The introductory phase can last between four to six months. Its duration is intended to make a lasting impression and give new employees an enduring sense of worth as well as a favorable opinion of the institute. "[We want to give] them a sense of purpose and how their day-to-day sync's up with the institutional mission," Fong explains.
Bond inside and outside of work. To build friendly cohesion within the ranks, your company should have an established social gathering for the newest member of your team.
At WRI, the "buddy assignment" is an institutional mainstay. The program consists of matching new hires with co-workers outside their department based upon a common interest like playing the same instrument or having lived in or being from the same country. "It's a little bit of matchmaking that I do," Fong says of the tradition.
But along with the institutionalized tradition should also come organic ones. If co-workers are really taking a liking to their new colleague, social invitations should extend beyond the preliminary lunch or company program.
The grassroots social activities that have sprang up at WRI over the years, including weekly lunch-ins for Portuguese speakers, an ultimate Frisbee team, and happy hours, have positively linked new hires with their colleagues and the organization they work for. "If you connect with the right couple of people, you connect with everything," Fong says.

Rand Paul: McCain doesn't always respect me
Disparagement from members of his own party has Sen. Rand Paul recalling the golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.
Responding to Sen. John McCain's condemnation of his thirteen hour filibuster, Paul said Friday that while "I treat Sen. McCain with respect, I don't know if I always get the same in return."
Paul was speaking on The Mike Huckabee radio show. Earlier in the day, McCain told The Huffington Post that Paul, along with Sen. Ted Cruz -- who assisted in Wednesday's filibuster -- was a "wacko bird" that could taint American's impressions of the GOP.
"I think it can be harmful if there is a belief among the American people that those people are reflective of the views of the majority of Republicans. They're not," he told the website.
That was after McCain took to the floor of the Senate to publically chastise Paul for the marathon speaking session, which held up the confirmation of John Brennan to become CIA director. Paul and his allies were seeking answers on the Obama's administration's use of unmanned drones.
"All I can say is that I don't think that what happened yesterday is helpful to the American people," the Arizona Republican said on the Senate floor. McCain, along with fellow Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, were skeptical of Paul's claim that the Obama administration was dodging the question of whether or not Americans could be killed by drones within the United States.
The reprimands from McCain drew a perplexed reaction from Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and 2012 GOP presidential candidate.
"I don't know what's happened to John McCain but I find it very sad," Gingrich said on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer."
"I'm really disappointed in John McCain, and I'm very saddened by it," Gingrich continued. "McCain in his younger years was a great maverick. He took on his party all the time."
Paul shrugged the rebukes off Friday, saying his critics were "on the wrong side of history."
While he praised McCain for his heroism during the Vietnam War, Paul was adamant that it didn't make his colleague correct.
"He deserves respect for spending years and years in prison in the Vietnam War. But I would say that it doesn't mean that his ideas always trump everybody else's ideas," he said.

I have been on Lexapro for over 7 years, tried unsuccessfully to wean off several times. My doctor emphatically states that I will be on it for the rest of my life.... I am determined as heck to prove him wrong. Right now, I have weaned myself from 20 mg to only 2.5, and I am almost ready to go off altogether.
Is there anyone else in my shoes? Are you taking meds, weaning off, or have successfully remained med free for any period of time? I would love to hear your story.
Leese, antidepressants must be stopped very very gradually. The most gradually you can, you are never gradual enough!! It' normal! Believe me, if you stop them gradually, you'll stop them in not a too long time, and you won't feel any withdrawal symtoms anymore, then!! It doesn't depend on how many years someone has taken them.
I cannot say anything about depression symptoms, of course, they are very very personal.
I was prescribed Xanax for about 4 years. Slowly weaned myself off and now I only take them when flying or if I have a terrible panic attack. Ive found that St. Johns Wort works well to ease the anxiety, but I also practice meditation and breathing techniques + lots of exercise. Still working on myself, its really tough sometimes, especially during the winter.
Just tried St John's wort for the first time today. OMG this stuff rocks! Feel good again for like the first time in several months.
I've been taking 20 mg of Cipralex a day for 5+ years. I'm just not starting to think about weaning off of it (but I'm pretty scared because my life while depressed was pretty terrible). I snapped out of my depression when I switched to a whole food, macrobiotic diet and since becoming primarily raw and vegan I seem to be getting happier by the day.
I am going to be speaking to my doctor about beginning the weaning off process next month so I figured that connecting in this group would probably be really good for me to do now.

Avalon Organics Thickening Shampoo Biotin B Complex Therapy -- 14 fl oz
The new formula is terrible!!!
I used to love this shampoo. They reformulated it and now I have to use a TON to get any suds at all, and even with that my hair is left feeling oily and gross afterward. Guess I'll have to find a new favorite! =(
December 1, 2013
I was looking forward to using an organic, thickening shampoo, but at least for my hair it doesn't thicken at all (and I've used others that worked well). Oh well - not everything works for everyone . . .

