Fortunately I just got a link through from Sky News Politics which got me angry enough that I found energy for a bit of a rant which one friend* is sweet enough to call 'social commentary.' Anyway, this is the link. Maybe I lack empathy but this horrified me. I was stunned at the figures that have been on benefits for over ten years. That's not welfare, its fostering dependence!
A fellow blogger recently wrote a blog on PND? I wish I had the time! which brilliantly captures how those of us that just need to get on with things don't have the luxury of giving up. Like Elizabeth, I have sympathy for those genuinely suffering but often depression seems like a way of opting out. It's not as though the rest of us go through life without trials and tribulations.
I've long hated those modern equivalents of chain letters, you know, the put this in your Facebook status or you like raping baby rabbits things. I saw one this week that said "Depression is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign that you have been trying to be strong for too long. Put this as your status if you know someone who has or has had depression. Will you do it, and leave it on your status for at least an hour? Most people won't, and 1 in 3 of us will suffer it at some point in our lives. Show your support." Urgh!
It's just bollocks isn't it? Not that depression can't be a genuinely debilitating condition (I hesitate to call it a genuine illness 'cos you know, you can't cure yourself of cancer) but it's all too easily latched onto. I was wrongly diagnosed with depression a number of years back (it was in fact a normal after effect of severe glandular fever) and part of the problem seems to be that we can't accept that life sometimes is hard. My GP (I should have made a complaint but hey, I was in a low place) took one look at a stressed out student and put me on antidepressants. I eventually got out of the cycle against my doctor's wishes and pulled my life together but I don't think victim is too strong a word to describe the way the system operates.
When the fiancé was having a tough time recently I said I'd support him with one exception. I said I didn't believe he had depression and was gone if he took that excuse. Hard line? Yes, I've never claimed to be anything but a bitch but his GP said he was depressed and his GP was wrong. The fiancé, like many people had got stuck in a career rut and was struggling to find his sense of self. When he realised he had my support for pursuing his dreams, he started making changes and would not fit anyone's criteria of being depressed today. Thank heavens he had me to hold his hand in saying no to them messing with his brain chemistry.
I don't blame the doctors. Despite my one personal hiccup I think the NHS is amazing and think the majority its staff do the best job they can. But a typical appointment tends to feel like an exercise in ticking boxes. The GP I've seen in the last twelve months has been lovely but his time has clearly been in short supply and it has been a case of specific problem solving: you had a car accident, you hurt where, your symptoms are what, lets take a look, ok this will ease pain, this will help you sleep, I'm signing you off work for two weeks, returning to light duties.
I have no issue with the care I received. Two weeks was about right, I slept for a few days and the painkillers worked. But it's a system that could let you slip through the cracks. I wanted to return to work and I had a working partner willing to support my recovery back to work. He never put a time limit on it but the fiancé's support was clearly linked to actual physical recovery with a clear end point in sight.
Had I been single, had I not had a job I was eager to return to, had I a different mother on the end of the phone then my recovery could have been very different. Once I'd got a bit better the expectation (from the fiancé, from my mother, from my boss and mostly from myself) was that I'd take my drugs, put in a day's work then collapse in a hot bath before repeating. Sure it was hard, I hurt a lot but what was the alternative? Like Elizabeth argued, it was too self-indulgent not to and I didn't have the time.
Yes, I favour cutting benefits but largely because they clearly don't work. Sure, I had the luxury of sick pay so technically I received money to recover but significantly for a moderately serious injury I was only off work for two weeks. There is a need for financial support but people need a system that focuses on getting them off that support. I got on with things because I had goals (such as getting the mortgage that bought the house I'm writing this from) which I have my family to thank for. I don't have all the answers but a starting point surely has to be creating incentives for people to fix their lives rather than incentives not to!
* I even met him once... at a Tweetdrinks. AND he bought me a diet coke which if that isn't real friendship then I don't know what is.

Scope of work: Wallpaper Removal, Interior Painting
Location: Morristown, NJ 07960
Timeline: 5 days
Our team at Monk's Home Improvements was called in to paint the entire interior of this Morristown, NJ home.
Our team at Monk's applied new paint to six rooms in this home. Certain rooms had wallpaper that would first need to be removed before our team could begin painting.
To begin the project our team thoroughly inspected the state of the home's walls.
Once the wallpaper was removed the walls were smoothed. All of the walls were primed before painting.
After prepping the area our team applied two coats of high quality interior paint to the walls and one coat to the ceiling and trim.
In only a handful of days our team at Monk's had transformed this entire home interior.
Another job well done by our team at Monk's!

