"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."
So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield. Can Elizabeth vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.

After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch.

He's the Prince of Night...

When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening to consume them both. It will take everything that they are to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.

Elena and her friends now have no conscious memories of Stefan—but each is having a difficult time adapting to a world without him. Damon can scarcely put out fires fast enough.
Bonnie feels as if she's going insane. Her latest oddity is sleepwalking across the Dalcrest campus with only a golden-eyed white "dog" as a companion. This behavior terrifies the others, especially given the recent attacks in neighboring towns that leave girls drained of blood.
More, Bonnie finds herself caught up in her own love triangle with Matt's shy new roommate, Bastian, and Damon. She realizes that Damon should be completely off limits, but she can't help feeling there is someone else who is Elena's perfect partner somewhere.
No one knows much about Bastian, who has white-blond hair and golden eyes, but he doesn't seem to like Damon. Is Bastian just jealous of Damon's affection for Bonnie or does he have some darker secret?
Meanwhile, both red roses and black are mysteriously appearing for Bonnie and Elena. Who are they from, and why do they seem so important? The War of Roses has just begun. . . .

// Goodreads //
Queen of Scotland and the Isles By Stefan Zweig. Originally published in 1935. Foreword: The clear, the manifest, is self-explanatory but mystery is a spur to creative imagination. Always, therefore, figures and events that are shrouded in mystery demand elucidation and stimulate the ingenuity of the artistic mind Among historical problems that call unceasingly for solution, the tragedy of Mary Stuart ranks as a crucial instance. Surely of all the women who have made their mark in the world, no other has been the theme of so many dramas, novels, biographies, and discussions. Throughout four centuries she has allured poets and tor mented the fancy of men of learning. Still, today, her story has again and again to be retold. Because that which is confused craves for clarity, that which is in darkness strains towards the light. The answers to the riddle of Marys life and character are almost as contradictory as they are manifold.

There are only eight breeding female werecats left...
And I'm one of them.
I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds.
Despite reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the night a Stray attacked.
I'd been warned about Strays — werecats without a Pride, constantly on the lookout for someone like me: attractive, female, and fertile. I fought him off, but then learned two of my fellow tabbies had disappeared.
This brush with danger was all my Pride needed to summon me back... for my own protection. Yeah, right. But I'm no meek kitty. I'll take on whatever — and whoever — I have to in order to find my friends. Watch out, Strays — 'cause I got claws, and I'm not afraid to use them...

Fledgling witch Morgana must defend her love, her home, and her life in this enthralling tale perfect for fans of Discovery of Witches
In her small early nineteenth century Welsh town, there is no one quite like Morgana, who has not spoken since she was a young girl. Her silence is a mystery, as well as her magic. Concerned for her safety, her mother is anxious to see her married, and Cai Jenkins, a widower from the far hills, seems the best choice.
After her wedding, Morgana is heartbroken at leaving her mother, and wary of this man, whom she does not know, and who will take her away to begin a new life. But she soon falls in love with Cai's farm and the wild mountains that surround it. Cai works to understand the beautiful, half-tamed creature he has chosen for a bride, and slowly, he begins to win Morgana's affections. It's not long, however, before her strangeness begins to be remarked upon in her new village. A dark force is at work there—a person who will stop at nothing to turn the townspeople against Morgana. Forced to defend her home, her man, and herself, Morgana must learn to harness her power, or she will lose everything.

Elena survives, but Stefan decides that the only way she will ever truly be safe is without him. To make his exit complete, Stefan removes himself from the memories of Elena, her friends, and all of Fell's Church.
Can first love ever really be forgotten? Will Damon finally have Elena by his side as his Princess of Darkness? The epic story begins in Evensong: Paradise Lost.

BLURB: At the novel's center: the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, hero, leader, inspirer, irresistible force, irrepressible spirit, battling (and ultimately reconciling with) a strange otherworldly form that has somehow taken possession of Lestat's undead body and soul. This ancient and mysterious power and unearthly spirit of vampire lore has all the force, history, and insidious reach of the unknowable Universe. It is through this spirit, previously considered benign for thousands of vampire years and throughout the Vampire Chronicles, that we come to be told the hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times; a mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent--and of how and why, and in what manner and with what far-reaching purpose, this force came to build and rule the great legendary empire of centuries ago that thrived in the Atlantic Ocean. And as we learn of the mighty, far-reaching powers and perfections of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand its secrets, and how and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit.

