until nighttime comes. Angel arrives at that time and apologizes for not being able to come sooner. Both rest under a tree, while Buffy expresses her regrets that she wasn't more useful and her worries that she doesn't know what to do now she can't focus on the funeral. Angel gently tries to reassure her, telling her that she isn't to blame for what happened and that even though she doesn't feel like it now, she is a strong person and will work out how to continue from this point. After admitting that it's not such a good idea for Angel to stay longer since she might end up taking comfort in him, Buffy kisses him. The kiss quickly got out of hand and they soon break apart. Buffy points out that she was right and that it would be better if he leaves. Angel apologizes for this, though Buffy assures him that she is grateful that he came, and he remains with her for the last few minutes before sunrise.
Meanwhile, Willow and Tara try unsuccessfully to cheer up the dreary Dawn, or at least get her mind off things, but they recoil in shock when Dawn expresses her wish to perform a resurrection spell for her mother. The two witches refuse to help her, explaining that it is wrong to use witchcraft to meddle in the matters of life and death. Post-coitus, Anya and Xander discuss about her ability to create life. When she thinks about it that way, it makes sex a little more meaningful and death a little less sad. In the meantime, Giles lingers sadly in his apartment, listening to a record he once played for Joyce.
Meanwhile, Ben is approached by Jinx outside the hospital. Ben swears that he will not help Glory and he is tired of her games, but accidentally makes a comment that leads Jinx to conclude that the Key is human. Not wanting Glory to learn this fact, Ben stabs the minion with his own knife. However, Jinx survives and manages to make it to Glory and inform her as such, much to Glory's happiness as it narrows her search down greatly.
The next day, Willow and Tara leave for class, but not before Willow magically pulls out a specific book for Dawn. When she inspects it, she finds it contains a section about resurrection spells. Later that day, Dawn goes to The Magic Box to gather some ingredients. She sneaks up into a restricted area to steal a few books and potions. That night, she collects dirt from her mother's grave, but Spike catches her in the act. He knows what Dawn is doing and subsequently offers to help. Though Dawn initially regards it as an attempt to get in good with Buffy, Spike makes it very clear that Buffy is not to know of his involvement and he is helping her because he doesn't like seeing the Summers women "take it so hard on the chin."At the same time, Dawn and Spike go to a mysterious, amiable magic expert named Doc. After giving her the rest of the information needed to complete the spell and informing her that to break the enchantment all she needs to do is rip the picture of Joyce that she is going to use the two leave to collect the final ingredient for the spell - a Ghora's egg. The two then subsequently go on a mission to collect the egg. Confronting the Ghora, Spike distracts it while Dawn successfully steals one of its eggs; in the process, he is badly injured by the Ghora, though he kills it in turn. Later that night, Dawn returns home to perform the spell.
Concurrently, in their dorm room, Willow tells Tara that she wants to start a journal, ever since Joyce's death, after receiving the sudden epiphany that life is short. Tara then realizes that a witchcraft book is missing, and Dawn might have taken it. Realizing what Dawn is about to do, they then call Buffy to alert her.
Buffy finds Dawn, just as she finishes the spell. The two then get into a vicious argument. Dawn believes that Buffy does not even care about their mother's death, as she is just running around as if the whole thing is a chore. Dawn states that Buffy hasn't even cried - and kept pushing Dawn away, inadvertently or not. After harshly accusing Buffy of just cleaning up Joyce's 'mess', Buffy slaps her in a burst of anger but quickly regrets it and starts to break down. As tears roll, and footsteps approach the Summers home, Buffy states her case, and explains that she's just been keeping herself busy so that she does not have to deal with the situation; she runs around and works because if she stops, then Joyce is really gone.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure passes the window, and the girls hear a knock on the door. Buffy hopefully whispers "Mom..." and heads towards the door. Just then, Dawn realizes that some things just aren't meant to be, and a split second before Buffy whips the door open, Dawn rips apart the picture of her mom. At that moment, opening the door to nothing, Buffy breaks down, finally facing the reality of her mother's death. Buffy falls into Dawn's arms, holding her for the first time since Joyce's died and both sisters break down uncontrollably, united in their grief.
- The events of the second Buffy game, Chaos Bleeds, occur sometime after this episode.
