There's an article going around right now entitled "Sometimes I Get Really Annoyed That My Exes Haven't Just Freaking Died." I thought maybe this was an isolated example and everyone would be all "lady, that is not a very healthy perspective" (it would be a sassy response, because they prefaced it with "lady") but the most liked response is:
I don't wish any of mine dead, but I wouldn't mind if they went into massive debt and were never able to get erections again and had ball pain anytime they thought about sex.
And there's this:
I mean, first of all, don't physically assault someone. Don't do it. Don't do it, ever. Please don't do this. Please, please, please do not do this. It's not cute. It's not "brave." It's not funny. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.
However, I think people who actually carry out their revenge fantasies are a vast minority.
That said, I think there are going to be some men who read this post and think that these women need to stop hating their exes because it's bad for their exes. With the exception of a small minority of women who carry their fantasies into reality (DON'T) these are the same men who think that, if you reject them for hitting on you, you need to give them a full explanation (this is why I always reply "I am engaged to the Prince of Spain!"). Unless you are actually going to kill your ex – and don't, you'll go to jail – I do not think your revenge fantasies are bad for your ex. I do not think you need to prioritize making men feel good all the time. I do think that hating your ex is bad for you.
And I know this, because God knows there have been exes I have hated.
And nothing good has ever come from it. My revenge fantasies never killed any of my exes. They gave a few gout, sure, but I think that was more "spellcraft" than "fantasies" and that's a whole different topic.
The fantasies though, those have never done anything but waste huge amounts of my time. During that time, I could have been doing things to make my life better. But I didn't. Because I was busy sitting in bed thinking about ways I could yell at people and make them feel ashamed of themselves. There is nothing to be gained by having long-winded imaginary conversations in your head with someone about how they are a horrible person. Those fantasies will not change your situation. They will not change your ex's situation. All they will do is stop you from getting productive stuff done.
I would say that having those fantasies is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die, but that seems more like a one-off. That just seems like someone who is poorly informed and made a bad decision. This seems like drinking poison for weeks or months at a time, not feeling any better, but telling all your friends that you are drinking poison and them being like "yeah, me too! Admirable!" and generally, just being a poisonholic, so that, by the end, you're not even quite sure why you were drinking it to begin with. Except now you have wasted a huge chunk of your life and spent it feeling awful. I guess that's a bit too wordy to needlepoint onto a throw-pillow, but you see what I mean.
And, maybe this sounds corny, but I believe every one of us has important stuff to do. At least, more important stuff to do than sitting around thinking about people we don't like.
I'm not going to say anything is a better use of your time than fantasizing about your ex's death – because, for instance, trying to remove your eyeball with a melon baller would be worse use of time – but almost anything would be a better use of your time. Learning all the state capitals and rattling them off for strangers would be a better use of your time. So would planning your wedding to the Prince of Spain. So would dressing up dead mice in tiny Victorian costumes and arranging them in whimsical dioramas. Also, things normal people do. Almost anything.
So how do you stop having revenge fantasies?

Dynamic bond funds and short-term income funds reasonable investment option for 2013
In the monetary policy review last week, the Reserve Bank of India cut the key policy rates, namely the repo rate and the cash reserve ratio (CRR), by 25 basis points each. The current economic environment remains highly uncertain and volatile. At a time when the current account deficit (CAD) is at a record high and the fiscal situation is far from satisfactory, a moderating WPI inflation and a series of structural reform measures taken by the government provided space to the RBI to take this bold step. The RBI has indicated that given the sub-trend growth rate in last three quarters, it is imperative to revive the investment cycle and encourage consumption through monetary measures.
However, given the sticky inflation and high twin deficits on the current account and fiscal fronts, the room for further monetary policy stimulus is fairly limited. The RBI also revised downwards the GDP growth projection to 5.5% for FY13 from 5.8% earlier. As also it revised downwards the inflation projection for March 2013 to 6.8% from 7.5% earlier.
One can immediately appreciate the urgency shown by the RBI in cutting rates at this critical juncture. The manufacturing component of inflation is moderating at a quick pace, suggesting slowing demand and the diminishing purchasing power of manufacturers. Alongside, even though it is too early to get too optimistic, the seriousness and sincerity of the government in addressing some very complicated structural issues has not gone unnoticed to anyone. The current momentum of cost-based pricing of administered articles like diesel, fertilisers and coal etc is definite to reduce the subsidy burden and release the pressure on fiscal deficit in due course.
While initially it may result in higher inflation, it would also optimise the effective cost in the long-term through higher productivity and a more efficient production process. This should address the structural stickiness of non-manufacturing inflation in due course. Recent measures by government towards incentivising allocation of domestic savings towards financial instruments like the Rajiv Gandhi Equity Scheme and the increase in the import duty on gold will release more capital for productive purposes.
Further, a tight control on Plan and non-Plan expenditure in the current year is likely to ensure that the government is able to meet the fiscal deficit target of the current year. Reforms undertaken this year and the incipient recovery