BLURB: Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life. Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood. The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows - everyone knows - that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn't, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her. But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose. Uprooted is a hugely imaginative, engrossing and vivid fantasy novel, inspired by folk and fairy tales by Naomi Novik, the author of the Temeraire series. It is perfect reading for fans of Robin Hobb and Trudi Canavan.

A girl with a secret talent must save her village from the encroaching darkness in this haunting and deeply satisfying tale.
Alys was seven when the soul eaters came to her village.
These soul eaters, twin sisters who were abandoned by their father and slowly morphed into something not quite human, devour human souls. Alys, and all the other children, were spared—and they were sent to live in a neighboring village. There the devout people created a strict world where good and evil are as fundamental as the nursery rhymes children sing. Fear of the soul eaters—and of the Beast they believe guides them—rule village life. But the Beast is not what they think it is. And neither is Alys.
Inside, Alys feels connected to the soul eaters, and maybe even to the Beast itself. As she grows from a child to a teenager, she longs for the freedom of the forest. And she has a gift she can tell no one, for fear they will call her a witch. When disaster strikes, Alys finds herself on a journey to heal herself and her world. A journey that will take her through the darkest parts of the forest, where danger threatens her from the outside—and from within her own heart and soul.

Drawing on the unexpurgated journal — "The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition" — the organization developed several scripts to use during the program. "Growing Up in Hiding," the one to be performed on Saturday, October 18, includes entries about Anne's tentative romance with Peter van Pels and her frustrations with the adults around her. "They still see her as a child, when she really doesn't feel that way," said Ms. Vaughn, who compiled the script. Ultimately, "it also touches on her hopes and dreams." Intended to celebrate the National Day on Writing (Monday), the program incorporates a tour of the center's gallery and a writing exercise: Children will choose one of a series of quotations from the diary and connect it to their lives.

A presentation given by ERCOT officials on Monday warned that a combination of sustained high electricity demand and a high number of power plants going offline for unplanned maintenance could lead to a Level 1 Energy Emergency.
A day later, Texas' main grid operator issued just such a warning as record temperatures drove up demand to a new record and some 3,000 megawatts of generation capacity was out of service for unexpected issues.
The presentation was given during a web-based meeting of ERCOT's Generation Adequacy Task Force, one of several technical groups made up of officials from ERCOT, power plant operators, local utilities and other industry participants.
The discussion was about differences between ERCOT's Capacity, Demand and Reserves Report from the beginning of summer and situations that occured on two days earlier this summer — June 27 and July 14 — when ERCOT asked consumers to conserve power during peak hours.
The reserve scenario predicted in the earlier report is one created for long-range planning and not meant to reflect the day-to-day reserves situation that ERCOT faces. But the presentation pointed out some key issues that seem to be of concern.
The earlier prediction expected peak demand to be just 63,898 megawatts, even less than last summer's record-breaking peak, based on expected weather and economic demand projections. It also expected to reserve margins — the difference between the electric demand and electric generation capacity — to be 17.5 percent.
On June 27, the reserve margin was 6.6 percent while the margin on July 14 was 5.7 percent.
Some of the differences between expectations and reality? The number of megawatts provided by "Private Networks" — industrial sites like refineries or chemical plants that generate their own power and sell excess power onto the grid — was less-than expected on both days. There was about 1,000 megawatts less on June 27 and 1,500 megawatts less on July 14. (see the graphic)
Also, the number of plants either offline or running at reduced capacity because of maintenance was larger than expected. On June 27, nearly 5,000 megawatts were down for unplanned maintenance and on July 14 about 5,046 megawatts.
Production from wind turbines on both days was more than previously expected, however.
The Generation Adequacy Task Force isn't charged with looking at power demands and capacity in ERCOT on a day-to-day basis. Rather, it looks at long-term issues and how to improve those forecasts.
But the final bullet point in the presentation on Monday was telling, given the events on Tuesday:
"If in the next month the current Resource Forced Outage/Derate of capacity continues and ERCOT experiences loads above 66,500 MW then ERCOT would possibly be in an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) level 1 or higher."
Tuesday and Wednesday saw new records for demand and about 3,000 megawatts and 4,000 megawatts of power plant capacity offline respectively. In an interview with reporters on Tuesday Kent Saathoff, ERCOT's vice president of system planning and operations, said that wasn't unusual for a typical summer day.

