Bogle, Robert
Jan. 1817–after 1860
Robert Bogle, portrait and genre painter, was probably born in or near Fayetteville, or in Georgetown, S.C., a twin son of Dr. James and Sarah Auld Bogle. Of his early education nothing is known, but he likely attended Fayetteville Academy, of which his father was principal from 1811 until his death before 1820. He probably followed his twin brother James to study under Samuel F. B. Morse in 1836, and by 1838 he traveled with James in North and South Carolina, painting portraits and genre paintings together. In 1843 Robert separated from his brother James and went to New Orleans in 1844, where he married Adelaide Bailey in 1845. His first daughter, Ada, was born in South Carolina ca. 1846, while a son, Robert, was born in Italy ca. 1848, and another, Harry, was born in Maryland ca. 1850. By 1859 he lived in Baltimore, but moved to Georgetown, D.C., in 1860, where he exhibited a portrait at the Washington Art Association. In November 1860 he appeared in Charleston; no trace has been found of his subsequent career.

The writer and performer Julie Klausner's new book, "I Don't Care About Your Band: What I Learned from Indie Rockers, Trust Funders, Pornographers, Felons, Faux-Sensitive Hipsters, and Other Guys I've Dated," is a dating memoir that manages to avoid excessive self-deprecation, self-pity, or self-flagellation. It's also a smart, highly literate, and wickedly funny take on pop culture. Take for instance, the chapter in which Klausner discusses the troubling implications of Kermit and Miss Piggy's relationship. She writes, "Miss Piggy wanted what I did, which was to be rich and famous and fabulous and to be loved by her one true frog and occasionally Charles Grodin. But looking back, I realize I was, for lack of a better word, just not that into her." Throughout the book, she also ponders the implications of her fading admiration of Larry Flynt, compares an awkward meeting with an adolescent crush to a legendary scene from "Fargo," and, as the title implies, makes a watertight case against dating musicians. It is, in short, the perfect antidote to the reams of mindless chick lit published every year. We caught up with Klausner earlier this week.
You seem to be particularly fond of female writers and performers from the seventies, something that I personally completely understand (I would love nothing more than to be best friends with Julie Christie circa "Shampoo"). Is it a coincidence that you like Pauline Kael, Madeline Kahn, and Karen Black, or is there something in particular about the women of that era that we're lacking nowadays?
First of all, I couldn't be friends with the Julie Christie from "Shampoo," because every once in a while I'd catch a reflection of the two of us in a shop window or something, and I'd want to commit suicide. She is too beautiful and it's deeply unfair in every way. But as for my infatuation with the seventies, I don't think it's a coincidence that it was the decade of first-wave feminism. I didn't write "Girls Like Us," but I still have a deep appreciation of the ladies of that era, from Carole King to Shelley Duvall, and I think a big part of their moment was the sense women must have shared about "this is our chance" opportunism. We could finally pounce on a post-sixties culture with the equity feminism promised us. This was going to be our turn to shine and be free to be you and me and all of it, once the Sexual Revolution turned out to be just another branch of the fuck-us-over machine. So, I guess part of what's missing now is the enthusiasm of being on the cusp of something new, in addition to a broader cultural environment where unique female voices could thrive, whether it was the case of King breaking out of the Brill building's songwriter factory to come into her own as a performer of her own material who had frizzy hair and her God-given nose to Duvall getting work in big films where she could haunt people with her saucer eyes and land a joke like nobody's beeswax.
In the book, you repeatedly assume a guy with the right taste in books, movies, and music will automatically be a romantic fit for you. Your assumptions are proved wrong, to hilarious effect, but as someone who obviously cares about culture, where do you draw the line? For instance, could you love someone who though "Crash" was totally awesome?
Do you mean "Crash" the Oscar-winning movie about race, or "Crash" the David Cronenberg movie about people who get turned on by car crashes? Neither movie is an acceptable choice, but don't get a ride from the guy who likes the second one. As for the question, I think that since the nineteen-fifties, when the counter culture was created, it's been important for creative and critical people to connect about what they do and don't love, and I think it's a tribute to the influence of social networking and its association with youth culture that we can finally develop contempt for teen-agers who define themselves by a hyperlinked list of bands or book titles. The "you are what you like" thing is just suddenly immature, and when I saw the preview for "500 Days of Summer," and Joseph Gordon-Levitt fell in love with Zooey Deschanel as soon as she recognized a Smiths song on his iPod, I reacted really virulently. Because it should have been enough for a guy his character's age to go for a girl who looks like a pinup, with eyes like swimming pools—it wasn't until she tipped him off that she and he were the same on the taste-o-meter when he felt safe enough to fall.
In the book, you are very frank and unapologetic about your sexuality, but at the same time you seem skeptical about the idea that wanton hooking-up, à la "Samantha Jones," is always an empowering thing, and you positively reject the idea that women should feel stupid for getting attached to the men they're "just sleeping with." It seems to me that women get some highly mixed messages in this regard, especially from other women.