12 Biggest TV Show Spin-Offs Ever — from "Breaking Bad" to "Buffy"Sunny Chanel
There was HUGE news for Breaking Bad fans this week. Many have been preparing for the end of the successful series, which is winding up its sixth and final season. But they won't have to say goodbye to all of the characters — AMC announced that they will be doing a prequel spin-off called Better Call Saul, focusing on Bob Odenkirk's lawyer character, Saul Goodman.
So this got us thinking: What are some of the other spin-offs of popular and beloved TV shows? We've collected a dozen of the biggest spin-offs in TV history. Which one is your favorite?
Cheers Spin-Off — Frasier 1 of 11
One of the most successful spin-offs ever was Frasier starring Kelsey Grammer. In the show, Dr. Frasier Crane moves from Chicago to his hometown of Seattle, winning a slew of Emmys in the process. Cheers ran from 1982 to 1993 (for 11 years), while Frasier ran from 1993 to 2004 (for 9 years) — a long life for a spin-off.
Photo Source: Amazon/Cheers - Available for $11.92 and Amazon/Frasier - Available for $11.92
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Spin-Off — Angel 2 of 11
One of the highlights of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for many a young woman, was the hunky David Boreanaz in the role of Angel. And he had so much of a fan base that it warranted his own show. He even took some of the other Buffy characters with him, like Cordelia and Wesley. Both Buffy and Angel became cult favorites that stand the test of time.
Photo Source: Amazon/Buffy- Available for $15,59 and Amazon/Angel - Available for $14.99
Happy Days Spin-Off — Laverne & Shirley 3 of 11
Laverne and Shirley were first introduced on the uber-hit Happy Days as pals of the Fonz. And what happens when you are BFFs with the coolest kid in town? You get your own show! Happy Days ran for ten years, while Laverne and Shirley lasted for seven, moving from Milwaukee to Hollywood. Both shows were incredibly popular and successful.
Photo Source: Amazon/Happy Days- Available for $13.13 and Amazon/Laverne and Shirley- Available for $23.49
Beverly Hills 90210 Spin-Off — Melrose Place 4 of 11
Beverly Hills 90210 was huge, like really huge, and Aaron Spelling took advantage of that and created a second addictive nighttime soap, but this one was south of the Hills and with a slightly older cast. The introduction of Melrose Place happened when the teenage Kelly falls for the older Jake, who was the main character of the the new, more mature, spin-off.
Photo Source: Amazon/90210- Available for $12.19 and Amazon/Melrose Place - Available for $12.28
All in the Family Spin-Offs — Maude and The Jeffersons 5 of 11
All in the Family didn't give birth to one show, but two. Both The Jeffersons and Maude were spin-offs from the classic '70s sitcom.
Photo Source: Amazon/All in the Family - Available for $9.99 ; Amazon/The Jeffersons - Available for $9.40; Amazon/Maude - Available for $11.02
Friends Spin-Off — Joey 6 of 11
You know what's surprising? That there weren't MORE spin-offs from Friends, one of the most successful and beloved sitcoms ever. But Matt LeBlanc's Joey was met with lukewarm reviews and only lasted two years.
Photo Source: Amazon/ Friends - Available here for $126.29 and Amazon/Joey- Available here for $324.99
Sex and the City Spin-Off — The Carrie Diaries 7 of 11
The Carrie Diaries, based on Carrie Bradshaw's younger days, does not have the same pop culture power as Sex and the City — but that would be quite a feat since the HBO hit had a widespread effect culturally and its own major motion picture spin-offs.
Photo Source: Amazon/ Sex and the City - Available here for $23.99 and Amazon/Carrie Diaries - Available here for $32.99
Diff'rent Strokes Spin-Off — The Facts of Life 8 of 11
Did you know that The Facts of Life was a spin-off of Diff'rent Strokes? The bond between the two was Mrs. Garrett, who was the housekeeper for the Diff'rent Strokes family but left Arnold, Willis, and Kimberly to become the house-mother at the Eastland School for Girls and help guide Jo, Natalie, Blaire, and Tootie.
Photo Source: Amazon/ Diff'rent Strokes - Available here for $10.49 and Amazon/Facts of Life - Available here for $7.49
French and Saunders Spin-Off — Absolutely Fabulous 9 of 11
Absolutely Fabulous was an absolute hit here in the states, but did you know it was a spin-off of Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders' show French and Saunders? The Absolutely Fabulous concept was originally a skit on French and Saunders called "Modern Mother and Daughter."
Photo Source: Amazon/ French and Saunders - Available here for $8.78 and Amazon/Absolutely Fabulous - Available here for $19.23
The Daily Show Spin-Off — The Colbert Report 10 of 11
Yes, a satirical news show beget another satirical news show. And thankfully, both are brilliant. Stephen Colbert's ultra-conservative character initially debuted on The Daily Show, but it was evident that he deserved more than a couple of minutes of air time and got his own program, The Colbert Report.
Photo Source: Amazon/Daily Show - Available here for $1.99 per episode and Amazon/Colbert Report - Available here for $5.18
Pretty Little Liars Spin-Off — Ravenswood 11 of 11
The primetime mystery/drama Pretty Little Liars is huge with the teen set. So much so that it was worthy of a spin-off named Ravenswood, which begins airing in October and will probably do very well with the Pretty Little Liars demographic.

It's been way too long since Kelly Clarkson released a single, but fans don't need to worry. 'Heartbeat Song' is here and it is totally worth the wait!
Miley Cyrus will no longer be the Reigning Queen of Twerk -- in fact, she's retiring the raunchy dance move.
At the 2014 MTV VMAs last night (Aug. 24), Katy Perry brought some major nostalgia with her red carpet dress! The singer and her date Riff Raff channeled Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's iconic all-denim outfits from the 2001 American Music Awards.
Nicki Minaj may have suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the 2014 MTV VMAs, but she played it off like it was no biggie.
It's that time of year again: The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards are upon us!
Over the years, we've seen some of music's most outrageous moments happen during the VMAs, and just as exciting as the show itself is the fashion worn by our favorite stars...
Gunfire erupted at a West Hollywood nightclub in the early morning hours of Sunday, Aug. 24, where three people, including former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, were hit and taken to the hospital for injuries as a result of the shooting.
Say what you want about Miley Cyrus -- but what she did tonight at the 2014 MTV VMAs was pretty outstanding.

Emphasis will be placed on the application of geographic information systems. Laboratory projects involving student use of computers will be required. 3:0:3. Educational Philosophy:
My educational philosophy is to encourage student engagement by using a variety of learning opportunities. Readings, lectures, demonstrations, discussions, internet resources, videos, writings, group activities, field work, mapping, Socratic seminars, quizzes, and examinations are common activities that may be utilized. My goal is to create a positive, interactive, challenging, engaging, lively, and even potentially confusing (believe it or not) classroom environment. But my success in doing so is largely dependent upon you. Your willingness to engage in all learning opportunities, think critically, ask questions, and share your knowledge and perspectives is ultimately what will make this a meaningful course.
This class involves the hands-on learning of a complex computer software package, known as ArcGIS. The more you put into working with this software, the more you will get out of this course. Although some class time will be provided for guided instruction in the use of this software, it will require that you spend additional study/work time in the GIS Lab (SC-010) outside of the regularly scheduled class period. The GIS Lab is usually open Mon-Fri from 8-5 for your use (unless another department class is utilizing the facility). The Park Public Safety Office will be given your name and student number so that you can request to have the GIS Lab opened for you in the evenings or on the weekends. You should be able to call 584-6444 to request that the room be unlocked for you.
In addition, you should be aware that this course is a required part of the core curriculum for all majors in the Geography Program at Park University. As such, this course is specifically designed to meet our "Spatial Perspectives" Program Competency, which states that our students will be able to: Demonstrate how to use maps and other geographic tools and technologies to present and interpret geographic patterns (past, present, and future). In essence, this is the ultimate goal for everyone enrolled in this course.