X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) is a specific structure observed in X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). By analyzing the XAFS, information can be acquired on the local structure and on the unoccupied local electronic states.
Atomic spectra
The atomic X-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) of a core-level in an absorbing atom is separated into states in the discrete part of the spectrum called "bounds final states" or "Rydberg states" below the ionization potential (IP) and "states in the continuum" part of the spectrum above the ionization potential due to excitations of the photoelectron in the vacuum. Above the IP the absorption cross section attenuates gradually with the X-ray energy. Following early experimental and theoretical works in the thirties,[1] in the sixties using synchrotron radiation at the National Bureau of Standards it was established that the broad asymmetric absorption peaks are due to Fano resonances above the atomic ionization potential where the final states are many body quasi-bound states (i.e., a doubly excited atom) degenerate with the continuum.[2]
Spectra of molecules and condensed matter
The XAS spectra of condensed matter are usually divided in three energy regions:
Edge region
The edge region usually extends in a range of few eV around the absorption edge. The spectral features in the edge region i) in good metals are excitations to final delocalized states above the Fermi level; ii) in insulators are core excitons below the ionization potential; iii) in molecules are electronic transitions to the first unoccupied molecular levels above the chemical potential in the initial states which are shifted into the discrete part of the core absorption spectrum by the Coulomb interaction with the core hole. Multi-electron excitations and configuration interaction between many body final states dominate the edge region in strongly correlated metals and insulators. For many years the edge region was referred to as the "Kossel structure" but now it is known as "absorption edge region" since the Kossel structure refers only to unoccupied molecular final states which is a correct description only for few particular cases: molecules and strongly disordered systems.
X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure
The XANES energy region[3] extends between the edge region and the EXAFS region over a 50-100 eV energy range around the core level x-ray absorption threshold. Before 1980 the XANES region was wrongly assigned to different final states: a) unoccupied total density of states, or b) unoccupied molecular orbitals (kossel structure) or c) unoccupied atomic orbitals or d) low energy EXAFS oscillations. In the seventies, using synchrotron radiation in Frascati and Stanford synchrotron sources, it was experimentally shown that the features in this energy region are due to multiple scattering resonances of the photoelectron in a nanocluster of variable size. Antonio Bianconi in 1980 invented the acronym XANES to indicate the spectral region dominated by multiple scattering resonances of the photoelectron in the soft x-ray range[4] and in the hard X-ray range.[5] In the XANES energy range the kinetic energy of the photoelectron in the final state is between few eV and 50-100 eV. In this regime the photoelectron has a strong scattering amplitude by neighboring atoms in molecules and condensed matter, its wavelength is larger than interatomic distances, its mean free path could be smaller than one nanometer and finally the lifetime of the excited state is in the order of femtoseconds. The XANES spectral features are described by full multiple scattering theory proposed in the early seventies.[6] Therefore, the key step for XANES interpretation is the determination of the size of the atomic cluster of neighbor atoms, where the final states are confined, which could range from 0.2 nm to 2 nm in different systems. This energy region has been called later (in 1982) also near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), which is synonymous with XANES. During more than 20 years the XANES interpretation has been object of discussion but recently there is agreement that the final states are "multiple scattering resonances" and many body final states play an important role.[7]
Intermediate region
There is an intermediate region between the XANES and EXAFS regions where low n-body distribution functions play a key role.[8][9]
Extended X-ray absorption fine structure
The oscillatory structure extending for hundreds of electron volts past the edges was called the "Kronig structure" after the scientist, Ralph Kronig, who assigned this structure in the high energy range ( i.e., for a kinetic energy range - larger than 100 eV - of the phoelectron in the weak scattering regime) to the single scattering of the excited photoelectron by neighbouring atoms in molecules and condensed matter.[10][11][12][13][14] This regime was called EXAFS in 1971 by Sayers, Stern and Little. [15][16] and it developed only after the use of intense synchrotron radiation sources.
Applications of x-ray absorption spectroscopy
X-ray absorption edge spectroscopy corresponds to the transition from a core-level to an unoccupied orbital or band and mainly reflects the electronic unoccupied states. EXAFS, resulting from the interference in the single scattering process of the photoelectron scattered by surrounding atoms, provides information on the local structure. Information on the geometry of the local structure is provided by the analysis of the multiple scattering peaks in the XANES spectra. The XAFS acronym has been later introduced to indicate the sum of the XANES and EXAFS spectra.

Myself, Michael Prewitt, and Matt Laufer teamed up to create this formal, eazy-breezy company site for Swiss Croon advertising and design out in Royal Oak. HTML, CSS, and some Javascript were the tools used from my end of things.
Designer Gomar2 employed development assistance for the re-launch of his portfolio site, gomar2.com. We used Django as a framework to establish the connection between database driven content and fluid URL/page system. Using Gomar's pre-determined brand as a design guide, the site consists of HTML, CSS and some Python over a MySQL database and Apache server.
Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Summer 2010 exhibit identity and design including invitational mailer, gallery guide, newsletter, and special newspaper as part of exhibit. Printed in Michigan. Spot printing.
A community site for Ypsilanti, Michigan based basketball league Common Bond Basketball; we utilized the open source development framework, "Joomla". Responsibilities on this project included CSS, HTML and some PHP configuration. This is my first public site which includes a registration function as well as event calendar and payment system, all implemented through Joomla's open source extension library.
Tripledose, the downriver Detroit design group worked with me to create this website. It includes a custom Wordpress template and of course work in HTML, CSS and some pre-written Javascript.
The Copper Harbor Boat Works of Michigan was an early venture into brand identification for me. With that established we constructed the website like a veteran wood craftsman constructs a high quality wooden boat, utilizing HTML and CSS.