Oh, totally. I wrote the book in that "don't feel stupid" tone because I hate so-called self-help books that give their version of "tough love" to girls in the form of school marm-ish reprimands about spreading their legs, or refusing to settle, or eating dairy. Also, for the record, I hate tough love. I like kind love. And fuck regret, too. It's like the goy-ish version of guilt in a way—looking backward instead of forward, giving the finger to the natural chain of cause and effect, which is the whole premise of education. And until somebody invents time travel, it's just such a waste, feeling bad. So, that said, yes, there are contradictions to saying I regret nothing and then telling a story about how I was hurt because I didn't protect myself going into a situation that I thought would be casual, and then sleeping with a guy and falling for him. But I'm also not telling people reading my book that they should learn from my mistakes, because people only learn from their own, when it comes to stuff they really want to do.
How do your experiences as a performer inform your writing, if at all? Do you try to "play a character" when you write, or do you prefer to just "bleed on the page"?
I guess from having been in front of an audience you know the importance of keeping something you write conversational and dense with jokes. But in my book, I didn't want to be performing the stories as much as I just wanted to be truthful and entertaining. And the thing that bugs more more than anything with memoirs—the thing I think people hate about memoirs when they say they hate memoirs—is when somebody is self-consciously playing a character on the page; this version of themselves that they're creating for the sake of sympathy, or self-deprecating comedy, or how they think they'd seem cool to strangers, or even worse, witty or clever, which are two words i hate almost as much as the actual things they describe. So, as scary as it was to spill the intimate details of my life, going back to family stuff, my sexuality, growing up, connecting with people, making mistakes, learning and not learning from them—and, also, I was somebody who'd never really talked about my personal life on stage or on my blog before—it was somehow more terrifying to me that I'd write a memoir I'd look back on and see as affected or ersatz or otherwise not truthful and lame. If I was going to do it, I was going to do it. I was going to go there, Ricki! Or Wendy Williams!
Last but certainly not least: Are the men of our generation really a bunch of wimpy little Kermits?
I grew up thinking that Miss Piggy and Kermit were the model of a romantic relationship. Piggy, despite her glamor and her confidence and karate kicks, always had the lower status, because whenever she'd express interest in marrying Kermit, he'd gulp and run away to tend to his show or his friends, or to go play his banjo in the swamp. Her amorous intentions were terrifying to him. And I do think our culture is seeing a generation of guys who are not quite able to meet the expectations of women who grew up with feminism and post-feminism, and who still want to be dated and courted and fallen in love with and all the other passive-voiced ways of describing quite active, traditional mating rituals that don't exist anymore. I hate trend pieces about how "kids today" get together in groups and end up having sex with no strings attached until somebody gets hurt, but it's very much a thing that happens, and not only to kids. My book deals with men well into their thirties who've never been married and are still reaping the "free love" rewards of the Sexual Revolution. So, you have men my age who want to hook up and hang out with no responsibility or expectations that they pursue a relationship, and women my age who are hugely educated and gainfully employed, who feel entitled to have sex with no shame—but then, still end up feeling terrible. I do think men are always going to be more entitled than women—and this generation of men in particular feels more entitled than ever because now they actually expect to be pursued by women.
I think what you see now is a generation of men whose dads never knew which traditions about "how to be a man" they should impart, and so the result is a bunch of kids in their thirties who are confused and totally scared—especially if they do want to connect with women and don't know how. When it comes to gender identity for men, those questions have never been answered. Feminism was for women and men never had an equivalent movement or discourse in its wake, so of course the sons of men who witnessed the sexual revolution and feminism alike have sons who are meek and scared and feckless and twee. They don't have the confidence that comes along with instructions—even the confidence of somebody who defies them.
I also think that "Kermithood," for lack of a better term, is a culturally sanctioned way to seem intelligent, sadly. Look at that Katie Roiphe essay about the declining libido of the literary titans. Look at Michael Cera's career. I'm at the point, frankly, where I'd rather deal with a misogynist with a copy of Tucker Max's book in his backpack over someone in sensitive emo-boy clothing, because both are misogynists, only the one with the backpack is more honest about just how scared of women he is. The modern model of misogyny has to do with marginalizing people who are sexual and thinking of them as dumb, or not serious, or not cool or tweedy enough to take seriously, for fear of seeming like one of the guys from "Jersey Shore." The sex is so much more present in sexism than, I think, ever before.