The Dec. 30 Dispatch editorial "The Niehaus way" is a perfect example of how the interests of the people can be in direct sinful opposition to the laws of God.
Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus, R-New Richmond, may have viewed the "heartbeat bill" as an extreme anti-abortion measure that would have divided the public. But sometimes a moral stand has to be taken, regardless of who likes it or not. The truth is that abortion should not be allowed at all, especially in a nation that claims it is a Christian one.
If something has a heartbeat, it is living. That has been our standard for so long. So why do we insist on allowing doctors to pull babies apart from the wombs of would-be mothers, even if the babies have heartbeats? This is barbaric, no matter what the law says, no matter what Roe vs. Wade says.
At one point in American history, slavery was legal. That didn't make it any less heinous or barbaric. And the Civil War divided the nation. But a wrong cannot be continued just because of sizable opposition or the threat of social disharmony.
I understand that compromise is a huge part of politics. But moral principles, especially those dictated by God, should never be compromised. Does anyone in his right mind really believe that had abortion existed when Jesus walked the earth 2000 years ago, he would have condoned it?
Despite The Dispatch's praise of Niehaus, his action against the "heartbeat bill" has earned him not only the wrath of the most-conservative elements of the Republican Party, but also the wrath of God. And I don't believe that America will ever again regain its former status as long as abortion exists.