Jack Black's boob prideJack Black is proud of his man boobs.
The comic actor insists being portly has a major upside - you can play with 'breasts' anytime you want.
He joked: "They're unbelievable. If my 'boobs' were on a girl, guys would be going mad for them. But they are all mine, and that means I can enjoy them anytime I want. I don't need a woman for my squeezing needs anymore!"
Black recently revealed the secret to his sex appeal - being funny and average looking.
'The Holiday' actor, who is happily married to Tanya Haden, believes women are attracted to him because he isn't better looking than they are and can make them laugh.
He said: "I think my sex appeal is down to the fact that I am perceived as gettable, whereas with people like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt you haven't got a prayer. Also, it wouldn't just be dinner and a movie. A little humour goes a long way. People say it's the number one aphrodisiac, so I must be very sexy."

Dish Network was widely ridiculed for snapping up the Blockbuster video rental chain last year, but it may be getting the last laugh now. Dish has a chance to move into the cell phone business, and all those brick-and-mortar Blockbuster stores could give it a big boost.
As cable companies and satellite TV providers made their latest quarterly reports, one thing became clear: Americans are fed up with their bills for premium TV. The cable and satellite TV industries ended the period with 292,000 fewer customers than they started with.
Netflix, the largest video-streaming company in the world, has been tracking the download speeds of North American broadband ISPs. On Thursday, it posted a chart of its findings: On average, ISPs in Canada handily beat their U.S. counterparts.

Villa Ladies preview: Hunt calls for "competitive edge"
Joe Hunt has called for a "competitive edge" from his side as Villa Ladies face Barnet Ladies on Sunday.
Hunt says his team are in "great spirits" after three wins in a row but he wants more of the same as they go in search of delight on the road.
Hunt knows that Barnet Ladies will be "contesting every ball" and wants his youthful side to match that enthusiasm throughout the ninety minutes.
He said: "We're looking forward to the trip to Barnet on Sunday.
"The squad are in good spirits. It's amazing what a few good results do for the group.
"This is a massive game for us. We've done well recently so we want to continue that.
"Barnet will be a very difficult place to go. They will be contesting every ball, every second ball so we must make sure we are ready for the challenge.
"I rested and rotated some of the players last week so hopefully they'll be eager to return."
Livy Fergusson is ruled out while Carly Davies faces a late fitness test.
He said: "Livy has been ruled out with a virus which has wiped her off her feet. It's a shame because Livy was showing some very positive form over the last few weeks.
"We'll be checking on Carly as well as she's been suffering lately with concussion and she also ran a marathon recently.
"We don't need to risk any players as we have some good numbers who are fit and performing well."

Students who develop a strong interest in GIS may choose to apply their knowledge and skills within their senior project or gain hands-on experience through internship projects. Over the last nine years, more than 45 students have incorporated GIS into their senior thesis and over 20 have completed GIS-related internships. Examples of projects include constructing a series of driving tour maps to promote ecotourism, determining the effect of land use on phosphorus export within watersheds, constructing a historical map of the city of Meadville, and developing a crop suitability model and database for a local organic farm.
Over the years, faculty have used GIS as a problem-solving or decision-making tool in a variety of research projects. Examples of GIS in faculty research projects include generating a series of driving tour maps to promote ecotourism in northwest Pennsylvania, using satellite imagery to model the risk to Lyme disease in northern California, and developing spatial databases of the location and distribution of state and federal managed land, LEED certified buildings, and timber buyers within Pennsylvania as part of forest certification research.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) _ A Bay County Sheriff's deputy is being
investigated for shooting a fleeing suspect in Panama City.
A sheriff's office spokeswoman says Sergeant Tony Walker fired shots at a car that hit him. The deputy was thrown onto the hood of the car, shattering the windshield.
The suspect, Eric Wilkes, was hit by at least one bullet. He was treated at a hospital and later arrested. He's charged with attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of powder cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Sheriff's Office are investigating the shooting. Meanwhile, Walker is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the review. He was not seriously injured.

I am trying to parse the output of a command that expects to be writing to the screen. It has data separated by move-to-origin control sequences (for the VT220, ESC[1;1H). I only need the last part (i.e. after the last move-to-origin).
I have tried doing this multiple ways (primarily awk and sed), but the problem is always that parts of the control sequence have special meaning (to the program, not just to the shell), and I cannot quote them when I substitute tput's output.
Any suggestions?
Here is an example of what I am looking to parse (ESC is the escape character):
Page 1; line 1
Page 1; line 2
ESC[1;1HPage 2; line 1
Page 2; line 2
ESC[1;1HPage 3; line 1
Page 3; line 2
I am looking to get the following, which is what would be on the terminal after the program has run.
Page 3; line 1