Overcome Data Disarray
Given today's competitive business climate, controlling costs is essential for the success of a building or construction project. But cost control is a challenge for many firms, especially when project teams and disconnected project data are spread around the world. It is often difficult for firms to produce the accurate, timely material takeoffs needed to estimate and control costs throughout a project.
Read this paper that explores how Autodesk® Navisworks® software helps you coordinate, synchronize, and calculate material quantities from project data to improve quantification and streamline your design-to-cost processes.

New functionalities:
- Extended TI [1].
- Improved reading and checking of input parameters.
- Speedup of pairlisting and nonbonded interactions.
- Extension of tutorial and manual.
- [1] A. de Ruiter, C. Oostenbrink, Extended thermodynamic integration: Efficient prediction of lambda derivatives at nonsimulated points, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 12 (2016) 4476-4486, DOI: 10.1021/acs.jctc.6b00458
GROMOS 11 version 1.3.0 (May 2016)
New functionalities:
- Polarisable force-field code [1].
- Order-parameter restraining [2].
- Distance-field restraining [3].
- Coarse-grained models [4].
- [1] S.J. Bachmann, W.F. van Gunsteren, On the compatibility of polarisable and non-polarisable models for liquid water, Mol. Phys. 112 (2014) 2761-2780, DOI: 10.1080/00268976.2014.910317

Addition of new force-field files (November 18, 2015)
- Checked new 56a6@CARBO-R files into official ff directory. 56a6@CARBO-R is a revision of 56a6@CARBO. The force-field changes are limited (one torsion and one type of LJ exceptions). However, this small change has a large impact on the ring conformational properties of O1-methlyated hexopyranoses and hexopyranoses within chains (no effect on free hexopyranoses).
- W. Plazinski, A. Lonardi, and P.H. Hunenberger, Revision of the GROMOS 56A6CARBO force field: Improving the description of ring-conformational equilibria in hexopyranose-based carbohydrates chains, J Comput. Chem. 37 (2016) 354-365, DOI: 10.1002/jcc.24229
Changes in force-field files (May 24, 2013)
- Correction of galactose torsion in 53A5 and later ifp files. Dihedral angle type 37 had an incorrect force constant of 4.97 instead of 6.66. This has no effect on the carbohydrate force field 56A6@CARBO, which does not use this dihedral.
- Update of beta peptides mtb files. Restored the dihedral types 39 and 40 for phi and psi, respectively, in beta-peptides, in replacement to the types 43 and 44 for phi and 42 and 45 for psi; i.e. beta-peptides in 54A7(8) have now the same phi and psi parameters as alpha- and beta-peptides in 53A6, which differ from those of alpha-peptides in 54A7(8). As a consequence the files 54a7(8)_beta.mtb from before May 13, 2013 are different from the current files.
- Addition of special N-termini for alpha- and beta-amino acids. New N-terminal patches GH3+ and GH2 for alpha-peptides; these are meant to precede a residue where CA is a CH2 united atom (for natural aminoacids, this is only glycine; for CH1 united atom, use NH3+ and NH2 instead). New N-terminal patches AH3+ and AH2 for beta-peptides; these are meant to precede a residue where CB is a CH2 united atom (for CH1 united atom, use BH3+ and BH2 instead).
- Addition of post-translational modified amino acids, see [1,2]. Building blocks compatible with the 54A7 force field can be found in the file 54a7_ptm.mtb. Building blocks compatible with the 45a3 force field can be found in the file 45a3.mtb.