Lessons from memory
Can solar energy be South Korea's next semiconductor?
By Kim Da-ye
No good news has been heard from the suppliers' side of the solar power industry for too long.
Demands from the debt-crisis-struck Europe, the largest market for photovoltaics, have shrunk while a glut of aggressively priced solar cells by Chinese companies left manufacturers in developed countries struggling. While many Korean firms including Samsung SDI and Hyundai Heavy Industries have cut their planned investment into solar power due to the persisting grim outlook, one conglomerate surprised the industry with a decision against the trend.
Woongjin Group led by Yoon Seok-keum, a former Britannia salesman who built up a conglomerate from scratch through bold decisions, announced in February that it would sell off the cash cow water purifier business Woongjin Coway in order to focus more on the solar business carried out by Woongjin Energy and Woongjin Polysilicon.
The story of a deadly cost-cutting competition that force most players to give up the business and audacious decision makers who would change the future of their firms forever may be familiar to Koreans.
The semiconductor industry, specifically the memory chips sector which Korean firms lead, has trodden a similar path. The number of survivors kept shrinking after a series of severe downturns in memory chip prices, and those who invested more in difficult times could go on.
If that history repeats itself, what can the photovoltaics businesses learn from the history of the semiconductor industry?
Learning from history
In October 2010, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy announced that it would foster solar energy as Korea's second semiconductor industry, setting a goal to achieve a 15 percent share in the global market by 2015.
Photovoltaics, the direct conversion of light into electricity, isn't new to semiconductor component manufacturers.
Solar cells are made of the same kinds of semiconductor materials used in the microelectric industry including polysilicon of thin wafers, according to National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the U.S. (NASA).
Apart from the physical resemblance, analysts point out to similarities between the restructuring in the dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) sector and that in the solar cell industry.
Korea first entered the semiconductor industry when Samsung Semiconductor Communication & Telecommunications, now Samsung Electronics, succeeded in making a pilot 64KD RAM, in six months after starting the development in May, 1983. Earlier in March, Lee Byung-chull, the founder of Samsung Group, announced why Samsung had to enter the semiconductor business.
Distrust against the decision was high. Japan's Mitsubishi Economic Research Institute even retorted Lee's announcement with five reasons why Samsung could not succeed in the semiconductor industry.
One reason said that the semiconductor requires the domestic consumption base, which Korea with the GNP of $600 back then lacked.
In December 1983, Samsung declared that it succeeded in developing a 64KD RAM, a fingernail size chip that could store some 8000 characters.
Since then, the highly cyclical DRAM sector went through a series of restructuring, but Samsung survived.
Over 25 companies existed in 1995, but the number shrank to 13 in 2000. After 2008, only five DRAM manufacturers with their own brands remained as of December last year.
Yang Seong-jin, a research fellow of LG Economic Research Institute (LGERI), said in his December 2011 report that Korean firms took the leadership in the industry by making large-scale investments in advance, expanding assembly lines and innovating production technology including enlarging the size of wafers.
"The crystalline silicon solar cell sector is expected to be restructured in similar ways as those for thin film transistor liquid crystal displays and DRAMS were," Yang said.
"Companies that could strengthen its position through overcoming the market hit by oversupply and making aggressive investment in advance would survive. After all, large conglomerates with financial firepower would eventually enjoy oligopoly and they would earn high profits during the boom."
Hwang Yoo-sik, an analyst of Meritz Securities, shares a similar view. As the price of DRAMs dropped for two years from 2007, only four out of 10 manufacturers remained competitive by cutting the costs and maintaining healthy financial structure, he wrote in his February report.
Since his report came out, Japan's Elpida Memory filed bankruptcy on Feb. 27. There are now only three survivors ― Samsung Electronics, Hynix Semiconductor and Micron.
In order to pick healthy firms out of struggling ones, Hwang compared their earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ― measures for a business's profitability unaffected by other financing and accounting factors.
He said that Samsung Electronics and Micron kept healthy financial structures while the then No.3 Qimonda filed for bankruptcy after its EBITDA margin slipped to minus 27 percent. Those with stable financial structure were rewarded in 2009 when DRAMs' prices soared. The analyst said that Hynix Semiconductor's stock price jumped 246 percent within 2009 and Micron's 300 percent.
Too intense competition in the solar energy industry is also leading to some firms give up their businesses.
The analyst projected that at the price of polysilicon at $30 per kilogram, many firms would turn to loss and wouldn't be able to expand their businesses.
Those that keep investing in 2012 and improve quality would survive, and he picked OCI, the world's fourth largest polysilicon maker, as the potential winner.
Hwang said that cost cutting for DRAMs can be achieved through reducing their sizes although it requires heavy initial investments. In case of polysilicon, increasing the output leads to smaller costs.
Yang of LGERI adds that aggressive investment into facilities and development of technology could be burdensome amid uncertainties. He advised that mergers and acquisitions could be decent alternatives to internal expansions.
"Keep an eye on companies that give up solar businesses. By acquiring these companies or buying technologies from them, a company may reach its goal easier than it can through organic growth based on its own capacity."
Possibilities for Korean firms
There are many kinds of semiconductor products including DRAM, CPU and NAND Flash memory whose markets behave differently from each other.
While solar energy businesses tend to be categorized into one industry, their markets clearly divide according to production stages.
The base material used in solar energy generation is polycrystalline silicon, often called just polysilicon, which is extracted from sand.
The material that is also used for semiconductor products is shaped into a long, solid bar called an ingot, which gets thinly sliced into wafers.
Wafers are then processed to solar cells, which converts light into electricity. Modules are panels of many solar cells. The solar energy generating system is the end product consisting of modules.
Products on the lower part of the value chain tend to be more lucrative than modules and solar energy generation systems, the labor-intensive sectors of the industry that have little entry barriers. The market for modules is nearly dominated by Chinese firms.
Polysilicon, ingot and wafers require advanced technology in chemicals while, in case of solar cells, companies heavily invest into research and development to boost their efficiency. Entry barriers are high in those three sectors with polysilicon at the bottom of the value chain being most profitable.
Korean firms are yet to see their competitiveness in manufacturing solar cells. German firms produce highly efficient cells thanks to large investment while Chinese counterparts cut the prices and improved in technology at the same time under the government's initiative to foster the industry.
Some believe that Korean firms should focus on "thin-film" solar cells instead of polysilicon-based cells.
Thin-film solar cells ― thin metal sheets treated with chemicals ― are cheaper to make, so are perceived to be the decent alternative to aggressively priced Chinese crystalline silicon cells.
This type accounts for some 20 percent of the solar cell market, and First Solar, a U.S. firm, has been nearly a dominating figure. Interest in thin-film solar cell technology peaked when Berkshire Hathaway's utility arm MidAmerican Energy Holdings bought last December First Solar's Topaz Solar Farm power plant in California. It was Warren Buffet's first investment into solar energy.
In fact, several Korean firms entered the market for thin film cells because that for crystalline silicon cells is too heavily saturated by the Chinese.
Hyundai Heavy Industries set up last April a joint venture with France's Saint Gobain to produce thin-film solar cells while Samsung SDI has already achieved an industry-leading efficiency.
Some industry insiders, however, are skeptical of thin film cells' future. They aren't as efficient as polysilicon-based counterparts while the use of toxic chemicals including cadmium makes contrast to the environment-friendly image of solar cells. After all, even if the portion of thin-film technology out of the total grows, it would always remain minor to crystalline silicon solar cells, they said.
A Beijing-based analyst, who did not want his name published due to impacts on the market, said that with a limited domestic market, Korean businesses wouldn't be able to compete against Chinese companies in the solar cell sector, but have strengths in polysilicon because of the economies of scale.
OCI is currently the world's fourth largest polysilicon maker in terms of capacity in 2011.
"In the case of polysilicon, all Chinese firms except one Chinese company, GCL Poli, have stopped operating," the analyst said.
Amid the price of polysilicon continuing to plunge, OCI has pushed forward its plan to build the fourth polysilicon factories with the capacity of 20,000 tons per year, putting in 1.6 trillion won. The construction of the plant is expected to be completed in October this year and help OCI to climb up the global polysilicon maker rankings.
The largest concern on Korean businesses' side is the lack of the domestic demand for solar energy. In addition to just an acceptable amount of sunshine and little land to have solar panels installed, electricity is cheaper in Korea than any other major solar energy adopters including California and European countries, leaving local consumers with little incentive to turn to the renewable energy source.
An official from Woongjin Polysilicon, however, finds strengths of Korean firms in financial power of conglomerates.
"In the U.S. and Europe, demands by consumers drive the solar energy industry. In China, the government leads the initiative," the official said.
"In Korea, conglomerates can back up their solar businesses with its network of affiliates and funding power, replacing roles of the government and consumers to a certain extent."
In fact, Samsung Electronics' funding power has been pointed as one of major factors that helped its semiconductor business ― highly sensitive to the economic cycles ― weather through bad times.
While it is widely accepted across the cyclical industries that investment made in difficult times is likely to return a good profit in the future, Korean companies except OCI and Woongjin have been reluctant.
KCC decided in February to suspend the polysilicon business while LG Chem postponed last October a construction of a polysilicon plant. SK Chemicals cancelled the pilot program to produce polysilicon with a Taiwanese firm.
An industry insider said that it should be noticed none of Korean firms have actually quit their solar energy businesses but just shelved their investment plans or suspended operations.
That indicates that the domestic firms want to "wait and see" until they have enough time to expand right before the recovery of the industry, he said.
"We expect the solar energy industry to pick up between 2014 and 2015. Considering it takes two years to add new facilities, now may be too early. We are waiting for the right timing," he said.
After all, the future of solar energy is bright. Helped by decrease in prices, the total installed capacity of photovoltaic systems would soar from 9.5 gigawatts (GW) in 2010 to more than 15 GW in 2015, Pike Research, a cleantech market intelligence firm, said in a report last October.
During that period, the global solar energy market would increase from $66 billion to over $154 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate of 18 percent.