- This is one of the only episodes in the series where Buffy does not have an action scene.
- This is Angel's first appearance in Sunnydale since "The Yoko Factor" and the last until "End of Days". Following Buffy's death and subsequent resurrection, the two meet offscreen in a point between Sunnydale and Los Angeles.
- This marked the first time resurrection was done in the series, albeit aborted and failed. This would be featured more heavily for Buffy's own resurrection in "Bargaining, Part One" and Giles' in "What You Want, Not What You Need, Part Two".
- This is the last appearance of Giles' apartment, as The Scoobies do not go there for the rest of season five, and he has moved out by season six.
- Angel's visit to comfort Buffy occurs after his reunion with his Los Angeles associates in the Angel episode "Epiphany". It is unclear whether Wesley or Cordelia attend Joyce's funeral.
- Buffy's father, Hank, is mentioned in this episode. He was last seen in "When She Was Bad".
- In the episode "Band Candy," Giles and Joyce regress to teenagers and are seen hanging out while listening to "Tales of Brave Ulysses" by Cream before they have sex on the hood of a police car. Giles is seen in his apartment after her funeral drinking a glass of scotch and listening to the same song. Buffy refused to hold a wake, so this could be Giles' way of reminiscing about his fondest memory of Joyce and also point to some unacknowledged affection he was harboring for her.
- Spike says that Joyce didn't treat him like a freak and always had a nice "cuppa" for him. We see them bonding in the episodes "Lovers Walk" and "Crush", among others.
- Chicken feet are a staple ingredient in witchcraft. It is mentioned by Willow in "Doppelgängland" and by Anya in "Into the Woods".
- Buffy mentions that before Joyce went into surgery, they had a talk about funeral choices.
- Ben has hurt Jinx once before. He beat him up as a message to Glory in "Checkpoint".
- This episode focuses on the aftermath of Joyce's death. She died in "I Was Made to Love You" while the confirmation and reactions took place in "The Body".
- During her resurrection spell, Dawn calls on Osiris. In "Bargaining, Part One", Willow summons Osiris to resurrect Buffy, and she attempts to save Tara by calling on Osiris again in "Villains".
- This is the third episode to feature Willow misusing magic (to encourage Dawn to investigate resurrection), which will become a running theme throughout Season Six. The first time was her "I will it so" spell in "Something Blue" and the second time was in "Triangle", which featured her blithe use of ingredients from The Magic Box without asking Giles first, followed by her heedless use of spells on several occasions in that episode.
- This is the first episode to show Dawn shoplifting.
- This is the first episode in which Willow's bookcase is on a different wall from its original placement.
- Buffy does not hug Dawn or even look her in the face until the final scene.
Body Count
- Two Ghora's eggs, broken by Dawn (one accidentally, another for Joyce's resurrection)
- Ghora Demon killed with an axe by Spike.
- Joyce (in zombie form), dispelled by Dawn
Behind the Scenes
- Writer and director Marti Noxon says "To me, the idea of wanting to defy death is just an inherent, almost mythological, iconic notion. It's something we can relate to...a universal longing." She says the idea for this episode arose from the idea that Dawn would be in the bargaining stage of mourning, and "if you were in Sunnydale and someone you loved died, you would absolutely call on the forces of darkness to resurrect them."
- According to writer and director Marti Noxon, the inspiration for this episode came from W.W. Jacob's short story "The Monkey's Paw". In interviews at conventions Joss Whedon has referred to this story as an inspiration for his work but also coined its' use as a term for resurrected TV shows and how they never match up to the original.
- Kristine Sutherland did not play Joyce's shadowy figure outside of the window in the final scene.
Pop Culture References
- Ben calls Glory's lumpy minions "Jawa rejects". Jawas are Star Wars characters described as "hooded scavengers of the Tatooine Deserts".
- During Joyce's funeral, the minister says "We commend to almighty God... Ashes to ashes and dust to dust... And give her peace". He is reading from the burial service found in the Book of Common Prayer, which includes the commonly heard phrase "ashes to ashes and dust to dust" (that phrase is based on the The Bible, Genesis 3:19: "...for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return"). This part of the speech is normally read while earth is cast upon the coffin.
Goofs, Bloopers & Continuity Errors
- About 7 1/2 minutes into the episode, as the camera pans by pictures and passes Buffy's room, it is clearly visible that Buffy's room is a set piece without a real ceiling. The studio is visible above the top of her room.
- In the scene where Willow uses magic to bring attention to a book so Dawn would see it, a crew member is seen in the background, also, it is shown clearly that Willow's room is a set.