!!''Patriot Games''
* Jack Ryan's foiling of the assassination attempt in the beginning of the book is acknowledged in-universe.
* Later, he scares the piss out of the psychopath who's been gunning for him in the whole book, and Sergeant Major Breckenridge gets a CMOA for making sure Jack doesn't cross the MoralEventHorizon.
!!''The Cardinal of The Kremlin''
* Jack pulling off a [[MagnificentBastard magnificent]] {{plan}} to screw over the KGB chairman, rescue the titular Cardinal, and prevent a Russian power struggle.
* Colonel Mikhail Filitov is a walking moment of awesome. Started out as a tank commander during the Second World War during which he was four times decorated as a Hero of the Soviet Union, once for taking out a German tank ''while his was on fire!'' Was demoted to a desk job yet became a BadassBureaucrat, including serving as personal aide to the minister of defense. At the same time, he was so pissed off by the excesses of the Stalin government and its successors that he became the CIA's most effective mole for close to thirty years.
!!''Debt of Honor''
* Clark and Chavez's rescue of Koga from CorruptCorporateExecutive Yamata's penthouse suite. Bonus points for visiting death on the man who coldbloodedly murdered an American woman earlier.
!!''Executive Orders''
* Special Agent Patrick O'Day takes down some terrorists trying to kidnap Jack Ryan's daughter, and the Secret Service get theirs by killing the rest of them in platoon-level numbers. When the terrorists attack Giant Steps, Agent Don Russell has less than a second of warning. Armed with a 9mm pistol, he takes down three AK-toting assassins in seconds, and nails a fourth in the knee as he goes down. O'Day, caught inside with a horde of kids, manages to convince the hostiles of his harmlessness and then take them down with no collateral damage. His real CMOA? A "See you around, champ" to the deceased Russell[[note]]They'd been discussing setting up a shooting competition to see who was a better shot. O'Day acknowledged that Russell was his superior after reflecting on the crime scene[[/note]].
* Jack himself gets one for his RousingSpeech, in which he calls out the nutcase who tried to use biowar on his country and rats out his evil scheme to the world. He also manages to make the SmugSnake Indian Prime Minster realize she pissed off the wrong guy. And it would be wrong not to mention the conclusion of the book.
* The 15,000 National Guardsmen ripping apart 2 UIR army corps. The National Guardsmen are reservists, while the Army Corps are professionals who've been training pretty hard. They also outnumber the Guardsmen by almost 6 to 1. The UIR doesn't stand a chance.
* John Plumber schooling Tom Donner on what it means to be a journalist by giving a memorized speech on national TV, admitting to the fact that they ambushed President Ryan with loaded questions about his past and apologizing.
* "Mr. Daryae, here is the reply of the United States of America." Cue laser guided bomb taking out one of the worst terrorist masterminds on worldwide television and introducing people to the Ryan Doctrine: you harm Americans, President John Patrick Ryan will make sure you pay.
!!''The Bear and the Dragon''
* BadassGrandpa Senior Sergeant Gogol taking out a Chinese General with the same gun he sniped Germans with in WWII.
* The CIA causing the PRC to terminate a war by simply broadcasting the truth via the Web.
* Jack, who does not want a retaliatory nuclear strike (and the resulting blood on his hands) on his conscience, so he voluntarily elects to stay at Ground Zero for the projected nuclear assault, which is successfully averted in a CMOA for the United States Navy.
!!''The Teeth Of The Tiger''
* Dominic Caruso deliberately provoking a child rapist, after having found a missing little girl dead in the man's bathtub, into picking up a knife. The guy is less than [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tueller_Drill 21 feet]] away from Dom, a crack-shot FBIAgent. [[TooDumbToLive Big mistake.]]
* [[BadassFamily Brian and Dominic]] taking down a terrorist assault at a mall by themselves.
* Jack Ryan's son taking down a high-level terrorist operative with a death laden in {{Irony}}.
!!''Dead Or Alive''
* Jack Ryan Sr giving [[SmugSnake President Kealty]] a VillainousBreakdown with a brutally honest TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. On national television!
!!''Locked On''
* Jack Ryan being reelected to the presidency of the United States. This makes him the second president after Grover Cleveland to serve two non-consecutive terms in office and the second longest serving president after FDR.