태양광 산업 과연 제2의 반도체산업 될 수 있을까?
지난 1년간 태양광 산업은 우울한 뉴스로만 가득했다. 정부 정책아래 중국기업들은 대량의 태양광제품들을 싼 가격에 공급하며, 가장 큰 시장인 유럽은 경제위기로 태양광설치에 대한 정부지원이 줄어들며 태양광제품의 가격은 곤두박칠쳤다. 태양광산업에 뛰어든 한국기업들도 계획했던 투자를 미루거나 취소했다.
이 와중에 웅진그룹은 정수기사업을 팔고 태양광사업에 더 집중하겠다고 발표하며 관심을 끌었다. 브리태니커 세일즈맨으로 시작해 오늘날의 웅진그룹을 이끈 윤석금 회장의 결정이기에 태양광산업이 정말 한국 제2의 반도체산업이 될 수 있을지 관심이 쏠리고 있다.
태양광산업은 여러모로 반도체산업과 비슷하다. 오늘날 대부분의 태양전지는 반도체에 쓰이는 폴리실리콘으로 만들어진 웨이퍼로 만들어 질 뿐만 아니라, 반도체산업이 걸어온 길은 태양광산업에 많은 점을 시사하고 있다.
태양광산업도 현재 치킨게임을 거쳐 소수의 승자만 남고, 자금력이 강한 대기업이 승자가 될 것이라는 것이 지배적인 의견이다.
하지만 반도체산업이 여러 분야로 나뉘듯이, 태양광산업도 밸류체인에 따라 5개 분야로 나뉜다. 원료인 폴리실리콘은 밸류체인의 가장 하단에 위치하고, 그 위로 잉곳/웨이퍼, 태양전지, 모듈 (여러 태양전지를 엮어 만든 패널) 그리고 시스템이다. 태양전지와 모듈은 이미 중국회사들이 장악하고 있기 때문에 한국회사들은 승산이 없다고 보는 이들이 많다.
폴리실리콘을 사용하지 않고 얇은 금속에 화학처리를 한 방막형태양전지는 단가가 낮아, 중국의 값싼 태양전지에 대응책으로 떠오르고 있지만 여전히 폴리실리콘으로 만드는 결정형 태양전지에 비해 효율성이 낮아 시장이 성장하는데는 한계가 있다.
애널리스트들은 한국기업들이 영업이익률이 가장 높으면서도 진입장벽이 높은 폴리실리콘, 잉곳/웨이퍼에 집중하는 것을 미래 나아갈 길로 보고 있다.

