We always hear, don't delay , see a doctor. I am one who tends to not go to a doctor. For starters, mostly don't have cause to go. But the last two summers, I have not been taking the sun or heat so well and I am on the bike probably 12-15 hours a week.
These past two summers my arms seem dyhydrated and itchy. Last year, these conditions existed, yet the problem just went away when summer was over. So I dismiss it as alergy to the sun or heat rash or something. I use plenty of sun screen and use hydrating creams all the time. I really put on thick coats of sun screen whenever I go out ..
So my sympton. Itchy , somewhat rough feeling skin. Couple depressions and couple elevated bumps that don't seem to have much mass. Either brown or rose colored. Not particularily irregular in shape.
Medical web sites do not mention melonomia to be itchy. Reason I think it heat rash or allergy, the itch. From my readings , itchiness not mentioned. I notice that itcy feeling sort of spreading to areas that are covered by my jersey. and why don't these conditions spread to my exposed legs.
Reason I dismiss it, last summer it went away. I'd hate to have to ride in long sleeve jerseys in the heat. ( A suggestion, maybe this forum should have a sports medicine thread.) Might be helpful.
appreciate knowing what your symptons were. Hate to take the time off the bike to make an appointment with a doctor. Just kidding.

You're specifically referring to the point where the openib btl sets the reachable bit, but then later decides "oops, an error occurred, so return !=OMPI_SUCCESS" -- and assume that the openib btl is not called again.
If so, then yes, that's a bug. The openib btl should be fixed to unset the reachable bit(s) that it just set before returning the error.
Or the BML could assume that !=OMPI_SUCCESS codes means that the reachable bits it got back were invalid and should be ignored.
I'd lead towards the former.
Can you file and bug and submit a patch?

Dancing With The Stars
Danica McKellar Is Engaged! See Her Ring (VIDEO)
Winnie Cooper is officially off the market — again!
The Wonder Years alum Danica McKellar, who competed with Val Chmerkovskiy on this past spring's Dancing With the Stars Season 18, just revealed she's engaged to her boyfriend, Scott Sveslosky.
"So... can you guess what my big announcement is?" Danica wrote when posting the news — and the ring photo shown below — on Facebook. "Yes, my amazing boyfriend Scott and I are engaged! (This is the guy that Valentin Chmerkovskiy did a shout-out to on Dancing with the Stars!) I'm wishing all of you the happiness and joy that I feel right now!"
Congrats, Danica! (Val retweeted the news, adding his own happy emoji.)
The 39-year-old actress and math book author has son, Draco, nearly 4, from her first marriage to Mike Verta. They were together from 2009 to 2012.
Just yesterday, Good Morning America posted a story featuring a Wonder Years reunion, including Danica, to celebrate the show's DVD being available for pre-order. Also yesterday, Danica posted a pic catching up with one of her Season 18 buddies, pro Sharna Burgess. Last week, Danica meet up with Val's previous celeb partner, Elizabeth Berkley, and shared a pic. "Playdate with @elizberkley and our toddlers...," Danica wrote, "and not talking about @iamvalc at all. Nope, not one bit. ;) xo." And not too long before that she shared a pic with her fellow Season 18 alum (and nostalgia TV star) Candace Cameron Bure, writing, "With @candacecbure watching @MarkBallas kick a** singing on stage! #longliveDWTS19 :)"
Danica is definitely invested in the DWTS family, which is just how we like it! And since Scott will be part of her family, he's pretty much part of ours too. Take good care of Winnie, buddy — or Kevin Arnold (and Val) will come after you!

License-free fishing days coming up
Published: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 at 5:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 at 6:20 p.m.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will allow two license-free fishing days in June.
The first, a saltwater license-free day, takes place this Saturday. The second, a freshwater license-free day, takes place June 8.
Commission officials said the license-free days are an opportunity for residents and visitors "to cast a line into the water and get hooked" on fishing.
"We hope visitors and residents alike will be able to join in the excitement of Florida's saltwater and freshwater fishing this year by participating in one of our license-free fishing days or attending an event surrounding the days," stated FWC Executive Director Nick Wiley.
"This is an excellent opportunity to share the fun and togetherness of a fishing trip with the entire family or to introduce someone to a lifetime hobby of fishing."
To celebrate National Fishing and Boating Week, commission officials will be on hand at the Interstate 95 welcome center between May 31 and June 2 to talk about handling fish, using dehooking tools, general boating safety and more.
Though the license fees are waived, all other restrictions and regulations do apply. For more information, visit myfwc.com/fishing .