|Willow - "I'm gonna stop by my mom's first. Been doing that a lot lately."
|Xander - "Yeah, I thought maybe I'd stop by your mom's too... Well, I'm not going to my house. Those people are scary."
|Spike - "I liked the lady! Understand, monkey boy? She was decent. She didn't put on airs. She always had a nice cuppa for me. And she never treated me like a freak!"
|Spike - "Hey, Ghora! Heads up! (the Ghora raises three heads) Oh, guess heads up it is."
|Dawn - "I'm not like you, Buffy. I don't have anybody!"
|Buffy - "What?! Of course you do. You have me!"
|Dawn - "No, I don't. You won't even look at me. It's so obvious you don't want me around."
|Buffy - "That's not true!"
|Dawn - "Yes, it is! Mom died, and it's like you don't even care.
|Buffy - "Of course I care! How can you even think that?"
|Dawn - "How can I not? You haven't even cried. You've just been running around like it's been some big chore or something. Cleaning up after Mom's mess."
|Buffy - "Dawn... I've been... Working. I've been busy, because I have to..."
|Dawn - "No! You've been avoiding me."
|Buffy - "I'm not! I have to do these things, 'cause... 'Cause when I stop, then she's really gone."

Among the many tax "loopholes" on the chopping block in the fiscal cliff negotiations are the 401(k) contribution limits. Liberals like to refer to tax deductions, deferrals, and exemptions as "spending through the tax code," or "tax expenditures." Of course, there are certain tax subsidies and credits that might best be described as spending (e.g., subsidized coverage on the Obamacare exchanges).
But conservatives and libertarians recognize that private property rights are at the foundation of individual liberty, and that any just government must be dedicated to protecting the individual's right to the fruits of his labor. Treating a legitimate tax deduction as government spending presumes that the government has a right to those fruits by default - that we are privileged to retain any such fruits, and the government spends its funds in permitting it. This confiscatory mindset is foreign to our founding and inconsistent with our nature.
The proposed changes to 401(k) contribution limits are a good example of the threats to economic liberty we face as the revenue hawks continue to scour the tax code for backhanded tax increases.
What is a 401(k) Plan?
The traditional 401(k) plan is a method of tax deferral. You contribute with pre-tax dollars, the account grows tax-free, and you pay ordinary income tax on the distributions when you retire. If your employer offers a Roth option, you can contribute with after-tax dollars, and both the gains and distributions will be tax-free. In 2012, employees can elect to contribute up to $17,000, and the total employer/employee combined contribution limit is $50,000.
What's Being Proposed?

The 40's
During the summer of 1942 Phi Theta Tau, a local fraternity was established at the University of Texas in order to petition Phi Kappa Tau for acceptance as a chapter. Phi Theta Tau was chosen as the name of the fraternity by James B. Arant, a brother of Alpha Psi chapter of Phi Kappa Tau at what was then Texas College of Mines at El Paso. The first meeting was held the evening of June 9, 1942, in the Wine Cellar of the "Old Seville", now El Toro Restaurant. James B. Arant, Glen P. Wilson, Joseph V. West, Redford D. Sears, Egon Powell, Frank Babcock, and Norman Weaver were present. James Arant and Norman Weaver were elected acting president and secretary respectively until permanent officers could be elected at a later meeting. By June 17, the local fraternity was accepted as a colony of Phi Kappa Tau. On the 17th, a second meeting was held at "Old Seville", the traditional meeting place.
Several meetings later, on July 15, the first chapter house at 2306 Sabine was obtained. A committee to write a ritual for Phi Theta Tau was appointed and the chapter began to participate in Sing-Song and intramural sports. Rush was run in the fall of 1942 from the 2306 Sabine address where 18 brothers and pledges lived. By November of 1942, the only requirement the colony did not meet in order to receive a charter was a membership of 35. Rau Sponberg was elected president of the first pledge class and Kimy Canarela was elected secretary. In December, social events were started with the Zeta Tau Alphas and the Phi Mus. On February 6, 1943, Phi Theta Tau, as a colony of Phi Kappa Tau, met the requirements for initiation into Phi Kappa Tau. National President Roland Maxwell, National Secretary Richard Young, and an initiation team from Alpha Chi Chapter at Mississippi State and Alpha Psi Chapter at Texas Western College formally initiated 29 members and faculty advisers of the local- fraternity into the brotherhood of The Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity.
In the fall of 1948, William M. Biddison of Houston was named president. Although rushing activities were fairly successful, it was becoming apparent that the physical facilities of the chapter were a detriment to pledging. Although the active members were interested in improving the facilities and there were many ideas as to the solution, no alumni support existed at this time since there were no alumni. In January, 1949, and again in spring, 1949, Charles E. Trimble was elected president. By the summer a small brick colonial home, suitable for fraternity activities and for the housing of 18 men, was located at 2100 Rlo Grande. The move to the new quarters was made in June of 1949 and by the end of the summer the house had been completely redecorated.