Hi all,
The Mac world has been swimming in third-party footage ingest, conform and handling tools. Anybody planning anything similar for PC/Adobe?
I'm curious about a full edit/grading workflow.
Hi all,
The Mac world has been swimming in third-party footage ingest, conform and handling tools. Anybody planning anything similar for PC/Adobe?
I'm curious about a full edit/grading workflow.
Michael, you might want to consider a CineForm Prospect 4K workflow. Workflow is fully online at up to 4K even playing 4K material through transitions and adding color effects. Alternatively you can start off with CineForm Express files at 1K (created faster than RT from R3D source) with file replacement of full-res CineForm files later.
Visual quality is enhanced because of CineForm's Active Metadata which reduces the need to render. HD-SDI is supported for monitoring, even from 4K timelines.
CineForm files are fully supported by Speedgrade XR for color finishing.
CineForm has not yet released support for CS4 - that will occur in late January. CS3 is fully supported.
Various Tech Notes are present on the CineForm website describing a Red One workflow: http://www.cineform.com/products/Tec....htm#RedCamera
You can probably do it with edls through monkey extract...
Here is the basic online post workflow that we are planning:
1. Load footage in fiber connected storage array.
2. Edit in Premiere with 2K project using 4K & 2K source.
3. Lock edit.
4. Export OMF for sound.
5. Import Premiere project into After Effects.
6. Composite, add effects and finish in After Effects.
7. Export EDL with rendered effect shots.
8. Import into Speedgrade XR and color grade.
9. Export to any format and color space.
David - What is the best way to get a project from After Effects to Speedgrade using Cineform?
I am not going to claim it is the "best" way, but this is the only way that has worked for us at this point. We export a flattened AVI from PPro or AE, and import that into SpeedGrade. Speedgrade can detect the scene change cut points, or you can also export an EDL from Premiere to send that information separately, but it is still applied to the flattened AVI. The biggest problem with this method relates to handling fades and multilayer effects, which we manually separate or flatten on shorter projects, to manually rebuild from the corrected source, post color. This may not be as feasible to do manually on longer projects.
The other downside is that you are guarenteed to be out of RAW space by the time you export a final AVI, but we usually convert Red to CF444 at HD right off the bat anyway. If we were doing a native 4K project instead of HD, that would be a whole different ball game though.
Gunleik, thanks. Monkey Extract is Mac only. We're talking Windows here.
David, thanks. But Cineform sort of defies the whole notion of native R3D editing in Adobe. Oh, and Prospect 4K costs 50% more than the entire CS4 Production Premium Suite.
Edgar, looks good but doesn't take advantage of the value of REDCine one-light grading to achieve best exposure and R3D-specific noise reduction. It would be good to conform the Premiere EDL back to a REDCine XML, perform one-light in REDCine for the render out to Speedgrade.
As I asked in my original post, is there no one planning some little tools for the PC like Monkey Extract, etc?
McCarthyTech - Thanks for the information. That all makes sense.
Michael - I don't think the tools (or SDK) are quite there yet, but I believe that you will be able to control the metadeta (exposure for one-light, etc.) in the codec (native Red or Cineform). Therefore you would not need to import into RedCine at all. I know this does not help if you need a working solution right now.
David - Care to jump in here on your perceived advantages over the native Adobe CS4 workflow?
Generally the advantages to CineForm is it has a mature and complete workflow, for all your camera sources. The argument for "native" as being better is old and flawed as those who used it to market HDV, and this possible has only been the domain of the prosumer, high-end market typical bump out of native into something more robust for post, commonly DPX for film, or DNxHD or ProRES for broadcast (CineForm fits both.) CineForm fits between the DPX world and the DNxHD, ProRES world, in that is other higher quality through RAW and 4:4:4 workflows, and has been used in film finishing for many years.
Some advantages:
* Speed, 4-6X faster on decodes that the equilavent R3D. Need to do an HDCAM output for a festival, play at HD res from 4K source live off the timeline, include real-time 3D LUTs, and post filters, transitions and titles.
* Fast efficient encoding, you can make 4K intermediates, or whatever resolution you need, expanding your post world beyond Adobe's Dynamic Link.
* Access to a huge range of existing AVI or MOV tools any time.
* Codec intergrated Active Metadata, support for white balance, color matrix, curves and 3D LUT as real-time post RAW development option (work with all CineForm media, including 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 sources.)
* Greatly eases mix multiple camera sources.
* ... and you can still use the native R3D import with Prospect 4K (when CS4 version is released), best of both worlds.
Just a few ideas that popup into my head, there many more.
P.S. Small correction, Prospect 4K actually costs less than the CS4 Production Premium Suite, and you don't even need CS4, as it happily runs on CS3 (or CS2 if needed.)
Hi David,
excuse me for my ignorance, but would Cineform would allow me to edit 4K or 2K true 4:4:4 in FCP ?
Yes Antoine, both 2K and 4K 4:4:4 are supported. The only caveat to "Yes" is that FCP only supports up to 4000-wide. So during conversion CineForm SW will optionally crop the 4K wide image to 4000 for FCP.
The CineForm workflow overview is located here for both Windows and Mac: http://www.cineform.com/products/Tec...neWorkflow.htm. You can then dive deeper with other Red workflow Tech Notes after you look at the overview. We have Tech Notes covering Active Metadata as well as FCP conversion/editing.

Making a referral for support for a Traveller child
Schools may make a referral to the EMTAS service for support for a Traveller pupil. Referrals can be made by telephone or by e-mail using the Traveller referral form.
Support is available to all Travellers whether living on a site, mobile or housed. Housed Travellers may still maintain their cultural identity, values and expectations. Parents may still feel wary of school because of their own experiences of education and they may still travel for periods of time, and feel their culture is not recognised . Any of these or a number of other issues may result in barriers to accessing education. Because of this TAS maintain a flexible approach to housed Travellers and will offer advice to schools and other services if there are concerns. It is important to remember that the majority of Travellers in Hampshire are living in housing.
Transition support for Year 6 Traveller pupils can also be provided during May-July to prepare them for secondary school. Please contact 01256 330195 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com .