Goat cheese (in Switzerland ) is cheese from the milk of goats.
There is, as also with cheese from cow's milk, a large range of different sorts. Each sort is not made to 100% of goat milk, it is often under-mixed cow or sheep milk. If German goat cheese is to be defined however as such, it must consist to 100% of goat milk.
A local speciality is the Altenburger goat cheese g.U., it is registered in the European Union under this name as protected designation of origin and may with the appropriate seal be distinguished.
A further speciality is the Norwegian Ekte Geitost ", east means "cheese "). It is made of goat whey, goat milk and goat cream. Its characteristic brown color receives the cheese by the Karamellisierung of the lactose. It is the furthest common cheese in Norway, nearly a culinary national symbol.
The sort variety reaches from over soft and mould cheese up to hard cheese. Also the flavour is enough from mild and cremig to strong aromatic.
The contents materials of the cheese are as far as possible identical to made of cow's milk the manufactured. The fat portion and the portion of milk protein are however somewhat smaller. It is partially possible for humans with milk protein incompatibility to eat this cheese.

New "Bates Motel" Teaser Makes Me Quiver (In A Good Way!)
Written by Katie Marzullo
The countdown begins for the big March 18 premiere of A&E's Psycho prequel, "Bates Motel", and with every new poster or teaser trailer that debuts online or on TV, I become ever more intrigued by what might be in store from this Carlton Cuse/Kerry Ehrin brainchild!
Yet another juicy teaser has just been released, this one featuring the Bateses themselves. It's just one single jump-cutty shot of Norman (Freddie Highmore) and his loving mother (Vera Farmiga) sitting on – what else? – a bed, looking for all the world like a perfectly respectable pair… until Mother coos an intimate sentiment in his ear, and Norman reacts with a devious grin. Ahhhhhh! I can't wait for this!
Tune in on March 18 to see how it all goes down!

I don't want to pre-judge the new Cooking SE that just entered private beta, but looking over some of the questions and especially the answers, there are going to be a lot of answers that are based on 'conventional wisdom' and as such will rise to the top.
To illustrate without picking on any particular question here is a made up example:
Q: How long does it take to soft boil an egg?
A: I was always told to boil 3 minutes for soft boiled eggs.
A: I was always told to boil 2.5 minutes for soft boiled eggs.
A: I was always told to boil 3.5 minutes for soft boiled eggs.
Then some one comes along and answers with a fact-based method of determining the correct boiling temperature and duration. Is there a process to promote more accurate answers over subjective answers?
Note: I don't have an answer that I wish was rated higher like this, I'm just interested in the communities ideas about this kind of situation. Accurate vs Popular is often a distinction without a difference in a mainly engineer-type group, but I predict in the new sites will it may become more important.

The automobile sector has seen tremendous improvements in recent years due to the advent of different car dashboard symbols which help to identify the various components of a vehicle that have been diagnosed defective by a vehicles computer system. Advancement in modern day technology has led to tremendous innovation in the design of vehicles electronics which has helped drivers to automate tasks that they may or may not know how to do.
The car dashboard symbols play a crucial role indicating when your vehicle needs fuel, is low on oil, if the battery is dead and many more. A modern day vehicle is made of many functioning parts that are depicted by the car dashboard symbols which offer warning signs if certain parts need maintenance. The ABS light indicates a problem with the anti locking brake system. Owners should do what's necessary and get it repaired before you encounter a fatal brake malfunction.
One of the most important car dashboard symbols includes signals that the charging system or battery don't work properly. Therefore, it is important to replace your battery and make sure you carry jumper cables in case the battery dies. Another car dashboard symbol that is underrated are the signal lights that indicate which way you are signaling to other drivers. Making sure your signal light is used appropriately ensures no confusion will happen with other drivers when changing lanes or turning corners.
Another car dashboard symbol that you should not ignore is the temperature warning light. If you see this light you should try to pull over as soon as possible as this indicates that your engine may be over heating. The last thing you want to do is damage your engine. The high beam light indicates that your lights are on high beam setting. You should use high beams if you are driving on busy streets that are well lit. You could temporarily blind another driver causing an accident. There is also a seatbelt light on the dashboard that indicates the driver or passengers have not buckled up there seatbelt. Buckling your seatbelt for an experienced driver should be common sense as it can potentially save your life in an accident.