What is process work? Process work allows us to really wrap our heads around what it is that you need. It is a systemic method to distill down ideas and get the best work possible out of myself.
Graphic design may not be as expensive as you may think. Each design is unique and cost varies. I am a hard worker, and I love what I do so you only end up paying for what the work is worth.
Web standards are important because they ensure a long lasting lifetime of your website. Internet browsers update frequently as they improve, and the World Wide Web Consortium makes sure that web code designed to format, displays correctly in every browser that is built to standard as they almost all are now and into the future.
Work that unfolds according to a process is how projects become successful. We brainstorm, research then make the decisions that will determine the outcome of the project's details (in the form of a style guide). No idea or decision is made that would distrupt the style guide is allowed after a certain point, ensuring that the project maintains the consistency of a credible brand.

San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, the region's mass transit system that covers 3240 square miles for approximately three million residents, is forced to streamline operations by about $13 million dollars. The agency blames the deficit on a loss of State Transit Assistance funding, fewer riders, and decreased revenues from sales tax. To make up or the $13 million shortage, on January 7, during a board of directors meeting, board members agreed to trim $7 million in service routes by eliminating Sunday bus routes and an overall reduction in frequency on Saturdays and Sundays beginning on February 28. The rest of the deficit will be paid for by one-time reserve funds.
"The [Metropolitan Transit System] Board of Directors did not want to consider an increase in monthly pass prices or cash fares. [Metropolitan Transit System] has already increased fares three times in the last two years. The only other way to balance the budget is by reducing expenses," read a recent news release.
According to the agency's website, other options included eliminating weekday and Saturday routes. Instead they opted to reduce rates on what they say, in terms of riders, is the slowest day of the week. On an average weekday, approximately 274,000 people hop on a bus, trolley, or train. On Sundays, that number is nearly cut in half, to 145,000 riders. The agency also says that many people who ride on Sundays are out on "discretionary trips."
To assure residents that reducing weekend routes and route frequency was a last resort, the agency posted other cost-saving initiatives they have adopted in recent years on their website: "[Metropolitan Transit System] over the last three years has reduced management staff by 20 percent, eliminated pay increases and benefits, renegotiated union contracts, consolidated contracts to run bus operations more efficiently, increased advertising and other non-fare revenues, raised fares and decreased service. All of the decisions have been painful, particularly for the customers of MTS."
And while reducing routes and using one-time reserve funds have solved this year's budget, it does not address next year's budget, leaving many riders curious if new fare increases are on the way. According to the website, however, "There is no consideration at this time to raise fares for monthly passes or cash fares. The Budget Development Committee determined that [Metropolitan Transit System] riders have done their share by absorbing three fare increases over the last two years to help make up for the loss of sales tax revenues."

Sandy Eggo, by sheer size, has killed ANY attempt to redeem itself. The county is too big to support a normal sense of mass transportation. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
Sadly, these kinds of cut-backs in services are going to be the story of 2010. Did you hear about Blacks Beach lifeguard service?
Yeah. I LOVE water. LOVE to swim and have never swam in the ocean but the day I do, I'd like someone to be there to try and save me if I get cocky.
It seems that the MTS new compass card customer-tracking system turned out to be a whole lot more expensive that first anticipated.
Personally, I don't see why being tracked from station to station on the trolley with one's compass card is such a great thing for consumers. Unless one is totally drugged-out or asleep, there's no reason for MTS to be everybody's daddy and spend more on computers, tap&go terminals, and all of that data processing infrastructure to keep track of us on our daily excursions. We already have GPS in our cell phones anyways.
I haven't crunched the numbers, but I'd bet MTS would have a smaller deficit and dropped a lot less Sunday route service if it didn't give itself its new computerized Xmas present.

A city of immense wealth, stark poverty, violent crime, and cyclopean architecture
The town of Silverfox Mill was a quiet place for many years, but this peaceful town has begun to unravel. The arrival of the Usury Guild drained the populace of their livelihood, forcing many into poverty, alcoholism, and prostitution. Complicating this trying time the town has recently lost its most beloved citizen, the wizard Osric Skanderbag. With his absence it seems the long-dead witch Anna has been raised to murder and poison, but this may be a front for more contemporary threats.
The ruined city of Oldport, destroyed nearly 200 years ago during a violent raid from the sea. During the day, a desolated skeleton of what once a thriving port city. During the night, magical splendor causes the city to regain its former glory and the dead rise to continue their lives.