GROMOS11 version 1.2.0 (September 2012)
New functionalities:
- QM/MM interface [1]
- Twin-system EDS [2]
- New replica-exchange implementation for MPI
New force-field files:
- New cofactor files 54c7_cof.mtb, 54d7_cof.mtb, 54c8_cof.mtb: Charge distributions for cofactors in the C(D) parameter sets are updated from the 43A(B)1 charge distributions according to analogy with charge distributions in similar functional groups in the corresponding A(B) parameter set. E.g. an OH-group in a cofactor in 54A(B)7 has the original 43A(B)1 charge distribution, while an OH-group in a cofactor in 54C(D)7 has a similar charge distribution as an OH-group in the peptide parameters of the 54A(B)7 parameter set. These files were not specifically tested.
Functions no longer supported:
- The GROMOS96COMPAT block was removed. To allow the reproduction of results that have been obtained using the GROMOS96COMPAT block, i.e. without contributions from excluded 1-2, 1-3 and self-interaction terms to the energy [5], a new switch (NSLFEXCL) has been introduced in the NONBONDED block. However, we strongly recommend to use the default reaction field formalism [6] (NSLFEXCL=1) that includes the 1-2, 1-3 and self-interaction terms.
- The multi-graining program was removed. The new GROMOS version allows for three coarse graining options: 1) MARTINI CG, 2) pure GROMOS CG [7], 3) mixed GROMOS CG/FG [8,9].

Throughout the year, we plan special events for preschoolers and their families to help them build a sense of community with their church family. These events are open to the community and any family with preschoolers. Some of our events include a unique Christmas party, Easter Egg Hunts, and summer fun days.
Family Dedications
At Harpeth Heights, we believe that parents are the primary spiritual leaders of their families. Our child home dedications reflect this belief as we partner with parents from the very beginning, making a covenant as a church with the family to support, pray, and walk alongside them in this journey called parenting. Family Dedications also known as Child Home Dedications are scheduled with the parents and Minister of Preschool when the family is ready to stand before the church and make a covenant with God and the church to raise their child(ren) in a Christian home. Each child is presented with a special Bible as a symbol of the church's promise to help the child on the journey to learning about having a personal relationship with Jesus.

Having pushed out the March update in time for the Titanfall carnage, Microsoft's next step in its quest for gaming domination will be to make the Xbox One a friendlier place. The forthcoming April update will focus on improving the console's notifications system to make it clearer when your pals are on and ready to game.
That's according to NeoGaf user Banjo-Kazooie, who is part of Microsoft's Xbox preview program. Pulling out choice info sent to users in the test group, Banjo-Kazooie reveals the introduction of notifications every time a friend or favourite signs in, as well as the way the console will make it more obvious when those pals are active in a multiplayer game.
Game and app saves and updates will soon have a progress bar to show how far away they are from being completed, while GameDVR video recordings will feature a tweaked compression algorithm to increase their quality. Kinect accuracy is reportedly going to be improved, as is the ability to fine tune volume levels when the sensor is being used to communicate with other players. The console's AV device management capabilities are also set to be improved, while Microsoft will also take another stab at fixing 50Hz issues affecting some European users, tweaking Blu-ray 50Hz output for content recorded at 50Hz.

My company is in need of a secretary. We don't particularly care what nationality, but we would prefer that the position was taken by a female. We seem to be unable to get a visa for a female secretary. Which is a little annoying, but what to do yanni? Ok we are in desperate need of a secretary, so lets just do what we have to do and hire a male secretary. Well having advertised in the usual Gulf Times and online, I can tell you now that men obviously don't want to be secretaries, because we didn't get a single applicant. How are companies supposed to operate without secretaries?
It would appear that other companies I deal with are having similar problems getting visas for female secretaries. What's going on?

Solution Preview
The commitment of Wal-Mart is into improvement of operations, low costs and improved customer service. However, its success can be attributed to its ability to drive costs out of its supply chain and manage it efficiently. It is in the leading edge of logistics, distribution, transportation, and technology and its business model can best be described with its advanced technology as it has the largest IT systems of any private company in the world. It has made the most significant investments in supply chain management. Its business model is based on low price strategy and low transportation costs thereby it can sell its products at the lowest possible prices.
In the early eighties, Wal-Mart has emphasized on the development and implementation of tight supply chain solutions which led them to being the top of the retail channel. Wal-Mart has been known for its legendary supply chain technology as it is able to replenish items on the self in less than three days and so amazing to know that it is from the manufacturer to the shelf and not from the central warehouse to the shelf. Wal-Mart had been able to maintain lower levels of inventory yet it can still meet customer demand. What happens is that these lower inventory levels result ...