New Delhi, Imagine shelling out Rs.100,000 for a used towel! A lot of people might, if the towel belonged to a celebrity. From clothes to cricket bats – Indians are fast opening up to the idea of bidding for celebrity memorabilia online.
"People have started buying such merchandise nowadays. And there are various reasons to it – some buy them for the resale value of an item, some go for it because they are a fan of the celebrity or some just want to give for charity," Deepa Thomas, senior manager (Pop Culture) at eBay, told IANS.
Thomas says the craze among people for celebrity memorabilia started around 2005. A Salman fan paid as much as Rs.100,000 for his used towel.
Thomas says her company decided to cash in on the demand in 2005 only and the trend is now scaling high.
"The money people are ready to shell out for such memorabilia's depends on how rare the item is and also on the brand power of the celebrity. Between 2005 -2008, ebay has earned Rs.1.8 crore through sale of personalised celebrity auctions and we gave the money for charity," added Thomas.
Kolkata-based Riddhi Nair decided to bid for Olympic gold-medalist Vijender Singh's boxing gloves auctioned on choreographer-director Farah Khan's chat show "Tere Mere Beach Mein" because she was moved by the way his mother brought him up.
She spent Rs.17,800 for the item and says she will treasure it like "heirloom" forever.
"I happened to see the repeat telecast of 'Tere Mere Beach Mein' where Vijender's mother spoke about how she never bought a new sari for herself for a long time so that she doesn't have to compromise on her son's training. It left me very emotional.
"I was touched to see his rising – from a remote village to being a world champion. It's very thought provoking. It is the perfect example for my daughter that she must always do something big in life," said Nair, a 33-year-old housewife.
Another motivation for Nair to bid was that the money will be transferred to Mumbai-based NGO Sneha, which works towards quality nutrition, education and health care of women and children.
Nitin Jain, a 39-year-old investor, bid for Priyanka Chopra's autographed Gavin Maguel designer dress auctioned on Farah's show. He paid Rs.50,000 for the outfit.
Jain says he often bids for items if the proceeds go for charity, but also had a special eye on Priyanka's dress as his 15-year-old daughter is a huge fan of the actress.
"Recently, there were several items that were auctioned on 'Tere Mere Beach Mein' – the chat show on STAR Plus. We had bid for many of them and were, in fact, the second highest bidders for Bipasha Basu's shoes. But my daughter is a Priyanka Chopra fan – so she also wanted it," said Jain, who is based in New Delhi.
Other items sold through the show include Shahid Kapoor's cap for Rs.28,500, Kareena Kapoor's blue dress for Rs.22,300, Yusuf Khan's cricket bat for Rs.60,750, et al.
Selling celebrity memorabilia also makes business sense for celebrities themselves at times, says small screen actor Sachin Sharma, who launched a web portal called sbuy two months ago. TV and movie stars can auction their items through the site.
"There are many celebrities in India who don't get their due. And when they land in tough times and need money, they can turn to such auctions. I had a friend from the industry who wanted to sell his car but wasn't getting the right price from the dealer. But he struck a much better deal with a fan," said Sharma, who was seen in "Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii".
Sharma's website has already had 300,000 hits in two months, he claims it is evidence to the demand of such items nowadays.

You said your roses were just coming out, here are just three of my 30 varieties, now all in flower.
The pink one furthest away is Compassion, a lovely big scented rose & so reliable.
The red one was in a pot outside my front door in Jersey,it grew through an archway, then was taken to my other French house…. in the pot where it stayed for five years & finally planted in the ground at my present house, I have no idea what it's called.
Nor do I know the name of the nearest rose in the photo,but I have this variety in many places around the garden, the one shown was just a cutting about 5 years ago.
I am surprised to hear they are is so far ahead of yours.
This original photo is a beauty & full of colour but has reproduced very badly, MyT is a shambles!

May we remember Terri Schiavo by sending loving thoughts to her personal family and our worldwide family of humanity. May our dearest prayers be with all who took care of her with love and tenderness. May their example touch our hearts and souls with compassion that we may have a beautiful example in our own lives, and with our families during difficult times.
"Your life and death has touched us
More than we can say.
We came to know the struggles
That you faced from day to day.
This little prayer sends forth our wish
For your peace and joy always.
May God's grace give comfort now
And fill with peace our days."

|RSS Tutorial
Automatic Notification when Articles are Published
Most of us do not have time to constantly browse the internet to find all the good information we need. I surely would not expect you to check our website daily or weekly for new articles. That is not realistic. So how do you know when something of interest is written?
RSS Feeds and Twitter to the Rescue!
Confused about RSS Feeds and Twitter? So was I until our resident Tech Guru (Geek) got me started. And now I love having them!
If you want to be notified by a very short message each time we post a new informative article instead of having to constantly jump on the L.E. Cooke website to check, then use the RSS Feed or Twitter to be notified.
What you use all depends upon how you use your computer and what programs you use most often. I always have Outlook open, so I like to be notified by email. Others live in their internet browser and use it to be notified. Here are some ways to set these things up:
I like RSS to send me an email when something is published that I am interested in.
1) If you are using Outlook 2007, here is a great article by Microsoft that explains RSS Feed fully: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA012304631033.aspx. On Outlook 2007, this is really simple to set up and use.
2) If you are using Outlook 2003 or earlier, here is a free downloadable program that I use to make it work just like Outlook 2007: http://rsspopper.blogspot.com/2004/10/home.html
When you click on our RSS button (right side of every page) it gives you a new RSS Feed page with this URL address at the top:
Just copy this address into the Outlook RSS link settings and Outlook will automatically find new content and let you know by email when something new is published.
Alternately, there are free Vista Sidebar gadgets or free Google gadgets that will monitor your RSS Feed links and display them on your desktop when something new is published. They work well too, except when I have too many programs open to see anything on my desktop.
There are a lot of other ways to read RSS Feeds – some right inside your browser. It all depends upon what you use most often. More help can be found here: http://www.whatisrss.com/.
Twitter is very easy. First sign up for your own Twitter account at www.twitter.com. It is free and only needs your email address and a password that you make up.
Once you are signed in to your Twitter account, just click on the L.E. Cooke Twitter button (right side of every page) and our Twitter page opens up. Click on the "Follow" button and you will be connected and notified each time an article is published. Each "Tweet" is a maximum of 140 characters so you are not buried in reading. If you are interested in the topic, follow it to the article.
You can follow your Twitter feeds by using your web browser and looking at your Twitter account page. I don't like remembering to go to my Twitter page with my browser, so I again use a Vista Sidebar Gadget or Google Gadget to place the notifications right on my desktop – right below the RSS Feed notices.
If still confused, give me a call at L.E. Cooke and I will be happy to guide you through it. Why will I do this? Because I think you will like what we post and I want you connected. Ron Ludekens - President