Tony Drummond, Ph. D.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
February 27, 2004
SIAM Associated Conference: Parallel Processing 2004
This short course introduces state-of-the-art computational tools currently used worldwide in science and engineering. Such tools for addressing more complex physical and societal phenomena, along with the growth of computing resources, is driving the continuous growth of the gallery of computational sciences applications. This community includes scientists and designers and developers of high-end technology who require computerized modeling solutions. Computational science has also branched out into new fields realizing the need for efficient, robust, reusable, and portable software libraries providing implementations of numerical algorithms to solve core problems in traditional and emerging fields. We will focus on the use, implementations and applications of these libraries.
Tony Drummond, Ph.D., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
A researcher at LBNL. He is co-PI for the ACTS project. His research interests include the development and study of iterative techniques for the solution of large systems of equations, and high performance applications. He has co-organized several workshops on ACTS and has lectured on ACTS at several major national and international venues.
Sherry Li, Ph.D, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
She is a researcher at LBNL and the UC Berkeley. She is known for her work on sparse matrix computations. She is the principal author of SuperLU, a parallel sparse direct linear equation solver. She has experience working with computational scientists, including the development teams of other ACTS tools.
Osni Marques, Ph.D., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
A researcher at LBNL and the UC Berkeley Computer Sciences Department. He is the PI for the ACTS project. Osni's research interests include the study, implementation and testing of algorithms for the solution of problems in numerical linear algebra, and high-end scientific computing and has co-organized and presented several ACTS tutorials.
The ACTS Collection is a set of software tools that were developed mostly at US Department of Energy's laboratories and in some cases in collaboration with other institutions. These tools make it easier for programmers to write high performance scientific applications for parallel computers and have been successfully used by many scientists to address their computational needs. The ACTS Collection actively promotes high performance algorithms and programming techniques, and has provided a framework for educating users of the HPC technology, and we are eagerly working to reach out other areas in computational sciences. For more information visit http://acts.nersc.gov.
This short course will briefly present background material that will help the audience understand better the concepts and effective use of the tools. Following, we will present introductory tutorials with detail examples and applications of the following tools:
• Tools for the solution of systems of equations: SuperLU and ScaLAPACK.
Here we will cover the basic numerical techniques and functionalities addressed
by these tools. Participants will learn how to select parameters and numerical
algorithms based on their computational problem.
• Tools for numerical library tuning, PHiPAC and ATLAS, as well as performance monitoring TAU. We will present a brief introduction to the use of PHiPAC and ATLAS, as well as understanding of their output reports. We will also instrument different examples to illustrate the many uses of the TAU library. Some of these examples will involve the use of other tools present in the ACTS collection.
• PyACTS, a Python based interface to use one or several tools in the ACTS collection.
Lastly, we will briefly introduce the functionality of other tools present in the collection and that will not be covered in great detail in this short course. Examples of these other tools are: TAO, OPT++, PETSc, HYPRE, SUNDIALS, OVERTURE, CUMULVS and Global Arrays. This short course is organized in a way that is complementary to the 8-hour short course on "Algorithms and Software for Scalable Solution of PDEs", organized by Prof. David Keyes, were tools like PETSc, HYPRE, SUNDIAL and TAO will be covered in more detailed.
Promote the use of reliable software tools that scale in high performance computing systems. In addition, these tools have been ported to many state-of-the-art computational systems. Thus, they offer their users a transparent migration to a new system. In addition, they maintain or improve high scalability and software reliability levels without the users paying the high price of tuning their codes to a particular architecture. This course is intended as an introduction to the use and the functionality available in the ACTS Collection.
The tutorial starts by introducing general concepts and notation used in these software libraries, followed by a walk through their functionality. We will present examples of their use with a gallery of applications benefiting from these techniques. The content level of the proposed tutorial will be 30% beginner, 50% intermediate and 20% advanced.
The target audience is scientists, engineers and scientific software support personnel who are developing new, porting existing, or maintaining numerical software for high-performance computing.
Attendees most have a basic knowledge of parallel computing and numerical methods. Moderate knowledge to expertise on the domain of the scientific computing application or area where the computational problem arises.
The following is the proposed outline and distribution of the short course on the ACTS Collection. To the benefit of the course participants, this outline will be updated with new materials and topics as new developments in the ACTS Collection become available. However, the time limit, 4 hours, and main scope of the course will be preserved.