QPR have reportedly opened talks to bring Liverpool's Joe Cole to Loftus Road on a loan deal with a view to a permanent switch.
Rangers boss Harry Redknapp managed Cole during his time at West Ham, guiding the former Chelsea man through the ranks and into the first team – and is now looking to reunite with the midfielder as he bids to build a squad capable of fighting relegation.
QPR currently sit rock bottom of the Premier League with just one win all season and Redknapp feels Cole, who has struggled to impress during his time at Liverpool, could help their survival hopes.
The 31-year-old, who was not included in the Reds squad for yesterday's 3-0 defeat of the Hoops, moved to Anfield from Chelsea in 2010 and spent last season on loan at French side Lille.
Any move away from Merseyside is likely to result in a big cut in Cole's £100,000-a-week wages and the player has allegedly requested a £3.6million pay-off to quit the club with 18 months remaining on his contract.
It is an option the Liverpool hierarchy may wish to take in order to get Cole off the club's wage bill and free up funds for boss Brendan Rodgers to utilise in January.
Redknapp, meanwhile, has said he is not looking to sell in the coming transfer window, insisting he needs all hands on deck to keep the Hoops away from the drop zone.
Alongside Cole, the west London club are also thought to be prioritising moves for strikers Loic Remy and Nicolas Anelka as well as pursuing deals for Chelsea midfielder Marko Marin and West Ham's Mohamed Diame.

I just finished this cover design for The Devil Gets His Due by Leslie Fiedler. It comes out on Counterpoint Press at some point in 2008.
I've been noticing lately that, whereas in the past I would naturally design as if I were designing for screen printing, regardless of whether it would be screen printed, now I seem to be breaking out of that a little bit and getting very inspired by texture and transparency. I guess it's still "screen print think", since you can achieve colors shifts with overlapping, but instead of having everything be completely opaque, I'm liking this new subtlety of overlapping semi-transparent objects.

The CEO of Speed Commerce, an e-commerce fulfillment company, says the company is adding new customers, enjoying double-digit percentage sales growth and is on its way to a record holiday season despite losing its biggest customer, renegotiating its debt and facing a possible delisting of its stock.
"We are doing a better job than we ever have before—we're excited about that," president and CEO Richard Willis said Tuesday.
Speed Commerce has signed agreements with all 11 customers whose agreements have come up for renewal this year, Willis says. "Those are very important customers," he says.
Glen Demeraski, CEO of Tabcom LLC, parent company of Dog.com, says in an email that his company renewed its contract with Speed Commerce through 2019 and feels confident that Speed Commerce "will right the ship."
"We are concerned, but we have been working closely with Speed Commerce's management and we are confident in their current plans to move forward," Demeraski says. "There has been no deterioration in our service levels, and we are not anticipating one."
Speed Commerce in April lost its largest customer, which accounted for 19% of its revenue in fiscal 2015, according to the company's June 15 10K filing. That customer was tween apparel brand Justice, says Abe Garver, M&A adviser with BG Strategic.
Willis confirmed the loss of Justice and its sister brand, Dress Barn, both owned by Ascena Retail Group Inc., No. 87 in the Internet Retailer 2015 Top 500 Guide, but he says Speed Commerce has been up front about Ascena's plans to take its e-commerce fulfillment in-house. Speed Commerce's five largest customers accounted for about 42% of its fiscal 2015 revenue, according to the regulatory filing. Its clients include Yankee Candle (No. 391), Avenue, Spencers (No. 743 in the Internet Retailer 2015 Second 500) and Lenox, as well as The Army & Air Force Exchange Service, Navy Exchange Service Command and Veterans Canteen Services that provide online shopping services to members of the military and veterans.
Speed Commerce provides outsourced fulfillment services to five of the e-retailers in the Internet Retailer Top 1,000. It also listed as the provider of order management software for three of the Top 1,000, customer service software for two and the e-commerce platform for one.
Willis said during the Richardson, Texas-based company's fiscal Q1 2016 earnings call on Aug. 10 that "this is the first quarter that we had that was impacted by the loss of several customers." On Tuesday, Willis sought to downplay the challenges facing Speed Commerce, saying that, excluding the loss of Justice and other departing customers, overall revenue grew 56% and the average customer's spending was up 10.7%.
However, Garver says Speed Commerce identified "material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting that, if not remediated, could result in material financial misstatements."
Willis says it was just a matter of moving funds from one category to another, and that Speed Commerce had no misstatements, restatements or change in its income statement.
The customer loss carries other costs. About 45 days after Speed Commerce announced the customer loss, Speed Commerce reached an agreement with a group of four lenders to amend its credit agreement, Garver says. "Speed Commerce had to do that because it didn't have the income to service the debt payments on the $100 million it owed—primarily due to Speed Commerce's acquisition of e-commerce fulfillment provider Fifth Gear on Nov. 24, 2014," Garver says. Speed Commerce, under the new terms of the agreement, must pay a minimum of 12% interest on the debt, Garver says.
Speed Commerce had acquired Fifth Gear, a competing provider of e-commerce services, to expand its client base to include business-to-business customers like All Heart, Scrubs and Beyond, and RSI, the provider of uniforms to Burger King, Willis says. "It's the fastest-growing section of e-commerce; it's growing faster than the direct-to-consumer section. 25% of our sales are now business-to-business." Prior to the acquisition, business-to-business accounted for less than 5% of sales, Willis says.
Willis says the company was not forced to renegotiate the debt; it did so to ensure it met financial goals.
"We gave ourselves a little cushion to make sure we were going to make what we said," Willis says.
As to its stock, Speed Commerce in April said it had received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq exchange notifying it that its common stock was subject to delisting because it didn't meet minimum bid requirements. In its June regulatory filing, Speed Commerce stated it had until Oct. 5 to regain compliance with listing requirements. Those terms required the company to maintain a closing bid price of at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
Willis says the stock issue will be resolved before Oct. 5 because the company plans a reverse stock split that will take the shares back above $1.
Speed Commerce's stock closed Monday at 17 cents. The stock is down 93% for the past year.
A possible sale, first mentioned in April, remains a possibility.

Inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis PknG by non-catalytic rubredoxin domain specific modification: reaction of an electrophilic nitro-fatty acid with the Fe–S center

Description:PknG from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a Ser/Thr protein kinase that regulates key metabolic processes within the bacterial cell as well as signaling pathways from the infected host cell. This multidomain protein has a conserved canonical kinase domain with N- and C-terminal flanking regions of unclear functional roles. The N-terminus harbors a rubredoxin-like domain (Rbx), a bacterial protein module characterized by an iron ion coordinated by four cysteine residues. Disruption of the Rbx-metal binding site by simultaneous mutations of all the key cysteine residues significantly impairs PknG activity. This encouraged us to evaluate the effect of a nitro-fatty acid (9- and 10-nitro-octadeca-9-cis-enoic acid; OA-NO2) on PknG activity. Fatty acid nitroalkenes are electrophilic species produced during inflammation and metabolism that react with nucleophilic residues of target proteins (i.e., Cys and His), modulating protein function and subcellular distribution in a reversible manner. Here, we show that OA-NO2 inhibits kinase activity by covalently adducting PknG remote from the catalytic domain. Mass spectrometry-based analysis established that cysteines located at Rbx are the specific targets of the nitroalkene. Cys-nitroalkylation is a Michael addition reaction typically reverted by thiols. However, the reversible OA-NO2-mediated nitroalkylation of the kinase results in an irreversible inhibition of PknG. Cys adduction by OA-NO2 induced iron release from the Rbx domain, revealing a new strategy for the specific inhibition of PknG. These results affirm the relevance of the Rbx domain as a target for PknG inhibition and support that electrophilic lipid reactions of Rbx-Cys may represent a new drug strategy for specific PknG inhibition.

I have always been an enthusiastic individual, but for the last 4-5 years, I had felt quite low, tired and unhealthy. When I went for a check-up, my physician told me that my colon was having trouble because of parasite accumulation, which needs to be cleansed. Due to my dirty internals, I was dealing with irregular bowel movements, constipation and weight gain, that is what he told me. He gave me two options, one was to go for a surgery kind of thing and other one was to opt for a supplement. Of course I chose PurSlim Green Coffee Cleanse.