De Souza lifts Dream to 93-85 win over Sparks
ATLANTA (AP) -- The Los Angeles Sparks had no answer for the inside combination of Erika de Souza and Sancho Lyttle in the second half.
De Souza scored 20 of her career high-tying 27 points in the final 20 minutes to lead the Atlanta Dream to a 93-85 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night. Lyttle added 10 of her 18 in the second half as the Dream scored a season-high 68 points in the paint and outscored L.A. by 20 from within the lane.
Atlanta coach Michael Cooper was not surprised.
''In taking this job, those were some of the things that I liked,'' said Cooper, who coached the Sparks to WNBA titles in 2001 and '02. ''With Sancho, Erika, Anieka (Henry), and Nadia (Colhado), you have people who can get paint points and work well in the high-low action in the high post. I thought we did well in that regard.''
De Souza, who led the WNBA last season with 18 double-doubles, grabbed 11 rebounds for her third of the season as the Dream (4-3) held off a rally by the Sparks (2-3).
Atlanta led 75-62 when Angel McCoughtry hit a pair of free throws with 1:32 left in the third quarter, but the visitors carried play for much of the next 10 minutes. McCoughtry finished with 14 points.
Jantel Lavender scored a season-high 21 points for Los Angeles, and Nneka Ogwumike had 19 points and 21 rebounds for the Sparks while Candace Parker added 15.
Parker, however, went cold in the second half.
She entered the game second in the WNBA in scoring at 24 points a game, and she scored 13 in the first half. She shot just 1-for-7 in the second half, however, and the Dream rode de Souza and Lyttle after halftime.
The Sparks drew as close as 83-82 on Ogwumike's layup with 3:20 left in the game, but de Souza countered quickly with a layup at the other end on one of rookie reserve point guard Shoni Schimmel's seven assists to start Atlanta 12-3 closing rush.
''We gave up 68 points in the paint; that has to be a WNBA record,'' Parker said. ''They were 34-for-46 (in the paint). You're not going to beat anyone giving that up.''
The Dream trailed 23-18 after a quarter, but their quick 14-0 run in the middle of the second quarter changed the game.
De Souza's three-point play with 8:46 left in the half pulled Atlanta within 27-23 to trigger the Dream burst, and when reserve guard Matee Ajavon popped a jumper with 6:04 left in the period, the home team led 34-27. The Sparks missed six straight shots - most of them early in the shot clock -- during Atlanta's rally.
''Sometimes, you hit that trick wall, but we just kept fighting,'' de Souza said of the Dream's ability to bounce back. ''When you hit that wall, you just have to try and climb over it. I feel like we didn't get down on ourselves.''
McCoughtry picked up her fourth foul with 17 seconds left in the third period, and she fouled out 3:59 left in the game. It was the fifth time in her career that she fouled out.
The Dream's 93 points were a season high, and so was their 53.4 percent shooting percentage (39-for-73 despite a 3-for-13 night from beyond the arc).
Rookie point guard Celine Dumerc, who joined the Dream Sunday after fulfilling her European commitment, went scoreless without an assist in six first-half minutes.
Cooper anticipates the French Olympic star competing to become the Dream's starting point guard.