Our aim with this site is to provide information for all, whether you are a regular member of our congregation, planning to attend a service, visit the Church, or just want to look at our website.
St Mary the Virgin Gamlingay: From the past, for the future - repair, restore, revive.
The initial request for grant funding to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has been successful. There is now much work to do in order to take the request to the next level of approval. This we will aim to complete by early August.
This is to include the church roof repairs, needed as a result of the lead theft last October, along with other work on the church, including improvements to church facilities and other essential repairs to the church fabric.
The launch of this Project took place in April. The intention is that the community in Gamlingay will get involved in the challenge of putting our church into good working order, so it is warm, comfortable and accessible to young, old and everyone in between. Whether for worship, quiet reflection, marking special life events or putting on exhibitions, concerts, and other events, we want to see this wonderful ancient building serving the community it belongs to both now and in the years to come.
More information on this project will be available soon.
As you will probably know by now a considerable amount of lead was stolen from St. Mary's Church roof on Wednesday 24th October 2018.
Many thanks to all those people who have expressed their support and offered help. The cost of the repairs to the building and replacement of the lead will be considerable. A fund will be started once the full costs are known, we hope everyone will support our fundraising efforts.
There is now temporary weather proofing in place and church services continue as usual.
If you have any information about the theft please contact:
Rev. Hilary Young - firstname.lastname@example.com or the police on 101.

Equation Solver
Time Limit: 1000 ms Memory Limit: 65536 KiB
Problem Description
Write a program that can solve linear equations with one variable.
The input file will contain a number of equations, each one on a separate line. All equations are strings of less than 100 characters which strictly adhere to the following grammar (given in EBNF):
Note that all numbers occuring in the input are non-negative integers, while the solution for x is a real number.
Although the grammar would allow to construct non-linear equations like "x*x=25", we guarantee that all equations occuring in the input file will be linear in x. We further guarantee that all sub-expressions of an equation will be linear in x too. That means, there won\'t be test cases like x*x-x*x+x=0 which is a linear equation but contains non-linear sub-expressions (x*x).Equation := Expression \'=\' Expression Expression := Term { (\'+\' | \'-\') Term } Term := Factor { \'*\' Factor } Factor := Number | \'x\' | \'(\' Expression \')\' Number := Digit | Digit Number Digit := \'0\' | \'1\' | ... | \'9\'
Note that all numbers occuring in the input are non-negative integers, while the solution for x is a real number.
For each test case, print a line saying "Equation #i (where i is the number of the test case) and a line with one of the following answers:
- If the equation has no solution, print "No solution.".
- If the equation has infinitely many solutions, print "Infinitely many solutions.".
- If the equation has exactly one solution, print "x = solution" where solution is replaced by the appropriate real number (printed to six decimals).
Sample Input
x+x+x=10 4*x+2=19 3*x=3*x+1+2+3 (42-6*7)*x=2*5-10
Sample Output
Equation #1 x = 3.333333 Equation #2 x = 4.250000 Equation #3 No solution. Equation #4 Infinitely many solutions.