It was said that the King fell from grace so abruptly that the earth opened up beneath his citadel so he could fall for eternity. This is exactly what happened...
Down it falls, a great concentric castle of dark stone. Cracked and broken, though upright, pieces large and small fall together in concert, frequently dashing against each other, or drawing apart to create wide gulfs to expose the hungry blackness below.
And in this tumbling castle, there sits a king, his head heavy with his crown, his hands clutching his throne in unending terror.
Remember those cliché taverns the storyteller took you in a hurry? With the fat bartender who's just cleaning a mug as you enter? Yeah, none of those here...
Fifteen men on a dead man's chest

Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

does tomatousb use jumboframes for the nas service provided via the USB interfaces (rt-n16 for example), if not , can it be done using a mod like toastman's, and would it help improve the low nas speed. the theory appears sound according to wikipedia. oh, and what size jumbo frames are supported?
Transfer speeds when using the router as NAS are limited by the rather tiny CPUs most routers have, not the size of ethernet frames. If you want need higher speeds check that the drives use ext3 as filesystem instead of ntfs, if you need even more speed you'll have to buy/build a dedicated NAS.
larger size ethernet frames decrease the processing load of a network transmission, which would in theory help on routers with weak CPUs. Ext3 is already being used, I am actually halfway down the path to trying jfs, just for kicks, as I have little confidence it will improve speeds beyond ext3.
In my experience, it doesn't help. As an occasional file dump, small media server for music, the router is great, but a NAS it ain't. But then, I am one of those people who think gigabyte LAN is slow :-|

But then, I am one of those people who think gigabyte LAN is slow :-|
That's because the LAN is only gigabit ;-)
So how can the wireless routers claim to work at 300Mb/s in wireless-N? I don't get much more than that with wired Gigabit Ethernet between fast laptop and fast server via an expensive gigabit switch - but at least it is about 4x the speed I used to get with 100Mb/s lan - maybe its limited by 300Mb/s SATA-II drives? Specs and marketing never match reality where wireless is concerned!
I believe marketing guys came from the car manufacturers. They will advertise top speed, and will never take road condition, traffic laws and traffic conditions into consideration.
So how can the wireless routers claim to work at 300Mb/s in wireless-N?
Wireless speed has absolutely nothing to do with the NAS performance of an router.

I am delighted to be in Montreal to launch the 2016 Economic Survey of Canada. I would flag that we are today also releasing another report, in our Better Policies series, which looks at Canada's policy performance across a broad range of areas, with recommendations in each. I handed a preliminary version of this report to Prime Minister Trudeau late last year, but we have been refining it since then and today are making it public.
Over the past two decades, Canada has witnessed continued economic stability and progress despite the recent crisis that wreaked havoc in most other advanced economies. In fact, Canada has never had a banking crisis and has one of the highest levels of well-being, but challenges remain, said OECD Secretary-General.
As advanced economies struggle to consolidate recovery from the deepest financial crisis in modern times, promoting innovation becomes critically important to develop new products, new services, and new ways of doing thing, said OECD Secretary-General.
To tackle rising inequalities we need to reassess the way in which our economies grow. By placing inclusiveness at the heart of the growth debate we can open up opportunity so that every citizen can realise their potential, to contribute to, and benefit from, more equitable economic growth, said OECD Secretary-General.
Solving the long-term investment 'puzzle' must, by its very nature, be a joint effort between public and private sectors. Policymakers need to partner with institutional investors to find workable solutions, said OECD Secretary-General in Montreal.
Our approaches so far have left too many people behind, detached from the "necessary tools" or the "right connections" to raise their incomes and develop their full capabilities. It is time to turn around this logic. It is time to see economics as a tool to improve people's lives, said OECD Secretary-General.
A. Gurría said that attracting enough high-skilled candidates for some countries may require introducing elements of supply, as well as demand-driven migration in their immigration regimes.
The global recovery is becoming self-sustained and more broad-based but is taking place at different speeds across countries and regions. Tackling high unemployment, fiscal consolidation and global imbalances remain the key challenges, says OECD Secretary-General.
Canada's challenge is to develop a sustainable green growth strategy centred on innovation and human capital, and design "even better policies for even better lives", declared A. Gurría at a conference in Ottawa.
"Canada and the OECD have been working together for five decades to produce better policies for better lives. We must use this partnership to reshape the global economy according to new values of inclusiveness, environmental respect and creative interdependence", said Mr. Gurría.