Hello, all. After being a member for many months, I am finally ready to share the maps I've been working on. This site has been an invaluable resource, and I've truly been inspired by all the amazing work and enthusiasm here. I must confess though that I have but one place to map in me. I am not a gamer and though I may make other maps in the future, it will almost certainly be of the mysterious place that has fascinated me for so long. I will try to post the first of them in the Finished Maps forum today under the title, "PLANET EBEN".
I hope you enjoy them.

Nas told Billboard [1] last week he was cooking up a few surprises, and now we know one of them: an as-yet-untitled collaboration with reggae star Damian Marley.
The pair has been recording quietly in Los Angeles for the last several weeks. Nas' manager, Anthony Saleh, tells Billboard the project will most likely be released in the spring. It's not clear which label will release it; Nas is signed to Def Jam, while Marley records for Universal.
"We've been recording in a studio, where people like Mick Jagger are recording. No one knew who we were," Saleh says. "We're going to Miami this week to finish it up and we're aiming to tour for the album this summer."
In addition to its regular incarnation, the album may also be released in a special edition exclusively through Best Buy or Target. A portion of the proceeds will go toward building a school in Africa, though details are still being solidified.
As previously reported, Nas guests on a song on Dr. Dre's long-in-the-works "Detox" album, due sometime this year. He was nominated for two Grammys at Sunday's 51st annual awards but lost in both the best rap solo performance and best rap album categories.

Paul Gauguin (artist)
French, 1848 - 1903
Parau na te Varua ino (Words of the Devil), 1892
oil on canvas
overall: 91.7 x 68.5 cm (36 1/8 x 26 15/16 in.) framed: 116.8 x 94 x 10.1 cm (46 x 37 x 4 in.)
Gift of the W. Averell Harriman Foundation in memory of Marie N. Harriman
On View
Object 5 of 8
It is unlikely that anyone who saw this painting when it was exhibited in Paris in 1893 would have understood the Tahitian legend Gauguin inscribed on it. Its symbolism remains complex. The masked kneeling figure is the varua ino of the title, a malevolent spirit who materializes as strange and frightening humanoid forms. The standing woman, on the other hand, is associated through her gestures evoking modesty and shame with western images of Eve after the fall. When Gauguin traveled to Polynesia, he took with him a collection of photographs—of Renaissance paintings, the Parthenon, the Buddhist temple of Borobudur—and often incorporated these images in his Tahitian painting.
Yet this is not simply a western theme in Polynesian guise. Among the women of Tahiti, Gauguin discovered profound spiritual forces at work. In this Polynesian Eve, he envisioned a channel through which spiritual energy entered the everyday world. Probably she represented knowledge of good and evil, of life and human morality—part of Gauguin's long fascination with life and death. At the upper right, under the curiously serpentine red and green face, Gauguin inserts himself into the scene with the depiction of a sketchy hand, an emblem he used also in self-portraits.