Knedle ze śliwkami (dumplings with plums)
Many countries have their own versions of potato based dumplings; kroppkakor in Sweden, Klöße in Germany, Knödeln in Austria and so on. In Poland there are many dumpling variants made of boiled potatoes. We have the ones with savoury filling "Pyzy", the sweet ones "knedle" and "kopytka" which are not filled with anything at all. Some people would probably want to add "pierogi" to the above dumpling list, but their dough normally doesn't contain any boiled potatoes (apart from the filling) so they don't really belong here.
Knedle ze śliwkami is typical Polish sweet dish, often eaten as a sweet dinner. The Polish kitchen isn't always healthy… :-) Normally the dumpling dough is made of boiled potatoes, but I found a variant made out of quark (my middlename should be quark…) on the Polish food forum which I read. The result was excellent, and even Fredrik really liked these dumplings.
Knedle ze śliwkami
(makes 12, serves 4)
250 gr quark (don't use Kesella as it's too runny; I made my own quark)
1 egg
120-130 gr flour
2 tablespoons of melted butter
12 small sweet plums
12 tsp caster sugar
For serving:
melted butter
caster sugar
Wash the plums, pat dry and stone by cutting a gash. Stuff each plum with one teaspoon of sugar.
Boil water in a large pot.
Prepare dough in a bowl by mixing all ingredients. Work dough until firm, if the dough is too sticky add some flour. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, then flatten each piece with your hands and wrap it around each plum.
Put the knedle in boiling water, 6 at a time or less depending of the size of your pot. When they start floating carefully boil for about 8 minutes until you think that the plums are soft. Take out the dumplings carefully with a slotted spoon. Pour melted butter over the knedle and sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon.

Wedding Blogger, Meg Keene, has this to say about cutting out expensive wedding party favors:
Give each girl a framed photo of the two of you together, along with a letter explaining how much she means to you.
It does remind me of one of my good friends, for a birthday gift, put together a small scrap book 4X6, ribbon tied together, on just her and I over the years with little quotes in it and I absolutely loved it better than all the gifts she has ever bought me. She spent her time making it and taking time to personalize to fit just her and I. This would also be a nice wedding gift.

Australian Psychiatrists Urge Government To Lift Nicotine Ban
There's been a shift in the debate over access to e-cigarettes containing nicotine in Australia.
Many psychiatrists operating within the country are urging the government to lift the ban on nicotine, because the mentally ill who are documented as being heavy smokers could stand to benefit from using vapor products instead of continuing to smoke cigarettes.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) states that the mentally ill are more likely to smoke heavily with life expectancy cut by 20 years compared to the general population, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
It is currently legal to purchase vapor products in Australia, but it's illegal to sell, possess or use nicotine with them.
The move by the RANZCP is the first instance of a specialist medical college or major health group to go against Australia's medical community, which is largely in favor of banning e-cigarettes, The Herald reports.