Properly Measure Liquid/Liquid Interfaces
Follow a simple rule for location of level gauge nozzles.
Detailed design of a vessel includes determining the proper locations for level gauge/transmitter nozzles. There's little debate on the correct nozzle locations for vapor/liquid interface level measurements -- it's well understood to locate the upper nozzle in the vapor space and the bottom nozzle in the liquid phase. Martyn (1) discusses the challenges of liquid/liquid interface level measurements when using bridled (externally mounted) configurations. Our experience indicates that much confusion exists about the correct nozzle configurations for level measurements of liquid/liquid interfaces. Common questions include: "How do we know that the interface level in the gauge will be the same as the vessel?" and "Won't the light liquid get trapped on top of the heavy liquid in the gauge?"
So, here, we'll provide a simple "Golden Rule" for nozzle placement that we have used successfully in numerous refinery interface measurement applications.THE GOLDEN RULE FOR NOZZLE PLACEMENT
For proper location of externally mounted level-measurement nozzles, ensure that at least one nozzle is located in the top liquid phase and at least one nozzle is located in the bottom liquid phase.
If this simple stipulation is satisfied and the top and bottom fluids are immiscible and have different densities, then we can be sure, at equilibrium, that the pressure balance will equalize the interface levels in the gauge and the vessel.
Either a non-flooded (i.e., top nozzle connected to vapor space) or flooded configuration will allow the pressure balance to equalize the interface levels in the drum and the gauge (Figure 1). The non-flooded configuration offers the advantage of allowing for a total liquid level measurement. Sometimes multiple nozzles are used to cover the expected range of liquid inventories. In these cases the Golden Rule is satisfied as long as at least one nozzle is connected to each liquid phase at all operating conditions (Figure 2).
Oil/water interfaces are common in refining, and we often hear the question: "Isn't it possible for the pressures to balance in such a way that the height of the interface in the gauge isn't the same as the height of the interface in the vessel?" A common argument is that the extra head of water in the gauge will compensate for the smaller head of oil in the gauge, thereby allowing the equilibrium interface level in the gauge and vessel to differ (Figure 3). This argument is flawed -- if the Golden Rule is followed, the two levels will equalize. The sidebar provides a simple mathematical proof by contradiction.
In practice it can be difficult to locate nozzles to satisfy the Golden Rule under all operating conditions. If a vessel may contain widely varying levels of liquid inventories, then it's worth considering multiple nozzle locations. Select nozzle positioning and spacing to minimize the chance that one no longer is connected to a liquid phase. It's possible for light liquid to become trapped in the gauge, causing an error when the light liquid inventory no longer is connected to a nozzle (Figure 3). This could occur, for example, when the heavy liquid level drops and too large a nozzle spacing was used.
Considerations other than nozzle locations can affect the accuracy of the level measurement. It's well known that temperature differences between the fluid in the gauge and the vessel can lead to erroneous readings.
Adhering to our simple Golden Rule will ensure the liquid/liquid interface in the gauge matches the interface level in the vessel. If you can't manage liquid inventories to satisfy the rule then errors may arise in the measurement.
In Figure 4 assume the Golden Rule is satisfied -- i.e., each liquid phase in the vessel is connected to the gauge by a nozzle. At equilibrium the pressures at the middle and bottom nozzles are balanced via Eqs.1 and 2, respectively:
Pv + ρoil g H1 + ρwater g H2 = Pv + ρoil g H1* (1)
Pv + ρoil g H1 + ρwater g (H2 + Htap) = Pv + ρoil g ( H1* + H2*) + ρwater g Hwater (2)
where Pv is the vessel vapor pressure, ρoil is the oil density, ρwater is the water density, and g is gravitational acceleration. Substitution and algebraic rearrangement yields:
ρoil H2* = ρwater H2* (3)
Because the densities of the oil and water phases aren't equal and H2*≠ 0 (remember we assumed that the Golden Rule is satisfied), then Equation 3 is a contradiction and can't be true. Therefore, the equalization shown in Figure 4 isn't possible. You can examine different equalizations, all of which will result in contradictions unless the gauge interface and vessel interface levels are equal.