The festival's activities will officially kick off at the April 2 Square by Tran Phu Road in the beach resort city, with a fireworks display held later in the night. Earlier on the day, festive goers can amuse themselves with performances of Spanish flamenco and traditional Japanese dance Bon Odori.
With more than 60 activities focusing on culture, arts, sports, tourism, fairs and workshops, the festival's organisers said they hoped to introduce to people at home and abroad the natural beauty and culture of Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa as well as the friendliness and hospitality of the local people.
Speaking at a press conference in Ha Noi on Saturday, Khanh Hoa People's Committee deputy chairman and head of the festival organising board, Le Xuan Than stressed that all acitivites would be free of charge for both foreign and local visitors.
"We organised a variety of diversified activities to promote the beauty that nature bestows on the city. And one of our criteria is for sustainable tourism development to draw an increasing number of visitors to Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa and to keep them here for longer," said Than.
Over the past two years, the province has seen a significant increase in international visitors, particularly Russians.
According to Than, the first direct flight from Cam Ranh International Airport [the main airport serving Nha Trang area] to Russia's Moscow will take off this Friday and once every week and then twice a week as of September this year.
In 2012, the province's budget was at nearly VND10 trillion (US$450 million). Than said despite economic difficulties the province targeted to increase the budget to more than VND10.5 trillion.
According to organisers, up to 20 activities will take place ahead of the festival to amuse visitors.
The national Rock and Hip-Hop Festival will be held from June 1-3. On June 2 everybody is encouraged to join in the campaign to clean up the city by collecting rubbish.
A range of sports activities including bicycle racing, handball, volleyball and sailing competitions, and a national golf tour along with other arts and culture activities and seminars such as discussions on the development of swallow breeding in Viet Nam will be during the festival.
Tours to discover Nha Trang's islands and night fishing expeditions will be held during the festival among events such as beer, wine and food festivals, a cooking competition, kite flying and bicycle and vintage motorbike parades.
For fans of beauty pageants, the finals of the inaugural Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa Sea Queen will take place on the night of June 9, while a street carnival will be held on June 10 before the festival wraps up the following night.
On the sidelines of the festival, the first ever International Sea Travel Expo 2013 will be organised from June 7-10, with the aim to promote and build the trademark of Vietnamese sea and island travel.
The expo seeks to promote regional tourism and co-operation in the sector while also helping to draw more foreign investment into tourism industry infrastructure
Thousands of people from all corners of the country flocked to the northern province of Hung Yen on March 21 to attend a festival commemorating Chu Dong Tu and Tien Dung, who have been honoured by generations for their immortal love.
The festival, which took place at Da Hoa temple, Binh Minh commune, Khoai Chau district, forms part of activities in the National Tourism Year of the Red River Delta- Hai Phong 2013.
The highlight of the event was an art performance with special songs and dances that depict the predestined meeting of the couple.
Legend has it that Chu Dong Tu, was born in Da Trach commune, Khoai Chau district, Hung Yen province. His parents died when he was very young. He lived by fishing and was so poor that didn't even have a loincloth.
One day, when he saw the royal barge passing by with Princess Tien Dung, the daughter of the third Hung King, on board, he got very scared and hid himself under the sand. Unexpectedly, the princess decided to erect a tent up on the shore so she could bathe. As the water trickled to the ground, it washed away some of the sand, exposing Chu Dong Tu in all his nakedness.
Tien Dung, who believed that the encounter was arranged by Heaven, fell in love with Chu Dong Tu and immediately wanted to marry him.
But Hung King opposed the marriage and intended to arrest Chu Dong Tu to punish him. Both Chu Dong Tu and Tien Dung had to hide with local people and to earn a living, they began a small business. After that, they met a Taoism hermit who taught them the superpower. When reaching the highest part of the path, they flew off to Heaven and were canonised.
As the legend goes, Saint Chu Dong Tu was in control of things all along and was present on earth to save mankind from its suffering and teaches people to do business, fish and weave to have a good life.
For his contributions, Chu Dong Tu has been dubbed as one of four immortals of Vietnamese folk belief, along with Tan Vien (the God of the Mountain), Saint Giong and other Goddess Lieu Hanh.
This is the biggest agricultural festival of the northern mountainous province and Viet Bac region (including six provinces of Bac Kan , Thai Nguyen, Tuyen Quang, Cao Bang, Lang Son, and Ha Giang).
Local ethnic groups offered trays of local specialities to gods to thank them for the crops and to ask for their blessings so local people can enjoy favourable weather conditions and have a comfortable and happy life in the New Year.
During the festival, cultural and sporting activities including stilt walking, shooting with a bow and arrows, and "con" (cloth ball) throwing are organised.
As Ba Be lake has just been recognised as a special national heritage, this year's two-day festival also includes tours on the lake.
On the same day, a similar festival also took place in Thai Nguyen province.
The ceremony involves solemn rituals to pray for good crops and good luck by Tay , Dao and San Chay ethnic minority groups.
A prestigious shaman is the first person to go off the field to conduct the Long Tong ritual while a good elderly farmer and a strong buffalo are chosen to make the first furrow for the new crop.

This pocket-friendly Cyber-shot acts more like a high-performing DSLR than a point-and-shoot camera, with a 20.2-megapixel, large Exmor CMOS sensor; a Carl Zeiss 3.6x optical zoom lens; full manual controls; JPEG + RAW image capture; and Full HD 1080/60p video recording. Impressive specs!
The camera's specially developed sensor, which is four times larger than most P&S sensors, captures more light from your scene to reproduce every detail with greater fidelity and low noise in both photos and video—no matter the lighting. It offers a range of sensitivities from ISO 125–6400, and you can select auto ISO mode, where the RX100 will automatically determine the most appropriate setting. Or you can manually expand sensitivity up to ISO 25,600 for greater control.
Its bright Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* fixed lens with 3.6x optical zoom and a wide f/1.8 aperture boasts similar optics as DSLR lenses: its seven-bladed circular aperture will let you capture subjects in sharp focus against an artistically defocused background.
If fast-action photography is your passion, the RX100 complies, with 10 frames-per-sec continuous shooting at full 20.2MP resolution plus high-speed autofocus that locks on in 0.13 sec.
To make composition effortless, you can use the 3.0-inch, 1,229k-dot LCD that boosts screen brightness, while a lens control ring can be used to alter exposure, zoom, creative picture effects, and other customizable functions. And for DSLR-like handling, there's a range of controls for video and still shooting—from program, aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual (PASM) modes for more advanced photographers to iAuto mode for beginners. On-screen prompts help you refine your skills and provide greater creative control. Once captured, you can save your photos as compact JPEG files, ultra-high-quality RAW files, or both at once.
To inspire more creativity, the RX100 has six creative styles and various picture effects, like toy camera and HDR painting, as well as the auto portrait framing function found on Sony's Alpha A-mount and E-mount cameras. This feature automatically detects faces in a scene and crops the picture to create a tighter, pro-style composition at full res, with both the original and cropped photos saved. $649.99. sony.com
This premium, compact camera, in Fujifilm's flagship X series, pays careful attention to detail and offers the company's latest imaging technology. It combines a fast, 4x manual zoom Fujinon f/1.8 (25–100mm equivalent) wide-angle lens with a 12-megapixel EXR CMOS sensor. And its lightweight aluminum body comes in three designs: dimpled synthetic black leather; smooth synthetic tan leather; and synthetic red leather.
"The Fujifilm X series is known by photographers for their outstanding image quality, precision build, and stellar performance," said Go Miyazaki, president and COO, Fujifilm North America Corp. "And the Fujifilm XF1 lives up to that reputation, while adding a new level of portability and style with its unique, retractable f/1.8 manual zoom lens along with a lightweight and durable aluminum body covered in synthetic leather for a bold, retro look."
The camera's lens has new High-Transmittance EBC coatings on all surfaces to reduce flare, as well as optical image stabilization to produce crisp, clear images. And Fujifilm says the XF1 can shoot in low light without boosting sensitivity, keeping noise to a minimum, by using high shutter speeds to prevent camera shake and stop subject motion, without the need for flash. And with the XF1, you can capture images with a bokeh depth-of-field effect (for sharp subjects set against out-of-focus backgrounds).
For easy handling, a touch of the zoom ring lets you select one of three camera configurations. In portable mode, the lens retracts fully inside the body, minimizing camera size. In standby mode, the lens partially extends but remains closed. Then, with one more touch of the ring, you activate the camera into shooting mode. And, an on-screen menu dial gives you full control of the camera's manual shooting options. The dial is customizable and enables quick setting adjustments and selections. Plus, you can assign six functions to the E-Fn button, permitting manual control via the 3.0-inch, 460k-dot LCD monitor.
Built for quick response, the XF1 offers fast autofocus, even in dark settings. It boasts a start-up time of 0.55 second, focus acquisition in 0.16 sec, and a minimum shot-to-shot time of 0.8 sec. And its EXR processor provides high-speed processing for hassle-free Full HD movie recording and burst photography.
Other notable features include: ISO 100–12,800; 3cm macro shooting for perfect close-ups; motion panorama 360º; six filter effects with 11 patterns; five film-simulation modes; a 3D shooting option; an in-camera RAW converter; and Full HD movie recording with the ability to zoom and take photos during recording, with automatic scene recognition. $499.95. fujifilmusa.com