In the following interesting article (which, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, is nevertheless an interesting viewpoint, in the sense of iron sharpening iron), the author hypothesises that the Holy Day was never meant to be changed from Sabbath to Sunday.
In the course of the article, the author specifically addresses the phrase "first day of the week" occurring in Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Mark 16:9, Luke 24:1, John 20:1 and John 20:19. The hypothesis of the author is that that phrase "first day of the week" in those verses is better translated as "one of the Sabbaths" or "First Sabbath". Given that there are seven weekly Sabbaths between Passover and Pentecost, the author further hypothesises that the phrase "First Sabbath" can be taken to refer to the first weekly Sabbath after the Passover high Sabbath.
What should one think of the above hypotheses?
possible on-topic re-focusing of the question:
Should the phrase "the first Day of the week" that appears in Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1 and John 20:19 be better translated "one of the Sabbaths" - as suggested in this article in which the author hypothesises that "the Sabbaths" in question are the seven mentioned in Leviticus 23:15:
'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. NKJV

BOOTS AND BIJOUX: Tiffany & Co. has tapped Irina Lazareanu as its next poster girl. At the Off Off Bowery party at Le Baron Monday, Lazareanu said she's off to New York this week for the shoot with Michael Thompson. Fashion blogger Cory Kennedy is ready for her close-up, too: She's in negotiations with Dr. Martens to feature in its spring campaign. Other guests included Gareth Pugh and Milla Jovovich, plus fellow model moms Heidi Mount and Angela Lindvall. "We're the mom's crew tonight," said Lindvall before heading off and dancing on a chair with Jovovich. Emma Watson, meanwhile, said her calm demeanor when coping with photographers is appearance only. "Inside I'm screaming," she admitted.

I have had some sushi in the past and wasn't really a big fan. Decided to give Shogun a try as I was told by many it was a must-go trip. I was certainly not disappointed. The selection is quite large and they even had a decent selection of Chinese/Japanese dishes to go with it for the non-sushi lovers. Make... More
I have had a lot of sushi all over north america and this place still ranks as one of the best! Every time I'm around it's a must
Whole family find food each one love. Services are good. Convenient on the Great Northern Road. Open 7 days a week, even on thanksgiving !
We tried this sushi restaurant on last Saturday night and found the food was just ok. They only offered buffet, no other choice! When we tried to talk to our waitress, Suki, but we weren't sure it was the language barrier or her attitude, she did not respond! We requested to have appetizer to be served first, but she ignored... More
It was good not great. Maybe its because I tried JC first it feels a little cramped inside. Our waitress was non existent so that did not help. She rarely smiled. The food was good but for an experience go to JC Sakura. It cant be beat imo
We love the Japanese food but this one is the worst Japanese food I ever taste. Also the service is not friendly at all.
I went there with my friends/coworkers for a relaxing long lunch. It's best to go there when you are not in a big hurry so you can properly enjoy each new dish as it comes. The service is always prompt, but if you go during peak evening hours, prepare to wait. On the menu, the variety is superb, and I... More
This is by far one of the best places I have ever eaten sushi, and I've eaten at lots of different sushi restaurants across the country. There was a large selection on the menu, the service was quick, the prices were really affordable and the portions were big enough that I had left overs, and only paid about $13 for... More
We were attracted to this resto by its appealing web site, with great photography, while on a brief stop over in Sault Ste Marie.

English (ENG)
Professors Bender, Ottenhoff, Palmer, Selmon and Stargardt; Associate Professor Chen; Assistant Professors Vivian and von Wallmenich.
English Department courses challenge students to engage with the traditions and methods of literary study to become powerful critical and creative thinkers. Students balance thinking broadly with reading closely, building knowledge in world literatures and cultures to appreciate and understand their own.
The Department's course offerings include introductory and advanced level courses in composition, creative writing and journalism; introductory surveys and advanced studies in literature and critical theory; and a senior seminar. The Department regularly offers opportunities for independent, off-campus and overseas study.
Several of our recent graduates have successfully completed M.A. and Ph.D. programs in literature and composition. More generally, English graduates are well prepared for professional opportunities in media, the law, public relations, public and private education, and for jobs with non-profit foundations and research organizations.
Major Requirements
Thirty-six credits which must include:
- Four credits in English 130, 131, 132, 133, or 134.
- English 250 or 251; and 260 or 261.
- Twelve additional credits of upper-level literature; at least eight credits must be at the 300 level.
- English 320.
- Four credits in English 200, 220, 270, 290, 291, 292, 293, or 370.
- English 420.
- Required cognate: four credits of foreign language at or above the 112 level to help students appreciate sounds, structure and beauty of a language different from their own.
- Students who meet Alma's requirements for honors and who present a senior thesis judged to be of honors caliber are eligible for English Department honors.
- Note: English 100, 101 and 190 do not count in the English Major.
Minor Requirements
Twenty-four credits which must include English 130, 131, 132, 133, or 134; 250 or 251; 260 or 261; 200, 220, 270, 290, 291, 292, 320, or 370; and two additional upper-level literature courses, at least one at the 300 level. Please note: English 100, 101 and 190 do not count in the English Minor.
Program Considerations
Potential majors are advised to schedule English 133 in the first year and English 320 in the sophomore or junior year. English 320 is a prerequisite for and may not be taken concurrently with English 420 Senior Seminar. Note: the English Major also requires one foreign language course at or above the 112 level.
All students planning a teaching career are advised to take COM 111 Fundamentals of Speech Communication and at least one course in diversity literatures. Those planning to teach secondary education with an English minor are advised to complete all English coursework prior to student teaching. Elementary teaching minors are encouraged to take ENG 220 General Linguistics.
Students considering graduate school are urged to complete more than the required number of 300-level literature classes and ENG 500 Senior Thesis.
The English Department encourages students to gain as much writing experience as possible — in creative writing courses, workshops with visiting writers, involvement with Alma student publications, and internships on or off campus.