He says he's translating music into dollars. "Charity. The money doesn't belong to me. Does not belong to me. It belongs to the people, particularly people who need money. Charity." said Maestro Pierluigi Sampietro. Maestro Pierluigi Sampietro brought his talent to Greenwich playing a concert presented by the Connecticut Association of Filipino & American Families, Inc., benefitting reliefs efforts for those affected in the Philippines after being hit by Typhoon Haiyan in November. "The purpose of this program is to raise funds for the victims of the Filipino Typhoon Haiyan. It was very devasting and lots of Filipino families and people there have been displaced," said Romeo Somodio, President of the Connecticut Association of Filipino & American Families, Inc. As of last month, an estimated 1,785 are still missing from the world's worst storm of 2013. "We have a specific program; housing of the dislocated people over there and it's a program of our Consul General," said Somodio. Consul General of the Philippines Mario de Leon says local support is still necessary to rebuild the Philippines. "There are about 16 million people that were affected. That's about 4 million families and what we know is that 4 million people are also dislocated. I just came from the devastated provinces last week and I saw the devastation personally. While relief continues to pour into the provinces and to the affected people, I think a lot of help is still needed both for relief recovery and rehabilitation said de Leon.

text: Yesterday we decided to go and watch Jean Dujardin's latest movie, Möbius, at the cinema at 22. But then I was told about Damir Domas fashion afterparty at the nightclub Baron so I put us on the guestlist and we skipped the movie in the very last minute. The party was great, the DJ's were awesome and I also had the yummie Baron signature drink like in the good old times, champagne+vodka+strawberries, a dangerously delicious combination. Around 3 in the morning we took the taxi to Montana where we continued to party. Montana was delivering as always and we met Jean Dujardin and another French actor, Gilles Lellouche there. We told him we had skipped his movie that night for going partying instead and he said we had made the right choice ;-)

When uninstalling Portal v9, I got a message in the Installation Manager wizard telling me that the disable-v9-features task was unsuccessful and that I needed to fix the problem and re-run the task in order to complete the process.
When I try to run the task, I get this error:
WASX7015E: Exception running command: "source "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/base/wp.script/config/was/wp_VirtualPortalListAll.jacl""; exception information:
com.ibm.bsf.BSFException: error while eval'ing Jacl expression:

(file line 30)
invoked from within
"source "/opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/base/wp.script/config/was/wp_VirtualPortalListAll.jacl""
and the Portal server is not reachable from a browser. How can I correct this?
Answer by AlexRTP (196) | Dec 16, 2016 at 03:16 PM
This problem was observed on AIX, but other platforms may be affected.
The root of the problem is that this Portal server is configured to use a Derby database, and Derby allows only a single connection at a time. A rogue process was still running in the background with a lock on the database; killing that process allowed the disable-v9-features task to complete.
The problem was discovered by examining the WebSphere_Portal SystemOut.log file, where this error was observed:
Caused by: ERROR XJ040: Failed to start database '/opt/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile/PortalServer/derby/wpsdb' with class loader com.ibm.ws.bootstrap.ExtClassLoader@fcb706cd, see the next exception for details. at org.apache.derby.iapi.error.StandardException.newException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.SQLExceptionFactory.wrapArgsForTransportAcrossDRDA(Unknown Source) ... 87 more Caused by: ERROR XSDB6: Another instance of Derby may have already booted the database /opt/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile/PortalServer/derby/wpsdb.
We stopped the Portal server and ran a command to search for other running processes that might have a lock on the database. This revealed an unexpected older server instance that was still running:
# ps -ef | grep WebSphere
root 13828182 1 0 Dec 01 pts/0 20:58 /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java/8.0/bin/java... [[ very long command string here ]]
A final review of SystemOut.log revealed that process 13828182 was a previous instance of the Portal server for which the shutdown process had not fully completed. This "zombie" process did not prevent us from starting a new Portal Server process later, but it kept a lock on the Derby database, which prevented the new server instance from accessing the data.
The solution was to issue a kill command to terminate process 13828182. Once that was done, the disable-v9-features task was able to complete successfully.

Little Rocket Records Bio:
Little Rocket launched amidst tragedy, frustration and a passion to 'Do It Properly'. The Rockets wanted to go back to basics: a full service one stop point of access for artists. Distancing themselves from the modern process whereby a label starts and ends with sending music to a pressing plant, the Rockets are more invested than that; guiding, financing and supporting artists from recording the record, publicising the record, touring the record and everything else in-between.
Music was a path that the Rockets chose many decades ago and as such we could not offer anything less.
The name Little Rocket originates from within Leatherface. Leatherface's Tour Manager Chris Schaefer was an enormous character in both personality and size, earning himself the moniker "Big Rock". Eventually, due to health reasons, Big Rock was required to lose size, which lead to Graeme Rocket re-christening Big Rock as 'Little Rocket'.
The original Little Rocket was taken from this world way before his time but now Chris Schaefer, who was buried wearing his Leatherface T-Shirt, lives on through Little Rocket Records.

In earlier times you've stated that the move of independence may be too early.
Each lesson in handwriting should start on a fresh new page, so the little one becomes enough room to practice. Every handwriting lesson should begin with the alphabets.

text: Human activity has severely diminished the populations of numerous raptor species in the local landscape, and has caused many other species to vanish. Primary factors in this are the unregulated use of pesticides, the destruction or alteration of the birds' natural habitat, and unlawful hunting. Vultures, lanner falcons, and additional species have disappeared entirely from many areas in the Mediterranean Basin. Ramat Hanadiv has joined national efforts to rehabilitate these populations through a project for reintroducing and acclimating lanner falcons and vultures on cliffs in the Carmel Mountain. Since the projects beginnings in the early 1990s, dozens of vultures and lanner falcons have been released into the wild. The released birds are banded and carry small radio transmitters. From surveillance of the released individuals it has become clear that the great majority survive with much success. In order to maintain this early success and attain a sustainable population, reintroduction activity has continued, along with efforts to publicize the efforts and educate the public on the topic.