My apologies Interweb astro lovers...there's only a very limited January update right now. The mutable squares combined with the conjunctions of the personal planets to Pluto in Capricorn last month coincided with some massive shit-hitting-fan-type scenarios for me. (I'm sure for all of us.) Life (especially work) is demanding 100% of my focus and energy at the moment, and I'm tapped out.
The pre-Christmas jewellery-making frenzy I did at the store where I work caused some wrist problems for me that continue...manifesting, true to form, at the Gemini Full Moon Mutable Grand Cross. So I have to be very careful.
The owner had a mini-stroke at work on Dec. 23 (the day after Sun conjunct Pluto in Capricorn). He was in the hospital all week, and I ran the store by myself over Christmas.
So...exhaustion. I've been pushed past my healthy limits and have to shape up on that front. To find a new balance and work with dignity. That's my hope for all of us this year.
I've written about the Saturn - Uranus oppositions. I've written about Pluto in Capricorn. And I've written about tail-end Pisces heading into Aquarius. These are still the major themes we're dealing with now. (You can search the blog for more info.)
Saturn went retrograde in Virgo Dec. 31, heading to its second opposition with Uranus in Pisces on February 5. Revolutionizing our structures...dissolving what doesn't work anymore.
Mercury goes retrograde January 10.
So we're going back over all this.
We enter January with a stellium of planets in Capricorn (the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) and a strong Aquarian presence (the North Node, Mercury, Venus and Neptune).
Jupiter also heads into Aquarius for a year-long stay January 5...increasing consciousness and understanding of the way forward to an egalitarian humanitarian paradigm that works for everyone.
All the planets in Capricorn have been infused with Plutonic energy from their conjunctions to Pluto in December. Hidden (only to some, I might add) dynamics in our power structures/authoritarian hierarchies coming to the surface. (The biggest white collar crime in history going down with taxpayers money being funnelled to strategically chosen banks and businesses being one form.) Pressure building to an explosive point if we don't dig in with that Virgo energy and get things functioning in a more holistically pleasing way. Rebalancing of masculine and feminine.
And as always, we have to be responsible for when/what we assist and when we withdraw our services...Saturn in Virgo will hammer this home. The energy is there only for masterful application of practical service...only what's necessary and most effective. The rest must be let go of...
We must listen to the quiet voice of feminine wisdom...continuing to rush ahead with her advice unheeded will be catastrophic.
For those who are wise, there is a different way forward, and we must take it. The alternative is not a good one. For the rest...continued forcing of the issue. Continued violence and destruction of life. Use of fear and coercion to control other people. You see this on the world stage. The violence predicted in December certainly happened. And it goes all the way back to our personal lives. So now we choose better.
There's a very nice New Moon solar eclipse in Aquarius January 26...also Chinese New Year. This should be a clearing of sorts of the Capricornian issues...and a infusion of new Aquarian energy to bolster our reserves. Looking forward to that!

budget cut, Bus, funding, Inefficient, metro, Seattle, shortages, traffic, Transit
Seattle is about to undergo huge cuts to its metro transit system. As if the metro does not already suck sometimes:
Case 1: Why does it take me 1 hour and 7 minutes to go a distance that takes me approximately 10 minutes in a car? Oh, and it was only 8.1 miles – If I were able to run 8 miles straight I could have got there in the same amount of time.
Case 2: The other day the bus was stuck in traffic a block and a half ahead of where I was going to get on – I figured I would try to walk past it and get on at the next stop. When I turned off its route 1.5 miles and many stops later it still had not caught me.
Are cuts really what we need? One can hope the cuts help increase efficiency and effectiveness so the system is stronger if more funding comes…

Eisenhower beats Rochester Adams 10-6 in epic District Final
Eisenhower 2018 QB/CB Jack Morris threw an incredible touchdown pass to Eisenhower 2018 WR/S Ben Mets in the final minute of their game vs. Rochester Adams to lift the Eagles to a District Championship.
Morris filling in for the injured Max Wittwer saved an epic, gutsy, and heroic performance for the final drive after fumbling in the red zone on the previous drive.
The senior QB had a controversial play on the Eagles 2nd to last drive in which, Morris was flushed out of the pocket and fell. Morris' knee may or may not have touched the turf, no whistle blew and he turned up field for around 20 yards. Morris had a nice drive that moved the ball deep into Adams territory, but the drive ended with a fumble on 3rd down.
The Eagles defense then used their 2 timeouts, forcing Rochester Adams to punt. The Eagles wasted no time looking to hit the big play.
The running attack of Morris at QB and an another strong performance from Junior RB Caleb Oyster meant that Rochester Adams would still have to worry about them moving the chains. A fake by Morris on the game winning touchdown pass where it appeared to be a pitch, proved key as it froze the Adams D for a second and the Eagles attacked the opportunity.
For the Highlanders Junior Kicker Ben Patton added 2 clutch field goals which vs. most teams on this night would have been more than enough for the win. 2018 LB/RB Stephen Roncelli was an absolute freak as the LB easily had double-digit tackles and was an aggressive runner. One of the best plays of the day was a toss out to Roncelli in which he appeared to be tackled in open field, but miraculously broke free and ran out of bounds to stop the clock.
Cole Patritto and Missouri commit Vincent Gray had great games, Patritto had a huge first down catch that set up Adams first points. Gray wasn't tested on defense and had an incredible yards after catch in the 3rd quarter for a huge gain. Gray deflected a pass right before halftime back into play where the Highlanders intercepted the pass.
Chase Kareta is another played who has impressed us the past and playing in his final high school game played a great game on both sides of the ball, including an interception.
Rochester Adams was driving downfield in the final seconds, but was short of the endzone, following nearly a dozen laterals, the Eagles made the stop around midfield to seal an incredible victory.
#4 Eisenhower will now host #8 West Bloomfield in a battle of great football teams on what will likely take place on Friday, November 10th at Utica's Swinehart Field.