House Panel Says To Exempt E-Cigs From FDA Rules
Burdensome FDA Regulations came to be under the Obama era, but the Trump administration has delayed enforcement of the new FDA rules. During this delay, a house panel is once again trying to exempt e-cigs from the Food and Drug Administration rules. Legislation approved by the Republican-controlled Appropriations Committee prevents the FDA from requiring retroactive […] #vaping
House Panel Says To Exempt E-Cigs From FDA Rules
Daily Mix Tip: If you're looking for an exact 1 to 1 clone of your favorite commercial e-liquid, get that thought out of your mind. Figuring out the exact recipe is generally not going to happen, not because the flavorings are hard to get, but because figuring out the exact percentages and combination is usually damn near impossible for most average palates. To create a Remix of your favorite flavor will require identifying the flavor profile as best you can, write it down, then purchase flavorings you think it might be to test (if you don't have them on hand.) You can also search through the recipe sites or ask around the groups if anyone has any recipes that resemble that profile, this can help you gather a shopping list. No it is not cheap to recreate a commercial juice, because there are a lot of brands out there, so prepare for buying the same flavor across multiple brands in order to figure out which one it may be.
While you are looking to create your favorite commercial e-liquid, don't forget to continue to try out or create new flavor profiles you may in turn love even more than your favorite commercial brand. You'll always have something to vape as long as you keep mixing. http://ow.ly/vQdK30cKsHi
VON ERL. makes distribution deal with big tobacco company
Austrian vaping company VON ERL. has partnered with Fontem Ventures to boost its distribution strength. Fontem is a subsidiary of Imperial Brands, which is the parent company of Imperial Tobacco, the fourth largest international tobacco company.
VON ERL. is the maker of the well-known My. VON ERL., a popular pod system, sold primarily online and through vape shops. According to the company, they're now available in more than 3,000 outlets in 12 countries.
An alliance with Fontem will give VON ERL. the distribution power of a tobacco company, and allow their products to be seen by substantially more smokers in many more points of sale. This is likely to become a common strategy for mid- and large-sized e-cigarette companies. Vapor Beast was acquired last year by "little tobacco" company Turning Point Brands.
Fontem owns many e-cigarette patents, including Hon Lik's original Ruyan patent.
Fontem Ventures makes Imperial's non-tobacco nicotine products, and is best known for the Blu e-cig brand, which it acquired when Reynolds American International (RAI — better known as RJ Reynolds) bought rival Lorillard. Reynolds and Lorillard were forced to divest themselves of some brands (which also included Winston, Kool and Salem cigarettes) by the Federal Trade Commission.
One of Fontem's purposes when the subsidiary was created was "to acquire, manage, operate, encumber and dispose of property, including patents and other intellectual property rights." Fontem owns many e-cigarette patents, including Hon Lik's original Ruyan patent. In fact, along with their 2013 purchase of the Hon Lik/Dragonite patents, Hon himself came to work for Fontem. He still does.
Fontem Ventures has been responsible for good science on vapor products, including funding some studies that were done by independent researchers. The company also created an astroturf advocacy site that recruited vapers through social media to contribute their stories, while hiding its origin. That site shut down quickly after being exposed as a non-grassroots effort.

CDC: vaping is the most popular quit smoking method
A study released last week shows that vaping is now the most popular smoking cessation product. The only more popular techniques were quitting cold turkey and gradually reducing the number of cigarettes smoked.
The information came in a "research brief" from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a U.S. government agency, and was published in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease.. The authors include Dr. Tim McAfee, director of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health. McAfee has been a staunch opponent of e-cigarettes and vaping.
The study looked at almost 16,000 adult smokers over a period of 26 months. The goal was to determine which of 10 quitting methods worked best. As it turned out, about three-quarters of those who tried to quit used more than one method.
Combining the smokers who either substituted some or all of their cigarettes with vapor products, e-cigarettes were used by more than half of everyone who tried to quit — twice the number that used FDA-approved nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) like patches and gum.
Please ignore our study
Despite the result, the authors thought it necessary to downplay the potential and effectiveness of e-cigs with a flurry of the tired we-just-don't-know and more-study-needed sentiments. They really want you to quit THEIR way.
"There is no conclusive scientific evidence that e-cigarettes are effective for long-term cessation of cigarette smoking, they wrote. "E-cigarettes are not approved by the FDA as a smoking cessation aid. FDA-approved medications have helped smokers to quit, in many instances doubling the likelihood of success. Finally, we found that most smokers who are switching to e-cigarettes or 'mild' cigarettes are not switching completely. These smokers are not stopping their cigarette smoking."
These folks are willing to do backflips on a tightwire to avoid saying anything positive about vaping.
Well, actually no one smoking "mild cigarettes" is switching at all. "Given that our data show that e-cigarettes are more commonly used for quit attempts than FDA-approved medications, further research is warranted on the safety and effectiveness of using e-cigarettes to quit smoking."
Perhaps they could ask some of the millions of smokers that have quit cigarettes and now vape instead. But that's probably too much to ask. These folks are willing to do backflips on a tightwire to avoid saying anything positive about vaping.
The truth is out there
"The CDC has finally acknowledged the popularity of vaping," Dr. Brad Rodu told the Winston-Salem Journal. Dr. Rodu is a professor of medicine at the University of Louisville, and a well-known proponent of tobacco harm reduction, the substitution of less-risky products like e-cigs and smokeless tobacco for cigarettes.
"This study documents that vaping is American smokers' most popular quit-smoking aid, despite a broad misinformation campaign labeling e-cigarettes as neither safe nor effective."
Gregory Conley, president of the American Vaping Association (AVA), told the Journal, "A prior CDC study showed that among smokers who had successfully quit in the prior year, nearly one-fourth were current users of e-cigarettes, a finding that cuts against the outdated claim that there is no evidence that vapor products help smokers get off combustible tobacco products."