Public Outrage Mounts Against Hungary's Plan to Tax Internet Use
BUDAPEST–Public outrage was mounting Wednesday in Hungary against the government's plan to levy a hefty tax on Internet use from the start of next year, with critics saying it would be detrimental to the country's economic development, limit access to information and hinder the freedom of expression.
By Wednesday afternoon, 15,000 Facebook users have signed up to attend a street demonstration planned for Sunday in Budapest to protest against the new tax.
A trade union of teachers PSZ, which claims to be the biggest in Hungary with 40,000 members, issued a statement, saying "this measure seriously undermines the operation of public education, limits the freedom of information, of education and the right to learn."
Magyar Telekom Nyrt., the country's largest telecommunications company, majority-owned by Deutsche Telekom AG, said in an emailed statement to The Wall Street Journal that it supports the proposition of its fellow industry players that the government should revoke its plan.

A highly informative article on liposuction techniques and associated considerations was published in the January 2017 Volume 139, Number 1 issue of Plastic and Reconstruction Surgery – Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The team of writers include Dr. Spero Theodorou and Dr. Christopher Chia, plastic surgeons at bodySCULPT®, a leading plastic surgery practice in NYC. The article discusses the current trends with regard to energy-assisted liposuction and body contouring local anesthesia use with specific emphasis on preoperative assessment, medicines used, operative technique, and outcomes. A systematic review of the relevant literature on patient workup, medication overview, surgical technique and tumescent fluid techniques has been done with a practical approach that the reader may find clinically applicable.
There is no doubt that liposuction has remained one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures since 2014. It can be performed in hospitals, free-standing ambulatory surgery centers, and office-based surgery facilities. However, those choosing an accredited office-based facility have the following benefits:
- Lower costs
- Safety
- Ease of scheduling
- Convenience to both patients and surgeons
Plastic surgery practitioners, residents, and other healthcare professionals interested in turning expanded knowledge into actual practice for improving patient outcomes in plastic and reconstructive surgery will find this article really helpful. The surgeons have discussed commonly performed lipo techniques such as the following and how each of these may be a good choice for particular patients:
- Power-assisted liposuction
- Laser-assisted liposuction
- Ultrasound-assisted liposuction
- Radiofrequency-assisted liposuction
- Water-assisted liposuction
Operative considerations for lipo are discussed such as operative techniques and type of cannulas including blunt-tip cannulas to minimize perforation risk, cannulas with greater suction-tubing diameter, and smaller suction-tubing length to provide for better aspiration and more. The other topics highlighted include existing anesthetic (wetting solution) options – dry, wet, superwet and tumescent; and the medications used in wetting solutions.
A comprehensive analysis is done about the lipo procedure, right from assessing patient medical history, performing physical examination, and operative considerations, to systemic complications, fluid management, post-operative care and more. Plastic surgeons can use the data in the article to precisely calculate the patient limits of lidocaine for safe dosing during the tumescent infiltration phase of liposuction. They can also determine preoperatively, possible "red flags" or symptoms and signs in the patient history and physical examination that signify an increased risk profile for a liposuction procedure.
This well-researched article is particularly significant in the present times when there is increasing interest in maintaining a good body profile so that the body becomes an ideal vehicle to express one's individuality. It is an excellent resource for plastic surgeons looking for information on diverse liposuction techniques, patient considerations, risks involved and other details about this highly popular cosmetic surgery procedure.

The trail to the Elephant's Eye Cave starts at the Silvermine Nature Reserve, situated on the slopes above Kalk Bay and running down the Cape Peninsula.
The reserve—which does have an entry fee of 40 Rand pp at Ou Kaapse Weg—is a terrific place if you're looking for a quick afternoon getaway from Cape Town. There's a large, warm reservoir perfect for swimming and picnicking, and an easy trail up with great views of Muizenberg and False Bay.
This is a fairly easy and quick hike with plenty of other hikers. The trail traverses through open woods, exposed trail, and even a narrow ledge near the cave. It's also got a great variety of fynbos and birds.
The only part of the trail that gets a little challenging is beyond the lookout tower on the last trek up to Elephant's Eye Cave.
The cave is massive, but shallow, and provides for really cool photo ops from both inside and outside.
The entire circuit up and back only takes about an hour and a half, depending on how long you stay at the cave. A perfect, quick hike before lazing the rest of the day away at the sunny reservoir.
**Update: only certain parts of the Reserve are open because of the Cape Town fire.