The Macintosh is designated after the apple places McIntosh. The McIntosh was the favourite apple of Jef Raskin, the member of the Macintosh Designteams was. An alternative name during the development time of the project was "Bicycle ": Apple joint founder Steve job saw that in the long run to Macintosh computer mentioned as "Bicycle for your mind ", but due to the resistance of the developer team the new designation did not become generally accepted.
For the name Macintosh has the company Apple 1983 a license agreement with the US-American HiFi manufacturer McIntosh Laboratory, Inc. locked.
Typically for the hardware of the Macintosh was from the outset to unite if possible all basic functions on the motherboard. Since the first Macintosh are diagram, clay/tone and networkable serial interfaces integrated, shortly thereafter were added ADB and SCSI, and late Ethernet and modem. Finally FireWire and USB became standard. Entering suppl. advice like iMac are expandable only the flexibility larger by external connections, professional models offer by internal PCI and AGP and/or PCIe card locations.
Since Apple develops both the hard and the software of the Macintosh platform, an exact tuning of the components is one on the other simpler as for example under Microsoft Windows, which must support a multiplicity of different hardware platforms of different manufacturers.
Macintosh fans lead therefore gladly the argument of larger crash security and missing driver conflicts on the Mac into the field, while Macintosh critics refer to the partially substantially more inexpensive hardware of the Intel and AMD based computers, which under Windows, Linux or -- more rarely -- BeOS or BSD run. The assumption of existing industry standards such as ATA and the early commitment for new standards (conditions 2004) like WLAN, Bluetooth or Firewire did not waive, did not relate the additional price so nevertheless opposite more comparably Intel based hardware if.
The processors were built first by Motorola, later also by IBM. After an announcement of Steve job the entire product row is to be changed over in the years 2006 and 2007 to processors by Intel. On 10 January 2006 first was introduced Intel iMac as well as the likewise Intel based laptop row MacBook/MacBook pro (successor iBooks and PowerBooks). At present (June 2006) (dual core) the power Mac G5 is the last model row, which has still another power PC processor.
Further technical equipment characteristics:
Major item: Mac OS (to version 9) and Mac OS X (starting from 2001).
Already exhibits in March 2001 the introduced Erstfassung until today of Apple for the Macintosh of used operating system Mac OS X opposite its (namentlichen) predecessors technically seen practically no more thing in common. Mac OS X uses the NEXT system, whose manufacturing firm of the same name was taken over by Apple as basis. Kernel named Darwin, open SOURCE Unix-derivative, which is derived from FreeBSD, forms core of Mac OS X. this makes possible it that a majority the open SOURCE software, which were developed under other one, open Unix derivatives can be used also under Mac OS X.
On the Kernel the Aqua surface in such a way specified puts, one on opposite "the classical "Mac OS completely newly arranged user surface, whose Design elements (transparency and shade effects, more detailed Icons) found partially also in surfaces of Unix/Linux and Windows systems entrance. Besides however also - a new fact for the Macintosh - the operation is available by university X-command line.
With the conception of the software boat Camp in April 2006 it became for the first time possible to start a Macintosh with Windows or another x86-System. This possibility exists however only with a Apple computer with x86 processor.

Ethics is a towering work by an absolute genius, a mathematical definitive explanation of God, the universe and mans place in it. Read it not because you think you must fight through `great philosophy, but for its beautiful symmetry of ground breaking rational thought. I eagerly recommend this work to anyone interested in exploring their thoughts on philosophy, religion and psychology. If anything, Ethics obtains renewed relevance in the post-modern 21st century and its unfolding events.
Imagine setting out as an objective to describe human existence and the journey to inner freedom. To accomplishment that feat, we must first begin with God and the universe, then work our way through nature, religion, society, science, and evolution until we can frame the essence of man. Imagine then that we wish to make sense of the human paradox of violence, hate, love and passion, fear and hope, and give it a framework through which to view the world and gain serenity and purpose.
Imagine further that we do not wish to merely write yet another philosophical or Eastern spiritual text. We wish to supersede and encompass all these earlier attempts, including current thinking on Judeo Christian practice. While doing so, we shall set our bar high. We will extrapolate these beliefs and universal relationships as a geometric treatise in the manner of a mathematical proof, with definitions, axioms and propositions, and so demonstrate the possibility of reducing philosophy and the pursuit of human fulfillment to a scientific exercise.
Now imagine that we shall set out on our metaphysical journey during the Inquisition, when espousals contrary to the Church result in execution. Imagine that our thoughts are so revolutionary that even the heretics (mainly Protestants) and evolving philosophers with whom we must find safe harbor view our thoughts with alarm. Imagine ourselves cut off from public discourse, excommunicated from family and friends. Lastly, imagine we are frail and suffer from ill health, our views necessarily rendering us relatively penniless and unknown, hiding in modest obscurity. Now dear reader, we are ready to begin our book on the meaning of life despite the fact that we will never publish it for fear of death.
Most great thinkers name `Ethics among their largest influences. Einstein espoused himself a Spinozan. It is certainly one of the most astounding and important books ever written.
His work changed my life. He not only filled in pieces of the puzzle I had missing, he rearranged them and gave them sense. I view almost all important constructs in life within his tautology. Please read Spinoza.
His astounding work is a testament to the blinding power of rational thought.

text: Dear VNC list, as a new vnc-user I have the following problem: I want to use a NT4-Server without monitor and keyboard as Mac Fileserver. In fact the only task would be to shutdown the machine remotely. VNC installation on Mac was no problem. On the server I first got the message "The SCM could not be contacted - the WinVNC service was not installed" while not beeing logged in as admin. It worked as admin and I run VNC as service as recommended. Now the problem is, that I get the error "The server could not be found. This may be because the server is not running, or because the adress of the server was incorrect.", after a long period of waiting, when I try to connect from the Mac's viewer. The IP adres is correct, VNCserver is running an even a volume of the NT machine is mounted on the Mac's desktop, so there should be no physical problem in the network. The Mac runs with OS 9.1. What could be wrong? Any advice?

Yet More 64Bit
It's been a good week for 64Bit. Following high Bit releases from Wine and Flash, Sun is now offering a Java Plug-In for 64Bit browsers.
It's been a few years since 64Bit was considered to be all the rage. After a drought of emergency 32Bit solutions and constant complaints from users, it seems the software producers are becoming increasingly convinced of the need for 64Bit systems.
Thanks to the Sun 64Bit plug-in, Linux and Windows users can now enjoy Java with their 64Bit versions of Firefox 3. Sun's extension is available from update 12 of Java 6, but not for PC's with Sun's own Solaris-System, due to the absence of a 64Bit browser.
The plug-in can be downloaded from the Sun website, with installation instructions for Linux users available here.