Fabulous PQ and Deep Blacks
This review is from: SAMSUNG Samsung 60" Class (59.9" Diag.) 1080p 600Hz Plasma HDTV PN60E6500EFXZA
Pros: -Excellent Picture Quality
Cons: -Would like the remote back light to be brighter.
Other Thoughts: No noticed "buzz" sound like some owners have reported. To hear any buzz you have to put your ear right up to the unit with an abundance of white. Even then without the sound on it is hard to pick up.

Great TV for the price!
This review is from: SAMSUNG Samsung 60" Class (59.9" Diag.) 1080p 600Hz Plasma HDTV PN60E6500EFXZA
Pros: Great looking, great picture, very bright, good 3d, comes with a pair of 3d glasses
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: TV is great, I would buy another and would recommend it. It's one of the largest and cheapest smart TV's I could find. So far I'm very happy with my purchase. I did however do a proper "break in" for the first 100 hours. It was tough to not just plug and play, but figured I would try to do it right so far no issues with the TV what so ever.

excellent but unreliable
This review is from: SAMSUNG Samsung 60" Class (59.9" Diag.) 1080p 600Hz Plasma HDTV PN60E6500EFXZA
Pros: the picture quality on this TV is extremely good. The problem is that Samsung plasma technology is unreliable. The company will only warranty this very expensive high end plasma TV for one year, which is quite telling. My TV developed a number of rows of dead pixels going from the right to the left of the display. this happened a few weeks after the warranty period had ended and despite begging and pleading Samsung told me that I was solely responsible for the $900 cost to replace the entire plasma display. I had to throw the TV in the dumpster..... What a waste of money.
Cons: in the dumpster after one year, Samsung customer support unwilling to help.

Trafficking in Persons Interim Assessment - Ukraine
|United States Department of State

|United States Department of State, Trafficking in Persons Interim Assessment - Ukraine, 24 February 2010, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4b8e7a6723.html [accessed 1 June 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
[From the introductory text accompanying this report on the U.S. Department of State website: "In most cases, the Interim Assessment is intended to serve as a tool by which to gauge the anti-trafficking progress of countries that may be in danger of slipping a tier in the upcoming June 2010 TIP Report and to give them guidance on how to avoid a Tier 3 ranking. It is a tightly focused progress report, assessing the concrete actions a government has taken to address the key deficiencies highlighted in the June 2009 TIP Report. The Interim Assessment covers actions undertaken between the beginning of May – the cutoff for data covered in the June TIP Report – and November. Readers are requested to refer to the annual TIP Report for an analysis of large-scale efforts and a description of the trafficking problem in each particular country or territory."]
The Government of Ukraine has made some progress in its efforts to combat trafficking in persons since the release of the 2009 Report. The government slightly increased its rate of prison sentences for traffickers and demonstrated increased funding for victim protection, assistance, and prevention. More concrete improvements, however, are needed in the punishment of traffickers and addressing trafficking-related complicity.
During the first half of 2009, the Government of Ukraine convicted 37 trafficking offenders under Article 149 of its criminal code, six of whom appealed their sentences; 13 convicted offenders were sentenced to 2 to 10 years' imprisonment. In July 2009 the prosecutor general demonstrated a more aggressive approach towards sentencing traffickers by obligating prosecutors to challenge all trafficking verdicts that allow a light penalty; however nearly half of the 37 defendants were only sentenced to probation. Eight of the defendants' assets were confiscated.
The government did not prosecute or convict any government officials for trafficking complicity, but in October 2009 it initiated an investigation involving an anti-trafficking officer who allegedly demanded a bribe to facilitate the illegal smuggling of people through Ukraine. The Ministry of Interior recently finalized a handbook for anti-trafficking investigators that includes information on victim identification and referral guidelines. During the interim assessment period, the government selected two pilot regions to develop and test a referral mechanism for victims of trafficking.