The Toxic Site in Greenpoint You've Never Heard Ofby on

MySpace was the social network before Facebook, just like Yahoo was the search engine before Google.
Ex-COO Amit Kapur joined MySpace when it was just a startup, stayed until after it was bought by News Corp for $580 million in 2005, then moved on.
Since 2009, he's worked on his new startup, Gravity. Gravity helps websites like the Wall Street Journal match content with visitor's interest.
Kapur understands the threats to Facebook as it goes public. He talked with Business Insider about the lessons he learned from MySpace and shared this advice for Facebook:
No. 1: "Don't prioritize revenue over user experience. This will ultimately put the company on the wrong path," he says. "Your company's vision needs a longer horizon than 90 days out."
This was something that was "constantly frustrating to me" after MySpace was acquired, he says. At MySpace "deadlines would be set and projects would be pushed around quarterly earnings and phone calls."
Mark Zuckerberg seems to be very aware of this risk: in Facebook's S-1, his letter to investors made it clear in many different ways that he is looking to build long-term value, not short-term profits. If you don't like it, don't invest.
No. 2: Don't limit conversations to friends. "A social network that lasts is built around utility," he says meaning it becomes a core part of how people express themselves. "With MySpace we had a really great communications platform but we weren't entrenched in how people interacted in their everyday lives."
Although people put a lot of time and energy into their MySpace pages, in the end, MySpace didn't "keep up and innovate with alternatives out there," he says.
While Facebook let's people talk to their friends, it doesn't let people tap into their "inner celebrity" and express themselves to the bigger world. Because Facebook posts are only seen by friends, people have to go to sites like Tumblr, Twitter and Pinterest to fill that need.
No 3. Don't forget what people really love to do: SHARE PHOTOS. The Instagram purchase shows that Facebook knows this. But Facebook isn't going to be able to buy every new upstart that does great photo sharing. It will have to come up with ways to always make Facebook's own photo sharing better.
He also tossed in some advice for Google+. In a nutshell: Stop chasing Facebook. "How are you going to compete head-to-head with Facebook doing exactly what Facebook does so well?"
He suggests that Google tries to do what Facebook can't. It should encourage people to create a "Google identity" that helps them find the best content across all of Google's services: the best Google+ people to follow, the best YouTube videos, the best news stories and so on.
Correction: This story originally named the New York Times as a customer of Gravity when the correct customer is the Wall Street Journal. We apologize for the error.

BALTIMORE – UMBC men's basketball has announced its complete 2016-17 schedule, which features 14 home games for the first time since the 2009-10 campaign.
Game times for all home contests will be announced later this week.
The Retrievers open the season on Friday, Nov. 11, when they host Hood (Md.) College at the RAC Arena. UMBC stays in-state and visits Maryland-Eastern Shore on Sunday, Nov. 13, but returns home for back-to-back contests versus Delaware State on Wednesday, Nov. 16 and Kennesaw State on Saturday, Nov. 19.
UMBC will visit Navy on Thanksgiving Eve and takes off during the holiday weekend. Then, Ryan Odom's squad will leave the state for the first time, bound for Pittsburgh, Pa. and a meeting with Duquesne for the second consecutive season on Wednesday, Nov. 30.
The Retrievers open the month of December by welcoming Messiah (Pa.) on Saturday, Dec. 3. UMBC will serve as Mount St. Mary's first home foe when they head to Emmitsburg on Wednesday, Dec. 7. The Retrievers then face Richmond for the first time since the America East championship season of 2007-08 at the Robins Center on Saturday, Dec. 10.
UMBC will host local foe Towson (Sat., Dec. 17) and welcome The Citadel for the first time ever two days later. The squad completes the non-conference portion of the slate at James Madison on Friday, Dec. 23 and at Virginia Tech on Wednesday, Dec. 28.
Coach Odom was an assistant coach in Blacksburg from 2003-10.
UMBC opens its 14th America East campaign on Thursday, Jan. 5 when they host Binghamton and complete the home weekend with a Sunday contest (Jan. 8) versus Maine. The first AE road trip of the year takes the Retrievers to Hartford on Wednesday, Jan. 11 and to Vermont on Friday, Jan. 13.