TV actress Shama Sikander features with her American beau Alexx O'Nell in a sensuous video of a song, composed by the latter. Shama says she is not bothered about what people will say of the video.
"You can't stop the world from judging you. I have never been bothered by all this. We have tried our best to make the song look as beautiful as we could. It is pure art and I am sure people will love it. In case they don't, I can't do anything about it," Shama told IANS.
The track, "Still on my mind", is about a man remembering his lost love. The video has been shot in slow motion, giving it a dreamy feel.
"The slow motion has added to the beauty, serene and calm nature of the song, making it even better," said Shama, who has been seeing Alexx, actress Sweta Keswani's former husband, since the past two years.
Shama also added that the song is full of passion and, therefore, sensuality had to be an important part of it.
"It is an international video and, therefore, had to be sensuous. Sensuality is a must. Plus, the story is about lost love and a man needs to have a lot of passion to be able to emote those feelings. It is very graceful and there is nothing vulgar in it at all," she said.
Will Shama and Alexx continue releasing music videos together now?
"We will see the response and decide. But yes, this song has given me a lot of confidence. I would definitely like to try more of this," she said.
The song will release next month.
Meanwhile, Shama, who carved a niche for herself in the TV industry with hit show "Yeh Meri Life Hai", is currently seen as a grey character in "Baal Veer". She says she was hesitant about how children would react to her character, but they seem to be loving it.

Hi everyone!
Last time I shared a tip for reducing pigmentation using Cinnamon, lemon juice and honey.
Today's tip is quite simple, easy and effective and all you need is ice cubes! Thanks to Ik, Nupur and Manali for contributing
Image Courtesy : Source
Tip -
Rub an ice cube on cleansed face few minutes before applying makeup. It not only gives a glow to the face but also tones the skin, making open pores appear smaller. You can also freeze rose water into cubes and use those instead of plain water ice cubes.
Being in a hostel, I do not get access to ice cubes but in my teenage years, I've tried this many times with very effective results especially on the smaller pimples you get because of the summer heat. The cool ice shrinks them right away!
Have you tried the ice cube tip for your skin?

Gold Shorts Cover At Fastest Pace In 13 Years
Gold shorts covered an enormous 23,518 futures contracts last week - the equivalent of 2,351,800 ounces of gold. With JPMorgan appearing to be calling everyone (here and here) to get their hands on gold to deliver, it seems our concerns over a short-squeeze are starting to solidify. The last time shorts collapsed at this fast a rate was in the 1999/2000 period which saw a considerable 33% squeeze ramp in gold prices over the space of 3 weeks in the fall of 1999. Notably, the gold short position still remains huge compared to historical values - having fallen back only to the previous all-time record high levels (i.e. plenty of room for moar squeeze). In addition to this surge in covering, Gold ETFs saw their first inflows in 2 months.
as Gold ETFs saw their first inflows in 2 months...
and the last time we saw shorts cover this size, prices surged...

Hi, my name is Toby and I'm from Holland and my question is: Would you like to grow a beard?
Actually, I would like to grow a beard because I live in Thailand and not many people here have beards, and yeah, it would be a change of pace actually. I wouldn't look like anyone else here. I think it would be pretty cool. All my friends actually don't have beards, cause also they're like half-Thai, and yeah, I go to Holland and a lot of the people have beards and I don't a beard and I kind of feel left out, but mainly because I think it's pretty cool. It's something new to add to your figure I guess.

In this project, we study the theory of lattice code shaping and nonequiprobable signaling for optical systems. Previous work has established results for coherent detection systems [1] and direct-detection systems without amplifiers [2].
Our work focuses on the theory of shaping and nonequiprobable signaling for amplified direct-detection systems. In such systems, the intensity-modulated signals are corrupted by the signal-spontaneous emission beat noise, which is proportional to the signal intensity.