PORT-AU-PRINCE -- On a desolate street in this recovering capital, supporters of former Haitian President Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier lamented his possible fate as the former dictator prepares to come face-to-face with his troubling legacy.
Duvalier, 61, is scheduled to appear in a Haitian court Thursday, facing accusations of crimes against humanity and corruption but fighting efforts to put him on trial. He has failed to show up on three previous occasions, and his followers are upset that this time, a three-judge Haitian appeals court panel has ordered a police escort to assure his presence as it examines legal arguments of the case.
In a country extremely sensitive about its dictatorial past, this quagmire of a case is opening old wounds, raising doubts about the judicial process and resurrecting conspiracy theories.
"What about all of the others who are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Haitians after he left? Why don't they go after them?" said Gerard Hyppolite, 71, as a chorus of agreement emanated from the crowd of supporters outside Duvalier's political party's headquarters. "It's a plot against him."
Duvalier was only 19 when he assumed power in 1971 upon the death of his father, Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier. He inherited a brutal system that included a secret militia and military that specialized in terror. While supporters point out that Haiti had jobs during the era, critics say thousands were killed or tortured and government coffers were looted.
Duvalier fled into exile in 1986 and returned in 2011. Shortly after he came back, Duvalier issued a rare public apology "to those countrymen who rightly feel they were victims of my government."
Some wonder whether the one-time despot will ever be tried for corruption and human rights abuses. Still others wonder about the motives of foreign human rights observers who pack the wooden benches inside the sauna-like courtroom, sitting next to many of the 30 people who have filed human rights complaints against Duvalier.
The past — courtroom clerks still take notes by hand — is colliding with the future as Haitians contemplate who else from Haiti's bloody past could possibly be next to answer for their deeds.
Haiti's Collective Against Impunity, a local human rights organization, represents 22 of the 30 plaintiffs.
Danielle Magloire, coordinator of the collective, said their fight is not only for justice but also for the "collective memory" of a nation whose majority young citizens lack personal remembrance of what the Duvalier era represented.
For all Haitians, it's a historic moment when they will be challenged to reconcile with the country's past.
"Until you come to terms with the nature of the dictatorship publicly, I don't think you can go on," said Robert Fatton, a longtime Haiti watcher and political science professor at the University of Virginia. "It's true many of the people under Duvalier are old now, but they don't forget. All of those who have been jailed, or intimidated or sent into exile, they want some clarity on the past."
But even as the victims seek clarity, many wonder if it's even possible in Haiti.
Last year, the investigative judge assigned to the case ruled that Duvalier should be tried only on embezzlement charges and that the statute of limitations had run out on the human rights abuses allegations. But the victims are appealing that ruling and Duvalier is appealing the decision to try him on corruption charges. The three-judge panel now must decide whether to uphold the investigative judge's two-part ruling.

However, since I've been home, the landscape has changed. A 'Monster' California Wildfire has head towards the coast, and now it's heading towards Malibu. We have some pictures and video to share.

Celebrating the Fall of the Berlin Wall
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
It's been 20 years since the fall of The Berlin Wall, and the city's been celebrating all year, with special events, exhibits and hotel packages. I was in Berlin a few months ago, and even then, the energy around the anniversary was palpable -- strolling the sites defined by where the wall once stood, bristling with energy, it's hard to imagine the city divided. Potsdamer Platz, for example, was a barren urban wasteland and is now home to a moving temporary exhibit. And of course there are plenty of museum exhibits and memorials. (A list of special exhibitions here.)
Since we're now entering the anniversary of the season of unrest that led to the wall's euphoric end, on November 9th, 1989, this is the time to go relive one of the last century's landmark historic events, in a city with uniquely troubled modern history. The Westin Grand Berlin is offering a package that includes the opportunity to take hammer and chisel to a portion of the wall that the hotel has artfully (if a bit jarringly) placed right in front of its portico. This cushy hotel is convenient to the Brandenburg Gate and to other Wall memorials.