Treat the Cause, Not the Symptom
I happened to turn on the TV while in the kitchen yesterday morning and chance to hear actor Chris Hemsworth discussing what it took to lose thirty-three pounds for his role in The Heart of the Sea. He said that gaining weight to play Thor in The Avengers movies was fine—"You eat a lot and lift weights," but to lose weight, it made him feel desperate.
Describing his weight loss regime: "That was underfed, which led to a pretty moody existence and inconsistent emotions, and so on. In order to do it justice (the story), we had to suffer in some way. And we did. There wasn't a whole lot of acting required. We were desperate."
GMA Host Robin Roberts asked, "You were truly suffering? You had, like a celery stick, or something?" Chris replied, "Like a boiled egg and some salad, nothing much. And you know, you play all sorts of games: 'If I eat this, then maybe I don't eat that.' The insanity—it was nuts."
Listening to him describe his experience made me stop what I was doing. I just stood there in the kitchen, thinking about the mental craziness we women have put ourselves through in order to lose weight. He's an actor and lost weight for a role, but that did not spare him the mental backlash that is biologically driven when our bodies go into starvation mode.
With January and the New Year's Resolutions fast approaching, maybe this year you'll make a resolution to address your weight issue in a different way. Instead of combatting overeating with (temporary) under-eating, why not focus on figuring out why you are overeating in the first place? There is always a reason. And once you understand that reason, you become empowered to make a permanent change.
If you need help, I offer a comprehensive self-coaching guide in my book, Love Yourself Lighter: How to End Your Weight Struggle by Changing the Way You Think. Click here to get your copy. I am also taking on new coaching clients in the New Year. If you think one of those spots is yours, click here to schedule a chat with me and claim it!
Let 2016 be the year you put an end to your weight struggle by learning how to treat the cause, not the symptom. The cause is always going to be the way you think. And once you change out those old tapes in your head, then holding on to the weight struggle no longer remains necessary.

Christian Beliefs:
Christians believe that when you die you will be judged. If you died believing in God and Jesus, you can be forgiven for your sins and go to heaven. The main reason for believing this is because in the bible, it suggests the only way to get to heaven is through Jesus, so if he forgives you, you may get to god in heaven. If you are a different religion or do not have one you will automatically go to hell even if you were the nicest person on the planet.
Some Roman Catholics still believe in purgatory unlike Protestants. This is because a Pope long ago talked about it and as Protestants were against the Pope, they didn't believe it. The Pope said if you are not yet good enough to go to heaven or bad enough to go to hell you will be sent to purgatory. Purgatory is like a waiting room to get to heaven, where you will work off your sins until you are good enough to go to Heaven.
Christians also believe in resurrection. Jesus was resurrected as he came back to life. Some believe your soul escapes and will be rejoined with your body and resurrected at the end of the world.
Islamic Beliefs:
Muslims believe when people die, they stay on the earth. On the last day of existence, everyone is called to the plain of Arafat. God will then judge you on how you live your life. Muslims who were good will go to heaven first. Then one by one, the different religions get to go to heaven. Finally, the very bad people and the people who did not have a religion can go to heaven. So everyone reaches heaven eventually, but you must stay in hell for a while until you work off your sins. Life is a test so if you are good you will pass the test quicker.
I like this idea and think it is fair because everyone will go to heaven eventually, even if you were bad or of another religion – you will just have to stay in hell until your work off your sins, so when you are truly sorry and have proved it, you may be with God.
This is similar to Christianity and protestant beliefs because if you are good and believe you can go to heaven. It is similar to Roman Catholic beliefs because most people can go to heaven. It is different because everyone can get to heaven eventually and on the last day of existence god calls you to the plain of Arafat, unlike Christianity where you are judged as soon as you die.
I would like to believe in life after death because it is hard to think one day you are there, in the world, and the next day you are gone. It is nice to think there is something out there and death is not the end.
I think Islam is better than Christianity because if you are a different religion in Christianity or not sure what to believe, you are automatically put in hell for eternity which isn't fair for those who contributed a lot to society. In Christianity and Islam, you only get one chance at life so in one respect, I prefer Hinduism and Buddhism.
I think Hinduism is slightly better than Buddhism because in Hinduism, you learn from your mistakes and your final reward is heaven. Some people would like Buddhism more because once you have escaped the Samsara, there is nothing, you are blown out like a candle.
I like Islam because God thinks everyone deserves to go to heaven eventually even if they are bad or a different religion so this shows understanding. Hinduism lets you work your way up to heaven giving you a real sense of achievement.
I think believing in life after death whether you have a religion or not is better than not believing in it because you have a target to focus on and gives you hope and support for the future. It makes us all different and yet the same. Just because some people don't believe doesn't mean you can't believe in it.
In conclusion, there may or may not be life after death as there is not enough proof for either side. I say it is better to believe and be wrong as it gives you hope and comfort, and if we are all right, there will be a reward in the form of heaven waiting.

Occupy the Law: The Movement for Community Rights and Rights of Nature
As species collapse around the world while governments still authorize fossil fuel extraction and other destructive, unsustainable activities, communities across the U.S. are rising in resistance to "occupy the law." They're enacting "community bills of rights" that recognize a community's legally enforceable right to sustainability and the rights of nature. Two of its most effective path-finding national and global leaders, Thomas Linzey and Mari Margil of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, show how this movement challenges our constitutional framework in which corporate rights and the preemptive authority of state and federal governments block sustainability, environmental protection and democracy.
Introduction by Kenny Ausubel, Bioneers CEO and Founder.
This speech was given at the 2016 National Bioneers Conference.

Ashton Applewhite - We Are All Aging
What's a surefire way to make activism more effective? Make it intergenerational. What's the biggest obstacle?

Debunking myth after myth about late life, author and activist Ashton Applewhite passionately urges us to come together at all ages – and dismantle ageism in the process.