Scientists, including one of Indian origin, have redefined the boundaries of the habitable zone for alien planets, kicking out some exoplanets that were thought to fall within it, and allowing a few others to be included in the zone.
"This will have a significant impact on the number of exoplanets that are within habitable zone," said research team leader Ravi Kumar Kopparapu of Penn State University.
One of the most important characteristics of an alien planet is whether or not it falls into what's called the habitable zone - a Goldilocks-like range of not-too-close, not-too-far distances from the parent star that might allow the planet to host life.
The habitable zone defines the region where a planet might be able to retain liquid water on its surface. Any closer to the star and water would vaporise away; any farther, and it would freeze to ice, Space.com reported.
But water in its liquid state is what scientists are after, since that is thought to be a prerequisite for life.
The new definition of the habitable zone is based on updated atmospheric databases called HITRAN (high-resolution transmission molecular absorption) and HITEMP (high-temperature spectroscopic absorption parameters), which give the absorption parameters of water and carbon dioxide - two properties that strongly influence the atmospheres of exoplanets, determining whether those planets could host liquid water.
The scientists cautioned that the habitable zone definition still does not take into account feedback effects from clouds, which will also affect a planet's habitability.
The previous habitable zone definitions were derived about 20 years ago by Penn State researcher James Kasting, who was also part of the team behind the updates.
The new definition isn't radically different from the old one. For example, in our own solar system, the boundaries of the habitable zone have shifted from between 0.95 astronomical units (AU, or the distance between Earth and the Sun) and 1.67 AU, to the new range of 0.99 AU to 1.7 AU.
"It's a surprise that Earth is so close to the inner edge of the habitable zone," said astronomer Abel Mendez of the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo, who was not part of the team behind the redefinition.
"Right now as I see it as a significant change. Many of those planets that we believe were inside are now outside. But on the other side, it extends the habitable zone's outer edge, so a few planets that are farther away might fall inside the habitable

Apšu Church at Lode
The Apšu Church at Lode was built in 1780 and its construction methods remind of those used in any Vidzeme Latvian peasants' house. In 1893, master cabinet maker A. Laumanis crafted new furnishings for the church - an altar, a pulpit and the organ front. Jēkabpils organ maker Mārtiņš Krēsliņš installed the organ in the church in 1890. In 1895, F.U.Lazdiņš gave as gift the bell which cast in Germany.
Next to the church there once was a bell holder where the bell was hung. In 1910-1911 a belfry was added to the building. At the beginning of the 1930's the church's straw roof was replaced with a shingle roof. The latest redecoration in the church was carried out around 1960. The Lode Apšu Church has the status of an architectural monument of national significance; some episodes of the Latvian feature film "Aija" were shot here.

ALBANY, N.Y. - The New York Attorney General's Office is reminding New Yorkers that buffer zones protecting reproductive health facilities in the state remain in effect after the Supreme Court struck down a Massachusetts buffer zone law.
A press release says Attorney General issued an open letter to law enforcement agencies around the state clarifying New York's clinic protection laws and regulations on Tuesday.
"I am committed to protecting the right of every patient in New York to full and safe access to reproductive health care services," said Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. "We will not allow activists to use a narrowly targeted Supreme Court decision as an opportunity to create confusion about the critical protections here in New York. Not only do New York State's clinic protection laws remain completely in place, I am committed to working with our partners in law enforcement to ensure they are fully enforced."
To report any violations of the state's clinic protection laws are encouraged to contact the Civil Rights Bureau in Attorney General Schneiderman's Office by calling (212) 416-8250 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Open Letter:
To: Law Enforcement Agencies in New York State
From: Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman
Date: July 10, 2014
Re: Protecting Access to Women's Health Services.
Last month the Supreme Court issued a ruling in McCullen v. Coakley striking down a Massachusetts state law intended to protect access to women's health services. In the wake of that decision, we have received reports of activist groups in parts of New York suggesting to service providers that the Supreme Court invalidated all buffer zones and other protections. That is not true.
I am committed to protecting the right of every patient in New York to full and safe access to reproductive health care services. Not only do New York State's clinic protection laws remain intact, I am committed to working with your offices to ensure they are fully enforced.
Enclosed please find a pamphlet prepared by my office that details the protections afforded under State law. If you have any questions or would like assistance, please contact my Civil Rights Bureau by calling (212) 416-8250 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. (Read the pamphlet here.)