Centrifugal is not to be confused with centripetal. Centrifugal means away from the center or outward.
The use of or at least the familiarity with this word centrifugal, combined with the common sensation of an outward lean when experiencing circular motion, often creates or reinforces a common misconception. The common misconception, believed by many, is the notion that objects in circular motion are experiencing an outward force.
A well-meaning student may think, "I can recall vividly the sensation of being thrown outward away from the center of the circle on that roller coaster ride. Therefore, circular motion must be characterized by an outward force."
As we have already covered, the motion of an object in a circle requires that there be an inward net force - the centripetal force. This is an inward-directed acceleration that demands an inward force. Without this inward force, an object would maintain a straight-line motion tangent to the perimeter of the circle. Without this inward or centripetal force, circular motion would be impossible.
Learned physics types would admit that circular motion leaves the moving person with the sensation of being thrown outward from the center of the circle. Before you draw a hasty conclusion that there definitely is an outward force when experiencing circular motion which leaves you feeling like you're being thrown in an outward direction, ask yourself three probing questions:
•Does the sensation of being thrown outward from the center of a circle mean that there was definitely an outward force?
•If there is such an outward force on my body as I make a left-hand turn in an automobile, then what physical object is supplying the outward push or pull?
•And finally, could that sensation be explained in other ways that are more consistent with our growing understanding of Newton's laws?
Group Discussion: Does the outward sensation that comes with moving in a circular motion mean that there must be a bonafide outward force? If yes, what is this outward force? If no, what can be considered the cause of the sensation felt?
If you can answered the first of these questions with "No" then you have a chance in neglecting the idea that there is an outward force acting on a body moving in circular motion. If you quickly concluded that the outward feeling means there is an outward force, then you must admit that your conclusion is contrary to all that has been discussed in previously with regards to Newton's Law of Inertia.
The sensation of being thrown outward is attributable to the idea of inertia, rather than the idea of force. When making that left-hand turn in the car, your tendency to be thrown rightward across the seat (that would be outward or away from the center of the circle) was not due to a force. It was due to your tendency to travel in a straight line while the car seat was making its turn. In fact, you were not thrown rightward at all; you moved in a perfectly straight line.
Finally, your body hits the door on the right side of the car and the door provides an inward push on your body to cause your body to begin moving in circular motion. But until hitting the door, your body's tendency was to follow its inertial path.
Scale Readings and Weight
Technically a scale does not measure your weight. Technically, the scale is measuring the upward (external) force applied by the scale to balance the downward force of gravity acting upon the object (or scale). When an object is in a state of equilibrium or balance (either at rest or in motion at constant speed), these two forces are balanced. If you're standing still on the scales, the upward force of the scale upon the person equals the downward pull of gravity and your weight.
The scale reading (that is a measure of the upward force) equals the weight of yourself as you stand on it.
What happens to the reading when you start moving or you start jumping up and down?
If you stand on the scale and bounce up and down, the reading will change. Bouncing motion = acceleration of your body. During the acceleration periods, the upward force of the scale is changing. Therefore the scale reading is changing.
Is your weight changing? You will continue to weigh as much (or as little) as you always do. In summary, the scale measures the external contact force (provided by the scale) that is being applied to your body.
Practical Examples
Otis L. Evaderz is conducting an elevator experiments.
He stands on a bathroom scale and rides an elevator up and down.
As he is accelerating upward and downward, the scale reading is d_________ than when he is at rest and traveling at c____________ speed. When he is accelerating, the upward and downward forces are not b_________. But when he is at r________ or moving at
c___________ speed, the opposing forces b__________ each other. Knowing that the scale reading is a measure of the upward n__________ force of the scale upon his body, its value could be predicted for various stages of motion.
For example, the value of the net force (Fnet) on Otis's 80-kg body could be predicted if the acceleration is known. The acceleration in this case is 50m/s/s. We can use Newton's second law to determine the varying contact forces on the elevator ride. Look at the diagram's on the board. Otis's who weighs 80-kg.
What is Otis' speed and direction when:
Traveling with constant speed (A),
Accelerating upward (B),
Accelerating downward (C),
Accelerating upward but the cable snaps so is free falling downward (D)