Hydra of Texas hold 'em humbled
Man beats machine in poker face-off
Supercomputers may be able to outdo grand masters in strategy games like chess but when it comes to the low cunning and judgment required in games like poker mankind still has the upper hand. Human Phil Laak this week beat PokerProbot, the Hydra of Texas hold 'em, in a face-off at Binion's Gambling Hall, Las Vegas.
Laak, 33, also outsmarted three of the card-playing programs PokerProbot defeated to win the World Poker Robot Championship, an earlier three-day $100,000 competition to find the world's best poker-playing algorithm. Supported by a cheering crowd, Laak bettered PokerProbot's pair of kings with a pair of aces in a key hand and went on to defeat his silicon-powered opponent in the last of 300 hands in a three-hour exhibition match, The Los Angeles Times reports.
PokerProbot was developed by Hilton Givens, 39 - an Indiana car salesman, programmer and sometime poker player - who lost a $100 side bet after Laak outsmarted his algorithm. The end of the encounter left Laak, who also hosts a poker show on cable TV and dates actress Jennifer Tilly, relieved rather than elated. Other card players reckon its only a matter of time before computers undo humans in games of trickery and deceit like poker.
"In three to five years, they're going to win," said Kenneth "The Clone" Jones, a professional poker player and occasional computer programmer.
Casinos bar technological aids but Poker programs are widely suspected of being surrupticiously used in online poker games, which are growing in popularity.
"It [PokerProbot] would for sure make money online," Laak (who's known as "the Unabomber" for his habit of hiding emotions behind sunglasses and a hooded sweatshirt). In simpler versions of Texas hold 'em with set betting limits "bots are better than the average person," Laak told the Los Angeles Times. He added that anyone clever enough to program a poker program that can beat a human is smart enough to create a pokerbot that would evade easy detection. ®

Welcome to my new blog series – UCLPUB2015! Every Sunday I'll be posting a roundup of my week as a student on the UCL MA Publishing course, talking about my experiences and passing along any handy tips I pick up along the way. I'm so excited to share my journey with you and hope that maybe these posts will help other aspiring publishers too!
Week 8: 23rd Nov – 27th Nov
It's been another busy week on the course with a pretty varied collection of topics. My final week at HarperCollins begins tomorrow (already!) and the deadline for our Theories of the Book assignment is looming, which can only mean that Christmas is coming!
On Tuesday morning we had a workshop on vlogging. We spent a lot of time talking about Zoella and other famous YouTubers who have stormed The Bookseller's chart recently, but I was kind of expecting more of a focus on the role of BookTube in the publishing industry. We have to upload a short vlog for our publishing channel so it would have been cool to get to grips with the practical side of creating content and filming too.
In the afternoon we launched the Twitter and WordPress accounts for our project: The Arcanum! We're currently looking for artists who would like to contribute to a collection of YA mythology stories, poems and illustrations (the details for authors will be released soon!). Take a peek at our call for submissions and visit our blog for more info.
In our Author Management class we broke down foreign rights and permissions from both a trade and academic context with Lynette Owens and Diane Spivey. I've really been enjoying our recent in-depth lessons on contracts and copyright, especially as we've considered them from an author's, agent's and publisher's angle. It's an area of publishing I didn't expect to feel this comfortable with but thanks to my internship I've had the opportunity to see (and even write!) tonnes of contracts – I'm so grateful!
Thursday afternoon was a fun lecture on literary citizenship and how we can contribute to the wider publishing and bookish community. Sam asked us to draw our own literary citizen-ship (we do love a good pun) and it was brilliant to see how creatively and differently each group interpreted the brief. Check out some of our ships on the UCL Instagram!