In addition to its convening function, eLab undertakes several projects that allow the group to explore complex issues in depth, develop well thought out insights and recommendations, and partner with key industry stakeholders to test and apply new ideas. Currently, eLab is working on four projects.
The Electricity System Value Chain
The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) has developed a framework that describes the major activities required for the electricity grid to function. Because the grid system network is not a linear value chain it becomes more difficult to see how a node can be removed or where new value can be created.
Transforming How Communities Use Energy: Learning from Fort Collins
The City of Fort Collins has adopted climate action goals that are among the most ambitious climate commitments in the nation. Under new goals adopted in March 2015, the city aims to reduce its community greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2030 (relative to a 2005 baseline) and 100% (reaching carbon neutrality) by 2050. In adopting these goals, the Fort Collins City Council accelerated by 20 years the previous target of 80% emissions reduction by 2050.
Rate Design for the Distribution Edge
There is a looming disconnect between the rapidly evolving new world of distributed energy technologies and the old world of electricity pricing, where relatively little has changed since the early 20th century. By changing electricity pricing to more fully reflect the cost and value of electricity services exchanged between customers and the grid, utilities and regulators can unleash new waves of innovation in distributed energy resource investment that will help to reduce costs while maintaining or increasing system resilience and reliability. This report discusses a pathway for deliberately and gradually increasing rate sophistication for residential and small commercial (i.e., mass-market) customers.
eLab Accelerator
In Spring 2014, the Electricity Innovation Lab (eLab) assembled leading projects from around the country for a high-impact meeting to support and advance innovative work at the distribution edge of the electricity system. Multi-stakeholder teams joined Rocky Mountain Institute, eLab expert faculty, and other project teams to collaboratively advance their work. The invitation-only, four-day meeting accelerates high-potential projects by providing teams a structured working session to make real progress on their unique initiative.
emPower addresses two needs: 1) insufficient ability to make relative valuations between investments in centralized and distributed resources, and 2) there is insufficient knowledge and tools to understand the costs and values of distributed resources. The first phase of emPower identified what is known and unknown around the categorization of costs and values, methodological best practices, and gaps in understanding and approach. As part of the project, RMI conducted a literature review to determine the current state of knowledge about costs/values, methodologies, and key gaps.
Building off the gaps identified in phase 1, the currently ongoing phase 2 has two objectives. First, the project team has developed a framework to bring clarity and consistency to the language and concepts industry stakeholders use to describe the costs and values of distributed energy resources, which offers a clear articulation of how different resources can create cost or provide value. Second, the team is working to fill important modeling gaps necessary to accurately assess the costs and values of distributed resources.
New Business Models
The increasing role of distributed energy resources in the electricity system is leading to a shift in the fundamental business model paradigm of the industry. To support the transition, new utility business models will need to provide versatile and flexible platforms that harmonize the interests of electricity providers, customers, and distributed resource developers at the distribution edge. The project team is framing clear objectives and principles around the design of electricity business models, reflecting the variety of perspectives on this topic, and taking the first step towards identifying viable new models.
Innovation Beacon
eLab's Innovation Beacon project is designed to help meet the urgent need for greater opportunities for innovation in the electricity sector. Innovation Beacon conducts design charrettes for microgrids, other aggregations of distributed resources, or other relevant economic or deployment issues at the distribution edge. As part of this effort, we will develop case studies of ongoing projects innovating around these issues.
The first Innovation Beacon charrette was held November 7–8, 2012 with Fort Collins Utilities in Fort Collins, Colorado. The purpose of the charrette was to engage community stakeholders and outside experts to develop new ideas and approaches that will allow Fort Collins Utilities to achieve its aspirations to create a zero energy district and to drive carbon emissions reductions throughout the community faster than would otherwise be possible. The charrette produced important outcomes, including the possibility of a more aggressive goal, new approaches to financing, a tariff concept that could accelerate deployment while equitably addressing costs and benefits, and innovative deployment models.
Other Innovation Beacon charrettes include one with the U.S. Navy focusing on developing a clear value proposition for microgrids at Navy bases and identifying strategies the Navy can undertake to optimize around that value proposition.
Shared Vision
The lack of a shared vision among stakeholders slows progress and sometimes drives stakeholders to work at cross-purposes. Having a unifying sense of purpose and greater stakeholder engagement around that purpose is key to effectively and efficiently transforming the electricity system. Based on these needs, the Shared Vision project's purpose is to orient eLab participants around a common sense of purpose, align project efforts for greatest effect, and ultimately inform and engage others.

What to do now - Gardening Events
The Denman Island Home & Garden Tour turns 20
Highlights from some of the unique gardens that were part of this year's popular event
Keeping out the wildlife
Gardens on the island need to be fenced to keep out the wildlife—mostly deer—who thrive due to the lack of natural predators. The tour showed many ways that gardeners make a virtue out of this necessity, incorporating art, trellises, driftwood and sophisticated design into their barriers. One favourite was this arbour smothered in roses at the waterfront farm of Liz and John Johnston, featuring one of Liz's favourite blooms, the peach-coloured, deliciously fragrant Royal Sunset. Note how the transition from lawn to fence to garden is gracefully handled with a rock-bordered narrow bed all along the fence edge, enlivened with features like the inviting bench.

United Way World Wide works to end America's education crisis
Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. But with more than 1.2 million children dropping out each year, America faces an education crisis. The cost? More than $312 billion in lost wages, taxes and productivity over their lifetimes.1 These trends are reversible, but only when communities and public, private and nonprofit sectors work together.
Our Goal
In 2008, United Way World Wide launched a 10-year initiative to cut the number of high school dropouts in half by 2018. It's an ambitious goal, but by utilizing our core strengths — a national network, committed partners and public engagement capacity — we can achieve it.
Our Strategy
We can't focus on high school alone. High school dropouts are 12 years in the making, usually starting early childhood education behind schedule. United Way's model focuses on supportive communities, effective schools and strong families — strategies and approaches rooted in research. Tackling the education challenge requires reframing education on a birth to 21 continuum.
The Victoria County United Way works with a wide spectrum of organizations, governmental entities, businesses, and non-profit agencies. United Way and the following "Partner Agencies" have come together with a common goal to help individuals improve their potential. Helping Individuals Achieve Their Potential - Boy Scouts, South Texas Council ~ Boys and Girls Club ~ Communities in Schools ~ Girl Scouts ~ Victoria Adult Literacy Council ~ VISD Foundation ~ YMCA