Setsuban is celebrated by throwing beans around your house and at temples and shrines to drive out evil spirits. Zojoji Temple in Tokyo is a great site for this so I decided to join in.
The landmark of Tokyo tower sits directly behind Zojoji Temple making for an interesting pairing.
The ceremony began with a processional. Golden disks were dropped on the priest as he came through the gate.
The processional even included a small group of gagaku instruments - sho, ryuteki, hichiriki.
The crowd gathered and the throwing began! It was wild. Part of the celebration is that each person is supposed to eat the same number of beans that he or she is old. I didn't try that part...
Mostly bags of peanuts, soybeans, and other unidentified objects. The crowd was very into it!
And after the first bean throwing - out came the evil demons!
And how do you chase away evil demons... with a horde of bean throwing children, of course.
And finally, after the children have finished off the last of the demons, out comes Caramel Corn Bag Man!
And more bean, peanut, and Caramel Corn Bag throwing ensued.
This all went on for quite a while to the sound of a priest shouting "Oni wa Soto, Fuku wa Uchi" (Devils out, Happiness in) into a very loud PA system. It was great fun and I was glad to have been there for it.
On the way out I stopped to take a picture of the Zojoji Bell.

The Power System Frequency Risk Review (PSFRR) is an integrated, periodic review of power system frequency risks associated with non-credible contingency events in the National Electricity Market (NEM).
In accordance with Clause 5.20A.1 of the National Electricity Rules (NER), AEMO, in consultation with Transmission Network Service Providers (TNSPs), prepares a PSFRR for the NEM, considering:
- Non-credible contingency events which AEMO expects could likely involve uncontrolled frequency changes leading to cascading outages or major supply disruption.
- Current arrangements for managing such non-credible contingency events.
- Options for future management of such events.
- The performance of existing Emergency Frequency Control Schemes (EFCSs).
2018 Power System Frequency Risk Review
AEMO completed a PSFRR assessing frequency risks in each region of the National Electricity Market (NEM). The PSFRR made the following recommendations which will be progressed in 2018:
- Modifications to the following EFCSs:
- System Integrity Protection Scheme (SIPS) in South Australia.
- Central Queensland to Southern Queensland Special Protection Scheme (CQ-SQ SPS).
- Submitting a request to the Reliability Panel for declaration of a protected event to manage risks related to destructive winds in South Australia.
- Joint AEMO/Powerlink studies to evaluate the risk of major supply disruption in Queensland due to over-frequency caused by islanding.

2017 Power System Frequency Risk Review – Multiple Generator Trips in South Australia
AEMO completed a PSFRR that specifically considered the loss of multiple generating units in the South Australian region when South Australia is importing energy from Victoria.
Under such conditions (as occurred on 28 September 2016) the loss of multiple generating units could lead to the loss of the Heywood Interconnector, and islanding of South Australia from the rest of the NEM, followed by cascading loss of the remaining South Australian generating units and black system.
The PSFRR recommended the implementation of an interim EFCS as the most efficient way to mitigate this risk. This EFCS was commissioned in December 2017.

April 17, 2016 – Injustice: Muslim Woman Disgraced By Rude Flight Attendant On Southwest Flight In Washington
Muslim Woman Kicked Off Southwest Plane By Rude Flight Attendant In Washington
A Somalian-American devout Muslim woman was heading to Seattle from Washington on Wednesday when Southwest airline gave her a seat in between two men after a layover in Chicago.
Because of her religion, she felt uncomfortable in between opposite sex and kindly asked another passenger to trade seats.
Her request was granted but while she was moving to the new spot, a rude flight attendant confronted her and ordered her to leave the airplane.
Humiliated, Hakima Abdulle left the plane as instructed. She was booked onto another flight later that day.
The Council on American Islamic Relations demanded the airline apologize for kicking Abdulle from the plane without reason however the airline didn't grant their request.
Southwest spokesperson told the media that the flight attendant followed proper procedures.