Behind the headlines, behind the outcry from friends of North Carolina's 17 university campuses, you find one lawmaker making general comments about possible austerity measures. With no bill in sight, all else is speculation and rumor. Is this a panic reaction, perhaps?
Not a chance. The lawmaker is Forsyth County Republican Pete Brunstetter, who co-chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee. His remarks were anything but off-the-cuff; they were aimed straight at the media. They were broad, but not enough to conceal his meaning. The senator means downsizing, maybe closing a campus or two. And his party will control the 32-member UNC board in the new fiscal year.
Maybe everyone should step back a moment and take some deep breaths.
This isn't policy. Not yet. It absolutely is grist for a discussion that's guaranteed to spin off at least 17 hot debates and hotter political combat. But long before that commences, Sen. Brunstetter owes us an explanation. Why this? Why now? Where did this idea come from?
Efficiencies can be achieved in any official endeavor, including the operation of the legislature itself. Everyone's for efficiency, at least in the abstract. But efficiency means making things run more smoothly and more productively - and, ideally, at a lower cost. Yet we're presented at the outset with a proposition that qualifies as radical: We'll make the system better by having it cannibalize itself.
That could finesse the money part, depending on how far the legislature cares to take this. So maybe we now have the answer to the question of how Gov. Pat McCrory expects to pay for what's in his popular new budget, including 1,800 new teachers. But what about the quality of higher education, and our constitution's mandate to provide a low-cost university education to any resident who wants one? Where is that quality suffering, and why would fixing redundant and overlapping services and programs not suffice?
Fayetteville State University, like UNC-Pembroke, is a small campus. That puts both on any cynic's list of expendables. Each has had problems in the not-distant past. But as most of us know, both have been making steady gains, and hasty action for the sake of seeing how much money can be bled from them would leave the constitution's fine promise in tatters. If this "reform" is about nothing but revenue, we're all in trouble.

The reason why I am suspicious of the tag approach and the reason why I have so far systematically disabled nepomuk on all my systems (in spite of being a long time kde user), it that I really feel that this approach is 'imprisoning' some of my data, taking control of it away from me.
1) This tag approach appears to be completely unstandardized and unportable between desktop environments. If I spend time tagging my stuff and one day later I decide that I like gnome/ubuntu/xfce better than kde, all this effort is lost.
2) Looks like there is no possibility to sanely export or share this metadata. If I have a bunch of photos and I organize it by means of sensible path names (e.g. Photos/2011/Summer), and I decide to share them with a friend, simply zipping the folder and sharing the zip file will give to the receiver not just the content, but also the organization. If I put all my photos in Photos and I rely on tags for the organization, there is not tool capable of making a container file (zip like) with both the content and the organization.
3) Looks like there is no possibility to rapidly control what gets tagged and how, particularly if one relies on automatic tools to generate the tags, like indexers. For instance, if some password file of mine gets indexed by nepomuk, I would like to assure that such data is immediately removed from the indexes, but there is no way to do it.
4) There is almost no control on the amount of resources that is used for the tagging, particularly when the tags rely on automatic tools like indexing for their generation. With nepomuk, if I disable automatic indexing for a directory, I do not see the space taken by the database immediately decrease. The database seems to only augment in space over time, which is even more worrying for tablet like devices.
5) There is no way to automate operations on tags. Say that I have a bunch of photos, and that I have organized them by paths. Say "Photos/2011/Summer". Then I realize that this is wrong, and that they should have been "Photos/2010/Summer". Fixing this is as simple as a directory rename. How do I tell a tag based system something like "Please select all Photos that have the "Summer" tag as well as the "2011" tag and change the "2011" tag into "2010"? I have the same problem with gmail labels. Not that the thing cannot be done, but is extremely more demanding in terms of time than a directory rename.

2) problem solved with [1a/1b] above.
3) I use nepomuk; excluding some file or directory from the index excludes its tags from the index... I couldn't see the problem.
4) Never looked at it; will study this better.
5) Works OK for me in Digikam, doing [1a] above...
Posted Oct 18, 2012 15:27 UTC (Thu) by hummassa (subscriber, #307) [Link]
5/Gmail comment) Select all mail in a label, re-label them, remove the old label; trivial.
Posted Oct 21, 2012 11:13 UTC (Sun) by callegar (guest, #16148) [Link]
2) Maybe just for photos and music if you do not use nepomuk approach to tagging which puts stuff in its own db.
3) Apart from the fact that using nepomuk your 1b does not appear all that natural, my point is this. Say that you use nepomuk and automatic indexing and that you index all your home. Say that (by mistake, during a file transfer, whatever) for 5 minutes a text file full of very secrete passwords enters your home dir. Can you guarantee me that after you erase that file, your secret passwords are not captured for an arbitrarily long time in some index file?
4) When I was administering machines, this was a nightmare. Having users ending up their quotas all the time.
5) Ok, now try to rescale all those images to 800x600. Or say that you messed a few years, so that for every year you want to do year=year+1. The fact is that if you go tags currently you loose scripting and automation. Furthermore, if the tags are in the files (like for photos, music), rewriting tags currently means rewriting an arbitrary large number of huge files to update the tags.
So, I am not saying that tags are necessarily bad. I am saying that they are extremely immature and that trying to /force/ people to use something that is immature (or even giving it as a default) often backfires. Like the gmail labels that no-one I know uses (google is anyway quite good at searching inside messages) or the crazy management of photos on android phones, where everything is shown together even if it comes from 4 different cameras and is copied in 4 different dirs.