Date: Nov 25, 2010
Route: Karachi to Abu Dhabi
Flight: EY 222
Aircraft: Airbus A320
Registration: A6-AIC
Dep: 0520 (Actual 0530)
Arr: 0645 (Actual 0636)
Seat: 21F
The long journey back to Toronto began with me leaving the house at 0130. Very soon we were at the airport by 0220 and after a relatively short check in and customs and immigration I was inside the secure area by 0305. With a lot of time to pass I decided to tour the terminal area with it's little shops. I found this interesting lounge which within the busy area is a haven of quietness and a nice break from the area below. It is accessible to the public though has the ambience of a lounge for Business passengers. I believe Internet connectivity is available as well, as might be in the rest of the departure lounge below.
Runway Lounge at Karachi's International Departure lounge.
(Not affliated with any airline but is operated Gate Gourmet in Karachi)
My breakfast at the lounge prior to boarding my flight.
I went back down to the main departure area only to find my flight boarding. At the door was a tall and friendly Purser who donned the normal dark grey outfit with the exception of the scarf being the only difference! Her bright cheerful eyes and welcoming smile added to the warmth on board the aircraft. The tiny Airbus A320 was half full and as I made my way to the back a cheery South African FA walked up to me to see my boarding card and I said "21" to which he replied "D, E or F" as I indicated with my hand to the starboard side of the aircraft. He waved his hand to 21F as he finally took my card in his hand and welcomed me on board. My excitement grew, this was the Etihad I had known!! He continued down to direct other passengers. His Chinese and Hungarian colleagues however seemed less enthusiastic and just directed passengers to their seats. Like her other European counterparts the Hungarian FA did not smile even once. Luckily we had the cheery South African on board.
We pushed back a bit late and made our way to Rwy 25R at Karachi airport. We passed the other Middle Eastern competitors at the gate, which included Qatar Airways, Emirates and Oman Air. Gulf Air had not arrived as yet. Before long we rolled down the runway and took to the air over Karachi. Unlike other flights which bank to the left and continue down to the Arabian Sea before turning right heading up to the Karachi port and the Makran coast before turing left again and then heading West to the Middle East, our jet took a straight route over the city where we passed over the Habib Bank plaza which was at one time the tallest building in Karachi! We were soon over the Arabian Sea and were heading towards our destination of Abu Dhabi.
The FAs kicked into action and the breakfast service began. There was no trolley service just the trays handed out individually as there was only one meal option available due to the short flight of a little over two hours to Abu Dhabi. My cheery South African FA handed me my meal with a fantastic smile and wished me to enjoy my meal. However something unusual happened the row up to me and some rows ahead of me got their meals while others waited. I had nearly finished my meal when those who were waiting had their meals served to them. No idea why this happened.
Soon we began our descent into Abu Dhabi and were soon landing on Rwy 13R! We were to descend by the stairs and I got excited with the thought of photographing the planes yet remained cautious as photographing aircraft is not allowed. I quickly and discreetly clicked a shot while getting down.
Once on the bus I thought it would be safe to click a pic
I got told off by the security in the blue jacket to put the camera away
Once the doors closed as we moved I got a couple of other pics
I spent the time while at Abu Dhabi to spot through the large glass windows. What magnificient sunshine and large windows to take your photos to a whole new level. Here are some of the pics
Date: Nov 25, 2010
Route: Abu Dhabi to Toronto
Flight: EY 141
Aircraft: Boeing 777-300ER
Registration: A6-ETF
Dep: 1020 (Actual 1315)
Arr: 1535 (Actual 1740)
Seat: 51A
After spending a few hours litterally spotting through the large gorgeous windows at Abu Dhabi airport I learnt that my flight was now delayed from 1020 to 1315. I was lucky due to this delay I could photograph the Grand Prix formula one aircraft left around 1040 that day.
Back at the gate we got prepared to board our aircraft. A large Punjabi family was in the line ahead of me and as we got to the door they handed out all six boarding passes to the Purser at the gate. She was very senior compared to the other Etihad FAs I had come across but her year's of experience showed immediately as she addressed the entire family by their last name welcoming the whole family on board. I almost felt relieved like unlike my last flight this one was going to be good. With that warm welcome extending down to me on board, it continued for all the rest in the line. I passed other FAs on the way who warmly smiled and had to say excuse me to two others near the galley who happily chatted instead of welcoming me board lol. I got to 51A and then progressed to continue photographing and taking advantage of the warm Middle Eastern sunlight!
My ride to Toronto
Walking down the air bridge I tried to get some shots.
Views from the aircraft
While taxing out the Purser came on the air and explained the reason our flight to Toronto and the flight to New York had been delayed due to the late arrival of the Boeing 777-300ERs from Jeddah. She profusely apologised for the delay and said she and her crew would do their best to make up for the delay in ensuring our flight was going to be a comfortable one. It was nice of her to take the time to explain the delay. I would have assumed the captain would have done that.
After a very long taxi and a three hour delay we thundered down Runway 31R and climbed on our 13 hour 30 minute journey to Toronto. We passed the following on the way
The flight data on the flight was unavailable. This was the case on my flight with Etihad some years ago back to Toronto.
Menu card for today's flight
Shish Tawook dinner on board. The only option left and the cost of sitting in the last few seats on the plane.
Etihad's unique dessert service. Again not dissapointed!
The crew on this flight was mainly made of Asian FA's who could have easily been mistaken for Eva Air FAs had their uniforms been dark green instead lol. The other mix was of Middle Eastern and Kenyan nationals. Of particular interest was a Middle Eastern FA who served my area and smiled warmly at each passenger. She attended to calls and if stopped in the ailse for requests attended to them by returning with the request in no time. When she had come by to collect our trays the guy in 51B was still having his meal so she apologised for trying to take it, and assumed I was having my meal too. When the dessert service rolled by she noticed our trays still not collected so she took them to the back and then continued with the dessert service. A woman with three kids were in the 3 seats configuration in front of my 2 seat configuration, and she took a little extra time with them even taking time to ask the little boy what his options were, and not just leaving it to the mother to decide for him. The other FAs too took care of all the request as well, but this FA was clearly the best of them all. Fortunately no dragons encountered on any of the other EY flights.
Gradual change in the scenery outside as we progressed.
Over Eastern Canada. You could tell my the chill near the window lol
The usual mid-flight snack, chocolate popcorn and ice cream was served but I didn't take any pics
The last meal served prior to landing in Toronto.
We made it back to Toronto and landed on Rwy 06L on a windy evening. We taxied and soon parked near the regular evening traffic.

Sean Moore
B.A., University of Massachusetts at Amherst, 1991
M.A., Georgetown University, 1995
Ph.D., Duke University, 2003
Courses Taught
ENGL 419: Intro to Literary Analysis
ENGL 513: Survey of British Literature to 1800
ENGL 767: Literature of the Restoration & Early Eighteenth Century
ENGL 768: Literature of Later Eighteenth Century
ENGL 968: Seminar/Eighteenth Century Literature
Fields of Research
Restoration and eighteenth-century British literature, cultural and Irish studies
Sean Moore's research and teaching is focused on postcolonial, economic, and book history approaches to Restoration and eighteenth-century literature, with a particular focus on the cultures of Ireland and the Anglophone Atlantic. His monograph, Swift, the Book, and the Irish Financial Revolution: Satire and Sovereignty in Colonial Ireland (Johns Hopkins UP, 2010), won the 2010 Donald Murphy Prize for Distinguished First Book from the American Conference for Irish Studies. It argues that Jonathan Swift helped to mobilize the Irish print media for the promotion of Ireland's cultural, political, and economic sovereignty. His new book project, entitled "Slavery and the Making of the Early American Library," studies how the transatlantic book trade—the purchase of London printed books by Americans eager for British cultural capital and identity—was enabled by the philanthropy of colonial slave traders and by the consumer habits of slave owners. Moore continues to work in Irish Studies, however, and has edited and published "Ireland and Enlightenment," a special issue of Eighteenth-Century Studies that explores the influence of Continental and British philosophy on Ireland and the rise of an indigenous Irish Enlightenment.
Moore's articles have appeared in PMLA, Atlantic Studies, The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation, and other journals and essay collections. For one of these essays, he received the international Richard H. Rodino Prize from the Ehrenpreis Centre for Swift Studies in Münster, Germany. He has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, American Antiquarian Society/National Endowment of the Humanities (AAS/NEH), the Preservation Society of Newport County (Newport Mansions), the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC), the John Carter Brown Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Fulbright program, Duke University, and UNH.