A FORMER army chef has turned his life around with the help of a new training programme.
Shoreham dad Oliver Boarer wanted more time with his family, so he retrained as an electrician with UK Power Networks.
The 41-year-old explained: "The working hours of chefs aren't suited to family life and now I'm married with two children I wanted a job that was more family orientated."
The opportunity came with UK Power Networks, Britain's biggest electricity distribution company, as it prepares for the transition to smart metering.
Mr Boarer, of Greenways Crescent, is one of 17 new recruits taken on by the company, which keeps the lights on across London, the south east and East Anglia.
His new career has just started with six months' formal core training, which will be followed by a year of hands-on experience at Lewes, one of the company's regional bases.
As a smart meter intervention specialist, he will deal with any problems that arise during the changeover period from old meters to new.
Mr Boarer, who served in the armed forces for six years and was a restaurant chef for hotel chains, said: "At school I liked working on circuit boards and electrics so the interest was there.
"UK Power Networks is investing in their staff training. In the future, I'd like to become a fully-qualified jointer working on low and high-voltage cables. I'd like the opportunity to become an engineer in the company, moving up the career ladder as far as I can."
By 2020, the vast majority of UK Power Networks' eight million customers will be equipped with a smart meter by their energy suppliers.
The programme is now in its foundation stage and will be in full swing by the end of next year. The national roll-out is being led by energy suppliers but UK Power Networks will ensure the smart meters can be safely connected to the network.
Paul Morris, UK Power Networks' smart meter intervention planning manager, said: "The challenge is quite significant and we will be kept very busy during the roll-out. These trainees have done very well to get on this programme as it was a rigorous recruitment process with some tough assessments.
"We needed people with some basic electrical or engineering knowledge but also with customer service skills. These apprentices will be going into our customers' homes and we had to get the right people for the job.
"It was great to see their enthusiasm at their induction day. They met people who have worked for the company for years – and for some of them, too, this could be a job for life, supporting the development of more intelligent electricity networks."

LONDON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - German carmaker BMW said it will move the annual maintenance shutdown period for its British Mini plant to just after Britain is due to leave the European Union in April, in case there is no Brexit deal.
"As a responsible organisation, we have scheduled next year's annual maintenance period at MINI Plant Oxford to start on 1 April, when the UK exits the EU, to minimise the risk of any possible short-term parts-supply disruption in the event of a no-deal Brexit," BMW said in a statement on Tuesday.
"While we believe this worst case scenario is an unlikely outcome, we have to plan for it."
Britain is due to the leave the EU on March 29. (Reporting by Costas Pitas; editing by Stephen Addison)

The Camden and Islington Annual Public Health Report for 2015 focuses on four key areas: i) giving every child the best start in life, ii) addressing economic conditions, iii) improving mental health in the community, and iv) addressing physical and mental health conditions more holistically to improve life expectancy and quality of life.

From April to September 2014, Islington Safeguarding Adults received 585 alerts, an increase of 38% on the same period in the previous year. This increase will in part be the result of efforts by Islington Safeguarding Adults team to raise awareness of the abuse and the different types of abuse and encourage reporting. The substantive programme of training to raise awareness of abuse has included delivery to health, social care and housing staff, voluntary sector groups (including Healthwatch) and members of the public.
In the same period from April to September 2014, the three most common types of abuse were financial (28%), physical (26%) and neglect (23%). Nearly half of the alerts proceeded to investigation (this is a similar proportion to the national average) with most (78%) taking place in a community setting (many in the home) with only small numbers alleged to have taken place in a residential/nursing setting (14%) and 5% in a hospital setting.
Healthwatch Islington decided to carry out some research with a small number of voluntary organisations to identify how the process of raising an alert, and the subsequent contact from the Access Team, works in practice.
The decision to look at the process arose because concerns were raised with Healthwatch about the ease of raising an alert and obtaining information about the response.

Healthwatch Islington was approached by Islington Clinical Commissioning Group to carry out some work on local complaints processes. This included mapping the existing ways in which patients can complain. We were also asked to gather the views and experiences of local people who had made or tried to make a complaint to find out what worked well about local processes and what could be improved.
Our right to complain and what we can expect:
The NHS Constitution sets out a series of rights and pledges in relation to our NHS treatment and care. It states that the NHS 'encourages and welcomes feedback from families, carers, staff and the public. We use this to improve the care we provide and build on our successes'. The constitution then sets out some basic rights which include the right to an acknowledgement within three working days and to have complaints 'properly investigated', the right to discuss how the complaint will be handled and how long this is likely to take and the right to be kept informed of progress and outcomes, with explanations if requested.
In addition, the constitution sets out a pledge to ensure that raising a complaint does not put us at a disadvantage and that responses to complaints be delivered sensitively and with an apology as well as ensuring that lessons will be learned from complaints in order to improve services. We have used these rights to inform our survey.
As the report was commissioned by Islington Clinical Commissioning Group, the recommendations set out are directed at them. However, during the course of the work Healthwatch Islington also saw areas that providers could improve. We have compiled a list of suggestions for providers on page 23 of this report, which Islington Clinical Commissioning Group and Healthwatch Islington will aim to take forward.