Should We Just Break Up? - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The scene opens at Karma and Jenni "Jwoww" and Sammi "Sweetheart" make up and are friends now. Ronnie is drinking a lot and Sammi is worried that he is going to over drink again like he did in Miami. The roommates go home and Ronnie falls on the bean bag chair. Sammi cooks something for him and he goes upstairs. Sammi tries to give it to him after it is done and he doesn't want it. They snuggle and then Ronnie starts to puke and Sammi runs out of the room after helping him a little bit. The next day, Jenni finds that Nicole "Snooki" slept in the dog area and she picks her up and puts her into her own bed. Ronnie comes out and tells that he doesn't feel good and that he is bleeding from his butt. He asks if Sammi can come with him and she agrees.
Ronnie meets with the doctor as Sammi waits. They get to the "root" of the problem and give Ronnie some cream and the doctor tells him to lay off the alcohol for a bit. He goes out to meet Sammi and tells that he had to get probed. She starts laughing and they have a good time with it. Meanwhile at the house, Nicole, Deena and Jenni go to the pharmacy and in the car, they talk about masturbating. They get to the pharmacy and Nicole plays with the toys. She gets on a tricycle. She rounds a corner and falls and breaks the tricycle. They wedge the handlebars on and walk away. Later that night, Pauley tells that Nicole and Deena need to get ready. They tell that they want to have sex with Pauley and he is game for it, but it is clear it is sarchastic. The roommates get ready to go to the club.
They arrive at the club and Dario and Petey, Ronnie's friends, are there too. Deena takes a liking to Dario. Nicole meets a man named Jeff and he is the typical guy that she likes. She is going to take him home with her tonight. The others get their "groove" on and Deena asks if they can go home now. They get home and Nicole gets the "smoosh" room and they get ready to do it when she finds out that she is on her period. Downstairs, Deena is snuggling with Dario and she tells that he is not going to get the "golden ticket", but she gives it up anyways. The roommates get up and Jenni and Sammi get to work, leaving Mike in bed. Jeff sees the pole and Nicole gives him $1 to dance on the poll and he tells that it is going to break. He gets on it and it falls off. He tells that he knew it was going to happen and Nicole is on the floor laughing. She asks if he wants to go to the boardwalk.
They get to the rides and they see old people and ask them to kiss, but they don't. Nicole sees that Jeff has a tongue ring. At a café, Jeff tells Nicole that he was in Iraq and that he promised a girl that he would marry her and gave her a promise ring, but he tells that he broke it off. Nicole is turned off because she is not going to settle down with anyone right now and Jeff is. She tells that he needs to go and never call again. However, he calls and Nicole tells that he messed up and it is not going to happen. He keeps calling and next Pauley D. answers the phone in a message type of voice and tells him to leave a message. Jeff does and then hangs up. He calls again. This time Pauley is pretending to be a pizza parlor. Jeff asks what he can do for Nicole to say that he is sorry. Pauley tells him to get roses and fried pickles.
Later on, Ronnie tells Sammi that the girls and her need to clean up the kitchen and clean out the refrigerator. As they go do GTL, the girls plan to go to the sex shop and Sammi tells that she will go too. They get there and start to try on different outfits. Nicole tells Jenni that she is cute and they get their things and leave. The guys get back and Ronnie is upset that they had to clean up the kitchen, get the food, and cook the food. The girls get in and Ronnie starts in on Sammi for not doing what he asks. At dinner, everyone compliments the dinner that Ronnie made, but the tension is tight between Ronnie and Sammi. Later, Sammi gets ready for work and ask what she did. They get into work and they are 2 hour late. Nicole hates working. Jenni tells that she is happy to be single and Roger is a good time. They get home and they are going to go out. Sammi and Ronnie are fighting again and the roommates asks if Sammi is going. She tells that she isn't.
Mike,Vinny, Pauley and Deena get to the club and Pauley sees Danielle the "Stalker". They make amends and he invites her back to the house. Sammi talks to Nicole at the house and tells that she didn't do anything. She tells that she isn't going to deal with it. They get back to the house, and Pauley pulls out the "I love Jewish Girls" shirt. She laughs and she is embarrassed. Vinny comes in and tells that she is a stalker. He asks what she is doing there. Pauley tells that they made peace. They give her a hard time and They say goodnight to her and they get to bed.
In Ronnie and Sammi's room, Sammi tells that she wants Ronnie to come to bed with her and tells that she doesn't want to deal with it anymore. Ronnie tells that he is tired about it and is tired of the breaking up, making up cycle. Sammi demands that he look at her and tell that they are broken up. Sammi continues and tells that she needs closure and that she wants it to be clear. They continue on the balcony and Ronnie tells that he is tired of her stuff and that she is a waste of time. Sammi tells that she has been through enough and tells that it is the breaking point of their relationship and she is fine with it. Sammi is going to move her bed and stuff out of the room. Ronnie tells that Sammi is going to have a bad time not being with him.

So everyone says that sessions have security risks, I want to know what kind of risks are these? What can hackers do with sessions?
This is not about knowing how to avoid attacks, I want to know how hackers are doing it, and what are they doing.
I talk about