Islington Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) commissioned Healthwatch Islington to carry out interviews with users who have experienced integrated care through the Multi-Disciplinary Team pilots. These pilots are aimed at more intensive users of services. The model seeks to bring together professionals from primary care, community services and social care to deliver person centred care. This ensures that patients don't fall into the gaps between services, and avoids the duplication that comes when those responsible for different areas of a person's care are not working together.
Generally patients (and relatives/ carers) had a lot of praise for the care delivered and understand the pressures that staff are working under. At this stage it is difficult from these findings to draw conclusions about whether additional community matron input has improved the overall experience.

This consultation exercise from Healthwatch Islington has provides an in-depth insight into the mental health needs of young adults facing multiple vulnerabilities and suggests there is likely to be an increase in the number of young adults in Islington facing mental health problems now and in the future.
It provides a body of evidence from young adults experiencing poor mental health and professionals working with individuals with mental health needs that current services are having a limited impact on engaging with and sustaining positive relationships with those who are vulnerable.
Within this report vulnerable respondents were predominantly from: Asian and African backgrounds, those struggling to secure accommodation, the homeless, socially isolated, individuals from LBGT backgrounds and those who are living in poverty. This respondent profile was not based on a sample but rather, reflected individuals who were prepared to talk to us from the referring organisations. This may have implications for the demographic of young adults accessing adult mental health services.
However for those who did receive help, most reported positive experiences and a sense that they were more able to cope and manage a variety of practical, social and psychological problems. We would also like to mention that young people (under 18) were not a target group however interviews with young adults and professionals did suggest that young adults who had experience of using CAMHS services did not have a successful transition to adult mental health services.

"Having the chance to collaborate and interact with such amazing educators, I was tremendously helped, advised and guided."
My greatest influence and support team, who motivated me to make one step forward to improve my career, is my family. The people that I have had a lifelong relationship with encouraged me to pursue my graduate degree to build up my self-confidence, and help me believe I am proficient enough to achieve my goals in life.
At first, pursuing my studies at Southern New Hampshire University was a dream I had never thought would turn out to become true. Now that I am almost done with my master's degree program, I have realized that all my efforts - despite the obstacles I had to confront - all my sacrifices, hard work and dedication to my studies, as a full-time student and a professional accountant, have been worth it. The result was emotionally and mentally precious. It is still hard for me to believe I have indeed made my way through this challenge!
My personal perspective is that knowledge is the key with which to open the door to your future success, as long as you have the persistence, patience and willingness needed to succeed. It broadens and enriches your philosophical aspects of what it means to be a professional businessman - someone who substantially, powerfully and seriously takes into consideration the company's status, infrastructure, innovation, social appeal, marketplace competitors and annual profit.
I strongly believe that, in this globalized and technologically advanced society, dynamic companies seek active and responsible team members, who would not only upgrade their personal profile, but also improve the company's social and worldwide prestige. And the success would therefore be mutual.
I feel very grateful, honored and lucky that my knowledge acquisition has been accomplished at Southern New Hampshire University. Having the chance to collaborate and interact with such amazing educators, I was tremendously helped, advised and guided.

Ted Mikulski is a Connecticut-based artist who gives tweets a physical form in his Tweets in Real Life. Tweets in Real Life is filled with random tweets -- that were probably considered nothing special by their authors at their time of creation -- becoming works of art, thanks to some clever placement.
They say that the world is your canvas. That couldn't be truer in Tweets in Real Life. What I really like about this project is that Mikulski didn't spend a lot of time drawing or painting clever images to match these tweets. Instead he just went outside and taped the tweets to scenes, creating a sensible and occasionally ironic scene. If you're looking to see social media art at its finest, check out Ted Mikulski's latest work.

Our adventure started when we pulled up to the American River Inn, our home for the night.
I can highly recommend the Inn for a quiet getaway destination.
We met up with the Needle Nellies for dinner at the newly renovated Georgetown Hotel.
We had a great dinner out in the patio area. The weather couldn't have been any nicer.
I was just a babe in Toyland looking at their creativity.
This quilter didn't want another Christmas quilt, but she did want to make a baby quilt with the blocks. Too cute!
Here is just a sampling of quilts made by the talented Nellies.
As always, the Needle Nellies rolled out the red carpet and treated us like royalty. Thank you girls for being so special and making our trip to Georgetown so memorable. Your efforts on behalf of the Volunteer Fire Department, make your community safer. You are all a blessing to your quaint, little town.

here at Sindhu Fishland restaurant.
the instructors were nice , professional and most importantly ,
speaks proper , understandable english.
not really extreme , but quite good for leisure / beginner rafting.
there are two choices for rafting ,
a short course like this or longer that may take up to 4 hours.
( even short course like this took 1.5 hours , and it was very tiring )
and the front end is totally submerged into the water
